LEARNING FREES SOUL
~ Goodhart, Wednesday; June 2.—The
Usefulness of Useless Knowledge was
the title of the Commencement ad-
dress of Dr. Abraham Flexner this
morning. He spoke defending the
value of free intellectual research, not
only because of the eventual contribu-
tion to knowledge which ‘it guarantees,
but also-in-the name of spiritual free-
dom and tolerance. Freedom and toler-
“ance are the essence of civilization,
and “a country like America... can
only be enriched by the folly which
drives the great thinkers, novelists,
dramatists and poets out of. the Old
World to make a fresh ‘start in the
New.”
Extracts froi Dr. Flexner’s speech
follow:
. We hear Jit said with tiresome
iteration that this is a materialistic
age and that its main concern should
be the wider distribution of material
goods and worldly opportunities. It
is quite true. The untiring ingenuity
of the inventor converts to*new ma-
terial. purposes the disinterested in-
vestigations carried on by the scien-
tist in his laboratory. The justified
outcry of those who through no fault
of ‘their own are deprived of opportu-
nity and a fair share of worldly goods
is diverting an increasing number of
_ students from the studies which their
fathers pursued to the equally -im-
portant and no Jess urgent study of
social;. economic, and governmental
problems. I have no quarrel with
this tendency. The world in which we
live is the only- world abeyt which our
senses can testify. UnlessMt is made
a better world, a fairer world, a juster
world, millions will continue to go. to
their graves saddened, silent, and em-
bittered. I have myself spent “many
years pleading that our schools should
become more acutely aware of. the

7. E. Park Gives
Baccalaureate Sermon
Goal Aims at Balance Between
Ideals and Circumstances
Goodhart. Hall, May 30.—A quin-
tet of strings with pianoforte directed
by Mr. Willoughby opened the Bac-
Fealaureate service with three selec-
tions; a Pastorale of Handel, Bach’s
Sinfénia and Mozart’s Ave Verum.
Meanwhile the academic procession of
seniors and faculty, headed by Junior
Class marshals and later joined by
the college choir, was moving fromthe
Library through Rockefeller Arch to
the main entrance of Goodhart Fall.
Parents, alumnae and students
watched-the procession _impressive
in its caps, gowns and colored hoods,
march down the main aisle to the front
section of the auditorium.
As speaker, Dr. John Edgar Park,
President of Wheaton, took the text:
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy strength, and
with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as
thyself. “We are born into an irra:
tional position, in a whirlwind of traf-
fic,”, he said, “and have to dodge im-
mediately. It is hard to extricate
the steps of idealism from the coil of
circumstance.” To love God is easy
in itself. It is also easy to love one’s
neighbor, but: to join these two steps
is almost. impossible... Thus . the
art of common daily life becomes more
important and requires more skill and
finer technique than either an artist
or a surgeon needs.
We hesitate to become mixed up in
the “formless broth of politics,’ but
it is a “mistake to allow ourselves to
be. reabsorbed into the mediaeval
slough. . .. The fitst step in living
is recognition that it is an exceedingly
difficult art, a discipline for which
.all other disciplines are a preliminary
preparation.

Lantern Critics Find. Reader’s Interest
_ Neglected for Problems of Composition
Sidi Abundant But Expressed
With Overelaborate Use
Of Vocabulary
' In criticising the current issue of
The Lantern,: we are writing from
the reader’s point of view, and our
reactions and criti¢isms are merely
subjective. Since a magazine’s func-
tion is to interest and amuse the
intelligent reader, we feel that this
kind of criticism has its value. It
seems to us that The Lantérn demands |
too much of the special sympathy for
the probiems of composition which a
teacher is willing to give, and does
not attempt to mobilize the reader’s
undirected interest.
Ideas abound; but these are not
supported sufficiently by illustration
and incident. The ideas themselves
are-subtle and interesting, but usually
expressed with disproportionate so-
phistication of vocabulary, and some-
times inaccurately and ambiguously.
In the interest of the reader, the
styles should be more simplified as
well as more polished.
Miss Wright’s editorial is of im-
mediate importance; its: fundamental
idea is provocative; but it seems un-
necessarily difficult, to follow.
trouble is not with the obscurity of
mi>the idea, “but with grammatical and
stylistic faults. Her images and meta-
phors are occasionally inconsistent,
and she sometimes leaves out anec-
__dotes or confuses a figure of speech |
_by.a not quite accurate use of .in-}
dividual words. :
Miss Wheeler’s style has a trans-
pareycy which is appealing. By her
ae into, the scheme. ot Henry
The
James’ ase, and the perfect adapta-
tion of her own writing to criticism
of his particular form, she achieves
practically perfect unity of ideas and
expression... The. simplicity --of ap-
proach which this implies is pleasing,
because complete understanding’ of the
author’s personality compensates for
the almost complete subjection of the
¢ritic’s personality. Unadorneg ideas
are absorbing enough to maintain
progress of interest,
Edith Rose’s poem shows sympathy,
with the metaphysical method; but
the last verse does not carry implica-
tions of emotion sudden enough to give
its imagery strength. Jean Lam-
son’s poem is an example of intellec-.
tual inspiration insufficiently vulgar-
ized for the reader’s satisfaction.
The idea in Night Piece could be
emotionally compelling if it were built
up more at the beginning and given
more meaning in terms of plot—com-
ing as it does, it seems rather anti-
climactic because not completely real-
ized.
Jean Morrill has used the ‘takes.
ine Mansfield method with an even
touch; but in her work again, we find
the implications of relationship be-
tween the characters too vague.

°37 and °38 Councils
Have Joint Meeting
Cum Laude Degree, in General
Opinion, Bears No Specific
Significance
MEAL EXCHANGE PLANS
President’s House, May 13,—After
a supper the combined College Coun-
cils of the Classes of ’37 and ’38
met for the last time this year. The
discussion .was unusually long and
varied, on such subjects.as the value
of general and spetial- honors with
the degree and the possibility of hav-
ing class and club accounts audited.
The Council had spoken at the last
meeting about the meaning of degrees
cum laude and with distinction in a
certain subject. Miss» Park pointed
out that a cum laude has no specific
significance other than the fact that
the student’s work has been of-a cer-
tain average excellence. In a college
as small as Bryn Mawr, the B.A. de-
gree by itself should signify at least
as much. Miss Park showed the
Council a summary of the records of
all classes graduated since general
honors were established, showing that
the percent receiving cum laude or
better, had gradually risen until in;
1985:"they represented’ 57 per cent
of the class. Mrs. Manning explained
that various factors cantribute to the
enlarging of ‘this number. College
work has become.increasinglyconcen-
students ‘are not only better fitted to
do good work, but are required to
maintain a certain average. Therefore,
inevitably the departments have to
recognize this by giving higher ‘marks.
There also are more students enter-
ing college with good schoot prepara-
tion. “Miss Park said that aceord-
ing to the results of a _ faculty
questionnaire, 33 approved of general
.honors, 32 disapproved, and six were
indifferent. Fifty-seven faculty mem-
bers approved of the degree with dis-
tinction in the major subject, nine dis-
approved and ~five _ were indifferent.
Most of the members of the Council
felt that since students taking honors
must have a certain high average in
all courses, the degree with distinction
has more specific meaning than any
other kind: The new Comprehensivé
system gives the departments the op-
portunity to integrate major work
even more, and honors work,in. differ-
ent ‘Subjects can be more accurately
estimated’ comparatively.

orary title of “class poet” which meant
that she recited a poem of her own
composition at commencement exer-
cises. As the poem was only two
stanzas long, the ordeal was _ brief,
but none the less acutely embarrass-
ing.
Miss Lyle entered college at 16 on
the New England Regional Scholar-
ship, which she has held ever since
in addition to the Sheelah Kilroy
Scholarship and the Brook Hall Me-
morial Scholarship. She has consid-
ered majoring in many subjects, but
technically her major has always been
English. Her average is now 92.097
She was elected to the editorial board
of The College News in her freshman
year, to that of The! Lantern in her
sophomore yea, and was also an ed-
itor of the 1987: yearbook.
Apart from Wavaty pursuits,
headed the committee for the Summer
School which she helped run last sum-
mer. Miss Lyle feels that there is a
great deal to be learned fygm its meth-
ods of teaching and that the college
would profit by a more direct contact
with the organization. Rather than
use their lecture-system, they encour-
age the girls to talk themselves, thus
relating their personal experience to
‘the courses which they are studying:
As these’ are generally connected with
economics, the system is more appli-
cable to Summer School students than
it would be to regular college stu-
dents, but she thinks it is unfortunate
that Bryn Mawr girls have practically
no opportunity to learn by attempting
to express théir own ideas.
“As regards the two principal. issues
concerning. this year’s senior class,
Miss Lyle. only aEproves with reserva-
tions, of last year’s May-day and the
system of comprehensive examinations.
While big’ May-day is a splendid-idea
in itself; and while the actual event
is fun, she feels that it has become
too “big.” As she works slowly, the
preparation consumed too much of her
time. In the same way,ysshe considers
the comprehensives excl in theory,
but thinks that.the time element was
not given enough consideration. |
\ A comprehensive’ amounts to the
same thing as a .unit course except
that only two weeks in the middle of
the yéar are devoted to it. This
problem might be partially solved if
students, particularly those majoring
in English, began to prepare for com-
prehensives during their junior or
even sophomore years, and if seniors

REUNION HELD HERE. ~“
OF THIRTEEN CLASSES
Thirteen classes, ranging from that
of ’91 to ’36, returned to College for
a five day reunion. These meet-
ings are not arranged chronologically
but according to a Dix plan which
mysteriously contrives to block classes |
so that groups return who have been
in college simultaneously. Exception
was taken to this precedent by the
ninety-seveners who determined to
celebrate their Fortieth ‘Anniversary
by a luncheon held Monday in the
Deanery, although they were not
scheduled to meet. The Deanery,
where many of the, activities took
place, acquired f e occasion a
screen decorated with, pictures of

collected by the pre-war Trophy Club
and lately resurrected from a dim cor-
ner of Pembroke.

This college, however, feels that it is particularly indebted to Mr.
King. His freshman course in English diction has been familiar to
two generations of undergraduates, and, in directing the productions
of six May Days, he has played an important part in the development
of the great tradition. Until his very recent retirement, his connection
with Bryn Mawr has not only been of the closest, but also of the most
rewarding character.
United They Stood
The particular contribution of the class _of nineteen thirty-seven
has not been-in the realms of scholarship, although there are several
quite brilliant members.
More significantly, as a class, they have shown
a_particular kind of public-spiritedness and devotion to the College.
During the May Day year, the Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration, and
the trial year for the Comprehensives, they have had opportunity to
display their active interest in Bryn Mawr’s
fortune,
The usual practice is to congratulate the eraduating class on thaty
record and on the successful completign of college life.
But it is partly
- because we believe that the class of thirty-seven is a remarkable one,
_that we do not only do this.
As a class, their career is ended, and never
again will they have an 6pportunity to display that group cooperative-
ness which has been their special talent.
In the future we must regard
‘them as individuals, and hope that the experience they’ have’ had as
members of a college community will be “of some value to them in their
utterly different future environments.
As college students their open-
“mindedness has been a virtue, they have been admirably susceptible
to liberal education, and have taught themselves discrimination as part
of the absorption of unrelated facts.

But the college itself can never know
how these people will edntinue as personalities, nor carf it accept credit
for more than their intellectual activity. If they fulfill our hopes as
v individuals, then, Bryn Mawr will never be benefited directly.
We
can congratulate the college that thirty-seven has been one of its most
successful classes; we can congratulate the class ‘itself for beitig what
it has. been; but we recognize that from now on it cannot realize its
potentialities as a group, but each member must proceed individually

Miss Park Announces iti Chapel
Alterations in Next Year’s
: Faculty ,
MISS G. G. KING RETIRES
Goodhart Hall, May 14.—-Miss Park
opened the last chapel of the year by
reading the extract from the Senate
ules concerning examinations. She
then mentioned the recent . Mount
Holyoke Centennary celebrations
which she, Dean Manning, and Mrs.
Anna Pell-Wheeler attended. One of
the greatest of Bryn, Mawr’s many
ties with Mount Holyoke, Miss’ Park
said, is her achievement of that free-
dom for women in all activities which
Mary Lyons, president of, Mount Holy-
as’ time, so desired.
Miss Park expressed pride in Bryn
Mawr’s attainment of the spirit of
free and equal opportunity at college,
but deplored the fact that after
graduation many do not try to main-
tain this freedom. She stressed their
duty “to be as responsible, as self-
reliant, with as professional an atti-
tude as any Grade A man” and to de-
mand the same high standard of other
women.
With her Fiftieth Anniversary last
year, Bryn Mawr left an era. The
upper classes, who saw the gathering
of the oldest graduates may haye
gathered some idea of the old Bryn
Mawr. Signs of the new are visible
in such thin’s as the-new workshop
theater which will be completed by
next fall. -Coming experiments must
cause a period of adaptation after
temporary disappointments. In this
task the class of 1937 will be greatly
missed. As‘a group, they have been
“remarkable for their good sense, and
their ability ‘to cope with difficult situ-
ations, to adjust misunderstanding,”
Miss Park announced the following
changes in the faculty for. next year:
Miss Georgiana King, who has been
on the faculty longer than any other
person, is retiring permanently. She
has been a member: of the English,
Philosophy and finally History of Art
departments. In all, said Miss Park,
she was “brilliant and hardworking,
and trained others to a mature and
civilized point of view.” The History
of Art department will continue next
year with no other additions or
changes.
Mr. William oiask from Goluuibia;
will take over diction instruction. He
will make recordings of the freshmen
voices on entrance and throughout the
year.
By a recent gift, Mr. David H. Ten-
nent, Professor of Biology 1912-1988
will be able to retire ‘from teaching
and devote himself to research in his
own laboratory.
Mrs. Helen Taft Manning will
leave on a sabbatical year to work on
a book. Her place as Dean will. be
taken by Miss. Julia. Ward, who is to
continue working with the freshmen,
and by Miss Dorothy Walsh, who is
to advise students in -the higher
classes.
Mr. Edward Watsos, of the Geology
departmént, and Mr. Milton C. Nahm,
Philosophy department, will return
from sabbatical leaves. Mr. Paul
Weiss and Mrs. Grace de Laguna, also
of the Philosophy department, are to
be away next year. Miss Walsh, Mr.
Nahm and Mr. D. T. Veltman will
teach requiréd Philosophy. The Logic
course will be given by Mr. Henry
Bradford Smith of the University of
Pennsylvania. —
Mr. William Lewis Doyle, of Johns

has been appointed to the Biology
department. His field is Bio-Chem-
istry and Bio-Physics.

LINGUISTIC AUTHORITY,
MRS. EVA _ FIESEL, S
Miss Lily Ross Taylor, Professor
of Latin at Bryn Mawr and Acting
Dean of the Graduate School, made
the following statement in connection
with Mrs. EVa Fiesel’s death:
“Bryn. Mawr College welcomed in
Dr. Fiesel, a scholar of, international
reputation who could offer opportuni-
ties for study and research in a field
not represented at any other gradu-
ate school in America. The interest
aroused by Dr. Fiesel’s course in the
Etruscan _Language~-is shown by. the
fact that it was attended not only
by graduate students but. by members
of the departments of Latin and Clas-
from the University of Pennsylvania
and from Haverford College. Dr.
Fiesel-possessed the imagination and
the open-mindedness required to grap-
ple with an unknown-language,-and it
was a- revealing experience to see
her at work on material which has
baffled scholars for centuries, Al-
though her great book is unfinished,
she has left in her published and un-
published papers contributions of
great importance for the solution of
the Etruscan problem. _
Dr. Fiesel was not less great as a
teacher than as a scholar. The stu-
dents in her course in ‘Comparative
Grammar remember vividly not only
the regular meetings of the course but
the special sessions for - discussions
held at her house. Her. interest in
her students continued throughout her
serious illness, and after she left Bryn
Mawr she-had-a-conference with one
of them who had begun: a dissertation
under her guidance. When I saw
her in the hospital a month ago, she
‘was much more concerned with their
welfare and their progress than with
her own critical condition.
But Dr. Fiesel’s contribution to the
graduate school went beyond the field
of her own special work. She was a
person of wide interests and remark-
able breadth of culture. The part
which she took in the conferences on
General Linguistic Theory conducted
by the Department of Philosophy last
winter showed how much she had to
give to the intellectual life of the
college.”
Mrs. Eva Fiesel, a world authority
guages, died on Thursday at the élose
of her first year as visiting Professor
of Linguistics at Bryn Mawr College
under a three year appointment. She
had lectured at the University of Mu-
nich until her dismissal in 1933 be-
cause of Jewish ancestry. She spent
the following year studying inscrip-
tions in various Italian museums and
came to-this country in 1934 as re-
search assistant in Etruscan at Yale,
where she remained until last year.
In connection with Etruscan lin-
guistics, Mrs. Fiesel was particularly
interested in the origin of the Latin
alphabet. While in this country, she
examined inscriptions at museums in
Philadelphia and New York and es-
tablished reliable evidence that. the
Latin alphabet was evolved from that
of the Italian Greeks rather than from
that of the southern Etruscans.
A thoroughly trained Indo-Euro-
pean philologist as well as a linguistic
expert, she had studied the languages
of Asia Minor with particular atten-
tion and was familiar with present-
day research on the subject.

| Me. Samuel A. King Dies
. In Palo’ Alto, California
Streptococcic Infection Was Followed
by Pneumonia
Mr. Samuel Arthur King, Non-
resident Lecturer in English at Bryn
Mawr College from 1907 to 1937, died
May 30th, at Palo Alto, California,
after a long illness resulting from
pneumonia. He was born in 1872 and
received his M.A. from the Univer-
sity of London in 1900. The follow-
ing year he was ‘special lecturer in
public speaking at Johns Hopkins
University, and special lecturer in
speech at the University, Califor-
nia in 1902.
Connected with Bryn Mawr College
since 1902, he directed the plays for
six Big May Days beginning in 1910
and continuing through 1932. When
the Folger Shakespearean Library
was opened in Washington, D. C,, Mr.
King gave the first lectufe there on
Shakespeare’s Hamlet. e was also
associated for several years with the
Curtis Institute. of Mugie in Philadel-
phia.
After coming to Bryn Mawr, he
married Mary Anderson. Four chil-
dren survive: Mary Agnes, a Senior
at Léland Stanford University; Nor&
Joan, who also,attended Leland Stan-
ford; Samuel Arthur, Jr., a student
at Episcopal Academy; Elaine, who is
at the Shipley School in Bryn Mawr.
Mr. King went. to California in the
Spring. While there he developed
streptococcus of the throat and later
contracted pneumonia. Mrs. King
flew to California when his condition
became serious. Some signs of recov-
ery were evident and it was thought
he was past danger, but a relapse
occurred several days ago.

H. Cykman’ Retains Handel’s
Power in Prayer from ‘Te Deum’
The Deanery,
most child prodigies whose mechanical
capabilities usually outstrip, . their
artistic understanding, Harry Cyk-
man seems to know exactly what he
wants to express with his violin, and
on the whole, achieves his aims with
technical success. In a _ well-known
program of Purcell, Bach, Pugnani,
Mendelssohn, Handel, Paganini and
Saint-Saens, he seemed completely at
his ease and a master of the musical
situation.
Particularly delightful was his
interpretation of the Mendelssohn
Concerto. in E minor, which started
off rather weakly, gaining force and
beauty after the cadenza. In this
work he displayed real excellence of
tone as well ral into the char-
acter of the music. This was true
also .of the Handel-Flesch Prayer
from ‘Te Deum’ in which he managed
to retain all the simple power of
Handel at his best. Less fortunate,
perhaps, was the Caprice 24 of Paga-
nini, in which Cykman appeared too
absorbed in technical intricacies—to
achieve musical continuity and finish.
The most striking adverse criticism
to be made of Harry Cykman is
inconsistency. He did not seem able
to remain for any length of time at
his own standard of excellence. This
can; of course, be attributed to his
youth, but judged in the light of the
best professional playing, he was too
erratic to be an excellent performer.
In this recital, he was laboring under
two difficulties—an accompanist who
did not do him justice, and the fact
that his program was so well known,
and has been so well handled by others
within the experience of the audience,
that it was difficult to resist the, temp-
tation of measuring him. with the
great violinists of our time. On the
whole, however, he met these diffi-
culties successfully, and gave a _per-
formance marked by poise, technical
capability and artistic beauty.

Is Product of Progressive.

MAJORS IN PHILOSOPHY
Leigh Steinhardt, alternate for the
European Fellowship this year, was
the Charles S. Hinchman Memorial
Scholar for 1986-37. She is. doing
honors work in Philosophy and her
average is 90.097. Next year she
plans to start in on a three year
drive for a Ph.D. at Radcliffe, skip-
ping an M.A. degree, with teaching
as a possible future.
To begin with, Miss Steinhardt was
born in New York in 1917, and.though
admittedly a normal child, displayed
abnormal tendencies:through the early
part of her school career. She went
to kindergarten at the. Dalton Pro-
gressive School at the age of four,
did two years’ work in one, skipped}
the next year in no time at all, and
entered the fourth grade at five.
Three years passed, still in the con-
fines of the fourth grade, while Miss
Steinhardt struggled for the mastery
of French, a tongue which was later
to boost her to fame. It seemed to be
a case of permanent fixation. When
won a spelling bee, and was rewarded
by a prize of three dollars.. It was
graded, however, according to age,
and being very young, it was her
privilege. to spell prejudice “predu-
dice” and still emerge victorious.
A progressive school tended to make
Miss Steinhardt “nasty and bratty,”
and in 1926 she Was transferred to
the Horace Mann School for Givts,
where she was put back a year be-
cause “she was a year ahead.” For
a time she did nothing but mathema-
tics. Then force of circumstances
sent her to the Chateau Brillantmont
in Lausanne for the ninth grade; as
usual she--was the youngest in the
school and was thereby made acutely
uncomfortable.-
But her experience in Switeerland
won her an Alliance Francaise medal
her senior year at Horace Mann, a
“great, heavy, thing,” given for ex-
cellence in French. She also shared
highest scholastic honors with one
other person, and was Editor-in-Chief
of the school magazine.
Miss Steinhardt came to college at
16 and is graduating at.20. She be-
gan by majoring in English, but was
converted to Philosophy by the first-
year course her sophomoré year. She
was on the committee of three: run-
ing the Philosophy Club in 1935-36,
was president of it this year, and has
been on The Lantern for two years.
thletically, she is not inclined; she
as avoided as far as possible major
and minor forms of sport. Perhaps
this explains her part as an angel in
The Creation in May Day. She did
not disapprove so much of being an
angel as of May Day in general. It
is more work.than itis worth, she
thinks, and should be worked out like
the Gilbert and Sullivan performance
to take a reasonable amount. of time.
No one could be a better judge than
she of the reasonable length of time
demanded by Glee ~Club- productions;
she was part prompter. in both The
Pirates of Peuzayce and this year’s
Mikado. Too
Another bone of contention among
seniors is Comprehensives. Miss
Steinhardt sees no point in them; she
thinks they ‘should be given directly4

time to do honors reports and get.

Of Seniors on
Steady Downpour Saar Speeches
Last Day of Classes
May 14.—Steady sali fittingly ac-
companied the speeches and songs of
the seniors’ farewell to the campus
on the Last Day of Classes. The
speakers attacked their special de-
partments. with thoroughly ° formed
opinions, and. the class as a whole
bid the faculty a doleful adieu.
Miss Winifred Safford, the first ora-
tor, spoke in Taylor and of it. She
recalled her experiences there as a
monitor, in which office she ‘heard a
philosophical voice from beneath a
desk talking of a vegetable soul, an-
other voice from the “Black Hole of
Calcutta” invoking beauty of line, a
beard reminiscing scenes in the life
of Lady Godiva; all these and more
she heard daily: It is hard, she
assures “us, to leave these dear accus-
tomed things.
Huddled against the, wall on the
Dalton stairs, Anne Roberts let bit-
terness prevail, noble bitterness born
of suffering. Physics left her with
an “Achilles-tortoise complex,”» and
spots before the eyes. General de-
bility was unavoidable when she found
that her partners in the experiments
thought up the answers faster than
she could copy them down. It result-
ed in a terrible yearning for anything
not physics; -so, ‘she warns,- be sure
what the Dean means when she says,
“Physics?”
Elizabeth Holzworth was more than
bitter, she was vindictive. Let us
quote from her vitriolic words: “I
suppose the most fitting kind of
Mrs. Wootten Favors
Social Economy Major
“Kept on the Run,” Found Visit
“Passed Like a Flash”
With the charm that has won her
so many instantaneous friends, Mrs.
Barbara Wootton, in an_ interview
shortly before her departure, ex-
pressed her regrets that she had not
seen more of the campus, nor become
better acquainted with the students.
Yet “well informed” graduate students
and “attractive” undergraduates “kept
her on the run” and ~~ made
her visit “pass like a flash.”
Her opinion on the then pending
social economy major was most en-
lightening. Being a_socio-economist
herself, she naturally favored the
projects. “But,” she went on, “I am
all for anything that puts reality into
undergraduate economics. The two
must be linked together. Social econ-
omy courses are offered in the under-
gratludte departments in England, ex-
cellently suited for the students, and,
moreover, are taken by a great num-
ber of them.” Mrs. Wootton’s ‘new
book, appearing in the fall, will be
called Lament for Economies-and deals
primarily with this problem of a closer
correlation between economic _—
and actualities.
“And what was your impression of
the ‘so-called Bryn Mawr sloppiness,”
was the next question, getting back to
the inconsequential. “So-called,” was
the emphatic reply. She felt on
the whole that the appearance of
the girls was most attractive. The
college atmosphere, she found, was
similar to that in England, although
possibly younger. College girls abroad
are older whén they enter, and it is a
well-established fact that the boys of
college age abroad are generally more
\mature and stable. The rah-rah spir-
it is not found on their campusés.
Her plans for future visits to Amer-
ica are indefinite. But after.a week of
“contemplation on a farm in Connecti-
cut” she is returning to» England to
plan her next trip to’ the United
States. ?

a speech for a gymnasium would be
a pep talk; but never let it be said
that I promoted this den of iniquity.”
In Body Mechanics she learned three
useful words “Don’t. walk, walk.” In ..
tennis she learned to love the yellow ~
flag forbidding use of the courts, in
swimming to avoid the uncandid cam-
eraman from Fortune who-tried to
snap her on her maiden voyage into
the pool.
When May Day came she was de-
moted from folk dancing to sewing
costumes in the cellar while others
danced on the Green. Now as others
file in to graduate she fears she will
be “Running up the line in a bath- .
ing suit, with a hockey stick in one
hand and a tennis racquet in the other,
making up three seasons at once.”
“My friends,” the fourth speaker,
Elizabeth Ann Stainton, began, “the
Library is a dear, hallowed place, a
place of sweet affinity.” She entered
it just once her freshman year, after
that “Cook’s” tour on which all fresh-
men are taken, and therein wrote a
poem, a lovély thing called Storm!!!
Reading it in a_ bell-like voice,
she gave the whole a new -signifi-
cance (aided by interpolations by Mrs.
King) :
“There gleefully scratches a spark or
two
From lightening’s steel eneased side.”
: (Note: You don’t say!)
“The wise’ old man is hidden. now;
He always knows where it is safe to .
stay.
But the gay young stars, still pranc-
ing about,
Have most of their brightness washed
away.”
(Note: I don’t blame them—this
would wash away almost anything.
It leaves me limp.)
Miss Stainton’s’ relations with the
Library “from that time on were
slight.’ “It is,” she affirms, “a place
you must take or leave alone, There
is no middle way.”

berly presented the emblems of the

Average of 88.837
~~ Louise Atherton Dickey, the second
alternate European fellow, had a sin-
gularly unacademic preparation for
college. Up to her thirteenth year
she enjoyed the freedom of the pro-
In 1927 she went
to school for the first time in Switzer-
land. Before that she had’ learned
how to read from her family while
living on their farm in Oxford, Penn-
sylvania; se also learned German
from a German refigee. In 1931 at
the Swiss school she failed five col-
lege boards, but surmounted these diffi-
culties after a year at the Misses Kirk
School in Bryn Mawr.
Miss Dickey has spent three sum-
mers doing special work; at the Uni-
versity of Lausanne in 1931, at the
University of Heidelberg in 1935 and
under Dr. Dinsmore at Columbia in
1936. In college her outside activi-
ties included League work and mem-
bership in’Glee Club for one year. She
took Archaeology, her major subject,
for the’ first time in her Sophomore
year and kept up with her German
by taking first year German literature
which is “very important for archaeo-
logical purposes.”
In the dragon costume Miss Dickey
found her personal experiences in May
Day “agonizing,” which is not surpris-
ing considering that her suit weighed
87% pounds without the head. As
for May Day in general she feels that
it is too valuable to the college to
be ‘given up, but that it would be an
injustice to the students to go on
making it bigger and better. Compre-
hensives she thinks are “a good idea”
but that they have “worked out badly
for this class,” Miss Dickey is re-
- turning to Bryn Mawr next year to
~
continue in her chosen field, and her
‘greatest ambition is to go to Athens

have shown great interest in the con-
test. ..Last year twenty-eight young
women competing for the Prix de
Paris found employment through
Vogue’s recommendation.”
“Vogue’s Prix de Paris was first
announced in October, 1935, as an en-
couragement to college women who
wished to make careers in the field of

Mary H. Hutchings, ’37
Wins Concours Oratoire
Speeches Concern French Rooms in
Philadelphia Museum
Common Room, May 13.—Miss Mar-
garet Gilman opened ‘the Concours
Oratoire organized by the French de-
partment, with a few words of ex-
planation, an acknowledgement of the:
generosity of. the alliance’ France-
Amerique who had given the medal
and an introductionyof the presiding
judges, M. Maurice Faivre d’Arcier,
French vice-consul in Philadelphia,
Mrs. J. Stodgell Stokes, who is a Bryn
Mawr graduate and wife of the presi-
dent of the museum of Philadelphia
and Professor Edwin C. Byam, ‘of the
University of Delaware. The three
candidates, who had been selected at
a preliminary tryout, . Margaret
Houck, ’37, Mary Hinckley Hutchings,
37, and Grace Dolowitz, 739, then each
gave an original speech on the given
subject, the new French rooms in the
Philadelphia Museum of Art.
After considerable delay, the judges
returned and M. d’Arciet expressed
their_opinions. in an extremely witty
speech. Taking due consideration of
the scholarly form of Miss Houck’s
treatment, the charm of Miss Dolo-
witz’ personal approach and _ the
purity of her French, they had finally
decided to award the medal to Miss
Hutchings, both on account of the
value of her subject matter and the
ease of her presentation.

SQUASH COURT FUND
BEGUN BY FATHERS
The ‘squash courts, long a part of
the expansion. program of the college,
have at last become a potential real-
ity. A fund for their construction
was started recently when a letter
signed by Mrs. Collins, Miss Petts
and Mildred Bakewell, President of
the Athletic Association, went to the
father of every “undergraduate.- The
letter gave each parent an opportun-
ity to contribute something, however
little, to the permanent equipment of
the college. When the courts are
built a plaque will be attached nam-
ing the donors as the fathers of those
undergraduates who were in college in
the year 1937. .
The plan for raising the money for
the courts was devised by Mrs. Col-
lins, who received her inspiration from
a similar plan used at Princeton while
her son was an undergraduate there.
At that time a Mother’s -Fund. was
raised to use for improving the equip-
ment of the health department of the
college.

world in which their pupils and stu-
dents were destined to pass: their
lives, -
too streng’ and whether there would be
sufficient opportunity for a full life
if the world were emptied of some of
sometimes wonder
the useless things that give it sig-
nificance; in other words, whether our
conception of what. is useful may not
have become too’ narrow to be ade-
quate to the roaming and, if you will,
capricious possibilities of the human
spirit.
We may look at this question from
two points of view: the scientific ‘and
the humanistic or spiritual. Let us
take-the scientific first. I recall a
conversation which.I had some years
ago with Mr. George Eastman on the
subject of us¢. Mr.
and gentle, far-seeing man, gifted with
exquisite taste in musi¢ and art, had
been saying to me that he meant to
devote his vast fortune to the promo-
tion of education in useful subjects.
I ventured to ask him whom ‘he -re-
garded as the most useful worker in
science in the world. He replied in-
stantaneously: “Marconi.” I sur-
prised him by saying:
“Whatever pleasure we derive
from the radio or however wireless
and the radio may have added to
human life, Marconi’s share was
practically negligible.”
I shall not forget his astonishment
on this occasion. He dsked me to ex-
plain.. I replied to him:
‘Mr. Eastman, Marconi was in-
evitable. The real credit for every-
thing. that has been done in the field
of wireless belongs, as far as such
fundamental creditycan be definitely
assigned to anyone, to Professor
Clerk Maxwell, who in 1865 carried
out certain abstruse..and remote
calculations in the field of magnet-
ism and electricity. Maxwell re-
produced his abstract equations. in
a treatise published in 1873. At the
next meeting of the British Associa-
tion Professor H. J.°S. Smith, of
Oxford, declared that “nosmathema-
ticianecan turn over the pages of
these volumes without realizing
that they contain a theory which
has already- added largely to the
methods and _ resources’ of pure
_jmathematics.” Other discoveries
supplemented Maxwell’s theoretical
work during the next fifteen years.
Finally in 1887 and 1888 the sci-
entific problem still remaining—the
detection and demonstration of the
electromagnetic waves which are
the carriers of wireless signals—
was solved by Heinrich Hertz, a
worker in Helmholtz’s laboratory .in
Berlin. Neither Maxwell nor Hertz
had any concern about the utility
of their work: no such thought ever
entered their minds. .They had. no
practical objective. The inventor
in the legal sense was, of course,
Marconi, but what did Marconi in-
vent? Merely ‘the last , technical
detail, mainly the now obsolete re-
ceiving device called coherer, almost
universally discarded,’
Hertz and Maxwell could invent
nothing, but it was _ their useless
theoretical work which was _ seized
upon by a clever technician and which
has created new méans for communi-
cation, utility, and amusement hy
which men whose merits are relatively
slight have obtained fame and earned
’ millions. Who were the useful men?
Not Marconi, but Clerk Maxwell and
Heinrich Hertz. Hertz and Maxwell
were geniuses without thought of use.
. Marconi was a clever inventor with
no thought but use... .
Again—and I am not a mathema-
tician, so I must not. be asked to ex-
plain the terms I.use—what is known
now as “group theory” .was an ab-
tract and inapplicable mathematical
_ theory. It was developed by’men who
‘were curious and‘ whose curiosity led| ¢
them into strange paths; but “group
hoe aed the basis of the quan-
‘tum theo 0: Spectroscopy, “which is
in daily use by people who have~no}
idea a& to how it came about.
‘The. whole calculus of probability
was discovered by mathematicians
whose. real interest .was the rational-
ization of gambling. It has failed of
the. practical purpose which they: de-
signed for it, but it has furnished a
scientific basis for all types~ of insur-
Feit : -.
- i as
Eastman, a wise’
century -physics.are.based upon it...
. I am not for a moment suggest-
ing that everything that goes on in lab-
oratories will ultimately turn to some
unexpected practical use or that..an
ultimate practical use is its actual
justification. Much more am I plead-
ing for the abolition of the word
“use,” and for the freeing of the hu-
man spirit. To be sure, we will thus
free some harmless cranks. To be
sure, we will thus waste some precious
dollars, but what is _infinitely more
important is the fact that we will be
striking the shackles off the human
mind and setting at free for’ the ad-
ventures which in our own day have
taken Hale and Rutherfoed arid Ein-
stein: and their peers millions upon
millions of .miles into the uttermost
realms of space and loosed the bound-
Jess energy imprisoned in, the atom,
What Rutherford and others like
Bohr and Millikan have done out. of
sheer curiosity in the effort to under-
stand the construction of the atom
has released forces which may trans-
form human life, but this ultimate
and unforeseen and unpredictable
practical result is not offered aS a
justification for Rutherford or Ein-
stein-or Millikan or Bohr or any of
their peers. Let them ‘alone. No
educational administrator can possi-
bly direct the channels in which these
or other men shall work. The waste,
I admit again, looks prodigious. It
is not really so. All the waste -that
could be summed up in developing the
science of bacteriology is as nothing
compared to the advantages which
have accrued from the discoveries of
Pasteur, Koch, Ehrlich, Theobald
Smith, and scores of others—advan-
tages that, could never have acgrued
if the idea of possible use had per-
meated their minds, These great
artists, scientists and bacteriologists,
disseminated the spirit which pre-
vailed in laboratories in which for all
they and others knew they were sim-
ply following the line of their own
natural curiosity... .”
Over a period of one or two hun-
dred years the contributions of pro-
fessional schools to their respective
activities will probably be found to
lie not so much in the training of men
who may tomorrow become practical
engineers or practical-lawyers or
practical doctors but in the fact that
even in the’ pursuit of strictly prae-
tical aims an enormous amount of ap-
parently useless activity goes on, and
out of this useless activity thqre are
likely to come discoveries which may
well prove of infinitely more import-
ance to the human mind and to the
human spirit -than the * accomplish-
ment of the useful ends for which
they were founded.
Clearly I cannot now touch at every
point upon the importance of spiritual
and intellectual freedom. I have
spoken of science; I have spoken of
mathematics, but what I say is equally
trué of music and. art and of every
other. expression of. the untrammeled
human spirit.. The- mere fact that
they bring satisfaction to an. indi-
vidual soul bent upon its own purifica-
tion and elevation is all the justifica-
tion that they need. And in justify-
ing these without any reference what-
soever to usefulness we justify. col-
leges, universities, and institutes of
research. An _ institution like this
college, which thas set free successive
generations of human souls, is amply
justified whether this graduate or
that makes a so-called useful contribu-
tion to. human knowledge or not.

College Drive to Aid
Spanish War Relief
Undergraduates Will Cooperate
With Friends’ Committee
To Buy Food
$10,000 IS SUM NEEDED
(Especially contributed by the Com-
mittee for the Relief of Spanish Refu-
gees.)
A group of graduate and under-
graduate students held a meeting on
May 9 to discuss the possibility of
organizing a drive in the College to
aid Spanish refugee children. The
Spanish Child Feeding Mission of the
American Friends’ Service Committee
interested the group both because of
the effective work done by the Friends :
in the past and because of the non-
partisan character of their plans for
relief in Loyalist and Rebel territory.
The confidence which any Bryn Mawr
group naturally feels in the work of
the Friends is strengthened by the
fact that Dr. Rufus Jones is chairman
of the American Friends’ Service
Committee. Miss Emma Cadbyry,
they may become tools of those who
believe in a special political, economic,
or racial creed. Now and then a
thoughtless individual in one of the
few democracies left in this world will
even question the fundamental im-
portance of absolutely untrammeled
academic freedom. The real enemy
of the human race is not the fearless
and irresponsible thinker, be he right
or wrong. The real enemy is the man
who tries to mould the human spirit
so that it will not dare to spreqd its
wings as its wing's were once spread in
Italy, Germany, Great Britain and
the United States.
1897, Secretary of the Friends’ Inter-
national Center in Vienna, has re-
cently gone to Spain to aid in’ the
organization of relief.
. After consultation with the Presj-
dent, it was decided that the students
could not undertake the task of col-
lecting money in the last week of
classes. The interest already aroused
in the College has prepared the way |:
for effective work next fall. Mean-
while, the Friends’ Service Commit-
tee needs $10,000 to carry on its work
with. refugee children through the
summer. To aid in securing this fund,
Dean Helen Taft Manning has con-
sented to act as- chairman of a com-
mittee consisting of the following
members: President ‘Marion Edwards
Park, Gertrude Ely, 1899, Margaret
Reeve Cary, 1907, Mary Sweeney, can-
didate for the Ph.D. and for years
associated, with the International In-
stitute for Girls in Spain, Martha Van
Hoesen, 1939, Professor Lily “ Ross

Greenebaum and’ Hodee Waldstein,
graduate students, haye been ap-
pointed as a subcommittee to take
charge of collecting clothing.
Money contributions may be sent
to Lily Ross_Taylor, Treasurer, Bryn
Mawr College, Bryn Mawr, Pennsyl-
vaniqa. Clothes for children, especially
good used clothes for boys, are much
needed. Such gifts may.be given to
