As Second Alternate

Third Choice for Fellowship Has
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

as a member of a dig.

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.
