Of Study

Goodhart, May 26.—Last Mon-
day Miss Park announced that the



‘Red Cross will sponsor a training

school for nurses, open from June
26 to September 12, on the campus.
Operating in -collaboration with
Bryn Mawr and with the Woman’s
Medical College of Pennsylvania,
the school will enable two hundred
college graduates to complete their

training for a nurse’s certificate in.

less than the usual three years.

The students will live in Rocke-
feller and Rhoads, and will have
classes in Taylor. ‘They will use
the laboratories of the Woman’s
Medical College in Germantown.

The curriculum will be decided
by a committee of which Miss Mar-
garet E. Conrad, Dean of the
School, will be chairman. Miss
Gardiner will represent Bryn Mawr
on the committee.

With the three months of inten-
sive theoretical work at this school,
a girl will probably be allowed to
qualify as a military nurse after
one year of practical work in a
regular school, and she may re-
ceive. her full nurse’s certificate
after two years. Definite details
have not-yet been worked out.She
will, however, be required to take
at least one year of practical work.

The school, it is hoped, will be
similar to the one established at
Vassar in 1917. The idea was

suggested to Mrs. Chadwick Collins |

by Mrs. Thomas R. White, who
graduated from the Vassar School,

Rufus Jones Speaks

To Graduating Class



Calls Attention to Necessity
Of Recognizing Permanent

Values in Life



- Goodhart, June 1.—If we are to
say one. final word about life to a
eroup of students on the point of
graduation, we must talk about the
realities which we all know are

real, Dr. Rufus M. Jones, Trustee
and Director of Bryn Mawr Col-
lege, explained in his Baccalaure-
ate sermon. “Finally, whatever is
true, whatever is good, whatever
is beautiful, form your minds on
these realities—And the peace of
God which passes all comprehen-
sion shall garrison your hearts and
minds.”

The real test of education is not
your passing mark in finals, Dr.
Jones said. The real test is your
selection of what is to direct your
thoughts, whether you have learned
to appreciate the right things.

In this time of world confusion,
certain values of life still stand
out clearly. Dr. Jones laid special
stress on the eternal realities of
beauty, goodness, truth and pure
love. These'realities are the things
by which we live, “the riches which
neither moth nor rust corrupt, nor
do thieves or depressions sweep
them away.” Now above every-
thing else we need to come back
to these simplicities, to these veri-
fiable realities of religion which
are in harmony with the truth
and the laws of life which we have
learned_in our studies. Dr. Jones
pointed out that in the supreme
battles of the soul, religion can
bring steadiness and give us an in-
ward assurance that eternal forces
are allied with us.

In the main, a person can have
what she wants on the condition
that she wants it enough and sets

her mind to it. “The resolute will

English Exam Suffers From an Evil Omen °
And Blaring Band Bothers Baby Biologists



By Alice Crowder, ’42

While the two week grind mani-
fested by the rising pile of books
on the reserve room desk and the
thickening atmosphere of quiet
smoking. rooms went on without a
slip, there were decided break-
downs in the hidden machinery of
examination. The first notice of
decline in that machinery came
when the office generously printed
the answers to one question in Mr.
Herben’s English Literature exam.
While Mr. Herben feverishly
worked to scratch. out the tell-tale
marks, Mr. Sprague was delegated
to tell the class to have no fear,
the exam would appear. It was no
ise. The fevered anxieties of fifty
odd people rose with the ticking off
of minute after minute and Tom
Jones and Moll Flanders leaked out
of overwrought brains. Twenty-
five minutes later the exam ap-
peared. -It was quickly finished.
One student, finishing an unfortu-
nate half hour early, calmly wrote
a letter to her family in a blue
book. Another, leaving twelve min-
utes’ ea¥ly, ‘whispéred ‘to’ Mr. Her-
ben in passing that she was sorry
she just didn’t know another twelve
minutes’ worth.

The Eighteenth Century English
Literature exam was lost. While
mimeograph .machines worked at
top speed turning out new ones, the
class enjoyed a pleasant chat on



Taylor steps, completing uncertain
details.

The most ominous of the mishaps
was the bird in the English Com-
prehensive room. All would have
been well if there wererno: Latin
requirement for English majors.
As it was, everyone knew the pres-
ence of the bird on the left was
extremely unfortunate. Some re-
fused to face the cold fact that it
was a bird and climbed screeching
onto chairs while the creature flut-
tered over the floor.

The whole mental equilibrium of
many was upset during the first
year geology exam by a glance at
the blackboard. There unmistak-
ably-were- inscribed the unenlight-
ening words: “Shoot the rock to me
Doc.” An equally disturbing ele-
ment was the Memorial Day parade
which broke up an_ otherwise
orderly First Year Biology exam.
Pencils and blue books were left
behind in a mad rush for the bal-
conies. Loud laments were raised
as the time drew to a close: “Oh,
give us fifteen more minutes: you
know—the parade.”

Informality characterized the ex-
amination season,from first to last.
An astonished advanced English
History class was told, “Mrs. Man-
ning forgot all about you.” And
Mr. Diez snapped close his book at
twelve o’clock: “Well, Ladies, when
you’re ready to go, I'am.”

Tea Given in Honor
Of Lady Halifax in
The Deanery Garden



Deanery, May 21.—A tea in hon-
or of Lady Halifax, wife of the
British Ambassador, was given in
the Deanery Garden on Wednes-
day afternoon, May 21. Many of
the faculty, staff, friends of the

college and about one hundred and
fifty undergraduates were received
by Lady Halifax, Miss Park, Mrs.
Chadwick-Collins and Vivi French.
Lady Halifax, who was _ intro-
duced by Miss Park, warmed Bryn
Mawr hearts by, commenting on the
resemblance of our buildings to
those_at Oxford. She discussed the
friendly relations created between
the youth of England and America
by exchange scholars, and wished
that Bryn Mawr might always re-
main “young in spirit and only
grow old in fame and tradition.”

Maids and Porters
Entertain Students





Gymnasium, May 20.—In appre-
ciation to the students who help
with maid’s classes and plays, the
maids.and porters gave a party on
Tuesday evening, May 20, in the
gym. Asan added attraction they
presented the Utopia ‘Female Chor-
us of Philadelphia.

Jeanette Holland introduced the
talented hosts and hostesses, and
Anna Kearney and Louise Simms
added words of thanks. There
were readings by Lillian Canty,
Cary Crunkleton, accompanied by
Elizabeth Jones, Minnie Newton,
Pearl Edmonds and Louis White.
Among those who sang solos were
Marjorie Draine, Mable Ross and
the incomparable Carl Smith. The
trio of Pearl Edmonds, Anna White
and Louise Simms provided an un-
expected comic element.

Poll Finds Seniors Allergic to Requireds,
Fond of Hi istory, Reading Period and College



The class of 1941 seems to be
quite a contented one. Sixty-five

out of 77, if they had to do it
over, would come to. Bryn Mawr
again; 60 would have the same
major; 65 would live in the same
hall; and 30 are planning to send
their daughters here. (Thirty-six
wisely said it would depend upon
the daughter, one future mother
admitting that unless the offspring
were brighter than she;she would
send her elsewhere.)

They also seem to be wholesome
girls, for the net gain in weight
per senior during college has been
.225 lbs., and while nine let off
steam in drink, 15 preferred ath-
letics, and one advocated “cleaning
out bureau drawers.”

Responses to questions on cur-
riculum revealed that a large per-
cent approve a _ reading period.
Twelve, however, thought that stu-
dents are not up to using one
properly. The new schedule was
favored by a smaller majority. Al-
though 43 students liked the com-
prehensive system as it is, 22 sug-
gested improvements. Some felt
the preparation for them should be
better organized with reading per-

>

iods, practice comprehensives, an
earlier start, and no papers or
quizzes in the second term. ‘Others
felt that they were too easy and

had not yet become really com-
prehensive. The honors system
was generally approved, ten girls,
however, recommending that more
people should take part in them.

Sociology had a big lead in being
thought the éasiest department in
the college, the sciences, with his-
tory as runner-up, having the ma-

dentally, the lowest marks of the

than advanced.

Public Public Opinion

Public Opinion has played an all-too-undefined part in the
information of this country’s present policy. » Yet, the Gallup
poll is one of the most quoted sources bandied about banquet tables,
Letters to the legislature and to the President have taken on an
added significance. Many a speech is termed a “balloon”? whose
purpose is to sound out public opinion. Commentators on the
President’s speech remark that the limitations to the Chief Execu-
tive’s legally ambiguous powers are merely a matter—of Public



Opinion.

It is clear that as we approach a war, theoretical separation
of powers becomes meaningless; the Executive and administrators
—military and civilian officials, Commissions and Regulatory
Boards can and must take on legislative and quasi-judicial func-
tions, unprecedented in times of peace.

Certainly the practice of organized lobbying, and individual
pressure on representatives in the legislature is inadequate here.

How can public opinion—the popular will, reach these ad-
ministering organs ? '

If the essential task of a detnocracy facing emergency is to
gear itself for effective action while maintaining freedom, lines of
communication must be kept open. Public opinion must be reg-
istered.

To protect Civil Liberties with increasing vigilance is not
enough, Attention should be turned towards devices by which the
will of the public can in some way be efficiently, swiftly and ac-
curately tested. :

It is not impossible for the Administration to turn all the avail-
able mechanical aides in swift communication and large scale tabu-
lation towards an attempt to register opinion officially. We have
gained great mechanical advantages since the inception of the ballot
as the medium through which to express the public will. New de-
vices, both mechanical and political, more frequent in occurance,
less committing than a national vote, are feasible and necessary now.



One to Every Customer



Criticism is criticism. Some, some like and some like not.
And so, feeling as we wholeheartedly do that there is a crying, a
weeping, a torrential need for good, downright criticism, the News
takes great pleasure in announcing that it has a brand new idea.
Next year, after the first play of the season, the News will open
its columns—wide open—to campus critics. We want every class
to submit a criticism, every hall to submit a criticism, and_every
girl to-submit-a criticism. The best sixty, judged by a-conimittee
of six (6) judges—non-News, of course,—will be published. The
next week we will have column after’column of letters after letters
after letters. And we know that all this freedom will produce, as
democracy in action always does, a beautiful compromise of all
parties on the subject of sweetness, light, and criticism,

looks easy, especially to observant
and discerning minds, but as a re-
sult it achieves, sometimes, a self-

conscious perfection of wording and
style which distracts attention from
the real substance of the story. Ac-
tion and human, truth are hard
to capture and therefore are often
left too much to implication or are
ignored in the belief that impres-
sicns are as memorable as human
situations. It is true that a large
number of modern stories are made
up of impressions and implications,
but it must not be forgotten that
stories with any force and appeal
derive their impression from ac-
tion, from force of character and
emotional situation, which ‘ must
underlie the implications if the sub-
stance of the story is to be really
memorable.

sThe stories in this number seem
to avoid these pitfalls with rather
more than usual success though too
great preoccupation with detail
dces hamper the beginnings of most °
of them, with the exception of “The
Demon” ' which gets forward upon
its way particularly well. Each of
the stories has its real moment.
The lack of understanding of the
girl’s parents is the best touch in
“Wait for April,” the little girl
absorbed into the music in “She
shall have Music” the old woman’s
patient acceptance of the inevitable
in “The Demon,” and the dialogue
in “The Summer” with its natural-
ness underlaid by the desperate
sense of defeat and despair. The
character study seems the best ele-
ment in “Facing the Facts,” for
the girl is convincing as the sub-
ject of tragedy and the subsequent
victory over disaster. The satire
in the Turkey story comes in an-
other category and points its moral
with precision and economy of
words as all satire should.

The poetry has both beauty and
force. “Song of the Restless” cre-
ates its atmosphere through form
and cadence and successive images,
the first line being pecularily suc-
cessful in setting the key for the
whole. The two poems by Hester
Corner seem to me to be among the ....
best of her work that the Lantern
has pulbished. It may be that this
reviewer has a weakness for poems
that successfully register the spirit
of places, but this pair do seem
particularly fine. The excellence
lies in their contrast, and, in the
first. one, in the rarely individual
conception of spring and in the
second, in the understanding of the
deeply elemental in a man’s sense
of home as something created out
of the very soil of which he is the
part; as his “shelter “traveled to
across the distances.” 'The Lantern
has had a good season. In this
number, according to one’s judg-
ment of chronology, it ends’ the
year well, or it begins auspiciously
upon a new career.

Class Day Speeches
Extol Virtues of “The
Best Freshman Show”



The last day of classes was con-
cluded, traditionally, with speeches

from four representative, not to
say typical, seniors. Peggy Squibb
opened the session from the van-
tage point of Taylor steps.

ringing tones, “was marvelous!”
Then, getting down to her subject,

by walking through and having a

‘has its own fascination, however.

pole, is anomalous.

Eileen Durning spoke with feel-
| ing at Dalton. “Our Freshman
| Show,” she shouted, “was the Best
iFreshman Show.” Chemistry, how-
lever, was a less attractive topic,

although she, after two and a half
years of participation in the First
; Year course, had gotten to know
the subject intimately. Hygiene;
ishe said, was too unattractive to
talk about.

Red Cross Sponsors
Training School for
Nurses This Summer



Continued from Page One

Medical College and the Red Cross.

The arrangement for accommo-
dating the students and faculty of
the-school-has~been especially easy
since Miss Howe, the hall managers
of Rembroke and Rockefeller, and
many of the maids have agreed to
stay at the college for the summer.

Because of the expanding na-
tional defense program, there is a
dearth of trained nurses. The es-|
tablishment of the school is a step
toward increasing the supply of
nurses available to the Army, the
Navy and the Red Cross.

Miss Park said that she felt this
use of the campus facilities, which,
since the departure of the Summer
School, have not been used during
the summer, was extremely satis-
factory. The increase in the num-
ber of trained nurses will be of
advantage in times of both peace
and war, and the college is par-
ticularly well equipped to help
produce this increase.

Norman H. Davis, head of the
American Red Cross, is honorary
chairman of the Advisory Commit-
tee, of which Miss Park is the
chairman. The school itself will
be operated by an executive com-
mittee, headed by Mrs. White, and
the administration will be super-
vised by Mrs. Chadwick Collins.
Miss Conrad, a professor at Colum-
bia and director of the School of
Nursing of the Presbyterian Hos-
pital at Columbia, will, as dean of
the school, direct its academic
activities.



brought her to the subject of the
Library. The Library, she con-
fessed, scares her. She has studied
in it only three times this year,
and then bécause there was a mouse
in her room. Particularly, the dic-
taphone depresses her. It has an
evil personality and its echo
haunts the corridors. But any
time after Comprehensives, she
said, she will be found bending over
the West Wing desk, and whisper-

from those who urge practical im-

reminiscencers.
The class of ’91 rared back seven

then and the now. Fifty years is
but a “brief span,” and fifty years
ago nobody knew what happened to
girls who went to college, but these
alumnae soon found it enjoyable,
with its row of outings, tennis on
Merion green, and “Black Maria,”

The predominance of men—quote,
“swains”’—was remarked in one
breath, the new johns in the next.
College dances didn’t exist and men
to go with them neither. Girls here
and now aren’t so stuffy as they
used to be, was the comment.
There was a time in 1910 before
the college newspaper, and before
musie existed in Bryn Mawr; -not
a piano, a victrola, not even.a flute
for the chapel was to be found, and
the lack was felt. So one Sunday,
when. Dean Thomas announced a
‘new College organ,’ everyone
gasped in hopeful anticipation.
“Yes,” said Miss Thomas, “I am
pleased to present the institution
of a College News.” The same

alumna as Self-Government head in

1910 was approached by the track
team who begged permission to
high jump on the lower hockey
field without their cumbersome long
skirts. The board met solemnly

and, after deliberation, decided that

the place was public, the occasion

when the Class of 1912- decided to
give its gift to the library in the
form of planning and furnishing
The room
itself is the former New Book
Room and was made available when
the West Wing of the library was
completed. Final touches were
given last week and it was opened
on Friday.

All the furniture and the drap-
eries were chosen to harmonize with
the woodwork, the windows,. and
even:the door knobs of the room.
The cases are of cypress“wood, the
display case is- bronze edged, the
draperies of imported English
linen, and the old Persian rug was
lent by Miss Mary Peirce, Class of
1912,-for an indefinite time. Mrs.

ba B. Johnson, Class of 1889,
gave the College the carved oak
tables and chairs.

Most of the books displayed are
old books which the library has
purchased from year to year. They |
had been lying about in the stacks
for many years, exposed to wear
and tear they did not appreciate.
In the case are illuminated manu-
scripts lent by Miss Peirce and also
three books belonging to Mr.
Chew.

It is hoped that the establish-
ment of this room will serve as an
impetus for gifts of rare books.

given a 1548 edition of. Plato, a

City Lights

By Rebecca Robbins

City lights, if these parts, are
dim at best, as we’ve been saying,
often. In this modern age of ex-
panding government activity and
governmental overlapping, it’s hard
to tell one kerosene lamp from an-
other. What we mean to say is
that, what with state ahd city poli-
tics being so FUSED,
with the kerosene lamps giv
so much soot, and all, Pennsyl-
Vang politics presents a confused |

at the remembrance of their com-|
bined efforts on the present eco-;

The work meant “going to the
University of Penn and ‘getting

it meant tables, and tables, and

pings; it meant looking things up

family to be careful: about..alum-

a little, as she didn’t do alumin-

a well-meaning friend, “that the
President called her up yesterday
to ask- what kind of metals to use
on his convoys.” Susie may have
a hard time graduating, since she
has lost her cap and gown and also
the cap she borrowed for Bac-
culaureate, but at least the great,
hundred-page tome is __finished.|
Susie and Durning wildly threw)
their clippings and notes into the
senior bonfire and closed that page
of their lives.

There are other pages, however.
Innovation after innovation fol-

changed all the heads to stream-

splurge of polls and a flashy Gothic
banner head on the Commencement

not on the News, however, but-on|
herself. Feeling the need for free-

her hair and cut it off.

OPINION

Continued from Page Two
weavers’ scenes as those which
least fully realized their possibili-
ties, she certainly does not specify
what she considers realization by
her comments on the players she
seems to approve of. To call Puck
sprightly and dominating, Hermia
warm, and Titania delicate is not
going far to express their achieve-
ments. It goes without saying that
they should have these basic char-
acteristics or they would . never
have been chosen for their roles in
the first place.

If she had at least described the
subtle and unusual relationship
worked out between Puck and
Oberon, the striking grace of Ti-
tania, particularly in her first en-
trance, and Hermia’s artistic grad-
uation of emotional pitch, in the
scene where she awakens from her
nightmare, we should have some
idea of why these characters were
singled out for honorable mention.
And if she had remarked on the
ability of the cast and the stage
crew combined, to utilize every ad-
vantage of so large a natural and
artificial setting without ever seem-
ing overcome by its extraordinary
size, then we should understand
the use of the term unity. And
where did she find what she terms
“Elizabethan vitality” if not in the
splendidly happy scenes of the
weavers’ dramatic efforts? Cer-





tainly she could not be referring

to the distinctly Slavonic exuber-
ance of the love scenes? Of course,
it must be admitted that the extreme

even under these circumstances,
could not the critic have shown a
little more specific interest in. her
praises and condemnations alike? -

Senior Tree Planting

And Tree’s Invisibility,



Thursday, May 16.—The Senior
Class and the Grounds Committee
have accomplished tree-planting
with complete finesse; the Seniors!
decided where they would like to
plant their shrubbery, and then
the Grounds Committee told them
of an ideal spot. The Seniors de-j;
cided, with. the help of the Grounds
Committee, upon a hawthorne tree.
When it was delicately pointed out
that hawthornes can only be
planted in the fall; the Seniors un-
abashed dug their hole, Mac wield-
ing the traditional golf club spade.
Into the hole the class of 1941
threw their pennies (it is to be
noted that they were too well-bred
to dig them up again). Covering
up the roots of an _ unidentified
twig, the hawthorne’s substitute,
they completed the ceremony and
went on their way singing.

Moreover, it rained. But, un-

daunted by the dampness, un-
daunted by some picture-taking
Juniors (who were courteously

but forcibly ‘escorted home), un-
daunted by a tree in absentia, the
united class of ’41 serenaded the
halls, singing the “Spirit of the
Red” with spirit.



Sleeping Beauty Has
Charm and Comedy



Gymnasium, May 16 and 17—
In front of the gym, transformed
for the occasion into a fairy castle
with roses and heraldry, the Dance
Club presented a merry Sleeping
Beauty. The performance was
marked by many comic touches: the
reeling king, Audacious I, and his
silly queen, Gioconda; Miss Yeager
as a pompous, sred-nosed an-
nouncer; the little centaurettes on
hobby-horses; and the _ prince’s
pertable victrola serenade and at-
tack on the patient rose-bushes.
There were some “straight” scenes
too, and the prince and princess’
waltz of awakening had _ great
grace. Frances Lynd, ’43, as the
bad fairy with bat-like sways and
leaps was especially expressive.

College Editors Want England to Win War;

Unhampered by Rain fjuodiawor Federal Union to Supplant League»



“We want England to win the
war,” declared 91 per cent of the
nation’s college newspaper editors
in a poll of opinion conducted last:
week by the Student Federalists, a
naticnal student organization work-
ing in over 300 colleges and uni-
versities for the spread of the idea
of a Federal Union of the World’s
Democracies, starting with a Union

land and the British Commonwealth
as a nucleus. However, 70 per cent
of them did not favor our immedi-
ate participation in the war. For-
ty-seven’ per cent favored our par-
ticipation in the war at some fu-

tu-e date; 32 por cent were against |

any future participation, and 21



per cent undec ded.

In the mattar of wo1id govern-!
ment, the student editors were more |
in accord. The largest vote cast, |
92 “per cent, showed that ‘the stu-}
dent editors did not want the
League of Nations re-established |
on the same basis as_ before its|
collapse. They feel, say 87 er |
cent of the editors, that there is a
need for a world government to:
meke, adjudicate, and enforce in-'
te.national law. There are two
possible ways of doing this, point
out 86 per cent of the editors.
Clarence K. Streit’s Federal Union
plan, as outlined in his recent book,
“Union Now With Britain,” receiv-
ed the support of the majority, 48
per cent; the idea of a stronger |
League, including, of course, the|
United States, appealed to 38 per;
cent. The remaining 14 per cent
have the’r own ideas, most of them
preferring some form of federa-|
tion along the lines of Streit’s plan. |

Fifty per cent are undecided
about the outcome of the war; 43
per cont are sure Germany won’t
win, and 7 per cent think Ger-
many will win the war. On the
matter of ccnvoys, 47 per cent are
for and 48 per cent against; 10 per

cent havcn’t made up their minds
yet. It is interesting to point out
here that 72 per cent of our col-
lege editors believe that Germany
will not be satisfied with complete
control over the affairs of Europe
and that the Nazis will seek to
establish a world government.

On domestic matters, 66 per cent
of the editors believe that there
should b2 restrictions placed on la-
or engaged in defense industries;
2) per cent don’t, and 14 per cent
are undecided. Colonel Lindbergh
w ll find a ready ear from 30 per

cent of the nation’s student editors;

54 pcr cent do not favor his state-
ments, and 14 per cent are unde-
a ded.

While the poll of the nation’s
co lege editors seems to show a
few inco’sistzn’ics, it does show
that the majority of our college
leaders are hopeful for a-yictory of
the British; they recognize Hitler
as a world threat and they feel the
neid for inte.national government
in a much stronger form than sim-
ply a “league of states.” They
realize that internaticnal law needs

, the power of government behind it

to be at all useful in preserving
world peace. They fcel that the
test for.o this government could
take is th2 Amer can-invented
form, a Federal Union. Exactly

50 per cent of them declared that
| they would be willing to go to war

if t looked as if England were los-
ing.
