W. H. Bragg to Talk
On Crystal Analysis

Sir Willigm H. Bragg, who will
speak on the Structure of Organic
Crystals, Thursday, May 4, at 8.30,
in Goodhart, has been called the “god
of crystallography.” With his _son,
Sir William L. Bragg, he was award-
ed the Nobel prize’ in 1915 for pre-
liminary wotk in the field. At the
same time, Sir William, senior, is
noted -for his Children’s Christmas
lectures; where he has explained the
theories of light and sound in a form
infélligible to his “juvenile auditory.”

Sir William expects a general audi-
ence at Bryn Mawr, and will assume
it has no previous knowledge of crys-
tal structure. Mr. Patterson, of the
physics department, who worked with
Sir William, in London, in 1924-26,
assures the public that the lecture will
be intelligible to “anyone who can un-
derstand a tiled floor.” It is not diffi-
cult but complicated. A collection of
Sir William’s popular books are on

Ferrer Excels
In Production

Of Gondoliers

Riggs and Supporting Cast
Contribute Vocal Talent
- And Vivacity -





OPERETTA RECEIVES ,
ABUNDANT APPLAUSE



Goodhart Hall, April 28 and 29.—
With traditional care and. elaborate
preparation the Glee Club again pre-
sented a Gilbert and Sullivan master-
piece, The Gondoliers. The gay and
charming operetta, more suitable, per-
haps, to college talent than Patience,
was enthusiastically received by the
audiences at both performances.
Terry .Ferrer, ’40, who is an old
hand at the. game, came very close
to stealing the show. She undoubt-
edly would have succeeded had it not
been for the excellent performances
of Camilla Riggs, ’40, Louise Allen,
and Anne Updegraff, both ’42, plus
the vivacity and vocal prowess of the
chorus of Contadine. The scenes domi-
nated by these players were the high
spots of the evening. It is relaxing
to watch an actor who knows his
business. : ;
Miss Ferrer: was, as usual, in fine
form, and her singing was doubly
enjoyable because she snapped out
the words so crisply that none of the

economics department and Mr. Fen=NGilbert patter -was blurred. Her

giaciouaness of movement, moreover,

-|seignee-department.__According to Mr.| made her performance sure and pol-



ished. It is unfortunate that this is
the last time we shall have the pleas-
ure of seeing Miss Ferrer shai a G.
and S. production. .

Camilla Riggs as Marco Palmieri
was somewhat handicapped by a re-
cent. cold, but” nevertheless, did a
splendid piece of work. Especially
commendable was her rendition of
Take a Pair of Sparkling Eyes which
she had to repeat several times before
the applause subsided.

Louise Allen and Anne Updegraff,
brides of the gondoliers, sang beauti-
fully and easily filled the require-
ments of their roles. - Blond and
small, they furnished the proper con-
trast to their sea-going husbands.
Perhaps their voices, and in particu- —
lar Miss Allen’s, were the best in the
cast. They acted as well as they
sang and both showed a decided flair
for comedy.

Don Alhambra, the Grand Inquisi-
tor, was expertly played by Eleanor
Emery, 40. Miss Emery makes little
claim to an unusual singing voice, but
what she lacked musically she more
than made up for with dramatic abil-
ity. Whether leeringly patting Miss ©
Allen’s hand or thumping her cane
despondently, Miss Emery was with-
out parallel: What might have been
a small, unimportant role was a vital
part of the operetta.

Big May Day movies and the assembly have passed away, and the
pro party are more pro, and the cons have more or less resigned them-
selves to the fact that we’re going to have it anyway, and nothing can

be done about it.

Accepting the view that we probably are going to}

have it we do not believe that Ae can.be déne about it.

We are well acquainted with the

jargument that the celebration as

a whole, and dancing on the green ‘in particular, will lose all their
effectiveness if simplified. And we accept the fact that the proceed-
ings, once under way, must be directed by a single relatively firm
hand. Neither of these arguments, however, can force us to agree

ves-can be-made-in-May-Day.—If-a-majority_of students| __

want changes, they-cannot be stopped by vague traditionalism or by a

fiat that “it .won’t be as effective.”
It is.even possible that effectiveness is not

standards of effectiveness.

There are, after all, different.

the only criterion upon which to consider May Day.
For instance, it is argued that Big May Day is a unique produc:
tion—the only completely accurate reproduction of an Elizabethan

festival. We don’t doubt it. But

a completely accurate Elizabethan

festival is not necessarily the acme of a half year’s extra-curricular

energies—not to mention deductions from--curricular energy.

The

only possible criterion for our vote must be our individual estimation
of whether we wish to divert the greater part of our spare time to
Big May Day. In turn, this question inherently depends upon what
kind of energies May Day will utilize.

Will there be opportunity, for student direction of some of the
plays, for the choice and working up of new plays, for changes in: the
dancing on the green? Possibly none of these things are desired by
the majority, and if so, well and good, ‘The inclusion and exclusion of
particular kinds of activity like these-must-form the basis _on which

an individual can decide whether she wants May Day or not.

If

changes and new opportunities are wanted, they cannot be stopped

merely by the “less effective” argument.

The problem is not how to

produce the most spectacular performance possible, but to arrange a

production suiting the interests of those who are to take part in it.

Susan Metcalfe Casals gavé a sdng-
recital of the most yaried ‘and inter-

‘lesting sort, combining: works of early

masters with those/of Schubert, Schu-
mann, Brahms and the Moderns. It
is delightful to hear a singer whose
voice is well-controlled and who can
set the-mood of her songs so success-
fully. Not only did Mrs. Casals sing
with simplicity and understanding,
but her interpretations emphasized

lection. Lae]

Casals, the eminent cellist. Mr. Cas-

als taught his wife much of his own

Espetially in the Spanish songs, one
by Falla, and two by Granados, Mrs.
Casals emphasized the. native manner
of/ rendition. -Her whole method of
attack showed’ many years of experi-
nce as well as’ hard work..

The real test of a good singer is

notes falter, and her breathing seemed

especially in oie faster Italian selec-

The first group of songs was by
such masters as Gliick and. Mozart.’
They combined ornamental passages
with slow and simple pieces. The

Schumann. Mrs. Casals showed skill
in interpreting these composers and
also-the Brahms songs which followed.
Three songs by Fauré were well sung
with great feeling for the words. This

PUBLIC OPINION

To the suk

Ag a disinterested chaarver: I am
writing this letter with consideration
of the News’ critieal attitude toward
dramatic activities this year. It is
well-known what a small circle parti-
pates with real enthusiasm in the
plays presented here and at Haver-
ford. Some believe the lack of in-
terest is due to “Bryn Mawr intellec-
tuality”; others blame it on the de-
fects of Goodhart Auditorium.

There may be an element of truth
in both of these contentions, but per-
haps the News forgets what a funda-
mental influence it can have~on~col={
lege opinion. In view of this, and
believing that dramatics should be
encouraged, I think that moderation
would be a better policy than the
present one of condemnation. ~ Little
consideration is given to the amount
of work-and thought put into the pro-
ductions by the individuals. - Some of
the performances may be blunderingly
amateurish, but nevertheless the dis-
appointed dramatic efforts constitute
the main spark of interest in this field
on campus. “Why extinguish it?

It is to be acknowledged that there
are favorable comments in the write-
ups, but the balanée is scathing. I do
not advocate superficiality in the cri-
ticisms, but believe that emphasis
could fairly be laid on the successes
rather than the failures. This is par-
ticularly & propos because of the
present intense drive for Theatre
Workshop funds. Undoubtedly The
Theatre Workshop will be a strong

New Book : Room

The Old Century and Seven More -
Years

by Siegfried Sassoon
If this book is a first introduction
to Siegfried Sassoon,
reader may not be greatly impressed.

autobiography of a sensitive young:
man who grew up in the pleasantest
English circumstances during the

this sensitive person turned into a
full-fledged and powerful poet will not

be obtrusive, but will seem, rather,
incidental to the pleasant tenor of
thie story.

But to that other reader, who has
read Sassoon’s first autobiographical
trilogy, The Memoirs of George Sher-
ston, and who knows Sassoon’s poetry,
the book will come as a revelation.
He will find that Sassoon was not an
orphan, brought up by a detached,
kindly aunt, away from the world,

brothers, with a very active father
and mother and a wide circle of
friends, some of them far from other-
wordly. Going farther, the reader
will see that George Sherston actually
is Siegfried Sassoon. and will have
comprehefsion of . the man
strengthened and intensified.

This intensification comes as a--re-
sult of the view Sassoon has given
of the growth of his poethood.
not obtrusive, but the complete story
of that growth is given. In The
Memoirs of George Sherston poetry
was rarely mentioned, but now we see
that Sassoon read and wrote poetry
when he was very young, dropped the
business for a while, and then took
to it again with fierceness. In The
Memoirs any mention of this growth
is omitted. In The Old Century it is
subdued; but it is there, and the
more effective for the understatement.

The significance of the book is hard
to estimate. It is -written- many-years—
-after the end of the Old Century, and
after the change the War made in
Sassoon. But, as a true testament
of a poet’s coming into being, it can-
not fail to be read with apprecia-

tion.

Discuss Union Problems



Democratic Control Breaks Down

When Interest Declines
Common Room, April 26.—Workers
from different unions in Philadelphia
discussed Unions and Democracy at
an informal meeting. of the Industria]
Group. They generally felt that trade
unions are built on a democratic basis,

but that undemocratic methods, such
as appointing a shop chairman instead
of having a shop -election, have been
used=because of the lack of ' resistance
among the workers as:a mass. -If all
the workers struggled, these condi-
tions could be remedied but many are
not interested, and more are timid
and untrained.

The discussion made evident that
there are three kinds of people who
are not interested in the union: mar-
ried women with children, girls about
to be married, and workers who have
been. forced to join ‘the union because
of a closed shop. Even with every}
kind of inducement, including movies,
these people often cannot be stirred
into action.

Even if interested, the workers are
ti Their primary concern is to
earn their living, which means to keep
their jobs. Naturally they hesitate
to take action... For instance, the girls
of one factory complained that they
are working beyond the legal hour
limit, yet denied this when an out-
sider persuaded a state inspector: to
go through the factory. Workers
may be easily dominated by a local
union official so that they will vote
as chairman a man they all know to
be incompetent. Almost all workers
avoid responsibility, leaving only one



‘person who is willing to undertake

the job of chairman.
-Politics' .has also
unions. For example,

entered trade
before the

- election of the executive board a cam-

paign is carried on by two parties



similar to any political campaign.

their pioneer work. in this field which
won them the Nobel prize.

Since then, the Braggs have effec-
tively divided the world of crystal
analysis between them. Sir William,
junior,.is.Jeading authority on inor-
ganic crystals. Sir William, senior,
on organic. The family also occu-
pies the two most important scientific
posts in England, if not in the world.
Upon his appointment as head of the
famous Cavendish laboratories. at
Cambridge, Sir William, junior, was
the subject of an elaborate write-up
in Time of October, 1938. Sir Wil-
liam, senior, as president of the Royal

Society of London, serves ex of ficio

on all the scientific committees in
England, and has received honorary
degrees from a long list of universi-
ties. Of the titles that appear after
his name: on the college posters, the
P. R. S. signifies the presidency, the
O. M. the Order of Merit that is held
by. 12 distinguished. Britons at a
time. °

Sir William’s appointment as Pil-
grim Trust lecturer at the. National
Academy .of Sciences in Washington
brings him to the United States. He

has made other speeches since hé ar-}

rived and will return on, May 17.



When one party is elected a whole
slate of cohorts get positions. Teach-
ers are forced to teach only what
the party sanctions.

On the other hand, one girl came
who was completely satisfied with her
union. It has a huge recreational
and educational building which is like
a “second home.” The union is up-
to-date and is even hoping to put
through its own plan for hospital in-
surance. To achieve such a high
standard, the union has never stopped
struggling. And workers in less for-
tunate unions are discouraged by the
seemingly. endless difficulties.

Early Decision Vital

For Science Majors



Five Department to Require
Two Second Year Courses
Under New Plan



A few students who expect to ma-

jor in science change their. minds

after, one or two first year courses,
and some surprise themselves by be-
ing converted to. science by their re-
quired course. Most of the science
majors, however, know from the _ be-
ginning that they “want to. work in
some science or other.”
With the new provision,

ing next year, of two courses in sec-
ond year work required for all ma-
jors in the sciences, the problem of
choosing becomes _more~acute. The
student is Aortunate ho can make
her choigé by the end freshman
year d then not find. still more
to her liking somé allied course
taken in sophomore year.. This prob-
lem _aris¢s in other. fields as well,
particularly in the .history-politics-
economics group, but here the require-
ments allow more opportunity “to
change one’s mind.

The choice between taking a mini-
mum of science, to allow for courses

start-




e|in_the arts, and the temptation of

exclusive specialization seems bound to
create some dissatisfaction one way
or the other. The chief pitfall to
avoid consciously is the conflict of first
year physics and biology, which occur
at the same hour. -Considering _the
increasing interest’in biophysics it is
no longer reasonable to think that if
one likes one of them one will -not
like the other. |

The decision is made easier by vis-
iting the laboratories to see the dif-
ferent types of work. A student who
prefers a competent knowledge of or-
ganic detail to mathematical theory
should realize that she would be more
at home in biology than in physics.



If she likes mathematics for the: sat-
isfaction of manipulation,’ without
much interest in the proof, she should
avoid anything more advanced than
second year work. For the student
who is unreliable in handling delicate
mixtures chemistry will be either mis-
ery, or the end of this difficulty. For
many science majors the choice be-
comes’ one of elimination by negative
qualities.

In psychology the problems start
immediately to be individual in char-
acter. Last year two of the present
seniors raised chickens in Taylor
basement, and kept elaborate accounts
of their progress in learning habits
from shell to maturity. For abnormal
psychology, the students visit insane
asylums and acquire a magnificent
store oft, after-dinner anecdotes.

To understand the advanced work
in mathematics, and the work it
would involve, one must already have
a well developed mathematical intui-
tion. Even then, the courses sound
so. difficult, beforehand, as to be
almost impossible. In elementary
mathematics, however, the student,
constantly finds herself handling
problems that would have been in-
comprehensible the week before. Only
the realization that this progress can
continue justifies the decision to ma-
jor.

In chemistry the advanced student
has acquired diverse techniques and
knows what. to do with most of the
beautiful new apparatus. This year
the seniors in Advanced Organic are
synthesizing new substances. Although
this can be explained with a model
molecule made up of balls for atoms,
and sticks for bonds, the process is
not so simple as sticking’on~a couple
of new balls. The substances synthe-
sized this year are injected into rats,
to put them to sleep, but, one senior
reports, the only result produced was
to excite them.

Biology majors spend their time
dissecting’ and looking through a
microscope. One senior had ‘to study



‘and print superior photographs.



Why Is An Am? |

An undergraduate is said to
have:come upon a professor the
other day, crouching on all fours
over an ant-hill, watching the
manoeuvers of the insects. He
was looking very perplexed in-
deed and was heard muttering,
“T can’t believe they think. I
simply can’t believe they think.”







the effect’ of temperature on an
amoeba. Her apparatus allowed her,
by means of mirrors, to see superim-

posed in the same glance, the amoeba
and her tracing of him in his success-
ive positions. The second year biolo-
gist already has a knowledge of every
bone, muscle and enzyme in her body,
or at least those of a cat.

Because of the controversy raging
among geologists’ over. the region
around Bryn Mawr, the majors in
the. department can become well ac- |
qutainted with an important problem
at first hand. Seniors are allowed
gars, with certain restrictions, and
spend afternoons riding around a for-
mation in diminishing circles, to de-
termine its boundaries. :This year
they have learned to, take, develop
A
summer of work in the field, usually
Wyoming, is not required, but is one
of the best summer combinations of
pleasure with profit. The geology ma-
jors are among the few who have
permission to study in the New Sci-

ence Building after .10.30 p. m.

Physicists become at once mathe-
maticians.and mechanics. They also
learn to develop pictures, set up cir-
cuits, blow glass,.and take apart and
put together a variety of apparatus.
This semester the seven second year
students in Thermodynamics are per-
forming a set of experiments that will
result in a moderately complete study
of the physical properties of carbon
dioxide. In this they work with vac-
uum systems, temperamental high
pressure pumps, and quantities of dry
ice.

praise as does Mr. Willoughby for

to produce a unified whole and superb
setting for the play. Although the
gondoliers were good, their. voices
could not master the masculine range
with ease. Both choruses brought.a
brilliant semi-finale to the second act
with the cachuca, a wild exhilerating
dance. intensified by a swaying spot-
light.

As a whole, the second act was
more successful than the first, fresher
and more spontaneous. The first act
dragged slightly in the scenes with the
Duke of Plazo-Toro and his entour-
age. Shirley Weadock, ,/40, as the
Duke, was singing a part obviously
too--low for. her, and although she
struggled hard and skipped merrily
around the stage it got the best.of
her. Mary Newberry, ’40, and Lorna
Pottberg, ’39, were sadly miscast as
the Duke’s -daughter and ‘attendant.
Miss Newberry was stiff and uncom-
fortable. Margot Dethier, ’42, the
only member of the group with a really
good voice, could do little to alleviate
the tenseness of atmosphere. when
only the Duke and his train were on
stage.

The costumes were masterpieces of
color and imagination. ‘If the audi-
ence had failed to respond to, the
music, the brilliance of the gorgeous
materials would certainly have shaken
the mout of their lethargy. The sets
added the final touch to a memorable

evening.

Judy Martin Breaks Draw, “1645,
With Steal. in Ninth





"Judy Martin stole home with two
out in the’ninth inning to. nose “out
the faculty, 16-15, in an error-studded
game. Chris Waples and Mary Gum-
bart, for the. varsity, and Bruiser
Broughton and Ray Zirkle for the
faculty, led the batting attacks with
three hits out of six times at bat.
Curveball Cope tantalized the girls,
scoring eight strikeouts, while Tykie
Alexander fanned five of the faculty.

The faculty belted Alexander for
two ryns in the first inning. Hamish
Cameron doubled to right field to
drive in Cope for the first run, but
Broughton flied out to second. After
Zirkle worked the moundsman for a
walk,. and Full-Professor Crenshaw
connected for a_ single, Schoolboy
Sloane popped up to the catcher, end-
ing the inning.

The Varsity, in their half of the
inning, evened the. score, and it
was.a seesaw game until the fifth,
when the _ faculty’ teed off, making
eight runs. on five. hits. Violet Ray
Zirkle walloped a triple,, which ca-
romed off the tennis court, to drive in
three runs. Although Ed Watson,
pinch-hitting for good-at-the-war-cry
Lattimore, failed in the clutch, Dog-
fish Doyle, Full-Professor. Crenshaw,
H,O, and Chunk Nahm salvoed
singles past the Zelders which put
the faculty into the lead, 13-9.

The varsity came back to score six

runs, making the score 15-15 going

into the last half of the ninth inning.
Leading off, Gumbart trickled to
Pitcher Cope, who leisurely tossed to
the initial sack for the first out. Judy
Martin cannonaded a double over the
second baseman’s head, and Motley
drew a base on balls. It looked like a
rally, but Cope slipped a third strike

SY! on pinch-hitter Chester, and seemed to

have the situation well-in hand with
two strikes on Squibb. But the game
was lost. Tearing from third-on a
steal, Martin skidded over the plate
with the deciding run.

major subject. Miss “Wurster has
taken courses in mathematics since
freshman year, and as a junior is now
taking two advanced courses. —

‘She has not definitely decided
what problem to choose in working
for honors next year, but she will
take the course given for graduates
and particularly advanced students in
the-Theory of Functions of a Complex
Variable. With two other mathemat-
ics majors, Marie plans to make up
a team to enter the annual intercol-
legiate mathematics competition, spon-
sored by Harvard University. ‘This
will be the first time for wird Mawr
to send a team.

Miss Morley explains that the pa-
per she.sent over for the competition
is but half of a larger work as yet
unfinished. The» Sécond half is ‘to!
come later, but she has not yet. said
what aspect it will cover. The first
part analyzes the influence of civil
war in Spain on the balance of power
in the Mediterranean. Since her con-
tacts for her work have been «chiefly
with French-speaking Europeans, she
asked and was given permission to
submit her paper in French.

Miss Morley’s conclusions drawn
from this paper will naturally be in-
complete until the second part of her
work is finished. She ends the paper
submitted, however, by stating that
the problems of strategy resulting
from conditions in Spain: remain un-
solved and are of great importance,
due to the reciprocal distrust among
the powers which exist today. These
problems, she believes, will continue
to disturb Europe in the next weeks,
even after the civil war is over.

Miss * Morley is doing her major
work with the department of political
science. Although she has not yet
given her opinion, Mr. Fenwick feels
sure she will do her honors in ‘the
field of international law.

During her two years at Bryn
Mawr, Miss Morley has figured largely
in, the political organizations on the
campus. In 1937-38 she was presi-
dent of the International Relations
Club and represented Bryn Mawr as
Soviet Russia at the Model League
Association the sime year. She re-
ceived honorable mentiogi for her
speech there and the New York
Times\ writes “that the greatest ap-
plause| was reserved for Miss Morley
of Bryn Mawr.” For 1939-40 she has
been elected head of the Bryn Mawr
League Association and also of the}
Peace Council.

Another first prize was won by H. B,
Thomas, Jr. ,with his study of Pilings,
showing a general dark background
of steel grey water, relieved by white
caps, with upright pilings providing
the vertical accent. The photograph
is the most unusual of the whole col-
lection. Mr. Thomas is also exhibit-
ing Hollyhocks, a subtle contrast in
variations of light and shade.
One of the most personal portraits
is of Judith Evelyn, Weiss in a char-
acteristic mood. Doris Turner, the
photographer, has captured the spar-
kle of the child’s expression. The
softness of the edges: and the off-
centered composition are instrumen-
tal in creating the total effect.
There are several old stand-bys
which invariably appear in such an
exhibition. Especially good is a farm
scene of two work’ horses and a plow-
man, reminiscent of Rosa Bonheur.
Cloud effects are popular, as usual.
Doris Turner’s study from the Dean-

Rojec Chatice to Buy Cemetery Plot



A short time ago Walton Roof was
the scene of an entertainment not
furnished by the management. It
started in a very, simple way. Helen
Morgan was singing there and two
Bryn Mawr sophomores were out to
hear her. The résult was rather
confusing.

After her porformance she was
cornered in the bar by Bryn Mawr.
Miss Morgan was at her chattiest
best and, with a hand-out of cock-
tails, proceeded to divulge the secrets
_ of the great, gay night-life. Absorbed
in the tale, one of the sophomores
was taken aback when she noticed
that a strange man was. leaning
heavily on her leg. He broke into a
rapid-fire monoloque at that point, ad-
dressing himself to Miss Morgan. In
a slightly weavy fashion he impressed
it upon his~listeyers that he sold
cemetery plots. He tried sales talk
on the singer, but all she wanted was
another round of drinks. The little
man became very agitated, waving a
glass of champagne in one hand and,
. with. his other, still clutching the
sophomore’s leg. A group of his fel-
low grave-diggers ambled up ever so

ben

nonchalantly and _ extricated — the
sophomore. The little fellow, looking
very harrassed, mumbled in apology
“So sorry, thought you were a chair.”
The conversation then switched to
the happy topic of the possibility of
stuffing Hitler with moth-balls. Hear-
ing the sound of a machine gun, a ro-
tund major from the last war rolled
up. He wanted to enlist: the Bryn
Mawrters for the cause of making
the world safe for democracy, but
thought Miss Morgan should be saved
for bigger and better things. In his
gyrations for his “Fight For Amer-
ica” policy he successfully knocked: the
glass of champagne from the grave-
digger’s hand onto Miss Morgan’s lap.
Not a bit perturbed Miss Morgan
turned to the girls and asked them
if they would not like some Easter
eggs which she would autograph, for
them. She left for afew minutes and
returned with the autographed eggs,
one purple and one orange.
As the members of the Bryn Mawr
delegation departed she clasped-them
each by the hand and said. ‘My

them herself.

But I’m afraid they
will hatch.” ;

GONDOLIERS FURNISH
DECORATION MOTIF |
FOR COLLEGE DANCE



Gymnasium, April 29.—A jubilant
though tired cast and an enthusiastic
audience joined forces to enjoy the
Undergraduate dance after the Glee
Club’s presentation of The Gondoliers.
An able Dance Committee headed by
Madge Lazo, ’41, transformed the bare
gymnasium, keeping The Gondoliers
in mind.

One end wall was covered with an
impressionistic scene of Venice and

with a figure of the gondolier. The
ceiling was invisible behind its mask
of gay-colored streamers and masses
of balloons. The windows were also
made festive by balloons which, to-
wards the end of the evening, fur-
hished targets for well-aimed pins and
lighted cigarettes.

Frankie Day’s orchestra supplied
more than adequate rhythm. Indeed,
there seemed to be several “jitter-
bugs” present: who. welcomed some
“hot” numbers, among™them a tango.
More popular, however, was thé Vien-
nese waltz which had to be -encored
because it gave everyone a chance
to glide and swoop gracefully about

the floor.

Early arrivals were somewhat dis-
turbed by the- groups ‘of brilliant
lights. stationed about the floor for
the convenience of Bar Cary and ‘her
college movie: These were an old

story to Bryn Mawr girls, but a dis-
tinct shock to their dates who at first
were wary of dancing within the

ology, two years of chemistry and
elementary physics. Mr. Zirkle’s
course in biophysics will not be given
until the following year, and 4 special
lecturer on photochemistry will be ap-
pointed by the department of chem-
istry- to give lectures during the first
semester. In the department of phy-
sits, Mr. Patterson will continue to
offer an elective course: The Applica-
tion of Physics to peanay and Chem-
istry. \

The denabtabitt of . mathematics

will be the only science which does not
require two units of second year work
for its majors. Formerly, physics,
biology and chemi:try offered a single,
one and a half unit second year
course. These have now, been re-
divided, and starting next year, these
departments, like that of psychology,-
will offer two single unit courses; with
one afternoon of laboratory apiece,
both of them required of. all majors:

In all the sciences, second se
work is to include two full year
courses: Laboratories ‘in each course
are scheduled for one afternoon only—
with additional morning periods where
needed—so that it will be possible for
a student to .take three science courses
without conflict._«
Additions to the English: literature
curriculum include the Play Writing,
course which Miss Latham, will again
give next’ year. Thig course, :which
was. first. offered in 1937, deals with
the modern drama in connection with
the: writing. of plays. American Lit-
erature; a new course to be given by
Miss Meigs and to be open to upper-
classmen, will also select’ material



suited to the interests of the student

ture, a course in the Eighteenth Cen-
tury will be taught. by Miss Koller,
and is designed as a beginning course
for. majors, or as the literature re-
quirement for others. Also available
to English majors, even if they have
not had minor history, will be Miss
Robbin’s. course in England from
1485-1783.

Free elective work in the history of
art department has been reorganized
and will include a full year course,
given by Mr. Soper, in Art of the
Far East.’ This is to be a compre-
hensive study of sculpture, painting
and architectures in Japan and China,
covering the religious and cultural
environment of each phase and the in-
