For Basic Laws



SIXTY GIRLS ATTEND
SUCCESSFUL ’36 TERM

Although founded in 1921, the Bryn
Mawr Sunimer School is still a new
development in the field of education,
a bold experiment still growing and
changing, as. interesting to watch as
the building of a rocket ship, and far
more practical. It departs to a great
extent from academic methods of
study and instruction; it uses differ-
ent material for different ends. Yet
its final aim is a striving for clear
thinking and acting, for truth in its
ideas and democracy in its society.

In the ,séssion of 1936, sixty girls
for eight weeks lived in Denbigh,
studied in Radnor and Taylor, played
in the Gym, and looked on the cam-
pus as their own. They were girls
of education, attitude and position in
life entirely different from the girls
of the winter college. Few of them
had gone beyond high school, and not
all of them had completed that much
training. They earned their own liv-
ings, when they could find jobs; and
the problems of politics, economics,
and sociology were not theory for
them but facts which determined how
much food they could buy, how much
rent they could pay, how safely they
could work in. their factories. To
these girls, their eight weeks of study
were not merely for the attainment of
a proper culture, nor for the gaining
of better wages and position after-
wards. They studied because they
wanted to know how to deal with the
insecurities of their lives, because they

* wanted to show the way to others,

and because they wanted to help in-
telligently in establishing a higher,
more certain standard of working and
living for the future.

They studied, consequently, the
problems of labor. Four days a week

_for an hour and a half they attended

economics classes where they analyzed
their own experience to see the forces
active there. They investigated the
growth of the labor movement all over
the world; they argued over the rela-
tive merits of craft and industrial
unionism; they discussed labor legis-
lation and sought for the reasons why
it has met with such great opposition
and such small success.

In their English classes, that filled
the other half of the morning, they re-
hearsed these same subjects again,

Changes in Schedule |
Announced in Chapel

Amount of Work Available in N. Y.
A. is Discussed by Dean Manning

Goodhart, September 30.—In_ her |
first chapel speech of the year, Dean
Manning announced various course |
changes and division schedules, and
discussed. the amount of N. Y. A. work
available.

Money has been provided by the
federal government through the Na-
tional Youth Administration to be
used at the discretion of the college.
With freshman or: sophomore courses
Dean Manning advised against taking
over four or five hours’ work a week.
There have been many requests from |
the faculty and. staff already for
workers, and particularly for trained
stenographers.

‘Mrs. Manning announced that it
would be impossible for a student to
attend philosophy lectures in a divi-
sion in which she was unable to attend
the conferences.

Students were asked to report con-
flicts in division lists to the Dean’s
Office immediately. Those considering
taking the History of Religion course,
now scheduled for eleven o’clock, were
asked to report their decision to the
Dean’s Office also, and to state their
preferences as to the class time, in
which case a more satisfactory hour
might be arranged.



Deceptive Sophomores Retrieve Old Tune
From Unwary Freshmen on Parade Night

| Undergraduates!! Who





With desperate pleadings of “rain,
rain, go away” and sly glances fur-
tively signifying “eight o’clock and
all’s well,” the class of 1940, bursting
with eagerness and short-lived pride,
took its stand under Pembroke arch
last Tuesday night to extol the se-
cretive success of its sedate scholars.
Black-gowned juniors lit their sput-
tery torches and waited patiently for
the Bryn Mawr band, somewhat en-
larged and more vivacious than in
previous years, to cease its necessary
but ear-splitting notes of preparation.
Then there was silence, a moment of
apprehension, until the voices of one
hundred and_ thirteen freshman,
mingled with the blaring trumpets of
the band in a triumphant chorus of
“There is a Tavern in the Town” with
original and appropriate words.

Passing through Senior Row and
down the steep hill to the hockey field,
the procession, which had gained the
momentum of a small avalanche, en-
countered the single circle of sopho-
mores who were bracing themselves

in a feverish attempt to stop the ap-.

proaching herd. Freshman kicked

mores and yanked them from their |
comfortable places in front of the)
fire.

Much shouting and riotous laugh- |
ter boomed from the freshman ranks, |
while over in a dark corner of |
the field a vanquished group sought |
revenge for its defeat. It came a|
few m‘nutes later. For after the|
freshmen had finished dancing around
the fire, repeating their song several
times, there was. a period of compara-
tive quiet, short seconds of awaiting
the unhoped-for. Then from the ob-
security arose an answering chorus,
‘ouder and more triumphant than its
challenging predecessor.

The sophomore8™had outwitted the
freshmen and revenge was sweet.
There were gasps of disappointment,

of disgust and- amazement as a
wicked tale of deception was un-
folded by caustic sophomores who
delighted in telling of the adven-
tures of Louise Herron, ’39,. dis-
guised as a belated freshman in Den-
bigh. Victory for the class of ’39,
bitter disappointment, perhaps, for the



newcomers, but it all adds to the

Common Room, October 5.—The
American Students’ Union held its
first meeting of the year this evening
to discuss its plans for the future.
As. Sylvia Wright, ’88, the president
of the Union, explained, it was not
strictly a formal opening meeting,
since the reports of committees which
had been working over the summer
were neither ready nor called for. It
was rather a gathering to clarify the
action of the Union.

The American Students’ Union is
very young, said Miss Wright, both
n this campus and all over the coun-
thy. Last year, its * members
more enthusiastic over its existence
than understanding of its purpose.
They indulged ‘in a great deal of
action without knowing exactly why.
In this year, therefore, the Union
should justify its non-partisan title
by making an effort to comprehend
all sides of the political crisis which

chi rion RESULT OF GRADUAL CHANGE



Goodhart, September 29.—President
Park, quoting the Harvard Tercenten-
ary program, defined last year’s cele-
braticn of Bryn Mawr’s semi-centen-
nial as “a time’ of rememberance and
thanksgiving.”’ Reassuring as this af-
fectionate review of our past was, its
atmosphere will not suffice for this,
our fifty-second year. “We are not
counting our successes, but venturing
them again—The lines which we"
sketch in on our map may or may not
prove correct—But we shall move for-
ward, not backward on them.” In
addition, the college is framing itS
| policies to train its individuals to be
effective and thoughtful workers
“toward a new American civilization,
{servants of a democracy in danger.”
Accordingly this year demands “think-
ing, not feeling,” and exciting changes
are to quicken campus activity.



| In this spirit, President Park has
| assigned $1000 annually to be used
|on projects suggested by faculty. or
graduate students and to be appro-
priated by a committee consisting of



| Professors Tennent, Gray and Taylor.

**Neat But Not Gaudy—”

After two weeks of looking around and listening to cheery w
comes and endless reading lists you newly-enrolled Bryn Mawrters
no doubt skeptical of the whole college world and Bryn Mawr in
ticular. We cannot say that we blame you at this stage and did we
know better, we would leave you with a bleak warning that things lpok
worse in January. We have, however, in reduced numbers_s ed the
work, the dullness and the trying presence of unattainable ideals... To
our surprise, we have found that the college and its traditions have
become part of ourselves, willy-nilly, and that despite our loud claims
to the contrary we have already reaped profit from our years here. We
laugh at eulogies of our beautiful campus, but we return to it with
pleasure. We scorn the constant “as young
women working independently and yet we
frequently find ourselves trying to fit those words with actions. We
therefore have:no wise advice to giveswou as you join our ranks, except
to ask you to enjoy and use much more than we have the pleasant life
and the splendid opportunities which you will find here. It will be a
quiet year, but the survivors of last year’s hectic activities have weak-
ened nerves and want no undue excitement. They wish to live quietly
before the eldest among them prepare for the initial sacrifice to that
noble experiment of comprehensives.

This plea for peace and quiet should not, however, be exaggerated.
Coy—eollegianisms are—of course definitely out, but there are hun-
dreds of other ways in which you will all become vital factors in the
college. You enter as a markedly disinterested class leaves. Your
spontaneity and interest are vital to counteract what Fortune called
“the cautious watchfulgess of this college generation.” Everyone will
look to you for ideas, and whatever you have to offer will be weleomed
with open arms. When the bars are lowered in February and you
stream into extra-curricular activities, your energy should be felt in
sound punches delivered with verve. We hope that you will be the
most remarkable class in recent years and we wish you luck!






urgings for us to live

The Younger Generation

When the old noble families of Europe, weak
inbreeding, sometimes married with a vigorous merchant stock, there
often resulted from this union a generation of great strength and
beauty and brilliant intellect. In founding the Summer School for
Women Workers in Industry, the college effected a similarly stimulat-
ing union for itself, but the new generation has not yet arisen. Miss
Park, a few of the faculty, a few of the: students, have worked for this
new growth, but the faculty and the students as a whole have remained
unaltered by it. Although affiliated in name with a schooleof workers, a
school where there are studied the homely problems of earning wages,
paying for food, and electing men to the government, Bryn Mawr has
inspected them only through the

opera glass of theory and textbook.
In the Summer School itself, however
ing at life has to some degree met in healthy fusion with the common
way of living it. Far more than the college has ever honored their con-
tribution, the Summer School students honor what’ the college has
viven them. The quiet, thoughtful atmosphere of the campus. and the
halls, the great tradition of scholarship connected with the name of
Bryn Mawr, they respect and proudly associate with themselves. They
welcome the chance of pausing for a time to discover the reasons and
the solutions for their problems. While the time they can pause is
too brief to give them any comprehensive knowledge, still they learn
the value of simply stopping to consider; they perceive the efficiency
of acting according to a thoughtful principle. And this acting of
principles, not the mere understanding of them, is the aim of educa-
tion. It is the vital generation which should have sprung up among
the college students too when the Summer: School was allied to them.
There is no danger that their new methods of thinking and working
will be obliterated in the minds of these students. as quickly as they

about work that was hers, or strikes that she had seen. She studied
the terms of social security laws that affected her factory; old age and
unemployment bills that helped or neglected her own mother and
father. After such training, she could not help but continue to apply
intellect to her experience. Although she might not possess the
knowledge of the past that a girl in the winter college would have, she
would be perhaps more able to take her place in the present.

The college, therefore, should not look upon the Summer Sehool
as a poor relation, but as an equal and even as a leadex, since the school
has progressed a little farther in the realization of the fresh spirit that
ean spring from the joining of two such equals. The Bryn Mawr stu-
dents should not only welcome the school students to their campus, but
find out what they do here and what their lives are like in their homes
and their shops. For their difficulties are not utterly apart from any-
thing a college girl would meet; instead they are simply the other side
of her world, and as they vary her world must vary too. If she would
see her own existence completely she must look at the Summer School
and understand it. And if she sees completely, she will inevitably
want to leave her abstracted position for a place of action, a place
where she can help to make the principles which she knows are right
into the reality which they are not now. Then, when its education
becomes concrete and effective like this, the new generation will have.

President Park States 52d
Year Should be Pro gressive



Continued from Page One

to help her students define and ma-
ture their interest and to eradicate
the “lazy,” self-satisfied mind of the
provincial,” a hew force, examinations
in major subjects, has been introduced
to the campus. This is the gradual
result of the invigorating changes
which have been instituted-since Miss
Park’s entrance fourteen years ago.
Their obvious success is largely due
to the “calm proposals” of Dean
Manning, made! with “the wisdom of
the serpent and the harmlessness of
the dove.” The faculty hopes that not
only will each girl through the focus-
sing urge of the compresensive ex-
aminations be better able to define her
intellectual liking, but that the discip-
line involved will “give her serious-
ness, sureness and power.” The plan
émust be communely and objectively
studied so that its errors may be
erradicated and its possibilities ex-
tended.

In the graduate school, changes
have also been introduced by Dean
Schenck’s initiative and through’ the
work of the graduate committee and
the faculty. The M. A. degree has
been studied in an effort to re-
lieve it of some “bombast” and more
red t.pe, as has recently been done
in the case of the Ph. D.

The Specially Favored Research
Problem, which rotates among the
graduate departments, will enable the
Department of Archaeology to unite
in the unearthing of new and perhaps



publishable material on early Greek
civilization. Edith Eccles, B. A. of
the University of London, a student
at the British School of Archaeology,
and two ‘special scholars have -been
assigned to this department, in addi-
tion to the usual fellow and scholar.

Bryn Mawr, Harvard and the Insti-
tute of Archaeology announces that
besides shany encouraging finds it has
discovered a. true Mycenaean level.
Another ‘ambitious device which
Dean Schenck introduced into the
graduate school last “year will «be
quadrupled this year. An exchange
fof teaching fellows between Bryn
Mawr and foreign universities will
take place in four instances. Mary
Pauline Jones, ’35, is to be assistant
in English at Dijon; Catherine
Fehrer, M. A., ’35, has. been placed
in Sévres; Caroline Brown, ’36, goes
to the University of Frankfurt; Kath-
erine Tilton, candidate for the doc-
torate, returns to Florence; Lena
Mandell, who was to have been at
Madrid, through the courtesy of the
French Department of Education, will
be at Vannes. In return, Paquerette
Nasse, Erika Simon and Paola Fran-

Mawr. Arsenia Arroyo, who was to
have come from Spain, writes that
her acceptance must be _ postponed
“until the war is ended.”

The eminent Etruscan scholar, Dr.
Eva Fiesel, formerly of the Univer-
sity of Munich, is to be visiting pro-
fessor at Bryn Mawr for three years.
The generosity of Dr. Fiesel’s col-
leagues at Yale, of the Rockefeller
foundation, and of the Committee in



The joint excavation in Tarsus by

chetti will be teaching fellows at Bryn’



Aid .of Displaced Gece auhclaxs
makes this valuable event possible.

Happily restored to their. various
departments are: Mrs.. Wheel Mr
Herben, Miss Robbins;-Mx.Brinto
Miss Latham and Mrs. Wyncie King.
Miss Germaine Brée replaces Mlle.
Souberain, who is completing her book
during her sabbatical year in France;
in geology, Mr. Lee Collins lectures for
one semester in place of Mr. Dryden,
and during ‘the second semester, for
Mr. Watson. Mr. Veltman and Miss
Walsh are taking over Mr. Nahm’s
courses for the year. °

Eagerly we welcome these new fac-
ulty members into our midst: Dr.
Bertha Kraus in the Department of
Social Economy; Dr. Arthur Sprague
in English;. Dr. Patterson in physics.
Miss Linn, ’26, and M. A. ’29, Reader
in Economics and Politics, 1930-32,
and Instructor in English Semester IT
1934-35, and Miss Mary Henderson,
A. B. University of Colorado ’27, as-
sistant at Barnard last year, have
been appointed as instructors in the
English Department. They will di-
rect the first-year composition courses
of Dr.-Clara Kirk, who resigned dur-
ing the summer.

On the invitation of the Social Sci-
ence Department Dr. Barbara Woot-
ton of the University of London is to
deliver the Anna Howard Shaw lec-
tures of the year during April and
part of May. Among her numerous
other appointments Mrs. Wootton is
the only woman member of the British
Delegation to the World Economic
Conference and to the Pacific Insti-
tute. She will, in addition to semi-
nar work, confer with undergraduates








in economics and politics.

Mrs. Chadwick-Collins is recovering
and it is to be hoped will be with us
as early as December.

t as Miss King was to leave Cali-
‘to_return to Bryn Mawr, she
became~ill ard, although she has im-
proved, work hag been/forbidden to
her for this year.\It‘is “a bitter™di
appointment to lose her unique com-
bination of brilliance and industry, of
learning and enthusiasnt, of meneroe
ity and a witty tongue.’

There are more students in the col-
lege than ever before. The striking
feature of our 118 freshmen _ is
their unorthodox preparation. Cairo,
Shanghai, as well as England, Flor-
ence and Paris, are represented.
Eight freshmen enter under the five-
year plan which we have initiated this
year with the Progressive School ex-
periment. It will be interesting to
find out whether “we can be as adapt-
able to the individual good brain: as
we have always boasted ourselves to
be.” The 1940 Giant Blunderbore,
despite the necessary small number
of freshmen, is likely to have many
runners-up, for at least “in cubic
inches” the class is noteworthy.

One hundred and fifteen registra-
tions ‘in the graduate school compare
favorably with the 91 of last year.

Sara Anderson of Royersford,
Scholar in Archaeology, has been
awarded the scholarship of the So-
ciety of Pennsylvanian Women in New
York. Edith Ford Sollers will again
do research work in chemistry through
the Alice Freeman Palmer fellowship
from Wellesley College. Mary Soutar,
B. A. of Girton College, Cambridge,





will work in the Dupartiiant of So-
cial Economy. The _ distinguished
American Association of University
Women Latin-American Fellowship is
to be held in this department by Mlle.:
Madeleine Sylvain, Licencié-en-droit,
University of Port-au-Prince. Agnes
Chen, B. A. of Yenching College ’35,
+holds a graduate scholarship given by
the Chinese Scholayship~Committee.

Our OWn~—~seholays are_
abroad:
European Fellow at the University of
London; Elizabeth Monroe again
Bryn Mawr European Fellow of 1935
at Cambridge; ‘Elizabeth Wyckoff,
Bryn Mawr European Fellow of 1936
at Newnham; Emily Grave holds. a
special scholarship at the American
School at Athens, as does Barbara
Cary in Berlin. Susan Savage begins
her two-year fellowship at the Ameri-
can Academy in Rome,

Yet beyond these academic advances
there is something which compels us
to look toward a more substantial goal.
Unclear as its “exact form” is, it con-
cerns itself “with the crystallization
of the American civilization—’ and
“with an attempt to maintain a demo-
cratic order in a_ scientific
This can be developed only through “a
mental revolution—away from self-
interest and special privileg@ to a will-
ingness to act for the good of the
whole.”

Such institutions as the Bryn Mawr
Summer School help effect the inte-
gration which is necessary to our
democracy. “ “We are interested in
training individuals to the use of ef-
fective, clean attack and defense and
to tolerance of opposing opinions.”

seeking to express them logically and
convincingly. For they wanted not
merely to learn, but to tell their knowl-
edge to other people. They planned to
address their union meetings, their
Y. W. C. A.’s, perhaps even their state
committees and legislatures, and to
that end they practiced public speak-
ing and parliamentary law indefatig-
ably. While the science classes, which
they attended twice a week, were less
obviously related to their personal
situations, actually they were no less
so. These sixteen lectures gave a gen-
eral survey of the world from the
misty beginnings of the universe up
to the present social structure, with a
thoroughness astonishing in so brief
a course. Through them all, however,
the emphasis was not so much on
the magnificent story they told, as on
the logic of that story, on the fact that
natural explanations underlay all the
common store of superstition, preju-
dice and error about such things. Like

Don’t Write But Radio Your Greetings;



Now Open for Business



In a letter received’ recently from
Dr. E. W. Blanchard of the Depart-
ment. of Biolo®y, announcement was
made of an’ amateut radio - station
which goes on the air from his home
at ¥approximately’6 p. m. daily. Dr.
Blanchard has kindly offered the ser-
vices of the station to the college at
large. Anyone wishing to send mes-
sages in this novel and interesting way
will find blanks for the purpose in Dr.
Blanchard’s office.

His letter follows:

My dear Miss Fisher,

Since the flood disasters of last
spring everyone realizes that there are
in this country, and throughout the
world, thousands of amateur radio
stations representing, in most instan-
ces, the expression of the’ owner’s de-
sire for a worthwhile hobby. These
stations have received well-earned
praise for their work at times when
all usual methods of communication
have failed.

Many individuals do not realize
that these same stations are ready and

willing to send, relay, and receive mes-
sages, not only in emergency, but at
any time... Thousands of these sta-
tions keep daily and nightly schedules
for the sole purpose of handling
“traffic,” and the U. S. and Canada
are. spiderwebbed with interconnecting
relay lines.

I am writing this letter to offer to
the members of the college community
the ‘services of station W3GHP, Bryn
Mawr, in the sending of messages. via
“Amateur Radio.” In as much as
these messages. are carried free of
charge and depend for their relaying
upon the efforts of a non-commercial
organization, delivery at destination
cannot be guaranteed, but the percent-
age of deliveries is surprisingly high.
Tor this reason amateur stations pre-
fer not to accept messages of vital
importance which should properly be
sent by mail or commercial telegraph,

-but ordinary letter material, birthday

and anniversary greetings, etc., may be
sent with a reasonable assurance of
safe delivery and make a “different”
type of communication.

Messages leave here nightly, and if
anyone is interested in this service
message blanks are available in my
office in Dalton.:

Very sincerely yours,

Dr. E. W. BLANCHARD, W38GHP.



the teachers of English and econom-
ics, the science teacher encouraged his
classes to think rationally, to accept
nothing on faith, and to see their
position not narrowly or imperfectly,
but in relation to the whole world.

Nor did the effort to train the stu-
dents towards clear-sightedness stop
with their classroom work. There
was a social science workshop set up
in Taylor Hall where each girl could
learn to reduce indefinite figures and
trends that she might know, yet find
too vague to express, into the concrete
lines and symbols of graphs, charts,
and posters.

There were classes in dramatics,
Where the translation of ideas into
effective plays or recitations was
practiced. Almost every Saturday
night some sort of dramatic pro-
duction was put on, and the best of
these were not ready-made, but those
built up by the girls themselves from
their own lives or their own hopes.

The climax of their theatrical season
came with the International Peace
Festival that they celebrated in the
Cloisters. For this, they divided into
groups according to their various na-
tionalities—English, French, Polish,
Russian, Turkish, Syrian, Swedish, al-
most every race. Enough of the
girls had been born in Europe or
come from homes where the _lan-
guage and ways of Europe prevailed,
so that they could put off easily the
appearance of Americans and become
like natives of the countries they rep-
resented. Wearing bright © folk-cos-
tumes, they sang and danced and
acted out scenes typical of their Eu-
ropean or Asiatic homes. They were
alien to each other. Then, with the
foree of one great emotion that they
all felt—the hatred of war—they were
one again. Spaniard beside German,
Russian beside Italian, they crowded
together shouting, ‘““We will not fight!”
It was a very stirring spectacle. Al.
though on a small scale, it was the
embodiment of an ideal far too often
scoffed at as an idle dream. It was,
in a way, a symbol of the Summer
School itself, which is likewise an em-
bodiment, a very substantial one, of
a very great ideal of education.

DR. GILBRETH TO BE
VOCATIONAL ADVISOR



Dr. Lillian Moller Gilbreth is to
act as vocational advisor to the Bu-
reau: of Recommendations during the
present college year. Dr. Gilbreth
is a graduate of the University of
California and took her Ph.D. in psy-
chology at Brown University. She
has received a number of honorary
degrees in recent years, including the
degree of Doctor of Science from
Brown University and the degree of



Doctor of Laws from the University
of California. —

Mrs. Gilbreth is the president of
Gilbreth, Inc., consulting engineers,
and is also Professor of ‘Management
in the engineering school at Purdue
University. She has had a very
wide experience as consultant on per-
sonnel and other problems in many
lines of industry. She has come to
Bryn Mawr for the last three years
to talk to the seniors about jobs—
how to find them and how to_ keep
them.. This year she will come to the
campus three or four times, making
her first visit early in-November, will
talk to the students individually and
in groups, ard will try to show them
how to estimate their own chances of
success and failure in different lines
of work as well as discuss with them
openings which are now available.

Mrs. Gilbreth -has brought up a
large family of children (eleven) her-
self and is keenly interested in the
problem of combining a salaried posi-
tion with domestic pursuits. She
worked for many years with her hus-
band in the firm of consulting engi-
neers of which she is now president,
and published a number of studies in
collaboration with him on various
aspects of scientific management. In
recent years she has published two
books of. her own: The Home Maker
and Her Job and Living With Our
Children.



New ‘Warden in Rockefeller

Miss Esther Comegys has become
the new warden of Rockefeller Hall,
replacing Miss Richardson, who mar-
ried Mr. Samuel Scoville, Jr.

Miss Comegys graduated from
Wellesley College and received her
Master’s degree from the University
of Pennsylvania while teaching mathe-
matics at the Springside School in
Chestnut Hill. She left this position
to teach at Wellesley and to take up
graduate work in mathematics at
Radcliffe. After teaching at Simmons
College, Miss Comegys took the posi-
tion of Dean at Abbot Academy in
Andover, Massachusetts.



Miss Park Represents
Bryn Mawr at Harvard



University is Honored as a Symbol
of Progress in Learning



Miss Park, as the representative
of Bryn Mawr College, was present
at the three final days of Harvard’s
Tercentenary celebration. Neither
she, however, nor any delegate spoke
in behalf of their respective colleges.
The emphasis of the anniversary was .
laid upon learning itself, not upon in-
stitutions of learning. Harvard was .
a symbol of the advance -of-American
education, and was honored as such,
rather ¢han as an individual univer-
sity.

On Wednesday, the sixteenth of
September, a reception for the five ,
hundred delegates from colleges and
universities all over the world was
held. In the order of the ages of
their institutions, the representatives
walked across the stage to be greeted
by President Conant, and among them‘
walked Miss Park.

Friday was the great day of the
celebration. On this day President
Conant gave the main speech, and fol-
lowed it with his citations of the sixty-
two distinguished scholars to whom he
presented degrees. Among these schol-
ars were many who were friends of
Bryn Mawr, many who had spoken
here and some who had taught here.
Charles McLean \Andrews of Yale,
under. whom Mrs\ Manning’ studied,
was given a degrée—in history, and
Dr. Ross Harrison, one in biology. Mr.
Paul Hazard, who; was a Flexner lec-
turer, and who will be visiting the
college again this fall, received a de-
gree, as did Mr. Rostovzeff, who gave
the Horace Lecture last fall.

Memories of Summer

Linger Upon Campus

Continued from Page One
masterful. handling of. the language
around these’ Yankee halls fills us
with a wide-eyed admiration.

A group of past and present Bryn
Mawrters with serious archaeological
intentions, including Doreen Canaday,
36, Mary Hinckley Hutchings, 737,
Elizabeth Washburn, ’37, and Ger-
trude Le’ghton, °38, wert cruising
through the islands of the Aegean in
the company of MisS’ Swindler. They
set sail from Athens in a small and
antique steamer with accommodations
of the most primitive sort. A gay in-
formality, quite in keeping with the
general appearance of the boat, per-
vaded the entire company of sixty
students and scholars to such an ex-
tent that everyone slept on deck dur-
ing the whole trip. A typical day of
the three weeks’ cruise would run:
ris om the deck at six a. m.; climb
a mountain from seven a. m. to eleven

a. m.; lunch at twelve; sleep till five

p. m.; climb another mountain from
five till eight; and return to the deck
at nine-thirty. The trip from begin-
ning to end was full of amusing inci-

dents and every undergraduate a
made {ft agrees that she probably
/never had more enjoyment.

The most thrilling adventure of the
|summer was without doubt that of
| Helen Fisher, ’°37, and Lois Marean,
37, who*were marooned in Spain for
| two weeks by the revolution. For sev-
|eral days they were unable to advise
‘their, frantic families that they were
in a quiet part of Spain and had seen
no fighting and no atrocities. After
much haggling with various consuls
they were removed from Santiago to
Vigo under a military escort. . At
Vigo they vere installed in the larg-
est hotel until an American cutter
could pick them up. While they were
at the hotel, the headquarters of the
Fascist Party, they became firm
friends of the rebel] officers and were
taken sailing and picnicking and given
such an altogether charming time that
when. the U.S. Navy arrived, they
didn’t want to go home!

the W. P; A. and ask for any new
