Social. Insurance
Is British Method
‘To Aid Unemployed



One of. System’s Discrepancies

» Ts Variance in Benefits
| From Agencies



WORKER’S ELIGIBILITY
IS HARD TO DEFINE

_Goodhart, April 19.—In the third
Shaw Lecture, on Social Services:
Their Working and Significance, Mrs.
Barbara Wootton outlined Britain’s
30 years’ experience with Old Age
Pensions, Widows’ Pensions, Unem-
ployment and Sickness Insurance and



“other forms of relief. Although the

idea of social insurance was at first
decried in England as_ impractical
and revolutionary, it is now accepted
in the most conservative programs.
Mrs. Wootton pelieves that public
opinion ‘should, in time, follow the
same course in, the United States,
though British methods of relief may
well be varied.

The determination of workers’
eligibility for relief is the most diffi-

cult problem ofthe Unemployment

Insurance System. General defini-

“tions of involuntary unemployment,

a reasonable job, or a subsistance in-
come, are almost impossible to formu-
late, but Unemployment _ Insurance
must be consistent’ and definite if it
is to be a true democratic system, in
which citizens have rights and du-
ties, and. not an arbitrary, handout
by the great “They” of impersonal
authority. Relief is far more degrad-
ing, and taken greater advantage of
under the latter system.

The dangers of degradation and
loss of initiative because of relief are
overrated, Mrs. Wootton believes.
The outcry (heard less and less in
England) against “living in luxury
on the dole” is also rather baseless.
The practical maximum of cer es in
England, for a family with fou
five children, is ten dollars a ok.
which hardly make a worker wish to
stay “on,” if he.could possibly find
work.

Efficiently organized Labor Ex-
changes must form a part of success-
ful Unemployment Insurance admin-
istration. If such agencies have a
complete registration of all vacancies
andyof all:the unemployed, with the
kinds of work to which they are ac-
customed and the incomes that they
need, the elimination of the volun-

“ tarily workless will be far easier.

Mrs. Wootton does not think that the
worker can be expected to go the
rounds of possible employers every
day to qualify as-an honest. searcher.

When may a worker reasonably
claim that a job offered him is unsuit-
able, insufficient, or irreconcilable
with his, and especially with~ her,
Practically no general
answers to these questions can be
found. There is now an unfortunate

Mikado Prepares ‘‘Source
Of Innocent Merriment” |”



Wigs and Make-Up Follow Sttict
Traditional Pattern »
Advance reports indicate’ that the
Glee Club’s Mikado is not ‘going to be
one of those impudent, off-hand’ op-
erettas. “The rehearsals last Thurs-
day and Saturday were ‘of unusually
fine caliber,’ stated Miss Irene
Ferrer, ’37, the head of the Glee Club,
“ordinarily, such quality comes only
in the last few days of practice be-
fore the performance itself.” Par-
ticular credit for this, she believes, is
due to Mr. Horace Alwyne, whois
giving more of his time to this year’s
operetta than ever before, and. to Mr.
Ernest Willoughby, who has trans-
posed and made reorchestrations of
the parts. of the original score, -in
order to bring it within the range of
the Glee Club’s voices.

The scenery, costumes and other
corroborative detail, intended: to give
an air of verisimilitude to the narra-
tive, are still largely a matter of
“shreds and patches.” Ann Wyld,
38, and Jean Quistgaard, ’38, are



constructing the scenery, with the ex-|

ception of one backdrop which has
been ordered from Philadelphia, and
Sophie Hemphill, ’37, is still hoping
for a brand-new set of footlights,
as the play is supposed to take place
in bright sunshine, except for one
twilight scene when Koko sings “Tit-
willow.” The costumes,, from Eaves’
of New York, will not. arrive until
Wednesday. Meanwhile, Katisha
(Helen Shepard, ’38), is rehearsing
with a long strip of unbleached mus-
lin tied around her waist to teach her
fellow-actors to avoid a future train.

The make-up, unlike the costumes,
will be in the strictest traditional
style of slanted’ eyes and elaborate
wigs. At one point” in the story,
Katisha has to seize Koko violently
by his pigtail, “and we: only hope,”
added Miss Ferrer; “that it doesn’t
come off!” Because of the make-up
schedule, which begins at five in the
afternoon, the cast’s supper will be
served in Goodhart at six o’clock on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

The single male member of the cast
has not yet appeared. He is Donald
Farrow, eight years old, the son of
one of Mr. Wjlloughby’s choirmen at
the Church of the Redeemer. He will
carry Koko’s axe-for him in his first
scene. Nor has’ the Glee Club re-
hearsed with the members of the
Philadelphia Orchestra who will ac-
company them. They will come only
for the dress-rehearsal on Thursday,
the 22nd, the night before the first
performance.
“And I wouldn’t be - surprised

Before the mighty hosts of Titipu!”

Neophite Geologists Return to Nature ~
In Frenzied Hunt for Flora and Fauna



Starting off Friday morning in a

: Grey Hound bus which resembled,

technically speaking, an overgrown
trilobite, ‘the-geology field trip pro-

Gap. Battling wind and cold, the 42
members observed and. recorded and
went on to Stroudsburg for the night.
The second day they hacked their way

.. west through the fossil beds to Tama-

qua.. On Sunday all but two donned
boots, hats and miners’ lights to de-
scend seven levels into a coal mine

experience they~ headed homeward

Tom Tippett Launches

Summer School Drive |



Labor Investigator’ Advocates!

/ Course as Help in Union
Organization



WILL AFFECT ALL CLASSES



Common Room, April 15.—‘Thé
most important thing which the Bryn
Mawr Summer School has. done,’
stated Mr. Thomas Tippett, as he
launched the drive for funds to sup-

port the Summer School, “is to elabo-}|..

rate for working women what trade
unions are.” Women with the knowl-
edge. and preliminary training which
the Summer ‘School gives can better
organize the unions and at the same
time improve the status of human
beings.

Therefore, the purpose of the Sum-
mer School is to. give women the op-
portunity to analyze world conditions.
When women are engaged in works
they learn about the social situation
from first hand contact with. low
wages and factory evils, but they can
not find the time to understand these
forces sufficiently to act upon them.
This group of workers is caught in a
civilization needing improyement and
in conditions needing organization, all
of which can only be achieved by me
educated.

The curriculum, for that reason, is
directed toward the study of Amer-
ica’s economic situation. The workers
are great in number, including many
college graduates. . Economic evils
which arise have their impact on the
lives’ of the workers who are an in-
tegral part of society. Therefore,
wherever the Summer School contrib-
utes toward labor improvements, the
people of all other groups are involved.

It is the order of history that the}

lower classes rise to take over re-
sponsibility placed in the hands of
the middle class. They have already
done this through politics, since the
workers share in the vote, and in
war prevention, since it is the worker
who ean refuse to fight or manufac-
ture armaments. : 6

America is pushing forward with
economic changes. The Supreme
Court’s decision on the Wagner Labor
Act which legalizes trade unions, is
another step forward. “As we pro-
gress, we must do so with intelligence |
and wisdom,” concluded Mr. Tippet.
“There is the hope that the Bryn
Mawr Summer School girl will leave
here and contribute to the improve-
ment of her own community.”



Hampton Quartet Sing
Folk-Songs, Spirituals



John Wainwright Gives Farewell
\ Solo Before Retiring



Deanery, April 18.—The Hampton
Quartet, paradoxically appearing as
a sextet, gave their annual recital
before a large and appreciative audi-
ence. With their beloved John Wain-
wright still maintaining his post as
bass, they presented a program of
traditional negro spirituals and folk-
songs, including such favorites as
I Got a Robe, Swing Low Sweet
Chariot, Water Boy and Mighty Lak
a Rose. Particularly effective was
their: rendition of Deep River, and
Have You Got Good Religion? There
was opportunity during the recital
for the individual members of the
group to display their fine voices in
solo passages. Mr. Wainwright, in

farewell, sang Ole Black Joe to the

accompaniment of. the muted voices
of the rest of the group, and it was
evident’ from. the response he evoked,
how much he will, be missed when he
resigns thisyear. after 50 years of
association with the Hampton singers.

Not the least entertaining part of
the 5 talk given. by4;
one of the members of the group,
}eoncerning the work done at Hamp-.
ton Institute, the school from” which
the quartet originates. Many were
surprised .to learn of the remarkable}
training offered to n students
seeking education in the ‘trades, mu-
sic and E arnene, vocations. ~ P. R. R

Bryn .Mawrters Attend
Five College Conference



PEAections, Permissions,, Exams Are
Compared in Discussion



(Specially, contributed by Barbgga
Colbron, ’37.)

April 17.—The annual Conference
of the-five--colleges, Vassar,—Smith,
Wellesley, Mount Holyoke and Bryn
Mawr was held this year at Wellesley.
The representatives from Bryn Mawr
were Suzanne Williams, ’38, Julia
Grant, "38, and Barbara Colbron, ’37.
The purpose of this conference is to
give the officers of. the College Gov-
ernment organizations an opportu-
nity to compare and discuss their
respective activities, regulations and
problems. \

At the opening meeting on Satur-
day morning, we discussed first, at
the request of Bryn Mawr, the method
of electing College Government offi-
cers. Because of the fact that the
other colleges gre very much bigger
than Bryn Mawr, their methods are
necessarily more complicated, but on
the whole, they seem more efficient.
In most of the colleges, nominations
are ‘made by. a._ special .-nominating

tives from the college organizations
and from the four classes. The names
of the nominees are posted about a
week before elections, and some effort
is made either by special badges,
photographs, or actual presentation,
to make the candidates known to the
college, . Vassar has a special chair-
man to manage all the elections.
Whether or not a nominating com-
mittee-is necessary here is a question
open. to@discussion, but undoubtedly
we would improve our present system
if we had a chairman such as Vas-
gar’s. Our system of voting itself
seems as satisfactory as any.

The second question concerned late
permissions and overnight permis-
sions. Just as last year, we. found
that our regulations are, — lenient
than those of the other colleges. Bryn
Mawr is the only college where the
students themselves. give permission.
and make a the regulations concern-

NEW ELECTION SYSTEM
REPORTED SUCCESSFUL



College Inn, April 15.—The eight-
een members of the College Council
met this evening at 6 o’clock for sup-
per and the regular: monthly discus-
sion. President Park exhibited the
architects’ plans for six possible loca-
tions.for the. new dormitory,-and—the
Council discussed the questions of ex-
cused cuts for delegates to intércol-—
legiate conferences and of the possi-
bility of establishing some course: in

4|debating or public speaking.

Mrs. Manning brought up the ques-
tion of excused cuts, explaining that
it had been her policy to grant them
to the delegates to the annual Self-
Government Conference and to stu-
dents whose field work for regular
courses occasionally interfered with
classes. For example, she felt. that
geology students should be given ex-
cused cuts for the annual long field
trip, and, that politics students might
be given them for such meetings as
the Model League of Nations Confer-
ence and those recommended by the
various departments. She has not in
the past given students cuts. when
they leave campus to participate in
publicity projects, such as the broad-
cast last. year for the benefit of May
Day. Miss Park said that she herself
received a great many requests each
year for delegates. to different’ col-
legiate conventions, and that the vari-
ous college clubs ‘and organizations
received so many more that it would
be impossible for the. undergraduates
to be represented at all of them.
Peace councils are especially numeroys

Jand Mrs. Manning felt it is appropri-

ate that any one.who has confidence
enough in such a movement to wish
to join it should sacrifice hér own time
in order to do so.

SITUATION IN SPAIN ”
WILL BE DISCUSSED





A group of faculty and students on -
the campus, interested in the success
of the Spanish government, consider
that inquiries into the facts leading up
to the” present critical situation in
Spain, which has aroused nation-wide
discussion, would. be fruitful. Conse- —
quently a series-of talks and discus-
sions about Spain has been planned
where people well acquainted with the
situation will submit their reasons for
taking the side of the government.’
One of these will be a discussion of
the MacReynolds. Neutrality Bill.

On May 6, Anna Louise Strong,
former Bryn Mawr student, author of
‘many widely read books, such as
China’s Millions and I Change Worlds,
will tell of her recent travels through
Spain.

On_ April 21 at 7.30 p. m., in the
Drawing Room of Radnor Hall, Inez

Munoz, Spanish social worker in
Philadelphia, will speak and lead a
discussion. All those interested in

gaining a. more complete .and unified
view of the situation as a whole are
invited. We urge those who are: in-
terested in both“sides of the question

to come and bring their friends.

U naccustomed as We Are—

.- At the College Council meeting Thursday night, one of the major
topies of discussion was the subject of debating or public speaking
organizations on campus. During the last few years there have been
no debating teams or any organization which would undertake to pre-
pare a debate, even in answer to various invitations received from
other colleges. Therefore, many undergraduates who have plans for
careers, such as teaching and lecturing of all kinds which involve
speaking in public and “thinking on their feet,” have missed. opportu-
nities for experience which might prove very valuable. Moreover, it
....l8 almost certain that an extracurricular debating club scheduling
several debates a year,’ would demand so much time for adequate
preparation that interest would soon drop off. There is little evidence
at present on the campus that anyone is interested in debating to the
exclusion of everything else. The obvious solution, then, if there is
a large enough group wanting the training, is that they request a‘tralf-
‘unit' course in publie speaking for credit.

In 1931 and 1932 such a course was ‘offered ernaut: the generosity
of Dr: George Woodward, father of Quita Woodward, 32; but it was
discontinued because of lack of demand. Despite this, ‘a differently
organized course might be popular if more attention were paid to
extemporaneous speaking, debating, rebuttal, and political or semi-
political topics. :

Some Rudsbaradontes have suggested that the diction course, be
reorganized to include instruction and practice in public speaking and
parliamentary procedure. The only difficulty with the plan is to find

a suitably :yersatile instructor, since training in the two fields is very].

seldom co-drdinated. Nevertheless, the Faculty Curriculum Committee
will diseuss plans for either a course for credit or one combined with.
required diction, if there is evidence that plenty. of students will want
to take it. nit

: The Liberal Point of View

In this column we are constantly faced with the diffictlty of the
liberal point of view. By this “liberal” we mean trying to approach
issues-from an unbiased stand, not liberal in its pink sense. Bryn Mawr
prides itself on the former type of liberality and we have taken over
the worship of the dogma that there are two aspects to every question.
This is a good fault, but it is a fault. It tends. toward a policy which
is no policy and a lack_of definite action for fear of acting natrow-
mindedly. :

Presenting such things as the necessity, for improvement in the
lighting system does not raise this spectre because these are things’ on
which we all agree. There is no quéstion whether or not we need
more light; everyone who has smuggled in 60 watt. bulbs or who

‘ carefully hides her double socket“each morning knows we do.
political theory and cyirfent events there are several difficulties. The
board itself is divided as to its political views so that a united policy
in polities is. impossible; but more fundamentally the liberal point of
view is our stumbling block.
another are we considering the problem from all angles? ..Are we well
enough informed to present it from any angle whatever? —

We want to adopt as strong. a policy as ‘possible and still remain

» liberal. Political opinions and ideas on standing problems which, in

- most of us, are ingrained by our past or our predjudices so as to. be
quite immovable, we will leave untouched. By discussion of such
basic problems we cannot hope to influence general opinion or produce
anything more constructive than annoyances in those who hold views
differing from ours. However, we intend to discuss and express our
opinions on new events in the political field. and more particularly
events ieneeneine academic life, in this column.

PUBLIC OPINION





[The request of a week's’ reading
period for seniorss before final exami-
nations is a vital issue on campus.
The following letter expresses the
senior stand on the subject—Ed.}

To the Editor of The College News:

This letter is written in the hope of
bringing before the whole: college—
students and faculty—the serious need
which the seniors feel for a week’s
reading period prior to the final ex-
We find to-
day. an enormous amount of work to
be done and inadequate time in which
to do it. Under the present schedule,

‘classes continue until Friday, May

14, and examinations: begin on Mon-
Classes have always
cofitinued until the Friday before
Monday examinations, but the seniors
feel that the new finals necessitate /a
longer preparation period. Although
we realize that this review should
have -been spaced through the’ whole
year and that the system igs still in
the experimental stage, we’ feel that
a week will always be necessary for
the, intergration of so much material.

We are very grateful to those de-
partments which have. carefully pre-
pared their students for the examina-
tions, both by directly pertinent con-
ferences and by specific review study
and especially to those. departments
which have volunteeréd exeused cuts
during the last week of classes. On
the other’ hand, some departments

have shown lack of cooperation and|

have given no indication of what to
expect in the third week in May. Such
an indication, coming now, seems al-
most. futile unless we are given the
time in which to make use of its In
view. of the position in which we find
ourselves, we would like. to make two
proposals, which seem not only sensi-
ble but necessary if we are to do our-
selves, and the college, justice on
these examinations.

First, we request, that seniors be
given excused cuts from their elective
and required courses—at their own
risk—during the last week of classes.
If the professors examine us on ma-
terial covered in that last week, the
loss shall be ours. We realize that
the administration has been generous
in releasing us from examinations
our elective subjects, but we feel
obliged to ask for more, We are con-
vinced that a completely free week is
absolutely essential to prepare for the
final examinations in the major field,
if the wide range of material is to. be
covered.

Secondly, we feel it impiative that
seniors be released from major work
during the last week. Since the
avowed purpose of the new system is
to give the student a broad view of
the field, we believe that the import-,
ance of an ifitegrating review far out-
weighs that of the last three lectures
and their. connected reading and
laboratory work. In any. case, we do
not see. how we can carry new work
and at the same time give the neces-
sary, uninterrupted concentration to
our review.

We have heard that all of the col-
leges in the Five College Conference,
which give such final examinations,
give their seniors at least a week’s
reading period directly before.the ex-
aminations. We ask for that same
minimum. iy

This letter has been read and ap-
proved by. a majority of the Senior
Class. ; .

Theater Review.

_ Arresting titles are no more uncom-
mon than any other sort of bright
idea; but their prormnise is not always
substantiated and the audience tempt-
ed by a striking marquee is all .too
often forced to resign itself to some
well-worn theme. One of the most
gratifying features of Susan and God
is the fact that its name jis apt as
well as clever, and that the derlying
theme, if. not entirely unusual, is at
least approached in-a’ new -way.-The
practability of religion is a problem
of current interest, but it has not. yet
been devitalized by consistent exploit-
ation in the theater. Rachel Crothers
has picked a good dramatic stock and
she has put a complicated idea across
with all the punch, if not the clarity,
that it deserves.

‘A selfish woman, who is amusing
herself with the sensation of Buch,
manite confessional, agrees to devote
herself to an hitherto neglected daugh-
ter and drunkard husband who has
bargained to grant her a divorce if
he slips up even once. At/the end
of the summer she falls in love with
him again and through her- forgive-
ness and ‘through her appeal to some
outside force in a sincere desire to
help him, shé unconsciously has an
actual religious experience. This
situation becomes/increasingly absorb-
ing and the mounting suspense’is held
up until the final curtain line, ‘Oh
God, please don’t let me down!” Con-
sequently the last act is the strong-
ést and the first the weakest: of all
three. /This is not a bad fault and
infinitely better than the reverse, but
the whole play would be improved if
the first act’ were not confined ex-
clusively to exposition and gave some
indication of the direction which the
action is to take.

The cast is excellently chosen : it
would be difficult to imagine any one
but Gertrude Lawrence»as Susan
Trexel. Her own native’ couthness,
her understanding of character, her
sense of comedy and. her power of
building up and sustaining a tense,
nervous scene are put into full play.
Someof ‘the lines come’so naturally
that they seem to ha¥e sprung from
Miss Lawrence herself. “Tiens, tigns,”
she snaps at a precocious boarding-
school.miss who pours forth sudden
torrents of polite, French.

Nancy Kelly is painfully and un-
theatrically adolescent as Blossom
Tréexel, Susan’s daughter. The rela-
tionship between the two, beginning
with Susan’s discouraged view of her
daughter’s glasses, braces and lumpy
figure and ending with a mutual affec-
tion and understanding, is shown in
a number .of exceedingly well-played
scenes—touching and very real.

Bert Lytell plays the difficult part
of the husband with feeling. He. is
responsible for the impact of a num-
ber of strong scenes, as when he
walks drunkenly -into a roomful of
people and, overhearing his wife prate
dramaticaliy to another man about
the forgiveness: of God, lays a bunch
of roses at her feet in gratitude for
hope-renewed.-

The newness of the play is felt
chiefly in its direction. The scenes
invol¥ing many characters are maneu-

‘on the stage being occasionally re-
duced to a musicless Going to Jerusa-
lem in which every one moves progres-
sively around the stage, following
each other from chair to chair. This
is made all the more noticeable be-
cause of the unusual position of one
of these chairs It is set stiffly out
in the limbo of center front stage and
automatically cuts off its recumbent
from the action that is going on be-

{hind her back.

A few weeks of production would
probably end these technical weak-
nesses, but whether the idea of the
play could be clarified and sharpened
by some sort of revision, will remain
uncertain until its opening in New
York next fall. M. O.

ABROAD AT HOME





In the village of Brfy Mawr there
are few people who are conscious that
the college~ exists, except when re-
minded by signposts and stockingless
females. Over Névins Cut Rate Drug
Store, however, is a tailor, Francis B.
Hall, who not only knows that the
college exists, but also has enough in-
terest in it to perpetuate its buildings |
and” tradition” in’ oil:

Last May Day he drew sketches
of the last-minute chaos in front of
Pem, the actual procession with its
four gleaming oxen, and the dance
around the Maypole. . When he went
home: he translated the sketchy out-
lines into colorful oil paintings which
now.,decorate the walls of his shop.
Besides May Day pictures he has done
two views of Goodhart, a picture of °
Rockefeller from the campus side and
two or three others which he keeps at
home.

Mr. Hall has lived here for 25 years.
He first had his shop opposite the
Humphrey house (Bryn Mawr used
to be called Humphreyville, you re-
member) until he had to move across

| the street to a second-story establish-

ment.

We asked Mr. Hall to reminisce.
The result was as follows: One day
a member of ‘the Harrington house-
hold (now the Vaux estate in back

,|of Merion and Denbigh) was pouring

some milk. into a saucer for the cat,
when there was a knock on the door.
Returning after a brief intermission,. --
the person found kitty lying dead be-
Slaves. had been

On Gulph Road, beyond Roberts.
Road, is a milestone with three round’

‘balls which really aren’t balls at all.

When William Penn was marking out
the road he got hungry, went into a
cottage where a ‘pleasant English
women provided him with an apple
dumpling. He liked it so well that
she very kindly presented him with
two more, and so great was his grati-
fication that when he left the house
he immediately inserted three apple
dumplings on the milestone. _

The Buck Inn on Montgomery Pike

‘somewhere near Haverford was once

the scene of Revolutionary moorings.
Washington, on his way to Valley
Forge from Whitemarsh, stayed there
with all his troops, horses, etc. The
story goes that soldiers had to pump
water for twenty-four hours straight
in order to get enough for themselves:
and’ all the horses. The amazing
thing is that during that time the
water didn’t recede even a quarter of
an inch, -

To return from reminiscence to bare
fact, Mr. Hall has seen only one May
Day, at which we expressed great
surprise, but he explained that he
lived too near. Twenty-three years
ago, however, he made costumes for
some of the plays. This extraordinary
villager has retained an interest in
the college since that time.

. Of Year at Inauguration of Officers}

.







Goodhart, April 15,—At a combined
mass meeting of the Self-Government

. and Undergraduate Associations, Bar:

bara Colbron, ’37, and Esther Harden-
bergh, ’37, retiring presidgnts of the
two organizations, read their reports
covering the year 1936-37 and. then
gave over their ‘insignia.of. office to
Suzanne Williams, ’38, and Julia
Grant, ’38, respectively. The treas-
urers of the two organizations then
read their annual reports.

Barbara Colbron opened the meet-
ing. with her report of the activities
of the Self-Government Association
during the past year. She declared
that, according to all records, it has
been unusually quiet. The first im-
portant venture of the year was
the complete revision of the fresh-
man handbook, and then the.super-
vision of Freshman Week. The
major change in the schedule was the
substitution of May Day movies for
the usual “discouraging” all-female
dance. The self-government regula-
tions were also completely revised and
brought up to date, with the elimina-,
tion of certain definite permissions.

Thirty-one students came up before
the Self-Government board for various
offenses. In general the penalties
were as severe this year as they have
been in the past, but the board tried
to give more campusing penalties than
fines.

The Undergraduate Association’s
activities have been much more varied,





as indicated by Esther Hardenbergh’s
report. It planned and arranged fhe
torch-light election parade of last
autumn, the new ‘Alumnae Weekend,
which the alumnae hope to continue
in the years to come, the beginning of
the clean-up campaign ‘on. Library
books and: the new simplification’ of
election procedure, as well as the in-
novations initiated by some of the sub-
committees, such as the Curriculum
Committee and the Quota Committee.
The former has made suggestions to
the Faculty Curriculum Committee on
the subject of Required English. Lit-
erature, American Literature and
Undergraduate Major in Social Econ-
omy. The Entertainment Committee
has planned a system whereby stu-
dents can be admitted to some of the
campus programs without cost because
of the payment of dues.

The following are excerpts from the

speeches of the two retiring presi-
dents:

Report of the Chairman of the-Self-
Government Association, April, 1936-
April, 1937:

‘‘This year life on the Self-Govern-
ment Board has been comparatively
peaceful. This can be explained in one
of two ways: either the undergraduates
have behaved better than usual; or, on
the contrary, they have become more
subtle in. their sinning. I leave you to
draw your own conclusions. ve

‘*When some of you think of the Self-
Government Board and the Hall Presi-
gents, I’m afraid you think first of all
ofy the.penalties which we are forced to

le out.” Actually, however, we do
much more than that.

¥

‘*F should like’ to take this oppor-
tunity of ‘thanking the heads pf A. A,,
Undergraduate Association er the
League, as well;as all the-members of
the Reception Committee, for the work
they did. during those hectic days . .
(of Freshman Week),
cooperation, we can smugly boast that
everything went unusually well. As
most of you know, we changed the fresh-
man reception by substituting a per-
formante of the May. Day movies for
the traditional female dance—a_ dis-
couraging: reception for any _ fresh-
man. I think every one felt that this
was .an improyement.:» However,
shéuld like to remind next year’s chair-
man‘ ‘that the combined volumne of the
freshman class and their student ad-
visers far exceeds that of thé Common
Room—some: more suitable place should
have been chosen for serving refresh-

Thanks to their

ments. ...

‘*Thirty-one.studerits in all came up
before the board. Some of you may
have noticed. that there are more cam-
pusing penalties than fines. -Several
members of the board feel that fines,
except, for special-.things, are unfair.

One dollar may mean more to one per-
son than five dollars to. another.

‘*We have tried in general to be more
or less lenient for first offenses, because
after all the whole point of the board
is to get across to the rest of the stu-

e@eients the meaning of and reason
the regulations. To do this it is not
always necessary to inflict penalties.
In the four second offenses with which
we had to deal we were far more severe.

‘‘The final event of: the year con-
cerned a misunderstanding between thé
college authorities and the Self-Govern-

ment——Association, The authorities
understood that we give special permis-
sion to be out after 10.30. It is- only

for entertainments in Philadelphia and

the vicinit?, mot for Princeton, New
York, Baltimore and Washington. It is
not necessary to point out to most of

you ‘that the student interpretation of
these rules has been quite different for
at least the past four years. After dis-
cussing the whole question the board has
decided to ask that no permission be
given to students to drive back to col-
lege after 10.30 from distances further
than Philadelphia and the vicinity—but
the vicinity is to be interpreted so that

gram of peace work in the rural areas
of the nation. . Enlistment is-open. to
all young men and waqmen of-college
age and older, without regard to race
and creed: Harold Chance, national
director of the Youth: Section of the
E.P. C,,’is_ in charge, . sin

Field secretaries..are now going
from- campus to campus. recruiting
volunteers for about eight weeks’ ser-
vice during July and August. Last
year 250 students from more than a
hundred colleges worked in the rural
areas in 42 units. Each unit con;
tained three or four workers.

These peace volunteers spoke be-
fore clubs, young people’s societies,
granges, churches and labor groups;
they organized peace councils in local
communities; they staged. plays; ar-
ranged displays, organized library and
trade exhibits, wrote newspaper artic-
les, spoke over the radio and inter-
viewed politicians and persons in all
walks of life.

These. volunteers will again’ be
trained at-five Institutes_of Interna-
tional Relations before being sent out
on active duty.. The location and time
of ,these institutes are as follows:

Non-Resident Tea
Common Room, April 15.—The non-
residents.entertained their friends and
members of the faculty at a tea. Lu-

cille Ritter, ’37, acted as hostess.



»The, kind, of volunteer desired was
outlined by the director, Mr. Chance.
The applicant must be strong mentally
and physically and must have a
factual background in world affairs.
and social problems, coupled with per-
sonal leadership. These volunteers
“musty exemplify-the spirit of recon-
tiliation and tolerance which is as
necessary to peace as the spirit of in-
tolerance is to war.”

Each Yolunteer must be responsible
for his share of the total expenses,
which include transportation, train-’
ing, maintenance in the field, ad-
ministration costs, supervision, books
and literature. The cost of each
worker will be $150. Last year, col-
lege authorities, clubs, churches and
individuals contributed for.the volun-
teers’ support. “This year the field
secretaries will cooperate in the rais-
ing of the needed funds.

Ray Newton, executive director of
the E. P, C., sees this summer cam-
paign as “an effective and adventurous
program of action in rural America
and in college communities.” It calls
for idealism, loyalty and ‘courage.’
The Student Volunteers can aid di-
rectly in rousing public determination
never to send American men and ships
beyond our borders to fight in foreign
wars, and in encouraging international
cooperation. ee ‘

Four Howes” Chases Small Malis



With Madrigals and Quaint Instruments



The Deanery, April 18.—The “Four
Howes,” their madrigals, their vir-
ginals and their recorder, finally ar-
rived on Sunday and sang and played
to an enthusiastic_audience, consist-
ing largely of musically minded Phila-
delphians. As far as the college was
concerned, their ‘coming was probably
unexpected; glancing about us we ob-
served three undergraduates and ap-
proximately one member of the: fac-
ulty. There are doubtless many con-
sequently ‘who would be grateful for
a definition ° a virginal, a recorder
or even a madrigal.

In The Concise Oxford Dictionay
the virginal, is defined as a “square
legless spinet, used in 16th-17th cen-
turies.” Suffice it to say* that it is
not legless and not particularly
square, and sounds like a cross be-
tween a music-box and the twang of
a rubber band. The recorder is “an
obsolete instrument of the flute kind,”
_shiny and wooden, and fortunately no
longer obsolete. And the madrigal,
‘which composed four-fifths of the
Howes’ program, is a “part-song for
several voices, prop. with elaborate
contrapuntal imitation and without in-
strumental accompaniment.”

Most of the madrigals were sung
by all four Howes, which made the
range of “contrapuntal imitation”
more elaborate, and at the same time
‘more pleasing. ~ They sang sitting
down, taking the pitch fronmr”a note

which Mrs.. Howe struck on the vir-
| ginal. Their singing was delightful,
with just the right proportions of skill
and unprofessionalism. Most familiar
of all was Thomas Morley’s Now Is
the Month of Maying, recalling the
dry heat of May Day = flying Eliza-
bethan. feet.

Next Mrs. Howe and Calderon
played a sonata, specially. composed
by Handel for the virginal and
recorder. The virginal and _ the
recorder have nothing of the purity
of tone of their modern grandchil-
dren, the piano and flute. It is their
peculiarly vibratory character and
abi ae of volume that brings
one back to thé ‘ethnpldity of the Ox-
ford Dictionary’s “obsolete” past.

Calderon also played several short
pieces on the virginal, pointing out
the bass notes beforehand, slightly
reminiscent of the bagpipes, and show-
ing what an extraordinary range the
virginal has in spite of its limita-
tions.

What distinguished the Howes from
professional singers was the. perfectly
unféigned pleasure they. seemed to get
from their actual performance. On
the back of the program Mrs. Howe
says that it “is of such pleasure to
the performers they cannot but hope
the auditors catch some of it.” The
audience hoped that the performers
would catch some of its pleasure—a
cheerfully vicious circle.



Council Discusses
Dormitory- Designs




Continued from Page One
graduates whether Bryn Mawr _ had
ever done any extra-curricular debat-

ing. She said that she had received

two requests this year from other col-

leges to join them in a debate, but
both came at inopportune times, Mrs.

Chadwick-Collins recalled that there

had been debating clubs on campus

within the last few years, but that

the interést was usually confined to
» a small group of people and died out
‘ when. they were graduated. Mrs.
Manning said that there had been a
rather unsuccessful course in’ public
speaking connected with the English
Department, which had attracted only
very small groups of people. She said
that credit could be given for such
a course again if a good instructor,
could be found, and if the students
manifested enough interest. The
work involved in preparing a debate
is considerable, and it is doubtful
‘whether an extra-curricular debating
club could launch itself successfully
here.

The college women of this country
‘are not usually so well equipped to
speak in public as English women
are, Miss Park remarked, possibly be-
cause the Eiéglish sehools and uni-
versities pay quite a bit of attention

to debating. She felt that a public

speaking. course would definitely have

its place in a college curriculum if

the students wanted it, and suggested
that it could perhaps be given alter-
nate years. Politics and ‘sociology
majors seem most interested in the
possibility, and the Council felt that
if an instructor could be found he
should be capable of dealing with these

* .-subjects, and that the subjects of the
speeches and ‘debates should receive
as much attention as the fonmnetsipe of

speaking.

Miss -Park told the Gouneil that the
plans and specifications for the science
building. ing completed rapidly
and that
summer so that some sort of a cere-
mony will be scheduled for Commence-
ment Week. The plans for the Li-
brary wing are proceeding more slowly,
but the present sehedule provides that
all three buildings shall be done. by

* October, 1988. The Council looked at
the oad? mmeeterind various suggested



fork will begin early this}

sites for the. new dormitory. If pos-
sible ‘tt will be a single building with
two wings, like Pembroke, holding

about sixty students in each. There
will be separate public x00ms and one
large dining room divided by a sliding
door, so that it will combine the con-
venience of a large room for banquets
or dances with-the pleasantness and
quietness “of .a small room. Miss
Ward, Miss Howe and Esther Harden-
bergh saw a dining room like this at
Smith when they inspected various
college dormitories last month.

The four possible positions for -the
dormitory at present are: Ely Pad-
dock; the bottom of Wyndham Gar-
den, along Lombard Avenue; behind
Goodhart, near the Deanery, and along
the hill next the President’s house.
If it’ were placed on Ely Paddock
across from Rockefeller, it would have
to correspond to the latter, which is
the most expensive dormitory on cam-
pus.in style. In all probability, also,
a building in this space wold not
hold. as many as a hundred and
twenty-five students. If it were placed
‘opposite Wyndham, it would use col-
lege~ground which has been idle up
to now, thus practically extending the
campus, but it would be rather far
from the Gymnasium and the new sci-
ence building. The site behind Good-
hart is large and level eriough for a
building housing a hundred or more,
but it almost crowds the Deanery, and
perhaps stands in the way of the pro-
jected Theater Workshop. Miss Park
reminded the Council that the Dean-
ery is probably a more temporary
building than the new dormitory will
be. The situation next to Miss Park’s
house is.a beautiful place for a build-
ing, but there is not space enough for
more than’ seventy-five students. If
the Alumnae Association :decides. to
turn Wyndham into the President’s
House,
could be disregarded and “the new
building could be as-large-as neces-
sary. Wyndham is old and likely to
suffer from very many more years of

appropriate for the President, since
it was originally the farmhouse and
headquarters for the land which is
now thé college campus. If the new
dormitory were built in sections_it
would be possible for the President to
move to Wyndham before her’ house

The representatives of the Quota

-| Committee reported that the decision
had been made that no one.shall be|
able to move from hall to hall in the}

middle of the year without permis-
sion from the committee. An old rule
has been revived, permitting students
in Rockefeller who have connecting
rooms to draw in_other students who
would otherwise have to enter the
General Draw..Even under this sys-

tem Rockefeller students will not be}.

able to draw in as many outsiders as
other. halls can, which have double
suites. Miss Park suggested making
an ‘estimate of the comparative num-
ber of rooms in Rockefeller and let-
ting Rockefeller draw in as many as
other halls can.

The four class presidents reported
that the system of class’ election of
class representatives to. the various
campus. organizations had - worked
well and that elections -had~been
speeded ’ uj, quite a bit. They_ sug-
gested that next year’they begin 1 éven
earlier and be finished before Spring
Vacation rather*than two weeks after,
as they were this year. Mr's. Chad-
wick-Collins suggested that class nom-
inating committees might be formed
to. increase efficiency and. give the
classes time to discuss candidates.
Lucy Kimberly said that the system
had been started by the class of 1937,
but dropped after a short trial. ae

Miss Park, for-the benefit of the
new members, reviewed the discussion
by~the last Council of general honors
based on averages. She said that
Bryn Mawr had founded them some
time ago at the request of certain
alumnae who said that it was easier
to-get jobs if-yne could point to a
cum laude average.. The faculty is
divided in opinion about general hon-
ors, although they voted alfrrost unani-
mously to retain the degree with dis-
tinction in a certain subject.- Miss
Park does not feel that cwm laude hon-
ors signify anything about a student’s
record beyond the fact that she is,a
reasonably good student. ‘The tradi-
tion in the past has been that the
Bryn Mawr A. B. should stand for a
certain degree of excellence by itself.
She asked the Council to think over
and discuss the question before the
joint meeting with the old Council in
May.

In welcoming the new members of
the Council to their first meeting, Miss

been customary to have the discussions
during and after supper. It, is com-
posed of nine student and nine faculty
representatives and is. just small
enough to make general discussion
possible. Miss Park explained that
although the question of including
other student representatives has come
up once or twice in the past, the Coun-
cil has preferred:to ask ¢ertain ‘stu-
dent officers for single meetings to
discuss their particular problems,
rather than to make them permanent
members. The Council has absolutely
no power or significance in itself, but
is useful to Miss Park and other mem-
bers of the administration as a con-
tact with the student body and as @
means for presenting campus ideas.

call “home,’* the children wandering
about the trash-littered streets, and
then the same clittdren were shown
learning how to play in their new
“tot-lots’”—makeshift playgrounds.

The “tot-lots” are usually built at
the,end of a court where: houses have
been demolished or have fallen—a not
uncommon occurrence in the city of
brotherly love. Three hundred chil-
dren can be accommodated in: these..
playgrounds, of. the 100,000 impover- —
They
gladly come where milk and crackers
is a daily feast, and where flowers—
unfanfiltar in South Philadelphia—
are distributed to one and all.

There are only six of these havens
altogether. Five hundred dollars will
cover all the costs of building,, with
100 dollars left over for milk, and
other. things. A Bryn Mawr “tot-
lot”? was suggested as a future philan-
thropic endeavor, the. possibility of
which should not be overlooked. ;

The innate love of beauty possessed
by all these children was stressed by
Mr. Fleisher. They have as keen an
appreciation of artistic design, color
and music as the child who has been
influenced: by them since infancy. A
chance to develop these artistic poten-
tialities is. all these children ask.

Mr. Fleisher’s idealism has taken
concrete form in the Flowers for the
Flowerless movement, the Graphic
Sketch Club which conducts free..art
classes, the unique Circulating Pic-
ture Club. The Cultural Olympics,
under the sponsorship of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, is his most re-
cent contribution to the cultural
milieu of Philadelphia.

‘Common Room, April 20.—Another

said Miss Brown, has been ‘in trying

but as a whole, and for that reason

League has had in two years. The
League started out as the Christian

campus. Recently there has been a
distinct trend toward more geniality

DR. VAN DUSEN WILL .

SPEAK ON APRIL 25}



(Especially contributed by Jean
Cluett, ’87.) . ‘

We are fortunate in having Rev-
erend Henry Pittney Van Dusen, dis-
tinguished preacher, . educator and
author, to conduct the April 25 chapel
service. A Princeton graduate, Dr.
Van Dusen received his B.D. degree
from Union Theological Seminary’ of
New York, and his PhD. from Edin-
burgh University. He was ordained
into the Presbyterian Ministry in
1924. For several years he -has taught
systematic theology and the philosophy
of religion at the, Seminary, and has
been. Dean of Students there for five
years. He is a Fellow of the National
Council, on Religion in Higher Edu-
cation, and a member of the Ameri-
can Theological Society. Among the
books he ‘has written, In Quest of
Life’s Meaning and ‘God in. These
Times are especially ‘well known. -

Topics suggested to Dr. Van Dusen

dnave been: “Does anything we do

matter?”, “Hew does religion recon-
cile itself with science?”, “Is God
created by man?’, and he will prob-
ably choose one of these or a similar
question as his subject of this, Sun-
day’s address. Juniors and seniors
will remember him as a powerful, pro-
vocative speaker whose approach is
from a philosophical point of view.



Bryn Mawrters Attend
College -Conference

just before spring vacation. Then
they ate ready to go into action as
soon as°vacation is over. Vassar and
Bryn’ Mawr hope to. adopt this
schedule.

From ‘this, the conversation di-
gressed to a general discussion of
comprehensives. Smith gleefully pro-
claimed that they had no such things
except for honors students, Wellesley
has one general exam in the major
field, and Mount Holyoke‘ has already
hadits exams. There) the seniors
take their comprefiensive two weeks
after Spring vacation, but they have

.|to take finals in all their subjects as

well. Vassar is in the same. experi-
mental stage that we are, and we
both discreetly refrained from passing
any judgments on the matter. All
colleges except Bryn Mawr have a
week’s reading period before these
exams.

After lunch we. discussed the
broader questions of Peace, W.S.F.A.,
and the A.S.U. All the colleges are
taking part in the so-called ‘Peace
Strike.” Most of the representatives
objected to the word “strike,” how-
ever, and several of the colleges are
making a point of calling it a “demon-
stration.” The plans vary somewhat,

but all five of the colleges are hoping |

to make the demonstrations as digni-
fied as possible—“appealing to the
intellect rather than to the emotions.”

None of us felt that the N.S. F.A.
offered much to these five colleges.
Wellesley has resigned. There is no
general interest in the organization,
although at Smith, Vassar and Mount
Holyoke there are small groups which

are active ‘in it.

All ‘the colleges, except Mount
Holyoke, have branches of the A.S.U:
The membership tends to be small,
because the students feel that it in-
volves too definite a political stand.

At the close of: the meeting, there
was a general discussion of stealing,
library regulations, eating in other
halls and faculty contact with stu-
dents. Bryn Mawr is not the only
college that,. has ‘the problem of
marked books; but it is the only one
in which the undergraduates them-
selves have taken matters into their
own hands and have provided the
funds to finance erasing.

Bryn Mawr is the only place where
freshmen have to exchange for meals.
At the other. colleges, if there is not
enough room in one dining room for a
student. and-her. guests, they may go
on to the next hall. This is seldom
necessary, because usually enough peo-
ple are away for meals.

On Saturday night we had dinner
with President MacAfee and Mrs.
Ewing, the Dean of Residence. After
dinner Miss MacAfee spoke inform-

ally-on the place of student govern- |

ment in college communities, stress-
ing the value of cooperation between
faculty and students.

Although Bryn Mawr jis much
smaller than the other-four colleges,
it can, nevertheless, gain a lot from
these conferences. It is very enlight-
ening to’ see how we ‘compare with
other colleges, and how they handle
problems usuaMy quite similar to our
own,
