Letitia Brown, ’37, Delineates Or-

‘Common Room, April 20.—Another
major office was handed over to the
incoming régime when Letitia Brown,

Mawr League--made her farewell
speech and handed the gavel to Mary
Whalen, ’38. Her greatest problem,
said Miss Brown, has been ‘in trying
to keep up with the committees who
worked well not. only individually,
but as a whole, and for that reason
have conducted the best drive the
League has had in two years. The
League started out as the Christian
Afsociation, supervising’ social service
work -and_ religious activities on
campus. Recently there has been a
distinct trend toward more geniality

The meeting was turned over to

hoped to follow the example.set by
this year’s president in working. with

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



The President—

Attended a meeting last Tues-
day of the Executive Committee
of the College Entrance Board
in New York City, and another
on Wednesday of the College

man of the College Entrance

board is Dr. Richard Gummere, |
a trustee of Bryn Mawr College

President Park spoke | last
Wednesday évening at a dinner
in Philadelphia given by the
Philadelphia Woman’s Univer-
sity Club and the American: As-
socjation of University Women
in honor of President Mary
Emma Woolley, of Mount.Holy-
oke College. Miss Frances Per-
kins was another speaker.

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,
