Enhance Plautean
Farce, ‘Little Spook’

Josephine Ham is Comedienne

Ot Talent; B. Lautz Creates
Uproar as Drunk





MARGARET LACEY, ’37,
TRANSLATOR OF PLAY

Goodhart, October 24.—The Ludi-
ones, Latin Players of Bryn Mawr,
presented their second annual Latin
play here tonight. The farce was a
translation of Plautus’ Mostellaria by
Margaret Lacey, ’37, entitled the
Little Spook. Josephine Ham, ’87,
and Peggy Otis, ’39, played the lead-
ing parts in their best comic style
and the whole cast did full justice to
the classical farce situations and the
1986 w:se-cracks.

The plot concerned the machinations
of a faithful slave, Tranio (J. Ham),
who -welcomed his master back from
a three years’ sea voyage with an
elaborate ‘hoax intended to conceal
from him the knowledge that his son
had been wasting his fortune on wine
and women in his absence. Tranio
was forced to inform his master, Theo-
propides (P. Otis), that the money
which was wasted had gone for a
down-payment on a new house, be-
cause his old house was haunted. This
story did not deceive the old man long,
and the last scene portrayed his anger
and the slave’s profane efforts to es-
cape punishment.

Jo Ham proved herself an excel-
lent comedienne and male-impersona-
tor, for never once did she seem to be
a girl acting like a boy. Peggy Otis
handled her part with a great deal of
vigor. Bunny Lautz, 37, gave an
uproarious performance as a_ very
gay Athenian drunkard, and Sarah
Meigs, ’39, did wonders with two as-
sorted bit parts.

The Mostellaria is not as well-con-
structed a play as the Menaechmi, but
the audience seemed to enjoy it quite
as well. This second successful Latin
play seems to prove that Roman com-
edy is not dead, and indicates a small
but attractive field of translation for
Latin majors who have no more
scholarly ambitions. ad. 7.





Director Chosen by Player’s Club

October 27.—At a meeting of the
Players’ Club, three possible plays
were discussed, one of which will be
performed in conjunction with Hav-
erford on December 5 and, 6. Noth-
ing definite was decided upon, but of
the three under consideration, Caste,
by Thomas Robertson, appeared to
be the most_popular. Next in order
came Bill of Divorcement by Clem-
ence Dane, and lastly Barry’s Holi-
day. Miss Katherine Quinn, of Cyn-
wyd, is going to direct the perform-
ance.

League to Open Drive
For Support of Camp



60 Tenement Children Benefit From
Two Weeks at Shore



(Especially contributed by Mary
Elizabeth Reed, ’37.)

Today the Bryn Mawr League is
beginning its drive for funds to sup-

the biggest undertaking of the League,
is a large cottage directly on the
beach at Avalon, New Jersey. During
a season’ of six weeks sixty children
come to the camp. They-come from
the crowded tenement districts of
Philadelphia, each for a period of two
weeks.

The camp staff consists of a head
worker and her assistant, the doctor,
the cook and maid, all of whom stay
throughout the season. In addition
four undergraduates come
from the college to act as councillors
for a two-week period with each
group of children.

The children are met in the Broad
Street Station in Philadelphia by the
councillors and are brought to Avalon.
The succession of rides in taxi, ferry,
train and .bus is novel to many of
them. After their arrival they are
bathed, measured, weighed and then
dressed in the faded sweaters and
suits supplied by the camp.

Their routine is a simple one,—
play on the beach filling most of their
time. Crafts and short dramatiza-
tions of well-known stories afford
amusement both to the children and
the councillors.

Their idea of life is quite different
from what one would think. One
small girl, when asked her father’s
occupation, replied with enthusiasm,
“Oh, he’s a soldier! He fights with
my mother!”

The undergraduates of Bryn Mawr
annually face the problem of raising
money to carry on the summer camp.
It is only through the contributions

West Jersey Vanquishes Varsity, 5-2;
Bryn Mawr Eleven Lacks Confidence



Both Forward Line and Backs
Fail to Follow Up Shots
With Alacrity

Oct. 24—A conglomerate group of
West Jersey hockey players invaded
Bryn Mawr last Saturday to defeat
Varsity to the tune of 5-2. Bryn
Mawr never saw the ball after West
Jersey’s first two goals until near
the end of the game when it had
become impossible even to tie the
score. We were outplayed through-



out the entire game, although there.

were moments of temporary recovery.
We never got started, muffing the ball
whenever receiving a pass, and fail-
ing to follow up our own shots by
attacking the opponents who invari-
ably intercepted them. Our attempts
at stickwork were .feeble compared
to the brilliant dodges and scoops
which West Jersey employed to great-



| field resulting in loss of breath and
.| a slightly dazed condition on the part
lj of one of the victims. Excitement

pushed Varsity slowly back to the
other end of. the field where they
themselves could plunge the ball into
the goal. As a result, the score at
the half was 3-0.

Early in the second half West Jer-
sey tallied two more goals. Bryn
Mawr seemed helpless in the face of
defeat, but before the final whistle
several brilliant shots were converted
into scores for us. Marshall shot hard
across the goal, and Bakewell, who
was waiting for it, deflected it off the
end of her stick into the goal. For
the second point Marshall shot a goal
almost from the edge of the goal
circle. That was the last score made
during the game.

The game was not without acci-
dents and exciterhent. There were
various minor injuries such as mashed
thumbs and sore knees, but overtop-
ping these was the collision in mid-

was furnished by one of the Manning





dogs and his pal, the red setter.

Faculty Cover Varied
Subjects for Alumnae



Seal of Priest’s Daughter is
Rare Mycenaean Find at Dig,
Says Miss Swindler



SPANISH WAR EXPLAINED



Deanery, October 24.—Everything
from the revolution in Spain and the
Bryn Mawr “dig” in Cilicia, down to
Bryn Mawr comprehensives was men-
t'oned by the various members of the
faculty who spoke gat the alumnae
luncheon today. 3

Probably of most interest fromthe
undergraduate point of view was
Miss Swindler’s speech on the latest
findings of the Bryn Mawr “dig.”
The existence of a Mycenaean level
at Tarsus has been definitely estab-
lished. In this Mycenaean layer a
refuse pit was unearthed containing
typical Mycenaean pottery and fif-
teen seals. Among these seals was
one belonging to Poudouhepa, daugh-
ter of the priest of Ishtar, and wife
of the Hittite king, Hattusil III.
Since the date of Hattusil can be
fixed from the battle of Kadesh, which
he fought with Rameses II in 1305
B. C., this seal establishes the fact
that Cilicia was in the power of the
Hittites in the fourteenth century B.
C. The existence at, Cilicia of typical
Mycenaean pottery proves that the
Achaeans were in this country in the
fourteenth century. The director of
the “dig,” Miss Goldman, has been so
successful that she has been called to
the Archaeological Institute at Prince-
ton.

Mr. Gillet, choosing a subject out-
side any direct college connection,
spoke on the political situation in
Spain. The most sincere and the
most convinced of the leftist party

Freedom of

Mr. Wells Hails Four Major Successes of New Deal; Tammany
Methods Condemned by Mr. Stokes; Socialism Abhors

Exploitation



COMMUNISTIC: AIMS

ARE VIVIDLY DEFINED



Gymnasium, October 27.—The cam-
paign issue took on a new and unex-
pectedly intense content for the stu-
dents when three members of the fac-
ulty and one trustee of the college
spoke at the political symposium.
Miss Sylvia Wright, ’38, President of
the American Students’ Union, intro-
duced the speakers.

Mr. Roger Wells of the Economies
Department compared the Democratic
party policy to that ennunciated by
Aristotle, “a government of the mid-
dle’ way, one which reconciles oppos-
ing faction in the nation.”

Mr. J. Stogdell Stokes, a trustee of
the college, in speaking for the Repub-
lican party, denounced the “Tammany
methods” which have corrupted civil
service, and defended the integrity of
business, which he feels has been un-
justly slandered by the New Deal.

“Socialism believes in individual
freedom as against the individual
right to exploit,” said Professor Her-
bert A. Miller, of the Department of
Social Economy. He also stressed the
growing influence of socialism in all
phases of our political consciousness.

In expounding the Communist plat-
form, Miss Mildred Fairchild, of
the Department of Social Economy,
stressed the often-forgotten aspects of
the workers’ situation in America.
Miss Fairchild also stated that
whereas communism is international
in feeling, it necessarily intends to
adapt itself to the peculiar cultures
of the different countries.

Roosevelt’s Record

Comparing the records of the two
leading candidates for President, Mr.
Wells, Democratic speaker, stated that
while Landon’s record was “honest,”
it is in no way outstanding. Con-
trarily, “after four difficult and crit-
ical years,” Mr. Roosevelt’s achieve-
ment is plain. Though opponents
would obscure his progress with hints
at the danger of a dictatorship, even
as conservative an organization as
the American Bar Association denies
such charges in connection with him.

There have admittedly been mis-
takes in his actions. “However,” said
Mr. Wells, “if you view the dough-
nut (of political reform) through Re-
publican glasses, you will see only
the hole—or the deficit. We Demo-
crats believe that there is more to
the doughnut than the hole; that the
hole is not disproportionate to the
size of the doughnut.”

Republicans’ Mistaken Policies

“With strange logic the Republicans
would claim that though the prosper-
ity of the 1920’s was ‘due to their
rule,’ this recovery of 1933-36 is the
consequence of the automatic and



MRS. GILBRETH MEETS
STUDENTS NEXT WEEK



Mrs. Lillian Gilbreth, who is to be
vocational adviser to the college this
year, will make her first visit on
Thursday and Friday, November 5
and 6. She will have interviews with
students by appointment in Mrs. Man-
ning’s office on Thursday morning
from 9.30 until 1, and on Friday from
9 until 1. Students who wish to see
her at that time should make. appoint-
ments with Mrs. Crenshaw on the
third floor of Taylor any morning be-
‘tween 10 and 12. Groups of two or
three students who are interested in
the same type of work are urged to
make appointments at the same time
in order to save repetition.

On Thursday evening Mrs. Man-
ning will give an after dinner coffee
party in the Deanery at 7.30 for Mrs.
Gilbreth to meet seniors~and gradu-
ate students, and on Friday evening
a similar party for freshmen, sopho-
mores and juniors. -Invitations will,
be sent to those who signed the cards

mysterious operations of the business
cycles. As a matter of fact, while
the Republicans were not solely re-
sponsible for the depression, their mis-
taken policies with reference to the
tariff, international trade and inter-
national finances gravely aggravated
the crisis and brought the country to
the brink of ruin .. .”

Mr. Wells discussed the four major
fields in which the New Deal acted
to rescue the country from this pre-
dicament. He referred to agriculture,
business, labor and international re-
lations. .¢

Even more important than the re-
financing operations to alleviate farm
debts are the reciprocal trade agree-
ments which have opened up foreign:
markets to farmers and _ prevented
“dumping” at home. The New Deal
is now coping with the problems of
soil conservation and crop insurance.
The Republicans have adopted much
of this Democratic program, but
“have topped it off” with a bill, re-
jected as impractical by Republican
Presidents in the past. It calls for
unrestricted agricultural production,
the surplus of which is to be paid
for by the treasury. This is incon-
sistent with pleas for economy, and
“the budget must be balanced, no mat-
ter who gets in office.”

Mr. Alwyne’s Concert

ACOUSTICS LEVEL TONE



(Especially contributed by Eliza-
beth Jones.)

~wDeanery, October 25.—Among the
events of Alumnae Weekend in which
the whole campus was Fermnitted to
share, was Mr.. Alwyne’s recital,
given in the Deanery on Sunday af-
ternoon.. Mr. Alwyne, according to
his custom, made the program pleas-
antly informal, and the numbers in-
teresting historically and poetically
as well as musically, by brief explana-
tory comments.

The first composition to be played
was the chorale prelude, “Wachet auf,
ruft uns die Stimme,” arranged for
piano by Busoni. This was not the
too frequently heard Bach-Busoni
which approaches as a limit being all
Busoni. The latter’s hand has been
imposed here only in making the
necessary changes in a composition
for organ, in order that it may be
played on the pianoforte. In such al-
teration music both suffers and gains,
and it was evident that this chorale-
prelude was no exception. The pi-
anist who wishes to preserve the
original diversity of parts made for
the organist must, at the pianoforte,
sacrifice something in the balancing
and blending of these parts. On the
other hand, it is possible for the
artist to attain nuances of tone shad-
ing by means of the pianoforte to
which the organ does not lend itself.
This opportunity was very happily
taken advantage of in the ara-
besques which characterize this and

Let There Be Light!

For years the students have felt a grave need for a more adequate
lighting system in the college, but these complaints have been strictly
sub rosa and often bitter or unjust. Never have the students asked
audibly for what must be the reasonable explanation of lighting restric-
tions, and never have they presented concretely what they feel to be
adequate lighting. Yet no one can expect the college to heed mere
hangdog mutterings and exaggerated demands. It is anxious to know
precisely what the students want of their lighting system so that the
authorities may proceed to act.

This stalemate silence has gone on too long. The College News has,
‘therefore, undertaken to glean the facts in the case and to present all
possible angles of the situation. Next week we shall offer our readers a
comprehensive survey of the present lighting system, of the cost of
additional units to the powerhouse and of their maintenance, and the
possibilities and cost of turning a certain number of the buildings on
to the county circuit temporarily. This will be done in the hope that

a statement of the facts and figures involved may clear away both
on and conjecture.

In the meantime, no estimates on more light can be made by the
college “until it knows precisely how much more light the students
desire. A preliminary survey by the News*Board indicates the follow-
ing as the major and general requests of the students if the lighting
system could be made ideal. The present standard is based on two
outlets in a study or single room and one outlet in a bedroom, with an
average current of forty watts.While there are exceptional cases_of
more outlets and greater current in answer to individuals’ oculist
requests, the above is average, and, in the opinion of the majority of
students, inadequate. They seem to feel that-two outlets in a bedroom,
and three in a study (thus permitting either two lights and a radio or
three lights) would be sufficient if the wattage were increased to sixty
per outlet. The most recurrent of the secondary demands is for floor
plugs only, instead of the present unsightly and inconvenient center
ceiling outlets. The present wiring system takes no account of possible
furniture arrangements, and frequently leaves the most attractive and
necessary piece of furniture in isolated’ blackness.

Taylor is generally considered a “disgrace” by those who have late
afternoon classes there. More and bigger bulbs in fixtures which reach
down far enough to cast sufficient light upon the desks are universally
requested. Archaeology and art classes are indignant over Room G’s
dimness. Desk lights in the library are considered satisfactory, but
capable of improvement if the power were increased from forty to
sixty watts. The seminaries, however, are universally damned for
night study.

This in brief is the gist of what the News has thus far been able
to glean of student requests in concrete form. It has, however, no idea
that this covers the field or is precisely correct. Therefore, in the
interests of all the college it asks its readers to write.in what they con-
sider proper lighting and what desperate inconveniences they experi-
ence under the present system. Only when the college knows specific-
ally what the students want, can it formulate any plans or make any
estimates. Oculists have certified that the present arrangement is ade-
quate for normal eyesight, but what is officially adequate is often dras-
tically insufficient from the point of convenience and comfort. It is
then for those who use the light to state what they want» Then and
then only can any progress be made.



If We Must Be Practical

However pleasant a training in the liberal arts may be, however
broadening to the mind, it is not always the best preparation for earn-
ing a living in the work-a-day world. For those who wish to become
professional scholars or teachers, nothing is more necessary, but for
those who have a yearning to venture into other fields after college,
such a training stands in need of supplement. According to the report
which the Bureau of Recommendations has compiled on the various
kinds of positions which the Class of 1936 now holds, the demand for

_ college graduates’ with secretarial training is greater than the supply.

The work that members of other classes are now doing shows likewise
» that something | besides a purely academic background is required. In
pations where special merit is needed, opportunity is open; but

ABROAD AT HOME







The Philadelphia Zoo is fast becom-
ing known for its up-to-date additions,
not only of various animals, but also
of cages adequate for the comfort of
the many citizens of that metropolis.
In planning a trip to said Zoo, we
suggest that you include the follow-





ing attractions:

The American Buffalo, who roams
lazily in an open field, separated from
the visitors by a concrete ditch of
enormous depth; fine specimens that
recall memories of pioneer days in
the west.

happen in at the right time, you may
see him move around, at which point
you may ask how he knows what
muscle to move next.

The Giraffe, standing in awesome
dignity, aloof from humanity and its
prosaic life. ‘

The Orang-Utang, sitting behind a
plate glass window. “Clever humans”
have taught him to spit at them. To
antagonize: merely make an ugly face.
It probably won’t cause such a vio-
lent reaction as did your editor, but
there’s a reason for everything.

The Seals, fed at 4 p. m. Notice
especially the trick that the feeder
has of throwing one fish ’way across
the pond so that while the big seal
is going after it, the little seal, which
is much slower, has a chance to get
one close at hand. Otherwise the big
brute would get all the food.

The Bears, grizzly and otherwise,
some of which beg by a wave of a
mighty paw for peanuts or other
kinds of food which people often throw
to them.

The Model-barn, near the exit, con-
taining a cow and proper dairy equip-
ment. Very interesting and enlight-
ening.. M. H:

The Iguana, residing in the Reptile
House, holds the distinction of being
the only one in captivity in America;
a curious lizard-like animal which
looks a little top-heavy.

“Princeton,” a tiger in the Carnivor-
ous House. Try to get here around
3 p. m., which is feeding time.

“Lizzie,” the mighty elephant who
is bathed daily at 4 p. m. With cold
weather setting in, he may have been
demoted to a shower-bath instead of
an oversized bathtub.

The Gorilla, who looks like Louis
Armstrong, sits moping in his out-
door cage while people look at him
and wonder, ‘Mr. Darwin must have
been right after all.”

The Parrots, who refuse to answer
when you say, “Polly want a cracker?”
Usually they just look at you in dis-
gust and go on chattering among
themselves about how silly people are.
“Do you think we have nothing to
think about but eating crackers?”

courses be introduced into the curriculum. Students who come to
Bryn Mawr know what sort of instruction they will receive, and their
coming signifes that they want just this sort. If their interests lay
solely in becoming actresses or sculptors, they would go to schools for
acting and sculping. No, they want what they get here; the only
trouble is, that they need something more if they expect to find employ-
ers waiting to receive them with open arms. To supply this something
more, we fondly believe, is not so diffieult a matter as it might seem.

during an idle summer, attending a secretarial course at a business
theatre—acting, painting scenery, or sewing costumes, would be an
adventure. Although it might never come in handy, a week spent. in
learning how to operate a switchboard or mimeograph machine might,
on the other hand, give precisely the ability needed to capture ‘a certain
job. Nor is it necessary that all such subsidiary training be carried on
outside college. In little ways, there are countless chances for develop-
ing special qualities that may be of enormous use. ‘The College News,
the Lantern, Players Club, secretarial work for the NYA, service on
social committees, all furnish extra skill that may in itself be inadequate

day. His production is very pictur-
esque, his cast excellent, and he gives
the same sort of restrained portrayal
of Hamlet as does John Gielgud, only
more so.

successful comedy of a movie star’s
wanderings, reopened here with a sec-
ond-string cast on Monday.
Locust: Opening November 2, Co-

James Rennie, who heads the cast,

making good among the street urchins.
Boyd: A Midsummer Night’s Dream,
which is the result of Warner Broth-

“Hamlet is sane, but immensely sensi-

of knowing that his father was mur-

sane and sensitive, rather than emo-

Alumnae Hail Visit :

As Fine Innovation



Greater Opportunity to Meet
Professors and Students
Is Requested



ONE GUEST FROM ‘CHINA



Judging by general enthusiasm, the
Alumnae Weekend, which was held
for the first time this

experiment, seems to have _ estab-
lished itself as a Bryn Mawr tradi-
tion.

A sense of the keen enjoyment and
appreciation with which the alumnae
viewed the weekend is conveyed, by
the statement of Miss Alice M. Bor-
ing, ’04, of Peiping, China. Miss Bor-
ing, who is a member of the faculty
of Yenching University, is spending
her sabbatical year in America and
was thus able to be among the alum-
nae who returned to the campus last
weekend. She said, “I think the
Alumnae Weekend is a very fine inno-
vation which should by all means be
continued.” She found that a great
many new sides of college life were
opened up to her, and she felt that
the days were well-planned toward
achieving that end.

Miss Boring suggested, however,
that, if it were at all possible, there
should be more opportunity for the
alumnae to meet the undergraduates.
A tea for alumnae and seniors, per-
haps, or some similar social event
would allow the two groups to talk

year as an



and exchange views informally. The
halamnae would then leave with not
only an idea of the different phases
of college life at present, but also a
picture of the undergraduate’ type as
well. { *

Mrs. Philip Sharples,
daughter, Katharine

14, whose
Comey, is a

the weekend was an excellent scheme
which would undoubtedly become an
institution. She found, however, that
a great many alumnae did not have
the courage to come back to college
alone. Her one suggestion, besides
some means of enticing timid alumnae
back to the fgid, was that they be
given more opportunity to talk to the
faculty once they are here. The high-
light of the weekend td her was the
luncheon at the Desneaft tx which
several members of the daculty spoke.
There was little informal talking on
this occasion, and she was of the
opinion that a tea for alumnae and
professors would have great appeal
and prove most valuable.

A member of the class of 1897,
who prefers to remain unknown,
voiced very adequately the feelings
of the alumnae group about the week-
end:when ‘she said, “I was much im-
pressed. The outlook of the whole
college has been a revelation to me.”

fered at the University of West Vir-

explained, was ‘satiric, made on a

porary organist. It was very satis-
factory as a humoroys interlude.

The best part of the program con-
sisted in the Haydn Andante with
Variations (F Minor). Mr. Alwyne
called the attention of the audience
to the device of varying not one, but
two themes, and to the striking har-
monic effects, which, like the formal
device, were innovations in Haydn’s
time. The harmony included some
very beautiful dissonance, a return. to
the intelligent use of which we later,
after the romantic compositions, found
ourselves craving. The contrast of
the romantic pieces brought out other
qualities which it might otherwise
have been easy*to take for granted in
the Haydn work. Both the themes
of the Variations are lyric, the con-
trast between them lying in the mode,
key and distribution of rhythmic
groups, and in an even greater sim-
plicity in the first than the second.
The perfect flow from one section to
the next, and the delicacy of the or-
namentation of each were very aptly
presented.

Schumann and Liszt (the fiftieth
anniversary of whose death is being
commemorated this year) followed.
It cannot be said that the nineteenth
century compared favorably with the

We wonder that this period, with its
monotonous rhythmics and its empty,
“overripe” homophony, continues to
reeeive recognition. It cannot be de-
nied, however, that the little por-
trayal of festivity in the Papillons

in some of the other pieces.

If one had a feeling at the end of
the program that there had been an
unnamable kind of similarity through-
ut the whole, this was due in part to
the fact, that there actually was like-
ness of an external sort in the orna-
mentation of four out of the five long
numbers. It was due also, probably,
to the acoustics of the Deanery room,
which, for all its undeniable cosiness
and appropriateness for such a gath-

upon ‘every difference and refinement

in Spa‘n, he said, are the anarchists;
it was due to their deigning to vote
in the last election that the leftists
came into power. The anarchist
center is around Catalonia, where the
people can hardly be called Spaniards
since they have never been absorbed
into the race and have only once in
their history been subdued. If the
government forces were to win, there
would be the paradox that the coun-
try would be dominated by a group
disi clined to govern. If, as seems
more | kely, the rebels win, the new
government will be a surprise in that
it will turn out to bé a very’ bourgeois
régime. In this event, Mr. Gillet does
not think that the opposition will be
completely crushed, but that it will
continue in the area around Catalonia.

Mrs. Manning spoke on the import-
ant subject of comprehensives. To
definé their purpose, she gave three
things which they should not be. First



of all, they are not meant to be “a)
hurdle to trip up well-meaning sen-|
iors.” Emphasis is to be made on the |
years leading up to the examination
rather than on the examination itself.
The intention is to give the student
a new angle towards her work, to
give her more time for general read-
ing in her major subject. and for dis-
cussion with members of the depart-
ment in which she is studying. ~At
present, the Bryn Mawr system var-
ies from most other colleges in that
this special work is concentrated in
the senior year. The student, accord-
ingly, is exempted from most of her
mid-year examinations and from all |
of her finals, unless she is among those
unfortunates who have left a required
course until their senior year.

It is not the purpose of compre-
hensives to ‘ncrease specialization on
the part. of the student. So that stu-
dents may take as many subjects as
possible, comprehensives have been
arranged in allied subjects.

Thirdly, the character of the exam-
ination is not intended to be narrow.
The questions are to be scattered over
several fields and the student is to be
given a freedom of choice. The in-
tention is to stress mastery of knowl-
edge of the fundamental principles
rather than a great many details.

Miss McBride spoke on the place-
ment_test_for freshman and what the
college is trying to achieve by ‘it.
Students of Bryn Mawr are in a
highly selective group even among
average college students, and they can
be counted on to do well, unless they
are handicapped. This is usually due
to an unsatisfactory technique of
reading or teaching, and although
most of the entering students are
well prepared, a few are not prepared
to cover the assigned work. This is
not always due to reading slowly, but
may also arise from_a lack of vocabu-
lary, a lack of knowing how to out-
line, how to take notes or how to or-
ganize, or a lack of reading skill.
Many have studied only textbooks in
school, and they read all assigned
reading as a textbook. They have not
learned to vary their attack with
what they are reading. From the
placement tests students who seemed
to need help have been selected and
Miss McBride is working with them
individually, trying to help them over-
come their difficulties.

Dr, Crenshaw thanked the alumnae
for their generosity which has made
the new science building a possibility.
He said that the Chemistry Depart-
ment would now be able to stop poi-
soning the department above them
with their rising fumes and the de-
partment below them with liquids that
leak through the floors. To their own
advantage, they would be able to en-
courage students to take their minor
course instead of discouraging them
for lack of space.

Dr. Herben spoke on the rare books
in the library and suggested that they,
along w'th various other interesting
books in possession of members of
the faculty, be exhibited in a show
case for the benefit of the students.

Dr. William Smith also spoke on
books, his subject being the collection
of Incunabula, that he and his wife
have made. This includes a leaf from

MISS GOLDMAN NAMED
FOR ADVANCED STUDY



The announcement of the appoint-
ment of Miss Hetty Goldman, re-
search archaeologist long associated
with Bryn Mawr, as a regular mem-
ber of the staff of the Institute for
Advanced Study at Princeton was re-
coived with great pleasure here. She
is the first woman to receiye the
honor of membership in this Ynsti-
tute, which includes some of the
greatest scholars in the world. Its
activities were at first primarily in
the field of mathematics~ under . Ein-
stein and Weyl, but recently it has
opened a School of Humanistic Stud-
ies, to which Miss Goldman was ap-
pointed.

Miss Goldman has been in charge
of several archaeological expeditigns
in Europe and Asia Minor and is at
present director of the joint expedi-
tion of Bryn Mawr College, Harvard
University and the Archaeological In-
stitute of America at Tarsus. She
graduated from Bryn Mawr in the
class of 1904 and was for several
years on the staff of the Fogg Mu-
seum at Harvard. She has published |
many reports for the Fogg Museum
and more recently one on her expedi-
tion at Eutresis.

Mrs. W. R. Smith Makes
Survey of Depression



Clippings and Pamphlets * Filed
Under Subject ‘Headings



The rows of thick volumes covered
with brown wrapping paper that line
the walls of Mrs. Smith’s office are
only a small part of her clipping and
pamphlet collection. of the Depression,
1929 to 1936, numbering 112 volumes
in all. Mrs. Smith started the collec-
tion on a fairly small scale as a refer-
ence for her classes and her personal
use, but soon realized that she had
drifted into a much larger enterprise
than had been her original intention. |

The ‘collection begins: with the stock
market crash in October, 1929, and
was officially closed when the last of
the important business indices reached
the normal line. The only newspaper
which was “clipped” every day was
the New York Times, but Mrs. Smith
has included a great deal of material
from the New York Herald-Tribune,
the Philadelphia Record, the Philadel-
phia Bulletin, the Philadelphia Eve-
ning Ledger and the Wall Street
Journal, also occasional clippings from
a great variety of English and Amer-

Museum and the Carey Collection at
the Philadelphia -Free Library, the
only two that include the same sort of
material. Clippings are of the utmost
importance for some ten or fifteen
years after events they describe.

mation contained in them is usually
put into books, which are more acces-
sible to students than the original clip-
pings. The clippings are subsequently
seldom used until after enough time
has elapsed so: that the facts con-
tained in them are seen in a perspec-
tive ~which gives a new significance
and makes the books appear biased;
then people revert to the clippings.
Mrs. Smith said that there was. no
way of telling whether or not a fact
will be significant in the light of sub-
sequent events; she has therefore been
collecting without discrimination arti-
cles and cartoons which have bearing
on the depression so that coming gen-
erations will be able to judge the crisis
of 1929 and its results from many
different points of view.



Graduate Club to Have Guest °

Miss Anne Wiggin, Secretary of the
International Student Committee, will
be the guest of Dean Schenck and the
Graduate Club on Wednesday, Novem-



ican newspapers. She subscribed to |

Fie |
a large number of political and eco- |
nomic magazines and included all ap-
propriate articles. Bulletins, bank

purpose of the Committee she repre-
sents, and will also meet individually

came. At the supper there were 70
people; and in all, roughly speaking,
200 alumnae were present over the |
weekend. Distribution among the |
classes was wide and there was no,
without some representative.
The classes of 1889, 1915 and 1919
had the largest attendance of all.

Miss Park was present Friday eve-
ning at the dinner of the class col-
lectors, which was followed by a busi-
ness meeting with Virginia Atmore,
1928, presiding. The
held to prepare for making an appeal
for contributions to the alumnae fund.

On Sunday afternoon, Dean Schenck
entertained the alumnae in the draw-
ing room of Radnor. The_ three
Chinese students in the college at
present and all their foreign col-
leagues were present.

There was great disappointment ex-

so that few saw much of class activ-
ity. Miss Winter, ’07, was the only
alumna intrepid enough to remain for
an entire week. On a whole, how-
ever, the weekend was considered
very successful and another one will
undoubtedly be held in the future.
It is hoped that alumnae from greater
distances will be attracted by the fa-
vorable report from the first Alumnae
Weekend.



Radnor “At-Homes” Resumed

On Wednesday afternoons, begin-
ning November 4 and continuing to
March 17, the graduate students will
resume their custom of being “at
home” in Radnor Hall to the faculty,
students and friends of the college.
Tea will be served informally from
3.45 until 6 p. m., and it is hoped that
the faculty and students will come
directly from their lecture rooms and
laboratories.

men in general are for Roosevelt. He
has “strongly supported collective
bargaining as a necessary counter-
weight to large-scale capitalism.” The
very definition of democracy demands
that this exist as‘a bulwark against
Fascist .tendencies. More signifi-
cantly, in the face of much opposition,
Mr. Roosevelt brought about soéial
security legislation. Though this is
far from perfect, it must be rear-
ranged and not thrown onto the in-
dividual states, as Mr. Landon would
have it.

Theory of Neutrality

A new theory of neutrality has been
adopted which is the reverse of those
theories which drew the United States
into three wars. In addition we have
won the confidence of the Latin Amer-
ican countries and avoided meddling
in their affairs. p

In the economic situation Presi-
dent Roosevelt has proved himself to
be a capable judge. By “torpedoing”
the London Economic Conference he
prevented the stabilization of the dol-
lar at too high a gold content. It
is hard to accept Mr. Landon’s accu-



Talk on. “Seeing Eye” to be Given

On Monday, November 2,.. Miss
Gretchen Green will talk in the Com-
mon Room 6n the “Seeing Eye” School
for the Blind in Morristown.. Her
talk will feature movies and a prac-
tical demonstration by a blind girl
from the Overbrook school. and her
dog which she obtained from the “See-
ing Eye.”

Last year’a. talk on the “Seeing
Eye” by Mrs. Harrison Eustis, one
of the founders of the school, was
one of the most enjoyable of the leéc-
tures in the Deanery. The school,
which trains dogs for the use of the
blind, is the only one of its kind in
America and is doing remarkable
work.

Tea will be served in the Common
Room at 4 p. m. and Miss Green will
speak at 5.



sation of economic nationalism against
Mr. Roosevelt in consideration of this
international money stabilization.

It is in such situations that Mr.
Roosevelt has evidenced the vigorous
and courageous leadership which these
uncertain times demand.
Republican Scores Farley Methods

Not only are the “Tammany meth-
ods” practiced by Farley “corrupting
the country,” but they are undermin-
ing our entire civil service system,
said Mr. J. S. Stokes, Republican
speaker. England’s system which has
trained and permanent workers should
be emulated in the United States.

Class-hatred, the weapon of the
“demagogue” is also being bred by the

business.” There are many fecis
which they do not consider. Mr.
Stokes cited cases where factories had
been operating at a loss during the
past few years, rather than lay-off
their men. Moreover, a certain dis-
tribution of wealth is absolutely es-
sential to business to enable mass
buying. For purely practical rea-
sons it has beén proven that work-
men who are-substantially paid, pro-
duce much more efficiently than those
underpaid, The wise’ manufacturer
acts accordingly.

Recovery Superficial

There is a possibility that the re-
-covery is simply a superficial one de-
pendent on the vast sums of money
being expended by the government.
The waste involved in this spending
by impos'ng taxes has resulted in the
heightened cost of commodities and
the accompanying decrease in produc-
tion and employment. Governor Lan-
don’s suggestion for the local distri-
bution of wealth would sanely elimi-
nate much unnecessary spending. As
is the case with the Social Security
Act, large “sums of money are at
present put in the hands of politi-
cians,” and only a part of it reaches
its designated purpose.

Roosevelt has broken promises in the
past. What is to prevent him from
doing likewise in the future? On the
other hand, Landon has been a steady
and successful man in a difficult busi-
ness and in public sefvice. He has
“no goods in the show window,” but
pt Mr. Landon gets to the White

Industrial Group Gives Supper

Common Room, October 27.

Twerty young women workers from
Philadelphia attended the supper
given by the Industrial Group this
evening prior to the political forum.
Since many of,them were former
members of the Summer School, they
regarded this opportunity to meet
Mr. Fairchild, Mr. Miller,.and Mr.

Wells, who also were present -at the

supper, and to hear their: discussion

of the political parties at the rally,

afterwards as a continuation .of their
summer studies here. They eagerly
joined in with the questions after
the speeches and helped to keep the
argument along practical, concrete
lines. a

Those casting Socialist votes this
November, said Mr. Miller, will gain
a feeling of “moral integrity which
canrfot be given by the support of
either the Democratic or the Repub-
l‘can parties.”

The ideal of Socialism is “a phi-
losophy of social justice, international
in its vogue’ The American Social-
ist Party manages to retain this ideal

lems; yet it remains ‘‘distinctly within

racy.”
Control of Industries

Realizing that our social order can-
not suddenly suffer such a funda-
mental change as the Socialists desire,
they recommend practical steps. It is,
however, in the direction of this funda-
mental change that the core of Social-
ism lies. This is “production for use
and not for profit.” It entails “the
democratic control. of _banks,. mines,
railroads, the power industry and all
key industries.”

Progress has already been made in
these directions. The abolition of pri-

Plans for French Play Maturing
Prospects for the French play to
be given probably on Friday, March
12, were discussed at the meeting of
the French Club on Tuesday after-
noon. Mademoiselle Rey of the Bald-
win School will coach the play again.
It has been suggested that the club
give “L’Ecole des Maris” by Moliére,
which was played in English some
years ago by the Theatre Guild in
New. York, where it was eminently
successful. -Other suggestions were
“La Farce de Maitre Patelin,” eal
tos le Hardi” a‘ political satire laid i
another mythical European kingdom.

water systems, as well as the accepted
public character of post offices and
public schools, prove this.

Constitution Must be Amended

In order to secure these economic
changes “gradually and economically,”
Socialists urge that the Constitution
be amended “so that social legislation
shall not be hampered.” , This is the
need which both Mr. Landon and Mr.
Roosevelt have recognized, but nevér
discussed. Far from wishing to
abridge individual liberties, the party
hopes in this way to protect them
against exploitation.

Socialism vs. Communism

Curiously enough though their
ideals are indistinguishable, Socialists
and Communists are forever attack-
ing each other. The way in which
each would achieve its end, however,
is quite different, as the Socialists “‘in-
sist that these ends can be secured
through our existing social system.”
Therefore, to Mr. Miller, “Socialism
seems to be the most probable way to
save democracy and to secure social
justice.”

Recovery is Assumed



My three adversaries, said Miss
Fairchild, have assumed that recovery |
is actually here. “Production and
profit figures do show this to be a fact, |

but there are other figures—the mem-!

bers of unemployed, the average in-|
come of the working class—which
prove the contrary. The suffering
that the laboring class has endured
for the last seven years is still being
endured. Before those seven years
and after them, too, this suffering has
rema‘ned and will remain, unless. the
government takes action to destroy
it

Towards this end the Roosevelt Ad-
ministration has, indeed, instituted
wide-spread relief, yet such relief is
inadequate. The wages under the
work project lower the standards that
workers have achieved; the free re-
lief causes a loss of skill and self#re-
spect until many of the unemployed
lose forever the ability to work.

Such a situation causes Communists
to fear the spirit of reaction, which
they believe, “will not stop without a
sharp drive towards Fascism and
world war.” “The Communist solu-
tion for our problems is a new pro-
eram based on the social economic
needs of the people and not on a
Poe basis.” A future Farm-
er-Labor Warty would establish such
a government for the people. But
present needs of the workers of this
country are contained in the plat-
for mof the Communist party:

Minimum Wage by Law

First: “Jobs must be made avail-
able and a minimum wage established
by law, which shall give an American
standard of living to our workers.
Here private employers cannot open
théir factories, mills and mines; the
government must do so, using the
profit for distribution among the
needy.

Second: The American government
must adequately provide unemploy-
ment insurance, old age pensions, and
social security for all of its people.

Third: The country can and must
provide opportunity, education, and

work for the youth of America. Child
labor must be abolished.

Fourth: Farmers must be assisted
in the maintenance of this land. A
graduated land tax should prevent the
accumulation of large land holdings
in the hands of absentee owners.

“Tax the Rich”

Fifth: Communists are frank in
their program to tax the rich. In-
comes in excess of $5000 should bear
the burden by a sharply graduated in-
come tax.

Sixth and Seventh: Because of the
unfair differences which. exist be-
tween the situation of the negro and
white worker, the negro people’s con-

stitutional guarantees must be upheld. |

Civil l’berties must. be maintained for
all.

Eighth: A peace program is advo-
cated which among other things will
forbid the sale of goods to bellig-
erents engaged in foreign wars.

“The Declaration of Independence
states that when a government can
no longer care for a people it is the
duty of that people to rise up against
it,’ and Communists support this
theory. But contrary to: popular
opinion, Communism does not advo-
cate force except where force is

raised against it.

New Instructor for Art Club

The Art Club has made a very suc-
cessful start in its year’s work under
the tutelage of Miss Mary L. Lawser,
who has studied for seyeral years at
the Pennsylvania Museum School and
at the Academy. She has been the
recipient of several prizes for sculp-
ture, and was the Cresson Traveling
Scholar at Fontainebleau.

The club meets every Saturday
morning in the May Day Room of,
Goodhart Hall from 9.30 to 12.30.
Instruction is given in drawing,
paint'ng and sculpture.



Another mistaken idea about Com-
funiertie is that the party is directed
by Russia. This is ridiculous, as
governments must necessarily con-
form to the peculiar culture and his-
tory of the country in which it is
found.

Speakers Questioned

After the speeches enthusiastic and
often very wily questions were posed
to the speakers. Miss Fairchild was
particularly busy answering queries.
She explained that charitable insti-
tutions now supported by private do-
nations would become the responsi-
bility of the state under Communism.
