Miss Fry Discusses
Social Security Plan

In Beveridge Report



Deanery, February 5. — “The
great interest of the Beveridge Re-
port is that it takes in all Social
Security legislation, combining it
into one coherent, logical whole,”

said Miss Margery Fry, formerly !
4 |

principal of Somerville College, |
Oxford, and one time chairman of |
the London Juvenile Court and |
Government Representative of the |
International Penal and Peniten- |
tiary Commission. “It is only a)
scheme so far and is going to have |
a tough passage until it becomes a
law. This report is a sign to the}
world that England is not on its |
death bed. People are becoming |
conscious of their democracy.”



Thé main arguments against the
Beveridge Report, said Miss Fry, |
are that the English will become |
a race of degenerates, since the!
plan “will ‘sap their independ-
ence”; and that thrift will be a
thing of the past. Disproving
these arguments, Miss Fry pointed
out that unemployment itself and
not Social Insurance produces de-
generacy. “America is more clever-
in its Social Security policies than
England,” she continued. “You
have gained national wealth from
the activity of those who were
formerly unemployed, through
WPA and other such work pro-
grams, while England has merely
kept her unemployed alive.” Us-!
ing statistics, Miss Fry showed
that people save more when they

have social security than when

Students Urge Move
For Mixed Army Unit

A group of interested students
met on Monday night to form a
committee for the creation of a
mixed army unit of Negroes and
white men on a voluntary basis.
There were representatives from
Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania Uni-
versity, ‘Temple University, Lin-
coln- University and Swarthmore.
They formed the Committee for a
Mixed Army Unit.

Dr. Barrows Dunham, professor
of philosophy at Temple, started
the discussion by summing up the
reasons for such a proposal. He
said that it would be a step for-
ward for the freedom for which
we are fighting if the segregation
of Negro and white soldiers was
abolished. Such segregation causes
disunity and hinders the war ef-
fort. A mixed army unit, like the
Liberty ship, the Booker T. Wash-
ington, would stand as a symbol
for all those who believe in the
essential equality of man.







An open discussion followed in
which the work of the committee |
was outlined.

The committee elected James L. |
Morgan, of Lincoln University, as
temporary chairman, and Ruth
Segal, of Bryn Mawr, as tempor-
ary secretary. Four sub-commit-
tees were formed and a petition
to the President is being written.
The representatives from Bryn
Mawr were Elizabeth Nicrosi,
Ruth Segal and Boots Szold.

Wartime Map Needs

Stressed by Watson



Geology Lecture Room, Friday,
January 22, 1942.— Announcing
another call from a government
agency, Miss Dorothy Wyckoff and
Mr. Edward Watson of the Ge-
ology Department gave short talks
on the importance of maps in war-
time. Mr. Watson stressed the
great need for maps as a result of
the use of technology in war and
enumerated the map-making agen-
cies which are sending out con-
stant calls for trained women.
Miss Wyckoff explained a proposed

[ Alliterative: Taylor Tower Found Utilitarian;

Architecture Placed in False - Gothic Period



By Hildreth Dunn, ’44

From an architect’s point of
view, the utilitarian value of Taf}
lor Tower centers around its four-
sided clock. Its aesthetic value is

er overlook. . .”’ you rhyme it.

quite as a cloud of smoke by day
and a pillar of fire by night, but
always distinctly. It is solid if not
inspiring. Much can be said about
its style, but the fact is that it
is late 19th century Gothic, about

1870-1880; often known.as_ the
false-Gothic or “What, no _ gar-
goyle” period.

Taylor Tower has been the sub-
ject of much thinking since the
crowning weather-vane was firmly
established. In the~early ’30s it
appears that there were plans to
rebuild it. This bit of work would
have been destructive, since it
would have reduced the tower to
the height of other towers and re-
moved its large copper pyramid.
It would have been redesigned to
resemble Pembroke, . . . surely a
brilliant idea. Of course Rhoads
had not yet been built. There
were even bigger plans for. re-

To American Council

ing is given to the army men sta-
tioned there. The program is also
in force at Michigan and at Penn-
sylvania, where the study concen-
trates on African languages.

The headquarters of the Council
are in Washington. Prominent
among its publications are those
on mediaeval culture. Dr. E. A.
Lowe’s publication of mediaeval
Latin manuscripts is an example
of projects which the Council has
subsidized. Miss Taylor feels that
its most important work is in the
advanced study of languages. The
a program at

Bryn Mawr, however, is unlikely.





It can be’
seen far away in the daytime, not





building Taylor itself, but as the

architectural prints have not yet

been found we can’t elucidate

them. The mere mention of a con- .
necting link between Dalton and

Taylor can convey the scale of this

redesigning.

But this appeared to be another
case where the thought and not
the action was exaNing, for Taylor
Tower was never altered. Lack of
funds was the prime cause; but as
Miss Woodworth said, Some day it

Full Use of Facilities

student’s mind is most fully de-
veloped when working in its own
particular field.

The military services as well as
war industries demand graduates,
but Miss McBride stressed that a
student should only | leave her
training to get a job if-it-is an
essential one which can be better
filled’ by her than by anyone else.
Otherwise she should aim to finish
her training as rapidly as possible.
Miss McBride said that outside
time should be used as war time,
either in volunteer or apprentice
jobs.

“The College must be flexible,”
said Miss McBride. She mentioned
the innovation of special courses
as war measures, and the plans
for more extensive programs for
regional studies. Also she noted
programs to combine work in lan-



guages and social sciences. “On
the other hand,” Miss McBride
said, “the College must formulate

its purposes and hold to them. de-
spite temporary shifts.”
