Bryn'Mawr to Give |
Party for Wounded
Men at Valley Forge



Through the Red: Cross, Bryn

- Mawr has been granted the privi-

lege of giving a quiet party on
Saturday, March 3 for the wound-
ed soldiers at. Valley Forge Gen-
eral Hospital. Seventy girls have
been asked to volunteer. The party
is sponsored by the Bryn Mawr
Red Cross unit; and is supervised
by Patricia Acheson ’46 and Nancy

Niles ’47,

Transportation will ‘be provided
by the Red Cross Motor Corps, and
the volunteers must be ready to

leave Pembroke Arch at 5: 30. Each

car will be numbered and each girl
willbe allotted to a car. Following |—
the party, the girl must return to
college in the same car.

Since the girls are guests of the
hospital and of the army, they
must abide by their rules. The
most important of these is that
they must not leave the recreation
hall. Otherwise, they are expected
to entertain th -wounded with
cards and cheerful talk. A col-
lege octet will provide entertain-
ment and the Red Cross will serve

‘refreshments. Each girl. will be

asked to pay .$1.50 to cover the

* ‘eost of refre8hments and ten lucky

number prizes will be awarded.
A list will- ‘be posted in Taylor

for those interested to sign up. If.

more than 70 volunteer those who

have done the least war work will

be eliminated. Those who sign up
must be certain of attending. This
is not a party for our pleasure but

for. theirs, and no one must go.

responsibility.

April Oursler, Designated as ‘Fallen We oman
Brings Philosophic Approach to Editorship

eq



By Alison Merrill °45

April recently-elected
editor, of the College News, de-
scribes herself as a fallen woman.
She has been falling, she says, ever
since she was a little girl. Elected
on the anniversary of having’ fall-
en and broken her toe, she reacts
to her greatest fall with the
thought: “I’m going to have to be
neat and systematic.” She will,
further, have to heed the words of

QOursler,

her father on the occasion of her:

falls:
ate.”

To the editorship, April brings
ample experience, only exceeded by
the size of her feet. Joining the
News in the middle of her Fresh-
man year, and proceeding to the
Editorial Board in her Sophomore
year, she lays claim also to a sum-
mer’s experience on’ the Swarth-
more Phoenix .as a sub-cub-report-
er in her days of acceleration, .She
has since decelerated and insists
that she has coined the word.
Working last summer as a copy
girl and assistant Letters to the
Editor editor on the Herald Trib-
une, she brought back an amazing
journalistic facility. as well as the
idea for Incidentally. Finally, she
has served two years as campus
correspondent for.the Herald Trib-
une and two years as Merion’s fire
captain, which will fit a girl for
any job.

A philosophy, major, April has
the claim to fame of being perhaps
the first philosophy major to edit
the News. The effect of this on our
yellow sheet we hesitate to proph-
esy, but Mr. Nahm’s only reply is,
“IT hope it doesn’t make you any
less a philosopher.”

Actually, Ajpril’s status as a
philosophy major is __ distinctly
shaky, since she entered college as
a chemistry major, and quickly

French Club to Have —

The French Club will present the

film _A-Nous la Liberte in the Mu-

sic Room of Goodhart on Friday,
February 9 at 8 P. M. The show-
ing of this Rene Clair comedy was
originally scheduled for the first
semester but had to be postponed
on account of projector-trouble. M.

Clair is known in this country as

the director of The Ghost Goes

semesters. With mid-years she be-
came an English major and stead-
fastly; remained one until last
year’s Shakespeare paper. “So far,”
April comments, “I’m safe in phil-
osophy.” She complains, however,
that Mr. Nahm thinks she is ‘a
Sophomore and Mr. Weiss forgets
that she is a philosophy major, for
which we could hardly blame him.

Experiencing distinct feeling of
fright,~the new editor plans to
continue in the News such editor-
ials as that’ on .dramatic activities
in an effort to campaign for mére
life on the campus and for.more

ises to fight on for rescheduling

while injecting vitamins into her-
self to ward off constantly recur-

fst Semester Work
Surveyed by McBride
At Special Assembly



Goodhart, February 1. Speaking
in a special assembly on the open-
ing day of the second semester,
Miss McBride pointed to this sem-
ester as a time for a new recogni-

ent during war. She spoke also of
changes in faculty membership, of
extra-curricular activities, and of
the academic picture of the first
semester.

Obligations

Referring to study now as both
a hardship and a privilege, Miss
McBride asserted that ‘it is essen-
tial work which must be carried on
and which can be carried on only
by those who are able.” The coun-
try will be short, Miss McBride
said, in all fields of knowledge as
a result of the war, and our edu-
cation will help men see the im-
portance of returning to college
Further, we will
have a background for an under-
standing of problems after‘ the
war and the possibility for action.

Changes

To the faculty, the second sem-
ester brings back Mr.: Watson of
the Geology Department after six
months in Montana and Miss Kraus
to the Department of Sociology
after work with UNRRA. Mr.
Carpenter will leave. during the
second semester to give a series of
lectures at the University of Cal-
ifornia. ‘His, place will be taken
by Mr. Post of Haverford.

Activities

The past semester, Miss McBride
announced, had fewer academic
casualties than last year, partly
due to the new plan for attend-
ance at classes. A survey of extra-
curricular activities indicates few
of us working at the top of our
abilities. The situation now calls
for help from those who ane: so
far held iback.

On ‘Way of St. James’



The well-known literary histor-
ian, Dr. Henry Thomas, Keeper of
Printed Books at the British Mu-
seum, will speak under the aus-
pices. of the Spanish Club in the
Common Room on Saturday after-
noon, February 10 at 4:15.

This talk, called the Way of St.
James, will be illustrated with
slides and based in part on the
book of that name written by Geor-
gianna Goddard King, former. head
of the Bryn Mawr Art Depart-
ment. This subject concerns the
pilgrimage of St. James from
France to Spain.

Dr. Thomas; an/yexpert on six-
teenth century Spanish printing;
is the author of Spanish: Romances.
of Chivalry and of the Short Cata-
logue of Sixteenth Century Span-
ish Books. His lecture Saturday
will be given in English and is open
to everyone. Tea will be served in
the Common Room at 3:46.

Harvard Concert
With Bryn Mawr
Notably Executed

Enthusiasm, Delicacy Combine

To Set High Standard
Of Singing



This, year’s Harvard-Bryn Mawr

concert, the second in the college’s
history, was characterized by a re-
markably high standard of execu-
tion with both vigorous enthusiasm
and sensitive delicacy.

Although the program ranged in
period from 1400 to 1945, both the
joint renditions and the separate
college selections were performed
with an almost perfect tonal blend.
The musical rapport evident dur-
ing the whole évening was notable ~
particularly in view of the fact
that the colleges had ‘had less than
two hours of rehearsal before the _
concert.

The performan¢ée ot. Irving
Fine’s clever choral patterns from
The New Yorker, probably the
most striking part of the program,
is an indication of the alertness of
choral direction, but above all of
the live spirit. which ‘characterizes
both choirs. ,

Bryn Mawr’s performance of the
two modern Ave Maria’s was nota-
ble for its full round tone’ and ex-
quisite expressiveness. The Dufay
chanson and the Welkes madrigal
deserve special mention as exam-
ples of: smooth blend and acute
sense of tempo.

Harvard’s group of madrigals
were presented with colloquial
charm. The diction of the Bac-
chanale and the. Patience choruses
was unusually clear and the imagi-
native interpretation of the Sulli-
can selections was striking in con-.
trast to the “usual hackneyed _per-
formances of such music.

Powerful intensity and brilliance
in--the dramatie cut-offs charac-
terized the rendition of Handel’s
Tear from .Hopeless
Love. A truly expressive delivery _
of the magnificent Thompson Alle-
luia closed the concert on the per-
fect note.

Forsdyke Will Speak

ian of the British Museum since

, Nurses’ Aide

The recent faculty decision to give credit allowances to
students for Nurses’ Aide is a sign that Bryn Mawr ha’ final-
ly declared war. |
signed up for Nurses’ Aide will realize that it brings an add-
ed responsibility to them in keeping up in the other types: of
war work.

‘The sacrifice of a half unit of academic credit in response
to the present nurse shortage is an, unprecedented step in
Bryn Mawr’s history. It shows that the ivory tower accu-
sations”: are groundless, and while regrettable in some re-
spects, is a fine gesture in time of crisis. The response to
the appeal for Nurses’ Aides has been in keeping’ with the
spirit prompting it. ”

The fact that Nurses’ Aide has been given a special sta-
tus, however, must not blind the remaining five-sixths of the
student body. We have not been working’ to capacity on oth-
er vital war-work, particularly bandage-rolling. Bandage-
rolling is just as important as Nurses’ Aide, and should be
viewed in the same serious light /that has led the faculty to
make the present radical change. Those of us who cannot
give ten hours a week should feel obligated to do as much as
possible. er



Parting Words

. Any attempt to define the function of the College News

is of necessity difficult, nor can its retiring editors speak with
the voice of authority on the subject. We can only state the
aims which we have tried to achieve through the year; we
can only pass on to those who follow a tradition.

As we have visualized it, our function has been to re-
port news of interest to’the campus, to reflect undergraduate
opinion in so far as we are able, and to serve as a medium of

expression for student opinion. Beyond this, we have at-
~ tempted to’ maintain interest outside the college chiefly

through editorials on national and international matters,
through news‘ef other colleges, and through reviews of books

and plays. a8 ‘
_.* The interest of the College News is largely conditioned
by the activity of the campus itself. In 1944-45, taking up
our ‘editorial duties with no preconceived crusades in mind
but supporting various issues as they arose, We campaigned
for the maintenance of the Self-Government constitution, in-
Sisted on some’ attention to the problem of rescheduling,
pledged our full support to the UVAP program, attempted
to reflect the conflict over the national election, and gave-at-
tention to new groups and clubs, both political and literary.
/ We were fortunate_in having a-year in which the campus

participated more fully than ever before, and we both proph-,

esy and hope for greater activity;-of fuller participation in
the war effort. To the College News, notably free as it is
/from any control or censorship and yet with that freedom
possessing, a greater obligation, may it be a,year of achieve-
ment. - ae :



It is hoped that students who have not,

Former Bryn Mawr Student
Approves New Nurse’s Aide
Resolution



(The College News prints excerpts
from a letter from Leila Jack-
son, a former member of the class
of 1946 who joined the WAVES
last fall. Stationed at Milledge-
ville, Georgia, she is attending a
storekeepers’ school).

This is a rather late response to
the letters in the News of January
17 about Nurses’ Aides. I feel so
strongly on the subject that I had
to take time out from practicing
number drills to put in my two

paign for more volunteers and for
more time in which to do Nurses’
Aiding—particularly for the work-.
ers, because I know that there is
time for most of the girls to do i
even though it means a be
schedule. 7
Wounded a

In one evening in Atlanta I
counted 10 men on crutches minus
a leg and any number/with other
kinds of wounds, some. permanent
scars and some with only. tempor-

battle areas, Thére is'a huge army
hospital up Ahere with WACs,
nurses’ aides, and civilian army
aides. Th¢ papers are full of their
shortage/ of help.
vA Realization
Four of the girls in my company
who were nurses’ aides are plan-
Ning to go on helping in the local
hospital or military hospital wher-
ever they may be stationed. Even
this navy school seems preposter-
ously civilian and pleasant. From
the isolation of this small Georgia
town the war seems almost as far
away as it did in the academic re-
moteness of ‘college. When one’s
immediate. job is to study hard to
acquire either a scientific skill or
abroad outlook and social per-
spective, literary facility or what-
ever one’s major and purpose are,
it is natural that the war should
seem remote. Except for’ those
whose husbands and very close|
friends are overseas it is not en-
tirely. a real war. The minor in-
conveniences of restrictions-in this
country are so trivial that we do
not realize that this is a :world
war and that other countries are
living war-ruled lives.
Participation
As Nurses’ Aides the girls can
actually become part of the strug-
gle without giving up, even for a
few years, their preparation for
peace. History, politics, sociology
and economics. mean more to those
who have shared the abnormalities
of war. You cannot comprehend
what it means to the men of this
generation until you have taken
part in the struggle yourself. By
helping in the hospitals, by_enlist-.
ing in the armed forces (which is
also a lot of fun) by using one’s
abilities and strength in the im-
mediately essential tasks, it is

possible to have something pre-
served for the peace.

All-Out

For me it was not-possible to put
my whole effort into making col-
lege a fulltime war job; it was too
‘much‘fan and too distracting. In
the Navy I feel more a part of the
war. Unless a girl is actually put-
ting nearly all her time intu study-
ing I think she Has. not even the
faintest excuse for: not doing a
volunteer emergency job.

I can’t stress enough the import-
ance of everyone’s being personal-
ly aware of the impact of -war|.
upon normal life and of the com-
‘pletely different way of living that
is required when war is present.

Red Cross Needs Bandages;
Urgent Appeal for B. M.
Volunteers

To the Editor:

An urgent appeal to all “Surgi-
cal Dressings Volunteers” h
just come from the Ardmore doe
ter of the Red Cross. Although
the stocks of Red Cross dressings
in the European theatre ‘tre been
ample up to this times the recent
crucial developments/on the west-
ern front have brought forth an
immediate ne for 45,000,000
dressings. The “Surgical Dress-
ing auxiliariés” all over the coun-
try must meet this new emergency.
Our Bryn Mawr unit is being call-
ed upon to help meet the local
Valléy Forge requirement for 2000
bandages. :

This is a tremendous challenge
in view of the fact that our first
semester record averaged about
200: bandages per week—a mert
drop in the bucket. Here is. a
chance for those of you who were
not able to arrange your program
to fit the Nurses’ Aide course, to
serve in other war work. The new
hours are Wednesday evenings,

/Thursday afternoons;-or—Saturday-|

mornings. One of these times can
fit anyone’s schedule.
Sincerely,
Marge Richardson ’46
Doris Braman -’46,
Chairmen of Surgical Dressings

The Motor’Transport Unit of the

a voluntary basis.

This is an excellent opportunity

job demands eight hours a week,
from nine until five.

Common Room, Jan. 5. Describ-
ing the problems of postwar Brit-
ain, Mr. Gilbert Walker, professor
at the University of Birmingham,
named the. three principal. ques-
tions as export trade, full employ-
me and housing. .

he income from capital. invest-.
d abroad paid for half of the im-.
port trade on which Epgland de--.
pends for life, Mr. Walker ‘declar-.
ed. ‘Since that capital has been.
liquidated, imports must be paid.
out of current earnings. The out-.
put of food in Great Britain is.
equal to half the consumption, the.
rest coming from the Common-.
wealth of Nations, but that source:
will be virtually cut off after the
war: Therefore, export trade in.
exchange for importations, must.
be increased 50%. “

“Throughout the nineteenth cen-
tury, there was cyclical unemploy-
ment,” Mr. Walker -said, “the
boom periods obliterating the mem-.
ory of the bad times up to 1914.
Then the constant upward pro-.
gression was ended in depression:
and a deceleration set in. From,
1920 to 1940 unemployment, which.
remained at about one million, al~
though widely distributed, repre-
sented a great cost to the nation.
An equitable employment prograny
could have: created enough wealth
to replace Capital equipment;-whose-
disrepair is now being reflected in
British industrial inefficiency.

“If the emergency is sufficiently
urgent, government can create full
employment,” .the speaker said..



|“In England, democracy is on the,

defensive,” he added, “since it has,
meant the freedom to be unem-
ployed. Now the: public demands.
maintenance of full employment.
The solution of the problem must.
be found in the chosen battlefield.
of professional economists and.
left wing statesmen who see no,
need to relinquish democracy in,
the face of full employment, and
businessmen and bankers who fear
that society. must collapse if full
employment is upheld.

The housing problem is the.

greatest need, Mr. Walker observ-.

ed. Due to the prohibitive cost of:

houses, workingmen have been rel-.

egated to poor shelters, and build-.

ings well constructed before the

Industrial Revolution are still in,

B.M. Basketball Team
~ Loses Game to Penn



Penn, February 3. The Owls
first basketball game of the season
ended in a 38-33 victery for the
fast and tricky Penn téam.

At the end of the first quarter
Bryn Mawr led by one point; the
second quarter, however, decided
the game with Penn’s _ surging
ahead by ten points. When Agnes
Nelms came in for the second half,
Bryn Mawr’s prospects brightened,
“and the. Owls outscored the maroon
team 17-122. In spite of their come-
back, the yellow team was still five
points behind when the whistle
blew.

Varying their’ tactics ‘a great
deal, Penn’s team played a_par-
ticularly fast game, distinguished
by tricky passes and good lay-up
shots. The Owls were slow in
moving up to the ball, sticking to
one place while the Maroon guards

pet age ob it was a remark-|-

ably even fmatch when there was
not too much fouling.

The yellow guards, especially
the captain Yvonne Townsend,
played a magnificent game, while
Nancy Niles was the top-scoring
forward with six field goals and
one free throw to her credit. Joan
Hitchcock, Freshman forward who
played all four quarters, came in

second with eight points.
~The downfall of the Junior Var-
sity also came in the second quar-
ter, and they lost 34-31 to Penn’s
second team. Star of the green
team was Posy Johnson who piled
up sixteen points.

Hart, Urge Teaching



Common Room, February 7. To-
night in-a Vocational Conference
on teaching, Dr. Burton Fowler,
Headmaster of the Germantown
Friends School, emphasized the
importance of the right ‘people be-
coming teachers in elementary
schools.
liberal arts colleges have the back-
ground and personality of human
beings, and are therefore ipoten-
tially the best teachers. He as-
serted that teaching is an “inspir-
ing, challenging, and exciting ad
- venture.”

Miss Hart of the Girls’ High
School of Philadelphia endorsed
everything Dr. Fowler said as ap-
plicable to secondary schools. She
added that broad interests are es-
pecially important because educa-
tion “is the whole life of the child,
and the whole life of the world.”
Inflexible teachers, are bad, and a
broad training, such as found ih a
liberal arts college and in a teach-
‘ing interneship, is vital. The money

Miss Tabor Explains
Hudson Labor School

Miss Tabor, representative of the
Hudson Shore Labor School, ad-
dressed a group of students inter-
ested in the work that is being
done for the aid of workers.

The Hudson Shore Labor School
was organized in 1921 from the
Bryn Mawr Summer Camp by
President Thomas. It was then a
school for women workers in in-
dustry who were interested in
-women’s education and women’s|

The library may well be said -tu.
be the most populated spot on the
Bryn Mawr. Campus but for some
reason many students seem to be
ignorant of its inner recesses. They
trek back and forth from _ the
stacks to the reading room _ but
very few penetrate around the cor-
ner to the Rare Book Room which

jis usually amazingly unoccupied.

‘Whether or not its whereabouts are
the. average Bryn
Mawrtyr or whether endless hours
of minor history reading has made
the sight of books repellent is not
known but the fact remains that
the Rare Book Room is not receiv-
ing the attention that it deserves.

For this reason, the Rare Book
Committee, under the chairmanship
of Mr. Herben, has planned to
stimulate a true interest in thosé
objects in which many students feel
compelled to bury their noses at
regular intervals during their col-
lege careers. Plans are being for-
mulated for exhibitions of the his-
tory and evolution of the book and
for exhibitions. that are closely

use. The blitz, however, has done
a tremendous clearance job. In
all, four and a half million homes
have been damaged, and another
half million razed beyond - repair.
The building trade has, therefore,
been expanded, ‘but it can only in-
crease the housing by 300,000 by
the second year after the war. The
engineering trade has been util-
ized in a temporary building pro-
gram, to construct a quarter of a
million houses in the two years
following the war. The problem
still is unsolved, since these “tin
can” houses last only ten years,
and are constructible by only two
firms who possess equipment for
them, which need conversion. The
houses are also very small and ex-
pensive.

Faculty Plan 6 Talks
On Selecting Majors

Commencing next Tuesday, Feb--

ruary 13, a series of six confer-

ences on Your Major, its Selection
and Your [Future willbe presented

by the Vocational Committee of the
Undergraduate Association. This
series was given last year with
great success, with talks by varied
members of each department.

The general purpose of the se-
ries is to assist students in choos-
ing their major and to explain
what kinds of work can be done in
the various fields after graduation.
It is hoped that those underclass-
men who have not. yet chosen their
majors will attend, as well.as Jun-
iors and Seniors interested in ca-
reers.
Of the six conferences, two will
concern the sciences, one the social
sciences, one the classics, one the
modern languages, and one the
humanities. They will take place
in the Common ‘Room at 4:30 in
February and early March. The
first, on February - 13, will deal
with Psychology, Mathematics and
Physics.

To begin with, the Harvard Glee

excitement over the prospect .of
spending a-night in a female dor-

at two-thirty in-the morning after

Pembroke shook, according to com-
petent observers who were trying,
to get some sleep. Harvard came
in’ the back door, but instead of
creeping up to bed in the approved
manner they spent much of the
night taking pictures of each oth-
er. to prove’ that they. really had
slept there: They finally gathered

Home for Incurables

In Need of Workers



The Philadelphia Home for In-
curables, which now has only 40
nurses aS compared to 65 before
the war, is in dire need of volun-
teers. ‘The work, for which no
training is required, resembles,
something between Nurses’ Aide
and Gray Ladies. Sixteen students
are now wanted for this vital work,
to go to the Home on the follow-
ing days: two on Mondays, two on
Tuesdays, one on Wednesday, two
on Thursdays, one on Fridays, and
four on both Saturdays and Sun-
days.. Anyone who can give five
hours, from three to five any after-
noon in the week; should get in
touch with Gwen Leege in Rocke-
feller.

Bryn Mawr has received a let-
ter from Mrs. Fuller, who is the
treasurer of the Home, for the 99
hours of work 12 students have
given this year. Those who have
already done outstanding work are
Emily Evarts who volunteered 15

hours, and Nancy Bierwirth, Mar-
ion Moise and Agnese Nelms who
have each given 13 hours. Eight
other students who have helped at
the Home are Louise Brown, Ann
‘Dudley, Helen Einhorn, Ruth Les-
ter, Toby Locke, Katherine Lutz,
Jane Ward and Gerry Pattison.

In 1939 the schoodgmoved to West
Park, New York, the home of the
first director, Hilda Smith. Since
that*time it has been increasingly
difficult to enroll workers for a
long. period of time due to the war
time demands that have ~been
forced upon them. In order to meet
these demands a short-term-train-
ing period of a week or mcre was
instituted to-co-ordinate with. a
longer six week period. *

Classes fall into three groups,
Economics, English and Drama.
Each course has a specific purpose
that is blended in with the other
two so'that the students can appre-
ciate the value of Economics and
English in their ordinary life.
Last year eight undergraduates
representing the top women’s col-
leges were at the school. The func-
tion of these undergraduates was

assistants. Their particular work
depended upon their skill-and as
far as possible their desires. Their
particular help was required in

no compensation, but there is great
compensation found in the satis-
faction of receiving a response
from the minds of the children.

Miss Harrington of Columbia
University, said that teaching can
ioe both exciting and wearing, but
that the fact that college classes
are composed of both fewer and
more mature students makes it
possible for the teacher to get un-
der the surface and teach thoughts
on the basis of the facts learned
earlier. Ideas can be taught to the
many differént kinds of, students
and there is opportunity for more
research.._Naturally college - pro-
fessors must have a greater edu-
catién than other teachers, and
there is more competition from
