$100,000 because she felt that the
nations whose civilization has left
a permanent mark on the _ world
are those who helped to develop
the arts as well as the sciences.
American poets receive very inad-
equate support and little material
reward for their labors, and ‘she
hoped her gift will be used to pro-
vide fellowships to poets and part-
ly to discover and encourage new
genius.
For their ‘fine and unselfish pro-
gram of social action throughout
the world” Mrs. Lamont left the
American Friends Service Com-
mittee $25,000 and the same
amount to the American Civil Lib-
erties Union. She felt that con-
stant watchfulness was required to
guard those civil liberties that are
the American tradition of democ-
racy.
Miss McBride joined the presi-
dents of the other colleges in sign-
ing a statement issued by Millicent
C. McIntosh, President of Barnard
College, acknowledging their debt
to Mrs. Lamont, in appreciation of
her faith in the purpose and suc-
yeess of the independent women’s
colleges and the knowledge that
her gift will be heartening to the
thousands of alumnae who work
for their alma maters because of
the same faith.

gested a small publication for a be-

Typing is a must, and shorthand
is good too, but Mrs. Freedgood
aav.sed the job-seeker not to ad-
veitise this last fact unless neces-
sary because many people get
stuck in secretarial jobs that way.
In the discussion period she ex-
p.ained that wages in publishing
are the lowest: publishing houses
iange from $35.00 to $55.00 a week
and magazines from $40.00 to
$60.00. Jobs as proof readers are
-ood for beginners but are _ be-
coming more and more _ limited.
The reviewing fields and jobs on
non-staff-written magazines are
almost closed.

few outstanding English thinkers
on the problem, and, the discussion
having thus been enligucened, the
final conclusions are drawn: The
tension observed between ethics and
religion is inevitable, but it is not
as serious as it first appeared to
The dualism existing within
the domain of ethics, between the
idea of duty and the idea of good,
can be solved only in religion, and
the moral problem, by giving birth
an absolute good, contributes to

Educational Experiment
Provides Graduate Siudy
Continued from Page 1
In assessing the. value of the
graduate school, Bryn Mawr ought
to consider its own shortcomings
in any area, as well as to ask itself
whether it is taking full advantage
of the strength it has. Under pres-
ent programs, the college gives
(proportionately) more Ph. D.’s
than either master’s or bachelor’s
degrees, and until the post-war
period, Bryn Mawr awarded five
to nine of each thousand Ph. D.
awards in the country annually.
The experiment is one to be ser-
iously thought of, in terms of the
individual, the college, and _ all-
over specialization in the country.
|The report of the President con-'
yal the development of a great-
number of small graduate
saheiia a vital idea in learning “at
the present time, when so much |
depends on the excellence of grad-|
uate education.”
Mr. Fritz Janschka, Bryn
Mawr’s artist in residence, has
a showing of his work at the
Robert Carlen Gallery in Phila-
delphia. Mr. Janschka has titled
the exhibition “Recent Paintings
and Drawings.” It is now on
display, and will be open to the
public until February 7.
