Eliot, Stassen Spoke;
Campus Constantly
Agitated

°48-"49 at Bryn Mawr consisted

-of the usual mixture of events sig-
-nificant.and--negligible;-new-—and

repetitious. Two grants were made
to-Bryn -Mawr-in-one-year:-a-new
fellowship of $1000 was temporari-
ly established by the Catherwood
Foundation, and a joint grant of
$105,000 was made by the Carnegie
Corporation to Bryn Mawr, Haver-
ford, and Swarthmore for studies
in Russian language, literature,
and history: Now Bryn Mawr can
look forward to a possible Russian
Department and Russian major.
Another addition to the curriculum
was the new Rufus M. Jones Chair
in Philosophy and Religion which

makes possible the course in med-:

iaeval philosophy given in ’49-’50
Two innovations that affected stud
ents immediately were the crea-
tion of the DP Scholarship and the
summer session in Paris which
Bryn. Mawr sponsored over the
summer. ;

Artistic Innovations

- Bryn Mawr’s constant readiness
to, criticize anything that can pos-
sibly be reformed_bore. fruit inthe
fall with the first issue of Counter-
point—a merger of the Haverford
Quarto and the Bryn Mawr Title.
The campus agitated for the im-
portation of concerts to Goodhart,
for worthier criticisms in the
NEWS, for better food and. serv-
ice at the Inn, for more and better
plays, for more college spirit and
class ‘spirit, more music, more art,
more morning assemblies. Campus
concerts were found to be impract-
ical, but a seriés of concerts,
hitherto supported by faculty only,
was opened to students. Actresses
Anonymous sprang to the rescue
of the supposed decline in the
drama. Arts Night was on over
‘whelming refutation of the fallacy
that Bryn Mawr is incapable of, or
not interested in, producing arte.

blies were magnificently attended.

Freshmen Soaked But Ty
eer ae In Stride.

by Hanna Holborn, ’5

166 drenched freshmen arrived
at Bryn Mawr last Thursday, and
immediately took over the campus.
This year’s freshman, it was soon
learned, cannot be distingtished
by a timid, lost, and eager ex,
pression. On the contrary, when-
ever you see a neat, sophisticated
girl who knows exactly. where
she’s going, you can immediately
label her as a member of ’53.

Vital statistics on the class
compiled by a spy in Taylor, show
that 16 are alumnae daughters
that 88 were prepared by private
and 60 by public schoolsand that
the class as a whole represents 25
states. and 6 foreign countries.
The class contains the first Jan-
anese student since the war and
the first DP Scholar. Total en-

rollment for this year will be 759
—598 undergraduates and 156
graduates—largest in the history
of the college. Our informant also
cells us, for what it may be worth

among the’ fathers of this year’s
freshmen is that of lawyer, wit)
salesmen ranking second.

The class of ’53 is coming up
against two important innovations
in the curriculum—the social sci-
ence requirement and the new
regulations for language Orals
(perhaps it was the latter which
prompted a heated discussion be-
tween two registering freshmen as
to where they should spend the
junior year abroad).

Also arriving at Bryn Mawr this
week are ten German women who
will’ be here as special students to
participate in a new cultural ex.
change program. ‘Other colleges
involved in this program are Chi-
cago, Duke, Harvard, Michigan,
and Syracuse. Two of the ten
women. coming to Bryn Mawr will
stay in the Graduate Center, two
more in undergraduate halls, and
the rest in private homes near’ the
campus. They will take part in
various undergraduate and -grad-
uate courses, as well as in a sem-
nar in American Institutions to be
given by Dr. Wells and Dr. Kraus
“aculty advisors for the group.

ad Shops Fill
Freshman Needs

However carefully you may have
planned all your needs at college,
there are still some things which
cannot be bought before your ar-
rival, so here is a brief guide to
the nearby shopping district.

For the curtains, bedspreads,
and pillows that you will probably
need to decorate your room,
Strawbridge and Clothier in Ard-
more, and Hobson and Owens in
Bryn Mawr may have what you
want. There are several hardware
stores in Bryn Mawr, so at the
Suburban or Jake’s hardware
stores you can get things like
soapdishes and flashlights.

If the clothes you brought with
you just don’t seem to be what
you need, try the Tres Chic
Shoppe, Joyce Lewis, or Miss Noi-
rot’s, all in the village, for skirts,
sweaters, and blouses. For those
who are knitting fiends, Dinah
Frost’s has everything you could
possibly need in the way of wool,

>3. Will Reveal
Secret Melody
At Parade Night

Firemen Will Escort
Freshmen Vietims
To Flames

The first question that is raised
in the minds of the Sophomores
its, “Can--the- Freshmen keep a
secret?” The class of ’53 will first
be put to the test on Tuesday,
October 4. The confusion of the
first day of classes will be cli-
maxed that night by a primitive
and incomprehensible orgy known
as Parade Night.

During the preceding week the
efforte of the Freshmen, ~ under
their temporary song mistress, are
concentrated on composing lyrics
to a melody which must be hid-
den from the Sophomores. The
choice of tunes is rather limited
to “Boola, Boola’, “Beer Barrel
Polka”, “Farmer in the Dell”, and
one or two others, which makes
’53’s task more difficult.

Beware of Sophomores

The Sophomores are a devious
lot and will stoop to vile tricks.
Beware, Freshmen, beware espe-
cially the confused girl who comes
up to you with: “I wasn’t at the
What is the
tune?” There are other methods,
too, and far more subtle, such as
hiding under beds and in closets,
or donning innocent and lost ex-
pressions as they attend Freshman
song meetings.

The Firemen’s Band arrives in
all its glory and leads the Fresh-
men, singing their tune, from Pem
Arch to the hockey field, where
Sophomores are war-dancing
around a vicious bonfire, singing
their conception of the notorious
tune. To the blaring accompani-
ment of the firemen, who seem to
be needed on such an occasion, the
Freshmen charge, roll, and somer-
sault down the hill toward the
flames to break the line of the
Sophomores.

Afterwards, harmony is tem-
porarily restored, and the surviv-
ors from both classes adjourn to
their halls for songs and refresh-
ments.

Foreign Observer

An hour and a half is a very
short time in which to prepare
oneself for the necessary emotion-
al ‘transition between the Paris
and the London of today. We left
Paris on a bright sunny day at
the beginning of September. The
city was bursting with life
streets crowded with people of all
nationalities (Americans strongly
predominating), shop windows fill-
ed with goods, sidewalk cafes do-
ing a booming business, and all
of Paris pervaded with the bust-
ling atmosphere of reviving pros-
perity.

The plane took off at noon, and
in ten minutes Paris was out of
sight, lost in the smoke of the
factories on her outskirts. A few
minutes and we were above the
scattered clouds, getting inter-
mittent glimpses of the flat French
countryside. Northern France is a
warm-looking region... The fields,

ranged in color from pale yellow-
ish green to orangy beige. The
towns all looked much alike from
the air — tight clusters of red-
roofed houses with here and there
a church spire reflecting the sun
upward. The trees were tidily
grouped in forests or along roads
— no straggly bushes to disrupt
the neatness.

Before one o’clock we had: reach-
ed the Channel, and in five more
minutes were over England. The
@hannel seemed motionless, like
coarse-grained cardboard, green-
ish near the coast, otherwise gray-
blue, blotched with the purple of
the cloud shadows.

Southern England seemed lush
in comparison with the warm dry
region we had just left. Rolling
igreen fields, bordered by darker
green hedges and scattered with
low, widebranched trees conveyed
a deceptively peaceful and serene
feeling. The towns sprawled out--
no sharp demarcation lines as in
France.

We circled London, banking and
losing altitude rapidly. London is

‘Houses of Parliament, the Abbey,
the tiny dot which was the Eros
in Piccadilly Circus, loomed up and
grew bigger at an almcet alarm-
ing rate. The great bombed gaps
in the city (particularly around
St. Paul’s and the Temple) caused
by the utter destruction of whole
rows of blocks also grew bigger,
and somehow gave an impression
of strength —the strength of an
old city which had withstood dis-
aster in the past and was still un-
defeated.

But after we had landed and
driven into the heart of London,
we- found ourselves in a lifeless
city. The weather was still bright

_and_ sunny, but-no-one-particularly..|—

enjoyed it. The atmosphere was
one of disheartened hopelessness.
True, it was Saturday and people
were away, the shops were closed;
but it had been Saturday in Paris
too. In London there was no gaiety,
i a despairing calm.

there is an Invisible Mending

THE POST ON BRYN MAWR

Watch for “Station Wagon

Mawr, Swarthmore, and Haver-
ford due to appear in the Oc-
tober 8th Saturday Evening
Post, on sale October 5th. Wrii-
ten by Robert M. Yoder, for-
merly Associate Editor of the
Saturday Evening Post, the ar-
ticle traces the development of
these colleges, stressing the
joint action which has aided all
three in enlarging their scope.
The photographs, some of them
taken on the Bryn Mawr camp-
us last spring, are reportedly
very good. 150 copies will be on
