Picture Shows
Life and Work

Of Six Artists

Goodhart Promises Film
Adventure in Art

Oct. 3 and 4

Pictura—Adventure in Art, the
film to be presented Friday and
Saturday, October 3 and 4 at 8:30
pm. in Gooodhart Hall, Bryn
Mawr College, conducts a brief
tour through the lives and works
of six great artists. A representa-
tive selection from the art of the
Renaissance to the present, the
film features the works of Hier-
onymous Bosh and Vittore Carpac-
cio of the fifteenth century, Goya

of the eighteenth, Toulouse-Laut--
rec and [Paul Gaugin of the nine-
teenth, and Ggant Wood of the
twentieth.

Tickets for the show, sponsored
by the’ Bryn Mawr Club of Phila-
delphia and the Bryn Mawr Art
Center, are available now at Tay-
lor Hall, Bryn Mawr College, and
at the Bryn Mawr Art Center
Haverford, at the price of one dol-
lar for adults and _ seventy-five
cents for students. All seats are
reserved.

The narration, by such figures
as Vincent Price, Henry Fonda,
Lilli Palmer, and Gregory Peck,
correlates the influence of the art-
ists’ lives with their works, the
environment under which each
man matured and its effect on his
work.

Among its subject matter, the
film explains Bosch’s_ tryptich,
Garden of Delights, Carpaccio’s
paintings of the legend of St. Ur-
sula plus Spanish, Parisian, South
Sea Island, and American life as
seen and interpreted by Goya,
Toulouse-Lautrec, Gaugin, and
Grant Wood respectively.



The first college assembly of
the year will be held, on Tues-
day, September 30th, at 8:45
a.m. in Goodhart Hall. The 9
o’clock classes will begin at 9.30
that morning. Later classes will
meet at the scheduled hours.







May Noel Beware! |
Junior Show Plans |

Boast of “Theatre”
by Louella Ministers, ’54

Noel Coward wrote Private
Lives in a weekend, and the class
of ’54, allowing a few extra hours,,
is writing their Junior Show in
five days. Noel, look to your laur-;
els. The project is still in the talk-
ing stage but there are strong in-
dications that it will materi ize)
soon, undoubtedly for production:
on October 18th. :

Here and There

Chappaqua, New York, is the
birthplace of 1954’s coming pro-
duction. This little town has given
us Lillian Hellman (The Little
Foxes) and Mildred Dunnock of
Death of a Salesman fame. Once
again according to all reports it is
to produce a new theatrical star
found in 1954’s presentation.

I have received various tips as
to plot and possible stars. The
writers, however, seem to have
chosen to surround their play with
an aura of mystery. It has been
rumored that contrary to conven-
tion and the advice of certain col-
umnists the play is neither a re-
vival nor an adaptation, but rather
an original musical comedy. For
such an undertaking, seventeen
writers have been assembled from
New York, California, and Vir-
ginia. I have been told that the
publicity will be released in the
first week in October.

Choral Art Poses
Topic for. Thomas

On Sunday, October 12th at 4-
5:30 in the music room of Good-
hart, Bryn Mawr will have the
unusual opportunity of hearing
Mr. Kurt Thomas, German con-
ductor and composer, speak on the
state of choral art in Germany to-
day. He plans to include his own
approach to music and his own
work, and will illustrate his speech
by demonstrations with the Bryn
Mawr College Chorus and the
Haverford College Glee Club sing-
ing both old and new pieces.

Mr. Thomas conducts a chorus
at Detwold where he is professor
of music at the conservatory and
also tours Europe with his fam-

Tuesday Begins
Tradition Game
At Bryn Mawr

Slightly Singed Senior
Tells of Parade
Night

Dear Freshmen:

Next Tuesday, September 30, is
Parade Night, your first introduc-
tion to that all too well-known
phrase, “Bryn Mawr tradition.”
’*52’s yearbook dubbed Parade
Night, “Ring Around the Fire.”
The event is, as a matter of fact,
a distant relative of ring- around-
the rosie. The principal difference
is that it is a “grown-ups” game,
played by very much grown-up
(?) Bryn Mawr freshmen and
sophomores. The object of this
game is for you to compose a song
(preferably with a tune that fits
the somewhat limited repertoire of
the Fireman’s Band — Farmer in
the Dell, For He’s a Jolly Good
Fellow, etc.) and keep the song a
secret from your opponents, the
sophomores. They will try dilli-
gently to steal the song and write
2. pavady of it. On Tuesday night,
2‘ P-m arch, you, surrounded by
bore>ed, be-capped and (of course)
lignified juniors and seniors, will
‘arade to the field behind Rhoads,
vhere a large bonfire, surrounded
by the nasty ol’ sophomores, will be
waiting for you. As the procession
from Pem travels to the fire, the
freshmen are to sing their song
with as much spirit as they can
muster (this is a test of whether
or not you are a spirited class).
Then, if you have been clever, the
sophomores will concede victory to
you in song, but if they have been
cleverer, they will try to outsing
you with their parody. In any case,
much singing and noise will prob-
ably ensue, and (again depending
on the spirit of your class) a small
brawl. Step singing ends the eve-
ning on a quieter, more musical
note. Good luck, Freshmen! Keep
your song well hidden, watch out
for sophomoric spies, and don’t
burn your toes!

Sincerely,
A Slightly Singed Senior



Ye Night Life Beckons Invitinaly
With Hoagies, Men, Hamburgers

by Claire Robinson, °54

Sometime in the first hectic days
spent in Bryn Mawr College, and
vicinity, you will at last have a
moment to breathe, and will dis-
cover it. The Vicinity, that is.
This Vicinity includes the town of
Bryn Mawr, known by all-as the
ville. The ville holds not only food
and clothing and hardware supplies,
but also places that may be visit-
ed! Sometime fairly soon you may
want to venture forth, in search
of a little night life. Where to go?

Suppose it’s a movie with the
girls—then, you need refreshment
to steady your nerves after the
double horror bill, and the Hearth
is the answer. Hamburg Hearth
serves really excellent hamburgers,
cheeseburgers, cole slaw, french



fries—well cooked, nicely served.



It is G.H.Q. for just about every-
body, and is particularly nice to
college students — stays open, for
instance, as late as it has comers,
on big College Evenings.

Though the Hearth is probably
the most popular hangout, there
are many who daily extoll the
charm of the Greek’s. The Greek’s
serves good food, less expensively
than the Hearth. The service may
not be quite as posh, but it is cer-
tainly worth a trip or two.

If you want atmosphere, then
the News Agency may be just
your dish. In the opinion of this
writer, it’s safe only in bright day-
light, and then only should be en-
tered for very short periods, with
somebody else. But this den of

sorts (not iniquity!) has a piece

Pembroke Boards
Organic Chemists

Bryn Mawr has often played
host to summertime conferences,
and this year was no exception.
Only two weeks ago, from Sep-
tember tenth to thirteenth, to be
exact, the Fourth Conference on
Reaction Mechanisms took over
Pembroke Hall and lecture space
at Park.

The Committee invited one hun-
dred. and fifty specialists, physical
chemists interested in the mech-
anisms of organic reactions, whose
last biannual conference had been
held at Northwestern University.
This year there were people from
the entire United States and also
some foreign countries. About
one tenth of them were represen-
tatives of government laboratories,
another fourth belonged to indus-
trial groups, and the lange remain-
ing group came from various uni-
versities.

' A glance at the schedule showed
that the afternoons were left free,

Wellesley Shares
Lighthouse Glory

by Sheila Atkinson, ’53

“We just couldn’t let those Bryn
Mawr lighthousés outshine us,”
Rhode Island’s Miss Alice Hunt
stated emphatically with a fiery
twinkle in her eye, “and so we
started the Wellesley Institute for
Social Progress.”

She explained on June 28th at
the first session of the Institute
this year that “Bryn Mawr had
been graduating girls who went
out into this world and acted as,
well, as lighthouses emanating
rays of social welfare. So, we at
Wellesley decided to try and be-
come lighthouses too, and _ the
Summer Institute was founded.

The two week programs have
been held each summer at Welles-
ley until this year when, because
the Wellesley campus was being
renovated, the Institute met at
Bard College at Annandale-on-
Hudson, New York.

Group Consciousness

-













Beware!

You are a Freshman. That, you laugh, is definitely NOT
news! The arm of this idea has extended itself to embrace all
your thoughts and actions, arranging them to fit in the pat-
tern of college life.

But have you been a Freshman long enough to meet your
worst enemy? The enemy whose hands are never still, whose
face is ever changing? We speak of College Enemy Number

One: TIME.

You have come to college to work hard. You plan to do
a lot, and you will. But trying to do many things, and try-
ing to do them well, is just where you run into trouble. The
face of TIME appears. You cannot avoid it, but you can cope
with it if you are clever. -

The first thing to realize is that there are three sides to
college life, all equally important: 1) the academic; 2) the
social; 3) the extracurricular. To make the most of your
college life these three phases of student activity must be
balanced.

It will, however, prove next to impossible to make any
day come out even, or, for that matter, some weeks. But over
the period of a semester, and especially a year, the three
phases of college life must stand in equilibrium.

So, how does the clever girl combat TIME? She yields
to it. She takes care of first things first.. But at the same
time she manages it. When all her deadliness are met, she
concentrates on that side of student life which she has had
to neglect recently. In that way she boasts a balanced year,
and people wonder “how in the world she does so much.” ~
Note: Don’t be discouraged. Some scientists say that the
days are getting longer.

News

Any Freshman who is considering trying out for the
College News should know its aim, its methods, and its struc-
ture. For that reason, a short explanation follows, which can
easily be supplemented by any staff or board member whom
you might question. |

The aim of our publication is to provide college experi-

ence for anyone on campus who is interested in journalism.
We publish a paper each Wednesday which usually consists
of six pages. The News covers all campus activities as well
as publishing play and book reviews, interviews, and other
feature creative work.



but that there were three-hour
meetings in both the morning and
evening. At each of these meet-
ings one man presented a paper
on some phase of the reaction
mechanisms, and the remaining
time was given to discussion by
small groups. Mr. Berliner em-
phasized that the conference was
definitely for specialists interested
in details.

The thing which impresses us
students at (Bard more than any-
thing else was the complete and
easy friendliness resulting from
the basic desire of each person to
work together to arrive at better
individual ideas. A group con-
sciousness, Dana Klotzell called it
in our discussion group. We swal-
lowed the abstraction easily, but
later it grew on us, and we real-
ized that the teachers, the union
representatives, the ministers, the
laissez-faire upholders, the social
workers—all those whom age and
experience has given a particular
interest — influenced our original
ideas and made them more unbias-
ed and mature.

“Issues which Transcend the
Election” was the theme of the
Institute. The informal bull ses-
sions were really “transcendental,”
but most of the visiting speakers
tried to stay on firm ground. Dis-
cussion groups to talk about the
lectures and afternoon panels also
strove to remain on the commun-
ity level, or, as Mr. Scott put it,
“on the level of Dallas, Texas.”

Distinguished Men

Mr. Berliner himself spoke on
the “Chemical Effects of the Alkyl
Groups” and the outstanding out-
side speakers were Henry Eyring
of the University of Utah and
Louis P. Hammett of Columbia.

The four days were not spent
entirely in business, though, for
the college gave a tea for the
group and Mr. Berliner added that
the food was good and that the
conference was a success not only
scientifically, but in all ways..

Amusement. '

As far as the students were con-
cerned, some of the social progress
stressed at Bard was social in the
restricted sense. The outdoor
swimming pool and the tennis
courts were the main attractions.
“Mikes” and the diner in Rhine-
beck saw us at unprecedented
hours. Movies, folk dancing,
climbing the Catskills, and visiting
an artist colony, topped off by a
visit to Hyde Park where we met
Mrs. Roosevelt, rounded out two
weeks of social progress.

Bard was progressive, and pro-
gressive does not mean commun-
istic! Bard was living an ideal.
Social pressure reversed its con-
ventional restrictions. Respect for

A newcomer is automatically a member of the Editorial
Staff of the News. She writes one article a week usually and
works one evening for several hours putting the paper to-
gether. This entails reading galley proofs, composing head-
ay and helping with make-up if she is interested in that
field.

After one semester on the Staff, she is eligible to be
elected by all members to the Editorial Board. Board mem-
bers work two nights a week in the News Room and partici-
pate in the writing of editorials. The complete staff elects
the various editors who manage their departments working
closely with the Editor-in-Chief.

The College News demands work and plenty of it, but
the work is fun. You have the advantage of working inti-
mately with members of all classes who are interested in the
same field that you are. You are aware of all that is happen-
ing on campus, and very much aware of specific activities
which you are assigned coverage. You meet and get to know
many students and faculty members doing your weekly
assignments.

We hope that you feel that the News is one of the extra-
curricular offers which is worthy of your time, and will
respond when tryouts are announced very soon.



individuals soared, while prejudice
was at its nadir. Not only the
ideas absorbed through the group
technique are important. Even
more so is the realization that you
have once lived in a community
where each person contributed
what he could wholeheartedly and
gained much more—what everyone
else together could give him.

Pakistan Weekend Here

P

sions and talks in Goodhart Hall,
with an evening of entertainment
including a hall dance.

A discussion of Pakistan art
(speaker to be announced) will
take place on Sunday afternoon in
connection with the art and indus-
try exhibits which will be on dis-
play all weekend. There will also
be a speaker on the “Islamic Re-
ligion and the Pakistan Nation.”

The Pakistan Program springs
out of the USF attempt to con-
tribute to the University of Dac-
ca ‘by helping to build a youth
hostel and by sending books. It
is a further step in establishing
permanent relations between the
University and Bryn Mawr and
has been a cause for great interest

Non-Reses Include

Young Marrieds;

Joan Spector Heads Active Group

_ especially. contributed by
Emmy Cadwalader, ’53

Miss Agnew, the Head Librar-
ian may often be heard talking

about the mice in her library, but:

don’t jump to the conclusion that
Bryn Mawr is overryn with rod-
ents. The mice, to whom she is re-

ferring, are none other than the
Non-Resident students, who oc-
cupy two rooms in the library
basement. ;

Although these students live off
campus, they still play just as
large a part in college activities as
the residents. Under the able lead-
ership of Joan Spector, their Pres-
_ident, and Barbie Bradley, Vice-
President, these little mice can be
seen scampering all over campus,

active on boards and teams.

Privileged Mice

This fall, there will be a total of
forty-two mice in the library,
seven of which will be freshmen;
Ann Garcia, Katherine Masella,
Roslyn Simon, Ellen Spector,
Sarah Stifler, Mayo Swan, and
Naomi Vasady. Mrs. Wohlman, a
quest senior, will join the rest of
the young marrieds, along with
Dot Harris, June Wasser, Lynne
Leach, and San Tilghman, who
have also acquired husbands over
the summer. If any residents are
planning marriage in the near fu-
ture, these girls will probably be



able to give out some fairly hot
tips on housework shortcuts and
husband training. You will find,
too, that Non-Res’s play an excel-
lent game of bridge, not to men-
tion the expertness of their driving,
a long yearned for resident privi-
lege.

On Tuesday, September 23, the
Non-Res’s held a picnic to meet
the new students and to get ac-
quainted. The traditional name
game was played, and some ac-
quired names that they probably
never knew existed.

During Freshman (Week, the
Non-Res’s were very much in evi-
dence, as they volunteered en mass
to help schedule appointments and
serve as sign posts.

These happy mice weicdme visi-
tors at any time; so drop in on
them for a chat and a smoke when
you can.

are submarine sandwiches (does
that clear it up?) — bread and

too, if you want it. Someday, the

door of the News Agency will

Bogart. (Incidentally, it also
serves the best pie a la mode

of it.

If you’re coming in from Ard-

Males may be found in any and

other watering spots that you may
want to visit when you are—ah!
the magic phrase—Escorted. At
the end of the line (gpeaking in

Princeton Junction. In Philadel-
phia, there is the University of
Pennsylvania. And down the road,
there is Haverford. All these are

Conestoga Mill is equally fine, anu
is a particular favorite for dinner
before-the-show-before -the - dance,
begause it is so very near the col
lege. The Viking Inn, Ardmore,
is perfect in this category, too. If
you’d like to venture into Phila-
delphia, then Victor’s is wonderful
—food is excellent and the music
in the same superlative rating.
Maurice’s is another spot for ‘‘ad-
venture in good eating” as Duncan
Hines would say, and there, too,
the music is par excellence. The
‘word “Bookbinder’s” generally
evokes an ecstatic sigh—and you'll
know why after a visit. A must
on the list of good eating in Phila-
delphia.

Maturity

On a date in this locality, or any
locality, for that matter, you will
undoubtedly be faced with a liquor
list. If you don’t drink, there’s
no problem. If you do, then there
are a number of considerations.
They include the Blue Laws of the
State of Pennsylvania, and the
rules of the college. The latter
state that “Cases of intoxication
will be severely dealt with.” The
former state that you may not
drink unless you are 21. If you go
to a place serving alcoholic bev-
erages, and drink, you do so at
your own risk. Whether you like
it or not, you represent the col-
lege as long as you are a member
of it—certainly for eight months
of the year. If you get drunk, to
put it bluntly, chances are that
you’ll be the “Bryn Mawr girl who
was loaded.” Doesn’t sound very
pleasant, does it? And if this
happens, and you are not 21, then
you are not only dishonoring the
college, but violating the law. This
is enough said. The rest is up to
you.

Wherever you go in these parts,
have fun. Nobody can study all
the time, and it’s impossible to
try. Whether it’s the movies with
the girls or a date, escorted, en-
joy it—that’s an important part of
what you’re here for! *

No Wallflowers But No Belles

by Catherine Cheremeteff, ’52
(Vogue’s 1952 Prix Winner)

We went back to the dance floor.
It was now eleven o’clock, and we
had been together almost con-
stantly eg et o’clock that af-
ternoon, when my date had met me
at the train. Neither he nor I
could find anything more to say
to each other. The smile that had
come so naturally to me at the be-
ginning of the dance hurt my
mouth now. Every dance, whether
samba or fox trot, seemed the
same, just a pattern through which
he was leading me. ...I was at
a college dance, the first event in
a supposedly gay spring weekend;

and I was hopelessly, drearily
stuck.
Why? Because of the System.

I was not a wallflower; there are
no wallflowers at college or school
dances in 1952. If a girl can’t find
somebody to ask her to the dance,
she stays at home. But, there are
no belles either, under the System
—hbecause there are no extra men,
no stags to cut in. Boys who
haven’t invited girls to the dance
just don’t come. The System, as
it is currently practised, demands
that all school or college social
events be built around the couple,
the date, and that the boy and
girl involved in this date (even
though it’s their first) must dance
or sit out every dance together.
I and my date were typical victims
of the System.

I thought, wistfully, of decrip-
tions I’d heard from my friends’
older sisters, of college dances be-
fore World War II. In those days
(they said) each girl had a dance
card, filled out ahead of time by
her escort with the names of his
roommates and friends. Or he,
his friends, and their girls, all
shared a big table and exchanged
dances. The boys who didn’t have
dates came to the dance anyway,



you met dozens of boys in an eve-
ning. That was the point of a
dance: to be a sort of melting-pot,
a big cocktail shaker in which
young people and good music were
whirled around together to make
a gay evening. . .. But then the

war came. The stag lines vanish-

ed. And the System seized every
campus in the country in an iron
grip.

Still, I thought (as I trudged
through the ninth samba), 1952
isn’t 1942. Can’t we start getting
away from the System? Can’t we
devise some way of changing part-
ners occasionally? How about the
old dancing-school expedient of
double cutting?

At that moment, I spotted one
of the couples we’d had dinner
with, earlier in the evening (it
seemed like years ago). Rashly,
I suggested that we double cut
with them. I shouldn’t have done
it. My date resented it, and felt
that I had snubbed him. After
the dance, we had a stupid fight.
The week end was a failure for
both of us; I took the next train
back, and I’ve never heard from
him again. I had tried to beat
the System, and I had failed.

In this morning’s mail, I got an
invitation to a weekend at an-
other college, this autumn. There’ll
be a football game—and a big
dance. The Senior who has in-
vited me is awfully nice, and I feel
very flattered that he should have
asked me. ... But I don’t think
I’ll go. You can’t beat the Sys-
tem. Or can you?

in the August 15, 1952 issue of
Vogue.)

There are drugstores, a station-
ery store (Gaffney’s) for things
the College Book Store doesn’t
carry, and by the same token, the
Country Book Store, often with
books unobtainable on campus. For
the record lover, Cuff’s sells the
all-important converters which
make . DC palatable to phono-
graphs, and Blackstone’s sells rec-
ords. Buten’s handles paints, Dinah
Frost’s has yarns and greeting

will repair shoes while you wait,
or deliver to the college.

There are other specialty shops,
too, as a walk up the Pike will
show.

Ardmore is only about five min-
utes away by train or bus, and
there, in Suburban Square (on the
Montgomery Avenue side of the
tracks) are the branches of Best
and Company (clothes), Straw-
bridge and Clothier (everything),
Peck and Peck (again clothing),
and Geutings (shoes). In a space
of several blocks, there are also
a record and radio store, Davis’
luggage and: gift shops, several
smaller dress shops, a bakery,
and drug and hardware stores.

Portrait of Founder, Joseph Taylor,
Evokes Legends, Words of the Past

Taylor Hall has been graced
with a majestic portrait of Dr.
Joseph Taylor, founder of Bryn
Mawr College. It was in 1885
that plans were realized for the
founding of an educational insti-
tution which would offer the aca-
demic advantages already open to
males, to the female of the species.

Dr. Taylor, a New Jersey phy-
sician, not only took a leading part
in all these beliefs and plans, but
also. endowed the college with
enough money to buy the land se-
lected; to build the first buildings,
and to launch a group of faculty



the Singer Sewing
an ‘art supply store, a

cent stores,
Center,
typewriter repairman, and dozens

of stores less stylish and less cost-
ly than those across the tracks.

- Finally, briefly, there is Phila-
delphia, with the department
stores: Wanamaker, Bonwit Teller,
Strawbridge and Clothier, Gimbels,
Blum, and others. Chestnut Street
from ninth to nineteenth boasts
the more expensive shops, while
Market Street has a little of every-
thing. The most effective way of
learning about them seems to be
the recommendation of others or
a tour in person.



and students on this daring ven-
ture.

There is a legend told of Dr.
Taylor which says that he was at
one time deeply in love with a
young woman—a young woman lhe
very much wanted to marry. For
some reason, he was forced to he
apart from her for a time, and he
travelled far and wide, learning
and observing. When he returned

to the young lady, he found that

they were poles apart—for he had
progressed, and she had not. It
was then that he determined that
women should be offered the same
educational opportunities offered
to men. And it was then that
there came into being Bryn Mawr
College.

Whether this be true or not, Dr.
Taylor states his own reasons for
Bryn Mawr thusly: An institution
“for the advanced education of our
young female Friends.” He was,
of course, an ardent Quaker. In
his will of 1877 he wrote: “the
effects of a guarded advanced
Christian education of females, by
expanding mental resources, would
strengthen character and elevate
them above the foolish fashions,
now so prevalent, and would fit
for usefulness and __ influence.
Should they become mothers — to



Si-Si Chu, Hong

Kong Freshman,

Compares Two School Systems

by Muggy McCabe, ’54

Among the many wonderful per-
sonalities that entered Bryn Mawr
on September “25 was Si-Si Chu.
Si-Si is already a staunch rooter
for Rockefeller Hall ss when
asked how she felt out the
school after being here ten hours,
she smiled and said “I sincerely
like it; that’s the only way I can
think of to describe it.”

Si-Si originally lived and went
to school in Shanghai but, because
of the circumstances that have
arisen, she and her family moved
to Hong Kong. Before coming to
America to conclude her prepara-
tory schooling at Shipley, Si-Si at-
tended high-school in Honolulu for
two years; it was there that Si-Si
took an interest in journalism and
had the advantage of using the
newly installed electric column
type setters.

Here at Bryn Mawr, Si-Si plans



train infant minds and give direc-
tion to character, and to make
home the centre of interest and at-
traction, and thus preserve youth
from foolish follies, or haunts that
lead to ruin!”



‘0 major in Chemistry, possibly do
graduate work, and then return
to China to continue in a special-
ized field.

When asked to compare Chinese
and American schools for a news-
paper article, Si-Si gasped “Why
you could write books, volumes on
tg Neverless, Si-Si explain-
ed that the Chinese curriculum is
broader because of the sub-divi-
sions that exist in the courses. The
Chinese student finds school more
difficult in that due to a very for-
mal faculty-student relationship,
he must dig a great deal of the
material out for himself. Si-Si
feels that before the trend of the
educational system takes an up-
ward swing, there must be paral-
lel evolutions in the society and
economy of the country.

Si-Si began to study English in
third grade and although she in-

Sists it was merely AIBC’s, she has

mastered the language, a feat for
which she gives credit to her Eng-
lish speaking parents.

Si-Si is now in her fifth school,
and we all hope she finds Bryn
Mawr as pleasant as Bryn Mawr
finds her being here!
