Academic Year
Officially Opens
At Convocation

Great Increase Noted
In Registration
For Year

“Miss Katharine McBride official-
ly opened the new academic year
on Tuesday morning, September
29, in Goodhart Hall with an ad-
dress to the college. She first gave
some facts and statistics of inter-
est concerning the college commun-
ity and then turned to the subject
of the responsibilities of the edu-
cated woman in her own commun-
ity and professional or business

life. ‘

The academic year 1953-1954 op-
ened with an unusually large reg-
istration. There are more gradu-
ate students than there have been
in the past two years, approximate-
ly the same number of freshmen
and fewer transfer students. What
accounts for the size of the group
is the fact that a larger number of
undergraduates returned to college
than had been predicted. There are
610 undergraduate students in all
this year compared to the record
registration previously held.

About twenty percent of the
graduate school consists of foreign
students, while less than five per-
cent of the undergraduates are
foreign. These students come from
twenty-four countries and are un-
der the guidance of Mrs. Diez.

‘The present freshman class is
very like its predecessors in age
and ability. The freshmen come
from 1381 different schools among
which Brearley, Bronx High School
of Science and the Hunter High
School each sent four students. In
this group sixty-five public schools,
sixty-four independent schools and
two foreign schools are represent-
ed. ®

Bryn Mawr Begins
53-54 College Year
With Parade Night

By Lynn Badler, 56

Rhoads was in its annual danger
of burning down as all classes
celebrated the first tradition of the
school year, Parade Night. Of
course, the danger was only hypo-
thetical for nearby stood the
staunch and loud yet musical Fire-
men’s band which escorted the
Freshmen from Pembroke Arch to
Rhoads’ backyard, accompanying
their powerful singing with music.

Had a mishap occurred, the fire;-|

men were \ready to fill their instru-
ments with water and go to work!

The Class of ’57 hopefully sang
its song, “The Campbells are Com-

‘ling” to the rows of solemnly cap-

ped and gowned Juniors and Sen-
iors, as they tramped through the
darkness. However, disillusion dis-

solved their gaiety, for when they.

reached the great leaping bonfire,
the glow it radiated illuminated a
circle of dancing Sophs singing a
parody on the discovered song.
Garbed in jeans and shirts and
somewhat singed by its proximity
to the conflagration, ’56 presented
a formidable bulwark against the
onrushing hoard of ’57’ites. 757,
failing to break through the solid
Sophomore circle fell back, defeat-
ed. Forming an outside circle, the
vanquished danced cheerfully any-
how. For several minutes pande-
monium reigned,..as. each class
strove to out-shout and out-shriek
the other. ar thé’ dancers then
bounded up the smail hill and set-
tled on the grass. There a crowd
of spectators—of all ages—await-
ed them, to hear the lilting lyrics
of songs old and new that follow-
éd, while the bonfire died away to
glowing embers.

The impressed Freshmen then
returned to their respective halls
where they were tendered informal
parties by the Sophomores, which
helped to obliterate the disappoint-
ment of the rival class’s victory.



Hectic Week Precedes Presentations
As Freshmen Prepare for Hall Plays

The -hectic week preceding the
performance of the Freshman Hall
Plays is with us again. All over
the campus, harried members of
the class of 1957 are struggling to
create a semblance of a play with-:
in. the maximum ten hours of re-
heatsal time.

The plays will be given in Skin-
ner Workshop this weekend. The
Non-Residents, and Rockefeller,
Rhoads, and Pembroke West halls
will present their productions on
Friday night. On Saturday night,
Radnor, Merion, Pembroke East,
and Denbigh will give their per-
formances.

At Denbigh, Pat Moran is
directing “The Old Lady Shows
Her Medals”. The _ upperclass-
man advisor is. Doris Kaiser,
and Ann Brittain is in charge of
scenery, props and costumes.

Merion, under the direction of
Joan Smith, is performing ‘“Whis-
tle, Daughter, Whistle”, with Con-
nie. Hicks acting as advisor. Eliza-
beth Thomas is filling the post of
stage manager, and Harriet Bar-
sky will oversee props.





The Non-Residents are present-
ing “The Bathroom Door”. Har-
riet Miller will direct, with the aid
of advisor Kit Massella.

Judy Scott is directing Pem-
broke West’s performance of “The
Storm”. Lynn Dallet is advisor,
and Gwen Garland and Ann Hud-
gon are assisting, respectively,
with costumes and props.

. “The Futurists”, a period piece,

will be given by Pembroke East.
Rabbit” Mac Veage is directing
this venture, and Marianne Clark
is Pem East’s advisor.

At Rockefeller, “Miracle of St.
Anthony”
the direction of Margo Zimmelman.
The play is a satiric legend, and
the Freshmen are being assisted
by upperclassman Nonnie Powers.

Radnor is producing “A Pound of
Flesh”. Radnor’s director is Mar-
tha Doerr; Connie Alderson is ad-

visor.

Lastly, Rhoads’ choice will be
“Everyman”, directed by Joyce
Cushmore. She will be assisted by
Kathy Rogers.

is being given under!



New Roof, Rooms,

Highlight Changes

Something new has been added
to the Bryn Mawr campus. Dur-
ing the summer, several changes
were made resulting in the more
attractive, if slightly crowded con-
dition of the halls. Thanks to the
breakdown of the generator in the

power house, four dormitories

were converted to alternating cur-
rent, with the difficulty that the con-
version was done quickly with no
opportunity for rewiring. Radnor,
Merion, Denbigh, and Rhoads were

converted.
Both Denbigh and Pembroke

West have pleasanter showcases
for company, and Denbigh has the
added luxury of a new carpet in
the second floor corridor. Double-
decker beds have made their first
appearance in four halls: Denbigh,
Merion, Pembroke East, and
Rhoads. Consequently, the tower
suite in Denbigh has been convert-
ed into a double suite and single
room, One room was built in Den-
bigh, and in Pembroke East, two
large double suites were converted
into six single rooms.

Besides the changes in the halls,
a welcome gift to AA provided
for completion of Applebee Barn.
It is now ready for use.

Katharine McBride
Talks On Problems
Of Child's Welfare

Miss McBride spoke in the Com-
mon Room on Tuesday evening on
“Children in Need and the Volun-
She quoted Arnold Toyn-
bee’s speech at commencement last
year in which he said, “The normal

teer.”

conditions of human life are in-
security, anxiety and danger”.

A small minority can obtain se-
curity for a short period but even
this is a narrow security from
only certain sources of danger and
anxiety, for many have no defense
against “sickness, sorrow or sin”.
The thing for us to remember is
that many children, and adults as
well, will always need more sourc-
es of strength or security financial-
ly or emotionally.

First, since the need will be very
great for as long as anyone can
see, and since the number of pro-
fessionals is insufficient, volunteers
are of the utmost importance. A
second reason for volunteer work
is that it increases one’s under-
standing of the human situation.

In addition, the volunteer is need-
ed for support in hours of work, in
talking about the work so that peo-
ple are aware of it, and in the fin:
ancial aid she may provide. The
understanding the volunteer ach-
ieves is important not only in the
work she does directly in the proj-

ect, but also as a basis for legisla-
tion, community planning for local
groups and forming her own per-
sonal philosophy.

Miss McBride posed the question
“Is it worth it to work with the un-
trained person?” As some volun-
teers are apt to be unpredictable
it might seem that it is not worth
while. However some put even the
professionals to shame. It is nec-
essary to have a trained staff to
give the volunteer the instruction
she needs for her to be thoroughly
competent. Once a volunteer adopts
a job, however, she must be pre-
pared to equal the professional in
the quality of her work.

Blanshard, Famed Author And Lecturer

To Speak At First deLaguna Program

Monday, October 12—a more
chan important date on the Bryn
Mawr calendar. At 8:30 that eve-
ning, the Music Room will be the
scene of the first deLaguna Lecture
of the fall of 1953.

The deLaguna Lecture Fund was
established in honor of Theodore
deLaguna, for many years Profes-
sor of Philosophy at Bryn Mawr
College prior to his death in 1930,
and of Professor-Emeritus Grace
A. deLaguna, also for many years
Professor of Philosophy and head
of the Department of Philosophy at
Bryn Mawr.

Dr. Brand Blanshard, of interna-
tional fame in the realm of ideal-
istic philosophy as well as of es-
pecial interest to students and
scholars of this vicinity, has been
invited as speaker for the evening.
The topic of his lecture, is “The
Reasonable Temper”.

Educated at Michigan, Columbia,
Oxford and Harvard, Dr. Blanshard





was also a Rhodes Scholar. As a
member of the American Academy
of Arts/and Sciences and former
President of the American Philos-
ophical Association’s Eastern Divi-
sion, he has extended his career be-
yond the limits of the classroom.
He is an author, to which such
works as the two-volume Nature of
Thought and Philosophy in Ameri-
can Education, Its Tasks and Op-
portunities, among others, testify.

Above all, he is known as a lec-
turer. From 1925 to 1945, he was
Professor of Philosophy at Swarth-
more College; since the latter date
he has held the same position at
Yale. And, to bring his varied ex-
periences up to date, he has just
returned from a year and a half
abroad where he delivered the Gif-
ford Lectures at Saint Andrew’s
University in Scotland, and con-
ducted a seminar in philosophy at
Salzburg.

Welcome, Faculty

During these first few weeks of the college year, wel-

‘ comes are the order of the day. First the Freshmen are greet-

ed, and, we hope, made to feel familiar with the campus and
our customs. The return of upperclassmen provokes delight-
ed exclamations and reunions in every hall, as summer exper-
iences and future plans are related.

_All of the students are welcomed at the opening assem-
bly, and later, in many classes, a mutual welcome is extended
by the scores of returning professors and instructors, and old
students. The entire staff is remembered. We are happy to

- see familiar faces in the administration offices, in the Book-

shop, and moving trunks or waiting on table in the halls.
There is yet another, most important group, to which
the entire college owes a welcome and a vote of support. This

group is comprised of the new members of the faculty, who
arrive to teach for the first time beneath Taylor Tower.

Among the new faculty are professors, instructors, dem-
onstrators. They may be full-fledged PhDs, or perhaps fresh
from a recent college class. They come equipped with a back-
ground of years of experience, or they are combining teach-
ing positions with added study.

Whatever their backgrounds and their status here, these
new members of the community accept the challenge present-
ed by the college and what it stands for. They have been
chosen by the administration as those best qualified to join
the ranks of our excellent faculty. We look forward to being
guided and enlightened by them, and we hope they will be
friends and mentors in the years to come.

The College News notes with regret the passing of Chris-
topher Blackman, our chapel porter. Mr. Blackman will be
remembered by all who came in contact with him for his
friendly greetings and faithful services. We extend our deep-
est sympathy to the members of his family.

Elizabeth’s Coronation

Connects Future
With Past

The day broke bleak and misty.
It was four o’clock in the morning
when we hurried to the Under-
ground. By five we had made our
way to Oxford Circus, and then
down to an office building in Re-
gent Street. There the television
set invited us into. the Abbey.

I shall long remember the thrill
as I watched the coach swing out
from under the archway in Buck-
ingham Palace, at 11 o’clock Green-
wich Mean Time.

Awed, I watched Elizabeth II
solemnly promise the Archbishop
and the people to “maintain the
laws of God”, and to govern the
“neoples of The United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Northern Ire-
land, Canada, Australia, New Zea-
land, Union of South Africa, Paki-
stan and Ceylon according to their
respective laws and customs”.

By four o’clock that afternoon
Her Majesty’s procession passed
below that office building in Re-
gent street. Men from every part
of the Commonwealth marched be-
fore her.. Kings, Queens, Crown
Princes, Rulers, foreign represen-
tatives—all were hailed in London.

Then came the Gold Coach. From
where I sat I saw first a Crown,
then the Orb glittering as in Fairy
tale picture books. Then I saw
a smiling profile and a hand wav-
ed. As the Coach rolled by a robe
of purple velvet and a gleaming
gold embroidered ER II came into
view. Of Phillip I saw the front
of an Admiral’s hat, his profile and
also a smile. My impression of
that scene will always be of some-
thing that connects the past with
the future.

Under the heading of June 2nd
my diary says “That night we
mingled with crowds from all over
the earth. At 12:00 after watch-
ing fireworks on the South Bank
we found ourselves outside Buck-
ingham Palace and we joined in
the cry of “We want the Queen.”
On a floodlit balcony the Queeen
and the Duke acknowledged the
people’s cheers. These same people
who had withstood rain and cold
to cheer their Queen on this, her
great day.”

“After that we ran to Victoria
to catch a last bus home to Ken-

sington. It was a day and night
never to be forgotten. We had
watched England crown her

Queen”.
Sue Habashy, ’54

ArcheologyExhibit
Shows Odd Coins

especially contributed by
Rhys Carpenter
Proféssor of Classical Archeology

An interesting new acquisition
has just been put on exhibition in
the Ella Riegel archeological
museum on the top floor of the
West Wing of the Library.

Elizabeth Washburn King (1916)
became interested in classical arch-

eology as an undergraduate and
later, after a trip to Greece, con-
tinued her archeological studies
with renewed enthusiasm, putting
in several years of graduate work
at Bryn Mawr, where she took her
M.A. in 1937, and then migrating
to the American School of Class-
ical Studies at Athens and thence
by natural transition to the Amer-
ican excavations of the Athenian
Agora. Somewhere along. this
path she fell under the spell of
ancient Greek coins; and after
parting with the inconsiderable
sum of two dollars (uninflated)
for her first coin from one of the
antique dealers of “Shoe Lane” in
Athens, she gradually dipped deep-
er and deeper into the market.

On her return to this country,
under the highly expert and be-
nevolent guidance of the late great
Edward Newell of the New York
Numismatic Society, she acquired,
piece by piece, a superb set of
nearly 150 Greek silver coins, each
of which was a collector’s item.

In 1951 without warning she
gave this entire treasure to Bryn
Mawr, casually handing to Miss
McBride on the occasion of a visit
to the campus a leather jewel-box
with its trays loaded with Greek
silver. After a long delay. while
awaiting the special glass mirror-
ed wallcase, 39 of the choicest
specimens in the collection have
now been put on display in the
archeological museum. Anyone
susceptible to their charm will find
herself repaid for the extra steps
to the top corridor of Library
West.

Current Events
Dr. A. Dudden Explains

Summer Events
At Meeting

Mr. Arthur Dudden conducted a
summer tour of the world at Cur-
rent Events, Monday evening, Oc-
tober 5. Having spent the sum-
‘mer in England, Mr. Dudden had a
slightly different outlook on world
events and American foreign pol-
icy. :

The major events concerned Rus-
sia indirectly via. Korea and Ger-
many. In Korea, of course, the war
has stopped, but perhaps with un-
satisfactory implications. The pris-
oner exchange is complete except
for those supposedly not wanting
to return from Russia to the U. N.
troops. Talk of reopening the war
in the future seemed an unlikely
prospect to Mr. Dudden despite
President Rhee’s threats.

In Russia the principle events
apparently date back to the death
of Stalin. Malenkov’s_ relative
weakness means the continuation
of purges, such as Beria’s. The
new regime seems to be relaxing,
consolidating, and attempting to



win good will. Within Russia, a
greater amount of consumer goods
is available with a shift from pro-
duction of military goods to con-
sumer items. Agriculture poses
the problem of getting more work
from collective farms. Since Rus-
sia now holds the H-bomb, perhaps
we have reached a military stale-
mate as well as a diplomatic one.

Food Riots

The people of the East German
Democratic Republic turned against
their “overlords” in the food riots
of June 17. Since the Russian
army had to intervene, there has
been little talk from Russia about
German unification. The West Ger-
man election of Adenauer early in
September brought a pro-western
victory. The general strike in
France reflected a mass protest of
disgust with inflation. The state
cannot pay salaries to support the
lowest standard of living.

Iran may turn away from its in-
creasingly pro-Russian sentiments
with Mosadegh now on trial as a
traitor. Also in the Near East, the
new regime in Egypt seems fairly
well consolidated with the possibil-
ity of agreement with Britain on
the Suez Canal question. In Eng-
land the conservative party seems
to be reaching the end of its line
with Churchill’s health failing,
even though he is still the western
leader of foreign policy. England’s
improved prosperity resulted in the
end of rationing this summer with
mass happiness and credit given to
the Conservative party. The Labor
party is still popular, and the Con-
servative administration has had
no choice but to continue many of
the previous administration’s pol-
icies. The national health program
has been stabilized, and the Cock-
ney group which suffered from the
excesses of the industrial revolu-
tion seems to be disappearing. As
yet the Conservatives are not de-
nationalizing the steel industry.

Fear of Bellicose Comments

The United States has become
more popular in Europe, but there
is fear of bellicose comments that
come from this country. Dulles is
a confused personality in Europ-
ean minds, although McCarthy is»
well known. Our foreign policy.
hit its lowest point in our success-
ful efforts to keep India out of the
peace treaty meetings. Labor
seems fairly content, although the
London Times commented on Dur-
kin’s resignation that the “nine
millionaires no longer have the



compan, of the plumber.”

Officers Outline Fields of Five Campus Organizations



Especially contributed by
Bobbie Olsen

Every student belongs to the
Athletic Association whose prin-
cipal purpose is to encourage
participation in the athletic and
recreational activities on campus.
To satisfy and be of use to so
many “involuntary” members the
organization demands variety. For
those athletically inclined there is
a selection of sports from which
to choose. Students who take their
athletic interest more seriously
find their places among the dif-
ferent varsity teams, and those
who are more mildly interested
find an appeal in the various in-
terclass and interhall games. And
to those whose athletic tendencies
comprise the smallest part of their
natures, the organization offers
during the year a series of recre-
ational activities which are not

‘purely athletic. Of course we can-

not guarantee a complete absence
of exercise at these events, for
even square dancing is fairly
strenuous at times! In both sports
and recreation the A.A. works
in close coordination with the
physical education department and
acts as liaison between the stu-
dents and this department.

We want all of our members to
take an active interest in the A.A.
and be a part of it. To do this
the organization must keep itself
a broad one and be constantly
alerted for new interests and ideas.
If we want everyone to have a
place in the A.A., then our task
lies in making certain that this
place is there for the student to
find.

Ipso Facto
You are all members of the so-
called Big Five, and though you
are not ipso-facto members of the
NEWS Board or the Chapel Com-
mittee, you will come in contact
with them throughout your four
years at Bryn Mawr. You are all
potentially active members of these
organizations, and we, of course,

hope that you will be.

The Undergraduate Council meets
once a week to coordinate various
plans and activities. We act as a
sort of clearing house for the di-
verse areas of campus _ life—dis-
cussing Freshman Week, May Day,
or an International Folk Festival.

I sometimes find it hard to be
specific about the Undergraduate
Association itself, for the jobs of
our board members are varied, and
Undergrad—as it is called—seems
to touch most areas of college life.
Your first introduction to us was
through the Freshman Handbook,

graduate Association, and_ the
Board, (very different from the
Council in that it is made up of
elected representatives from each
class) appoints the editors.

English Establish
Marshall Awards

Beginning in the academic year
1954-55, twelve Marshall Scholar-
ships will be available for Amer-
ican graduate students wishing to
study at a British university.

The Marshall Scholarships have
been established by the British
Government as a gesture of thanks
for Marshall Aid, in gratitude for
America’s generous and far-sight-
ed program for European recov-
ery.

Twelve scholarships will be
granted annually, each for a two-
year period which may be extended
to three. Eligible for competition
are U. S. citizens, men or women
under the age of 28, graduates of
accredited U. S. colleges or uni-
versities. The scholarships may be
held at any British university.

The value of each award will be
$1,540 a year, with an extra $560
a year for married men. This
sum will comfortably finance a
year’s study at a British univer-
sity, since academic fees and living
costs are considerably less than in
the United States. Transportation
is provided from home to the Brit-
ish university and back.

Qualifications for the awards
are distinction of intellect and
character, as shown by scholastic
attainment and other activities
and achievements. Preference will
be given to candidates who com-
bine high academic ability with

Implicit in the concept of a lib-
eral education is the belief that
students should be offered not only
academic opportunities but religi-
ous opportunities as well. To this
end the Chapel Committee con-
cerns itself with the religious life
of the students on campus. It
realizes that religion is a personal
experience but one which benefits
from a.tangible form of expres-
sion and one that can be strength-
ened or encouraged by outside
contacts.

Although the Chapel Committee
is composed entirely of students,
it receives its authority from the
trustees and administration, and
Dr. MacGregor who is Professor
of Philosophy and also of Religion,
is the faculty advisor to the or-
ganization. The Committee is
made up of elected representatives
and is not limited to any faith, but
instead seeks to represent all the
different denominations on campus.

There are various parts to our
program. There are Chapel serv-
ices ewery Sunday evening in the
Musi¢ Room where there is an op-
portuhity for worship and to hear
outstanding rabbis, priests, and
ministers. Also, throughout the
year, there are open discussion and
study groups which are held on
Tuesday afternoons and precede
the business meetings. Often there
are special speakers at these meet-
ings. In addition there is to be a
conference this fall when represen-
tatives of all faiths will be at the
college for two days. They will
spend one evening in hall discus-
sion groups and on the following
day there will be a tea and dis-
cussion for the student body as a
whole.

There are two points that can-
not be emphasized too strongly—
that the Chapel Committee repre-
sents every student on campus, no
matter what her faith or denom-
ination, and that every student is
warmly invited to attend all the
meetings and all the functions of
the Committée. The Chapel Com-
mittee will be as vital as we the
students make it.

The following are on the execu-
tive board of the Chapel Com-
mittee:

“Almost un-Hollywoodish” might
describe the recently released
movie, “From Here to Eternity”.
Featuring an unusually realistic
interpretation” of James Jones’
best-selling novel, it includes such
surprises as an actress posed un-
glamourously with sea-wet hair
and Frank Sinatra cast in a non-
singing role. The setting is Ha-
waii—the barracks of the peace-
time army —in December, 1941;
the stars are Montgomery Clift,
Burt Lancaster, Donna Reed and
Deborah Kerr.

One leaves the theatre with a
dominating impression of the
Army—a vast mechanism in which
the individual is lost and subject
to the prey of his fellow beings, a
mechanism in which he may be
tortured bodily and_ spiritually,
powerless to do anything about it
or to help himself.

Yet, the army which this picture
portrays is a volunteer army; Rob-

The Bryn Mawr Alliance is con-
cerned with po.itical, economic, and
social aftairs on both a national
anu an international level. Since
we are as yet minors, we feel that
our efforts in the political field can
be mainly only a préparation for
citizenship. Therefore our empha-'
sis is on information, discussion, |
and practice in areas where we will
later be active participants. The
Alliance presents informal lectures |
on current events by professors of!
tne college every Monday night. '
‘ne International Relations Club,’
(IRC), provides varied programs,
ranging from lectures to a folk fes-
tival, and including films, and con-
tact with foreign universities, to
help broaden the scope of interest
and knowledge of Bryn Mawr stu-
dents to other countries and peo-
ples. Students for Democratic
Action (SDA), a liberal group con-
cerned with civil rights, education,
and economic opportunity, concen-
trates on student discussion.

Need for Action

But the Alliance is not purely an
information service; there is need
for action too. We have sent books
and clothes to Europe, we arrange
for students to work in the com-
munity and Philadelphia (for in- |
stance, campaigning for both par-
ties and poll watching in last year’s
election), we provide information
about student tours to Europe. We
send representatives to conferences
in Philadelphia, Washington, New
York. Debates, letters to Congress-
men, financial aid to and participa-
tion in groups such as American
Friends Service Committee, World
Student Service Fund, Rutgers
Work Shop in Labor Education,
provide channels for constructive
action. For those concerned with
the practical workings of local and
national politics, Intercollegiate
Conference on Government (ICG)
gives first-hand experience — in
the organization of legislatures,
congress, or nominating conven-
tions.

In addition to club activities, the
Alliance Board, which consists of
its officers, the club head, and up-
perclass' and freshman representa-
tives from each hall, invites speak-
ers to address the whole college at
noon assemblies. Senator Leverett
Saltenstall, Owen Lattimore, Rob-
ert Sherwood, among others, have
spoken in past years. This fall
Philip Jessup and Henry Steele
Commager are scheduled for visits
to the college. In more informal
evening meetings the Alliance has
brought to Bryn Mawr such men
as Harold Laswell of Yale and

“The League, recognizing that
we are members of a world com-
munity, has a two-fold purpose: to
broaden our awareness of existing
social problems, and to work for
their alleviation and eventual so-
lution by cooperating with other
individuals. Because, in this work,
ye have far more to learn~than
to give; we realize that education
and action are necessarily inter-
dependent; for without intelligent,
objective awareness, our work will
be misguided, and without hard
work, our knowledge will be wast-
ed. The League offers an oppor-
tunity to work toward the recog-
nition of the importance of every
individual.”

In this creed, written by mem-
bers of the League Board, you
have read the basic principles and
objectives of the organization.
These general purposes are real-
ized through our work on many
kinds of projects, all of which need
a measure of interest and assist-
ance that the League is able to
provide.

In working for the league, you
can deal with children through
community centers, settlement
houses, Y-Teen groups, and the
Bryn Mawr Summer Camp; you can
help mentally ill adults through
two mental hospitals;. you can
know and work with people in
Philadelphia slum areas through

weekend work camps; you can
meet factory workers’ through
various organizations for labor
education.

Broaden Outlook

Through the League, you get to
know the maids and porters here
on campus and to participate in
some of the many activities spon-
sored by their lively association.
You can eat and serve at the soda
fountain, whose proceeds go to the
Bryn Mawr Summer Camp. You
can hear top speakers in- many
areas of social welfare, to broaden
your awareness and understanding
of our country and the world out-
side.

The first League program will
be on Tuesday, October 6.

We have here one way of ex-
tending our education beyond the
purely academic. This is a chance
to tear down the “ivory Tower”
than can easily remove us from
real life and real people.

The color was gone from every-
thing, the noise and the color. All
was drained to a whiteness: even
the air was devoid of mood, hold-
ing the warmth that has neither
the fire of heat nor the chill of
cold. There were still some leaves
on the trees and the grass lay in
patches on the bare earth. The
children’s voices sounded far off and
unreal. A pigeon strutted across
the statue’s foot. Even moving
faces in the glass of doors seemed
frozen. Life was at a pause be-
fore a new breath.

As the light changed the traf-
fic roared forward with pent up
violence, breaking the oppressive
cloud of atmosphere. The streets
seemed to come alive; people mill-
ed and flowed about and the inces-
sant horns started up again.

There are no fees or charges for

Manuscripts should be sent to

President of Undergrad
Invites Our Suggestions
Continued from Page 3

Undergrad. This was planned by,
our first Junior Member and her
committee. Parade Night on Tues
day was the next concrete evi-
dence of Undergrad, for we offic-
ially “oversee” this, just as we do
Lantern Night.

You may have discovered the
Rumpus Room, on the second floor
of Goodhart—and if you haven't
you will want to, for it is a good
place to relax. We see that this is

kept attractively furnished and
relatively neat. I hope that this
year we can add a few more lamps
and a big rug to the furnishings.

The DP Scholarship is handled
by the Board, and the recipient
chosen by it. We check the
semester schedule of Undergradu-
ate events, keep the point chart
and oversee the non-political and
non-athletic clubs on campus. The
Common Treasurer, who keeps the
finarices of all the organizations on
edmapus adyaight, sits on our board.

oe ;
As Liaison

Perhaps most important of all is
that we act as a sort of liaison be-
between the Undergraduates and
the Administration. In conferences
with Miss McBride, Miss Howe and
the Deans we try to put both stu-
dent and administration suggas-
tions into effect.

And now, what can you do to be
active ipso-facto members? You
can help do the more social things
like decorating for a dance, or join-
ing a club. You can take part in
the various traditional events of
the college. And most important
of all, if you have any criticisms or
any suggestions during the year
about campus activities, you can
bring them to me or to any mem-
ber of the Board. We hope you
will come to us with your ideas,
and we especially welcome you, for
we want your new and fresh ap-
proach to things. I hope that each
of. you will feel herself an import-
ant member of our college com-
munity—for we already know that
you are. —

‘From Here To Eternity
Portrays Realistic Lives
Continued from Page 3

ert E. Lee Pruitt (Montgomery
Clift) says he loves the army, al-
though he suffers in it, and, when
asked why, he looks: bewildered
and says, “It‘s all I’ve ever
known.”

This army offers a niche in the
world to men who have faced the
insecurity of depression, and who
have no faith in themselves to en-
able them ‘to: overcome that in-
security. Yet, each of them has a
longing to express himself as an
individual; the attempt costs two
of them their lives ‘and brings
heartbreak to another.

In the mechanism, each cog must
be forced to fit into its proper
place. But the amazing lesson is
that, in moments of crisis, the cogs
are suddenly unimportant. The
machine, with its procrustean-
stretched and mangled parts, dis-
integrates, and only a mass of
frightened individuals remains.

In the scenes showing the Pearl
Harbor attack and the reaction of
the army barracks at Honolulu,
this becomes pitifully evident. The
long hours spent training men to
win the intramural boxing cham-
pionship for the company, the
pressure on individuals for con-
formity to the whims of a com-
mander, then appear startlingly in-
adequate.

It appears, however, that the
system somehow did develop cap-
able and loyal men. Pruitt tries
to rejoin his company and the ser-
geant, who had disciplined himself
to take a subordinate role, turns
into a real leader.

“From Here to Eternity” spot-
lights a facet of life about which
we have heard too little. Of war
and hero movies we have had
many, but of the real army some-
thing such as this has long been
needed.

Miss Mary Hamilton Swindler will

Miss Nancy Tatum in Rhoads

Mrs. Marshall is on leave of ab-
sence for the first semester; her
baby arrived on June 4, Mrs.
Broughton is now acting dean and
Miss Fales is assistant dean. Mrs.
Paul is ill and consequently will
be on leave for several months.
Mrs. Charlotte Tinker of the
Friends Service Committee will be
appointed acting director of admis-
sions.

The death of Mr. J. Henry Scat-
tergood, who served as college
treasurer on the Board of Direct-
ors for more than _ twenty-five
years, has saddened all who knew
him. At his twenty-fifth anniver-

the roof of the power house found
its place in a new roof for~ the
psychology laboratory. The break-
down of the power house generator
speeded up the conversion of four
halls from direct current to alter-
nating current. Because of the
housing problem created by the
large registration some _ single
rooms have been made into doubles
and several freshmen are living
with Mr. and Mrs. Broughton and
with Miss Howe.

A cheerful atmosphere prevails
on the campus as the academic
year begins. This is due in part
to the good work of the Freshman
Week Committee, There is of
course in addition the lift which
comes in seeing old friends and be-
ing together once more to start a
new year. A third factor adding
cheer is the removal of some of the
clouds on the international scene.

During her talks with the stu-
dents, Miss McBride was impress-
ed by their interest and ability,
and turned to consider the import-
ant question of the relationship of



this interest and ability to oppor-
tunity. In times without crisis
people often fail to recognize op-
portunity or to take advantage of
it.

She recalled that President Co-
nant of Harvard kept a picture
of a turtle in his office upon which
was inscribed, “Behold the turtle.
He never makes progress without
sticking out, his neck.” When the
college woman steps out to take
her place in a family, she receives
considerable support from many
sources. Later, however, there is
less outside support for the woman
who attempts to take an active
part in community affairs, profes-
sional or business life.

The combination of ability, inter-
est and opportunity places a spec-
ial responsibility on everyone who
has all three. Some students know
their interests and abilities, but
have not yet discovered their pur-
pose, and consequently the commit-

ment to activity may develops

slowly.

“schools, will be administered at ex-

country four times in the coming
year; Educational Testing Service
has announced. During 1952-53
more than 9,000 students took’ the
GRE in partial fulfillment of ad-

schools which prescribed it.

This fall candidates may take
the GRE on Saturday, November
14. In 1954, the dates are January
30, May 1, and July 10. ETS ad-
vises each applicant to inquire of
the graduate school of his choice
which of the examinations he
should take and on what dates.
Applicants for graduate school fel-
lowships should ordinarily take the
designated examinations in the fall

administration.
The GRE tests offered in these
nationwide programs include a

test of general scholastic ability
and advanced level tests of achieve-
ment in seventeen different subject
matter fields. According to ETS,
candidates are permitted to take
the Aptitude Test and/or one of
the Advanced Tests.

Application forms and a Bulletin
of Information, which provides de-
tails of registration and adminis-
tration as well as sample questions,
may be obtained from college ad-
visors or directly from Education-

Museum Shows Primitive Pre-Columbian Sculpture

by Barbara Drysdale, °55

The native art of the Americas
—before Columbus—is now on dis-
play in the Philadelphia Museum.
The exhibit consists of sculpture
garnered from all over Central
America where pre-Columbian cul-
tures flourished—such as the Az-
tecs, Mayas, Toltecs, Mixtecs, Za-
potecs, and many other peoples.

It is an exciting collection of
primitive art. The realistic bru-
tality of the early artist, his frank-
ness and his delightful (or at times
macabre) sense of humor are all
depicted for the observer to enjoy.
The vicissitudes of the sculptor’s
nature, as portrayed in his art, are
here just as he left them hundreds
of years ago.

Of particular interest are the
“schance glimpses into the life of the
péople—the ceramic acrobat, the
ballplayer and the great stone ring
through which he threw his ball (a
sideways version of basketball) il-
lustrate some of their amusements.
Their gods are represented here
too, in the statue of the Aztec
Quetzalcoatl (possibly identifiable
with their. god of the winds) and
the numerous motifs of the plum-
ed serpent.

Among the animals of aesthetic
interest to the pre-Columbians
were the frog, the crocodile, the
dog, the jaguar, and the snake. One
snake is coiled in a tall cylinder,
lying in wait for the unwary. The
work of one artist is represented
by an eagle standing beautifully, if
horribly, upon a man’s skull.

The pre-Columbians’ portrayal
of the human figure is strangely
unrealistic, and they adapted the
figure to many uses on such objects
as jars and urns. There is a fas-
cinating bas-relief of a Mayan war-
rior, in limestone.

An Aztec calendar stone,» com-
plete with gylphs is included in



|the collection; according to the

words of a museum official you
would have to toss a coin to deter-
mine the date represented on it.

A huge Aztec sacrificial basin is
a fascinating part of the exhibit,
with its gruesome holes high in the
sides where the blood of the victim
could flow out.

The artists used varied materials,
including basalt, alabaster, volcan-
ic stone, granite, elay and terra
cotta, and what they did with these
materials makes their art unique.

The selections, from the Louise
and Walter Arensberg Collection,
will be featured at the museum
from October 8 to December 5.
