Inaugurated



Before embarking on '44-’45, a
backward glance over 743-’44 may
help to reassure or to confirm the
suspicions of Freshmen who do not
know what they are in for yet.
Herewith is a “News-eye” view of
what has happened up to where
we left off last spring.

Wiar and reformation were our
themes—and they were
not always separate. It all began
when the biggest Freshman class
in Bryn Mawyr’s history descended
and romped victoriously through
Parade Night to Freshman Show
in defiance of the Sophomores, who
were fooled by both song and ani-
mal.
Red Cross Unit

Energy ran to war work, with a
busy corps of Nurses’ Aides, and
groups dashing down to the Bryn
Mawr Hospital canteen at 5:30
A .M. The slogan was,a war job
for everyone. By the spring all of
this was organized into a Red
Cross unit on campus. Bandage-
rolling done, dances in the Gym
or the Common Room for.men at
nearby bases kept up morale.

2 ey "Came winter, the campus reach-
aed fever pitch in the famous Lan-

ssern——vs.__‘Self-Gov’t— controversy

“over rules. This roused the fighting

spirit, often dormant on campus,
and the News rested while its
pages filled up with opinion let-
ters. While the Lantern shrieked
‘for the abolition of all rules, Self-
Gov’t rose in its own defense, and
everyone took sides. Mass meet-
ings, reminiscent of the French
Revolution, finally eifected a series
of amendments, most notable of
which were smoking anywhere on
campus and two o’clock permission
anywhere in Philadelphia. The

Many a Freshman Now Gone With the Dew



With Tuesday, classes begin, and
in order not to neglect Bryn
Mawr’s scholastic aspect, The
News presents a picture of the

course on every course slip: Eng-.

As will soon be discovered, this
course requires one composition
every Monday morning at 9 A. M.,
written slightly before this time.
The compositions when corrected
are hidden away in an inaccessible
hole in Taylor basement to be dug
up and returned at the end of Sen-
jor year. Those returned to Sen-

News Offers Survey
Of Local Night Spots;
Where to Eat When

The morale-building division of
the College News has dug up the
following vital information®as a
guide to extra-curricular activities
in the more frivolous line. As a
Bryn Mawr Freshman, you will
eat, perhaps more than anything
else, and we pass on to you a list
of tried and true eating places, ad-
judged to satisfy the strictest
gourmet. We do not guarantee a
cure for all types of nervous
breakdowns, but the nightlife in
Philadelphia and vicinity is not to
be underestimated.

Within walking distance: If you
sleep through breakfast, if you are
starved after lab, or if Aunt Jen-
nie shows up unexpectedly for
lunch or dinner, the place is the
College Inn, and*it is usually the
place most of the time anyway.
For more elabérate teas there are,
in the Vill, the Community Kitch-
en, the Chatterbox, and farther up
the Lancaster Pike, the Bit of a
Shop, and the Cottage Inn on
Montgomery (also for lunch and
dinner). ‘Meth’s in the Vill will
open their soda fountain October
2. It is the best place for an un-
conventional tea.

Sophomores Present
Traditional Lanterns
In Evening Ceremony



The third Friday in October is
traditionally appointed a night of
solemn ceremony. It is then, on
Lantern Night, that the Sopho-
mores formally welcome the in-

coming class in what is perhaps;

the oldest and the most character-
istic of all Bryn Mawr traditions.

Freshmen and Sophomorts as-
semble in two separate groups out-
side the library. Silent and invis-
ible in their black caps and gowns,
the ‘Freshmen file into the night
blackness of the Cloisters. They
form a semi-circle, standing in the
grass with their backs to the lib-
rary.

Pallas Athena

The Sophomores enter, bearing
lighted lanterns. As they walk
they sing a Greek hymn, invoking
Pallas Athena, goddess of wisdom,
to make holy the lanterns and to
change darkness into light. They
form a second semi-circle, inside
the first. The song is done, and
each Sophomore hands her lantern
to the closest Freshman and runs,
The Freshman answer: “We come
O Goddess; we are lovers of beau-
ty in just measure and lovers of
wisdom also.” They file out, sing-
ing their song.

The solemn ceremony is finished,
but following, a gayer gathering
assembles in Pembroke Arch. The
four classes form a square and
each sings its athletic song, class
song and lyric songs The evening
ends with “Thou Gracious Inspira-
tion.”

Tradition offers many supersti-
tions about the lanterns. Inside
each lantern is an invitation to tea
from Sophomore to Freshman. The
girl whose candle burns the long-
est and who stays awake to prove
her claim, is fated to become ‘hall
president and the girl who finds
wax drippings on her gown will
earn a Ph. D.

Many Changes

Lantern Night underwent chang-
es and developments before all de-
tails were as they are now. In
1886, Dr. E. Washburn wrote a
song to the tune of “The Lone Fish
Ball” ‘alluding to “The Only Lan-
tern in Bryn Mawr.” Romantic

imagination seized upon the idea

Fire, Snakedance-
Climax Struggle.
Qn Parade Night
Lanterns Will Flicker

To Mark Traditional
Procession



Tuesday, the 26th of September,
will not only mark the opening
of the 60th academic year, but it
will be also—and surpassingly—
Parade Night.

Parade Night and the days pre-
ceding it are a time of rivalry
undisguised with Freshmen and
Sophomores at each other’s
throats. Contention finds its source
in a song—not a mere song, but
one that embodies the spirit of
violent tradition.

The tradition is this: a song is
selected by the Freshmen; original
words are added, usually scorn-
ing any and all, Sophomores in
triumphant terms. The sole ob-
ject remains to prevent the Sopho-
mores from “happening” to dis-
cover tune of said song.

The Sophomores are a devious
lot and. will stoop to vile tricks.
Beware, Freshmen,’ beware espe-
cially the gently confused giz!
who comes up to you with: “i
wasn’t at the meeting yesterday.
What is the tune?” There are
other methods, too, and more
subtle.

Historically, Parade Night cen-
ters in a bonfire. Led by the Bryn
Mawr Fire Company’s band blar-
ing forth the sacred tune, lit by
Juniors bearing blue lanterns, the
Freshmen march from Pembroke
Arch to the Hockey Field, rolling
and. tumbling madly down a hill
to the huge fire surrounded by a
ring of Sophomores, determined to

let no Freshmen break through to

the fire. The band crashes loud-
er and louder, the fire gets hotter
and hotter and hotter, as does the
fire, and the ring is broken.
Harmony again reigns, how-
ever, as everyone gathers to sing
college and class songs in Pem
Arch, and hall parties given by
the Sophomores for the Fresh-

men follow immediately after.

Unending Search for Building Like Church
Fails to Daunt Naive Freshmen Conscience



er ve:

By April Oursler, ’46

One hundred and seventy Fresh-
men arrived at Bryn Mawr Col-
lege on Thursday, September 21,
1944; Such is the bare fact of
the case—but much has gone on
since Wednesday, and ’48 has made
its mark already. Freshmen
blunders are a perennial topic of
conversation, but when the ma-
jority of Taylor water-cooler con-
versations concerned themselves
with detailed explanations of the
workings of a drill-press or the
fine points of the high finances of
the summer, ’48 sounds as familiar
as ’45.

The Freshman conscience, con-
sidered variously as a disease by
the upperclassmen, and an admir-
able feature by the professors,, ex-
hibited itself early. Merion, “rowaed
itself at 8 A. M. ‘Pharsday to ‘find’

And, of course, there was the
Denbigh Freshman. who wanted
to know when to begin studying
for comprehensives, and the two
who screamed for an upperclase-
man at midnight to ask her if she
felt that God could be Fate... .

Among the other accomplish-
ments of the class is_ its size,
which though second to ’46, fills
the college to its greatest resi-
dent capacity. Two members of
the class are even sleeping in re-
converted smoking rooms, but
which two remains a _ carefully
guarded secret—unless Self-Gov’t
finds a last year’s cigarette butt.
And two helpful souls, doubtless
well acquainted with the housing
shortage, overwhelmed Miss Howe

Dear Freshmen:

We know what you’re thinking. You're sitting on the
edge of that new bed and you’re saying to yourself, What

Am I Doing Here?
This Place, Bryn Mawr?

What Will It All Come To? What Is

Finding the answer to these questions is a problem in

proportion.

How much is college to pervade your living?

How much are your campus life, your campus friends, your
campus thoughts to fill your thinking?

Not, we hope, too much.

Not so much that your life

will be geared to abstract ideas, sheltered ideas, only. Not
so much that college will become your intellectual ice - box
where facts and theories are shelved—for observation only.

We don’t want to overwork the statement which an-

nounces the year of 144-1945 as a-crucial year.

But we

know this is not the time-of-century to watch.—It isa time
which demands participation, a time to help build and to di-

rect.

June, 1948, is too late a date to step from the cloisters
and go forth to greet the world. The year of 1944 asks that
you live a real and mature life now—and here at college.

So don’t forget the cities and the subways. Dont’ for-
get the great big beautiful humdrum world. Link it to Bryn

Mawr. Keep the proportions.



Non-resident Freshmen Instructed on W hys

And Wherefores of Campus Life by Veteran



This is prinarily for consump-
tion, information, elation or con-
solation of the temporary residents
of Rock. In short, it is directed to
those Freshmen invariably sub-
jected to the following treatment:

Interrogator: “What hall do you
live in?” »

Our heroine: “I’m a Non-Res.”

Interrogator: (gently) “Oh.”

Note to our heroine: This will
go on for four years.

Beginning Wednesday morning
your base of operations will be an
all-purpose non-descript room. The
location of the Non-Resident cloak
room in the Library defies all at-
tempts at exposition. The New
Wing basement is about the best
we can do. Then just follow the
smoke. The functions of the room
vary with the hour. Dressing
room, study hall, lunch room, play
room, study room, dressing room
is about the order. When the Non-
Reses finally attained a minimum
of organization, three years ago,
they tried to give the room a hom-
ey touch. Of course, it all depends
on from what sort of home you



come.

Two years ago two infiovations
sharply altered Non-Resident life.
Both were undisguised imitations
of Resident customs. The first
was the attempted imposition of
quiet hours. This proved to be an
ill-starred adventure which suc-
ceeded only in the absence of those
who voted against it in the first
place. The second new feature
was a fitting counterpart to quiet
hours. It started when someone
surreptitiously dropped a deck of
cards on the premises. This has
resulted in continuous thirteenth
rubbers and no need for quiet
hours.

The Non-Residents themgelves
fall roughly into two groups:
Those who do it by choice. The
others. Most will agree in more
pliable frames of mind that “it
isn’t so bad.” Some will shout de-
fiantly that they wouldn’t, “Res”
it for love or money.

The room is not merely a haven
for the homeless. Residents drop
in on occasion; the occasion is us-
ually a cigarette.

An outline of the long English
paper was handed in reading, “a.
I like Willa Cather’s books.
“Why?” It ended: “Theoretically,
I think this would work in the
given ‘circumstances. Whether it
would or not remains to be seen.”

Professor’s comment: “Theoret-
ically, yes.” :

One Freshman was’ moved to
write a review of the class Fresh-
man Show, given in February.
“Just to pick up the script of
Asleep and Better to be thag, Way,”
to read for pleasure,” she wrote, “‘is
a waste of time. In it no—or very
littl—enjoyment can be found.
Obviously, without the assets a
stage and actors can give it, it is
flat. Enough! You have probably
already commented to yourself
that’a Freshman Show is meant to
be no more than a cage in which
to place the animal. Ridiculous?
Funny? Why, yes. I admit that.
The crux: of my criticism lies in!
the fact that it should be funny in
a sensible way. Asleep and Better
to be that Way is not.

‘\A priceless comment, however,
was the following: “This will do
very well for hors d’oeuvres. Need
I say more about its limitations?”

The titles of other compositions
give an inkling of the treasure
piled up in Taylor waiting to ‘be
again released by graduation in
the spring. “Don’t pick up riders
—especially twins.” “There were
two cars,” “Along the Elysian
Fields,” “Slavery to Convention?”
“Things Happen for the Best,”
“The Triumph of Good over Bad.”

Any and all outworn chairs are
magnificently reupholstered,
