Slade Reports
Million Passed
In College Fund

$155,327.65 is Raised
Toward Next Year’s
Drive Quota

Gocdhart, June 3.—“The Alum-
nae of Bryn Mawr College have
the honor of announcing that the
first million has been raised for
the Fund,” reported Mrs. Caroline
McCormick Slade, chairman of the
Bryn Mawr College Fund 1946—,
to President McBride and the Col-
lege at the Commencement exer-
cises. Not only has this year’s
quota been filled, but $155,327.65
has already been collected toward
the second million, Mrs. Slade re-
vealed.

The chairman commended the
devotion and work of Bryn Mawr
alumnae, graduate students and
undergraduates toward this two-
year drive, the principal purpose
of which is to raise the scale of
faculty salaries. The
which has been roused in Bryn
Mawr by undergraduates through-
out the country was. particularly
cited by Mrs. Slade.

Venturi Analyzes

Origin of Trends
In Modern Art

Goodhart, May 16.—“To_ under-
stand what is modern in art, we
must know the moral endeavor of
modern times,” stated Dr. Lionello
Venturi, professor of Art History
in Rome, in a discussion of the
“Origins of Modern Painting.” In
this first of two illustrated lec-
tures, sponsored by Bryn Mawr in
conjunction with the University of
Pennsylvania. Mr. Venturi analyz-
ed the origins of modern art and
the relations between painting and
the main trends of civilization.

The two revolutions from which
modern art springs occurred from
1880 to 1890 and from 1905 to
1914, declared Mr. Venturi. The
first revolution was a crisis of Im-
pressionism, a complicated phe-
nomenon which emphasized the
sensibilities rather than the imag-
ination. The post-Impressionists
- subjected the subject matter ‘
their work to “motive.” This schéol
is represented by Cezanne, Seurat,
Gaugin, Van Gogh and the earliest
work of Toulouse-Lautrec.

Cezanne.was the master of the
whole trend, detaching the world
of art from that, of. nature, which
developed into current abstract art.
Gaugin, Mr. Venturi pointed out,
revolted against Impressionism,
wanting to paint: from memory
tather. than from a model. His
images become symbolic. Also, he
represents the kind of Primitivism
that follows the art not of distant
ages, but of distant countries, Mr.
Venturi added. Van Gogh subdued

Robert L. Calhoun

Delivers Sermon
At Baccalaureate

Goodhart, Sunday, June
“Man needs a spiritual sense for
continuing his direction and mean-
ing,” said Dr. Robert L. Calhoun
tonight in the Baccalaureate Serv-
ice for the graduating class of
1947. Dr. Calhoun posed the ques-
tion, “What does it mean to be hu-
man?” and quoted from the fa-
mous letter of St. Paul.’

However, said Dr. Calhoun, we
are God’s farmland as well as the
tillers of that farmland and it is
we who must bring about a new
order by fully comprehending our
present pattern of life. One of
the characteristics which distin-
guishes man from the animal is his
ability to work,

Man’s initial needs were simple
and his primary need is still for a
place where he can work, learn,
express himself and seek to better
his life. Work done, however, for
glorification, is irrelevant and
wasted; a moral integrity is neces-
sary. Another prime
without which there can be no last-
ing accomplishment, is the quality
of “love” on the part of the work-
man for his materials, his job and
his employers.

Technical skill and _ intellectual
advance are compatible, said Dr.
Calhoun, where there is an under-
standing of others, a love for one’s
fellow human and a standard for
human action.

Harriman’s Paper
Wins Dante Prize

The Italian Department an-
nounces that Ellen Harriman, ’48,
has been awarded a special prize
by the Dante Society of Cam-
bridge, Massachusetts, for a paper
on “The Angels in Dante’s Divina
Commedia.”

Miss Harriman illustrated her
work with original drawings. It
was written in connection with the
course, Dante in English Transla-
tion.



By Judy daSilva, ’49

There comes a time in the life
of every senior when she arrives
at last at that oasis between the
deserts of classes and comprehen-
sives which is known-as Class Day.
On this festive occasion, certain
carefully-selected members of the
graduating class are given an op-
portunity to display to the other
members of the student body the
fruits of four years of diligence
and research in their respective
fields and to attempt to prove that
these fruits are, despite superficial
appearances, peaches and not lem-
ons.

The mrst speaker was Liz Dow-
ling, attired in a rather familiar-

promptly announced that she was
a famous Russian daticer and that
she “vas born on da banks uf da
Nepper Reever.” Miss Dowling, a

Latin major, decided to restrict
her talk to classical subjects. She
began with a brief resume of the
course known as Sex 202, “which







is followed by Sex 302, The Fam-

looking white ballet costume, who.



Class Day Features Ballerina

ily:” ‘Most of her lecture was de-
voted to “men, those peculiar phe-
nomena who look as though they
belong in their pants.” She em-
bellished the discussion with vari-
ous quotations from her wide read-
ing in Latin literature, discussing
at some length “fato profugis, or
love at first sight,” and, “the the-
ory of E Pluribus Unum, or, does
he have a friend for my room-
mate.” She concluded her address
with “a. few practical suggestions
not included in the hygiene read-
ing” on the subject of how to en-
snare the male animal.

The distance between Latin and
science may seem great to the un-
initiated, but the experienced Bryn
Mawrter knows that its really as
short as that between Taylor and
Dalton. At this latter stronghold
‘of knowledge and bacteria the stu-
a| dent body’ assembled to the second

June, 1947

With comprehensives safely behind them, the Seniors
have already begun to enjoy Life. We are pleased to note
that sunburns have replaced library pallors and that a few
days in the World have served to erase harassed looks.

But, on a more serious level, the adaptability of this
class has been seen before. The class of 1947 entered Bryn
Mawr during the blackest part of the war years. They are
being graduated into.a world which, although technically at
peace, offers no one an immediate clue to its confusion, a
world in many ways more difficult to face than a world at
war, in which the issues seem, at least, to be clear-cut.

This class successfully combined academic work with a
variety of volunteer services. Although their range of in-
terests has changed since then, they have continued to show
originality and enthusiasm in their work and outside activ-
ities.

_ Whatever they do, they go on from Bryn Mawr to try,
each in her own way, to put into practice the knowledge and
ideals they have learned here. Now, as they are graduated,
we are confident of their abilities. We wish them all good
luck and a reluctant farewell. et



| The | Half-Wa ark

Bryn Mawr undergraduates, who have collected nearly
a third again of their quota for the Bryn Mawr College Fund
1946—, are to be congratulated, not only for the actual money
collected, but for the continued interest and enthusiasm

_ shown throughout the year. !

Halls and students, not to mention an enterprising fac-
ulty which went to work on the assumption that God helps
those who help themselves, devised various methods of money
raising, besides individual solicitation. From the Freshman
Show, the Sophomore Carnival, the Junior Show, to hall auc-
tions, lemonade-selling, and errand-running, almost every-
one did her bit—if occasionally because there was nothing
else to do, in most cases willingly and ingeniously.

Although the students have reached their quota for the
year, the Drive itself is only half over. Next year’s final ef-

' fort will be difficult: individual solicitations will probably net

Jess, so that it will be necessary to plan more ways to reach

_ the new goal. Let this year’s two thousand dollar over-sub- see

form to pure color, which gave a
religious and social content to his
painting.

The intervening period was the
refinement of the first revolution,
Mr. Venturi explained. At the
end of it, in the place of symbol-
ism, the Expressionist, the Cubists
and the “Fauves” sprang up.: The
trend was now away from abstrac-
tion to completeness, represented
by Matisse, Roualt® Picasso and
Bracque. With Matisse there came
an-even_more radical subjection of
form to color. The Cubists em-
phasized the physical side of form,
while the Surrealists were more
interested in the psychological
side.

All the origins of modern art
can be found in the trends before

ders of the scientific world. It is
customary for a science major to
give such a speech and Miss Mil-
ler’s major is English, but she ex-
plained away this slight discrep-
ancy by stating, “I think I may
safely assume that I’ve taken more

science courses for less credit than_/”

any other Bryn Mawr undergradu-.
ate.” The long saga entitled “Sci-.
€nce Marches on, with Miller
Limping Slowly Behind,” began.
four years ago, when Mrs. Brough-.
ton learned that Jackie owned a
nail file, an old cuticle scissor and
a slightly used razor blade and de-.
duced, naturally enough, that she:
and biology were just made for-
each other. During this course:
Miss Miller gave vent. to her liter-.
ary abilities by endlessly washing
her hands and crying “Out; out.
damned formaldehyde!” Having
decided that life with a dogfish
was not for her, Miss Miller then
attempted geology. But here, once
more, she stated sadly, “though.
my heart was in the highlands, my
grade was again in the low 50’s.”

Having shed many tears over
this sad saga, the students next
trotted down to the gym, where
they were greeted by Peggy
Oneil, who had chosen for her
subject the athletic requirement at.
Bryn Mawr. She reminisced brief-
ly about her freshman year—“It.
was an all girls’. college then,
that’s why I came.” In her first
year here she learned that she
could chose anything she wanted
to fill her athletic requirement—
“So naturally I chose bridge.” (In
her senior year she switched to
knitting argyles.) One require-
ment she did not have to worry
about, however, was the orals, for,
as Miss Oneil stated with justifi-
able pride, “I was always good at
talking.” The Freshman swimming
test was, however, a bit more of a
trial, although she fared better
than-a number of her friends, one
of who was last seen floundering
helplessly in the swimming pool
while her harassed father shouted
at her from the edge, “I’ve spent
$5,000 on your education—now
swim, damn it, swim!”

The quartet of addresses was
then completed by Libo Steinert’s
discussion of her life in the li-
brary. She related that her ac-
quaintance with this venerable
building began in freshman year
when she took the customary tour
and matters remained in this state
until her junior year when she
was surprised to discover that
there were things in it—books.

\

Miss Steinert also discussed the”

approved methods of choosing a
major, including such well-known
procedures as tossing a ‘catalogue
down a flight of stairs to see at
what page it opens and throwing
darts at a college bulletin which
has been.tacked to the wall.
tried all these herself and having
reached no _ satisfactory ‘ answer,
she adopted a method which was
all her own: “I saw something ir
the distance that I liked the looks
of, so I followed _it. Poor Dr.
Broughton didn’t have a chance’”
She ended her discussion with a
brief dissertation on the senti-
ments of the parents of the gradu-
ates as ‘the long-awaited occasion
draws near—“Well, dear, now that
you’ve learned to sing, what do we
do, send you to business school?”

A real fun-maker! Capitol’s Luxury

Portable Phonograph is completely different

...because it plays ANYWHERE

electronically. That means rich, really

smooth tones, just like you get

from your big radio. Plays on electric

(plug in) or on its dwn battery

(wind up)—both ways through the tubes!
Swell for the beach... for weekends

away...for the mountains.

Good-Bye!
Good Luck!
