League History,
Role on Campus
Clarified by Lee

Specially Contributed by
«Jeanne Marie Lee, °45



The Bryn Mawr League as we
know it today “provides for the
social services and religious ac-
tivities on campus.” One of the

- oldest organizations from the point

of view of its function, it has gone
through various stages of develop-
ment, each of which is important
in understanding the purposes of
the League.

In 1895 the Bryn Mawr under-
graduates formed an organization
called the “Christian Union”, the
organization which sponsored the
religious activities... Then eight
years later, another group which
was Snot in agreement with: the
principles of the “Christian Union”
organized the “League for the Ser-
vice of Christ’. It seemed pointless,
however, to have two rival organi-
zations on campus and so in 1910
these two groups merged to form
the “Christian Association”.

The “Christian Association” was
still interested in furthering re-
ligious activities but it also in-
creased the scope of its philanthro-
pic services both on campus’ as
well as off. Then in 1928 there was
another upheaval, the “Christian
Association” was cast aside as be-
ing dated and the “Bryn” Mawr
League” took its place, carrying
on the same work but backed by
a different spirit.

The League Board is, composed
of a President, a Secretary,. rep-
resentatives from the Freshman
and Sophomore classes, the Non-



Stevenson Views

Red Cross Work

Red Cross Girls Called
Essential to Morale.

Of Soldiers



Goodhart, March 14: Launching
a campaign for campus-wide Red
Cross contributions, Mrs. Eleanor
Stevenson addressed an Alliance
Assembly. on the importance of
Red Cross Girls. Mrs. Stevenson
has written about her numerous

experiences for the Saturday Ev-'|'

ening Post under the title, “I
Knew Your Soldier’, and was in-
troduced by Mary Kay Snyder,
Chairman of the Campus Red
Gross unit.

The clubmobile to which Mrs.
Stevenson was attached went- to
Italy with the Fifth Army and
upon arrival they were immediate-
ly asked to assist. The girls with
the clubmobiles not only distribut-
ed material comforts such as
toothbrushes,.soap and_ shaving
cream, but they also provided com-
panionship for the soldiers:
¢ Mrs. Stevenson stressed the im-
portance of writing to soldiers of
the things which interest them, to
help maintain their ties with their
homes. She pointed oyt that wo-
men are. absolutely necessary
from the morale standpoint as
well as the medical, helping the
soldiers to write letters, sing, play
musical instruments, and to re-
lieve the strain of combat and

homesickness. The Red Cross
Girls, said Mrs. Stevenson, must
learn to adjust themselves the

varying demands which wilP be
made on them,
their emotions. They are partic-
ularly important in maintaining
the soldier’s trust in his friends,

10 Hour Nurses’

Aides Discover

Hospital Work Demands Stamina



by Rosina. Bateson °47

The name of Florence Nightin-
gale summons up a Vision of an-
gelic aid in time of stress,. gliding
through an antiseptic hospital,
soothing the fevered brows of
handsome lads. The sixty-four dol-
lar question of Bryn Mawr’s soon-
to-be-capped Aides is how she did
ud :

It would seem easy, when stand-

ing in front of a friendly college

audience in a starched blue pina-
fore, clean white shoes, and hair
net clinging rather becomingly.
Everything is against this band-
box impression, The third bed-
bath finishes the once spotless uni-
form, a patient with an eye for
detail discovers that the Red Cross
emblem has been sewed on upside

- down, and twenty minutes over the

sterilizer causes the hair to look
like a tossed salad. One ray of
hope remains: the Aide whom a

patient addresses as “nurse”, tell-,

ing her that his bed has never felt
so comfortable or his teeth so
clean, will immediately feel like
the angel of the lamp personified.
Work in a hospital is not an easy
job, according to most Nurses’
Aides. It takes elbow-grease and
a so-called bedside manner to ac-
complish what has to be done. Tact
tial; a sense of humor

helps. The first time an Aide is
confronted by a very toothy pair of

_ uppers and lowers to brush in the

utility room is an indescribable
experience.
in the-process of making an occu-

Losing a draw-sheet.



pied bed, oe having to scramble
frantically for it is shattering to
the confidence, especially when
the patient drawls laconically,
“This is your first day here, isn’t
it?”

A brisk and authoritative stroll
down the corridor with a tray of
thermometers is soul-satisfying.
That is, until the lady in the last
bed. is discovered to have chronic

-hiccoughs, so that taking her_res-

piration is well-nigh impossible.
Or until the head nurse asks calm-
ly why Mr. X’s temftrature has
risen from normal to}103 in four
hours. The discovery that he had
consumed.-a cup of boiling tea just
before, the thermometer was put
well under his tongue relieves the
temporary frenzy.
The morning speeds by. Savory
whiffs escape from the kitchen, and
the patients begin to wiggle hun-
grily. As a good five hours have
‘elapsed since breakfast, the Aides
are in the same state. The one ob-

.jection voiced from the ranks of

the Bryn Mawr contingent was
overheard in the linen closet, a
plaintive wail to the effect’ that
feeding a patient lamb-chops. and
broccoli was not nearly as much
fun as feeding herself the same,
and great self-control had to be
exercised in preventing the fork
from heading in the wrong direc-
tion. “But I managed!” she con-
cluded triumphantly. Somehow,
after one day in a hospital, an Aide
feels that come what may, this
statement still will hold true.

Ezban Discusses

Egyptian History



Common Room, March 13. When
Europe’ was. going *through its
medieval period, Egypt ‘was in its
Renaissance, .declared Mr. Selim
Ezban in his lecture on Modern
Egypt. The country’ then fell to
the Turkish Empire and became a
mere province of the Ottoman Em-
pire.

After the failure of a Napoleon-
ic expedition, Mohammed Ali, tak-
ing advantage of the chaos, be-
came head of the Egyptian gov-
ernment, advocating autonomy,
Mr. Ezban said. Fearing the pre-
datory tendencies of England and
France, the leader opposed the
proposed Suez Canal.

When his-son Ismail, came to
power, he. finally’acceded, to the
construction, and here, Mr. Ezban
declared, began the history of
Modern Egypt. “The canal _ be-
came one of the nerve centers of
British and French policy of im-
perialism.”.

England originally had no share
in. the de Lesseps canal, and only
the region
when the British Lord Cromer
was sent to Egypt to settle the
financial difficulties of Ismail.

In spite of the low rate of lit-
eracy in Egypt (actually less than
10%) British to better the situation. The French
missionary schools were the main
educational organs. Education
has become a mixture of. Western
progressivism and Orthodox Kor-
an teaching, Mr. Ezban noted.
The reconciliation .of the two cul-
tures seems impossible, he added,
since the Islam religion is also a
social system, permeat g the
whole structure of life. That great
progress’ fas been made is illus-
trated by a new status of women
in many fie resulting from the
Feminist mévement, which was
begun in 1904 by Casin.

Single Donation To Be
Made by Combining
Contributions





The campus drive for contribu-
tions to the National Red Cross,
officially opened today by the Red
Cross Assembly, will continue until
Sunday, March 18, in an attempt
to get a larger contribution than
ever before from all members of
the college community.

$200,000,000 is the goal set by
the Red Cross for its nation-wide
drive. This sum, named as _neces-
sary to cover its needs for the com-
ing year, will finance such activi-
ties as the training of Nurses’
Aides; the giving of information
and financial assistance to service
men and their families; the pro-
vision of social service, recreation,
and entertainment for the sick and
wounded; and the work of collect-
ing ‘blood plasma and _ preparing
surgical dressings.

Since the money given by the
undergraduate body will be com-
bined with thé faculty and Fresh-
man Show donations, as a single
contribution in,the name of Bryn
Mawr College, an integrated col-
lecting system has been set up.

Curriculum Committee

During the past year, the Curriculum Committee has
come to play an increasingly important part in campus life;
it has conducted polls on English Composition, rescheduling,
the cut system, arid science requirements; and has been in-
strumental in presenting student opinion on controversial
subjects in a coherent and reasonable form to the faculty.
Though the Committee can only recommend changes, its pro-
posals have frequently led to the introduction of new ar-
rangements and the revision of existing methods. 5

The Committee was established as a permanent organi-
zation in 1923. It:has the specific function of examining in-
dividual complaints about courses and, if advisable, referring
the problem to the department in question or the Dean’s of-
fice; but it possesses the broader and vastly more important
purpose of providing constant re- -examination of the curric-
ulum and particularly of the manner in which it answers the
needs of a likeral education.

The Committee consists of representatives elected by the
students in each department; of these, four or five are chos-
en to form the central‘committee which works with the fac-
ulty, and this year has held three meetings with them. Be-
cause of the significant role which the Committee has come
to play it is increasingly important that:students should be
careful and serious about the election of representatives.

- This year the Committee has done an unusually large
amount of polling and tabulating of student opinions on con-
troversial subjects dealing with curriculum. As a result of
the Committee’s poll‘on English Composition held last spring,

_ the course this year has been revised in line with some of the

recommendations. It has conducted polls on the rescheduling

question this winter and has presented the student point of |

view to both the Faculty Curriculum Committee and the vais
ulty Rescheduling Committee.

The Committee worked with the eee ee ae ee

‘in developing the present cut system.and tabulated student
opinion on the revision. A week ago the Committee conduct-
ed a poll on the value of Psychology as a required science
and with it the problem of science requirements a whole.

* The Committee polls on English Composition and Psy-
chology are part of a review begun by the Committee last

year of the whole problem of required subjects in the col-.

lege. It is in work such as this that the broader and more

. Significant function of the Committee is brought into play.

The worth of a liberal education lies not only in its perman-

-ent value but also in-its applicability to the modern world.

_,This last requirement necessitates constant review and in
some cases revision. In order to give the students a better
_-appreciation. of the problems involved_in-such considerations,

; a. Commitige has tentatively considered the holding of a

student forum dealing with the nature and operation of lib-
eral education. In its fulfillment of this function of review

Current Events





Mrs. Manning, whose Current
Events lecture weuld ordinarily be
reported in this space, has asked
us to reprint an article from The
New York Times, March 18, 1945.
Mrs. Manning felt that the article
was important and pertinent to the
whole French situation on which
she spoke ‘Monday night, and
should not pass unnoticed:

The New York Times has kind-
ly given us permission to reprint
this article as it appeared in their
paper:

Paris,-March 11—The sad and
deteriorating state of health of
France was the object of gloomy
attention in the Consultative As-
sembly today as it studied the
$400,000,000 budget submitted by
the Ministry. of Health.

During the past winter, accord-
ing to Assembly Cémmittee Re-
porter Georges Marrane, 70 per
cent of the French men and 50
per cent of the women lost more
.than ten pounds in weight while in-
fant mortality rose 40 per cent
over pre-war figures,

He said that the number of. tu-
bercular cases in Paris was now
48 per cent greater than in 19389
and -that the number of cases of
venereal diseases had_quintupled.
More than 250,000 prisoners of
war and deportees are suffering
from active tuberculosis, he added,
and there is nowhere near enough
space in the sanatoria to care for
them.

For More Knowledge
Of Candidates



Dear Editor:

Isn’t there anything that can be
done for the many Freshmen (and
upperclassmen) who’ve been hav-
ing a hard time voting in the re-
cent election because. they haven’t
known many of the candidates?
The News articles are-a help, but
just a cut and dried list of a can-
didate’s activities isn’t enough. A
good officer, in addition to*experi-
ence, needs.the personality to’ fit
the office, and the News could
never attempt to give us informa-
tion about this.

Why can’t the candidates give
brief speeches so that we could at
least judge their poise and get
some notion of the type of person
they are? Of course the objection
is raised about the lack of time, but
I consider that our organizations
are important enough to warrant
our giving some time to choosing

their officers. Furthermore, only
the more important officers would
have to give speeches, and speeches
could be substituted—for—having
the candidates present proposed
amendments, etc. to the halls (as

Returning after a long ‘absence

her classes handed back a paper
to her, saying that he thought it
was good. Then he stopped and
looked seriously at her. “But,” he
criticized, “you. should take out
your appendix.” She -recovered
from her shock, when the profes-
sor explained that he meant the
appendix to the paper.

A first year student of German
ran into a very. difficult phrase

“This,” said she, “means that I

Bryn Mawr’s contribution to the work of the Red Cross
has been greater this year than ever before. The introduc-

in addition to the work of blood doning, and bandage rolling
has greatly widened the scope of student activity in this field.

Yet we must realize that our work is not enough, for the
training and materials involved are ‘all financed by the Red
Cross. And more than this, the Red Cross has played a vi-

to the men overseas, or through service to the eee
in which we live.

The Red Cross has not only procured over five million
pints of blood, and produced over 775 million surgical dress-

salvage, and distributed eleven million food packages and
other relief supplies to American war prisoners in the last
year. It has also spent over one hundred million dollars. for

Of Modern Dance «a

Defended



To the Editor:

Recent letters to the News
have shown that various facts
about the position of Modern
Dancing on the: campus are mis-
understood or unknown.

The complaint has been’ made
that the Physical Education De-
partment has not given proper
recognition to Modern Dancing
as a sport. ® When a popular de-
mand for Modern Dancing was
first expressed on campus in 1936,
the Physical Education Depart-
ment brought Doris Humphrey, a
dancer of international reputation,
from New York to teach. The
classes were given a place in the
regular gym hours. From about
one hundred members at the be-
ginning the classes shortly dwin-
died to six or seven!

Despite this discouraging at-
tempt and. successive ones, the
Physical Education Department a
few years .ago brought Malvena
Taiz, the outstanding exponent of
the Modern Dance in Philadelphia,
to teach weekly classes. These
now include thirteen members tak-
ing Modern Dancing as a_ sport
with full gym credit. The Phys-
ical Education Department sup-
ports only one other sport, of how-
ever large a following, to such an
extent as to bring in an outside
expert to teach weekly classes.

| League President

€ 7

“The only way people know me,”
said Gogo Waldman, when ‘awak-
ened from a comfortable doze be-
foré the Rock fire, “is that I am
always asking people to go to the
Blind School.”

Gogo has been interested in the
League and its activities since her
Freshman year and plans, as Pres-
ident, to see that the League gets
more publicity. The Campus should
“become more aware of the work
“done ‘by the League,” she said, as
it takes care of the needs of many
community. organizations and is
feally essential .to them.

When the results of the election
were known, enthusiastic friends
caught her during the recess of a
two-hour lecture in politics. “They
made me cut my favorite class,”
She ‘said sadly. Besides her devo-
tion to her politics major, Gogo is
Chairman of Red Cross knitting.

“It is going to~be hard to fol-
low in Nanot’s footsteps,” Gogo
said, “because she’s done such a
good job.” Gogo plans to stimu-
late real enthusiasm for League
Work and hopes to see a Summer
Camp teeming with children.

Bruchholz States

Allianee Policies



Dorrie Bruchholz, as the new
president of the War Alliance, de-
clared that her policy for the com-
_ ing year will be to” broaden the

base of the organization by giving
it more of a potential tone than
previously. She considers that
what the campus lacks most is an
organization in which political
opinion can be expressed and
through which there may be active
participating in political contro-
versies.

The greatest emphasis will be
on_ reconstruction problems, inas-
much as the war in Europe is
drawing to a close. Also on her
program is a plan to_.emphasize
work in community war organiza-
tions such as the United Nations’
Council and the League of Women
Voters. In order to insure devel-
opment of community responsibil-
ity and establish greater unity
through increased. cooperation
with the Graduate School and
Faculty, a graduate student has
been added to the Board.

Dorrie is practically void in the
matter of pet peeves, for as she
said, “I like everything, especially
Ball, Staassen; skiing, sailing and
the Near East.” (‘She hasn’t quite
decided whether she is a Socialist,
a Communist, a Pacifist, or a plain
New Dealer, but she may turn out

Hedge is Voted

President of A. A.

Deep in conversation in the Bi-
ology laboratory, Alice Hedge and
Miss Oppenheimer were trapped by
a reporter. Informed that an in-
terview was desired, Hedgy opened
incredulous eyes upon discovering
that she and not Miss Oppenheimer
was the prospective victim.

Hedgy, new president ofthe

Athletic “Association: hopes to en-
courage interclass and _ interhall
games in the coming year. De-
claring that physical ed was the
one requirement she really enjoyed
and the only one she passed first
try, Hedgy dreams of an adding
machine for the A. A. treasurer
and a new gym with a higher roof
to permit high diving.
, She spendsher—time— between
Dalton and the gym and virtually
supports the Bell Telephone Com-
pany in contracting managers for
the games. Discouraged by the
number of requirements needed to
graduate, Hedgy said wistfully:
“I’m a Biology major, but every
time I get near graduating one
more thing jumps up.” She seems,
however, to have cleared the phys-
ical education and hygiene hurdles
with athletic ease.

Sipping tea .provided by the
Physiology department on the fire

escape of Dalton is her favorite |—

pastime, and she says she should

have a degree in home economics, |
'

for the Biology course has suc-
ceeded in teaching her how to use
the electric refrigerator, manufac-
ture ice cubes, and operate the
pressure cooker.

Over Rosemont

Second Team Conquers,

wn
Gymnasium, - March .10. The

Owl first basketball team came
through with its second victory of
the season when/it defeated Rose-
mont 27-25. The game was charac-
terized by quick straight passing
and accuraté shooting on the part
of the-fofwards, and beautifully

the guards. The Owls kept the
score /in their favor through the
entiye game but the last quarter
was very tense as the Rosemont
team struggled to gain the lead.
The ball was kept at their end of
the court a good part of the time
but the successful blocking of the
B. M. guards prevented their for-
wards from doing much shooting.

The outcome of the second team
game was clearly another Byrn
Mawr victory from the middle of
the second quarter on. The high-
spot of the game came in the third
quarter when Aggie Nelms 746

War Poets Show _
Resurge of Hope



Specially contributed by
Eunice W. Clark

Common Room, March 8.: Love,
liberty and hope characterized the
poetry of the resistance movement,
as described by. Mr. Philippe Sou-
pault in his lecture “La Poesie de
rta Resistance.” M. Soupault, one
-of the founders of surrealism, is
a noted poet himself and axprom-
inent: member of the resistance
movement.

M. Soupault selected four poems
to illustrate the poetry of the re-
sistance. Louis Aragon’s “Les li-
las et les roses” from his book,
Creve-Coeur, presents love as the
one redemption, the one means of
rising above the daily round. With
the great success of this volume
Aragon became France’s national
poet. Ribemont-d’Essaignes’ poem,
“Liberte, liberte, cherie,’ shows
the vitality of this poet and the
new appreciation of liberty.

“Une seule pensee,” by Paul
Eluard, described by M. Soupault
as the most authentically French
poet, is’ the most widely read of
the resistance poems, registering
the desire of France for the res-
toration of liberty. Finally, M.
Soupault cited one of his own



e-middle of the center line.

poems, “Ode a Londres-bombarde.”
