scholar, and Marie Solmi, a well-
known professor of Art. -Instead
of seeing slides in their art class-
es, the group visits galleries and
museums to see the actual works
of art; and they have had “the ex-
traordinary opportunity to see the
doors of the Baptistry, those of
Ghiberti which Michelangelo call-
ed the doors of Paradise, and those
of Pisano, They were taken down
during the war and hidden; now.
they are in the still unopened Uf-
fizi. They were carefully cleaned
of the dirt of the centuries and
were found to be gilded and incred-
ibly beautiful. In addition to
this they see the plays that they
read in class, and attend the op-
eras, ballets, and concerts that are
presented in Florence.
In Florence the girls have had
their shoes made to order; there
seems to be a contest as to who
can have the most individual pair,
for the Florentines are known as
great designers of shoes. Going to
tea at the professors’ studies is a
favorite pastime for they discuss
everything from pbobby-pins to
Communism. As a_ concluding
thought, the girls write “we really
feel at home in this country, and
at times it is a jar when people call
us foreigners.”

Father Coleman
To Lead Chapel
On Sunday, February 22nd, the
Reverend Michael E,. Coleman, Can-
on Missioner of British Columbia,
Victoria, B. C., will be the chapel
speaker. His topic is as yet un-
announced.
Father Coleman is well-known to
most students at Bryn Mawr. He
spoke last year at the Deanery and
was also here the year before. This
is the first time that he will con-
duct a chapel service, since former-
ly he was able to come only during
the week.
Father Coleman was the minister
of All Hallow’s Church in London
before the blitz, going to Canada
after its bombing. During the sum-
mer he runs a camp for both chil-
dren and adults.

wear gowns; the chorus wears caps
