To The Class of 1951

In spite of the fact that more university students than
ever before are enrolled this year in the United States, it is

still a privilege to go to college.

But unless we take full ad-

vantage of this opportunity four years at Bryn Mawr will
perhaps leave us no better fitted for an adult role in life than
the person who has not had this advantage.

“Getting the most out of college” does not involve being
either the “Cloister-oyster” or the “Rah-rah” girl, but is
‘instead a happy amalgamation of study and college activi-
' ties. Presumably we have come to Bryn Mawr for a liberal
education; to develop the powers of thought and expression
that are demanded of an enlightened adult.

The academic life at Bryn Mawr is important: it is half

the reason we came here. But, as some people never realize,

ing the bust of Aeschylus, was per-
haps. the hit of the evening, in
which the faculty proved the best
advertisement for their own cause.

The outstanding visitor to the
“history-haunted young ladies” of
Bryn Mawr was historian Profes-
sor Arnold J. Toynbee, author of
A Study of History, who came
from England in February to de-
liver the annual Flexner lectures.
His series of six lectures on “En-
counters Between Civilizations,”
drew visitors from as far away as
Minnesota. Other prominent speak-
ers of the year included the Brit-
ish novelist E. M. Forster, who
read selections from his own works,
Cord Meyer, Jr., and Miss Frances
Perkins, Secretary of Labor in the
Roosevelt cabinet.

Last spring Bryn Mawr even
broke into the movies. Photogra-
phers prowled the campus, hung
from the rafters and waited in
vain for the sun to come out. Al-

most every student had her chance

before the bright lights. The re-

sult will be seen this fall when the
college movie is released.
Chorus Activity

The Chorus had a full year,

\reaching a climax when the Har-

vard Glee Club joined it to present
a brilliant concert of Lenten music.
A Christmas concert was given
with Haverford, and part of. the
chorus journeyed to Vassar to take
part in a seven-college sing. Rob-

legiate Chorale in New York, con-
ducted an open rehearsal, also at-
tended by the Haverford and
Swarthmore glee clubs. The chorus
even had its radio debut over a

Creative Work

1946-47 was also marked by
Bryn Mawr’s second Arts’ Night,
-| written and directed entirely by
Bryn Mawr and Haverford stu-
dents. Two one-act plays, original
music and dancing comprised the |
program, while there was also al
display of undergraduate painting
and sculpture in the Goodhart
foyer. The demand for more rec-
ognition and opportunity in the
creative fields was answered by the
establishment of the Katherine
Fullerton Gerould Memorial
Prize, to be awarded annually to a
Bryn Mawr student submitting the
best original work in the fields of
informal essay, short story, longer
narrative, verse or playwriting.

Where to Dine,
Drink and Dance

Shown by NEWS

The morale building division of
the College News has dug up the
following vital statistics as a guide
to extra-curricular activities in the
more frivolous line. As a.Bryn
Mawr Freshman you will eat, per-
haps more than you do 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 °
cure for all types of nervous break-
down, but the night-life of Phila-
delphia and vicinity is not to be
underestimated.

Within walking distance: If you
sleep through breakfast, if you are
starved after lab, or if Aunt Jenny
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 elaborate teas try the Cot-
tage Tearoom on Montgomery Ave-
nue or the Community Kitchen
(marvelous icebox cake) on Lan-
caster Pike. Meth’s in the Vill is
both a soda fountain and a bakery.

If you, like many, must nave
food before you go to bed, try the
Greeks (Bryn Mawr Confection-
ery) for cokes and elaborate sun-
daes. It has been newly decorated
with blue leather’ seats, Hamburg
Hearth specializes in hamburgers,
milkshakes and French-fried po-
tatoes, while the Last Straw in
Haverford is also a haven for
many.

After dark: You can dance at
the Covered Wagon and eat a most
satisfactory dinner there. The Blu
Comet on Lancaster Pike offers
sandwiches, coffee and a juke box.
More drinking than dancing at the
General Wayne and Wynnewood

cocktails at McIntyre’s Manna Bar
in Ardmore. For turkey dinners,
the Conestoga Mill on County Line
the King of Prus-
sia Inn—where Washington stop-
ped. If you must
and don’t mind sifting on the floor
between dances, you can go to Sun-
nybrook in Pottstown.
Philadelphia: Before concerts or
in the middle of a shopping spree,
