K. McBride Proves Education
Worthy of Heavy Investments

President Announces Raises in Tuition and
Residence Fees and Explains
Student Commitments

Miss McBride began the opening
assembly of the second semester
by announcing the exact amount
of the increases in residence and
iuition fees approved by the Board
of Directors. She moved on, then,
to increases in scholarships, to
further economies and fund rais-
ing, and finally to the price of
education in terms of personal in-
vestment and commitment.

The tuition has been raised to
$70 in the undergraduate school,
and to $500 in the graduate school,
while the college will add
from income on endowment an
average of more than $600 for the
education of each student next
year. Actual residence costs must
be met by the students, however,
and an increase of $150 has been

authorized to help combat rising |.

costs.. The increases will mean no
more services to the students, but
will make possible some salary
increases, especially for the
faculty.
There.are two ways of looking
at the increased costs. First, col-
lege fees will only have risen 36%

in the past ten years, while costs] .

to the college have jumped 60%.
One may also think in terms of
special materials furnished, such
as books in the libraries and lab-
oratory equipment, of individual
conferences with professionals,
and of lectures. Considered in this
light, fees might be even greater,
but a college education is essen-
tial today, and costs to the stn-
dent must be kept as iow as pos-
sible.

Scholarships, Miss McBride con-
tinued, will have to be raised, too,
to enable those of limited re-
sources to stay in college, and to

counteract partially the limitation

of the economic group able to ap-
ply to a more expensive college.
At present the college fortunately
has a firm undergraduate scholar-
ship program, though the endow-
ment for graduate scholarships re-
mains “shdckingly low”.

Miss McBride emphasized that
the college must continue to hunt
for new economies, and must raise
new funds, both for immediate

It we ask “What price educa-
ulon”’, though, we are thinking in
terms of investment of time and
energy and ability, rather than
sheer monetary outlay. It becomes
an irreplacable investment, and
one wonders if it is ultimately
worthwhile. If it seems a worth-
while investment, one has in a
sense a commitment to the busi-
ness of education. It may be a
commitment resting on the pres-
ent, with the student wholly wrap-
ped in her studies. For other stu-
dents, it is an investment made
with the expectation of a later
return, either in further training
for a profession or in future satis-

Ford Foundation
Offers 5th Year
To College Grads

Bryn Mawr, Haverford and
Swarthmore Colleges are coop-
erating in a new program spon-
sored by the Fund for the Ad-
vancement of Education (Ford
foundation), for teacher training
in public schools, it was announced
on February 15, by the Presidents
ot the three colleges.

To increase the number of
qualified college graduates enter-
ing public school teaching, 21
eastern colleges have joined with
the Harvard Graduate School of
Education to inaugurate this co-
operative program for training
both elementary and _ secondary
school teachers.

The Fund for the Advancement
of Education is supporting the
program with $45,000 annually for
three years to provide fellowships,
and $33,000 annually for three
years in support of instruction
and administration.

The program provides:

1. Fellowships to enable grad-
uates of the cooperating colleges
to spend a fifth year of study at
Harvard, leading to the degree of
Master of Education (for elemen-
tary school teaching) or Master
of Arts in Teaching (for second-
ary school teaching).

2. An effort on the part of ail
cooperating colleges to develop in-
creased interest among their stu-
dents in public school teaching as
a career,

3. Investigations within each
college of ways of relating the-un-
dergraduate liberal arts program
and the graduate study of educa-
tion.

Emphasis in the fifth year of
study at Harvard will be placed on
a well-organized apprentice or in-
ternship experience for each stu-
dent taking up a major portion of

Dr. Berlin Notes ‘Modernism’
In Theories Of Romanticists _

States Thoughts of Helvetius and Holbach
Evidence a ‘“‘Central Vision”

Shaking Tradition

Monday night, February 11, Dr.
Isaiah Berlin discussed, in the first
Mary Flexner lecture for 1952,
Nature and the Science of Politics,
as revealed by Helvetius and Hol-
bach, early political theorists of
the Romantic era. The next lec-
tures in the series will also discuss
The Rise of Modern Political Ideas
in the Romantic Age: 1760-1830.
Dr. Berlin first explained that he
had chosen this era for his discus-
sion because it is more like the
modern age than any other. He
then proposed the question with
which all political theory is con-
cerned. The question is, why any-
one should obey anyone else.

The thinkers of this time had a
common quality of profound depth.
They had a “central vision” whic:
they imposed on their hearers, re-
placing the conventional visions of
the people. They did not merely
answer questions within a frame-
work of the universe, but they
shook the framework itself, co...

To Roam an’ Riot
Frosh Don Togas

In Classical Villa

Roam an’ Riot, °55’s Freshman
Show, opens in the garden of the
Maximus villa where Mrs. Maxi-
mus and her dear friends the Ar-
chimedes are giving a surprise
party for the return of the con-
quering general Maximus. The
whole party is surprised and some-
what shocked at the General’s be-
havior, for upon his arrival, he
busily brushes everyone aside an
rushes into his office. All the
guests seem disturbed except Mrs.
Archimedes and Olivius who nos-
talgically recall their old love af-
fair under the influence of unmixed
spirits.

Mrs. Maximus and Vesta, her
daughter, are really concerned,
however, and become even more so
when Asurbanipol, the King of
Assyria, arrives with his troops,
the Filched) Book Investigators,
and the Librarians to search for
some important tablets which were
carried off from his personal li-
brary sometime before 9:30. This
is a heinous crime. The Ville, a
sinister addition to the party,
hopes to marry the beautiful Vesta,
though he is really more entranced
by her father’s money bags than
by the girl herself. He deduces
that Max’s preoccupation is with
the stolen tablets. Here he sees a
way to obtain a reward by betray-
ing Max to the King. Then Mr.
Archimedes rushes in crying that
his wife is a fallen woman, since
she slipped under the influence of
too much wine and injured her po-
dium. The Ville’s suspicions are
proved correct when Max appears
with the tablet and claims he has
deciphered it and thus discovered
a new cure which will be a boon
to all doctors in the future.

What can Asurbanipol do when

tinued Dr. Berlin. The popular
theory at the time was that of the
“divine harmony of nature”. The
essence of this theory is that every
entity in the universe has a func-
tion, and must function well to ob-
tain this harmony which is happi-
ness. According to this idea, obe-
dience is necessary for individuals
to fulfill their portions of the di-
vine pattern.

Newtonian physics had a great
effect on the thought of this per-
iod. According to Newton, every-
thing in nature should be analyzed
into its constituent parts. Then
hypotheses should be formed con-
cerning these parts. Next the hy:
potheses are reduced to the least
number and a universal principle
for the explanation of everything
is procured. Helvetius and Hol-
bach were extreme exponents of
-hese ideas, said Dr. Berlin, and
weie thus “extremely lucid” in
their explanations. One Newtonian

oint which particularly affected
hese philosophers was that a
yuestion is only a Teal question
vhen it is answe:aple. It is essen-
tial to know what type answer is
.equired and how the answer may
be cbtained.

Helvetius first declared the need
of Newtonian scientific method,
rather than intuitive method, in
the problems of human sociolog-
ical action. He thought that human
beings are dominated solely by
the pursuit of pleasure and the
avoidance of pain. Helvetius fur-
ther wanted to produce scientific
morality through edu¢ation of the
people by moral and political ex-
perts: psychologists and _ sociolo-
gists. These experts should teach
self-interest to the people, “har-
ness it”, and use it for the greatest
good. This idea resulted in a clash
between the schools of interest in
the individual and social interest.

Said Helvetius, legislation must
create the greatest happiness for
the largest number of people. The
educator must mold men in the
image of the ideal state, encour-
aging happiness and punishing
melancholy. Enlightened leaders
are necessary to uniformize the
world and produce the semi-auto-
matic activity of conditioned hu-
man beings.

Several of the presuppositions
on which this philosophy lies are
false, continued Dr. Berlin. In the

Current Events

Miss Robbins Considers
Anglo-American
Relations

In many minds the question of
whether Prime Minister Churchill’s
visit to America was successful is
a prevalent one. Miss ‘Robbins,
speaking at Current Events on

Monday evening, said his mission
did him no, personal harm, but, she
questioned its achievement. Be-
cause of the cold treatment he re-
ceived, Miss’ Robbins suggested
that Truman and Acheson may not
have cared whether he came at all.
The New York Times had been
lately stressing the importance of
Britain in respect to military
progress and her raw materials.
The Times agreed, in one of its ed-
itorials, that Britain’s need for aid
was somewhat disadvantageous,
but that Britain is basically a ne-
cessity. [Washington did not seem
to agree in respect to this visit.
Miss Robbins suggested that
Churchill’s role in America might
have been more playable had an
immediate crisis been the reason
for his mission (even more criticai
than present affairs). As it stands,
the death of King George VI has
created (by means of sympathy)
somewhat better relations than did
Churchill’s visit. Miss Robbins
thinks that, on the whole, Britain
was behind Churchill’s visit, al-
though they could not have been
certain of the views or statements
he would present. It is obvious
that no one wants weakness or in-
decision in the control and hand-
ling of the Canal Zone, so Church-
ill’s request for aid in military ac-
tion there is understandable. Miss
Robbins noted that Churchill had
an uphill fight in his foreign pol-











Waste

As a final outcome of the problem of rising costs, Miss
McBride has announced a tuition raise to become effective
with the fall semester of 1952. This raise will, to some de-
gree, cover those costs directly influenced by the rise in the
cost of living, and a campaign on the part of the individual to
avoid waste would go far to prevent the necessity of further
immediate raises. There are three main instances in which
through general laxness on the part of the student, there is
tremendous waste. These three instances include the waste
of heat, light, and food, and each can be avoided by a general
effort on the part of the student. In every hall there are
rooms which, empty or occupied, all day and all night may
bask in 80 degree heat as supervised by the constantly over-
worked thermostats, and yet, because of the thermostat sys-
tem, each one of these rooms can be heated within about five
or ten minutes, to a comfortable temperature. ‘With just the
extra effort on the part of the student to remember to turn
the heat off when leaving the room, the college is saved the
expense of having to heat the room while the student is out
for the night or for classes and other engagements. This is
true also of the problem of lights. By the same token, it is
easy to remember to turn out the lights before leaving for the
evening in an effort to save the college the expense of light-
ing an empty room.

The final and most important instance in which there is
waste is that of food. There are any number of reasons why
students skip meals at the last moment. Some skip the meal
because of the meal itself; some skip meals because of dinner
engagements. However, since the meals are posted in ad-
vance and likewise other engagements are usually made in
advance, it seems that the waste of the food which is pre-
pared and not eaten could be avoided. Each of these chances
to avoid waste involves a certain amount of extra effort on
the part of the student. However, it seems a fair project, as
companion to the raise in tuition in the light of the effort
which the college has already made to circumvent this extra
but. necessary expense for the student.

est in the Far East while the Left
Wing feels that things are being

Consideration. of the English
Monarchy constitutionally is diffi-
cult. Miss Robbins explained that
direct- power is almost nil, but in-
fluence can be very strong. She
referred to the Crown as the
“starter that keeps the machine
moving”. The King can be a sym-
bol of unity and strength, as is the
flag of the United States, if the
reign is a long and active one.
Subtracting the drama and pag-
eantry from Britain’s late bereave-
ment, it is hard to realize how
much such a loss affects the peo-
ple and government as a whole.

Gascoyne, Graham
Recite Selections

Thursday afternoon, January 17,
the English department presented
in the Deanery two young English
poets, David Gascoyne and W. S.
Graham who read from their own
poetry. Mr. Gascoyne first read
to the large group of interested
students and faculty from his vol-
ume of metaphysical poems, Col-
lected Poems of 1937-1942. These
poems ranged in subject matter
from “Mountains” and “Winter
Garden” to a memorial poem for
a friend killed by the Nazis.

' Mr. Graham presented sections
from his long poem “The Night-
fishing”, emphasizing that each
section of this long poem is com-
plete in itself without necessarily
any relation to the poem as a
whole. Mr. Gascoyne also read
from a newly published volume,
Evadence, and Mr. Graham con-
cluded the program with the long-
er poem, “Letter Four”, which
represents, as the author said,
“one of a series of a kind of love
letters.” The reading was enjoy-

“Paris 90” Delights
Viewers With Wit

by Ellen Bell, ’53

Cornelia Otis Skinner, a Bryn
Mawr graduate, gave a delightful
“one man performance during the
last week in January in Philadel-
phia, the whole of which was call-
ed Paris 90. In this soliloquy Miss
Skinner has portrayed with much
wit and understanding a wide va-
riety of female characters of the
late nineteenth century in Paris.
Most of the scenes are comedy but
sometimes Miss Skinner probes the
deepest parts of the individual be-
ing and we see the secrets of her
life and unfulfilled desires pouring
out, usually pathetically.

Although this is a soliloquy, Miss
Skinner creates so vividly the im-
aginary characters with whom she
converses that it is sometimes im-
possible to speak of the sketches
without including these non-exist-
ent personages who have a distinct
personality of their own.

Paris 90 is composed of three
acts, each of which has a separate
theme. The first is the Champs
Elysee, the second a laundny bas-
ket, and the third, Toulouse Lau-
trec.

The gay curtain, painted like a

poster-covered bulletin board, rises
to show a nurse chatting gaily to
her baby of the, “People going by
on wheels”, of the big red omnibus,
of the little carts drawn by goats,
and of the different sounds that
each makes as it hits the pave-
ment.
From this, Miss Skinner changes
to a city woman speaking to her
country cousin and says that...
“A woman’s virtue is a man’s
greatest invention”, and when she
sees that he 1s shocked she adds
that. “A shocked mind is never a
thinking mind”.

From there we travel to see an
old duchess and her daughter rid-
ing to a funeral ... At the last
moment a large rose is thrown into
the carriage by “La Belle Con-
chita”, a loudly dressed lady, who
chats in trilling R’s to a rather in-
nocent military man. She, as did
the elderly duchess, discusses the
deceased and comments that, “He
died piously in his bed. I used to
be terrified he would die in mine”.
La Belle Conchita throws another
rose to an athletic English woman
and ther fiancee. She speaks con-
tinually in English, then trans-
lates it into bad French. All the
while she pedals furiously, talks of
her surprise, of female independ-
ence, and exhausts her poor fiancee
Hippolyte. ‘When he sees that the
surprise is a balloon, he runs away,
and she, not too sad at this event,
rises gaily into the air for a solo
trip.

In the second act, a laundress
pulls out certain articles of cloth-
ing to show her musician friend
some woolen underwear, and other
articles, also with a story. The un-
derwear belongs to two lonely
schoolteachers from Boston, whose
thoughts center around irregular
verbs, idioms, and galoshes. One,
looking down from her baleony and
seeing her underwear being dis-
played by the laundress, suddenly
sees the wretchedness and abnor-
mality of her life, and speaks
grievously, almost hatefully, to her
friends, but in the end cries out,
for she too is trapped in her way
of life: “Oh, don’t leave me, don’t
ever leave me”.

In the last act, we see the Lion
Tamer and the woman of ill repute,
both models for Toulouse Lautrec
(who is an imaginary member of
all these scenes). The “fallen
woman” is first seen in a plush es-
tablishment, and then we find her
catching fish on a picnic, proudly
wearing decent clothing, being
treated as a decent woman, and ex-
pressing her thanks to the kiné
Toulouse Lautrec for letting he
live one honoraBle day after he.

Kicking Chorus Proves
Freshman Doubts
Hot Air

by Claire Robinson, °54

“Hey, kick chorus—could you
all say cheese just once ?—You’re
good, so smile!” “Gee, it’s cold in
here .... did you bring. your -
Chemistry boo—” “My gosh—
where’s the green paint?” “We’ll
just have to fill in for people that
aren’t here . . . so we change the
background —all twenty-five flats
of it, to blend with the costume!”
Storch lends one of the Roam-an
ones a crutch, then hobbles back .
to see, hear, and try to manage
Hol-
low-eyed crew in spattered green
jerseys carefully and lovingly add
brush strokes to canvas, while a
love song peals forth under their
very pinrails.

“Storchy, I can’t
crutch, after all.”

“Good,” says Storchy, “I can.”

In comes the kick chorus again,

refreshed with sticky buns—as re-
freshed as one can be in these
days of rehearsals first and work,
sleep, and food second. “Lower
your voice a bit—I’m afraid you'll
get a sore throat.” “I’m so cold
now—hope I’m not getting any-
thing—I just can’t go to the In-
firmary ... did you say tickets
tomorrow . . . who do I have to
clear it with ... but the Dean’s
Office said ...She can’t have
measles! If my Mother saw me
looking like this she’d send me to
a rest home... Hey, listen—will
he understand if I hand the paper
in late ...I just can’t cut, but I
haven’t done it either . . . listen,
the show won’t be good .. . Nuts!
Bolster says it’s better than “The
Last Resort.” We're’ good— we
are good — this number’ll break
’em up, and our class has all the
spirit and everything else we need,
for Pete’s sake.”

And so they go on, worrying,
wading through impossibilities,
filling in, singing, blocking, pros-
pecting, and if they are worried,
certainly no one else has_ the
slightest doubt that theirs will be
a wonderful show. It is now, in
this year of our Lord, one week
ahead of time.

Students Decide
Election Changes

‘Because none of the five propos-
ed changes in election procedure
received the necessary 400 votes,
or 2/3 of the college, there will be
no constitutional changes in elec-
tion procedure.

255 votes were cast in favor of
retaining preferential listing of
candidates in some form, with 227
opposed. 364 voted to retain pref-
erential listing in reports, but us-
ing blank ballots, while 113 voted
for class preferential listing of
candidates on ballots, The class
nominating committee will per-
form its usual function of narrow-
ing the slate to be presented to the
class, and there will be the same
number of college elections as last
year.

Since a majority of the college
is in favor of using blank ballots
(this is not a _ constitutional
change), blank ballots will be used.

In the report made by Alice
Mitchell, president of the Under-
graduate Association of Bryn
Mawr College, she says: “The Un-
dergraduate Council will try to
make the existing system work
more smoothly this year than last
and welcomes all constructive sug-
gestions to that end.”

o any piece of writing, but it is in
vhis case a necessary preamble if
Jhe reader is to have any basis for
evaluating my evaluation of Miss
uarciner’s book.

The book is divided into four sec-
tions, The first, “The Organiza-
tion of the Natural World,” after
u brief historical introduction, de-
votes five chapters principally to
physical and chemical considera-
vions and one to protoplasm and
he cell . The second and third sec-
ions, which constitute the major
part of the volume in terms of
space occupied, treat respectively
cue organization and operation of
piological systems in the broadest
sense; the final section is an inter-
esting historical and speculative
discussion of the doctrine of or-
eanic evolution.

It is an excellent book. Its pri-
mary virtues might be enumerat-
ed as a high degree of accuracy,
good writing, original organiza-
iion, and the clear and interesting
thought.that lies behind the whole.
The illustrations, which form an
integral portion of the text, have
been handsomely chosen and exe-
cuted.

For these reasons and others
the book is certain to be well re-

Commissions Open

In R.O.C. Program

The Navy has announced that
women students may obtain com-
missions in the Naval Reserve by
participating in the Reserve Offic-
er candidate program.

Applications are desired from
physically qualified freshmen, soph-
omore, and junior students in good
scholastic standing. Selected can-

idates will attend two six-week
summer training periods, known as
whe Basic and Advance Courses, at
Bainbridge, Maryland. Both cours-

; must be completed not later

aan the summer following receipt

f a bachelor’s degree. The pro-

ram does not interfere with a

alent’s curriculum or study, nor

», it involve any commitment on

u- part of the educational institu-

. she is attending.

Applicants should have reached

eir eighteenth birthday on en-

ilment, but shall not have reach-
their twenty-seventh birthday
hen the program is completed.

Complete details concerning the

The personal apologia is,



ceived. I ‘should, prognosticate,
iiowe-er, that there may be two
points concerning its organization
which- may conceivably ‘be ques-
tioned by other reviewers or read-
ers of the book. One of these
might concern the dedication of a
-arge portion of the first section
0 other subjects than living forms
per se ai their own special level.
lhere continue to be biologists who
are old-fashioned enough still to
believe that organisms alive are
che material of predominant in-
-erest for readers in whom one is
attempting to excite an enthusi-
asm for biological thinking—and
indeed for all biologists— and that
these therefore demand first prior-
ity of discussion. I suppose that
majority opinion in the Depart-
ment of Biology here would, how-
ever, probably support Miss Gar-
diner in her choice of the introduc-
ory material.

The second exception that might
be taken by other biologists might
be directed towards the internal
organization of the second and
third sections. The order of pres-
entation is far from conventional,
but the plan for it has been. devel.
oped on a deliberate and thought-
ful basis, and Miss Gardiner and
the rest of us would be prepared
to defend it. This book was not
designed as a ‘textbook’ to re-
lieve the instructors in Biology 101
of the responsibility of presenting
the content of the course in their
asual exemplary fashion. Its ex-
pressed purpose is to supplement,
not substitute for, the material ac-
quired by the student in the class-
room, and to present “the princi-
ples that underlie biological
thought and method, and a general
picture of the subject, not only to
those students who intend to spe-
cialize in natural science but also
to those who, seeking a liberal ed-
ucation, want to know something
about biology as a field of learn-
ing-and-its-contribution-to-man’s
understanding of the world of
which he is part.” From this point
of view, it is clearly advantageous
more than otherwise that the ma-
terial is presented in a fresh and

Deanery Tea--Tour
Im presses Seniors

Especially contributed by
Patricia R. Jamison, ’52

Every year about this time the
seniors invade the Deanery for a
tea and tour. This event marks
the beginning of their use of the
Deanery as an alumnae house.

Last Wednesday, February 6, it
was ’52’s turn to tour. The Dean-
ery Executive Committee gave us
a wonderful welcome, Miss Neall,
of the- hoa:d of directors, intro-
juced the members of the Execu-
tive Committee to us, explaining
how the Deanery is run, as nearly
as possible in concordance with
the wishes of Miss Thomas. Then
Mrs. Manning told us some de-
lightful stories about the history
of the Deanery, the college, and
ii. Carey Thomas.

After tea, we were given the op-
portunity to inspect the upper
reaches of the Deanery. We all
flocked to the attic to see the
newly improved cubicles, a handy
place to file weekend dates. We
marvelled at the many treasures
throughout the building. And
some of us were mightily impress-
ed by Miss Thomas’s huge closet
and bathroom.

The Deanery has an atmosphere
all it’s own. You may or may not

like it, but you ‘cannot deny it..,

The tea and tour this year left
many of the seniors eager to find
an opportunity to return again

Maids and Porters
Hoid Annual Ball

by Barbara Drysdale, ’55

Valentines were the delightful
the of the annual Maids’ and
Porters’ Dance, held a little in ad-
vance of St. Valentine’s Day on
Saturday, February 9, from ten to
one o’clock. The gymnasium dec-
orations were a multitude of red
paper hearts on lacy doilies whose
color was repeated with réd and
white streamers. Red punch and
little heart-shaped cookies with
red icing completed the theme.
Most enjoyable music, provided by
John Whittaker’s Orchestra,
swirling formal dresses in the
pastel shades of spring, the spirit
of festivity—all these combined to
give the occasion a friendly, party
atmosphere shared by both the on-
lookers and the happy parti-
cipants.

SPORTS

“the First and Second Basketball

Varsities played their first match
of the season on January 17. Both
teams put up a good fight, but the
final scores were against thém in
favor of the opposing team, the
University of Pennsylvania. The
first team score was quite close,
35-28, but there was a more def-
inite gap in the second team
score 35-21. The consensus of
opinion was that the Bryn Mawr
players exhibited very good de-
fensive skill, but that they were
too slow in their shooting and did
not play enough of an offensive
game. Due to pre-exam fever and
other inconveniences, many of the
squad were unable to play; never-
theless there were two teams
made up of the following:

E. Fermi Explains
Uses of Cyclotron
In Atom Research

Especially Contributed by
Jackie Braun, ’54

The synchrocyclotron * at the
University of Chicago was the
subject of the address of Enrico
Fermi, noted physicist. and pro-
fessor at Chicago University, to
the combined Physics and Chem-
istry Journal Clubs on Tuesday,
February 5, in Park Hall, My.
Fermi was primarily concerned
with the construction and set-up
of the cyclotron for experimental
work, and the problems involved.

The cyclotron is set in the
ground and covered by heavy con-
crete beams to protect the sur-
roundings trom the intense radia-
tion given off. A shield placed be-
tween the machine and the experi-
mental room reduces the intensity
of the radiation. The principle of
the cyclotron is to accelerate pro-
tons in a magnetic field to a high
energy; these protons are then
used to bombard the atoms of
some target such as liquid hydro-
gen and' strike the hydrogen nu-
clei, transmitting enough energy
to break up the nuclei and set
their component parts, protons,
neutrons and mesons, into motion.
The uncharged neutrons, not de-
flected by the magnetic field, tra.el
forward in a narrow cone-like
stream; the neutral mesons emit-
ted, having a short life, disinte-
grate into gamma rays. The charg-
ed particles, protons and positive
and negative mesons, are bent by
the magnetic field, and rays of
these particles are allowed to pass
through holes in the sheld, design-
ed so as to receive only monoen-
ergetic particles, into the experi
mental room. There these rays of
high energy particles are again
used to strike other targets, bom-
barding nuclei and enabling fur
ther study of nuclear particles.





The synchrocyclotron thus ac-
celerates the bombarding protons
to high energy, the shield reduces
the intensity of radiation emanat
ing from the cyclotron and study
may then be carried out in the ex-
perimental room to further knowl-
edge of atomic particles.

rangement that conforms in out-
line to the crambooks available in

tion is a fire that takes flame more
readily from the kindling of its
own substance than from the dry
dust of familiarity.

But granted that there are many
ways by which supplementary ma-
terial may be presented in formal
biology courses, a more critical
question remains in connection
with the general elucidation of bi-
ological principles. The whole task
of presenting biological material
as a part of general education is a
particularly formidable one. The
biologist is hardly in a position to
insist that the difficulties are more
acute for his own discipline than
for others, but he can with justice
lay strong emphasis on the fact
that the most characteristic dis-,

“principles” which-during the 20th

upon to derive them. [What seems:
to the contemporary biologist an
historical anomaly; namely, the
continued flourishing of an hun-

speculative writings about evolu-
tion deep into a century in which
scientific thought is dominated by

one expression of uncertainty, and
there are others.

History of Deanery includes Facts About Uses, Facilities, Support oe

Continued from Page 1

back from Zurich, with a PhD. de-
gree, summa cum laude and a
nead fuli of dreams of education
ior women with standards as high
as those in the leading men’s col-
leges. After a few years the
Greenery and the In-Betweenery
were transported to another loca-
tion on the campus, to become
Yarrow East and West, and the
Deanery was left with ample
space to throw out extensive
wings and expand into the rambl-
ing building we know today, Many
of the major additions were fin-
anced by Miss Thomas and her
friend, Miss Mary Garrett, who
for the later years of her life lived
with Miss Thomas on the Bryn
Mawr campus. The _ two_ ladies
were tireless travellers, and most
of the furniture and treasures in
the Deanery today were collectea
by them on their worldwide trips.

After her retirement in 1922
Miss Thomas arranged with the
Trustees of Bryn Mawr that hei
old home should become the Alum-
nae Centre, and she gave the fur-
nishings to the College in trust
for the Deanery and at her death
left a trust fund the interest of
which was to go toward Deanery
support. Miss Thomas had abound-
ing faith in the alumnae of Bryn
Mawr, and she believed that the
College would benefit greatly if
they were encouraged by having a
comfortable and charming Alum-
nae House, to visit the campus

tees Miss Thomas stipulated that
the Alumnae House should be
managed by a committee to be
known as the Deanery Committee,
made up of all the alumnae of
Bryn Mawr serving on the College
Board of Directors. The president
of the Alumnae Association is a
member of this committee, but the
association as such has no opera-
tional or financial responsibility for
che Deanery. Nor does the College
.ave any responsibility for its op-
eration. This arrangement placed
1 heavy burden on a small group
f alumnae, especially as most of
hose on the College Board lived
it considerable distance from
3ryn Mawr and usually returned
)» the campus only four times a
ear at the time of. the Board

Ieetings. After some years the
Jeanery Committee found it nec-
ssary to name an Executive Com-
ittee of local alumnae to which

could delegate the day-by-day
ipervision of the Deanery’s op-

ation. These two Committees
ave sole responsibility for the
Jeanery.

The Deanery appears to be a
arge building, but its facilities
.ce limited because of the size of
aost of its rooms and the many
ind space-consuming halls and
sorridors, There are only 12 bed-
ooms and 6 cubicles, 2 double and
1 single, to accommodate overnight
suests. The two largest bedrooms
n the 2nd floor, the Thomas and
sarrett rooms, are kept available

















ously the alumnae have first call
on the remaining bedrooms in
uueir Alumnae House.

‘the Deanery building is the
property of the College, and it is
maae available to the alumnae
tree of rent, with heat and light
included. in addition the College
makes an annual contribution to-
ward Deanery expenses. . The

Alumnae Association, which has)

its large lounge and adjoining of-
tice on the 2nd floor, also makes
an annual contribution in lieu of
rent. These funds together with
the annual moderate income from
the Thomas trust, make it pos-
sible for the Deanery to remain
open, for our Alumnae House, so
full of tradition and atmosphere
and tharm is probably as little
suited to economical and profit-
making operation as any house
that could be imagined! At the
close of a season the Deanery
profits are usually hardly suffi-
cient to cover the cost of repairs
to furniture, the cleaning of rugs,
and replacements and of additions
to kitchen, dining room and house-
hold equipment and supplies. The
purpose of the sales held at the
Deanery spring and fall is to
supply money for much-needed
improvements such as the bath-

room for the cubicles installed last

summer.
Originally planned as primarily

a centre for alumnae and their ac-
tivities, the Deanery through the
years has expanded its operation























































to include various other groups.
Though it is still the Alumnae
Centre, today the Deanery is also
the centre for much of the College
entertaining — large receptions,
teas, dinners and lunches. College
guests and parents of students
may stay there, as well as friends
of alumnae. The Faculty who use
the Deanery extensively, is the one
group that has a special dining
room at lunchtime. They enter-
tain there and patronize the 11
A.M. Coffee Hour. Some non-
Bryn Mawr people are allowed to
use the dining rooms—those who
are given Guest Cards by the
alumnae. Seniors are allowed to
use the Deanery in their 2nd Se-
mester, as pre-alumnae, in the
hope that they will grow to feel at
home there and want to return for
visits after graduation. In recent
years the Committees have per-
mitted the “dates” of students to
sleep at the Deanery at the time
of formal College’ parties, pro-
vided that rooms are available.
The Deanery Committees ask
the cooperation of all guests with
the few regulations necessary to
maintain the dignity and policies
of the Alumnae House, as well as
understanding of the problems
sreated by its expanded use. Un-
lergraduates using the Deanery
ire asked to comply with the rules
‘isted below, as well as with the
‘elf-government rules that apply

n the Bryn Mawr campus.



















UNDERGRADUATE USE OF-,
THE DEANERY yes

Friends of students may stay
at the Deanery only over week-
ends of major college events.
(This restriction does not.apply
to friends of second semester
Seniors.) On such occasions,
rooms which are not needed by
Alumnae or other guests may
be reserved by any student. Din-
ner and breakfast may be served
to students’ friends who are liv-
ing in the Deanery. Undergrad-
uates may eat such meals with
them, but may not use the
Deanery living rooms to enter-
tain such guests.

Liquor is never served by the
Deanery. Hostesses may pro-
vide it themselves if arrange+
ments are made in advance with
the manager. Set-ups are pro-
vided. by the Deanery for such
occasions or for older guests.

Students may drink at the
Deanery when they are guests
at a formal party where liquor
is served, and a student may
drink when in the company of
her own parents or grandpar-
ents above the first floor of the
Deanery. In all other cases the
regular Self-Government rules
for the campus apply to the
Deanery. :

The above regulations apply
to all students whenever the
Deanery is open, whether or not
the College is in session.
Approved by the Deanery Com-

nittee and the Self-Government
Association, January, 1952.

ing.

Some students, of course, have
as yet no steady direction. They
may feel that going to col-
lege is “the logical thing to
do”, but this feeling may vanish in
the face of the actual work. The
student who thinks that college
is the place to discover where her
interests lie at least has a definite
purpose. The college education
may, by directing her, yield an even
higher return on her investment
than it does for some others.

It is this investment of time



Freshman Profer Cure

For Fractured Podiums
Continued from Page 1

Mrs. Archimedes is cured of podi-
um by Max’s new discovery? Jus-
tice is further hampered by the
fact that Vesta and Asurbanipol,
who is affectionately called ‘Aish by
his friends, have fallen in love,
and no one would want to arrest
his father-in-law. Thus all cares
are forgotten and everyone but the
thwarted Ville joins in the joyous
Roman riot.

The main characters in Roam
an’ Riot are as follows: Statue,
Elizabeth Klupt; Mrs. Maximus,
Sophia Liljencrants; Mrs. Archi-
medes, Irene Ryan; Mr. Archimed-

Dillon, Glenn Show
Finesse at Bridge

Confusion broke out on the faces
of the 32 competing Bryn Mawr
students as the rules and scoring
for the game were explained to
them by Mrs. Albersheim at the
Undergrad Bridge Tournament on
Wednesday, February 6, in the
Rumpus Room at Goodhart. It
finally became a bit more clear,
and the tournament was under
way.

The eight tables were arranged
and east-west
positions. The north-south play-
ers remained in the same position
throughout the tournament, and
the east-west players moved to
the next higher tables after each
hand. The hands which were
shuffled only once at the begining
of the game and left unshuffled

thereafter, rotated to the next
lower table at the end of. each
hand. Therefore, each pair played
every hand in the course of the
evening.

The four pairs who received the
highest scores are Marylou Dillon
and Margaret Glenn, who stand in
first place; Nancy Alexander and

first place, it is concerned with
factual questions of politics and
morals while the actual. questions
which should be answered are of'
value. These questions of “why
should I?” not “why will I?” are
difficult to answer factually. Hel-
vetius assumes that nature can
answer these questions.

‘Holbach reiterated and expanded
Helvetius’ ideas. He asserted that
nature dictates the answer to all
things. Nature speaks to all men.

the second highest scores; and
Evelyn Warram and Carolyn Bu-

eight finalists will compete in the

those competing by mail the six-
teen highest ranking pairs, two
from each of eight zones will com-

but in a different voice to different
men. This was one of the begin-
nings of the idea that nature is
intermediate between God and
man. Holbach’s definition of nature
is teleological. He asserted that
there is a purposive universe in
which all good things are in har-
mony. This indicates a presuppo-
sition that good things can not
eollide and cause tragedy. The
universe is in a divine haiimony

and a scientific enlightened despot

can retain this harmony in the

communicable peaceful world.

The people who attacked this
view will be discused in the later
lectures.
