Colleges Discuss
Various Plans

Of Organization



Other Colleges’ Rigidity
Contrasts with B. M.’s i
Liberalism



Virginia Thomas, Lovina Brend-
linger, Harji Malik, and Patricia
Behrens represented Bryn Mawr

at the Seven College Conference, |

an annual meeting of delegates
from the main north-eastern wom-
en’s colleges, held during spring
vacation at Smith College. The
main part of this year’s meeting
centered on a comparison of the
various organizational. systems
of the colleges represented.

The Conference, composed of
Barnard, Mt. Holyoke, Radcliffe,
Vassar, Smith, Wellesley, and
Bryn Mawr, with Sarah Lawrence
as a guest college, also discussed
such specific problems as war
work, prevalent apathy, and the
practical value of the academic and
social honor systems of some~ of

the colleges.

Absence of faculty and admin-
istration control in Self-Govern-
ment and extra-curricular fields,
and a generally greater indepen-
dence of organizations and _ indi-
viduals seem to mark the contrast
between Bryn Mawr and the other
colleges.

At Annual Forum



The Fruits of Victory—1919 vs.
194-? was the comprehensive
topic of the second annual College
Forum meeting last Saturday,
April 8. The Forum, sponsored
by Mademoiselle, met with the pur-
pose of bringing “college women
face to face with the errors of
post-war period of World War I,,’
and acquainting them with their
origin and the steps necessary to
right them.

Delegates from fourteen col-
leges were present at the Forum,
and many distinguished speakers
presented the political and social
problems awaiting solution. Doro-
thy Bruchholz ’46 and Nanette
Emery ‘747 represented Bryn
Mawr.

Following a short discussion of
the problems, the college delegates
presented short reports, on their
current campus activities.

programs such as mt? Holyoke’s | .

Fellowship of Faiths and Smith’s
Labor Relation Group furnished
testimony that the political theor-
ies of the classroom are being
transformed into community ac-

R. Saltau Analyzes

(Conflicting Ideals

Of France Today

Music Room, April 5: “The
problem of reconciling freedom
and authority is the age-long



problem in all governments in all|-

countries,” déclared Mr. Roger
Soltau in a discussion of “Freedom
and Authority in Contemporary
French Politics.’ In modern
France this struggle has taken
its particular form as a result of
the Revolution, dividing French
society into Right and Left.
“The Revolution is either an
over-completed or under-complet-
ed effect,” said Mr. Soltau. The
Right, which reached its climax
under the Vichy government, “a
regime of authority and hierarchy,
bujlt on merit and work,” seeks to
undo the work of the Revolution.
It wishes to replace Parliamen
with a strong executive which will
not menace the existing structure
of society with the promise of so-
cial reform. The’ Left, alterna-
tively, feels the. Revolution has
not gone far enough, particularly
in the matter of social changes,

reason.
“These conflicting ideals some-
how or other became united in the
last. great war,” said Mr Soltau;
but shortly thereafter the Russian
revolution and the emergence of
the corporate state in. Italy re-
newed the struggle... There was a
complete reversal of international
policy in both groups, not because
of a changed point of view in the
international field, but because
domestic policy has come to domi-
nate foreign policy.

Cowan to Treat

Philosophy, Law

Speaking on “Philosophy and
Law,” Dr. Thomas Cowan of the
University of Pennsylvania will

‘discuss the effect of various classi-

eal philosophic systems on law
and jurisprudence in a_ lecture
sponsored by the Philosophy club
this Wednesday.

Dr. Cowan intends to show the
limitations to which jurisprudence
was subjected.in the jurists’ at-
tempt to apply seventeenth cen-
tury Rationalism and eighteenth
century Empiricism to law. Out of
the writings of Peirce and William
James a pragmatic philosophy has
developed in the nineteenth and
twentieth century. These writings
have had an important effect on
many recent jurists, especially
Roscoe Pound of Harvard, under
whom Dr. Cowan has studied.

Dr. Cowan has had a varied and
finteresting background prior to
his position as Associate Profes-
sor in the Philosophy Department
at the University of Pennsylvania.
Primarily interested in jurispru-
dence and social philosophy, Dr.
Cowan taught jurisprudence at
the Louisiana State University af-
ter taking his doctorate in Phil-
osophy at the University of Penn-
sylvania_and_his degree in Juris-
prudence at Harvard.

He js also concerned with legal
systems and the formulation of
philosophical jurisprudence in

Marge Richardson, found by our
reporter buried in distilling ap-
paratus.in the Chem. lab after the
news of her election as the new
Campus..Red Cross Unit Chair-
man, Tuesday afternoon, was still
a little hesitant at the idea of be-
ing interviewed by the News. In
view of her past record in Park,
she carefully explained, her reluc-

good.” A definite Chemistry ma-
jor, Marge is the first non-histor-

claims that she hereby resolves to
keep all explosions limited to the
Chem. building.

For next year she foresees a
broader and more varied Red
program. Less emphasis
will be put on work in the line of
bandage rolling, for which, says
Marge; there is obviously little en-
thusiasm at Bryn Mawr, and a
greater emphasis on courses with
more popular appeal, ‘such as
Home Nursing.

Marge has-been in charge of

‘bandage rolling on campus during

this year,—a ‘position which : her

helpful in acquiring the‘ psycholo-
gical approach for inducing peo-
ple to work, as well as actually

College Inauguration
Marked 25th Year '

of Council



Specially Contributed by °
Harji Malik, °45
The traditional inauguration
ceremony of the new presidents of
organiza-
tions, held in Goodhart on April

the five main campus

4, was especially significant this
year in that it marked the twenty-
fifth anniversary of Bryn Mawr’s
College Council. :

The College Council is at, the
same time one of the least known
and most important representative
groups on campus. In its role as
the main coordinating body of the
college, it presents the only con-
crete organization for the discus-
of all

among representatives of the un-

sion campus’ problems
dergraduates, faculty, administra-
tion and alumnae.

As_a_body,-the-—Gouncil-has~no
executive power. Its aim, as stated
in its 1919 constitution, is “to
confer in regard to cooperative
action upen matters of college in-
terest through the various organi-
zations represented.” It may rec-
ommend action, but in no way can
it make a definite decision for any
of its constituent groups.

All subjects currently pertain-
ing to the campus—past activities,
future plans, and current prob-
lems alike—are brought up for
discussion at these meetings, pro-
viding an opportunity for all
groups to keep in touch with the
life of all other parts of the col-
lege community.

In addition to the heads of the
five main organizations, and the
editor of the News, who form the
Undergraduate Council, the Col-
lege Council consists of the fol-
lowing representatives: President
of the College, the President of
the Graduate Club, the President
of “the Alumnae Association, the
presidents of the four classes, the
president of the Non-Residents,
‘the Head of the Halls, the Director
of the Gymnasium, a faculty rep-
resentative and the Director of



Residence.

First ‘in Lecture Series.



Given on Civilization -

Of Russia



The history of the development
of the autocratic Czarist regime
as instrumental in an understand-
ing of modern Russia, was discuss-
ed by Dr. Ernest J. Simmons un-
der the topic of Church and State.
This lecture,-the first in a series
of five on the subject of the
Spirit of Russian Civilization and
Thought, is part of a larger series
given by the class of 1897, to bet-
ter acquaint the students and the

community with some of the non- |

western civilizations.

Dr Simmons pointed out that
the time lag of Russia at the end
of the fifteenth and -the begin-
ning of the sixteenth centuries,
when. it turned its back ,on - the
civilizing
explains a great deal of
further course of the history
this country.

Because of its complete resist-
ance to any forms of learning and
intellectual activity, the Russian
Church. became a perfect. tool for
the state, explained Simmons.
This Church, cut off from its cen-
ter at Constantinople through
many invasions, kept its power
over the people because of the ig-
norance of its .priests, and ‘its ac-
tive hostility to Western learning.

Dr. Simmons pointed out that
from the tenth to the thirteenth
centuries, Kiev, the capital of Rus-
sia, had a_ brilliant intellectual
culture, in contact with Greek and
Western civilizations, but in the
next two centuries, the Tartar
hordes completely destroyed this
culture. When the Russians | fi-
nally threw off the domination of
the Mongols, Simmons emphasized
that their civilization faced East
and not West. Ivan, the Terrible,
in the sixteenth century was the
first ruler to open Russia to West-
ern influence through commercial
relations with England, and “in-

the
of

itiated a movement that was to-

continue to Russia’s advantage for
the next two hundred years.”

Women drivers may have been
jeered at in the past, but tes

seems to be all in favor of the idea
as long as the lady chauffeur can

these qualifications, three ‘Bryn

the Philadelphia Navy Yard at

Clothes Drive

At the present time there is a nation-wide drive to col-
lect clothes to be sent to the impoverished nations of Europe.
This drive comes at a time when the hardships of this winter
are fresh in the minds of the peoples of Europe, and it is es-
sential for the future that this situation should not be re-
peated.

The most important factor in the clothing situation is,
however, the complete destruction wrought by the fighting
armies in the areas over which the real war has passed. In
these placés many people“have been left with nothing more
than the clothes on their backs.

general exhaustion of civilian supplies even in the undestroy-
ed parts of Europe makes America’s contributions essential.

A Unit of Individualists

“Bryn Mawr is a college of individualists”—such a state-
ment heard again and again; is usually expressed in a highly
derogatory tone...Yet Bryn Mawr’s emphasis on individual
freedom and responsibility, and the lack of interference in
campus affairs by any censoring body, is one of the most
praise-worthy characteristics of our campus organizational
system.

The article on the Seven ‘College Conference printed in
this issue of the News, stresses the contrast between Bryn
Mawr’s system and that of many of the other north-eastern
women’s colleges. We have remained free of the restrictions
placed on many of their activities, including Self-Govern-
ment, by the supervision of faculty, or administration. Our
organizations are autonomous student democracies. —

It is in order that the function and significance of -this
system may be brought.to the attention of every undergrad-
uate, that the News, in accordance with a recommendation
by the Undergraduate Council, has been running a series of
five articles on the main campus organizations.’ The last in
this series, appearing in this issue, is the most signficant of
all, for the College Council is the most representative body
on campus.

The function of the Council is clearly defined as a dis-
cussion group with no executive powers, a mere clearing-
house for information. But the concept behind the Council,
as formulated in its constitution in 1919, and as put into
practice ever since 1920, is one which is vital to the waote
spirit of Bryn Mawr.

___It is that concept Which has enabled Bryn Mawr under-
graduates to cooperate withthe faculty and administration,
while retaining and improving their own control of all extra-
curricular activities. It is that concept which enables, “a “a

college of. individualists” to: function ina unified autonomy.

These are the people’ es-/
‘pecially in need of our help. Their plight, coupled with the











Opinion



Students Stress Need
_For Cultural Study
of Orient '



To the Editor: |
Bryn Mawr is presumably a lib-

|eral arts college; the college cur-

riculum, however, is noticeably
lacking in courses pertaining to
Oriental culture. This means that
a whole sphere of culture is omit-
ted, which is regrettable under any
circumstances, but particularly
serious in view of the necessity for
post-war cooperation with \the
East.

In order to méet the demands of
a new and narrowing world, we
feel that the acquisition of a de-
partment of Oriental studies wi!
become a necessity in the near fu-
ture, but there is no apparent rea-
son as to why we should wait for
the day when this necessity ma-
terializes.

‘We would like to propose a pe-
tition for at least one course in-
troductory to Oriental thought in
the coming year. For those who
are interested in carrying out this
plan, a list will be posted on the
second floor bulletin board in Tay-
lor.

Social Science Proposed
As Requirement
By Student



To the Editors:

The recent discussion of require-
ments aroused by the Psychology
Poll brings up the subject of the
social sciences as requirement ma-
terial.

Some attempt is evidently made
to graduate well-rounded individ-
uals. Besides a general knowledge
of science, literature, and philos-
ophy, the graduate is expected to
swim, to describe ‘the alimentary
canal, and to read French and
German at. sight. Such accom-
plishments are undoubtedly valu-
able, but no more so than a course
in either politics, sociology, or ec-
onomics. —

If an occasional science major
felt it’ impossible to crowd her
schedule with another required
course, she could perhaps arrange
some solution with the Dean and}
her major— department, while the
average undergraduate, forced to
take a fifth requirement, would
not suffer perceptibly.

Sincerely yours, —

Mary Lou Reese, 45

Demand for Revamping
Of English Comp.
‘Heartily Seconded’



To the Editor:

“Two dissatisfied freshmen” ex-
pressed in the last News.a demond
for change in the English Comp.
course. I should like to second the
motion heartily.
|. Despite repeated attempts to
explain the purpose of ‘English
Comp. to me, I find that-the most
plausible function of the course
remains “teaching people how to
write papers.” This raises the
question: does English ‘Comp. as
it is now presented do this in the.
most effective way possible?

There is no clearly understand-
able connection between the mater-
ial presented in the first and the
material given in the second sem-
ester. The second-term work deals
with modern writers of prose and
poetry, of internationally recog-
nized excellence; this.is natural in
an English course, ard with this
we have no quarrel.

‘But is there any reason for pre-
senting the Freshman upon’ her
arrival at Bryn Mawr with that
glorious hash of chiefly leftist
writings which goes to make up
first semester English Comp.? It
may be alleged that the average
entering Freshman is incapable of
writing the literary criticism ask-
ed of her or of getting, much profit
from the reading of/ the second
semester. But wouldn’t it be poss-
ible to introduce her /to it through
other less difficult English classics
than through thaf incongruous
composite of “current affairs” and
English Composition?

_ In Collected Stories
Of Arthur Train



by Nancy Morehouse °47
Arthur Train, author of the Mr.
Tutt stories which regularly ap-

pear in the Saturday Evening Post,.

has made a charming collection of
new and old stories in Mr. Tutt
Finds a Way. The stories center
around the activities of the de-
lightfully clever Ephraim Tutt,
“Yankee Lawyer’, who,- retired
from regular practice, devotes his
energies to rescuing the victims
of inequitable justice from a das-
tardly fate through his knowledge
of many obscure legal irregulari-
ties. ..

The adventures of Mr. Tutt are
pleasantly devoid of any psycho-
logical significance: he rescues the
down-trodden from their would-be
oppressors and everything is happy
thereafter. Aside from his cham-
pionship of the ‘unfortunate and
unwitting victims of the law, Mr.
Train is propagating no great so-
cial theories either. He rescues
Georgia and Virginia plantations,
remnants of the old. South, from
seizure by the unscrupulous cred-
itors of their lovely young owners
(feminine), and with equal eager-
ness saves a worthy Negro from

a Voodoo death.

Current Events





Discussing the food situation in
reference to feeding Europe, Mrs.
Manning declared that “the very
waging of the war has been hard-

est on our friends.”' Mrs. Man-
ning feels that the gr t neces-
sity at present is convince
Washington .that. the Ameritan

people are in favor of reduced ra-
tions of food to save starving
Europe.

.. Up until the last month, the ba-

sic difficulty was a shipping short-
age; at present, however, there is
a very real food shortage existing
in this country. Mismanagement
is in great part at the root of both
these troubles, said Mrs. Manning,
and the ‘agencies designated to deal
with food .and_ shipping have
shown a signal inability to plan
/their use. The food shortage is
due primarily to the unwillingness
of the Department of Agriculture
and the War Food Administration
to build up any kind of a surplus
for fear of post-war repercussions.

The worst situations in Europe
are to be found in Greece, the
Netherlands and northern Nor-
way, where conditions are near
famine.. The Army has taken over
the job of feeding the Dutch and
has made fairly adequate arrange-
ments, but it is at present unpre-
pared for the problem of feeding
liberated prisoners of war-in Ger-
many, where food conditions were
nearly as bad. UINRRA has not
proved effective in dealing with
the problems of food supply. The
French and Belgians, in fact, have
asked to be permitted to buy their
own food and ship it themselves,
but so far very few. ships have
been released to them.

Any concerteq attempt to deal

with the problem suffers greatly
from the lack of an over - all pol-
icy governing the agencies dealing
with food. This lack of effective
coordination, Mrs. Manning feels,
is likely to turn many Europeans
away from the United States and
democracy towards Communism
and Fascism as a cure for their
ills, This menace is accentuated
by the fact that Europe was in
almost all cases better fed under
Nazi domination than it has been
since the Allied liberation.

tribute of his opponents, and is
blessed with that communal spirit
arising among a group of individ-
ualists. which is the well-spring of
the famous New England town
A number of stories
deal with the attempts of Squire
Mason, a wealthy but unscrupulous
lawyer who owns most of the
mortgages of Pottsvilye’s resi-
dents, to force his election to the
Sacred Camels of King Menelik,
an organization of leading citizens
from which he had been excluded
because of his unpleasant’ and
domineering personality. It is
sufficient ‘to record that he is
thwarted by the incomparable Mr.
Tutt, . ;

Though towards the end of the
book the ingeniousness of the
characters begins to’ cloy, the
early chapters have a ° freshness
which is the chief source of the
book’s charm. In any case, the
simplicity of Mr. Tutt Finds a

iat Shcuelaslon, POTTY J.° Founded by E: T. Reynolds

Tradition was broken on the
English corridor last week when
a student standing by the Bulletin
Board suddenly found. herself en-
gaged in conversation with -Dr.
Chew. Recovering from the shock
of being called “Betty” by one re-
wowned for his vagueness about
undergraduates’ narhes, and for

-his silence in general, she flattered

herself that she must’be aniong
the better known of the non-Eng-
lish majors. It was then that Dr.
Chew emerged from his office, only
to blush and run quickly back into
his study muttering in a bitter
tone, “You sounded just like Miss
Mignon!” ;
One ambitious soul, who:not only
went to Dr. Greet’s. first lecture
but arranged to ha¥e.an individual
conference with him on the subject
of her Diction, was a little taken
aback when he inqujréd how re-
cently hér family had left Ger-
many. Her stuttered statement
that she was a DAR in good
standing failed to convince him,
and it was not till a day later that

Incidentally...

she made the ‘discovery which,
while raising her esteem of Dr.
Greet, has filled her soul with bit-
terness. -It seems that Seven hours
of preparation for a German pro-
nunciation quiz immediately pre-
ceding the conference had had its
eeffct. She now spends three hours
a week taking Diction correctives
for‘the German accent which she
still spends seven hours a week
cultivating. ean

And incidentally, a mild little

woman wandered into the Book-
shop last week and asked simply
for advice on “a book suitable for
Dice lady who is rather interest-
ed in history.” It wasn’t till after
she had left, happily bearing a
copy of Forever Amber, that the
Bookshop found, that she meant
Mrs. Manning.

ence results from the compara-
tively small size of Bryn. Mawr,
but much of it is due to the Bryn
Mawr tradition of individual free-
dom.
Self-Government
The structure of the student
government associations differs
from college to college. The ,var-
jations, in scope are perhaps the
most significant, with one college

extending Self-Government rule
to cover all academic honor
and library offenses. Among the

most striking methods of electing
and maintaining legislative and
judiciary boards. is another col-
lege’s hierarchal system of judic-
iary boards. The highest court

consists of faculty and students

working together, with several dis-
trict courts, each dealing with
separate types of cases, function-
ing below it.

Penalties in other colleges also
differ radically in type and sever-
ity. One college has a progressive
fining system for latenesses in re-
turning to the hall ranging from
$1.50 for fifteen minutes to $5.00
for 45 minutes. Others have a
system°whereby campus work such
as library jobs and leaf-raking are
substituted for. fines.

Honor Systems
Approximately half the colleges
have an academic honor system un-
der which students accept the re-
sponsibility’ of reporting and pen-
alizing such infringements as
cheating and plagiarism. All these

‘ colleges have found, however, that



in practice students fail to report
fellow-students, while still theor-
etically supporting the. system.
This was also true in those col-
leges working under a edcial hon-
or system covering student gov-
ernment: regulations.

War work in the colleges is dif-
ficult to. estimate because the ma-
jority of these\seven are running
on some form ofa cooperative sys-
tem. Although the extent of such

Committee Seeks



t

At a meeting of the New Book

Room Committee last week it was
moved that the College commun-
ity at large be given more of an
opportunity to make specific re-
quests for the purchase of recent-
ly published books for use in ‘the
Quita Woodward Memorial Room.
The Quita Woodward Room is in-
tended primarily as a _ reading
room in which easy access may be
had to recent books, but the Com-
mittee occasionally purchases. sets
of particular authors and a few
older books which appear to be in
sufficient demand.
The Committee has recently re-
ceived a gift of $500, given in
honor of Profesosr Emeritus Lucy
M. Donnelly by Dr. Katharine
Dodd of the Class of 1914. This
fund is at present being held in re-
serve.

Books purchased by the Com-
mittee will be shelved with other
new accessions. near the main
Loan Desk in the. front part of
the Library each Friday. A box
for suggestions will be placed near
these shelves and a similar box in
the Quita Woodward Room itself.
The Committee hopes very much
that the members of the College
community will suggest, for the
Committee’s titles
of new books in which they are in-
terested. :

In Nat'l Meet

B. M. Wins Recognition
For Swimming

_—

Competing \against swimmers
from eleven ‘other colleges in the
National Intercollegiate Telegra-
phic Swimming Meet, Ty Walker,
came in second in the 40-yard back
crawl, according to the results just
received. The Owls also placed
third and fourth in the medley and
freestyle relays respectively.

The Owls were timed in the reg-
ulation-size Baldwin pool in the
middle of mid-semesters on March
7 and 12, and their times were
compared with those of the twelve
colleges entered in the Eastern
dvvision of the Meet.

Although Ty Walker’s time,
28.8 seconds, was second best out
of the twenty four contestants for
40 yards back crawl, she has bet-
tered Penn State’s winning time,
28.0, by four tenths of a second.

Walker, Arrowsmith, and Ches-
ver swam the 75-yard medley relay
in 49.2 seconds, winning third
place out of ten entries, and the
Owls’ freestyle relay: team, Wal-
Dudley, Arrowsmith, and
Chester, with 59.2 seconds for 100
yards, scored fourth against eight
other teams.

Out of thirty-one entries in the
40-yard freestyle, Connie Chester
secured tenth place with the time
24.4 seconds, six-tenths of a second
above her best. *
