Varsity Hockey
Bands Swarthmore 2-1
While J.V. Team Ties With 2-2 Score
especially contributed |
- by Elizabeth Thomas, °57
The first varsity hockey team
added another victory to its rec-
ord last Wednesday, Nov. 10, by
beating Swarthmore 2-1. The J.V
team tied with Swarthmore, 2-2.
Miss Yeager was very pleased,
particularly with the varsity score,
but at the same time she felt that
thé’ teams were not playing their
best. On the whole the varsity
game was very even, but neither
side was aggressive enough, each
waiting for the other to reach the
ball first. The stick work and
passing was inclined to be sloppy
and inaccurate, although everyone
showed great determination, Gail
Gilbert, Steffie Hetzel and Diana
Scott all played very well. Every
goal in the game was, however, a
penalty one.
Despite their score the J.V. team
had a rather one-sided game, con-
sisting of innumerable corners.
Consequently it was a slow game
until the last few minutes when
the pace was speeded up.

Smoke Free Cigs
To Clear Mailbox
By Anna Kisselgoff, ’58
Back home, a house mailbox was
a box from which you picked up
bills, notices, and occasionally
mail. Nothing else ever found its
way in there. However, the cubby
holes of Bryn Mawr College seem
to serve a different purpose. Every
cigarette manufacturer in the
country seems to consider them his
special property.
On returning to the hall one day
you discover that in your absence
the little man from Cavaliers has
been quite busy. But what cause
have-you to-complain?. If Mr. Kent.
sends you his little box of sam-
ples, and Mr. Philip Morris does
the same the next day, as does Mr.
Viceroy, you should offer them
your silent thanks. “
If you don’t smoke, you should,

since. these cigarettes are free.
Who the heck are you to refuse
things that are free, what with
the cost of living being so high?
However, it should. NOT be tak-|.
en for granted that all college girls
smoke, and that they all smoke
brand. Yet, one fine
day (the fine day,- for instance,
that free Pall Malls are given out),
the following may take place: do
comes Mr. Pall Mall, sees everyone
smoking Pall Malls (and why me

smokes Pall Malls.
The best thing to do is to |
advantage of all the free c
you get and forget about being
surveys. Who cares what the
arette manufacturers publish
long as we benefit?

Hirshon. To Speak
in Chapel Sunday
“Frank Briscoe’s Eyes’ is the
topic for the sermon Sunday eve-
--| ning, November 21.
Dr. Louis M. Hirshon explains
this rather cryptic-sounding title
by saying, “Briscoe was one of the
few worthy characters in the re-
cent The High and the Mighty.
Unless I am mistaken, higs_solilo-
quy had more to
Dane’s”,
(He will remain. for discussion
after the service, in case you want
to disagree!)
Dr. Hirshon is no “ivory tower”
or insulated cleric. Before study-
ing for the ministry, he was a suc-
cessful business man for Proctor
and Gamble.
Since he has become a man of
the cloth, he has engaged in ac-
tivities such as: associate director
of the National Labor Relations
Board, co-founder of the Sewickley
(suburb of Pittsburgh) Colored
Community Center, and co-founder
and vice-president of the Interpro-
fessional Commission on Marriage
and Divorce Laws (with the Amer-
ican Bar Association).
Dr. Hirshon is a graduate of
Harvard. He is Dean of Christ
Church Cathedral, Hartford, Conn.

Schools’ Role Today
“Are W@ Educating for Respon-
sible Living?” was the subject of
tosh, President of Barnard College.
Dr. McIntosh addressed Bryn
Mawr son at New Canaan
Connecticut,
Throughout history the scholar
has alternated between a cloistered
existence and active social leader-
ship. Our greatest ages havé been
those in which learning and living
have been closely united, as in Per-
ficlean Athens and Elizabethan
England.
What then are our educational
problems today? “In my opinion
they derive from the swing too far
from the business of learning to
the responsibility for living,” ans-
wered- Dr. McIntosh.
First, with respect to the con-
tent of the curriculum,
schools have eliminated all study.
of the: past~ and confined them-
selves to the problems of the pres-
ent.
Therefore, Dr. McIntosh believes,
many students are ignorant of the
cultural tradition of the Western
world. She advocates a middle
road in which competent teachers
can interpret events of the pres-
ent in the light of the past.
Second, how far shall we stress:
community responsibility and ex-
tra-curricular activities? Dr. Mc-
Intosh . believes that the current
tendency has been to force this is-
sue too much, making students
“stale”, “jaded” and “exhausted”
and depriving them of leisure to
read and think. With respect to
this problem, too, she advocates
a middle-of-the-road position.
Religious Teaching
The final and most difficult prob-
lem is how parents and teachers
may give children “the right val-
ues and a positive philosophy of
life”. Although many of our
young people seem hollow and “de-
void of values or of strong spirit-
ual motivation”, Dr. McIntosh does
not believe that the void can be
filled by teaching religion direct-
ly.
On the other hand, the beliefs
of teachers are important because
“the educational process is by its
very nature a religious one” and
our schools do have a primary re-
sponsibility, often neglected, to-
ward these “deeper realities of
life”.

first editions, manuscripts, and
personal Christmas cards are on ex-
hibition in the’ Rare Book Room of
the library.
Among the many first editions
aré annotated copies which Mr,
Frost sent to Miss Elizabeth Ser-
geant, ’03. On the frontispiece of |-
A’ Masque of. Reason, edited in
1948, Mr. Frost wrote:
“To Elsie Sergeant,
for not having been too hard on me
in my ‘orals’
this summer session
of 1949 (and for having conducted
them in such a high poetic level.)
RF. ”
Limited Edition,
When his complete poems were
published, 500 limited editions were
printed and personally signed by
Mr. Frost for his close friends.
For his close friends Mr. Frost
composes a verse on personally
designed Christmas cards. The li-
brary has borrowed several of
these cards from Mr. Frost’s
friends in the area.
Im 1922, Mr. Frost spoke several
times to the Reeling and Writhing
Club. Later, when he was invited
to return in 1925, he wrote to Miss
Park, “ ... I have no more pleas-
ant recollections of school and col-
lege than my five vists with the
poets of Bryn Mawr... I don’t
forget that their drawing me into :
their education was largely their
own idea. It was the «ind of thing
I like to have happen.”
Also among the collection on dis-
play are critical we?!!+.% Mr
Frost, ito -
: _ Critical War?!’
Miss. Sargeant’s scrapbook | of
personal letters from both Mr. and
Mrs. Frost, newspaper clippings,
