rowing the gap between varsity
activities and the rest of the col-
lege, by increasing the number of
extra-athletic activities, by publi-
cizing A.A.’s activities, including
varsity and intercollegiate events,
and by better organization of
A.A.’s planned events (particular-
ly in inter-hall and class games) I
think that more of the interest

aroused in A.A. as an organiza-

I have found the office of Secre-
tary of the Athletic Association
most rewarding to me, both be-
cause of the friendships I have
made as a result of it and because
of the great enthusiasm of this
year’s president who stirred in me
a real desire to want to work for
the A.A. I believe that I have
gained, through working with the/
Board, the gym department and
the Council, a new sense “of re-
sponsibility, and I have learned
how to cooperate better with those
around me.

By participation in hall and
class games, I have found a great
deal of pleasure. The spirit of
these seems to me contagious and
it is an exhilarating feeling to
strive together to win. By playing
in varsities I have been in contact
with girls of other schools and I
believe that meeting them has

been a valuable experience for me.

Bryn Mawr teams sometimes
seem to lack the spirit which must
be kept alive if a team is to win.
I would like to see more participa-
tion by the junior and senior class-
es in varsity sports and more en-
a whole
>In “these,
ways the spirit of the varsities
might be improved and as a result
more games won.

I believe that the A.A. President
should organize activities so that
the interest of all is increased. By
having movies, lectures, the bridge
tournament and hall and class
games this year, the A.A. tried to
reach the campus as a whole. I
think this program is of the ut-
most importance and I would like

I feel that the League plays a
vital role in the life of every stu-
dent here at Bryn Mawr. As it
says in the organization’s constitu-
tion, we are all in a position to
learn far more than we actually
give.

Through the various committees
such as the Coatesville group, the
Summer ‘Camp and Weekend Work
Camps, the’ League offers. the
chance to every student to get to
know people as individuals, rather
than as members of some social or
economic group.

The office of President has not
been clearly regulated, this leaves
a great deal of room for imagina-
tion and individual interpretation
of the position. My interpretation
would be to think of ways in which
to bring as close a relationship as
possible between League activities
and the-campus as a whole.

For just this reason, it is very
important that the President of

Council meetings in order to be
able to co-ordinate old policy with
new ideas.

on Friday afternoons in various
settlement houses for underprivi-

lived in a settlement house in the
East End of London, again work-

growing up in a slum area.

The League is an organization
for social work of all kinds and it
brings interest to the college from

contact with the various

sorts o1 recreational and construc-
tlve projects which reach everyone,
My purpose in heading the

and encourage the participants to
jearn more about our community





and to stress the value of experi-
encing what its various projects
aave to offer. There are several
.lew committees this year, such as
vhe Bryn Mawr, Hospital Children’s
ward, which have received much
interest and would definitely be
very stimulating if developed. And
I would also like to see the scope
and depth of the present program
widened, especially in the Inter-
Racial Relations Committee and
joint activities with the Alliance.
My feeling about the ‘League is
that it is here for both the curious
and the career-minded person and
could be very valuable experience
for either.

I have worked ‘in several differ-|"
‘ent communities and have become

acquainted with the many different
types .of problems. which confront
specific ‘areas.

The League’s professed stand
that action and .education in the
field of social. service are interde-
pendent is one with which I strong-
ly agree. Unenlightened action
can be actually harmful and knowl-
edge-of existing social problems
Without action is worthless. The

many outside sources in the com-
munity: The League helps to place
the college in its environment and
give the students experience and
social
problems of the community. In
extra-curricular affairs on campus,
4 think the League should serve as
a co-ordinator tor many different

League would be to try to interest

League’s purpose is to stimulate
interest in social problems and to
provide opportunities for social
service by Bryn Mawrters. All en-
couragement and aid should be giv-
en by the League to particular so-
cial welfare activities in which stu-
dents show an interest.

Next year League should spon-
sor discussions on a theoretical ba-
sis and could arrange — possibly
with Alliance—a panel discussion
or conference with prominent so-
cial theorists participating. .A se-
ries of lectures on social conditions
in foreign countries should be
sponsored (in spite of the lack of
success in this year’s series).

It should be stressed that League
provides an opportunity to increase
one’s knowledge of the real prob-
lems that will have to be faced by
conscientious people after college.

The League Board should be
made to feel more of a _ unified
group; its members should in fact
be the people active in and enthusi-
astic about working for better so-
cial conditions, and human rela-

tionships. ,
