Four Fulbright Fellowship Winners
Anticipate Graduate Study Abroad

Three seniors in Rhoads Hall
and one in Pembroke East have
been given Fulbright fellowships
for advanced study. abroad next
year.

Catherine Rodgers, an English
major from Scarsdale, 'N. Y., will
study English literature at St.
Hilda’s College, Oxford. She hopes
to concentrate on seventeenth cen-
tury literature there, and then re-
turn to the United States to do
further graduate work.

Ann Knudsen and Nancy Degen-
hardt will, both be enrolled in the
American School of Classical Stud-

J. Catlin Awarded
Wilson Fellowship

‘Judy Catlin, Radnor senior, will
spend next year at Radcliffe on a
Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. She
will live in Cambridge and attend

the Harvard Russian Institute.

A graduate of Friends’ School in
Washington, Judy attended Sweet
Briar for a year, and then worked
for the government for another
year, before entering Bryn Mawr
as a sophomore. Last. summer she
studied at the Georgetown Foreign
Service School. A Russian major,
she will spend this summer at an
as yet unidentified job, and in
traveling to Boston to get accli-
mated.

Judy is not yet sure of exactly
what curriculum she will pursue at
Radcliffe. Fellowships are given
with the stipulation that the win-
ners will seriously consider enter-
ing the teaching field while at
graduate school. Besides teaching,
Judy is interested in the fields of
government service and writing,
and sees the Russian major as one
offering quite a few opportunities.

ies program.” She said that this
is actually the type of course Bryn
Mawr offers, by giving majors in
a field, rather than in one subject.

As a professor of a required
course, Warner B. Berthoff said
that he was forced to speak in de-
fense of freshman English. It is
by no means a remedial course; all
college students need to know how
to read, and to express ideas co-
herently. If certain students were
exempt from freshman English, as
has been proposed, the/standard of
the course would fall.

The fundamental human_atti-
tudes. towards history and how
they change, particularly with re-
spect to Greek history, is one of

both in teaching and in her own re-

chaeological work in- Greece and
Turkey. From her archaeological
work and the greater knowledge it
gives her of Greece two thousand
years ago, Miss Lang can convey
something more of Greece than is
given in the textbooks.

The question, “what is good
teaching?” was then brought up
by Mrs. Manning for general dis-
cussion among the panel and the
parents. The first general state-
ment given is that good teaching
arouses enthusiasm for the sub-
ject, which must be combined with
clarity of thought which is imbed-
ded in intellectual discipline. In
answer to Miss Lang’s question,
“ Are students good judges of
teachers?”, it was the consensus
of the people on the panel that
they are not,

Mrs. Manning added that the stu-
dent was distressed to get two or
three points of view and have to
choose himself, Part of the job of
teaching is to make students real-
ize, exams notwithstanding, that
there is no clear cut “yes” or “no”
answer to every question. One of
the teacher’s jobs is to make the
difficulties in the subject evident. |

On Portuguese Renaissance Writers

Charlotte Busse, ’55

Boies Penrose, author of Trayel
and Discovery in the Renaissarice,
spoke on “Three Portuguese Ad-
venturers of the Renaissance” at
vue UWeanery on Thursday after-
noon, April 14. The talk was spon-
sored by the Friends of the Li-| ©
brary.

Mr. Penrose, after pointing to

In the more advanced of the two’ Portugala early lead during the

Renaissance in the development of
a colonial empire, full-rigged -ships
and the best in travel literature,
sketched in the lives of three dash-
ing Kenaissance writers: Joao de
Castro, Fernao Mendes Pinto and
Luis de Camoens.

De Castro was statesman
and knight of the Renaissance
whose escapades not only took him
through numerous wars in India,
but. included a daring voyage up
the Red Sea into the inner sanc-
tum of Moslem territory and a trip
up Mount Sinai. Mae

The second Portuguese, Fernao
Mendes Pinto, is known as a fa-
mous adventurer and ‘an unmiti-
gated prevaricator. His autobiog-
raphy combined in all imaginative
sincerity everything he heard, read
and saw during a career which be-
gan with travels in Abyssinnia, in-
cluded capture, sale and several
escapes from Turkish slavery, and
ended with settled life in Portugal
where he told his tales to a fasci-
nated audience that included King
Philip of Spain.

In his varied career he was re-
sponsible for the opening of Indo-
China to European trade, was
shipwrecked after looting Chinese
tombs, sent to work on the China
Wall after arrest on:a vagrancy
charge, served for a time as a Jes-
uit novice, and is even said to have
introduced the musket to Japan.

Camoens, the most important lit-
erary figure of the three, was ex-
iled after a court romance, lost his
right eye in military service in
Africa, returned to Lisbon only to

symbolism of a scarf. The value
of the scarf Seemed at its highest
when it was being fought over, but
quickly lost its “allure” when it
was received as a present.

“Theme and Variations,” describ-
ed as “a dance based on. a main
theme with individual variations
and accompanying reactions”, with
its percussion accompaniment and
robot-like dancers, proved to be
subtly and not so subtly comic.
Alice Lattimore’s variation was a
highlight,

“Shatteréd Mirror” employed the
mirror theme in which two separ-
ate dancers perform the same
movements but with opposite arms
or legs. When the “mirror” was
“shattered”, the two figures turn-
ed to their own independent move-
ments, but still conserved a corres-
ponding “oppositeness”, in that
they were always directly across
from each other.

In “Excavation of Troy”, Eliza-
beth Klupt gave us her interpreta-
tion of the Archibald MacLeish
poem. Although her voice sound-
ed a bit unnatural at first, it even-
ed itself out later in the piece,
which was an original and well ex-
ecuted work.

“Scenes from Childhood” captur-
ed the mood it sought to catch,
largely because of the enthusiasm
with which it was danced. It prov-
ed to be one of the most success-
ful numbers on the program.

The members of the Dance Club
who participated in the concert
were: Connie Brown, Dina Biker-
man, Christine Cunill, Millicent
Dudden, Wendy Kaplan, Elizabeth
Klupt, Alice Lattimore, Leora Lu-
ders, Anne Mazick, Violet Shaw,
Mary Vorys, Lois Glantz, and Sara
White. Gail Ames and Harriet



Barsky were accompanists.
