Geologist L. Dryden Discusses
Origin Of Atl
especially contributed
By Amy Heinel
At Tuesday evening’s Sigma Xi
meeting, Dr. Lincoln Dryden pre-
sented some of the research work
he has done on the Atlantic Coast-
al Plain. Dr. Dryden was on sab-
batical leave during the 1952-1953
college year, and at that time
worked with the United States
Geological Survey in the coastal
plain area.
Dr. Dryden began his lecture by
describing the geography and
physiography of tle coastal plain.
The plain is distinguished from the
Piedmont area, which adjoins it on
the west, by a sharp topographic
change. The Piedmont is comprised
of hard rock which stands higher
Goldman Delivers
Talk Here on Feb. 7
The Mallory Whiting Webster
Memorial Lecture will be delivered
by Eric Frederick Goldman at 8:30
in Goodhart Hal};February 7. Mr.
Goldman, an associate professor in
history at Princeton, will speak on
the topic, “The American—As Lib-
eral and Conservative”.
The speaker received a Ph.D. in
American History at Johns Hopkins
University. He was a Fulbright
visiting professor at the Univer-
sity of Vienna in 1953 and ’54. His
writing iheludes articles for Time
magazine and several books in-
cluding Rendezvous with Destiny,
A History of Modern American Re-
form, which covers the years be.
tween the end of the Civil War and
the Truman Administration. Mr.
Goldman is also the editor of His-
antie Coastal Plain
than the coastal plain, the transi-
tion being the fall line on which
many of our larger eastern cities
are located. The coastal plain ex-
tends from approximately Phila-
delphia to the Atlantic shore. “It is
Jat, and at a rather low eleva-
sion—not more than 200 feet. The
zeology consists of. unconsolidated
oeds of sand, clay, and pebbles. It
is evident that the. material has
been transported to its present po-
sition since the pebbl ve been
‘ounded by wear.
It seemed obvious that th te-
cial of the coastal plain would
have come from the Piedmont,
since that is the handiest place by
virtue of its location, In order to
determine the origin of the coastal
plain, a source for the minerals
must be found. A sand is almost
all quartz, which has too wide an
occurrence to be diagnostic, but
the word almost is the saving fac-
tor. There is a minute percentage
of heavy minerals, heavier since
their density is greater than
quartz.
- Dr. Dryden described how the
heavy minerals are used as tracers
to isolate the source of a sediment
and showed some of the problems
and complexities with which one
must cope in order to reach an ac-
ceptable solution.
Heavy minerals are also imper-
tant in that some of them contain
rare elements which are of great
value industrially: The search for] -
ore bodies on the coastal plain has
fostered the field research on. the
coast, but Dr. Dryden asserts that
much more work needs to be done
before any results will be pro-

Graduate Survey Shows 81% of B.M.C.
*s Are Married,
The results of an unusually com-
prehensive survey of college wom-
en were reported by Miss McBride,
president of Bryn Mawr, in her an-
nual report to, the trustees issued
on January 1.
’ Information on family, job and
community activities was contrib-
uted by 5,000 women, who had
been students at Bryn Mawr, the
majority receiving one of the four
degrees given by the College.
goo Way Study
The Bryn Mawr survey included
four groups. with degrees from the
College: the A.B.’s, M.S.S.’ (Master
of Social - - Service) ; M.A.’s and
Ph.D.’s. 4 ”
iA. summary of the survey fo
lows: ‘
_ A “three-way analysis” ‘was
made—separately for the various
degree groups—of the individual’s
main activities in terms of family,
job.and community. Such an an-
alysis is also a gross simplification.
For example, it excludes most in-
terests in the arts, in extensive
reading, in correspondence courses
or study groups. —
. Listed first are the A.B.’s with
no. higher degrees, representing 75
to. 80 per cent of the total A.B.’s.
The largest proportion, 31 per cent
of the whole, is concerned with the] ,
taney ands eat’ with; a:inle-outaide
fig: on. wth emai se
28% Are Employed
“han that concerned with the fam-
ily only, 15 as compared with 31
per cent.
‘These figures are just about re-
versed in the Ph.D. group, where
the proportions concerned with
family are 11 and 14 per cent and
the proportions concerned with jobs
34 and 33 percent.
Interesting also is the fact that
the M.A.’s fall just about betweeen
the A.B.’s and the PhD.’s in their
main concentrations, for more of
them (26 per cent) are occupied
with their families only than in
che case of the Ph.D.’s, and more
of thenf”are occupied with their
jobs only .(23 per cent) than in the
case of the A.B.’s.
Of the “two concentrations” the
most frequent for A.B.’s is family
and community, while the most fre-
quent for Ph.D.’s is family and job.
fhe. “three-way..combinations” are

Marriage and Family
Among those taking degrees be-
-ween 1910 and 1950, 81 per cent
had married at the time of the

At the January 10 college as-
sembly Miss McBride announced
that the proposed increase in fees,
which had been previously discuss-
ed, is now a reality.
Starting with the 1965-56 school
year, there will be a $200 increas
in fees, although it has not ye
definitely been decided how mucl
of the increase will come unde
tuition, and how much under resi-
dence.
Actually, Miss McBride pointec
out, the rise should have come last
year, but it was thought unfair to
have two increases within one
“generation”. “The seniors have
previously had a rise in fees.
The reason for the increase is
due mainly to the problem of ris-
ing prices and the need to try to
raise salaries to a ‘satisfactory
level.
In the U.S., it is a custom for

President Announces In 1955-56
Fees To Be Increased By $200
the student to pay only part of the
cost of education, with the institu-
tion paying the other part. In a
tax-supported college, the student
may pay a small part. This year,
the Pennsylvania taxpayers will
pay $1000 per student at Penn,
State.
In private colleges, such as, Bryn
Mawr, support is received from
gifts and endowments. Last year,
B.M.C. students had about $700
apiece put toward their education
from the endowment income.
Deficit $137,000
This, however, was far from
eriough. Bryn Mawr had its fourth .
successive deficit last year, that of
$49,000. Miss McBride told of how
the four years before 1950 ended
with a surplus of $31,000, while
the next four years gave the col-
lege a deficit of $137,000.
Miss McBride stressed that. the
increased fees will not be used to
finance new work, such as the new
Science Building. The funds nec-
essary for such purposes, will
come from new gifts.
Although a lange part of the in-
crease will be used to raise salar-
ies, this does not mean a substan-
tial increase in salaries, but rather
a small one. The $200 increase
presupposes the continuing effort
to increase the endowment, and
also means that the college will re-
quire continuing economies,
Added Scholarships
Being aware that many students
will need larger scholarships now,
the college will set aside an amount
to supplement the scholarship
fund. Miss McBride extended an_
invitation from herself and the
Deans to any student who would
like to see the administration
about scholarships.

We The Jury
“A psychology student, of course,” was the first remark
after the group huddled around the local paper had read the
front page. The headline read ‘Crazed Swarthmore Junior
Kills Student in Dormitory.’ r’
Students here are necessarily interested and affected by
This time our
school may be in the spotlight too. Bryn Mawr, Haverford,
and Swarthmore form a group of cooperating colleges which
oy
are similar in caliber and organization. At intercollege meet-'|
ings we have more in common with their students than with
those from most other loca} schools and we often support the
same policies.
There is no reason to deny or to gloss.over the connec-
tion. Instead, we extend our sympathy to Swarthmore, as
the main target of many accusing fingers. We realize that
the fingers will also extend to all people who have had psychi-
atric treatment, people who keep guns available to potential
killers, children of divorced parents, veterans, juniors, col-
lege students, psychology students, and, naturally, Bryn
Mawr.
But that’s unjust, you may feel; Bryn Mawr has no con-
nection with the crime. . You’re right. Furthermore the
other groups are similiarly guiltless—all are victims ‘of the
tendency to generalize. Swarthmore, in the center of the
spotlight, is the site of an unfortunate incident—which might
have happened anywhere.
‘Our righteous indignation should be directed not at
‘proving’ our innocence but at people who let one person. col-
or their opinion of a group. .
Man of the Year
We were rather surprised when we recently picked up a
copy of one of Henry Luce’s publications and found out that
John Foster Dulles had been named Man of the Year. We
weren’t convinced of it then and we were less convinced after
reading the article.
Said Time, “Dulles is the man of 1954 because, in the de-
cisive areas of international politics, he played the year’s
most effecfive role. He made mistakes, and he suffered heavy
losses.’ But he was nimble ih disentangling himself from
his errors.”
The ability to “disentangle himself from his errors”
would seem e rather a hegative attribute, surely the very
east that would ualify a persbn for man of the year.
However, apologizes Tim¢ in the next sentence, “The
heaviest losses of 1954 were prepared by serious mistakes
made years ago; Dulles limited thé damage.” Apparently,
Time thinks Dulles owes his sélection to the fact that he fol-
lowed Dean Acheson. :
We don’t think this bit of luck should qualify him as the
outstanding person in the field of international relations this
year. The biggest problem ‘ that faced and is facing the free
world is the problem of the r _of Germany. and-the
‘defense of Western Europe. In that field we think Dr. Dulles
ranked below both Mendes-France and Anthony Eden in ef-
fectiveness. :

Science Unable To Prove A God Does Not Exist

To the Editor of the College News: biology, psychology, and a poss-
Although it is perhaps imposs-
ible to prove by science that a god
‘exists, this by no means shows
that it is possible to prove that a
god does not exist by science. Take
for example the particular scien-
tists, ‘who “statistics” say, are
mostly “atheists. Certainly they

can they definitely rule out the ex-
istence of a god?

ural laws at work, but there is no
way in which these men can get

The biologists can explain the
creation’ of a néW life in terms of
natural laws or patterns. But then
they run up against the factor of
cause and change, in primary cre-
ation and in evolution, which they
cannot explain, leaving room for
belief in a god.
Next we come to the sociologists
who deal with natural laws, but
now as they are at work in society.
Sociologists can find, although
few seem to, reason to believe in
an almighty. This reason comes
from the fact that: this living mat-
ter, man, had, what is to them, an,
unexplainable cause, as do the
natural laws which exist in his re-
lations.
Then there is the psychologist.
He believes he can explain the
mind and its relationship to ‘behav-
ior through natural laws. But here
these natural laws have become]:
something derived from hoe tan-
gibly existing thing. Psychologists
have delved into the realm of the
spiritual and have found a reason
for something material. Here also}
natural laws exist.
It might be worthwhile for those
interested in statistics to further
inquire and see ‘how many mem-
bers of the medical profession,
whose training has included a
background of , physics, chemistry, |
ible knowledge of sociology, a co-
ordination of the sciences in their
service to mankind, how many
members of this ‘profession consid-
er themselves atheists.
The natural laws are accepted
and used in further studies and as
proof of other theories by these
scientists in all their fields. As
they are accepted they lead to the
question of an ordered universe.

Stones From A
Glass House
By Molly Epstein, "56
Joseph McCarthy is not alone in
his recent plight. The censure
weapon must have held great dra-
matic appeal for Chancellor Ed-
ward K. Graham of the Woman’s
College of the University of North
Carolina in Greensboro, for pre-
sumably the comparison with the
national scene provided an impetus
for and justification of his recent
action.
The curious aspects of an in-
triguing situation which reached
its climax .just before Christmas
vacation are that, first, the so-
called “offenders,” rather than
bearing any resemblance to “the
formidable Junior Senator from
Wisconsin, seem to have commit-
ted an opposite kind of “crime,”
and second, that.their behavior in
this paradoxically parallel situa-
tion is far more creditable.
“Anatomical Drawing”
possibly be familiar to this cam-
ipus because of the wide publicity
which it received in national news-
papers. However, assuming that
many of us never did see morning
on December 18, a recapitulation
seems in order,
Coraddi, the literary magazine
of Woman’s College, included in
its. most recent issue what the
United Press has referred to as
‘an anatomical drawing” of an un-
clothed male figure. (I might well
take issue with the accuracy of
this report as my own eyes attest
to the fact that the simple line
drawing might well be classified
as “semi-abstract.”)
Three weeks after the magazine
began to circulate, the Student
Legislature, profoundly shocked,
introduced a resolution to censure
the staff on-the grounds of pornog-
raphy. Because of the intervention
of the faculty advisor to the Leg-
islature, the motion was defeated
21-18.
“State of Emergency”
Apparently, then, although by a
frighteningly small majority, the
students stood behind their maga-
zine. (It is interesting to note that
the student newspaper, the Caro-
linian, attacked its sister publica-
tion.) :
However, Chancellor Graham,
sensing the vital nature of this
problem, saw fit, in effect, to de-
clare a “state of emergency,” and,
ignoring the recommendations of
the Legislature, issued his own
censure. This was sent first to the
Greensboro newspaper, second to
Editor Debora Marcus and third,
with a covering letter, to the rest
of the student body.
The censure was, to be sure, an
admirable piece of written work.
It asserted that the Chancellor was
certain that the staff had not been
guilty of any “malicious intent.”
Mr. Graham was not of the opinion
that the picture was obscene. ~
Out of. Place
However, he stated, the staff
should have realized a distinction
between “freedom and _ license.”
Their culpability was defined in
‘|terms of “poor taste” and the
Chancellor felt that they: should
have realized that such art work,
while suitable for galleries and
museums, ‘was decidedly out - of
place in an undergraduate maga-
zine. ad
- The staff members, realizing the
impossibility of continuing to print
Coraddi under the terms which
were clearly implied (namely, an
externally-inflicted revision in pol-
icy), resigned en masse, submit- |

“Mademoiselle” Names Four BMC
- Four Bryn Mawr juniors were
notified. duréng. the -Christmas_holi-
days that they were among the
five hundred college, students se-
lected as members of Mademoi-
selle’s College Board. Patty Gil-
martin, Anne Hobson, Gladys Rob-
erts, and Charlotte Smith are now
competing for one of the twenty
Mademoiselle “guest editorships,”
New York in June, preparing the
August Mademoiselle college issue.
The four are all members of
Miss. Linn’s. advanced writing
course, and largely ‘through her
encouragement they decided to en-
ter the contest. In trying out for
the board, they submitted a criti-
cism of a Mademoiselle issue, con-
centrating on one aspect of the
magazine.
One of the four, Patty Biles:
tin, was mentioned as one of the
twenty-four board members who
did “an all-round good job” on
their tryouts. As her “special in-
terest” assignment, Patty criti-
cized two of Mademoiselle’s fiction
stories about children. Patty is in-
terested in writing about children,
and in that field counts Truman
Capote as her hero and model. Pat-
ty, who wants “definitely” to be a
writer of short. stories, counts in
her writing experience the editor
ship of her high school newspaper
and a “pile of rejection slips.” She
also worked in a publishing house
during one summer, where, “keep-
ing my eyes and ears open,” she
learned a great deal about the less
romantic aspects of writing.
Anne Hobson, who is perhaps
better known on campus for her
dramatic ability, also offered a
criticism of the Mademoiselle “fic-
tion stories, which she thought on
the whole were “excellent.” Anne,
who is an English major, thinks
she may go into writing or teach-
ing, as a career. However, Anne
confessed that she sees little fu-
ture for her in writing, unless, she
laughed, you wanted to count her
“second novel” which she has hid-
den in her desk.

last year. Charlotte is a history

are-once again offered an oppor-
tunity for recognition in the form
of the Katherine Fullerton Gerould
Memorial Prize. This annual award
is given for excellence in various
branches of writing, including long
and short narrative, poetry (a
group of poems is recommended),
informal essay and drama.
In the years since the award has
been made, it has been won vari-
ously by writers of fiction, poets
and one playwright. Last year’s
judges reported that “the prose
was found to be generally better
‘than the poetry and showed a high
_level-of competence-in-the handling |”
of the short story form.”
Manuscripts should be typed,
double spaced, on one side of the
paper only and must not be signed.
They should be deposited in the
Alumnae Office, the Deanery, by
-or before Tuesday, April 5, at 4:00
p.m., where they will be numbered
and a corresponding number given
to the author. Only work written
°1954, should be submitted. Con-

To Debate on China
The fact that West Point will
not be allowed to participate in
intercollegiate debating this year
has caused much comment in col-
leges throughout the country. The
Defense Department prohibited the
Military Academy’s participation
after it was announced that the
subject would be the question of
whether Red China should be ad-
mitted to the U.N.
The problem was discussed at
the meeting of the Alliance Board
on Thursday, January 6. Most
members felt that the cadets should
be allowed to debate, as they as
members of a debating team, were
not expressing the opinion of the
government, but simply debating
an assigned subject.
The point was made that Presi-
dent Eisenhower, a West Point
graduate, said that he’ considered
the Defense Department’s action
unwise. It is true that other col-
leges have refused to debate the
question, but in every case the de-
cision was made by the students
themselves, tL
The question will be reopened at
the next meeting of the Alliance
Board. The Board members seem-
ed to feel that some sort of action
should be taken, perhaps in the
form of a letter, either to the De-
fense Department or to Senators.

NSA Meets, Plans
Spring Conference .
A conference on _ international
coexistence, to be held at Swarth-
more probably during the _ first
week in March, was among the
topics discussed at the Pennsy]-
vania-West Virginia Regional Ex-
ecutive Committee meeting of the
N.S.A. The committee meeting was
January 8, and had as its Bryn
Mawr representative Sheppie
Glass, travel director for the re-
gion.
The. committee also discussed
the next Regional conference, to be
held at Pennsylvania State Uni-
versity in the spring. The theme
for the spring conference will be
the relationhsip between education
and government.
The region also hopes to have a
conference on the problem of aca-
demic freedom.
The Regional Executive Com-
mittee also discussed the problems
of the past regional meeting, which
meeting was held at Rosemont on
December 10 and 11. Judy Hay-
wood, Wendy Ewer, and Sheppie
attended as Bryn -Mawr’s voting!
delegates, along with five other
Bryn Mawr Students.
Workshops Held
The theme of the December con-
ference was “Four Dimensions in
Human Relations.” |§ Workshops
were held in student government,
desegregation, foreign students on
campus, and campus publications.
- Sheppie, who is Bryn Mawr’s
“informal N.S.A. coordinator,”
thought these workshops “very
good,” but noted that the plenary
pointed up one of the weaknesses
of the region—the lack of variety
At the plenary Bryn Mawr was
instrumental in introducing one
bill, which was subsequently de-
feated, It would have arranged for
a letter to be sent to all the col-
leges in the region in order to de-
termine whether or not they would
be willing to have a group of Rus-
sian editors visit their campuses.
Sci. Club Traces.
Jobs for Summer
“Opportunities for Summer Jobs
in Science” will be discussed at a
joint meeting of the Bryn Mawr
Science Club and the Haverford
Biology and Chemistry Clubs on
Thursday, February 10.
Students from both colleges who
have held jobs will give a personal
insight into various aspects of
their work. Requirements, salary
and living conditions will also be
considered.
Anyone who has had summer ex-
perience in a laboratory or hospi-
tal is cordially invited to partici-|=
pate. The Science Club requests
that they contact Chris Vollmer,
Rhoads, Joan Smith, Merion, or
Madeleine de Ropp, Radnor.

Letters ‘from a
ae ee
By Joyce Mitchell, ’55
Mr, MacGregor’s most recent
book, From.a Christian Ghetto, is
essentially a criticism of present-
day Christendom with its: numer-
able congruities and innumerable
incongruities. This criticism is
brought out in a series of letters
written in the 25th century by
Paul, a Christian tutor in a world
where Christianity is subversive,
to Timothy, his pupil specializing
in the history of 20th century
Christianity.
Satire and Repartee
The letters are tutorial comment
upon papers which Timothy has
submitted to Paul, and are so writ-
ten to bring out the maximum of
various, situations which are dis-
mendably and artfully combined
satire and repartee to provide a
delightful experience in wit, on
Which basis alone the book is
worth reading. At the same time,
however, the reader is not allowed
to lose sight of the author’s main
purport.
An excellent chapter, “Orthodox
Pretend-Christianity,” would best
serve to illustrate the attitude of
the majority of the 25th century
world towards the now outlawed
and driven underground Christian-
ity. By this time & World-State
has been organized, and included
among the many world institutions

ligion,
“Beautiful Little Creed”
Although the World State
the official state religion, the Asso-
ciation of Temples of Orthodox
pretend-Christianity is an accred-
ited religion, and it is one of the
latter Temples to which Paul goes
—in danger of his life—and hears
the service, part of which is here
recorded:
“‘*And now,’ said the rktr
(World- Basic-Grunt), beaming
again, ‘don’t you think that after
such lovely music we might say
our beautiful little creed? No, no,
of course I don’t have to tell in-
telligent people like you that our
fine, old, hallowed creed is not in
any sense a statement of what
we really believe. But it has
‘proved itself. Yes, friends, it
has proved itself to have a most
beneficial effect. Most bracing, I
find, speaking personally. I know
some of our Scottish temples of
Orthodox _ pretend - Christianity
on the other side of the Atlantic

gregation of the great Glasgow
Temple, for instance, formally

about our religion that we dan

that Orthodox pretend-Christianity
is not as dissimilar to 20th century
Christianity as he might think at
the onset. Thus lip service of the

Kase Exam Worries
It Happened One Night, the first
modern type comedy to be made
by Hollywood, won Academy
Awards for the two stars, Clark
Gable and Claudette Colbert, and
for the picture itself.
The audience which attended
A.A.’s first movie of the year, en-
joyed the fashions of the 30’s the
ancient cars, and as a matter of
fact the picture itself. Claudette
Colbert, a millionaire’s daughter,
performed some diving, swimming,
and running in a manner that
would have warmed the gym de-
partment’s heart; at the end she
got her man and Clark Gable got
his woman.
It all goes to show that love al-
ways triumphs, especially when
Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert
travel from Miami to New York by
bus.
That happened one night, and
now Mr. Deeds Goes to Town-——or
at least he will this Friday night
when A.A. will show its second
movie in its - Saapm to relieve the
tudying. This is nathan: uway of,
saying that they are giving you a
good excuse to goof off.

The exchange papers this week
prove that: even during the post
holiday, pre-exam stage of college
existence the students are able to
}smileand poke fun, at themselves.
This filler appears in the Tem-
ple University News. “‘I would
tlike ‘to marry--your daughter, sir.’
‘Well, you can leave your name/
and address, and if nothing better
turns up, we will notify you.’”
A rhyme from the Rensselaer
Polytechnic paper says:
“My nerves are very close to

Satire In MacGreg
or’s Critical Work
Attacks Christendom Of 20th Century
Continued from Page 3
20th century Christians
nounced.
From a Christian Ghetto, sub-
titled Letters of Ghostly Wit, criti-
cizes very few doctrinal elements
of Christianity. It is in the form
of a satire. The book, considered
as a whole, sets forth the cardinal
sin in nominal Christianity; to wit,
the accentuation of petty delusions
among the various sects:
Separated by Delusion
“Most 20th century Christians
is de-
flitted from one delusion to an- ;
other confident that, if one fail-
ed, the next would serve the pur-
pose just as well. In this way
they were generally successful
in avoiding coming to grips with
any situation relevant to Christ.
Having placed several layers of
delusion between themselves and
Christ, they set themselves the
imaginary problem of finding a
delusion to pierce the delusions
vhey had taken the considerable
trouble to invent. If by any
chance they hit on a delusion
that seemed to be in the way of
achieving this interesting effect,
they immediately shouted round
the corner at themselves, so to
speak, that the orginal layers of
delusion were in danger and they
had better get them reinforced
quick, or else the counter-delu-
sion would destroy the other de-
lusions, and they would be left
with only one delusion between
them: and Christ, which would
not be nearly large enough a
safety-margin. In the ghettos
on the other hand, we modern
Christians have been continually
‘deprived by the World State au-
thorities of any delusions we
‘might have invented... Our
sense of insecurity is unmitigat-
ed by even the flimsiest thread
that we might cling to.... I
cannot too often remind you,
_Tim, how hard it is to enter into
the spirit of the Church in the
late Middle Ages, There is no
analogy for it in the modern
world, not even the Old-London
fog.” (From the chapter “Is a
that the criticism is directed to-
ward 20th century Christendom,
not Christianity. Present trends
among nominal Christians are.car-
ried to possible ends: A ghetto
Christianity where Christians sub=
mit rather than expose themselves
to Christ; a religion of people “in
the world but not of the world”;
real-Christianity; persecuted
Christians—“beaten and boycotted
and plundered and disfranchised
and murdered and ridiculed and
quarantined and_ vivisected and
lynched and lapidated and keel-
hauled and counselled and psycho-
analyzed ., .”
Solution Implicit
The solution for the crisis which
20th century Christians face is im-
Jlicit rather than explicit. The au-
hor’s prospect can be labelled pes-
imistic only in respect to present-
ay Christendom. For Christianity
¢ represents the triumph of true
»elief over shallow profession.

Sunday afternoon, was given by
he Bryn Mawr student counselors
‘¢ the camp, and was attended by
most all the campers, as well as
oy their brothers, sisters, and par-
nts.
In addition to a general reunion,

the annual Christmas Party on De-

contributed its Christmas tree for
ents and games for all the children.
The trees were later given to fam-
ilies who could not otherwise have
afforded to have one.
The Camp is a community project
which has been going for nine
years. The college contributes the
pool, and organizations such as
the Main Line Junior Red Cross
and the Kiwanis Club also help
support the project.
About 160 children come to the
camp from 17 communities along
he Main Line, and stay for eight
veeks. Four senior counsellors

Skiing ability is definitely not a
prerequisite, and all equipment
may be rented at Stowe.
This year, there is no limit as to
how many girls may go. A statioa
wagon will. transport eight stu-
dents while others may go by train
or plane. Costs are as. follows:
station wagon round trip will
probably be under $20; train and
night plane round trips are both
about. $28 each; day plane round
trip, about $40. Those staying at
a lodge will pay about $5 per night
for bed, breakfast, and dinner. Less
expensive places, without meals
and spots for sleeping bag enthus-
iasts, may be available, but they
are farther from the ski slopes.
Detailed information is posted in

Chorus Helps Sing
‘Hansel and Gretel’
Twenty-three members of chorus
spent part of their Christmas va-
cations as the gingerbread boys
and girls in two. performances of
“Hansel and Gretel” with the Phil-
adelphia Orchestra under Eugene
Ormandy.
Participating in the program
meant rehearsals before Christmas
and staying in the neighborhood of
Philadelphia during the vacation
since the “little opera” was given
on December 23 and 27.
The best feature of rehearsals
was working with Mr. Ormandy
who, in addition to more serious
virtues, “looks like Mutt and Jeff”
| next to Mr. Goodale, who had plan-
ned for Bryn Mawvr’s participation
last summer.
Among experiences connected
with the performances was a tour
of the Philadelphia Academy of
Music.
The girls who participated were:

The proportion married drops to
about two-thirds in the groups on

than half on the Ph.D. level. For
these ‘advanced degrees, however,
the change over successive decades,
as far as marital status goes, is
even more marked than for the

quarter or less married; among the
Ph.D.’s of the 40’s and 50’s, despite
the time factor, 50 to 65 percent
has already married. The average
number of children for the Ph.D.’s
is two, lower than the average for

Chorus Helps Sing
‘Hansel and Gretel’
Twenty-three members of chorus
spent part of their Christmas va-
cations as the gingerbread boys
and girls in two. performances of
“Hansel and Gretel” with the Phil-
adelphia Orchestra under Eugene
Ormandy.
Participating in the program
meant rehearsals before Christmas
and staying in the neighborhood of
Philadelphia during the vacation
since the “little opera” was given
on December 23 and 27.
The best feature of rehearsals
was working with Mr. Ormandy
who, in addition to more serious
virtues, “looks like Mutt and Jeff”
| next to Mr. Goodale, who had plan-
ned for Bryn Mawvr’s participation
last summer.
Among experiences connected
with the performances was a tour
of the Philadelphia Academy of
Music.
The girls who participated were:
L. Beekey, M. Bridge, J. Catlin, C.
Chittenden, J. Cushmore, M. De
Ropp, B. Flinker, G. V. Gavian, R.
Goodfriend, J. Harris, A. Heinel,
B. Hilgenberg, I. Killough, S. Lil-
jencrants, L. Lindner, N. Moore,
M. Nusbaum, M. Rubajanin, E.
Schwab, M. Schwab, B. Vermey,
and M. Wiseman.
g_ Graduate Survey Shows 81% Of BMC
AB’s Are Married; 28% Are Employed
Continued from Page 1
The proportion married drops to
about two-thirds in the groups on
the M.A. level and somewhat: less
than half on the Ph.D. level. For
these ‘advanced degrees, however,
the change over successive decades,
as far as marital status goes, is
even more marked than for the
A.B.’s Among the early Ph.D.’s, a
quarter or less married; among the
Ph.D.’s of the 40’s and 50’s, despite
the time factor, 50 to 65 percent
has already married. The average
number of children for the Ph.D.’s
is two, lower than the average for
the A.B.’s.
The highest employment
found among the Bryn Mawr
Ph.D.’s, where the figure is 72 per
cent. Next, at 44 per cent, come
those who have an M.A, -but no
higher degree, and next at 28 per
cent, those who have an A.B. but
no higher degree.
