College Mourns Death Of Third President

On iMay 6, Dr. Marion Edwards
Park, President Emeritus of Bryn
Mawr, died in Plymouth, Massa-
chusetts. Miss Park was Bryn
Mawr’s third president, holding
office from 1922 until Miss McBride
assumed the position in 1942. The
New York Times calls Miss Park
“a child of the great New Eng-
land intellectual tradition” while
the Tribune refers to. her as one
of the most distinguished woman
scholars and educators. -

During her administration, Miss
‘Park initiated a great many
changes at Bryn Mawr. Most im-
pressive were the additions to the
campus of Rhoads Hall, the West
Wing of the library, and Park,
the science building which was
named for her.

Miss Howe; an undergraduate

at_ Radcliffe mwhen-Miss—Park-was_



lege, Oxford, in England; and
Judith Gayle Polsky at Univer-
sity of Aix4Marseilles, Faculté
des Lettres in France.









a dean there, and Manager of Halls
at Bryn Mawr when Miss Park
was president, remembered her as
“an exceedingly warm and human

scholar.” She recalls her pointé
wit and her inexhaustible fund of
stories, all with the New England
knack for hominess and getting
straight to the point.

Both (Miss Howe and Mrs. Helen
Taft Manning have remarked on
her great interest in and friendli-
ness with the undergraduates..as
well as with the faculty and ad-
ministration. Wrote Mrs. Manning
in the Anniversary Alumnae Bul-
letin, “She respected some stu-
dents more than others of course,
‘but she was influenced by student
opinion as a whole rather than
by individuals who presented care-
fully prepared plans for changing
what was wrong with the college.”

A quality that Miss Howe noted
was her “buoyancy”, the ability
to see things in proportion—“‘She

followed another of Bryn Mawr’s
traditions, “She was an excellent
knitter, and was constantly knit-
ting baby sweaters,” recalls Miss
Howe. *

‘Miss Park was one of the ‘aiid
ers of her generation in the move-
ment for the woman’s right to
education and the use of her mind.
Once, when she was asked what
good a college education would be
for a woman, she offered these
words: .

“College training not only gives
a young woman knowledge more
simply and painlessly than she can
acquire it elsewhere; it also teach-
es her to use her mind as an in-
strument, a tool of precision,
whatever the particular job to
which it may tbe applied.”

At. her retirement, Miss Park| available-—at—press—time“as ‘the ~~





Feould* make you see your problems
in relation to a larger whole and
you always went away feeling re-
freshed.” Among her varied in-
terests, including public affairs,



person besides being a great

music, and travel, Miss Park also



was awarded the IM. Carey Thomas
Prize. Then she_ returned to
Plymouth, where she remained on
the board of trustees of Bryn
Mawr, Radcliffe and Simmons col-

ited in some way.

This year’s Alumnae Weekend
at the close of school will bring
about 900 alumnae to the campus.

Plans for the weekend include
a dinner given by President Mc-
‘Bride in honor of the classes of
1900, 1905, and 1910, and other
reunion class dinners and meet-
ings. There will also be an enter-
tainment program arranged by
Ruth iMcAneny Loud, ’23.

The climax of the weekend will
be the convocation in Goodhart
Hall on Saturday afternoon at
which President ‘Millicent Carey
McIntosh of Barnard will speak,
and seventy-five citations will be
given to distinguished alumnae in
recognition of their achievements.

Since there are so many alum-
nae who are deserving of these
honors, the’ recipients have been
limited to those graduating before
1929. Alumnae who are now serv-
ing in research, teaching, and col-
lege administration are not elig-
ible, and women who were head-
mistresses of schools, but. who did

urday, along with the faculty,

A Last Word On The 75th

Whatever the greeting card people may say about the
pangs of recurring birthdays, there can be no misgivings

when the celebrant is an institution.

Institutions thrive on

age, and a round-numbered birthday can be observed with

unmixed delight.
order, for though institutions

A bit of pomp and festivity are also in

may grow no wiser with age

they do, indeed, grow more venerable, and their anniversar-
ies seem less occurrences than achievements.

_ Bryn Mawr’s 75th was, indeed, an achievement, but not
simply because it was reached; the real cause for celebra-
tion was the celebration itself. From the many-hued pro-

cession of the hooded and begowned last September to the
convocation of alumnae next Sunday there will have been an

almost uninterrupted chain of anniversary activity.

The

Anniversary issue of the Alumnae Bulletin (now on the list
of required freshman reading at Wheaton) ; the weekly Sem-
inar on Criticism; symposiums on archaeology, India, and
“Baroque”; and the medium-sized May Day with ersatz oxen
were all but local manifestations of the merry-making. The
Bryn Mawr 75th anniversary was celebrated by alumnae
groups all over the country with concerts, exhibits, panels,
and even lectures by peregrinating faculty.

Today marks the end of the 75th academic year.

That

Bryn Mawr is. any more venerable than she was at seventy-
four may be questionable, but that the 75th celebration was
a real and exciting achievement cannot be doubted.





The NEWS wishes to extend felicitations and farewells
to the class of ’60. We shall miss them.







Class Day’s Skits Satirize
Prowler, Pallas, Perdition

by Kristine Gilmartin
In spite of the ominous date,
Friday the thirteenth of May, and
the imminence of comps., the sen-
iors took time off to poke fun at
themselves and their revered (do
all idols have feet of clay?) pro-
fessors. Class Day skits, ome on
Taylor steps, one outside the gym,
and ‘one in front of the library,
were a triple feature. |

As a typical day wore on, various
ladies and gentlemen in the audi-

and Mrs. Sprague were fresh-air
fiends to the hilt. Mr. Herlihy
was unable to be present since he
was buried by a stack of, the New
York Times. When asked what

Reviewer Examines Creative Work,
Applauds Campus Contributors

by Lynn McDonald

It is no easy task to criticize, especially to
criticize the creative work of one’s colleagues or
comrades. One tends to forget that, regardless of
whose. canons, Aristotle’s or Arnold’s, the critic
adopts, the critic is still a single individual, limited
by virtue of his mortality or human frailty. One
tends to forget this and remember only the words in
the column as representative of collective critical
thought.

It is my task, not lightly assumed, to criticize

the May Bryn Mawr Review. The Review is an ad-
mirable collection of the literary efforts of under-
graduates, generally, and faculty, occasionally—
although one doesn’t call the faculty’s contributions
efforts. However, enough procrastination. Let us_
get on with this analysis, limited though it will
necessarily be, by virtue of not only my frailty but
length and time. '
The poetry in this issue is, on the whole, admir-
The first poem, “April”, either anonymous
or unacknowledged, is rambling and contrived. The
poet catches the tone of April with the first words,
and then proceeds to dissolve into mere word-tor-
rents. The rhyme of the sonnets is occasionally con-
trived; lust and fust-; but-and enough. The first
part of II is well done and catches the mood but,
on the whole, the poet seems to be so intoxicated
with words that she sacrifices feeling and commun-
cation. I prefer the other two sonnets, “February”,
by (I presume) the same unidentified poet. The
simplicity of “How much of man is dream” and
“... the yang and yin of spinning China” is evoca-
tive and memorable. “To Pasternak, II”, the third
and last unidentified contribution, lacks form (the
numerous parentheses are disturbing), but it occa-
sionally is succinct and poignant. I especially liked
“,,. too early is no season to count on”, and “Mo-
ments misleading to live in”. These fragments con-
tain an exquisite distilled simplicity.

“To an Aborigine Child”, by Jane Ann Hess, is
superb, The poem is simple, direct, and as rhyth-
mical as a song. One can almost hear Australia’s
national song “Waltzing Matilda” in the first
stanza. It is natural verse, economical, unassum-
ing and delightful. Joanne Field’s poems, “Thun-
der” and “Beasts”, are particularly memorable. The
imagery is lush and consistent, consistently good.
While each line is memorable in itself, each also
‘distinctly contributes tothe whole textured effect.
They are both “whole” poems, complete, and rich
and strong, like Van Gogh’s painting.

- It is always difficult to write directly about In-
finity and Communication, but Katherine Yablonsky
has done admirably in “Encounter With An Orient-
elle”. She has brought the quest down to earth,
so to speak, dealing with it in terms of particulars
rather than overpowering abstract nominatives.
I think, however, the poet might strive for greater
distillatiom and more control. in her form.

Mr, Wallace’s “Noon Portraits” reminds me of
Japanese poetry and painting. There is an elegance
of understatement, and a distinctly memorable sim-
plicity in these portraits. I am reminded of Japan-
ese art, where a single lime calls to mind more than
the most detailed representative portrait. There
is contrast, light and shade, in these wonderfully
pellucid statements, that is precisely balanced. Noo
word is superfluous; every word is necessary and
desirable. I was especially impressed with i, ii, iv,
vi and vii, although each was delicate and complete.

The prose. E. Anne Eberle’s “The Last Dream
Before Waking” is a beautiful statement on the
loss, of “innocence” and youth. Robin is clear be-
cause we are Robin, or we have been. Charlie, the
old man, is a sort of vates or prophet, who under-
standsRobin and what he seeks from the sea be-
cause he hasn’t forgotten. The style is direct and
generally consistent; the scene, the characters, are
portrayed with depth and love.

Another story on youth and its pain is Martha
E, Meyer’s “Don’t Tarnish the Gold”. The parents
and their daughter are sharply contrasted inthe
initial waking. descriptions. The daughter awakens
with excitement and anticipation (note the verbs:
rang, shook, hopping, smiled, sucked, dashed, shov-
ed, swishing, searching), while the parents, selfish
and incapable of understanding, seem almost drug-
ged. The theme of misunderstood youth is .a-fav-
orite one, especially with youth. Soo

Jane Taylor’s “Waiting for Rain” is another
tale of youth and age, although the approach is
unique. The old lady, Mrs. Eberly, is sharply and
sympathetically portrayed. Her loneliness, her eag-
erness for friendship, for communication, are clear
and touching. Here it is the child who hurts, through
her inability to understand what Mrs. Eberly repre-
sents and seeks. The style is good, and the story,

Students Comment On

‘Earnest’ And ‘Review’

Sincerity Outweights Sopistication
Of. ‘“‘Earnest”’, Maintains Critic

by Lois Potter

“In matters of great importance, style, not sin-
cerity, is the vital thing.” It is a tribute to both
Mr. Butman and his actors that the Bryn Mawr-
Haverford production of The Importance of Being
Earnest succeeded as well as it did, for it complete-
ly. reversed Oscar Wilde’s epigram: style took sec-
ond place to sincerity. The result was a kindlier
Earnest than usual, if a less brilliant one.

This seems to have been Mr. Butman’s intention.
He views Wilde’s characters as basically “nice”
people whose sophistication is only a mask. The
play was thus to move on two levels, the real and
the artificial, and this design inspired the beautiful
sets as well as several individual performances. In
the case of the sets, although most of the people
Italked to did not realize (unless previously en-
lightened) that the walls of Algernon’s drawing-
room were meant to be transparent, it was gener-
ally agreed that they were ideal for this artificial
somal. Als : socal

In the acting, on the other hand, it was the real-
ity rather than the artificiality: that came across—
the characters were obviously “nice”; their sophis-
tication was less evident. The actors showed a great
deal of polish outside their roles (in meeting the
emergencies which arose in the course of. the per-
formance) but within the roles they seemed less sure
of themselves. Earnest was a light, fluffy soufflé
of wit, but it had been taken out of the oven a little
too early.

Pleasing Distortions

The two roles most affected by the interpreta-
tion of the play were those of (Gwendolyn and Miss
Prism. In casting Rob Colby as Gwendolyn, Mr.
Butman insured a sympathetic portrayal of a char-
acter often played as a monster of sophistication.
Though Rob’s performance may have been a bit too
ingénue—too much like Cecily—and I still don’t
think it was really “right” for. Gwendolyn, once
one accepts her conception of the part, there is
little fault to be found in the way she played it.

(Miss Prism, as Nina ‘Sutherland acted her,
scarcely fit Lady Bracknell’s description of the
“female of repellant aspect, remotely connected
with education.” (She was, in fact, a sweet, grand-
motherly little lady, and if this interpretation some-
times seemed to play against the lines, it was a
pleasant change from the usual old maid caricature,
and very nicely done.

The other interpretations were iess unconven-
tional. (Linn Allen’s Jack was a little wild for draw-
ing-room comedy, but one welcomed the contrast
with Algernon, who carried languor to the point of
limpness. He was at his best in the play’s big
moments when he could let himself go, particularly
in “I could deny it if I liked, I could deny anything
if I liked,” and the “Who has the right to cast the
first stone” speech, which sounded like a parody of
all Wilde’s attempts at “problem comedy.”

I have already given my greatest objection to
John Roberts’s Algernon, His exhausted manner,
carried over into his speech and combined with his
English accent, unfortunately resulted in making

every other syllable unintelligible—a problem that

affected other actors as well. But he had captured
the tone of Wilde’s comedy better than anyone else,
and was able to discuss cucumber sandwiches as a
matter of vital importance,
Roses, Hats and Paradoxes

Debby Goldberg made Cecily the “pink rose”
that Algernon called r, and radiated pastoral
naiveté, wit, and grace. It’s hard to go wrong with
a part like this one, and Debby never did.

‘Aided by splendid costuming and superlatively
good hats (though not by her ghostly make-up),
Lady Bracknell was able to sweep everything before
her when she came on stage. Barbara ‘Northrop
showed an excellent sense of comedy in this part, ©
and got a lot of fun out of her lines. One might
perhaps have wished for a little more gusto in
places, for instance, “Prism, where is that baby ?”,

| but in-general she was all that one could ask.

‘Canon Chasuble is the only real grotesque in the.
play, and William (Learned, though he could not
altogether avoid seeming out of key with the
others, usually managed to strike a nice balance
between high comedy and clowning in his perform-
ance. The two servants were well-contrasted; Lane

(Edwin Hartman), as one might expect of Alger-

non’s servant, was admirably polished and imper-.
turbable, while Howard Shambelan played Merri-
man as the kind of servant available in the country,
thus making it clear why Gwendolyn preferred to
live in town. I’d have liked this very funny per-
formance much better if it hadn’t gotten so much
attention when it had no tbasiness doing so.

It was rather sad to see so many good lines __

disturbing but terrifically effective story. The bustle
and atmosphere of summer at the beach is vividly
described. The description, carefree after the
initial foreboding felt by Mrs. Palmer, leads potent-
ly up to the twist, The twist is not dwelt upon,
proffered simply and quickly, thereby sustaining the
impact long after the reader has read the last line.

Another unusual story with a twist, no less
macabre in its implications, is Helen Fairbanks’
“First the Baby Died”. If it were just a baby, it
might tbe credible, but the use of the baby and the
eat (and the kitchen scene) contribute to the un-
healthy macabre effect. The story is extremely
short, and written with a vigor and lack of pre-
tension.

Lois Potter’s “The Snake in, the Garden” is
another story of youth, extremely youthful youth,
intoxicated with its new-found intellect and taking
ff%Self far too seriously. The characters are out of
focus and distressingly unhealthy... Each girl is
searching for something, unsure of her direction
and occasionally desperate. Lois’s style is, as al-
ways, inimitable. Her description and use of detail
is effective, and the tale, unfinished though it may
be, unfolds with clarity and rapidity.

“Foxlike in the Vine” ‘by-Noel:Clark is another
(and wonderfully successful) variation on the theme
of youth and age, or childhood and adulthood. The
description is clear and evocative, although we
almost lose .the characters for the scenes. The
total effect is haunting. The writer has, a painterly



) touch in her description, and a clarity and percep-

tion that give her story substance,

“Leary” by Alison’ Baker is remarkably poig-
nant. Leary, a blind beggar with “lots of things
to say to his violin’, is affected by an encounter
with a young boy, full of youth and eager to learn.
Leary is. unaccountably touched and he finds himself
“ ... thinking of the past and future, and uneasy
in his mind’. The portrait of the scene is: sharp,
one can almost feel the cold, and Leary’s effort to
keep his violin in tune with the weather is extra-
ordinarily moving. It is sensitive and done with
delicacy. I should like to commend its author.

diculous extreme even for comedy, and of course
some of the jokes had lost the tickle of impropriety
which had made them funny back in 1895. Buf
Wilde’s wit won occasional applause, and the big
scenes for the most part were well-received.

Most of ‘the food business didn’t come across
very well, Jack’s famous entrance’ in mourning was
not all it should have been (perhaps because one so
seldom sees mourning wear nowadays), but the
second act entrance of Algernon and the last act
reconciliation were wonderfully effective. After a
rather slow start, the play gathered momentum as
it_went along, and its hilarious conclusion, with
cats popping out of bags-and metaphorical trap
doors opening, was good enough to atone for the
other imperfections which honesty nes forced me
to chronicle above.
