Bryn Mawr Ranked The Top Women’s College In US.
In “Authoritative Rating” Compiled By Chicago Tribune

Bryn Mawr placed first among |
women’s colleges in .the..Chicago
Tribune’s survey of “The Greatest
Schools in the Nation” made public
April 21 in that paper.

The Tribune reported that an
‘authoritative rating” had not been
made in more than 20 years and
that it had undertaken this recené
study “because of the unprecedent-
ed public interest in higher educa-
tion and the public’s concern about
the future of education in this
country.” The paper has promised
subsequent articles to “show why
these institutions are great, what
some of their shortcomings are, and
what less distinguished universi-
ties could do to improve their
standards.”

The Tribune plans follow-up ar-
ticles to explain the “combination
of methods” used to ascertain the
10 best universities, the 10 best
co-ed liberal arts colleges, and the
10 best men’s and 10 best women’s
colleges.

The author, Chesly Manly, a
reporter and analyst, visited the
10 universities and three leading
colleges traveling more than 7,000
miles by airplane and car. More
than 50 university and college pres-
idents, faculty deans, scholars,

scientists, and administrative of-

figers .were interviewed: ‘These and

more unidentified consultants were
“asked to rate the top universities
and the top 10 colleges in each
category, so far as possible in
their order of excellence, They did
this, thoughtfully, (the Saper add-
ed) despite some misgivings about
the (feasibility of rating educa-
tional institutions.”

The ratings were derived Seti
the synthesis of the individual
evaluations and in addition from
a “mass of objective data compar-
ing various achievements and dis-
tinctions of the universities and
colleges (that) was assembled and
studied (and which will be sum-
marized in the forthcoming series).
This material strongly supports the
subjective evaluations of the aca-
demicians. It was used to-determine
the order of rating when there was
no clearly defined concensus.’

Included among the 33 consulted
educators were Dean Marshall,
Gilbert F. White, ex-president of
Haverford and Archibald MaclIn-
tosh, acting president of Haver-
ford.

Also rated in the top 10 in the
women’s college category “in order
of their eminence” were Radcliffe,



Photos in Library Display African Life
As NSA Continues Segregation Plea

by Pattie Pelton

Although no answer has been re-
ceived from the National Student
Association .concerning the effect
of our petition protesting the gov-
ernment of the Union of South
Africa’s Apartheid (strict segrega-
tion of races) policy, the Alliance
is presenting a follow-up program
of 170 11x14 photographs (plus ex-
planatory notes) of the natives of
South Africa. This excellent éx-
hibit is in the North Wing. of the
Library on the second floor. The
pictures ‘were photographed by
Freda and Leon /Levson who live in
South Africa and were brought to
this country by the Thomas Edwin
Quisenberries .,of Evanston, _Illi-
ire (grandparents of Pattie Pel-

, 60), who spent six weeks in
pre: in 1954,
A background of thie situation

- may make these photographs even
more interesting and meaningful. |is

The Statesman and Nation, of Feb-
ruary 23, 1957, said that the theory
of the Nationalists’ Apartheid pol-
icy was “to establish separate and
parallel communities of Europeans
-and--non-Europeans”,~ but was, in

.



fact, an attempt at “white suprem-
acy im its purest form: stripped of
all political and civil rights, the
African will be reduced to a vast
lumpenproletariat to be moved at
will according to the demands of
the white economy.” _The depriva-
tion of education which we pro-
tested was one of the ways of
achieving this white supremacy.

The African natives are not
“Hollywood savages”, but are a
people striving for amelioration.
[he tribal and family traditions
which are restrained are kept for
reasons of unity. There is often
confliet between the heritage and
the influence of western dress,
habits and industrialization. The
exhibit in the Library shows well
the importance of western civili-
zation of the natives. They are
eager to better themselves and
will not be kept down. Education
st necessary if they are to
act wisely.

Do take the earliest opportunity
to see these unusual and informa-
tive pictures in the Library. They
make the situation, the problem,

rand the solution—more ‘evident.

Famous Poet
Is To Revisit
B. M. College

Miss Moore To Give
Poetry Reading
Tuesday

Marianne-Moore will be at Bryn
Mawr, Tuesday, May 14. She will
read a selection of her own poems, -
and give some personal commen-
tary on them, at 4 o’clock that
afternoon, in the Deanery: Miss
Moore’s reading will be open to
members of the college. :

Bryn, Mawr is “fortunate enough
to be able to bring a contemporary
poet here,” said Miss Stapleton,
chairman of the English Depart-
ment, “through the generosity of
Mrs. Edmund Purves,” who has
given the college a grant, to, be
used for that purpose. [It is giv-
en in memory of Mrs, Purves’
brother, Professor Theodore Spen-
cer, critic and poet, formerly at
Harvard University,

Miss Moore is acknowledged by
common consent to be one of the
greatest living American poets.
She graduated from Bryn Mawr in
1909, then taught at the U. S. In-
dian School in Carlisle, Pennsyl-
vania. She next went to the New
York Public Library, and then was
with T. Dial magazine, of which
she ditor for several
years: *




Her writing career is most re-
cently represented by her’ Collect-
ed Poems, her translation of The
Fables of La Fontaine, and Like a
Bulwark, (published this year). All
of the major American poetry
prizes have been awarded Miss
Moore, including, in one year, the
Bollingen Award, the National
Book Award, and the Pulitzer
Prize.



Arnheim Stresses Integration Of Both
Intellectual Thought, Intuitive Reaction

Rudolph Arnheim, Professor of
Psychology at Sarah Lawrence
College, delivered a lecture entitled
“The Artist and the Curse of the
Toad” on Monday evening in
Goodhart Auditorium. He began
by stating that his title was in-
spired by a fable*about a toad and
a centipede, The toad cast admir-
ing glances at a centipede coordin-
ating the movements of his legs
into a graceful dance. When the
centipede stopped dancing, the toad
asked him what system of num-
bers he used to direct his legs, ex-
plaining that he (the toad) could
only think and count was but un-
able to dance. When the centipede
endeavored to think of an answer
to this query he was paralyzed for
the rest of his life—thus. illustrat-
ing the danger of..purely.intellec-
tual control. &

By means of this fable Professor
Arnheim illustrated his conception
of the two separate processes
which govern behavior: intellectu-
alizing and acting on _ intuition.
The intuitive centipede was acting
in accordance with subconscious
“pushes and pulls” emanating au-
tomatically fro mhis nervous sys-
tem. The result was a smooth,
unified pattern or Gestalt. How-
ever the intellectual toad endeav-
ored unsuccessfully to find. an ex-
planation of the centipede’s move-



ments by rationalizing them into
numerous separate processes with-
out considering experience or in-
tution. This is the curse of the
toad. :

Professor Arnheim then applied
these two processes to man, ex-
plaining that he was capable of
both because of the evolution of
his brain. He first described the
painting of an artist inspired only
by intuition as a field filled with
form and color dynamically inter-
related into well-balanced compo-
sition.

However, in time certain. prin-
ciples such as those concerning the
Golden Mean or perspective were
devised. After commenting on this
change from an intuitive to an in-
tellectual approach to art, Profes-
sor-Arnheim posed ‘the “key ques-
tion: “Is intellect or rationalization
(the curse of the toad) a danger to
intuition?” At first he seemed to
answer in the affirmative by ob-
serving that reason causes art to
lack in spontaneity and inspiration.

Professor Arnheim postulated
that intellect is most beneficial
when used to confirm and codify

that which intuition assumes. How-
ever, this assimilation of intel-
lect and intuition is only success-
ful when the individual is ade-
quately ripened by experience.

Required And Defined

Now that May Day has come and gone for another year,
we feel] that it is time for some clarification of: the system of
“required and fined” song meetings. This question was and

is still being

discussed by Undergrad, but no definite solution

to the problem has been found. Apparently a temporary
arrangement was made this year in an attempt to mitigate
some of the evils of the “required and fined” system by ex-
. eusing ‘those individuals who had no intention of participat-
ing in May Day from attendance of the song meetings. . It
was felt that those students who did not want to take part
n the program should not have to attend song meetings un-
der threat of a fine and so they ‘were excused from both.
Those who wished to participate’in May Day, on the other

hand, were required to attend
if they did not do so.

the meetings and were fined

Although this was only a temporary arrangement, until
some more equitable system could be worked out in the fu-
ture, it instituted the paradox of fining those who expressed
mterest in May Day if that interest flagged once, while those

who were indifferent were left alone.

Unfortunately, it is

impossible to secure enough students to warrant having a
meeting or rehearsal unless there is some form of persuasion
or pressure which can show the student that her best inter-
ests lie in attending the meeting. i

We feel that no student should be forced to participate
in May Day if she has no desire to do so. That is apparently

the way the Undergrad board

felt but they failed to make

this position clear. Students should have been-made aware

that they were not absolutely

required to take part in May

Day and that those who did not intend to participate would
not be fined. Whatever policy Undergrad will follow in the

future must be stated publicly

and definitely, and adhered to

consistently so that the student will understand her obliga-

tion towards college tradition.

Political Workshop
Was Seen by Four

by Gail Beckman —

On May Day, Gail. Beckman,
Renny Darden, Judy Minkin, Pattie
Pelton and Lucy Wales attended a
political workshop in Philadelphia
Politics at St. Joseph’s College.
They were first briefed on the
political scene in the state of Penn-
sylvania and shown diagrams of the
districts which had gone Republi-
can or Democratic in recent elec-
tions. :

After supper, they heard the Re-
publican and Democratic Candi-
dates for District Attorney of
Philadelphia speak about their con-
ception of the office and their own
views on the issue of wire tapping.

An interesting undercurrrent was
provided by the fact that the
Democratic Candidate for District
Attorney, Mr. Blank, has not been
on speaking terms with the Mayor
of Philadelphia. since January 1.

*|He impressed the delegates as a

“slick politician.” The Republican
posed as the “fair-haired boy.”
The workshop was a very success-
ful beginning of ‘the renewed AHli-
ance emphasis on getting “off-
campus.”

Not in a spirit of resistence or
rebellion but with true Feminine
Intellectual interest we dedicate
the following to a group of psy-
chologists who have recently com-

pleted “The Vassar: Survey” on
“Personality Development During
the College Years.” Perhaps our
competitive, aggressive instinct,
determined that we should not be
outdone, is the basis of this “The
Bryn Mawr Survey“ on “ Is There
Personality During the College
Years?” If the results seem a little
unusual it may be well to recall
that this is Bryn Mawr and...
well, we are (as the Chicago Tri-
bune says) different ...

The first question asked of all
classes alike, received significant
answer, To the query: “Are you
autonomous?” seniors emitted a
vigorous, resonant “anassa-kata.”
Freshmen only consulted their dict-
ionaries but one who attempted to
answer “ipso facto” was immedi-
ately suppressed by a sophomore
on suspicion of~Conformity.

“Seniors,” says the Vassar sur-
vey, “are more educated and
mature, less feminine and stable.
They are a half-way point on the
road to being that kind of auto-
nomous. person. which a liberal edu-
cation strives to produce.” It seems
that at Vassar those who attain
the senior status have had their
feminine instincts crushed by dom-
inant intellectualism. They are less
Conventional, less Passive and
more apt to be neurotic. On the
home front, however, the. only dif-
ference which appeared among
members of the’ classes ‘was that
seniors were definitely able to wind

Medias Res

“Do you look forward to the
afterlife?” Seniors, again, are sup-
posed to have a definite anticipa-
tion of the “afterlife” and yet, on
this campus it is very hard to
find people who even believe in the
after-life, in any after-life or even
in anything after.

The search for “evidence that
education is taking place” was
quite hastily dropped, as it was
felt that the nature of the revela-
tion was entirely too confidential
for publication, but a large group
of sophomores were’ asked, “Was
the choice of your major a function
of deep subconscious motivational
forces?” The first person question-
ed_ replied in Greek hexameter,
quite obviously a defense mechan-
ism, and was accordingly considered
subconsciously. affected.

Next the sign-out books were
collected and tabulated on a chart,
and.certain persons who gave evi-
dence of frequent escapism ‘were
asked, “Is your interest in men a
defense against intellectual devel-
opment?” but the first person
questioned merely gasped, “Hurry,
Hurry, this is a study date?” and
peering through her thick glasses
at her interviewer began a dis-
course on the Symposium and
Platonic Love. .

As. a final gesture students were
rated in decreasing order as to:
Delinquency, Dominance, Status,
Social Participation and Femin-
inity—most people fit all categories,
leading to the conclusion that there
must be some split personalities at
large in our social structure. In
view of this we retire in terror}

Journal” which carries a condensed
version of the Vassar Survey on

Our Scientific Demonstrations Improve

When Physics Lab

By Sue Harris

Television, that instrument of
the devil which stimulates apathy
and consumes valuable time, is
being used for educational pur-
poses only a short distance from
Taylor. The Physics Department,
under the combined guidance of
Mr. Walter Michels, Mr. John
Pruett and Miss Rosalie Hoyt, has
introduced a large gleaming 21-
inch TV set into the first year
physics course, This is not all. With
the help of a “TV Eye” and several
strong lamps, the professor can
produce right before an amazed
student’s eye a television show of
his own. :

The closed-circuit television cam-
era and control box were purchased
under the regular market price and
were installed two years ago. The
TV set, placed in a corner of the
physics lab, can be easily viewed
by any student in the room. With
little effort the “TV Eye” can be
moved about the lab, and in this
fashion, small, intricate demonstra-
tions may be set up and clearly
seen by the students.

There are many advantages to
this educational “tool,” as Mr.
Michels labeled it; Students are
now able to view demonstrations,
which, under ordinary lab condi-
tions, would be difficult to present.
Tiny, complex objects, when pro-
jected on the TV screen, appear

-several..times-—largér than. their

usual size; small print. can be read
off the screen, and the delicate
workings of a stop watch may be
closely observed. . :

In addition, Mr. Michels and Mr.
Pruett admitted, when questioned,
the the presence of a TV-set and
camera in the classroom seems to
have a psychological stimulus on
the students. Aside from ‘assuring
a greater facility in presenting
demonstrations, the closed-circuit

television has added glamour to.

physics as well as creating interest
in a larger variety of demonstra-



tions. ;

Turns On TV Set

The number of schools and col-
leges investing in television as an
educational “tool” is increasing
steadily. Cornell, the first univer-
sity to use television succeséfully in
a science lab, found it to be the
only ariswer to the pressing prob-
lem of too few professors and too
many students. By placing six re-
ceivers around a lecture hall seat-
ing 300-400 students, each individu-
al was able to observe the demon-
station more easily and with great-
er clarity.

Danger of TV Concentration

However, as the three Bryn
Mawr professors emphasized, there
is a danger in concentrating too
heavily on the medium of television
for educational purposes. The in-

‘valuable “rapport” between a stu-

dent and a professor can be lost
when lectures are delivered from
a television set. The opportunity
to question the professor on differ-
ent points disappears. Education
would become impersonal, as the
personalities of the student and
the professor vanish behind the
glass of a TV screen. When used
wisely, television, like movies, can
bring the complexities of science
into clearer focus for the student.

Interfaith Assn’s
Chapel Services

To Be Modified

by Giselle DeNie and Connie Brown
Interfaith Association

The Interfaith Association Board
has approved a plan for the Sunday
evening Chapel services next year
which, it is hoped, will meet some
of the objections to the service
prevalent on campus at the pres-
ent time.

The main criticism seems to be
that the service in attempting to
offend no one, satisfies only a min-
ority of the students; that, while
professing to be non-denomination-

revealed in the after-dinner dis-
cussions in the halls during elec-
tion campaigning) can be divided
as follows: 1) the service should
conform more to the faith of the
speakers; 2) the service should be
abolished completely and a lecture
substituted; 3) the service should
remain as it is,
Proposals Considered

The Board discussed all three
proposals. It was pointed up with
regard to the first that the present
service is already a close enough
approximation to the worship-
form of most Protestant denomin-
ations, whereas any attempt to
introduce ritualized worship from
non-Protestant services would nec-
essarily be so diluted as to be
meaningless:'The~ service is nvt

students- about different forms
of. worship. If they are sufficient-
ly interested, they are free to at-
tend the different churches and
synagogues in the neighborhood.

The people who wish the service
to be abolished make the point that
the same speakers might draw
larger audiences if they were to
deliver lectures or lead discussions
instead of giving sermons in the
services, They feel that it is a
pity not tg,utilize both the abili-
ties of the men that come here and
the considerable sums that go into
their honorariums for the benefit
of a larger segment of the college
population. .A primary function of
the Interfaith Association is, how-
ever, to provide an opportunity for
common worship. The attendance
at the services may be limited, but
the fact that it has been steadily
increasing over the past five years
indicates that there are a number
of students who want the service
retained. An attempt will be made
next year to have more lectures of
a purely informative nature in the
mid-week programs where they be-
long.
It was decided finally that we
would keep the present service
when ministers of Protestant de-
nominations come to speak. When
religious leaders of non-Protestant
belief are invited, the service will
be changed. A 10-minute period
of silent meditation will follow
organ-music and an anthem sung
by the choir. The speaker will then
talk on a topic about which he feels
strongly, and which may or may
not be of controversial import. The
emphasis would be on his commun-
icating to us somethnig of his per-
sonal belief . His talk will be fol-
lowed by another short period of
meditation and organ music after
which a discussion period will be
held in the Common Room.

One of the advantages of this
mnovation is that it will open the
way to having a wider range of
speakers. ‘Lay religious leaders
and perhaps Catholic priests might
be able to come. It has been sug-
gested, as a start, that we have a

‘Buddhist speak on “The Value _of

Meditation in the Modern World.”
The lists for suggested speakers
and topics will soon be posted in
Taylor and in the halls. The Inter-
faith Association Board would like
your ideas with this innovation in
mind. 4 are

Visit To Mission
By Sixteen Girls

On last Thursday evening, May
2, the Interfaith Association spon-
sored a trip to Father Divine’s
Circle Mission and Church, in
downtown Philadelphia. A» group
of sixteen students was accompan-
ied by an employee of the Deanery
and follower/of Father Divine.
After a br ef tour of the low-cost
dining room, dress shops, and adult
education classrooms which are
maintained. by the mission, the
girls joined thirty-some followers
at an elaborately and attractively
set banquet table—“Father Divine’s
Holy Communion Banquet Table”
—and received with them an enorm-
ous meal. Six such banquets are
served at the Mission every eve-
ning, at intervals of about an hour.

Although Father Divine was un-
able to be present, his wife, Mother

Divine, spoke to the congregation
on the all pervading spirit of
Father Divine.

The sect studies the Old and New
Testaments, believing Father
Divine to be the present, fleshly
form both of the God who gave
the Tablets of the Law to Moses
and of Jesus Christ, who is fulfill-
ing through Father Divine his
promise of a second coming and
the establishment of the heavenly
kingdom on earth. True followers
neither drink, smoke, swear,
gamble, or accept tips and gifts;
they follow a code of scrupulous
honesty and extreme modesty, and
forswear contacts with the oppo-
site sex, receiving in return a prom-
ise of eternal life.

Big Six Structure
Is To Be Studied

The Undergrad Council has an-
nounced the formation of a Re-
evaluation Committee to study the
Big 6 structure and college organ-
izations in general.

Although the committee will be
organized this spring, its actual
work will. take place in the fall.
Its function is not necessarily to
propose a (plan for re-onganiaztion,
but to determine if any reongani-
zation or revision is needed, and
if so, to what extent.
~ All persons interested in work-
ing on the Re-evaluation Commit-
tee may contact their class presi-
dent or Dodie Stimpson or sign up
on a list in Taylor immediately.

| Using this list as a guide, each

class will, elect “two™ Commitee:
members, and the Undergrad Coan: \,

cil will appoint a committee chair-
man.

Revue To Conduct

wh





Survey On China

A China Importing Company will
conduct a design survey here Wed-
nesday, May 15 under the sponsor-
ship of the Bryn Mawr-Hayerford
Revue.

According to the terms of the
agreement, the Revue will recruit a
minimum of 100 students for five
minute interviews with staff per-
sonnel. The appointments will run
from 9 a.m, to 5 p.m. that day.

‘ During the course of the survey,
the girls will be shown 50 to 60
new themes in bone *china d
earthenware designs. The compan
believes “this opportunity to pre-
view proposed pattern styles will
prove of educational value to the
participants as well as allowing
them to have a part in determining
the type of patterns to be produced
in the future.”

The company states their practice
of not publicizing the name of any
college or individual assisting in

the survey; they do not wish to]

solicit orders since the “design
research program is entirely in the
field of taste determination.” Also
their firm name is not to be publi-
cized.

This is the second year that the
survey has been conducted at Bryn
Mavwr. .

Methods of presentation and sub-
ject matter for history of geology
courses were topics of discussion
at a conference of the Association
of Geology Teachers at Princeton
April 19-20, according to Lincoln
Dryden who.~ represented Bryn

Mawr.

Most of the discussions at the
conference dealt with: t inade-
quate texts used for history of
geology. Mr. Dryden hopeg) that
sometime in the future a new and
better text will be available for
students here; The book he has in
mind is still in the process of being
written by Bernard Kummel of
Harvard.

Mr. Dryden mentioned that the
geology course at Lafayette arous-
ed a great deal of interest. Instead



of regular lab periods, the students
work individually on a few projects
during the course of the year. An-
other interesting sidelight was the
collection of slides which were
available for believers in “visual
education.”
