BMC Deemphasizes- Former a M ember

Importance of Marks

by Ellen Rothenberg
One of the most striking features
of Bryn Mavr is the general at-
titude of the student body toward
grades. Most freshmen comefrom
an atmosphere where a student’s
chances of gaining college entrance

are measured by his grades. Here.

high grades do gauge a student’s
standing in relation to others, but
standing itself is deemphasized in
importance,

Instead of centering on. grades
themselves, pressure centers on
the work. While the ‘marking

‘system attempts to evaluate the

amount of éffort a student puts into
a course, the real evaluation pro-.

-ceeds from the student herself.’

The aim of the courses is to

give the students as much know- -
ledge as possible’ and to suggest

the means for adding toit, Whether
learning involves following the way
indicated’ by the instructor or

branching out from or carrying on

beyond it is left to the individual.
Therefore, to a large degree, éach

student decides when.she is-satis- ~
fied with her work in each subject.

For this reason, freshmen soon
discover that comparison of the
grades of two students ts com-
paratively rare, and that pro-
fessors are more concerned with
improving* the students’ under-
standing of their subject,

“Oh, don’t mind them bars.
We’re used to ’em,
"C'mon, Sue, get in line.
They’re gonna start now,”

Squeals, music, clapping drown- «

‘ed out our awareness of the bars,
too, as we concentrated on learn-
ing and teaching the dances - from

simple reels to the mazurka,
‘Hey, @ean’s goin’ the wrong

**No she ain’t. She’ s picttiid

‘*Ha!l Ha, hal Teacher's er

“Why are ya’ll so skinny tea-

At that point the matron an-

and. once again a line formed,

‘*That was fun, but J’m hot.

“We make all our own clothes here,

“Thank you ladies, I’m sure
the girls enjoyed the dancing. It
isn’t often they: get to talk to

This is but. one of the many.
