College News VOL. XXIV, No. 16 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA,; WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1938 Copyright TRUSTEES OF BRYN MAWR COLLEGE, 1938 PRICE 10 CENTS Original Harmonies And Variety Mark Hindemith Concert The Four Sonatas Presented Are Decreasingly Radical In Treatment FIRST TWO WORKS SHOW INTRICATE STRUCTURE Goodhart, February 23. � Those who went to hear" Paul Hindemith expecting to criticize him as an opinionated iconoclast, or perhaps hop; ing to find in his music a completely new musical idiom, were probably quite disappointed. True, if they left after half the concert, they might have gone away convinced that he was incomprehensible and lacking in beauty. The works, in order of play- ing, were successively less radical. Mr. Hindemith, assisted by Miss . Lydia Hoffmann-Behrendt at the piano, presented four sonatas: .The first for Viola d'Amour and piano, the second for piano alone, one for viola alone, and the last combining viola and piano. The first two works reared in the Bach-Beethoven-JPrahms tradition, off- ered the greatest difficulty to the average listener. Not only was their structure intricate, but they lacked both marked rhythmic pattern and distinct melodic line, so that there was little which the listening ear might follow. They seemed to pre- sent only a great mass of harmonic and rhythmic material interesting in its detail, rather than as a whole. This was net true of the third sonata, for solo viola, which con- tained distinct and traditional rhyth- mic balance, sharp differentiation of mood between the movements, and an almost romantic harmonic basis. The last work also, although more com- plex, could not be called radical in its conception. Throughout, more or less .strict sonata form was maintained. But there was considerable variation with- Contlnued on P�K� Four Haverford's Glee Club Gives Varied Concert Close Harmonizing of Quartet Heard in Sea Chanties Music Room, February 26.�The Haverford .College Glee Club pre- sented a widely varied program in its concert here. The greater range of tone and harmony possible with tenors and basses rather than with sopranos and altos was apparent in contrast with the voices usually heard at Bryn Mawr. Starting with a group of chiefly classical music the Glee Club ^ontinued with a cello soloist, negro spVituals, a violin soloist, a quartette sinwng sea chanties, and the final collejje song. In 'the first group Palestrina's O Bone Jesu was outstanding, as well as di Lasso's Echo Song. The Bach chorale Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring suffered from the lack of a virtuoso pianist and a concert piano, since as director Robert Bird, '38, said, it is written chiefly for the piano. Wil-_ liam Velte, '41, followed with three cello solos. The two spirituals were the amusing Animals a-Comin' and the less familiar Lord, I Want to Be More Lovin'. Herbert T. Darlington, '38, explaining that he had last performed it at an old ladies' home, played the Londonderry Ai^as a violin solo. The most applauded part of the program was the quartet which sang the sea chanties Eight Bells, Aus- tralia, and Rio Grande. For lack of time other songs in their repertoire were omitted to be sung later during an intermission at the dance which followed the concert in Wyndham. The choruses from Pinafore were sung with great enthusiasm and en- livened by the dramtic soloists. Since most collegiate songs have sentimen- tal value only, the All College Medicn was an unfortunate choice. The closing Haverford Harmony was sung with enough fervor to be an exception to this rule. This is the first time that Haverford has given, a concert for Bryn Mawr, but it may well have established a precedent. E. M. Mary Ann Blodgett Bodkins, '53, Tells Parable of Decline of Literature When the Flashlight Rejected Her Story She Knew End Was in View In a recent interview, Mrs. George Bodkins, '53 (formerly Mary Ann Blodgett) "disclosed a very touching incident which she felt had a great deal of moral significance for us to- day. She helped us in locating rele- vant data in an old trunk and asked that it be published with explanations of her own for the edification of the present student body. As an undergraduate, so Mrs. Bod- kins assured us, ^she wanted more than anything else to contribute a story to the Flashlight. Having heard much of the editorial board through gossip, rumor, hearsay and other reliable sources, she realized that her opus must be modern -and full of world-meaninglessness. So she docked her other work and wrote it over a period of gloomy nights and days. At the next meeting of the Flash- light board, the editor picked up Mary's story from the huge pile of material before her. Throwing back her wild black curls, she began to read in a full fluty voice: A young man leaned against the bar. Before him stood three empty Benedictine bottles. Another, half- full, he was finishing slowly. The room revolved, the barman's apron swung round and round, the wneel of eternity. "Ed," said the young man, "this Benedictine is making mountains in my head. Mountains of memory. It is like yellow Monongahela water, yel- low and thick. It is cascading rivu- lets of refuse down my memory mountains." "Ed/' he said, laying his hand flat on the *�ar, "I had a nurse in Genoa. She was dry, and mouldy, like the rotting leather cover of a Bible. Her long fingers closed around my arms like parrot's feet about their perch, lovingly. "Carine, queste bambine!" she whispered, puffing the putrid air of graves against my ear. I hated her. "Then the Italian sun grew strong in me. I felt my legs long shafts of strength moving a beautiful rhythm on the earth. And my mind grew strong with the dark hate for my nurse. "Darling," I whispered to myself. "Darling, it won't be long now." And I ran out to lean my ecstasy against the orange trees. "Tick, tock, tock, the little red, white and blue pills sidled down the glass, kissing air-bubbles as they went, in inanimate osculation. 'One of these and you will join the angels,' my mother had murmured, 'and do not put them up to your nose, my dear.' 1 took the glass to my nurse. 'Your lumbago medicine, Nanny.' "The nursery clock bulged seconds to be struck, forcing minutes into birth. I waited, counting them as the air pressed on my temples, reverb- erating pulse and clock. Tick, tock, tick, tock, the mouse ran up the clock. The clock struck one, the mouse ran done ... ." "Young man," said an expensive overcoat beside him, jutting hands that nervously buttoned gray suede gloves, "it is the mouse ran down, not done. I. cannot stand-inefficiency. Such sloppiness is responsible for all this discomfort." "Sir,",responded the young man, "what has a poet to do with efficiency?

Eleanor Bliss Discusses Laboratory Positions Small Salaries, Slow Promotion Are Chief Disadvantages Common Room, February 28.�Miss lileanor Bliss, speaking on Laboratory Work at a Vocational Tea, outlined the positions open to women in scien- tific fields. Miss Bliss is an alumna of Bryn Mawr of the class of 1921. She and Dr. Long, of Johns Hopkins, were the first to report on the use of sulfanilamjde in streptococcus in- fection. A woman going into scientific work faces three great difficulties, Miss Bliss stated. Good places are hard to get; the pay is frequently low and the chance of promotion far less than for a man. Many teaching jobs are :>pen to women, Miss Bliss said. Ca- reers in medicine, either in teaching, research or care of the sick, are pre- ferred by many, but are less avail- able to women. There are plenty of laboratory technician jobs, in which women do blood tests, routine chemical Analysis, or bacteriology. The pay for this work is low, unless secre- tarial training fits the girl to .be an assistant to a private doctor. Miss Bliss said that in industry as in other fields men are usually given preference, but she named several big companies such as duPont that have a few women on their technical staffs. The government Bureau of Standards employs many women, in secondary positions. The training needed depends on the job. . Technicians pick up their knowledge in the laboratory, except in bacteriology, where a special technique is necessary, beyond what is obtained in most college biology courses. For obtaining positions better than that of technician, a higher degree is a great help. Science as a profession is not well paid, Miss Bliss said in conclusion, but it offers certain great satisfac- tions. The laboratory worker has much more individual freedom in her work than the folder of any com- parable iob. Bryn Mawr Summer School Emphasizes Training of Leaders, Not Mass Education Orientation of Individual and Her Development as a Creative Member of Her Community is Most Important Aim At Present Time as at Founding STUDENTS RECRUITED FROM ENTIRE NATION Handcraft Club Organized A Handcraft Club has been organ- ized to meet weekly in Taylor Base- ment. Miss Joan Saffian, teacher atj the Haverford Community Center, will direct students in ,work with clay, leather and metals. Miss Hertha Kraus has recommended these classes to her sociology students and to the college at large. There will be opportunity to make a great variety of articles. Statuettes and bowls in clay, jewelry of silver, brass and copper, moccasins and purses in leather are among the things that can be made. ^ The Graduate 3J... for handcraft classes on alternate Thursday evenings. It is hoped that enough undergraduates will be inter- ested to engage Miss Saffian for the remaining Thursdays. Two dollars and the cost of materials will pay for six lessons, or four dollars if the stu- dent wishes to go every week. Ruth Inglis in Radnor can give, further information about the classes. . Common Room, February 2U.�Sev- enteen people met at an informal tea sponsored by-the Bryn Mawr League's Summer School Committee. Sylvia Wright, '38, Bertha Gojdstein, '38, and Martha Van Hoesen, '39, undergradu- ate members of the committee, spoke on the history of the Summer School, its purpose, and the position of attend- ing undergraduates. The object of the meeting was, they said, to create an informed group capable of answer* ing the questions ot�the campus at large when the Summer School drive began. v Although the Summer School has no formulated purpose, Bertha GolcPJ stein said, its present administrators adhere to the ideals of its founders. Miss Thomas envisaged the coopera- tion of college women and women workers as a great step towards in- ternational justice, and peace, and With that ideal the school was founded. Even if all the other women's colleges had established "similar institutions, as Miss Thomas hoped, the number of people benefited would have been relatively small. Therefore, her ob- jective was not mass education, but the training of leaders. The emphasis at that time was, as it .is now, on the orientation of the individual and on her development as a creative mem- ber of a community. The Summer School is administered by a committee of 12, chaired by a thirteenth member, who is Miss Park. Money for the school is collected en- tirely by a yearly drive, since there are no Summer School funds. The trustees of the College lend the cam- pus and the college name. The Y. W. C. A.'s of various cities send a few girls on scholarships, and the I. L. G. usually sends one. Vassar has already contributed about 700 dollars, Sylvia Wright said. Most of the nec- essary endowment must be raised by personal contributions. Two hundred dollars are needed to finance one girl. Unlike most schools of its kind, the Bryn Mawr Summer School recruits its students from the whole nation and the enrollment always includes three or four girls from foreign countries. Negro students have been admitted since 1926. The board tries to have enough girls with the same industrial background to insure a coordinated student body. They try also, Bertha Goldstein said, to take more than one from a given locality. A Summer School graduate is expected to take an active part in community life when she returns to her home, and she can do this more easily backed by some- one who knows for what she is work- ing- ___ r-^�j!�riculum is plastic; its key- 'noteis adaptability. English and eco- nomics are the basic subjects because they are of most practical interest to the students. Secondary subjects are history, science and hygiene, taught, Bertha Goldstein said, from a "func- tional" point of view. That is, the material is presented in a form most useful to a worker as a worker. Thus in a public speaking course, a union member develops her speech for use in a union meeting. All the speakers stressed the neces- sary difference between the usual aca- demic method of presenting material and that used by the Summer School teachers. Many of these are from pro- � ^uassive schools,- and -have also had � previous experience in workers' edu- Contlnueo on Page Four MISS HILDA W. SMITH ADDRESSES STUDENTS Common Room, February 28.�Miss Hilda W. Smith, former dean of Bryn Mawr College and former head of the Summer School, and at present spe- cialist in workers' education with th*-- W. P. A., described the sweep of new adult education which is going for- ward all over the country. In answer J to increasing demands from workers, teachers are supplied, so far as is possible, when and where they are wanted and must adjust the curricu- lum and teaching methods to the needs of groups with specialized problems. Adults seeking education know what they want to learn, said Miss Smith. They have a specific prob- lem which they are interested in studying, and always aim to trans- late the material taught them into action. If constructive answers to their questions are not forthcoming, they quickly become disinterested and discouraged. The teacher has the difficult task of accomodating individ- ual needs, maintaining a practical curriculum with up to date material, and giving a solid, generalized back- ground. The Bryn Mawr Summer./School from the beginning has concentrated on careful analysis of methods and aims of teaching. Its teachers, Miss Smith emphasized, with the coopera- tion of the students, have built up a curriculum and supplied suitable ma- terial in pamphlets and books. This foundation work has been the model for national expansion of workers' education. It has made possible the development of a dynamic, construc- tive movement from a mass of pre- viously inarticulate desires. "Workers' education," said Misd Smith, "is the whole field of 'social sciences, but this does not mean that only economics is taught." The sub- jects covered are as varied as the in- terests and occupations of the work- ers. The teaching must be intimately linked with all particular develop- ments in local politics, new housing regulations, unionization, social se- curity, and agricultural innovations, as well as the ordinary, problems-of every worker as a consumer, because all these forces affect the workers' daily lives. "Once aware of the effect, the workers want to know more, to be able to do more." The most fundamental knowledge sought is the ability to read and write.

Rules for Major Work Music Room, Thursday, Feb- ruary i.�Miss Ward spoke in chapel to remind students of the rules for major work which are as follows: Every student working for a Bachelor of Arts degree is ex- pected to maintain a standard of 70 or above in the courses in her major subject. A student will, not be per- mitted to offer as a major a subject in which she has re- ceived the grade of Condition or Failure except in special cases where a recommendation in her favor has been made by the department concerned and accepted by the Senate of the College. If a student has received a grade between 60 and 70 in any course in the first two years of major work which is not coun- terbajbinced by a grade of 80 or above in an equivalent amount of work in her major subject, she may be directed to choose another major subject or she may be excluded from Col- lege.
