Pope Discusses
Music In Times
Of Renaissance

A Musical Renaissance
~~ * Rises At Court
In Spain

Miss Isabel Pope delivered the
Class of 1902 lecture on Tuesday,
May 4 in the Music Room. In her
talk on the Music at the Court of
Charles V, Miss Pope spoke of the
flowering of music in Spain of the
‘Renaissance.

With recordings, the double oc-
tet and Mr. Goodale presenting ex-
amples of the music of the period,
Miss Pope told of the new impulse

given to this art under Charles and] P)

Isabel, a
There were two disparate ampetta

.| system to go into effect, however,



of this music, for Charles lived in|
‘Seniors

Burgundy until his accession to
the’ throne of Spain-in 1516. He.
brought with him at this time his
Flemish Chapel which from then

on provided the official music of,

the. court and enjoyed the result-
ing patronage of which Spanish
music was then deprived,

As Spanish music did not re-
ceive the intelligent support it re-
quired, its composers were forced
to publish abroad. Secular Span-
ish music, however, was enthusias-
tieally cultivated and increased the
importance of instrumental accom-
paniment. The favorite instrument
for this purpose was the vihuela,
which ,resembled a lute. The vi-
huela was used for recreating
classical traditions and was con-
sidered the succesosr of Orpheus
lute.

‘ Ghaamiiocistie of the Spanish
Renaissance music was a sudden
appreciation of the vitality and un-
preméditated beauty of folk forms
and a turning for new inspiration
to the “people’s” songs. Spanish
composers had assimilated the con-
trapuntal traditions of the Flem-
ish school but achieved their best
and most unusual results when
dealing with their own traditional
songs.

the “Balade con Gai Feros”, sung
by one of the last of the minstrels

Faculty Approves Honor System Plans
Board Of Trustees Decides. May 20th

A statement of the academic
honor. system, drawn up under the
joint efforts of student and faculty
committees and approved by 94%
of the student body in a vote by
ballot, was submitted to the fac-
ulty at a meeting on Wednesday
evening, April 28, and was ap-
proved. For the academic honor

it must be approved .by a second
faculty meeting in May, and sub-
sequently passed by the Board of
Trustees. of the College on May 20.

possible for the system to be in
effect for the examinations this
spring because of the necessity for
the Trustees approval on May 20.
However, if approved, it will be in
operation in the coming school
year 1954-565.

It is hoped that it will in that
event be possible for copies of the
Constitution to be made available
in the fall not only to Freshmen,
but to all four classes. At that
time it will also be possible to hold
meetings for answering any ques-
tions which students may have con-

Chapel Committee

By Lograsso On Dante’s Devotion

Common Room, May 11, 5 P.M.—
“Evidence of Dante’s Devotion to
Our Lady” was the subject of a
talk given by Miss Lograsso before
Chapel Committee. The lecture was
centered on the “Purgatorio” and
“Paradiso” of La divina commedia
but ._Miss. Lograsso began with
Dante’s references to the Virgin
Mary in his youthful work, La vita

« nuova.

‘The Virgin is the one ies sets
the whole Divine Comedy in action,
for it is she who appeals, indirect-
ly, to Beatrice, to descend from
heaven and rescue the poet from
the wood of sin, Dante also in-
cluded all the prayers to Mary that
are in the Litany in his poem. He

~~ always places them in the lovliest}

of atmospheric settings, and as an
example of this Miss Lograsso cit-

- ed the instance in the beautiful

One of the strongest evidences:
of Dante’s devotion to Mary is
shown in the role which he assigns
to her in the “Purgatorio.” On this
island-mountain the seven capital |
sins are expiated before the souls

plished by each soul enduring a
concentration in the particular sin
and by the presentation of exam-
ples of the sin and its opposite:

Ideally, this review should open
with an appropriate quote about
“highest ambition missing by 4
hair’s breadth”. The recent Col-
lege Theatre production of
“Twelftr Night”. was good, excep-
tionally so for this part of the)
rschool year, but an extra week of
rehearsal might have given it the
details which would have made ‘it
an excellent performance,

Anson Jordan was perfect as
Cesario, proud, well spoken, a very
“male”; whose
feminine nature was subtly reyeal-
ed in the pacifist speech and clos-
ed eyes of the dueling scene.. How-
ever, after the disclosure that Ce-
sario is actually a girl, there was
no change in.attitude to indicate
that Viola the tom-boy had chang-
ed anything but her clothes in or-
der to achieve her disguise.’

A bit more softness was evident
in Dina Bikerman’s portrayal of
Oliyi but she suffered, as did most
of the cast, from a preference to
declaim speeches rather than us-
ing any other tone of voice. This
leads to a lack of -variety and was |compe
unfortunate because Roberts Hall

and William Moss played it very
well though not excellently.

The part of the peacock-like
Malvolio was exploited to. its full-
est by John Hawkins whose con-
ceited strutting and feminine man-
‘nerisms were very funny. The
scene where he plans his future as
husband of Olivia and head of the
house was perfect. ~

Sir Toby Belch, played by Ed-
ward Pine, was true to his mame,
audibly and amusingly, However,
he was not equally convincing in
his other activities for example,
as a drunkard.

His companion, Sir Andrew
Aguecheek, ‘played by (Fritz Ren-
ken, was even less believable—so
weak and nebulous that his char-
acter, which should have been
weak, lacked interest completely.

In. contrast, Maria (Catherine
Rodgers) captured the center of
the stage with her mixture of dev-
ikment ahd down-to-earth reality.
A really excellent job.

Patricia Moran in the role of

competent, and graceful besides.

The Job

Problem

In order to give the students both an opportunity to
finance part of their college education and to gain working
experience, the college has opened certain campus jobs to the
students and has seen that off-campus jobs are made known
and assigned to them. However, these two purposes have of-
_ten come into conflict.’ Is the first responsibility of the col-
lege to see that the students who have the greatest need are
given preference i in jobs? If this is so, on what basis can this
need be determined? Or should the jobs be open to everyone,
and decided on a competitive or merely a first-come first-

served basis?

The College seems to have no clear-cut policy on this
question. In many cases, scholarship students are given pref-
erence. In other instances, such as baby-sitting, the need of
those wanting to work has not been considered. Certain hall
jobs that do not require particular ability or talent are often
decided on the basis of seniority or on the basis of the first

who was to sign up.

While it is easy to say that those who have the greatest
need should have priority, we feel that it is difficult for the

college always to determine and decide on such a basis. °

If

scholarship students are automatically given preference in
all jobs, they may be depriving students who may -have as
great a need as they. And it would seem highly impracticable.
to look into the individual circumstance before deciding every.
campus job and every Friday night baby-sit. In addition,
if all jobs were decided completely on the basis of need, those
who would like the experience of working but who do not
happen to have a need at the present may never get a chance

to work at all.

We feel that the answer to this dilemma is to sik more
campus jobs open to the students. Student waitresses i in the

pins the grounds could be ‘done by the ‘Auten

In short, we feel that as long as the demand for jobs is
greater than the supply, more opportunities for work should
he. mace ayalignte to the students. $s

Jarrell Satirizes
Writes ‘Picture

by Evelyn DeB 4 e 5G

-The Alfred ‘Knopf Publishing}:

Company recently sent us a paper-
bound copy of a new book, Pictures
From An Institution in the hope
that we would want to review it.
It is free, (to us) 277 pages long,
and is written by a Mr. Randall
Jarrell, a teacher at Bard College.
With the book, they supplied its
jacket, complete with favorable
comments by Louis Untermeyer,
Marianne Moore and Richard Bis-
sell.. We take them up on it here.

Pictures From an Institution, A
Comedy, is a set of portraits of a
group of men and women connect-
ed with a progressive college for
women. We have it on good auth-
ority that the college is Bard,
about which Mary McCarthy has

written The Groves of Academe.
| There is no plot, and only the ten-

uous thread of the theme of social
satire. to connect the sketches; all
the seven or eight persons dealt
with are allied in circumstance ‘by
residing at Benton College in the
capacity of teachers,’administrators
or visiting artists. Nothing hap-
pens in this book. We must suppose

that he is aiming at the simple sa-

tire of the group who inhabit the
campuses of most eastern colleges.
He is amazingly successful, and
his book is as funny as Mr. Unter-
meyer guaranteed it would be.

Description of Gertrude

The most huneitant hive in the
collection, is the character of Ger-
trude Johnson, a novelist, tempor-
arily teaching, around whom the
book can be said to revolve, if
it moves at. all. “She,” says Mr.
Jarrell would have “come from
Paradise and complained to God
that the apple wasn’t a Winesap
at all, but a great big pulpy Wash-
ington Delicious.

“Age could not wither nor custom
stale her infinite monotony; in
fact, neither Age nor. Custom
could do anything (as ‘they said,
their voices rising) with the Amer-
ican novelist Gertrude Johnson.”

Gertrude has come to Benton Col-
lege because she is between nov-
els. With her is her husband Sid-
ney. The description of their re-
lationship needs only her thought:
“I wish I made enough from my
writing so Sidney wouldn’t have to
work.” She soon finds in Benton,
and its President, Dwight Robbins,
her new novel.. In order to gather
material, she gives a dinner party,
to which most of the characters of

the comedy are invited: The Rob-

bins; the author who tells the
story in the first person, (to give
the book some shade of continu-
ity); his wife; a young girl who
is the friend of himself and his
wife, and Professor and Mrs. 'Whit-
taker. The only persons not _in-
cluded are the Rosenbaums, and.
Miss Batterson. Mr. Rosenbaum
is the musician in residence, Miss
Batterson an English teacher.
This is the only event of any
consequence that occurs in the
book. An Arts Night takes place,
which Gertrude, the author and his
wife attend tigether; Miss Batter-

The major’ portion of the com-
edy is given over to Mr. Jarrell’s
dissection of the people with whom
he deals. Mr. Robbins, the president
who sees in himself am analogy to
Jay Gatsby and tries hard to be a
boy wonder, is very comprehensive-
ly drawn, and with the wit that is
essential to this book. It is a very
good, superficial portrait of a man.
It is not lacking in sympathy but
it does lack dignity, and any tinge
of respect for the man as a human

The Rosenbaums are the: only
people whom Mr. Jarrell has im-

lack of such an understanding for
which he takes the rest of the cast
to task. They are German-Jewish

Chem. Open House
Features Research

The Bryn Mawr Chapter of Sig-
ma Xi and the Department of
Chemistry held an open house in
Park, on Tuesday, May 11. The
program included a business met-
ing, short lectures, and displays-in
ihe various laboratories.

First on the agenda was the ini-
tiation of the newly-elected mem-
bers to Sigma Xi, an honorary sci-
entists’ society. ‘hose admitted as
full members were Robert 1S. Da-
vidon and George Vaux; promoted
to full membership—Georgiana W.
Seovil and Frederick C: Strong;
chosen associate members—Mabel
M. Chen, Louise F. Hutchinson,
Marilyn R. Loeb,: and Dorothy C.

Selby.

A slate of ‘candidates was sub-
mitted and: voted upon. Mary S.
Gardiner was elected president;
John C. Oxtoby — vice-president;
and Edith H. Lanman—member at

large, for the next two years.

Members of the chemistry staff
gave short talks.

Dr. Frances Berliner spoke about
her work in organic chemistry per-
taining to the electron release of
the alkyl groups. These groups
have more~electron—releasing~ en-
ergy than the hydrogen ion, how-
ever within the groups there are
various inconsistencies with re-
spect to the electron releasing pow-
er. By observing aromatic com-
pounds substituted with ' alkyl
gioups, Mrs. Berliner hopes to find
an ‘explanation for this behavior.

‘|Miss Lanman is studying the oxi-

dation potential of Rhodium. She
has noticed many unusual proper-
ties of this element which is found
in the second triad of the periodic
table. Dr. Zimmerman, with the
heip of graduate students, is doing
photochemical work with the com-
pound, azobenzene, which has two
isomers. By. subjecting it to rays
he can transform the structure ayd
thereby study the mechanism by
which it changes.

Battle Between Friends

McCarthy, two months ago, was
important to the Republican party,
and was needed to sustain the only
issue they had, that being the issue
of communists in government. He
was condemned only when he be-
gan to attack Republicans instead
of Democrats. The battle today is
not really determining anything as
it is between the’ giant communist
hunters themselves, Mundt and
Dirksen versus their former ally.

These persons agree on the one
fundamental, that the most import-
ant job is to hunt subversives. This
hearing has brought out quite a lot
of dirty business, wire tapping be-
ing used freely, and the fact that
McCarthy is very likely ,in cahoots
with the _F.B.1, something that
Hoover has not dented.

No one wanted_this h al-
ly, and the end result is not like
to be decisive because of the con

tions of the hearing. Though Mc-
Carthy may lose his power, unless
he comes up with a big communist
fish in the next few months, ‘the
tenor of fééling im the United
States - which he groused will not
decrease.

The fundamental fact is that the
United States suffers from an ob-
session of fear, to which even the

turn their back on this communist

Shift of Public Opinion

“*

These hearings reflect the poli-
tical vacuum that exists today.
Liberals in America should adopt
a positive rather than the present
anemic, fear-ridden policy they
have been following, especially in
foreign affairs. In reality there is
really no opposition policy in for-
eign affairs. We do not know what
to do with ourselves. Any sugges-
iton of support of Red China or-
partition of Indo-China means po-
litical suicide.

It is not only the parties that
must do this changing, the change
must come from the basis of dem--
ocracy, the people.

_ Haverford, Penn
~ Dacifists’ Dositior

“The one thing that pacifists
have in common is that they are
rugged individualists,” said Paul
Seaver, of Haverford College, at
the Alliance Discussion Group’s
Talk on Pacificism. He was the
first of three pacifists, all college
students, who were guest panelists
at this discussion, and ‘represented
the non-registered pacifist position.
This is the pacifist who refuses to
register for the draft.

The other two, guests were Pauly
Lacey, of University of Pennsy]l-
vania, who represented the 1-0 po-
sition, or that of the pacifist who
registers for Army service, and

ian job in order to free someone to
fight, and Dave Potter, of Haver-
ford, who defended the 1-A-0 posi-
tion (one who registers, and when
draited, works alongside those who
are fighting, but does not carry a
gun oneself).

From the short talks that the
three gave, it was evident that pac-

Progressive College
Satirized By Jarrell

Continued from Page 2

It has however a serious fault,
which does not lie in its departure
from the traditional forms of
novel-length imaginative work.
The product of Mr. Jarrell’s work
hangs together remarkably _ well,
considering its form, and makes
intensely amusing reading. It is,

sentially unsatisfying. It tells us
just too much about its characters
for them to remain the sitting
ducks of satire, and too little for
. them~to assume the qualities of
humanity.

The portrait of Gertrude “John-
son is a case in point. We meet

repulsive woman whose comic val-
ue lies in the words Mr. Jarrell puts
into her mouth. jWhen she leaves
the book she falls just short of
having become a deeply moving,
truly painful and impressive fig-
ure, at war with the world for
not liking her enough, at war with
herself for the same reason. Her
relationship with her husband and
with society has been too fully de-
veloped for her to‘remain a figure
in a comedy, and she is a eee
shadow.
Clever Satire

Had Mr. Jarrell dared, he might
have written a book that had a
consistent-depth, glimpses of which
he sometimes gives us. But he did
not.. He seems to perceive the in-
ner personality with too clear a
vision to be able to watch for very
long, and hurries on to someone
else, only to find himself at the
same impasse.

Nevertheless, it is possible to
read Pictures From An Institution
with relish. Its satire on the life
of a certain type of college is sane-
ly pointed, and never misses its
mark. He has ‘a well-developed
sense of the ridiculous, a refresh-
ing, easy, prose style, and an ex-
cellent ear for characteristic
speech. His descriptive passages,

in oA deals with personal/

appearance,\are inspired by wicked

an ingratiating habit of making
side comments on life, culture, and
the progressive ideal. If it is a

disappointing- work of creative | im-|

_ Saeastion, it is still a fine co
—and- it_is this, after * that Mr.

ner, he believes, we have the one
veal opportunity to avoid compro-
mise, with war and what it stands
for.

Paul Lacey, who aaecasad the
“middle ground” of _ pacificism
chose the 1-A position because it
allows one to remove the causes for
war while protesting against it.
By saying “yes” to the country
once (in registering for the draft)
one can say “ng” to fighting, and,
retaining his fréedom, can work to
erase the poverty, prejudice, etc.,
which, he believes, are the cause
of war.

Speaking last on the pli, Dave
Potter raised-the-question of how
far is one to draw the line in reg-
‘stering a protest against the pre-
vailing society. The pacifist, he
said, can begin his protest with
being a 1-A-0, then 1-0, nonregis-
trant, then cease to pay his taxes,
since they go for war, and finally
withdraw from the universe.

Becaues he believes that the paci-
fist who is more “withdrawn” than
the 1-A-0 tends to shirk responsi-
bility when the country is in dan-
ger, he .advocated obedience to
one’s conscience first, by becoming
a pacifist, and then. obedience to
the country; as far as your con-
science will permit.

After the panelists spoke, there
was a discussion period, at
which arguments pro and con th

| pacifist positions were raised. It

was almost universally agreed that
war was’ not the answer to all
problems, and perhaps pacificism
deserves a try—or at least a hear-
ing, with sympathy.

Health in College
Discussed In N.Y.

A panel of six chief executives
of American colleges keynoted the
Fourth National-_Conference —on
Health in Colleges held May 5-8, in
New York. Galled to consider the
ways of improving the health of
college students, the conference
was sponsored by 46 national
health and educational organiza-
tions.

‘Of special interest to Bryn Maw:
is, that after having an all-physi
cian Council for 383 years, the
American College Health Associa-
tion elected Muriel Farr to the of-
fice of Vice-President.

“The President. Looks at the Col-

Harvard University; President
Sarah G. Blanding, Vassar Col-
lege; Chancellor Henry J. Heald,
New York University; President
William E. Stevenson, Oberlin Gol-
lege; and President Frederick : L.

Morrill acted as moderator of the
conference.

At the opening session Wednes-
day afternoon, Dr. Dana L. Farns-
worth, ‘medical director of Massa-

As regilarly as May Day, ‘the
second .weekend in May once again
announced the arrival of the long

Newly-equipped. with open top-

groveled through piles of rock and
spewed forth great exclamations in

Blood-KoolingPills
Kill Campus Panic
. by Sally Moore ’56

Here I sit, surrounded by Byron,
Shelley, Locke, the plays of Noel
Coward, and Boswell’s Life of, Sam-
uel: Johnson, just a few of the
books I have yet to read, and some-
body just told me that we only
have one week of classes left be-
tween us and exams. And I thought
of going away for the weekend!

Spring finals are especially tense
because of Comprehensives, and a
general air of hysteria spreads like
the Bubonic Plague. Best friends
snap at each other, and friendships
are permanently broken off until
next year.

There must be somewhere on
this earth, where so, many Utopias
have been created, a place where
students either have no exams or
else take them calmly. I should
like to see the day. when I do not
enter the fateful room “clutching
my pinafore,” and struggling to
breathe.

It is a known fact (I forgot the
statistics) that Hysteria Hurts
Grades. The more tense you are,
the worse you will do (are you
calmer now?). To Ensure Longer
Life and Better Grades, take -one
Karters Blood-Kooling pill before
each exam. Meanwhile, we: will
have to combat hysteria by our
selves, or go clutching through an-
other: two weeks. Keep cool, keep
calm, keep Cum Laude?

“We don’t want Freshman Week
to end on Monday, but hope all re-

though they are part of the Com-
mittee,” said Leslie Kaplan, chair-
man of Freshman Week next year.
Leslie said that the committee is
trying to cut down on the number
of required events, and will let the
Freshmen choose what they wish
.o attend.

There will be a few changes in
the new program in an attempt to

then an A.A. picnic in Applebee

R. Rupen Reveals
Pedagogic Status

What was the cause of student
ecstasy in the ten o’clock class of
comparative government on Mon-
day?. Mr. Robert Rupen’s reaction
to his newly acquired degree, of
course.

When class convened, students
who were interested in the fate of
his hurried trip to the University
of Washington last week, timidly
asked him if his exams were tough
and when he would know the out-
come. Their queries brought forth
a dramatic response, for he march-
ed to the blackboard and treated
the class to the first public show-
ing of his name and letters.

After filling one blackboard with
R. A. Rupen, Ph.D., he turned
around and,. beaming from ear to
ear, took a bow amid enthusiastic
applause..



Saturday, May 15, is the dead-
line for the M. Carey Thomas
Essay Award. Only seniors are
eligible to enter..the contest for
which the -twenty-five dollar
prize will be announced at Com-
mencement. ‘Any type of writ-
ing may be entered for the
award which was originally do-
nated by Miss Thomas. After
her death, her niece, Mrs. Milli-
cent McIntosh, President of
Barnard College and a Bryn
Mawr alumna, contributed the
fund for the prize.

free ice cream and the tennis tour-
nament is being changed to a soft-
ball game.

There will be the usual tours and
rounds of appointments, but the

‘Deans will not schedule any meet-

ings ‘during the Hall-Teas, so that ©
everyone will have that chance to
be together. Also, on the first
Thursday the Freshmen and their
parents will be guided around the
campus. The French orals just for
incoming Freshmen will be repeat-
ed, due to their great success.

The Dance on Saturday night
will be a regular one with some
changing partners dances, instead
of the square dance that was tried
this year. Leslie emphasized the
point that only Haverford students
and guests of the Freshmen will
be invited.

Meetings. of the present Fresh-
men-have.resulted in new plans for
next year. All the Hall Presidents
will write to the Freshmen in their
halls in addition to the usual letter
received over the summer. . The
S.A. op will be given more
stress, @lso as the outcome of these
meetings.

Freshman Week will be from
September 23 to.27. Members from
all three classes will be on the
Committee, and will arrive on Wed-
nesday night, September 22.



Within the next few days,
you will have a chance to voice
your gripes and offer construct-
ive suggestions too!

The Chapel Committee wants:
your opinion on Sunday evening
services and speakers, and on
proposed mid-week programs
on subjects dealing with partic-
ular aspects of religion, or the
‘relation of religion to other
areas of life,

The members of the Commit-
tee believe that it should be a
non-denominational, inter-faith
organization serving the -inter-
ests and needs of eligious
groups on campus,“in so far as
this is possible. The purpose
of the questionnaire which you
will be asked to fill out is to as-
certain in what lines this inter-
est runs, so that we may better
serve you in planning next
year’s program. Your sugges-
tions, your criticisms—your co-
operation—will help us to work
for you.

Thank you!

Dr. T. Benfy

Common Room, May 4—The “‘in-
ner light,” the most hotly disputed
term of Quakerism, was the sub-
ject of an address by Dr. Theodore
Benfy. Dr. Benfy, Professor of
Chemistry at Haverford, spoke at
a Chapel Committee meeting.

‘The term “inner light” began with
the spiritual conversion of George
Fox, an Englishman who, in the
period -around 1650, was searching
for a convincing religious faith and
was unable to find one, even with
the counsel of Oxford and Cam-
bridge theologians. As Fox gave
up this search in despair, one day
an inner voice said to him, “There
was one, even Christ Jesus, who
can speak to thy condition.” From
this experience grew the belief in
inner guidance which is the basis
of Quakerism.

In England today the term “in-
ward light”, is used to signify that
the guidance comes from within.
This is the same light which Jesus
had when he was alive, and which
His disciples realized was still
present within them after His
death. Jesus is God fully revealed



Z| for the first time, and the only one





Discusses “Inner Light”
Ih Meeting of the Chapel Committee

through whom the light has ever
shone completely.

During the life of Christ, said
Professor Benfy, the Pharisees
spent all their time trying to obey
the highest ethical standards pos-
sible. Many people still do that to-
day. Man is always worried about
his soul, but in a completely self-
centered way. Jesus felt that man
could not live on this high ethical
plane through his own efforts
alone. Only with God’s aid could
the heights be reached.

When Peter told Christ that he
would follow Him to His cruci-
fixion, Christ said that instead Pet-
er would deny Him. In this way
Jesus destroyed Peter’s self-confi-
dence, as He did not want Peter to
die in self-glory. Instead Peter was
to live humbly and discover the
true meaning of Christ.

A person who feels himself en-
gulfed by an evil world and who
struggles against it accomplishes
nothing, said Mr. Benfy. When he
realizes that the world is suffused
with love and works through the
world, then he will receive a rev-
elation, or inner light.

Lacrosse Varsity

Loses Ist Match =

Although the Yellow and White
Lacrosse eleven lost its first match
of the séason, 4-6, against Swarth-
more, May. 5,.at Bryn Mawr, Miss
‘Yeager’s team staged a comeack
the next day in a decisive 6-1 win .
over Beaver, also’on the home field.

In the Swarthmore game, Bryn
Mawr played an excellent first
half, scoring 4 goals to Swarth-
more’s 2. (But after the half-time
break, B.M.C.’s play fell apart
to such an extent that Swarth-
more was able to break through
our defense for 4 goals, while Bryn *
Mawr failed to drive a single shot
home to score.

By the next day, however, the
Bryn Mawrtyrs had. apparently

learned their Swarthmore lesson,....

as beautiful team play marked the
Bryn Mawr-Beaver game through-
out both halves. Coach Yeager
commented upon the excellent of-
fensive action of our defense—ac-
tion that enabled our attack to
vary its game.

The wings and center functioned
well as effective links between at-
tack and defense, while goalie Rob-
bie Borneman’s inspired play was
little short of brilliant. Misa Yea-
ger remarked that in this game a
good team proved to itself that it

was good, and that-it could stand __-

up with spirit and aggressiveness
throughout an entire game.

The final lacrosse game of the
season will be played against Penn,
May 13, 4:00 p.m., on the Bryn’
Mawr field.

At the ys suffered from the

poral of the only experienced
pitcher at the game, Ann Harris.
Captain Connie Alderson also men-
tioned the need for more team
practice, particularly in hitting—
Bryn Mawt made only 2 hits
throughout the entire game.

Playing, however, improved
against Penn. Alison Cragin was
excellent on the pitching mound,

ress in handling the bat, though
more practice is still to be desired
in this aspect of Bryn Mawr’s play.
