Last Vlinute J News Masl asnes 1956- 937 Return of senior class with cries of We ' re guinea pigs, that s what we are, guinea pigs! to a campus apparently holding little promise and much threat . . . lethargic attitude soon dispelled by pre-election flurry stimulated by the News questionnaire (which fared almost as well as the Literary Digest Poll) and bv the political meeting in the Gym . . . culmination of all hysteria in election night mass meeting complete with band, torchlight parade and effigies. . . . Interest in international affairs spurred on by Mr. Fenwick ' s appointment as delegate to the Inter-American Conference for the Maintenance of Peace. . . . James G. Mac- Donald s lecture in the Deanery, throwing everyone in a swivet over the imminence of war. . . . Mrs. Barbara Wootton explaining Social Trends in Contemporary England. The Shan-Kar Ballet, Andres Segovia ' s guitar recital, the Myra Hess concert and Cornelia Otis Skinner s performance, headliners on the entertainment front. . . . Varsity Players ' Holi- day; the Glee Club ' s Mikado; the Latin play, 1 he Little Spook; the French Clubs Ecole des Maris; the fall and spring one-act plays - — all highly successful amusement. Regret for the retirements of Miss Georgi- anna Goddard King, Head of the Department of History of Art, and of Dr. Rufus Jones, President of the Board of Trustees, both of whose names have become inseparably con- nected with Bryn Mawr. ... A fitting successor to Dr. Jones found in Charles J. Rhoads, son ol the first President of the college. earlong excitement over the Spanish war, provoking hitherto unsuspected communist or fascist tendencies . . . the radios blaring forth all the rumors and conjectures about the abdi- cation and then, at last, the event itself . . . the Ohio flood, brought close to home by those whose families were in it. Innovations seen in: the series of eight lec- tures On the Nature of Man, an inter-depart- mental project suggested and carried out by Mr. Helson, Mr. McKinnon and Mr. W ' eiss . . . the new course in stagecraft given by Mr. Wyckoff . . . the Alumnae Weekend . . . the hazardous lessons in ski-ing and social danc- ing in the Gym . . . installation of the com- prehensive system in all departments. Most exciting news of the year: Miss Park s announcement on March 2 of the four-point program for disposition of the Fiftieth Anni- versary Fund . . . the erection of a new science building for geology and chemistry, begun this spring; a new wing of the Library for the Art and Archeology Departments; plans for a new dormitory and increased enrollment; the ap- pointment of Mrs. James Chadwick-Colli ns as Director-at-Large of the college. . . . The atti- tude that We have witnessed great events, seen among the undergraduates following the announcement. Little May Day for the last time, and its accompanying mathematical and scientific problems of: 1) how to divide three hoops among eight people, and 2) how to keep a hoop rolling on the greensward - or anywhere else, for that matter. The last Spring Vacation — turned into a frantic reading period . . . Professor-emeritus Kittredge s brilliant lecture on Shakespeare ' s Villains . . . the final March on Comprehensives . . . the aftermath and a general we-who-have- aheady-died-salute-you feeling rampant . . . June and the senior class listening blissfully to Dr. John Edgar Park and Dr. Abraham Flexner delivering the Baccalaureate and Commencement addresses.
