FOUR UNITS OF REQUIRED READING OR MEASURE FOR MEASURE A Midsummer Night ' s Dream The Future is a wonderful force, and one oi universal interest. I never used to have such good thoughts in my onlli! Wailing to get into Bryn Maui- lias definitel) changed my personality. Kven so. I vvouldn I dare say such a thing to anyone hut you, Diary. People would make fun of me for being philosophical. Just wait! At Bryn Mawr a girl can he herself and lalk about really important things. They ' re supposed to he deep there. It ' s strange, because when I was a sub-freshman and saw the girls at May Day they didn ' t look dee]). I guess you can t. though, dancing in circles. Anyway, I ' m sure I ' d see it now. m observation has been sharpened so by all my experience with college boards. ou ' d certainly think they vvouldn t ruin your whole summer ' s tour by keeping the results from you. How can I be broadened by the two hours we have in the Louvre when the only thing I want to know about is the next four years? Oh Diary, they all said I had a good mind! If I don t get into Bryn Mawr, 111 die. I know I will! Ill just see Naples and die! Oh Diary, at last I got a letter from Miss Ward! She said she was glad to tell me I ' d been admitted to Bryn Mawr. and then she said to cable and say if I wanted to come! As if, after all that waiting I had any other intention! It is wonderful to be sure of one ' s life again! I shall major either in psychology or English or philosophy. I shall not be the kind of Bryn Mawr girl that people at dances are sarcastic about. 1 don ' t see how a college girl could possibly want to be sloppy — supposing some Haverford bovs were to see you! And Bonwits and Bests have your clothes problems all worked out for you. — intriguing date dresses and contrasting tweeds. I won ' t have my room all full of trite chintz, either. Mother and I have picked out some maple furniture which will look very distinctive, and I have some big liquor bottles for my mantle: they ' ll be unusual and give it a worldly kind of air. I don ' t know yet which is to be my hall. Merion is supposed to have more esprit de corps. luil Rock has running water in the rooms.

Bryn Mawr seems to give the individual so much chance for self-expression. There ' s the Parade Night song, for example. I ' m going to try to write one. And if they let me write the Freshman Show. I think I ' ll have a Parrot for the Animal. They could teach it the Greek cheer. I had my college uniforms sent home, instead of waiting till I got there to see them. They ' re dreadful! I suppose it ' s nice to have a class blazer, but I must say mine hasn ' t much shape, and my swimming suit looks just like a dead mouse — I know I couldn ' t float five minutes in it. But the gym suits look really very English, and if I don ' t make any teams — (I ' m going to try out for all of them I — at least it will be thrilling watching the games. They probably sing all those wonderful songs that are in the little hand book. I ' ve learned them already, so that they won ' t interfere with any of my homework. Imagine being part of the college you ' re cheer- ing for! And imagine cheerino; for a soal in Latin! Dear Diary, I ' m here and I ' m lost! None of my lovely things have come, and my room is a big bare echoing place, and everyone else ' s room is just as bad, and oh, it ' s dismal ! We sat at a great long table at lunch, and no one had anything to say. Why when there ' s a nice comfortable word like housemother do thev have to say warden? Tve never felt like such a nonentity in my life — when I think of how everyone used to look up to me in high school, I could just cry. ou can ' t tell what courses you want to take because you don ' t know, really; and you never heard of any of the people the other girls ask you if you know; and just in case you have any self-esteem left, they make you undress, and put you in a strip of white flannel which is worse than being naked, and ask if you ' re coming out and how much you smoke. Everything is so enormous and confusing. Of course the reception committee is there to help, but what can thev do for your soul? The upper classmen have come back and they ' re running around the hall screaming hello to each other — it isn ' t fair! B. and I sat in my room and tried to forget them by talking about the boys we know at home. B. is a sweet freshman who lives next door and doesn t have an accent that makes me feel ignorant. Miss Park said, With the first classes at nine o ' clock, the year of Bryn Mawr will begin. Bonum Annum. It was thrilling, like an oracle, or a good omen. College is going to be wonderful !
