DEFENSE COURSES two bags of sand, six buckets of water, a stirrup pump, a fire extinguisher, and a chair to ward off sparks. These were not all available, but armed with the pumps, candidates inched toward the blaze on their stomachs, one from each side. Boldly they aimed their sprays, and extinguished each other. Courses on office techniques, involving the use of comptometers, mimeographs, and that vicious Medusa, the college switchboard, rounded out this year ' s program.

The complete success of the course and the omniscience of Bryn Mawr undergraduates was attested, weekly, by the total silence which followed each lecturer ' s concluding statement: And on these more technical points, are there any questions? . . . Most brilliant, however, was the overnight stand devoted to instruction in fire-fighting. Around a biasing pyre (just a plain destructive fire, no chemicals) on the hockey field the brave smoke-eaters learned that they should be loaded like dromedaries before approaching a blaze — their equipment consisting of Blue Signal MARGARET LOUISE LEWIS
