WAYNE AND BRYN MAWR, PA.,' WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1925
Price 10 Cents
The Class of Nineteen Twenty-Five
BRYN MAWR TUNES UP
SCALE FOR JUNE FIRST
$400,000 for Endowment in  Sight.
Chicago is First Over the Top
Followed by Othefs
\Order of Commencement
STOKOWSKI   MAKES   PLEA
With Commencement week qomes the
triumph of the drive for the Music De-
partment and the auditorium of the Stu-
dents' Building, $408,000 in sight by the
first of June. The climax was reached
when District 9, Chicago, went over the
top of itafquota, as the Undergraduates
had done on May 25. Chicago pledged
$33 840, instead of the mere quota of
$30,000. The undergraduate share of
$27,000 had been exceeded by $4711.
Now Districts 1, 4, 7, 10 and 11 have
come in with 100 per cent, quotas to
swell  the   fund.
Everv day� new responses . have come
flooding into- the *Bryn Mawr office.
District 3, the Philadelphia region,
jumped from $01,687 to $101,579 in one
day, May 99 to 30. Leopold Stokowski,
conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra,
made the following statement in sup-
port �of the drive:
"It would be a step backwards to give
up music at Bryn Mawr College, espe-
cially as it is under ^he leadership of
such a man as Alwyne. It is unthinkable
for so great a college as Bryn Mawr to
�tep backwards."
Now music will not go! Bryn Mawr
lias tuned up!

INNER LIFE MUST OBEY
LAWS SAYS FOSDICK
Lawless  Self-Expression   is  Mere
Cariacature of True Psychology
of Sublimated Instincts
FREEDOM RIDS US OF NO LAW
"If I were a scientist instead of a
preacher. I might speak to you tonight of
the natural physical laws of the universe,"
said Dr. Fosdick, delivering the Bacca-
laureate address in the "gymnasium on
Sunday evening.
"Instead." he continued. "I shall speak
to you of the natural inner laws.
"'Wide is the gate; broad is the way
that leads to destruction. Many are they
that enter therein.' This was not a stern
decree, but a simple statement of universal
law. The Master came to bring people
life. He saw that few people were get-
ting it.    This was His explanation.
"The lawlessness of American civiliza-
tion is appalling. Statistics show that no
other civilized nation approaches it in the
percentage of violent crime.
"Self-expression sums up our modern
attitude. This is fairly natural. Human
life comes in seasons. There are the win-
ter seasons when life congeals and freraes
into patterns. These are followed by the
springtime thaws, when customs again
become plastic, pliable, and fluid, until the
spring freshets tear down, and mud clogs
up all the roads. The Victorian era was
the winter. Now is the spring, the re-
lease: in music, jazz; in art, cubism.
