Good Luck!"It is with this issue of News that we, the re-

tiring staff members, give our duties to an alreadyactive group." Led by Nancy Wolfe, the new editorsand business staff will assume our places, carrying onthe weekly routine, but injecting into it new the-ories and methods of newspaper management andproduction.

As we have done during the past year, they willwork to improve the paper as a vital organ of col-lege life, and as a representative of the college be-yond the sphere of the campus. They are privilegedto present student opinion, to receive and make ef-fective the ideals which YOUJ the owners of Nesos,suggest, and to foretell and report accurately lifeand events on campus.

Always aiming for the high goal set for us bypreceding News staffs, we have worked to keep upexisting standards and to improve in any way wecould the college paper. Any improvement, anystandard maintained must be judged by our readers;our experience is ample reward for our efforts dur-ing the past year,

In the words of our predecessors: It is with a-lighr feeling of satisfaction which we hope is justi-fied, that we give our positions or responsibilty tothe newcomers. We are confident of their ability toproduce the kind of newspaper you desire. Theyhave fun, excitement, hard work, and, we hope, nott:JO much worry ahead, and so we wish our suc-cessors the best of luck!

Dear Editor:Over seven hundred students of this college

missed one of the most stimulating meetings everheld on this campus-the joint meeting of the Sci-ence Club and Religious Council, on Friday night,March 2 I J when the topic, HHow Can Science andReligion Cooperate to Solve Today's Problems r'was under fire. At that meeting the minds of stu-dents and professors alike were alert and respons-ive and questioning. NOJ no conclusions were reach-ed; no answers were given to any problems, but achallenge was hurled at each individual to think, todetermine the basis of his faith, the basis of his socialcode, This challenge, not put in so many words, butthere just as truly as though it was there, made eachindividual search himself in an attempt to discoverwhether his conception of religion was purely emo-tional, devoid of reason, or whether his religion hadany solid cornerstones in it.

Do students have to be urged by their professorsto go to such meetings; do they have to be bribedwith sugar cane, or are they just too lazy? In eith-er case, in any case, over seven hundred studentsmissed an opportunity to think carefully and search-ingly about themselves and their beliefs; over sevenhundred students missed an opportunity, rare andrich, to observe the minds of their faculty in action.Their action was not of the type that they use inclass rooms in talking to dull, sleepy, bored students,but of a vital, glorious kind that is moved to actionby other minds of admirable intellect.

Boston Life Shown IThings and Stuff IIn Marquand Novel

Katherine Cornell's productionof George Bernard Shaw's "TheDoctor's Dilemma" is one of thefinest of recent revivals. Althoughit might well be expected that thisold comedy about artists and doc-tors which lampoons the medicalprofession would seem out-dated, ithas escaped that stigma by its bril-liant sardonic wit. This sneeringassault on the doctors is a welcomeantidote to the sentimental bou-quets that have been handed to themedical profession in the past fewyears, even though we recognizethat M r. Shaw's attack is one-sid-ed.

John P. Marquand again givesLIS one of his lively. penetrating pic-tures of a phase of Boston life insuccession to his prize winningnovel, "The Late George Apley."This time, in "H. M. Pulham, Es-quire," he traces the story of aBostonian who graduated fromHarvard just before the war, re-turned from overseas to begin lifein the cynical twenties, experiencedthe depression and entered middleage with a new war beginning.As the focal point for his story,

Marquand begins with the twenty-fifth reunion of Harry Pulliam'sclass at Harvard. Harry is askedto write a brief summary of hislife for the Reunion Year Book,looks back over the years he haslived, remembers all the eventswhich will not go into the YearBook. He was educated in the"old-school" tradition, and broughtup by paren ts who, Victorian inideal, were confused by the newcentury ,vhich had come UPOIlthem.

From then011J his effort is to adjust the idealshe has inherited to a rapidly chang-ing world.John Marquand writes in his

Senior Majors In PsychologyStudy Methods Of Learning

By Marilyn Sworzyn '43

Learning "learning" is the un-usual task of Janet Bunyan, Doro-thy Gardner, Jane \Vray, andJane Rogers, seniors in Dr. JohnSeward's experimental psychologycourse. These psychology majorshave spent many hours in the psy-chology laboratories of Bill Hallobserving the process of learningin the rat andthe human being.First semester Jane Wray and

Jane Rogers studied the condition-al response in rats. Jane Wraytrained her rats to push a lever tosecure food or to get out of a box.Jane Rogers noted the rats' prefer-ence for dwelling in the placewhere he was fed. At the same timeJanet Runyan and Dorothy Gard-ncr were experimenting with theconditional reflex in human sub-jects, some of their classmates serv-ing as guinea pigs. Dorothy Gard-ner tried to train her subject towink at a clicking sound substitut-ed for a wiff of air that readily pro-duces the eye wink reflex. JanetBunyan attempted to condition hersubjects to respond emotionally to aflash of light in the same manneras they would respond to an elec-tric shock. .This semester the girls have

switched subjects: Jane Wray andJane Rogers are now studying rotelearning by human beings whilecolleagues Bunyan and Gardnerare noting maze learning in therat. At the end of each six-weeksproject the girls meet to exchangeresults. The results of JaneWray's first semester experimentproved sufficiently valuable for Dr.Seward to make further experi-ments with conditioning of rats toperform a certain task, and to pre-sent his findings at the EasternPsychological Association Confer-ence.The female aversion to rats is

but a fallacy as far as these psy-chology majors are concerned. Per-haps the explanation to this lies inthe fact that the rats are Brown

alumni-Dr. Gagne secured themfrom the Brown university labor-atories. Janet Bunyan still sports afew scars where the rats have nip-ped her, bur, nevertheless. I watch-ed her plunge her hand into an oc-cupied cage without the slightesthesitation. Janet admits, however.that now and then she does haveSOme antipathy toward her sub-jects, especially when after run-ning the maze perfectly severaltimes they spy their tails and sud-denly decide to chase them.Current gossip in Jane Addams

and Windham has it that the ratshave fleas and, consequently, theirguardians are to keep at a distance.At any rate Dorothy Gardner con-fesses that she has washed her hairthree times since the recent fleadiscovery. Dorothy, ill tribute toher classmates, Elizabeth Kirkpat-rick, Nancy Marvin, Mary Hoff-man, and Elizabeth Butler, has af-fectionately named her female ratsKirky, Nanny, Hoffie, and Ebbie.She admits that Hoffie is thesmartest rat and wears her PhiBeta key behind her left ear. Dor-othy also exclaimed that she namedher male rats in a fit of anger andprefers not to disclose their iden-tity. Jane Wray was more prosaicin naming her rats AI, A3, AS,etc. Janet Bunyan hasn't christen-ed her rats but remarked that eachhas its individual personality. Thecentral attraction in the rat com-munity is the twelve baby rats thatwere born March 9.jane Wrny and Jane Rogers re-

port that subjects for memorywork are difficult to corner. Re-cently one subject simply refusedto do any more memorizing.The results of this experimental

work ill psychology cannot be ful-ly comprehended by the laymanwithout a more detailed knowledgeof the problems involved. Thisbrief explanation of the work ofthese four psychology majors, how-ever, can serve to point out the ad-vantages and practicability of ex-perimental study offered by Con-necticut college.

Membership Of MusicalCo-Op Increases RapidlyAs Record Orders GrowEven in the rush of studies, play

rehearsals, and Service Leaguedances, the Musical Co-operativestudent members find time for ex-tra activities. During the past twoor three weeks several groups ofstudents and teachers have attend-ed legislative hearings at Hartfordon bills pertaining to the co-opera-tive movement.From the business end of the co-

op comes the word that record' or-ders are being received and filledas rapidly as "bottle-neck" con-ditions in the industry permit.Some records have been deliveredwithin forty-eight hours. On theother hand, there have been de-lays in filling other orders due todepleted stocks and the inability ofmanufacturers or dealers to keepup with the flood of orders.All the work of the co-op is be-

ing done without pay by memberswho are students, teachers, andtown people. The membership inthe organization has now increasedto ninety.

than ever before or since in March,1939, for patients spent a tara I of276 days that month within itsfour walls. The figures last yeardid not exceed 200 for any singlemonth, but in January of this rearstudents spent 237 days recuperar-ing from various illnesses, chieflythe flu. Fifteen students are themost who have ever been in the in-firmary at one time.Although appendicitis is the sev-

enth leading cause of death amongyoung persons between the ages of15 and 24, according to nation-wide statistics compiled in 1938,none of the cases which have oc-curred on our campus during thepast twenty years have been fatal.Between 1920 and 19.+0. therewere r68 cases of appendicitis atC.C., 71 of the students being op-erated 011 here, and 47 in theirhome towns. Seven of the eightcases which have occurred this yearwere operated on in New London.Four students had attacks within avery short time of one another, andwere all recuperating at relativelythe same period. This, Dr. Sco-ville explains, is due to the factthat the germs which irritate theappendix come in various waves, sothat several persons are often at-tacked at the same time.Dr. Scoville has made an inter-

esting comparison of our infirmarywith those of four other largeEastern girls' colleges. Althoughour infirmary has a smaller staffand fewer accommodations thanthe others, she is proud of the factthat it has never been necessary forthem to turn away any student inneed of medical attention. Dr. Sco-ville expressed the hope that itwould soon be possible for the col-lege to build a new infirmary withlarger and better accommodations.The following chart shows thecomparison with other colleges:

A symposium on the scientificand religious viewpoints on re-ligion was held on the evening ofi\Iarch 21 in Windham livingroom. Dr. Garabed Daghlian,Professor of Physics, discussed thescientific opinion, as he saw it, onthis subject. After defining re-ligion as an attempt to live a lifebased on the supposition that thereis a God, he then said that sciencehas not disproved the presence ofsuch a God. Real religion believesin a spiritual God; science does nottouch this God because it is onlyconcerned with material things. Itis reasonable and natural for sci-entists to be religious. Both sci-ence and religion contain muchidealism and are an appeal to peo-ple to experiment.Miss Rosemary Park, Assistant

Professor of German, presentedthe religious viewpoint, as she sawit. She said that the general intentof science, the disinterested pursuitof truth, is based on 11 presupposi-tion that the universe has been con-structed rationally and that manmay eventual1y understand it. Thescientist expresses his results insigns. The religious man, on theother hand, is "looking for salva-tion." His meaning of salvation isthat through a certain experiencehe finds a meaning for his life. Hecomes into contact with somethingthat is spiritual and transcendentaland establishes a very personal re-lationship with it. His results canalso be expressed by symbols, butthese are not as accurate as those ofthe scientist. The conflict, as MissParks saw it, lies in the fact thatthe scientist has attempted to de-stroy the symbols of religion andhas believed that by doing so it hasundermined religion.The present situation is one in

which man has lost his way in theuniverse. Miss Park then madethe very debatable accusation that"science is much responsible forthe situation" because it has under-mined man's intellectual and moralconfidence. She concluded thatonly after man has tried out all the ---------~----other answers and discovered thatthey are failures will he learn thatreligion is the only answer to theseproblems.An open discussion followed the

scientific and religious viewpointsas expressed by Dr. Daghlian andMiss Park. The opinions of theformer were left intact but thoseof the latter were clarified andthen exploded.

Fifty-three cases of flu, eightappendicitis operations, one brokenleg, and one case of pneumonia hadswelled the total infirmary entriesthis school year to 363 persons bythe end of February, an increase of28 over the same period last year.So far, October has proven to bethe most hazardous month, with83 different students applying atthe infirmary for treatment, andJanuary comes second with 78 onthe sick list. In addition to treat-ments for serious illnesses, 126blood counts have been taken bythe infirmary as general check-upand health measures.Two hundred and thirty-three

patient days have been spent at q6Mohican Avenue because of thetill epidemic, which has been themost disturbing single ailment thisyear. This is an average of 4-4days for 33 students. Dr. Doro-thea Scoville stated that this wasnot as large a number of Au casesas the college had in 1932-33, butthat the cases had been of a moreserio LIS nature. It is also interest-ing to note that 20 of the 39 ad-missions from March I to March17 this year have been for colds."Beware the Ides of March"-

a study of infirmary statistics forthe past ten years shows that thismonth and February are the mostdisasterous for college illness. Inthree of the ten years, Februaryshowed the most infirmary admis-sions, and March was the top forthree years too, tying with Novem-bcr ill one case. January has beena record month twice, December-nd October once each.February, 1939, saw the most

infirmary entries of anv monthover thi~ tell year period-93 be-d raggled students trekked thewell-known path down MohicanAvenue. As far as the trend fortotal annual applications for treat-ment is conce-rned, the figures havebeen rising sharply during the pasttwo years, reaching a high of S74last year. IThe number of patient days is Bennington

a level of attainment at which toaim.In 1931, however, a new list ap-

peared, called the Dean's List.During the decade it has been inexistence, the list of high standingstudents furnished by the Regis-trar's office has been decapitated atan arbitrary point, so that not "toomany" names would appear on thelist. That is, there has been nopossibility of a large number mak-ing that list.So far this year, it has seemed

wise to return to the old system.This type of honor is somethingthat every student in the collegemay aspire to attain, and any num-ber, no matter how large, whichreaches the required average, maybe found on the list.In the three upper classes, the

list contains all who attained a Baverage, or a standing of 3.00. Forthe freshman class, it includes allwith a standing above 2.80. 'Thenumber may seem large, nearly23 pCI' cent, but it is, in fact, asmaller per centage than that pub-lished by many of the men's col-leges, such as Princeton and Yale:It is to be hoped that this type ofhonors list may prove a greater in-centive than is the former, morearbitrary, Dean's List. But, wroteDr. Leib, both plans can be de-fended, and this is no effort to re-form the college.In the list appearing below.. all

seniors, juniors, and sophomores,with a B average for the first sem-ester, or a standing of 3.00, arenamed, and all freshmen with astanding of 2.80 or better. In thesenior and junior classes, the firsttwo girls listed have a standing of4.00, in the sophomore class, thefirst girl listed has a 4.00 standing,and in the freshman class, the firstgirl has a 3.90 standing.
