BRYN MAWR COLLEGE, situated in the suburbs of Philadelphia at Bryn Mawr, Pa., was founded in 1885 in order to establish and maintain an institution of advanced learning for women, by the will of Dr. Joseph W. Taylor, a member of the Society of Orthodox Friends. The government of the college is vested in a corporation which includes 13 life trustees, the presi dent of the college, two directors-at-large and five alumnae direc tors nominated by the Alumnae Association to the board of directors. The college is non-sectarian. The campus of exceed ing beauty, with its buildings of grey stone in collegiate Gothic architecture, covers 6oac. and overlooks a broad expanse of rolling country. The buildings include the main administrative hall with class-rooms, the library (containing in 1928 about 114,000 volumes) designed to be primarily a library for special study, a science building, a gymnasium, an infirmary, a students' building containing an auditorium seating over I ,000 with a wing for the department of music, and seven halls of residence. The classes of students admitted to the college are, graduate, under graduate and hearers. Graduate students must present a diploma from a college of acknowledged standing. The most distinguished place amongst the graduate students is held by the fellows and graduate scholars. Many European fellowships, resident and non resident fellowships and scholarships are awarded annually. Every year six scholarships are awarded to students from European countries. Undergraduate students are admitted only by college entrance board examinations and cannot have a matriculation condition. Hearers must be at least 25 years of age; they are admitted without examination ; they cannot reside in the college nor be candidates for degrees ; they are admitted to courses only with the consent of the instructor. The degrees of bachelor of arts, master of arts and doctor of philosophy are conferred. In 1928 there were 79 members of the faculty and teaching staff; 382 undergraduate and 116 graduate students, representing 40 States and 12 foreign countries. Forty-four States and 25 coun tries were represented among the 4,600 alumnae and former students. Approximately $6o,000 is given annually in fellowships and scholarships, $32,000 to graduate and $28,000 to under graduate students. (M. E. PA.)
