Book Description
Excerpt from The Lantern, 1900 Bryn Mawr is unique in two respects, one academic and the other social. The first is our privilege of specialization, both in undergraduate and graduate work, and the second is our self-government Association. Bryn Mawr was the first woman's college to adopt the group system, and to allow the youngest student to choose her own course, within certain large limitations. Beside the specialization through the group system, we have been peculiarly fortunate, from the opening of the college, in having among us always a considerable number of specializing graduate students through whose presence the undergraduate is brought into closer contact with real scholarship than would otherwise be possible. By means of the group system all students are closely united in the class room and sympathy between fellow-students is thus made to extend from one class to another and is. Not confined within the limits of a single class. Nevertheless, that the group system lessens class feeling, as was stated in the lantern of 1891, is fortunately or unfortunately no longer true. Though we may all be fellow-students, we are not fellow-classmen, and with regard to our own class, we are only too jealous of its dignity and privileges.
