Excerpt from Women Workers at the Bryn Mawr Summer School
The following survey of what she so happily refers to as "a new adventure in women workers" education," by Hilda Worthington Smith, Director of the Bryn Mawr Summer School for Women Workers in Industry, gives a faithful history of over six hundred women workers who have studied and played on the Bryn Mawr College campus for the past eight summers. It is a moving story told by Miss Smith with sympathy and charm and cannot fail to touch the hearts of all readers, and it makes available the experience of Bryn Mawr Summer School for other colleges and universities that wish to do likewise. The gratitude of everyone interested in the education of adult workers is due to the Carnegie Corporation of New York, which has generously paid for the preparation and publication of this survey.
During the first two years covered by the Survey it was my duty as President of Bryn Mawr College to preside over the Joint Administrative Committee which planned and developed the Summer School and during the five years following my resignation as President to serve as one of the forty members of this Committee and I can testify to the fairness and accuracy of Miss Smith"s account. Nothing is exaggerated, no difficulties have been suppressed. The glow of enthusiasm and mutual understanding which she has succeeded in reproducing in this report was felt by us all.
