Year End Twinklings

Last week, as another scholastic year drew toward a close, college stars who had long been gathering campus lustre began to twinkle in the nation's Press.

Bryn Mawr's smartest junior got her picture taken at the May Day hoop-rolling festival (see cut). She is 5 ft. tall, weighs 98 lb., has been in the U. S. since 1930. Her name is Vung-Yuin Ting. This year she won the Maria L. Eastman Brooke Hall Memorial scholarship for the junior class's best scholastic record, the Charles S. Hinchman Memorial scholarship for being best of any Bryn Mawr girl in her major subject. Bryn Mawr's only Chinese student, Vung-Yuin Ting majors in chemistry, is one of the campus' friendliest and best-liked girls. She is treasurer of the Athletic Association, was president last year of the International Club. Her father, Zoong Ing Ting, is a Shanghai physician. Her aunt, Dr. Vung Ting, China's No. 1 woman physician, is head of Tientsin's Women's Hospital. When she finishes at Bryn Mawr next year Vung-Yuin Ting plans to go to the University of Michigan Medical School, then back to Shanghai to practice with Dr. Zoong Ing Ting. In Manhattan last week Columbia University Press announced publication of Eleanor Gertrude Brown's Ph. D. dissertation on Milton's Blindness. "No one," wrote she, "would deny that blindness has its deprivations. That it has its compensations is recognized by every sightless person." Eleanor Brown, 46, was born blind. Scholarships and loans from women's clubs paid for readers and other expenses at Ohio State University but her own industry got her an A. B. in 3 1/2 years. As an experiment, a Dayton high school gave her a teaching job. She has held it for 20 years. Next month Columbia will award her a Ph. D.
