Endorses Clean Politics and Education “Since women have begun to vote, in- terest in the primaries has been aroused as never before,” said Mrs. H. L. Schwartz, of the League of Women Votets, who gave an informal talk on the candidates for the approaching May primaries, last Thursday night in the dean’s office. Mrs. Schwartz discussed the candidates national and_ state George W. Pepper, the-well-known-Phila- delphian, and Major Reed, prominent in adjustment of war claims, will probably be the Republican nominees for Senators from the Eastern’ and Western part of the State. ‘The Democrats are tnited in proposing Judge Schull, of Stroudsburg, Mr. Kerr. for nominations. and Of the three probable candidates for. the Pinchot | governorship,*Mr. Alter and Mr. are running for the Republicangnomination. Mr. Alter, according to Mrs. Schwartz, ‘is a constitutional lawyer, has never stood for any particularly progressive laws. Yet he is- backed by the Sproul and Vare factions. Mr. Pinchot has.made an ad- mirable record in his forestry work. After excellent service as head of the National Department, he resigned on account of a difficulty over Alaskan lands and became head of the State Department. He is inde- pendent of the machine, relying entirely on his personal following. “He is erratic,” Mrs. Schwartz asserted, “but a really good candidate.” For the first time, the Demo- crats have‘ agreéd upon a candidate for .the who nomination before the primaries, and are proposing only one man, Mr. John Mc- Sparren. - The candidates for Congressman .from the Ninth Congressional District are: Mr. Fried, Democrat, whose record is unknown ; and, of course, Mr. Watson, who, despite his insignificant record, has no opponent in the Republican , Party. “Only one legislator is sent from this oe (Continued on page 2) ‘ b Committee. charity. tte Revere ee pein UL ot | large universities and colleges.

What dards, then, is it to find ‘a glee club of a university not only announcing a program works by such composers as Palestrina, Bach, Brahms, Franck and such moderns as Florent Schmitt and Milhaud, but performing it with such artistic finish and excellence as did the Harvard Glee Club under the conductorship of Dr. Archi- bald T. Davison. It was obvious to thé most casual ob- server that the Harvard men did not sing with such enthusiasm and fine feeling for the spirit of the music merely because of their splendid training by Dr. Davison, but be- cause they enjoyed every note of what they sang and felt that they were participating in pioneer work of the first order and, as such, felt the moral responsibility to give of their best, which the interpretation: of all great music imposes. This, I think, is the far greater side of the work which Dr. Davison is doing— that he has ‘been able to endow these men with a love for and understanding of great music, beyond the fact of giving pleasure to a passing audience.

Its ‘normal action is often ‘unexpected; and when, passing: beyond the normal; the will becomes pathological, its varied manifesta- tions frequently appear inexplicable. Those —the so-called~ weak-willed—who cannot sufficiently fix their attention Gn a given end so as to bring about that end develop neurotic conditions and lay themselves open to—influence of wills stronger than their own. Only when one raises the counter suggestion, namely, that they can choose for themselves, are they released from the ty ranny of the stronger personality. ‘ Such a situation, it seems to me, Ibsen portrays in The ‘Lady from the Sea; such a situation is the only one which can ex- plain Ellida’s sudden change in the fifth act. In life it is often difficult to be con- vinced that a-person’s character and aims can change completely. Seen on the stage, it is doubly difficult to believe. Our minds have been reaching out to comprehend the character in a certain aspect and are slow to grasp a complete reversal'of that aspect.
