BRYN MAWR (AND WAYNE), PA., Were ys OCTOBER 14, 1925 : PRICE, 10°'CENTS ONE EXCITING NIGHT” | PRESENTED IN DENBIGH NEWS Gives Interviews With Eye- Witnesses of Unusual ! Events ACCOUNTS ALLY IN DETAILS Dame Rumor, with her usual alacrity, has been. busily elaborating the tale of | the recent burglar alarm in Denbigh. Pe News, “wishing to maké~ public” the real facts of the case, has Qptained state- ments from several eye-witnesses. While no definite clue-has been arrived at, evi- dence seems clearly to point to the fact that an intruder was in Denbigh, and that for no good purpose. A member of the Class of 1929, whose name is withheld, and who lives on the fourth floor of Denbigh, was the first person approached by the News repre- sentatives, S Denbigh Freshman Tells Tale “Last Wednesday, night,” she said, “I was awakened by a shriek from the direction of the graduate corridor. Hast- ily flinging on a wrapper, and seizing _ a hockey stick, I dashed out of the room, fearing the worst, for I had heard the announcement at lunch that there was a strange man prowling about the halls, and that considerable sums of money had already been ‘missed. My fears were justified; as I reached the hall, I heard a door slam in the graduate corridor, and out of the long, dark attic that con- nects the two corridors dashed -a dark figure, a man, with a hat pulled down over his eyes, and with a steel instru- ment ‘in his hand. . I shrank into the shadow of the door, and he rushed by me down the stairs. He passed so close to me that I could distinctly smell the nicotine on his breath, yet he must have failed to see me.” “How do you think he escaped from the building?” Miss 1929 was asked. “My own impression,” she replied, he jumped out of the window,of one “of the girls who were looking for him in the graduate corridor, and so filed down Gulph road.” Story of Night Watchman Represeritatives of the News also ¢on- ferred with one of the watchmen who were on duty at the, time. “We were returning from Rockefeller that night,” he said, “where we had been called-on a false alarm by the porter, who had got the window up, when we heard faint screams from Denbigh. We then ran in that direction with our lanterns, and, on arriving, found the whole hall in an uproar. -Hurrying upstairs, we searched the attic thoroughly, but found no one there.” In order to have a8’ comprehensive and unbiased an account as possible, the News next obtained an interview with a student not residing in Denbigh, but in Pembroke East, overlooking the scene ce’ action, Interview with A. Whiting, "27 “About 11.47 Wednesday night I heard | scuffi ing saunds in the hall and a tele- phone ‘ringing in the Warden’s _ room. Looking out into the hall, I saw nothing. ¢ then rushed to the window.

EATON Garage and Livery Stable School of R¥alism Condemned 7 “Sheridan had the ‘School for Scandal’ in repertory at the Drury Lane Theatre for Seventeen years before’ he thought it ready to publish,”’ said Walter Prichard Eaton, speaking on creative writing ard the comedy of manners, at a tea given by the Liberal Club in Pem- 99> October 12. : “It is the polish and: finish which he gave to the writing that have made the play live its two centuries, while a play of our modern realistic’ school lives scarcely four.” “The School for Scan- dal’”’ will be presented at the Broad Street Theatre, opening on October 26: Will any comedy of George M. ®ohan last so long? No play can live which is merely photographic, which has no _ form. Rhythm and-beauty of: sentence, like that of Millamant’s agreement with Mirabel about “dwindling” into marriage, and Sir Benjamin Backbite’s description of his verses, “a neat rivulet of text meandering through a meadow of margin,” are the enduring qualities of a piece of literature. In contrast with these quotations, Mr. Eaton read conversations from “Is Zat So?” and “The Butter and Egg Man,” now running in New York. “In_ fifty years,” he declared, ‘‘no one will be able to understand | those lines without a glossary.” “Bernard Shaw’s works have stood some test of ‘time. In 1890 I saw ‘Arms and the Man,’ now being produced with great-succesg in New York. Two years later I went to ‘The Devil’s Disciple,’ recently a very success- ful revival. And there was ‘Candida’ last year. Shaw’s plays have not died because they have wonderful polish and workmanship, which the realistic productions lack. The latter are not given the necessary time and pains.” Mr. Eaton stand be made against the new and_livery_ stable” its carelessness of style and form, its emphasis on mere photography of sordid details, Only by long labor and devo- tion to beauty can work be done that will live through the centuries.

PETTY, IN’PHILADELPHIA?™ Helpfulness, Sympathy, Democracy and Sacrifice are Four Essentials “Imagine, that instead of being here for the ordinary purposes of worship, you were here’ to discover how many Chris- tians there are in’ Philadelphia.” This problem was offered by the @Reverend Ray Petty, fastor of the Judson Memo- rial Baptist’ Church of New York City, in Levening..Chapel,-October—10.__ Instead of consulting all the chal aid Y.

Sympathy is a reflection of the heart which knows how to love. Democracy includes sympathy with» all races and classes, and also with all shades of cul- ture. In educational institutions, intel- ‘lectual snobbery is even more menacing than social snobbery. “All of us must sacrifice some things we have a right to keep, in order that other people may have what they have a right to possess.” This may be done, not merely by great, spectacular sacri- fices, hut by those humble acts for which everyone may find an opportunity. If these tests were applied, we would discover a very different list of Chris- tians, a list from which many deacons, trustees, and clergymen would be—miss- ing, and which would include many of the common run of fotk, many who: have’ no connection with established churches, but who, according to their fruits, are true Christians. HARVARD sisi . DR. LEUBA ON MYSTICISM “Invaluable. to Student of Mysticism” Says William. Ernest eins Leuba’s inquiry is sani Sevdiied,: bristling with facts, and carried with a studied effort to be fair to all sides of his subject. He regards the mystics as mistaken in their own interpretations; they think they have attained union with God when their ecstasies are very mun- dane in origin. But their efforts have not been wholly vain; they have succeeded in tapping unusual sources of Life-En- ergy; and no one who wants to know human nature and its possibilities can afford to neglect their achievéments. What is needed, he urges, is to eliminate what. is abnormal and to get rid of the, | hampering. theology and metaphysics in terms” of which the mystics made their experiences turbid to themselves and to others: The body of Leuba’s work consists in the demonstration of abnormal elements. in mystical experiences.

It is hoped that the Presidents will find that their interests on the ques- tion coincide to the extent that each may return to the Igirectors of the college with the statement of the géiteral and ‘mmediate necessity for a new and less rigid smoking rule, Previous to the conference of the col- lege Presidents, a meeting has been’ ar- ranged in New York for the eighteenth of October, at the instigation of our Self- Government. Association, which will be attended by the Presidents of Student Government at Vassar, Smith, Wellesley, Mt. Holyoke, and Bryn Mawr, to discuss the smoking situation and its possible solution at the various colleges. Should the need for some less severe rule be discovered to be as acute at the other colfeges as it has become at Bryn Mawr; it is hoped that the Presidents may de- vise some feasible plafis to lay before their college Presidents in order that they may have their material at hand at the conference on the twenty-third and come to some definite decision that will imme- diately materially better the situation. For the purpose of discovering the opinion of the undergraduates as to the advisability of having a new smoking regulation, our Self-Government. Board is circulating the following questionnaire: 1. Are you in favor’ of the present rule in regard to smoking? smoking with some restrictions? It. is important for students to think constructively before filling out the ques- tionnaire and to realize factors of safety and convenience which stand in the way of unrestricted smoking. Only in this way will the opinions be of any value. No assurance as to the outcome of the conferences can be given, but every effort ing..

These. plays should be started after the day’s work has been done, and the day’s exercise t@ken, so that the average reader can thoroughly reconcile himself ‘to a pastime so casual, so light, and — so innocent, * _ Morley works. up his situations. in a remarkably simple and_ lifelike way. Things do-happen, after all, when young marrieds are talking and washing dishes in a kitchenette. And. things happen when tired department store clerks are dressing a window with a three hundred dollar bedroom suite, which they feel to be an awful bluff, but accept anyhow, on thew““gum” philosophy—the taste only lasts elteiead but people can chew it for hours. There is Walt Whitman’s last day at home, with Dick (Richard Harding) Davis, and Logan Pearsall Smith. That’s a play, and a vivid impression of Ameri- can thinking in the days of Poe and the “Evening Sun.” “East of Eden” completes the list, and guarantees the work as Morley’s. God, with a capital G, comes in for a few knocks from the first. family, after they have taken up fig leaves and a suburban residence, and there is an interesting view on fhe use and value of children devel- oped. ‘The plays are easy to read, and: what’s more, easy to act.

A new or- Fganlization must be ultra-conservative in initiating its actions to escape censure, and I feel that the committee has over- looked this important point. I saw 7ce Bound when it was’ produced in New York two years ago, and have a very vivid recollection of it. It certainly seemed hardly the type of play that Bryn Mawr would care to sponsor. The im- promptu skit, or the Gilbert and Sulli- van comic opera have seemed perfectly permissable for light drama, but in the more serious* vein, the productions whose: success I have on occasion witnessed have always been a wise selection from the dramatic classics. A deviation from these plays of unquestionable morality seems ill-advised. Surely histrionic abil- ity can be equally well displayed in plays whose matter is less sordid and revolting. AN -ALUMNA. NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES Student Strike Threatens at Wabash. Rumblings of discontent are becoming louder and louder at Wabash College over the Trustee ruling banning student owned automobiles. A “pep” meeting before the Purdue football game quickly turned into an indignation meeting when Dr. Mackintosh, President of the col- lege, announced that no student would be permitted to drive a car from eight o’clock Friday night. Here. the student body voted unanimously to strike if some violator of the rule is expelled from col- lege. * When interviewed by a Bachelor reporter, the members of the Executive Board of the Trustees refused to give their per- sonal reasons for desiring the abolution {of “Campus Cans.” , The Wabash Bachelor student pullilicas tion carries complete stories of the affair. In its editorial column it lashes the trustees unsparingly. To the plea that the enact- ment of a law makes it right, the editors have this to say: The enactment of a law or ruling does not make it. right, and col- lege students, as well as anyone else, have: a perfect right to object to rules that they deem unjustifiable. When an autocratic body makes laws for the mass without the consent of the mass, then is it right? The trustees are trying to force an objectionable rule on the students, and they hav right as United States citizens to object. Con- sequently they have taken the only weapon in theire grasp—the strike—and have sig- nified their intention of using it, if the need ariney~( From the New Student.) REVIEW OF DR.

Without sub- sctibing to Freudian psychology, and wholly avoiding its terms, Leuba clearly régards.much of mystical experience as a substitute for normal sex-life, a product of repression. fhe motives of the mystics aré supposed by them ‘to be purely. spirit- ual; but an analysis of their lives shows that their moral aspirations were not un- mixed with self-assertion and self-esteem, and tltat their moral goals were incom- pletely attained. No one can doubt the pertinence of such facts as Leuba has here so usefully assembled to the question what mysti- cism means and how much credence it de- serves, But just what and how much do these facts imply? Leuba appears not wholly definite on this point. Neuras- thenia does not exclude genius. The presence of an element of sex-love in supposedly divine love does not condemn it; for a lofty interpretation transforms— every experience. But for the most ‘part Leuba seems to feel that if he can show a physiological cause or accompaniment of an experience, he has thereby dis- proved a spiritual meaning. That which is due’ to Nature is not due to God. Leuba’s book is a crusade against super- stition; he would extract the value of mysticism without the pretense of cosmic insight, and without metaphysics. Yet Leuba’s own interpretation is governed by this metaphysical doctrine, that Nature and the God of the mystics are incom- patibles. This doctrine I believe pro- foundly mistaken, and the interpretation which results from it must miss the main point. The difficulty is that psychology is not a sufficient organ for the interpre- tation of anything. A “state of mind” is a state of mind about some objett, and he who studjes the state of mind apart from the object has but half of the fact. Mysticism, in particular, cannot be assess- ed without deliberately wrestling .with those metaphysical objects which to the mystic are the central substance of the world. camera Suppose that psychology should dis- cover someday just what it is in the self- discipline of the Yoga or in the spiritual exercises of Loyola or in modern psy- chotherapy which djs, strengthening to the will, There would emerge a technique of psychical power; but what sort of personality would ‘result from it? ‘That would depend altogether on what those exercises should mean to the one who performed them. The Yogin of today is an adept, a gymnast of the psycho- physical organism; but very generally a thoroughly unspiritual and, socially use- less person. There is no physiological” equivalent for communion with God. Ex- hilaration is not ipso facto divine, as Leuba seems to suggest. Unless there is 4 ro God in the world, nothing is divine; the _ adjective is merely the echo of a lost faith. And if there is God in the world, the mystic must be judged by the literal: possibility of communion with Him. In a genial footnote, Professor Leuba divides the scholarly Gaul into three parts. “There ‘are,” he says, “men who plunge into the detailed study of facts with a singlemindedness such that their creative imagination is endangered, and there are men who impatiently shake the dust of facts from their wings and soar glori- jously. The first are called scientists, the second philosophers.” The third division, not mentioned but implied, contains those... m the ground ie facts.
