MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN GREAT WAR Right Of Free Speech Menaced By Persecution Of Reds, Says Baldwin , “Who are the Reds and what do they want,” was the subject of the lecture of Roger N. Baldwin, director of the Ameri- can Civil Liberties Union, who spoke un- dér the auspices of the Liberal Club’ last “Thursday evening: . “The Communist movement is a flaming challenge to the capitalist system. It stands for a working class Government to organize business for service, not for the profit of a smalk group of capitalists. Its lifeblood flows out from the heart of Mos- cow. All branches, comprising about 25,000 people in America alone, take their orders from ,Moscow, as Catholics from the Pope. Communism seems to me far more important than the gréat war, which was only the result of the effort of nations to undermine each other’s trade. It ad- vocates taking away the privileges from the privileged classes and preaches un- questioning loyalty to its principles, “In 1917 a tremendous effort was made in this country to suppress Communism. It forced thém, idealists as they were, to resort to the same underhand and tortu- ous methods caused in Russia by Czarist persecutions.

BRUNEL Dr. Roger Frederick Brunel, head of the Department of Chemistry, died December 23 in the Bryn Mawr Hospital. Dr. Brunel was born in Portland, Me., in- 1881. He received his degree of A. B. from Colby University in 1903, and his doc- tor’s degree from Johns Hopkins in 1906. In 1912 Dr. Brunel came to Bryn Mawr as an associate in chemistry, became asso- ciate professor in 1914 and received a full professorship and was made head of the department in 1917, His specialty was or- ganic chemistry, and during the war he was connected with the United States chemical warfare service. ' He was a member of the Senate and the Academic Council and was one of the two faculty representatives on the Joint Adminis- trative Committee of the Summer School for Women Workers in Industry,.a school in which he was much interested. He was also a violinist of note. By a Member of the Faculty It has more than once been said that. the great teachers are not the leading minds in their profession, scholars and the great @xperimentalists can seldom teach well. that gifts so distinet are evenly combined ; but Professor Brunel could claim distinction almost equally as a thinker and student of scientific theory, as a skillful laboratory worker, and as an enthusiastic and success- ful teacher. Those who knew him in one or the other of these aspects will be likely to ‘emphasize only a single side of his career; but to appreciate him at his real value, is to see how equally baffénced he was and how broadly endowed with all three quali- ties. : Ih teaching, he escaped the routine of repetition by constantly inventing novel illus- trations and ingenious devices for making clear the most -difficult points. With odd problems, often ‘akin to puzzles,’ he satisfied himself whether his class had ‘rightly under- stood; afd none; was more pleased than he, if ‘his students could solve what ‘hée had set. In the laboratory (and those who worked with him will think it superfluous to say what is so well known) he gave time with- out considering it and took endless trouble, being more interested ‘that problem or ex- periment should succeed than that his own convenience’ should be courted. Here, ‘as’ in his own researchés, his methodical accuracy and: professional dexterity were far beyond the average of even the trained worker, | causation.

GEORGE BELLOWS ie death of George Bellows last week deprived America of one of her most in- teresting younger artists, a remarkable painter and. lithographer, whose works have been exhibitéd throughout Europe, in the Kensington Museum, in London, at National Exposition of Roine,. in Berlin,| Munich and many other cities, as well as in the United States. Bellows was born in Ohio’ ‘in 1882 and became a pupil of Robert Henri. During his life he re- ceived many well-known awards for his pictures, notably the Hallgarten Prize and Sesnan Medal. Examples of his work are in the permanent collections of the Metro- politan Art Museum, of New York, the Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, the Art Institute of Chicago, and many other important ° collections. As a por- trait painter Bellows was especially re- markable in his studies of character, as in the well-known portrait, “The Three Annes.” As a lithographer, he produced work not only beautiful in its craftsman- ship, but also of great. variety and interest in its subject matter, from the almost grotesque quality of his war pictures to the studies of Irish peasants in his illus: trations to’ Donn Byrne’s novel, “The Wind Bloweth,” published in the Century Maga- zine. Whatever his future reputation as a painter, Bellow’s fame will stand as a lithographer of unusual originality, finish and power. THE CRITIC ON THE HEARTH Mr. Robert C. Benchley, dramatic edi- _tor of “Life,” and the author of various vastly | entertaining essays, has gone on the stage. He does an act in visi: and in so doing has laid himself open to all kinds of protest, “What is a critic doing on the stage?” disapproving voices ask. “A critic should be watching others act, not losing his dignity and prestige by trying to. himself. His place is in the home!” But i is it? -A critic’s place is to inquire into the artist’s aims and whether he ful- fills them, and we for ore cannot see ‘ how some practical knowledge and ex- perience should in. any way impair his powers. At all events time arid Mr. Bench- ey will soon enlighten us. . ‘ARE WE BEING EDUCATED? -American college women have little con- ception of the meaning of a liberal educa- tion or of intellectual thoroughness. They do better work in their lessons than college "men, but they are more eager to get by with the professor, they are not challenging, and “they are not apt to go below the: surface of a subject. “This is the sabaiiasin of the. accusation made by a writer in the December American Mercury. ‘Whether or not hé*had our own ieee in mind, he could hardly have activity is as painful as it is fare, We sit and ‘swallow all that our professors tell us the books we read. Outside reading in our courses is almost never undertaker’ unless there is some prospect of getting “credit” for it, and our slavish devotion to marks is revealed by our conversation. The amount of time we have been studying and our “terror” at the thought of a quiz tomorrow }would seem’ to be the only phases of our academic work which intefest us. The fun- damental and most serious fault in our at- titude, however, and it is perfectly typical of America, is our underlying idea that our studying tnust have a concrete and immediate end. “We learn’ things in order to be able to bring them out in conversation,” as an Pa. | upper-classman-naively-put it. We want'to} ‘| be charming hostesses, to get.a degree, to appear cultured, and so we emerge from college with a bowing acquaintance with several branches of knowledge and an un- derstanding of none. Small wonder we are known as intellectual snobs! With all our abysmal ignorance, we veshnanti a virtue when ‘we have it not. ; ' But the system is quite as much to bilan. Required reading, which makes one read agaiyst time or against the numbers of the pages, examinations and quizzes that are given on assignments rather. than on sub- jects, the consumption of lecture notes and their return, unchanged by any thought on the part of the student, on her examination, all these are cells in the prison’ known as college educatfon. Apparently, at present, we cannot change the system. But while we cannot tear down the walls that surround us, we may by our own efforts be able to climb over them. To put understanding be- fore the mere acquisition of facts, arid intel- Iectual honesty before a good mark, to pre- fer to know a subject rather than to pass a quiz—these are some of the steps which will help us over.

BAYARD TAYLOR’S CENTENARY Sunday, January 11, was the centenary of Bayard Taylor, an interesting figure in-a remarkable period of American litera- ture. He was born at Kennett Square, not 30 miles from here; but’ soon wan- dered far in ‘his zest for travel, almost anywhere, but especially in the East. With the money from’ his first book, Ximena, or the Battle of the Sierra Morena, pub- lished when he was 19 and a printer's ap- prentice, Taylor went on his first voyage to, England, France, Germany. ‘and Italy. The - account: of this experience in Views Afoot, or Europe Seen With Knapsack and Staff, won him a place-on. the New York Tribune under Horace Greeley. For this newspaper he went to California it “the stirring days of '49.” Returning home through Mexico, he found material. for El Dorado, or Adventure inthe’ Path of Empire, which was soon followed by; books about his travels in the.

LAWS .MAY- NOT- PREVENT : PLAYS BEING GIVEN IN GYM wt ts a Tp ee Broker Say Says College Is Safe we («Due To-Central Heating . + On Wednesday, December 17, Mr. J. B. Longacre, of the firm of Longacre and Wing, Insurance Brokers, spoke in morn- ‘tng chapel oni fire risk in the college. ‘ The mumerous school and college fires in the past few years and the recent State Legislation agaitist fire and panic have brought up this quéstion at Bryn Mawr. Mr. Longacre spoke of the comparative safety bf the collegé buildings because the central heating system eliminates separate furnace fires and because electric lighting involves; so much less risk than the gas jets or kero- sene_lamps-with which the halls were origi- pally equipped. 2 He mentioned electrical. heating appli- dices as one sotrce of danger. These appli- ances are often faulty ih’ construction and the college lighting system isnot organized to carry the additional ‘current which they consume, so that a short-citcuiting, which ‘often causes fire, might result. It no longer appears probable that the Commencement Exercises of the Class of #025 will have to be postponed until the completion of the Students’ Building. A device has been’ found which clamps to- gether several rows of ‘chairs and makes them practically. immovable. This, it is hoped, will meet the State requirements and enable ug to use the gymnasium for meet- ings and plays until the new auditorium is ready. he e NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES « | Idea of a University. No doubt American students, at any rate those who have seen, felt or really understood’ the work of the European Stud@nt ‘Relief, are fairly familiar’ with the remarkably fair and efficient accom- plishment of that body in supplying ma- terial needs of desperate young students throughout Europe. It is not strange, therefore, that at its international confer- ence at Elmau, Germany, this year the }- European Student Relief and students of 28 countries should face and try to ana- lyze their idea of a university. “We, students of 28 lands, assembled in conference at Elmau, are deeply concern- ed because of the tendency to turn our ‘universities into specialist or professional schools, and to consider as science a mere |’ intellectual education out of touch with life. “The war and the dash few years dem- onstrated that the intellectual classes of the different countries were no more mas- ters of. the situation than any other class or group. The regult has been that they are in no position ‘today to fulfill their highest furiction and responsibility—that of leadership in their respective nations. This state of affairs must be’ changed. - “We, therefore, urge that our secondary and higher institutions of learning should give the students not. only specialized pro- fessional or vocational training, but also an education which shall keep them in vital relation to teality and to’ current events and affairs; an education. which shall nurture personalities conscious of their moral responsibilities in life; person- alities equipped with qualifications which will enable them to occupy their place and fulfill their function in an all-inclusive world order of humanity with super-na- tional eternal values. “Such an order does not mean a shallow superficial internationalism, but on the contrary, an order in which expression | of national character—the pre-requisite basis for every culture or Civilization—is possible. °. “We regard ourselves as spokesmen of a generation which is called upon to es- tablish a new. world order of mutual un- derstanding arid co-operation. In this _ Spirit we appeal to E. S. R., wherever it] ia an influence in determining. educa- ional policies and principles, to adopt this as xa prigaary: ee | of its work; and in doing so to render indispensable service to the spiritual needs of our pres- ent student generation —New. Student. Question Whether Venus de Milo Had * _ *. Arms. va Paris, Nov. 12.—It may be some conso- lation to art lovers throughout the world; who have wondered in what position were the missing arms of the famous Venus de Milo statue in the Louvre, to learn that feven the ancients themselves were per- plexed on this point. Dr. Edde, a French physician, has just made known that during a recent visit to A Yellow Slicker changes one’s viewpoint of a rainy day. Slickers _ cor- rectly tailored are rubber - faced in yellow, $7.50; of . yellow oiled cloth, $8.50. Strawbridge & Clothier Market Street, Eighth Street, Filbert Street Egypt he came into possession of a small bronze statuette of the same period as the Venus de Milo. This. statuette is an exact copy of the famous Venus, and like the original, it has no arms. Dr, Edde therefore concludes that tfie Venus. de Milo never at any time. had arms, and he believes that the sculptor, when he had carved gut of the stone such a divine form, gave up all idea of adding arms. e e Travel Opportunity A great-steamship company will ap- pointa very limited number of under- graduates as its Student Representa- tives in connection with its Special College Sailings=Tourist Third Class ~—which will be restricted exclusively to. college men and women, teachers, tourists and such congenial persons to whom Round Trips to Europe will be offered for as little as $155.
