Barber, ’25, retiring president, sub- mitted her report, in which she described the work of the Association during the past year. Of the legislature, she said that “first, it guaranteed a quorum, and secondly, it insured a wider and more _ intelligent knowledge of the business at hand.” “Within the. Association,” she went on, “other important changes have been ' made. First and foremost is the new position of the Curriculum Committee. Last fall it became apparent’ that the committee must come to some sort of an agreement with the faculty or dissolve. President Park said that the Faculty Curriculum Commigtee would probably be very glad to have a joint meeting to discuss the situation. This meeting was held carly in the second semester with the following results which are embodied in the constitution of the committee: “The function of the Curriculum Com- mittee shall be to formulate its own opinions and to obtain information upon college opinion concerning the college opinion at the a request of the faculty, “Reports handed in to the faculty shall state separately the vote of each class and the vote of the committeé. In case of a divis‘on of opinion in the committee, the c'asses of the voters shall be apecified: four Juniors, three Sophomores and two Freshmen, from which at least three Juniors, two Sophomores, and one Freshman must be appointed for the fol- lowing year.

The Pennsylvania team showed better offensive work, and in the first few matches put Bryn Mawr altogether on the defensive. Towards the end Bryn Mawr gained confidence and won six matches in close succession. The Bryn Mawr team was more alert than the Penn- sylvania girls, but showed a decided lack of experience. E.

In this our most recent Bryn Mawr _ production, however, the general level of the acting was so high that one could not but feel that the day of the class play had gone forever. One ‘finds it difficult to comment sepa- rately upon the single qualities of our School for Scandal—its costuming, scenery, music —hecause of the unusual harmony of the whole. But even the layman could not be unaware of the skill which went to the achieving of this harmony—the subtlety with which the colors of costume and “setting were blended, thes charm of the musical entries and exits, the delicacy of the pan- tomime by which the awkwardness of the usual amateur curtains was avoided. To this sophisticated, gaily-colored world, Scandal seemed completely attuned.

His health was poof, his wife uncongenial, and his shiftlessness and selfish antagonism had made him many eneniies.. It is interesting to note that he was then an adherent of the pifil- osophy of Schopenhauer. In these years, however, he completed the operas Der Flie- gender Hollander, Tannhauser, and the libretto of The Ring. The orchestration of the Wagner operas requires a sunken orchestra, a thing un- ‘heard of at that time and not realized until the opening of the Bayreuth. House, where the first series of Opéra Festivals were given, es “At Das Rheingoid” said Mrs. Hollan- der, “my father sat next to the great critic, Hanslick, in this theatre and heard him express his disapproval of Wagner. It is difficult for us to see why so com- petent a critic was bitterly opposed to Wagner; the true reason lay in Wag- ner’s personal attitude. He wrote music for music’s sake and brought on Hans- lick’s opposition by satirizing him and critics in general as Beckmesser in Die Meistersinger. “Today, when the i pee al and unpleasantness of his personality are for- gotten, Wagner has come into his own and is recognized as one of the world’s greatest ~composers, dramatists and poets. His operas are loved by even those who do not ‘understand’ music. They have been a fundamental influence in my life,” said Mrs. Hollander in conclusion, “from the. time when, as a child, I heard my owh uncle, Lugen Sura, and his friends in the great Wagner roles.” FACE OUTWORN DOGMA FRANKLY HOLD TO THE TRUTH OF CHRIST Make Room In Your Thoughts For The Contributions Of Science e “Tam attempting to set you thinking about a very serious question,” said. J. Cheney, ’27, speaking in Vespers last Sun- day night. , But_I think it is_ap- palling that we should face with cow- ardice certain scientific facts which tend to destroy our traditional belief. We also look only on the dark side. “Before I’ go on I wish to say that I am not denouncing the value of Chris- tianity in this world. Christ is the great- est example of high living we have ever had, and we must keep His’ personality in our thoughts. You may at times think I am being entirely destructive, but I hope to build up where I have torn down, and ask you to be patient. “I am speaking to two types of peo- ple; those who place hope in the orthodox Christian faith, but who find it a bit un- satisfactory, and those who have been Aorn away from traditional belief and are still floating about with eathing to cling to. : “For the latter my appeal will be clearer than’ for those who have not studied .| science, and who have not,been oppressed | by. the lack of co-ordination between the 1 tempted: to when it comes to that which’ and shiftlessness brought creditors furi-], [LD is ShOLt..time.L. can't-—-possibly- prove every..paint. ‘ 4 m : a% ' ' i , ; RS € ° a j ee + » : e g ; : Cd 2 g THE COLLEGE NEWS : x . é ‘i ages”?

I am pt saying that prayer has no good side, but pointing out one defect.

This _he cannot accomplish if rare often told to. “In the second place it is not true that it will be disastrous if traditional faith is lost..

It has torn down the bul- warks which we have been accustomed to cling to and has not yet been able to build stronger walls. “We are now. at the threshold of great scientific discoveries. Are you going to reject them because they do not coincide with a religion that was formulated two thousand years, ago? Would that be liv- ing after the example of Christ? He never asked you to reject truth. He gave us the faith to go on when science was not even born, and He will always be a d living example—one who showed us hot to:live with people in this world. But is it not perfect foolishness to expect a religion which was formulated long be- fore the dawn of science to be entirely acceptable 2000 years later? “Today many ministers are covering up the differences between science and religion. They give you-onlythat part which is compatible. with your faith. I have been talking to those of you who industriously cling to a belief in a future life and a God, on science will not accept. “I have till now been mostly destruc- tive. I have asked you to give a revolu- tionary argument its chance, but I have never asked you to throw aside all the teaching of Jesus Christ. I have only pointed out two aspects where Christian arguments seem groundless in the light life and belief in God’ ag Christ explained them, and as they are given by many advanced. theological, professors. “Now we must look forward, with head up and with courage. We must place our hope in future discoveries. Many promi- nent scientists believe that we may some day have proof of a future life. There are many biologists and psychologists who believe in an all-pervading spirit, but they can’t as yet prove it. “Incorporate into your philosophy of life this knowledge that has been gained concerning human nature—do not replace religion by science. If you do this won’t your life be far happier? You will then replace a shifting, shaking foundation, one open to criticism, with one of granite. “Do not look to the past. Look to the future.

Dr. Petty is Pastor of the Judson Memorial Church, _New York City, ; “The modern Christian needs to be something more inclusive than a mere individualist, liberalist, creedalist or mor- alist.

The only way to tell if Christianity can remedy the social mal- adjustment is to try it out as it has neve yet been tried out.

He achieved real dignity in the moment of the unveiling of Lady Teazle— this “Lady Teazle, by all that’s damnable” being rendered eloquently in voice and ges- ture. Charles and Maria, played by Miss Swift and Miss Adams, were admirably cast. Particularly noticeable in this fortu- nate pair was the beauty and grace of their voices and. reading of their lines. Charles’ great moments were those in which he begs “little Premium” to see that his ancestral portraits ‘are genteely conveyed from their old home—“for most of them, I assure you, were used to ride in their own carriages ;” in which he toasts these same portraiss ; finally in which he closes the play with one of those periods so dear to the shearts of the old school in drdéma. He was essentially the younger brother of fairyland—happy in temper, fortunate in love, gallant in bear- ing. Miss Adams’ Maria was done with much charm and subtlety. Here indeed was the. perfect jeune-fille—who can be the most tireséme of creatures, who in these able hands became. instinct with sophisti- cated simplicity. Around these couples the rest of the cast made a particularly fortunate group. Sir Oliver was played in. the farcical man- ner, and in that manner was excellent. Moses, the Jew, and Sir Harry Bumper achieved with their slight parts a geniine response from-the audience. Careless gave his famous song with spirit and charm, and contributed greatly to what was really a very effective drinking-scene.

The, insidious Snake, to whom is allotted the unenviable task of starting the play and giving the audience all the neces- sary information, was skillfully played by Miss Ling. ‘ It remains to discuss ‘three of the very interesting interpretations of the evening— those of Lady Sneerwell, Sir Benjamin Backbite, and Joseph Surface. Lady Sneer- well one cannot. praise unreservedly, ‘for when one considers her in relation to the rest of the cast, in relation to the School for Scandal,, as of course one thust: con- sider her, she seems to have been done in too sombre a key. She belonged, as inter- preted by Miss Grayson, not to comedy, but to tragedy. And yet this Lady Sneerwell was certainly developed accurately and ab- solutely from Sheridan’s: own words. She was malicious, yes, but, above all, anxious. Here we had a strangely harrowed Lady Sneerwell, whose gestures,whose eyes were full of suffering. Sir Benjamin, as acted by Miss Morse, was oneyof ‘the most able performances of the play. A true exquisite in bearing. and manner, this Sir Benjamin, with just enough ineffable silliness in his delivery of his own epigram, just enough ineffable malice in his description of the lady, “whose head is modern, while. the trunk’s antique.” Finally Joseph Surface, perhapg¢ the most challenging of the rdles of the School for Scandal, was played in a truly accomplished manner by Miss Lomas, The flexibility of voice, gesture, facial play, brought to this part was particularly notice- able. We shall remember for a long while the Joseph of this production—Joseph mask- ing with his hand the cruel smile as he goes noiselessly to, join the ladies at cards— arrogantly crossing for his final ‘exit, un- abashed in his defeat, still the courtly, the perfect hypocrite.

Winchester, "27, hurdling with beautiful form-and with great speed came in first with 9.35 seconds and E, Cushman, '26; H. Tuttle, ’28, and A. Matthew, ’27, tied for second place with’ 10 seconds. Clearing the ‘distance with little appar- ent effort, A. Talcott, ’28, won first place in, the standing broad jump at 6 ft. 114% in. while J. Luden, ’27, came second with 6 ft. 10% in. and F, Jay, '26, third with 6 ft. 10 in. E, Cushman, 26, won the running broad jump at 13 ft. 3 in., while E. Winchester, 27, hurling herself for- ward with pretty form got second place at 12 ft. 11% in. and H. Parker, '27, third at 11 ft. 11% in. oe ‘The hundred-yard dash was a very ex- citing event since B. Schieffelin, ’27, who ran easily, and H. Guiterman, '28, tying with G. Leewitz for first place, ran against each other in the second heat and were neck and neck ‘to the tape, which they crossed at 13.15 seconds. Ending the meet came perhaps the most thrilling event of the day, the relay race which was easily won by ’27. Starting swiftly, A. Newhall, ’27, outdistanced: the other Class runners, while H. Parker, '27, remained ahead and B. Schieffelin, '27, finished first in nice form.

Judge Florence Allen, Justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio and commence- ment speaker at Bryn Mawr _ this year, charged us to use our college “educations to obliterate the usual American fault of knowing only one side of the question. We should recognize facts as facts and exercise constructive criticism on our- selves* not only as individuals, but as a nation. For example, we should not deny —just because our gourts are American— the truth of Taft’s’ statement that -the criminal courts are a disgrace to the United States. Those courts are our courts and we are-responsiblé for them. In England a jury is empanelled in fofir minutes—and a good jury, too, wifile the United States takes nearly a week. The cases in Engldnd are finished in a month and in America in at least a year. And wherever there is such a delay there are more opportunities for injustice. Our greatest inheritance was the ex- periment to form a goyernment for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

It is as if a.man were standing on the moon with a pointer toward the earth, 250,000 miles away. The. shadow jis so timy that you can’t expect to see it just by standing still. Moreover, the shadow moves af such a tremendous speed that you can never hope to observe it for more than two minutes. So that if you devote your life to observing eclipses from one place, you Will cid up with~perhaps—fity mite utes of laboratory work on which to base all your theories.” Dr. Wright showed photographs take at New Haven, which proved that the sun is far larger than we think. Great stream- ers, which constitute what is known as the corona, project out for at least a mil- lion miles from the edge of the mo®n when it covers the central part of the sun. The corona can only be observed at eclipses and varies greatly each time. The streamers have some unknown connec- tion with the sunspots, since they ob- serve their regular periodicity of eleven years. A short time exposure showed the bril- liance ‘of the inner corona and the irregu- larities of the edge of the moon. A cloud of hydrogen, a speck on the corona, was revealed to be anywhere from ten to fifty thousands miles in width. How, after all this, are eclipses val- uuble to us? Principally, “because they teach us about the sun. Dr. Wright said that knowledge of our sun gives us a of the even greater it has been sun varies has clearer conception world beyond... Moreover, found: that the heat of the slightly. The Carnegie Institute founded two observatories which are able to predict with considerable accuracy the weather in the future from the slight change in the sun’s heat.
