LECTURES ON RIME OF ANCIENT MARINER Ann Shgble Memorial Lecturer Tells How Original Idea of Coleridge Grew POEM EMBODIES THEORIES > - - - Lowes, professor of Eng- John L, -—Jish-at-Harvard,-delivered-the Ann-Sheble}- Memorial: Lecture, speaking on “The Bird, the Daemon, and the Eternal Wanderer: A Chapter in the history of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” in be ae Hall last Friday evening. = “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” said Professor Lowes, “is not a tour dg force of the imagination, but compact of the fact and. thought of Coleridge’s time. It is in- stinct with Neo-Platonism and with the naively scientific spirit then prevailing. Coleridge-had a nebulous idea for a poem about an old navigatory Wordsworth stug- gested that the navigator kill an albatross and thereafter be punished by the spirits of its native land, which Coleridge makes a kind of supermundane place. Words- worth unlocked a storehouse of legend and superstition by his suggestion, for Cole- ridge’s mind was seething with Jewish and Oriental mysticism, because he had read deeply. in the Neo-Platonists of the Alex- 2 andrian period. Plotinus :and Porphirius, | and even more in the Renaissance Neo- Platonists, Fiemo, and Rico Mirandella, whose Caballa is almost an encyclopedia of mysticism. “Daemonology was a tremendously popu- lar subject at that time. People were deeply interested in the legend that there were supernatural invisible beings distributed among ‘the elements, and having the power Coleridge, at Wordsworth’s proposal of the spirits, ‘remembered the fable of these daemons, which belong to ‘the mystic region of the primal instinctive will to believe,’ and set out to deal with them in such a way as to give them reality. “The original conception of the old navi- gator was greatly changed by Wordsworth’s idea, Coleridge had read extensively , in *German literatére, which then interested itself largely in the legend of the Wander- ing Jew. Yet the Mariner is not the Wan- derer: by a subtle transfer he becomes a ‘new creation, though shrouded in all the mystery of this most ancient of legends. He has a semblance of truth which chal- lenges us to believe in him. “Coleridge had been planning a novel whose central character - was known only as the Unfathomable and whose preface was exactly like the wedding scene in “The Ancient Mariner.’ Wordsworth’s sugges- tion linked this idea to that of ¢ternal wandering as an expiation for crime. Gess- ner’s ‘Death of Abel’ interested Coleridge by its conception of Cain as a branded, hunted man. The- Mariner is influenced by it, yet the Mariner is not ‘Cain;-but an essentially new creation. “The beauty of ‘The Rime of* the An- cient Mariner’ springs,” Professor Lowes _said,.“from ‘the secret influence of the un- expressed.’ Investigation of the subtlety by. which this beauty is. achieved proves is not merely* a work of the imagination, but also the result of the varied intei&sts of Coleridge’s age and of his literary satin A - pe *. > ? 8 PN a adage Shs ate LABOR PARTY BRINGS UNIONS AND INTELLECTUALS TOGETHER Application to All Classes Tracing the rise of the Labor Party from the Renaissance and Reformation, Mr. Sid- ney F. Wicks, of the Manchester Guardian, told of its present position in the British Government, in Taylor, last Tuesday eve- ning. . r The Manchester Guardian, which Started at the death of Napaleon, with a policy of disseminating ideas, and formation of pub- lic opinion, helped the Liberal Party, which as the parent of the Labor Party, had started reforms... The extension of the franchise, finally to women, education, fac- tory acts, and to freedom of Ireland were the results of its work in this field. . There was a-religious zeal behind liberalism that still characterizes the movement, because the Anglo-Saxon wants not spiritual hair- splitting, but a practical application of Christianity to his needs, and therefore a libéral interpretation of the New Testa- ment. When liberalism faltered, and re- fused to take advantage of its victories over the House of Lords, the torch passed on to the younger, more vigorous party, which at a time of’ scepticism about the efficacy of diplomats, was unstained by diplomatic contact.

STEINER Chapel Speaker Stresses Necessity for Justice in Hate and Love —_—_—_—— “Dealing justly” involves intellect as well as emotion, said Dr. Edward Steiner, pro- fessor of Applied, Christianity at Grinnell College, in Chapel last Sunday evening. People, he continued, tend to be governed by bias rather than by fact; by hastily generalized impressions; by their inclina- tion to believe what they want to believe; by inheritance, training, surroundings, self- interest. “OR But to be just, a man must have -the courage of his convictions and_ the courage to face both sides of a question at the same time. Furthermore, in dealing justly the emotions of love and hate are necessary as well as logic. But we must love fairly; when we hate we must- hate justly and to a purpose; hating in our friends and in ourselves what we hate in our enemies, +) At.-this time intellectual ‘sina and just emotion are most needed, concluded Dr. © Steiner, that God¢may reveal Himself to us, : __ All those wishing to return to Sum- mer School this year as Recreation Leaders will please give their names to _M.

AN EMBASSY OF UNDERSTANDING * One of the: objections which lmborers make to the intellectuals who’ would work with them in their trade unions, is that the latter know, nothing about industrial conditions. this difficulty would be for students to go into industry themselves, but that is.usually | Here at Bryn Mawr a small. impossible. group is attempting another solution. At a Y. W. C. A. in one of the suburbs of ¢ Philadelphia is a club of working girls who meet during the week for cl&sses in psy- chology. The teacher is a woman whose ‘sympathies are with the working classes but whose interests and contacts are aca- demic. By her efforts these’ girls were persuaded to meet one week with a few Bryn Mawr undergraduates, and out of that meeting has grown a‘ bi-weekly group meeting of the industrial. and college girls to discuss trade unions, workers’ education, equal rights and so on.’ To the college girls the experience has been enlightening and inspiring. They have realized that industrial accidents to occur outside of economics text-books, that great numbers of people receive Jess than a living wage, that strikes are not the result of ‘mere perversity on the part of the strikers, and that the laboring classes have ideals and standards-as well as they. It is harder to see what the industrial girls obtain from the meeting, since they’ are on the whole better informed on economic matters than we are, Perhaps: their pleasure- comes from feeling thaf" they are enlisting fuitre . members of the capitalist class in their: cause. The great value to both groups, however, is the increase of understanding which results when persons with radically different backgrounds meet on a common ground to discuss questions which affect them all. oe Bios - af “THE MUTE INGLORIOUS” Our. ancestors maintained our inatienable right to. ‘liberty—shall we not uphold. the principle for which they fought and died?

Max Eastman thinks so. Successive gen- erations of us, brought up ‘on the “Gib- son girl” or the “Christy girl” or the ““Har- rison Fisher girl,” become blunted, and our ideals of feminine beauty are sadly preju- diced. There is a time-worn question, to wit, “what’s wrong with the picture?” trite, we grant, but still useful in its way. Unfortunately most of us never ask it in connection with magazine illustrations. We accept them placidly along with the placid virtues they represent. Mr. Eastman has summed up for us the chief of those quali- ties we idealize in our magazines. 1. Wistfulness in a pretty girl—indicated by arching her eyebrows clear ‘up into her hair. Adventurous although stylish athleti- ‘ cism in a young man—indicated in the jaws and pants. 3. Romance in the meeting of the two— indicated by his gazing upon the earth, she upon infinity. Pathos _of old age—indicated with bending knees or a market basket. 5. Sweet and divine innocence of chil- : dren—usually indicated in the stock- ings. His rennet are both exivptie: and en- assuredly it is what we get. Ninety-five per cent. of the illustrative material in magazines is utterly worthless from an ar- tistic point of view and yet we accept it and get a cheap sort B enjoyment out of it. What we nedd is a rfore strongly critical attitude towards those things which we accept in order to get pleasure. A good start could be made on the collegiate atti- tude toward magazine art. We scorn to use a good collegiate word, gupp writing— Why not gupp drawing ? Editors do not hold themselves silliest for optnions expressed in these columns. To the Editor of Tue Cotreck News: It seems time that a statement should be made summarizing the attitude taken by the college towards the Students’ Building. Otherwise the alumnae may get a wrong impression, and the cause of the building be greatly damaged. A luncheon was given about a week ago by Miss Marion Reilly, an alumna, at which were present President Park, Mrs. Chad- wick-Collins, several alumnae, the class presidents and most of the heads of the large associations and organizations—a group surely thoroughly representative of the opinions of the college. This group discussed very completely the whole matter of the Students’ Building, and.there was only one dissenting vote to the decision that the building was a very real, pressing and immediate need. ~ ‘Again as to the matter of diasuial of the May Day funds, this has already been taken up by the undergraduates, and a} motion passed that the money should be given to the Music Fund and Students’ Building Fund. Furthermore the biilding is not tobe any Elysian playground. It is to contribute > “hal simplest form, bn is Pro-} torium, with rooms under it’for a few of, the most important things., It is true that many. causes. in the world. are calling for our support, but we “should have no assur- ance that the,one hundred thousand dol- lars, just because they did not go to our fund, would’ go to one of these other causes. Besides, with this building, we shall be’ able to make money on»our activ- ities, instead of losing, and can then our- selves contribute to many of the things we feel worth while in the world at, large. It surely seems, now that the opinion of the college has expressed itself, and w® have already voted on the, disposal of .the May Day funds that the time for discuss sion has- passed. Should not the minority yield to the majority? : MARION ANGELL. To the Editor of the Cottece News: The issue recently raised as to the meth- -od--of using the--proceeds—of -May~Day- seems to me to concern a fundamental question as to the undergraduate state of mind, Can the always conservative Bryn Mawr student body be shaken out of its calm by a sudden decision to give the pro- ceeds of May Day to foreign relief funds? Will this impetus direct, the energies of the students to the help ‘of .the laboring classes and the organization wot strikes? The proceeds of May Day “would not do great things, but would help somewhat in foreign relief. So @lso in the Students Building Fund, we do not expect the gains calm by a sudden decision to give the pro- but we do need the publicity; The Alum- nae are working -with us, the classes of Bryn Mawr for many years have worked for the building. Have we the right to refuse our share in this work now?—for giving May Day: for some other cause would retard the publicity for the Students Building by four years. _ The. need for the Students Building has made it something more than “a pleasant and harmless addition to the campus.” Possibly the auditorium would not include seats for an appreciably larger number of people but a room in which comfortable seating and a real possibility of seeing and hearing in something beside.-the- first few rows would be, I should say, more .cer- tainly filled. Moreovér, the sure way in which to draw large and paying audiences is to give better plays. - This becomes more and more difficult, for Bryn Mawr, with its inadequate lighting system and stage, cannot hope to compete with better equipped amateur companies. In “ these days of de luxe Little Theatres we are still working with the equipment of twenty years ago. It was thén possible to produce a play with simple: settings, it ‘lis true, but these simple settings have fallen apart after long wear and tear, and it is the construction of new settings to replace them which is expensive. Nor can any simplification of scenery remove the large initia} cost_ of the erection of the stage. Furthermore, the time is very sanidie approaching when it will be excessive to ask the Associations to function without proper offices and filing accommodations. Records which must be preserved are in- creasing every year and there is literally no place in which they may be kept at present. Respectfully, PAMELA Coyne, 724. To the Editor of THE News: em whole question of the significance sas which it should hold i in college life | has been raised in the recent. discussion of whether or not the president of the Asso- en n should, ex officio, be chairman of ‘Tae News takes sine in arnounc- “tng. the section dt KC, Siaiénds; 27 and Men # the Eidhorial Boar. FS and. will introduce sthe speakers, the Curriculum Committee. At the last meeting a motion that the chairman of cil, was passed; presumably on the grounds that a person suitable to be: President of the Undergraduate Assogiation might not always be an_ effective chairman of the Curriculum Committee, and that surely the position entails too much work for the president. As regards the last reason, Miss ReQua has already explained that it is not suffi- ciently important to be made an_ issue. The whole matter _ resolves itself, then, into the more significant question as to which arrangemerit ‘will have the ‘more beneficial effect upon the future of both Curriculum Committee. If the Undergraduate President is auto- matically the chairman of the Committee, she will be elected with this fact in view, chosen, not only for the qualities gener- ally considered in all college elections, but also for an active interest in the academic work in college.’ This would result in our having at least one of our four associations directly connected with the aspect of col- lege lifg which is actually the most im- portant one. And in consideration of the number of unacademic activities and in- terests which occupy our'time and tend to divert our attention from college work; this. surely seéms an vend worth striving for. VirGINIA Lomas. To the Editor of THe Cottece News:. While a sense of values is undoubtedly a desirable possession, ° steadfastness ot purpose is an equally desirable one. It has been decided, after careful consideration, to give the proceeds of May Day toward the Students’ Building Fund and the Music Department. It would show the weakness of cause of the fresentation of a new object of charity which seems worthy of dona- tion. No matter how long we might defer the final culmination of the plans for Students’ Building there would. always be a new cause to which our money might conceiv- ably be diverted. There are so fnany worthy causes in the world! It is a serious question. whether or not such a use of May Day proceeds as has been suggested would bring an enthusiastic response from our prospective subscribers. Such an ‘object might not have—shall we say, quite a universgl appeal? ~ But the very fact that we have accumu- lated fifty ‘thousand dollars ghows what can, and will, be done for the Students’ Building. (And once it is built any number to the world’s betterment.) Having come so far, let us not go astray! > Auice G. W111, ’26. SCIENTIFIC EXOAVATOR TO SPEAK ON MYCENAE Dr. Alan J. B.

Electrons are pictured in the new physics in which everything is reducible to pro- tons and electrons as almost knowing what was expected of them and responding as best they were able. There is a disagfee- ment between the chemiist ‘who Says the electron is still and the physicist who de- clares it to be whirling about its nucleus [ with a velocity half that of light. Many theories were shattered by the equations of Einstein, among them that. of the inde- structibility of matter and the conception of anything as solid. A gram of anything, according to Dr. Berg, has as much po- tential energy as eight and a half mil- lion pounds of coal. The danger here lies in the fact that release of such energy * would be uncontrollable. Bohr, accepting the work on the atom by Rutherford, managed to change the] orbit of an electron by bombarding the atom with just the right charge from a - radio tube. The atom did not take the charge, but energy, thus swelling its orbit. The simplification of physics is its. debt to Einstein, who has incorporated his the- ories into ten differential equations. His three basic assumptions are that things look different to people in different posi- tions, that equations that apply to motion should. apply to immobility, and the velocity of light in free space. To him there is no force of gravitation.

WINSTON co. 1006-1016 ARCH STREET, PHILADELPHIA THE COLLEGE NEWS NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES Final examinations bring forth comment ‘at Hunter College and the Universities of Nebraska and Georgia, The following resolutions were presented to council and signed by forty students as propositions changing the method of final term examinations. ; We, the undersigned students of Hunter College, propose. to the Student Council, who will kindly dake it up with the student body and faculty, as a substitute for the present method of concentrated examina- tions and other ‘established regulations, the following plan: « 1. For reviews during the term there should be periodic discussions, followed by written quizzes, 2. For final review at end of term, one week should be put aside for a general, class discussion covering the term’s work. In a subject where a final discussion is not possible, the periodic quizzes during the term will suffice. (a) In case. of written English where weekly themes are brought in, no periodic or end-term examination should be given. (b) In subjects such as appreciation of opera, art, or physical training, interest and appreciation should be fostered rather than the ability to pass an examination on the topics. 3. In subjects, where discussions are warranted, there should be several open forums during the term and ho mark should be given for the opinions or ideas adyocated. . ; There is a revolution going on among college students and faculties to abolish final examinations. At the University of Nebraska exami- nations ‘will not be given in the future. The students as well as the faculty have decided that the examinations customarily given at the close of the term are getting to be a test of endurance rather than a fair test of the knowledge gained during the school term. The ultimate object of “the new system is to bring about a more uniform system of study throughout the student body. Every student will be com- pelled to study a reasonable amount of time throughout the term, and it will be useless for any individual to absorb the entire text-book on the night before the final test. ‘ There is a strong movement under way among the upper classmen at the Univer- sity of Georgia to eliminate final examina- tions. A petition is being circulated for doing away with all term exams for juniors and seniors, and substituting daily or weekly tests in each subject. The sug- gested change has met both support and opposition from the students 'and teachers of the University. The Daily Californian is ingsize and sub- ‘stance very similar to a — city news- paper and contains from four to six pages daily. Not only does it print the news of the University, but also receives reports of the United News; so the late news of the day is published in the University paper as soon as in any city publication. An- other similarity to the city newspapers is that it also runs. page advertisements. A nation-wide collegiate referendum on the Prehibition Amendment is the present undertaking of the Yale Daily News and the Harvard Crimson. In order to make the vote as representative as possible, over one hundred colleges all over the country have beeri asked to participate in the poll- ing. One college paper in each state has been appointed to handle the ballot in its own state.._Eighteen colleges in Massa- chusetts, ‘including Wellesley, have been isked to hold votes on the subject of pro- the majority of students are in favor of rigi¥ enforcement of the present amend- hibition, with a view to deciding whether |. ment, whether they would prefer to repeal the law, or whether they would advocate some sort of modification. The ballot reads: 1 Do you favor an amendment to the Constitution repealing the present Pro- hibition Amendment? 2 Do you favor modification of the Vol- stead. Act to permit the sale of light wines and beers? 3 Do you favor more rigorous enforce- ment of the Prohibition Amendment and the Volstead act, to make Prohi- bition an actuality ? FELLOWSHIPS IN SOCIAL WORK . OFFERED TO STUDENTS From the School of Social Work comes the following notice, of possible interest to ‘| Seniors. “The New York School of Social Work is offering fellowships for the study of social work -to twelve men and women in the colleges and universities of the United States, according to an announcement made public by the Director of the School, Porter R.

Dr. Cizek, the head of the school, has no methods, in the acceptes, sense, said Miss Skinner, for he is not a teacher. When asked for the cause of the beautiful work of the children, ‘he says, “1 take the lid off; most teachers put it on. ,The children éx- press themselves.” There are 50 or 60 al- unselected, rich and poor alike, fee. fall out, others come in., At the beginning of the class - Dr. Cizek may set a subject, then give hints and talk with the children to get what he calls the “Stimmung.” They all together, for there is no As some have different conceptions, in the end,. of the same subject and go at the work un- aided except for a few suggestions.. At the end of the class the pictures are all hung up on the wall and Dr. Cizek criticizes them in terms that the children may understand ; he is a real artist and withal,.a psychologist of great understanding, and encourages in different ways the three stages of art which appear in children: first, the scribbling period, up to five, then the primitive, un- selfconscious stage from five to twelve and finally the more selféonscious and critical period to sixteen when the full talent, if there is any, appears.

He thinks to find it inthe love-of a woman, in the lux- The woman fools him for money, and the luxury of the court only masks a tyrant’s whims. In the course of the play, Rafi, a youth of heroic impulse, conspires against the Sultan to avenge his love, Pervaneh, once snatched for the Sultan’s harem. The c8n- spiracy fails. Love and a tortured death are weighed against life and separation, in the choice of punishment. Rafi and Per- vdneh choose their ideal only to find that after death their disembodied spirits are blown to separation and forgetfulness.

Her subject will probably be Pirandello and the Italian Stage. In the elections Maraquita Villard, ’27, was made president, K. Tompkins, ’26, vice-president and V. Lomas, ’25, secretary. There was informal music in Wyndham on Tuesday evening.

She is one,of the first women to have held the Bourse du Tour du Monde for a year of travel and study, and has come to America every year for ten years, lec- turing to collegiate and political audiences. On March 15th Mademoiselle Clément spoke before the League for Political Edu- cation, in New’ York, stating, according to the New: York Tribune, that the. greatest thing America had done for France ‘since the war was to send General Dawes to the Reparations Commission and that the greatest thing she could do. for the peace of Europe would be to join the League of Nations. The three main causes for the present difficulties, she continued, were the refusal of the Allies to fix a definite sum for the Germans to pay, the failure of the Versailles Conference to- settle war debts and the refusal of the United States to give its power and moral support to the League of Nations. f A syngposium on Marcel Proust, to which the Nouvelle Revue Frangaise devoted a whole number, and his works have been placed on the New Book Room table. from the Chauve-Souris.
