SYMBOLIC ART WAS Byzantine painting was the subject on which M. Gabriel’ Millet, of the % ecole des hautes etudes of the Sor- bonne, gave an illustrated lecture in French under the auspices of the His- tory of Art Department. “The fourteenth century is one of the least known and richest periods of this art,” he began. This was the moment when the Occident and the Orient influenced each other. Until a few years ago it was thought that -Byzantine art was . immobile, never changing, that it reached its height in the thirteenth century, and that the fourteenth century -was a period of decadence. But M. Millet had seen paintings of the fourteenth century in Mistra, which showed living ‘architecture and elegant figures. In 1906 he visited old Serbian Scopie, where he saw great churches, known ' to have been built by the Emperor Milutine, who for a few years in the fourteenth century reigned . over a large empire. : Presents Great Problem. Byzantine art presents a great prob- lem. It was the first Christian art modeling itself on ancient art, and always symbolic, as can be seen in the - Catacombs, where one finds abstract representatigns of scenes from the Old Testament, ideal, abstract, conven- tional, ° longer a secret organization, but the ruling power, the great savants who knew antique art realized that paint- ing is a language, and -consequently they used it to convéy Christian teach- ‘ings to the people. ¢ We. have manuscripts of this time, particularly the Vienna Genesis, which show the method of these later artists. They were not content to portray the stories of the Old Testament as they were related, but added to them, mak- ing pictures notable for emotion, action and imagination, together with. con- siderable realism.

FITCH TALKS ON , MODERN CODES Conflicting Loyalties Are Cause of Trouble. “The problem of goodness” was the subject that the Rev Albert Parker Fitch discussed in Chapel on Sunday, Decem- ber 5. If we-can achieve goodness, he said, we will get enduring satisfaction; all of us, young and old, we really want to be good, although some of us hide it. ~ In the end of Lockhart’s Life of Scott, he tells how the “gentlemen survived the - genuis” at the end; Scott’s last words to his son-in-law, were “Be a good man, nothing else will help us at the end.” Of course other things do help; the creation of something beautiful or great, any worthy achievement of one’s life; but there is no great beauty without’ ethical restraint behind it. The Venus de Milo, the Cimabue Madonna in the Louvre, must have learnt the lesson of selfless- ness. : a Loose Use of Terms, is Trouble. Although we all inwordly admire good- ness, it is something we find very diffi- - cult to achieve. The chief difficulty is the loose thinking about’ those two im- 4 portant terms, “character,” and “dissi- pation.” We no longer use our language as gentlemen; we tinge it with sentimen- tality and the grotesque. In the correct sense, a person who has character is one who lives by a. definite code, who has a of life. We use it for people PAGE 5 ee ‘Shows When the church became no} -|some way be classified.

Winchester. we By drop quizzes mean those courses in which the class can derive full profit from the lectures or discus- sion only by a fairly regular prepara- tion of the work assigned. We as- sume that the assignments are under- stood to’ be due at certain specific dates, and that in no quiz will the students be held responsible for work not yet due. While we recognize see drop quizzes may cover the entire course to date, we prefer to confine our discussion to the type which includes only the material treated in lectures, discussion, or outside reading since the last quiz. Barometer and Incentive. Perhaps the most obvious argument tn favor of the drop quiz system is that it enables the professor to see how regularly the students are doing the work, and how well they have under- stood what they have learned. It. is perfectly just for the instruetor to expect his students to be able to take a quiz which will show them how far and how well they have progressed, and, at the same time, will point out to him the extent to which his assign- ments have been understood, followed out and performed.

SMALL COMMITTEES TO REMAKE RULES Resslution V to Be Reworded in Pursuit of Com- promise. BI-MONTHLY MEETINGS At a meeting of the Self-government Association, M. i Jones that only two mass meetings a month would be necessary to remake the rules instead of the two a week announced last time. The first important discussion of the evening centered upon the method by which the reform is to be accomplished. Two plans were put forward;- one, to have the Board act as a committee on proceedure and to submit subjects to the} general meeting for discussion. If the meeting was at once agreed, a motion would be passed. If the discussion seemed to be getting involved, the question was to be referred to a committee clected for the purpose, The second plan, was to have a central committee prepare a whole plan in ad- vance and present it a large meeting for distussion and posible adoption. It was claimed that interest would lag and the meetings become no more repre- sentative than a central committee if the first method were adopted. Opponents of this ‘plan stated that discussion must come before framing of resolutions or the committee would not be informed of The plan, in the opinion of J. Young, ’28, speaking for November President, on 23, 94 at, _ announced the Board, would defeat its own purpose : “We want the college to feel it has made the rules, not that they have been handed down ‘to it.” ‘ F. DeLaguna ’27, suggested that the Board. in the first plan, would be just such a committee, presenting the subjects for discussion. D. Meeker, ’27, stated, “The central committee would be efficient, but people as a whole would be thinking less. The first plan woult be less efficient but more effective.” Aftea/a good deal of very heated argu- ment, the first plan w@s accepted.

Carey’ Thomas to which is taking place this week. Miss Thomas, the originator and constant patron of the school, was her- self the first speaker, and was intro- duced, ‘by N. Chester, ’27, who, as chairman of the: Undergraduate Sum- mef School Committee, acted as master of ceremonies. Miss Thomas spoke as follows: ' Summer School Part of Flood Tide. “The summer school has_ recently completed its fifth year. ‘Its continued success is but one of the ‘indications that it is part of a rising tide in human affairs which has become manifest in the years since the war—the movement for the education of adult workers,” When’ Miss Thomas ‘was abroad in 1919-20 this educational movement _was already beginning in © England ‘and Scotland; even in Syria and -Egypt, in Japan and Palestine the women ex- pressed a desire for free undenomina- tional education. But along with this widespread want one felt at that time the difficulty of its fulfillment. After the war many women were obliged to feo to work under conditions which seemed to preclude the possibility of their having either time or strength for study. Z Idea Born in Sahara. It was in the same year that Miss Thomas, filled with a sense of thése difficulties, first. conceived the idea of the summer school while crossing a corner of the Sahara desert with a camel caravan. The afterglow of the sunset: which suddenly illumined the desert seemed a symbol of the way in | which the right kind of education can fill with light the dark places in the minds of individuals and in the general social consciousness; and it occurred to Miss Thomas that it was the duty CONTINUED ON THE SEVENTH PAGE PLAYERS PRESENT TWO FRENCH PIECES M. Villard’s Translations Achieve Great Success. The players are still majoring in French. Gringoire of Theodore de Ban- ville and Heaven and Hell, by Prosper Merimee, opened the season in Wyndham music room last Saturday afternoon, thus following the groduction last spring of Merimee’s Etruscan Vase. Evidently the players have thrown off the eighteenth century and the Grand Manner, inculcat- ed by their leaders of 1925, the era of Varsity Dramatics’ School for Scandal, with The Rehearsal of Vittiers and last fall Farewell the Kersey Coat. The per- formances of Saturday, especially in the fine, charming translations of Mariquita Villard, ’27, quite justified the change of course. . Beginning three seasons ago, with the bay-window of Wyndham, one little spot- light, and several yards of factory cloth, for equipment, and the production . of interesting plays, especially plays by undergraduates, as their policy (for they were conventional enough. to have. a policy), the players have quietly gone on, acting staging and directing for small, in- vited audiences and a larger public. They have perfectly demonstrated the ad- vantages of unorganization and deorgani- zation. Today, only three of the original group remain, but their theatre flourishes. Of the setting, the roast goose of Grin- | goire’s banquet was the marvelous detail. eco moze in this Ado: 10 CENTS” RECEPTION YIELDS CON CRETE IDEA OF SUMMER SCHOOL. . lined before an enthusiastic audience in inaugurate the Summer School, Drive ° ; Pw The College News bs Se eared “ae H.

WEEK-ENDS A LA MODE “The old order changeth, yielding place to new.”’ How correct, in their less original moments, even poets can be! And the familiar old line never held truer than as regards the changing fashion in week-ends. Last year, to get away from college; to be seen outside of classes, as- seldom as possible; to avoid, particularly, the awful solemnity of Sunday din- ner, were the outstanding ideas of the ambitious young college girl. If “you were not asked to a Prom or football game, some distant relative or old friend» of your mother’s would be raked up; you were will- ing to accept any invitation from friend or foe—just so long as. it took you away from the “venerable walls, for some part of the time between one-thirty on Friday and eight-thirty Sunday evening. If you aspired at all to fhe heights of fash- ionable conventionality, you took care to have some escape always planned ; but occasionally, by some unavoidable slip, like a death in the family you intended to visit, or a shortage of funds on your part, you found yourself stranded in college. Then, sad indeed was your plight, for unbelieveable loneliness was visited upon you. ‘The hall corri- dors re-echoed hollowly to your footsteps ; the library chairs held out sad, empty arms; except for the centipedes, you were alone—and oh, _ how alone! . But this year, we hear that while eek-ends are still popular. with the ninitidted, it is becoming a little more “the thing,” a trifle more re- _cherche among the extreme leaders in fashion, the creme de la creme, . those exclusive few who are always a little ahead of Paris, to take quiet week-ends of rest at college. Such an original, quaint idea! And how restful! It gives one time to think! And it makes a pleasant change from the continual rushing in vogue last year. While we might seem far too radical to. suggest that such a custom ever become universal there is always that possibility and we should not be surprised if, in visiting college in 1940 (to take our German oral), we should find the students returning on Saturday to rest after their midweék activities. THE BABBITS OF BANBURY Some weeks ago’ the New York Times published an article on Ban- bury Cross which is of interest, surely, to all the imaginative Eng- lish-speaking world. There are’ few people in America who have had the good fortune to actually see Banbury Cross, but who has not, as a child, ridden there in dreams? One must feel sorry for the. child who has..missed the joy -of being carried around the nur- sery on some doting relation’sback to the tune of “Ride a cock horse Mi To Banbury Cross, To see a fine lady pon a white horse, rings on her fingers a | Geld, an allied field, as well as a nar- co fic, Moreover, ,they say, it is not the original Cross, but is merely erected on or near the spot Where that once stood. . my ~ -America has alfays been accused of,"destroying beauty for the sake of progress, but’ even in America we have our village squares With far less picturesque or historical statues standing, unmolested, in their cen: ters. Can it be that the citizens of Banbury are striving to emulate one of our greatest faults under the de- lusion that it is a-virtue? If so, we should hasten to rise up and ‘join |England in its protest against such foolishness. The writer*to the Times has _|drawn a very touching picture of distress which: would — occurs the among the nursery rhyme folk ; the beautiful lady of Banbury Cross riding to her execution, followed by a train of weeping ¢ompanions, Mother Goose, Little Boy Blue, The Dog, The Cat, and The Fiddle, Old King Cole, The Mouse that ran up the clock, and a host of others. Fancy the distress in nurseries all ove the world when the news got out that Banbury Cross was no more. : But more than this would hap- pen, something which the Times failed to mention. America has al- ways looked to England as the pre- server of traditions; we are as yet too young a nation to have many. And so London Bridge, The Tower, Big Ben, and Banbury. Cross are as much American traditions as they are English. Before the citizens of Banbury tear down their one claim to fame, let them consider that they will be condemned not only by their own people, but by all the English- speaking world as well. “HONORS” A system of honors courses re- sembling that of English universities is receiving consideration from an increasingly large number of col- leges. In some places it is already in force, in others, it is proposed for next year. For example, the student curriculum committees at Mt. Holy- ‘oke and at Haverford, the Barnard Bulletin informs us, are “urging a better opportunity for taking honors, and that certain academic privileges be accorded high-grade work.” Barnard itself is experimenting with honors. Northwestern University is offer- ing a modified-form of honors. In- dependent study in their major sub- ject i8 to be fostered in certain stu- dents who have shown sufficient qualifications. These students are to be exempt from regulation class attendance and from regular exami- nations. ‘They will be given a com- prehensive examination at the end of the senior year. At Smith, the Swarthmore Phoe- nix tells us the system works in this wise: “At the end of her sophomore year, a student having a general average of B, or exceptional grades in a particular department, may read for honors. If approved she begins reading intensively under special in- structors. Examinations are given over the entire period of two years work, and a thesis is exacted. Those honoring in French, spend a year abroad studying.” ane Douglass Orr, ex-'27, from the University of Nebraska, describes the honors courses at Swarthmore :] “About 50 juniors ‘and seniors read for honors, being admitted at the be- ginning of the junior year with a B averdge. ‘The work is done in a minor, a two hour seminar every two weeks, a major, a two-hour seminar every week, and a special topic, also with a two-hour seminar every two weeks. The freedom from classes and lectures, while it means much more time for reading widely, and’ thoroughly, does not mean a lack of guidance and super- vision; we are responsible to a board of examiners from other colleges who will question us at the end of two years. Honors work offers a chance for picking out an interesting ro jor and: ° . oo ¢ ‘ « , : x and so in the position to get a good job. ‘They are trying to get away back to.scholarliness.

THE CHANGING SEASON . The first fall of snow 1s an event that should not be allowed to pass unnoticed in an otherwisé quiet week. On Friday, December 3, at four o’clock the first flakes stole timidly down from a winter sky. At about the same time the jury for the Hall-Mills case at last brought in a verdict of not guilty. A thought- ful mind might see a connection be- tween the two. A year ago, at any rate, the first blizzard blew on Hallowe’en and the witch’s traditional broom was chang- ed for a snow shovel. But this fall all the usual occasions for snow were passed up. Football Satur- days came and went, a new genera- tion of turkeys fattened and fell, even the Queen of Rumania sailed for home, and still the seasons held their hand. But when at length the heat of argument in the New Jersey ‘court house cooled into ashes the gods relented. With the snow for a_winding-sheet the dead past was allowed to bury its dead, and Willie and the pig woman and the rest of them passed into obscurity. - The last event of the autumn is therefore-over, and winter has real- ly come. Time to count your change and your little nephews and get ready for an expedition to Wana-, maker’s toy department. Midyears will be along in a few weeks, but thank heaven, Christmas —- comes first ! : ADVERTISE! The opening song of one of Broadway’s biggest hits of the sea- son is entitled “It Pays to Adver- tise” —a slogan which a great many peoplemight— profitably adopt. In the song mentioned, the advertising is confined to purely material things such ‘as garters and the gifts God gave you. But consider how it might be applied in a much broader sepise. @iever since man first conceived of the idea, people the world over have acknowledged the benefits of adver- tising; their only fault has been limiting it. And yet the first adver- tising that was ever done was not concerned primarily with material things; when the serpent boomed the apple in the Garden of Eden, he did not stress its health qualities ; Eve and Adam were not interested in keeping the doctor away. But they were interested in acquiring knowledge, as soon as the serpent had informed them of their lack of it. And herein lies the secret of all good advertising ; to make people aware’ of- what they haven’t and to make them wish they had it. Examples of what advertising can do to one are innumerable ; you have only to read the magazines to realize the apalling number of lives that would be ruined without Pepsodent or saxophones or Listerine. Now imagine the effects it might produce if applied to some of the things which at present it overlooks; for example, education. This is to some extent advertised, but in noth- ing like the way it might be. —_- College courses, especially, offer a tncdbdattsh field for publicity. There are any number of systems which might be followed, but perhaps the simplest would be for professors to print posters which could be placed in conspicuous places around the campus. Think how attendance would be increased in the various from ‘mass standardized education} * | being the first Labor. candidate for Par- Before long the athletic fields and dance floots would be deserted. — Education;* of course, is not the only thing which might profit by ad- vertising.. Individuals ought to take Lit up; this would. silence forever all talk about supression and inferior- ity. complexes. It would also be a great help. to hostesses, when plan- ning a party, to be able to step out- side the door and consult such pos- ters as these: “Try Cissy Centipede’s Table Talk,” or “M. Smith, Dancer de Luxe, No Party Is Complete Without Her.” These are only a few. suggestions. But. with the infinite possibilities now open to advertisers it is posi- tively. heart breaking to listen to those unenlightened souls . who would. do away: with sign boards forever." Why! who knows? Sign ‘boards may prove to be the. salva- tion of the world. We=:should be careful of coridemning a thing until we have studied its possibilities from all angles. ENGAGED D. Lee, 25, to G.

Daily tooth-brush inspection would surely encourage correct habit formation. You will certainly agree in this, after your noble campaign against the deplorable bath situation among -the freshmen: I should recommend at least three required baths a week for all under- graduates, upperclassmen included. At- tendance \at meals might be advisable, and perhaps also a limitation of the amount—of—food-each- student-may—pur- chase between meals.

Those of us who still believe in shod@+ But we still believe that it is worth the trouble; and it is hardly fair to judge by one night’s performance. We are trying out this technique for. the first time. ‘Meanwhile we would suggest two ways by which the pro- ceedings of the next meeting could be very much simplified. First, have your motions cledrly in mind before you come. That shouldn’t be so hard when the business is posted a week beforehand. At the last meet- ing only one person, F. de.; Laguna, had her motion definitely. worded. But as we were then dealing with our most, difficult problem, the only abstract one in the book, it was inevitable that there should be conflict of ideas. The busi- ness before -the next meeting is much simpler. — For instance, there is te question of quiet hours. Do you want any quiet hours at all? If so, where? Do you approve of fines for punish- ment of violations, and, if not, what penalty would you substitute? Talk it over with your friends beforehand and come to the meeting with your motion already planned. Then the discussion will have something defi- nitely to go on and a cenclusion may be. reached which will satisfy the ma- jority without having to refer the matter to a committee. Which brings us to gur second point. If the question is referred to a com- mittee, why not stop there? The last time we passed elaborate senses of the meeting to be sure that the committee would know what we thought. the committee will probably know that anyway, i are careful to elect people who*have been present. Be- sides, the resolutions need not be ac- cepted, if we don't like them. Finally, if the present method does prove unworkable, we can always re- consider our‘ decision, and have a central committee after all. The new method is merely an. inductive experi- ment, and we. don’t know what we shall find at the end of it. However, we have pledged ourselves to try it, and it is up to us to prove that we stand behind our word. Those of us who believe in democracy and self- government must back up our belief by constructive interest. It may be that in the end we shall have to dis- card this plan, but let’s give it a fair trial first! ae Beatrice R. Simcox, ’27. EvizaBetH C. Stewart, '28. Marcaret GREGSON, ’28.

Increasingly he has doubted youth’s willingness to be serious. Now, in Young Anarchy, he decides that youth ss all right. The great test was put to English youth in the general strike, and they were equal to it, throwing themselves into the breach with all the devotion and eagerness with which their elder brothers went off to war, 12 years before. They abandoned their pretense of indiffereyge, their preoccupation with amusement, and did the work that had to be done with intense enjoyment, with enthusiasm. Young élegants heaved coal, drove busses, ran trains; girls did heavy work in canteens from morning to night. It is splendid comfort for Sir Philip that he believes that youth has proven itself ready to assume its burden and make over the world. But the general strike seems a slight test on which to base so much confidence. After all, every one knew -that it could not last long; it was a new amusement fof the gay young people, ‘only another tredsure hunt. One Pubts’ whether many.of them went into it primarily to serve their country, con- sciously aligning themselves with law and order, in opposition to Labor, temporarily and disastrously led astray by Commu- nist influence. And Sir Philip’s new- found optimism takes no count of the situation England has yet to face, and the class conflict which prevents her from united effort at reconstruction. Unquestionably, however, the general strike did constitute a turning point in the lives of the characters in Young Anarchy. They lost doubt and fear and self-consciousness in the joy of serving England. They found the happiness which they had been seeking and for want of which they had fallen into so many extravagances. It is an enormously interesting picture of England that one finds in Young Anarchy. ‘The scene is crowded with amiliar types, amusingly and cleverly characterized. There is the stern Bishop, type of English reaction, utterly wrong and illiberal in all his convictions, yet admirable for clearness of mind, tenacity and courage; his sister, a middle-aged Englishwoman who goes on taking care of soldiers after the war, concentrating tween them, e America is*the only country. with a race problem simply because other | nations make a distinction, not of color, but of breeding and culture. In Nigger Heaven Mr. Van ‘Vechten deals with the Negro problem, particu- larly in New York. His characters are drawn from Harlem, almost entirely from the intellectual or rich classes.. His aim, apparently, is to present a true and vivid impression -of a group of people about whom practically nothing is known. He shows. the almost unsurmountable obstaclés which are placed in the path of the Negroes in this country, and the courage and philosophy with which they strive to overcome them. His, main characters—Mary Love, an exccedingly well-educated, intelligent, ‘but underpaid young librarian; Byron Kas- son, a weak-willed, imaginative, young Wwould-be-author, and Lasca, a rich, beau- tiful, but highly sensuous demi-mondaine —are brilliantly drawn and endowed with a vital, living force. The minor charac- ters, likewise, are real and forcible. The Scarlet Creeper, a particularly unpleasant person, moves across the beginning and the end of the story with cat-like, sinister grace. Mary’s father, the kindly, lovable old minister, also has a brief but effective appearance. But perhaps the most amaz- ing character in the book is Byron’s father, who never appears on the scene in person, but from a letter which he writes to his son one gets a glimpse of a strong, understanding and just man. There is no fault to be found with Mr. Van ,Vecfiten’s portrayal of the charac- ters which he has chosen, and this only makes it all the more annoying that he should place them in such a slovenly and weakly-handled plot. The prelude to the book, which serves to introduce the Scar- let Creeper and also to give the back- ground for the following chapters, cannot but revolt the fastidious reader, It has, however, very little bearing on the rest of the book, which is an account of the lives of Mary and Byyon, their love for each other, Byron’s Subsequerit fascina- tion for Lasca and, finally, his attempt to return to Mary after Lasca has thrown him over. i Although one feels some pity for Byron in, the end, when his despair and bitterness, already almost unbearable, are augmented by his fear of arrest for a murder which he did not commit, never- theless the chief. impression which he leaves is that of a rather stupid: and maudlin weakling. Nearly all one’s sym- pathy is reserved for Mary, ‘who loves oaceadel — all her efforts for their welfare; her BARBARA LEE Oxford-bred nephew, who rebels against | his father’s strictness .and stands for ; ous Parliament lees ; his sister, who to her own surpris€ and to the surprise : Fairfield of all her friends, without any experience at all, writes the.novel of. the year; the fiery young miner, who, educated at Ruskin Collége, intensely class conscious, is convinced that the only pbssibility of getting justice for workers lies in organi- zation, no matter how misguided the leaders of organized labor in England have recently shown themselves to be.

It is some consolation that, although Mr. Van Vechten leaves out all quotation marks, he does, at least, leave in the more important forms of punctua- tion. With people like Gertrude Stein at large one should be grateful for even the slightest consideration. Overlooking the style, however, and considering only the characters, Nigger Heaven. offers a fasci- nating field 6f study. And, moreover, it would be well worth while for every educated person to read it, if only to get an apparently true impression of Harlem, especially as this so-called “Mecca of the New Negro” is coming more and more to affect American history. | COATS, DRESSES, HATS 8) gE.

Her story, told by the boy, Sammy, who was born in prison, is the mos convincing autobiographical fiction we have ever read. Its underlying sincerity at Mr. Lord ‘has been for many years in a police commissioner’s office in New York, and there has had an opportunity to study is probably\dhe to the fact Even the. chapter headings are intriguing—“ Must Microbes Have.

Mrs. Nesbitt, William’s wife, is a mother of the old school, ‘sensible and loving, but making ofboth her love and her sense weapons to ‘afflict her family. Her sympathy, if not her, love, ends when she finds her guidance unheeded and the principles she has. inculcated disregarded by her chil- dren. s ° William ig the ideal—one who would like to thigk the, new type of parent, directing his bfood when he can do, so inoffensively, understanding and 'mékingy the best of them when they get beyond his .control.

The point of view is not a new one, ‘but its acceptability niust always depend on the particular ‘taste of the author who upholds. Fortu- nately. for William Mr. Young’s taste, to bie, at least is impeccable; and his feeling for the quieter back-yard beauties of nature and the pleasant, perhaps a little snobbish, satisfaction which an jntelligent man derives from the contemplation of his fellow-men is truly delightful. se lL. + - ° —_——- PESSIMISM TRIUMPHS The Sun Also Rises, by Ernest Hem- ingway. Charles Scribner’s Sons. The source of the title of this book, the “vanity of vanities” passage in Ecclesi- astes, is the highest poetical expression of the disheartening conclusion to which Hemingway’s story leads. The Biblical passage is quoted by way of preface or a summary of the work in order to prove the similar timelessness of the thought in both and to show the extreme divergence of its interpretation in two utterly dif- ferent ages. The Sun Also Rises is a tale of de- graded characters leading a vagabond life, who magnify its futility by their perverse views and increase the causes of their 1f{-humiliation by prolonging their_un- The ultimate turn- ing toward good that one finds in Dos- toievsky’s novels, for example, is absent here.

Almost the imposible has been achieved in this so-called “musical version of the life of Jenny Lind.” Here is‘a pure play which is not pale. You may take your smallest cousin, your best swain of your greatest great-aunt to The Nightingale C a yourself, "As can be easily imagined, this para- doxical situation is not due to Peggy Wood,but to the excellent comedy of Stanley Lupino and Violet Carlson. “When this pair appears, the audience in- stinctively settles back or leans forward —according to temperament—for another big moment. We’ hereby beg *Mr. Lu- pino to’ add several more verses to his already generous repertoire of « “He Doesn’t. Know,” a new version of the poor male, defenseless against feminine wiles. Peggy Wood, in the role of the mod- ern saint, Jenny Lind, is always charm- ing and appealing. As «in The Clinging Vine, her voice is a delight. . This time however, she is placed in a more.appro- priate setting of hoop skitts and Revolu- tionary romance. The girl’s chorus is mainly decorative but very successfully so. The male chorus however, is highly effective. In Act II, scene 2, they render a selection of negro spirituals which are. worthy of very high praise. ; Lee Beggs as P. T.

It is sincerely to be hoped that his long tirade against Major General Gurnee, of the too-flexible neck and suffocated voice will be gener- ously cut, if only for the peace of F.T; Barnum’s shade. a Ah, what an oversight!

Whenever you happen to be in the vicinity of the Academy of Music do not fail to traverse the few intervening steps_along Broad _street to the Art Club of Philadelphia and see the ex- hibit of oil paintings which will remain open until January 2. . Four pictures in this exhibition really captured our fancy. “The Pil- grim,” by Gertfude Fiske, done mainly in soft dull grays and browns with pale’ yellow lights, presents in concrete form the vague generalities embraced by the term “Patriarch.” There is something akin to the Old Testament in the expression of the eye and weather-beaten face of this vieillard. “The Russian ’Bridge,”» by Leon | Mr. Henri has caught at ence the won- chard Lane” as an example of space with inpunity—and still have a.good time |, PROBLEMS OF PARENTHOOD his characters at first-hand—from “Eyes,” the mammoth Negro dope fiend, to Jean. Maline, the scholarly forger, who gives Sammy lessons in rhetoric at Sing Sing. ~ Mr. Lord’s enchanting style, which he says is not that of the ant but of the cricket, skipping from scene to scene, turning pages for you that you may glimpse the end—or merely, like Tristram Shandy, “digressing”—lifts the story from the hopelessly sentimental level of the plot. The action leads you from precari- ous life in the slums, through a Kansas blizzard, through encounters with the questionable Rhoda Rhedd of. the Glory Flats, through various jails, to a happy ending where a benevolent Governor | hands out pardons, the mortgage on the farm is lifted and the hero settles down with the heroine to a happy and blameless life. If the plot were as good as the on and the characters Light Fingers be one of the best books of. the season. “H. F. Mc K.’ William, by E. H. Young. e is a pleasant book. In it we are ain confronted with a large English this of the prosperous middle class,|be with a little less human frailty. This, ler | darker side of life with no note of epti- pursuit of pleasure, which becomes more and more dangerous as it is the more liberally indulged in. They depend upon excitement of aj low order; in fact, their chief aim seems to consist in dashing from one cabaret to another. Usually they accomplish nothing more all day, always somehow managing to pay their debts. Besides this pastime, a fishing trip in Spain, a fiesta filled with bull fighting and the escapade of a despised Jew with the. heroine, who later succumbs to the charms of a toreador and t turns him down,{ too, ar¢ described. From’ these incidents we gain an impression of a drab weariness of life; the vividness of description only masks superficially this deeper feeling. The dialogue may be vigorous, but it is hardly more than an exchange of oaths and abuse all the way through. . Sordid subject matter makes easy and often absorbing reading. But all the profit to be obtained from such a book 'as this of Hemingway’s lies just in what he. leaves out. A series of incidents is portrayed of a certain, section of Amer- can and English life on the Continent as it is; we are left to imagine what it might however, is no just cause to condemn the story.

JACQUES COPEAU CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 ’ - He then installed himself iti aa tiny room, devoid of furnishings, in a small theatre on the yeft Bank. After sus- taining the first great wave of criticism, Le Vieux Colombier gained wide popu- lar favor and was forced to seek larger quarters when-it reopened after the - War. The season’ 1923-24 was the high mark of its popularity. “ Its greatest ‘contribution, however, rests in the realm of decor and mise¢ en ‘scene, rather than in the drama. M. Copeau’s theory is that scenery ought to be sug- gestive and evocative rather thag literal. Like all art, the mise en scene ought to appeal to the imagination. But above all it must be subordinated ‘to the acting and serve the dramatist. In the field of interpretation, too, Le Vieux Colombier has made an important contribution, M. Copeau, according to classic tradition, requires of his actors .versatility. His productions therefore had fa flexibility and finish rarely achieved nowadays. i : The tragedy in the history of Le Vieux Colombier is that is has furnished no real work of art to the drama. Whether this is due to lack of encouragement to young dramatists on the part of M. Co- peau or to the present dearth of material is’ hard to say. For reasons still unknown, LeVieux Colombier was closed the Spring of 1924. Throughout its existence, M. Co- peau. assumed the entire burden of his productions ; he superintended all the re- hearsals; taught the pupils; superintend- ed the costuming’ and lighting ; played the important roles; ‘and managed the fi- nances. It is not strange that he has spent most of his time since then in Bourgogne, only occasionally giving a presentation of Moliere. Moliere is the great specialty, if one may use such a term, of M. Copeau, especially Le Misantrope, that great tragi- comedy which M. Boissard in La Nouv- elle Revue Francaise considers a true pic- ture .of Moliere’s own circumstances and -even goes as far as identifying each character-with—a—contemporary_of the great dramatist. Alceste is really Moliere himself and Celimene is Moliere’s_.wife, Armande Rejart. In 1922, the 300th anniversary of Moli- ere, M. Copeau presented Le M isanthrope at Le Vieux Colombier and played the role of Alcest himself. M.

Such a situation manifestly - does not properly ‘stress independent or original thought; rather it encour- ages the student in mental. laziness and fosters the desire to do merely enough routine work to “get by.” Perhaps this situation is in part due to the composition of the faculty.

Women undergraduates at Brown University have described the ideal college: The ideal college is an institution in which faculty and students are of ex- ceptional mental ability and high moral character—an institution whose purpose is to train the student in straight thinking, to stimulate her mental curiosity, arouse her powers of appreciation and develop in her a high sense of morality. In_ early years mere cramming of memory ob- scured the ideal of intellectual activ- ity and caused a lack of proper em- phasis upon training the student to become a “thinking unit” in society. Today manifold extra-curricular activi- ties produce similar effect. -Gowns at McGill. Arts at McGill have recently voted to wear the gown while in the arts building. Dr. Stephen Leacock, professor of mathe- matics there, and author, of several humorous books, expressed himself in The usual deadly boredom of such affairs were thereby avoided&and every- body appeared to be really enjoying the festivity. In spite of the ritual attrac- tion offered by the players at Wyndham, there was a very good showing from the start. x ae Although there was no skit, due to the: fact that the acting talent of .’27 was either directly -or indirectly engaged” at Wyndham, impromptu entertainment was | provided .by M. DuFour with her truly phenomenal clogging and E.. Parker, who sang two songs from Oh, .Kay!—Maybe and Do, Do, Do. Fairly early ‘in the evening, a lucky number dance was. arranged which was won by A. L. Habson, ’30 and E. Woolley, 27. Then after several exuberant Paul Joneses and refreshments, a dance con- test was held. To K. Howe, 30, and M. L. Jones, ’27 the palm of victory was awarded. CHRISTMAS CONFERENCE PROGRAM The League for Industrial Democ- racy is planning to have its Christmas Conference as usual. in New York. The program for this three-day gath- ering includes a reception. to delegates by the Norman Thomases and a visit to the Labor Temple to witness the labor film of the Passaic sttike. The subjects. on. which well-known people are to speak are Reconstruc- tion in Soviet Russia, the Liberal, the Socialist, the Communist in America, ffe Future of Capitalism and Social- ism in America,, What Can the Stu- dent do for Democracy While if Col- lege? and What Students Can do for Democracy After College Days. The last two are the topics for discussion groups. The names of the speakers are to be announced later. . BYZANTINE ART CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 This art was like the Greek art of the fifth century, and had followed precisely the same development as it, passing from. realism and stress on the human figure for its own sake, to a stage when the human fjgure was} merely a detail in a composition. Why did the same thing happen to the two arts? Seasons for Coincidence. In the first place, there is a religious reason. When the church saw no further need of teaching, it turned again to symbols. It represented Christ with human, features. as a sym- bol of the inner reality, as the Word Thus they increasingly painted con- ventional types, and chose out of every scene the absolute essential for repre- sentation, Thus, in an earty painting of the entry into Jerusalem, one sees the realistic treatment, introduction of charming little boys not mentioned in the Scripture, while the Byzantine representation of the same scene has no picturesque treatment, merely gen- eralized types. In the second place, the develop- ment was brought about by a move- ment of thought. - In ninth century Byzantium, there was a great renais- sance, when scholars read and studied ancient manuscripts. This study con- tinued for two centuries, so that, by the time of the Paleologues, Byzantine scholars were past masters of the ancient languages. They studied, how- ever, not Greek but Latin, and in par- ticular Lucian and Philostrate. These writers described’ Hellenistic art, in which the human figure is lost in the composition. veloped a Hellefistic taste in art. In the third place,-in the first half of the thirteenth century, there came a remarkable scientific movement, caused by a split.in the ehurch “over favor of the plan when interviewed by the McGill Daily. He went on to explain his attitude: “A gown is the cheapest kind of dust protector and the best clothes saver yet invented—I want to see the gown back at McGill. and with it as much as. possible the idea and spirit for which’ it stood—the, notion of a learned class, as- piring to higher things, to study for its own sake, to a pursuit of learning with- motive.

Why worry about a younger generation that shows more intellectual and moral vitality than the whole pro- cession of dodos that has preceded it since the civil war?” ‘A college body that does some object. ing, is at least alive to what is going on _ about it.* Is it not moré to an_ institu- tion’s credit to possess. a wide- awake group of undergraduates striving for improvement than a bunch of deadheads believing implicitly in the infallibility of their Alma Mater?

Foreigners Contribute Experience. In a more concrete way the charac- teristics of the different countries are displayed by pageants and folk-dances in mative costume. The girls dance with natural grace and rythm which coull only be learned at home in close contact with the traditions and cus- toms of foreign lands. Watching them one gets a sense of the tre- mendous experiment that America is making with immigration, and one feels that indifference to this vital prob- lem is almost criminal. Minor social problems also arise in the mixed group of people. There are inevitable antagonisms at first between the foreign and American-born, the latter being usually the most stupid, as well as between, the trade unionists’ and non-unionists, and so forth.

If the stu- she will be quizzed on the assigned reading at any timig it is’ argued thit she will do it regularly, and will not allow work to pile up ‘ust before scheduled quizzes. In fact, in most courses the drop quiz system is an excellent incentive to work. Furthermore, if the. professor gives 10 “quizzes he will often be lecturing en points which the students do not fully ‘understarid, because he has no way of knowing just how much of the course they have assimilated. The ad- vantage of drop quizzes as compared wth those announced in advance -is that the unexpected type reveals the degree of faithfulness of individual members and of the whole class. This is not possible with an announced quiz into which the element of . cram- ming enters and obscures other ele- ments which really interest the teacher. The drop quiz, it is argued, shows that part of the student’s knowledge which will last rather than the part which has been stored up temporarily by the cramming process.

In reply to this; line of .argument those opposed to drop quizzes point out that # the gtudenf has been véry much rushed with work in some other course, or if she*has- heen preparing a report, she may not have beerf able to keep sup with her-regular- assignments, much as she would like to do so, and therefore she receives an unfairly low grade in the quiz. Furthermore, the opponents raise: the question whether what has been really tearned and re- tained. Do student? never study for scheduled quizzes? Do they always cram? Does one, moreover, retain nothing of what is crammed? Is hur- ried’ reviewing of a subject day ‘after day with one’s mind partially distracted by fear that one will not remember after all, and by speculation as to when the quiz will come anyhow, more con- ducive to retention than is cramming? And what of the student whg works better and accomplishes more by let- éing three,or four assignments accum- ulate; and then doing them all at once? Drop Quizzes vs. Discussion. On the otheP hand, those who favor drop quizzes argue that they give a fairer basis for determining the prog- ress and relatiye ability of the members of the cla¥s. than®does the ‘discussion system» ‘In mere clags discussion some ‘ness, their lack of self-consciousness, or their ability to put into. spoken words what they think, get a-*better reputation than others who know just as much; also students who ‘have not fprepared a lesson get a chance to ‘sit back and “let others do it.” . The drop quiz tests the student’s average daily preparation and her ability to express on paper something of what she thinks. ‘FRENCH -CONVERSATION CLASS meet a group of students for French Conversation oncgya week.

FITCH SPEAKS : CONTINUED Misconception of these terms is one ‘of our difficulties in achieving goodness. Another is that goodness means a con- stant conflict of loyalties. As we get older evil is no longer vivid scarlet, good— vivid blue, but all is mixed fogether. The choice is between what is good and what is better. Ignatius, an early Chris- tian bishop, was sent to the lions because he thought that first allegiance was to religion, not to the State “In the Middle Ages, when the Roman Catholic Church was one institution that held Europe to- gether and preserved civilization, Henry II, of England put his country above it, and Becket, supporting the international interest was killed.
