On Friday afternoon, Varsity de- feated the William and Mary hockey team, the first Southern women’s. hoc- key team to be. sent North, by the score 3-0. Although William and Mary boast- ed an excellent backfield, which of- fered a compact barrier to the con- tinuous attack of the Bryn Mawr line, the forwards were noticeably lacking in any united effort to get the ball into scoring position. The Bryn Mawr forwards started the game with a speedy offensive drive backed up by a strong defense, which allowed the ball to get into Bryn Mawr territory only a few times. The forwards, for the most part, played better than we dared hope for, had excellent control of the ball, passed cleanly and accurately, and, but for the stubborn resistance of. the opposing backfield, would have scored again and again. Varsity ended its season with a type of hockey that we have Aong wished to see, played hard agafnst an excel- lent team, and reaped its reward. If the good work continués, there should be plenty of opposition in the game with the All-Philadelphia team on ecember 9.

James Stephens Discusses Poetry at Informal Tea (Continued from Page One) morning he went to awaken a friend who didn’t like to. get up in the morn- ing, and while he: was waiting for his friend to arise he picked up a small book lying nearby; but when he saw it was poetry, he put it back. He waited longer, and finally picked the book up again and read one verse. His first inward comment—was,“My God! The sense! of it!” So he read the second verse. Now, at that time he was the champion gymnast of Ire- land, and he had formed the habit, “on observing acrobatics, of accurate- ly judging his own ability to do a particular stunt. His reaction to the second verse was a realization of his competence to write poetry, and thereupon ‘he went home that night and wrote twenty-four poems. “Poets are akin to unwieldy wooers who win by strength and ignorance, not | displaying the intellect, but creating | unconsciously~’ His theory of poetic composition | naturally brought forth questions re- garding the obscurity in much mod-| poetry, and, especially, objection t6 ‘Hopkins’ obscure poetry. “There is a value in obscurity,” said Mr. +3 Stephens, “and if there is so-called obscurity the blame is to be put on . the poet or the reader, but in regard -who is incompetent.” to Hopkins’ poetry it is the reader Hopkins’ verse has two- subjects: the thought and the music, which provides a back-! ground for the first.- The words are not merely strung together; they are designed to give a feeling of melody. Mr. Stephens remarked that he is now engaged in writing twelve son- nets, which he hopes will be utterly incomprehensible to anyone but him- self, “for only those who understand can understand.” - He also read some - of his own poems in this connection, notably The Universe, which he de- scribes as pure vacuity, and Love.

Art Class Hears Alumna Lecture on Iconography m Continued from Page One ebrred,—at fwilight on the*first day of the Passion, One of the earliest sources for the theme of the Vesper- bild is a twelfth century poem in which the desire of the Virgin to once more hold Christ in ‘her arms is ex- pressed. Then at the end of the thir- teenth century, the Mirror of Con- stance describes her wish as fulfilled; Christ lies in her arms and she is content. The greatest Vesperbild of Italian art and*probably the greatest in the world is that of Michaelan- gelo in St. Peter’s at Rome. The second motif,” that of the Throne of Grace, shows the Virgin and St. John, or God the Father, sup- porting Christ after his crucifixion. Sometimes this receives the generic name of the Trinity when a dove is included; but the wide. range of rep. resentations of the Trinity makes this label too inaccurate in the naming of the Throne of Grace and it is bet- ter to use the narrower term. A pic. ture attributed to El Greco and rep- resenting God the Father supporting His Son, as the holy Dove hovers over- head has the same purely spiritual and unhistorical significance as the Vesperbild. Both of these subjects, therefore, are sublimations of events in the Passion, and represent a mys- tical and religious idea detached from Advertisers in this paper are reli- able merchants.

The values of the horse age cannot be replaced:. artistic emigra- tions to find an impetus and a revivi- fication are’useless. The United States, one of a very few countries in which energy is re- surgent, has no need to apply for ma- terial to an old Europe, weary artis- tically and materially. The time for sleep has.come in Europe. America and Russia will probably be the two poles for international affairs which England ‘and France have been so long. Similarly, as England was a wealthy and poetic nation, so the United States will be; .as France’s preoccupations were with war and criticism, so will Italy turn to these; and as Germany was engrossed in so- cial organization and music, so Rus- sia will be occupied. This transfer of energy is'only normal, although this is the first time in’ history in which energy is being taken up by countries with an idealistic rather than a materialistic background. This break from tradition is quite recent. Until thirty or forty years ago America was still following Eng- land. So far as literary aspirations were concerned,. Lowell, Whittier, Poe, Emerson, Hawthorne and Mark Twain were all getting in step with the English tradition. Then came a wave of immigration which forced the United States to rest until the di- gestive process was finished. Today the United States is again upon its feet, not following England this time, but a little in advance. The earlier American writings show that their authors attained technique but not content (with the possible exception of Poe’s Helen), which was perfect in Isn°t An THIRTY-FIVE CENTS Much? Most college allowances go only so far. But even at that you can probably spare 35 cents once a week. It isn’t much—35 cents—hardly the price of a movie or shampoo. Yet for 35 cents, if you know the ropes, you can telephone as far as 100 miles. That probably means you can telephone “home! Can 35 cents buy more pleasure than that?

Between the time of these writers. and: the present, America was busy with legislation and acquisition. of wealth.. Then Frost, Robinson, and Lindsay captur- ed the content of poetry in addition to the form. This country is now, as a result, almost entirely alone in its production of a native literature of imaginative ‘adventure. With this came a renaissance in criticism as well: America started working on problems; indigenously and_ writing readable, valuable, and original criti- cism. ‘ This renaissance involves all of us, either as readers or writers. We are outgrowing the age of jazz that made us live from week to week to sustain a feeling that all was not denuded, and we are now being trained to think on many and: different problems, that our mind and wills may be capable in many directions, Thus is art being sta- bilized by’ a naming process that di- lates the mind. The’ sense of beginning in us is not manifest until it is identi- recognize its existence and give us a previous sense of reality. Mr. Stephens concluded his lecture by reading illustrative poems from his own works. He read A Minuet to show his means of conveying the sense of a dance, and a piece on water de- signed to convey, an elemental feel- ing of the abstractness of the subject. Lonéliness also gave an extraordinary sense of rhythm, emotional and with an underlying sensuous mood that made’ the piece seem all the purer poetry for the absence of intellectual substance. Colonel H. Edmond Bullis, execu- tive secretary of the National Com- mittee for Mental Hygiene, believes that thousands of jobless graduates of colleges and: universities are be- coming a menace to the recent order of American society because of the discontent rife among them.
