BUDDHIST ART TRACED Indian@art, with which most of us were painfylly unacquainted; was the subject of a very illuminating lecture in Taylor on Friday evening, April 1. Dag Diez in- troduced the” speaker, Dr. Ananda Coom- araSwamy, who since 1917 has beeg curator of the Indian collection in the Boston Art Museum and’ is one of the few scholars who is an authority on In- dian art. Dr. Coomaraswamy begém his rapid survey of the entire field of Indian art in painting and sculpture by showing us some primitive seals dating from about three’or four thousand B. O. C. which were very similar in character to Sume- rian art of the same period. He also showed us a few terra cotta figures of foddesses of fertility of the primitive period,:the type of which has continued on down through Indian art until thegnews, present time. Before the third century B. C., how- ever, there was little monumental. art due in large measure to the character of the religion, which was a worship of more or less abstract genii, or guardian spirits, of the Naga or Yuksha types, which are related to certain types of As the re- ligion was of an entirely abstract mys- tical character with elements of -nature worship, it was natural that a monu-, mental art should not develop until there was some need felt on the part of the people for anthropomorphisation. This need was felt as early as the third cen- tury B. C.. when certain definite types were first developed in art as the result of the first stages of a devotional wor- ship, whose emotional requirements were soon anthropomorphic.

Shaw’s Life Is Series . of Inspired Follies To give a “personal close-up” of his friend, Mr. Bernard Shaw, was the pur- pose of Mr. Archibald Henderson in speaking here, on Thursday, March 31. As Shaw’s biographer, Mr.. Henderson ‘has had the opportunity to find out many amusing things about the personality of the great dramatist. He has often been: asked how he, a student of mathematics, had come to write this biography ; his account of it is amusing, and typical of Shaw. When he was still a student, he was taken to a performance of You Never. Can Tell. This affected hima“like a bath of Milli- ken Rays,” so he set’ to work to read everything that Shaw had ever written. Then, with the audacity of youth, he wrote to Shaw, and formally proposed to write his life. After several anxious weeks, he received a post card, bearing the four words “Send me your photo- graph!” Mr. Henderson said this re- quest embarrassed him exceedingly be- PAGE CONTINUED ON 3 Scientific Research Is Gem of Sportsmanship “The presiding genius of scientific re- search is a fit subject, for a whole volume of sonnets,” according to Katherine Blod- gett, Bryn Mawr, 1917,,and-at present re- sdarch worker for Geréral Electric Co: And _ the solving of scientific problems, is the most fascinating and panratisiig of games.

These cults were developed in Greece Jin the sixth century. B. C., during a period of political and industrial strife.

From the sacrificial rites in his honor arose the mystic Dionysiac cult, its followers be- lieving that participation in their myster- ies and initiation ceremonies would bring a new life hereafter for the Blessed. At first these followers were the oppressed peop'es of humble origin, but by the sixth century B. C. the attention of those in higher circles had been attracted, stimul- latitig a new period of philosophic specu- latior, On these early cults new philoso- phy was built up, based on the principles of original sin, purification, infernal punishment and heaventy reward. The origin of the system was ascribed to a mythical god, Orphetts, and the philoso- phy he was supposed to have propounded, called Orpheism, affected in turn the Eleusian Mysteries of Demeter and various Dionysiac cults, In the fifth and fourth centuries B. C. these philosophies spread over Italy and Sicily. Tablets of advice to the dead have been found on the sites- of o'd graves In spite of official censure the cults lived and spread.

MRS. TIFFANY LEAVES BEQUEST Alumnae Association to Bene- fit Eventually from Large Trust Fund. $25,000.00 Bryn Mawr College, less embarrassing thar I thought. I can- not resort to the usual formula and de- clare that this is the best play I have ever seen in Bryn Mawr, hecause it would not mean much in my case. But it is certainly an excellent amateur pro- duction; that in almost every detail gives [proof of competence, effort and talent. M. Villard Stars. as Blayds M. Villard undoubtedly starred as the old poet Blayds and her qualities are far above the ordinary range. Her make- up was excellent, her costume and _atti- tude struck one as trite in every respect. Her quivering voice, the shaking of her hands, were admirably kept up until the ~ fend, while the diction always remained clear and carried to the audience the im- pression of melancholy regret and pathos of that-old-man crushed by his lifelong secret, Miss Villard’s exceptional gifts as an interpreter of difficult parts was known to the college already; she has given another and last proof of it before she leaves Bryn Mawr. Miss Barker, who is, I believe, a Fresh- man, will on the contrary have more op- portunities to display her talent, for she has also a large share of it. She had already been something of a revelation in Pierrot at the Players’ and she seems to have some experience of the amateur stage, so easy 1s her acting, not stained by the slightest touch of self-conscious- ness or awkwardness. The naturalness with which she walked about the stage sat down, delivered in a rich voice her replies of the frank, saucy granddaughter Septima were most refreshing | and de- lightful to the audience, The mother, the eternally blundering and incurably stupid Marion, was also - played with great skill by Miss Latane.

Tiffany, prominent alumna, in which interested herself deeply from the time of her graduation until her ‘death, Marche 11, will benefit considerably in years to come as a result of provisions in her will filed at Mineola. The will provides that Mrs. Tiffany’s Henrietta B. Ely, and her aunt, Sarah A. Reed, each sisters, Gertrude S. and shall receive the income for life from a share in the residuary estate which may amount to about $1,000,000, Upon the death of each of these beneficiaries, the amount set aside for such bene- ficlary alumnae is to go to the Bryn Mawr Alumni Association, of which Mrs. Tiffany formerly was president, to be used by that association for the benefit of the college. In addition, on the death of Eva Richardson of Decatur, Ga., another beneficiary, Bryn Mawr is to receive $25,000 for, the establishment of*a fel- lowship in archaeology to be known as the Theodore N.

More than any other board. within recent years, this board needs a_ clear vision and a firm hand. For on the’ - respect which it can command, the public opinion it can -arouse, de- pends the successful operation of Self-government. “The past board has put through the difficult task of re-making the entire code of rules. This revision has been based on the theory that people will obey rules which they have had some hand in making, more readily than those which are imposed upon them as a heritage of the ages. The new set of resolu- tions is the most liberal—and, in comparison with those of other. col- leges, it is very liberal—that can be obtained at this time. If. the stu- dent body fails to obey these rules, if it fails to support the Executive Board which it has elected and to which it has given the power and the responsibility of carrying out these rules, it will acknowledge that it is not capable of self-government. To be fair, not only to the Board _of Directors, and to Miss Park who have faith enough to allow us to re- make our rules and to govern our- selves, but also to ourselves, ‘we must co-operate with the Executive Board in the spirit in which the new_rules were made. CHICAGO OVERSHADOWED The assertion that Leningrad holds the world record for drunk-, enness, suicides and murders -comes as a great blow to our national pride. corous and conservative St: Peters- burg which fled from anything so radical as futuristic art, beating our own Chicago; the idea is preposter: ous! Contrary to all accepted be- liefs, there may be something in names after all. hike instance, a “rose labeled “Bla ic” might! smell mich sweeter. But seriously ‘speaking, all Euro- peans know that Americans take great pride; in “bigger and better” things,—from theaters to crimes. To rob us of so infantile a past- time seems sheer cruelty—nay ! worse than that—bad — business judgment. What will foreign lec- turers allude to in pointing out to us our anarchy and thirst for blood now that Leningrad has superseded Chicago? In the good old days, all the lecturer had to say was, “Look at Chicago!” The audience obliging- ly shuddered, laughed with good- natured and pardonable pride and, secure in the belief that America held the récord, was prepared to ign any foreign failing.

The most irritating nature lovers are the ejaculatory enthusiasf$. In rapt accents they exclaim “Look! The Japanese cherry is out!” or “The grass! it’s so green!” But on second thought, they are not quite so bad as the Silent Starers,— (at least they never leave ‘you in doubt as. to what has _ attracted them). ‘But the silent Starers! They grab you and just point, too overcomé with emotion to utter a sound. We usually make the mis- take of thinking that they are point- ing to the campus dog scratching his-fleas, and-spoil their rapture. by laughing. The Analytical Admir- ers are better; they*remark in calm tones, under which one can detect subdued soul throbs, ‘““The grey of the building, and the blue sky above make a perfect spore, for the Japa- nese cherry,” or “violets should al- ways grow saint stone,—the jux- taposition of the weak and the strong is so poignant,” these are the artists, and perhaps we should not condemn them too harshly. However, we much prefer to study nature in our way, and alone, —except of course, when we are the first to discover some particu- lar beauty. ~ NOT GUILTY The Boule—the Supreme Court of Greece—has recently been the scene of a very pretty publicity stunt. At Jeast, no one can believe seriously in the effort of the Greek lawyer who, this past month, has ‘been trying to get the Court to re- verse the decision against Socrates. Such a reversal cannot affect Socrates nor-his reputation, nor even that of the Court which con- demned him, for few will-:remember the present action, while no one who reads the Apologia can forget what happened in 399 B. C. While the most that this effort can do is to make the people con- Lcerned look ridiculous, it is certain- ly an ingenious way of getting your name in the papers. Let us hope, however, that no other disinter- ments of causes cebres will take place. : PRINCETON SEEKS SARETY Since automobiles, due to danger to. life and property, have been banned from Princeton, — roller- skates and airplanes have enjoyed much notoriety as substitutes. From latest reports, however, airplanes seem to be gaining the monopoly. The reasons are obvious. Streets and sidewalks are terribly congest- ed, and. traffic regulations have failed to obviate this condition. Furthermore both streets and side- walks are made of materials noted for their hardness and _ resistance. Thus bruises and fractures often result frony an impact of the human no wonder that such dire menaces to life and limb as roller-skating in- volves, should not long be tolerated. On the other hand, now that the farmers have de-crowed New Jer- sey, the air is comparatively un- populated. Collisions have been reduced to the minimum, and, al- though a few chimneys and house tops may suffer, human life is un- molested.

Correspondence April 11, 1927* To the Editor of the CoLLEceE News: As you are printing in this issue of the CotteceE News a newspaper report of Mrs. Tiffany's will, | venture to ask for a litle of your space in order to peint out _Jwhat seems to me the real significance of such a bequest. A woman of great social charm and of marked ability, Mrs. Tiffany had perhaps as close a connection with things which | uate of Bryn Mawr. An ardent believer in woinan suffrage, she was one of its active supporters everi in the long ago days when to support it meant to work hard for it, and she continued ‘her work after the passage of the suffrage amend- ment as Regional Director of the New York League of Women Voters. A great admirer of Woodrow Wilson, she was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Woodrow. Wilson Foundation, and, eager for international understand- ing, she was one of the members of the Executive Committee of the Foreign Policy Association. In spite of these and many other interests, it was to Bryn Mawr that, with the exception of a‘ few legacies, she bequeathed at the expira- tion of four trust funds her entire estate. Another Alumna, Mrs. Percy Jackson, of New York City, equally well known for her public work and at the time of her death a year ago president of the New York Consumer’s League, and, like Mrs. Tiffany, a woman of very real dis- tinction, also has left the larger part of her estate, at the expiration of a trust fund, to: Bryn Mawr. It may well make us pause, especially those who may be questioning the value of college training, and consider what tributes “like these mean when paid by women who must have tested innumerable times during the years since their graduation (thirty in Mrs. Tiffany’s case and twenty-five in that of Mrs. Jackson) the real worth of the training given them by Bryn Mawr. ‘Yours faithfully, CAROLINE CHADWICK COLLINS.

Chapter Ill There I dismounted and left my faith- ful steed with no little regret. I walked; what endless inches I walked, all the way up from the pasture to the orchard. When I got there, although it was early spring. and there really wasn’t any point to it, I determined that I must climb the Apple tree. From earliest childhood, I had al- ways dreamed of climbing the Appletree, it seemed such a glorious feat, and one so seldom performed. Inexperienced.as I was, I set forth. It*was difficult going; from time to time twigs wou'd break off and fall to the ground with a foreboding thud, but at last.I achieved the topmost branch. What a view was spread out before me! I felt dizzy, exalted, uplifted. [ wanted to sing, to shout, but my enrap- tured mood was short lived, a sudden breeze, and I was ,brought back to earth. Chapter IV I picked myself up, and made my way leisurely across the fied. At the end I came to the Barb Wire’ Fen@e, an ime passible barrier, and I realized that I should have to retrace my steps or do what no man had ever. done before. ¢ ; Rather than go the long prosaic way, I choose the latter; I prepared to go through the fence. But the perils that be- set me, the scratches I received, were worth it, in the face of what I had done. I had conquered the unconquerable. Chapter V From the other side, by dint of. steal- ing rides on the farm wagon (what fun I.had hiding from the farmer, who had already issued a threat to thresh me!) I arrived at last’ at the building whose fame has spread throughout the world— the Chicken Coop! It captured my fancy at once, and I spent a long time, merely gazing at its ephemeral beauty. .

Isabel’s impersonation was probably the hardest lot and consequently more Open to criticism. Her prasicat appear- ance did.not quite produce the illusion of a mature woman, who can look back upon her love-affairs of eighteen years | ago. She had the quiet, weary attitude of the, self-sacrificing daughter of a great. man, but one did not always feel the passion underlying the restraint. One lacked something more tense and intense hidden behind her self-devotion and even her tardy love-raptures of the closing scene. m Men’s parts are often, naturally enough, a stumbling block_in a performance in-a women’s college. Royce and Oliver did not certainly detract anything from the good impression of the whofe perform- ance; but they betrayed in their clothes rand make-up, ‘in their voice and acting, some uneasiness, or some desire. to ap- pear too easy, which did not trick us into that momentary suspension of dis- belief that is the ideal object of a per- formance. To be fair, one must remem- ber the barrenness of their parts in the written play— and our stricttures are perhaps,due to the resentment that men (and professors) feel at discovering how ‘women (and students) see us. Miss Stewart deserves high compli- ments for the fine and ardor of her more than adequate rendering of her part. Her make-up and costume, in a_ splendid frock-coat unmistakably cut by the best of the London tailors, her most amusing gestures when drawing out her handker- chief and polishing her glasses, showed a great cleverness and a keen sense of all the comic possibilities of the character. I cannot help thinking she slightly over- did that comic e'ement, and pushed it to the verge of burlesque beyond what the author intended. But she made the audi- ence laugh, and that was no dovbi her object. Our only serious criticism might be the with some adroitness of craftmanship, somewhat too obviously done, a mixture of comic, con- ventional and—alas! poor final scene !— seritimental elements that seemed a bit . old-fashioned. But, as the phrase goes, “the audience enjoyed it immensely.” Every detail of the production had been carefully studied; none of those. defects in elocution or. too obtrusive interyentions of the prompter that audiences of college plays often have to lament for which the - coach, Mr. Walter Greenough, of the Plateau Player’s, is to be sincerely thank- ed.

We cannot do better than by expressing our gratitude to — Miss Ling, whose well-known ability and unsparing efforts had certainly not a little share in the remarkable results achieved. We have no doubt the New York audience next Saturday will take as much pleasure as we experienced, and it will be for the Varsity dramatics a deserved confirmation of their success.

He said he had read everything ever written about Joan of Arc, and that he was the only person who had ever really understood her. At seventeen she knew everyone’s business better than the person ‘himself. She told the soldier how to fight, the ‘captain how to command, the Dauphin how to win the confidence of the French people, all of which she knew better than they, because she had had “an intimate talk with St. Michael” or Saint Catherine or Saint Margaret. Shaw had only one adjective with which to describe her— “Snsufferable.” At the end of -the lecture a woman voiced the feelings of the audi- ence in moving a vote of thanks, and, she added, “I am sure that I voice the feel- great error; that it is not Joan of Arc, but Bernard Shaw who is insufferable.” Hates United States Shaw does not like the United States, He has said he will not come here until the “ethnic type has been established, until you have reverted to savage Indians.” In “Why should anyone who is in London want to go to the United States?” He bases his illiberal—I should be arrested for doubt- ing the story of Elisha and the bears ;” and “you do not know the meaning of freedom—my irony does fot extend to gazing upon your Statue of Liberty.” However, he was forced to say that Eng- land, too, did not know the meaning of freedom, when at his seventieth birthday banquet, he was not allowed to broadcast his speech, because he would not agree “speak controversially.” On one occasion Shaw was asked to speak at the Athenacum Club in London. The next day there was great consterna- tion at the club, because’ they found a notice he had posted saying: “Will the Noble Lord whe stole my umbrella last night please return it'at once? No ques- tions asked.” ‘Later a friend told him that they were still debating ‘‘How in the ‘Icalled second style, distinguished. by: large mural paintings in which figures replace According to Dr. Rostovseff, at deast two such houses in Pompeii are decorated with frescoes having to do with- the mys- tic religions, and to illustrate the point he devoted the rest of the lecture to these ‘paintings the philosopher of the showed the slides for the,first time.

The last slides were from the Villa Farnesina, very low and delicate reliefs illustrating the same ideas. The whole sum of proof thus absolutely affirms that there was a mystic Pompeii; and that duririg and after the civil wars, myster- ious rites were performed in the great chambers where these frescoes have been found. .

D.; one of the most important monuments of this period is the Stupa of Sanchi. The stupa is a type of funeral monument which dates from Pre-Buddhist times, but it has come to mean %enerally a Buddhistic due to the fact that there were many of these Stupas built for relics of Buddha and used as pilgrimage places, monument, The Stupa of Sanchi provides us with much material for study both in statues and reliefs. - The reliefs have to do with the life of Buddha and it is that Buddha is not represented as yet except by symbols, for instance, by an umbrella, or footsteps, a sacred wheel or a tree. Each symbol came to mean a_ peculiar event in his life. The Guardian Spirits give us, however, some figure sculpture of this time, and the connection with the primitive figure is brought out very particularly interesting to see strongly. Female figures used as brack-, ets are also directly in the tradition of the primitive fertility goddesses. _Buddhistic Art Begins The development in the Kushan Period, second century A, D., shows the actual introduction of a figure ‘to rep- resent Buddha, though the symbols were still used in _conjunctioi_with such fig- |" ures, and eventually became attributes of the deity. It was as a result of the ever-growing need of the people for cult images as the religion of Buddhism be- came popular and was officially adopted that the great Buddhistic art first began. To meet the demand’ artists naturally turned to the forms of art with which they were already familiar and which could easily be adopted to ‘their particu- lar needs.- And thus the tradition of style was passed directly on’ from the older religions to Buddhism.. Other re- with Buddhism—Jainism, Hinduism, and not significant in the field of art as the culture of the period was essentially na- tional and_ racial rather than sectarian; | found * was ‘a mixture of Eastern and -self, and the significant mudras or ges- rthe feeling. of their time, religious and ¥ therefore the « artistic types ‘were very similar in all the religions. of this time, - Dr. Coomaraswamy briefly took up the.*question of the art of Gandhara. He feels that the art was a result of the same anthropomorphic impulse which was felt*in India, and that here as there the artist turned to the artistic styles with which he was familiar and which were at hand in order to satisfy the popular demand As _ what the- artist Hellenistic culture, so the Buddhistic art of the time was a mixtlire of East- ern and Hellenistic styles. As- an exam- pte of East Indian art, he showed a few slides from the Stupa of Amarivati, one of the most elaborate of the monuments. Heré ‘symbols’ were ysed as well as fig- ures in various. different accounts of the story of Buddha. The. technique was masterly both in the actual sculpture and in the composition and management of crowds, Highest - Point Gypta Period “ ‘The highest point of art was reached in the fifth century A. -D, during the Gypta Period (320-600 A. DD): Buddhist art of this period was a per- fect balance between the sensual and material Indian elements, and the high- est ‘spiritual content of the devotional Buddhist religion. The artists were thorough masters of technique, which was still very much at the service of art The time had-not yet come when tech- nique was an end in itself and art only its vehicle. The treatment’ is in general more static than kinetic and it is not until the beginning of the slow and grad- ual decline that the static becomes kinetic, mass becomes outline, and energy and vigor begin to fail. We were again shown a typical figure, a standing Buddha, and the direct descent from the first early figure was easily seen. There is still the same impressive mass, the solid energy, but there isa gain in suavity and finish which marks unmistakably the greatness of this period. The drapery is close and clinging and inclined to. be linear, but the elaborate decoration is always in, good taste and thoroughly satisfying; In the representations of Buddha, some symbols are used apart from the attributes of the Buddha him- tures are beginning to be used. Here also there are feminine divinities de- picted as flying, and it is interesting to see that the motion through the air is represented not by material wings, ‘but by the position of the body and the line of the wind-blown drapery and hair What has been: said about hessculs. ture applies in large degree to painting also. In such paintings.as those in the Ajunta caves there is a certain amount of modelling and movement, and the technique is assured and_ thoroughly worked out. They are a reflection of emotional, just as is the drama and lit- erature and the sculpture already con- sidered. Figure Sculpture Declining As an example of "later sculpture, when the decline had already begun, we were shown slides of reliefs from the Seven Pagodas in the Desert of the Ganges. Here the animals, particularly the elephant and deer, are especially fine, though the first seeds of decline are eas- ily discernible in the figure sculpture. be =" FOR SPORTS ON AND OFF THE CAMPUS _ lar.

By . Thomas: Vernor- Smith. With economic interpretations and theories of. evolution reducing man’s capacity for free development to nar- row limits it is stimulating to. find an intelligent writer who ‘not only “believes in man's ability to realize his own ideal ‘with the tools that are «at hand, but who finds that ideal in poor, mistreated and dishorfored democracy. The reason for the present disrepute of the democratic idea’ Professor Smith says, is largely that we have only tried it as a form of- government, where- as this form is really only a means*-to attain and enjoy the true democracy, which is a way of life. Jt is with the _ purpose of ,describing this way of. life, of setting up a shining ‘but attainable goal before the discouraged lovers of democracy, that Mr. Smith has written his short book. In the eloquent, almost Biblical style of a professor of English literature turned philosopher, he evokes. a life based on the true and living in- terpretation of the old catchwords Lib- erty, Equality and Fraternity, the -last the greatest of all. The almost antique flavor of the phrasing is in marked coiftrast to the sweeping modernity and vigor of the author’s ideas. Having. shown in the first three parts of his book how the three cardinal prin- ciples may be worked out in actual life, Mr.. Smith introduces a chapter on Democracy and the Day’s Work, con- taining his most stimulating contribu- tions to the subject. In work, as the most democratic and” essential form of man’s activity, and not in shorter hours and marginal culture, the good life must be found. The worst drudgery having been relieved by the aid of science and machinery, the spirit of the professions, with their friendliness, their opportuni- ties for stimulating service, with above all the susceptibility to change and prog- ress which averts. the deadening effect of rigidity, must be spread to all forms of work; and .though the leveling in- fluence of Communism is to be avoided, no man must have too little while an- other has too much. In the last chapter, on Leadership, Mr. Smith points out that even the greatest de nocratic philosophers have laid too much. stress on the guidance of great men, by whom they mean men of com- manding personality and general ability who sweep the common people off their feet, in the direction in which they ought to go; Rousseau himself felt that men must be made to see what is good for them. ‘Such leadership, however, defeats democracy. The new leaders must be scientists, trained men with real knowl- edge in a specialized field, who will be leaders jn that one field, while they are followers ‘in another. Fraternity will come n cause all are working towards a common goal, but because all are work- ing in the same manner, each - fulfilling his own ideal of the good life without constraint. For to set up a common goal defeats liberty. All this is a little vague perhaps, much more so necessarily in this faint -sug- gestion than in the book itself. But the value of it is really not so much in its constructive principles, as in its expres- sions of faith. Mr. Smith is what so few of us are—a true lover of democ- If his expo- sition does not make us become enamored of the democratic way of life, his glori- ous confidence gives us new. hope. Aan Dy Be The Minister’s Daughter, by Hildur- Dixelius. E. P. Dutton and Company. The Minister's Daughter stands as a purely, nationalistic novel of Sweden. The subject-matter, the spirit, the charac- terization and the manner of tellmg the story, all belong strictly to the style of the ‘author’s country. eee, The story takes place at the end of the Eighteenth and the beginning of the Nineteenth Centuries, but, had it been left undated, we should have taken it for much earlier. Not only does it re- flect none of the revolutionary up- heavals in which progressive nations were being shaken at that time, but its re- ligious character is almost medfeval. It _ is a study of certain characters in the light ‘of the conduct of life according to inquisitor-like conscience. The heroine, Sara Alelia, who has done wrong, de-" voted her life to the expiation of her sin by aiding those in distress in a Christian spirit. \Passages quoted from lieves in the direct communication of God’s will to her, or to any individual’ . conviction for: the very modern reader except for, the extreme vividness with which the actiom is treated. We are the further _reconciled to the. character of Sara‘ Alelia, because in the end the hard- uess of her northern conscience is re- lieved by a turning back to a less severe standard. For years she had thought that the sacrifice of her love for SahlJen was demanded of her by God; but, when he becomés helpless through the loss of his. eyesight, she finds marriage com- patible with dut\ It is contrary to our expectations that the book dogs not conclude on a somber note. Sara Alelia has struggled amid harrowing circumstances. She has failed to save a woman from the gallows, she has .been unable to rescue the little daugh- ter of the strange Norenius from the death or which the pride of the poverty- stricken Tather was chiefly responsible. But at the last the prospect of happiness dawns for her. The realism of The Minister's Daugh- ter reminds us of Selma Lagerlov’s work. There is no plot, but a recital of a con- stant strugelg against misfortune with final gratifying reward. The de- scription of externals is clear and sharp. The characters do not conform to any standard with which we are particularly familiar, but are similar in their original- ity to those of Selma Lagerlov. That is because, as has been said, The ‘Win- ister’s Daughter is — strictly the line of development of a nationalistic type. The effort is sincere, the result convine- ing, and in the words of Edward Gar- nett, “... these Swedish people of the year 1798 are made as real to us as are the people who pass down the street today.” M. V. its in a Mother Knows Best, by Edna Ferber. Doubleday, Page and Company. “A Fiction Book” is the subtitle Miss Ferber chooses; but it seems to me that “A Collection of Moral Tales” would be more accurate. For each one of the novelettes in this book points a good old- fashioned moral, and points with no un- certain finger. Love comes to the mod- ern girl and transforms her into 1860 model wife and mother: Pa, ma and Carrie Cowen go in-pursuit of adven- ture, beauty and romance, and, finding only indigestion, headaches and_ terror, return to familiar Newark, never again to stray; Hilda Tune, who would not condescend to work, ends as a ridiculed saleswoman, while her sister, Hannah— wouldn’t you know that she would be Hannah ?—who is not too proud to be a waitress, marries a brakeman, and with him achieves private cars and Goyas over the manfel; Denny Regan refused to marry the girl who sneered at him for following the fine old calling, a tradi- tion in the Regan family, of hog driving. All these are tales calculated to make the lower classes bend to the plow cheerfully, confident that their reward, though possibly delayed, is inevitable. And yet they are delightful stories, full of neat characterization, of clever observation, of swift narrative. Miss Ferber seems to have studied her scenes carefully and intelligently, and her com- prehension of people, sympathetic and acute, makes her characters enormously convincing and attractive. K. §. The Last of G: FP, William Hohengzollern: the Kaisers, by Emily Ludwig. Putnam and Sons. The wheel of popular interest in literature has come almost the complete circle since the official beginning of ro- manticism, one-hundred years ago. The characteristic poetry of this age is not concerned primarily with the expression of the individual’s feeling, it strives main- ly for form; the most widely-read books are not those of imagined and _ far-off beauty, they are the works of biography, of psychological review of known situa- tions. This is the age of fact rendered palatable by being treated as fiction, or of fiction which has about. it enough of alleged fact to enable the reader to feel that he is getting an inside view of the situation. In spite of external disorder, of obvious restlessness, it is a time when everyone is digging into the past and at- tempting to arrange, assort, co-ordinate and interpret information. People have come more and more to realize how record, is the product of chance, of cos- mic injustice, of colossal irony, In no case has history been more sub- limely blind to the facts in the case than in its judgment of William Hohenzol- hard and seemingly unreasonable not to credit—the recent biography of the Ger- respect the book ‘might. lack interest or | up much the verdict of history, even mere interest: it reaches the high-water mark Mern, Acne’ is to credit—and”it is very pAgterita = mi svitable | force which brought .a nation out from ° In this moving and magnificent narrative he unfolds the life of the Katser, show- ing how, thé recognized tendencies of his childhood were to contribute, thraugh~ the neg of. his parents and the self- seeking and impotence of his entourage, o the miser¥ of millions. : A child of brilliant ning and physical ‘weakness, William was born to a family whose ‘traditions Were completely the*re-’ Through his sensitiveness, he came to sublimatg his feelings of ‘de: formity by always advocating aloud policies of “iolence.

He lived in a private. world of his own, where he heard only the praise that courtiers allowed to ‘come: to him, and where’ the children trained in school to ipplaud him drowned the mutterings of those who feared his effect on Germany's -ortunes, cheers of the best—this was his tragedy. He sin- cerely desired to avert war, and yet he dedicated years of his life to building the navy, he believed that this was a sure way to insure respect. He could never be steadfast in purpose, nor could he realize that.to run from power to power with blandishment_ fol- lowed by secret.-criticism was to win not popularity but universal abandonment at the critical moment. In the end, when the crash came, he was powerless, be- cause truth had so long been filtered for him that the full draught was dangerous. because The feat of the biographer is to strip the greatness from the figure... You be- gin by pitying the deformed child who was determined to be a soldier, the young man harshly treated by his relatives; but by the time you are pitying the King. whom everyone flatters through self-in- terest, you find your pity mixed with contempt. The familiar bogey figure of the Kaiser, feared as the Beast of Re- velations, whom Lloyd George promised to hang for his dniquities, passes away, and one sees him in his proper propor- tions, by no means essentially bad, cer- tainly not in the least great, in short, a man too weak and too small to use to advantage an enormous opportunity. It is very good that all this should be said in order that people may not con- tinue to identify the Kaiser, whether the Kaiser of fact or of legend,..with the great and pacific country he helped to lead to disaster, in spite of his sincere desire to increase her prestige. The book is scrupulously fair in its condemnation because it quotes as testi- mony only the speeches and writings of the Kaiser and his partisans, fiot once of his enemies. It ‘gives him credit for numberless good intentions. But his es- sential littleness and the irony that such as he should rule—this is borne home more and more as the narrative ad- vances. : _ The- translation of , Ethel Colburn Mayne is very quick and idiomatic, if occasionally . rather too bombastic for English. In one place at least she has made a signal error, when she calls “olittering” that “shining armor,” which made all Europe blink. Surely the phrase is’ familiar enough to be accepted as the standard translation. For the rest. the language seems spontaneous, and it is certainly vivid. K. 6. Elmer Gantry, by Sinclair Lewis.

Landscape architecture is like a three- cornered wedge between the professions of architecture, engineering and garden- ing. It allows a wide range of* things to do just because it is a new profession with blue eyes, baptized by gentle | rain.” We should be thankful that we are spared “came the dawn.” : Lord Strathcombie, the hero, is a man “haloed by the sheer glory of work,” so Louise, little devil that she | are told that she has a very keen mind, and to prove it, she makes the discov- ery early in the book, that the younger zenerations of all ages have been much the same as the present one. That she is intellectually curious is clearly shown by her asking the hero what his theory of life is. Babs. the pure girl who wins Rob- ert away from Louise by her fresh youthfulnes, is an example of another type of modern girl. She is in her twenties and eager to know why men stare at her on the ‘street—in fact she is full of wonderment. There are two living people in the book, Lady Purth and her daughter Charlotte. They are relatively unim- portant to the author, but a breath of renewed life to the expiring reader. The best thing in the book is on the -page following the title page— “The author wishes to state that all the characters in this novel. are en- tirely of the imagination.” One can only add, and what an imagination! - M. G. Love Always Works, Says Dougherty From the thirteenth Corinthians the Rev. George P. Dougherty, director of Christ’s Church, Bloomfield, N. J., took the text of his sermon in Chapel on Sun- ‘day, April 10. “Love, or as St. Paul rather meant it, a gentle, understanding sympathy, was the vixtue without which there shall be no Christian virtues.” “This passage is one of the most beauti- ®ful prose poems in the world. It, more than all the rest of the Bible, should be the foundation of our religious life. No Jonger than the Gettysburg address, it has had more effect on the religion of. the world than all the rest of St. Paul's writings. “It is not like his other writings fort | many of them are polemical, doctrinal, scholastic, provocative of discussion, even in the rest of this letter. Then suddenly he ceases to talk of dogma and writes this, his masterpiece. “The Church of Corinth to which he: was writing was composed of people not unlike us: intelligent, though less so than they thought, they enjoyed . theological discussions, treated some sins severely and others too lightly, were inclined to ‘intellectual and religious snobbery. St.) Paul realized that what they needed was. —love, a gentle understanding sympathy. “I dare you to read the first few verses of that passage,” said Dr. Dougherty, “and take them for what they mean. If this had been done long ago, it would have ended all controversies. There is ‘nothing more daring in the New Testa- "Martyrdom Is'Not Enough > and not highly specialized as yet. How- ever, the practice of gardening is old: | the great gardens of the Italian Renais- sance were designed by artists. The requirements for a professional in this line are first of atl a- graphic ‘magination, and then a certain ability to put down on paper what you have imagined, although you emphatically do not have to be a great artist. Besides 4 these a cettain practical sense is neces- sary, an ability to meet practical issues. You need to be pretty strong—just being fond of flowers is not enough—for it is hard concentrated work and you have to be out-of-doors a great deal. . Per- haps the most important quality is the ability to get a'ong with different kinds of* people. ee The preparation for this profession is long—five to seven years of study after college and even then some time before you can earn a living. Now for the rewards after having paused so long on the difficulties. - All the connections of the profession are interesting. It brings you in touch with the great movements of the day: town planning, parks and civic developmént. You get into a “far greater fie'd than merely designing beautiful gardens for individuals. There is constant contact with interesting people, and opportunity to follow fascinating sidelines. What chance has a woman in this field? You have to meet the defi- nite prejudice against -women-in-all-pro- fessions. You have to be better than a man. But now this prejudice is break- ing down, although the e are different opportunities in. different parts of the country. Landscape architecture is recog- nized as a profession for women in Bos- ton and the Middle West as well as around New York. Around Philadelphia it is not recognized as a real art and a real profession; a colored gardeher is usually chosen before a landscape archi- tect. However, there is coming to be more and more of a chance for women in this field. Christ Is Alphabet by Which We May Read God “I am Alpha and Omega.” The. mean- ing of these heretofore simp!e words was suddenly transformed into a definite vividness by Dr. William Pierson Mer- rill, of the Brick Presbyterian Church in New York in his sermon given here on Sunday, April 3. Bes A thousand years ago “Alpha” and “Omega” were used in the common speech of every day life; if we stop to think, their meaning is almost over- powering in its immensity, for they are translated as “Christ, in Whom is all manner of wisdom and knowledge.” He is the ABC and the XYZ; He is the alphabet; and the alphabet is the, sole foundation of wisdom and knowledge. There is something arbitrary in the way people pick out those: twenty-six letters. Some have thought . to revise them, only. to find it an’ impossibility. “And why? Because the alphabet has proved its power and we cannot. understand lite ture without it. Man thinks likewise of Christ... “He has proved His power in rogré arning, and the lives of the p.is God in the soul-of maa. who doubt whether the needs of the | with cers. mind, we may suddenly mountain top, future. ning and the end. se come upon God.

This man had a min- pute book of the Hammersmith Socialist Club, kept in Morris’ own hand. Among the speakers were Shaw, Sidney Webb, R.. B. Haldane and Ramsay MacDonald, none of them particularly prominent then, but all Socialists. It was an American who converted Shaw to Socialism, but his idea of a Socialist society is not demo- cratic in the American sense. There will be no series of ranks—all class barriers will be broken down, and he looks for- ward to such privileges as saying to any woman he sees walking down the street, “Madam, you interest me strangely. If you are not already engaged, may I come to tea on Friday next, and offer myself?” “ Every Form of Art Tried Shaw is a man who has tried every form of art before finding his place. He began as an art critic, because, when he was ten, he was so bored with Sunday School that he spent hours every Sunday in the Art Gallery of Ireland. He saved up enough money to buy a translation of Vasari, and became a good art critic, until the editor for whom he worked asked him to praise some very poor pic- ‘tures by the editor’s cousin. Shaw re- signed, and became a music critic. He was successful in this too, because his mother had been an opera singer, and at seen in the British museum with a book one’ each side of him, stranger looked over Htis shoulder, and found that he was readin them simul- tal and the score of Tristram and Isolde. After he grew.tired of being a music critic, Shaw became a dramatic critic. Here he broke every convention, starting with the one that you must dress to sit in the stalls, Shaw went in a velvet jacket.

Christianity and Islam, on the other hand, are both} Sémitic; and intolerant, being based on the. conception that the Jews. are’ the chosen people of God and that therefore any religious views acquired by the Jews are the only ones. But Christianity may truly be said to be the worse: since fhany great potentates used Islam for purely cultural purposes. Three Missionary Religions Professor Joshi then gave a short sur- vey of the history of Islam. It was founded in the sixth century by Mo- hammed in Arabia. It differs only slight- ly from the Hebrew religion, since both believe there is one God, but while the Jews hold that Moses is his prophet, the people of Islam say His prophet .is Mohammed. . The justification which Mohammed gave for founding a new re- ligion was the deplorable state at that time of the Christians and. Jews who both had. accepted certain types of super- stition and idof worship. Islam Rises Rapidly Within one hundred ‘years after the death of Mohammed, Arab armies were marching on three continents as the con- querors of Europe, Asia and Africa. They established a capital in Spain at Cordova. ‘During the Dark Ages when leartiing practically had ceased in Europe and even the Church became corrupt, the Arabs ‘became the founders of chivalry. Four hundred picked knights were brought to Andalusia, and after translat- ing their ancient desert: songs, established the beginning of chivalry which after- ward spread to France and Germany. In the meantime, the other armies were conquering nations in Asia. The Caliph of Bagdad, who was practically instru- mental in creating Arab culture sent oe Bo ee Ze . ss a THE COLLEGE NEWS ) . = 7 b ‘ Ma . “** . : ° Jmany men to study the civilization,of the conquered countries—that of Greece and Persia and India. Cordova, in turn, be- came a replica of Bagdad civilization. Schools of culture were founded: and Plato and Aristotle, after being trans- lated into Arabit; were translatgd into Spanish and ‘this #hto other European languages. The University of Cordova was famous as a. seat of “learning and one of its pupils even became a Pope, Sylvester II. e Arabs Traysmitted Learning The Arabs were the great transmitters of intellectual continuity. Among the things they passed along were the decimal system and chess from India and mathematics and astronorhy from San- scrit. One of the things greatly criticized is the positioneof women among the Mo- hammedans. All that can be said is that there are two. ideals, that of seclusion where the higher the rank, the greater the seclusion, and the ideal of no. seclusion where women invade the provinces of ‘men. From a sociological study, both of these ideals have their advantages. There are’a great many women of culture in the Mohammedan world, though some of them are not able to read or write: With ancient nations, reading and writing are not the only modes of gaining culture. For. example, in India, in the time of Queen Elizabeth, Akabar, the ruler, was the most learned man in the East, yet he was illiterate. Scholars read to him and he holds a unique place as a philosopher. By means of a debate on the subject of religion in which: many of the leading scholars of the world took part and over which he presided, a spirit of toleration was attained at a time when the Mohammedans and Hindus were in deadly strife. Islam Conquered Race Prejudice Although the Mohammedans may rightly be accused of using force in spreading their religion and _ culture, converted, the convert is accepted as an equal, regardless. of race, if he is in- tellectually equal’ He may even rise to be a ruler. It is mainly for these social adyantages,.that the Moslems are coming out ahead in the great race between Islam nd Christianity to convert the peoples of Africa. f @ Tn the treatment of the slave, «Islam, until recently, has also been in advance of Christianity. tianity did not emancipate the slave until the eighteenth century, Mohammed him- self preached kindness to the slave and one of the most important law¢ of Islam is that the slave shalk have clothes and food equal with a member of the family. “At the present day,” said Professor Joshi, “all kinds.of fanaticism are being fanned, both religious and _ scientific. ‘Zulu’. Scientists contend that race is the greatest thing, yet the greatest ethnolo- gists. have never agreed that this is so. It is therefore not unnatural that the Mohammedans should kill a few Ameri- cans; it is human nature—look at China, and at Chicago!” Moslem culture embodies many great €ssons for Christians to learn, and Chris- tiatfty has many in turn for the Moslems.
