Miss Millay, a Gifted Lyricist, Speaking Here Miss Edna St. Vincent Millay, poet and playwright, is—coffirig-to read her own poems Thursday evening, November 22, i Goodhart Hall. Miss Millay was born on. February 22, 1892, at Rockland, Maine. : After a childhood spent almost entirely in New England, ‘she entered VasSar Col- lege, from which she was graduated. in i917. Since that time Miss. Millay. has: ‘lived in New York City. At first reduced to a single rdom, sustained by tea and coffee,._.Miss—Millay—in-“a—year—or—two began to enjoy an extraordinary literary popularity. Louis Untermeyer speaks of the poet as “the most gifted of the younger tyricists.” . And truly Miss Millay de- serves the comment. Her first long poem,. “Renascence,’ was written when the poet’ was scarcely 19 years old. The poem is keenly. individualistic. “The sheer cumulative power of this poem is sur- passed cnly by its passages of individual oeauty.” : Renaseence, containing the’ title poem, published in 1917, was Miss frst volume. It was followed by “igs from Thistles, 1920; Second April, 1921; Three Plays, 1921, and The Harp- Weaver and Other Poems, 1924. Besides Lyrics, Miss Millay has written a.number” of short stories. Dialogues, 1924, was published under the name. of “Nancy Boyd.” ‘ Mis8° Millay has also translated sev- cral songs and has been connected with the Provincetown Players both as play- wright and performer. .

As. we remember how Willa Cather charmed her audience in old Taylor, we ure sure a large gathering will greet Miss Millay ‘in spacious Goodhart,, 4 Ss Cast Announced The cast for the French Club play “Le Professeur,” which will be given on December 8, has been chosen, and rehearsals are in prog- ress.

The speakers” for the ‘affirmative were A. Lord, ’31, and: V. Hobart, ’31; for the .negative: A. Merrill; 730, and J. Wise, :’30. Defines English. System. Miss Lord opened the debate. After giving a brief definition of the English system, as°one in which each student has the personal assistance of a tutor and opportunities fog, independent -re- search, with no compulsion to attend lectures and few examinations, the first speaker for the affirmative pointed out three advantages of sugh a method. What is education, she asked? It is preparation -for life after college. Those who are trained to specialize in some subject and to get their educa- tion from independent research, rather than from lectures, are better. pfepared for life. Next comes the question of attitude. In the English system the college offers to the student excellent facili- ties, but makes no effort at .compul- sion... H® feels that to accept them is a privilege, instead of a carking neces-|. sity. His intellectual obligation “is As it is modern and constructive in its other aspects, the English educa- tional methcd-is modern in its em- phasis on individualism.

RATS A Behaviorist was to us an unknown What would look like who was~popularly supposed to quantity. a man © believe that there was no thought. ex- e Vaguely, we ex- pected to see a Robot sort of creature | appear on the platform... When Watson rose to speak we were half disappointed, half pleasantly surprised. For he looked so very human, so very natural and like everyone else, even to the horn-rimmed glasses, And his first words bore out his ap- pearance. “Behaviorists are simple- “What they are after is a return to"common sense. They want to remove the mysteries from psychology and get down to rock-bottom again.” He admitted that consciousness could not be denied, but said that a study of it got nowhere. “You just beat about the bush and define consciousness in terms of con- sciousness.” Behaviorism does. not claim to be a method but only a new point-of-view. ~~ It--started~ the-first really objective school of psychology. Dr; Watson worked first of all with rats, and found that almost anything could be done with them. Then he decided to work out human psychology in the same objective way as with rats. Thus the Behaviorists’ platform is very simple: the study of human behavior by an objective scientific method. The general hypothesis is, given the stimu- lus, to try and predict the response; or else to predict the stimulus from study- ing ‘the action. This premise is hard to quarrel with. Human Infant Worked On. On deciding on the objective method for human psychology, Dr. Watson went. to.the human infant fora sub- ject, the new-born baby being the pur- est subject available. . He said that up to the time of..Behaviorism, instincts were regarded as God-given and heredi- tary:./But when a Behaviorist watches for different instincts to develop in the squirming mass. of protoplasm that is a baby, he finds simply that they do not. Laboratory experience him skeptical of the whole theory’ of instincts. He finds a long list of sim- innate patterns such as were previ- ously believed in. In his own experi- ments Dr. Watson only found -two stimuli which would make the infant show the reaction that psychologists call fear, the reaction that Behavior- ists prefer to call Reaction X.. And yet adults are shot through with all sorts of fear’reactions. The stimuli for bringing out the other emotion. reac- tions. were ‘likewise found to be few and simple in the young infant. Thus all our complex emotional life is built up ,on this extremely simple. basis.

All we know of the future is that it will not be the same as.the past. As the In- ternational Secretary of the Woman's International League for Peace,’ Miss Balch said she once received. a letter from a woman who said that she had begun her career by working for the abolition..of-slavery....After_the..Eman- cipation, ‘she turned. her attention to the struggle for women’s suffrage. Now that this too was an accomplished fact, she wished to devote her ener- gies to the abolition of war. Perhaps, Miss Balch said, the third-reform will also come within the span of that woman’s life. The others seemed no more impossible when they were first discussed.

Radical changes are rearing their, heads above the hitherto peaceful and self-assured surface of our life. The very foundations_of the college platform are being undermined. Our indif- ference, so much prized, so much part of our latter-day tradition as to be unconsciously accepted ‘and allowed for, is passing. In our tight-lipped determination not to be enthusiastic in the usual absurd collegiate manner, we had achieved a new collegiate type. ~ We were bravely, defiantly, proudly blase.

Required athletics for Fresh- men and Sophomores, instead of béing a mere obligation to be ful- filled in’ any old way, becomes a definite educational system. With two periods a week of one sport they will develop real skill in some kind of activity and will come to re- gard athletics, not as arbitrary re- yirement but as a part of their edu- cation, Hygiene, when linked with ‘body mechanics, will be practical eg applicable. ‘Three. periods a week, moreover Oi omens counting hygiene), is excessive. ics Saar oee os nes sane By: the old system, ‘four were re- quired. “Seniors are at Boal -|-tions..of consciens jupper classes as a result of this -Pgenerous attitude. -Public Ledger Saturday. -coat— is kKhow better.

We never cared much for The, Street Angel; in our eyes it was never an. epic of the ‘screen or‘even a_ gripping human drama. We do not rise to its defense with a great deal of en- thusiasm. But we would be willing to swear that the picture it presents of Italian life is no less true, no more insulting—if you are looking for insults—than mést~ of “the movies about college life, even most of the movies about life at all. But no one cares. about the authenticity ‘of movies. Surely, if Mussolini must be angered, he can find some- thing more worthy of his giant wrath. DO NEW: CLOTHES MAKE THR MAN? An interesting cartoon, entitled “Stepping Out,” appeared in the dd Avery spry old gentleman with the tradi- tional Van Dyke beard greets. you. He is arrayed in new clothes. His - is—marked-_INDUSTRIAL- ISM, his overcoat PROTECTIVE TARIFF and his hat THE NEW SOUTH. In the background stands a horrified old lady clutching his discarded coat, branded SECTION- ISM. His old breeches, PLAN- TATION DAYS, hang on a chair, and on the floor sprawls a broad- brimmed hat, THE OLD SOUTH. This cartoon supposedly indicates’ that the South has at last stepped out of her ‘sleepy position into a bigger and better place. The--South—is--becoming indus- trialized. Northern financiers have, and. still continue to flock to Vir- ginia, North Carolina, Florida, etc. Bit to consider that the turn of the South in the last election to Herbert’ Hoover was,,caused by its new in- terest ‘in’ industrialism, protective tariff and national affairs is a mis- take. The South was anti-Smith, to a larg@ degree because of Smith’s connections, with Tammany, his. re- ligion, and his wet policy. Had the average Southern véters considered the merits of the two candidates impartially, studied the whole of their platforms, and then voted: for Hoover because he and his party | offered the platform which to them | seemed best to meet the needs of the country as a whole and sec- tionally, then the South would have awakened at last. But as long as states like North Carolina can swallow (as a noted Southern writer put it) the apple pie which , for twenty years or more ‘Simmons has been spitting tobacco juice into, the situation’ is deplor-' able. Personal prejudice turned the South against Smith. Any other man could have carried the South for the Presidency for the Demo- cratic party, as the Senate, He and Staté élections show.

From Other Colleges ‘The Herd Instinct: President Eliot, of Harvard, once cited as part of the equipment a student should acquire in college, the habit of indépend- Pent thinking on books, prevailing’ cus- toms and current events. It was his idea that any student who had received the highest benefit from a college education would have developed a mind capable of making decisions without reliance upon popular—opinion. It is unf6rtunately evident either that President Eliot was too--eptimistic,. or that those who absorb to the fullest ex> -| tent the advantages. offered at college are} WV ppitifully few.

Spear Describes beauty ‘a - -" “Value of Visit to - = —~Palestine: "~~ Constance Speer, ’30, in the Sunday evening. meeting of the Bryn Mawr League, November 18, gave a most .in- teresting: talk on her experiences in Jerusalem last year. foe “I don’t know how much Jerusalem means to you,” began. Miss Speer. ~. “Whether it is just a place that you have’ heard of for years,. inx Sunday School, or in studying geography; or whether ’ You think of it as some rather impossible place, which must be messy if it: is al- ways flowing with milk‘and honey. It is ~*“hard to’ think of a place which you have never seen as anything more than a dis- tant dot on a far away country, that may be either pink or green or yellow-de- pending upon the map from which you * studied aoout i : “Jerusalem had never ‘ie anything more than that to me until last March. Then after progressing further® and further back into ‘history, seeing. first Gibraltar and Algiers, then Pompeii and Athens, got on the train one evening to go to Jerusalem. - Late -at night we. had_ to change trains and cross the Suez Candi. It was a strange experience—getting out of the train into a dark, starry night and waiting for the ferry, while the boats, darker outlines against the dark night, went silently along ‘the Canal. It made one rather wonder what an ancient Egyp- tian would have thought of itary ct “and materials. “was the same desert and the same stars | that have always been there, but there |* was the canal and the ships, and above all the trains, a queer combination of the old and the new. From there we went on to Jerusalem and it was with a star- tled. feeling that we got off the train and ‘found ourselves’ in the Jerusalem railroad station, with the sign ‘Jerusa- lem’ written in three lahguages—English, Arabic and Hebrew. It was -very much like “having some old and very respectable portrait of your great-grandmother sud- denly step out ‘of its frame and come to life—very much. to life. Through the modern outskirts*of the city we drove in one of Jerusalem’s taxicabs, which are equipped with meters just like any other taxi, to the American Colony where we were *to. Stay. A “Outside the walls Jerusalem is .mod- ern, comparatively speaking, and it is not until you have been through the walled city that the picture really comes to life. In_the bazaars, which for the most-part, are remnants of the Crusaders’ times, you, feel that except for. the few traces of British influence and of the European “‘clothes,: the-.time might be any time in “the past eight hundred or thousand* years.” Jerusalem Is Unbelievably Small. “As for the size—it is tiny. You can walk from the south wall by the Tem- ple, to the Damascus gate on the north side in half an hour, including time out for-tosing your way and finding no one to direct you until’ a dirty urchin, with a French name, Arabic ancestry, and a4 knowledge of English, rescues you. The size of Jerusalem gives one an idea of the size of all. Palestine. It seems in- ‘credible that a country so small could have held so much history. It takes ‘only half a day to drive the width of Palestine, and. in a whole day one can drive the entire length: “From the Mount of Olives to the east, you can look over the city on one side, and on the other side one can- look down upon the Dead Sea and Jericho, and even beyond them to the mountains of Moab, the part of Palestine that is Transjordania. Without having seen Jerugalem and Palestine it is hard to visualize .them. There are no_ trees, water is conspicuous by its absence. The only things of which there is an abund- ance is babies, dirty but adorable; flow- ers of innumerable colors and varieties, and rocks, which come in all sizes, shapes The story is that when God was making the world, he sent out an angel with two bags of stones to scat- ter all over the earth. The angel got along. successfully until he flew over Jerusalem, but there the last bag burst and Palestine got more than its quota. Christ Lives for You Here. “Making Palestine alive seems to make, all the old Biblical characters come to life, too. David seems very far away and shadowy until you find yourself picking up stones in the very brook from which he gathered the only weapons he used against Goliath, The Old Testa- ment characters, however, are not the only ones who are revivified. Being -in Bethlehem’ and Nazareth during Easter Week is an experience not easily for- gotten.. It is so easy to think of Jesus | the. same country that’ He-once’saw, Hey Constantinople and Cairo, we} from which wars used to™arise and painting without perspective,’ a rather al ae ee wn ar Being for whom we have no great enthusiasm or inter- est. But after seeing His background, Pye, B where He once walked, seeing immediately becomes a ‘most: outstand- ing figure. You forget the fact that through the ages since then the em- phasis has been laid upon a dead Christ, a man who was crucified, and that the church has built up’ oufward forms far different than anything He would have desired.’ You realize instead that H lived, was crucified and rose again.” “Religion—Christianity—is not cén- forming to any set system of belief, it is a way of life. | Christ not only found the way He was the way. And if you want any modern symbor” ‘for. the univer- sality of Christ's way, go back to the railroad station and look at the sign— ‘Jerusalem, in English, Arabic and Hebrew. “Only three languages are there represented, but there are many others in which the words ‘Jerusalem’ and ‘Christ’ are well known.” Balch Talks Peace Continued from Pose One ciatfons of war-resisters, th ‘English movement led by Ponsonby which is making& sO/many converts among the working classes of Germany, and many other factors, all tend towards the same end. Also Criticizes, Certain criticisms of ‘the Kellogg pact have been made, It has been | called-an-imperfect_legal-doeumentbe-|- .cause of the question of self-defense. Sir “Austen Chamberlain has indicated that England ise under obligation to defend various outlying regions as well as her,qwn strict territorial limits. (In this he was probably referring to Egypt.) The French are disturbed by | the fact ‘that no penalties are imposed for infractions of the “pact. The French, like the Americans, always like definite..statements.-in--black-and- white providing for every contingency, while the. English prefer broad _ outlines which can be filled in later according to circumstances. Another criticism, that the methods of settling disputes alternative to war, are not specified, is relatively unim- portant.. If the -nations will consent, the means are at hand and have been’ worked out to a considerable extent. The Outlawry of War people have come out against the “Peaceful Set- tlement” of all disputes. Some ques- tions they say are better left unsettled, or settle~themselves. This method, however, leaves “the plaintiff non- suited, and the accused nation able to «| disregard* thé protest. Lippman, in The Atlantic Monthly, has shown that in cutting out war you have certainly not injured-the cause of,the weak, even: if you have not materially helped it, since what a weak nation .cannot get. by arbitration, it certainly cannot get by war. The abolition of war, moreover, will take the sting out of many questions which cause disputes between nations. The problems: of strategic frontiers, of the-controt of the Dardanelles and the route to India, the Panama”Canal, the freedom of the seas, would all sink into insignificance if wars were not to be expected and provided for. The present status in regard to world peace was‘the last topic touched upon by: Miss Balch. Treaty Not Yet Ratified. On sAugust 27, fifteen nations signed the Kellogg pact in Paris. It has yet to be ratified by various lawmaking bodies, but this’ situation has _ never- caused any difficulties except where the United States Senate is concerned. On account of the bad reputation. of the United States in the matter of rati- fication, various countries are restrain- | ing, their enthusiasm until they see whether we are really going to come through. Meanwhile the pact has been submitted. to the other forty-nine’ nations. Russia,has adhered. So have India..and Egypt, which were at one time “Weried to "have deglined. In fact all but six nations have adhered to the pact. These are all in South America except Iceland, which has no} naval vessel, and not_a single soldier. The South American countries are probably waiting to see what Se Unitéd- States will do. The question of ratification ual to : come up early in the- short session of Congres$: The Boulder Dam and the new naval program come first on the legislative schedule, but the executive program, in which the pact is included, ‘Christ only as an historical character—a may come in anywhere according to | a err THE COLLEGENEWS the wishes: of the President. It is to be hoped that/President Coolidge will not create a baMimpression abroad by Withholding the pact until’ the Senate ‘has “deliberated on the question of in-. beaded’ ‘the Navy. pera Débate Drew Crowd Continued from: Page One , the sympathy of the The American system, she and engaged audience. i said, is demogratic, financiafly and in- |: tellectually. Independent effort is only possible for the very intelligent: Most of us are not very intelligent. _Our system majority. ‘Miss *Wise then pointed- out the nthe advantages of specialization and the benefits of a wide cultural background; the ability to took at things as whole, was, she said, best inculcated by our lecture system. She emphasized the ithportance of mental discipline and training in logical thought. We learn to get a definite piece of work done in a stated time, and, throu&h examina- tions and quizzes, to act in crises. Class discussion teaches us co-opera- tion, Miss Hobart, second for the affirma- tive, rose to the attack. The most vigorous of the speakers, she was also the most humorous, idea that everything can be taught by lectures. The audience of the debate, by its: mere presence, was acknowledg- ing the need for training in’ self-ex- pression. -Lectures,are- stereotyped: The-notes from last year bear an uncanny re- semblance to the notes of this year in the same class. This is the fault, not of the teacher, but of:the system. _He derives no inspiration from talking to a lot of dumb listeners. How selfish of you, Miss Hobart said, to want the professors. to go on lecturing, when ‘they would so much rather be engaged in research. Lec- turing is-a-relic-of the days- before the dictaphone. We could turn it*on and be. just as well instructed. By the present system we are at the mercy of the slowness of our own. note-taking, or of "the .speed of the professor; we cannot set the-record .back to where -we lost track. Do lectures prepare us -for continu- ing our studies after college? Will we be able, in after life, to depend on the constant stimulus of lectures and quizzes? No. This brought up a question of quizzes and examinations. We learn by sections, forgetting what we have learned as soon as’ the examination is over. Who remembers at the finals in “May “what slie Téarned in the ‘first semester? Our degree, at the end’ of four years, is but the record of seven almost unrelated batches of knowedge, forgotten almost as soon as acquired. We have no conception of eur work as a whole. Miss Merrill opened the last defense of the negative with a definition of education drawn from. Webster’s. dic- tionary and her own conceptions. Education consists of ‘discipline, in- structions, development of the mind, eultivation of initiative, and the, train- ing of the critical faculties. showed how each: one of these ,points was inadequately mét*by the English system. It gives no discipline; its tutors offer guidance, not ‘instruction; and its lecturers, dependent for their audience on their ability to attract lis- teners, descend to theatricality to at- tract popularity. The system accus- toms the mind to the accumulation of minute details, instead of a broad and well-balanced understanding. negessity of having ten tutors where in America there would “be one Pro- fessor, lowers the standard, ‘The tutor is often young and inexperienced, and will not make any special effort to prepare for discussion with his one or two pupils. Finally the critical faculty is subordinated to the accumiulation of material. Both Sides Battle on Rebuttal.

Miss Hobart’s arguments were: that it is better’to cultivate the intelligent—few than “the medioere ‘majority; that the critical faculty and the metliod of attack can only bé ' gained by individual experience in re- search;. and that both the tutor and the student would be more likely to| come to a “tete- a-tete prepared for in- telligent discussion, than would a mere lecturer, or a student who was but one ina large class. Miss Wise pointed Sut that the American student has every opportu-}- nity’ to" Specialize in graduate work, and that the first two years of general culture give him an opportunity to choose the subject’ for specialization wisely. She defended the lectures against the charge of being. stereo- typéd and the students against the charge of having no opportunity for self-expression. . The floor was opened for discus- sion, which was forthcoming to a sur- prising degree till cut short by the exigencies of time.

Bryn News From Other Colleges ( Visiting Classes ‘The’ interested student, when deter- ‘mining on the courses which he will follow. is continually faced with the necessity of eliminating many- studies which hold an ‘intrinsic. interest for him and of consequently hindering a certain breadth of intellectual inter- est. \ C ‘While. the value of Satieaiiiiialton in one field is: self-evident, the fact that rextessive focusing of interest upon\ one subject is lkiely to produce a narrow, ’ Biased point ‘of view is to our mind equally obvious. Even for those students whose in- terests are centered essentially upon one field, an observation of the con- trasting methods of approach em-j| ployed for that'same subject by dif- ferent departments should be of great interest as .well as of considerable broadening ‘value. For the student of Elizabethan literature there should be some usefulness in a consideration of the approach of English history upon ; “his field.
