The lecture was in French, and illustrated With lantern-slides. Monsieur Bouter- on was introduced by Monsieur Jean Canu. : Monsieur Bouteron took as his topic the year 1835, and described the crowded sequence of events ‘that. filled it, stressing Balzac’s visit to. Vienna, and:its influence upon him. Pictures of the places with which Balzac was neur. - Balzac himself, portraits of his friends, and _ iacsimilies of his manuscripts. were shown as slides. M. Bouteron opened ehis talk with a detailed description of novelist’s Parisian apartment, and went on to tell of Balzac’s appearance, his habits of work, -his inability to keep himself as a man of small estate, and his pretentions to nobility. M. Bou- teron léd up to the eventful year with mention of Balzac’s travels abroad ‘in Russia, ‘Switzerland and Italy, during which time he was nevertheless always t,’ and “Le Recherche de !’ Absolu.” On_his return to Paris he led a gay social life_in_the salons, but in_order to escape from. the Garde Nationale, he was finally compelled to joe ep the name of Mme. Veuve Durand, a magnificent apartment, later sical by him if “La Fille aux Yeux d’Or.” While he was in retreat ‘the Ambassa- _dor of Austria sought him out, and a ‘somewhat ironical interview was given him*by Balzac. Balzac was invited by the Ambassador to visit Vienna, and he-soon yielded to the inducement as he_felt-that—he—must—travel—somewhere: When he arrived in Vienna he received | a tremendous popular ovation as a great: novelist, and was also enter- tained by the cream of Vienna society. during his trip was obtained by Balzac from his visit to the Napoleonic battle grounds and monument; in one of his later works, Balzac pictured the battle with a remarkable simplicity. and .mel- ancholy.

D. MacDonald: showed moying pictures of the Odyssey cruise to a small group of students in the Auditorium of Goodhart Hall. The Odyssey cruisé offers acquaintance with the small and historic islands of the Ionian and Aegean..Seas.. which "latge cruisers are forced to omit. Starting at Venice and boarding the Odvssey at Ragusa, the members are carried to Corfu, Corinth, Athens, Crete and Rhodes, up the cost of Turkey and through the Sea of Mar- mora to Constantinople. The return trip follows the northern coast of the Aegean back to Athens, the Gulf of ‘Corinth and Venice. Many inland trips to historic: spots such as Delphi, Knossus and Troy are included, and the 1930 Odyssey for young women and adults arranges for a trip up the Danube and on to Oberammergau for the Passion Play: - The good felowship of the cruise was stressed as- well as the unusual educa- “tional” offerings of its itinerary. Swim- ming is-a favorite sport, and one of the+ interesting feats is to'cross the Helles- pont. The membership of the trip is limited to fifty, with twelve carefully selected young men. The Odyssey Mrs. an Three-Period Year Idea Open For Discussion In chapel Tuesday, February 4, Act- ing-President Manning spoke concern- ing further investigations being made by the Curriculum Committee. Presi- dent ae before leaving for Egypt, suggested. that the committee consider doing away with mid-year examina- tions... The Bryn Mawr: year is as short as that of any institution.im the country, and the curriculum would be so revised in order to lengthen the col- lege year, and to give time for a read- ing period in preparatign for final ex- aminations and also for papers and reports; the period between the end of Chrié8tmas vacation and the present schedule of mid-year examinations is a poor time for preparation. The main disadvantage of such a change, as ap- parent to the Ungergraduate Curricu- lum Comntittee, would be the necessity to remember’ a course for more thait one semester, a necessity that might be thought an advantage by the Fac- ulty.. Mrs. Manning hopes that the change might improve the character of the examinations, d make them more general comprehensive. Such changes in ystem, however, would have to be accomplished by a more careful regulation and schedule of quizzes; there might be under the new system an arrangement to break the year-into-three-parts instead of two. The Curriculesn” Committee is scarcely beginning to discuss the sub- ject, but: there is no- reason why the ‘undergraduates should not know that a change has been suggested so as to have the opportunity of discussing the ‘possibility themselves. The investiga- tion will be continued by the Curricu- lum Committee during the second se- mester.as a part of their general Pro- | cerned. gram, wv Exercise Enlivens the Minds of the Lazy In chapel. Thursday, February 6, Miss Josephine Petts announced the new chafiges in the system of the Physical Education Department. Miss Petts prefaced the announcement with explanation of the part physical education plays’ in college activities. Physical education in almost all col- leges requires four periods of exercise a week for four years; the plan at Bryh Mawr, however, is different—only two periods of required exercise for two years, The object of. an exercise _re- quirement is the essential building. up of vitality; the department wishes to feel that when students graduate. their trained minds are supported by agile ercise. In.most colleges gymnastics are required during the first two years; and-the exercise of the last two years is left to the students’ choice; here the activities are absolutely elective from the beginning. The department. be- lieves that no gymnastic system is ap- plicable to the problem of the college student, although there are certain good gymnastic exercises—such as those to be used on getting up—that Bs and an established habit of ex- 8 rthe individual:may be interested in. Exercise, possibly “more than any- thing else, contributes to aliveness. The department has worked out the. schedule so that it may be enjoyable, for exercise is wasted if it is not en- joyed. Further, the reasons for the requirement of only two years, are that in two years students should at- tain skill in oné activity. and that the only way to impress the essentiality of exercise upon the students is to let them learn by experience, so that in the Junior year will come a-slump, but in the Senior year a returh to the fold. Even as early as Ovid it was said: “See how: idleness the lazy body destroys, How water in the lake without move- ment spoils.” . Having arranged the minimum of re- quirement, the department holds the students to “strict accountability” for the attendance of classes; people - who | reconstruction, Co-Ordination Is ‘ Cause of Revolt Against Y Middle «Ages Re - Plato and Progre Modifying. -PERSUASION OVER FORCE Professor Whitehead in his second lec- ture under the Flexner Foundation began : “We will glafice at accessory causes and criticize the humanitarian ideal gath- ering ‘strength since_the nineteenth cen- tury. And we. will include the sketch of a reply to this criticism. “The growth of technology about the seventeenth century is the greatest of accessory causes weakening the success of slavery. The organization of a well- fixed. order. of. society. ina -well-man- aged feudal system must not be con- fused witlt slavery. The adjustment of big business in modern finance involves a closer analogy to feudalism feudalism to slavery. Individualists and socialists are: debating the details of a neo-feudalism which modern industry re- quires. The problem of social life is the problem of co-ordination of activities. Thanks to the growth of technology con- currently with the advance of. civiliza- tion; the Etirépean— races have—avoided- slavery. The economic movement of the eighteenth century with the growing sense of the kinship of man, urged _civ- ilized governmerits to’ extirpate slavery from the world. Before and during the ‘nineteenth century several strands of thought opposed the humanitarian idea. “Throughout the eighteenth century, the intelectual life of England was negligible so far as intellectual originality was con- But after. 1790 there was a of England’s »intellectual influence on the rest the .world.

SERIES FOURTH EVENT In Goodhart Hall on Wednesday eye- ning a concert was given by Beatrice Harrison, ‘cellist; Boris Koutzen, violin- ist, and Horace Alwyne, pianist, as the fourth event in the’ Bryn’ Mawr Series. Miss Mr. * Alwyne opened the the Long, deep-sounding Harrison and program with Brahms’ Sonata in E’Sninor. notes characterize bass the first. move- ment of this composition; in the second the lighter dance measures of an Alle- gretto quasi Minuetto relieve this elegiac ‘intonation; and with’ the gladsome mood carefully sustained the Sonata closes in 1. Allegro movement. There followed a Hungarian Sonata written expressly for Miss Harrison by ° Kodaly. This *composition is unique Ah that it is entirely unaccompanied. In dition Kodaly has put many new tech- nical ideas into the formation of the’ piece,—and_.the’cello—is—strained—to—its— utmost musical capacity. Miss Harrison gave a superb rendition of this difficult composition, while in her happy choice of an encore she connteracted. the daz- zling technicalities.of the Sonata with an antidote of pure melody. The third and fifth numbers in the program were. written by Delius, a com- poser | little recognized in America, al- though he is very well known in. Ger- many and in. England, where recently a whole week: was set apart for a music festival in honor of his works. As Mr. Alwyne explained,:Delius is one of the most—_tragic —_figures-—of contemporary music, since he now paralyzed and quite blind. His works have a certain distinguishing wistful quality’ and aloof- ness which is well brought out in the is Sonata No. 2 in C. This composition is written in -ohe---continuous. movement (con moto—l¢gnto—yvivace). for. the violin and piane.% Mr. Koutzen, who began somewhat stiffly, gave a creditable per- formance. The moody ‘thoughtfulness of Delius was expressed by Miss Harrison and Mr. Alwyne in the Sonata; which the com- poser had dedicated to Miss Harrison in whose garden he often wrote. It is a composition with an impassioned theme well adapted to the ‘cello. Of this same vibrant: sonority Elegie by Faure, which. Miss Harrison played assisted by Vernon Hammond’s accompaniment ; while in direct .contrast to such deep- woven harmony is—Scott’s Pastorale and -. Reel, where the ‘cello becomes a more* frivolous instrument and sings perhaps of a hundred shepherds competing in a bag- pipe playing contest. Indeed, under Miss Harrison's skillful hands the violoncello became a most astonishingly versatile in- strument, at times almost aS gay as a piccolo and at. other times as plaintive as a violin. The program was as follows: Violoncello ‘and Pianoforte: Sonata in E minor, Op. 38, Brahms; Allegro Allegretto quasi Minuetto, 1S non troppo, Allegro, - Violoncello: Hungariarr Sonata for ‘cello alone, Kodaly (written for Miss Harrison); Adagio (espressione), Al- legro molto vivace.

Book Review wane %-» y All Our Yesterdays H. M. Tomlinson (Harper and Bros.) H. M. Tomlinson is not an easy au- thor to criticize. The more common nuggets of the reviewer’s vocabulary simply cannot.be polished down to be used anew in the name of this novelist. Constructively his work is poor, Char- acter ’ painting. is practically nil— though Tomlinson’s* purely objective method. does give a kind of physical por- trayal of personality. There is none of the homely virtue of minute descrip- tion which can sometimes be held out as an author’s claim to dimmish glory. There. is not the clarity of aim which tably’ and know what is to come. Tomlinson is possibly beyond all these (if we must classify our heroes!) and his style is quite his own. The word which strikes us “as most applicable is “impressionism,” but that is a difficult word to explain, and it | often leads into tangled trends of artis- tic simile. However, we use it brave- ly, for its own sake. .Tomlinson’s method is’ impressionistic, then. He piles on words that often are not con- cretely applicable; they do usually, though, arrange themselves so as to leave the sometimes startled reader to show, and a feeling of heightened imaginative imagery. At times the reader is forced to work out the allu- sions hidden in these word heaps for himself. Often he finds himself lost in what had promised to be a thrilling word picture. Usually, -however his hopes are. more than gratified, and he tends to read the book slowly, in wait for these passages which are so good. The continuity of the novel, I repeat, Opening in a London dockyard in 1900, Tomlinson {allows himself _ample...opportunity—for-4— his favorite wharfside scenes. The launching of a dreadnaught, .a_ rather casual introduction - to-the- family Bolt, some talk of the battle for naval supremacy and of the distant. Boer out- break complete the section in a prom- ising but pon-illuminating Wav... he 1908, discloses Jim Maynard, our most constant character, in the wilds of Novobambia, adven- turing among unknown natives and scheming whites—the tools of foreign imperial aims. Though the pages. are thrilling, in action and in pure writ- ing, the SERS of t the -section-in the TOM we can only! look on it as enivber sine leading ee what becomes an obvious result—the war, It is the last sections of the book, written of the war days, that are most to my mind. ‘Said war has become.a well-known subject of liter- ary effort, possibly more in the novels of the -past year than-in the days just} preceding it; a war book has become something ‘to: avoid as: “the common= place. Not so this one. It seems to me that Tomlinson’s method is quite second section, ists. In-the majority of the books, anti-war sentiment is aroused. by lating as movingly, possible the experiences of individuals of whose pre-war lives we are usually well aware. Tomlinson, the other hand, rarely descends to the pathos of his few characters.. The best parts of the war- description are those which grasp the horror and agony of a world torn from its foundations; all of na- ture is caught as in sympathy with and suffering from the plight 6f mankind. The. picture of a cat, slinking away from the human touch, crazed and bes- tial, symbolizes the effect of.war. This type of thing is. stirring and deeply moving. When attempts the more personal stories of his. heroes he is less. good than other war writers we have read, and often more senti- mentally inclined; *he makes his situa- tions, and does not allow the reader to catch lis charactérs in any? but these obviously, dramatic: moments. The book i is not wholly disinterested; the propagandist’s point is fot so well buried as not to’ scratch the readers’ complacency. It_ crops, out in one particular moment wher a very charming old minister (friend of a Socialist—M.—P.,_ be—it—noted!) breaks out against the state of things in war-. re- as convincingly as on Tomlinson time: “My church is down.

In 1888 the Nineteenth Century (Vol- ume 23:918—) got-interested imayg, then three years old;-and printed an article by a junior, Alys Smith, on “A Woman’s College in the United States.” Those were the good old days when the tuition was $100 and cuts were unlimited, “since those who-do not pass their examinations at’ the end. of the year will not be re- ceived again.” Lantern Night was. al- ready in evidence, the lanterns being a “symbol of the light she (the student) will require for her guidance—above all in the choice of her group.” The first skits are described; one of them, repre- senting a search for earthworms, was particularly appreciated by the biology students. : Exercise was. universal, and the gym seems to have been overrun with enthtisi- astic students in “very -full Turkish trousers, loose blouses and tennis shoes,” dark blue and red being the favorite col-. ors.

Haircuts are ‘not as much in demand as they: were, and the Draper Hotel -Barber Shop is not so busy bobbing the hair of the students of Smith College today, as it was two years ago. Then, everyone had bobbed hair in some form or shape, and those who had not were acquiring it one by one. Shorter and shorter, more and more. shingled, grew the bobs: Now, fashion decrees that long hair is the sophisticated thing. Fewer girls come into the barber shop for trims and bobs, but still about half of the students have their. cherished short hair so that there is still a good number. of bobs and shingles. to be kept in order. But the barber shop can easily see that the business of letting one’s hair grow is a long and painful one. Many are the girls who come in and have hair that has grown down to the shoulders cut off. Discouragement and desperation are sometimes stronger than the commands of fashion. Hair that has been growing for almost two years is often sacrificéd to comfort. Another strange fact—though one might think that a: college student would be more interested in the coming and going of fashions than her little sister, this is.not the case. It is the little girls of twelve and thirteen who are most as- siduously letting their hair grow, perhaps “for something to do.” “No two girls want their hair done alike, and some of them don’t know What they do want”’ Some, however, have very definite, ideas and bring in pictures, clipped from magazines, saying that they,, want a bob like that of the picture, a demand which is hard on the barber_if the ‘girl just doesn't, ~by. any stretch of the imagination, look like the pictured movie star. All bobs are different and some have longer lives than others. The windblown, which was so popular for a me few months, did: not last: long, ‘as: it~cuts - the ‘hair so irregular that it is difficult x se Se en Now Established Announcement has been made of the incorporation of The Traversity, a new travel college, with a curriculum and discipline especially adapted to traveling. The name ‘Traversity” is derived from the verb ,to traverse, mearting to cross in traveling, wander. over, to examine or survey carefully. It is also a combina- tion of Travel’ University. Among the activities of The Trav- ersity will be the sailing in fall of a large group of students for a year of study around the world: An individual travel- ing by himself may also receive through The Traversity the same sort of assist- ance and direction provided for those traveling in student groups. Qualifica- tions will, not be ‘by examinations, but by evidence of sefious interest in world prob- lems such as politics, sociology, art, liter- ature, religions, trade and ‘commerce. The president of The Traversity is Sydney Greenbie. who has had -consid- erable executive experience in this type of education. Mr. Greenbie -is theu- thor of books“of travel, history and edu- cation. “The Traversity,” said Mr. Greenbie, when asked to define the scope of the institution, “is to be neither a. floating nor a drifting university. The idea of carrying on regular classes in stereotyped college courses on shipboard, and then going .off rah-rah sight-seeing for a couple of days in port, is’ pedagogical bunk. The Traversity aims to survey carefully but pleasurably all the phases of world-civilization that: interest the cultivated man of the world.

Six thousand girls at Foun have talked. over the new.longskirted styles; and nearly thre€-fourths of the total made a formal protest against the innovation. Almost every day some one becomes violent over.the new fash- ions. Many women who knew the discom- forts of stays. and voJuminous gowns get excited at the unhappy prospect of returning to that hampering clutch. It is really not at. all surprising that, they should object to something that re- minds them of the old days preceding their emancipation. The young things who rebel seem less credible. Little girls have always loved to dress up in mother’s clothes, and the college girls of today have been deprived of that privilege.’ At least, if they did put.on a grown-up frock, it was just like their own in its straight lines and short skirts. ‘Now they have a.chance to swish about haughtily in flowing silks, and -if-they.exclaim that they don’t want to, it is hard to betieve them, The male sex has been grinning from ear- to ear at the advent of the new styles and the apparent -relinquishment of the freedom which the fair sex won after a long-fought battle.

Politically there developed a competition between the pure Liberals and the modified? Liberals. From 1830. on, English Liberalism was decaying because its system lacked prac- tical ideas.
