Medieval. Delusion Shattered,
Knowledge Still in.

Small Units.

But

 

In Chapel on Friday morning, April
26, Hornell Hart spoke on “The Col-
lege of the Futuge.”
scientifig discoveries

has.. shattered

‘most of the medieval institutions and

they are being reconstructed along the

modern ‘scientific lines.. Copernicus
first began’ objective study, and his
work. resulted in the breaking down
of the old religious convictions and a
revolution of our attitude tqward the
universe. Similarly, the discovery of

__€lectricity and_ of the. new mechanical |

appliances has’ not only thrown over
the old system of economics, but has
wiped out the patriarchal: family with
its ruling’ man. Corresponding revo-
lutions may bé-cited in one field after
another.

The college of today is one of the
few, remaining “outposts of medieval-
ism,” and it cannot resist the scien-
tific impact. Already the delusion
that we hold the fulness of knowledge
‘is being shattered, and the open <atti-
the business man toward
progress. is. being carried over into
education. Already the surge of ‘scien-

tifie learning is felt in the kindergarten,

lower and secondary schools. .

What is the miatter with the college
as it is? An institution which pro-
duces blase students is certainly not
entirely healthy, and there are cer-
tainly a number of blase students at
Bryn Mawr, Let us approach this
question by looking into the purposes
of college. There is, first, the tradi-
tional purpose of passing on accumu-
lated knowledge to future generations,

_ and it is the overemphasis of this aim

which produces the boredom of the
student. Then there is. the functional
purpose of the college, and this falls
under three heads. The college ‘should
introduce’ students to the fun of the
intellectual game, to the thrill of play-
ing with concepts. Next the college
should teach the art of comradeship,
life together, the integration of pur-
pose necessary for progress. Lastly,
college should be a means of mobil-
izing the emotional forces of the stu-
dent and developing her ultimate ca-
pacities.

The college at present is run on

traditional lines. Knowledge is parti-
tioned off in little separate boxes, and
we swallow our package.and.regurgi-
tate it for examinations. But this.sys-
tem is proving impracticable,.’and
knowledge is refusing to be shut in
separate compartments.-. Take the
case of anthropology, where .the refer-
ence books are in use for history,
biology, archaeology—in fact, for most
courses. We are trying to face this
overlapping of fields by the introduc-
tion of allied subjects. :
_ There are attempts being made to
go’ at the’ college problem from a
functional point of view. Antioch
College, by means of the co-operative
system, is trying to link realities with
thecurriculum.- Both Bryn Mawr
and Swarthmore are experimenting
with honors work, an effort to get
at fundamentals through individual
exploration. A whole-hearted attack’ on
the college problem from a functional
point of view should result in a con-
ception of all college courses as rooms
from the central corridor leading, to
inecreased—understanding~of- life:

Dr. Schenck Given Ovations:
Receives Diploma for Work

 

On Monday afternoon, April 29, the
French Club entertained at. tea
honor of Dr. Eunice Morgan Schenck,

in

who has-been made an “officier d’Acad-

emie.” The tea was followed by the

ceremony of presenting the diplonra’

and a medal, which was given to Df.
Schenck by the members of the French
Club.

Mile. Parde was the, first to speak
and welcomed the French consul of
Philadelphia, .Mr. Weiller, who was
present in honor of the occasion. She
congratulated Dr. Schenck on the well-
merited acknowledgment she was re-
ceiving for her work in acquainting

‘the students at Bryn Mawr. with the

French language and literature. She
expressed her great pleasure in col-
laborating with such an intelligent and
interested French scholar, and: “her
pride-in-the—-honor--paid_her. friend. _

Mile. ;Parde was followed by Ws.
Weiller,{# who said. he had had the
pleasure of collaborating -with Dr.
Schenck frequently, and-wished to
voice his gratitude for the great serv-
ice she had rendered France. by help-
ing American students to understand
and love his country. He mentioned
the union which sentiment. has always
made between the two countries.
When America was young, “France
helped her in her struggle for. liberty,
and in the Great War America_re-
turned the service in a spirit of love
and friendship. Dr. Schenck is’ one
of those who are helping to bind
America and France still more closely
together. Then Mr. Weiller presented
to Dr: Schenck the diploma granted
by Monsieur le Ministre d’Instruction
et des Beaux Arts. Mrs. Schenck
pinned the médal, known as “palmes
academique,” on her daughter’s dress..

Dr. Schenck responded to her ova-
tign in attributing much of her suc-
cess to the collaboration of her intelli-
gent and devoted colleagues, and ended
with an expression of her great pride
in the honor which she had received.

Mr. Jones Emphasizes Need of
Simplicity in Stage
_ Setting.

 

URGES MORE SINCERITY.)

“Sharpen your image” was thie admo-
nition gjyen by. Mr. Robert Edmunds
Jones in his.lecture Tuesday evening,

April 23, in the Music Room of Good-
hart Hall. \ne

Mr. Jones began his fecture BF telling
of art in general. The hardest thing
about any profession is the fact that_it/
is almost an impossibility for an older
person to tell anything to a younger
person, as everyone has to carve out his
own destiny. The important thing con-
sists in finding out what you want to do
and then do just that and nothing else.
“Sharpen your image,” and this sharp
picture of ‘@ffat you ‘want to do will
carry you.to what you want.

The. professional theatre, Mr. Jones
said, is:rotten with incompetence and is
essentially a second-rate thing. The
sheer waste, of energy® and talent is un-
believable; but there is an unparalleled
opportunity to learn if one is teachable.
The ‘theatre unions are fascinating rep-
licas of the* medieval guilds. “No. mat-
ter how temperamental a person may
be, the show is “put out” at the exact
moment it is expected to go; there is
never any delay.

The experience of fifteen years in the

 

Jones that it is simplicity. which
counts_above-all-else...Various-examples
of this simplicity in scenery were shown,
as, for instance; in Macbeth, where Lady
Macheth enters with a single taper in
her. hand, the only. scenery,-on the
stage at the time. “A single 4aper
was enough for Shakespeare,” Mr. Jones
quoted to us from one of his own articles
on the subject. Shakespeare animates
the scene with his own. intense mood.
The candle light throws upon the wall
a walking shadow, and where the lay-
man seés nothing but the candle, Shakes-
peare saw a great revealing image. . This
is one of the most perfect examples of
dramatic imagination in art. .

Never be stopped in theatre work by
a lack of money, r. Jones warned.
The greater the simplicity, the more
intense the effect. The actors of the

were unable to-afferd-an-elaborate Rus-
Mr. Jones witnessed the same play pro-

stage setting and found it far more ef-
fective. Imagination must take the place
of ‘essiehon things.

Jones was once asked to be a
sata | in the choice of a stage design for
Lady Gregory’s The Dragon. In all of
the entries he found the most finished
study of the latest Viennese stage craft,
but nothing at all .of the Irish folk-
story. One-°’should always. go to ‘the
essentials of the thing at hand. A’ simi-
lar incident happened to Mr. Jones when
he was designing the set for a medieval
play in which some heraldic lions were
to be used. The public library was
searched for pictiires- of heraldic lions,
some of which were excellent, but which,
when copied, did not quite satisfy him;
something was. obviously -wrong. They
lacked what is known as “good theatre.”
To remedy the deficiency, Mr. Jones _im-
mediately set his imagination in .action.
He imagined the lion on the shield ‘of
Richard Coeur de Lion, the crusaders,
Sir Percival and the mystery. of the
Grail, the Song of Roland, Tristram and |
Isolde, and count]éss other things, allow-
ing his. fancy to roam among them in
revery. Then he set about to draw a
lion which would have his mood in it.
All art in. the theatre should be evoca-
tive; a good actor evokes. It is only a

theatre has brought the fact home to|

‘Skills’ in Business °
Topic of Talk in Chapel

Dr. Gilbreth, Registrar of Katherine
Gibbs Secretarial School and a famous
efficiency expert; spoke in chapel on
Monday morning, April 29, on the ad-
vantages. of a secretarial course.

She-said=that not only is it» almost
impossible to approach business and
industry without secretarial training,
but also that there is a definite satis-
faction in the number -ef “skills” that
one can acquire‘through the co-ordina-
tion of mind and hands.

 

Industry’ and business need college-
‘trained women’ who have had a busi-
ness course, not only to start in execu-
tive jobs, but to begin. as workers, so
they will learn the psychology of the
worker and therefore have a comiplete
experience. , The cdllege woman knows
how to spend -her leisure. This is a
very valuable asset, and one which].
she_should pass on. to her _fellow-
workers’ who. have had only a profes-
sional training. Of course, there is a
great deal of competition at the be-
ginning, and it often seems ‘that ex-

perience’and technique get farther, but

in the- end. the clvae-tenines mind
goes ahead. bs

Dr. Gijbreth explained that tikes and
‘dislikes are. important when one is
entering business and industry. She
classified) “skills” in .five divisions:
“skills” in handling material, money,
machines, papers‘ and men. The skill
that one has at the beginning is im-
portant, but few have had much ex-
-perience-in-dealing with men and ma-
chines, and these “skills” can be de-
veloped if one is truly interested.

Industry is then a matter of skill
and satisfaction, and’ one should always
find new. interests. It is Dr. Gil-
breth’s belief that women should
marry, and then go into business-and
industry for new “skills”. and. satisfac-
tions.

 

Aesthetic Movement Is
"Discussed by Miss Carey

 

In chapel on Wednesday Miss Carey
talked on the origins and characteristics

duced in Paris with the most simple pof the aesthetic movement in the decade

from 1880 to 1890. It was as a: specific
satire on this fad of aestheticism that
Patience was written and first presented
at the Opera Comique on the third of
April, 1888. Ever since then, Patience
has continued to be popular, probably
because the world’is always full of a
succession of fads, and thus the oper-
etta still has a point for its audience.

Oscar Wilde was the leader of this
aesthetic movement, and he and his fol-
lowers published a _yellow-bound— book
somewhat like##ransition in which James
Joyce put his writings. It is interesting
to note that Henry James was included
among the writers of the volume. ©

For the origin of the cult which pro-
duced such a fantastic and unbelievable
state of affairs, there is first of all the
Romantic movement in France led by
In_ England, the
Fabian Society in 1822, Bernard Shaw’s
plays, and the founding of the Labor
Parties were similar manifestations of a
new desire for ‘the freedom of the indi-
vidual.

Beside these influences,
made a great» point of a twist from
Classicism, and followed some of. the
concepts of the French School of De-
cadence which led them to aspire: “to

Debate Is Lost oe
to Swarthmore

Effervescent Wit and Sparkle”as
Advertising Is -
Deplored. :

 

 

ASPECTS CITED

 

Bryn Mawr, by the vote of the audi-
ence, went down to defeat before the
uperior debating power of Swarth-
et hk the first intercoHegiate debate,

Goodhart on Thursday evening, April
25. Any attempt to reproduce the
effervescent wit, sparkle and sprightli-

miserably futile..We-can-at best only
summarize the points made by the in-
dividual speakers. The question\ was,
“Resolved, that the influence of\ ad-
vertising on the public is deplorable.”

‘Bryn Mawr supported ‘the affirma-
tive and our first ‘speaker was Miss
Linn, ’29. She discuss
tion from an econamic pott of view.

tising is borne by the public, that our
standards. of judgment. are psycho-
logically destroyed, that new and un-
necessary demarids for luxuries are
created, that purchasing power will
soon be done away with, and that the

vertising, involves thé public in huge
debts. Miss’Linn’s whole speech was
an excellent synthesis of common
sense and humor. i

Mr. Westwood was the -first
speaker for the negative, and gave a
long, concrete example of the advan-

the producer and.the consumer. With-
out the mediunr of advertising in
Nebraska, meat is distributed in a

ing, however, -there is a. separation of
producer from consumer.- The pro-
ducer_can—concentrate—on—production
rather than distribution, and _ this
greater degree of specialization in
function makes for a-:higher degree
of efficiency all around. The_delivery
of Mr. Westwood’s speech was very
clear and convincing.

The aesthetic and political aspects of-

advertising were then deplored ‘by
Miss Wise. She alluded to unsightly
billboards, glaring lights, prostitution”

of art, and unpleasant advertising over
the tadio. She also stressed the point
that the policy of a newspaper is often

a good thing for any country. is :

Mr. Ferris declared that advertising
was responsible for the rapid ‘spread of
the. valuable radio, as well as the cir-_
culation of magazines and newspapers.
He believed that competition makes
for truth in advertising, and upheld
the fact that education and all kinds
of insurance have ‘been increased
through this medium. New products
are brought before the public eye, and
Mr. Ferris declared that he -was
charmed by the beauty of street-car
advertisements. Thus, on the whole,
advertising is a thoroughly laudable
institution.

The moral evils brought about by
advertising weré then attacked vigor-
ously by Miss Lambert. She pointed
out that advertising lowers our stand-
ards of accuracy and brings about
self-consciousness ‘and inferiority com-
plexes by ealling attention tq deformi-
ties and also fosters the white slave
traffic. Furthermore, a great evil ‘is
that of standardization and cofnmer-
cialization, which ‘is apparent in all
phases of our life; clothes, cosmetics,

THE GREAT UNKNOWN

The Great- Unknown has come
upon the chemistry minors, one-
act plays are: terrifying the fresh-
men, frogs’ egg’s are inflicted upon
the biology department, and today
‘is May Day. Verily the-year hath
reached its end and we can glarf€e
into the. summer joys, and into the
unknown beyond. Thanks to. Miss
Carey, the future is taking shape
for most of us, and we are carefully
preserving our dean slips in sum-
mer moth balls. But, alas! for the
seniors. They face the great un-
known with no kind-course card-to
rely on. . May the suggestions. ofthe
college, now. all knowns to, them,
bring them luck in the last analysis.

 

INCENTIVE ON DEMAND

What w@need is encouragement.
Spring is here, it’s hard-to work,
exams start, and we have innum-
erable reports to write. The trouble
is that there is no one left to be
encouraging. . Every one is in the
same boat. The stacks are crowd-
ed and as for reserving a desk in
the lib—try it. Some plan ought
to be devised to make things easier
for us. Why not a system of pro-
fessional. encouragement ?

During the war some American

officers found a way to make the
negro troops work faster. » The
troops: had—the~ habit of singing
while they worked and keeping time
to the music. So by merely ap-
_ pointing a singing master, who in-
creased the tempo, twice the usual
amount of work was accomplished.
We might try something like_that.
Think of writing to music! The
idea is intriguing.

in another, the thought will be sum-.

marized so briefly that the original em-
phasis is lost and the connection between
ideas: hardly made clear.

Very often, I think, addresses are re-
ported extremely well. Sermons and
chapel speeches seem to suffer most. One
knows that it is not easy to take hotes,
to select. from them-the important points,
and to put together an interesting and
accurate representation of what was said.
Perhaps the solution would lie in get-
ting the text from the speaker and work-
ing from’ that. And perhaps the impor-
tance of writing up stich speeches accu-
rately, if they are attempted at all, will
be more apparent if ‘it is remembered
that the News goes to a large number of
alumnae and parents who always take
great interest in the public utterances
of college officials. -

js MILLICENT CAREY.

 

To the Editor of the CotLece News:

As an alumna of the college and pres-
ent Graduate students I have had and do
still have work té doin the library. In
consequence I feel that I, havé a right
to make one or two small complaints.

Although I have heard some com-
plaints from various people who, use the
library Iwill pass them over in silence
and state only my, own: experiences.

The first thing that troubles ‘me is the
lack of interest and help that one often
finds at the desk. Of course, at times,
everything is as you could wish it there,
but at other times you are not, B@lped
at all, either through inability or unwill-
ingness, neither of which should exist in
: 4

Then the other situation that annoys

.me very much is the shutting up of the

library at night. Nominally,-I- know, the
building closes at ten, but the usual pro-

cedure is as follows: 9.30 or earlier, |

great noise of shutting windows, shutting
doors, trampling feet and jingling keys;

‘any time from 9.45 to 9.55 eviction from

reading room, reserve book room, new
book room, @t,; also any time after a

activities themselves..~“There is no need
to’ review *the Board’s efforts to carry
out this idea—all of you have helped us,
and if we have succeeded at all it is be-
cause of the loyal support given us by
all those who have worked with us. We
cannot judge at close range the value
of this first year of the Bryn’ Mawr
Feague. Inevitably discouragements
have come, dnd at moments we have
wondered. whether we. are justified “in
carrying it on.
éxpect startling results from a new ex-
periment, and we have found ourselves
and our work thoroughly undramatic.
When one comes right down to it, how-
- ever, it seems to me that we have made
one or tw. steps forward which will
make» gréat “progress possible. in the
future. - 2°

In the first place we have tried to get
rid of the idea of being an organization
to which evetyone ought to belong. If
all the college belonged we would at
once have the problem of the old C. A.
—a static group unable to move because
of being littered up with dead wood.
So our stress has been not so much on
numbers as on active interest. Again,
though we~may not always™ have suc-
ceeded, we have tried to make sure that
this interest was spontanéous and not
forced. You may remember the old
‘ days of being hauled out of your rooms"
on Sunday evenings to make an audience
- for ‘the ministers’ Our few outside
speakers have paid the price of not hay-
ing many. listeners, but -we have been
able to assure them that with the pos-
sible exception of the Choir, the ones
they do have are there quite voluntarily.
_In the second place, the flexibility and
informality of otr structure as far as
‘the board is concerned is a great advan-
-tage in our sort of organization. We
ought not to settle down into a mechan-
ism that grinds out work, perhaps effi-
ciently,- but lifelessly. We must always
be pliable-and-subject-to change ‘if change}
* will further the things for which we are
working: --The~calm~-way ~in: which we
suddenly elected Freshmen and Sopho-
more members to the Board in the mid-
* dle ofithe year may seemr unorderly to.
~ methodical minds, but at least it is an
indication that we haven't settled into
a rut!

The most important phase of all, how-
ever, is something much less tangible.
We did a dangerous thitig last spring in
cutting out all idea of a pledge or’a
purpose. . We wanted every member to
interpret through her interest and-work
im*the League the ideals“in. which she
believes, quite regardless of what they
may be. This has meant, I think, a

Miss Lambert reached the highest
peak of humor’ of thé evening.

Mr. Kané struck a> upedatic. note
concerning the points that Bryn Mawr
had niade. He assured us that adver-
tising recognized its own evils ,and
was attempting to ‘corre: them.
There is a “truth in advertising” move-

ment going on at. present, and: since |’

we can offer no better substitute, the
only thing to do is to accept adver-
tising as it.is and look to: the :future,

for it will undoubtedly increase re-|

liability and-eliminate fraud; otherwise
it will defeat its own purpose. 'He
closed hiss comments with an excel-
lent figure of speech in which he
showed that. advertising brought new
ideas and methods of life before the
public in the same’ way. that stone
figures on a cathedral used to do in
mediaeval tines, and declared that the
minor évils of present-day advertising
could be easily remedied, -and. that it
can be a valuable selling and educa~
‘tional cog. :

Miss Linn took the rebuttal for
Bryn Mawr, and stated’ that. she de-
plored the advertising which stimu-
