The College VOL. ‘XXII, No. 17 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1936 @COLLEG Copyright PRIN MAWR == EWS, 1936 PRICE 10 CENTS Comic Spirit Sthiles As Maids Perform Tarkington’s Play Clarence an Excellent® Vehicle ¢ For Humorous, Well-Acted Portrayals (eae ENJOYMENT OF ACTING IS_ BASIS OF SUCCESS To give a sincere performance is a work of merit. To give a felicitous and humorous perfdrmance without the conscious stage tricks of the pro- fessional actor or the over-trained and underdeveloped amateur is the work of actors who enjoy life on the stage as much as they do off the stage. This enjoyment of acting was the basis of the college maids’ and porters’ performance of Booth Tarkington’s Clarence. The play was not only well- chosen and acted, but excellently di- rected by Huldah Cheek, ’38. The comic spirit has rarely smiled so benevolently and naturally on Good- hart stage. Nor did its smile de- crease; rather it grew broader and provoked the kind of hearty laughter which was directly in keeping with the ease of the play. Humorous portrayals of characters | in natural but often overwrought fam- ily relations often provide the flavor of Tarkington’s comedies, In _ this particular play, the group is centered around the mysterious’ Clarence, of whom no one knows anything, but who has the imaginative capacity to tell convincing fish stories and the ability to drive a mule without swearing. Whittaker’s performance as Clarence, together with his other talents, might recommend him for a part in Porgy and Bess’ (but we do not wish to put any ideas into his head). He was ex- cellently cast and gave a humorous and/charming performance from his first appearance as an unemployed soldier who sagged to one side because his liver, to the final disclosure of his identity as Dr. Smith, the famous coleopter or beetle specialist. Every- one in the Wheeler household suc- cumbed to Clarence’s army experience and noncommittal ability to befriend everyone, until he succeeded in car- rying off Miss Pinney, the governess with whom all the male members of the play were in love. Miss Pinney was the only truly unrattled person in the play Hilda, as Cora Wheeler, was a typical spoiled brat, the nuisance of her pretty governess, susceptible to anything in pants, but still a quib- bler and a tattle-tale. Her perform- ance was exquisitely pert and fluttery; she was weeping one minute, laugh- ing or dancing about in a _ scatter- brained fashion the next, and always wondering what was happening. She portrayed a real, unartificial ingenue Continued on Page Four A. J. B. Wace to Discuss Ancient Ivory Trade The. speaker next Sunday afternoon at the Deanery will be Mr. A. J. B. Wace, Professor of Archaeology at Cambridge University, England. For many years Mr. Wace was Assistant Director of the British School of Archaeology at Athens, where he gained a great reputation for his work on the chronology of the Mycenean age. In his excavations he sought for‘ and found information supple- menting the work done by Heinrich Schliemann at Mycenae. Several years ago Mr. Wace lec- tured on his findings in America, and attracted a great deal of attention. During his years in Greece he became interested in modern Greek textiles, : and became such an authority on the: subject that, when he left Athens, he was offered the position of curator of textiles in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The position he now holds as Professor of Archaeol- ogy at Cambridge is one of the most important accessible to an. English archaeologist. The subject of Mr. Wace’s talk next Sunday will be The Ancient Ivory Trade. | | Group Speakers Discuss Regulation of Industry Common Room, March 11.—At the last supper held by the Industrial Group Miss Fairchild and Mr. Ander- son discfissed the problem of regula- tion of industry, with special refer- ence to the New Deal. Both agreed that some sort of government regula- tion was necessary to ensure the equitable distribution of reduced profits and to impose uniform condi- tions on all industries and trades. They felt that the New Deal failed to do these things, although they ap- proved of some of its measures, such as the refinancing of mortgages, building and repair loans and labor union provisions. Mr. Anderson par- ticularly emphasized the fact that in a depression ““‘the number of apples to go around,” is smaller and it is necessary to reduce interest rates, as well as wages, in order to stimulate industry and to have a reasonably fair and even reduction of profits. Miss Fairchild opened the discus- sion by describing some of the social effects of the New Deal. In 1932 pay- rolls were down to forty-six per cent of what is considered the normal (the average of the years 1923-1925), and were forty per cent less than in 1929. Employment was also down to sixty per cent of the normal. The New Deal tried to increase purchasing power by raising wages with its minimum wage provisions, and to end unem- ployment by maximum hour regula- Continued on Page Four Willert Thinks War In Europe Unlikely England Holds Balance in Crisis Caused by Breakdown of Security System LEAGUE SUPPORT VITAL The Deanery, March 25.—Britain holds the key to the problem of peace or war in Europe today, in the opinion of Sir Arthur Willert, K. B. E., Head of Publicity in the British Foreign Office until April, 1985, now Washing- ton correspondent for the London Times, and author of What Next in Europe? The present crisis is built upon fear and discontent and it lies within England’s power through her participation in the League of Nations to combat these two trouble-breeding elements. The real problem behind the threat of war is how to make Europe feel safe. The answer lies in the proper participation of England in the police system of the League of,Nations. Eu- rope has given up expecting America to take part because of her own diffi- culties in her own hemisphere. If Britain, however, can play a leading part in organizing security, war may be successfully . avoided. Captain Anthony Eden, Foreign Minister and one hundred per cent League man, is doing his best to draw England into the collective security system. Eng- land realizes the likelihood of war and the. impossibility of neutrality. That | she feels that the League is the best way to prevent war was shown by the Peace Ballot of Lord Cecil in May, 1935, in which an overwhelming num- ber of votes were in favor of strong participation in the League. All the troubles of Europe are due to the breakdown of the security sys- tem. The system provides that the League shall function like the sheriff of a frontier posse, calling on any country for aid in emergencies. The fact that America in 1919 refused to join altogether and Britain took a compromise position has made the League ineffective in doing police duty and maintaining security. At present France, Russia and the Little Entente oppose Germany, while England and the United States stand aloof and Asiatic and African races hover in the background. War is not likely to come in the immediate future if the present crisis is surmounted, as Sir Arthur feels it will be. In trying to avoid war the back- ground of the European crisis must Continued on Page Four Richards Completes .. Series of Lectures “Tenor and Vihicle” Rhetoric Is Applicable to Philosophy of Life METAPHOR IS VARIABLE Goodhart, March 16.—Mr. Richards concluded his series of lectures on the Interpretation of Prose with a con- tinuation -of his discussion of meta- phor and with a final proof of the relation of rhetoric to a philosophy of life.- He distinguished certain types of metaphor and demonstrated the existence. Metaphors must be according to whether they are based on a direct resemblance of one thing to another—that of the tenor to the vehicle—or whether they are connect- ed by a common attitude which is an attribute of each. For example, we may connect two things metaphoric- ally because we happen to like them intrinsic resemblance. This resemb- lance may be called the ‘ be hardly perceivable and leads to the false assumption that if we cannot see how the metaphor works, it is thereby proven unworkable. A particular word is not confined to one metaphorical meaning, but may be metaphorical in different ways, and may even be metaphorical and literal simultaneously. A metaphor may in- clude a tenor and a vehicle which are in one sense indistinguishable, in which case the expression is literal; on the other hand, there may be meta- phorical interpretation of a word or phrase as well. A simple illustration of this theory is the use of the word “leg.” If connected with “table” and with “horse,” it. will appear that “leg” is metaphorical in the first instance since it has not all of the character- istics of the second. If wé apply “leg” to the appendages of a starfish, it is difficult to tell whether we are being’ metaphorical or literal, and similarly | we scarcely know in what category to place a “wooden leg.” The latter is actually an example of the simultane- | ity of the literal and the metaphorical. The purely literal is very rare in any- thing but a specialized scientific dis- course; the majority of ordinary sen- tences turn out to be metaphorical. A metaphor necessarily involves comparison, but may be approached from several different angles. The eighteenth century rhetoricians,* as! represented by Dr. Johnson, confined themselves, according to their beliefs, to metaphors which called attention to resemblances between two objects. Modern theory is diametrically op- posed to this principle; the super- realists, whose leader in France today is M. André Breton, attempt to seize upon two objects as remote from each other as possible and bring them to- gether in a striking manner, holding that this is the highest task to which poetry can aspire... Both extremes have grave disadvantages. Actually metaphors are as™dependent on the dissimilarities of their “component parts as upon their resemblances, but the super-realists mistake the strain Continued on Page Six College Calendar Wadueade, March 18: Nar- rative Series of Films from the Library of Modern Art.

She organized a board of representa- tives from the college and from the workers’ themselves, with the members from Bryn Mawr at first- predominat- ing, and, finally with an equal num- ber from both groups. Since every phase of labor and education was rep- resented on this board by a separate delegate, the whole committee was enormous. It consisted of about forty members. Yet in spite of its awk- ward size it continued in this form until 1927. The faculty has consisted of mem- bers as distinguished as its director. Although both Miss Fairchild and Mrs. Kirk from Bryn Mawr have taught at the Summer School, the pro- fessors have generally been selected from other colleges. The word “experiment” is truly the Continued on Page Five Council Finds Cutting Rehearsals is Serious | Unavoidable Changes in Hours * Scheduled for Rehearsals Cause Trouble ‘CARE OF GRASS URGENT President’s House, March 11.—The progress of May Day ‘plans, the prob- lem of undergraduate papers and re- ports, and discussion of certain diffi- culties connected with May Day were isome of the topics dealt with by the |College Council at its recent session. |The condition of the grass was also ‘brought up with the urgent request that every one on campus should use the regular paths and thus save the grass as much as possible. Certain students have been provided with whistles to warn offenders and signs have been erected at points where paths are being worn. May Day plans are progressing | very well and are getting on far faster than had been. expected. The question of cutting rehearsals has become. quite serious, however, in the past.week. Two or three rehearsals were completely broken up by the un- explained absence of one or more of the key characters: If this continues and proves to be genuine disregard, it is probable that drastic action may have to be taken against those who cut. Més. Collins felt that the cut- ting was not due so much to the stu- dents as to changes in the hours scheduled for rehearsals. Much of this was unavoidable, but in the fu- ture misunderstanding will be elimi- nated by allowing no changes once the schedule is posted. The coaches may cancel rehearsals, but they will not change them to another hour. The plays are fully understudied and rehearsals will be held for the understudies after vacation. Mrs. Collins pointed out that.these people are making a great sacrifice of time and energy and it is only fair that if regular members of the casts cut frequently their parts ought to be given to the understudies. The choice of places to have the wagon plays is causing the committee in charge of May Day quite a little trouble. Mrs. Collins said that she would be glad to receive any sugges- tions as to possible places to have these plays. The location must be one which is accessible for the wa- gons, which will each be drawn by a pair of horses. The plans for properties and co8- |tumes are progressing very well.

Horace was presented by ‘Dr. Michael Rostovtzeff in his lecture, Horace As I See Him. This year is the two thousandth anniversary of of the birth of the Roman poet and it is especially interesting\ to read his, work now, for, as President Park pointed out in her introduction of the lecturer, Horace lived in a\“broken world,” and the social disotder he (knew was not unlike our own \times. Dr. Rostovtzeff thinks of the poet as being primarily a spokesman for\ the great class of “city bourgeoisie,” \un- known before Hellenistic times, who were the backbone of Italy and were | responsible for a new civilization of\\ 'the Romans. Horace was born a provincial, the son of a freed slave, and was educated in Rome. He derived his income solely from his Sabine farm, which was more than the residence of a grand seigneur or the log cabin of an American pro- fessor, to quote Professor Greaves, of the University of St. Petersburg, but was a fundus comprising both grain and grazing lands. The building that is called Horace’s villa today is certainly ‘not the original farmhouse, but dates from later Flavian times. ‘Horace was a careful, progressive farmer, economically independent. Before the first century B. C., Italy was composed of many towns loosely bound together, eath with its own way of living. During this century there occurred the miracle of a new Italy with a cultural and political unity emerging from the chaos of tribal differentiation. The Italian people were proud of being Romans and of being rulers of’ the world. Contact with the East led to the importation of Hellenistic civilization, which was not imitated but continued and Latin- ized by the “city bourgeoisie,” who were responsible, furthermore, for de- veloping industry and commerce. As a political class these equites standing midway between the senate and the proletariat, ended the dominance of the senatorial nobility. Horace is representative of this class; in his work he tried to go back to his Greek forerunners, whom he knew especially from his journey to Greece as a soldier under Brutus, but he never lost his Latin flavor. He was a master of the handling of his language and of many phases of poetic Hing.

Since then it has seemed very strange that in the past months we have heard so little discussion of our plans for the future. The tangible physical features of the college of the immediate future haye been envisaged, but ' the ideals, the plan and the purpose which will bring meaning and life to these buildings ought to receive the deep thought of every student, alumna and faculty member. Bryn Mawr College was fétinded as an institution which would give to women of exceptional qualifications of mind the opportunity to do intel- lectual Work of a nature comparable to that available to their brothers. The pioneer spirit of these early generations of Bryn Mawr women had one quality which was uppermost, and that was the quality of ardent intel- lectual interest. Brilliant, eager young women pursued their studies under stimulating young professors who led them gladly over paths but recently followed by themselves and set their feet on new roads, some of which led! to remarkable contributions in the realm of scholarship. There is a challenge for us if we analyze the attitude with which most of our predecessors approached their college careers. It is perhaps natural that they felt a keener sense of responsibility than do we for making the most of Bryn Mawr’s opportunities, since their mothers and grandmothers)‘ had often yearned in vain for a chance to pursue further study. In the » last two’ decades the situation has altered and now people go to college in vast numbers.- Many of us have taken college more or less for granted. The courses interest us, we enjoy the contact with other young women who come from a background not too dissimilar to ours, we appreciate the opportunity of working with faculty members who are keenly interested in our intellectual capacities and in ourselves. But are we really striving for a high level of intellectual attainment which is beyond the reach of many of us? It seems rather that the majority of us are perfectly content to drift along with a fair degree of interest in our work and satisfactory marks in our courses. The crux of the situation lies in the complacency with which we accept these facts. Part of this is due to the general confusion of the times which makes the adoption of a clear stand very difficult, but an even greater part is due to the unfortunate importance which we accord to grades as indications of the calibre of work done. Whatever the cause, there is something very definitely wrong with an attitude toward education which is conducive to such content. Mediocrity is a hard word, but it does not seem unfair to use it here, for there is grave danger that we are fast slipping into that category, both in the quality of our work and in our attitude toward it. ‘Undoubtedly there are those who do get a tremendous thrill out of the work which they are doing andno doubt brilliant scholars are to be found \ in the college, but the difficulty lies in the fact that besides being the pos- \session of the few, this keen intellectual interest is the desire of the few. Whereas i in times past the truly able students set the pace for the rest who strove to approach them in ability, there appears now a marked tendency to 8 attention on the group which is doing work whose quality is per- fectly adequate but on the whole rather uninspired. Those few who do outstanding original work are not those to whom the rest of the college measures up as it formerly did. Rather, we prefer to achieve the general merit and the general oblivion of the cum laude classification. In the next fifty years Bryn Mawr can continue to make contributions to scholarship in an independent and individual way. But to accomplish this we should reconsider the place which the ideal of excellence of stand- ards of study must have in our scheme of organization and we must give it renewed value and importance. There will be other causes revealed. .in the future toward which we can direct our zeal and energy, but a true understanding \of the purpose and quality of our scholastic work must ever be the keystone\of our educational plan.

France says that if Russia is brought in this does not conflict with the ob- ligations, but extends them. It was explicity guaranteed by the five Locarno powers, that the west- ern boundary of Germany was fixed forever. While there was no guaran- tee that the eastern boundary was permanent, it. was agreed that it should nat be changed by violence. France and Germany agreed not to attack each other. Belgium, who was not a party to the pact with Russia, considers that there was no excuse for the German yiolation of the Lo- carno Treaty with respect to her. Fourteen powers meeting in Lon- don have condemned Germany’s ac- tions as a violation of the Treaty of Locarno and the Covenant of the League of Nations. The question is, what action to take. A meeting of the League will be held to which Ger- many has been invited. The German government is prepared to accept the invitation to meet with the Council, with the qualification that Hitler’s new twenty-five year peace offer be discussed “in. due course” as well as the violation of the Locarno Treaty. France, who last fall had to be pressed by England to apply sanc- tions on Italy, is now insisting that England support her in putting sanc- tions on Germany. France feels that Germany will grow increasingly strong and that now is that time to suppress her—“‘Russia is with us, so let’s go.” England feels that mili- tary sanctions would be disastrous, that the Germans would only be more of a problem after a war than they were in 1918. Public opinion is di- vided in England as to whether they should take a firm stand behind France or: not. Eden, Churchill, Chamberlain and Sir Samuel Hoare want to support France with economi¢ sanctions against Germany. Dr. An- derson described the possible eco- nomie sanctions which could be laid upon Germany as_ first, which woiild be a cancellation of Eng- land’s nerous budgeting of war debts over a period of time and would mean Germany’s wreckage. Another would be prohibition of imports which mainly. foodstuffs and raw ma- erials, which would render Germany unable to eat and ruin her industry. a{ aecawte Week Bes peebipition of financial, | Stefi Duna.

Some of the music is being written or ar- ranged; some, like Back and Side, has come down from’ Elizabethan days. The music for Gammer Gurton’s Needle is limited to the robust and popular ballad, Back and Side, to be sung by Helen Shepard, ’38. A small instrumental group will provide the music for The Creation and will play various themes to represent some of the characters. Mr. Willoughby is writing and arranging the music, and at present is occupied in finding a theme for God. The singing in the play will consist of a short song of praise, With heart and voice let us rejoice, sung by the entire cast. An instrumental group will also provide the music which Mr. Wil- loughby is writing and arranging for The Deluge. The Gossips’ song, Here is a pottell of malmsey, good and strong, was written by Mr. Willough- by when the Varsity Dramatic Club gave the play on the green. Im con- trast to the Gossips’ jovial number, the entire cast will sing to a plain- song setting a selection of. verses from the .sixty-ninth Psalm (“Save me, O God, for the waters are come in, even unto my soul’). Robin Hood contains a number of songs, both solo and chorus. Willie Waddikin; Courtiers, courtiers, think not scorn; What shall we have that are sung in chorus.

Cora’s brother, Bobby, was at the dandy age and consulted about his worldly affairs Clarence, the man of the world, who had been in the army. His part, a difficult one to: put across, ‘was ably performed. the jealous step- Mrs. Wheeler, mother frustrated by the governess, was a terror for her husband to cope with; but somehow Clarence’s influ- ence changed her outlook and ghe be- came quite amiable, to her husband’s great surprise. Her change in state of mind was well effected. Mr. Wheeler gave an amusing performance as the head of a difficult household, who scratched his head in vain at the family quarrels and the pene identity of Clarence. Dinwiddie, the butler who was so conscious of his high position, added some delightfully humorous bits to the play. He was continually ‘casting aspersions on the “loose help with be- smirched characters,” particularly Della, the housemaid. Della acted well in the small part of the roman- ‘tie maid who gazed at the moon and flirted with Bobby. Mr. Hubert Stem and Mrs. Martyn, the secretary, acted capably in supporting minor parts. The first act was not quite up to the part of the rest of the play— possibly because it was exposition— but it did give the characters a chance to convince the audience of amusing potentialities. On the whole the humor of the play was well-sustained; infrequent lapses were quickly cov- ered up, particularly by Clarence, who had an unconscious ability to steal the scene. Huldah Cheek is to be commended for her excellent’ directing. Even actors and actresses whose chief vir- tue on the stage is ease and enjoyment of acting cannot step into a part with- out able direction. Not only does Miss Cheekshave a sensitive, broad view of dramatic production, but she has also a feeling for the small de- tails of stage business which make for the success of a play. Thanks go to Miss Alison Raymond, in charge of the Bryn Mawr League Maids’ Club, who asked Miss Cheek to direct the play; to Anne Reese, Alice Lowe, Mary Whalen and Huldah Cheek for the construction of the luxurious sets. 42 E. J. S. Group Spedkers Discuss Regulation of Industry Continued from Page One tions. The minimum wage law may raise the lowest wages, but the em- ‘ployers who have to raise the lowest wages also reduce the higher wages of other workers. The result of the law, therefore, is that the average is about where it was before. Al- though payrolls have gone up to sev- enty per cent of the normal, even since the N. R. A. was declared un- constitutional, and although unem- ployment has decreased, this improve- ment has been less noticeable in the durable industries and more impor- tant in the food and textile industries. The New Deal, Miss Fairchild feels, achieved only a part of its purpose. Mr. Anderson pointed to the policy of the British government, which acted under strong pressure from the labor unions. The government did not make the mistake of the United States and treat the probleng pally, but realized that the difficulties ‘were world wide. The N. R. A. did not control evenly the reduction of wages, and some fields, like trucking and do- mestic service, were not supervised at all. It is the unfair reduction of wages, not reduction itself, to which Mr. Anderson objects. England low- ered rates of interest and it is interest on bonds, not the principal which is paid by the producer. As a result, machinery can be bought cheaply and construction undertaken easily. Eng- land recovered by these means. The only way to be fair and to stimulate the industrial machine is to lower wages and rates of interest. Stronger trade unions are neces- the south of many northern cotton factories, and thinks that natural re- sources and.efficiency, not trade-un- ions, will decide where industries are. ‘| Miss Fairchild pointed out that it is harder to regulate conditions in the south than in the north, and_ she urged central Federal control to ‘en- sure uniform conditions’ of work everywhere. Varsity Falls Beneath Onrushing Faculty Ploy decent March 15.—The an-. nual faculty-Varsity basketball game was won. by the faculty with a score of 21-14. Where girls’ rules were observed no goal could be scored, because of. the ubiquitous guarding of Dr. Nahm. Until the end of the first half, Varsity did suc- ceed in holding the score to 138-9 in favor of the faculty, but in the second half the faculty were in their ele- ment, with mens” rules, and they passed and scored often on fast plays. * The faculty, besides overpowering the Varsity on the scoreboard, over- came them in stature, with one mem- ber of the team lifting the ball out of Hasse’s hands for a basket. Var- sity played a good game on the whole, in spite of the fact that their plays al- ways petered out under the basket. If the ball missed the basket, the faculty invariably gained possession of it. The men introduced fist-ball into their interpretation of basketball, baf- fing the women with their tactics. Varsity was worn out by the third quarter, but the men remained as chipper and lively as ever. Dr. Nahm showed consistent playing ability both as a guard and forward, but it was Dr. Anderson who made the basket of the day—a perfect arc from the centre of the floor.

Horace Spokesman of Roman Equites Continued from Page One fessor Rostovtzeff lies in the reflection in his poetry of public opinion and the effect on the Romans of the cease- less and devastating civil war. By showing the political temper of the people, Horace’s writings assume enormous historical importance. Dur- ing the years before the battle of Actium, the atmosphere was filled with terror and pessimism, and Horace was protesting against the continuation of the struggle that was ruining Rome. Dr. Roslovtzeff illustrated many of his points by reading from the Latin. When Augustus came to power, Horace accepted him politically, but he never became one of his courtiers. He had definite ideas for the regenera- tion of Romé, which he promulgated in the first Odes of. Book Three. He expressed a hope of seeing: as strong an Empire as the old one and the hor- ror of a new civil-war. In his pro- gram of moral reform he sets as goal the regaining of the old Roman Virtus, combining pietas and iustitia. Actu- ally, Augustus -was ‘bent on similar aims; the ideas of both men had a common origin in public opinion, to which both gave attention. Toward the end of his life Horace gave evi- dence of being nearly satisfied and praised Augustus highly in the Thanksgiving Odes, which are certain- ly sincere and reflect the opinion of many people. Willert Thinks War In Europe Unlikely Continued from Page One be considered. The first striking thing about the crisis in every country, with the possible exception of Austria, is the air of a moderate degree of prosperity and the impression that people are living in a two-dimensional world; for underneath the surface of comfort is a very different state of affairs, in which fear sits close to everyday life. Not only in France and Belgium, but in Germany the nervous tension is strong, especially in the attitude toward Russia and the Nazi govern- ment. Hitler is capitalizing the fear of Russia by using it as an excuse to rearm the Rhineland, a de-militar- ized zone imposed by the Versailles Treaty. \ Fear of the Hitler regime also grips Germany.

The motor manufacturing concern. In, this atmosphere of terror and suspicion the average citizen, German as well as English, is anxious for peace. The people praying for peace while their governments prepare for war create a curious paradox which can best be explained by mob psy- chology. The mass instincts of a crowd are more brutal and funda- mental than those of individuals. In crises like the present European one, the decency in each individual ‘is blot- ted out by the fear of the whole na- tion. This fear leads to re-armament, discontent and the antagonizing of other countries. The effect of fear is well illustrated by the relation of France and Russia to Germany. Russia is accused of try- ing to tempt France into a preventive war with Germany to which France is averse. The French have, an the opinion of Sir Arthur, no desire for a preventive war, but are anxious for a reasonable settlement. They are afraid, however, that by giving in now to the demands of Germany, they will find themselves in a situation from which they cannot. escape. Germany has been pulling successful bluffs since the Hitler regime began. France now says: If Germany is not stopped this time, what will happen next time?

It is for the most part true that only those undergraduates who for some special reason are connected with archaeology in this college know what is going on in the field. The interest and enthusiasm of those few has some difficulty in making itself felt, but it is apparent from the increasing num- ber of students who are intending to make Classical Archaeology their ma- jor, that the subject is no longer con- sidered “dull” or ‘“‘useless.” These new recruits will adopt the hopes and help make possible the ambitious plans of the department not only for work here, but for field work abroad, which cannot help but hold a fascination even for the uninitiated. The Bryn Mawr excavation has been going on since: the spring of 1934 when an expedition was sent to Cilicia. The staff consisted - of Miss Hetty Goldman, of Bryn Mawr, field direc- tor; Dr. Emil Forrer, adviser on sites; Ann M. Hoskin, of Bryn Mawr, and Robert W. Ehrich, assistants. Sufficient, though slender, finances had been raised by the untiring efforts of Miss Swindler and others from the more or less willing pockets of inter- ested persons who had a little knowl- edge and a lot of faith. In the cam- paign of 1985 Bryn Mawr was sup- ported by the Archaeological Institute of America and by Harvard Univer- sity in the form of a contribution from the Milton Fund. The first objective of the expedition was the location of favorable sites, and a preliminary study of them. During three months the staff visited forty-one sites and took soundings of some of the more interesting mounds. The most promising was that of Gézlii Kule, near the modern city of Tarsus, which is very modern indeed and boasts a moving-pictyre theatre for the relaxation of the tired archaeol- ogist. The complete excavation of this site was begun in the 1935 campaign, and is to date not more than half finished. A cross section of the mound contains strata clearly recognized by the character of their ingredients as dating from modern times, through a Roman period, te the later phases of the Bronze Age, The customary pro- cedure in work of this sort is first to dig a trial trench, then if the indi¢a- tions of the contents of the mound are promising, the trench is widened. The first trench, at the top of the mound, brought to light the remains of a fac- tory containing unused, and therefore probably unsold, terracotta lamps, and plaster molds, many in excellent preservation though of rather poor quality. Most of them represented theatrical masks or charioteers and horsemen, suggesting that the factory catered to the needs of the theatre and the hippodrome, which were two prin- ciple features of the Roman city on that site. Below the level of this fac- tory the remains of a stoa, or colon- nade, were found, among the walls of which was another deposit of lamps and molds. The objects from this find must be seen in order that their fine- ness and variety and composition may be appreciated. The “genfe” subjects, numerous in Tarsus, are delightfully amusing as well as illustrative of the type of work that was done in the Hellenistic period. Coins found in the fill suffice to date the material in the first centuries B. GC. and A. D. ‘The first painted pottery, a jug of the type affiliated with Syrian work, was found in the remains of a house beneath the west of the stoa. The pot- tery down to this depth (about 6 meters) has been plain and drab, with only occasionally crude designs, and Miss Goldman places it around 1000 B. C. One of the most interesting ob- jects from this level, and indeed from the whole dig, is a bulla with the im- pression of a seal of a type known only from the city of Boghaz Keui, the capital of the Hittite empire, and ‘ JEANNETTE’S Bryn Mawr Flower Shop 823 Lancaster’ Avenue Bryn Mawr 570 ‘efforts are likely to yield extremely ERT TE NT eT TTT THE COLLEGE NEWS interpreted to be the seal of a Hittite Great King. It may have been sent from the capital to the governor of; the Cilician city after the conquest of Cilicia by the Hittites, and is suf- ficient basis for some important as: | sumptions regarding the nature of this! site and its former inhabitants. Rooms of houses, with terraces, paved courts, staircases, hearths and drains were found some six meters beneath} the surface, and with them fragments of pottery, seals and terracotta fig- urines. The pottery is important for the dating of strata, Islamie, Roman and Hellenist¥e being represented; but there are many objects which are of value because of their intrinsic inter- est. The next level of stratigraphic im- portance is at about 14.50 meters, and is accompanied by pottery of the Cypriote Iron Age. It was here that the most significant object, from the | point of view of art, was found: a statuette of translucent crystal repre-' senting a beardless elderly man in a| simple robe and a conical headdress. | The type is Hittite, the face has char-| ‘acter and individuality, and the work-| manship is far from erude. The fig- | urine is strikingly beautiful in its sim-' plicity. The exact date is difficult to| ascertain and may depend on com- | parative material from future finds| in these excavations. Miss Virginia Grace, of Bryn Mawr, had charge of Section Five of the dig in 1985. At a depth of about 11 meters she struck an Islamic street, and as the trench was widened re- mains of a large Islamie building with drains and built-in tanks sug-! gesting that it had been a dyer’s establishment. A Roman level was distinguished nearby, with a large; building and pottery in the fill which is most interesting because of its parallel to vases from Samos, Rhodes and Phrygia. It dates from late sev- enth to sixth centuries B. ©, The discovery of a ticket made of clay in the remains of what was doubtless an| amphitheatre, gives to the excayator} a sense of almost personal relation with the people who formerly inhabit- ed this city. On one side it bears the number 4 in both Greek and Latin, for the convenience of the mixed popu- lation; on the other, a profile mask: The lowest level of civilization has not yet been reached by any means, and in view of the importance of the finds already brought to light, further fruitful results. It is difficult to give on paper the enthusiasm that Miss Goldman has for this project; but it is to be hoped that that enthusiasm will be shared by those who can contribute in any way toward the success of the Bryn Mawr excayation.

Always there has been a definite aim te accomplish, but the means of ac- cémplishing it have not been equally certain. Another school for workers, Brook- wood, was founded in the same year as the Bryn Mawr organization, yet since it chose another method for ful- filling its purpose, it. has developed on a quite different line. Brookwood was established entirely under labor auspices, but the Bryn Mawr Summer School was modeled after European and especially English examples. Such experiments have been going on in Europe for a long time, until their ideas and methods have advanced to a point at least a century ahead of those ‘in America. Hoping that the project might be made of as general interest as the schools in Europe are, the Summer School Board in 1927 de- cided to change its former tactics and to enlist the support of other colleges, not only in teaching, but also in di- recting. Bryn Mawr therefore gave up its particular connection; the office of the School was moved from Taylor Hall to New York; representatives were appointed to the board from other “women’s “colleges; and under- graduates from-other—institutions_be- sides Bryn Mawr gave their assistance at the summer sessions, This plan unfortunately never worked. In the first place, it seemed an expensive enterprise to other col- leges. Since the workers who attend the school can pay only a small fee, the greatest part of the expense must be shouldered by the institutions that support the school. For so much money to be paid to an establishment that they considered outside of their territory seemed to the colleges en- listed with Bryn Mawr an expense they could not afford. In the second place, these schools were not anxious to meddle with what appéared, and what is, a dangerous problem. They furnished their buildings in the sum- mer to activities that were useful but safe. A school £6 workers such as | Mawr undergraduates to show an in- possibility of complications in which they did not wish to become involved. Because this experiment in workers’ education is so important and because it will be increasingly important in the future, it is the duty of Bryn terest in the Summer Sgehool, This interest is not merely a college feel- ing, it is an assertion of maturity, of the) realization of the duties of a citiz When.we give, as we should give if we can, we are making pos- sible for girls of our own agé to have an opportunity like ours, except that while- we have it for four. years, they have it for but eight weeks.

Margaret Chrystie Has Exhibition of Paintings Common Room, March 12.—Mrs. Chadwick-Collins gave a tea at the opening of an exhibition of paintings by the well-known Philadelphia artist, Margaret Chrystie, of Bryn Mawr, which is being sponsored by the Art Club of .the college. Twenty-three oil paintings are hung on the walls of the Common Room, where they will remain on exhibition until March 26. Miss Chrystie, who lives across the street from the Bryn Mawr station, has made painting a serious hobby for many years. She has studied with the Philadelphia Academy of the Fine Arts and with its summer school at Chester Springs. She spent one winter working with Henry McCarter, of the Philadelphia group of artists, but has painted primarily on her own. She has had many exhibitions in Philadelphia and on the Main Line, including one at the Friends’ Central School last autumn.

Max Eastman goes farther and insists that the meta- phor attempt the impracticable, Often a connection which at glance or taken by itself seems impossible to make, becomes “quite simple and natural when regarded in the light of its context. Gerard Manley Hopkins in his poem, ‘‘The. Bugler’s First Com- munion,” joins two such seemingly im- miscible igeas as those of “bread” and “house” in his line. , “Low-latched in: leaf-light housel his too huge God-head.” When the quotation is clarified by a realization that the poet is speak- ing of the Wafer as the “dwelling of a Divine Presence” the connection be- comes easy and obvious. Neither M. Breton nor Mr. Eastman is concerned with the effect of the juxtaposition of the remote objects forming the metaphor. Their aim is an “artificially induced paranoia” which is to “communicate a kind of experience not elsewhere felt .. . to arouse a reaction, yet to impede it... to make us aware that we are living something, no matter what.” Yet the mind, being essentially a connecting organ, will continually invent ways of connection, and this experimentation is the movement which gives meaning to fluid language. In the case of the super-realists, who are exploiting the collocation of such remote ideas, the tension is considerably greater and their work is the less successful simp- ly because the reader is soon weary of being constantly baffled by the appar- ent inconsistencies of the author. On the other hand, the identification or fusion of tenor and vehicle is equally to be avoided. Their interaction de- pends as much on their disparities as on their likenesses and this fact must be remembered in all analysis of meta- phor. There are two distinct dangers into which modern writers can fall. First, there is the assumption that an idea must*be perceived by the senses, that language must involve visualization, College News.

T. E. Hume, a brilliant young scholar who was killed in the war, left a theory of metaphor half- formulated, which is immensely inter- esting. Unfortunately there are cer- tain errors in his doctrine. It depends in .part on the false premise of the necessity for the visual ‘and the con- crete in language, a theory that is patently wrong, if much ofthe poetry of Shakespeare is considered. His words are often abstract and quite comprehensible without visualization. The second difficulty with the use of metaphor in modern writing is the confusion which arises between the relation of tenor and vehicle and the joint.action of the two. Hume does not distinguish between these, al- though this easy mistake is as fatal as ignoring the braekets in algebra. The words of a metaphor must make us aware of its meaning, though any analogy can be carried too far and thus broken down. For such an understanding of words, it is necessary to maké a choice of in- terpretations, balancing the relative importance of the two parts of the metaphor, and this can and must be carried over from discerning reading | to the world in which we live. The psychologist’s study of transferences | show us usually the pathological side, | where an outworn vehicle is applied to a new tenor. If a new vehicle of a developed sense of human relations is applied to the tenor of human love, then happy living can be attained. | It has been the dream of psychology to discover.the meaning of our words through a study of the mind. An- other dream is to learn about words in order that we might discover what our minds meant. By combining these dreams, and by conceiving of life in terms of words, we can approach the great problems of personality through the minor difficulties presented by language; and we may reach finally the harmony of living which Plato believed in, and expressed so beau- tifully in his Timaeus. ‘ball was in the basket. Faculty Team Runs Wild In Second Varsity Game Gymnasium, March 15.—With the barking dogs absent and a much de- pleted gallery looking on, the second teams of the faculty and Varsity met in a contest that proved to be more evenly matched than its immediate predecessor had been. of awe-inspiring males clad in white jerseys and’ red shorts was reduced to three, and they were joined by three equally awe-inspiring females. Captain Blanchard and his team- mates, Anderson and Hedlund, had relinquished their positions to these members of the weaker sex who la- ter proved that brains as well as brawn can conquer in basketball. Play was slow and uncertain at first, but assurance grew proportion- ately with the passage of time. Sarah Meigs tallied Varsity’s four points in the first quarter and Miss Collier made all of the faculty’s ten points. After those scores, Varsity was in the depths of despair. Life and activity sauntered into the Gym when Dr. Nahm, casual, cool, collected, took his place in the line-up. The whistle blew and the combination of _Dr. Anderson and Dr. Nahm clicked; with Anderson grabbing the ball whenever possible. The game speeded up, the gallery showed defi- nite interest and in the midst of it all the ball hurtled majestically into Sarah Meigs’ arms from the other ‘end of the Gym, accompanied by a pleading cry of “Sarah” frem Eliza- beth Washburn. In a moment the Excitement reigned; Varsity had found an effec- tual tactic—in long passes. At the end of the first half the score was a tie, 12-12. At the beginning of the second half ‘rules were abandoned. At the end of the third quarter the score was 24-16 in favor of the faculty. The last quarter went quite uneventfully ex- cept for time out while the ball, which had so inconveniently gone out of: the window, was retrieved. The faculty continued to run wild, and Dr. Broughton, after three unsuccessful trials, made the final basket which brought the score to 28-19 in favor of the faculty. ; The line-up of the game was as follows: The number FACULTY VARSITY | were presented to Dr. Whitehead on his Cay cet T Ve ey ce S.
