System of ‘Capitalism

 

Sociologist Attributes War and
Unemployment to This
Growing Evil. _

ADVOCATES COMMUNISM

 

A goodly audience gathered in the
Common~Room tast-Friday: evening~ to
hear Scott Nearing, sociologist and au-
thor, speak on the subject of Communism
in. America, under the auspices of the

Bryn Mawr Liberal Club. Mr. Nearing’s |

extreme opinions and forceful presenta-
tion made his talk very interesting and
called forth a broadside of questioning at
its close.
system, which» necessitates» war’ and“ un-
employments, and then went on to relate
the history of American labor and to
prophesy its future.

The speaker began by telling of the
new relation of the worker to his job
since the Civil War. -With the growth
of the factory system has come a greater
and greater increase in the number of
wage .workers and a more and more
definite separation of production and con-
It has devéloped a mass pro-
letariat utterly dependent on capitalists
for their jobs and- utterly dependent on

yobs for their living.

Of the thirty-four million workers of
this proletariat, five or six million are

‘now unemployed. They ‘must go to the

bread lines for food for we have no. dole
or unemployment insurance in this coun-
try. They are dependent, it seéms, on a
system incompetent to care for them.

Capitalism can only produce unemploy- |
| carry. on

ment; and the more Capitalism> the
greater will be the unemployment. Cap-
italization has been increasing enormously.
In 1914 the year’s Dividends on, stocks
were $1,200,000,000, in 1930, a. bad year,
the dividends for January alone were $1,-
000,000,000. Some of these dividends go
for luxuries but the great part are rein-

“vested to swell further the amount of

American capital. In 1850 there was
$560 capital per worker; today there is
$6000. As capital per worker. increases
the: worker must produce more and more
to bring the manufacturer a profit. This
means more rationalization of industry,
more machinery, more exploitation of the
individual worker, more technological un-
employment. A time must come when a

’ tithe of the workers can produce all that

can be profitably distributed. The fault
is not that of the individual capitalist but
of a system in which production is for
profit. ;
To prove his statement that “the more
capitalism there is, the more unemploy-
ment there will be,’ Mr. Nearing called
attention to ~conditions in the United
States and in Great Britain. America’s
new industries, rayon and rubber tires,

for example, are running well, but in the |

old industries, such as coal and textiles,
where Capitalism has had its best chance,
there is unemployment and economic
stagnation. Similarly Great Britain, the
oldest capitalistic country, is economically
the sickest. Her new industries have
grown but the old ones are even less pro-
ductive than in 1913.

Not only is the ‘worker in cgnstant
fear .of unemployment under the capital-
istic system but he must also expect to
be called.out to die and kill in periodic
wars stirred up in the interests of the
ruling classes. It will probably be a war
and not unemployment that will be the
crucial test of the development of com-
munistic sentiment: . Since the French
Revolution the turning point in govern-
ment has been war.

At“ the third International Communal
at Moscow it was said that three things
were needed for the spread of commun-
ism ;., weakening of the power of the rul-
ing class, worsening of the conditions of
the masses (they are now worse than
ever before inthis country), and trained,
revolutionary leadership. This leadership
is needed because the worker is almost
inarticulate. eo, Bc,

The. American worker has ‘tiot always
been so docile, however. After the Civil

War the communistic groups were mostly |.

Jonly goal of the first half.

Interpreted-hy Dr. Mutch

 

“What shall they do which are bap-
tized forthe dead?” quoted Dr. Mutch
from the Restfrection. argument of
Saigt Paul, at Sunday night chapél in
Goodhart. The message of All Saints’
Day, a day full of significance and
spiritual value, contains the answer.

Although All Saints’ Day was last
Saturday, the atmosphere remains, per-
vading all November with ‘its “spirit
and message. First, there is the, sig-
nificance of the “great cloud of heav-
enly: witnesses.” Prior to the seventh

calendar for each great saint. By then,
because there was hardly a day left,
or perhaps because they were tired of
distinguished persons, it was decided
to. have-one day forall; not-only the
great and famous, but also for the un-
known good, “the shining host of those
who have passed on.”

Secondly, the heritage which we en-
joy ‘today has come down to us at
great cost. Reaping where we have
not sown,
are the result of the toil, struggles, and
sacrifices of past years. The Pilgrim
Fathers paid for the blessings and
privileges of religious freedom, truth,
and faith in God. The patriots of the
Revolution and the Civil War paid the
price of our political heritage. Effort,

ure arid success in experinsent, sweat of
mind, body, and soul, are all the cost
of the common conveniences of tod...

Our debt to the past calls for some
payment in the present. The dead
must not have died in vain. We must
grasp. the tools, seize the flag, ‘and
their tasks to completion.
“Whatever our patrimony, whatever
good, we are stewards, and it is re-
quired of stewards that they be faith-
ful.” “Be true to the past, to your-
self, to your home, and to God,” con-
cluded. Dr. Mutch, “unless we give
back to the world something costing
us blood and agony, we shall have
failed miserably to pay: our debt.”

 

Merion Cricket Club |
‘Defeated by Varsity

 

Before a handful of the ever faith-
ful, Varsity, on Saturday, defeated
Merion, 3-2.. A steady improvement
in the playing of the team has been
noticed from week to week and grad-
ually co-ordination is linking the play-
ers together.

The forward line played a scrappy
game, fighting back for the ball when-
‘ever ‘necessary. The wings were very
fast and passed in nicely. Sanborn on
several occasions carried the ball down
to the goal and then made beautiful
back passes which were net put in
because the rest of the line were not
quick enough on their shooting. -Allen,
having picked up her speed again, was
very much better on her passing but
it is still a little bit late. She was
continually attacking the goal and
rushing in on others’ shots and her
efforts were rewarded when she put in
a rebound from a nice shot by Long-
acre. Longacre with fast running and
clear dodging and passing several times
-got the ball down within the striking
circle but her shots- were too soft to
go in and were frequently stopped by
the goalkeeper; however, she made the
Moore,
although a little slower than the rest
of the line, was always in place when
a pass was made to her. Her shoot-
ing was undoubtedly the best of the
forwards, hard and fast. After a nice

rushed the rebound; in the ensuing
scrimmage with the goalerand-_a_full-
back, she managed to push the ball in.
_ Harriman, subbing for Woodward,
played her best game so far and greatly
hindered the attempts of the opposing
wing. Although Collier was missed at
centre half, Collins did a good job

104 Students Enrolled
in Graduate School

 

Dean Schenck Compares~Hén-
ors Work of Undergradu-
ates to Graduate Study.

 

PH.D. HOLDS NO TERRORS

_——.

The. graduate school this year has 104
members, as against 102 of last year, thus
maintaining its place among the various
student. groups, second in numbers only
to the Freshmen.

The number of resident graduate stu-
dents.-is. limited. by. the capacity of Rad-
nor Halt, fifty-nine all told. Of the re-
maining forty-five students, sixteen have
some official connection with®the college—
instructors, readers, demonstrators, ward-
ens,

Sixty-fivé of the 104 students are ‘giv-
ing all their time to graduate work.
Among the others who are giving part of
their time to other occupations, the teach-
ing group is naturally the largest, seven
being- instructors, two demonstrators, one
a reader, here at Bryn Mawr; two: teach-
ing at other colleges and thirteen at
schools in the neighborhood, _

The graduate students —come , - from
twenty-three- States, the District of
Columbia, Hawaii, Canada and five Eu-
ropean countries: France, two; England,
two; Germany, Holland and Hungary,
one. :

The States represented are: Pennsyl-
vania, thirty-six; New York,, thirteen;
Massachusetts, seven; New Jersey, six;
California, four; Indiana, four; Kansas,

District of Columbia, one; Hawaii, one;
Canada, two.

‘Ninety-eight American ‘or’ Canadian
degrees, B.A. or B.S., are held by mem-
bers of the Graduate School, six Euro-
pean degrees, The foreign universities
represented are:

Amsterdam, Budapest, Cologne, Lau-
sanne, Nancy and London School of Eco-
nomics. Forty-nine different colleges or
universities in America are represented
by graduate students. Of these, thirty-
nine are co-educational, fourteen are
women’s colleges, and three are women’s
colleges Affiliated with universities. Al-

‘though there are more than twice as

many co-educational universities repre-
sented as women’s colleges, whether indi-
vidual or affiliated with universities,
slightly more than half of the students
come from women’s colleges. The largest
block, twenty-three in: all, .received the
A.B. degree from Bryn Mawr. The num-
ber of students who received their first
degree from other institutions is as fol-
lows:

| ‘My Flight into Egypt’
Described ‘by Miss Park

 

“*My Flight into Egypt’ really only
resembled the original in its extreme
quickness,” explained President Park
in her chapel speech on Tuesday, No-
vember 4. She reached Alexandria in
less than two weeks after leaving bleak
New York. Here was the first glimpse
of the melodramatic: green. ‘cultivated
lands against their desert background,
an anomaly which is found throughout
Egypt. » The low-lying meadows. are
separated~by_ dykes, over which pass
the village roadss—From the train a
perpetual procession of~ anen__ and
animals in silhouette can be. s@en on
these roads.

Cairo is a: niodern, crowded, con-
fused city in the heart of an ancient
city. But» Miss ~~ Park's party found
Egypt again in a trip up the Nile past
the second cataract. In this country
the color effects are peculiarly inter-
esting—the rushing yellow river with
its curious colors under sunrise or. sun-
set light, the bright green on the edge
of the river with the brighter yellow
of the desert behind it. The country
leaves an impression of being com-
pletely alien, its landscapes are strange
to the Northern mind. There is no
place where one gains a sense of per-
petual tradition, for the only remaining
buildings are temples concerning them-
tselves with ‘worship and” death,
daily. life. These temples are really
the chapel of the tomb of. some rf
or noble, -and intimately connected Qithé
death. The buildings of course vary
in the extent of their preservation, in

‘| their. location on a bluff or near the

river, and in actual age some of them
being as late as the sie Augus-
tus.

The beauty of the country is largely
associated with the sky, which is not
detracted from by tall growths. There
is little color at midday; otherwise
from the early hours of morning until
sunset-there-is-afeeling—of-moving—in
strange lights, although there are no

brilliant cloud effects. Everything
takes on a red, yellow, or green. hue
from’ the sunset. Even under the

moonlight the color of the red cliffs
and green trees ig apparent. The stars
are large, low-hanging and amazingly
bright, and the Southern Cross, shaped
like a huge diamond, is visible every
night. Miss Park’s party visited the
temple of Abu Simbel which is entirely
built inside a eliff, with only the facade,
decorated by huge seated statues of
Rameses, on. the outside. She and a
friend spent the night outside the tem-
ple, watching the river and the moon-
light. The first tight of dawn passed
from the mountain tops to the facade
of the temple, which faced due East,
and the faces of the statues seemed to
change their expressions and move, as

English Singers Give ‘

however, the more signficant

becomes their success, for it seems

to us that it is due not only to the vocal
accomplishments of the singers. them-

selves, however great, but also to the
quality of the music which they sing.
It is only truly great music which seems
ever new. There is a freshness atfd spon-
taneity about this English music of the
sixteenth and early sevénteenth centuries
which make ‘its appeal everlasting. Then,
too, it offers ‘great variéty of mood, and.
this the singers are careful to empha-
size. Yet the, transition from one type
of feeling to another is made with such
pparent ease, and the singing appears.
to be'so without effort, that we gasp
in amazement at a technique so per-
fect that it may be forgotten. And so
it is that none of the spontaneity of
which we spoke is lost; and we see in
the English Singers the theoretical, if
not actual, descendants of those six-
teenth century folk with whom singing
was as-natural as eating or sleeping,
and played almost as great a part in
daily life. |

The English Singers began their
concert with three motets, the “Ave
Verum” of William Byrd, with its sor-
rowful “Misereres” being one of the
most beautiful-of his religious works.
In contrast to this group was the fol-
lowing of ballet and madrigals, ending
with the poly-rhythmed “Though
Amaryllis Dance,’ which shows that

a stunt need not necessarily sound ar-

tificial. As a matter- of fact, all the
music of this time is an example of
the beauty which can be _ obtained
through the use of polyphonic forms
and technical devices. “The Wassail
Song,” which is~ very. merry indeed,
brought the first: half-of the program
toaclose. In the second part the sing-
ers plied various trades—sweeping
chimneys, exchanging rags or. bones
for matches and selling chestnuts in
every form that cooking can give them,
all of which they did with not a little
humour. As for “The Three Fairies,”
their rather unkind. pinching was so
much enjoyed that they were obliged
to repeat it. Purcell’s “I Spy Celia,”
with its mock seriousness, was no less
amusing, and also very beautiful musi-
cally. In the last group was the famous.
“Silver Swan” of Orlando Gibbons,
and the scarcely less well-known “Now
Is “the Month of Maying’”. was pre-
sented as one*of the encores.

The audience was ‘an appreciative
one: it is inevitable that those for
whom the experience of hearing the
English Singers was new, as well as
those who know them well should
realize their Worthiness as interpreterg
ofthe works of the greatest period, in,

East Is West

' Pembroke East was impressed and sorhewhat abashed last year when
Pembroke West stole a march on it and emerged from the general spring
cleaning with-a completely renovated smoking-room. Its smoking-room,
had had its face lifted and with more becoming and re-
juvenating paint and decoration, equally appreciable even at night by
reason of its new indirect lighting—well, many an Easter slipped in to
wonder and admire, and: also (we whisper it) to envy.

™~

 

When this fall brought shower baths to West, the camel’s back was |:

broken. An elaborate plan, therefore, is underway in Pembroke East
for producing a brighter and better smoking-room. The volufitary con-
tributions grew quickly to an unexpectedly large sum. Perhaps this is
only the first step and, once the fever sets in,-untold wonders in interior
decoration may develop.

But for the present, lef us commend this initial move which, we
hope, may prove an inspiration to the other halls on campus. We feel
that a new smoking-room, degigned to suit the individual dormitory tem-
perament, cannot but have q great and glorious effect on the student
morale. Certainly, more practically speaking, the indirect lighting system
adopted will relieve that part of our physical beings which, with the pos-
of the brain, is the most overworked and most indispen--
life: the eye. For were the Lord to say today: “Let there
be light,”” He would mean of course indirect light. ~ é

From the students’ point of view this

noisy ort Sunday mornings, since every-

in some halls the people who wish to

‘noise and make everyone else go into the
showcase. This is obviously undesirable,
because it leaves no place in which to re-

Theatre Notes.

The Theatre Guild presents at the Gar-
rick Theatre Turgenev’s. comedy, A
Month in the Country, translated from
the Russian by M. S.- Mandell, directed
by_,the Russian, Rouben Mamoulin * of
Porgy fame. The leading role in this
‘play;-which. has..never. “~~~ staged
in this country, is played, glamorously,
by Mme. Alla Nazimova.. A word about

her:

Mme. Nazimova came to this country
some twenty-five years ago as a .young
but already highly-admired Russian
actress. From the start she won extrava-
gam triumphs with Orleneff’s Russian

| Repertory Company in New York and,

later, in Henry Miller’s presentations of
Ibsen. I wish to remind you of this in
order to dim, if not obliterate, your prob-
able impression of her as the too-slinky-
to-be-nice movie siren. For she is a
great artist. and a great personality in
the American theatre. —

In A Month in the Country, Mme.
Nazimova “interprets the. complex psy-
chology in-the love experience of.a gen-
teel Russian lady.” As Natalia Petrovna,
the wife of -Arkadi ‘Serieich .Islaev, a
landowner, she has the misfortune to fall
in love with her little son’s tutor. Her
husband’s ward, Viera Alexsandrovna,
also falls in love with the tutor; Mikhail
Aleksandrovitch Rakitin, the guest .and
life-long friend of Islaev, is in love with

tutor, bewildered and proud of her love
—and so it goes; when I said complex I

-| meant complex. I refuse to tell you the

plot anyway. Of Mme. Nazimova’s per-
formance I cannot speak too highly ;- she
has the intensity and the psychological
unrest of the Russian character with
whom Ibsen, Turgenev and others have
fascinated and disturbed us. It is pos-
sibly because she is herself Russian that
she tan interpret with such subtlety and
finesse the temperamental vicissitudes of
[the role she plays.

. James Todd plays the part of tutor, the
young, the naive, the vigorously-active
country boy Although his performance
is fresh, he rather overdoes the awkward,
bashful slant. The ward is played by
Francesca Bruning, a piquant ‘and pretty
4ittle thing, and Earle Larimore as Mik-
hail “exhibits a poise and gentleness, a
quiet reserve,~interrupted sometimes by
sudden flashes of passion, which is both
penetrating and almost, perhaps, pathetic.
All the characters are indeed pleasing.
Cecil Yapp’s performance as a doctor”
adds 4 touch of humor which is genu- |
inely amusing, particularly in his rela-
tions with Henry Travers; a simple old
fool who is very simple. I mustn’t forget
to mention Islaev, played as I said before
by Edward Arnold. This part calls for
a blustering, loquacious and commonplace
“landowner,” but “Mr. Arnold is given
opportunity to prove his real powers in
a scene neat. the end when he discovers
that Mikhail loves his wife and with an,
unexpected generosity offers to sacrifice
himself.

The child whom Aleksei tutors, by the
way, is Islaev’s son, Kolia, enacted in
a stiff, conscious way by a little boy
named Norman Williams. He isn’t cute
and I like cute little prodigies.

The settings atid costumes in this play
were designed by M. S. Duzinsky and
are remarkable for their quaint charm,
originality, and beauty of color and ar-
rangement. The second scene in act Hae

Industrial Group

(Contributed by Margaret Waring, ’32)

The first meetirig of the Industrial
Group of the Bryn Mawr League was
held in the Germantown Y. W. C. A. on
October 22. The small number of Bryn
Mawr students found the many industrial
girls eager to talk. After the supper
the group sat around the fire and talked
about plans for the year. They decided
to try and see why there is unemploy-
ment, and why industry is slack. They
planned to start with a study of the tex-
tile industry of which most of the girls
ate representatives, and devote three
meetings to the discussion of this subject.
The girls have had practical experience
and it is a grand chance for us to knock
the corners off our economic theories
and see if they work.

One is struck by the optimism of the
girls, who never know when they are
going to lose all, their income. One

“Seasnd Varsity Game

Monday afternoon the. second Var-
sity defeated the Merion Club seconds,
10-3. Because of Merion’s weakness
the game was lacking in interest.

Gerhard took the scoring honors,
making six of the ten oy Although
she made so many goals, her “shooting
was not as hard as usual, and she
often went into the goal.with the ball.
On the whole her playing was good,
and she stayed in position more than
. Boyd and Waples in their first
game of. the season played extremely
well.

In the first half we, unscored upon,
led by a three-to-nothing score. Dur-
ing the second half the forward line
bombarded the Merion goaler for seven
more goals. In the gathering dusk and
confusion around the Bryn Mawr goal,

Merion was able to push in three

scores.

The Seniors with a complete team

tive estimate of ,the students whose inten-
tion it-is to work for the higher degrees,
particularly in the case of the doctorate,
for often two or more years of study are
completed before the candidate files a
formal application.

* The graduateysttident is d migrant.
Our own foreign students are one proof
of this. The large number of American
institutions represented here is a second.
Still another is the group of students
from this Graduate School sent out each
year for study abroad. Many- students
who have been here for a year or more
and will come back for their doctor’s
degree go to other institutions in this
country or abroad for: a broadening of
their experience. We in turn furnish the
years of variety to. another. group of
students who are candidates for the doc-
torate in other places. In fact, it is one
of my firmest convictions that it ought
‘tobe only over the dead body of any
Dean that.a candidate could be admitted
to the Ph.D. degree whose academic ex-
perience was. limited to one place.

From an- international point_of view
this steady migration of students would
seem a factor of inestimable impor-
tance in furthering mutual understand-
ings. The American graduate student
has been on the march for years, but
until recently the’ American under-
graduate has been kept at home. The
movement for the “Junior Year in
France, to’ be extended in the. near
future to other countries, is changing
that. I see as a possible by-product of
that movement the. breaking down of
some of the ‘barriers that have so
stupidly been allowed to grow up-in
this country between graduate and un-
dergraduate.

The European experience in the Jun-
ior Year gives. many American under-
graduates their first contact with stu-
dents who work on their own as do
European university stidents. If a
taste for independent work is thereby
developed the signals may well be set
for graduate study as the logical next
step after the A. B. degree.

who prefers Jane. Much wisdom and
clarity are shown in the development
of Jane herself and her various friends,
who cannot escape from themselves as
they were in youth. The older genera-
tion is wisely. depicted objectively, by
‘some one younger who cannot see the
lives of her parents as a continuous
whole. “They had always seemed so
staid, so settled, so more than middle-
aged.” In the background is the steady
and amazing growth of Chicago to a
powerful city, which sets a pace for
the generations who live in it. A sort
of reverence is evident in Mrs. Barnes’
treatment of Bryn Mawr and especially
in her appreciation of ~M. “Carey

is, in many places, somewhat disap-
pointing, a little wistful. There is an
‘inevitable facing of ‘the problems of
compromise and readjustmient. It is in
the grace with which Jane makes these
readjustments and faces these difficul-
ties that the strength and truth of the
book lie, and it is the gracelessness of
the younger generation in their living
which emphasizes this quality.

with a discussion of Verlaine and Rim-

baud. Considering first'the case of Ver;

laine, M. Hazard pointed out that he
was raised in a well-to-do bourgeois fam-
ily of Metz. ‘As a youth he followed the
usual classical course of study. . After
having studied law at Paris he entered
the offices of an insurance company and
in 1864 he acquired a sinecyte in the
municipal offices of Paris. Because he
had no inclination for.the work, he was
an indolent employee... He made the ac-
quaintance of Coppee, Prudhomme, “and
other Parnassians, and was influenced
for a time by their theory of impassibility
and art for art’s sake.. In 1866 he made
his debut with the Poemes Saturniens
which are but echoes of Leconte de Lisle
and Baudelaire. He was still, however,
apprentice drawing his inspiration
from every one with whom he came into
contact, even the Romantics; neverthe-
less, his personality becomes evident.
With the Fetes Galantes in 1869 he cap-
tures the tender grace of the eighteenth
century. To this he had added his dis-
tress and his heart, both sensual and
platonic. He was to be a poet, at one
and the same time bohemian and _ bour-
geois. This bourgeois side is exempli-
fied in his Bonne Chanson (1870) which

ideas, It Was a period of romanticism
and hope. Then the. buSiness interests
bought the movement out and crushed it;

the war finished the job. Now free
speech is.denied Communists. For or-
ganizing’ workers Communists are set on

more. In 1912—-New— York -passed- the
Airst..law.. against, orggnization; now
‘thirty-seven States have similar Taws. In
1896, during Bryan’s campaign for free
silver, the worker experienced a short
period of hope, but this soon passed.
There is now no educational or legal
remedy for the worker; he is helpless
and inarticulate. It is probable that the
movement in. America will follow with
fidelity that in Russia.

Socialism is no remedy. Those who
think anything can be achieved by legal
means are chasing will-of-the-wisps.

Economic conditions of workers under
Capitalism travel. in a curve. At first,
while industry is growing, labor is scarce
and wages rise. Later the curve passes
its highest point; there is unemployment
and low wages and the standards of liv-
ing of the worker are lowered. Great
Britain has come to the low end of the
curve and we are descending to it. Stand-
ards of living of many American workers
are lower than they were in 1913. :

While the capitalistic system is ‘disin-
tegrating it still wields such power that
only revolutionary action will meet. the
problem. A proletarian dictatorship like
that in Russia will prevent another fall of
Rome when the crash comes. A social
economy rather than ‘an individual econ-
omy. is needed. The next: forty. or fifty
years wilt probably bring. it and the
movemerft will probably be from Eurasia.

In conclusion, Mr. Nearing warned
| the audience that they must not allow
economic textbooks or newspapers to lull
them to sleep. Only 7 per cent. of the
world’s inhabitants’ are. American, but
one-third of the world’s unemployed are
in this country, and less well cared for
}than_in any other country except Japan.
It is for this reason that the pressure
towards Communism is so strong in the
United States. -

College Is Bad For Girls

“The girl whose ambition and aim is
to charm is still the winner with men.
And,. believe me, she’s rarely a college
graduate,” declares Nina Wiléox Put-
~Jekege, Humor,
“T am particularly. prejudiced against
colleges run strictly for women, but
feel that ‘there is a lot to be said in
favor of co-educational institutions. In
fact, I believe the worst that can be
said against the latter is that a co-
educational institution throws people of
opposite sexes, who are still pretty
young for the task, into a lot of grown-
up situations which they are really not
capable of handling.

“But the purely feminine college, run
by women for women, is a holy terror,
to my mind. To me it seéms to do
something awful to a girl. It’s a com-
pletely false world to begin with, be-
cause women are ‘basically rivals all
through their lives and do not herd

together naturally and impersonally as’

men do. Therefore a vast campus
simply crawling with females who ape
the independence of men_ without
achieving the solidarity of men. isto
me a false and pitiful thing. And at-
tendance at such a college more often
than not leaves a girl hanging midway
between intellectual snobbery and a
practical education in: living, without
achieying éither. Of course in the case
of a-girl who is deliberately planning
a career to which a special’ course of
study is essential, my verdict is entirely
different. She must, of. course, go to
college.

“But for an average girl
tends to make marriage her chief busi-
ness—and, thank heaven, they are still
in the majority—to waste four precious
years that ought to be devoted to ro-
mantic adventure, at a college which

who. in-

| offers contact only with her own sex;

seems tragic. And, what’s more, the
experience is often mighty unhealthy
for her whole point of view on sex.

 

 

“Some wise author, I’m not suffi-
ciently educated to remembér his name,
once. pulled a splendid gag to the ef-
fect that a little knowledge is a dan-
gerous. thing,..And.that’s how I feel
about the knowledge a girl gets at a
female university. What's the value
of a smattering of the classics, a course
in trig, or a sentefice or two ima dead
language, all of which is soon forgot-
ten, as against thé good, red-hot warm-
ing-up for the business of life which
a girl gets out of normal social con-
tacts during the four years which she
averages before marriage and after
school? Why waste that precious in-
terval by putting a girl-away in a sort
of home for grown-up female orphans
where life is artificial to the hth degree
and bears no relation to her real
future?

“Let's keep college for the grinds
and let our marriageable daughters
strut their: stuff at home. And if a girl
wants an occupation, let her get a job
of work, Any. work, practically, will
teach her more in a’ month that will
be of real value to her than she’ll pull
out of four years at Wreckem College.”

 

Shorthand For Everybody

Although most of the world’s output of
shorthand today .comes from the pencils
of women, John R: Gregg scouts the idea
that there is anything effeminate about it.
In an interview in the current number
of The- American» Magazine, Mr. Gregg,
himself the. inventor of widely used
system, harks back to the masculine be-
ginnings of abbreviated modes of writing.

The first practical pothooks, he. says,
were devised by a .young man named Tifo

a

in the first century B. C. Julius Caesar
was an adept stenographer, and ‘other
ancient and eminent Romans had_short-
hand: systems’ of their own. Contests

were held and prizes awarded, much as
they aré today. In those sterner days,

Taylor Tower

On Monday, afternoon, November 3,
at 4:30 o’clock, a passerby inquiring
the..time. might, have.been..startled..to
see a human head poked through Tay-
lor’s clock-face, Pembroke side. Many
were the mysteries revealed to the Cot-
LEGE News, on that day.

It all began with the mysterious
stairs—irgn-wrought and spiral—wind-
ing up and away from the common-

_ place third floor offices. The first sur-
prise came at a landing ‘which thrust
us’ into what was obviously Taylor’s
great garret. “Here were gloomy files,
heaps of musty monographs, and a coy
head of a Roman lady rising out of
the dust—also'a bucket of sand. We
recognized the familiar but indescrib-
able attic smell. After the monographs
«what should we find but innumerable
ladders. We pickéd one going down
into a sort of attic ballroom, where we
shuddered at a great, oblong, iron sar-
cophagous, the nature of which we
could not determine. A pigeon looked
in at us through a little window, and
nearly had a fit. Next we tried a lad-

_ der also going up into dim. obscurity but
we got scared when: we found that it only.
led to another ladder also going up. So
we scampered back to our spiral ‘staircase.

Now we could hear the rhythmic
ticking of the four clocks talking to-
gether, and in a moment we had dis-
covered their secret: a lovely - oiled
Mechanism with a Pendulum, and an
inscription which satd: Seth Thomas
Clock Company, April 1, 1885. (We
had always thought that the clock-
maker had duped us, and now we were
sure of it.) Up a few miore steps we
came upon the four round \backs of the
clock-faces, each with its\ little trap
door. (It was at this point that we
struck ‘our head out of the clock.)

-Then-we-climbed-on,—gettingsootier
and sootier up to Taylor Bell itself, in
its eight-windowed turret. It ‘proved
to be a real bell: (like the Liberty.
Bell), hung in’a wooden frame _with
ominous ropes around it. Its inscrip-

- tion explained that it was “Cast by
Thomas Dufrin, North Wales, Pa.,
1883,” and.that it weighed one thou-
sand pounds..The_ bell was simply
mottled with chalk autographs (even
George Washington’s) and we didn’t
feel as if we had accomplished any-
thing after all.

As we turned to the windows and
looked out, we could see all Taylor’s
chimney pots with pigeons sitting on
them. We could see the whole
campus, very neat and small, with lit-
tle people flurrying across it. And we
could also look away over the red,
gold and brown trees, to where the
Schuylkill ran among the hills.

But before we left, we gave a final
loying glance at Taylor bell, and were
conscience-stricken to see in raised let-
ters on its north side:

“Get Wisdom. Get Understanding.”

were punished not by official reproof but
- by the amputation of the offending hand
or fingers.

Mr. Gregg predicts that shorthand will
one day become the universal mode of
writing. The same forecast has been
made for typewriting, so ordinary long-
hand seems doomed. There are two pop-
ular systems of shorthand in general use
in this country, based on widely different
principles, and the users of one find the
other quite unintelligible. A skilled ste-

-. nographer can generally read the notes of
another who uses her : system, particu-
larly. if they deal with a line of business
with which she is familiar. But every
expert tends to develop his own personal
abbreviations which could be only guessed
at roughly by other people. And the
more he condenses his shorthand, the
speedier it goes.

Ordinary writing is often difficult
enough to decipher. But a really for-
midable problem would be presented by
a shorthand letter from a modern Horace
Greeley—New York. Times.

 

School Spirit at Trinity

Show your school’ spirit! How often
‘have you heard that said? And how
often have you seen it carried out? Just
mind it is that elusive something which
makes a student support with loyalty and
enthusiasm college institutions and ac-
tivities. '

And what does all that mean? It
means joining Glee Club if you can sing,
Dramatics jf you can act, Debating if,
your talents run argumentativewise. If

stil fur
satel, to. stop the taking. of attend~|.

the clubs which deal with those subjects.
If. you really cannot. do ‘any of these
things, then encourage those who can
by being present at the various. enter-
tainments: they offer throughout the-year.
An appreciative audience is every bit as
important as efficient performers.

School spirit means that five days a
week, 10:15 will find you seated in. the
auditorium ; that “sings” will always find
you among “‘those present.” . Sodality ex-
ercises and nfeetings will have: your sup-
port also. Teams will find you a faithful
attendant of practices; if you are not ath-
letically inclined, the cheering squad will
enjoy your presence and voice. Not only
will you read the college magazine and
paper in the library, but you will also
subscribe to them.

Have you. time for all this—club meet-
ings, song rehearsals, team practices?
Others have. Why not you?
rate, try it and see. One action speaks
louder than many words. Show your
school spirit!—The Trinity Times.

 

Fifteen Years Ago

 

Class Spirit Run Riot

To the Editor of the CotteceE News’

“Class spirit” is venting itself: this
year in contests in enthusiasm. Not
content with rivalling each .other in
athletics, the different classes are bent
now on outyelling each other. Clap-
ping, too, has become a serious busi-
ness; proficiency in it demands  train-
ing just as skill in dribbling tthées. One
must also cultivate an éxpression of
ecstacy to be assumed while one’s
sister class sings its Junior Song. For,
on the intensity of this ecstacy and on
the loudness of the subsequent ap-
plause- depends the standing of the
spirit of the classes. At least so the
classes seem to think, or, rather, they

sion. For, waiving the question as to
whether enthisiasm is a valid test of
class spirit, can’ any one really believe
that this sort of thing is enthusiasm?
Enthusiasm must be spontaneous.
is a vivid feeling, and must often. espe-
rcially when shared by a crowd have-a
lively outlet. There is no objection
to this.” The noisy kitid of enthusiasm
aroused by a close water-polo game
is the finest thing in the world. That
is because it is genuine. It is real en-
thusiasm. Organized uproar is not.
—Deafened.

 

The Freshman gowns distributed on
Thursday were from two to six inches
too short. The gowns should be~six
inches from the ground: Some were
exchanged, some were altered, but
many had to be sent back. As a re-
sult of this mistake many of the Fresh-
men have not gowns and had to bor-
row them for Lantern Night.

Editorial: \We are told that when
the man who sent the Freshman gowns
was questioned as to the cause of their
shortness he replied, “All gowns are
worn short. this year.” Thus we see
the effect of fashion on everything.
Even the formerly dignified academic
gown has become tinged with the
spirit of the smock. Each year will
bring new changes. \ There will be hob-
ble gowns and hoop-gowns, empire
gowns and princess\ gowns. Future
generations may find this a relief from
monotony. For us old conservatives
it is, to say the least, shock.

 

Freedom, and More Freedom
It is interesting to note a recent
change in the Bryn Mawr cut system.
The record in’ their college News
reads: “A student is allowed only so
many cuts per semester as. she has
regular Courses per week... .. A stu-
dent taking ¢éxcess cuts up| to and
above her. individual allowance shall be
placed on student probation . » » and
is liable to have part or all of her
semester’s work cancelled.”

And what about the Goucher) “cut
system”? A minus quantity; we are
free of such. Instead of an allowance
of cuts per semester, we are encouraged
to take none, but we walk unforbidden
to take any number. Instead of stu-
ent probations and severer penalties,
“we go unfearfully, for the administra
tion devises no punishments for us.
This freedom is.-undoubtedly a
glorious thing, a thing to be proud

At anyy

seem to have. jumped to such a conclu-|.

it |"

so difficult that it, is the wise woman
who goes. Smith College uses this
system. President Robertson approves
it. It would imply dignity and ma-
turity on the part of Goucter-women,
not to ‘mention. scholarliness..and_in-
tellectual interest. An acid test, bit
we should expect a positive reaction.

the hearth.

 

At this time his—lfe becomes inter-~4
“woven with “that of “Arthur Rimbaud,

who was the Son of a ne’er-do-well officer
and a mother With a firm sense of duty.
Rimbaud was a précocious child with an
innaté desire to deny everything he
learned; M. Hazard called him a Pro-
.metheus: His first verses, like those of
Verlaine, were Parnassian in form; some
were even like thosé of the romantic
Victor Hugo, othersglike those of Theo-
dore de Banville. His first manner, con-
sequently, was one of violence; his poetry
was a cry of blasphemy against every-
thing and especially against banality; he
is happy only when he is creating a
scandal and flinging mud. In 1870 he
fled from the provinces to Paris where
he was imprisoned. After this unfortu-
nate experience he left for Belgium as a
beggar. Sometime later he returned to
his home in Charleville. _In 1871 he pro-
pounded an entirely new theory in a let-
ter to Dumesnil. Since Grecian times,
he said, there had’ always been rimers
but no poets. The poet should be a seer
who should not reflect the. world about
him but who should create something else
by exaggerating his capacity for sensa-
tion, The poet can only make himself
a seer by a long, continued, reasoned-out
disorder of the senses. He indulges his
imagination in frenzies which lead to the
creation of a second world, of an infinite
beyond. Baudelaire is to him the first
seer so far as ideals are concerned, but
his form is trivial and’ petty. Rimbaud
now proposes a new form in order tc
translate his’ visions. :

This is the stage at which Rimbaud
“enters the life of Verlaine. At this time
the menage Verlaine was going. very
badly, for husband. and wife were ill-
suited to each other. Into the strangely
assorted household Verlaine invited the
young Rimbaud, a strange, awkward,
ragged figure.. Because of the displeasure
of his wife, Verldine was forced to .leave
his home with Rimbaud, from whom he
refused to be separated, and to depart
with him for Brussels, In 1872. they
were deported by the Belgians and sailed.
for I.ondon where’ they touched the very
depths of misery.- So great was their
distress that Rimbaud became tired ot
it atti abandoned Verlaine, ill at the mo-
men s ‘soon as he had recovered,
Verlaine followed him to “Brussels and
in his madness shot him, but not fatally.
Verlaine, immediately imprisoned, had
‘time for reflection and sent out during
his captivity some of his most lasting
work, the Romances sans Paroles (1874)
Sagesse (1881): which described his re-
morse, his humble faith, his desire for
repose. In 1884 came Jadis et Naguere
containing, in M. Hazard’s opinion, the
most beautiful of his poems... In all of
his poetry there is a renunciation of ,the
oratorical, the’ intelligent, the reasonable,

in favor of intuition, sentiment, and emo-

tion. In Verlaine’s poetry we ‘find echoes
rather than sounds, ‘music rather ‘than
fanfares.

On- October 28th, M. Hazard con-
tinued his description of the literary rela-
‘tions between Verlaine and Rimbaud.
Until 1873 Rimbaud’s works had not been
collected. into a single volume. Now
Verlaine published them under the title of
Les Illuminations. ©His poetry was
strange, extraordinary, and bizarre. With
Verlaine there was a voluntary absence
of all logic; with Rimbaud there was
the same thing plus a dynamic power.
Words in Rimbaud possessed not only

* their own individual force bit an addi-
tional force gained by juxtaposition. To
Verlaine words create a hallucination of
the eye and ear; each word is valuable
for its sound and its place. What is for
others slavery is for the poet fantastic
creation. The less the poet -is understood,
the greater value does his poetry -con-
tain. ot

In 1871. Rimbaud published his Bateau
Ivre which may be characterized as her-
metic poetry, incapable of being inter-
preted Without great effort. To com-
plete a discussion of his work one must
include his Saison en Enfer, likewise dif-
ficult to interpret. First of all it is a
sincere, lyrical confession of the psycho-
logical distress that went on in his soul

" |imagery and an emphasis on sound.

and the ordinary, no one’s influence on
French poetry was greater than Rim-
baud’s. In short he was the forerunner
of sudrealisme, the tenets of which were
‘a hatred of the academic, a renewal of

M. Hazard then returned to Vérlaine,
whom hé déscribed- as having, -in- 1885,
established himself in Paris with his
nother. One year later, after her death,
he began to frequent and become a mem-
ber of the lowest class of society; he died
in frightful misery in 1896. One must
not, howéver, remember Verlaine as this
debased man; rather should one regard
him as one who has merely a corporeal
relation with the true Verlaine. The
ending of Rimbaud was no less igho-
minious. After adventures of rather a
dubious character in Holland, Java and
Africa with the sole purpose of accumu-
lating money, he died with terrific suf-
fering at the age of thirty-seven.

Both of .the extraordinary creatures
effected a great change in the national
literary traditions of France. The logic
and’ oratorical -value previously ~~mani-
fested ,in French lyricism were, because
of their revolt, no longer to dominate
poetic creation.

 

The Red ions in Athletics

Evidence that university faculties are
giving thought to the need of a sports
program which- will attract general par-
ticipation on the part of the students
in their ‘institutions is seen by Red
Cross representatives having extensive
cantacts with the educational centers
of the country.

‘The discussion of too much special-
ized athletic activity, in which only
super athletes are wanted, or devel-
oped, leaving the majority of the stu-
dents on the sidelines, has drawn atten-
tion not. alone of the public, but has
aroused interest among the students
themselves, even though the charge is
not necessarily applicable in all cases.

In some instances, as one observer
commented, , too specialized athietirs.|
has resulted! in what might. be termed
a course in “sports appreciation,” but
has added no extra Credits to the in-
dividual student’s record. What
needed, apparently, is a program which
is valuable to all students primarily as

1S,

sides, a certain practical aspect.

For. years the Red Cross has been
welcomed in .universitics and colleges,
with its program of swimming instruc-
tion, life-saving and first aid. These
coursés have been adopted as. official
fequirements in certain institutions
where physcal education is stressed.
In the U. S. Military Academy at West
Point; among others, and most State
colleges the Red Cross certificate is
the highest award for swimming and
life-saving. In technical institutions,
such as. schools of mining and en-
gineering, in normal schools stressing
physical education the first aid course
is recognized for its practical value
after graduation.

The Red Cross, it is explained, has
no part in a discussion of too special-
ized sports; nevertheless, as the prob-
lem has arisen, it has suddenly been
realized that in: the Red Cross _ pro-
gram, which is a part of the work at
so many institutions of higher learn-
ing, there is an answer ready to hand.

As

 

higher academic qualifications than one
who is not college trained—why should
he not be better equipped for practical
sport? He very likely will be a golf
enthusiast, a tennis devotee, and, in
summer¥ at least, will spend part of his
time on the water. He may be a good
hand at the former games; and through
Red Cross instruction he can be sure
of his qualifications as a swimmer.” —

The degree of interest in these Red
Cross college sports is indicated by the
fact that a considerable part sof the
instruction is. by qualified students who
give volunteer service. This service
‘has its reward in a certificate from the
Red-Cross in recognition of a certain
number of hours of such service, a
higher award in a medal, and of course,
the distinctive emblem of the life saver.
Should the graduate elect physical edu-
cation as his field, he has a valuable
