Willard, speaking on The Abbey of Monte Cassino and: the Mediaeval Culture of Southern Italy, described with the help of lantern slides a re- construction of the abbey as it was during the height of its influence in the late eleventh century, and explain- ed the abbey’s important position in the art, architecture, fine manuscript writing, and general culture of the Middle Ages. The mother-monastery of the Benedictine order, founded about the year 1540 by Saint Bene- dict on the site of a great temple of Apollo atop a low ridge of the Abruz- zi mountains midway. between Naples and Rome, has preserved even until Oriental influence. At the present time only buildings of the Baroque period of the sixteenth and_ seven- teenth centuries are to be seen, but a careful comparison of the present cen- tury buildings, and church architec- ture of the period in the surrounding country, presents a good idea of. the monastery in the days of its greatest abbot, Desiderius. As long as monks of the order continue ‘to live on*the site, the usual archaeological investi- gations cannot be carried out, for this abbey is one of the few monasteries permittted in Italy and harbours about forty monks. The site of the Monte Cassino abbey has ‘been in use ever since prehistoric times. Its impregnable situation high on the mountain above the rich and fertile plain of the river Lirus at- tracted early peoples to the spot, as is shown by the remains of a fifth cen- tury B.C, Etruscan wall circuiting the present monastery walls. In heathen days the site was a great walled acropolis, and the sacred foun- der tore down an altar of the god Apollo to erect an oratory to Saint Martin. “In the temple of Apollo, the Saint meditated upon his human and Continued on Page Four Famous Mathematician, Dr. Emmy Noether, Dies The College was shocked and griev- ed to hear that Dr. Emmy Noether, one of the most eminent modern mathematicians, and visiting lecturer in mathematics at. Bryn Mawr, died on April 14 after undergoing a seri- ous operation. Dr. Noether was born at Erlangen in 1882, the university at, which her father, Dr. Max Noether, was a pro- fessor of mathematics of great. note. Dr. Emmy Noether received the de- gree of Doctor of Philosophy from Er- langen in 1907. She was Privatdozent and Professor of Mathematics at the University of Gd6ttingen. Some of the most distinguished German stu- dents. of mathematics have been her pupils. The Rockefeller Foundation and the Emergency Committee in Aid of Displaced German Scholars made it possible for the Department of Mathe- matics to invite her to Bryn Mawr. Her special field was modern algebra, in which she solved difficult problems of calculus, and about which she wrote in many German mathematical peri- odicals. Dr. Noether came to Bryn Mawr in the fall of 1938. Last year she gave ‘a, course in Modern Algebra to four graduate students, and this year three research fellows with unusual previ- ous records were especially invited to work with her. Miss Stauffer has just completed the thesis on which she was working with Dr. Noether. Miss Mon- roe is the only undergraduate who has studied with her. Fathers Suggest Undergraduate Appeals, Many Small Gifts to Raise $20,000.Quota Deanery, April 14.—The Under- graduate Drive Committee had a most enjoyable and profitable meeting with some of the fathers of members of the Committee who were kind enough to give some words of wisdom about how we should go about raising our quota of $20,000. Miss Park opened ,the proceedings with a welcoming talk which not only admirably summed up the purpose of the gathering, but also helped to make the fathers completely at home. After luncheon Mrs. Slade told of the prog- ress of the Drive’to .date, reporting that if we should have to stop. now we would be able to report that $250,- 000 is definitely promised. Many peo- ple were and are extremely skeptical about Bryn Mawr’s chances of success in this campaign, but certainly no one can fail to be impressed by the prog- ress so far. The problem now at hand is how to get the rest, and in par- ticular, how: the undergraduates are to raise their quota. This was the a basketball games and the Faculty Show, the square dances, and _ the Greek play. About $8,800 has been achieved through these: measures and through the ‘pledges of students; but that leaves nearly $12,000 still to be obtained, most of which will probably have to come from outside the Col- lege. Dr. Crenshaw, of the Chemistry Department, revealed the plans for integrating the work of the various de- partments which a new Science Build- ing will make possible. Mr. Grover Whalen, former, Com- missioner of Police-in New York City, then told his impressions of Bryn Mawr’s Drive and encouraged every- one greatly by expressing his belief that the impossible could be achieved, and reported that he personally was going to do all that he could to help put it over. Mr. C. Reed Cary next gave some useful ideas about points to stress in approaching people and about methods of meeting them. He sounde a note which several subsequent speak & ~~ problem about which we wished’ to consult the group of fathers who had come to the Deanery luncheon. Mrs. Slade announced that each one of the fathers.nresent would tell some-_ thing about what he thought best for us to do to bring our part of the Drive to a successful close. Before any of ‘the fathers spoke, Maynard Riggs, vice-president of the Undergraduate Association, reviewed the various ac- tivities of the students which are de- signed to raise part of our total gift. These included: the giving up of des- serts, the Bookshop tax, sales of oranges, cookies and cakes, the faculty ers emphasized, stating his belief that the appeal of students themselves was perhaps the most successful way jof breaking down the resistance of the verson being interviewed. Mr. Charles ‘Edwin Fox also discussed the value of this kind of contact and impressed those. present. greatly by his casual remark that he had participated in five campaigns of this sort in the past few months. His ideas certainly ried the weight of past experience hind | them, equalled, perhaps, by no one else ; Fox ended his talk by telling us that a Continued on e Three | except.

Holyoke, Smith, Vassar, and Wellesley. The representatives from Mt. Holyoke were Drew Mathews, re- tiring chairman. of Community; Har- riet Williams, new chaixman, and Jane Lester, chairman of the Judicial Board. Elizabeth Gamble and Mar- garet Whittem, old and new heads of Student Government, and Evelyn Judicial Board, were representing Smith. Vas- sar sent Ann Oliver and Peggy Pren- tiss, retiring and new presidents :of the student: Association, and Rosarina Robbins, Chief Justice. Nancy Ellen and Marian Blake Schoenfuss, old and new presidents of College Govern- ment, came from Wellesley. They were entertained by Susan Morse and Marion Bridgman, retiring and new presidents of the Self Government As- sociation. The principle questions-un- der discussion were smoking and social regulations, which are much more libé eral here than in other colleges. As regards smoking Smith has the same regulations as Bryn Mawr/ ex- cept that, at Smith, students sthoke only at specified hours. The risk of fire is considered so great that those smoking in their rooms. must go up before the president of the ¢ollege as well as the president of Student Gov- ernment. The colleges in which smok- ing is allowed in Students’ rooms have fire-proof buildings. Bryn Mawr seems to be more lenient than most colleges jin dealing with latenesses, since at /Mt. Holyoke a $1.00 fine is charged for a-one to five minute lateness, and the fine for thir- ty minute lateness is $5.00. At Smith those ‘even one oh late are cam- pused for a week, while any lateness in returning after an overnight ab- sence is penalized by the removal of one of the nights of leave, of* which seven are allowed a semester. The question of finances was alsé discussed. /Smith has an efficient sys- tem,—namely, a blanket tax, which covers class dues, A. A. dues, Chris- tian Assocation dues, the college pa- per, dramatics and debating club ex-» penses./ The entire tax is only $7.00 a yeay, and the Judicial Board enal- izes those who do not pay. The finance manager is a student officer.? This san system of blanket payment exists at Vassar, but her board of trustees gives $3,000.00 for all such organiza-| tions.

Olmsted Point Out Encroachment Of Militarism WAR WILL DRAFT WOMEN Pier en Hall, -April12:; "==" The cause of peace was presented to the members of college in a mass meeting, and enthusiastically supported by both students and outside speakers. Miss Gertrude Ely and Mrs. Mildred Scott O Imsted were the guest speakers, while Caroline-C. Brown and Barbara Cary represented the college. Miss Brown,.in opening, explained the international importance of this demonstration, pointing out that simi- lar gatherings were being held simul- taneously by student bodies all over the United States and in France, Italy, England, Germany, and Spain. Bryn Mawr, by adding the weight of her support to this widespread movement, has shown an intelligent attitude to- wards peace and has thereby taken a step towards removing the cause for accusations of lethargy on this sub- ject which have not infrequently been raised against her in the past. This movement, organizing students into anti-war committees, should gf¥e those of us participating a sense of our own power. Miss Gertrude Ely, Vice-President of the League of Women Voters, gave her hearty approval,to our entrance into this students’” peace movement. We are fortunate, she said, to be im college with people courageous enough to think out the peace problem, de- termined that there shall not be an- other war. This is a very different attitude. from that of the majority of older people. Our attitude should be- come a contagion carried by youth all over the United States.

Some riotous person in the audience gave her/balloon a little pat; it flew over thé heads of several undergrad- uates /and landed in the lap of an elderly gentleman. He, evidently in- spired by the occasion, proceeded to bat the balloon himself. The game spread with new players joining at every moment. Fortunately for a few of the fairly serious people, who did not like balloons in their hair, a loud blast of trumpets brought to an end all such extemporaneous_ entertain- ment. Next came a mock May Day procession. Down the aisle from the back Miss Walsh rode a foreign-look- ing, four-legged animal, led by Miss Lake. Following this spectacle came the one-man band: Mr. Willoughby swirled about from traps to organ, and set up a din which turned the mock ceremony into a real parade. In the rest of the procession there were Dr. Chew, the master-of-ceremonies and general director, dressed in. a com- pletely outlandish garb; Miss Terrien, who bounced along as a_ sprightly Queen Elizabeth, preceded and follow- ed by numerous men clothed in black |robes and carrying rapiers so held as to make an arch; Dean Schenck, wear- ing enough sparkling diamonds to run Mae West close competition, and a large group of wreathed and rouged young ladies, headed gaily toward the spot where the crowning of ‘the May Queen was to take place. The girl chosen to be thus honored was par- ticularly well suited for her part; she was a statuesque beauty, who wore her hair in long, flowing locks; she tripped beautifully and gracefully up to the stage. It was only when she was obvious to everyone in the audi ence, that Dr. Metzger’s true beauty was appreciated by all. He was *\ huge success: as Queen of the May! After the crowning of the /Queen on the stage, the Tabloid of Muchado was presented. Faculty members danced in a chorus and sang their in- troductory song. Mr. Willoughby was the star performer; he not only di- rected the singing and did the solo dancing, but he also turned out to be a quick change artist/ The lights dimmed a moment, and when they came up again, Uncle Sam’s Navy was on hand to do /a Sailors’ Horn- pipe. Such agility on the part of our staid professors again started the hys- terical laughter of the audience. Dr. Chew’s comments between scenes did not give anyone a chance to stop gig- gling or to catch his breath. Miss Robbins came on the stage next.

University of Erlaagen, 1907 Born 1882 Died April 14, 1935 Action! Action! The casual lethargy with which Bryn Mawr undergraduates nomi- nate and elect candidates for important positions on campus has become an unwritten tradition. It has become smart to be vague, lazy and unconcerned about who shall hold the collegiate offices that most vitally affect our four years of life within these academic walls. Class meetings are suddenly called, the same old people from the same old groups are put up; discussion is usually waived and with each succeed- ing year girls are automatically elected to office without any care or regard for their talents or abilities to carry out the work of these posi- tions. As a rule, they discharge their duties reasonably well, and no one bothers any further about the matter. Life goes on in its usual unconcerned manner. The fact that every year eighty-five girls graduate from Bryn Mawr proves of itself that the majority of students on campus really enjoy college life and believe that Bryn Mawr is fundamentally sound. Why this majority shows none of its regard for the college in intelli- gent election of students, remains a inystery. A few people often hold many offices apiece, merely because their names are generally known, when it is obvious that even the most capable people cannot efficiently divide their energies. There are many capable, often brilliant people, whose admirable talents are never discovered or utilized during their four years of college. At the same time, many inefficient people win elections, who either should not -hold office at all or are not suited by their abilities for that particulap“office, and they are often the people who handle the most important undergraduate affairs. There is always room for fresh talent; there are always people with latent ability of the highest order who should be put into office. It is time that action was taken on the part of the student -body and on the part of the classes to elect the right people for the right offices. The sophomore class has decided this spring to remedy this poor. state of affairs and to avoid the usual railroading into office of the -same old people during class meetings. The class has elected from each hall two members for a nominating committee who, with the president of the class, will deliberate and consider all the people in the class in -order to select the able people for each office. Hall representatives, who are usually put up because no one particularly dislikes them, were not necessarily chosen for the committee. Each hall selected those sopho- mores who, in the opinions of the students themselves, best know the members of the class and can judge most accurately without regard to personal friendship the girls best suited for each position. This nomi- nating committee will then select from. five to ten people for each position and present them to the class. Further nominations may come, if desired, from the floor. The class then can hear the soberly consid- ered report of the committee and elect the three nominees to be pre- sented to the college for election. This method is designed to bring to light new and efficient talent, and to. prevent the usual procedure of continually electing the same old people regardless of their abilities for the given job. If the experiment succeeds in its purposes in the sophomore elections this spring, the college may well adopt this system in every class. Lost Opportunities We have long wanted to express our views on the attitude of Bryn ~ Mawr students to the attendance at lectures. We have gone to quite a few in the course of our career in this institution, and we have almost never failed to note with regret not only the very visible evidence of the difficulty of completely filling the spacious rows of Goodhart Hall, _ but more especially, we have commented on the usual scarcity ofsunder- graduate representatives at many of the events which occur there. ; things which nearly every college emphasizes as a a its favor is the number and variety of Jecture foundatioris WITS END| Let’s pray it’s not feasible That Bryn Mawr is measable.

The other day an_ enthusiastic Alumna gave a Haverford Graduate, | her son, three of the fiftieth anniver-| sary seals to send out as he thought best. The following is an exerpt of a letter received by the aforemention- ed Graduate’s classmate, telling in| rather typical style just what became} of the seals: “. . .

No word was seid as to the participation by the United States jn a system of codperative de- fense to replace the present depend- ence of each nation upon its own army and navy for its national defense. No word was said even of the assumption by the United States of an obligation to consult with other nations in a time of crisis such as the present one. The meeting dealt merely with symp- :toms, and very confused symptoms at that, and not with causes. Once a war has broken out, all experience in- dicates that resolutions of non-partici- pation will be swept aside by a high tide of national passion; there will be no alternative but to take part in it, Our sole hope is to prevent the war from coming about; and I submit that it can be prevented, not by resolutions of non-participation, but by support- ing a policy of codperation by the United States with other countries in constructive measures to remove the causes of war and to act in unity to preserve the peace. Student opinion as to the folly of war Should indeed be made vocal; but it will be more effective if it is. con- structive and offers practical guidance to our legislators. /It is of little help to the President and to members of Congress to be told that the student body of the country wants peace; they themselves want it quite as much. But it would be of very great help to them to know that student opinidn would support them against the isolationists in adopting a policy of codperation with other nations in concrete meas- ures to promote peace. C. G. FENWICK. We feel that Dr. Fenwick’s criti- cism of the recent peace rally is a justified one. We do think, however; that it might be of interest to many people to know that some __ positive measures were undertaken in order to express to legislators in Washington concrete proposals to which we hoped they would give consideration. The views of the students were expressed in telegrams sent to the President, and to Pennsylvania’s two Senators. They were worded as follows: “We, the students of Bryn Mawr College, will back any government measures to promote international peace, but we do not believe that in- crease of armaments, manoeuvers of the navy in the Pacific this summer, THE MAD HATTER. compulsory R.

Bryn Mawr’is particularly fortunate in the fact ‘that although the foundations and appropriations for this purpose are not nearly so numerous as we would wish, those which we do have are wisely designated so that speakers in many fields of activity come here to lecture to us. Many Alumnae with whom we have spoken have mentioned to us that their recollections of famous lectures are among their most keen and delightful memories of their college careers. Doubtless the case will be the same with us, or rather with those of us who take the trouble to go to lectures. We admit, of course, that prob- ably no one would care to go to all the talks given. in Goodhart and the Deanery, and we know for certain that no-one could possibly have the time for them, but nevertheless we do feel that there is ample cause to believe that student attendance could be better on many occasions. The essential interest is not lacking, we feel sure, and all that is neces- sary is that we should bestir ourselves. The effort is worthwhile because it is through outside lecturers and speakers that our contacts with other colleges and schools, other trends and ideas, and other places and people are renewed and refreshed. measures are conducive to peace. We feel. that at this moment of interna- tional crisis such militaristic pro- grams misrepresent to Europe and the Orient the strong desire for peace which. we _ believe exists ‘in this country.”—Eds.

Mr. Howard Goodhart spoke of Bryn Mawr’s many contributions in . varied fields and gave a very practical suggestion that some money might be gained by the Seniors through the means of requesting aunts, cousins and friends to give to the Drive the amount of money that they had plan- ned to spend on flowers at Commence- ment. The recurring feeling of opti- mism which interspersed the many practical suggestions advanced in the meeting was again in evidence when Mr. Ward Canaday expressed the be- lief that even more than a million dol- lars might be obtained. He also stat- ed that it might be a good idea to widen the scope of the publicity by ap- pealing not so much for a new build- ing, but rather by emphasizing the means of giving Bryn Mawr the tools to enable her to continue to turn out the able, educated and cultured women’ for which she is so noted. Mr. J. Henry Scattergood, the college Treas- urer, expressed a point of view which is eminently practical, but which at the same time presents difficulties, that the total sum to be. raised must probably come more from a massing together of comparatively small gifts, This means that many more people} must be approached and some of the responsibility for this must. be borne by undergraduates.

Mrs. Manning concluded the meet- ing with some amusing anecdotes which dealt with her experiences in the 1920 campaign, which she told in order to show that it pays never to give up hope, no matter how unsuc- cessfully an interview seems to be turning out. Following the departure of some of the guests who had to re- turn to their varied pursuits, those who remained explored the mysteries of Dalton. All who went were unani- mous in expressing their sentiments that the tour spoke volumes more than anything else could in showing Bryn Mawvr’s genuine needs. > PEIRCE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION SECRETARIAL TRAINING: One and Two Year Courses for High School and College Graduates 70th Year Book, Address Secretary PHILADELPHIA | jectors.

To Dialogue BORES NEW GENERATION Deanery, April 14.—Mr. Austin K. Gray, speaking on “Bernard Shaw in Retrospect,” announced that Shaw is honorably dead; he has outlived his generation and today is considered a bore. Shaw did two things in his plays: he stimulated people to think, and having done that, he made them laugh at what they thought. These were Shaw’s most important assets, and even they led to a fault, that of sacrificing the play to the dialogue. Characterization, save for one or two 3 exceptions, is almost completely lack- “a ing in Shaw’s plays. . Recently one of the English week a lies conducted a poll to find out who is 3 the biggest bore in England. There were more than a thousand candidates, and of these, Shaw, won by a hand- some majority. His victory indicates that whatever he may have to say will be heard with that respect ac- J corded a voice from the dead. Al- ; though Shaw is honorably dead, he is j not yet honorably interred; “West- minster Abbey still yawns for him, in more than one sense.” The younger generation of today has turned com- pletely away from him. Of the pre-war generation, Shaw was the leading god. Besides stimu- lating thought and making the thought ludicrous, Shaw “talked a lot-of non- sense about socialism, the slums, and supermen.” He had, too, a loudly-pre- claimed doctrine that women were not individuals, but were merely custod- ians of morality, the home and the race. They were a “cosmic urge for babies,” and men were necessary only in so far as they satisfied that urge. Shaw’s doctrine was as much_ sex theory as the younget generaton could stand. : It was not until Mr. Gray was eight- een that he realized Shaw’s existence as a playwright; this occurred when he went to seé You Never Can Tell. He was thrilled and: shocked at the unconventional scene for the first act, a dentist’s office. In this act, the gen- eral comedy situation was skillfully produced. In the second act, the com- edy seemed to change suddenly to tragedy, and it was obvious that the third act would be completely tragic. The third act actually started toward such an end, then “everything petered out in talk.” Candida was the next Shaw play that Mr. Gray saw; this comedy followed the same general out- line as You Never Can Tell. It is true that Shaw, like all play- wrights, has his own dramatic form- i ula. His first act consists of an 5 introduction to the general situation and the general characters,-and a dis- cussion of issues such as the slums, doctors, and the British empire. Al- ways, too, there is Romantic Love. The second act is a series of tragic knots. eS In the third- act, everything disap- pears except Romantic Love, which remains only Jong enough to be kicked off the stage. St. Joan and Caesar and Cleopatra differed from Shaw’s form- ula because they both dealth with his- torical situations. 4 ' The test of Shaw is to see his plays 4 on the stage. Certdin of them are good, even if they are “old stuff,” as Candida and You Never Can Tell. Caesar and Cleopatra, St. Joan, and, probably, Pygmalion, will survive. Other plays, like Getting Married, are intolerable. One of the main criticisms of Shaw 4 is that he has no sense of character; ; his plays consist merely of dialogue and paradox. Shaw is at his porst in characterizing women. Poze. t of his doctrine of women’s lack of soul and their single biological purpose, his women lack rey and verisimilitude. bad ~ GREEN HILL FARMS City Line and Lancaster Ave. Overbrook-Philadelphia | | a | | A reminder that we would like to er rome. veacbatasale | take care of your parents and |} Center Gifeuleure ~" Gbnitinued from Page One Monte Cassino Was | | | temperate Rule which became, with | the rapid grawth of the Abbey, ‘the | Rule for most of the western monks. | Late in the sixth century the monas- | tery of Benedict was destroyed by the, Lombaids, but the monks, after a cen- | tury of seclusion in Rome, returned to! their site, and at the time of Charle- magne the abbey became a quiet and | tranquil center of monastic life.

During the great cathedrals, the universities, and the growth of the scholastic philosophy, the Abbey of Monte Cassino assumed a leadership and enjoyed in the late eleventh century under the Abbot De-; isderius a golden age of political pow- er and cultural influence. Although some parts of the build-| ings date back to early Christian cen- turies, the principal structures are all | late Renaissance. In 1349 one of the earthquakes that periodically this limestone region, destroyed many of the structures, which were rebuilt, while in the sixteenth century many | buildings were torn down to build, elaborate Baroque edifices. However, the changes since the Abbey’s days of glory have been principally surface | and decorative, for the ground plan has remained the same with few addi- tions since Desiderius erected his unit of church, dormitory, refectory, clois- ter, courts, and accessory buildings in the eleventh century. Today there is little to suggest the Mediaeval and the Romanesque for the richness of the decoration, the Florentine marbles, and the elaborate paintings and sculp- ture of the church are all Baroque or late Renaissance. Before the church are two connecting courts, or atriums, one above the other and separated by a great flight of steps. The balconies, pilasters, and ornate well-heads of these courts reveal Baroque qualities; the Egyptian granite of the pillars of the inner court indicate again the Ori- ental influences at work in the build- ing of the monastery. The church is now, like the other buildings of the unit, a fine example of Baroque architecture, and the interior containing paintings by Bassano, is a good illustration of the brilliant and ornate seventeenth century Baroque. Since excavations and restorations of the Romanesque cannot be conducted while monks still inhabit the hospice, the fine manuscripts and documents of the library are the chief source of in- formation about the monastery dur- ing the three centuries of great influ- ence that Monte Cassino enjoyed.

Campus celebrities were thick on Goodhart stage during the next skit, while Dr. Grey did his best to take pictures of the various under- graduates, portrayed by faculty mem- bers. First Miss Howe came by on her way to hockey; next Mrs. Brough- ton walked in front of the audience, dressed in a trailing Indian print. The real imitatf#ns soon began: Mrs. Crenshaw wore Margaret Kidder’s hat, so that no one doubted that she was the owner of that unique head- gear; Miss Walker was Sophie Hemp- hill; Miss Lograsso burlesqued Betty Bryan. Hulda Cheek, herself, could not have been more like herself than Miss Linn was, gloves, voice and all. Miss Requa and Miss Fernon were Betty Lord and Sally Park, respect- ively.

They were all even more light on their feet es a good deal more exaggerated in their movements than those under- graduates who did the same dance last year.

Much Ado But Not For Nothing was not only a success in that it was supreme entertainment and in that it went over financially, but also because it succeeded in telling the undergrad- uates as a whole, in sugar-coated form, that the faculty knows: just about as much as they do.
