King Gives Shakespearean Recital |’ Traditional Gestures and Pure Speech Assist Interpree tation IN “WITCHES” CLIMAX John Drinkwater once said that statesmen and politicians should read a little Shakespeare every day. With May Day so near, this is equally good advice for Bryn Mawr, and it: was with this in mind that we heard a Shakespeare recital by Mr. Samuel Ar- thur King last Tuesday night. Mr. ling reminded us that the full effect ° of Shakespeare’s blank verse-can only~ be attained by giving due recognition to its construction. In reciting the ten-syllable lines, accented on the sec- ond, fourth, sixth, eighth and tenth syllables, one must keep the “impres- sion of alternate accents,’ and one must not overlook the legato effect where certain consonants are slurred over to the next word. Legato was used in Mr. King’s first selection— Buckingham’s Farewell from “Henry VIII,” the speech which made Forbes- Robertson famous—and its. impres- siveness is helped by the extra sylla- ble at the end of a line being an emphatic monosyllable. “The second piece was the descrip- tion of Queen Mab from “Romeo and Juliet,” an example of the traditional rendering of description handed down from the days of Kemball to Walter Lacey, the effect lying in the onomat- apoeia.- For all those who, tired of the old manner of presentation, are ever trying to start innovation in the acting of Shakespeare, Southern once said that true art is premeditated. “It does not do to despise tradition,” and this is “worthy of contemplation even by born actors.” Mr. King then recited Clarence’s dream from “Rich- ard III.” The dream is told to evoke horror, and in order that -the voice may achieve this there are great “numbers of vocal consonants upon which the voice may linger. From “As You Like It’ Mr. King did the seven ages of man, a speech which’ has inspired illustrators of all years. The scene of the witches from “Mac- beth” followed—the most interesting piece on the program, because Mr. King’s vibration and high pitch of voice gave it all the eeriness of su- pernatural beings. Shakespeare. prob- ably wrote this with full conscious- ness of its sound effects, for in’ the first grammar, written by Ben Jon- son in 1584 and now in the British Museum, is found a chapter on the (Continued on Page Five) Calendar Sun., March 6—7.30 P.

Dr. Schumann, who is Professor of: Music at the University of: Pennsyl- vania, was introduced by Miss -Petts. To us, he said, the music of the Near- and Far-East seems strange, far away from our mentality, from our :emotions and our expression of them. The Oriental musician does not, as we do, hear sounds in their vertical connection; he hears only | horizontally in a melodic line. Even when: two melodies. are combined, there is no accidental chagd structure as in the polyphonic music of Bach and Palestrina. What interests the Oriental are the tone values in them- selves, not. the intervals, or what is between. the tones. Emotionally, F sharp is always the same, although by pushing higher or lower its treat- ment is varied. Thus, if there is “oneness” in the harmonic sense, the opposite is true in-the dynamic sense. It is natural that in a musical sys- tem whose basis is the pentatonic scale, the instruments will be far sim- pler than those required by a system such a8 ours, which adds chromatic to diatonic usage. As a matter of fact, most of the instruments now used in the East have had their pres- ; ent character for some.3000 years. But, as Dr. Schumann illustrated by means of records, there is a great variety within Oriental music; < its strangeness augments as we progress East. Egyptian music, for example, with its minor melody, though chief- be heard in Spain and Southern Italy. The Dervish song, used for religious dancing, is perhaps the best illustra- tion of the mentality of Islam as a whole; the soloist and chorus—the latter repeat continually—quicken the tempo of the monotone as the dance progresses, until it culminates with | the dancer foaming at the mouth, and falling to the ground in a faint.

COLLEGES Dr. Lake in. an interview with a reporter from. the NEWS last week sketched briefly his personal history. To those who knew his daughter, Nan Lake, Bryn Mawr, 1930, and graduate student here last year, it may be a surprise to learn that Dr. Lake is a European by birth and education. His first visit to America was his trip to Harvard University, where he has been teaching ever since. He was prepared at St. Paul’s School in England, founded in the year 1509 by John Cabot, for the encouragement of the study of Greek._Dr,_Lake-ad- mitted having followed in the foot- steps of the founder in this respect. He matriculated to Lincoln College, éxford, where he remained seven years after his graduation, acting as curate in the University Chapel, and assistant in the Bodleian Library, lec- turing all the time on the New Festa- ment.in the- University. For at the University of Leiden, a co- educational institution from which Dr. Lake drew many of his obsérva- tions on educational methods. He came directly from Leidén to Har- vard, and here, as he says, he is. In answer to our questions Dr. Lake outlined his principal works; the most important group in his estimation, is that of editing of old manuscripts, of which the most important is the | “Codex Siniaticus.” +Books on the New ‘Testament imelude one on ' “Acts,” one on the story of the resur- rection, and one on the epistles of Saint Paul, which is of course close- ly related ‘to his lectures here. His works on theology in general are,led by a volume entitled “Religion Yes- terday and Tomorrow.” He and Dr. Cadbury, ef-our own faculty, are now collaborating on an edition of the “Acts,” of which the last volume is being finished, and are publishing with Blake, of Harvard, and Mrs. R. W. New, a collection of essays on the New Testament. Having finished the more formal necessary parts of the interview, we went on to-question Dr. Lake about Bryn Mawr and his impression of it. He is singularly well fitted -to,:.ob- serve the college, having been both a Bryn Mawr lecturer and a_ Bryn We were flattered when he compared the Bryn Mawr audience favorably with Harvard’s. “If you know stupidity, you must lec- ture before a Women’s Club.” He went on to make the startling state- ment. that there is, in his opinion, not a stupid person in Bryn Mawr.

The Dr. Lake Traces New __ Testament’s Evolution i Revised Version in Modern Use is Reconstructed Synthesis of Many Early Texts TELLS OF NEW WORK (Specially. Contributed in News Competition) On Monday evening Dr. Lake gave the first half of his lecture on the study of the text of the New Testa- ment. His theme was the. evolution of the text which we now use. The earliest English translation of which we know, a Vulgate, is that of -Wyclif. The Vulgate is a revi- sion of the New Testament made at the end of the fourth century by St. Jerome. Although we do not actual- ly. possess a Jerome text, we have a group_of manuscripts.so—close_to his style that we can easily reconstruct from them the original, which was very corrupt because it had passed through a long period of deteriora- tion. ied The first abbot of St: Paul’s mon- astery, built by Bénedict Biscop, and a centre of learning as well as of piety, presented a copy of the New Testament to the Pope. At first thought to be written by an English- man, it. was later proved by an analy- sis of the printing to have been writ- ten by .an Italian. In the 9th cen- tury a partly erased note from this text. was deciphered, revealing that the text had been copied from a man- uscript traced baek to .Naples and Capua. The Pope gave away many of his manuscripts, one of which, the “Acts of the Apostles,’ written in Sardinia and located in Northumber- land and Wurzburg, was used by the “Venerable” Bede and Bishop Laud, (Continued on Page Two) February Lantern Review Given by Miss Buchanan _ The February issue of The Lantern opens with an editorial thaf states preserving literature in an economic depression. . But, since the proof of the necessity for literature has much in common with the ideals of a college, there seems to be little need for the state- ment. of the problem on the Bryn Mawr campus... ,The defiant tone of the editorial leads one to suspect that Lantern ‘has reached its period of depression and that it is pleading its cause in-rather sweeping terms. I’ortunately the contents show little cause for melancholy on the part of the editors. They have choseh one sort of thing that undergraduates can do, and the knowledge of limitation makes for more finished work,; ‘The poetry lacks the completeness of the prose. Miss Perkins’ “Scholar” will not bear the pitiless light of experi- ence, since it is the delight of the scholar that- his sticks and stones somehow fit together in the end. “Void,” by Miss Grant, is not unified enough to achieve the #orm_ that places art beyond the immediate emo- tion. Of Miss Burnett’s two poems “Doubt” is the best. In spite of, its commonplace note, it has a certain simplicity and-concreteness lacking in the more complicated ‘Theophany.” The latter- poem shows mastery of technique, but the double conception is not fused into a whole, and the dramatic contrast’’in the specific statement at the end serves only to disintegrate the sonnet. The sketches in The Lantern have more form than the .poems, and through concrete de- tails they imply rather than state conclusions . The note of unreality in Miss Reinhardt’s “Through the Gate of Horn” is achieved by the use of light, shadow and solid color in con- trast. Its three episodes form a deli- cate harmony unified by the central figure of the woman. Only through the reactions of the two characters to the external world can-one see the death of love between them.

As Easter vacation draws nearer we cannot help considering the amount of work to be done in the next three weeks. For most of us the prospect is terrifying. On the recommendation of the administration, all reports ‘are to be finished before Easter, and all scheduled quizzes are included in the pre-Easter period. This means for most of us four quizzes and at least two reports. Last semester's Thanksgiving-to-Christmas period, dedicated entirely to reports, is only a pleasant memory. ~~~ ' We understand the necessity for having extra time after Easter to work for May Day.

Dr. om Traces New Testament’s Evolution (Continued from Page , One) and now resides at Oxford. By means of this manuscript, reconstruction is now being done by the Benedictines in Rome. The original text has been changed twice, onee by Sixtus V in 1590, whose translation the College of Cardinals refused to ratify. Jerome, in reconstructing his text, had cértain things on which to go. His three main manuscripts were the current Latin text of-the 5th century, “whith added to the interest of the revision but not to its clearness, and which was the ‘basis of his version; _ older Latin vefsions made in Africa; and the regtlar Greek text of the day. Jereme took them, compared them, and produced “the most beau- tiful monument of late Latin,” the - Vulgate. The history of the Greek text begins with the Reformation, when Erasmus first began to print Greek texts, all of which were after- ward rewritten. From all these num- erous copies, up to the 19th century, we have had only one, the “Textus Receptus,” which is that of Erasmus with a few variations. Bentley, the great English classic- ist, helped to arouse the iriterest of the people, and a generation arose which went out to look for new man- uscripts. three thousand, from which we can reconstruct and trace those very steps by which our text became the Revised -_ Version. ‘From | the beginning, how- ‘ever, ‘it was obvious that the oldest 8 ~-manuseripts: differed in text from that of Erasmus.

Englishmen: Wescott, the philoso- pher of the group; Halt, the pure scholar, and Lightfoot, the historian. They analyzed the Codex and con- cluded from it that both it and the Fextus Receptus were a combination of earlier texts and the Western Text. _ At the énd of the last century, two active English ladies, Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Lewis, found a Syriac: manu- scriptand* discovered that it con- sisted of two texts, one written over the erasure of another. They photo- graphed some of the pages and brought them to Oxford, where the form was found to be even older than that of the text in the British Mus- eum, ~ At the end of the lecture, Dr. Lake gave a summary of his own work on reconstruction. In his first text of the New Testament, he stated that a certain group of manuscripts might be Caesarean, but, urable to prove his theory, he finally dropped the idea. A manuscript found some months lat- er at Tiflis, Georgia, confirmed the supposition. This Georgian version was worked on by him in collabora- tion with Blake and Streeter, and the result was a treatise on the Caesar- ean text. On November 19, 1981, Sir Frederick Kenyon announced that ‘a papyrus of the 3rd century, contain- ing a Caesarean text of the Gospel of St. Mark, has been found. ’ “We are planning now,” concluded Dr. Lake, “a reconstruction, of the very earliest text from a comparison of grouped manuscripts: the Caesarean, a t privacy of the wee small hours.

K. Ratcliffe Upholds British “Evolution vs. Revolution” Government in India The subject of the Foreign Policy luncheon on last Saturday was “In- dia, Evolution Versus Revolution;” _ and the two speakers were Mr. S. K. Ratcliffe, former editor of the States- man and now editorial writer of the New Statesman in London, and Mr. Haridas T. Muzumdar, author of “Gandhi the Apostle,” “India’s Non- Violent Revolution,” and “Men Ver- sus Machine Guns.” India would be ready to receive Do- minion Status or whether she was not already prepared for her full free- dom. ; The first speaker, Mr. Ratcliffe, be- gan by saying that he was “too old to begin by defending the British Im- perialist system.” Ten years ago the Government of India Act had provided a new co- operation between India and the Brit- ish Government. This was _unsatis- factory and that meant an advance toward: the provincial autonomy of 1927, a revision of the act. In 1917 Montague said that full self-govern- merit was a goal obtained through autonomy and in 1929, the viceroy, Lord Irwiny made a supplementary statement. that India was working for “Dominion Status, the scheme and idea of which received great support. If Lord Irwin’s declaration had been reaffirmed in England it would have been a great:gtep toward the solu- tion of the problem, bringing India within the scope of a new co-opera- tion, but. this clear interpretation in the home country was not possible. Thus the widespread civil disobedi- ence and the cause of the two round table conferences--arose. The outcome of the first conference was to unify the demands of all the parties of India for self-government. It showed the readiness of the groups and Indian princes who rule under the old paternal system to come under the federal system. The second round’ table conference was not so promi- nent because of the confused state of the British politics at the time. The second round table conference did, however, bring to light two ques- tions: Firstly, If the authority of . a responsible government was trans- ferred to India ‘what would be the basis for the new financial system, and second, Had India faced the ques- tion of the defense of the country when responsibility should be in their own hands? At this conference Gan- dhi said that he was convinced that England had no idea of transferring the army and finance to India, and since then’ the Indian National Gov- ernment has never really faced. these two problems. At the second confer- ence the Moslems, the 80 million mi- nority, said through their delegates that they would accept no terms of settlement that would not give them protection from the Hindus. Second- ly, because of the Gandhi leadership the depressed classes were inadequate- ly represented at the conference, Gandhi said that these classes belong to the Hindu world, although they are disinherited religiously and so- cially and that it will not raise them to treat them as a minority instead of as the part of the class, to which ph i belong. Mr. Muzumdar opened his discus- sion by congratulating Mr. Ratcliffe and saying that his statement was quite unsatisfactory. The difficulties arose from the personnel of the round table conferences. The delegates from India were all appointed by the British Government to “take part in the vaudeville show in St. James’ Palace.” The Indian Nationalist party, according to Mr. Muzumdar, ‘has the loyalty of all the nations of India. Two forces were ‘ca for the failure of the second round table con« ference: first, the English press, and second, the common Englishman who. believed that one-fifth of his income was bound up in India. It is the aim of the Indian revolution to accom- plish: unity among all, riddance of untouchability, discouragement of li- quor and opium trade, home indus- tries and the participation of women in the emancipation. The discussion | seemed to be a question of how soon Catherine Rieser Stars at Hedgerow Theatre It is certain that no one can ever accuse the Hedgerow Theatre group in Rose Valley of being in the dilet- tante class in the matter of play pro- duction. Most “little theatre” groups are well satisfied if they do a half- dozen plays a season; twelve is con- sidered a momentous undertaking. Yet Saturday night the. Hedgerow Players presented their thirty-eighth show of their season (which they date from April 6, 1931, to April 6, 1932) and their thirteenth brand-new show. If that isn’t an accomplish. ment suggesting industry, ambition and a willing spirit, we would like to know what is. Their most recent offering was. St. John Ervine’s “The Ship,” written about twelve years ago and produced in England, but never, as far as we can find out, in this country. It is one of Mr. Ervine’s more serious ef- forts and reflects, incidentally, Eng- land’s post-war bitterness. -Dramat- ically it falls a good way behind “John Ferguson,” easily the best of the author’s plays, and the aforemen- tioned note of bitterness detracts somewhat from its artistic balance, but even at that “The Ship” manages to be-eonsiderably —better-than-two= thirds of our contemporary theatrical output. The play’s greatest asset is a pow- erful and moving last act—an act that works havoc with the emotions and leaves the auditors limp as the final curtain falls. This act’s merits atone to a considerable extent for the talkiness of the first act and the irrelevancies of the. second. The principal characters are old people; that may account for the fact that it has never been produced here professionally. It concerns a promi- nent shipbuilder in an English sea- coast town whose whole life centers in his beloved plant and in the boats that it turns out. Accordingly, it amounts to tragedy when his only son declares in heated and forceful terms as antipathetic toward ma- chinery and commerée and expresses the desire to get back to the soil. He refuses to work “at the yard” and chooses to buy a. small farm instead, aided by a financial contribution from his elderly grandmother, who under- stands his feelings. The father does everptiiing in his power ‘to ruin this agricultural scheme; he stoops so low as to try to bribe the boys’ partner to “throw him down” deliberately. Failing in this, he finally prevails on his son to leave his farm for a few weeks in order to make the maiden voyage on the firm’s newest and finest ship, his plea being based on his own bad health and his doctor’s refusal to let him go. The steamer strikes an iceberg and goes to the bottom, the son being one of its many victims. The ship-own- er’s pretentious and dominating house of cards comes tumbling*down. He has lost his two dearest possessions— his boy ‘and the steamship Magnifi- cent. His pride and his arrogance are. cast down. in the dust and -hé is’ even- considering suicide, when his mother, cool and level-headed auto- crat of the househeld, gives him wis- er counsel. He-is to become a grand- father in the near future, and it is the advise of this wise matriarch ,of the Thurlow family that he “carry on” the famous shipbuilding firm so that he can hand it down to future generations. * * * The best scenes are those between Thurlow and his mother; in fact, the character of the latter really domi- nates the action. She is played by Catherine Rieser (Ex-’31, Bryn Mawr College) and well played,too, al- |] ~ though Miss Rieser is obviously far too young to assume such a role. There are times when the thin, high voice of age which she assumes is in- elined to artificiality, but her sincer- ity and her splendid pantomimic skill overcome these minor handicaps. Al McGranary, as Thurlow, is also excellent, especially in the later scenes. Ferd Nofer gives a good ac- count of himself as the son’s farming partner in the second act. The role of the boy, difficult and not always sympathetic, is only fairly well filled by Alfred Rowé. — Not a great play, “The Ship” is decidedly worth while. .

Malcolm E. Peabody, of Chestnut Hill, speak- ing in Chapel, February 28. As the basis for an informal discussion after the service he gave a short talk on “How Religion Works.” The interesting fact about Chris- tianity, he pointed out, is that al- though in the past its church has of- ten overemphasized one aspect of re- ligion at the expense of others, it has always shown its ability to return to a proper balance. Today, we are weakest in cultus, and show an un- willingness to recognize worship as the necessary inspiration for a Chris- tian code of conduct. In remedying this defect, we should use the experi- ence of nineteen centuries of Chris- tianity as the basis of reform. The savage, desiring to do some- thing for the superior power of which he knows nothing, sets aside holy places to which he brings sacrifices. Gradually however, (as in the history of Israel), iricreased knowledge of God_-results—in—-the-substitution—of—a pure heart for the sacrifice of mate- rial treasure, and a code of conduct is developed reflecting the conception of God.

In America, the Puritan God of aside, but the Puritan code of con- duct persisted unchallenged until af- ter the war, when an unsuccessful at- tack first on creed, then on conduct, resulted only in .a cleaner under- standing of the necessity for. worship and prayer. The discussion in the Common Room afterward revolved around the question—“How do you learn to pray?” Dr. Peabody answered ques- | tions on the subject, and then offered | his system, which he uses in confir- | mation classes and for himself.

Indian music, on the other hand, is very chro- matic and has great variety of rhythm. Tremendous skill is requir- ed by the singers, who pass their knowledge down secretly to each suc- cessive generation. We now come to China, and in her we find the mother of music. There it was that music first became an art. While we, just before the time of Bach, were struggling to produce a tempered scale, China had made the discovery some 2000 years before Christ; there is on record the order of an emperor to stop the use of hun- dredth octaves, and return to simple pentatonic music for the sake of tra- dition. ‘Today Chinese music is de- cadent, but we can still see its orig- inal simplicity; there are no leading- notes, and the ratio. 3 is the only one used. The center-tone to which the- melody always returns is what provides a great deal of the strange- ness to our ears, which are accus- tomed to cadences. In the “Mikado” and in the transfiguration motif of Strauss’ “Tod und Verklarung” we }have an example of center-tone. Thus Chinese music is balanced iin itself; any record may be played back- wards! Gongs play a large part in this music. It is also interesting to note that the songs are intermixed with dramatic speaking, and that the two sexes are never combined in one piece. Modern Chinese drama is very emo- tional and dynamic. The Japanese, although they have received their culture from China through Korea, have changed the pen- tatonic system of music by the addi- tion of half-tones leading “down- ward.

The instru- ments are of metal, with bamboo res- onators. Especially interesting is the dance music, which is sung by four choruses, two older and two younger, who sit facing each other and sway to the music, Which ever-increases in tempo. And so, concluded Dr. Schu- mafii, we see that if in some ways Oriental musie is more simple than ours, in others it is far more com- plex.

Jackson) Last Saturday saw both basketball teams again victorious as they played their fifth games of the season. With only three more games to go, we hope they will keep up their good playing. Playing the Buccaneers’ first team, Varsity showed the cleanesé and fast- est game of the year, winning 59-32. Collier and Boyd worked well to- gether, getting in under the basket without too many little passes. Boyd was consistently good, putting in nearly every try she made. ~She seems this year to be able to shoot from practically anywhere and is therefore a hard person to guard. Al- though Collier did not seem to get shooting until the second half, her passes during the first two ‘periods were so well placed that Boyd was able to convert them all to scores. Goming-back-to-fornr in the last part of the game, Collier ran up 20 points while Boyd was making 15, and thus they pulled Varsity far into the lead. Longacre and Remington, ‘in. the ‘center, were kept very busy, and both played.a good game. They do not seem to’ have as much teamwork as the others. Longacre has a tendency to bounce the ball, even when Rem- ington is free, and, as she quite often} walks with the ball, it would seem a good idea for her to pass more. Aside from this, her playing Saturday was very good. Remington, given quite a bit of opposition by Paxson, was able to outplay her and kept feeding good passes to the:forwards. So far this year her deep passes to Collier under the basket have been working quite well, and if they continue to do so ‘the team will be assured of quite a few goals in every game. McCully was missing this week, but her place was ably filled by Bowditch, who has become much faster this year, and it is now almost impossible |, to get the ball past her, especially on drop passes. Moore showed her usual. good game. — The Buccaneers were represented by three of the All-American hockey team. Townsend and Cadbury, at forwards, made quite a few pretty shots. Once Miss Townsend got her eye in, she dropped in several from the farthest corners. Schoff and Pax- son, in the center, found the Long- ~ acre- Remington opposition rather strenuous, but they kept them mov- ing. Both Strebeigh and Church played nice games at guard. We hope the team will not let down, but will wind up the season with a clean slate. The next three games should be extremely good, and any- one who should chance to. see them will find them worth it. ‘So far the audiences have been just substitutes. It seems. time that the rest of the college turned out. _ Bryn Mawr Ist Buccaneers Ist ORE ii eias. forward. .... Cadbury Bova 3.4. forward.... Townsend Longacre ..jumpcenter......

NEWS = Paul Klee’s Paintings His Interpretation of Pictures Emphasizes a Symmetrical Balance of Form HUMOR. SOPHISTICATED Four paintings by Paul Klee~are now on exhibition in the Common Room. They were hung Tuesday af- ternoon when Mr. E. M. M. Warburg gave a short talk on their author, Paul Klee, a contemporary German painter. Klee was one of the leaders of the movement at the Bauhaus in Dessau, where modern German ‘paint- ing is taught. Mr. Warburg told of his visit to Klee’s home, where he found the artist playing a Bach vio- lin solo. Klee did. not greet the vis- itors until he had finished the selec- tion. His' love of music’ is manifest in his works, in which he plays Air and Variations with form in picto- graphic paintings. The American point of view, said Mr. Warburg, has always been, “Why not do this or that,” the “Try any- thing-once”-attitude; while the Euro- pean point of view is “Why?” The reverse is now true of these paint- ings. Herr/Klee has said, “Why not | paint a picture like the CAT AND BIRD, the SHEPHERD, the LAST SNOW, or the DEPARTURE OF SHIPS?” And we, looking at them without any attempt at understand- ing them, say, “Why paint these meaningless daubings?” This is why this modern artist does paint in this manner: an artist has line, color and mass with which to compose, and he builds up his composition from nature. He can paint either objects of nature or architecture. In the lat- ter type of painting he builds up his picture with forms into a kind‘ of facade. He weights his picture with symmetry, balancing its component parts obviously. As we always look at faces and hands to judge charac- ter, these most telling features are most frequently used—to—balance—a picture. This is one type of architec- tural painting. Another is the use of stylized patterns and decorative mo- tifs. A third is Klee’s type of paint- ing, the juxtaposition of ideas, with which. he -builds a mood. In the CAT AND_ BIRD, the bird is thought to be between the cat’s eyes, because the cat is looking at it. The fascination of a cat watching a bird is established here; the painting is symmetrical in design and amusing in color. Klee has a great sense for surface texture, and has done this in plaster. The SHEPHERD is com- posed of hieroglyphs like the port- manteau words in ALICE IN WON- DERLAND. in the verses, “Twas brillig and the slithey toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsey were the borogoves And the mome rathes outgrabe.” The ideas in the picture ‘are pulled together by form, and stay swell -in: the center of the canvas with no-dan- ger of their sliding off the canvas, or even out of balance. The LAST SNOW is less admirable in ideology, It is merely a balancing of form, color and texture in a frame like a less happy exaggeration of some of the paintings of Picasso. The DE- PARTURE OF SHIPS, which is own- ed by Mr. Warburg, is a delightful composition. It gives us pleasure be- cause’ it is built up of little forms which we recognize, and from this point we go on to embroider on the Haverford Pharmacy HENRY W. PRESS, P.

It is’ Romantic because it pulls us and demands a certain con- centration, as it is the mental _asso- ciations suggested by the forms of the painting which make it a com- pleted entity. Klee is a serious painter, but he has a sense of humor. He is very fond of cats and one day when one was walking on one of his drawings he would ‘not allow it to be shoved off. “In two hundred years,” he re- marked, “people will say, ‘How did he ever get that effect?’” His pic- tures are simple, but are executed with sophistication and are complete entities created with balance of form. In them he says what he means and They are not to be judged with the standards of Shakespeare, but with. those of ALICE IN WONDERLAND. If seen in this light without prejudices, there is much enjoyment to be derived from his paintings. CAROLINE F. BE RG. Bryn Mawr 675 JOHN J.

In re- ttaliation, the students attended a town meeting, where they introduced and passed two bills, proposing the build- ing of a wall around the town eight miles high and the construction of a city hall one “foot wide and a mile high. Hanoverians had to take the affair to Washington to get out of building the two structures, * * * Statistics reveal that sixty former college athletic heroes are now presi- dents of colleges and universities in the United States.
