A CHRIST WILL RESPOND “The word ‘salvation’ is one frequently cohnected with religion,” said the Right Reverend Wilson R. Stearly, Bishop Goadjutor of New Jersey, speaking in ‘Chapel on Sunday, February 6. “‘Sal- vation’ has meant many different things throughout the ages, but now it has come to mean to us chiefly ‘renunciation’ ‘meditatian’.” The Bishop explained that once a de- scription of emotional religious experience was a prerequisite to joining the church. -In the Age-of the Refor- mation knowledge of religion “and the Bible. became the measure and the vari- ous “Confessions of Faith,” ending in the thirty-nine Articles, were the result. Then there is the Abou ben Adem sort of feeling, which puts philanthropy at the top. Two Methods of Salvation. “It seems at present,” the Bishop con- tinued, “that there are two important ways in which a person can be saved. The first of these is by Renunciation. The old reformers who wrote the Cate- chism thought it was necessary for us to ‘renounce the devil and all his works, the pomps and vanities of this wicked world, and all the sinful lusts of the flesh’ They realized that renunciation is necessary for us, for two reasons. First, we must learn to choose between the elevating and degrading influences ' that surround us in the world, and sec- ond, the character of a man’s own per- sonality is a quality to be reckoned with.” The second prerequisite for salvation is the mystic quality of meditation. @he mass of people are strangers to medita- CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 SOCIETY AND SHAW TO BE DISCUSSED HERE FRIDAY Elizabeth Drew, English Lecturer, Is Specialist in Literature of Gossip. “Society and, Mr. George Bernard Shaw” will be the subject on which Miss Elizabeth A. Drew, English lecturer, will speak under the auspices of the Speak- ers’ Bureau of the Undergraduate Asso- ciation in Taylor, on Friday, February 11, at 7.30. Miss - Drew, most of the United States in this tour, is a specialist on English writers, past and present, and particularly on ‘the lit-| erature of gossip. A graduate of Lady Margaret Hall, at Oxford, she has lec- tured in English literature at Cambridge for three years, and then was head of. the Women’s Staff of the Department of Education of the British army on the Rhine. She has written one book, The Modern Novel, and has been a contribu-} tor to many ‘magazines, among them The Atlantic Monthly, The New Statesman, and The Westminster Gasette. * FUND FOR WHITTIER Bust of Poet to Be Placed in Hall of Fame. Mr. Robert Underwood Johnson, Director, New York University Hall of Fame, whose office is at 26 East Fifty- fifth street, New York City, is making the Society of Friends for the bust of ‘Whittier in the Hall of Fame. He hopes that he may be able to'get the usual $3000 needed in“time to have the com- mission executed by the fifth of May, the date of the next ceremonies. He asks that it be announced that con- tributions for this purpose are being ~ made.

To avoid mistinderstanding; the Bryrf] Mawr Art Club wishes to announce the purpose -of its present campaign. We are raising a fund to help support art classes; not to provide free instruction, but to make possible the existence of a course in drawing and painting. Stu- dents will continue to pay fees; how- ever they cannot. continue to pay all expenses. The fees of the members of the Extra- curriculum Practical “Art Class will sup- plement the $2000 which will be the income from $40,000, the sum to be raised by the campaign. After this ob- jective has been reached, we shall con- ‘inue to enlarge the fund for the purpose of establishing a class in ‘the technique of the Old Masters.” » Conducted by the History of Art Department, this would be comparable to courses in the Music Department on theory and, harmony. Another $46:000-svould-have to be added to the fund to provide the income for this class.. The chief, purpose of the Art Club is to raise this fund and to share in the management of the Extra- curriculum Practical Art Class. We realize thaf‘ ‘it is no easy task to raise $80,000. The need for, «art has arisen among undergraduates. Our ap- ative art of importance as a part of college life. MOTORING AFTER DARK APPROVED BY STUDENTS Self-Government States Views Chaperonage. The chaperonage questions were dis- cussed in the. Self- es, meeting held January 12, and a commi elected to frame the new rules peaniting on ng. This committee has been working over the resolutions, and in discussions by itself, and with Miss Park, has changed some of the ideas; it will prob- ably have the resolutions ready to pre- sent to the association next Wednesday. The association decided that the rules for closing the halls, and for spending nights away from college should remain the same. A slight change was made in the rule about leaving campus after dark ; two students may go to the theatre or the village unaccompanied. Whether men‘ should be entertained in students’ rooms unchaperoned brought up some interesting questions, such as “is is the distinction between brothers and cousins?” After some discussion, a sense of the meeting was taken that men should be admitted to students’ rooms on Sun- days only, from two to six. Motoring after dark waS"a question that aroused much interest. It was finally to and from a definite destination, if the student has signed out fully beforehand. The decision as regards obtaining spe- cial permission for formal and informal engagements in the evening was left to the committee. M. L. Jones, presiding, reminded the meeting that all. changes are subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees before they can be put into effect. The committee consists of nine mem- bers, two from each elass, as follows: 1927, C. Chambers G. Hayes; 1928, J. Stetson C. Field; 4929; A. Dalziel B. ‘Humphriés ; 1930,-E. Bigelow C. Howe.

Pansies Are Profitable. Money is raised for scholarships by Alumnae in many different ways. Among the most interesting have been mono- logues given by Cornelia Otis Skinner, an Easter pansy sale in Chestnut Hill, which netted over $500, and two lectures on Dreadful Youth. and Is Woman a Failure?, given in Chicago by Professor J..W. Linn (father of E. H. Linn, 1929, present holder of a-regional scholarship) which brought in over $1200. , Applications for scholarships are con- stantly increasing in number. Most dis- tricts have them for as far ahead as 1929-30, The geographical distribution is very wide; -there-are, for example, two from California, seven from New Eng- land, six from St. Louis, two from Chi- cago, six from,Baltimore, one from South Carolina.

The nearest we can come to understanding God is by studying the life of Jesus, which is the divinest object known to us. Our idea of God as a Christ-like being and the power that is behind the universe we get from generations of thinking and religious men.

New York State chairman for it. Besides her activities prominent in New York, as president. of the Consumers’ League. She died in March, 1926. Her. gift, which came: as a ’ complete surprise to the college, is the second large bequest that the college has received from its alumnae. The first was the Carola Woerishoffer Endowment of $750,000, Graduate Department of Social Econ- omy. Mrs, Jackson made no restrictions as to the use of her money. Goodhart Hall Fund Increased. A second bequest to the college was announced in the Public Ledger Febru- ary 2. e “Bryn Mawr College receives $25,000 under the will of Miss Rosie Bernheimer, of New York, who died January 5, leaving an estate in excess of $100,000. The will, filed for probate yesterday, directs that the legacy be devoted to the Marjorie Walter Goodhart Memorial Fund. Mrs. Goodhart, an alumna of the col- lege, died in 1920, The Marjorie Wal- ter_Goodhart-Memorial_ Hall, now_being erected’ at Bryn Mawr, followed a gift of $100,000 from her husband, who also founded a chair of history in his wife’s memory.

Some Good Advice.

Gibbs family by marriage only, being the wife of A: Hamilton Gibbs, author of Soundings and Labels. She, seems however to have caught the idea that all the Gibbses have—that* they have a message to put before the world. In. Portia Marries, Mrs. Gibbs - has used the theme of what happens when in other words—successfully pursues # career, in this ease, that of law, and has a family as well. We are%iven glimpses of Jane Thorn- dike in early youth to show that” she has always been a strong personality and a leader. The main body of the story first child; but the curtain is drawn for a brief moment that we may see, how this plan affects her children when they are of college age. The contrast is provided by Jane’s sister, Mary, who is a homebody. — She marries early, has much family and not much—money, The argument is that if she had followed a. vocation she would be able to add to the family income sufficient to pay for trained-care for her children and avoid wearing herself out doing things—that-she—was—not—very—well fitted to do anyhoy Jane, of course, is fortunate in falling in love with a man who promises never to be jealous of her job—a promise for- gotten for only a fleeting moment. Most of the time Tommy Kent is too proud of Jane and too sensible to be upset by having a wife who is different from the ‘conventional idea of what a wife should be—somebody, to lay “out” your slippers in the evening and otherwise keep you comfortable. The idea is an interesting one, not so strange now that many women are doing just. this, though not usually so success- fully as Jane. The effect on all the people with whom Jane comes in con- tact is shown, on her law partner, the various members of her family, her doc- tor, her friend, and on her husband, who while his-problem is not so great, has a problem just the same. Even thotigh so many angles of the picture are exhibited, we are left with the feeling that Portia Marries is nothing more than a sketch, and that “things wouldn’t be so easy in real life.” -The book reads easily. It is almost free from jerks, and the machinery does not stick out too plainly. All in all, Portia Marries provides excellent enter- tainment on a theme that bears thinking over. His Own Life Story. Con- Published Bill Nye, tinuity by Frank Wilson Nye. by Century Co. This quasi-autobiography of the out- standing American humorist of the last two decades of the Nineteenth Century is valuable for two reasons. It is a com- prehensive characterization of Bill Nye and secondly an illuminating delineation of that period of accelerated transition in American history It is a compilation of the writings of Bill Nye which reveal the author’s life and personality—chiefly correspondence —supplemented by letters and articles of his associates and arranged in chrono- logical order by his son, Frank Wilson Nye. Wherever necessary; Mr. Fraftk Nye has supplied explanations and com- ments, but most of these are of the utmost brevity so that the book is writ- ten almost entirely by Bill Nye’s own pen. This large collection of necessarily diverse material has been threaded to- gether so cleverly that actual homo- geneity and unity has resulted.

The fact that he was scarcely more than seven years old when his father died has made him an objective, though a no less sympa- thetic interpreter of Bill Nye. ‘Phe work is very comprehensive, covering the from the place’ of his birth in Shirley, Maine, where, to use his own words, he “first met his parents,” to his “shatto” at Ashe- ville, North Carolina, where he ‘died, scarcely over fort years old.

But the out- standing feature is that Bill Nye is a representative American of his age and that his humor, like his character and background, essentially Yankee.

Green Forest, by Nathalie Sedgwick Colby. Harcourt, Brace and Co, Green Forest is a story told throtigh the medium of a vivid imagination—that of the heroine, Shirley. The story lasts only as long as her.trip across the Atlan- tic, during which she occupies her imagi- nation with endless combinations of memories and anticipations. Thus the author has made a psychological study of this character, assuming, and rightly that the effect of external events is often felt not so much at the moment they take place as before or after. Dur- ing the voyage Shirley is not the pro- tagonist but rather the passive spectator: it is her daughter Suzette who. acts. Shirley waits, yearns, philosophises. The reader never tires of watching her mind because he has too keen a picture of its workings before him, There is no translation from the’ intimate language of thought and. mental impressions into the language of every-day life; we fol- low as ‘closely as possible in our reading the thread of Shirley’s preoccupations. Having ‘suffered herself, she is highly sensitive to the sufferings of others. In contrast, her daughter has never known what unhappiness is, and her greatest so, HENRY B.

M. V. Philip and the Faun, by William Bowen. Moralizing in a book, even though hidden by pretty images, is one ofpthe greatést horrors of literature. ff is, therefore, a pity that there should be places’ in “Philip and the E un” where the author. acts suspicious! as though he were pointing a moral. Not that he is obvious about it, nor does he, fortun- ately,’ go into long abstractions on the subject.. But none the less, there are incidents, such as that of the newsboy, Ww hen the suspicion looms large. Aside from this fault, however, and there are some by whom even this will not be accounted a fault, the book is quite charming and foolish. In an era of -writers, who although all they have to say could be said in one paragraph, produce instead, from two to three hun- dred pages of drivel. It is a distinct relief to find a man who has a short story to tell and tells it briefly. For although Mr. Bowen takes his young hero from a camp in the forests of Cali- fornia, to the last retreat of the gods of Greece and Rome, and thente half around the world and back, he does it in one small book that can be read in an evening, even:as Philip experienced all his adventures in an afternoon, One episode which illustrates particu- larly well the adroitness and delicacy with which Mr. Bowen can handle a story, occurs during Philip’s * travels abroad. He is accompanied by the Faun and by Arethusa, neither of whom can be seen- by ordinary mortals, and they are searching for two more. people, gifted like Philip with the ability to see the gods. “The incident: mentioned is: the end of their search when they come upon the poet, waiting for them on a park bench, who takes them+to the house of the little Chinese girl. ‘There their searching finally ends when Philip, the | poet and the girl, the three mor fits gifted with the desired. sight, each gives a drop of blood for the formula which js to bring Pan back to life. is given in remarkably few words, but in such a way that the imagination of the reader. is stirred to invent embellish- ments and stories within the story, at which the author only hints. P This- is perhaps the most delightful thing about Mt. Bowen’s book. Far although it keeps strictly to the story in hand, it is written in such a way that the reader’s mind jn intrigued by an infinite number of possibilities and sug- gestions, which a person with any imagination will find altogether delight- ful. And his cleverness in handling these suggestions, and inserting them, more than anything’ else, marks Mr. Bowen as a good writer. a RK. W. L.

What « might be considered a stain even for a genius, to be homme d'amour, is washed away in the light. of the burning sincerity with which he earned himself this*epithet. The pre- tense to the persistence of a union that had exhausted itself spiritually was never kept up simply through the inertia, of habit and propinquity. Lisztyavoided tle mire of surfeit and with his deep k.ndness of heart-was able always to preserve the sharers of his happiness from an aftermath of cruel regret, So the story of true passion. writes ‘itself detached to a remarkab‘e degree from remorse and censure alike. ‘le In addition to Liszt’s social conquests his life holds a succession brilliant triumphs as a virtuoso, as a composer, glories which belong to the world, but which he balanced with the - “ardent and mysterious emotion, which, like a sacred stigmata, has transpierced my entire life. Yes, Jesus Christ crucified, the madness and the elevation of the cross, this was* my true vocation.” These words are from Liszt’s “testa- ment. His work has disproved them. In his later years, his ‘assumption of the “Abbe’s Cassock,” his conscientious praying and his devotion church music partly assuaged. his mystic yearn- ing, but it was impossible for him to renounce the wédrld as completely as he would have wished. To the last, he composed secular as’ well as religious music, travelled, read, and enjoyed. a glass of cognac with his friends. ‘Though he may not have realized it, it would have been against his nature to abandon soul and body to the seclusion of religious -exaltation of which he kept dreaming. No doubt the dream was the more wonderful because it was never fulfilled. Yet he was always doing good in more practical ways. of to. The one great, but, as it was, inevitable sacrifice he was called upon to make was his work for Wagner's operas in the face. of the latter’s growing greatness. Since the day that Wagner had first appealed for help and shown him his ‘early attempts in the new form the younger composer was to develop, Liszt. had to anticipate eclipse of his own work, that of an older man who had so long swayed the musical intelligentsia of Europe, by this exerimentalist whose dar- ing originality was carried so much fur- ther. Liszt's music suffers today in thé way of lacking the wide appreciation it deserves because of its tremendous in- tellectua! quality. Liszt’s geniws could neyer resist the challenge of the impos- sible, and his’ work requires greater study and depth to be enjoyed than the } more direct and popular music of Wag- nef. Bs Liszt displayed _ his unintentionally spectacular generosity in other ways be- sides his endless efforts in behalf of his beloved rival. He gave many concerts for Pharity; he rejoiced, once in his old age, to find that he had been robbed, so anxious was he that others. should have benefit of his earthly possession; he showed a princely courtesy to Berlioz, who had behaved in a sour and ungrate- ful fashion to him.

SILK HATS AND SNOBS One of the questions which always interest Americans in England is; “What is the value of a pudjic school educa- tign?” If Lords, that celebrated assem- bly of the public school class, serves no other purpose, it yet deserves to live be- cause it answers. this question beyond further shadow of doubt. A public school education is designed to teach the capitalist classes not to feel foolish in that symbol of their superiority—the silk For the silk hat is unquestionably. the keynote of Lords. Uneasy is the head that wears one, for the are about as ap- propriate to the usual weather at Lords as the busbies of the Guards; but un- easier yet is the head that does not wear one. “Class-conscious solidarity” reach- es its most dizzy height in the silk hat, and one sees at Lords that England ‘is divided as ever,-despite labor, into those who wear and those who do not. One cannot sufficiently impress upon Ameri- cans. the importance of the silk hat; let them beware of scoffing at what seems merely the crowning absurdity to an ab- surd costume, It is natural enough for them to think it ridiculous, for America does not know the: silk hat—it is as rare there as licensed bars. No one, except doormen at hotels, can muster the neces- sary dignity, and they, therefore, are the only wearers. But in England its. sig- nificance, political. and. social, is over- THE .
