Rare Book Room Displays Valuable Folios, Collection of Books From Old Aldine Press (Extract from Miss Terrien’s ar- | - ticle in the December “Alumnae Bulletin.” ) Valuable examples of the Aldine Press are now on display in the Rare Book Room. Five rare Greek folios have been presented to Bryn Mawr by Mrs. John Dozier Gordan (Phyllis Goodhart, 1935), and Mr. Howard L. Goodhart. The gifts, important in the history of 16th century typography, are examples of the editiones principes of Greek authors, which according to San- dys, make up almost one quarter of the output of the Aldine Press be- tween 1502 and 1516. They should provide a splendid nucleus for a 16th century collection. Our exhibition begins with the Julius Pollux which was printed and edited by the master printer and scholar in Venice in 1502. The clear black type set. between gen- erous margins makes a beautifully balanced page .and the _ spotless condition of the whole tome is at- ; tonishing when one considers that “Tis over-400+-years—old.--The ab- sence of the original covers is to be deplored but at the same time the gold-tooled levant binding, the work of C. Kalthoeber, is a delight. The Thucydides, also edited and Erratum The Nuts and Bolts in last »week’s NEWS was not written by Jessie Stone, but by Nan- ‘e cy Evarts. printed by Aldus in 1502, is bound in old calf and differs from the other gifts in having illuminated initials. The Rhetores Graeci of 1508 is an Aldine which has now become exceedingly rare. It be- longed at one time to the British Museum which has retained a du- plicate. The Hesychius, printed in 1514 and edited by Aldus and Mar- cus Musurus, was once the proper- ty of the Academy Library in Lei- den. It is bound in blind stamped vellum and has rough leaves throughout. Finally, there is the Deipnosophistae or Banquet of the Learned, of Athenaeus. Printed in 1514 and edited by Aldus and Mu- surus and bound in sprinkled calf, it has the most ingenious title page of all the volumes. It bears the author’s name in Latin and below: this is a short description of the work in Greek which is typograph- ically arranged in: the form of a goblet. In addition to the folios men- tioned above there are two owned by this library. The Theophrastus is the fourth volume of the famous five volume set of Aristoteles, which was printed by Aldus in 1495-98. It was given to Bryn Mawr by Mr. Wayne MacVeagh in November 1886. We do not own the other volumes of this set. An- other folio, the De Deo of Marcus '| Antonius Natta, has been given to us by Mr. Howard L. Gray.

Defense Group Formulates Aims for Victory and Peace Geology Lecture Room, Novem- ber 24.— The American Defense, Bryn Mawr College Group, ap- proved a new set of principles and elected officers in its last meeting. The exact function of the group was also discussed. The principles adopted were as follows: 1. The war is an international war against international fascism. 2. The immediate task of the United States is the total organi- zation of its resources in order to achieve victory. 3. Successful prosecution of the war and the establishment of peace requires the full cooperation of all the United Nations. 4, It is important to create a better \understanding of our allies, particularly of Great Britain, Rus~- sia and China. We must resist all attempts to cause misunderstand- ing among us, 5. Protection of the political freedom and economic security of all our citizens is an essential part of the democracy we are defending. 6.

With the extension of rationing we are glad to cooperate, but we are disappointed in the piecemeal way in which this country has handled the question. Instead of profiting by England’s mistakes and by improve- ments of their rationing system, we seem to be sluggish about a full realization of the problem:,. England found.early in the war, that fationing would eventually\apply to more commodities than sugar, and universal ration cards were initiated. Over there the govern- ment also succeeded in. producing action-on the-rationing question before rumors instigated either widespread ill-effects on morale or extensive hoarding. They realized that legislation was necessary to prohibit violations such as hoarding‘and Black Markets. With England’s experience as an\object lesson, why has Ameri- ca allowed rumor to precede facts ? For instance, the present rumors concernirig meat rationing are not only confusing, but detrimental to war-time morale. time luxuries, a fact evidenced by many present-day polls. The American people are willing to give up peace- But we ask for a definite system of universal rationing — a system on which we can rely. Again, in the coffee rationing question, the problem of hoarding became serious. While the system was being worked out, rationing was instituted through the individual grocer, but meanwhile, rumors encouraged housewives to hoard. With the rationing of butter and other milk products ahead of us, we are wondering why the manpower shortage and the resultant farm-products shortage could not have been foreseen in time for a system of rationing to include these products to be maugUreted be- fore the actual shortage occurred. Living in an institution like Bryn Mawr, we do not realide the problems of the housewife, but we, like any private family, are sub- ject to rationing.” We should not leave all consideration of the prob- lem to the college Business.Office. We should be aware of this im+ portant factor in war-time morale which applies to every citizen of the country. . OPINION Keeping Traditions Outweighs Senior War Bond Purchase Readers Assert . To the Editor of the CoLLEGE NEWS: It has beén suggested that the class of 1948 dispense with various senior traditions in order to pur- chase a war bond with this part of the dues. Although such a plan is based upon good, sufficient, and pa- triotic reasons, we do not approve of removing all of the senior tra- ditions. In the first place, democracy de- mands respect for majority deci- sions as well as defense of its rights. Since the above plan was vetoed in a recent class meeting, we recommend that most of these traditions be kept but their ex; penses modified, as the senior class then decided. It has also been objected that such expenses, cause inflation. But ef > LY the girls who advance this criticism continue to buy new lipstick and non-essential clothes and to go to the movies, without realizing that these activities also cause inflation. Until they are willing to renounce all such private pleasures, they are hypocritical and inconsistent in their position. Although the college traditions do not contribute directly to the war effort, we feel that it is not yet advisable or necessary to suspend them completely. If they are not kept alive now, it will be difficult and artificial to resume them after the war. _ CLARISSA Moors, ’43. SALLY ALEXANDER, 743. Senior Class Members Refute Harriet Houston’s Budget To the Editor of the News: : In regard to Miss Houston's let- ! Nuts and Bolts By Jessie Stone, °44 A remarkable coincidence in the history of college newspapers is the similarity of subject matter in the editorials of The Radcliffe News and The Mount Holyoke News. Both papers wrote about them- selves, Radcliffe called its editorial “The NEWS ‘Staff: Its Function.” Mount Holyoke’s was headed “One For All And All For The News.” Although the editorials are not cal- culated to arouse sympathy, they will doubtless be greeted by smil- ing nods from collegiate newspaper editors and business staffs through- out the country. According to the Radcliffe paper “the News is one of the most near- ly professional of all college activi- ties.” While Mount Holyoke asks us to “Consider a moment what the campus would’ be without a news- paper!” This rhetorical request may not have been without unflat- tering answers. Nevertheless, there are points put across by both editorials which deserve expression on occasion. For example, the work behind the print- ed “page, the “most conspicuous part of the paper,” as Radcliffe puts it, is seldom recognized by the entire student body. Remember the advertising and circulation staffs, which haven’t the by-lines, but make them possible. Mount Holyoke’s editorial intro- duces a thought that seldom occurs to newspaper staff members, let alone the reading public. Turning out a newspaper becomes rather automatic, in the sense that the staff never thinks about the impor- tance of the publication of campus information. The Mount Holyoke News reminds us that “In its pages weekly are . ... . items of infor- mation necessary to our daily life here, as well as information de- signed to acquaint everyone with everything.” The ability of a col- lege paper, or of any paper, liter- ally to “acquaint everyone with everything” may be questioned, but the purpose is valid. One of the editorials was written to welcome new staff members, the other to push a subscription drive. It is regrettable that such motives are needed to produce this type of editorial.

Amateurs can’t make the grade. The Haverford station sounds calm enough when gushing into the Common Room, but who knows what goes on at the other end? For example, one .volunteer to announce a program makes the perilous trip laden with records, more records, and schedules, and meets with a three flight pant to a box-like room'in darkened Union Hall. “Are you running the pro- gram tonight?” “No, there isn’t any announcer.” The calmness of the technicians is a miracle.

The other plays, as Miss Hen- derson said, were “dramatically in- teresting,” needing, perhaps, more time for rehearsal. In some cases, the Freshmen in choosing their plays, may have been “stretching their necks,” going slightly beyond their scope. The judges, taking in- to account the severity of the task as well as the finished product, ad- mired and encouraged their choices.

Exam- ples of the horror of Nazi invasion were found in the wholesale de- struction of villages and towns.
