It was not, he said a summary of all that had been presented before, but rather an appendix or footnote to the other lectures. History, Mr. Weiss said, is an at- tempt to understand a certain thing through the course of time, or to see how anything becomes what it is. That involves the two related problems of what remains constant and what changes in the particular thing studied. _. Our conception of science today differs from that of the ancients. For. Aristotle, the highest. science is concerned with first principles and necessary deductions from them. Now the scientist does not claim to seek first principles. He makes a supposition and uses that to deal with empirical knowledge. The constant in the history of se‘ence is a method of approaching ‘ facets, making a hypothesis in order to understand the meaning of those facts, and using inductive and de- ductive reasoning. In one sense, the scientist clings to his hypothe- Continued on Page Five Swarthmore to See B.

As in the * original production there will be complete cooperation between Hav- erford and Bryn Mawr; the Stage and lighting crew will be composed of students from both colleges. The presentation of the play at .. Swarthmore was suggested and ar- ranged by President Morley of Haverford. Swarthmore students will be admitted free, but Bryn Mawr and Haverford students will be charged fifty cents, and outsid- ers a dollar. If enough students wish to go, a special bus will drive them to Swarthmore. Calendar Thursday, Dec. 12.— Spanish Club tea, 4°p, m. Friday, Dec. 13.— C. O.

Miss Hertha Kraus, as- sociate professor of social economy at Bryn Mawr, originated the plan. Twenty-eight European scholars, all recent arrivals in America; are now living in HaVérford. The Workshop offers training courses in education’ which are being taught by Haverford, Swarthmore and Bryn Mawr professors and other Main Line teachers. Students of both Haverford and Bryn Mawr are giving tutoring conferences to fa- miliarize every scholar with col- loquial English and to help~ with papers, articles and books they may be writing. After Christmas, the members of the Workshop will spend part of every day at one of the neighboring colleges. Miss Fairchild, Miss Reed, Miss Robbins and Mr. Herben, of the Bryn Mawr faculty, are teaching at the Workshop; and seven Bryn Mawr girls are already serving as tutor-secretaries. More are nedd- ed; and Ruth Lehr, ’41, Rhoads Hall, would be glad to talk to any- one who will offer their services. Snow Brings Out Campus Artistic Ability; Statue Exuding Grandeur Found at Radnor By Barbara Herman, °43 The advent of snow on Thurs- day and Friday gave a definite im- petus to the creative instincts of the student body and also definite clues as to the waywardness.of the student mind. In back of Radnor the impos- ing figure of a stern -and buxom ~~ Jady~ stood staring with icy, glare and haughty expression. Her fea- tures were chiseled, her topknot was in place down to the last hair, and her complexion was of the purest marble. That such evi- dences of hitherto unsuspected ar= tistic ability should come from what we imagine to be the confines of Radnor leads us to believe that there is more worldliness in our grads than meets the eye. The only question that is troubling us is, who was the model? | A less developed piece of sculp- stood in front of Pem.

There was great sport around ‘campus, too. We know for a fact that some little boys were sleigh- riding in back of Rhoads (we were trying to write a paper at the time); and there were ski trails in the hockey field. On the whole, the, snow seems to have been the ator. of great . mental, spir- ital, and — endeavors. ~ Good- Edith Voorhaus, ’42; John Marsh, ’43 Hardy to Discuss Economic Problems Raised by War Policy Charles 0. Hardy will speak on Wartime Control of Prices in the Common Room on Friday at four o’clock. Mr. Hardy is a member of the Brookings Institute ‘of Wash- ington, D. C. and in September pub- lished a book for the Institute on the subject of his lecture here. The research work in this field was un- dertaken at the request of the United States’ War Department. In his book, Mr. Hardy analyses the many. problems connected with pricing and governmental policy in time of war and offers an appraisal of. price controls as they. were de- veloped during the World War. The action of government purchas- ing agents, use of priority sched- ules for production, price policies for the government and for the public at large, and the basic points for a war labor program are among the many complexities of a war economy which Mr. Hardy’s book discusses. Machinery of con- trol-and actual methods are also analysed, Maids and- Porters~....

Mawr-Haverford production of Our Town was the complete co- operation between the two colleges. In former years it would have been extremely difficult not to have sep- arated the contribution of each col- lege towards the dramatic produc- tion under consideration, but this year no such difficulty exists. The harmonious overtones may have been due either to the skill of Fifi Garbat, ’41, who directed the play, or to the interest of both groups in doing a good job. Our Town, the Thornton Wilder few seasons ago, has probably pen- etrated into four out of every five of the small theatre groups in America in a _ surprisingly short time. Perhaps for this reason it was not the best possible choice for the major fall play, but it is much to the credit of its producers that they made no particular at- tempt to follow the trail blazed by the New York production. Lou- ise Classen, ’42, played the lead- ing role much as Martha Scott played it on Broadway, but the part is not elastic. She was ably supported by John C, Marsh, ’43, who gave an astonishingly polished performance as George Gibbs, the young lover. Mr. Marsh acted sim- ply and effectively, never straining for dramatic heights, never slip- ping out of character.

Students Asked Not to Use Reserve Room Because If They Do the Books Pile Up So By Marguerite Bogatko, ’41 Every single Bryn Mawr under- graduate knows about the Reserve Room in the library or at least thinks she does. Anyone who has never been in the Reserve Room has probably never passed fresh- man English and so is ruled out of any intelligent discussion. This is going to be an intelligent dis- cussion*ofwhy,.-where,..and.,what goes on in your reserve room. Of course, it’s really much more restful to sit and dream at the large shiny desk in the west wing wheré the record library and the book elevator are. Not much chance for dreaming in the hurly- burly of the old reserve room, -but there are loads of interesting peo- ple around. There are those inter- esting people who just take the books down to Rhoads instead of signing. them out and the people who smile and say at 7:30, “Oh, don’t be such an old meanie, there are twelve other copies of this book; 20 tet: me take-one-out-over: = night now.” There are people with untidy hair who rush up and say accusingly, “And where is my book?” “What book and who are you?” one asks tactfully. “Oh, never mind,” they say bit- terly, taking all the slips out of the box and throwing them on the floor. Last but not least there are the spies.. Sometimes they just peek in and sometimes they come in and- have a good look around. “Books are sort of piling up, aren’t they?” the gestapo says casually to the reserve room girl. “Oh, do yoy really think so?” the r. r. girl anSwers politely, pre- tending that she thinks her sinister. visitor is just making conversation. If only all those girls who believe in a thorough five-minutes-to-a- book review before the quiz and those girls who do theiy_history reading and their music reading would go away, books wouldn’t pile up. But, of course, nobody even thinks of that. - are 2 PRICE 10 CENTS play which came to Broadway a |. oO Page Two S THE COLLEGE NEWS THE COLLEGE NEW (Founded in 1914) } 2 Published weekly during the College Year (excepting ‘during Thanks- ving, Christmas and Easter Holidays, and during examination weeks) n the interest of Bryn Mawr College at the Maguire Building, Wayne, Pa., and Bryn Mawr College. s sail The College News is fully protected by copyright.

Since the matter is of great importance, may’ I offer you my comments. You consider as a dubious as- sumption the opinion sommetimes ex- pressed that a German victory would spell disaster on the Ameri- can way of. life. You doubt the “value of a British victory when weighed against the cost of war and the. questionable results of English peace terms.” Regarding the first point, the an- swer is not merely a matter of opinion. Consider the implications of a German victory: this country would continue to arm on an in- creasing scale because in a world largely dominated by militaristic ‘powers this country could not af- i\ford to stay unarmed. The arma- | ment program would become a per- History of Science The series of lectures on the history of science was concluded on Monday night. These weekly meetings have been exceptionally stimulating andthe success of the idea cannot be doubted. We be- lieve this experiment which has proven such a success should now be incorporated in the college curriculum as a course to be given at regular intervals.” Translating a series of lectures into courses involves many difficylties. It can only be solved by pushing further the coopera- tive efforts which the various departments have already made. The idea has, however, the undoubted support of the campus as a whole and has proven its potential worth. We feel that this course could be alternated with a course organized along the lines of the 18th century given last year. The science course would probably be more of a lecture course than was the 18th century and would also be more of a survey study. The 18th century or some such period study would fll a different need, in that it would be pri- marily a discussion class based on student reports. Both courses would ‘be non-specialized and should draw students and faculty from all fields. We hope_it is possible to include every year one such course offering a broad viewpoint and not limited to particular interests. 7 Union Now | Our Town was a successful cooperative effort of two small colleges. As such it provided a concrete example of a sentiment and faith vigorously propounded this year by college officials of Bryn Mawr, Haverford and Swarthmore. The fall play produced jointly by Bryn Mawr and Haverford climaxes the unofficial par- ticipation by the two colleges in small plays and in other extra- curricular activities. Cooperation in extracurricular events has begun to spread to academic lines. President Morley of Haverford has said that, “by pooling facilities, while preserving autonomy, small colleges can give their students university advantages without in any way sac- rificing the inestimable assets of the small colleges.” The limitations of a small college as to the size of its faculty and the number of specialized courses it can provide could be greatly minimized by sharing the particular advantages offered by the individual colleges. 3 The development of joint participation in academic work will undoubtedly have to proceed slowly, as has been the case in extra- curricular events. Already, however, outside lectures are shared and advanced publicity arranged. Some few students interchange for particular courses and one or two faculty members give lectures at other colleges.~ If the cooperative efforts continue along these lines, much of the present financial strain will be relieved without necessitating the sacrifice of local autonomy or individual policies. » a and ‘back Right from college direct to versa, without extra charge, in _ The rates are low, and you. cai VACATION ECONOMY: Send your Luggage home RAILWAY EXPRESS! ‘Aad all you do lg phone HAI vay FXPRESS: We'll call for your trunks, bags and bundles. / way they'll go at passenger train speed, and be deliv ipa g8 by handy es : ur own front ‘door and vice to the street address. d “collect,” you know, by ge laundry goes.

Science lectures, Mr. Michels spoke on the development in phys- ics since the beginning of the pres- ent, century. He explained the principal theories of motions: the particle theory and the wave theory, and then described the steps in the advancement of mod- ern physics in their“relation to those two theories. During the eighteenth and the early part of the nineteenth cen- turies, the natural philosophers succeeded in building a satisfying particle theory into which all the known physical information fitted. At about the same time, Huygens, and later, Young, developed the idea that light is a wave motion. When James Clerk Maxwell intro- duced his theory of electromagnetic waves, and showed that the mo- tion of electric charges leads to a wave motion, workers felt that this development of thought had been |earried to its logical conclusion. The closing years of the nine- teenth century brought into ex- istence five bits of knowledge which proved this idea false and greatly changed the structure of physics. Michelson and Morley, that its velocity is unaffected by the motion of the observer. At about. the same time, Hertz found that electricity could be emitted from solid bodies under the action of ultra-violet rays. In 1895, Rontgen discovered a type of ra- diation emitted when electrons strike the walls of a discharge tube and gave it the name of X-rays. Becquerel then found a spontane- ous type of radiation called radio- activity. Finally Planck decided that light is given off from solid bodies in discrete bits of energy which he called light quanta. —These five results had a great experimenting with light, proved! bined Prologue-and Epilogue is P.

In 1905, Einstein predicted a quan- titative relationship between the wave length of the light falling on a solid and the energy of the electrons -ejected from it. This caused confusion, because the as- sumptions of Planck and Einstein depended on the fact that light “is a stream of particles, while men like Young and Maxwell proved that light is a wave motion. Einstein, working from the Mi- chelson-Morley results, regarding the velocity of light, developed his theory of relativity. Rutherford bombarded the atom, and found that it- consisted of a positive nu- cleus with electrons revolving about it. Then Compton showed that X- rays under certain conditions act as waves instead of particles. This again left the assumption that electromagnetic radiations had to be considered purely as waves for one purpose, and as particles for another. Puerto de Mexico 69 ST. JAMES PLACE ARDMORE, PA.

This sys- tem had helped to clarify the dif-. ficulty, but it has also left many new problems to be solved by mod- ern physics. ELIZABETH K. BROWNBACK 11 Station Road, Ardmore, Pa.

It has no formal affiliates but plans and _exe- cutes its programs with “cooper- ating” organizations. Its policy and program for action is taken from the organizations that cooper- ate with it. These, at the annual convention, determine the general outline of the program for the year, and in autonomous, neighborhood councils carry out that program as applied to a given district.
