Symbolical or not, the two elements fail to cohere. Of the lighter efforts, I rather enjoyed Olivia Kahn’s brief biog- raphy (agreeably illustrated by Elisabeth Frazier) and -yet I was disappointed. A snail in. a.tea-cup ‘should be full of attractive possi- bilities, only one ‘of which here materializes. The adventure of Pinkle the Pixie as told by Fran- ces Lynd must go down as a fail- ure, except for those who appreci- ate the whimsical approach to whimsey. All four lyrics are definitely in- teresting. Martha Kent’s first poem shows thoughtfulness and real poetic imagination, but does not quite come off, not so much because the thought is incoherent as because the imagery lacks pre- cision and strength. Her second, less ambitious, is a success; it comes all in a piece, and the free verse here is no longer loose or “limp, but firmly turned. Priscilla Schaff in eight lines creates a dig- nified picture weakened by flat phrasing in one or two places. Hester Corner’s poem may be a little too long; once or twice it wanders, or fails to be concrete; the ‘whole (deliberately) Aacks color. -But Miss. Corner knows what she is about; nothing is stale or forced, and the imagery mostly incisive, and once stunning. Finally, there is a drawing by Alice Crowder, amusing and spir- ited; some of its significance may be lost on. me. On the whole, this is a definitely good number. Not everything is successful, but there is little fionsense, and very little pretentious, stupid, or utterly mis- guided writing. There is certainly a place “for the college literary magazine; I wish The Lantern the luck it deserves. is », * Opinion | Department of Philosophy Supports Appointment of N. Y. Professor Tothe Editor of the College News: Members of the college commu- nity have undoubtedly been read- ifg the newspaper accounts of the controversy which has arisen in New York over‘the appointment of the distinguished English mathe- matician arid “ philosopher, Ber- trand Russell, as professor of phil- osophy in the College of the City of New York. The issue involved in the demand for the revocation of his’ appointment is so important and concerns so deeply the students your readers should know of the action being taken by members of the American Philosophical Asso- ciation and of the earnest support of this action by us, the teachers of philosophy at Bryn Mawr. The following letter, which ex- plains itself, was sent last week to the Board -of Higher Education of New York City, after having been widely circulated for endorsement by teachers of philosophy through- out the country. GRACE A. DE LAGUNA PAUL WEISS “MILTON C. NAHM D. VELTMAN “To the Honorable Board of High- er Education, College of the City of New York, “Ladies and Gentlemen: ‘We, members of the American Philosophical Association and these vieWs in no way disqualify and teachers in all. higher institu- tions of learning, that we think | teachers of Philosophy in ‘Ameri-| Rosemont Chicas can educational institutions, regard | Professor Bertrand Russell ‘of the outstanding philosopKers of Ss one jour time, and while not all of us share his. personal views on theism and (marriage, we consider that him from teaching college students. Indeed, any revocation of his ap- pointment because of his personal / opinions would be a calamitous set- back to that freedom of thought and discussion which has been the basis of ‘democratic education. — It would lead to the institution of an inquisition by laymen into all sorts of personal views on the part of a prospective teacher instead of the considered judgment of his profes- sional colleagues who are better qualified to. know his: competence. “College students are not infants to be protected against all contact with unorthodox ideas. They are! very near the age when they begin | ‘to exercise their duties as voting citizens. They read current peri- odicals and literature and _ they , take part in the general life of the community, so that they are as familiar with unorthodox ideas as is the rest of the population. Parti- cularly is it true that college au- thorities should not presume to act in loco parentis to students who live at home. Nor should a teacher in a college supported by public funds be subject to the same tests as those appropriate for theologic seminaries or parochial schools. It would indeed be a tragic reversion to an outworn past if college teach-! ers were dismissed because, like Huxley, they did not accept theism ot, like George Eliot, they did not entirely accept the conventional views as to the marriage relation. Many estimable citizens have been Bryn Mawr Record .. With 25-23 Victory Saturday, March 15.—After six undefeated games, the Bryn Mawr Varsity lost the fast of a glorious season to Rosemont by the score of 25-23. Rosemont took the: lead at the start and for the first time this winter Bryn Mawr trailed at the half. Disaster lay for the most part, not in defective functioning of the home team, but in superb shooting of Rosemont’s forwards. Waples, 42, seriousiy hampered by an injured shoulder, was re- placed by Squibb, ’41, in the sec- ond half. The veteran skill of Ligon, ’40, and Norris, ’40, now appreciably augmented and stabil- ized, decisively mont’s lead, and the tide might have been turned if the Varsity forwards had made more of the numerous free throws proffered. The Varsity guards played a con- tinuously. effective game. BRYN MAWR ROSEMONT the BAN hs be Me Ne es Reilly WTS fa aciv ca Ss . Goglia (¢.) yragice ee La ¢ acai EA nA merce J, Mattin (c.) .... ..

Neither team had many chances to shoot and Rosemont let many of them slip by, although they made nearly every try count.
