Ideas Outlined By | Wiskemann National Socialism Existed Before the Treaty Of Versailles —— oo GERMAN INFLUENCE IN EAST DISCUSSED ‘Music Room, Goodhart; December 1. —Elizabeth Wiskemann gave the Mallory Whiting Webster history lec- ture for the year on the subject: National Socialism in Central Europe. After stating her belief that national socialism is not as much a product of the Treaty of Versailles as is com- monly thought, she described the de- velopment of this ideology in Austria, not Germany, throughout the 19th cen- tury. Miss Wiskemann then discussed ‘the influence of. national socialism in the other middle European countries at the present time. ‘. “Hitler himself has contributed no single fdea to national socialism,” said Miss Wiskemann. Emphasis on the racial and linguistic unity of the Ger- man people was laid in the nationalist revival of the early 19th century. The desire for individual freedom, , which was dominant in many other countries at this time, was largely ab- sent from the German government. * Bismarck’s expulsion of Austria from the empire in 1866 ‘sets the actual beginning of national socialism. The Germans in Austria, exiled from their national home, developed a strong racial feeling, which was aug- industrial developments of the time. were added to their ideology because the great Austrian entrepreneurs were Jewish, and because Slavic laborers were willing to work for less than the Germans. ¥ These principles were first enumer- ated in ‘their present form by Schoe- nerer, a deputy in the Austrian par- liament. He also attacked the inter- nationalism of the Hapsburg dynasty ted the power of the Roman hurch.

The play is a farce laid in Bulgaria in the “eighties,” amid the joyous atmosphere of mili- tary heroes and romantic girls.

Various problems have confronted the property manager, Olivia Kahn, 41, who has had great difficulty in securing such articles as @ Turkish coffee pot, a hookah, and pistols.

Almost the only way: of discovering the style, symbolism and periods of antique jades, he emphasized, is by the comparison of inscriptions and dated ‘material “from excavations. Dated material is very rare, since very few pieces have clearly defined origins. Much collecting has _ been done because of purely literary and artistic enthusiasm. The earliest pieces belong to neo- lithic times and show the childish and stammering naturalism common to all primitive peoples. Later, during the Chang period (1400-1100 B.C.), this naturalism is organized and acquires a-more formalistic character. The period was not essentially opposed to nature, but its ‘art was religious, ex- pressing a complicated ritual of fe- cundity and fertility. The objects were so crowded with magic symbols that naturalism was impossible. After 1100, during the period of early Western Chou dominance, the elaborate Chang ritual lost signifi- cance, and as a result the jade de- signs became more realistic, with fewer complications and magical pat- terns. In the period of unrest. and sub-division after 950, art became still. more impoverished and less so- phisticated. Features were simplified. Pattern consisted largely of meanders without significance. Most of the complicated symbolism was gone: only the elementary forms of-the tiger, bird and demon were left. The bird repre- sented light and the tiger darkness, cosmological forces grouped about the demon. All were standardized, with Continued on Page Four 1? Dean Believes America Is Safe From Fascism Race Consciousness is of Less Significance.

The chief causes of the growth of fascism are the feaf of Communism he cultivation of race hatred. raph movements such as the Ku KIW@x Klan and the form of Commu- , nism manifested in the Cleveland sit- down strike, have their place in America, Such highly organized movements as these are dangerous, but will never attain importance as they can only touch upon the griev- ances of a very limited section of the country. They are defeated because of having only local and not national significance. America mote than any other coun- try, has had to deal with the problems connected with a.population of mixed races, yet America has the least race consciousness. The intense racial con- flict in Europe is due to the constant fear of the domination. of some other race. - Continued on Page Four Bruegel Exhibition The Art Club, in copnection with the History of Art Depart- ment, ,will present an exhibition . of reproductions of the work of Peter Bruegel, December 11, at . 4 p. m. in the Common Room.

Marriage Council Holds Philadelphia Session Possibility of Giving Marriage Courses in More Colleges Is Discussed The First Conference of the Phila- delphia Marriage Council. was held on November 16, in Philadelphia... This meeting is of particular interest to Bryn Mawr since the question of a marriage course to be given here has lately come up before the curriculum committee. The latter feels that be- fore anything definite can be done, ‘Campus opinion as to the desirability of such a course and the field it should cover must be expressed. The class in statistics may attempt to get this information through questionnaires of some sort or other. The morning session of the Mar- riage Council’s meeting consisted of various. speeches on the work done in Philadelphia through courts, schools, radio, etc., on the topic of prépara- tion for marriage. In the afternoon there were four sessions by the Youth, Educational (for which Dr. Leary spoke), Medical and Religious groups. In the Educational Group discussion six aspects of a marriage course were Cgntinued on ease Four INDUSTRIAL GROUP HEARS ABOUT C. I. O. German House, December 2.—At its second meeting this year, the. Indus- trial Group discussed and compared the C. I. O. and the A. F. of L. There were no formal speakers, but the large number of students present kept the discussion up both by asking ques- tions and by contributing information. Owing to conflicts with union meet- ings, fewer industrial girls were presgnt than usual. The discussion centered around three topics: the history of the C. I, O. and why and how it separated from the A. F. of L., the differences be- tween the two and the possibilities of uniting. The meeting was notable for. its lack. of bias and violent argument, |and for the amount of information given by both students and industrial social economy department, answered questions and’ joined in the discussion, as did Beatri¢e Sachs;’41, and Helen Resor, ’42, who had been asked ‘to look up material on the A.

French Authors Visiting Professor Discusses La Fontaine and Giraudoux And Their Works Goodhart, December 5.—In_intro- ducing his lecture, M. Paul Hazard, of ‘the Collége de France, announced that he would: follow a simple plan: Jean de La Fontaine—et Jean Girau- doux—et Jean de La Fontaine et Jean Giraudoux. Jean de La Fontaine: is above all a familiar poet: children -first learn his fables by heart, then analyze them at school, only to fully appreciate their wisdom when they reread them later on. As a poet he is fresh, wise and colorful, presenting all aspects of humanity in simple, pleasant scenes. In much the same way his whole life appears as a series of agreeable pic- tures. | ’ A Frenchman -jn the purest sense, he was born of a bourgeois, farming family at Chateau-Thierry. Legends attesting absent-mindedness immedi- ately began to grow up about him. As a young man he became attached to the household of Fouquet, an_ inter- esting position at a time when ‘teven- teenth century France was beginning to form itself. He is perhaps most likable of all as ‘an old man, wise, philosophic, but not without regrets. Jean Giraudoux has the appearance and vitality of. a tall, lanky adolescent. He has had a varied career, giving up professorial ambitions after at- tempting an agrégation in German to go into the foreign service where he held numerous positions. His first book; Amica America, came ‘out in 1909; a novel Suzanne et le Pacifique appeared shortly after the war. A still greater success in the theatre followed with Siegfries et: le Limousin Amphitryon and La Guerre de Troic r-aura pas Lieu. His last play, Can- tiques des Cantiques, was recently pro- duced by the Comédie’ Francaise. Giraudoux likes to play with words, Continued on Page Two All-Star Faculty Cast To Present Our Village Wilder’s Play Furnishes Basis for Bryn Mawr Parody The main feature of the ‘Peace Chest Party on Friday night will be : or, more intimately, Your Campus. -It has borrowed a few obvious characteristics, from Mr. Wilder’s well-known play: a modicum of scenery, a Néw England Stage’ Manager (Barbara Bigelow, ’39), and two ladders. Otherwise it is indebted to Bryn Mawr, which supplies inex- Our Village, satire. a The cast of Our Village is steddes with faculty luminaries. Mrs. Man- ning plays the part of Mrs. Manning, Mrs. Chadwick-Collins of Mrs. Chad- wick-Collins. Mr. Crenshaw, Mr. Lat- timore, Mr. Patterson, Mr. Watson, Mr. Weiss, Miss Cary, Miss Hender- son, Miss Terrien and Mrs. Woodrow all play themselves. The exception who proves the rule is.Miss Linn, in the role of Miss Frances -Perkins. The skjt has'such a slight plot that it would be useless describe it. It adheres mildly to Mr. Wilder’s central boy-meets-girl theme, but this never threatens for a moment to run away with it. On the other hand, it is full of social significance and is bolstered up by numerous songs and a dance, in which the -whole cast takes part. One of the songs will be sung by Mrs. Manning and Mr. Crenshaw, whose vocal talents are said to have brought down many houses. If Our Village shows signs of pall- ing, the members of its cast will make allowances for anyone who -would rather look at the drawings by Span- ish children or consume cider and doughnuts in’ the gymnasium anti- chamber. Officially, both will be avail- able after the main performance. Any intermissions in Our Village will be unintentional and will not call for a College Hears Kreisler Play - In Goodhart Varied Program .Comprises Both Classical and Modern Works PLAYING COMBINES FEELING AND TONE Goodhart, December 1.—The .col- lege was privileged last Thursday evening to hear Fritz Kreisler, most beloved and, in the opinion of many, the greatest violinist of our time, in a program for the benefit of the Tar- sus dig. He was greeted with an en- thusiasm rarely heard here; and nois- ily applauded after each number, par- ticularly by the balcony. He asked afterwards who-was up there, and said simply, learning it was students: “I played to them.”~ Goodhart, he - thought, was the most beautiful place in which he had ever appeared. Mu- tual enthusiasm of audience and per- former led As the: addition of four en- cores to an already generous program of classical and modern compositions for violin and piano. He played first the well-known Dev- il’s Trill, which Tartini wrote some two hundred years ago, supposedly in recollection of a dream in which the devil played to him; The opening sec- tion was wonderfully full and even in tone, but the violin part grew more and more virtuosic, demanding trills and double stops in such profusion that it seemed’ there must be more , than one instrument there. The Bach Chaconne for violin alone gave Mr. Kreisler an opportunity to prove his famed musicianship. Through all the complicated embroidery he kept the theme clearly defined and never let its dignity become secondary to technical considerations. Depth of feeling and beauty of tone in legato and staccato alike made this rendering memorable. The next.:selection, Viotti’s twenty- second Concerto, is seldom played apd cannot be called one of the great com- positions for violin. It seems to be uncommonly well suited to the instru- Continued on Page Three Ruth Draper to Make Goodhart Appearance On Monday, December 12, Ruth Draper will give a performance in Goodhart for the first time.

Occasionally she gives mono- logues in a kind of gibberish intended to give the effect of a strange lan- guage, but not intended to mean any- thing literally.

An exhibition of pictures Aeuine by Spanish children. between. the ages of six and 14 will be shown in the Com- mon Room this week. They were col- lected from refugee centers in Spain and France by Miss Margaret Pal- mer, representative of the Carnegie Institute in Spain, and by Mr. José Weissberger. On Thursday, Decem- ber eighth, at 4.30 p. m., the Art Club and the Peace Council are giving a tea at which Mr. Richard Bernheimer will speak on the drawings. Thé pictures are interesting, in one sense, for the proof they offer that Spanish children are not lacking in artistic talent. Mr. Weissberger, who is brother of the collector and who brought the pictures to Bryn Mawr, pointed out that many, of them are also valuable historical and psycho- logical documents showing ‘the effect of | the war on Spanish children of both sides. They depict subjects such as the evacuation from burned cities, the bombing of towns, - and fights between airplanes and anti-air- eraft guns. | ae The Cleveland and Los Angeles museums have already exhibited the pictures which have been highly praised by art critics. Reproductions _|are now available in a book called They Still Draw Pictures, which was sponsored by the American Friends Senvice Committee, and has an intro- duction by Alous Huxley. : The drawings range in price from two to 35 dollars, but a reduction. of one-third of the price will be given to any students who wish-to buy a pic- ture and donate it to the college. Afr. Weissberger emphasized the import- ance of keeping some of these draw- ings in public collections in colleges and museums because of their docu- mentary significance. The _ book, They Still.Draw Pictures, and some of the pictures, will also be on sale at the Peace Chest Party, Friday night, December ninth. The. proceeds of both sales are to go to the Peace Chest, for aid in China and Spain. Paul Hazard 'S peaks On French Authors Continued from Page One abhors the commonplace and has a talent for paradox. His writing shows originality, fantasy, hidden culture, a certain préciosité and, at times, a sense of poetry. While not the most forceful, he is the most original genius of his generatien and his capricious grouping of ideas and his force of metaphor often contain hidden feel- ing—feeling which, as Mauriac notices, becomes virulence and rancour in his theatre. These two men are brought together in the group of lectures by Giraudoux called Les Cinq Tentations de Jean de La Fortaine. This study has youth and vitality; it contains many quick, penetrating ideas. .The main thesis contends that while all outside in- fluences stood in the way of his writ- ing fables, La Fontaine nevertheless wrote fables; Giraudoux, showing a tendency to ruw counter to general opinion, also maintains that La Fon- taine had no taste for nature or for poetry or for philosophical thought. It would seem that Giraudoux is seeing himself in the person of La Fontaine. His contention that La Fontaine’s inspiration came_ solely from within himself: is primarily an explanation of his own inspiration. It is an illustration of his own theory that the creative artist is directed by a fatality, within chimself and* that hg must Yeniain unconscious of outside in-| fluences. Giraudoux is apparently too strong a personality to be a. good critic, but this, is no reason to condemn the writer.

After some meditation I can hardly think of any project on cam- pus less deserving of such an outlay. In the face of the present world situa- tion and the urgent. need for funds ..in Spain, China and German refugee work, 20,000 dollars for squash courts seems disproportionate. There are also far more pressing local needs—the summer school, the library wing, theatre workshop, fac- ulty salaries, etc. We already ~sup- port so many worthy causes that every pay’ day leaves us_ in a financial stupor. As for the entertaining- men-angle— since when have there been enough men around’ Bryn Mawr to justify such an expenditure for their benefit? Though the present men are remark- able more for their quality than their quantity, we should hate to experi- ence a flood of squash court slickers. That type is already amply provided for at: Vassar. What percentage of the Bryn Mawr campus plays squash or has time to learn? Over half the college never heard of this squash court plan till they read about it in last week’s News. Such a drive should have the backing of a majority of the college before it is put into execution.. BARBARA BIGELOW, 39. To the Editors of the College News: The U.S. Committee of the Inter- national Student Service, upon the réquest of Dr. J. U. Ly, chairman of the ‘National Student Relief Commit-|~ tee in China, appeals to the colleges , in America for a sum of $50,000 to aid 35 colleges in China for the year 1938-1939. To this appeal the Bryn Mawr College Peace Council has re- sponded with its vote of co-operation. ~ The $50,000 are urgently needed by the 85 colleges which have been de- stroyed in the invasion and whose students have moved or are moving into the interior of China. In the mass migration of civilian’ popula- - tion, 70..per cent of China’s students participate. By foot, ox-cart- and sampan they have traveled more than one thousand miles, amidst torrid heat and severe cold, and through a war-harrassed country often visited by bombing planes, in order to reach the western frontier of China, where they may hope to settle down to study in bomb-proof caves. One group has reached Kunming after a continuous march of 67 days. 1 Most of these studgnts have lost their own means of supply, and need food and clothing to keep them from collapse under the strain. American friends and fellow-students can help to keep them alive and can strengthen their morale. Mr. J.

And _ Princeton Common Room, December 2.—At a Christmas party, 40 members of the Bryn Mawr German Club danced and sang with 30 Princetonians. The plan had been to dine together as well, but hospitality had succumbed to hunger well before 7.30, when Princeton ar- rived; and was fed separately. Their bus, in search of Bryn~Mawr, had taken them first to Baldwin. A Bavarian orchestra consisting, together with the piano, of an’ unusu- ally small violin and large bass vidl, played for songs ranging from Ein Prosit to: Stille Nacht, and dancing from the Blue Danube Waltz to the Virginia Reel. In the prevailing spir- it of Gemiitlichkeit feminine cutting was reasonably effective. Chief handi- cap to dancing was the quantity of people. per cubic foot of Commor. Room. : There was less singing than at other German parties. A German’ quintet opened the program with harmonized selections, notably Siiss Adelein. Oth. erwise the singing was chiefly. im- promptu aspirations of one group or another during the periods in which ‘the orchestra was recuperating from the latest effort. For the decorations, Frau Frank and the German House members had suspended evergreen wreaths horizon- tally from the Common Room ‘chande- liers, and trimmed them with red rib- bons and candles to. give a geriuinely German effect. f The Diezes said “It»is the nicest party ever given on the Bryn Mawr campus.” the bond of international student soli- darity across the Pacific.” Because of the low standard of living in China and the favorable rate of exchange, even a small of American money can do a good deal for the students in China. Here are a few examples: : 5 cts.—3 meals for a Chinese stu- dent. 15 cts.—1 week’s shelter. student. — $20 —room and board for 1 year. $800 —a dormitory providing de- cent living quarters for several hundred students. Last year, out of a poverty dinner and private contributions, the college contributed $100 to the Chinese Em- bassy Refugee Fund® It is +hoped that this year’s effort will yield a much greater return. AGNES CH’EN. 50 cts.—winter clothing for one, {centres which are’ in Loyalist Spain ty PUBLIC OPINION To the Editors of the College News: Through the non-partisan Spanish Child Feeding Mission of the Ameri- can Friends’ Service Committee, stu- dents, alumnae, faculty and staff of Bryn Mawr last year contributed over a thousand dollars for relief in Spain. This is a larger sum than was raised at any other college. This year the need of food has increased to such pro- portions that the Friends have se- cured from the American Government 60,000,,barrels of flour. A dispatch from Herbert Matthews to the New York Times on November 29 tells of the first distribution of féod in the schools of Barcelona: “For those who wanted a vivid impression of war’s be- hind the lines horrors, there is no better. method than to go around’ these schools when the bread is given out. For the first time in Spain the smallest children are getting rickets. Last winter they still had reserve strength to carry them through, but this is the second bad winter and _ it is much worse than last.” The Friends are taking charge of the shipment of the flour and are try- ing to secure from the Government additional flour to feed a million and a half people. For the shipment. of food alone they need at least $5000 a month. They are also making ship- ments of clothes both to Loyalist and to Nationalist Spain. The Friends are also maintaining the three chil- dren’s clinics and hospitals at Murcia, Alicante and Almeria, which they took over last year. At Alicante a milk clinic has been continued in the city, but because of air raids the hos- pital has been moved to the neigh; boring town of Polops. For a similar reason the hospital in Almeria has been given up, but a milk clinic is still in existence. The more important hospital of Murcia‘continues to func- tion, and Professor Gillet has lately heard from one of the Friends’ work- ers that there have been as many as nine thousand refugee children in the city. It is to the support of these hospitals and clinics that: the funds raised. at Bryn Mawr were applied last year, and the sum which we raised was sufficient to maintain all three of them for a month. Like all other relief administered. by the Friends, medical treatment and food at these are provided on a strictly non-parti- san basis.

However, there are certain agencies in this country employed in issuing propaganda to make South America known to us. The oldest of these is the Pan-American Union which w ‘organized nearly fifty years up They have published a handbobk which states the questions left un-— finished at the Buenos Aires confer- © ence, of 1936, telling what was ac- complished and how much remains to be done. There are several private organiza-_ tions in the~Argentine attempting to promote better undérstanding between the two continents. The Argentine- ‘North America Institutesand the Bra- zil-U. -S. Institute are two of. the most prominent. There. have been some inter-American conferences on education, science and on an active exchange between the Americas and among the 21 republics of South America. The question of copyright is*a very live one, as South American writers - have no protection for their intel- © lectual rights. Secretary Hull is in- vestigating this and also the question of how U. S. publishers can make our books available to South America at cheaper prices. If they could know our literature, they would feel more friendly and appreciate us more. Another agéncy is a division in the State Department on cultural co-op- eration under the direction of -Dr. Cherrington. Exchange of professors and students, formulation and dis- tribution of libraries and a general’ broadening of our scope of cultural relations with other countries is the aim of the organization.

At the same time the.racial ideal began to take hold in Germany, and during the war all the tendencies toward unity.-were strengthened. The Salzburg Pan-German Congress of 1920 finally brought together all of the groups which had supported the national socialist ideology and pre- pared them to seize the apparatus of government. Hitler has contributed his great technical ability, and, has given the moventent a somewhat more definite program—a part of which is In’ discussing national socialism in central European countries, Miss Wiskemann commented ‘on the seem- ing incongruity of these countries’ ac- cepting an ideology which is primarily racial and anti-Slav. In seeking to establish their influence, national so-| tion; instead, they try to get the sup- port of the peasants in middle Euro- pean countriés by magnifying the ex- holding up Hitler as the potential de- liverer from these conditions. They have also tried to elevate German minorities, however small and non-po- litically minded, above the rest of the population by giving them better edu- cational facilities. Hungary has been most easily influ- lation is already anti-Slavic, and since, like Germany, it has fairly justified claims to treaty revision. The short- lived communist movement in 1920 could also be enlarged upon as a rising menace by national socialists. A strong Catholic nationalist move- ment hindered the infiltration of Ger- man propaganda in Czechoslovakia un- il the death of the party’s leadery Father Hlinka, shortly before the Su- Nazis then adopted and strengthened the ideal of national- ism, but entirely disregarded Catholic- ism, which had been a vital part of Hlinka’s program. a Penetration into Rumania has always been particularly desired by the Nazis, who wish to control the oil resources, and also to secure a path toward the Ukraine. German agents have tried to capitalize upon the pov- erty stricken condition of the peasants, but King Carol has opposed the move- ment and imprisoned its leader, Co- dreanu. This opposition is, Miss Wiskemann belieygs, a ho eful sign, since it may check the advance of na- tidwal socialism toward the Ukraine. Dean.

WALLACE Caterer and Confectioner DINING ROOM | Praise is Unreserved For ‘N ight Must Fall’ Five Bryn Mawr Students Join With Cap and Bells Cast In Horror Play e Roberts Hall,.Haverford, December 2.—The Cap and Bell§ production of Enlyn Williams’ Night Must Fall has gone far to show that amateurs can revive Broadway and even ‘Hollywood without their tasting warmed-over. The usual allowances due need not be made in ranking this play as a suc- cess. With an undergraduate direc- tor and a limited stage, they yet man- aged to transcend any need for com- parison. Furthermore the interior that remained throughout the play was’ the most pleasing used at Bryn Mawr or Haverford in recent years. A poor production of the play could have provided a hair-raising evening of melodrama. Dan, the homicidal bell-boy, appears in the first act hav- ing just strangled one woman; by the final curtain he has smothered another and is only prevented from dispatch- ing a third by the arrival of Scotland Yard.. Behind these tabloid head- lines, it. is in athe character of Dan, driven by the furies of his egomania, that the play has its strength. Mrs. Bramson, whom Dan smothers for her money, is an elderly hypochon- driac in.an unnecessary wheel chair. Her despotism, exerted over the other members of her household maintains a tension of surface bickering and deep hatred. In this setting her re- pressed niece develops a fascination for the: machinery of a murderer’s psychology, as Dan, having ingrati- ated himself into Mrs. Branson’s serv- ice, follows his irresistible compulsion to crime. This study of a murderer becomes so convincing and piteous that the play cannot be dismissed as tabloid excitement. It is impossible to consider the act- ing of Samuel Withers as separate from the part itself. The possibility of distinguishing between a role and its player necessarily implies some incompleteness of interpretation. Here the product of the evening was the knowledge of a feelingless egoist who showed sincerity only in the anguished realization of defeat. As Mrs. Branson, Mary Alice Stur- devant deserves sincere commendation for her illusion of age, Particularly effective in creating this difficult effect was her voice, which had the harsh querulous edge of an old tyrant. De Lancey Cowl made the part of Olivia hold the conflict between her culti- vated revulsion from crime on one hand, and on the other her fascina- ‘tion for the character of Danny. The minor parts were as carefully acted as the rest. Julia Harned made a fine variant of the stock common sense cook. Caroline Shine was the comfortable type of visiting nurse that calls everyone “dearie.” Inspector Belsize, played by Timothy Haworth, and Dora Parkoe, played by Mary Morrison, did justice to unimportant parts. James Stewart-Gordon ito- mized the Bore as Olivia’s unsuccess- ful suitor, Hubert Laurie. Here the one question of overacting might be raised. The audience seized the relief of laughing at his buffoonery, but was slackened unnecessarily in several im- po scenes. Crosby Lewis had the introductory role of’ Lord Chief Justice. He achieved a voice appropriate to the part that was matched only by the Welsh accent of Dan. A major prob- lem in college dramatics seems to be in this necessity of heterogenous ac- cents.

It was, however, decorative rather than ritualistic. It still used animal symbolism, but its menagerie was small—only the dragon, tiger, bird, snake and human —and this menagerie represented the creature of fairy tales rather than cosmological conceptions of ommipo- tent forces. This was the period of late Eastern Chou, which lasted from 600 to 200 B.C. From 200 to 200 A.D., art became naturalistic without inhibition.

Dear College News: ’ We are passing the easternmost point of Cuba and its rugged hills and mountain peaks are very sug- gestive of the coast line of Morocco as seen passing through the Straits of Gibraltar. Looking east I can see the shore of Haiti which, like. that of Cuba, rises sharply from the sea. Both coasts, lying sleepily in the warm sunshine, suggest the land of the Lotus Eaters where it is always afternoon. One can understand what a thrill it must have given Columbus and the first navigators to have seen. these mountains rising from: waters as deep blue as their own Medi- terranean. We held our first Delegation Con- ference this morning, and the chief business was-the assignment of com- mittee functions. My assignment in- cludes the Committee on the Organi- zation of Peace and the Committee on International Law, the former deal- ing with such problems as the co- ordination of existing peace treaties, the creation of an Inter-American Court of Justice, and the formation of some sort of American As%ocia- tion of States; the latter dealing with such technical subjects as the codification of international law, ~| pecuniary claims, nationality and the status of public merchant vessels in foreign ports. “I am also on the com- mittee on “intellectual co-operation and moral. disarmament,” as if the first two committees were not enough to keep me busy.

The other five dealt with the background of marriage, courtship, marriage and its psychological adjustments and practical problems, divorce, and the future of marriage and the family in the United States. Marriage courses of varied types are now included in the curricula of several colleges. At Vassar a course was begun in 1937 open to all students but not for credit. The material presented was of a practical nature in contrast to that given at Haverford by the Sociology Depart- ment in which the subject is treated primarily as a sociological phenomena. The first, human beings, alternate years and deals, as at Vas- sar, with the biological, social, spir- itual and- economic aspects. The Bryn Mawr curriculum commit- tee is not at all definite as to what aspect of marriage would interest the campus or even if theeeampus wants any such course. It is probable that the subject would be given through the sociology department and _ the question of its tjme . must also be considered. THE GIFT SUGGESTION . SOLVED!
