Time fused classical and mediaeval ture. Father Time as we see: him is a combination of the “brief decisive ‘and the image of Time, the Deatrover created in the late Middle Ages. The revivalist spirit of the Renais- sance’ did not confine itself to reih- stating: classical types within the limits of the classical sphere, but aimed ata visual and emotional syn- the Christian present. -This syn- thesis was achieved either by the re- bolic content of a secular” but defi- nitely non-classical character) or by the natural merging ‘of classical and mediaeval traditions in the Renais- sance.

Father Time is one of these reputedly class sical characters who managed to “withstand the wholesale elimination of humanistic elements in the last century. In ancient art there are two main types of images of Time: Time is frequently represented as the moment of opportunity on which fates of men and worlds turn; or .Time may sym- bolize inexhaustible ereativeness,_In both representations the figure has ous. In other words, the ancients thought of Time as possessing infinite fertility and universal power, or but never as the relentless, pursuer. of all men.

Luncheon Meetings Held Monthly In Philadelphia (Especially contributed by Louise Morley, ’40.) The fact that there are two wars in progress in two different parts of the globe makes international rela- tions a popular and, moreover, an ex- tremely important topic of conversa- tion and ‘interest. The great numbers of peace organizations show us the activity of peace workers; the value of their varied suggestions as to how to maintain peace so as to keep the United States out of war has yet to be shown. However, there can be no doubt that since peace and world poli- tics have become such popular sub- jects of discussion, an organization that attempts to disseminate the re- sults of impartial research to the pub- lic is an extremely valuable one. The Foreign Policy Association, through its publication of weekly sur- veys of important international is- sues; its morescomplete fortnightly reports on world problems, and its educational headline books which at- tempt to present in simple terms the; social, economic, and political prob- lems confronting everyone today, has become one of the ‘most important sources of information of this sort in the United States. In addition, it conducts a series of luncheon discus- sion meetings in New York and in its branch cities, of which Philadel- phia is one of the most important. This year its,meetings will take place at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel on November 20, December 11, January 8, February 5, Febyuary 26, and March 19. The speakers. at the first meeting will be: Raymond Swing, commentator for the A of the Air 1935-36, York commentato News Chronicle; and author of Fore- runners American - Fascism; Graham Mutton; British economist, and Dr.(Bethune; “Madrid medical or- ganizer.

The Chapel Committee wishes to take this opportunity to thank all those who answered- the chapel ques- tionnaire -so willingly last spring. ‘They were of great assistance in ex- pressing public opinion, and we will do our utmost to make changes in the chapels for the coming year which will best accord with the popular de- sires. ‘The correlated answers to the leaf- -lets revealed much that was. of inter- est. gre hundred and eight people voted ‘for a practical approach to chapel topics, many of them citing Mr. Glenn’s.

This does not seem possible to arrange, but the com- mittee has made a great effort to vary the affiliations of the ‘speakers as much as possible. In answer to the question, “rf you went to chapel in former years and do not now, what is the reason?”, 37 answered “Too much work.” Some} people did not like the speakers. We are sorry, but are providing many new ones this year, largely as answer to specific requests. which have been made. Many suggested that there was not enough enthusiasm ‘or interest in chapel to arouse them to interest.

A. Miller In War Crisis TO SPEAK ON MASARYK (Especially contributed by . the Publication’ Office.) Herbert Adolphtss Miller, Ameri- can, and lecturer in sociology at Bryn Mawr College, is a.man indelibly as- sociated with the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic. The charac- ter of Masaryk, its President, the story of its founding and the un- written drama of its national recog- nition are the themes of the public lecture which Mr. Miller will give on Wednesday evening, November 3, in the Graduate Club. Mr. Miller will give this levers as a: tribute — to the late President Masaryk* who Emil Ludwig in his biography of Masaryk, Defender of Democracy, asserts was the greatest statesman in Europe. Mr. Miller calls his lecture,.Masaryk, Practical Ideal- ist, Teacher of Men and of Nations. The association:of Mr. Miller with President Masaryk is itself a roman- tic story. In 1912 Mr. Miller was working on the subject of Americani- zation as a branch of his general field of sociology. He discovered that throughout the country, Czech com- munities, although they were com- posed of American citizens, were giv- ing their money and their thought to the preservation of Czech ideals and ultimate freedom of the state. He and later that year went ‘to Bohemia with a letter of introduction to Pro- fessor Masaryk: Masaryk was at that time profes- sor of sociology at the University of Prague. He recognized at once that this professor of sociology from America knew about his people, per- haps, more than any other, certainly more than any other American, and from that time on they were collabo- rators. Mr. Miller entered into this cooperation with the Czechs as. a sociologist, nor did he. ever deviate from this approach. On October 26, 1918, 12 nationali- ties, they were not nations, because they had no countries of their own, met, fittingly, in Independence Hall in Philadelphia, to draft their Declara- tion of Independence, and their terms of alliance. And this was the crea- tion of The Little tEntente. The previous week Mr. Miller worked with Professor Masaryk on the form of the Czechoslovakian Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the Republic of Czechoslovakia. When the task~ was finished, they called Paris, the official headquarters then of the Czeschoslovak national party, allowed 24 hours to elapse, to make], < Continued on Page Four BREAKFAST HOUR CHANGED A change in breakfast hours in the college -has been announced because of the new Pennsylvania wage law for women. Although the maids of Bryn Mawr do not exceed the 44-hour-a- week maximum, a difficulty is pre- sented by the clause in the law which states that the eight hours they work a day must come within a period of 12 hours. If breakfast opens at 7.30, the maids must be in the halls by 7.15,\and they often have to stay un- til nearly 8.00 in the evening to finish washing dishes. The college is anx- ious to comply with the spirit as well as the. letter of the law, and so has taken on an extra helper for the cook in each hall. However, its budget does not permit the hiring of a whole set of waitresses dinner; there- fore, to fit the mafds’ day into the’ 12- hour program, datas breakfast must he later. most students better, so the following is planned: ~One table in each hall will be open at 7. 40, which an extra waitress will be hired to serve.

Of Techniqués é EXPLAINS EXPERIMEN -IN PHYSIO-:CHEMISTRY “At present the relations between physical chemistry and biology and medicine are becoming more and more . friendly,” said Dr. The- Svedberg, in his introduction to the discussion of his new theory of the physio-chemis- try of proteins. In the. Middle Ages, he explained, the scientist was philosopher, doctor, and sometimes theologian. Research in any one branch of science stimu- lates interest in all the others. Para- celsus, or Theophratus van Hohen- heim, who lived from 1493 to 1541 was the first to apply purely chemical a medical problems. © He recofnized,)as his contemporaries did not, that on could be fought with chemicals, and had “marvelously mod- _ ern” views of disease-germs, heredity, and infection. In fighting all the ancient laws of Aristotle, Galenus, and Avicenna, the scientific leaders of the Middle Ages, he brandished a sword “illuminated by flames of the Middle Ages and receiving the first rays from the dawn of. the Renaissance.” Von. - Helmhut (1578-1644) who was more cautious in the proclamation of his findings,- discovered the physio-chem- ical law of_conservation of matter 150 years before Lavoisier. Differentiation between the sciences occurred during the 17th, 18th, and especially during the first half of the 19th centuries, with the development of new kinds of experimental tech- nique, in’ biology, .chemistry, and physics, which were used sparingly, if at all, in medicine. The founding of physical chemistry as a separate sci- ence towards the end of the 19th cen- tury heralded the approach of an atti- tude of more universal-curiosity—and consciousness of the unity of all knowl- edge. Biologists like de Vries and Pfeffer were the first to be interested in cooperation of the sciences. The founders of classical physical chem- istry, van Hoff, Arrhenius, and Ost- - wald, all were interested in biology and medicine. “At present,” Dr. Svedberg said, “there is no doubt a general tendency of unification of science. ..The experi- mental means of today are becoming common property to all branches of natural science.” Biologists of the future should be _physio-chemists * Continued on Page Three PUBLICITY DEPARTMENT CHANGES ANNOUNCED President Park, in’answer’ to a re- > quest from the Editor of the College News, has giyen the News the follow-« ling statement in regard to changes affecting the former Director of Pub- lication: The title of Director of Publicatién has been given up.

The rallying-cry of those who tore their hair out in the middle of the night, and threatened mutiny was “Guinea pigs!” Juniors and underclassmen were informed . of the debt they would owe to the class of ’37 whenever they also ven- tured ever so feebly to voice apprehension for the future. ot Now, as we read Mrs. Manning’s summary of the results, of the questionnaire which 63 seniors filled out after the ordeal, and as we _ remember their smoking-room com ents after the marks were out, we are fittingly appreciative of their efforts, and their careful considera- tion of the merits and defects of the Comprehensive plan. Last year’s seniors’ contribution to the plan was bigge er, than any the class of ’38 can possibly make; except for one thing, that is, we can work toward the examinations in a calmer and more contemplative frame of mind than they. we should ever work ourselves into than that of the ordinary mid-year ‘From all that has been said to us, we can fee no reason why ah hysterical state any more acute period. There is one kind of encouragement, we lack, however, that many of us feel would insure our peace of mind. We are still. a bit in the dark as to what the program of reading or review is going to be, and we feel that we ought to get under way. In fact, we aren’t even exactly sure what the private reading program is going to be, reading or review. Many of us have not had our first conferences yet; most of us have the apprehensive feeling that a great big program of work is going to loom upon us suddenly after mid-years. Still: we are deter- mined to be stoic, and to progress toward Comprehensives sanely and in our right minds. All we need is some benevolent advice from the faculty, and the reassuring knowledge that work will start soon and that it will not suddenly assume unheard-of proportions late in the year.

His in- itial contribution reached us just at the dead-line, making it. quite. impos- sible for us te amend it, so we print it in a fresh and unadulterated form as follows: My familiar friend, Harry Fried, owner: of the Anthony Wayne and Seville Theaters, has just opened a new Suburban Theater in Ardmore across from Strawbridge and Cloth- ier’s. As far as convenience, com- fort and character go, the theater is a masterpiece, because the rows’ are far enough apart to allow persons to remain seated while late-comers crawl over, them. Also, I hear that there are smoking rooms and lounges for mixed company. The one drawback. is a peculiar but obstinate fear on the part of Mr. Fried of getting good pictures. This can be explained in part by a bitter feud which indepen- dent Mr. Fried has been carrying on with consolidated Warner Brothers, who think Fried’s theaters are too well located for Warner’s conveni- ence. ‘ Meanwhile, Fried refuses to sell his theaters and Warners refuse to rent their pictures. Hence, we get third-rate pictures interspersed with numerous bank nights. My wife says to tell -you that Alicia Marshall has finally had enough sense to move from the east- ernmost outskirts of Ardmore to a building right across from the. sta- tion (P. R. R.). She peeked in the window the other day and saw trays full of wool all around the room. There were also samples of Braemar swagger coats, some blouses, sweat- ers, dresses, hats, and even lingerie. ‘Brackbill’s Market, which was. just east of Strawbridge’s on the other side of the road, has at last given place to a whole row of one-story buildings. which lead up to and con- nect with the new movie theater. Almost all the stores are occupied, but Sara (my wife), says she wouldn’t recommend any just yet because there doesn’t appear to be much there but some fancy names so’ far. are the names she mentioned: The Cake Box (homemade cakes on order) ; Jean Harcum, millinery, dresses; Lois Umbsen’s, antiques, gifts, deco- rating; Corner, vacancy; Llewellyn’s Drug Store (pronounced “thweth- lin”) ; Naomi K. Griffith; flowers; and Parker and Angle, social stationers. Rumors about the arrival of Lord and Taylor’s were unverified by Strawbridge’s disky doorman. He remarked that he had heard some- thing about it earlier, but that noth- ing was materializing. (My wife thinks he is in the sales-promotion department.) = - This is all thenews so far.

They are a common means of transporta- tion here; not only young people use them but respectable older women and even curés,;tuck up their skirts and pedal along the main streets. The city itself, however, is small enough for one to fet anywhere on foot:” It is laid out quite simply, the only diffi- culty being that very few streets con- tinue long in the same direction or under the same name. Most of them are cobblestoned and very picturesque when you first arrive, but hard on shoes and most uncomfortable if you wear high heels. In the old quarter sidewalks disappear. Crooked little alleys run between crowded, dilapi- dated houses, with windows not always on a jlevel. There. are no wooden houseg in Tours; white stone is the rule;but the oldest ones are in queer faded pastels. Some of the streets are picturesquely named, like the Rue du Coeur Navré, or the Rue du Ser- pent Volant. In the residential sec- tions one sees mainly high, bare walls: {the French consider Americans fool- hardy to leave their houses exposed to the street. There are many stores, little dim ones and modern-looking chain stores, but most of the buying and selling is done at the markets which are set up in empty squares on certain days. Each vendor has a little booth under an oilcloth awning and yells at tha passer-by. Fish, sea-food, meat, deli- catessens, vegetables, fruit, cheese, cake, flowers, shoes, hats, dresses, laces, material, thread, buttons, books, pictures, crockery, glassware, copper- ware—everything one can think of is jostled together for the convenience of the French housewife. The stores that tempt Delaware -groupers most, how- ever, are the pdtisseries. Dinner is at 12.30 and supper at 7.30, which leaves a long afternoon in which to get hun- gry. There are more pdtisseries than any other kind of store, and all spe- cialize in delicious little tarts unlike any American kind. Fortunately the French scales are on a different sys- tem from ours. The first week of our stay we were received officially at the Hétel/de Ville. From the outside, the Hotel de Ville is a, pleasant but not extraordinary- looking building. As soon as we walked in the door, however, we were awed by the vast walls of gleaming white marble. Sunday-school fashion, we walked up a palatial staircase, staring at the names of thé Tours war dead cut in relief on the walls. Upstairs. the rooms were still vast and high ceilinged, but no longer-~so_ stony. Everything was sumptuously fur- nished—minutely painted ceilings, heavy draperies at the windows, por- traits of famous men in ornate gilt frames, allegorical murals, rugs. In the room where marriages are per-y formed there hang two fyll-length nudes, quite a French touch, we thought. After we had been properly impressed we were taken to the last roont of all, where a horseshoe table had been prepared’ with cookies and Vouvray wine. white wrapping paper, but garnished with ferns and stemless, zinnias. There we toasted the city ot four in cham- pagne-glasses of golden Vouvray. Grace DoLowrr7 _ CURRENT EVENTS (Gleaned from Mr. Fenwick.) Landon and Hoover have been com- peting to determine whd shall lead the Republican Party. As the candi- date for presidency in the last elec- tion, Mr. Landon is rightfully the titula? leader, but Mr. Hoover claims that he should have more’ Republican backing since he polled twice as many states than Landon. Consequently, Hoover has proposed calling a National Republican Con- vention now to plan for the 1938 Congressional elections. In this way he hopes the party can gain strength for 1940. Mr. Landon, however, fears that this is ‘an. attempt to un- seat him as leader. The ATF.

Then there is her rival Jaquel- line, who cause she is French, and because she.is pure and intelligent, - tlie de- servi kind who determines the coursé of drama by being rewarded or by dying ofs broken heart. i Para- doxically enough, the New York Jaquelline played Diana in the Paris production. Tiens, tiens. We reserved our special enthusiasm for Marcel Vallée as M. Maingot, at- tractively French enough with his be- ret, but irresistible in Scotch kilts. Kit (Jaquelline’s beloved) fishing for cigarettes in the nether regions of a voluminous Greek skirt, had much the same effect. Of course, the best and most unpremeditated. touch is at the end, when Lord ‘Heybrook finally puts in an appearance as—but it is too good to give away.

If you liked Frank Lawton in Da- vid Copperfield, you will think him istic would-be-writer hero, who suc- cessfully resists the siren’s charms. There are one or two breath-holding moments, though, when one wonders how idealism can ever triumph.

In 1936 Belgium left the Locarno Powers and adopted the policy of isolation. Now Ger- many declares it is a mistake for Bel- gium to continue this policy and promises to respect her neutrality. France has also served a notice of her own this week. German papers have recently been accusing Czecho- slovakia of oppressing the Germans in her territory. It is obvious’ to the French that if Germany should ever drive toward the East to take the. Ukraine, Czechoslovakia would have - to be absorbed first. Therefore, France let it be known that she will rescue Czechoslovakia from any at- tempt to crush her. .

The former’s complicated form suggests the presence of the genes, the parts of the chromosome ‘which bear the actual hereditary characters. Pro- teins occur in both kinds of bands, and they concluded that the protein molecules stored in the network of nucleic acid was the material basis of heredity.* Arising from these experiments ‘others -have recently been made. on the mass, shape, and electro-chemical properties of the protein molecule. The .proteins under observation are put in a high-powered centrifuge which rotates at such a speed as‘ to divide the molecule into its ¢om- ponent parts.

The results show that the weights of most protein molecules seem to be simple multiples of the lightest among them. The com- plex protein molecule is probably built up by successive aggregation of defi- nite units. Miss D. M.

For the most part, the books represent work of dramatists who have since been almost forgotten, but who were extraordinarily influential in effecting the change between the Classic drama of the Seventeenth Cen- tury and the Romantic drama of the Nineteenth Century. Among the im- portant sets are: The works of An-. six volumes, Paris, 1772; Theatre by Baron, three volumes, Paris, 1759; the works of Palissot, 1772. Also of importance are the two volumes of Cailhava, De l’Art Com- edie, Paris, 1759, and .the~ collection called Le Theatre Anglais, 1744. ° Added to the books acquired this year is the 20 volume set of Letour- neur’s translation of Shakespeare, Paris, 1776, and it is probably in this set, as Miss Schenck suggested, that students outside the French Depart- ment will be most interested. There is one Seventeenth Century volume given ‘by Mademoiselle Mar- celle Parde, former member of the |" Bryn Mawr French Department and now Directrice of the Lycée de Jeunes Filles at Dijon. regarded by Mademoiselle Parde as a valuable book for a course in Seven- teenth Century literature.

No living person had:ever seen it hung. Mr. Miller was entering at the mo- ment, and was the first to salute it. It had not. been flown for 298 vears. The very name of this new nation was contemporary -books and pamphlets on the Spanish War. Some are defi- nitely propagandist, yet there are others, issued.by a non-partisan’ group of intellectuals in Valencia and Barcelona, which give non-committal accounts of contemporary Spain, some written in English, some in Spanish. Also on the shelves of the New Book Room is a collection of books on China, which give not only the cul- tural and‘ economic developfnent of that country, but also accounts of foreign relations at the present time. Among the more pertinent titles are The Sino-Japanese Controversy - and the League of Nations by Westel W. Willoughby and General Chiang Kai- shek, written by himself and his wife. created too, Czechoslovakia, without a hyphen. The two were to be merged in an indissoluble one. President Wilson was delaying a reply to a communication from the Empire of Austria-Hungary until the Czechoslovak Declaration was issued, and he based his reply in part.on the positions taken in the Declaration. The result was that almost -immedi- ately Austria-Hungary withdrew eae the war. In Philadelphia,- John Wicaiiaater was so moved by the meeting in In- dependénce Hall, of the 12 nationali- ties making up the” Little Entente, that he asked to be allowed to con- tribute the chairs in which the dele- gates» were seated. One of these chairs will be on the platform at Goodhart Hall on Wednesday night. Others were giyen“to the delegates who sat in them, excepts one, which was given tow Mr. Wanamaker. An original copy of the Declaration adopted in Independence . Hall,’ and signed by all the delegates ‘is de- posited there. Mr. Miller, has written four books, many articles; and faced many au- diences in his effort to interpret the objectives which were symbolized in the life and activities of President Masaryk. One result of his activities was the program: of publicity con- cerning the national aspirations of the Czechs, news dropped behind the lines. This definitely accelerated the break down of the armies of the Central Powers. of which was]: Time in Three Guises - During This Period Continued from Page One ever, the synthesis giving us Father Time did not evolve without many vicissitudes. The classic Saturn was dignified and strong, but gloomy. In the early Middle Ages, he was pictured with a sickle-or a scythe. Later, when rep- resentations of Saturn were to be found only’ in mythological and as- tronomical texts, Saturn became the patron of melancholy and fearful genius. He became associated’ with death. He developed from a fantas- tic toa terrifying and repulsive char- acter. In a more or less classicized form his devouring of his children and his castration—phases -never -por- trayed in classical times—continued into’ High Renaissance and Baroque art. : Meee Such was the state of affairs when artists began to illustrate Petrarch’s T'viumphs, which required that Time be shown as a relentless and terri- fying power, conquering. all but eternity. For this purpose, illustra- tors combined the contemporary schol- astic representation of Temps as an abstract entity with the meédiaeval idea of Saturn. This, then, is the origin of Father Time as we know hint—half classical, half mediaeval, half western, half oriental, “illustrating both the ab- stract grandeur of the philosophical - principle, and the malignant voracity of the destructive demon.” This rich complexity of character accounts for the frequent appearance and varied significance of Father Time in Renais- sance and Baroque art. He appears in three important guises during this period: as Time the Destroyer, as Time the Revealer, and as a “universal and inexorable power which, through a cycle of procreation and destruction, causes what may be called a cosmic continuity.” The development of the figure of Father Time is instructive in two re- spects. It evidences the intrusion of mediaeval features into an image which ~at first sight seems purely classical. The figure also. illustrates tle intrinsic connection between mere ‘ “iéonography” and the interpretation of. the significance of essential mean- ings. JEANNETTE’S Bryn Mtg Flower Shop, Inc.
