Goodman Discusses Anatolian Civilization Basis for Later Talks Deri Chronological Development Of Hittite Art Music Room, April 25.—The first of three lectures by Miss, Hetty Gold- man, director of the Bryn Mawr “dig” at Tarsus, dealt with a genéral back- ground for the rest of her talks on Aspects of Early Anatolian Civiliza- tion.~ Miss Goldman began by describing the inadequacy ;of archaeological knowledge concerning Anatolia, and the lack of any comparative study of what was known.” Before the 20th century the bulk of the data came from the excavations of Schleimann at Troy. Since then. Trojan data of that period has been considerably sup- plemented by discoveries in _, other parts of Anatolia, as:'at Tarsus, and by a more careful excavation of Troy itself. In the series of lectures Miss Goldman hopes*to present a synthesis of the finds, and’a study,of their im- portance in establishing a chronology of early Anatolian civilization. In order. to clarify the develop- ment of her subject Miss Goldman began by a brief outline of its chron- ology. ,She explained the difficulty of establishing the origins of the Hit- tites among the earlier inhabitants of Anatolia. Many contemporary schol- ars are linking them with the Hur- rians, a newly discovered people. who inhabited the southeastern part of the country in prehistoric times.

As the time for the next Lantern deadline approaches, we return to the editorial of the March issue. to the idea that wit the«coming of spring, the Lantern declares The-college has become pert intention of dying. Actually, it never does, because the Lantern— meaning’ simply the college literary publication—will not collapse until the campus wants nothing further to do with literary publica- tions. We do not believe that this is likely in the near ffiture. More- over, the present Lantern will not collapke) unless greater college sup- port is given to a rival publication, for the present editors are perma- nently and critically interested in writing. Ideally, we wish that any group with a clear idea of what the magazine should be would: organize and-produce-a_rival_next_year, but from the monetary angle, we doubt if the college and available adver- tisers could support two magazines. This ledds us, with some hesita- . tion, to propose that if. there are any potential rival editors, they should be given a chance to bid for next year’s Lantern. They could collect any writing, done in the past year, wMich they consider “Lan- tern material,” and have this material mimeographed apd circulated so that a vote could be taken by the college. — We propose this vote with hesitation because we do not wish to imply that the college as a whole can or should exercise any control over Lantern editorial policy. No magazine of any vitality will be produced unless its editors’ have a clearly defined idea of what the Magazine should be, and what kind of writing they wish to see” pub- ‘lished. .As a whole, the campus has no such defined policy. | Rather, we suggest the vote only, in the hope that it may lessen present incoherent attempts of the college to change the Lantern. The board now has a defined policy, aiid should not be expected to _ modify it against its own better judgment. But because two maga- Zines are financially impractical, and because there may be—a—clear alternative policy with energetic backers, we think a vote could be P . taken, though it should never be assumed that the elected board must ‘the future mold its particular selections only by reference to college likes and dislikes. The matter now hinges entirely on the ability of some, rival group to concretize a new Lantern before next fall, when the ae must be renewed. No vote can be taken on the present board versus the campus. n Philadelphia Movies Wuthering Heights.

Wide Cultural Outline Second Comprehensi e to Deal With Evolution of Style And Subject. a Students who choose to major in History of. Art are by no means con- fined to those. who have practiced it themselves in some form. Besides a kfiawledge of painting from early to modern times, the” major provides a- rounded picture of the related arts and, of the philosophy dnd religion behind them. Starting next year, every course in the department will be given annually, where previously alternates have been given, with the recommendation hence- forth that majoring students take the whole series. This, with the required course in first*year Classical Archae- glogy, will present’ the whole sweep of the history of art. The major’s principal value. to the undergraduate lies in its treatment of art as a whole phase of man’s sociological ard hu- manistic development. : Next year, Mr. Alexander Coburn Soper, III, M. F.

There is a plurality of logics, Dr. Adler said, which differ formally because they differ materially, but there exists simultaneously ‘one purely formal logic which includes all of these, but which is in itself inexpressible, since to express it one would be forced to use symbols. The art of logic is not independent ‘of the arts of rhetoric and. grammar because.no pure thought exists. There ‘are three distinct types of logics known today: mathematical logic, Dewey’s system, based on. mod- ern science, and Aristotle’s logic which supports his physics. These may be reduced to two fundamental logics, relational and predicational, Predicational logic-differentiates be- tween subject and predicate and em- phasizes qualitative diversity. It has few general rules, but those of infer- ence. Relational logic is based on terms “of relational complexity and does not distinguish between subject and predicate. This is the logic of It postulates linear transitivity and embraces the empirical sciences. “The plurafity of logics is a phil- osophical problem especially appro- priate for our generation,” said Dr. Adler. Not until the beginning of this -century were philosophers seri- ously concerned with a variety of logics. Then Professor C. I. Lewis, of Harvard University, announced a system of multiple logics. Today Dr. Adler believes symbolic logic is only one system in.a plurality of logics. Differentiations of sym- trinsic. By examining previous logi- cal systems Dr. Adler maintains ‘it is possible to prove that since these sys- tems have all been incomplete in cer- ‘ultimate logic is undefinable. ._ To support , this theory one may study the*defects of the Aristotelian logic which is unable to account for mathematics, metaphysics, and histo- rical inferences. Non-Aristotelian logic is deficient in that although it is successful in dealing with modern sciences and mathematics, it fails in respect to philosophic ‘knowledge, theology and history. “Logic is not merely a body of knowledge like ‘the Jother sciences; rather it treats these sciences as they in turn treat material objects. Logic, moreover, includes both science. and art which are different from methodology in that it is not a means knowledge already -known.—-~- Poet of America Chants and Yarns Continued from Page One (2b OU a ea Sa Pennel_ Crosby, ’41 nary means-as ees they are not WOE hs evel vGteu John Hadley he Maiden Lady ...Julia Follansbee, ’41 { ee Stout Aimiable Lady ; Broken eggs can never ‘be mended: Mabel Richardson, 42 they go in a barrel by themselves.

They would, so he opened a closet door and began to take them out, placing them one by one on the mantelpieces. He kept the canvases put away, Mr. Gray ex- plained, and hung them singly so that he could enjoy each to. its full extent, First he brought out two garden scenes by a French painter, Friesz.

Passes Friday night with) the success they expected and well de- served. The effect and illusion they * achieved, however, was not due to play or acting, but mainly to good dirett- ing. The play itself was difficult for amateurs to give. Aside from being a psychological study, it was not well written. The Devil Passes is the - story of the conversion of seven peo- ple to the will of God by the devil, personified as. Rev. Nicholas Lucy. The play tried to be more profound than it really was, and consequently the actors were not able fully to real- ize the type of persons they were por- traying. For -this..reason the play lapsed into’a boring reading perform- “ance at times, especially throughout ‘the prologue and almost tothe end of the first act. Then fortunately all the characters leaped to an un- derstanding of themselves, and for an instant the play and the acting. rose to the highest peak it attained dur- ing the evening. The Devil Passes as a play also lacked all the element of suspense. At the end of the first act, when the curiosity of the audience should. have been aroused, it was perfectly clear exactly what was going to happen. The prologue in itself resembled a|‘ badly written one-act play. The whole play was saved fortunately by rather witty dialogue which at times was almost brilliant. The finest piece of acting was con- tributed by Peggy Copeland, ’42, who, as Beatrice Messiter, appeared to be the only one who fully uriderstood her character. She added a certain spar- kle- tothe “plain Mrs. Messiter that she transmitted to the audience bet- ter than any other actress or actor in — the play. ~ walked on the stage in the middle of the second act until she walked out of the lives of the artists.and writ- ers and Mr. Lucy, she held the cen- ter- of the stage through Ker ‘under- standing of every line, of every change of mind of the old-fashioned minis- ter’s wife. ie Bruce Anderson, as the Rev. Her- bert Messiter, seemed to undérstand the disturbed apostle of God, although he:slipped out of. character ‘at. the ‘ end of almost .every speech. Hé achieved his moment of glory at the end of the second act, when he had a nervous breakdown very. convincing- ly in the middle of the stage. A chill of horror ranover the audience at his shrieks and nee laughter. This. one scene “would e been .the best in the play had “ge char- - acters played up to-him sufficient to maintain this feeling of terror throughout the rest of the scene. 4 < Margaret Perkins, ’42, played Doro- thy Lister, the actress, very well in- ’ deed, aided considerably by her glam- orous hair and clothes. Satisfying the main requirement of the part— an ability to posé—she appeared to stay in character every minute she was on the stage. : Wilfrid Lee Simmons, the bad writer who had_no confidence in him- self, and Charles Swift, the bad painter, created god impressions ‘as casual men with discouraged ambi- tions. Being casua] was comparative- ly simple, since, it consisted only of lighting a cigarette with little effort, slumping in comfortable chairs, , and _ being unnecessarily nice to everyone. It..was easy to see why both of them never would become good artists. ' Of the other three parts in the cast, David Chambliss, as D. C. Magnus, held the honors despite the. disadvan- tage of his youth. He kept in mind his supreme ideal in life, to be com- ___ fortable, and carried off his witty re- “marks well. If D. C. Magnus ‘had been a young. man, Mr. Chambliss would have wndoabtedly stolen the play.

Those who bad a hamburger in the lunchroom got their stories of the town and mines from the pro- prietor and his helper, and an hour later those same people were regaled by the jokes of the “soda dispenser” at 19 Centre Street. These Bryn Mawrters paid for their entertainment in kind. Half the city were convulsed with mirth at the spectacle of a sophomore dressed in plaid skirt and jacket bouncing on the maple bed in the window of an open-all-night- furniture store win- dow. That same sophomore’ had ear- lier: been pushed around the Self- Service Store in oneof those grocery carriers which says ‘You may push your baby in this at your own risk.” The climax of the week-end was reached on Sunday morning when we looked at the coal strippings in an open cut on Summit Hill. Miners standing around told stories of. the mine which has been burning since 1859. Another miner, telling of the cave-in of the overlying rock which resulted’ in the burial of a steam shovel, explained how he had a nerv- ous collapse watching it from above on the ridge. The lunch hour was livened up by’ Frannie Lewis who, having gone to sleep on a diving board, fell into the pool. “I was pushed in by a pussy- willow,” said Miss Lewis. One po- tential geology major has become:a little dubious about her ability to iden- tify fossils...

When forces are not in equilibrium, the weaker side.will be forced to re- main inactive... Mr. Haile enthusiastically support- ed the Thomas Amendment, which gives the President power of discrim- ination against aggressor nations, and was confident that “a return to inter- national law and order would follow if it was passed.” College opinion opposed the Pittman Bill, which al- lows trade to nations at war on.a cash-and-earry basis; and, in particu- lar, advocated the use of boycotts and embargoes against aggressors, with tariff concessions and loans to victims of aggression. Conciliatory tariffs and trade agreements with dissatisfied nations were advised, but by only 4 small majority. The ballots showed the belief that the power of declaring war should re- main with Congress, discarding the Ludlow Amendment which provides for a national referendum before a declaration of war. The Frazier Amendment, making war illegal, was also opposed. One girl, said Miss Axon, had added: “Why illegal? Isn’t there enough the imatter with it already?” The college voted wholeheartedly for the new Rearmament program and for the Administration’s policy of cul- tural, economic and military coopera- tion with South America. It also sup- ported the ballot’s various educational and’ sedition-suppressing provisions for “strengthening Democracy,” and approved, with great majorities, the measures for the “emancipation” of Puerto Rico. Helen Cobb, President of the Peace Council, took over the meeting from Miss Axon and read the resolution, suggested by the A. S.

THEATRE REVIEW One of the most impressive themes a playwright can use is that of: in- fimacy with the great. He knows he has the audience on the edge of their seats when one of his characters casually remarks, “Here comes. Abe priow.”* If he wishes he can build up his hero; but this is usually super- fluous. A famous historic figure is already sufficiently well established. Obviously, therefore, Lenore Coffee and William Joyce Cowen had the audience enraptured from the first moment they mentioned Jesus’s name. Jesus is the unseen subject of Family Portrait, Margaret Webster’s latest directorial triumph which is quietly packing houses at the Morosco The- atre. The Founder of Christianity is shown*through’ the eyes of His rela- tives who, with the exception of His mother, think of Him only as an ex- cellént carpenter and the black sheep fanatic of the family. The authors have made the most of the opportunities the theme affords. The curtain of the first act is. par- ticularly effective. Mary meets the man destined to be her Son’s disciple and betrayer and her faith in Jesus is strengthened because Judas declares he would sacrifice his life for Him. His identity is revealed as the ecur- tain falls. Even more dramatic is the second scene of the third act which takes place just after the Last Sup- per. The set is taken directly from Leonardo’s famous painting, but the chairs are empty, the candles half burnt. “ The audience knows without having to be told what tragedy is ensuing, why: Judas left the banquet early, and what is taking place in the Garden of Gethsemane. One of the weakest parts of the play comes at the end of the second act when Jesus’s youngest and hither- to favorite brother turns against Him. The melodrama here is nerve-;wrack- ing and a little nauseating, but -for- tunately for all concerned Judith An- derson, as the Virgin Mary, preserves the dignity of the play. Nor is this the only scene Which Miss Anderson dominates by the splendor and maj- esty of her performance. Her’s is the most difficult role in the play because she is the only holy character on the stage and seems to represent her Son as well as herself. In the early scenes she acts simply and beautifully. Later, as the tension of the play increases, she appears to be guided by a great force and wears a sweeping Madonna cape during the most impressive scenes, although otherwise she is cos- umed as an ordinary peasant woman. She has a great responsibility and fulfils it with uncanny restraint amd exaltation. Margaret Webster, who-has done, as one might expect, a superb job in directing the produttion, also appears on the stage in the role of “Mary of Magdala. She alone gives a perform-|. Glenn Takes Chafiea Text From | Cartoon Music Room, April 23.—C. Leslie Glenn, Rector of Christ’s Church, Cambridge, spoke at Chapel Service, taking for his text the caption of a‘ Thurber Yrawing in the New Yorker, in which an amorphous lady points to a man, who is obviously deeply preoc- cupied and snorts: “The Thinker! He doesn’t believe in anything ‘€xce facts!” ‘ Death is for everyone«a fact, a factvto be ignored as long as. pos- sible and utterly feared-when it must be faced: One reason for this fear is the realization that there are other facts to be met before death will seem “A inevitable. But if one truly and pro- foundly believes that these other ene- mies can be destroyed, the last and greatest, the fear of death, will also be utterly vanquished. y ance comparable to Miss Anderson’s. Although she does not appear on the stage until the. second scene of the last act, so electrifying is her inter- pretation that in retrospeet_one feels ; she has been spiritually present throughout the first two acts. Miss Webster’s only other appearance as an actress on Broadway was in the Lunt .production of The Seagull last | year, but there can be no doubt she is one of the most talented yotn women working in the theatre today. There are several regretable omis- sions in’ Family Portrait. The authors have prepared a well-written script, but they had nothing to gain by re- wording Christ’s preaching. More ma- terial taken from the Bible would have greatly enhanced the produc- tion. Also, at times the audience may be excused if it becomes impatient with the persistent non-appearance of Jesus. He is described faithfully to us, but when one considers how, de- pending primarily on pantomime, Ju- dith Anderson gives extraordinary re-— ligious significance to the part of Mary, it is understandable why Jesus should seem too shadowy and unreal, a curious, impersonal shade waiting outside the stage door. It .is- not necessary for us to see Him, but we should feel: His spiritual greatness more than we do. Oo. &. af GLAMOUR & FUN Under Summer’s Sun Exclusive summer school Ain North Shore.

We had a few days in October and a week or so at Christmas, but every- thing really stops around here at Eas- Most of the group have gene to Italy, but flitting from one Italian city to another was not my idea of a vacation, so I am staying here in a French family for a couple of weeks to revive my French.

It is fatal, too, trying to get any work done there now that we are begin- ning really to know our way around and to resent the red tape.

Koffka Believes Artist Constrained - ‘to ‘Create Music’ Bion: psp 1 é-In his sec- ond talk on.Some Problems in the Psy- of Art, Dr. Koffka discussed the work of art asa problem with a certain “requiredness” for both the creative artist and the observer. The artist has to submit.to the demands of the problem of creating a work of art. The “requiredness” of the com- pleted work is fulfilled when the ob- ject can produce a force within the observer similar to that power which motivated the artist to create it. Since the artist is forced to submit to the demands of the problems of creating, the ego becomes subservient to the requiredness of the problem. The ego, however, is important in bringing the problem to completion, for it forces the artist to struggle un- til the requiredness has been satisfied. Thereafter, this object which the ar- tist wants to create excludes his ego as much as possible. “The artist creates to externalize and _ eternalize a section of his own world and his position within it,” Dr. Koffka stated. If a greater emphasis is placed upon the ego, then the work of art will only compel the ego more strongly. chao The woyk of art creates'a new ex- perience the spectator each time he sees it. Whereas the creation of art suppresses the ego in the’ fulfill- ment of requirements of the object, true appreciation of art by the. spec- tator can be felt only by complete in- volvement of the ego. The puritanical emnity toward art is based upoh this recognition that the requiredness~ of ego involvement on the part of the spectator forces him into specific ways of behavior, and therefore the Puri- tans considered the artist as a seducer. “Art is. real if it can be demong strated to produce an effect,” said Dr. Koffka. Facing the reality of the work of art is. different from facing the reality of practical life. The world is seen as containing mere facts and requiredness, while the work of art has both contingent and requtired aspects:. In. art, however; the con- tingent characteristics are aubsee¥icntl to.the intrinsic ones, while factuality is, in turn, subservient to requiredness. Purity ‘of art is found when no de- mands reach the observer fromfactors outside of the work of art. / Bad art uses_entirely extraneous appeals. and becomes sensational. Some _ people have considered all art/to be a form’ of propaganda. Dr. Koffka feels that if propaganda means creating a rela- tionship between the object dnd .hu- man beings, then the opinion is justi- fied. When, however, it becomes the duty of the artist to put art into the service of the ideals of a particular cause which will, not be enduring, there all/art is certainly not propa- ganda. “Art, psychologically considered, is not an idle play on the emotions,” concluded Dr. Koffka. “Emotions are often closer to requiredness than is in- tellectual activity. The job of the psychology of art is to say in scien- tific medium what the work of art says in its own language.” trouble, but that is all. Everyone re- sents those who get overexcited in face of emergency. Life in Geneva can be quite a lot of fun over vacation. I find my French family a little dull as all ex- citing topics such as politics are ta- boo: at the table, being of an indi- gestible nature. This is Swiss neu- trality personified, I presume. Any- way, the result has been that this is the: first evening I have spent at home since vacation began. ; I only wish the whole college could be here, too. If it were, though, no one would learn any French, so it’s just as well! . Nancy Howard:Gives Her All foe H : Red Cross Divulges Art of Bath in Bed ygiene; A summons from the Tiicinaty was received early Monday morning by Nancy Howard, ’41, Merion, request- ing her appearance in the Gym for the 11 o’clock Hygiene Lecture, itt pa- jamas., This was the result of her rash offer to play the victim in a Home Nursing Demonstration for Dr. Leary. Nancy accordingly chose a pair of bright pajamas frém a friend’s wardrobe, the better to show off the bandages, and presented her- self at the Gym at 11.05. She found a small amphitheater in- stead of a basketball court, with a hospital bed planted under the eager gazé of half a balcony full of inter- ested students. A smiling, mild Red Cross nurse escorted her to.the cen- ter of the stage and tucked her in, depositing her wounded ankle on a pad with tender precaution. The nurse informed the assembled audience that this was to be not a bandaging act, but a bath in bed, given with only the usual home ap- pliances. A glass of water, two empty and sterilized sardine cans, and a pile of newspapers and towels on a bedside table showed the Red Cross’s conception of What Every Well- Equipped Home Should “Have. A hanging waste-basket was improvised with folded newspapers, a wash basin for.the brushing of teeth was pro- vided by a shiny sardine can. The nurse took ‘the sardine can away and bared the patient’s ‘neck. She proceeded, carbolic soap in hand. She washed to the waist, stopped, be- gan again at the feet—“wash between every toe’2—-and proceeded upwards. Then followed a quiescent period for Nancy while the procedure of wash- ing a patient’s hair in bed was ex- plained, with gestures only. Rest‘ had almost merged into sleep. Nancy suddenly out from the’ protec- tive covers and held her suspended over the edge of the bed while sheets and blankets flapped and unfolded. She gratefully slid back into the newly made bed, only to hear the clang of the 12 o’clock bell. A loud round of applause broke, but the nurse swung Nancy down to the floor again, and the Home Nursing Demonstration was over. Nancy’s only regret was the ab- sence of imposing bandages. Dr. Leary has promised ‘her that next week, if she is a‘good girl and comes back again in pajamas, she will have all the bandages she -wants.. N. E.

After stating that the Neutrality hearings had reached a “status” quo and that although everyone wants peace it has been’ impossible. to agree wae practical policy, Mr. Renwick went on to discuss thepresent Eu- ropean situation. Everyone is wait- ing expectantly for Hitler’s speech on Friday in answer to Mr. Roosevelt’s letter to the axis powers. Meanwhile each of the_ thirty-three countries mentioned in the letter (Poland ex- ceptéd) has received a questionnaire from the German Government asking whether they felt threatened by the Reich. Mr. Fenwick illustrated their. replies by giving as an example the story of the man with a gun in his ribs. Mussolini has denounced Mr. Roose- velt’s action as putting the axis gov- ernments in the “seat of the accused.” He rejected the idea of a conference, but —denied—that_ Italy wanted war, offering as a proof the plans..for a world’s fair to be held at Rome in 1942.

According to Plato, this is ac- tually impossible, since matter and “form are inseparable in the material “world. Concrete art cannot be abso- lutely and formally beautiful, for the perfect proportion or mathematical canon of the human form’ does not exist. It is evident then, said Mr. Nahm, that the ‘beauty of the whole must include a common purpose as well'as a unified formal means. Plato, asking what the element might be that would “make a thing beautiful regardless of time, space, _ or audience, decided on the afiswer: form. Art must have dimensions; it may have an aesthetic or moral end. But it must first have an essence of its own, in order to, be absolutely beautiful, and could never be ‘Tepresen- tative or imitative. Kant, too, denied abaclute beauty _in_ representative art, and eyen in mathematical, abstract forms. This would seem to leave very few objects to fit these aesthetic conditions of art. The world does contain, however, a few subjects which Kantian or Pla- tonic artists may use. allow geometric figures or pure tones jn music for these produce unmixed pleasure. In Kant’s opinion, mathe- matical objects are boring, and there- fore, it is aesthetic objects.that must be judged—by taste. And these -may be found in the natural world, in the unified -forms of birds, shwlls or foliage. Art Must Establish Mood Music Room, April 25.—“The_ end of art is the establishment of a mood, a term adopted becausé it Ymplies a proper combination of contemplation and feding,” said Mr. Nahm, conclud- ing his analysis of the reasons for allowing to a work of art a place in el The artist, he explained, offers the -spectator a stimulus, basically sensu- ous, but calling forth tentative or in- cipiert action, or “empathy.” In the profoundest art, all practical action is ruled out. The artist asks for no action in the spectator’s experience of his creation except the contemplative one of awareness of his work. .. This incipient action, needing only Ht contemplation for its completion, makes the spectator aware of the progress he has made to achieve his present state and leads to an exalta- HENRY B.

The creative freedom of the imagina- tion ‘is carried over into new situa- tions-and images and art become the greatest energizers of man, This “mood” is achieved when the artist emphasizes the sensuous ele- ments of his material in sucha way that they will affect the “life of feel- ing.” This must be his aim rather than the fulfillment of*any incidental although ~it has been maintained that a work of art can be fully*defined in terms of purely non-aesthetic factors. Supporters of this last view con- tend that objects of art have no unique aesthetic function, but are wholly ex- plicable in terms of such non-aes- thetic ends' as truth, communication, social values, or morality. In recent times, this theory has been strength- efied by anthropological and ethno- logical research. Primitive art, it is asserted, was directed solely to non- aesthetic ends. Harvest goddesses were made fat to insure fertility for the ‘fields; night chants were sung simply to ward off death. Mr: Nahm, do not. appear to realize that some works of art are bi-func- ‘ional, with a form and function over and above practical purpose. Whilt, ‘ P ee art has a non-aesthetic function as well as- an nth one, the aes- thetic is not reducible to the non-aes- thetic. Ai The finest art is that which can free the spectator from the nop-aes- thetic interest.» Primitive, art itself shows aesthetic qualities unaffected by the purpose of the object and in- dependent of its function. These, moreover, cannot be explained simply as accidental distortions imposed by the medium, since primitive artists mastering recalcitrant material. | ae, nN, JEANNETTE’S | Bryn Mawr Flower Shop i FLUIDITY ENABLES ME TO EXPRESS MY MOST FUGITIVE REFLECTIONS Bl wiTH UTTER ABANDON ) .

The scenery is imaginative and, say those who know, authentic. Margaret Bell, ’39, insists that she designed it solely on a basis of Ruskin, although she has also seen the pictured junction of the Grand Canal. The sets are complete, except for a rift in a pink plaster wall, which was being patched. The two thrones sitting in the piazza were not part of the plan.
