XXIII, No. 23 Copyright TRUSTEES OF BRYN MAWR COLLEGE, 1937 * PRICE 10 CENTS Peace Council Led By Francis Deak And Mrs. Wootton Speakers Advocate an Analysis Of Motives Behind Wars And Arbitration tT PEACE BALLOT RESULTS ARE READ AT MEETING} Goodhart Hall, April 22.—Taking as a general. subject what we as mem- bers of an academic community and as citizens of the United States can do to further the cause of peace, Mrs. Barbara Wootton, British economist, who is delivering the Anna Howard Shaw Memorial Lectures, and Mr. Francis Déak, expert in the field of international law, spoke to a large group of students and faculty at the first college meeting held under the auspices. of the newly formed Peace Council. Miss Esther Hardenbergh, ’37, presi- dent of the council and presiding of- ficer at the meeting, introduced the speakers. She expressed the hope that what they had to say would stimulate peace discussions: on the campus and make it possible for the college as a whole to take a more intelligent stand on national and international affairs. Explaining her own difficulty and that of her entire generation, “les mutilés,” in speaking about peace with the proper academic detachment, Mrs. Wootton. said ‘that our main job at present is to achieve the same critical and constructive attitude toward the problem of war that we are using in our domestic problems. She attempted to make more concrete some of the generalities of the péace question which aré often overlooked becausé of emotion or a tendency to loose sight of essentials in an endless machina-. tion. of detail. «That peace is the-opposite of war, that all political teaching is close.to savagery, containing large magical elements, and that war is not pre- vented merely by the erection of ade- quate machinery for its prevention are three facts which Mrs. Wootton believes must be more generally re- alized before there is peace between the nations of the world. In addition we must analyze the social, economic and psychological motives of war, and bend all our efforts toward an elimi- nation of the conditions which result in conflict. ee Freedom, democracy, even justice, Continuea on Page Five Left to Right: Cornelia Kellogg, ’39, as The Mikado; Jeanne Macomber, 37, as Pitti-Sing; Helen Lee, Yum-Yum; Doris Russell, ’38, as Peep-bo; Terry Ferrer, "40, as "40, as Ko-Ko and Donald Farrow as Sword Bearer. . @ Princeton Conference Covers Literary Fields Delegation Had “No Aim” Except Exchange of Experience * Princeton, N. J., April 24.—Prince- | ton University welcomed delegates yesterday to an Intercollegiate Liter- ary Conference which is believed to be the second of its kind ever held. The aim, said the chairman, Thomas Riggs, Jr., ’37, was that “there was no aim,” except the exchange of experience in collegiate literary fields. Two general sessions and two round table discus- sions were held today and yesterday. In addition to the delegates from about 20 colleges and ‘universities, Princetot had also asked a group of prominent men in the fields of editing, publishing, drama, poetry, novel and short-story writing and journalism. Among these guests were Gelett Bur- gess, Leland Stowe, Babette Deutsch, Lincoln Kerstein, William Carlos Wil- liams and Joseph Freeman. The Bryn Mawr delegates, Agnes Allinson, ’37, and Janet Thom, ’38, attended the two sessions of the journalism conferente, where Leland Stowe, correspondent- at- large for the New York Herald- Tribune, was the guest. At 2 p. m. Friday the conference began after general registration with a meeting in Whig Hall auditorium, and speeches by Thomas Riggs, Pro- fessor Hoyt Hudson and Dean Chris- tian Gauss. The first discussion ses- sions were held from 3 to 6 Friday afternoon, and the dinner that eve- ning was, at the Nassau Inn.

Henry Seattergood, treasurer of the Board of Trustees of Bryn Mawr and chair- man of the Board of Trustees of Hampton Institute, three. members of Bryn Mawr attended the 69th Anni- versary Celebration of the founding of Hampton Institute last weekend. ’ Clara Hardin, graduate student; Alice G. King, ’37, and Lucile Sauder, 39, were the three Bryn Mawr representa- tives and were joined by Mrs. Barbara Wootton. on Saturday. Hampton, the first vocational school for Negroes, founded by General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, has grown to tremendous proportions and is now one of the. most beautiful and noteworthy colleges ‘in the country. Exhibitihg true Southern hospital- ity, students, faculty and administra- tion officérs did everything to further the enjoyment of the 100 oy more guests. at the celebration. The entire college was on exhibit; ‘students cheer- fully gave up their rooms to- visitors, “stopped clas®work, both in the Phoenix training school and the college proper, to direct and-explain; campus organi= zations prepared interesting programs and the famous Hampton Quartet, in all its glory as a sextet sang on sev- eral occasions notwithstanding the > strenuous tour they had just com- pleted. A~highlight of the anniversary ex- ercises was an address by Dr. Am- brose Caliver, Negro education spe- cialist of the United, States Bureau-of Education, on the Educational Needs of the Negro. Although Dr. Caliver’s text was concerned primarily with-the Negro, much that he said is pertinent to all education. The following ex- cerpts, reprinted from the Southern Workman, illustrate this point: “Now is a new day in the life of the Negro, because ,it is a new day in the life of the nation, and Hampton, like every other educational institution, for white and colored alike, must recognize its progress in terms of the requiremenés of this day.” A more sympathetic attitude is necessary toward the vocational school. “Education through occupations com- bines within itself more of the fac- tors conducive to learning than any other method,” he stated. Many work- ers are needed and must be trained in the new methods. They must be versa- tile and. wef. sp cialized, and must be able -to correlate those things whiets, they have learned... Adaptation, emo-+. tionally, intellectually and physically, is required of those who would suc- ceed today. Further, théir education should and must develop a creative imagination with which students will ‘have the means to “create new jobs AO RS SFE NOME MEE LTR Se REI SRP LISS a ae eae ee Oe Continued on Page Five. , ae British Unions Show Moderate Attitude Workers’ Greatest Achievement As Day-to-Day Defense _ From Injustice VIOLENT STRIKES CEASE Goodhart, April. 19.—In the. fourth Shaw lecture, on Workers’ Organiza- tions: wAchievements and Problems, Mrs. Barbara Wootoon showed: the middle-aged moderation of the British Trade Unions, which are an estab- lished part of society. “The unspec- tacular, day-to-day defense” of the workers from little injustices #¢ per- haps their greatest achievement,” con- cluded Mrs. Wootton. The fact that all.workers’ organizations are formed, supported and lead by the workers was also stressed. Intellectual rad- icals have little part in them. The enrollment in unions is about, a fourth of the British, workers. The number of membérs does not increase quite fast enough to keep pace with the population increase, but the unions have steadily gained in internal strength and efficiency. Their power is evidenced by the fact that no or- ganization dealing with workers in any way would be formed without union members, and no labor législa- tion would be drawn up without con- sultation with union heads. ~ The Cooperative Society is the other great but unobtrusive workers’ or- ganization. Distributive stores, to which 40 per cent of the wage-earners belong, are run by the elected repre- sentatives of the consumers, to whom the profits are returned. Every mem- ber has a single. vote, regardless of the’ number of sharés he owns. society also holds “classes” for house- wives to enable the women ‘to escape the home routine for a little. while and take part in valuable discussiogs on education, child phychology, hous- ing and economics. The non-militarism of British trade unions as compared with those in the United States is due chiefly .to the close connection of the unions with the Labor Party, a constitutional opposi- tion group. The party will not risk unpopularity resulting from small agitations and strikes, often: fruitless, but rather waits until it has a firm majority in Parliament and _ then makes fundamental reforms. Also British unions won long ago most of the rights for which the “infant” American unions-are now crying. The Trades Union Act of 1927, passed after the general strike in 1926, forbids sympathetic _ strikes, strikes to force any political agtion and restricts picketing. As Mrs. Wootton explained in the discussion in the Common Room, this law would simply be overridden, sif there were rampant discontent and desire for an- other general strike, but it does check x sega Violence. The unions _have—enormous_ control over peaceful working problems. Many of them have judicial functions, some administer rélief and carry “out other government activities, and all play ‘a vital part in: every agreement on wages, hours and conditions.

Radnor, April 21. — Miss Munoz, a Spanish social worker in Philadelphia, traced the history of the war in Spain, showing the political Inez pfeceded the rebellion. In speaking of the. present situation, she dealt mainly with the spirit of the govern- ment forces, of the international corps of volunteers and of the members of fascist -countries, unable to partici- pate in the Spanish war, but protest- ing the rebellion in Spain from their own countries. Miss Munoz stressed her conviction that the war in Spain is not a,war of Fascism vs. Com- munism, but Fascism vs. Democracy.

But in spite of such unavoidable reaction, most people will agree that the operetta was a Pe a project from every point of view. Although its annual occurrence robs the excellence, of the event of any significance worthy of important comment, it is valuable to emphasize that it has achieved the acclaim of this small campus and its visitors, and that it seems to deserve the unequivocal entbusiasm it aroused even in its preparation. : A college-as small as this has difficulty supporting many extra- curricular activities handsomely, and the Gilbert and Sullivan tradi- .tion provides a frivolous occasion impressive enough to be long antici- pated and reniembered by everyone concerned. It is the focus of inter- est for the dramatic, aftistic, and musical here, as well as the big annual project for members of construction and light committees and numerous enthusiastic volunteers. logical as well as financial advantages. On the other hand, perhaps the failure of the one-act play plan for this spring was in part due to the fact that it seemed not important enough for the time necessary. The college is always willing to saeri- fice time for spectacular large events; but without a longer college year, it seems more and more likely that projects of special interest to a few will not receive enough practical support to make them worthwhile. The senior class seems. likely in the future to-confine itself entirely to comprehensive preparation, and even professional entertainment on campus receives lamentably little support. Our time is becoming so short that the prospect of circumscribing our unacademiec college life begins to threaten. we Neither Here Nor There In our opinion our “peace strike” compared favorably with the nation wide’ demonstration ; for in ours the speeches were presented from amore detached point of view than theirs appeared to be from: newspaper accounts. Ours lacked the fervor .which marked those, in New York, but in this avoided the militant peace resulting from clarity of direction attitude Mrs. Wootton condemned. : : ““The speakers suggested intéllectual and economic ways to check war, such as groups of international economists to review. world prob- lems or international arbitration. In New ‘York, as a contrast : “Speak- ers at several of the rallies denounced Chancellor Hitler of: Germany, Primier Benito Mussolini of Italy, and General Francisco Franco of .

May 25 begins the Devon Horse Show, widely known throughout the East and in the horsey parts of the West. Kor Weeks ahead of time Lan- caster Pike is the scene of a box-car trail conveying startled horses to their temporary stables. The show is undoubtedly a big event and should be good relaxation between exams. If you desire a certain amount of exer- cise, you might apply for a job serv- ing lunch to the judges. They are not too particular—and it’s quite worth your while, for, after the hectic ||luncheon hour, you may roam at ran- dom over the show grounds watching the horses or buying hot dogs, as you prefer, ' This year Valley Forge Military Academy’s crack cavalry troop will add some militaristic: precision on Saturday, May 29, and the following Monday, which will be the last day. If you’re uninterested in horses, as so many people are who appear at: horsé shows in full regalia, you may possibly find opportunity to test Dame Fortune (that vacillating fiend). Two years ago chances were sold on a cot-| tage furnished by Good.Housekeeping. Last year it was a car furnished by My, Ford. This year it might be any- thing—even a Japanese cherry -tree. Sometimes’ they have puppies and kittens for sale. -Last May we were passing a rather large basket which concealed three or four kittens, when the man in, attendance asked us if we knew the kitty in the C. & O. (Chesapeake and Ohio) ads. Of course we did. — Well,. right there in the basket was the brother (or sister) of that famous model who spends her sleeping in luxurious train berths. Also at the show is a whole row of shops.where you can buy anything you want—clothes, plants, furniture or-food. We neglected to say that the horse show’s surname is And Country Fair. Maybe that will ex- plain these little distractions we have been talking about. We might. add, personally, that except for the haunt- ing voice in the megaphone, we like the distractions-best of all. In conclusion we point significantly to the fact that the horse show is given for the benefit of the Bryn Mawr Hospital. We need say no more. The plans for his year’s show are well under way. All we have to do now is pray for clear weather and a good exam schedule.

It is a play full of inter- esting people, offering equally splen- did opportunities either for well- worked-out characterizations or for embarrassingly bad acting. It de- mands professional treatment (which is by no means synonomous with Broadway) and it has received it. The current production, which arrives in Philadelphia on May 10, is of con- It is worth while to do a little name- listing.

Kent Smith was a good-looking and not too unsympa- thetic James Morrell, but he was pompous enough and_pig-headed enough to justify the, Shavian irony inherent in the play.

A straight part requires a subtler, more subjective kind of acting, and while the sense of the entire play is bound up within it, it is by no means as spectacular as some of the supporting parts.

Although students do inten- sive work in the German language, they have a very good’ time doing it. Frequent excursions to places” of ‘in- terest, such as the Bavarian Alps and informal meetings with German youth give opportunity for learning conver- sational German as well as the more formal work.

You either cook your own food or buy it for 75 cents a day; overnight at the hostels costs 25 cents, so you can easily man- age to live on a dollar and a half per day. We sought information on the hostels themselves and received vary- ing reports.. “They are wonderful— the nicest people I’ve ever met’? and “You simply must go ‘to Keswick ' (pro- nounced Kesik)—they have a marvel- ous one there.” On the ‘other hand, we were told, “The beds—like rdcks, but. you hate to leave them when you are Kauled out.at 7-a. m.

SPANISH PLAY GIVEN IN- CERVANTES’: ‘HONOR As an informal celebration ‘of the 300th anniversary of Cervantes’ death the Spanish department and students will present’ a performiance of a *one- act farce by Cervantes: in the Com- mon Room at 7.30 Friday. It is called La Cuerva de Salamanea, and is- what is known‘in Spain as an entremes, or entr’acte. The’ story deals with a ruse by which a young student saves ‘the repu- tation’ of ‘the wife of old :Paneracio when he suddenly enters in the midst of a clandestine banquet. The old man is made to. believe that the table with the two guests. concealed under it has entered the scene by means of a supernatural power. The cast of the play is as follows: Leonarda; De Lancey Cowl, ’39; Chris- tina, Phyllis Barrett, ’38; Sacristan, Ruth Lilienthal, ’40; Barbara, Isabella Gaud, 40; Estudiante, Juanita Eu- ster; Leoniso, Mary.

Guidance. of the indi- vidual and society is necessary. The curricula of the schools must be re- vised. ¥ Following Dr. Caliver’s excellent address a memorial tablet was un- veiled in Kelsey Hall, the new girls’ dormitory, to its donor, Clarence Hill Kelsey. The. Hon. W. Cameron Forbes, former Governor-general of the Philippines and Minister to Japan, spoke briefly of Mr. Kelsey’s services to Hampton. Friday evening’and Saturday morn- ing the work of the Trade School was on exhibition. Here the aim of Hamp- ‘ ton—to educate the hand, heart and mind—was ably demonstrated. . Work of the printing, carpentry, tailoring, architectural and engineering depart- ments was shown, along with exhibits .. of every other conceivable manual art. In every shop the visitors were wel- comed by the students and shown the prepared exhibits and made to feel completely at home. In ‘retrospect, the Trade School ex- hibit epitomizes~what ~Hampton~ sig- nifies for, the:Negro himself, and for the #est of the world which will profit by his training and contribution. A dramatic, musical-and dance pro- gram-on Saturday night presented an- other side of the institute’s life. Here again the students displayed their ex- ceptionally high grade of work. The one-act play was the acme Of amateur perfection, the choir, like all Hampton singing, was -excellent, and the Qfe- ative Dance Group presented ‘some- thing new and refreshing. Throughout the anniversary activi- ties student panels presented varying aspects of the’ work. The Negro in Science, Religion and the Negro, Op- portunities for the Negro in Agricul-. ture, Business and Trades were some of the topics discussed. All were handled in an able manner, with a degree of poise, competence and ma- turity not often found in the average college student. Addressed by Dr. Moton, one of the first. graduates of Hampton and. the present president of Tuskegee, chapel Sunday evening was a fitting conclu- sion to Hampton’s 69th birthday cele- bration. All of the guests felt some- thing had been gained by their four days on the campus. An insight had been obtained into one of the miracles of this day: the development from slavery to a first-class, progressive college in the space of 69 years. How- ever, the goal is far from reached. Though the pace is fast, it is not fast enough. White understanding and en- lightenment are the accelerators need- ed to advance more quickly toward the goal.

The per- sonification of countries and the police analogy are equally dangerous habits of thought into ich the peoples of the world have fallen), Considering France as “La France” and England as “England” rather than as groups of individuals, tends to obscure the facts, and this is a potential source of conflict; whereas the applicatiqn of police terminology to a situation which is essentially dissimilar to that of law breaking in an organized state is dan-| gerous because of the inevitable con- sequences of its inappropriateness. All that a body such ‘as an interna- tional police. force could do would be to visit the Sins of the guilty on the innocent. Mr. Déak, speaking specifically on what the United States can do for peace, attributed the futility of peace ‘measures up to this timé to over- simplification in the treatment of causes. He believes that despite her distance from the theater of war, the United States has an enormous influ- ence as well as a great deal at stake ties.

Princeton Conference Covers Literary Fields : Contirfueatrom Page One Theatre Intime performance of Strind- berg’s The Father followed, which most of the delegates attended in groups. .The next morning’ the con- | ference sections met again at 10. 30 and a last general ‘session took place early in the afternoon. The speeches at the end of the con- ference expressed confidence that the contacts and exchanges of experience resulting: had been profitable, They recalled the’ first Intercollegiate Lit- erary Conference at New Jersey Col- lege for Women last spring, and indi- cated that the special practical prob- lems of the student writer which were considered then would be the most sat- isfactory basis for-discussion at fu- ture conferences. The program of the current meetings had been valuable, but rather too general. At two sessions of the journalistic round table the Bryn Mawr delegates discussed present-day problems of newspaper reporting and editing, the freedom of the press from ‘censorship or prejudice and its responsibility to its readers. Mr. Leland Stowe, of the New York Herald-Tribune, conducted both meetings. . He answered many questions about his experience as a foreign correspondent during the last several years. Apropos of “coloring”’ of the news in accordance with an edi- torial policy, Mr. Stowe said,that he granted that he is prejudiced against the liberals, his articles have been . written from the liberal point of view, _ definitely opposed. to that of the paper itself. Dorothy Thompson is another employe of the Tribune who opposes its policies. Most of the students at this. diss cussion felt that the United Stateg - press should accept responsibility to “mold” public opinion, but that this should be done more subtly and effi- ciently than it is now. Mr. Stowe felt that most people pay little attention to political news and less to editorials and read the newspapers for its fea- tures. They accept the opirions of é columnists rather than editorial writ- ers because of the personal touch, and he thinks that the present trend is definitely toward personality © in journalism.. Another reason why peo- ple read newspapers superficially is that headlines often tell the whole story. Mr. Stowe thinks the English type of provocative heads maké the paper more interesting. . Mr. Riggs, the chairman of the con- ference, and several of the guest speakers made much of the fact that the modern undergraduate with lit- erary ambitions is being enequraged by faculty members, editors and pub- lishers. Some of the guests empha- sized this-by—inviting the delegates to contribute to their publications.
