Goodhart . Hall, March 2.—Those
who heard Andres Segovia, the dis-
tinguished Spanish guitarist, . were
fortunate in enjoying a recital marked
not only -by..its unusual originality,
but by real musicianship. The idea of
a.guitarist’s playing in concert is ar-
resting enough, but Segovia proved
that as much artistry and. musical
feeling can be put into a performance
on the guitar as on any of the’ more’
generally accepted solo instruments.
He has developed a technique which
opens to us thé unexpected possibili-
ties of his instrument. _ Combined
with the traditional languorous: qual-
ity’ which we associate with it, he has
produced many new tonal effects, a
fluid pianistic quality reminiscent of

the. harpsichord, and dynamics. which’ |

one would not think achievable on a
plucked instrument.

In -his program Segovia again
proved the remarkable versatility of
the guitar. Only three works were
written originally for the instrument.
These were a Prelude, Theme and

Variations by F. Sor, ‘a Sonatina by |

Torroba (dedicated to Segovia) ard
an Etude by F. Tarrega. In the Sor
composition, the use of dynamics was
particularly effective, while in the,
Tarrega, a work of apparently great
technical difficulty, there was no la-
boring after speed. The music moved
easily, as in a keyboard instrument,
and was marked by grace and sim-
plicity.

Bach, on the guitar, was a new ex-
perience for many, although the effect
which this instrument produces is
probably close to that which the com-
poser conceived in his work. for the
The contrapuntal ~dif-
ficulties are obvious—one can scarcely
imagine an intricate, four-part fugue
sustained by five fingers alone, as’
would be: necessary on’ the guitar.
However, the Prelude, Gavotte and
Loure which Segovia chose did not
present these obstacles, but flowed
pleasantly, with the restrained beauty
of the. traditional Bach. In the

With the Skill and Emotion
Of an Artist

The Deanery, March 5.— Nine-
tenths of Bryn Mawr missed one of
the pleasantest Deanery events of the
year, the Leg@ue Musicale. It proved
conclusively two things: first, that the
college is -talented-artistically aswell

 

it should be encouraged in such de-
partures from its conservative intel-
lectual path. In short, the League is
to be congratulated—it has scored
something in the way of a triumph.
The Deanery underwent a series of
transformations. To some, ~ perhaps,
this phenomenon passed unnoticed,
they saw’ throughout only easy and
uneasy chairs drawn up and occupied

At first they were unmis-
takably Deanery, but suddenly they

keller and the room itself became very

peasant girls were singing Volkslieder
in native costume, while a belederhos-
ened: youth accompanied them on the
accordion. The youth was Herr

fwitz, Gregory, Herron, Matteson, Pen-
field, Solter and Steele. : They sang
songs which every German lover loves,
and: ended with the merry “yahoo!”

sort -of shout that brings tears of
reminiscence to one’s eyes.

After they had filed out and when
Grace Dolowitz had seated herself on
numbers of cushidns at the piano (is
there no East Indian piano-stool-which
would match the rest of the. Deanery
furniture and could be utilized by our
strange fancy that we were in Wash-
ington’s Mayflower ‘Hotel listening to
one of Mrs. Lawrence Townsend’s Mu-
sical Mornings. Probably evéry city
has its Musical Mornings, so there is
no need for explanation. At any rate,
Miss Dolowitz played Bach’s Prelude
in B flat and Schumann’s’ Ende vom
Lied, and very skillfully, too. The
loud’ applause which greeted her was
followed by the appearance of Harriet
Hutchison, who removed a pillow and
began. Mozart’s Sonata in C major.
It made us wonder even more fer-
vently why people waste so much of
their talent on the practice: rooms in

|MAN_ BASICALLY MORAL

 

Music Room, March 3.—Man.is es-
sentially a moral and a self-conscious
being who, if he is to understand him-
self, must pursue art, science and
philosophy, according to Paul Weiss

who delivered the eighth. and last. of

a series of lectures on The Natwre of
Man. The individual is continually
striving toward perfection; perfection
here. meaning the ability to embody

within himself all reality. Complete
philosophy is. the first step toward

this perfection, but since it has lost.
the details of actual objects it is
necessary to supplement philosophy
with art and science. We find through
these combined methods that we are
most effectively ourselves only when
we act with respect to others. A
man can only be human if he is moral
in respect to his fellow-men.

_If we investigate man perceptually
we find him tobe a collection of
multiple, independent traits. How-
ever, if we view him speculatively
with the insight of an artist, we find

‘| that man’s ‘characteristics are inter-

twined to constitute a dynamic. unity.
When we tiace this unity through-
out our lives, from birth to death, we
find our identity not in external
things, our physical bodies or in the
fact that we are conscious, but in our
ability constantly to evaluate things
in-the—universe according to the way
in which they would make us ‘more
perfect.
Ideas can have two relationships;
one to the objects outside the indi-
vidual, the other to the individual it-
self.’ Ideas ,which directly reflect
man’s inner nature often distort the
nature of external objects. This kind

SPRING VACATION MAY
START ON MARCH ~25

 

 

At a meeting in the Common Room
on March.9, the Legislature voted to
send. two recommendations to the
faculty, one asking that-the beginning
of spring vacation be changed from
March 26 to March 25, and a second

‘that it be changed to one o’clock on

March 25. The recommendations are
the result of the problem arising
from the last day of classes coinciding
with Good Friday, when students who

| wish to go to church are excused

from classes. As a.substitute for Fri-
day classes, the suggestion was made
that the time be made up on the Sat-
urday after. vacation. The reason
that two recommendations were sent,
although most members wished to
have» the date changed to one o’clock
Thursday, is that the Faculty Com-

mittee may feel that an entire extra
day of classes which the second re-
quest would entail is undesirable,
wher. he Friday classes which

would be missed if the first petition
were granted would mean only one
Saturday morning. *

The Legislature also discussed
changing the form of college elec-
tions in order to shorten the time it
takes to complete them and to make
them more efficient. Although a legal
change can only be effected in a mass
meeting of the student body, plans
were considered to have all except
the officers of the four big associa-
tions, elected by the classes they rep-
resent and not by thg entire college.
This contemplated change would
eliminate the évil of voting for un-
known people, sand ‘since the different

classes could vote on the same day | :

without repetitions in the nomina-
tions, it would shorten the time of the

KELBERINE WILL APPEAR
IN ODHART RECITAL

 

~ Alexander Kelberine: who will give
a piano recital in Goodhart Hall on
Wednesday evening, March 10, was
soloist with the Philadelphia Orches-
tra twice last season. He made his
first New York ~recital appearance
since 1932 at Carnegie Hall on March
15. During his career he has been
soloist with Molinari in New York,
with the National Symphony Orches-
tra_in Washington and with the Peo-
ple’s Symphony Orchestra in Boston.

Mr. Kelberine is Russian by birth,
but came to America in 1923 for per-
manent résidence. He was taught by
the fameus Lisztian,- Alexander Siloti.
In 1928 he made his, American debut
with the distinction of being the first
to be presented by the Julliard Musical
Foundation. “At the invitation of
Molinari, he toured: Italy and ap-
peared in Paris in 1931 and 1982. At-
tracting the attention’ of the public
and the'critics in 1932 by his recitals
of Bach ‘and Beethoven, he has com-
manded respect and admiration not
only as a brilliant contemporary mu-
sician, but as a distinct personality
and teacher. Mr, Kelberine will be
heard with Stokowski on April 2 and 3.

Rhythm, Sound Marked :
In Miss Adams’. Poems

Show Original Treatment
Of Traditional Themes

 

 

Lyrics

 

7.—The sense of
rhythm and sound which  distin-
guished Leonie Adams’s poetry was
evident in her reading of her poems

Deanery, Mareh

last’ Sunday afternoon. “Selections
were read from High Faleon- and
Those Not Elect, and several more

recent poems which “have appeared in
periodicals.

Miss Adams writes in the tradi-
tionalEnglish “lyric forms, modified
to give flexibility to her own natural
feeling for music and rhythm. This
flexibility. can perhaps -be
conveyed by the- folowing lines from
her poem Caryatid:

“Not at midnight, not at morning, O
sweet city,

Shall we come in at your portal, but
this-girl, your servant,

Bearing on her head ‘a broken stone

In the body shaped to this :

Poised no less fer the burden now the
temple is fallen.”

Some of Miss Adams’s poets? are
devoted to descriptions of nature in
which her ear for sounds and delight
in color are distinctive. Grapes Mak-
ing, a poem which particularly de-
lighted her audience, has a delicate,
sensuous flavor. which is artificial in
detail -but- real in the mood which: it
conveys as a Sit: Her fertile de-
scriptions of summer and autumn, as
in’ Country Summer or The Rounds
and Garlands Done, have an original
treatment of the traditional. The
nature descriptions have, as in most
of her poetry,.an overtone expressing
the recognition, not necessarily a sad
recognition, of the-mortality of nature.

But it. is not-only in descriptions
of nature for itself unrelated to other
themes*that Miss Adams write’ her
best poetry. In The Horn, written,
prosaically speaking, on the straight-
to-the-grave motif, a sense of damp-
ness and death are contained in three
pointed, simple lines:

“The mist is risen like’ thin bSeath

The young leaves of the ground smell

chill

So faintly are they strewn on deatiy. ‘3
Later in the poem she uses the dark
image of a hare “with a spectre in
his eye” who speeds; unwittingly as
human being, to the snare of death.

It is a pleasure to find a poem such
as‘Send Forth the High Falcon. in

PROGRAM TO INCLUDE _
THREE MODERN PIECES

 

The first step foward the realiza-—

tion of a theater.workshop for Bryn
Mawr will be taken on March 24 by
Miss Cornelia Otis Skinner. At that

time Miss Skinner will return to her

alma mater to give a performance of
her monologues at ,8.30 in Goodhart
Hall. The receipts from the perform-
ance will’ go to a fund for the build-
ing’ of the. workshop. According to
the small committee of Mrs, Otis Skin-
ner’s friends, the new project will. be
called the, Mrs. Otis Skinner Theater

mother, who died recently.

DANCE CLUB TO TAKE
PART IN EXHIBITION

 

 

In keeping with the widening artis-
tic fields at Bryn Mawr, the Dancers’
Club will take part in a performance.
in New York on April 23, at the an-
nual convention of the National
Physical Education Association which
will be held at this time. Represen-
tative groups from twelve colleges in
the east have been invited to partici-
paterin this: dance exhibition, and to
present their type of dancing to the
public. :

As far as is known, Bryn Mawr is
the only exponent of the Duncar
School, although it is of a modified
type in some of. its detail. Basically,
however, the technique.is Duncan.

The-club is also planning to present

a.performance this spring in collabo-
eta with Mr. Wyckoff. The aim of
this production will be. primarilly to
evolve few combinations and  tech-
nique in lighting Hans Schumann,
composer and musician in the) club
has also rked out a.scheme of mu-
sical tone and lighting that the: or-
ganization intends to use.

Election of’ new -members will ‘take
place-some-time—in-the_near future.
Members have been observing pro-
spective candidates in the first year
class for several weeks. It is hoped
that a’. large group can be: incorpo-
rated into the club to ‘further its
growth and maturity.

‘ Constructive Tribute
. The year continties to unroll ‘thrilling new developments. A week
ago, with the news of the definite construction program, hopes were
expressed for many smaller projects to enrich college life. This week
one of these hopes is well on the way to realization. The friends of

Mrs. Otis Skinner, who was long devoted to the welfare of the college,

have commenced a fund—for a theater workshop. Her daughter,
~~“ornelia Otis Skinner, Avill give in Goodhart a performance of her
monologues for the benefit of the fund. To everyone who feels the
great need for a workshop and who knows of Mrs. Skinner’ 8 services to|°
the college this is both exciting and gratifying news.

Big May Day’s present large-scale prodtiction is in great measure
the result of. Mrs. Skinner’s innovations dnd ‘efforts when she was
Director in 1920 and 1924. Until her death last December she was one
of May Day’s enthusiastic, supporters. She instituted pageantry and
the procession which have made May Day the spectacular event it was
in 1936. Her residence on the campus for many years.and her daugh-
—ter’s attendance here have made-her unofficial connections doubly close.

A theater workshop is a most fitting memorial to her and to her devo-
tion to Bryn Mawr.

Not only will the workshop be an appropriate testimonial to a
splendid woman and a friend of the college, but it will meet a great
need which has long been felt. In a theater workshop every experiment
in production and design can be tried, and entertainments can be made
doubly instructive and enjoyable. Those practical and imaginative stu-
dents who see no future i ia science building and an art wing can find
here an excellent cause, and may_ contribute with the sure knowledge
that she will benefit the entire college. :

Time to Vote
When students ‘refuse to exercise a right of self-government,
they repeatedly did in last fall’s elections, it may be a healthy symptom.
For when no amount of cajoling can draw enough votes to constitute a
valid ballot it is clear that, far from being laggards, the students have
taken a definite stand. They are no longer willing-to scrawl an unknown
name across ‘a strip of paper and consider it a vote.

as

Now, before our. important: spring elections and while revisions |

are under way, is the time for su ggestions. Posting names of candi-
dates inthe hall and inviting those nominated for the chief offices to
dinner would offer the interested opportunities at least to identify
their candidates... The News will be glad to interview those slated for
the more important posts. i. .
“Polities!” shriek the horrified. Yet the very accusation admits the
stimulating: possibilities of a revision. “ Wider exercise of. judgment
. would quitivate otherwise indifferent executive forces and quicken the
more apathetic aspects of the campus. Five days would suffice between
nomination. and election*and one efficient balloting will take less time
- than many sloppy. ones. These, however, are negative arguments. ‘

‘Unfortunately, our present method of election makes possible a

-econcentrated_ form of “polities” :—“railroading.” Beeause it is not
active now does not erradicate the fact that it has, been in,the past and
~very likely will be in the future. The unsolved question is not how the
campus can claim its_ privileges, but whether it will be acute ‘enough to
_maintain them once won—whether it will crush any would-be “polities”

guise. sagt :

EDITOR RAMPANT

 

 

 

This college no longer gloats over

militant feminists and ardent schol-

ars because the average young woman
here is just not interested. In this
she is right and she is wrong: Times
have changed but the world has not.

Bryn Mawr’s young women are still
privileged, but they have renigged on
an-old. goal and they have not gone
after a new one. A few go into bet-
tering the world professions, a very
few turn to the. defense of the pro-
letariat. But ail too many of us in-
tend to sit where the sitting is best,
accept whatever privileges we can
lay hands on, and “be © attractive
women. So far so good. But Martha
Gellhorn, ex-Bryn Mawr, ’30;~in this
month’s Harper’s Bazaar has a few
words to say about Don’t Choke on a
Golden Spoon. While most of us are
financially out of the class she is aim-
ing at, intellectually we are on the
spot. In part: - (Ed.)

“", . Tt seems to me, that this
country has an aristocracy, and every-
one knows it except the aristocracy.
An aristocracy has to earn its way,

if-it is-to survive, as any other class|

earns its way. Its job is specific. ~ Its
job is to set certain standards, to open
certain paths, to be a model of g
cious and generous living.

“T have seen sections of. America
(from the city of New York to the
mines of Idaho) which no privileged
person ought to tolerate. I am pretty
sure that a good many women, if they
knew of these conditions, would want
to use their power for change. An odor

of boredom hangs over good works,
and the word ‘reformer’ is a word
which no handsome woman enjoys
having attached to.her name. But
the fault is with the handsome women.
They have let the prerogatives of
their class slip from their hands; they
allow the world to run itself very
well without them. And presently the

world will forget them; because being,

beautiful (a grand thing to be) is not
enough.

“Because of position, charms, se-
curity, the privileged woman is a force
wherever she lives. She can use that
force by simply insisting that shé has
a right to rule. Ruling sounds very
attractive, off-hand like that. In prac-
tice, ruling means work: means, the
effort of study, of knowing what goes
on around you and why; means the
dogged persistence of those who at-
tempt to change or perfect their
world; means, in short, getting right
in there and fighting. The reward is
in the fight, which is good and excit-

ing: and in the sense of belonging, of+

being a powerful and motivating part
of. the society which produced you.

“Politics as a caree?™is open to

women (even rich women): and poli-
tics isn’t necessarily being ambassa-
dor. Politics is being precinct leader

Wintérset. This time Maxwell An-
derson shows that his dramatic form
Lmay be turned to comedy with equal
success. It is fruitless to dispute the
respective merits of these two plays,
but.it is possible*that the* second. isa
greater achievement than the first
and as, particularly during this pres-
ent season, the Shakespearean impli-
cation, is inevitable, it may be of sig-
nificance to note that The Tempest
was the work of a craftsman more
familiar with his. material tien was
Hamlet.

The comparison may be carried
further. High Tor has a wistful, sad-
dening theme: like Prospero, Van Van
Dorn (Burgess Meredith) cannot keep
his haurited kingdom apart from the
encroaching forces of civilization, and

‘the native spirits, a band of ghegf]
Dutch sailors, are frightened
mountain summit by the uns¢rupulous

money-making projects ofa traprock
company. This theme is interspersed
with bits of sturdy, wholehearted com-
edy, funnier, in my mind, than the
most rewarding moments of You Can’t

_| Take It With You. Realism and fan-

tasy, buffoonery and seriousness, the
ethereal and the gross are. inter-
mingled as inextricably as in Shake-
speare’s comedy. Judge Skimmerhorn
and Art J. Biggs, described by his
companion as “a bag: of slops tied up
with a string,” are as incongruously
involved with the legendary ghosts of
High Tor as Trinculo and Stephano
were-with the spirits of the enchanted
isle. It is curious- that one of the
most appreciated scenes—that in
which a Dutch sailor thinks that the
two sleeping business men are some
sort of four-legged monster—is prac-
tically identical with a scene in The
Tempest.

This neat comparison is tempting,
but it*should not be carried too far:
There is a danger of damning High
Tor with the faint praise of compari-
son. As a. play High Tor is not only
an important piece of pioneer -work in

living entertainment which appealed
equally to every element in the audi-
ence. In regard to performance, par-
ticular credit is due to Burgess Mere-
dith, Jo Mielziner and Guthrie M

Clintic who have captured the poetr

of Anderson’s verse in a modern
idiom, and to Harold Moffet and
Thomas W. Ross whose comedy is of
the very highest order. M. O.

 

privileged class is not only a pleasure
to itself but a general service. People
who can think, on facts; can initiate
and\guide and check and shape the
course of events. . Have you ever
thought that no matter if your house
blows off on a high wind coming from
the Dakotas, or earthquakes split the
streets, or war or revolution alter the
world, no one can take away the facts
you know, and no one can deprive you
of the luxury of thinking? ...

“Noblesse oblige is an old-fashioned,
perhaps even dowdy, phrase. But
the folk who invented it were -not
slouches: they knew : perfectly well
that vou pay for. everything in life,
whether it’s a gilded coach or a black
marble bathroom, and that you pay
not only in money. They also knew
‘something else: that as it’s fun to be
privileged, itis ‘also fun to earn the
privileges—by assuming your place
in society. Cultivate “your garden,
cultivate twelve square inches of. any
garden. Look around you at this}
swarming -world which supplies you
with everything from electric light to
silver foxes, and pile right in: It’s
your show....

“If the privileged woman, as such,
is to survive, she .must. learn to rule,
or else she will be ruled out. I
take an open-mouthed vlenaire in
loveliness, and. am grateful—together
with millions of others—for the ele-
gant woman who enters a restaurant
and makes the place shine; (how’s
ours) for. that nifraculous parade of
hurried or languid shoppers, amblings
along Fifth Avenue. I am grateful
for quiet voiees' and serene manners.

Rhythm, Sound Marked

which the oft-used bird features as
an essential part of the poem rather
than as poetic ornament. ‘As an ex-
pression of the descent of the mind
to simple emotign it is one of Miss
Adams’s most unified poems, both in
rhythm and content, and for this rea-
son superior to her ‘much-praised
poem, The Mount. In this the image

her usual sense of rhythm.

It is unfair to give any definite
estimate of Miss Adams’s poetry be-
cause ‘she is still writing. Her lyrics
are sometimes tenuous and incomplete,
but her “rhythmic sense, her evasive
but delicate féeling for mood and her
vigor in Send Forth the High Falcon

At the supper after her reading.
Miss Adams was assailed with ques-

perceptive and amusing respectively.
She feels that the modern trend of

Haniel Long to Describe Method
Used in Own Poetry

 

 

Hahiiel Long, poet and writer,

on Creative Writing. Mr. Long said
that he intends to illustrate the meth-
ods employed in creative writing from
his own poem, Pittsburgh Memoranda, |
the material of which was taken from,
actual experience and which required

tion. :
Another published work of. Mr.

Vaca, which is an account of an. early
Spaniard’s travels ‘through Mexico
written in such a way as to show a
modern person’s points of vieW"6n this
same material. A book of. short
stories called Notes for a New Myth-
ology is no longer in print.

In Santa Fé, where Mr. Long is
now living, he founded the movement
for regional publishing, a cooperative
group of writers who print, publish
and sell their own writings. By using
the mail-order system, authors can
realize, a profit and avoid the over-
head expense of large centralized pub-
lishing houses. -

Poetry has always been Mr. Long’s
chief interest, but ‘after his education
at Exeter’ and Harvard he turned to
newspaper reporting and teaching

Busonj... The playing had hitherto
been gkillful but unemotional, but Miss
Grosvenor contributed the latter qual-
ity to such a wonderful degree #that
the room actually sat spellbound. It
was the same tense atmosphere that
one notices: at the performance of a
great artist, broken only by stillness
and then thundering applause, if fifty
people can be said to. thunder. It was
so insistent. that Miss Grosvenor

ards might call a “new “connotation.”

And now the room changed, we sup-
pose, into a chamber, whatever that

may be, for here was “chamber music”
in its essence. We did not know that
the college could boast of so many
variations of the violin, or.that any-
body-except--Benny:-Goodman—and
members of the Philadelphia Orches-
tra would venture the playing of a
clarinet, but then we had not ac-
counted” for the versatility of League
members. ‘Amelia Forbes, who, as
you remember, manoeuvred the accor-
dion for the benefit. of the eight love-
sick miadchen, seated. herself, ‘still in
lederhosen, in the midst: of a first vio-
lin, a second violin, a viola and a vio-
loncello, played respectively by Louise

to see five people earnestly bowing and

money for its own-uses has indirectly
accomplished a great deal more. There
is nothing more stimulating, for us
and for them, ‘too, than seeing our
immediate ‘contemporaries make pub-
lic use of their hegven-sent talents.

~ Bryn Mawr Varsity: Cveabomnes Moravian;

Second Teain Wins Traditional Victory!

 

Guieabion, March 6.—The Bryn

. Mawr varsity bagle@all team, re-

splendent in new yellow flannel tunics,
beat Moravian, 27-24, in a fast and

“exciting game. The second team won

its match, 23-13.

P
Varsity played very well and at
times showed flashes of brilliant team-

work. The guards were better. than

in any game thus far and used the
zone guarding system perfectly. The
forward shooting was good and they
also played well together. In the last
half the pace grew faster and: specta-
tors of both sidés rose. to cheer their
teams. In spite of liberal advice and
directions shouted to them from the
bitlcony, Moravian could not rally
endugh to overcome Bryn Mawr’s lead.

The second-team game started off
for Bryn Mawr. Few of their
shots wént in, and at the half the

‘score stood 12-7 in favor.of Moravian.

The Bryn Mawr team was completely
reorganized, and in the second half
their passes began to click.
Meigs started the rally with a spec-
tacular overliead shot which landed
neatly in the basket. In the. second
half Bryn Mawr tallied 16 points,
White Moravian could manage only 1.

 

Pembroke West Strikes,
In Noise Ban Protest

Placard Voices ‘General Opinion
“East is a Morgue”

(Contributed in News tryouts)

Pembroke Arch, March 5.—Passers-
through were surprised at-noon today
by a procession of picketers. The
spirited Westernérs were demonstrat-
ing their disapproval of the solemn
Eastern edict of silence which had
resulted in the fining of a citizen of

‘West, Miss Laura Musser, ’37., Miss

Musser had been assessed for noise
to the sum of three dollar d sev-
enty-five cents ($3.75). \
Picturesque and artistic posters pro-
claimed : “East is a Morgue (with a
few exceptions)”; East is East and
West is West, Thank God!”; “Noises
of the World Unite’; ‘Millions for De-
fense—not One Cent for Fines”; and
other sentiments of sympathy for the
victim of Eastern legislation. A plan
was proposed whereby these posters
should be sold at auction, the proceeds
to be used in payment of the fine in-
curred by the noisy native of West.
Miss Lolly Musser, the martyr to
the ‘unspeakable cause of silence, is
said to be contemplating an operation
on her vocal cords. Should this prove
unsuccessful, her course will be that
of resignation to a bitter fate, and
a possible job as conductor on the
Paoli Local or a Barnum and Bailey
side-show barker. In such a case she
expects a recommendation and a vote

- of thanks from the strong aim of the

law in East, which will be, if given,
the second great tribute to her vocal
prowess. Her first triumph came in
her prep-school days when she was
chosen “second noisiest girl,” although
she would have taken the blue rib-
bon if she hadn’t been in the infirm-
ary during the. elections.

The Eastern plaintiffs, not to be
outdone by the.defendant and her de-
‘termined supporters, set up a “relief
kitchen” .under the Arch and served
crackers and water to the picketers.
When the strikers finally retired (for
lunch), inter-hall relations were “still

amicablé,_ and a satisfactory agree-|

ment between offender and offended
seemed probable.

Dr. Wright Drvetiiber: Campuses,

COLORED MOVIES SHOWN

 

 

In his talk on “Campuses in the
Near East,” Dr. Walter Livingston
Wright, Jr., President of the Associ-
ated Colleges, stressed the remark-
able cooperation existing between
these colleges and the people of. the
countries in which they are situated,
and between the faculty and students
of each college. This is evidenced by
the fact that the sons a
of many high officials4re sent: to the
colleges, where, although English is
used in teaching, better instruction j
the native languages is given thajath
the native schools. There are Ameri-
can Colleges in. Constantinople, in
Beiruit, in Sofia, and in Athens. They

auspices of the '
Board, but have always been inde-
pendent ef control by the missions.

Dr. Wright illustrated his talk with.
very beautiful colored .moving pic-
tures, which made one feel quite a
part of each campus, and furnished
visual records of the cooperation be-
tween the different races, which is
further exemplified by the fact that
only one-quarter of the total number
of faculty of the associated econ
are Americans.

Robeft College in Constantinople is
the oldest, for it was founded ‘in 1863,
by Cyrus Hamlin, who had finaneial
backing from Christopher Rhinelander
Robert, for whom the college — is
named. Cyrus Hamlih’s career was
most picturesque; he was a native of
Maine, worked his way through col-
lege by assisting a goldsmith, and
went to Turkey as a missionary. His
method of teaching was unique. The
entire student body which varied from
25 to 75, was taught as a unit until
Easter time, when Dr. Hamlin picked
a small group whom he considered
worthy of being “seniors.” These
students he tutored and examined
himself orally. If they met his re-
quirements, they were given degrees.

+ 88—per—ceyt—self-supporting:.and. the.
Bulgars regard it as one of their own
institutions. The students do much.
of the manual work themselves, for
the cost of living in Bulgaria is high
enough to make it difficult for them
to come to the college at alf.

The College at Athens is the young-
est of them all and ‘is the result of
far-sighted cooperation of Greeks and
Americans. It consist$ so far of only:
one building, where 90 boarders can,
be housed, Benaki Hall nanied after
two great Greek philanthropists. The
boarding pupils represent only one-
quarter of thexstudent body, and it is
hoped that there will soon be room,
for others, since the day pupils find
it very easy to forget the English
they. have learned during the short
school hours: once they“have returned
to their Greek homes. Each college:
in the Near East is supplemented by
a high school where English is taught
to prepare for the advanced instryc-'
tion in the college proper. The stu-
dents in Athens are very proud of,
their heritage from ancient Greece,
and have’ their outings on Mount.
Pentelicus, study on the Acropolis,
and hold track practice in the mod-
ern stadium on thgtsite of the ancient
one. Among the collége’s ardent sup-
porters is the family of the American
Ambassador, Lincoln MacVeagh. Its
Board of Directors includes both Re-
publican and Royalist sympathizers,
so that no matter what-the form of
government, the college always has
friends at court. \

The largest of all the‘colleges is at

1500 students, and it is much the most
cosmopolitan; .there are seventeen na-
tionalities represented on the faculty.
Its president is Dr. Dodge,-who. mar-
ried the granddaughter of the man
who founded it in 1866. Its Medical
School ranks with the best in Amer-
ica, and its training school for nurses
has. made the profession .of nursing
la respectable one for the first time
in Syria. Wonderful work is being
done at the University Hospital, which
includes a very modern dental clinic.
One of the most—important.contribu-
tions toward the work of the Syrian
government and better living through-
out the country is in the field of So-
cial Welfare,

sions which destroy the very possibil-
ity of existence.
lated to external objects may become
trivial. by completely—distortihg the
nature of the individual itself.

Art_gives ‘us the ‘inward nature of
objects, and modern art gives us the
nature of man 4s reflected in the
objects about him. There are, how-
ever, two limitations in art. The ar-
tist_ expends all his: moral energy on
his art and therefore becomés indif-
ferent to other fields of social activ-
ity. This is one limitation, the other
being that art discovers the knowl-
edge of specific entities, discrete tilitts
out of context. ;

The scientist has a wider range of
activity. He prides himself on his
objectivity, and this freedom allows
him to be useful in a wider society,
Even in science, however, there is a
limitation, because the scientist de-
velops only probable hypotheses: by
which it ‘purposes to understand the
universe from’ the base of one fact
or object contained within it.

This gives a kind of spread in
knowledge, continuity: over the uni-
verse, generality, as contrasted with
the discrete, intensive knowledge dis-
covered through art. ies

In order that man may be able to
have knowledge of all that can pos-
sibly exist, art and science must be
supplemented by philosophical specu-
lation. Philosophy: is free from ac-
tion, but its knowledge can become
trivial. Its* advantage is that it en-
ables one to possess the entire uni-
verse vicariously through the medium
of knowledge and enables one to act
morally under a constant and coher-
ent set of comprehensive principles.

Thus, ‘to approach ideal perfection
it is necessary to have a knowledge
of all reality as reflecting the very
being of him who knows it. ,To at-
tain this end it is therefore necessary
to pursue art, science and philosophy:

Basic Distinctions of
Cosmos Found in Man

 

Man is More Than a Complex
Animal, Says Mr. Weiss
In First Lecture .

 

“SPACE, TIME DISCUSSED

 

. Musiz Boom, March 1.—“One ean-
not know what man is unless, one con-
trasts him with. the universe, and one
cannot speak of the universe without
man,” said Mr. Paul Weiss in the fifth
of the series of lectures oh The Nature
Further .we’ must. examine
the nian and penetrate his being to
provide ourselves with the meee
unity which is man. |

Man is a ‘microcosm having the basic
distinctions’ characterizing the uni-
verse. Basic characters are things,
and to be a thing is to exist in Space
and time. Man is*a thing; therefore
mani exists in space and time. Things
exist in Space in two ways, Mr. Weiss
pointed out: either in a space wider,
larger than themselves, or in a space
whieh they exactly occupy.

That man is a special thing ‘is com-
mon serise; but he is also a temporal
being:. time is of the very essence of
being. We, in the present, move into
the future;, but it is difficult to rea-
lize how we do this. According to
~ Decartes, we divide ourselves from
ourselves, because we are always what
we are at a précise moment: I am
completely here; how can I move into
the future? The past is finished, im-
potent, it cannot push us on. No pres-
ent being can lead us into the future.
Aristotle advocated the theory: that we
come into the future because of the
influence of something leading us on.
The man himself is gone, but the
dynamic force, not truly existent, com.
pells him. This belief, Mr. Weiss
showed, fitted in»with the Need theory
of Mr. MéKinnon in which a driving
force compells a thing on to satisfac-
tion of that need.

Temporarily in a physical science is
ah-—attempt-—to—explain entities ‘in_re-
gard to stresses and strains, yet it is
hard to make ends meet. “More than
domination,” said Mr. Weiss, “is
needed to explain the action of enti-
ties.. They are conditioned by the
actual world and the needed world-
needed non-consciously. They undergo
a process, an attempt to work out. for
themselves how to mix the ideas ap-
proaching them plus the brutal facts
about to close on them. A conclusion
is reached .as_to how much. they will
recognize the universe about them.

Entities in motion, following more
or less the same pattern, imdicate
monotonously the same function as
higher entities. Here one explains the
lower in terms of the higher. There

is monotony in the: active mathema-' ;

tician and the creative artist.

In speaking of clusters, Mr. Weiss
spoke of them as made up of aggre-
gates and wholes. They are aggre-
gates when. their parts have a-mini-

existence of a whole has been denied.
Democrates believed. there was nothing
but aggregates-or atoms, the ultimate
indivisible entity. Man can. be said
to be an aggregate. Yet arms, legs,
organs are also wholes.. Man is more
than a thing, an aggregate, or a
whole; he is an organism embodying
a thing. This alone does. not differen-
tiate-him from the animal. But man
is more than a complex animal. That
‘man accepts this fact which he is try-
ing to understand, marks him as dif-
ferent from'the animal. ,

Further differences lie in the fact
that man is self-conscious. He knows
himself to a certain degree and is

—eapable of knowing himself to a
greater degree. Thig“is not neces-
sarily introspection, which is the sur-
face of the mind, but is a process as
it were, in which man feels before he
understands what he feels. Correla-
tive to man’s self-consciousness is his
ability to pursue arts, science and

‘.° philosophy. Art,’ if not the others,

is found .wherever men gather, its
most primitive form being the dance.
It embodies some philosophy and sci-
ence and has some familiarity with
the monotonous structure of the ‘tni-
verse. _The technique of every art is

_symbolic. Man is trying to say some-|

thing transcendental, divine. ‘Still,
primitive man did not people his world
with gods. Nor does he do so now.

It is the non-conscious ideals that

bring forth his response.
Every group of people has its priest
or’ philosopher. They all ask the

nature of existence. , All know some-

wait for a philosopher to tell them,
what they can observe:
only -a vague apprehension of what

said falls short of expressing what is

truly meant. Therefore they do not
understand. Some one is needed and
wanted who can tell them more than
the bare facts. ~

Mr. Weiss then repeated the Gert-
rude Stein line with which he had
opened his lecture, “A rose’is a rose
is a rose is a rose—,” explaining that
it said something significant in. regard
to existence which must not be taken
as a mere movement, a process, a
series of events, but as made up of
things having substantial depths to
them.

To understand what man is, look at
him and penetrate as far as our in-
sight, will permit, concluded Mr. Weiss.
All else is misleading, it cannot pro-
vide a singular-unity which is man,
and contain aspects ‘of wholes. and

Peace Projects

 

Characterized as “the supreme
effort of a century” to rouse Ameri-
can public opinion against participa-
tion in impending European war, the
No-Foreign-War Crusade of the

+ Emergency Peace Campaign stands

ready to be launched on April 6, it
was announced recently from the
campaign’s headquarters. é
Admiral. Richard E. Byrd, retired
Lnayval commander. and explorer, w 0
is devoting the remainder of his life
to te furtherance of “international
amity, will lead the No-Foreign-War
Crusade as chairman, officials of the
campaign declared.

A national broadcast on the night
of April 6, with Admiral Byrd,’ Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt and Dr. Harry Em-
erson Fosdick, eminent New York
clergyman, will initiate the Crusade
whick-will last during April and May.

The objective of ‘the Crusade was
stated as two-fold. It will strive ‘“‘to
make articulate and effective the wide-
spread determination to keep the
United States out of war in Europe
and Asia” and also “to prorvote ways
and ‘means _ keeping this..country
out: of war.’

“Should the United States attenipt
to resist fascism and estrve de-
mocracy in Europe and Asia by con-
senting to go to war as a last resort,”
is a question constantly being asked,
according to campaign officials, and

 

during this Crusade, an effort will be

well as the question, “How can the
Un.ted States, without going to war,
help to diminish the belligerency «of
Germany, ‘Italy and Japan and thus
promote world peace?

In quest of its objeetive to “keep
‘he United States out of war,” the,
campaign, will endeaver-to-cha the®

basic military and. naval policy of the |

UnitedStates fromvone of “prepared-
ness to fight. anywhere on the globe
in protection of American property
and lives” to a pacific policy of “pre- |

only.”

The campaign will undertake to
extend reciprocal trade agreements
and ‘further. other means: of easing

ing this period, it was learnéd.

Another recent activity of the
Emergency Peace Campaign ‘was the

 

unanimous endorsemegt, by. its execu-
tive council, of a ‘resolution petition-
ing the members of Congress to bring
to an end the program of universal
compulsory “military training and
widespread military preparedness in
the Philippine Commonwealth.

. The resolution requested the recall

-of the American Military ~ Mission,

terming its policies as “subversive of
democracy, conducive to the formation
of dictatorship, and disruptive of the
peace of the Pacific.”

Asking for repeal of provisions By

‘which the United States may retain
| naval bases in the Islands after 1946,

the petition requested that President
Roosevelt “‘enter,jnto negotations with
foreign powers Yyith a view to the
conclusion of a tréaty~for the per-

Islands,” as:provided for in Section -
11 of the Philippine Independence Act.
