The prejudice extends to the study of ancient Greek as a mark of the ruling classes, and that study therefore carries a social stigma, as part of a pass- ing, never-to-be-recalled cultural phase. More important, Greek, because it belongs so completely to the past, seems to have no part in a technological present that has built upon the past, then declared it inferior and turned from it. Science is the idol of the modern world because it promises material benefit to the common man. The rejection of the inferior past is possibly correct only for the technological aspect of civil- ization. However, modern man applies this to everything as a formula of success, and wonders why he cannot improve in a like way on his predecessozs’ art, iI profess to be no wif But, when there’s the spot to hit.

A good example is modern’ architecture, breaking with the Greek order, but not, by this mere discarding, developing a truly American form. Func- tional building and sound engin- eering are not necessarily good azchitecture or a style in them- selves. In short, man cannot “shake off his past by a shrug of his shoulders and make himself a “The flowers that bloom in the spring Tra La Bring promise of merry sunshine.” JEANNETT’S BRYN MAWR Relax with a Book A King’s Story The Memoirs of the © Duke of Windsor COUNTRY BOOK SHOP BRYN MAWR AVENUE Formula for Success Add Katharine Gibbs secretariz] train ‘ng to your college education!

Cwrditaeiases s eeumsses Be § sore & wholly new world out of nothing.” What man fails to realize is that nothing in the inanimate world corresponds to the abrupt begin- ning and end of his own conscious experience. The present cannot be just a point in an endlessly moving stream, for as a point it would have no content. It is rather “an aspect of the entire past moving into the entire fu- ture.’ The mind, by being able to apprehend the past, can stretch back the present, and past influ- ences can operate again. By turning our minds to the moments of surges of great vital. ity in the past, “we can recapture and revitalize their effectiveness, and make them work once more,” unclouding our darkness and re- Actresses Listed For Orphee Cast Orphee .........

Peggy Hitchcock charging our waning strength. “Ancient Greece was one of the phases of extreme: urgency,” and this is the final reason why this phase of the past cannot “be ut- terly disregarded.” Greek is worthwhile for its own sake, and today’s Greek scholar will not be a tragic figure, but a hero whose trust is to bring an understanding of ancient ave to the millions. ERRATA The NEWS extends its sincerest apologies to Barhara Joelgon, ’52, for the misprint of her name in last week’s issue. She hasn’t changed it—yet. Kathy Geib, whose engagement was announced last week, was a member of the class of 1949, not 1950. In Mr. Morris’ review of Coun- terpoint, there were two errors. In the second to the last line in col- umn 3, page 3, the calligraphy of the mamifesta (not manifesta) is under discussion. In the third line from the top of the third column on the fourth page, “in a sense” should read “in another sense” in order to transcribe exactly Mr. Morris’ meaning. Contrary to the article, Janet Leeds is not doing lights for Arts Night. EVETPEVERITTT ITT Ter ET Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests ae S ades of the roarin’ .’ Twenties!
