In each individual person there must be the strength to develop an ethical character and .a moral in- telligence which the entire gamut of today’s problems demands.

Ellen Wells, as president, will be chief organizer and leader of ’52 corre- spondence and reunions. The sec- retary and class editor, Caroline Price, will collect class news and condense it for the five hundred lines allotted to the class in the Alumnae Bulletin. Alice Mitchell has been elected to publish a sup- plementary bulletin next year for the first reunion. Nancy Alex- ander will hold the class purse strings as treasurer and collector. Addie Lou Maucke will be busy next year arranging and _ sched- uling as the first reunion manager. Looks like ’62 will continue to be in good hands! Ching Yuan Merits Prize in Chemistry The Chemistry Department has nominated Ching Yuan as_ the Bryn Mawr College winner of the award given by the Philadelphia section of the American Chemistry Society. Only students from col- leges in this sector accredited by the society, (there are about ten) are eligible for the award. At- tainment of the prize is non-com- petitive, and is given to the senior in each college with the highest maiks. The award was first given last year and Ching will have her name added to the plaque beside that of last year’s winner and will also receive a certificate. Ching has been offered many scholarships for next fall but is accepting a Chinese scholership to Harvard. These are very rare, as only about five are given from all cver the country.

You ought to read French and German and Italian, and try to speak them. If you like lan- guages you ought to use the lin- guistic experience you have gain- ed to learn more languages. They may not be your profession, but they are a delightful hobby. And if in your study of languages and literature you succeed in putting yourself in the place of other peoples, in seeing what their cul- tures and their ideals mean, you will have done something to re- move a barrier which still keeps us as a people in isolation. “Forty years ago we were all of us more or less isolationist and confident of our ability to keep free of the conflicts and tensions of the rest of this planet,” Miss Taylor explained. “Two world wars and the developments of communications by radio and air- plane have produced a revolution.

Its ways are confusing, its slope steep. Every obstacle here is a crisis, and every peak a place of short-lived delight. Fools Mountain is the climb from youth to maturity. Education is one of the forces pushing us up the path, for education is a means to enrich personality. Education cannot be selfish learning, however, for then its benefits are wasted. It is easy for a student who is alone with himself much of the time to look increasingly inward, and necessarily rest a while on the road to maturity. But learning is not introspective at its best. An individ- ual must understand himself to evaluate others’ emotions and opinions, but self-evaluation is only an intermediate step in the process of education. The final goal is understanding how to understand—seeking what people think, and ex- changing ideas with them. Trying to comprehend life and ideals and actualities. The results of formal education are wasted if its seekers] . become absorbed with technicalities. They fail to realize that its importance lies in its potential power to teach a per- son how to think more clearly and how to ascend the rocky slope the least difficult way. The community expects the college graduate to have climbed the barrier of Fools Mountain. It expects education fo produce mature persons who realize the importance of un- derstanding other people. The community looks to learning to produce perspective for its leaders. It is this perspective which we must never lose, for only with it will our formal ed- ucation benefit anyone, most of all ourselves.

Science Students Get Scholarships Tnree young women have won $1000 science scholarships offered by Bryn Mawr College in a na- tionwide competition. The awards, known as the Lillia Babeitt Hyde Honor Scholarships in Science for Freshmen, were won by Miss Elizabeth Dugdale of Ashland, Va., Miss Elizabeth A. Hall of Pasadena, Calif., and Miss Lois Marshall of New York City. The winners, all age 17, were se- lected from a group of 14 final coniestants. The competition, which was open to senior high school girls, required an essay on a subject selected from topics in the fields of Biology, Chemistry, and ‘Physics. The three winning students are now enrolled for the freshman year at Bryn Mawr beginning next September, Miss Katharine E. McBride, President of the Col- lege, has ‘announced. “We are gratified’, said Miss McBride, “by the wide response tv the competition and by the inter- est of so many young women in the further study of science as part of a liberal education”. The funds given to the Colleye by the Lillia Babbitt Hyde Foun- dation, Miss McBride stated, have also made it possible for the Col- lege to aid upperclassmen and graduate students wno can be ex- pected to enter fields in which there is an acute need for trained scientists. Iwo honorary awards of $100 each were given to Miss Anne Ip- sen of Cambridge, Mass., and to Miss Margaret Putney of Dela- ware, Ohio. Honorable mention was ‘received by Miss Toby Price of University City, Mo., Miss Bar- bara Troxell of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Miss Elizabeth Warren of Norfolk, Va. ‘Prix de Paris’ Katushka Can Hardly Believe It!

Tama Joy Schenk Russian Ruth Thomas McVey Spanish Mary Berenice Morris Renee Lorraine Veron A New Internationalism Affects College Courses Continued from Page 1 deeply conscious of international developments and movements. “The new internationalism,” she continued, “has had a great effect on American education. Our cur. riculum in school and college now emphasizes world history and poli. tics, the interchange of ideas and trade among peoples, world move- ments in art and world literature. We are trying in our teaching to promote an understanding of other peoples, their cultures, their atti- tvdes, their values. But at the same time we are ne- glecting the most important mevens of acquiring such an understand-. ing—the study of the languages and literatures which reveal the real character of other peoples. Other barriers have disappeared, but the barrier of language at least’ on our side is higher than it used to be. For the study of for- eign languages has not increased; instead it has diminished. In this respect our curriculum in high school and college has become isolationist in a time of interna- tionalism. : “There is as yet no movement to support the teaching of the great languages of western Europe, the languages which unite us with the NATO community and with Latin America—the nations with which we must learn to live and work if we and our culture and theirs are to survive. These languages are Latin, Greek, French, Span- ish, and German. Some people may object to my inclusion of Greek and Latin in this group,” Miss Taylor added, “and I may ad- mit that I am a biased judge,” but “Greek and Latin are great inter- national languages which embody the common traditions of thoughts and letters of all western Europe and the English-speaking world. “This is a time when our rela- tions with Europe present a press- ing problem, and there is reason for speedy action. There isa na- tional emergency.” M. A. Temple University 1948. Sara Carolyn McDermott of Alexandria, Virginia; A.B. Duke University 1950. Florence D. Rose of Bala-Cyn- wyd, Pennsylvania; B.S.

Dow, M. A. Professor Richard Bernheimer’s Wild Men of the Middle Ages, a study in art, sentiment, and de- monology, just published by the Harvard University Press, enter- tains the reader, while at the same time it presents a scholarly view of the theme. The book deals with the history of wild-man folklore, emphasizing its place during the Middle Ages, but tracing its con- nexion with Ancient mythology and the later changes it underwent during the Renaissance. As the author states in the preface, it is often necessary to fill historical gaps by resorting to more recent observations, a method which, in the case of the wild man, demon- strates ‘how persistently older ideas maintain themselves against modification from contact with higher cultural developments. Fre- quelit references to works of art and literature—poetry, romance, manuscript illumination, tapes- tries, decorated chests, woodcuts, sculpture, and the like—are used as a basis for mythological ideas, as well as proof of their popular- ity in the everyday life of the Middle Ages. The subject is treat- ed according to motives, centering around the natural history of the wild man, his mythological char- acter, theatrical embodiment, ero- tic connotations, learned aspect, and his position in heraldry. Not Quite Human Figures related to the Mediaeval wild man recur in history since Babylonian times, culminating most recently in the modern version, Tarzan. A creature a little less than human, and yet above sheer beasts, the wild man exhibits a life devoid of inhibitions, and guided by instincts rather than volition. He was the product of individual and social factors, the idealization of man’s repressed desire for un- hampered self-assertion, able to call up forces which civilized men repress. His history reflects the way in which he was regarded by Mediaeval times, gradually chang- ing from a fearful hairy creature of violence and lust to one gro- tesque and pathetic, a figure for mockery and laughter, as man be- gan to feel his own superiority. At first the wild man was a terrify- ing ogre, but as his qualities were localized, he became a demon of the storm and the elements, ad- justing himself to a life in the woods akin to the animals which he regarded as his charges, and over whom he had great mastery. Widespread in Mediaeval Europe, this notion of the wild man in our day has survived most vigorously in the Alps. His most famous ap- pearance as lord of the beasts oc- curs in the Arthurian legends of Celtic territory, but whether or not this, or a common pagan back- ground is the root of the idea is difficult to determine. Prof. Bern- heimer suggests three centers of possible influence, the Alpine area of “Dietrichs Drachenkaempfe”’ Celtic Brittany, and the Welsh and Cornish scene of Arthurian his- tory. Silvanus and Maia The wild man Silvanus also has affinity with Orcus, the Italic god of death and the underworld, while his feminine counterpart, the wild ‘woman or earth goddess Maia cor- responds to Lamia, the child-de- vouring fiend. Thus the wild peo- pie acquired a dual nature, being both demons of the fertile earth and ghosts of the wunderworid. thereby connecting the ideas of life and death, since on the one hand they cared for animals and advised humans on the planting of crops, yet on-the other they were characterized by horrible ugliness, cannibalism, bad temper, and a wilderness - habitation, combining botii sides of their ‘personalities by their overpowering strength. The cult of the Mediaeval wild- man, the test of the importance of the mythology, produced perforn- ances. which can be grouped into several categories: those of mere- ly mythological significance; those known as the wild-man hunts, in which his whole existence is at stake; and those where he is thc icader of the Wild Horde; as well as ceremonies commemorating his marriage with an earth demon; and mumerous wild-men dances. Charivaris are also related to these practices. The types of rituals referred to in historical sources are unfortunately not al- ways clearly determined, but va- rious ecclesiastical judgments give evidence of their popularity. The ritual figure of the wild man as we find him in the later Middle Ages would seem to be a thir- teenth-or-fourteenth-century con- vergence of the forest-dwelling woodwose and the human imper- Continued on Page 4, Col. 3 Bohemian Beetles, Freudian Flamingo Anamalate Library A Mr. Bryn-anda Mr. Mawr, on the steps( of M.

Life's Absurd. ‘Traditionalist’ Recalls Disrobing Rash Unravels Mystery of Our College Cults A traditionalist arose from the gowned senior class and tried re- peatedly, if futilely, to light the lamp of learning. The Bettman mortarboard impeded Linda’s work on the stepladder and had to be carried carefully down to the Gym steps. But there was a slip of pa- per in it that had to be retrieved on another trip. On the third at- bempt the light was reached, but refused to burn. Only slightly daunted, the “true traditionalist” returned to the steps and lashed (verbally) the “vulgah” speechmaker who would sell gimmicks to help one through college. Worse yet, she added, the speeches of the past three years had been on the same vulgah, vul- gah plane ‘here had even been a rash of disrobing. “The year I came Miss Manton got out of a trunk and took off her clothes. Someone came out of a building and took off her clothes. I,’? she added, “am a tra- ditionalist!” Stripped down to working clothes (flannel and striped), Lin- da approached the problem of mysteries on campus. The mystery for juniors is comps, but this is really not much of a problem, for the word is merely an abbreviation for non compis mentis. For the sophomores there is the major, “a thing that makes you exist instead of live, according to arbitrary rules”, For the seniors, whose name really means seen-and-done- yers, there were a few definitions: 1.) “Graduated—what engagement ring sizes are”, 2.) “Job—what you have the patience of to get one”, and 3.) “Scull Property—that peculiar property of the college to beut you over the skull for fun”. There was one recent addition to the list, “Fractured French”, which went nicely with orals and M. Gonnaud. The mystery of body mechanics required more than a verbal de- scription, and necessitated the re- moval of a layer of clothes. In tunic ‘Linda stated that the fresh- men need to regain their poise, anu until they do, body mechanics gives them a topic of conversation for use on blind dates. More of a mystery was the May Day dress, white, fitting, and re- laxed, and exploited recently by certain nationally known maga- zines. But fertility cults have ex- isted for years, and the while dress remains a mystery. The final problem was the sen- ior costume of shorts and some- thing {bluish-purple and limboish, which 'was deemed appropriate for the singing of the concluding aes- thetic song written in a blue book, “Diplomas Are a _ Girl’s Best Friend”’, by Patricia A. Troxell, Instructor in English Literary editors of magazines are certainly the most eccentric people in our fast disintegrating world. They do look, in their es- sential reality, exactly like the de- lightful cartoon on the first page of the Spring Counterpoint. They are perhaps more like the defiani- ly crooched lowest one, with its underwater viewpoint, than like the other three. A New Yorker cartoon on something contempor- ary can be almost too well-pointed for laughter, and so can this one if I do not keep a strong rein on my emotions. For my experience with college students has usually been that they live and operate with far more good sense and good taste than people ever do once they are out in the world. I had therefore expected the editors of an under- graduate literary magazine to be less eccentric than their counter- parts in the world at large. A col- lege literary magazine, it seems to me, ought to publish the best student prose and poetry—and I like the phrase “new writing” and all that that means—in order to bring as many good student writ- ings as possible to completion (in that marvelous print no typewrit- er can supply, before a wider au- dience than one’s own corridor). Sometimes a product by someone not a student demands to be prini- ed, by the unassailable law of art, and then, of course, it must be. i would rather, otherwise, see a col- lege magazine filled with student efforts, especially, since its circu- lation is largely, if not wholly, intra-mural to begin with. Editing Varied But the editors of Counterpoint are as eccentric as any other edit- “Hi-all”, drawled Rat Ritter, arriving on Dalton green leading and sometimes led by a segmented horse. Pointing to her trusty steed. she introduced him as ‘Cleodobbs’, a somewhat precarious combina- tion of Cleo ‘Wells and Helen Dobbs, and sauntering back ard forth with the horse, proceeded to sing a cowboy song to Bryn Mawr to the tune of “On Top of Old Smokey”. In publishing this song Cowboy Ritter would like to pay special tribute and give thanks to her horse. Inside Pennsylvania In a small college Arc six hundred students All seeking knowledge.

Their selection and their ed- iting have been sometimes good, and sometimes doubtfully good, and sometimes crazy. The poetry, most of “Mother-of- Pearl,” the implications of “Young Orion,” and the idea that caused “A Day,” are good. I liked the imagery of “Hudson,” unbelabor- the river wind, for example, that “lov- ed unobtrusive, and fresh: ed green forests well.” The image in the last verse is extended in the of jaggedly manner that is exciting poetic ex- sort associational perience.. Hudson’s “failure,” here dignified into ‘myth, made me think, interestingly, of Willy Lo- man. “A Stone” is a little ballad on the ultimate death of the fire that goes too far. In an overreaching arc the star goes out, as intensest wisdom and beauty do, and speak- er and reader confront a “spark- less stone.” An endearing poem, though too much in the manner of Robert Frost to have in it more than one reading’s worth, I think. The sestina has an unnecessarily self-effacting title. Echoes in it of Villon, Donne, and Eliot enrich echoes The poem is remarkably tne texture, as _ literary should. skillful and effective. The young speaker, feeling in his twenty-first year at once old and renewed! (al- though more age-wearied than re- genc rated, our era being what it is), could not have expressed this involved and involving sensation in any other poetic form: revolv- ing imagery and “rhyme” scheme enforce the experience. “Mother-of-Pearl” “Mother-of-Pearl” begins in a most promising way—in the tra- dition of The Soul of a Child, only, at first, better. But the story grows less original as it develops, and the ending won’t do. The lit- tle chattering child is good as the Greek chorus kind of figure who never will realize what has hap- pencd, but the lady must not be mad or suicidal—she simply for- got her parasol, I hope, and such prociivities of hers were what her husband could not stand. He is stiff, and stifiy drawn — well drawn. But their relationship would have been more meaningfui and more absorbing had it been delicately complex, not _ stark.

I don’t: even like Hem- mingway on horses, so I skimmed on until the rabbit appeared. I would like to see the writer (her pseudonym is silly, but “Y. di Lexi” is worse) treat the same theme again, for it is worth the search that art can give it: the theme of man’s irrational, intoxi- cating passion for the hunt, espec- ially when the hunt is persecution and the odds are in his favor. But the ending of this story, though a fitting one, is not well written. Wricing is a hard task. “A Day” could have tolled a warning to us all, except that its style is too slick. (“Sculpte, lime, cisele,” said Verlaine). The tedious courze of a day of weakness enduring and enduring under pressure gives to college life a symbolism I had never seen in it, but I shuddered as 1auch at the inadequate crafts- manship as I did at the alarm clocks lacing up the hall. There are some selections of doubtful virtue in the ideal maga- zine I insist on keeping before me. "The -Raincoat” is sweet, and evokes a terrible moment in the life of any woman, but it does not achieve the quality of what I have termed “new writing.” The same could be said for “The First Stage” (and editors, dear editors, why two stories of such familiarity?), ex- cept that the moment of the kiss is strikingly last three paragraphs succeed ‘so, the final sentence is totally unnec- good. Because the essary. Half of writing—I am full of advice—is in the knowing what not to say. Crazy choices of the editors’ were crazy but not downright rep- rehensible, so I shall assume the interrogative mood. Why did some- thing as easy to write as “Morn- ing Song of Sen-Sen” earn ten pages, and thus a disproportion- ate position in the magazine? Otzie of the primary duties—and I have heretofore thought it the primary urge—of editors is to cut. I im- mensely enjoyed the first para- graph of Part III, but dozed after that. {Why was, not the obvious- ness of “Conversation,” otherwise a wise if overly glib little piece, pointed out sternly to its author? Why was not “The Actor” turned pack for revision and reshaping? Its reversal of the top-of-the-hill theme might have been done somewhat better. And why print a story, readable as wondrous Miss Farr’s was, that has, after all, been published once? I seem to have had it in for ed- itors.

The wildness of the wild man in- cluded everything beyond a Christ- ian norm, and grouped him with savage creatures both at home and abroad. The diligent encyclopedic scholarship of the Middle Ages continued the traditions of Class- 1cal antiquity which regarded as wild men all creatures whose mode of life was inconipatible with civilization, labelling them demons if they lived close by, members of fabulous races if they dwelt in far off lands, and prehistoric if they were believed to have died out in the long ago. Yet, besides the tales of strange races in foreign lands, and the traditions of myth- ological wild folk—centaurs, sa- tyrs, and fauns—the Greeks and Romans passed on Hesiod’s Gold- en Age, inhabited by a vegetarian type of wild man whose natural goodness leads him to a°life with- out possessions, burden, or toil. This was a dream-image, however, which the Middle Ages, for moral reasons, preferred to transfer to distant lands like India or Ethio- pia. It was not until the sixteenth- century wild man of the Renais- sance that the noble savage of an- liquity clearly appeared in Christ- ian civilization. From his first de- piction as a veritable devil, he now had become a gentle and enlight- ened paragon of virtue, able to be good without effort, since he was oeyond original sin. His attitude towards women was' as ambiguous as the rest of his personality. As a wild man, he was capable of every approach ex- cept that of knightly admiration. The antagonist of the knight, with whom he fought for the possession of the lady, he was always the los- cr, as long as the knightly ideal was upheld. But there was a ma- jor turning point in European civ- ilization when, after the middle of the fourteenth century, the wild man was sometimes the winner of the battle. This is also the period when an uninhibited wild man was Character of Wild Man Proves Ever-Changing; Harsh Role Modifies to One Evoking Sympathy depicted as tamed and fettered vy the charms of his lady. The analogy is that of the lov- er’s wildness abandoned under the force of his lady’s fascination. The conventions of courtly poetry were gradually fused with the mythol- ogy of the wild man until the fourteenth century. The cause of this reversion to primitivism lay in the escapist desires of the con- vention-bound aristocracy, aided by the rise of the Bourgeoisie. Identification with the wild man became the embodiment of human sensual desire, a new role which brought him closer to his final ab- sorption in the mythological satyr, during the Renaissance. Similar- iy, the concept of the wild woman changed at this time, and these transformations were slowly ac- companied by a new attitude to- wards marriage as well. As an heraldic figure, the wild man was again an invention of the fourteenth century. Im this cate- gory he was made to assume the subordinate role of shield-support- er in an artistic design, though his application to this function doubtless arose from such things as his talismanic potentialities. Yet it was in this capacity of shield-bearer that Albrecht Durer presented the most powerful ver- sion of the wild-man theme. His ‘Coat of Arms of Death” of 1503, made in connexion with a wedding feast, is an allusion to the ever- present power of Death in the very figure of the man whose presence at the wedding scene is needed to assure later progeny. In this print, ‘Durer was the only art- || ist who realized the paradoxical potentialities of the wild man, in whom he contrasts so intensely the powers of creation and of de- struction. This short review is able to con- vey only a sketch of the ideas which Prof. Bernheimer develops a and expands through many illus- trations in art and literature. The subject, a product of pagan Medi- aeval fantasy, is presented with a|§ liveiy enthusiasm and a keen per- ception that makes the book not only enlightening but a real er- joyment for the reader. _ es ni tent ESE ON RSET EER HAS NN CREAN 4 UNUSUAL GIFTS The Mexican Shop, Inc.

Harry Emerson Fosdick Shows Necessity For Great Individual Faith in Troubled Times Continued from Page 1 came the spirit of free man exem- plified in the French Revolution, yet Rousseau referred to that very “the rottenness among which we live.” Because tations are no longer isolated but are now striving for a oneness of the world, we must have the faita of our forebears, and posterity will see our age as a great one. Dr. Fosdick concluded this point by recalling a pertinent hymn which phrases the paradox in which we live: “we are living in a grand and awful time’, but it also concludes that in it “living is sub- lime.” The application of moral intelli- gence, not prostituted knowledge, to our every problem, is the sec- age as great No. 42...

Camel leads all other brands Sy bi//ons ond quality Dr. necessary to every person. From Francis Bacon to the present, man has become gradually more depen- dent on science for his salvation. Emerson Fosdick believes that inexhaustible scientific power has been placed in the hands of a hu- man race “whose ethical characier is no match for its mental inven- tious.” “The road to Hell is pav- ed by good inventions.” Science and Religion, as seen by Dr. Fos-. dick, have progressed through four steps, in the Western World. 1) Science was originally in bond- age to man’s Religion; 2) Science: then broke free and won the right to seek and apply Truth; 3) Sci- ence and Religion finally met in an rsey Pauline uneasy compromise. Religious scientists and scientifically minded men of religion rivaled each other in trying to meet the human need; 4) And now that science has given us unparalleled powers to use and misuse, it is no longer an enemy or competitor of religion, but is in dire need of religion. Dr. (Fosdick believes that science would say to us “in God’s name take me seriously and get control of what I’m giving you.” From these points, Dr. Fosdick’s conclu- sions were the 1) Our salvation is not in Science; 2) we must have a moral revival; 3) no moral revival is possible without a living reli- gion. This need of a vital religion which must save us from cynicism and defeat was Dr. Fosdick’s last and most required quality neces- sary to every individual. Religion cannot be true and be the retreu or hide-away it is for so many “modern” men. Although society voday is blamed for retreating into any intangible abstraction such as music or art, in addition to reli- gion, Dr. Fosdick named cynicism as the present most common re- treat. He gave as an example es- pecially familiar to us the colleg- ian who will give the world one more chance, and if nothing hap- pens, will go listen to good music. Vital religion is mecessary to batile cynicism. Dr. Fosdick em- Phasized that this religion within @ spiritual world from which we would tbe able to attain both pow- er and peace. (Whether we con- sider it the spirit within, as Paul did, or the secret communication with God within a closed closet that Christ practiced, it must pro- duce the difference im each of us as an individual that will equip us with tools to produce the drastical- ly needed difference in the world.
