Fire In Rhoads
Results n$1500
Damage to Hall

Room

Smoke billowed from the maids’
wing of Rhoads Hall Thursday
nizht, April 3, as both Bryn Mawr
and Ardmore Fire Departments
fought to extinguish a blaze on the
second floor.

The fire, caused by cigarette

sparks that had lodged in the
cushions of a sofa, started in the
maids’ sitting room where several
of the maids nad had callers earl-
jer in the evening. \A kitchen man
noticed the smoke around ten
o’clock, and immediately sent in
the two-bell alarm. The fire, how-
ever, had been smouldering quite
some time before it was discovered.
Crowds returning from the Har-
ard and Bryn Mawr Concert at
Goodhart watched the action from
the terraces of the Deanery and
in the driveway.

When the firemen arrived, dense
smoke had consumed the third floor
maids’ rooms and some were throw-
ing the blazing furniture and cush-
ions out of the window onto the
drive. The fire was extinguished
after about 20 minutes.

The room in*which it started was
completely damaged to an estim-
ated cost of $1500. The blackened

Strauss Explains
Hobbes, Classical
Absolutist Theory

Goodhart, April 7. “There are
two chief types of absolutism, the
theologic, or divine right idea, and
the philosophic or J lar idea.”
Thus Dr. Leo Straugy , Professor of
Political Science, | ee School for
Social (Research, opened the Mal-
lory \Whiting Webster lecture in
history on “The ‘Classical Theory of
European Absolutism.”

Illustrating the distinct break
into the modern realm of political
thought and science from the me-
dieval ideas of a supreme Pope and
its product of divine right, Dr.
Strauss emphasized Hobbes as the
first to take a modern view on the
absolute state. Hobbes, he points
out, believed that the best political
order was not probable, but poss-
ible, a matter not of planning but
of chance. )

After Machiavelli’s disbelief in
the possibility of the best political
order, philosophers aimed for a
practical political order on the
basis of how man actually acted.
On this basis, a government would
be formed which would be the ser-
vant of its people. Dr. Strauss
pointed out that Hobbes realized
that a natural law can be deduced
from certain self-evident actions
and emotions of man, not reason.
The main emotion is fear of vio-
lent death. Therefore man is jus-
tified in everything he does to
avert death. Man is given absolute
protect himself from
death.

The most distinctive feature of
Hobbes is his liberal theory on the
absolute right of the individual and
the purpose of the state to secure
this right. Dr. Strauss pointed out
that here we find the change from
pre-modern natural right where
emphasis was on duties, to the
modern concept of natural right
which emphasizes rights.

(Peace is a necessary demand of
natural right to avert death, Dr.
Strauss continued. Peace relies on
security and for a government to
be secure, it must be absolute. The
state, by establishing civil order
and peace, limits man’s fear.

 

 

Harvard Spends Night in Merion;
Receives and Leaves Billet-Doux

by Cecelia Maccabe, ’50

Thursday afternoon saw _ the
scattering of Merion to the farth-
est reaches of the campus as the
Harvard Glee Club descended to
take over. The Merionites, how-
ever, were reluctant to leave. The
long-awaited new couch and rug
arrived simultaneously with Har-
vard, a strange coincidence, and
they ‘were not to have the pleasure
of breaking them in.

‘When 5.30 arrived they were be-
ginning to make themselves at
home in strange and unfamiliar
surroundings, ranging from Pres-
jdent McBride’s house to the hous-
es of friends in the vicinity. (Miss
McBride’s offer of shelter ‘proved
to be a snare and a delusion. It
has since been disclosed that she
exposed her guests to the measles,
contracted by her maid). Sune

Lixistence of God
Proved by Weiss
In New Synthesis

Goodhart, April 1. “The three
traditional proofs for the existence
of God are the teleological, the
cosmological, and the ontological.
Defects can be pointed out in all
of them and we can conclude that
the three of them taken together
prove what you really want: some-
thing supporting the universe con-
cerned with evil and good.” Speak-
ing to a full house of students and
professors, Dr. Paul Weiss, Pro-
fessor of Philosophy at Yale Uni-
versity and former Professor of
Philosophy at Bryn Mawr College,
lectured on God and Evil under the
auspices of the Philosophy Club.

After showing the fallacies in the
most commonly accepted proofs of
God, Dr. Weiss offered an original
proof for the existence of a perfect
Being and then discussed the basic
attributes of God and His relation
to Good and Evil. Dr. Weiss’ proof,
like the cosmological, takes our
own existence as its starting point.
“We are beings in time and as such
facea future.._Our existence _ is
our becoming in that future thus
making it real. At present,”
Dr. Weiss explained, “the future
is abstract; by living we make the
future concrete.” This abstract

A VES.
future constitutes a unity, because
the future is common to all of us.
Unity, in turn, has been accepted
to mean excellence and the good,
since it is a harmony of all possi-
bilities.

Dr. Weiss then demonstrated that
this abstract good which is the un-
ity represnted by the future is not
very good itself. In order to be,
the idea of the good therefrom

must depend on the concrete. It

Spanish Lecture

Pedro Salinas, one of the best
of the contemporary Spanish
poets, will speak in the Common
Room Thursday evening, April

“An Hour of Spain,” and will be
presented in Spanish.

Mr. Salinas has been professor
of Spanish language and literature
at the University of Sevilla, the
Sorbonne and at Cambridge Uni-
versity in England. He has been
in the United States since 1936,
and is now professor of Spanish
language and literature at Johns
Hopkins University.

Mr. Salinas is the author of
many books of poetry and literary
criticism, and a poet in his own
right. His work is known for its
lyric quality, for its restraint, in-
tensity and simplicity, and for the
originality of his approach.

BMC, Harvard
Combine For
Lenten Concert

Stravinsky Choruses,
Bach, Gabrieli
Are Sung

By Ellen Harriman, ’48

On Maundy Thursday in Holy
Week, the Bryn Mawr Chorus and
the Harvard Glee Club gave a con-
cert ‘of Lenten music. The pro-
gram presented a_ surprisingly
rich, varied and extensive assort-
ment, from Palestrina to Stravin-
sky, from a Dutch carol to the in-
tricate counterpoint of Mozart.
Harvard and Bryn Mawr combined
in three long choruses—Giovanni
Gabrieli’s In Ecclesiis Benedicite
Domine, Stravinsky’s “Symphonie
Psaumes” and Bach’s “B Minor
Mass.”

The Harvard Glee Club chose
music which, with one exception,
dated from the 16th century or
earlier. Their first, Hasler’s Can-
tate Domino Canticum Novum,
and their second, Nanino’s Diffusa
est gratia, were exquisitely sung
with what seemed to be great co-
operative discipline and apprecia-
tion of their full harmonic quality.

The Supplicationes from Pal-

estrina’s Litany (1598, one of
the most beautiful passages in
church music, was so _ perfectly
sung that it would have made a
concert in itself. The subtly var-
ied repetitions of Ora Pro Nobis
were particularly satisfying.
After the low-keyed mood of
this litany, the Glee Club sang a
15th-Century- Laude, in which the
man’s soprano part was empha-
sized by a voice—or_ voices—gifted
with that rare intense, woodwind
timbre for which such music is in-
tended. Harvard concluded with a
modern Credo by Alexander Grech-
aninov.

College Will Send
Delegate to ISS

Bryn Mawr will again have an
opportunity to send a delegate to
the International Student Service
Conference, being held this year
from July 6 to 14, in Aarhus, Den-
mark. The Conference will be fol-
lowed by a six weeks “tour” of
Poland, Czechoslovakia, or Den-
mark and Holland—the country to
be selected by the delegate.

A delegate should be either a
sophomore or a junior, who has a
serious interest in international
cultural activities, and who would
be willing to participate actively
in ISS work on her return. Speak-
ing ability in some foreign lan-
guage is desirable, and a fairly
good understanding of one other
language besides English is essen-
tial. A candidate should also be a
person of sore personal initiative,
who will not be floored by a split-
second jump from an embassy
banquet to a third-elass bomb-
damaged railway coach.

March 31. “During the next fifty
years India will probably not -be
as important as other great areas
in the: world, but in a. thousand
years India may assume the most
important position in the world,”
said Mrs. Manning in a discussion
|of India... The next’ fifty years in
India will see a possible civil war
and the country’s resources must
still be developed before India be-
comes a world power. The large
concentration of population, the
character of India’s political lead-
ers who demonstrate a turn of
thought that is open-minded and
the religious and spiritual leader-
ship shown are the seeds of India’s
future power.

(Mrs. Manning explained that In-
dia could easily supply the impetus
for a religious revival and would
be an important sea-and air power
in the case of another war. “The
most strategic points in such a war
would be the islands in the Indian
Ocean around India and _ these
would be held by Great Britain as
long as possible.”

thus is forced towards another ba-
sis. \Since we are entering into the
future as well as existing in the
present, any portion of the future
must be separate and independent.

“The abstract future must be de-
pendent on something not in time,”
Dr. Weiss continued, “and the sus-
taining of the good is God.” “The
abstract good can’t depend on the
present; but since providence is
God presenting the future- to us,
the future may be said to be pivotal
to us and God,” concluded Dr.
Weiss.

The fact that the old theological
doctrine of omniscience which said
that God knows everything that
can be known leads to the conclu-
sion that He is connected with evil
was elucidated by Dr. Weiss. “For
if God knows what can be known
the problem of what could be
known is still unsolved. If he

as the concrete future, he would
know what we are doing and thus
be connected with evil. Therefore,
He must know the future as poss-
ible not as actual.”

In discussing the relation of good
and evil, Dr. Weiss stated that the
ethical good is not the same as the
Divine good. Otherwise acts of
God such as the demand for the
sacrifice of Isaac which seem un-
ethical could not be explained. Dr.
Weiss then distinguished five mean-
ings of evil: religious sinning; vio-
lations of an ethical code; human
disturbances, such as disease; phys-
ical or natural disturbances; and
metaphysical evil. “This meta-
physical evil,” asserted Dr. Weiss,
arises from the good intrinsic in
each _ individual.” The difficulty
lies in the fact that since the good
possesses the quality of expansive-
ness, each intrinsically good: per-

evil.

Red Cross Dance

' Seventy-five girls are needed to
entertain six hundred soldiers at a
dance at the Valley Forge General
Hospital ‘which will be held Tues-
day evening, April 15 and spon-
sored by Bryn Mawr. Compara-
tively little time has been given to
the Red Cross this year and so
here is our chance to do our bit.
The buses supplied by .the Red
Cross will leave Pem Arch at 6
and will return at 11:30. Those
who go are asked to wear after-
noon dresses, and since they will
be guests of the hospital and of
the Army, they must abide by the
rules and not leave the recreation
hall. A charge of $1 will be made
to cover the cost of refreshments
supplied by the Bryn Mawr

 

The week before spring vacation
concluded the formal badminton
season for Bryn Mawr, leaving a
record of three wins and three
losses for the varsity, a clear rec-
ord of three wins and no losses for
the junior varsity, and an unde-
feated season for the number one
doubles team of Nan Garton and
Thekla Wurlitzer.

Miss Grant termed this a “pret-
ty good season,” considering the
varsity players lost last spring at
graduation. Until this year,
Swarthmore was the only team
which had defeated Bryn Mawr.
Only two games were played at
the “home” court, the Merion
Cricket Club, while five were play-
ed on the opponents’ courts. Man-
ager this year was Thekla Wur-

the carol, “Awake thou wintry
earth” and a duet from Bach’s
Christ Lag in Todesbanden, were
remarkable for the energetic yet
sensitive mood which they evoked.

The double octet sang two
rounds, both extremely difficult and
therefore not quite smooth enough.
The Mozart sounded almost pro-
hibitively. delicate and complicated.
Bryn Mawr’s last two composi-
tions, Robert Delaney’s version of
“My Soul there is a Country” and
Irving Fine’s Alleluia, were not on

gram,

The work of the combined chor-
uses was the most striking part of
this program. A brass ensemble
from the Philadelphia Orchestra
played with them in Gabrieli’s In
Ecclesiis Benedicite Domine and in
the final selection from Bach. The
horns had some trouble during the
Gabrieli, but during the Bach they
added considerably to the complex,
massive summation of the second
chorus.

Stravinsky’s Psaumes seemed to

the most diffiicult, of the combined
pieces. Mr. Woodworth directed.
Stravinsky’s strange intervals and
syncopated rhythms contrasted
with the more conventional idiom
of the other music, broadening

»

 

what might otherwise have been a
limited mood. The program as a
whole, thanks to the taste and in-
spiration of Mrs. deVaron and Mr.
Woodworth and the calibre of their
singers, was extraordinarily fine.

by Elizabeth Woodward

America’s foremost authority on young
people’s problems

So nobody loves you, eh? Dates are scarce.
The girls forget to include you when they’re
cooking up excitement. You're left out...
strictly alone and lonely?

Whose fault is that? If you’re so much dead weight, even
a wrestling champ would give you up as a heavy drag. If there’s
no sparkle or laughter in you...if you're afraid to speak out
your ideas or opinions...if you don’t warm up to people...
nobody’s going to know you're around...or care either.

There are two kinds of people, as I see it...the givers and
the takers. There are leaders and followers. There are shy
violets...and the brave who bother to dig into them. There
are live rockets who think up the fun...and everybody who
goes along for the ride.

If you keep quiet, hanging back waiting to see what’s going
to happen ...if you never start anything going on your own...
you're being a sponge. You’re just taking in everybody else’s
vitality, warmth, pep and enthusiasm. You’re not giving out
a thing.

Give out a little interest in what other people think and do,
and you'll find yourself doing it with them. Go out of your
way to be attractive, friendly and warm, and people will want

.to be where you are. Be good-humored, and you'll cheer up
somebody else’s grumps. Do something for somebody...and
your favors will be returned.

Turn your nearsighted eyes out of the narrow confines of
your own alone-ness. Look out...and give out...to people
you'd like for friends. Then you'll find yourself right in the
middle of the goings on... not plunked on the gidelines...the
innocent bystander. :
