VOL. XLVII, NO. 16 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1951 Copyright, Trustees of” Bryn Mawr College, 1950 E. Bishop Wins Ist L. Donnelly Award at BMC Fellowship Recognizes Distinction Of U. S. Poet Om March 10, an American poet, Miss Blizabeth Bishop, of Yaddo, Saratoga Springs, New York, was hamed the winner of the first Lacy Martin Donnelly Fellowship for creative writing at Bryn Mawr College. A grant of $2500 will be -given for the 1951-52 college year. ‘Miss Katharine EL. McBride President of the College and chairman of the award committee said that among the candidates for the fellowship were women writers from the United States, Great Britain, and Canada, and that Miss Bishop was chosen “for her dis - tinetion as an American poet.” Un til recently, Miss Bishop was con- ‘sultant in poetry to the Library of Congress in Washington, D. C. The fellowship was established last fall in memory of Miss Don- ‘nelly, who died in 1948 after serv- ing for many years as a member ~-of the Bryn Mawr faculty, and who was credited with creating at Bryn |: Mawr a hospitable atmosphere for young writers. Miss Bishop is the author of North and South, a book of poems published in 1946 which won the Houghton Mifflin Poetry Award and which led to her being regarded by some critics as one of the outstanding American poets of her generation. A new volume of her poems, some of which have appeared in the New Yorker, the Partisan Review, and the Na- tion will be published next fall. Miss Bishop is a native of Wor- cester, Massachusetts, and was graduated from Vassar College in 1934. She held a Guggenheim Fel- lowship in poetry in 1947. $1800 was made net profit from the sale of tickets to Fac- ulty Show. Approximately $200 came in from the auction of posters and assorted objects dart, making a total of $2000 to help pay for the Scull prop- erty.

A vote will be taken as to whether or not a change in this rule is necessary.

The petition is as follows: “We, the undersign hereby petition that whenever lege grants extra time after 4 dance on campus, this additional time should be granted to every- one, regardless of attendance at the dance. Although the rule, al- lowing 8:80 permission only for those attending the dance, was originated to give those people some extra time after 2:00, we suggest that it be amended since as it stands now the rule is often either broken or evaded.

Manning Heads Discussion Panel Tuesday, a town meeting on United States Foreign Policy, sponsored by the (World: Affairs Council of Philadelphia, was held at the Ardmore Junior High School to discuss “Russian Aims and the Chances for Peace.” (Dr. Holland Hunter, Assistant Professor of Ec- onomics at Haverford and Dr. Donald Horter, Assistant Profes- sor of Political Science at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, spoke briefly on the subject. Mrs. Helen Taft Manning moderated the dis- cussion. Dr. Hunter said that the basic aim of Russia is to free the world from capitalism, by spreading Communism. The only way to do this is by war, but Russia must wait for the best opportunity. This gives the United States a chance to create favorable situations.

The “Tragedy of Tragedies”, starring Suzie Kramer as the durgen hero, and Katchie Torrence as Huncamunca, the ae quote Mrs. Marshall, is to “hit the high spots and hope for the best”. One thing the actors have in their favor is their delivery,— almost every line is distinct, and straight faces in the humorous lines are, for the most part, main- tained.

He felt that what he was really to speak about was ‘How can Religious Experience be Put on a Reasonable Basis?” Dr. Noble began by saying that one cannot prove experience such as love or beauty, or friendship in the cause and effect way of the scientifically-minded, and neither can God be proved scientifically.

Tom Thumb, Continued on Page 6, Col. 4 Horton Declares Belief Needs No Intellectual Test “Can a religious belief be intel- lectually valid”, was the question posed as the topic of discussion in Common Room last Thursday night at 8:30. Dr. Douglas Hor- ton, who led the discussion, ans- wered shortly, “No, it can’t”, and explained his answer. “God”, he said, “does not respond to the senses or the brain”. The sense that there is a “self - conscious will”, a “person behind the uni- verse”, comes to a man, and re- ligion, by which a man finds a tie to God, cannot be defended on logical grounds. Speaking of the difficulty of describing God, Dr. Horton how one could describe the sun to a blind man, and pointed out that man expects too much of religious experience—an experi- ence which is fundamental, not ex- ternally emotional. Dismissing the question of the existence of God, Dr. Horton went on to explain the need for belief in God. “A helper in time of need”, he said, is not the. only function of God, unless you mean need in a “fine, large, human way” —the “need to create and make a Continued on Page 2, Col. 5 Faculty’s Skill, Wit, Work Win Highest: Praise From Those Cheering Ibid, Addams, Comp.

Kind Hearts Expose Hidden Talent | In Show | Specially contributed by Joan McBride, ’52 The martinets of Bryn Mawr College and many kind hearts ap+ peared on Goodhart stage last Sat- urday night to present the Faculty Show to one of the largest and most enthusiastic audiences that has ever attended a production here. Kind Hearts and Martinets con- sisted of a series of skits, present- ed with extraordinary wit and skill ‘}and beautifully organized by the show committee: Miss Lang, Mrs. Nahm, Mrs. Dryden, Mr. Adama, Mr. Dudden, Mr. Janschka, Mr. Parker, and Mr. Thon. The total impression was one of enthusi- asm and delight, acting ability heretofore undiscovered in our col- lege generation of four years, and superb senses of humor on the part of all the participants. The opening scene, a faculty ta ble at the Deanery, attended by a chorus line of waitresses and com- plete with a “floor show” of kick chorines, set the lively pace for the rest of the show, which, although almost three hours long, never dragged, even during the scene Continued on Page 5 ,Col. 4 Tillyard Will Tell Shakespeare Value Eustace M.

The topic of the lecture, which will be followed by a discussion in the Common Room, is “What Do We Really Get Out of Shakespeare?” Mr. Tillyard, who has been Mas- ter of Jesus College since 1945, has been a lecturer in English since 1926. He was educated at College Cantonal, Lusanne, and Perse Col- lege, Cambridge, and was a schol- ar at Jesus College. In addition to his scholarly work, he served in France in ;World War I, and was later in the intelligence corps. Continued on Page 6, Col. 3 Abstract Emotion Patterns in Music Found by Philos. Club Speaker Pratt Specially Contributed Music has been called the lan- guage of emotion. Carroll C. Pratt, head of Princeton’s psychology department, who spoke last night in the Common Room, sponsored by the Philosophy Club, disagreed with the theories usually presented to account for the emotional impli- cations of a work of art, though he agreed that a relation between art and emotion exists. His dis- cussion was limited to music, but he held that his arguments would apply to the various fields of art. A work of art cannot be said to “embody” emotion; emotions can exist only within individual or- ganisms. It is sometimes accurate to say that a work of art arouses emotions, but such a statement is not universally true. Moreover, if the arousing of emotion is to he the criterion of a work of art, then that work will exist on a level be- low many ordinary events. The theory of empathy—that the indi- vidual erroneously ascribes to a work of art qualities which he himself originates—is also inade- quate . For instance, perception of motion does not depend on the motion of the eye. On the theory of empathy the quality of the work of art can rise no higher than the Continued on Page 6, Col. 4 Page Two ¥ THE COLLEGE NEWS _ Wednesday, March 14, 1951 THE COLLEGE NEWS FOUNDED IN 1914 Published weekly during the College: Year (except during Thanks- giving, Christmas an Easter holidays,. 6 Tear (ex examination weeks). in the interest of Bryn Mawr College at the Ardmore Printing Company, Ardmore, Pa., and Bryn Mawr College. ..- -The.

Professors have bowed for the last time; they are no longer Roman statuary or rambunctious Indians. Faculty Show itself has bowed out for a time, but the good feeling, the recognition “This is our -faculty—they are human!” will last for a long while. : There is no question that students feel nothing but re- spect and admiration for professors cavorting and having much sophisticated fun on Goodhart stage. It was good to see them last Saturday, for their obvious enjoyment and en- ‘thusiasm flowed warmly over the footlights, contributing a contagious personal touch to a show that was beautifully subtle, spontaneous, and screamingly funny. It was wonderful to see professorial ability blossom into -Jiveliness and wit, to find dexterity of word and action behind academic dignity, to come upon twinkling eyes and light steps where perhaps impressive intellect alone had been seen prev- . iously. Faculty Show brought a new kind of respect—the kind ‘ that. comes from the reminder that teachers are more aware _of the students than is generally recognized. It is respect that springs from the genuine pleasure and heightened es- teem that a faculty-presented, student-appreciated effort can produce. - -And so the students of Bryn Mawr say sincerely to their faculty, “Thank you.” Students, Arise! ; Look at the mournful unwashed countenances propped up at the breakfast table; nobody speaks, nothing registers. After all, it’s forty minutes before that nine o’clock class. Do you wonder that only a few objectionably aggressive individ- uals can dress and attend the Wednesday morning assem- blies at a quarter before the lethal hour?

Time and ef- Current Events professor of'.Political Science from | lege Russian program, gave the Current Events speech on Monday evening on the subject, “Can We Negotiate With Russia?” He di- vided this controversial topic into two alternatives, short term or long term arrangements. He felt that any short range plans for peace, involving necessary conces- sions on each side, would be use- less except as a breather since Russia would then apply pressure in other parts of the world and the negotiations and concessions would have to start again. But he thought that permanent peace is a possi- bility if the United States can have enough potential power behind her to keep the Russians scared of starting aggression. If the United States went to the conference willing to make con- cessions to Russia regarding Korea or Formosa or the Chinese Com- munists in the U.N., they would have to realize that the Russians would only approve our demands, such as easing the pressure in Western Germany, making an Aus- trian peace treaty, or settling the Trieste question, if they thought these represented another step to- wards the goal of world revolution to communism. Dr. Michaels stressed especially the firm faith they have in their system, not only as the only right, just way of life for themselves, but also as the basis of furthering mankind in the world. Therefore they are creat- ing areas of tension to prepare for revolution by building up their military power, maintaining active propaganda machines, and man- ipulating world affairs so as to weaken the economic strength of the United States. On these terms a short range peace plan is impos- sible. The only’ alternative, Dr. Michaels thinks, would be for the U.S. to be backed strongly enough by military and economic power to support an “enforced peace” where each country stayed within its own boundaries. Otherwise he feels there is no chance of ending the cold war. Gottlieb Explains N.S.A. and Origin Ronnie Gottlieb discussed NSA at this morning’s Assembly, first outlining the Association’s origin: student representatives from Am- erican colleges attended the World Student Congress in Prague in 1946. They discovered that the United States was the only country without a national union of stu- dents, and that students from oth- er countries felt we -were being aloof. After realization of the potential benefits to be gained from a national association of stu- dents, NSA was established in 1947, Ronnie emphasized the recogni- tion of national and NSA officers as spokesmen for American college students, and of NSA as the only representative student opposition to communist student groups abroad. The Association is bene- ficial, and its potentialities have not yet been completely tapped. The question of Bryn Mawr’s maintaining NSA membership, which has been unanimously sup- ported by the NSA committee and Undergrad Council, will be intro- duced at the April meeting of the Legislature. This body will also vote at the some time on the ques- tion of reorganizing the Associa- tion on campus and integrating NSA with Undergrad and Alliance. Until these questions are settled, no head of NSA will be elected. Swarthmore, ‘under the three col-|' Gaze Crew Grateful . For Work With Faculty Open Letter to the Faculty A couple of weeks ago you ask- ed us to work on your show. Of course we jumped at the chance. And we never regretted it. We loved working with you and none of us have ever enjoyed a show so much. We painted Miss Lang’s name on the wall in Goodhart; we wish we could have put all your names there. You sent us flowers the night of the show. And you all thanked us for our help. Now that it’s all over we want to thank you—each one of you—for letting us work on Kind Hearts and Martinets. Special thanks go to Miss Lang who spent so much time working with us, and making things easy for us; also to the Nahms, who in- vited us to their cast party and didn’t raise an eyebrow when we scrubbed off all the accumulated dirt of Goodhart in their sink. ‘But mostly we want to thank all of you. /We’ve loved every minute of it.

Moses found ten fundamental laws of life, but he did not find them by scientific method. “I can’t prove the beauty of a sunset,” Dr. Noble said, “but [ know it’s beautiful—and not be. cause what I see is a diffusion of dust particles through light rays, either.” Dr. Noble explained that he felt we had two types of reasoning: in- tellectual and intuitional. Certain truths we can see, yet can scarcely prove—the quality of people in love, or of people who live with God as an integral part of their lives. There is, too, the case of peo- ple who have renounced Christian belief intellectually, but still live by it. Dr. Noble told of “an agnostic who told me he went to church be- cause, although he didn’t believe— The NEWS is happy to an- nounce the following additions to its staff: Mary Lou Bianchi, ’52 Mary Alice Drinkle, 53 Louise Kennedy, ’54 Muggy McCabe, ’54 Anne Phipps, °54 Cynthia Sorrick, °54 or at least doubted God—he liked to hear the minister express his belief”, In answer to the question, “Why can’t. one have a moral code with- out religious belief?” Dr. Noble replied that the moral code in the first place had come from a “He- brew-Christian background. Moses wanted a moral code to help him live; Jesus used love as the basis for his living”. And if all is bad, all evil in our universe, why should we bother to keep moral standards at all? Yet we do keep moral standards, the great majority of us. If we think why deeply enough, we may indeed find the religion that has been ours always. But, Dr. ‘Noble concluded, far too many ; people wait passively for religion, expecting it to come to them, and without the realiza- tion that religion is a two-way re- lationship. ( Opinion m Dr. ‘John Michaels, ‘an assistant be Mrs. Manning States Teaching Needs Cooperation To the Editors of the College NEWS: Your editorial on the shortcom- ings of the Bryn Mawr faculty as lecturers raises a general question which has agitated the breasts of educational reformers for the last forty years, caused President Mei- klejohn to start the experimental college at the University of /Wis- consin, and Bennington College to open its doors: namely, how can American colleges more effectively fulfill their function of spreading some awareness of our intellectual heritage to incoming generations of students. I hope the editors of the College NEWS will forgive me for saying that I think they have begun at the wrong end of the lad- der by identifying good teaching with effective lectures. To do so is, in my mind, to lose the battle before it has even been joined. After sitting for twenty-five years on committees searching for out- side lecturers on academic subjects whose performance could be 100% guaranteed, I have become con- vinced that they are as rare as first rate actors or first rate prima donnas. Most of us can now and again become eloquent or witty on a favorite topic, but to expect that we shall all be able to repeat the performance six or eight times a week until we retire is a council of perfection scarcely to be real- ized on this planet. Perhaps the basic fallacy in your argument is in assuming that good teaching is ever a one-sided affair. The best classroom performance will prove sterile unless the stu- dents have some idea what they are looking for in a college course and are vocal in demanding it in and out of class. The crux of the ques- tion, as I see it, was raised two years ago in a meeting of the social science departments when one of the younger members of the faculty said, “Why are fresh- men at Bryn Mawr so eager to ask questions and explore avenues which have been opened; why does that zest disappear when they re- turn to the campus as_ soph- omores ?” The answer to that question is Continued on Page 6, Col. 2 Man Bound by Dictates Of Society, Horton Says Continued. from Page 1 contribution to human life.” God who “set eternity in the heart of man” would not let him be content to be a bit of mechanism, but set in him a creative force which makes thim strive for truth, good- ness, and’ beauty. God, “the mov- er towards personalization”; put a “moral imperative upon man to be the highest type of person his mind can conceive.” The obstacles to attaining this goal, Dr. Horton continued, come under the heading, the “principle of restraint.” Because of this en- emy, man becomes an easy victim to the spirit of his times, and is made to conform in a society jeal- ous of all dissenters. The predic- ament af a businessman trying to be “generous in an ungenerous world” was cited as an example of man’s losing his meaning as an in- dividual in society. ‘When this hap- pens, the need for God in order to find: the answer to the process of | life becomes stronger than ever. dn conclusion, Dr. Horton said that the church is a place where man’s convictions are sustained, and where a “fragment of God’s eternal purpose is held out to man.” The church gives man hope, and shows him that “life is worth’ living, even if it is very difficult.” ii erect Wednesday, March 14, 1951 THE COLLEGE emery —_ eee Page Three Last Nighters Ormandy Unites Phila. || Orchestra And Choruses by Betty-Jeanne Yorshis, ’52 The Philadelphia Orchestra, the choruses of Temple University, and the University of Pennsyl-| ' vania joined under the direction of Eugene Ormandy to present Bee-' thoven’s Ninth Symphony, Satur- day evening, March 8, at the Acad- emy of Music. Inspired by Or- mandy’s precise and clear instruc- tion, the combined orchestra and chorus produced a magnificent rendition of this great work. The Ninth was preceded by a short number for piano, chorus, and or- chestra: Beethoven’s Fantasia in C Minor, which usually accom- panies the symphony. In the Fan- tasia the chorus gave a sample of what it could do, showing its outstanding mellowness of tone and its sharpness ‘of attack. Maryan Filar, the pianist, a young Polish refugee, played clearly and well. His interpretation could have been better, some of his crescen- does lacking any shading whatso- ever, but his technique was good and he knew what impression he wanted to convey to his audience. After the intermission the Ninth was presented. From the very first the excellent tone of the orchestra was brought out to its fullest, the strings and the wood- winds enchantingly rich and beau- tiful. Under Ormandy’s direction the orchestra performed to its fullest capacity; the result was fantastic, excellence. The interpre- tation of the Ninth left nothing to be desired: the second movement was snappy and gay, the third languid and romantic. If you are one of those people who watch as well as listen, you would have learned a great deal from Or- mandy.

Since then I’ve forgotten: everything anyone has asked me to do.” But the columns of fig- ures on the floor seemed to belie the picture of inefficiency Julie was painting of herself, and one felt that the League would be in good hands for the next year. Candidates for U-G Secretary L. to r.: Lurker, Stehli, Kimball, and Reigle Capacity Music Club Audience Hears Curtis Quartet’s Expert Performance By Frances Shirley, °53 On Sunday afternoon a string quartet from the Curtis Institute played to an audience that filled the Gertrude Ely Music Room to capacity. The members of the Bryn Mawr (Music Club were expecting good music, and that is what they got. There were a few places where the tone of the violins was poor, and once or twice the rhythm seemed a bit ragged, but for the most part, nothing more could have been asked of the four students who turned out a performance of near-professional quality. Toshiya Eto and Chaim Arbeit- man were the violinists, while Jeanne Gillam and Jules Eskin played the viola and violincello, re- spectively. The first selection was oe Haydn Quartet in D, No. 36, iOpus 64. It was excellently bal- ,anced, no instrument overshadow- i\ing the others, and the first and second movements were especially succesful, with rich tone and a superb smoothness and grace. In the Menuetto the rhythm was not as firm as it might have been, and in the Finale there were traces of stridency, though here the time was good, and the scale work won- derful. The quartet turned modern for the second selection, the Quartet No. 2, Op.17, of the late Bela Bar- tok. Here again the over-all effect was good, and the sheath of tone formed against the ‘cello pizzicato in the second movement was espec- ially noteworthy. Another effect- Continued on Page 4, Col. 4 L. Perkins Elected New AA President by Dee Dee Gammie, ’53 It took exactly one look at Law- rie Perkins to see how excited and pleased she was to be the new pres- ident of the Athletic Association. Lawrie: scarcely had time until in- terviewed Friday morning even to be congratulated. Thursday at six she tore into Pem East, back from lab where she had been “on pins and needles” all afternoon. She was on her way to a_ basketball game and had only a minute to pick up her flowers. “The game was with Beaver ... and we won! Be sure to put that in. It was a perfect ending to a perfect day.” Lawrie is a biology major and hopes to go into research. Chem- istry, her allied subject, is “fun— sort of like the Sunday crossword puzzle.” On campus, lacrosse is her favorite sport, while off cam- pus she likes tennis and swimming. Lawrie’s general interest in sports, however, is unprejudiced. Unhappy that people do not re- alize all the activities for which A. A. is responsible (someone once thought it responsible for ‘Alcohol: ics Anonymous!), Lawrie hopes to create more interest in A. A, throughout the college. She advo- cates “exercise for everyone. That doesn’t mean the sedentary juniors and seniors need fear being draft- ed into service on the hockey field, though!” It looks as though Law- rie’s hopes and enthusiasm for A. A. will be infectious and few upperclassmen will want to remain in their “rocking chairs.” SPORTS The junior varsity badminton team beat the Ursinus varsity 4-1 on Wednesday, March 7th at the Merion Cricket Club. This time the JVs were off on their own and they continued their undefeated record by only losing one match out of five. Marilyn Muir as first singles played excellently, winning 11-1, 11-1; she increases her skill with every match. Pauline Austin won her match without much difficulty. Although Emmy McGinnity, the third singles, lost her games, she placed her birds very craftily, so that her oppon- ent was kept constantly on the run. Both the doubles teams, Beth Davis and Jo Bogley, and Harriet Cooper and Suki Kuser, played steady but nevertheless exciting games and won their matches in two games. There were many long rallies for the doubles, which provided good opportunity for some smooth teamwork. Bryn Mawr had the members of the Temple swimming squad as its guests for the swimming meet that took place on Wednesday, March 7. The Temple team had a slight edge on the Bryn Mawr team, for although the Bryn Mawr squad has some good swimmers, the visitors had a well rounded team, and there was some beauti- ful swimming during the meet.

Class Nighters Haverford Class Night Has Savoir-faire In Skits (With vague apologies to a review in the Haverford News) As is perfectly usual about this time of year, the four classes of Haverford College, finding that they are all likely to pass their courses, and fearing the encroach- ing spring, earnestly sublimate their collective libidos into a semi- artistic channel which comes up as Class Night. This annual show is a rough—and that’s a carefully chosen adjective—a rough equiva- lent of Bryn Mawr’s annual Fresh- man Show, sans continuity and chorines. Quaker jokes and de- rogatory allusions to the beauty of Bryn Mawrons .lent a_ certain rhinestone illumination to the scripts, but a few fine songs fought their way through the furor to emerge triumphantly within the audience’s hearing. A desert-island fixation of the Victorian Variety (when desert islands were not atomic testing- grounds) had presumably clutched the consciousness of both the freshman and the senior classes. The class of ’°54 assumed a most casual approach to cause-effect re- lationships and the qualities of physical solids, and the result was the most original and “artsy” skit of the evening, which made past freshman endeavors pretty pale by comparison. Fido the Invisible Dog, -the mournful chorusing palm-trees, tennis-players, tour- ists, Barfly, and Moon were capped with sound effects and the com- paratively non-noxious finals cho- rusing “Sex, raw sex”.

A Roman Garden Sredit to Wilbur Boone Mrs. Manning Marshalls Monster Rally Continued from Page 1 changes. The “Faculty Table Song”, set to the music of “Brush Up Your Shakespeare”, gave valu- able pointers on faculty-student relations; and the kick chorus pre- sented a beautifully-executed par- ody on all the kick choruses which have ever appeared in class shows. “English Literature in Trans- mission: or Lady Be Good”, writ- ten by Miss Leighton and Miss Stapleton, proved an effective par- ody of giveaway shows, Edith Sit- well, Emily Kimbrough, the cow- boy fad, and almost anything else that in this.modern age is subject to satire. Miss Gardiner as Lady Satgood, clad in an exotic turban and shawl, delivered a moving reading of “Bryn Mawr Facade”, in which were captured many of the characteristics of the Bryn Mawr campus and undergraduate. Mr. Berry was a handsome Hopa- long, Mr. Sloane an equally at- tractive announcer, and Miss Leighton, as Emily Wench, person- ified all the endearing traits of the female author-lecturer. Between acts the wardens sang and danced in a sprightly fashion “The Warden’s Lament”, dressed in various stages of pajamas, nightgowns, and bathrobes. “The Theory. and Practice of Art... a tragedy in five continu- ous acts”, exhibited Miss Lograsso portraying Miss Lograsso with an enormous paintbrush, Mr. Morris as Mr. Janschka, and Mr. Jans- chka as Mr. Morris. The scenery and special effects for this scene were magnificent. The scene told the sad story of two young men who perished in Higgins Ink and of Miss Lograsso, who lamented, but went on painting. The Course in Anthropology 101: “Tribal Rites”, proved one of the most outstanding scenes on the program, from the standpoints of both art and entertainment. Mr. Adams and Miss Kilby as the Sha- mans, inspired by King Solomon’s Mines, danced and beat time skill- fully and expressively in two of the best individual performances in the show; and the brutal Braves, Mr. Burton, Mr. Parker, Mr. Polit- zer, and Mr. Soper, were lively Indians, each with a personality of his own. Miss deLaguna, Miss Howe, Mrs. Lattimore, and Miss Nelidow scurried ‘around submis- sively as Squaws, until the ultim- ate feminine triumph. (Before the curtain opened on Semester II, no one imagined that the Typical American Family, written by Mrs. Dryden, would come to life from an amalgamation of Charles Addams cartoons. Mr. Leblanc and Mrs. Berliner were perfect as the husband and wife, Mr. (Morris properly monstrous as the hungry butler. One could vis- ualize Miss Northrop as the gran- ny “borrowing’a cup of cyanide”. A high point of the show was the hand-in-hand dance of Miss Fales and Mr. Nahm as the ghoulish girl and boy, and their song end- ing: “Teacher’s gone and we are glad. We have drove her simply mad... “Teacher’s in the loony bin. Now our holidays begin”. Mrs. Marshall, as the typical Bryn Mawr student doomed for the deep freeze, captured our char- acteristics with an acuteness that made us all squirm: “This paper has to be typed to morrow morn- ing... ”; “I guess I’ll hit the high spots and hope for the best...

The two spirits, Miss de Laguna in the mummy case and Mr. Adams in the birdcage, sus- tained the pace of the skit with their clever and highly rational re- marks. The Prairie Division of Com- parative Literature consisted of the translation of “Home on the Range” into various languages and accompanying national dances by the appropriate professors. Mrs. Nahm amalgamated the scene. Mr. ‘Watson as an engaging cowboy with his horse Peggy (Mr. and Mrs. Pese) first sang the original version of the song. Then Mr. Po- litzer in Lederhosen sang, “Da- heim, auf der Alm” and did a live- ly Bavarian dance. Miss Esteves danced gracefully to the rhythm of; castanets and longed to be “Hogar én al campo”. Miss deGraaf as a Cossack sang, “Kolkhoz, kolkhoz na stepiakh”; and Mr. MacGregor in kilts executed a beautiful High- land Fling, after expressing a wish} ‘to be “Hame, hame on the brae”, As a glamorous chanteuse, Miss Bree sang, “Chez moi, chez moi dans la prairie”, and they all unit- ed under the direction of Miss Lang as a Bryn Mawr Lantern Girl. After an eight-minute spring va- cation, the audience watched a wel- come repeat from the last faculty show, “Spring in a Roman Gar- den”, with Miss Clayton, Mrs. Lat- timore, Mrs. Leblanc, and Mrs. Nahm as ballerinas pirouetting with stately Roman statues, Mr. Alwyne, Mr. Berliner, Mr. Berry, and Mr. Lattimore. Mrs. Marshall as the nonchalant prima ballerina danced with a bust of Aeschylus - with hands that belonged to Mr. Sloane. The whole scene seemed to be a mixture of beauty and sub- tle, wonderful satire, which could have been repeated nine times over. One of the stars of the show was undisputedly Mr. Dudden, who ap- peared with Mr. Parker between acts as the epitome of academic fashion, and with a complete dead- pan and doleful gaze portrayed the mournful professor who never could do anything right. As “The glass of fashion and the mould of form”, the third leg at a cocktail party, the bored, twitching, and itching professor. in academic garb, Mr. Dudden was superb. The semi-octangle, Mr. Soper, Mr. Morris, and Mr. Leblanc, also provided the faculty show with hil- arious touches. Long to be remem- bered is Mr. Leblanc pouncing on the cymbals with clenched fists, jumping up and down beside the big bass viol, and as Little May Day; Mr. Morris’ gripping emo- or and humorous delivery. never to be forgotten is Broughton’s brief stroll across the lee oeine 6 ety SnD sk y eee on a note of hi- larity, when eight professors, clad in white, pranced down the aisle and danced around the Maypole. Special credit must be given to the acconipanists, Jane Horner, ‘61, Mr. Alwyne, and Mr. Bern- heimer; the students Anne Laid- law, ‘52, and Jill McAnney, ’52, who assisted with lighting and make-up respectively; the other student members of the stage grew, Ann Blaisdell, Helen Dobbs, and Janet Leeds; the. Ticket Sales Committee; and all others con- nected with the show in any ca- pacity. A wonderful feeling possessed everyone in the audience Saturday night, to see the faculty produce such a marvelous show, to buy balloons from Mr. Gilbert with his big red tie, his straw hat, and tre- mendous laundry bag, and popcorn from Miss Bree, and to realize that this was the Bryn Mawr faculty working enthusiastically for two wonderful causes: the purchase of the Scull property and the enter- tainment of their friends, their students, and themselves. All-Beethoven Concert Has Clarity and Finesse Continued from Page 3 hands meant something, and the change in his style from sweeping arm movements to barely percep- tible motions of his forefinger was a revealing demonstration of how he made the Philadelphia Orches- tra one of the foremost in the world. The fourth movement, in which the choral motive begins low in the bass violins, was stirring from the very beginning. When the baritone stands up and announces: “Freunde, nicht diese Tone”, your excitement grows intense and is not relieved until long after the last notes have died away. The soloists, professionals all, varied in musicianship. The baritone and contralto, Mack Harrell and Nan Merriman, were outstanding. The tenor was too sharp and the so- prano too weak, but together the four voices blended in a magnifi- ‘cent way that must have been in- tended by the composer. pure Manning Says Confusion Helps Passive Attitude Continued from Page 2 just as much the business of the faculty as is the problem of better lectures or textbooks. In part it may be that too many lectures, too massive a presentation of facts have whetted the apetitte for knowledge and killed initiative. But there are probably deeper rea- sons for the passive attitude of college students in the United States which are connected with the distractions of extra-curricu- lar activities and a general con- fusion about the purpose of a col- lege education. It used to be told of the first students of the Bryn Mawr Summer School for Workers in Industry that if an instructor cut a class, his lodgings were be- seiged by indignant and insistent tions; and Mr. Soper’s lovely ter The Time Is Fine Right Now The Food is Good and How!

Pratt maintained that there is present in the objective pattern of a work of art a quality which the percipient can recognize as anal- ogous to, or related by analogy- ogous to, or descriptive of, an emotional state or mood. Emotion and the work of art are related by analogy; musie sounds the way the various emotions feel. Pratt said that he believed that there are certain patterns common to the emotions of the individual organ- ism and works of art in auditory and visual fields. H. Manning Moderates Panel Talks on Russia Continued from Page 1 There are very dim chances of an easy peace. Both Russia and we think that this is not primary. There will be a continuous strug- gle between American and Russia to see who can gain the leadership in Europe and Asia. To maintain peace, the United States must have “active humanism” and “iron- nerved patience”. We should aid. Europe and Asia economically, raeher than emphasizing only mili- tary expansion. According to Dr. Horter, the Russians want to expand to sur- rounding lands, such as the Ruhr and the Dardanelles. They fear that a third world war would knock out Russia as the past wars killed .Germany, Italy, and France. They covet the balance of power which the United States controls. With a. constructive approach, we can make peace with Russia within the next five years. Mrs. Manning presented the “historical point of view”. Com- munism is a religion diffusing it- self over more territory than any religion has before. We can not “wipe away’ Communism, but must live with it. We can not de- stroy Communism as we destroy- ed facism. Communism is much more permanent than fascism ever was. In the future, we will have to tolerate people who have dif- ferent ideas than we do. Russia is expansionist and peace within the next five years is si improb- able. CALENDAR Continued from Page 1 Sunday, March 18, 1951. 7:15 p. m. Chapel, Rev. Harry Meserve.

Student Petition Seeks 3:30 Permission For All Continued from Page 1 sibility on the part of the students. It is hard to see any essential difference between signing out un- til 3:30 and not going to the dance, and going to the dance for five minutes thus obtaining a legal 8:30 signout. Indeed, the differ- ence seems to be only a matter lof having bought a ticket to the dance. Thus this Self-Govern- ment rule is governing financial matters. We do not believe that the dances would suffer from this revision since the people who enjoy dancing will still attend. As we see it, the only way to prevent. violation of this rule as it stands. would be to close the gym doors at. 1:30 and alow no one to leave be- fore 2:00. On those few weekends ‘lien. special permission is granted, we should like to see extended permis- sion for all, or at least some re- vision of this rule as it is now obviously inadequate.” -This petition is signed by sixty- five undergraduates. | | Special Invitation fer Spring Vacation You are invited ‘to visit a Katha- rine Gibbs School during your vacation.
