__and why?”, Te COLLEGE NEWS /OL. XLV, NO. 18 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 1949 Copyright, Trustees of Bryn Mawr College,1945 PRICE 15 CENTS Dr. Marion Park To Give Awards At Fri. Assembly Travelling Scholarships Will Take Grads To Europe The Graduate Fellowship Assem- bly will be held this coming Friday at noon in Goodhart. All 12 o’clock classes will be cancelled in order -that the Undergraduate body will have the opportunity to hear Dr. Marion Edwards Park present the European Travelling Fellowships and deliver a speech entitled, ‘Graduate Work in Administra- tion.” The Faculty has not yet decided whether one or two awards will be given. It is interesting to note that Miss Park herself held this high- est academic award, a European Fellowship, in 1899, the year after she graduated, having held the of- fice of President of Self4Gov in her senior year at Bryn Mawr. Miss Park received her iA.B. here in 1898 and her Ph.D. in 1918, after studying at the University of Chi- cago (1900) and the American School of ‘Classical Studies in Athens, Greece. She was an in- structor and assistant professor in Classical ‘Studies at Colorado Col- lege (1902-1906). From 1910-1921 she was dean of Simmons College and in 1922 dean of Radcliffe Col- Jege. Park Returns Miss Park ibecame President of Bryn Mawr in 1922 and has been President Emeritus since 1942. She 4s: now living in Plymouth, Mass., and this will be her first public ap- pearance at the college since 1944. Her distinguished career as an 2ducator and leader of this college makes Miss Park one of Bryn Mawr’s most well known Alumna and her address concerning grad- uate work in administration will undoubtedly ibe one of the most in- teresting to be given this year. On Friday evening there will be 4 dinner at the Graduate School to celebrate the award which will be presented to one of the students there. Burch Describes Scientific, 3-fold Universal Theory Philosophy Club Lectures, March 14—The distinction between par- ticulars and universals is that the latter must be understood before they can be identified, declared Dr. George Burch, speaking to the Philosophy Club on “The Theory of Universals.” Whereas the par- ticulars can be distinguished from one another by being pointed to, the universals have to be described.

Ropes, Polka Dots, and Wet Man Mark ‘Foolish Notion, Rehearsal by Claire Liachowitz, ’52 Gigantic Goodhart stage was bare of all appropriate scenery the other night, when Mr. Thon and a crew of actors and actresses strug- gled through a rehearsal of the third act of “Foolish Notion.” Ropes were strung in all conceiv- able places, and huge piles of flats loomed in the wings. A few step- and-fetching stage hands worked m the background, painting and scrubbing. The only available seats were five uncomfortable chairs; a bushel basket squatted in the mid- dle of the stage, serving-as a low table. A greasy tin can represent- ed a very important silver urn. Against the wall leaned a large frame; and beside it was a larger picture of a man in a bright blue suit and polka dot tie. He looked quite attractive, even if his paint was still wet. “that’s not the door!” A _ sigh- ing actress turned around, went | back off the stage, and said And then she walked in again, seemingly in the same place as be- fore, but this time obviously walk- ing in the door. Even the characters, who were doing the third act on the front — of the stage, did.not-look.much like characters. Their faces were col- orless behind the footlights, while class blazers above and stained and patched blue jeans below were hardly appropriate costumes. The weary actors giggled when they missed cues and forgot lines, and general confusion reigned over where to stand, and “You’re not spedking loudly enough!” But the actors had no audience or inspiration. The usual crowd’ of wanderer-inners and_ strays from the Soda Fountain was ab- sent, for closed rehearsals were the rule. The NEWS barely convinced the director that it had a legiti- mate reason for watching. |-Friday-and* Saturday nights the—- play will be presented in Good- hart by Bryn’ Mawr and Haver- ford.- “Foolish Notion” looks like “Here?” “Yes, that’s much better.” a fun! i TES p 2 THE COLLEGE NEWS j/ ~“ THE COLLEGE NEWS FOUNDED IN 1914 Published weekly during the College Year (except during Thanks- giving, Christmas and Easter holidays, and during examination weeks) in the interest of Bryn Mawr College at the Ardmore Printing Company, Ardmore, Pa., and Bryn Mawr College. i The College News is fully protected by copyright.

Last month’s Curriculum Committee polls contained the suggestion, among others, that a new required course, in the social sciences, be initiated. Undergraduate reaction to this was divided, according to the relatively small number of polls that were returned. Many felt that another required course, bringing the total to five, would be inadvisable and that so many students do take a course in history, politics, economics or sociology during their college careers that the requirement would also be unnecessary. Others felt that no one should graduate from Bryn Mawr without having had a course in one of these fields. Since most students now find that they must take at least one language as well as their present four required courses, plus hygtene and often other courses required by the college outside of their major de- partment, we agree that another required course as such would be a mistake. However, if it were possible to eliminate some of the other courses required outside a major field or to follow the example of many other colleges by giving an exemption exam for English Composition at the beginning of freshman year, a new Social Science requirement might prove an addition to rather than a reacmotion on our academic careers. — We Want — ! Although last week’s letter to the NEWS protesting against the inadequacy of existing fire equipment was slight- ly weak on fact, it cannot be denied that there are many fire hazards in the dormitories and other campus buildings: fee- ble fire escapes, blocked third floor exits, loose inflammable rubbish, and insufficient fire drilling. These are among the more serious deficiencies in our living conditions—they are the joint responsibility of the administration and the under- graduates, and it is only sensible that prompt and thorough action be taken about them. There are others, less immediately serious but almost equally demanding. To the administration: in spite of strong student protest, the Library continues to use 40 watt bulbs in the carrels and the Quita Woodward Room, making them almost useless at night. _ There is an increased speed and carelessness in the driving of taxis, delivery trucks, and fac- ulty and administration cars outside Rhoads and Pembroke. We urge furthermore that some attempt be made to get the tennis courts into decent condition this spring. To the students: books are still continually missing off the reserve shelves, an inexcusable and unintelligent offense. _ When you are reading library books that have been marked or torn, erase the marks yourself as you go, and report the | mutilations to the librarians. And finally, now that spring is almost making up its mind to come, do not walk on the grass. Current Events _ Common Room, March 14. Miss |} Mabel Lang, of the Greek Depart- ment, spoke at Current Events concerning her observations on Greece. Miss Lang spent a year in Greece, from the summer of ’47 to the summer of ’48, a period of im- portant Greek political develop- ment. She feels that her stay in Greece would lead her to question ‘the generalities concerning that country, which are heard so often today. (Miss (Lang stressed the economic importance of the geography of Greece. ‘25% of the total land area is arable, the rest covered by rugged mountains. Because of the small areas of farming and year-round grazing land, Greece must import one-third of its grain and one-half of its meat to fill its food requirements. As the farm- ing land is suitable only for pro- | ducing luxury commodities such as currants, tobacco and wine, there is little market for Greek products in the present period of unstable | economy. Manufacturing is “impossible in Greece without outside monetary help, observed Miss Lang, as there is very little raw material and practically no fuel. The AMAG, American Organization for Aid to Greek reconstruction, played an important part in erasing the scars of World ‘War II, dating back as far as the period of Hitler’s in- vasion. The only effective campaign against the leftist guerillas has oc- curred in the last month, when the new Greek Cabinet drove the rebels from the Pelponnesus. This ad- vance, Miss Lang indicated, may be a hint of future improvement in the Greek political situation. Ginastera Highlights BM - Princeton Concert Continued from page 1 great pity that Betty Jean Connor, who sang the Haydn Mass so beau- tifully, had as a solo Friday night Black Is the Color of My True Love’s Hair. It was not at all ap- propriate for her voice. The last selection, Hindemith’s A Song of Music, was well-sung but resem- bled a large proportion of Bryn Mawr’s program in not having a general appeal for the audience. Princeton’s choice of songs was undoubtedly ‘ess origital than Brv. Mawr’s, iu all we very pi oe.ng to ths ‘cat. ever when suns, slovenly. Randall Thomp- son’s Quis Multa Gracilis had de- lightful contrasts of whispers and booms and squeaks, and the ten- ors continued to squeak for the rest of the evening. There follow- ed an unfinished and blurred per- formance of four songs set to mu- sic by Henry Purcell: In These De- lightful Pleasant Groves; When the Cock Begins to Crow; Once, Twice, Thrice I Julia Tried; and I Gave Her Cakes and I Gave Her Ale. The four Shakespeare songs—Tell Me Where Is Fancy Bred, O Mis- tress Mine, What Shall We Have That Killed the Deer, and When Daisies Pied—with music by Jos- eph Daltry were an improvement, perhaps ‘because they are even more familiar and catchy than the Purcell. The best of Princeton’s selections was the Bach Tenor and Bass Duet from Cantata 125, ac- companied by the Princeton Uni- versity Orchestra. It was brisk, precise, sustained—a lovely mix- ture of voices and violins. iLast and by far the best was The Lamentations of Jeremiah by Alberto Ginastera, sung by chorus and glee club. The sopranos began with a series of startiing ‘“oh’s”. As Mr. Goodale flapped his elbows vigorously, the whole chorus join- ed in with deafening and gorgeous song. The gothic gloom of the basses as they chanted “et dixi” pleased me most but the singing was exquisite throughout. 3 Repressed Actresses Now Have Chance To Act Dear Editor: There has been a complaint and we are answering it. “Actresses Anonymous” met Monday.

Elaine Marks Trish Richardson Charwomen. —, Yale Professor Speaks On Developing Embryo Continued from page 1 he has ‘been teaching since 1938, spoke on “Biochemical Develop- ment in the Amphibian Embryo.” Dr. Boell emphasized the scien- tific development in research which at present enables hiologists to trace the growth of features in the embryo, and the change in morpho- logical and physiological proper- ties. Taking the salamander as a typical amphibian, he mapped its more than forty distinct stages of growth spanning the development from sperm to mature animal. Cir- culation and heart-beat in the sala- mander begin between the thirty- second and thirty-third stages, and from this point, mobility begins to develop. (Stimulation will produce motion before full powers of mo- bility have matured. Dr. Boell concluded with a diagram showing the system by which this motion can be recorded. Theory of Universals Explained by G. Burch Continued from page 1 Though the particulars and the universals are different, the theo- ries that apply in classifying them are essentially the same, as Dr. Burch pointed out. Idealism, which is the theory of particulars accord- ing to which things exist only as thoughts and have no objective ex- istence, corresponds to the phen- omenal theory of universals. Ma- terialism, which asserts that things do exist objectively, corresponds to the class theory of universals. And finally, realism, which holds that things exist objectively and as sub- stances, corresponds. to the essence theory, which maintains that uni- versals exist objectively and as eternal ideas. Dr. Burch does not believe that any one of these theories is valid in all cases. According to him, a scientific classification is “the only sound approach to the problem.” The universals can be divided in three groups, that to which the inanimate natural things belong, that to which living things be- long, and that to which man-made artificial things belong. Each of these groups is associated with one of the theories of universals. As an example of a universal belong- ing to. inanimate natural things, Dr. Burch took mountains. What mountains have in common is only a superficial ressemblance; that is to say, their essences are alike in the ait sense, but not in the real sense. This associates inan- imate natural things with the phenomenal theory. But the nom- inalist or phenomenalist theory fails when it comes to living things. For there is between these, an objective genetic relation, since every living thing comes into be- ing from a previous living thing, which it resembles. Then, it is the class theory of universals that _ap- Continued on page 4 \ Opinion Station WBMC Stand by;. Ursinus Replies To Our SOS To the Editor: On March 8rd two students from. Ursinus; Joseph Beardwood and Alvin Knepper, came to Pembroke East to see the Bryn Mawr radio station. They have offered to give their time and assistance so that. we may have WBIMC operating again. With their aid and a mini- mum of financial backing the radio. station will be in operation before the end of this semester. When Pembroke East was con- verted to A.C. current three years ago the Bryn Mawr radio station was forced to shut down, because. it would have ‘been too difficult to run lines into the halls on D.C.. surrent, We not only lacked money, but a great deal of work would have to be done by an ex- pert. . This year Jane Wickham~and Seta Mahakian became interested in the possibilities which college radio presents. With help from Wray Bentley of Haverford, they got the station into operation so that it could be heard in Pem East. There still remained the drawback of the other halls which run on D.C. current. In college radio programs there is a chance for much expression of talent. A large number of Bryn Mawr students who are not chosen for the Drama Guild productions would jump at the opportunity to take part in radio plays. Those who are interested could do ex- perimental radio script writing and directing. They might even use a sound effects man! For a small monthly charge we can rent a tele- phone line to Haverford College which would make it possible for us to exchange broadcasts. Some- time in the future we might form a local network with Haverford, Ur- sinus, Valley Forge Hospital and Swarthmore. When all the major colleges and most of the smaller ones have campus radio stations it seems too bad that Bryn Mawr should not have one in operation also. The authorities have taken no interest. in giving us funds so all support. has had to come from outside sources, such as WHaverford and Ursinus . . Doesn’t Bryn Mawr care about putting its neglected radio station back on the air? Yours sincerely, Helen Dobbs, ’52 Jacob, Esau Confused In International Quiz Continued from page 1 There were setbacks on the way.. I kept insisting that Jacob was in-. extricably linked with a mess of pottage, but finally Nellie put her hand over my mouth ,and said firmly into the microphone, “She knew it was Esau all the time.” After that there was a tacit un- derstanding that I was to answer no more questions, and Nancy and Nellie saved the day. There was a brilliant choral rendition of “I have my love to keep me warm,” in answer to “Why did you go out in the snow without your over- coat,” and we missed shamefully on the name of Wendy’s dog. But Alberdeen was convinced that Roosevelt was our “ruling presi- dent,” and at the end of half an hour the score stood at 540 to 310, our favor. As we were driven back to college, exhausted by our intel- lectual gymnastics, we made full apologies to Nellie. It had, after - all, been lots of fun.

Iglehart, Harvey, and Shaw played for the Varsity, and Davis, Rowan and B. Townsend for the Junior Varsity. Davis played exceptionally well, winning both her matches, 12-9 and 11-6. Swarthmore also won in the doubles matches over the Bryn Mawr Varsity, Wallace and Black- wood, Dawes and Christ, and the Junior Varsity, Newbold _ an‘d Lukens, Howells and Wadsworth.

Hayes, Wads- worth, Parker, and Worthington played forward; and the guards were Perkins, Porter, Zimmerman, and Savage. In a hard-played, ex- citing game Rosemont defeated Bryn Mawr’s Junior Varsity by the slim margin of 17-15. The J.

Patricia Ripley, 50 Counterpoint’s poll conducted yesterday shows that 56% of Bryn Mawr and Haverford students in- terested enough to fill out’ the cards are primarily concerned with “what a college education should provide today.” “The most sig- nificant event of the first half of the 20th century” ranked second, and World Government was third place. The “............ (you name it)” replies ranged from “You name it!” to Birth Control. In its Summer Issue, Counter- point will print the best articles submitted on the subject of mod- ern college education. The length may be up to 300 words, the treat- ment either general or specific. Deadline for acceptance is April 5th. The majority of comments _re- turned on the polls stressed Coun- terpoint’s role as a literary maga- zine, and that the publishing of critical writing, on such topics as were suggested, is out of its scope and would reduce the amount of creative writing able to be printed. in FOR GOOD FOOD THAT’S ALWAYS GOOD COME TO THE GREEK’S BRYN MAWR NOTICES Chorus Tickets Tickets for the New York per- formance of the Chorus with the Princeton University Glee Club in Hunter Auditorium are available now at the Public Relations Office in Taylor.

The essence theory, if applied to living. things, is refuted by the evidence of evo- lution, by the fact that species are temporal entities, not eternal ones; they change with time. For living things are what they are by vir- tue of their origin. But the essence theory does apply to artificial things. We do know the real es- sence of an artifact—because we made it. And here is emphasized one of the main differences between artifacts and living things, as Dr. Burch pointed out: because they are made after a certain purpose, to fulfill a particular end, artifacts may be «onsidered perfect or im- perfect, which categories, however, do not apply te living things, since we do not know what the purpose of humanity is or that it has any purpose.
