Ve College VOL. XLIV, NO. 22 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1950. Copyright, Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1950 arriet Smith Receives Hinchman for Work PRICE 15 CENTS in Biology Janschka Displays True Genius At Showing of Contemporary Art by Jane Augustine, 52 The Carlen Gallery in Philadel- ‘phia is now exhibiting for the first time in America the work of Fritz Janschka, the Viennese artist whom the Catherwoods have brought to Bryn Mawr to work and teach. Forty drawings and paintings are mow on display; some are water- colors, some are done in ink, a few are in pencil. It is difficult to judge any way but subjectively, and for that reason some would think them more beautiful than others would. ‘But it seems impossible that any- one could think they are not beau- ‘tiful — and to achieve beauty is the artist’s foremost goal. These pictures show infinite as- pects of the artist’s conscious and subconscious mind. They reveal thoughts much too elusive for words — and that also hinders objective criticism. Underlying the great variety of subject matter -and treatment are a few charac- teristics which distinguish __ Mr. Janschka’s work from that of other artists. All of the pictures con- ttain much detail and many fine lines. Yet none of these fine lines js meaningless, any more than a fine strand of steel wire is mean- ingless to a bridge cable. The ‘watercolors are characterized by a nebulous juxtaposition of color- splotches — in the background usually, but not always — on which minutely drawn objects are super- imposed. An underwater theme runs through both subject and treatment of several watercolors, and can be detected in the treat- ‘ment alone of some scenes which are not undersea. It is the quality of an oceah-bottom, or a magic garden. Many pictures contain groups of tiny faces all bearing different expressions, viewed from different angles, and placed in dif- ferent positions. The artist seems to see faces in inanimate objects, or to conjure them out of blank plane surfaces and thin air. One watercolor From My Gar- den is very simply constructed. From a distance one has an im- pression of seven parallel strands of blurred blue. Up close one sees that there are many shades of blue ranging from royal through Prus- sian blue to green or grey. One sees flowers with faces drawn by a single-hair brush dipped in pur ple and maroon. The feeling is one of finding the overlooked beauties of small things — like seeing a butterfly’s wing clarified by a microscope.

There will be a general review of all sports events of the past year, the presentation of point awards, and later there will be refresh- ments.

The top foreground is black; behind and below there is the sooty-yellow and green of undersea light, through which fat fish swim in one direction. In People Courtesying, black and purple definitely-shaped strands against a sunset back- ground have the effect of a shadow play. % Several paintings are nothing more than a closely-packed group of faces showing every possible expression. One of these is Fish and Mussels, with black and white ‘detail on deep pink paper; another with a lavendar background is From the Sea, lent by the Charles Chaplins. The two paintings The Animal Kingdem Discusses War andA Living Mountain tell a story — in them the faces are grouped less closely. In the former, intelli- gent-looking beasts, red-brown and tawny, stand up before a yellow sky filled with tiny fuschia and peacock-blue rocket toys remini- scent of certain so-called comic strips. In A Living Mountain, reds and pink-browns again predomin- ate in a group that suggests so- ciety in general — a few outstand- ing individuals at the top, and a great many crowded underneath. Two miniscule purple figures in Continued on Page 2 Schrecker Traces “Descartes Today” Dr. Paul Schrecker, who has just been appointed full Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania, spoke last Wednes- day evening in the Common Room on “Descartes Today.” Descartes died only several days over three hundred years ago. Dr. Schrecker began his talk with an explanation of the detail in a Picard engraving that symbol- ized Descartes’ influence on his own age. Descartes is represented in the center, led toward Truth, and surrounded by Father Time, a large university building “not unlike Taylor Hall,” and other al- legorical figures. The work was meant to represent the penetration of Cartesian thought into all the arts and sciences. The reason for the success of Descartes’ over- throw of established methodology was that he furnished the first new reasoning along with the fruit, analytic geometry, of his Discours de la Methode. Then Dr. Schrecker traced the progress Car- tesian reasoning had made from its inception in 1687, past the inter- diction of Louis XIV against its being taught in French universi- ties, past the trend of conformity to such accepted ancient authori- ties as Aquinas and Euclid, and up to its eventual counterpart in polit- ical, as well as intellectual, revo- lutions. It was Richelieu who said that the French Revolution began with Descartes. — For Descartes it was the “free- dom, or rather, the duty of all to doubt” anything founded on author- ity. The political repercussions of this were immense. The unsubstan- Continued on Page 2 Hinchman Winner, Harriet E. Smith Harriet Smith, Hinchman Winner, Plans To Do Honors in Biology The Charles S.

However, its original appeal seeyfS’to have become tarnished through the years, and its original significance is most certainly obscured. The threat of one-dollar fines, and the tedium of daily meetings and rehearsals have overshadowed, to a great ex- tent, the charm and effectiveness of the actual singing of the songs on May Day morning. .The worry about hopping on the right beat and.straining to hear the speeches tends to de- ‘tract from the May-pole ceremonies. And assuredly the early hour: does little for the general spirit of gaiety which should characterize a holiday of this sort. There are'so many little things connected with May Day, that the important, significant ones are often unappreciated. The waking of the Seniors with May Day baskets, the hoop- - rolling down Senior Row, the Seniors’ willing of their “prized possessions”, -and. the Assembly which is the culmination of . the ceremonies: all these are the customs on which May Day was originally based. -It is because the detail of these cus- toms is stressed, -and their meaning generally overlooked - that May Day seems:like-an outworn event to many. On the - morning of May first,-if-at no other time, the travail and monotony should be divorced from the ceremonies, and their significance and: pleasant qualities realized and appreciated. _—— The Creative Problem In letters to the editor and in smoker sessions, students have long deplored the lack of creative opportunities at Bryn Mawr. In response to student demand they have grown: we have the College Theatre, Freshman and Junior shows, Coun- terpoint. And this is the fourth year that we have had Arts Night, which presents what may be the most challenging and rewarding opportunities. But this year’s response has been discouraging in two ways. First, from the creative aspect; dancers and musicians have responded to the call of Arts Night, but Bryn Mawr is not represented by a play. Those connected with Arts Night have talent and great enthusiasm, but their number is not proportionately representative of the many creative and highly talented students on the Bryn Mawr campus. Second, a glance at the seating chart will indicate the apathy of the student body. Unless a great many tickets are sold at the door, the auditorium will be less than half full. The Arts Night committee was pleased to be able to present its entertainment in Goodhart this year—an innovation and tangible proof that Arts Night is growing and establishing itself as an important Bryn Mawr tradition. Without the ‘support of the | students Arts Night has no importance. It is ade; mas by, and for the students, and a magnificent ».| reg. ong te, Tatethcide or M. DuPont Wins Exhibition Match On Thursday, April 27, the Ex- hiibtion Tennis match between Mrs. Margaret Osborne DuPont and Mrs. Bunny Vosters was held on the Bryn Mawr Varsity courts. Two games were played, and were both won by Mrs. DuPont, 6-4, 8-6. Both showed excellent form and skill in their games, and to al! the students watching, it must have been a great inspiration. There ‘were many amazing shots and plays, which gave the specta- tors a wonderful chance to see tennis well played and enjoyed. Both players moved with grace and speed, making the match not only thrilling but beautiful to watch. Mrs. DuPont now holds the Na- tional Women’s Championship title, and Mrs. Vosters is ranked four- teenth nationally, as well as being the chairman of the Junior Wight- man Cup Team. The concentration during the match was mostly on long base-| line shots. Neither player came up to the net very often, but when they did they showed perfect con- trol of the ball. Mrs. DuPont hit | quite a few: beautiful cross court shots, some of which were hit back with exceeding ease on the part of Mrs. Vosters. Mrs. DuPont’s serve was one of the most outstanding features of the match. It was a very fast, powerful drive, which went deep into the service court, and almost had the strength of a man. Both players had good, clean hits and seldom cut or sliced the ball, which all went to make the match a very open and graceful game. Janschka Art Exhibit Seen Impressive Start Continued from Page 1 the pale blue sky whisper together, pointing at the top of the moun- tain. Lantern Night at Bryn Mawr, lent by Miss McBride, and First Impressions of Philadelphia are particularly interesting to anyone conected with Bryn Mawr College. Lantern Night has a dark misty background; feminine faces sur- reund their lanterns and peer out of trees and doorways. In the center Janschka paints himself looking through an arched and grated window |as if he were look- ing, somewhat surprised, into a convent. First Impressions of Phil- adelphia masses male and female, negro and Caucasian faces in the dark foreground, while in back buildings loom up into a _ red- orange sky. Another obviously Philadelphia - inspired painting, Jazz, with its cold, dominant scar- let, depicts its title well. The ink drawings like Seven Kinds of Death and The Parable of the Loaves of Bread and Fish are baffling and fascinating simul- taneotsly, they demand prolonged contemplation. They are thought-out and ex- ecuted with the most meticulous care. Shapes are curiously connect- ed, and their full meaning with implications is not immediately evident. Lines of poetry are print- ed in the corner of It is Raining on the Euphrates and there is let- tering also in a similar picture Military Pomp. These in their de- tail remind one of Durer. Ink drawings of a more immediate- ly understandable kind are the Illustration for Kafka and Mental Hospital. In the former the faces are hard and mask-like, contrast- ing with the very human suffering faces in the latter. When using pencil, Janschka treats his subject with a different sort of detail. Infanticide and The Burial are both done in pencil, and yet are not done in the same way. They, like some of the ink draw- ings, contain so much that one Carpenter Takes Thumbnail Trip Of Frozen Fjords, Sunny .sslands’ by Patricia Murray, ’52 I sat facing Dr. Rhys Uarpenter. He gave me a smile, which signi- fied complacency for himself, and chalienge for me. “Now you are supposed to dis- play your skill as an interviewer,” he said. “Where are your leading questions?” I knew that Mr. Car- penter is Professor of Greek Lit- erature and Classical Archeology. The pamphlet in my hand stated that he is to lead an extensive tour of Europe and the Greek Islands this summer.

Mr. Car- penter responded beautifully. “Well of course I’m leading this tour for the sake of seeing the Greek Islands again. In our special boat we have permission to travel. straight from one island to the next. Believe it or not, this is a great advantage, for ordinarily one is requiréd to return from each separate island to. Pireaus, and then set off again for the next island. Why do I want to see them? Because they’re Greek, for one thing.” Here Mr. Carpenter: held up his hand, and counted off the reasons on his fingers. “Natural beauty’s another. Most: beautiful scenery in the world; the. Norwegian fjords are the only- thing like it. The third reason is. archeological: they’ve been doing a lot’ of digging in those islands. The islands have a good many in- teresting associations for us. Cat- mos, for instance. Saint John wrote. the Revelations there, and it has. a very fine Greek monastery.” Since ‘Greek’ to me means temples. and goddesses, I was puzzled for a minute, then thought to ask, “By Greek, do you mean Greek Ortho-. dox?” He looked at me, startled. “You really don’t know anything, do you?” I shook my head, and he went on to explain that some of these monasteries date from early- Christian times, and that they are built in the Byzantine style, and are richly adorned with mosaic. “Aren’t you going to ask me why they’re so beautiful? That’s: Continued on Page 6 Dr. Schrecker Traces Descartes’ Influence Continued from Page 1 tiated conclusions of the past were. swept aside, although with the ex- ample of Galileo before his eyes, Descartes, as a moral conformist, picked no quarrel with the Church. Dr. Schrecker cited the Brownist movement in India as an example of non-acceptance of the Church authority that he himself had deigned to question. According to. his plan; doctrines were to be dis-. qualified as criterions unless they had “clear and distinct” proof; and God, Descartes’s Deus Ex Machina, was to be the only guarantor of knowledge. This dependence. on God’s veracity is the weak point of the system. Descartes believed that “the seeds of truth are within every- one” ‘since there was now a ques- tioning of any supreme outside. authorities in intellectual affairs, the same question was soon extend- ed to real life. Revolt against any authority between man’s “inner- voice” and the “direction in action of the inner voice” was the result. Dr. Schrecker raised the parallel of the two great. revolutions of the eighteenth century as eventual- ities of this system. The French Revolution, an_ intellectual one, was the “deification of Reason;’” while the American one, was large-. ly Puritan and Christian inspired. Both were directly traceable back through Malebranche and other- “advocates of autonomy and free- dom,” like Spinoza and Locke, to- Descartes system of doubt. The. paradox of “security” or certainty of knowledge, vis-a-vis “strenuous freedom,” or freedom of knowledge- both stemming from the same source, cannot be exactly satisfied, Dr. Schrecker said, but must be- blended as best we know how, tak-. ing into account the inevitability- of error. Man must reconcile his- antithetical desires for freedom: and for security,—that is the prob- lem that Descartes has left to. modern philosophy, and it is bal-. anced, only by the great force he. lent to philosophic thought, that Monday, May 1, 1950 THE COLLEGE NEWS a Page Three Miss McBride Reads List of Scholarships (arranged in order of rank in class) Scholarships to be held in : the Senior Year Charles S.

The Junior Vansity score was 6-2, with Ludington making three of the points, and Dawes and Bernheim scoring the rest.

PEIRCE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 1420 Pine Street Philadelphia 2, Pa. a Monday, May 1, 1950 THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Five LAST NIGHTERS : Michelangelo’s Works Make ‘The Titan’ Film History by Jane Augustine, ’52 At a small moving-picture thea- tre on Philadelphia’s Market Street, a movie is now playing that has no human beings in it; yet it tells the story of one of the world’s greatest periods of history and of one of its greatest artists. It is The Titan, the story of Michaelan- gelo. Frederic March, with the help of Michael Sonnabend, a photographer - genius whd can paint pictures with a camera, has successfully revealed the life of Michelangelo, using sculpture and painting only, and the surround- ings in which he worked—never resorting to actors. This approach to an artist’s life is certainly the truest. Any actor’s portrayal of the art- ist must necessarily carry with it a degree of falsehood. For the man’s life as a human being and his artistic life are quite detached from each other; and unless the director is skillful, and the histor- ical details well-known, an attempt to present both sides of the artist’s personality is liable to fail. Usu- ally the movies simply glamorize and distort the social side of a great artist’s life, and neglect his ‘work completely. This movies does the exact opposite; beauty and grandeur, for the phil- osophy behind it, for the actual physical effort it demanded of its creator, and for the influence upon it of the Florentine mode of living, the politics of the Vatican during the Renaissance. The splendid palace of Lorenzo de Medici, “Il Magnifico”, in which the poor young stonecutter lived and worked, is shown in detail; here he created his earliest sta- tues. From Florence, Michelan- angelo went to Rome, where he went through the ruins of the Roman Forum, and explored the pagan beauties of antique re- mains. They inspired his statue, Bacchus. At Rome also, the Christian in- fluence was strong, and he did sev- eral statues of the Virgin Mary. Of these is the incomparably love- ly statue of Mary holding in her arms a Divine Son, crucified. The camera explores, with care and with reverence, every part of the statue. It shows the complete ten- derness of Mary’s expression, and the pathos of the pierced hands and feet of Christ. His face is a man’s face; God has been forced to leave the human form.

Wallace: Last week my mother and I had a very happy day when we got your box and we want to thank you now for your generosity from the bottom of our hearts. How glad we were is difficult to tell, you must know it is the first box we ever got from the U.S.A. and the marvelous things we unpacked were all ours. It seemed to be a sign of heaven not to feel so sad as we often do... Once again I thank you very much for helping us. Now I want to try to tell you who we are. In the beginning of 1945 we had to leave our home, a farm in East Prussia and got with mostly everything lost here a new place to jlive. My father got lost during “the violent days of our flight. Later we learned he has died in Denmark. Two brothers of mine have been killed in aktion during the war and so we are left my mother not feeling better at all, me and my brother who lives in the Hannover area. Our great- est desire is to get possibility to live together. But under the condi- tions of today this is very difficult and we will have to wait for a time till our wish will come true.

Uses No Actors, Recreates Michelangelo Continued from Page 5 Back in Florence, Michelangelo began a work which took him four years. It was the statue of David, symbol of Medici supremacy and the Florentine domination of the Italian Renaissance. The photog- raphy of this statue and Bacchus were as breath-taking as that of the Vingin and the dead Jesus. The slow motion of the camera almost made one think the figures were alive. The details—veins of the hand, folds in the cheek—were shown close up. Here the sculp- tor’s mathematical and minutely perfect knowledge of human an- atomy is revealed in all its unbe- lievable splendor. No one could fail to be impressed. (Michelangelo was also a painter though sculpture was his first love. The Pope commissioned him to design a mural for the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. A panoply of pagan demi-gods and deities sur- rounds panel after panel showing every phase of the Creation of Man, down to the time of the Flood. Here the camera could ex- plore more carefully than the hu- man eye. It showed close-ups of the faces of God the Creator, of Adam and Eve, created, tempted, fallen, and banished from Eden. At the age of sixty, remember- ing the vain attempts of Savona- rola to stem the tide of Renais- sance worldliness and debauchery, Michelangelo began his Last Judg- ment, a mural with the intensity of God’s damnation in it.. His last work was the sculpturing that went into the tomb of the Medici, with its figures of agonized Day and lethargic Night indicating the sculptor’s feeling that the Renais- sance was corrupt and doomed. One’s only regret about The Titan, especially in the scenes of the Medici palace, the Italian countryside and the magnificent murals, is that the filming was not done in color. Otherwise there is no fault to be found in a movie that sets a precedent in movie- making. There should be more giants like The Titan. Continued from Page 5 days.

Combloux is in Haute-Savoie in France and is a rest and study cen- ter for students who have long been undernourished and suffering the after-affects of war. “Dear unknown girl-friends of Bryn Mawr, I have to tell you, that I was particularly happy when I was in- formed of your generous gift.

The islands are land which has sunk below the sea. Only the tops of the mountains still rise above. That is why the jand slopes straight into the water, like the mountains which surround the fjords. You must have seen photographs. The sight is both magnificent and terrifying. Those islands aren’t like the wretched little sandbars we have off the Jersey coast. If we subnierged the Atlantic seaboard up to the Appa- lachians, we could have islands like that too.” Mr. Carpenter paused for a moment, then con- tinued, “The most important thing about the islands is that through the centuries most of them have remained isolated, both from each other and from the rest of the world. Their inhabitants are by descent almost pure Greek, and their language has never been mod- ified by those of other nations. The people of each island have their own distinct way of life. As you travel from island to island you glimpse a series of different worlds. Each people has preserved the same way of life for the last thousand years. How do they live? They terrace their hillsides and plant a little wheat; they pasture goats; in the valleys there are olive orchards. They se a wooden plow, tipped with metal: they can’t plow deep. A tractor would be quite useless. The. fascination of the Aegean Islands is that they are completely out of the current of our civilization.” “I asked Mr. Carpenter how ex- tensive the archeological discover- ies have been there. He replied that on different islands remains from the Neolithic, Mycenaean, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Turkish periods have been unearthed. As I rose to go, Mr. Carpenter looked at me keenly. “Don’t make any mistakes,” he said.
