Class. of 1902 Lecture given on De- -_,cember 14 at Goodhart. Dr. Thou- ‘less is Reader of Psychology at ‘Cambridge. The diverse practices of intolerance, lend themselves to his subject, “The Psychological Problems of Religious Intolerance.” Group solidarity, it appears, is not necessarily dependent on uni- formity of thought, but is reached ' ipy-more basic aims. Further, tol- erance is not gained by mere re- - jection of orthodoxy, as atheism .-is just as intolerant of new ideas » as belief. Some of the arguments most presented on behalf of intolerance are: 1) that it is directed toward keeping the body of faith intact, and, 2) that rejection of novelties ‘of belief serves the end of keeping «. the group together. The main disadvantages of such an attitude are clear. First, it can lead to physical violence, best “proved by past examples of here- ties burned at the stake. Second, ‘- intolerence toward alien ideas tends ' to close the mind against some- thing that may be new and good. Dr. Thouless then cited Hindu- . ism as an example of a tolerant ‘religion. Its absorption of new _.gods and doctrines has turned it . into “a jungle, not a building.” Had _ Christianity and Judaism also held Continued on Page 4, Col. 2 Haverford, Bryn Mawr Present Stephen Benet’s ‘A Childs Born’ by Carol Colebob, °56 A group of Bryn Mawr and Hav- erford students presented Stephen Vincent Benet’s “A Child Is Born” in Haverford’s Common Room on Monday, Decemer 14. The Hav- erford College Faculty Women’s Club sponsored the production. The play was originally planned as a reading, but this group felt that they could better reach their audience by using props and cos tumes. These props and costumes personalized the story to some ex- tent, but its universal significance was not lost. The setting and light- ing done by Bob Masterson and John Beatty, respectively, were simple and effective.

In recent years he has held such positions as Research Assistant in the Iranian Institute, New York City; Lecturer at NYU; Associate professor of Islamic Art at the University of Michigan and his present position. Mr. Ettinghausen, a contribu:or . to several journals, is the author of “Studies in Muslim Iconogra- phy.” | Miss deGraaff Explains The Purpose, History, Future Of A Miss Frances deGraaff, Chair- “man of the Bryn Mawr Russian Department, asked and discussed _the question, “Is Soviet Literature Art?”, on Wednesday evening, De- cember 2, at 7:30 in the Common “Room. Essential to this issue is the question “What is Soviet litera- ‘ture like?”. To answer this ques- “tion, we must try to see what the Soviet ‘people want to do with lit- “erature and what literature is like “from ‘their point of view. ‘ ‘Their -world view presupposes an “absolute belief in man as “the en- ~ gineer of human souls”. Their lack — belief in either humility before ““4God or in original sin, plus their id ethical morality (what is good is “What is good for the community) “pervade the Soviet literature. And ~~ in it, also, is the feeling that they -. alone see the truth and look to- ward the future. “Miss deGraaff feels that since the modern Soviet writer is a mem- ber of the third generation under the new system, he has been im- pressed by it and believes in it; Soviet Literature hence, he will tend to write well within its framework. The writ- er feels that he has a responsibil- ity toward his country, and places his gifts at its service. viewpoint, then, the main purpose of the novel is to raise the morale of the public, to make the less cul- tured more cultured; in short, to serve a utilitarian rather than an aesthetic function. The masses of the Soviet Union read widely and must read well, since there is no “vulgar litera- ture”. With the great reduction in illiteracy, more and more peo- ple want to read, and the writer must serve them. (He cannot be esoteric; he must be clear, but not necessarily monosyllabic.

Elsie Kemp as the innkeeper’s wife maintained an excellent air of solemnity; and if her role seemed over-dramatic in places, it was more than compensated by her im- -pressive closing of the play. The makeup of John Kittredge, the innkeeper, was strikingly re- alistic. His brusqueness suitably complemented the gravity of the lead. Excellent in a minor part was John Hawkins, who played Dismas, a thief. His stealthy man- ner and voice were remarkably well-done, and his declaration of what the Child’s message meant to him was very moving. The other characters were Mar- ilyn Muir as Leah, Charlotte Smith as Sarah, Bruce Reeves as a Ro- man soldier, Bill Moss as Joseph, and Fred Jameson, John Pfaltz, Bill Hitzrat, and Charles Adams as off-stage voices.

Grads Tour Halls Giving St. George by Ruth Rasch, ’57 Mummers from the Grad Center celebrated the Christmas season with a play about Prince George, a Dragon, a Turkish Champion, and a devil. This medieval play was filled with color, rhyme, and lots of good cheer. It agreed with the atmosphere of the showcases, of the halls with their Christmas trees and wreaths. Ushered in by a drum and re- corder, were the King of England, the Prince, the clown, and a doc- tor, The noble doctor, played by Ruby Meager, contrived the defeat lof the devil (for a large fee) with her magic book and powerful cane. The Southern devil, not taking de- feat too seriously, hopped around with his frying pan, hoping for donations. Joy and humor characterized i the entire play as the mummers once more revived an old tradition. Prayer, Hymns, Ensemble Mark Yule’s Services Program Contains Solo, Mixed Chorus, Gospel by Harriette Solow, ’56 “Teach pur hearts a prayer sin- cere enough to thank thee ...a song noble enough to praise thee in perfect tune,” prayed Reverend Andrew Mutch at Bryn Mawr’s annual Christmas Carol Service. The service, mainly a program by the Haverford and Bryn Mawr Glee Clubs, included the traditional reading of the Christmas story by Reverend Mutch and group sing- ing of well-known carols. “Early American Christmas Carols’, crisply and lightly sung, were the first number, followed by the slower moving “Shepherds. Re- joice.” Then the program settled down to a minuet-like pace and mood. “A La Venue de Noel” played by ‘he instrument ensemble seemed to differ little from “Emmanuel” before it, or the “Christmas Can- tata” after it, especially since the violin continued to play the same type of thing in the Cantata. “0 Magnum Mysterium,” more mar- tial in spirit than the other num- bers, provided a break which set off the beautiful Coventry Carol. . “Go Tell _iton the Mountain” can be viewed in two ways. It was a good vehicle for the very pleasing voice of Tod Mikuriya.

C. Nahm Delivers Thesis Relating Da Vinci's Contribution To Philosophy | On Thursday, December 10, in _the Gertrude Ely Room of Wynd 'ham, Dr. Milton Nahm read his | thesis, “Leonardo da Vinci as a Philosopher.” It is difficult, said Dr. Nahm, to procure conclusive knowledge of Leonardo’s philoso- phy because of a certain obscurity and disorganization in his writings. Leonardo’s philosophy is bound up with his painting, and his paint- ing expresses his philosophy. Leonardo held the metaphysical principle that nature is alive, not in man’s power to define the “what- ness” of elements, but in their ef- fect upon each other. Ours is a world of ceaseless change, and movement causes life. Everything proceeds from everything, and ev- erything becomes everything. We should base all our assump- tions, said Leonardo, upon parts and whole, or elements and com- pounds. Parts unite . themselves into a whole to escape from their imperfections. The whole is pres- ent in every part, but the whole differs from the parts. Nature and man differ in that nature is only interested in producing element- ary things, while man is interested in producing compounds from na- ture’s elements. Leonardo felt that man is a mi- crocosm and is not created in God’s image. Like nature, he is a maker and is intelligent. Though Leonardo cannot be con- sidered as great a philosopher as Plato, Aristotle, Galileo, or Hegel, it has been said that his was the most original mind ever produced in the West. This mind produced an unique interpretation of art, as well as valuable contributions to geology and science. Leonardo considered himself an inventor in the field of art. He said that art is an inimitable science, one which cannot be learn- ed from a teacher. Art, therefore, is always new and individual. Many people feel that Leonardo was a sort of prophet and that he produced ideas through a primi- tive and unerring endowment. This, however, would place his genius in the realm of accident and greatly undervalue him.

The debate on Thursday, December 17, at 7:15 was sponsored by S.D.A. and mod- erated by Mary Cahn. “The relationship between indi- vidual and individual disappears when the government steps in”, said Mr. Chodorov, who is a member of the Intercollegiate Society for In- dividualists. Professor Roche ac- cused him of distrusting “common action for the common good.” Lat- er, Mr. Chodorov said “Most of the difficulties we have today are “ Connie Alderson, ‘56 Margaret Schwab, ‘56 Carlene Chittenden, ‘56 Polly Lothman, ‘56 Joan Polk, ‘56 Subscription, $3.50 Subscriptions may begin at any time Mailing price, $4.00 Entered as second class matter at the Ardmore, Pa., Post Office Under the Act of March 3, 1879 But Once A Year A special kind of madness settles over Bryn Mawr just It is a combination of utter exhaustion, hope for relief if we can hang on a few more days, and a before Christmas. genuine Christmas spirit.

F. Woodbury, former head of the de- partment who has been in Europe for the last seven years. There, as chief of the International Labor Organization’s Bureau ef Women and Children she has had an op- portunity to observe the status of the people and their working con- ditions. She left her job recently, and with her husband, has return- ed to Bryn Mawr to live. At the tea on Wednesday, De- cember 7, she told a little of her experiences and of the ideas she had gleaned from her work. Grad- ually, she said, the world around us is becoming — social-welfare- minded.

He explained that it includes the blind, the unemployed and other needy groups whose care has been shifted through the years from neighboring persons to the coun- ty, state, and finally the national level. This is the most efficient method since our society has become less agricultural, making essentials, like food, harder for the general public to obtain. Mr. Chodorov’s second point was that Social Security is not insur- ance but a tax. The money is put _into the U. S. Treasury where Con- gress may use it. He said that there is no reserve fund, and the money is put into bonds and it goes :into circulation. The employer in- cludes Social Security as an expen- diture and raises his prices, thus stimulating inflation and decreas- ing the value of money received. He also said that for people with high incomes, the money received under Social Security is not pro- portional to the amount they give. The government has a_ reserve fund—of $18,000,000,000—which it must keep because it would flood the stock market and result in gov- ernment control of industry, coun- tered Professor Roche, NOTICE TO SENIORS AND GRADUATE STUDENTS: The Ford Foundation Board on Overseas Training and Re- search is offering Scholarships and Fellowships in Soviet and East European Studies and Foreign Study and Research Fel- lowships for the year 1954-1955. their responsibilities in the com- munities. Their problems are so great that they make conditions in the United States seem perfect. In places like the Middle East there is constant poverty and degrada- tion, combined with a complete lack of community feeling. But the situation is made more hope- ful by the budding interest and the desire to improve the situation that the governments show. From World War II until now the ILO, which started under the League of Nations and then fell under the jurisdiction of the 'U. N. “has begun to give actual services, instead of merely performing re- search.” The heartening part of that program is that it is not only the big countries like the United States and Great Britain who are helping. Countries like India, In- donesia are aiding all other coun- tries in whatever way they can. She added that if, in reading the newspapers, we should become dis- couraged about the progress of the United Nations, we must realize that much of the work which this organization does is behind-the- | scenes and unpublicized. The organizations such as the World Health Organization, or the Food and Agriculture unit are do- ing real work and are just as vital as other better-known U. N. or- ganizations. The latter are specifically for Asia and the Near and Middle East. All those _ interested should see the dean. Letter To Editor Note ‘Informs’ Students Of Brain-washing At BM C Dear Editor: Recently I received a_ letter from a prominent citizen of a mid- western community informing me that at Bryn Mawr I was being subjected to a “gentle brain-wash- ing.” This belief, one can only presume, was formulated by his own political convictions. I bring this to your attention because the implications of this accusation af- fect us all. It is a particularly ugly manifestation of a type of thinking becoming more and more familiar. “Brain washing” is a _ terrible process. It is not a term to be , bandied about. In an atmosphere of mental stagnation it can occur —but it can not take place in an atmosphere of freely exchanged ideas where the development of the individual is deemed of highest importance. . Sincerely, Laura Lee Stearns, ’56 “Wednesday, December 16,1953 Current Events Mr. Brown Interprets History, Effects Of White Case “The Harry Dexter White case], yhas many far-reaching implica- tions affecting foreign and domes- tic issues and civil liberties,” said Dr. Donald Brown in speaking at Current Events on November 23. Dr. Brown first reviewed the history of the case. White, who was not a public figure during his service with the Treasury Depart- ment, is not generally regarded as being a Communist, but as having suspicious contacts. His investi- gation by the F.B.I. was brought to the attention of Truman, who nevertheless appointed him Execu- tive Director of United States In- termonetary Fund. Brownell charg- ed that Truman had been blind, although not subversive, in doing 30, but Truman defended himself by saying that it was done in or- der to keep an eye on White and not arouse the suspicion of the Communist Party. J. Edgar Hoover of the F.B.I. then testified that his organization was never a part of the plan, but that he had warned Truman that White was a dangerous risk. Political Gesture In evaluating the case Dr. Brown said that it was necessary to realize that when the case broke Truman had been in office only six months and had tremendous de- cisions to make following the war. Also, friendly relations with Rus- sia meant that there was little concern about Communism in gov- ernment. Therefore Truman can only be charged with blindness in his handling of the affair. Dr. Brown feels that the domes- tic implications of the case are chat Eisenhower has lost some ccn- trol of the Republican Party, which is using the White case for politi- cal purposes. agreement with Leonard Hall over the question of Communism in government as an issue in the next eleg@tion shows that he has lost some control of his administration. Dr. Brown believes that the Re- publicans brought up the case as a purely political gesture, focus- sing attention on the previous ad- ministration’s mistakes instead of on the recent Republican election losses and the criticism being leveled at Secretary of Agriculture Benson. “ However, the issue may backfire on the Republicans. It attacked Trumzn, who still has tremendous popular appeal; it may unite the Democrats against the Republican program; and it created adverse ‘oreign comment. Civil Liberties Dr.. Brown believes that the the White case also presents a threat to civil liberties in the coun- try. Brownell might continue to select and edit information from the F.B.I. files, which has never before been permitted. The case also gives an added impetus tr McCarthyism and increases the at- mosphere of fear in the country. Brownell has also asked legisla- tion permitting wire-tapping evi- dence to be used in court, which has previously been regarded as contrary to the American iradition of personal privacy. In its effect on foreign opinion, Dr. Brown said that Europe was left aghast. The effect on NATO is unforeseen, but we have not im- pressed them with ou? political maturity. In closing, Dr. mended that a bi-partisan study of the case be made. Eisenhower’s dis-! Miss Holborn Discusses Britain’s Views On U. S. A. “British Critics of the United States” was Miss Hanna Holborn’s topic at Current Events on Novem- ber 30. She stressed the often- overlooked fact that those who criticize the U. S. aren’t necessar- ily anti-American. Discussion of Anglo-American differences is im- portant, -since relationships with England have been deteriorating during the past few months. We eannot disregard these differences; they must be recognized, under- stood, and dealt with. Miss Holborn spoke first of criti- cisms concerning our foreign pol- icy. These we hear from all po- litical quarters in England. The most severe criticism is reserved not for the aims of our policy, but for the techniques and methods by which we atempt to carry them out. Our, lack of flexibility is felt to be our main weakness; many go so far as to insinuate that we do not have a policy, but merely a” stubborn point of view. That our policy is too dependent on our do- mestic crises is a British opinion. Britains feel that our policy is too dependent on whatever election is impending, and that Congress, and not the State Department, actual- ly formulates foreign policy. Fear of McCarthyism, isolation- ists, and the opinions of military personnel are among the influenc- es the British believe to affect the State Department. In pressing for new solutions, the U. S. succumbs to a feeling of fear and near hys- teria; this affects foreign policy, and ultimately we may find our- selves with no solution at all, ac- cording to our neighbors across the sea. Churchill’s recent proposal for a four-power conference met with great enthusiasm in Britain. The negative American approach to the idea generated feeling that the U. S. is terrified of political reper- cussions. The “rigid” attitude of Secretary of State Dulles, and the recent Harry Dexter White case, have confirmed the bleak view of our policy which some British crit- ics are inclined to take. The U. S. concerns herself with Far East policy to the point of ne- glecting Europe, in Britain’s opin- ion. The supposition that the U. S. thinks of Britain as being Eng- land, and not as the Commonwealth of Nations, also disturbs the Brit- ish. Concerning German rearma- ment, the British, while sensing the necessity for it, fee] that it is a serious problem, and that the U. S. may be depending decreas- ingly on Britain and more and more on Germany, in this respect. The pro-Zionist policy of the U. S. has long been criticized ‘by Britain, and other differences center around the Pacific pact negotiations and the Indian question. In criticizing U. S. domesic pol- icy, the British feel that the econ- omy cannot be stabilized unless there is more opportunity for Brit- ish trade. Bevan is a most influen- tial British critic. Clement Attlee differs with Bevan in that he tends to see the positive effects of rear- mament in Western Europe. The Conservatives, while ready to crit- icize the U. S., feel that England should ally herself with either the U. S. or Russia, even though each nation’s policy does contain flaws. Brown recom-' Recently Senator McCarthy asked that people write letters to the President condemning aid to countries trading with Red China. Others felt that letters should be written de- fending the present policy. The Alliance wishes to sug- gest that anyone who feels strongly write letters support- ing either view. wu) Wednesday, December 16, 1953 Nie ‘S THE COLLEGE NEWS oN Page Three The Readers And The Novel Comprise Topic Of Guillen’s Lecture On Tuesday especially contributed by Mary Hoak, °54 On Tuesday afternoon The Span-| ish Club presented Senor Claudio Guillen, from Princeton, who spoke in the Common Room. His sub- ject was “La novel y su lector”. Senor Guillen first discussed the problem involved in studying the novel. There are, he said, many types of novels and, although many people classify all prose works as novels, it is necessary to distin- guish among and to limit this field in order really to understand the novel. Senor Guillen concentrated on the relation between the novel and the reader and showed the great power which the novel has over the audience. The Creation of a fictitious world comes to the read-! er as a reality; the novel has the For Original Xmas Greetings, Buy Your Cards at DINAH FROST A Merry Christmas from the Mexican Shop power to change his life at the mo- ment in which he is reading.
