VOL. XLVII—NO.9 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1961 %) Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1961 PRICE 20 CENTS ooo U.S. And Russian Women Confer On Peace, Disarmament Questions At the invitation of the United States Section of the Women’s Inter- national League for Peace and Free- dom and the Jane Addams Peace As- sociation, a group of distinguished Soviet women representing many fields of professional endeavor came to this country as individuals to meet with a group of American women in an informal conference on problems of peace and disarmament. The con- ference in which ten Soviet women and twelve American women took part was held at The Deanery. It was decided in advance that no statement would be issued ex- cept in those areas where there was full agreement. While the discussion ranged over many fields and there was divergence between the views of the two groups and among the Amer- ican women, it was possible to reach the following statement on which all members of the conference agreed. Excerpts of the statement released by the League: We, a group of Soviet and American women,-have met together at Bryn Mawr on November 21-27, 1961 for a frank and informal discussion of vital problems facing the peoples of the world. The developments of modern war tech- nology—nuciear, chemical and biological —have come to a point where not only war itself, but the preparations for it threaten the safety, the well-being and the very survival not only of the nations engaged in the preparations, but of all mankind. Therefore, we declare our belief in the urgency of taking all necessary measures to meet the danger facing mankind . . . We believe . . . our two countries must find a way to grow and develop in an atmosphere of peace between ourselves and_with the other peoples of the world .. . our two tremendously powerful coun- tries have a special responsibility to ini- tiate a system of necessary concrete mea- sures for general and complete disarma- ment-and vigorously to carry them out . . . we Tejoice that a “Joint Statement of Agreed Principles for Disarming Nego- tiations” was presented to the United Na- tions by the U.N. Ambassadors of our countries, Mr. V. ©. Zorin and Mr. Adlai Stevenson on September 20, 1961, as a basis for the widest possible agreement at the earliest possible date. These principles would ensure that: (1) ‘disarmament is general and com- plete;’ (2) ‘states will have at their disposal only those non-nuclear armaments, forces, facilities, and establishments as are agreed to be necessary to maintain internal order and protect the personal security of citi- zens; and that states shall support and provide agreed manpower--for-.a United, Nations peace force;’ (3) ‘the disarmament program should be implemented in an agreed sequence; (4) ‘All measures of general and com- plete disarmament should be balanced so that at no stage of the implementation of the treaty could any State or group of States gain military advantage;’ UWF Wants Law | And Disarmament The United World Federalists is an organization devoted to achieving world peace and disarmament through the strengthening of the United Na- tions. The members believe that only with world law and total multi-lateral disarmament will world peace be pos- sible. The basic platform of the United World Federalists includes these three points: Freedom from war through universal and enforceable disarmament under world law, enforced under proper. safeguards and applicable to all nations and to all individuals; Growing use of the world’s resources to meet the problems of poverty, hunger, disease and ignorance; Opportunity for the world’s peoples to pursue in their own ways, free from external violence and outside interference, their own moral and material develop- - Continued on Page 6, Col. 2 | petitive. (5) ‘all disarmament measures should be implemented. from beginning to end under such strict and effective internation- al control as would provide firm assur- ance that all parties are honoring their obligations;’ (6) ‘to implement control over and _ in- spection of disarmament, an International Disarmament Organization including al. parties to the agreement should be creat- ed within the framework of the United Nations ..... ’ We call upon our governments to safe- guard the survival of the peoples of the world by now speedily negotiating a test ban treaty and by promptly initiating an agreement on general and complete dis- armament, in accordance with the above Principles. With general and complete disarmament there will be released vast amounts of material and human resources, cultural and scientific skills all of which may and should be expended for the ben- efit of mankind, the maintenance of peace, the increase of understanding among the peoples of the world, the development of industry and agriculture in the devel- oping countries, and particularly the im- provement of the health, welfare and ed- ucation of children in all countries: We urge that the problems involving Germany be resolved promptly by negotiations. We urge both our governments to work actively toward the removal of obstacles to this end. We support the United Na- tions. We recommend the following: (1) The increase of exchanges between our two countries—students, tourists, and those working in cultural and_ scienific fields; also increase in exchanges of cul- tural and scientific materials, books, films, exhibitions and popular literature condu- cive to peace; (2) The establishment of joint research projects between the U.S.S.R. and the U.S.A. in the fields of medical research— such as cancer and cardiac’ diseases; the exploration of the depths of the oceans, the interior of the earth, and outer space. (3) The establishment under formal in- ternational auspices of a research center devoted to problems of peace. Urban-Progresg-. Results of NSA Poll Reveal ‘Metropolomania Senator Clark Says As part of Undergrad’s program of study of cities and suburbs, Sen- ator Joseph Sill Clark spoke Monday night in Goodhart Hall'on the sub- ject “The Problems of Greater Phila- delphia’s Future.” Senator “Clark referred to the “Met- ropolomania”—“big city - madness” that is rapidly enveloping the world. The problems resulting can be class- ified’ in three main groups: survival, amenities, and administration. In the first area, an adequate sup- ply of water for consumption, agri- culture, industrial, and recreative purposes is vital. A significant step in this direction was taken by the formation of an agency under the Delaware River Compact, which, in planning the use of the Delaware Valley water supply, will insure ad- equate water in this area. The transportation of people and goods in, around and through the area by land, sea, and air, is a second prob- lem. Although there are instances of faulty planning, such as the Schuyl- kill Expressway, other aspects of the transportation system, especially air transportation, are adequate, if over- crowded. The need for shelter—industrial and commercial as well as residen- tial—is dependent upon adequate zoning and facilties. Although prog- ress in this area has been slow, Ur- ban Renewal and other programs are beginning to take advantage of the “potential” for improvement. An “industrial and commercial core,” around which the city may revolve and from which money will be “created,” is another basic ne- Continued on Page 2, Col. 5 ‘Anti Nuclear Students expressed their opinions en the United States’ atmospheric testing. of nuclear weapons in a poll sponsored by the National Student Association. The results of the poll will go to the NSA, which plans to tabulate’ the national response and send the policy it formulates on the Teuber Examines Perception Effect Of Brain Lesions Hans Teuber,- chairman of the M.I. T. Psychology department, pre- sented the results of his work on the effect of brain injuries on perception in a Sigma Xi lecture last Tuesday. His discoveries indicate that func- tions of particular parts of the brain are not so specific as scientists had formerly believed. They had thought that each part of the brain was re- sponsible for one function, but that it did not interact with other portions of the brain in performing its spe- cial function, or other unrelatéd ones. Mr. Teuber worked with a group of 282 adults, all of whom had brain injuries penetrating the central ner- vous system, such as those caused by bullet wounds, but who did not nec- essarily show the syndromes (series of symptoms) characteristic of their injuries. As a control, he used a group of 118 whose wounds had pen- etrated only the peripheral nervous system. He analyzed the groups by the lo- cation of their injuries and by their symptoms in order to answer the fol- lowing! questions: How specific or dif- Continued on Page 2, Col. 4 Reviewer Lauds Venus Observed Performance; Cites Individual Actors, Sets As Professional by Guy Davenport _. English Department Haverford College The Haverford College Drama Club and Bryn Mawr College Thea- ter’s production of Christopher Fry’s Venus Observed, November 17 and 18, at Roberts Hall, was a superbly mounted, energetically acted perfor- mance. The actors made their way through the play’s verbal density al- [most without hazard, achieving sev- eral moments of real theatrical fine- ness in which the brilliance of the poetry stood clear and transparent, and the professional level was a high one indeed. Christopher Fry takes his title from Thomas Otway’s randy old play of 1682, Venice Preserv’d, but there the resemblance ends. Fry, like Shakespeare, works with a dramatic form which is actually a long poem, perhaps a correlated cycle of poems spoken by actors who, under the con- vention of comedy, are directing our attention to images within their speeches rather than to the dramatic gestur@s: they make on the stage. That why the play is laughably melody And why the inatten- tive are likely to*See the.play.as a light English comedy about an aging rake, three mistresses, and the Duke’s “extension in time,” a son who is be- ginn‘ng to have ideas which, in ‘such a household, can only be called com- The real play, however, lies in the poetry and its speculative wit, and in the -imaginary world ‘which the poetry projects. Hence the importarice of clarity on the ac- tors’ parts. And clarity the actors had, admir- ably, except for the minor parts. My ears are pretty good and I went to the play with a long-standing know- ledge of the text, but I could make nothing of Mr. Bobroynikov, who played Reddleman, or of Mr. Robert Toan, who played Bates. The trou- ble lay in their dialects and perhaps in their mastery of a stage voice, so that the~ two~ineptitudes-.sabotaged. some very funny lines. The other voices were clearly worked out, though one wondered about Mr. Hauri’s dialect from time to time, as it ranged from lower-class English to Central European. Andreas Lehner impersonated the Duke well, if a trifle too languidly. The convention seemed to be under- stood that lax morals lead to a pre- cious vagueness of personality, and the convention doesn’t square away with what one knows of lady-killers. ‘Rob Colby as Perpetua was properly misty-eyed and her voice a delight to listen to. The three mistresses were played by Wendy Westbrook, Nina Sutherland, and Kasha Gula. All three roles were done well,- but Miss Sutherland’s Jessie Dill should be singled_out.as a neat triumph in comic acting. Danny Turner’s inter- pretation was also good. Peter Moscovitz’s Edgar, the Duke’s son, must be placed just after Miss Colby’s Perpetua ‘as one of the best things in the play. And in its way, Ted Hauri’s Reedbeck, despite a ranging eclecticism of voices, was an entertaining piece of comic doings. As to sets and costumes, they seemed astonishing professional. Jane Rose’s backdrops were in the spirit of the play, and handsomely done. Professor Butman’s direction was even better than usual; that is, of a high excellence. Reviewing (as here) a college production of a modern play, both reader and reviewer are apt to be conscious of a certain make- believe, especially in the America of movies; Broadway, and wholly un- called for extravagances of advertis- ing. The famous American chip-on- the-shoulder of inferiority is nothing more than a feeling that what is home-made and parochial is indispu- tably inferior (that is, out of the run- ning with Broadway and David O. Selznick). This is both a pity and a mistake. First of all, colleges and play-acting have always been closely bound, and amateur acting is as old and respectable as professional. Har- vard opens more plays per year than Broadway and off-Broadway, and the college productions all over the Unit- ed States constitute the large part of the American theatrica] tradition. Nor are the off-Broaway productions of plays (which are there because they are too good to make a million dollars in the tourist trade on Broad- way) any better done than average college productions. I say this be- cause our production of Venus Ob- served was very close to being what is known as “professional,” and I see no reason why we in the community should ever feel that the plays which are mounted for us and acted by stu- dents can only be appreciated in a homely spirit of humility, It is a privilege to have seen the play. One can only wish that all the arts were treated with such gusto on our two campuses. gia ie Test Feeling basis of that response to President Kennedy. Of:716 Bryn Mawr under- graduates, 382, or 46% of the student body, returned the questionnaire. , . Those ‘who gave their opinions chose among four viewpoints on the subject of nuclear testing. The first position, supported by 139 students, 42% of the total voting, stated: “I urge that the United States government refrain from re- suming its own atmospheric nuclear tests, so long as such a policy does not jeopardize the deterrent capabili- ties of the United States.” The second viewpoint: “I urge that the United States government re- frain from resuming its own atmos- pheric nuclear tests under any cir- cumstances” received approval of 110 voters, 33% of the total. The third stand: “I urge that the United States resume its own atmos- pheric nuclear tests” won 23 tallies, 7% of the total vote. Fifty-four students or 16% -sup- ported the fourth choice on the bal- lot: abstension. Of this group, 44 checked: “I feel that I do not have sufficient information,” eight said: “I do not feel that students have the right to take a stand on the issue,” and two gave both these reasons for abstaining. Thomas Declares Fall-Out Shelters Breed Immorality Norman Thomas, speaking on dis- armament and world peace ata Cur- rent Events Club meeting November 20, began with the premise that ma- jor war is unthinkable today and that minor wars are impossible” because they will escalate into major ones and because any nuclear atack will engender a chain of retaliation that will destroy mankind, The chief spokesman for the Socialist Party and presidential candidate in many past: campaigns spoke out firmly against resumption of nuclear test- ing in the atmosphere and against the building of bomb and fall-out shelters, Mr. ‘Thomas recognizes man’s di- lemma: emotionally, he.cherishes war as an ancient habit, while intellectu- ally he realizes that war is no longer possible. The problem is that there has been no growth in individual self- control and social institutions: to match the growth of power. Mr. Thomas suggests a four point solu- tion: total, multi-lateral disarmament; strengthening of the United Nations; disengagement from commitments which never should have been made and a cooperative war against “the world’s: bitter poverty.” Speaking directly against the re- sumption of nuclear tests in the at- mosphere, Mr. Thomas noted that our restraint would offer an oppor- tunity to make a breakthrough in the arms race. In the world of accidents and passions, worship of nationalism and military security, he said, we can- not afford to continue the race to- wards destruction. The worst aspect of the arms race, according to Mr. Thomas, is its’ ten- dency to lead towards a garrison state. Law and morality disappear in the name of national security. Mr. Thomas..cited the Scales case, in which a man was convicted of being an “active” member the Commu- nist Party although’he had given up his party membership. The man in question, he added, is still in jail.

It is a type of undertaking that the News ofter’ dreams about but must forget in thé weekly drudgery of |\i headline writing, chasing campus officers and its own report- ers and in the time-consuming academia. We are giad to see our contents enriched; we hope that Akoue recurs trequently and we hope that it will receive the support of the campus. - An Alternative to Shelters Recently, a California woman sent a thousand doliar check to U ‘I‘hant, Secretary-General of the United Nations, instead of using the money to build her own fall-out shelter. Some residents of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, who were also - distressed by the “‘talk of burrowing underground, ” the false security fostered by the Civil Defense and a governmental approach which they believed to be deceptive, re-endorsed their faith in the United Nations in a statement and with financial aid*. Inspired by the, leads of these people, a pro- gram has been initiated on the Bryn Mawr campus. Peggy Jones:and Ellen Magaziner, founders of the Bryn Mawr movement, have issued the following statement ex- pressing their opinions concerning the actions of the North Carolinians and the California woman and their plans for supplementing these actions. “Mrs. Elwood’s decision to support the UN with a $1000 check instead of building a fall-out shelter with the same money is more than just an act of charity. By thus tangibly asserting her faith in the UN as the best possible protection against war, she set an example which others, who belie with her that it is better to put one’s energies into the strug- gle against war than into the dubious struggle for survival in the event of nuclear war, sine do well to follow. We feel that now, in the midst of the furor over fall-out and blast shelters, is the time for a bold statement of popular belief in the UN. “‘We need more than a mere negative response to the cur- rent. controversy. Help create a meaningful positive re- sponse: Mobilize campus opinion in favor of this concrete expression of’ trust in the UN rather than in bomb shel- ters, and help with a contribution — large, small or medium — to be sent to Secretary General U Thant with a letter of explanation. Only with the active support of both people and governments can the UN be a meaningful organization.” The News can only urge support of this program.

UNICEF Not only as an answer to the Daughters of the American Revolution, but in support of its own convictions, the News urges all Bryn Mawrters to convey their Christmas wishes through UNICEF greeting cards. UNICEF cards are inex- pensive, easily obtained, and give a deeper meaning to the spirit behind the greeting. Buying a box of UNICEF cards can be a reaffirmation of a belief in the United Nations as an organization dedicat- ed to peace and. brotherhood; but one’s personal faith in the . efficiency of a world body or in the trustworthiness of the Eastern bloc need not enter into consideration here. Much more important, the purchase of these cards is an indication of physical support of the UNICEF program.

A workshop, which emerged as a .,ecture-demonstration by the dancers and musicians, was held on Goodhart stage the afternoon before the per- .ormance, with the aim of introducing an untrained American audience .to various aspects of the East Indian dance in general, to the particular styles which evolved in different parts of the country, and to the music. _ Although many of the intricacies of pattern, rhythm, and dramatic symbolism must necessarily have been ost through unfamiliarity, the com- pany presented an imaginatively ‘se- .ected and exquisitely performed pro- gram which was in vivid contrast to Western dance forms, whether ballet or jazz, formal or dramatic. For in- stance, the strictly disciplined, ritual- istic style of South India, called Znarata Natyam, made use of facial expression and highly representation- al hand positions called mudras which are entirely foreign to our tradition of choreography, Again, the elabor- ately dramatic Kuchipudi style, with its sudden spoken interjections, bears little resemblance to its ‘counterpart in modern ballet and musical comedy. The Bryn Mawr Friends of Music made an unusual opportunity avail- able to the college in bringing Indrani and her company to the campus. Letter to the Editor To tne Editor: A management that is trying to keep its fingers on the pulse of the campus would realize that the music reviews it has printed for over a year are completely inadequate and vapid. The same comments. appear every time with a change only in the titles of the music performed. It ‘would be sheer pleasure to pick up an issue of the News and to find, for once, a critical review which con- tains more substance than the usual meaningless euphonious phrases and which shows considerable musical knowledge on the part of the writer.

The two big numbers, the play by Heddy Fairbank and the modern dance, took place appropriately on stage. The division pointed up the program’s imbalance, its bias toward music, Of this, however, there was a consistent- ly excellent variety. Leading off singing ballads were “Kelly and Micky,” (Micky Webb and Bob Kelly) each of whom had distinctive styles and voices, though both blended their phrasing excellent- ly. Next came some classical relief | . executed with a professional air by Kathy Silberblatt. There followed the first movement of Brahms’ Quin- tet opus 115 for clarinet done by Nina Greenberg, Bob Berman, Barbara Dancis, Ellen Magaziner, and Don Reinfeld, all of whom moved well to- gether and in thé second half expand- e their dynamics range appropriate- ly. Pete Peterson then obliged with some nightclubby relief and got the audience singing along with him, thanks to the Kingston Trio, that bane of the esoteric and/or authentic folksinger. Heddy Fairbank’s play broke upon the audience with a Dali eclat that was as clever as it was funny. The thirteen performers played each line to the hilt and enjoyed it with dia- bolic relish, Indeed because of the play’s brevity, each Tite had to be drawn out for all it was worth; this technique of performance and writ- ing combined with the abruptness of Perception Continued from Page 1, Col. 4 fuse are the results of injuries? How are higher (associative) and lower (sensory) functions related? Which functions are controlled by the front- al lobes, which by those toward the rear? While scotoma (a loss of vision in a specific area of the visual field) was found to be related to the posi- tion of injury, substantiating the theory that position of injury and loss of function are specifically relat- ed, there was also a series of data which contradicts this conclusion. These results suggest that specific and diffuse results of injuries coexist, that an injury in one spot of the brain will cause a specific perception deficit in some part of the body as well as deficits that might have been caused by injuries in other locations. In a number of cases, patients who had sense and recognition prob- lems with one hand, caused by a spe- cific injury, would have only a recog- |. nition deficit in the other hand, with- out showing the corresponding lesion. Thus, it is believed that “lower” and “higher” functions are partially but not totally dissociated. The third of the questions is still not answered to Mr. Teuber’s satis- faction, but he finds in his results to date a contradiction with previous beliefs. Thus, Mr. Teuber feels that he is accumulating data which will lead to the refutation of the theory that each part of the brain has.one and only one function. Eventually, he feels that he will be able to show that, in addition to a specific function, each portion of the brain contributes to general perception ability. ings.

The Recorder “Trio then piped through several songs. A second big number ended the evening: two modern dances’ with music by Roger Mason and choreo-' graphed by Ann Carter Mason. “Woodcutter” was sung by Wanda Bershen and danced by Leslie Hart- ley and Senta Driver and demonstrat- ed the growing skill of Bryn Mawr’s adventurous and dedicated dance club. “Ritual” was a large and ex- citing attempt which needed more co- ordination and less cramped quarters. But the important thing about it was the clear form and spirit of the dance communicated by the dancers as well as the music. There was nothing banal about the driven, marching ec- stasy of the basic movement, and the large cutting gesture of leg and arm was especially effective.

The four vital issues in the realm of “amenities” are open space; air pollution; intergroup relations; and the future of education, the arts, and the sciences. The first two problems are primarily dependent upon plan- ning and inter-county control. Regard- ing group relations, Senator Clark urged that “all creeds and religions be able to live in relative harmony . . without bigotry and prejudice. Cul- tural progress is surprisingly weak in an area boasting of a great num- ber of excellent colleges, facilities for musical, artistic, dramatic, and lit- erary expression. Administrative difficulties spring primarily from poor regional plan- ning, for “political jealousy makes co-operative planning quite second rate” and tax structure controversy. Since the State, by its constitution, is unable to levy a state income tax, and since the Federal government usurps a large part of the funds in the area, the state must finance its services by means of a limited and regressive sales tax. In conclusion, Senator Clark refer- red again to the “irreversible trend” towards cities in this shrinking world, and urged that “we (not) ignore the human goals ‘jor which the city was built.” “Cities are meant to serve people, people aren’t meant to serve cities.” The purpose of the: metropol- itan area, he pointed out, “is to. see that all people can live in. freedom + + « No eitangene: Ge, selina a De) i ‘SAPERE AUDE’ j VOLUME I, NUMBER 1 BRYN MAWR, PENNSYLVANIA DECEMBER 6, 1961 Bron Mawr’ s Educational Philosophy Tradition and Challenge Bryn Mawr has been unique in its approach ‘to the dilemmas of educa- tional philosophy. In our concern with depth rather than breadth we are unlike most other American wom- en’s colleges. Bryn Mawr has not attempted ‘to develop a glib “cocktail party”’ familiarity with as many di- verse fields as possible. Instead, ‘our emphasis on the development of a clear °and : disciplined mind through a study of representative works and problems has given rise to the com- ment that Bryn Mawr is a “woman’s college for men.” Bryn Mawr’s unique educational philosophy raises many important and disturbing questions for the stu- dent.’ ‘Is education in depth a justi- fiable goal for the woman who has no professional aspirations? More- over, if it i8 justifiable, has the indi- vidual ‘Bryn Mawr student taken full advantage of her educational oppor- tunities?. Has she come to a per- sonal and critical evaluation of how and what and why she is learning? Is she.aware of. the power of the collective student voice as an instru- merit for change? In wrestling with these’ broad and undeniably complex questions,,we must first examine the historical sources of our educational philosophy. Next, we must criticize and evaluate Bryn. Mawr’s consis- tency in.the application of its educa- tional principles, Finally, we must view our educational philosophy as a challenge to carry on the Bryn Mawr tradition of dynamic innovation. Joseph Wright Taylor, founder. of the college, was interested in women’s education because of the Quaker tra- dition which recognizes women as the mental and spiritual equals of men. His original plan for the college therefore emphasized the Quaker moral and ethical values. According to Taylor’s: will, the avowed purpose of Bryn Mawr was “the guarded ad- vanced Christian education of fe- males” giving them “all the advan- tages ‘of a college education which are”sé freely offered to young men.” To ‘insure the accomplishment of this purpose, the college was to remain small, guaranteeing the best of edu- cations to a highly select group of students under the guidance of an equallyoutstanding faculty. .\M. Carey Thomas, the second Pres- ident of the college, devoted herself tothe cause of advanced education for women. Her vibrant energy and ._détermination ._ have earned — Miss Thomas “her. well-deserved position as the guiding spirit of Bryn Mawr. At the age of fourteen she wrote in her diary, “If I ever live and grow up, my one aim and concentrated purpose shall be and is to show that women can learn, can reason, can edmpete with men in the grand fields of literature and sciencé and conjec- titre that open before the nineteenth century, that a woman can be a wom- an and 4 true one without having’ all her ‘time engrossed by dress and so- ciety.” Indirectly, by her own ex- ample as a scholar, and directly, as an educator, M. Carey Thomas set new standards of teaching and schol- arship. in. women’s. educations. Hav- ing completed her: undergraduate study at Cornell, and finding it im- possible to receive a Ph.D. in Amer- i ‘she,went to Europe. and was fin- ally awarded a Ph.D. summa cum laude at the University of Zurich. Her achievement as a scholar gained her a position at the new college, Bryn Mawr, and gave her the oppor- tunity of implementing her ideas for advanced education. She required that the Bryn Mawr faculty be aca- demic specialists and scholars so that the students could be trained as specialists, and so that the challeng- ing instruction would teach women to think for themselves. Miss Park, third President of the college, stressed particularly the im- portance of the individual student. She recognized the same importance of providing the best possible educa- tion for women, but also recognized the importance of developing matur- ity and responsibility. Under her direction the course system became much less specifically defined, on the assumption that each girl should be able to plan her program herself. The honor system was instituted and the Self-Government Association, which had been established through student initiative during Miss Thomas’ administration, was revamp- ed and revitalized; social conduct was henceforth under the students’ jurisdiction. ‘The strictly formal re- lationship between the faculty ‘and students, which had been firmly estab- lished by M. Carey Thomas, was re- laxed, and the importance of close faculty-student collaboration was em- phasized. In What Makes a College Cornelia Meigs says of Miss Park’s policy that “above all there was to be ample opportunity for consulta- tion between professor and student. Particularly for upperclassmen there should be generous. individual atten- tion and guidance in the chosen dis- CINUNG «5 ee" This concern for the individual and emphasis of the well-educated spe- cialist resulted in a policy of “breadth and depth” to which the college still adheres. According to the Bryn Mawr Calendar 1961-1962, “The un- dergraduate program emphasizes both depth and breadth of knowledge and understanding. No field is so broad that it cannot take advantage’ of the specialist’s deep understanding; no specialty is so obscure that it may not profit from a breadth of percep- tion.” In Miss Thomas’ time, the breadth and depth principle was articulated into a double major system which has ‘since developed into a single major| with allied subjects. Miss McBride has deepened insight into this concept by stating that study in depth nec- essarily 1éads to breadth; a thorough and deep understanding of any giv- en problem logically results in an awareness of the breadth and scope of the other fields that relate to it. Obviously, the depth policy is the logical one for the serious woman scholar who plans on further gradu- ate or professional study. But is this emphasis on concentrated and individual-work-in-a-specificfield_jus- tified when we consider the tradi- tionally domestic role of the Amer- ican woman? Miss McBride—main- tains that one of the prime reasons for the depth policy as applied to the strong single major is to give the student a firm grounding in her field and a taste of genuine scholarship, Writing Chairmen IAB RA Porter, dh Rariard, J Sian 2) “AKOUE” eecroeveeveese eee vee eo & Research Chairman. ee ees !

Staff eeoeweeereeer er eee eee so that if she marries and has chil- dren, she has the solid academic back- ground that will enable her to re- sume her studies. She also has dis- ciplined her mind in such a manner as to be able to approach any field which interests her with a critical faculty. Thus the philosophy of Bryn Mawr today emerges as that of a small liberal arts college interested in in- stilling in its students a basic under- standing of the work of scholarship. A deep and penetrating foundation in one subject becomes a basis for schélarship in her own field as well as enlightened continuation of the lifetime task of self-education. The question remains as to wheth- er Bryn Mawr is always consistent with its educational philosophy. It is obvious that the four course sys- tem, the strong major, the require- ments in general, the principle of the honors paper, the limited size of the college, are all logical outgrowths of the emphasis on concentrated indi- vidual scholarship.. But it might be asked how the science major, the double language requirement, the lack of a general senior thesis to re- place the honors paper, and the pres- ent application of the, literature re- quirement conform to Bryn Mawr’s educational convictions. What is the place of the science major in a liberal arts college? A gcod foundation in the sciences re- quires many more courses than do the humanities. A science major at Bryn Mawr is limited to four, or at most five, courses per year, and is bound, moreover, to fulfill a certain number of humanities requirements. Therefore, she is left with little or no chance to take other courses in the humanities. According to Mrs. Marshall, the science departments fee] that eleven courses in the scien- ces are necessary for a solid founda- tion in the field. A deep study of the humanities eventually results in breadth because the fields are so in- extricably interrelated; depth in a science, however, leads only to breadth in other sciences, and is only slightly related to the humanitarian disciplines, Does the science major, then, fulfill Bryn Mawr’s liberal arts ideal? How can she explore a va- riety of disciplines by taking only the required number of courses? Languages are indispensable for any well-rounded liberal arts pro- gram, yet the question arises as to whether the double language require- ment only results in learning two languages well enough to pass the orals. rather than well enough to really make the knowledge a work- ing addition to the student’s liberal arts background. Do students, forced to learn a second language, find that they are unable to continue and per- fect their knowledge of the first? Is the result an inadequate know- ledge of both languages? Certainly, if this be true, it is inconsistent with Bryn Mawr’s philosophy of depth. Knowledge of a language extends be- yond knowing its basic grammar; it includes the ability to read texts and literature in the language. Perhaps, however, the double foreign language requirement may be justified as a ba- sis for possible graduate study after college. The literature requirement is a di- rect outgrowth of the liberal arts philosophy. The primary goal of the literature requirement is not, accord- ing to Mrs. Marshall, to teach crit- ical analysis. This is fulfilled at pres- ent by English 15. The requirement is designed rather to augment the liberal background through the study of either the literature of a single Continued on Page 4. An Agonizing Reappraisal on Bryn Mawr’s campus were harnessed and directed, a very different situation would result. Certainiy we are all aware of this tendency, and, it seems, are concerned about it. Yet, the basis for the apathy is seldom realized, and not frequent- iy enough is anything done about it. It was from one of these innumerable discussions about our campus’ lack of active participation that the idea for Akoue was generated. It seemed to us that the tendency towards apathy was not the result of any initial lack of in- terest on the part of the girls, but that, paradoxically, it arose from several of the most positive and salubrient tea- tures of Bryn Mawr’s structure. First, Bryn Mawr so strongly stresses a basic respect for the individual, that often we find it distasteful to im- press any of our beliefs on others. ‘She has a rignt to think the way that she does, so long as I can continue to think the way that I do,” is a common attitude, and consequently we often don’t engage in any conversation of a highiy contro- versial nature. Although this respect for the individual must be maintained, we muSt also realize that we will never be able to define, much less defehd, our own positions with- out hearing all opposing viewpoints, and that no single view- point can be so obnoxious as to be dangerous. How much greater is the danger when we dare to stop thinking! _ The second cause is truly paradoxical, and quite in- triguing. We have inherited such a liberal background, that we have become,’as Louis Hartz would say, almost absolutely enslaved in it. Thus, we find ourselves teeling that we have little to complain about; that there are tew restrictions placed upon us; that there must be very good reasons for the restrictions that are placed upon us, and theretore why question anything? We are certainly not advocating a neg- ative attitude, nor are we advocating unconstructive criti- cism for its own sake, but we must realize at the same time that we will lose the liberal tradition by not questioning, tor it is‘only through setting up and testing hypotheses that one remains liberal in the true sense. We have not arrived at a state of absolute truth at Bryn Mawr, but rather must reassess and reevaluate at every moment in order to discover new methods, or to rediscover and recomprehend the value in existing methods. The third basis for apathy is a good one, although it need not result in the condition that we have. From the first day of our Freshman year, we at Bryn Mawr are taught a certain very valuable academic humility. We are.contronted with our own ignorance, and under the influence of the em- phasis which is placed upon clear thought through thorough knowledge of a subject, we begin to retrain from discussing anything without first doing adequate research on the topic. It is mainly a result of this last condition, though indi- rectly a result of all of the above, that Akoue was instituted. The purpose of the paper, which will appear every six weeks as a supplement to the College News, is not to be a vehicle for ungrounded opinion. Speaking without knowledge is simple enough, and is certainly no solution. Neither will Akoue supply answers to problems. Rather its function as we now see it, will be to provoke thinking about topics which concern us: questions will be raised, and these questions will be researched as extensively as possible, but the answers will be thought out by the readers, who, we hope, will have a fair amount of knowledge about the topic because some of the research will have been done ‘for them. At the end df each issue we shall print a bibliography of pertinent books and articles. The issues discussed will pertain to student life in a broad sense: to those aspects of student life which relate us to the outside world, either to other colleges, to the U. S. government, or to movements going on in the world. For this issue; we have decided. to-begin at. Bryn Mawr, and to question our position here and now: to see where we are and why; to see where we are going and why; to see from where we have come and why. Bryn Mawr has a unique tradition; we are part of an exciting line of innovating wom- en, and we think that it is essential that we undergo, each of us, somewhat of an agonizing reappraisal.’ We must look into this line, and see whether we agree with its development; if we do, we must see where we fit into the line, or where, if we don’t, we have individually gone wrong: The ultimate pur- pose of the paper resides in action; at least in active thought and discussion, if not in an involvement in action already taking place, or in starting action where necessary. What better opportunity have we for beginning than right here on campus where our voices can and should be heard, where we are not powerless but can make a difference? After we have in some measure understood our place here at school, we can begin to understand and act regarding our position in relation to the outside world. Certainly, the purpose of the paper is not yet fixed, and perhaps we shall find that our direction is not really the best one, but we felt that a journal with this basic function was a necessity at this time. We have no permanent staff, and no set ideas for further issues. This will come, we hope, from any interested members on campus who are willing to help. think up topics, to debate them, to research them, or to write them. Anyone who has the desire is welcome to join, and need but contact the editor. For those not interested in par- ticipating directly, please send us your suggestions, for they will be greatly appreciated. Those not interested, or unable to participate in any other way can perhaps keep our motto in*mind.: ag) comes from Kant, and we realize that it is quite a goal in itself. Sapere Aude! Dare to think.

He asked his audience at Bryn Mawr to pretend they were Argentines for the pur- ‘poses §. He" speech. Mr. Albee discussed his own exper- ience as a new young American play- wright—not because he particularly enjoys talking about himself, he as- sured his listeners, but because he thought they might be interested in his rather unusual position. © “Mr. Albee cited several reasons why people go into the theater—de- sire for money, a love for the thea- ter, the hope of a supposedly easy way to make a living, and, rarely, the “vision, dedication, gall, and steel will . . . which is sometimes called talent.” He then asserted that he, himself, had come into the theater by “dereliction.” At the age of thirty, having failed commercially at poetry and novel-writing, Mr. Albee wrote The Zoo Story—as a sort of birth- Akoue Continued from Page 3 culture (Biblical or Greek Literaturé) in terms of its influence on the main- springs of all literature, or through the study of a wide range of English literature (English 101). Both ele- mentary Greek and Latin 101, how- ever, fulfill the literature require- ment. Is this consistent with the stated purposes of the curriculum? Or should the requirement be. fulfill- ed by any survey literature course in any foreign language? At the present time, 33% of the senior class does honor papers. This is the culmination of the “breadth and depth” philosophy of the college. Miss Meigs in What Makes a Col- lege? states that “every mind has its own single and best direction, and it is the true flowering of complete education when that mind can follow, under its own effort, its own innate- ly appropriate way.’ Should the sen- ior paper be mandatory for all, or optional for any student interested in it? (This latter system has been in- stituted at Harvard, where the under- graduate works on his. thesis under the personal direction of either gra- duate students or faculty members.) Since we as students are so inti- mately involved in Bryn Mawr Col- lege and its philosophy, it is only right that we ask ourselves whether the depth and breadth policy is what we want in our education. If a stu- dent prefers taking a greater num- ber of courses in various subjects rather than spending so much time on one, if she wants more depart- ments, more courses a year, then aqpssibly she~ should” consider trans- ferring to a larger school, not com- mited, as is Bryn Mawr, to the ideal of training scholars in one field. On the other hand, if we accept bryn Mawr’s philosophy, it is our responsibility as students to make sure Bryn Mawr is consistent with it and is successful in achieving her goal. Both the administration and the faculty are easily accessible to students at Bryn Mawr. The Self- Government Association and Under- graduate Association are student or- ganizations both accessible and pow- erful. ‘Through these organizations each student can have a meaningful voice. There is altogether too much dis- cussion and too little action on the Bryn Mawr campus. The smok ate alive with students’ comptaibes' day present to himself, he added. Since Broadway producers consid- ered the play “too short” to be a suc- cess, Thé Zoo Story was first produc- ed in West Berlin. When he decided to travel to Berlin for the premiere of the play, Mr. Albee was asked by many of his friends why he was sud- denly going to Germany. His reply was: “Oh - - there’s a play I want to see there.” . While in Europe, Mr. Albee made an important discovery about the European theater. He found out that the European experimental play- wrights were not “prophets without honor in their own land”’—as is often the case, he believes, in America. The new playwrights were present- ed in the large theaters of their coun- tries and were given serious, wide- spread attention. This attitude in Europe led him to hope that the same regard for the experimental theater could eventually be fostered in Amer- ica. Mr. Albee mentioned that after what he termed a fifteen year “black period” in the American theater, he and two other young playwrights, Jack. Richardson and Jack Gilbert, had begun to write serious, experi- mental drama. He felt that all three were “taken on as a cause by the press” and were “vastly over-apprais- ed.” “Only beginning practitioners, we were encouraged to think of our- selves as authorities,’ he said. Mr. Albee mentioned one more experience he had had as a modern playwright in America. The Zoo Story was produced in Westport, a town Mr. Albee characterized as “con- servative,” with a “higher per capita income than most of the nation” and given to “wife-sharing.” The people in Westport strongly objected to the play, finding it communistic,gbscene, “unfavorable and, therefore, ufitrmue- Were it not for the intervention of Governor Stevenson, Mr. Albee felt that there was a strong possibility that the citizens of Westport, by their agitation in the Congress and State Department, might have pre- vented the play from going to Argen- tina. From this experience, Mr. Albee concluded that “all too many people in my country believe in self-delu- sion.” There is a “pressure on the writer in the United States from his audience for him to lie.” In conclud- ing his speech, Mr. Albee warned against this complacency in Amer- ican writing and cautioned Americans to avoid “dictatorship of the middle brow.” representative about the material cov- ered in a course, why not discuss with a professor the particular prob- lems of his course? Student respon- sibility, which is the basis of Bryn Mawr’s educational philosophy, is not only a guide but also a challenge. We are avoiding responsibility by cram- ming for tests and writing papers the night (and often early morning) before they are due. This slipshod method of work does not teach the student anything, does not fulfill Bryn Mawr’s expectations for her, and is completely inconsistent with the philosophy of depth, We often complain about the downright dull- ness of some class discussions, but never think of the professor’s dilem- ma in trying to stimulate discussion among students who have not done the necessary reading. Too often Bryn Mawr students sit in silence, neither demanding further clarifica- tion of points, nor daring to chal- lenge a professor’s point jof view. How can we even pretend ito be in- telligent and thinking individuals when we passively sponge up what- ever is told us, without self-doubt, questioning, or active criticism? Bryn Mawr seeks to make us well- educated, independent, and thought- ful individuals. The process of ed- ucation, however, is a very personal | and individual, task, and thus a per- the responsibility is ours. Cas dtc te ore Mia Canes Christmas Concert Will Offer Music Of Spanish Nature by Anne Witman The combined Bryn Mawr-Haver- ford Chorus will present its annual Christmas concert as an offering to campus: festivities, December 10 in Goodhart. and December 11 in Rob- erts Hall, Haverford. The Haverford Glee Club will sing three numbers, “Song of Praise in the Dorian Mode,” by Franz Phillip, “O Magnum Mys- terium,” by Jacobus Handl, and “Ca- rol: While Shepherds Watched Their Sheep,” by’ Hugo Jungst, under the direction of Mr. William Reese.: Mr. Robert Goodale, director of the Bryn ‘Mawr Chorus, spent the past year in’ Spain, engaged in musical research, and for this reason, this yéar’s musical focus is naturally Spanish. The chorus will perform five carols from the 16th and 17th centuries in the concert, “Valame Dios,” anonymous; “Llorando ésta en un portal,” anonymous; “Angeles del cielo,” anonymous; “Los Reynes siguen la estrella,” by . Francisco Guerrero, and “Para regalo,” by Juan Bautista Comes. Two kinds of religious music ex- isted during the 16th and 17th cen- turies in Spain. The first type was composed of liturgical texts, written for church services, such as masses and motets. The style of this music was essentially contrapuntal, resem- ! bling Palestrina. The second type was written on non-liturgical texts, also to. be performed in the church, which are folk-like in character. The five pieces the chorus will sing are of this type and were designed to appeal to the Spanish pueblo com- munity. There is a great similarity betwen this music and the secular music of the same period, both of bwhich are called canciones. Francisco Guerrero, for example, wrote a col- lection of secular pieces and later Thomas Continued from Page 1, Col. 3 The bomb shelter race is also, in Mr. Thomas’ view, an example of the degeneration of law and morality in the face of fear and insecurity. Mr. Thomas also opposes bomb shelters because they cannot provide protec- tion from blast, fire, storm or deoxy- genation of the air and are, there- fore, of little use if a bomb is actu- ally dropped. He is against the con- struction of shelters because he feels this will engender a shelter race as well as the production of bombs big enough to destroy the shelters. More important to consider, he said, is what society will be like if one accepts the conjecture of survival. A rigorous dictatorship is the only possibiltiy. If the system of law and morality breaks down because people assume the right to shoot others who might want. to share their shelter, said- Mr. Thomas, one cannot expect a return to freedom and ethical standards in the chaos that will inevitably follow a nuclear catastrophe. ; : SUGGESTED READING 1) Atlantic.

Some were printed while others were still in manuscript form. Relatively little Spanish music of this period is known today for several reasons. At the end of the 17th cen- tury, the French Bourbon family came into power in Spain and virtu- ally extinguished “home-grown” cul- ture by importing their own musi- cians. In addition, until just recently, there was no place in Spain where one could; learn musicology. Mr. Goodale. finds these carols unique in their “naturalness, direct- ness and lack of pomposity and sen- timentality.” He feels that this mu- sic reflects the intimate relationship between the Spanish people and the Holy Family. The combined chorus will perform a Buxtehude cantata, “The Infant Jesus,” written for mixed choir, strings and continuo. This sparkling piece catches theySpirit of Christmas joy in the graceful melismatic pas- sages and touches the solemnity of the season in the short adagio move- ment placed between an allegro and a vivace section. The service will be rounded out with the singing of familiar carols and the beloved Gospel story, read by the equally beloved Dr. Mutch.
