XLIV—NO. 20 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1961 @) Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1961 PRICE 20 CENTS Lecturer Views Cubist Paris School In Terms of Historical Development Mr. Douglas Cooper informed the audience who assembled to hear the third of the 1961 Flexner Lecture Series, April 20, that the discussion of “The ‘Paris School” would have the form and the pur- pose of a history lesson. The lesson began with the date 1910 which saw the formation of the Cubist School in Paris. An ex- hibition at the Salon d’Automne brought together many of the art- ists working in France and sur- prised the public and critics with _their similarity of technique and approach. At this exhibition the - cubists” overshadowed the neo-impression- ists, the fauvists, the colorists, In- deed, certain painters from all these groups had “adopted the cu- bist idiom.” The common denom- inator uniting them was an inter- pretation of Cezanne. Le Fauconnier Mr, Cooper spoke in detail of several members of the school. The first he mentioned was Le Faucon- nier who, he claimed, attempted to disguise his conventional subjects by superimposing cubes over the basic designs of his canvases. He cited “Abundance,” a painting ex- hibited in 1911 at the Salle d’Inde- pendents as an example. ‘Gleizes did not abandon his nat- uralistic conception of order. His allegiance to the school lay in his ‘elementary use of faceting. Both ‘Gleizes and Le Fauconnier applied in stylized form the tech- niques of (Cezanne and Picasso, said Mr. Cooper. (But ‘they were less successful than the next group: Metzinger, Delauney, and Leger. Metzinger, “the least original of the three,” reflected the cubist in- fluence in his faceting. Leger, more. independent. .than Metzinger, was influenced by “Ce- zanne, Picasso, Braque, and Rous- seau. He, too, faceted the forms in his paintings in each of which there-is but a single source of light. Orchestra Recital Finishes Season by Kristine Gilmartin A Handel Concerto Grosso, Op. 6, No. 4, was the Bryn Mawr-Haver- ford College Orchestra’s opening selection in their final concert for The group ‘was well conducted as usual by William Reese. The first move- ment, Larghetto affettuoso, reveal- ed a rich tone and a massed . strength that played together well. The two Allegro movements also went well, though the orchestra’s one real problem, keeping together in slower sections, was somewhat evident in the Largo. The solo work in this Handel work was done by Barbara Dancis and Kenneth MacLeod, violins, and Steven Flan- ders, violincello.....All. three...were fine and their occasional passages | u --as- a trio were excellent... ......} A March and Canzona written for Queen Mary Il by Henry Pur-|¢ cell were next performed by the Haverford Brass Ensemble. The first was solemn and stately and the slow tones were generally very good though the timing was a bit ragged at times; The Canzona was somewhat lighter in texture ibut the heavy quality of the brass He concentrated on form, volume, and draftsmanship. ‘Leger’s con- cern’ lay with the tangible aspects of reality, with the representation of natural objects through formal oppositions and directions. Delauney saw the work of Pi- casso and Braque at the Kahnweil- er Gallery in 1910. But he was in- fluenced jprimarily by (Cezanne. Like Leger, he used pure color to reinforce contrast and form, as op- posed to the muted tones of: Bra- que and Picasso, who were con- cerned: with form more than with color. ‘He used broken outlines, relied on the interplay of colors, and observed the traditional us- age of space. Before he became a cubist, Delauney had been a neo- impressionist. He believed that color is the painter’s most expres- sive force. Mr. Cooper illustrated,swith sev- eral slides of paintings Delauney had done of the Eiffel Tower, the painter’s desire to destroy mater- ial reality. In these paintings the shattering of the Eiffel Tower into fragments of color and light is symbolic of a desire to destroy the past and its tradition. "Literature The cubist influence spread to literature, said Mr. Cooper. Guil- laume Avpollinaire was especially active in his relationships with the painters and in his attempt to in- corporate their mood into his poet- ry. At this time writers were ded- icating their books to painters who, in turn, would illustrate these volumes. To show the connection between these art forms, Mr. Cooper read two poems, “Easter in New York” Continued on Page 3, Col..1 Address by Miss McBride, Spring Day Delight Visitors PARENTS’ DAY The flags and daffodils waved as the parents came, and came, and came. Where did they go when they had come? Everywhere. What did they do? Everything, or so it seemed to them as they struggled, somewhat dazed, through a rigor- ous schedule enveloped in rigorous crowds. The Chinese weeping willows (as they are known to BMC horticul- turists) were lovely, but there were places to go and people to meet. The violets and the ivy—yes, but there was music and swimming. The grass and .the green light through the library windows— but the schedule, the schedule. Milling through the myriad groups, foreigners’ found their weary way to coffee, violins, and Liberal Education. They paused for chicken salad and the chatter and the clatter of the dining room. Afterwards they heard some sing- ing and much about the Dynamics of Learning, They paused again for tea and introductions. Wandering, meandering, color- ful groups filled even the most un- expected places. You see, people do lean against the sarcophagus. It is good for something after all! With spectacles and cameras and little sisters, they peered into every corner. Inspecting and question- ing they sought—for what? Dust in a daughter’s room (but it had just had its annual cleaning), win- ter clothes to take home in the place of spring clothes, fresh air in the country, or was it more? But then they went away, and the flag and the daffodils waved, and waved, and waved. “ Latinist Claims Both River arid Hill Led to ‘Double Discovery’’ of Rome The city of Rome was founded once from the Tiber River and once from the Alban Hills, explained Louise Holland who gave the Lily Ross Taylor lecture on “The Dou- ble Discovery of Rome” Monday evening in the Ely Room. The two settlements—one of traders and one of shepherd-farmers—co-exist- ed and eventually became one. Geography suggests the division of the city into parts along the line of what was onee.a brook running through the Forum, better known later as the Cloaca Maxima or “the great sewer.” In primitive times no roads led to (Rome—no one wanted to go there—and if one did want to go there, tracks along the ridges between the many steep streams were used or even the Ti- ber itself though Aeneas needed a miracle to go upstream on it. How- ever, floating downstream was easy though stopping places were a necessity. Three elements made a good stopover for river travelers: a trib- for landing, a hill for a land- k_visible from faraway _.(over- | shooting is irremediable), and a grove. These groves were pro- tected by religion and eased an- cient trading and communications. At the Capitoline Hill in Rome was such a haven. ‘Rome was also founded from the hills.

In response to the request of many who were in the audience and in or- der to bring to the attention of our readers a definitive and succinst expres- sion of Bryn Mawr’s philosophy and aims, the News here prints the ad- dress, “Liberal Ed- neation at Bryn Mawr,” delivered on Parents’ Day by President Katharine Elizabeth McBride. your thoughts at the beginning but Certainly some of the significance of liberal education and some of its problems should appear in the two stages I plan to introduce to this review. The first—in its sim- plest terms—would be to consider: what to study? how to study? where to study? The second stage would be to make some brief com- parisons. between general educa- tion and liberal education and then between. liberal education and pro- fessional education. This, limited as it is, may seem a large order, but I do believe that everi parents who got up at five o’clock—if..such there be—to drive to Bryn Mawr will be able to stay with the complexities of liberal ed- ucation in concrete form. Difficult Choices What to study? This is a ques- tion that presents the most difficult choices at the level of liberal edu- cation—it is easier in school or in graduate school. Of the many ap- proaches two may be characterized by these metaphors: a liberal edu- cation should permit the student to “open many doors,” i.e. into the world of learning; a liberal educa- tion should permit the student to “sink a deep shaft” into the world of learning. Before you make choices let me say that the Bryn Mawr approach is going to turn out to be a balance of these two! I should also add that there is a third approach to which we shall have to return: it is that whatever the access to knowledge and under- standing—the open doors or .the deep shaft—the important matter is the arrangement of material, the delineation of the pictute, which the instructor prepares for the student. ‘This, in case you want to classify it, is going to turn out liberal education. You will find neither the “open doors” nor the “deep shaft” in the Bryn Mawr catalogue, but you will find there an expression of belief that liberal education requires both “breadth” and “depth.” By “breadth” we mean first of all some -acquaintance—preliminary but not superficial—with some of the main lal ~ q to. be general as. contrasted. with Miss McBride and Nancy Wolfe Pause to Enjoy Sunshine. The title should give you a quick indication that this is going to be a more limited and I hope more specife presentation than I might have chosen. Liberal education in its role of freezing the human mind and spirit from ignorance and prejudice will not be in the center of I hope that it will be in due course. fields of knowledge. This is the purpose of the required subjects: English Composition and Philoso- phy specifically and through so- called “area requirements” one course in literature, one in natural science and one in social science or history. By breadth we also mean considerably more than this distri- bution: we mean a broad approach to any subject, with ample recog- nition of its historical development and with serious attention to its relationships with other subjects, but some of these more complex matters I am going to leave hap- pily for the panels of the after- noon. : By depth we mean the relative- ly intensive work in the field which is..developed. through the major work and its supporting allied work. “‘Relatively intensive” is ac- curate in two senses: in our own, terms, the major work is relative- ly far more intensive than the work required in five fields, and in com- parison with majors in other col- leges—in the United States and abroad—our major is among the more intensive. In short, we put more emphasis on the. major and allied work tha do many institu- tions. The gain is in “depth,” the loss is—to use an equivocal word — inflexibility. Favor Depth Students who miss time for elec-' tive courses, whether because of the requirements or because of the. major and allied.work, sometimes suggest that we change from a four-course to a five-course sys- ‘tem for the first three years or that we add a course to the senior probably be a gain in breadth, but a loss in depth—and as you can | see... our...choices,...what...we...call..a-*<"—= balance, tend to favor depth. The most accurate among you will not find this simple campari- son of breadth and depth entirely satisfactory, and I present it only because of the limits of time. In the course of the afternoon I trust you will see that intensive study can lead not only to depth but to Continued on Page 2, Col.-1_ year or both.

BE breadth. This too is part of our corporate conviction! In speaking so far I have given the preference of the faculty and most students. What about the student who prefers “opening doors” in greater numbers? Some- times she suffers but sometimes she makes up in ingenuity what- ever lack of sympathy she has for the Bryn ‘Mawr curriculum, She takes one of the lighter majors, perhaps a course in general educa- tion elsewhere and she may still be when she graduates, from the point of the faculty, bobbing lightly on the surface of knowledge. They would like her to have been drawn down into the mainstream from which the chances of being tossed to the dry shore sa: considerably fewer. ' The student ails a partic- ularly intensive major also has her problems — different except that they too are related to time. The most evident of these is the mag- nitude of the subject—art or his- tory or philosophy or chemistry. How within an -undergraduate’s four years can one encompass a really intensive piece of work over a field of such great scope? The second problem is the ‘‘necessary” ally or allies, which may require almost as much time as the major field itself, as for example, Latin and Greek for Classical Archaeol- ogy or Physics and Mathematics and Chemistry for Biology. There are some ways, old and new, of meeting these problems of time, and to these I shall return under the question—“Where to study?” Not for Grades In the -meantime, a little com- mentary on the second question, “How to study?” I can make this commentary brief but brevity sheuld be taken to reflect the con- ditions of our Saturday and not the unimportance of the question. The first condition is that study should. always be with the eyes ‘firmly fixed on the subject, the problem, the, material. You no- tice perhaps that I do not say the grade. The grade is an indication, more or less rough, of what the in- structor thinks of the student’s work. If it becomes the student’s primary objective she has lost one _ of the engagements in her battle for a liberal education.» If it re- mains primary the student may walk across this platform and take her. degree, .but..she.-has. actually lost the battle for a liberal, educa- tion. As a second condition I suggest enjoyment in working with a few or many members of the college community, faculty and students, but increasing intellectual inde- pendence of any. of them. Stu- dents in most departments have on the wifole fairly close working relationships with faculty and with other students. Many stu- dents who would like even closer . working relationships try for ways NS. ie in which they can “y in closer touch with the faculty particular- ly. This is fine for a start, but perhaps the central test of a liber- al education as far as continuity of intellectual life is concerned is the independence that the student can achieve, Integrity and schol- arship both rest on this indepen- dence. It is always present when we say of someone, not necessar- ily a senior—perhaps an under- elassman, “she’s a scholar.” Versatility Still another condition of “How to Study” should be versatility in the approach to knowledge. Bryn Mawr students are.psually strong on the report or research paper. They prepare many of ‘these, we sometimes ‘wonder whether too many. In any case we note that they write for all the organiza- tions they later work for. I am never surprised to find an alumna writing reports which may be in her field or far from it—at one military base for example a French major writing excellent reports for the staff. Bryn Mawr students are usually strong also on their experimental approach. Perhaps in the section on the experimental method this afternoon you will see why. They are also much interested in the creative arts. My only ques- tion as to the versatility of ap- proach would come in relation to discussion or debate. A final condition on “How to Study,” and my last on this aspect of the subject has also to do with the continuity of intellectual life. It may seem procedural rather | than fundamental but I think it important for every student, whether evidently a scholar or ap- parently somewhat far removed from scholarship. The condition is that all study should be gnder- taken with the idea of continuing study, that is, one reads this week or this month what one can read and sets aside for later what is in- teresting or significant but beyond present time limits. For some peo- ple this means a series of mental notes, for others a growing index ee even a growing library, for still others—iI can’t speak as one of them—a running commentary ion fideas, reading, expectations, proposals, This is the material that gets picked up in the same arm as the children when the house is threatened by fire.or flood! You would expect me on Parents Day. to answer the question of “Where to Study” with a resound- ing Bryn Mawr. There are excep- tions, even among ‘students who have initially chosen Bryn Mawr, and if we think some other place would come closer to helping.a stu- dent meet her objective we try to make a transfer possible for her. On the subject of “Where to Study”—at least in the present-| day world—my impression is that we are still calling too infrequent- ly on the junior-year abroad, (This Continued on Page 4, Col 1 THE COLLEGE NEWS.

(Mountain pastures, re- gional traditional costumes, ski re- sorts and ancient ruins succeeded each other on the screen. Drawing together facts of economic and” his- toric importance, ‘Mr. Schlag point- ed frequently to the conglomera- tion of old and new; Austria is in- ‘dustrializing rapidly, but much of its architecture dates back to the Middle Ages. burg the tour concluded in Vienna. ‘In an admitted attempt to over- whelm his audience, Mr. Schlag displayed with evident pleasure many of the famous treasures and sites of the capital city.

After special attention to Salz-, ef Haven port Finds Poets’ Vorticism; Cites Objectivity On Wednesday evening the Arts Council presented Guy. Davenport, visiting professor of English at Haverford College, in a lecture en-, titled “Vortex 1910: Pound, Lewis and William Carlos Williams.” Mr. Davenport described the vorticism movement (1910-1960), as a small, exclusive group of writ- ers, namely Ezra Pound, Percy Windham Lewis, and William Car- los Wiliams, who reacted against romanticism. Vorticism, as describ- ed by Lewis, is the position of the artist at the center of the cyclone, seeing everything, but detached from all. ‘Mr. Davenport described Percy Windham Lewis’ art as “Geomet- ric abstraction,” and his writings as free of all outside influences. Lewis, he said,“ was a “tortured pessimist,” yet always wrote of the diabolical. Vorticist View Pound, although no longer cofi- sidered a member of the vortex mvoement. by critics, also upheld the vorticist view that the artist must be completely detached from his subjects. In particular Mr. Davenport explained Pound’s fam- ed cantos, each a tryptich and each treated symbolically, abstractly and realistically. In a discussion of William Car- los Williams and his poem “Pat- erson,” Mr, Davenport called to mind the detachment of the poet, and his complete lack of romanti- cism. He expressed the hope that the poem “Paterson” would be given more consideration in the future as one of. Williams’ better works, Mr. Davenport summed up by saying that the vorticists have con- stituted a counter-tradition of the main English literary movement of the’times. A question period followed the talk. Studei:ts-Depreeatea: u _AETT AC, Film “Operation Abolition” by Jodi Green and Helen Levering The recent showing of the con- troversial House Un-American Ac- tivities Committee film Opera- ’| tion Abolition at Haverford last ‘| week elicited a variety of respon- ses. The audience as a whole re- acted vociferously. The speech of Representative Walters (D-Pa.), head of the Committee was receiv- ed with particular disfavor as the audience hooted his calling most college students either actual or potential Communist dupes. Later, however, many students were im- pressed by Thomas Wood, who de- fended the HUAC, and Peter Hill of the American Civil Liberties Union, who rationally . presented the cases for and. against the film. After’a discussion of the film’s technical ‘inacuracies the speakers related the movie to the larger issue, the role of the HUAC in re- lation to the traditional American concept of freedom of the individ- ual. Although Mr. Wood agreed with Mr. Hill about the discrepan-. cies in the movie, he seemed to feei that these were relatively unim- portant and that the yaovie should be seen in its broader perspective, as an effective tool against Com- munism. Mr, Hill also felt that a tool against Communism is needed but that the Committee itself should be modified because of its tactics, which are nearly un-Amer- ican in themselves, should never be employed in a non-totalitarian society. Although we feel that the gov- ernment should have the right to protect itself against those who would overthrow it by force, we do not feel that it has the right to bypass the civil liberties outlined in the First Amendment, and limit any individual political expression.

The film remains extremely faithful to the original story and portrays...with..depth..and_.under- standing Cervantes’ characteriza- tions. Nikolai Cherkasov, who is +remembered: by ~Americans~for~his: performance of Alexander Nev- sky, is a very. tall and lean but fine Don Quixote.

It will perhaps be. disap- pointing to Bryn Mawr’s Russian students to discover that the voices are dubbed, but the English speak- ers have timed their lines the Russian words and it is diffi- cult to tell in most'places that the: actors are not speaking English.

For the major in lan- guages and literature, the junior year abroad has always had evi- dent advantages. For the present it brings a dimension to interna- tional understanding which is of# _urgent importance. 3? Special Programs AS the scope of work to be un- dertaken in the major field has increased, summer programs have become more necessary. One is old and familiar, the summer school for study of language or some of the work in the “necessary ally.” Another is new and very promising: special programs for study in the summer after the jun- Mawr but under the direction of Bryn Mawr faculty members. Somewhat less new but of great significance in relation to the larg- er job to be done in college is the advanced work now being offered by many schools. With this commentary behind us—and if it seems dogmatic it. is so as much because of its brevity as because of my inclination!—let me set liberal education in compar- ison with, or more accurately in contradistinction to general edu- cation and then to professional education. ; Independence General education is usually con- sidered to be something different from the “breadth” we try to in- troduce, first of all through re- quirements in several fields. With a history of some forty years be- hind it, it has assumed many forms, all designed to give breadth through the organization of mater- ial relevant to some particular way of looking at the field. It seems to us strong on helping students to see relationship, short on prepar- ing the student to independence. tionships among fields at the ad- vanced level when students can be expected through greater knowl- edge and understanding to have substantial insight of their own. And now finally to what extent do liberal. education and .profes- sional education differ? A fre- quent opening ambit in such a dis- cussion is to note that Harvard College ‘was founded in 16386 to pre- 3 SUVS? temporary comment, with Bryri Mawr as its setting, might be made on a recent class in chemistry, graduating eight or ten seniors with every senior going on to grad- uate school. Were those chemistry majors receiving a liberal educa- tion or a .professioal education? Liberal some would say by the skin of their teeth. Why by the skin of their teeth? Because chemistry is one of the heavy majors and be- cause everyone in the major, or al- most every one, intends to be a chemist,. But more _ important, they had a liberal education. For one reason that has been indicat- ed and for one that has not. As already indicated, students in any major—however heavy—also work in other fields—English writing and philosophy {by requirement, several other fields by requirement but with courses in these fields of the student’s own choice. The fur- ther and important reason is that the great majority of instructors on the faculty are themselves lib- erally educated, indeed perhaps we should except no one! Most of the professors are committed to liber- al education in another sense, since at least for the present they have chosen to teach in a liberal arts college—in the graduate school as well to be sure, but in only one department. in the graduate school exclusively. An overall estimate, had we time to make it with care, might indi- cate that the professional schools had become much more interested in liberalizing their curriculum, engineering for instance, over the last decade. At the same time and for evident reasons liberal ed- ucation has come under increas- ing pressure to turn professional. One of the evident reasons is the increasing expansion of knowl- edge, which not only requires more work of the student in college but sends an écreasing number to graduate school. why did I answer first of all that “Ti aRe Around: Dhiladelpt MUSIC.

There are few places on campus where students can take a date. The rooms in Goodhart are used for lectures and meetings or are al- ready occupied. There ,is of course always the library for an evening of golden silence, or the woods be- hind Rhoads, -but the bulk of en- tertaining goes on in the dorms— and rightly. Why Smokers? The smokers are meant to be our living rooms and the date par- lors are meant for dates. But the purpose of these rooms is defeated when the dorms close at ten-thirty. No one enjoys saying’ goodnight at ten-thirty to the date who ar- rived at eight-thirty or nine, you don’t have to stay on campus, but a local bar or movie isn’t the ideal place for study and conversation. Thus it seems necessary and logic- al to keep the dorms open until twelve-thirty. While it can be argued that the girls’ rooms, the-best place to en- tertain, should be open to men Aater also, this is a separate prob- lem. There are girls who like to walk in the halls in their under- |? wear or pajamas, and no matter what studio couch arrangements you have, a bedroom is still a bed- room, and not the place for men at night. While most would not abuse the right to have men in the rooms at night, one girl might. Then the entire college would suf- fer.
