Interested in the spiritual as a part of Negro culture and as a social document as well as in its purely musical value, Dr. George plans to invite audience participation in several songs, while she herself will sing others, and will speak on the Negro spirit- ual as a source material in human relations. iDr. George has a background of wide experience in music, sociol- ogy, and social work, After do- ing graduate work at the School of Social Service administration of the University of Chicago, she re- ceived a doctorate in Sociology from New York University, where the topic of her dissertation was the sociology of Negro music. Lat- er, she worked as a caseworker and probation officer in the Chicago area, and she was the founder of a community center in Los Angeles. Her professional experience in mu- sic includes graduation from the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago, and leading roles in the Cleveland performances of Menotti’s “The Medium” and “The Consul.” Dr. George’s appearance will be co-sponsored by the League and the Interfaith Association. 1958's Senior Gift Is A Unique One At Bryn Mawr, each year’s Sen- ior Class traditionally gives a parting gift. This year’s Seniors have decided to give $1,000 to the tree fund to repair the damage done during the last blizzard. The class was very responsive to this idea both because of its uniqueness and because they would be able in this way help the college sus- tain an unexpected loss. How- ever, in addition to this rather sizable gift the college has had to spend an additional $1400. The total of $2400 is the cost of trim- ‘ming the trees and of cutting and burning the limbs; it does not in- clude any replacements for the trees on Senior Row, although the college does plan to plant new trees there. In addition to their gift to the tree fund the Seniors are also giving $43 to provide for the in- stallation and first-year payment on a telephone in Goodhart for e. use.of the Pre ents of the Sch Big Six. Revue To Promote China-Cup Variety The Revue is once again spon- soring a design survey, this time to aid the investigation of student tastes in China. There will be a display of the numerous wares of a well known company (shh — Royal Doulton) this Friday, —in. the Common Room from 9-5, Stu- dents are asked to drop by to look and voice their opinions (total time needed: approximately five minutes) at any time during the day, or to-‘make a specific appoint- ment with Revue board members, who will be in search of willing subjects for Friday, all this week. There is, needless to say, no ad- mission charge. It is editorially hoped that many students will be able to take part in the survey, as this is one of the ways the Revue earns money to try to make up the difference be- tween the $1.00 a copy minimum printing costs, and the student- Maids’ and Porters’ Show'BMC, Princeton Provides Gay, Great Fun A scene from “You Can‘ Take It With You” by Barbara Broome Snakes, skyrockets, a_ ballet dancer and a playwright — the Sycamores were in no sense of the word an “ordinary” family! Their antics as presented by the maids and. porters of the college last Friday and Saturday evenings were, without question, uproar- iously funny. And yet, as_ their daughter Alice said of. them, “There’s a kind of nobility about them.” The Sycamores are, in- deed, a family which will be long remembered here at’ Bryn Mawr! Yes, You Can’t Take It With You provided a thoroughly enjoyable experience for all those who saw it—a fact clearly verified by the laughter and enthusiastic recep- tion it recived: from the audience. The acting was, for the most part, Marianne Moore Will Read Poetry One of Bryn~**Mawr’s notable alumnae, Miss Marianne Moore, will read and discuss her poetry on April 24, at 4 p.m. in the Dean- ery. Although this event is not open to the general public, anyone from the college who is interest- ed is welcome to attend. Miss Moore, who graduated in 1909, has at one time or another won all major American poetry awards, such as the National Book Award, the Guggenheim Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for her Collected Poems. Formerly the editor of the cele- brated magazine, The Dial, Miss Moore now devotes all her time to writing. Since her Collected Poems, she has published Like a Bulwark, and translation from the French of the Fables of La Fon- taine. Miss Taylor Will Teach At Harvard Miss Lily Ross Taylor, Professor Emeritus.of Latin, has been ap- pointed visiting professor in the Classics at Harvard for the Spring term of the year 1958-59. =: Formerly Dean of the Graduate School at Bryn Mawr, Miss Taylor has also taught at Vassar. From 1934-35 to 1952-53, she headed the School of Classic Studies at the American Academy in Rome, and was Sather Professor of Classical Literature at the University of California in 1947. She received good with a few persons, display- ing exceptional ability, while the direction, and the casting were ex- cellent. George Bryan. (from Taylor) as the grandfather, Martin Vander- hof, will be the outstanding mem- ory of the show for everyone. His portrayal was, per usual (so those who have seen these shows for several years tell me), excellent. Grandfather with his snakes, com- mencements and rather extraordin- ary philosophy proved to be both a humerous and thought provoking character. The outstanding woman in the cast was Louise Jones (from Pem- broke) who played the role of the mother, Penny Sycamore, Her plays, her well meant party games and her girl in the monastery were most amusing. Louise managed to combine just the right number of flighty antics with the role of the well meaning . mother to make Penny “a charming and lovable” woman. : Although these two highlighted the cast, the rest for the most part did a good job. Mr. and Mrs. Kirby, played by Louis White (Denbigh). and Evalin Johnson (Merion) were convincing and de- lightful. T. S. Nesbitt (College Inn) as Ed, Essie’s husband, was one of the most humorous and casual characters in the play, while Sarah Collins (Radnor) as Essie was enjoyable as a would- be ballet dancer! Rheba (played by Sadie Ames from Merion), although one of the smaller roles, was one which add- ed a great deal to the play. She gave a lightness and gaiety to the Continued on Page 5, Col. 1 - Will Sing Haydn In Joint Concert At 8:30 on Saturday night, the Bryn Mawr College ‘Chorus will join forces with the Prineeton Uni- versity Choir for a concert in Goodhart Hall. Bryn Mawr will open the pro- gram with a psalm setting by the 18th century composer, Maurice Greene. A _ string quartet will accompany the Double Octet in this piece, conducted by = Mr. Goodale. The Princeton choir, under the direction of Dr. Carl Weinrich, will then sing five short pieces by William Byrd, Hans Leo Hassler, Jacob Handl, and Paul Tchesnokov. The second half of the program will be devoted to the Nelson Mass of Joseph Haydn, a forceful and heroic work, supposedly inspired by Lord Nelson’s victories at Aboukir. Mr. Goodale will direct the Bryn Mawr and Princeton choruses, soloists, and orchestra in this concert-version of the Mass. Margaret Goodman and Marian Willner will sing the soprano and contralto solos respectively. The orchestral accompaniment of strings, flute, two oboes, three trumpets, timpani, and _harpsi- chord will be performed by music- ians from Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and Swarthmore colleges, from the Philadelphia Conservatory of Mus- ic, and several friends of the col- lege. The continuo part will be played on a harpsichord designed and built by Mr. Caleb Warner of Lexington, Mass., Anne Farlow and Anne Sprague. The concert will not be long, but participants believe it should be one of the most exciting music- al events at Bryn Mawr this year. It is hoped everyone will come (and afterwards go to the Tri- College Dance!). Bitterman Gives Fish, Rat Lecture “Learning In The Fish and Rat” was the topic of the Bryn Mawr chapter, Sigma Xi, lecture in Park, last night. Associate pro- fessor Morton E, Bitterman, of the psychology department, dis- cussed an experiment which he conducted. This experiment dealt with the relationship of learning between the rat and a fish, the latter being the lower on the phylogenetic scale. Miss Linn Receives Atheneum Award For Her Novel “A Letter To Elizabeth” by Lois Potter “I never had a medal before,” observed Miss Linn. “I always as- sociated them with swimming: and other heroic activities.” The shiny brown’ medal on her desk, how- ever, was not for athletics: A Let- ter to Elizabeth, by Bettina Linn, -| Professor of English, had just been given the Atheneim Fiction Award as the best novel written by an author in the Philadelphia area. Miss Linn received the medal Monday, April 14, at the Philadel- phia Inquirer’s annual Book and Author Luncheon, where she met her publisher for the first time (he had flown down from New York ; selling -her Ph.D. from__Bryn_Mawr_ in| }1912. a ee i withthe. other__ award. winners, among them Admiral George’ J.

She wrote it over a period of five years, “with frequent interrup- tions.” “Just say I was honored to re- ceive the award, of course,” said Miss Linn. “And very pleased to meet Admiral Dufek.

Most audible among comments proclaiming the success of the recent undergraduate conference: “Can Democracy Survive In America”, has been that sure stamp of approval, the hopeful, “Next year”. Student interest, once awakened, should at all costs be preserved in so fortunate a state, but it seems also to follow that student awareness, once awak- ened, will not easily recede into torpor, as one element of such a “new” consciousness is the realm of new possibility opened by one rousing success. As Mr. Rossiter remarked, conferences are indeed valuable, because they do make us critically aware of ourselves, both of our needs and of our potentialities. Plans for another. conference, whenever they are broached, should at least begin beyond the preliminary barrier of doubt. The obstacles which do present themselves, obstacles which everyone actively responsible for such a project in- stantly recognizes, are mechanical ones—the amount of work, and amount of money involved. The first is only to be overcome by the same concrete interest on the part of those woh would benefit from another conference, as was shown by this year’s committee; the second is less ilkely to be car- ried by momentum. This conference was financed by member organizations. of the Coordinating Council, with contributions offered ac- cording to budget and immediate interest; however, the Big Six will be hard pressed to provide such funds very regular- ly or very often. Some supplementary fund is needed, and it seems more reasonable, in view of the vast number of fund-raising activities already in existence to redesignate some present source rather than to create a new one. Under a revised structure of campus organizations some changes might appear which do not now seem logical. We do not wish to suggest that any organization curtail.a speak- er program which is of vital interest to its supporters and participants, but we might cite the suggestion of one of the incoming big six presidents as reported in this week’s News. Her organization plans to abandon the ambitious big-name, big-audience program, and to concentrate on informal meet- ings which will meet the interests of active students, faculty and graduate students. If campus organizations did as a general rule focus on a less costly plan of satisfying internal interests they might then be more able to combine forces upon occasion in satisfying the broad campus interests. Secondly we wonder, and we feel we are not alone, what are the possibilites of having a currenly existing college fund furnishing “lectures by off-campus speakers turned toward the providing of these speakers in concentration on one specific topic, such as that of the recent conference. Certain- ly a comparison of the amount of student interest as mani- fested by attendance at the conference, with the often lag- ging attendance at single lectures might justify one provi- sion of this sort, not to mention the breadth and general appeal of a topic of such significance as the nature of man as a political animal. Such efforts are always profitable, even if more by virtue of inspiration than of scholarship. If the pressure of time and finance do limit future Bryn Mawr conferences to a biennial position, alternating let us say with Parents’ Day in the spring, or even held in the less- hectic fall, we feel that these suggestions are valid. Alter- nate years of concentrated or scattered speakers might even be more feasible and acceptable than a rigid program of either sort. The important issue, after all is the great reserve of active interest that has been and can be aroused to the support of such a general program. It might be a modern manifestation of the spirit of Big May Day. Dr. Nahm Defends Thesis That Criticism Could Be A Creative Work of ‘Fine Art’ That great criticism is fine art was stressed by Dr. Milton C. Nahm,'in his reading of a paper, “Originality and the Aesthetics of Criticism”, Monday night. The lecture was under the auspices of the Philosophy Club. Dr. Nahm suggested that the approach to this conclusion meets with difficulties. ‘Much criticism that might be creative seems to be stricken with paralytic humility in the face either of the artist or _of the work of art. Criticism, it “How can we differentiate John Milton’s Preface to Samson Agon- istes, with its “things of melan- cholic hue and quality are used against melanchloy, sowr against sowr, salt to remove salt humors,’ as an explanation of tragedy in terms of Aristotle’s theory of katharsis, from Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail / Or knock the breast, no weakness, no contempt, / And what may quiet us in a death so noble... ? __ The creative freedom of a critic is generally believed, is a lower order, a second class of creative work. Critics are considered either as men whose creative | are weak; as parasites on the persons or works of true artists; or as| pedagogical practitioners whose method is “wholly rational and ob- jective” as compared to the artist, who, in the words of E. M. Foster, “lets down as it were into a buc- ket into his subconsciousness, and finds its scope in the many ways the work of art with which he is dealing can be approached. He may subject the work to any one of numerous non-aesthetic disci- plines, i.e. Freud’s attempts to ex- ‘plain. the genius of Leonardo da Vinci by his dreams, dealing “The*Great—Mouthpiece—Falion April__ 23 through Saturds 10.

Gay booths decorated the spring-clad grounds, ‘hall floats added a note of ‘hilarity, and the dance and open house provided a fine finish to Sophomore Weekend. However, sheer entertainment was not lacking, either; beauty and skill was effectively combined in the “Spring Splash,’ the show put on by the newly-organized syn- chronized swimming group. at Bryn Mawr, aptly called the “Bryn Wawriners.” An unusual crowd had gathered in the gym by the time the first number, Saucy Tar,” done by Julie Lathrop, ’61, began. Per- formed to the tune of “Bridge Over the River Kwai,” it was a novelty number, offering much rhythm and many snappy salutes. Graceful Symphony ‘As a contrast was the next num- ber, “Symphony in Blue.” Com- posed by Penny Morgan, it con- sisted of slow, graceful movement rather than cuteness; although this looked easy to the inexperi- enced audience, it must have in- volved a great deal of practices to convey the fluidity of movement. In it were Penny, Marilyn May, Alice Brown, and Vicki Starr. “L’ Etoile” Another slow and easy number was “L’Etoile,” performed to the romantic music of the “Bacarolle from the Tales of Hoffmann.” Composed by Sara Lewin, it had been performed in previous swim- ming meets, so that it was par- ticularly professional. Twenties in Jazz The audience was not permitted to be lulled by slow, gentle acts for long, however; with Charlotte Pretty’s “Jazz Time” number, all the roaring gaity of the Twenties was brought out—in water. In such a number, where make-up and costuming is an important part of the total effect, much in- genuity had to be used, so that the 'audience would be convinced, which it was. This novelty, which incidentally had to be inserted at the last minute, was particularly popular with the public. Languid Swans “Swans on the Seine,’ composed by Sara Lewin and done by ‘Jo Ann Zimmerman and Sara, was a return to the languid, graceful movements of “L’Etoile.” Done to the lovely music of “La Seine,” it suggested well the river on a Sun- day afternoon, adorned with float-| ing swans. Although this number was not “cute,” and did not per- haps appeal to the average specta- tor as much as some of the other “clever” acts, it did not take a professional to realize the hard, concentrated work which had been devoted to this in order to make it appear simple and effortless. “Ugly Duckling” In the swan vein was Julie Lathrop’s “Ugly Duckling.” That Julie had performed this before made the number only smoother and more professional, With move- ments of face and hands, plus very effective costuming (how did you ever change that quickly, Julie? Even we ugly ducklings need longer . -) she managed to turn this into more than a num- ber; we actualy could visualize the duckling in its distress, and later joy at being a swan, after all. This illustrates the need of dramatic as well as technical skill in performing in the water. While the cast of the finale were preparing their costumes, the aud- ience was treated to a special div- ing display by Sally Davis and Judy Robertson. As one who is not a particular expert in the do- main of diving excellence, I can say only that each girl performed willingly and well, never showing fatigue, even when they had to continue longer than originally planned. Even.in diving, it is ap- parently possible to convey humor, for several dives were indeed funny. “The King and I” was the in- spiration for the closing number, “March of the Siamese Children.” Again, a great deal of resource- fullness heightened the effect; the little crowns, and suddenly sur- prisingly long, Siamese-looking fingernails, were particularly to be noted. This number, which was the Club’s pride and joy, had been planned and rehearsed since fall; it showed a great precision of movement and imagination. Parti- cipating were Alice Brown, Julie Lathrop, Betsy Levering, Penny Morgan, Adair Nichols, Charlotte Pretty, Vicki Starr, and Jo Ann Zimmerman, “March,” incidentally will be Bryn Mawr’s offering at the general competition held at Penn on May third. It will no doubt be as .successful there as it was. -here. The Club, advised by Miss Yeager, has a long way to go, but with such enthusiasm and talent as was displayed at the “Spring Splash” performance, it will not find this way particularly trying. The only stumbling block is finances; the girls hope to have more money to spend on costumes, makeup, and props. However,’ the core of the. club— interest and ini- tiative—is already there.

Cadbury open- ed his talk Tuesday evening, April 15, in the Common Room, When Quakerism, which now has a membership of less than 200,000 (120,000 in the United States); began in the middle of the seventeenth century in Eng- land, it was one of a great many sects. It embodied a_ reaction against ecclesiasticism, and had no priest, no ritual, no sacred build- ing, no creed, no church bells and no outward sacraments. It was, Dr. Cadbury said, “the acme of non-conformity in England’. This non-conformity produced a nega- tivism that was good for the early Quakers. The persecution ‘sorted out those who were not strong and helped those remaining to main- tain “a tradition of independence”. This tradition of independence ex- tended into both religious and sec- ular matters, an example of which is found in the fact that the Quak- ers refused-to take oaths in civil courts, simply because they were History Film Shows Life in the ‘Twenties “The Golden Twenties,” a movie based on Frederick Lewis Allen’s book, Only Yesterday, was given a closed showing Wednesday, April 16. Students in 202 and 303 courses in American History saw the film, essentially an amalga- mation of newsreels from the roaring decade, and produced by March of Time, Inc. Following Allen’s book nile: the movie dealt with social, poli- tical and economic aspects of the Twenties. Leading personalities, including Eugene Debs, Presidents Coolidge and Harding, were noted. The film touched on events such as the Sacco-Vanzetti and Scopes trials, and, pursuing the spirit and development of the decade, review- ed the lawless flouting of prohibit- ion, the technological achievements in the development of airplanes and automobiles, the Stock Market boom, and the pervading and ex- cessive gaiety of the post-war years. The effect was an over-all picture of the era. against the oath itself. After presenting the more “neg- ative side’, Dr. Cadbury discussed the more “positive” side of Quak- erism. Quakers believe in a direct relationship ‘between God and man. They believe that this di- rect relationship includes all peo- ple, pagans as well as ‘Christians, and that there is a universal sav- ing principle of God. Their par- ticular form of worship follows from their belief in this. Secondly, the Quakers feel that religion is relevant to all aspects of life and that “every part of life” should be “subject to a_ sensitive religious conscience”, In connec- tion ‘with this, Dr. Cadbury, who is chairman of the Board of Direct- ors here at Bryn Mawr, sai§ that Quakerism has often been “ah in- strument of strong social impact’”’. As examples, he cited some of the roles Quakers have played in the abolition of slavery, in govern- ment, and in effecting such chang- es as the improvement of pris- ons and of care for the mentally ill. Here, too, the Quaker oppo- sition to war and their “pacifism” have served as instruments for so- cial reform. In discussing the question of what the place is of the Quakers among other Christian churches today, Dr. Cadbury said it was dif- ficult to define because of the lack of sacraments and other ritual. The Quakers are a member of the National Council of Churches, how- ever. ‘Dr. Cadbury added here that Quakers have done a great deal of work with people of dif- ferent faiths and that “everybody can understand the language of kindness”. ~~ - In the question atid answer per- iod which followed his talk, Dr. Cadbury discussed several other aspects of Quakerism. Instead of becoming a Christian when one is baptized or confirmed, the Quakers believe that people become Christ- ians the way they become mature in other fields, they grow into it. When questioned on what Quakers believe about the divinity of Christ, Dr. Cadbury said that there is a variety of beliefs and that the greatest emphasis is placed on the teachings of Jesus.

She would like to show movies under the sponsor- ship of the A.A. and have play days for everybody with other colleges. She would also like to have picnics and perhaps _ hikes and bicycle trips. In order to foster more interest in inter-hall games Weecha plans to schedule them at times which are more fea- sible for everyone. Judith Minkin by Freddy Koller Judith Minkin 60, élected head of the Bryn Mawr Alliance for Political Affairs, re- vealed some of her future plans for the organization recently. This year, according to Judy, a new system will be ‘used in club elections. The chairmen, respon- sible to the board, will be elected in the spring; in this way the Alli- ance hopes to keep everyone in- terested all year instead of just having temporary enthusiasm.

Last weekend two Bryn Mawr- ters, Adele Smigel ’59 and Nancy Cline ’59, attended the Intercol- legiate Conference on Government at Harrisburg, Pa., Judy revealed. She also said that since she has been elected she hopes to acti- vate the ICG. As far as speakers are concern- ed, Judy pointed out that nothing definite has been decided or can be until the Alliance meets with the faculty next month. Lynn_ Kaplan. “What I have in mind is really just widening the scope of Lea- gue so that those girls interested wil have an opportunity to ex- change their ideals on social prob- lems and social service itself,” said Lynn Kaplan, newly elected pres- ident of League. “Girls who take part in League activities have at least a broad interest in common and I’d like to see what we can do with it.” To utilize and expand the inter- est of students who are, or would like to be, participating in League, Lynn hopes to broaden the func- tion of League meetings. Now mainly ‘business, these meetings could become an activity of Lea- gue in themselves, with time used to discuss the social problems that board, members and others (the meetings have always been open) take particular’ interest in. Again drawing on students’ ex- perience, Lynn suggested that girls who had taken part in activities such as weekend workcamps, the Girl Scout work, or Embreeville give accounts of the situations they had encountered and _ the eo Six work they had done. This would have the double purpose, she said, of publicizing the activities and elucidating them for timid but in- terested students, and keeping board members informed about activities other than their own. Lynn’s: ideas for the speaker’s program are to forget about en- ticing big speakers from far-away places and big audiences and con- centrate on informal meetings that would attract really interested students who were concerned with discussing broad social problems with a local speaker. “We'll try to develop the acti- vities we have,” she said, and seek new ones that best fulfill the in- terests and needs of the students.” Among new possibilities she sug- gested investigating other hos- pitals whose need and challenge Continued on Page 5, Col. 6 THE NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN MUSIC OF “THE SENTIMENTAL GENTLEMEN” STARRING WARREN COVINGTON Bens 346 MADISON AVENUE, COR. 44TH ST., NEW YORK 17, N.
