XLIV—NO. 18 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1961 *) Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1961 PRICE 20 CENTS With Fine Unity, Claremont Quartet Reveals Mastery of Modern Works by Ginger McShane, ’63 Of the-many laudable achieve- ments of. the Claremont Quartet, perhaps the most outstanding is unity. Their concert Wednesday sounded in general as if one mind controlled all four players. The rhythms securely together. Even more of an accomplishment, the sounds were balanced—no one in- strument stood out throughout in brilliance or volume of tone, each being equally capable ofg@bubduing itself to a subordinate part or ¢éom- ing out strongly with an import- ant one. Unfortunately, unity has _ its dangers, made manifest in the first movement of the Haydn Quartet (opus 74, no, 1) with which the program opened. All together, and of one accord, the performers were uninspired. Technically, however, the movement was excellent, and if it never quite got off the ground, even on the ground it was Haydn at his richest, and quite enjoyable. In the next three movements the spirit improved considerably. The Andantino was lovely in its sweetness and elegance. The Men- uetto might have been a little too languid but for the cello’s vigor- ous oom-pah’s, but its trio was lilting and warm. The finale was really lively, with runs, syncopa- tion, staccato bowing and speed. Violent Contrasts. In spite of the pause between numbers, the abrupt change to the Stravinsky Concertino for String ning effect. A rapid crescendo from practically nothing to a series of vigorous fortissimo chords served to shatter entirely the smooth classical atmosphere created by the Haydn Quartet. But after the ini- tial shock, which sounded very like chaos after the Haydn, the piece settled into a form—one of violent contrasts—through which it gath- ered force and eventually became thoroughly absorbing.. Perhaps it was the lack..of..any such form discernible on first hearing which made. Webern’s String Quartet, Opus 28 so hard to listen to. The piece was well per- formed, with energy and with ob- vious love, ‘but between tthe aband- onment of all traces of the har- mony to which our ears have be- come accustomed and the failure to a large extent to use the pos- sibilities of richness. and beauty of tone of the four stringed in- struments playing simultaneously, Mr. Webern seems to have lost also the possibility of giving to most hearers much immediate pleasure in listening. High Point ms The high point of the -.evefiing was Debussy’s Quartet in G minor, Opus 10. Its harmonies were neither.too old-fashioned for the modernistically inclined quartet to enjoy playing nor too far out of line with the old school of com- position for the audience. to en- joy hearing. It was not only the last two movements which were played expressively and with pas- sion, as_ theif titles. directed—the rich opening melody to the nearly frenzied closing of the last move- ment, was performed with remark- correspondingly moving to hear. The enthusiasm over this result- ed in two encores. The first was the finale of Dvorak’s Quartet in F major, a frivolous movement if ever there was one. With a de- lightful vitality the movement bounced by, resembling in its dot- ted rhythms and wide melodic range music for square dancing, so that it had a general effect con- ductive to mental, if not physical, foot-tapping. Sensational Piece The second encore was a piece dedicated to the Claremont Quar- tet by ‘Mel Powell, one of Ameri- eca’s outstanding contemporary classical composers. Mr. Gottlieb introduced the piece by saying that anyone who could stand the “delicate bombardment” of the Webern quartet could listen easily to this—a brief “filigree setting for quartet” which had created father a sensation in the work- shop. lecture the Quartet.present- ed earlier in the day. The sensation was eaSily under- standable. The piece used every sound available to the stringed ‘iin- strument, from several Kinds of percussive effects involving hit- ting the back or sides of the in- strument with hands or finger- nails, to a somewhat staccato ef- fect achieved by bouncing the bow in a direction perpendicular to its normal line of motion, even occa- sionally to actual notes.. It was spectacular and fascinating—but it Talk By Toynbee Considers Status Of Citizen Today Last Tuesday evening, Arnold J. Toynbee, famous British historian and presently visiting lecturer in history at the University of Penn- sylvania, spoke in Goodhart Audi- torium on “Effective Citizenship Today.” Mr. Toynbee contrasted the criteria for citizenship of the American Constitution and_ the British Reform Bill of 1832 with present conditions. In the early days of the nation only those with income could be citizens with “a stake in the country.” They also had experience of affairs and a sense of respon- sibility. There were also. the notions that public affairs. were rather simple and could be known by the people and that, therefore, the country could be run by the representatives of these citizens. Mr. Toynbee believes that none of these criteria hold true today. We have universal adult suffrage. Few adults are economically in- dependent. The self-employed are, in fact, considered to be somewhat second-class’ citizens. Public busi- ness is complicated far beyond the possible “comprehension of the ordinary person. The result of this situation is that the ordinary citizen looks for a savior or deus ex machina in- stead of taking the responsibility on himself. He knows that there are tremendous unsolved problems but feels incompetent to handle them, and, therefore leaves the problems for others to solve. Mr. Toynbee also discussed the left one question, at least in my mind: was it music? ease. of the majority of ‘the Continued on Page 6, Col. 5 Lecturer Douglas Cooper Outlines Birth of Cubism In the first of the 1961 Flexner lectures on The Epoque of Cubism: 1906-1914, guest lecturer Douglas ‘Cooper Whence?

Mr. Cooper proposed three per- iods in his eight year “epoque’— 1. Early - 1906 to the summer of 1910; Cubist ‘work of this period being chiefly that of Braque and Picasso; 2. High- summer 1910 to the autumn of 1912; the period of Cubist expansion in which inter- national’ interest was evident and an apparent “dissipation” of the movement due to transformation of its concepts through misunder- standing and experimentation. 3. Late -autumn..1912 to 1914; most of the other painters (except Braque, ‘Gris and Picasso) who had formerly been under the Cubist influence now moved off into ab- stract, Dada and their own tradi- tions. Back to Courbet In 1911, Gleizes and Metzinger said, “To estimate the significance of Cubism, one must go back to Courbet though he was the slave of the worst visual conventions;” a year luter, Guillaume Apollinaire said, “Cezanne’s last paintings and water colors belong to (Cubism, but (CCourbet was the father.” (Mr. Cooper . postulated a “chain of | events” which led from /Courbet in 1850 to Cezanne and then _ to Cubism. ‘The realism~in- Courbet’s paintings was due to the signifi- jcance he attached to common ob- jects; he had a “rational, down to earth aesthetic”’and ofiten. sac- rificed “beauty” to realism. The Renaissance tradition reached its culmination in Impressionism, ex- hausting the possibilities of the visual technique as the painted im- age became identical with the op- tical one. The future of painting, Mr. ‘Cooper said, now depended on the creation of a new reality be- yond that of: the eye.

Picasso Picasso even in his earliest paintings was against naturalism and impressionism. In his works of 1906-7 (self portrait, two nudes) there is a sudden change of style, the appearance of sculptural ef- fects and heavy modelling of forms defined by contours.

From the last class Friday, March 24, until nine o’clock, Tuesday, April 4. Now the way we have always understood it, “vacation” means a time free of usual working responsibilities, a pleasant change in one’s activities for a designated period of time; Webster concurs, as do Funk and Wagnalls, Merriam, La- rousse, Langenscheidt’s, etc. But we accept Bryn Mawr’s choice to be different (though we did get the “designated”’ part) having otherwise to endure pitiful consequences. Perhaps it is that they (the Bryn Mawr Calendar Maker and Work Planning Committee) have very good intentions. They have eased the formality of having to have a spring vacation. They have made it short enough so that we need not suffer lengthily, in uncloistered atmospheres; they have placed it in the middle of the mid-semster testing and paper period so that we may consume this otherwise unmanageable ten-day period either in recovery from previous weeks of application or in preparation for the post-vacation battery. They are only saving us from the evil influences of the Greater Off-Campus. They have done us an admirable pro- tective service in both shortening the vacation period and surrounding it by Periods of Work so that we may feel our- selves sufficiently mentally and emotionally involved in the ivy not to be in any condition to think that we must be soci- able. Isn’t this a nicer way of looking at spring vacation than being adamant, audible, ardent and actively negative? After Thought Those of us who found the strength to defy the cross- campus April breezes -and attend Saturday’s conference on “The Role of the Intellectual in Contemporary American So- ciety” were in for a thought-provoking and rewarding exper- ience. The day was particularly valuable for those who at- tended all four planned events, for the speeches took on more meaning when reviewed in conjunction and the direct contact |1 furnished by the panel helped the participants toward an understanding of contrasting attitudes and terminology. This latter exchange of ideas, mirrored in the discussion among Bryn Mawr students and delegates is, hopefully, im- portant in approximating that communication about which much of the panel audience was concerned. Several points can be raised in criticism and suggestion. People who did not attend, when asked why, said that they were either discour- aged by or uninterested in the topic. It was sort of touchy; Miss Bree wondered about our pretensions. Each speaker, somewhat stumped by the title, dealt with the semantics of “intellectual,” “role,” ‘‘intellectual’s role”—none attempted “society’—then tried to define the topic. The Role of the Intellectual in Contemporary American Society is a horren- dous mouthful about which not many more mouthfuls can be ‘said. If students remember the conference, they will remember the speakers more than what each had to say. A more challenging and manageable topic selected for future -eonferences might leave a few new ideas on canipus after their conceivers have left. In summation, the conference made one realize once again that life has grown increasingly complex and not more definable since one began to read.

You say “... there seems to be a lack of recent works on political science, economics, sociol- ogy, etc. in our library.” (Since 1 July 1960 the College has spent over $5,500 on this type of book, a not..inconsiderable .sum. History, though sometimes considered one of the social sciences, is not includ- ed in your list, though it should be noted that over $1,000 has been spent in the same period on his- tory books. (Most of this almost $7,000 has been expended on what you term “recent books,” and in addition, about $1,000 on books con- cerned with problem areas—the Far East and Africa. Your comment about the lack of “best” sellers is of course true.. There is no provision in the lib- rary’s budget for this type of book, but it may be of interest to note that of the 16 titles in the Best Seller “Fiction” List in the New York Times Book Review five titles were deemed worthy of purchase for the library, and in the “Gener- al” List eight of the 16 are here. Such books as Coward’s “Pomp and Circumstance” and De Vries’ “Through the Fields of Clover” and even Kerr’s “The Snake Has All the Lines” generally come to the library as gifts, but only after their “best seller’ days are over. [In the meantime, the Bryn Mawr reader who wants them currently, will find them in the public libra- ries or in the rental libraries of the local bookstores, The “Do not touch books” are currently being worked on. They are shelved where they are, not to tantalize the library’s wayfarers, but because of a notable lack of storage space in the present lib- rary building. With gift books coming to the library at the rate of an average of over 3,000 a year, it is not as simple as it sounds “to weed out those which are dupli- cates and get them on the shelves”. Janet M.

Next, the variables must be defined, that is, we must find those areas in which policy changes will affect the social struc- ture as a whole. This analysis is analogous to the construction of a mathematical representation. The third step is to devise social meas- uring systems which will help us determine the effects of varia- tions. and therefore enable us to prevent violent transitions. In this area electric computers can help us bring together and evdlu- ate a great deal of data describing social characteristics. Finally we must find effective means of im- plementing the necessary changes.

He found sufficient reason for the scientists’ optimism in that con- cept of society which sees it as a “whole system” which has “inertia, elasticity and internal resistances” and which is “susceptible to being molded to fit man’s objectives, if he can only formulate them.” He gave a further hint of this confi- dent view which sees with pleasure the challenges of the future by closing with a quotation from the hymn: “We give thee thanks, O Lord, that this our world is not yet complete.” i ing foreign policy, the students voted to recognize and admit Red China to the United Nations.

Therefore, the important thing is the “development of tthe human resource,” the training of all citi- zens to use their mental capacities to the fullest possible extent. In- tellectualism is not the prerogative of- professors or scientists but is rto be found on all levels of all societies. Miss Brée pointed out that we fear the wrong things and have confidence in things that should be examined. We should not be afraid of our capacity to think rationally. The role of the intellec- tual in the past has been to form- ulate pertinent questions even though this has often led to his being unpopular. The intellectual manifests a willingness to change vocabulary and therefore, a will- ingness to change his mind. Miss Brée closed her lecture with two selections from St. John Perse: one from “Exile,” ithe other from his Nobel acceptance speech. Moderator Loerke Guides Panelists The afternoon panel on the Role of the Intellectual, held in the Deanery, brought together the con- ference delegates, the three speak- ers and many members of the col- lege community in a discussion moderated fby William Loerke of the History of Art Department. An_ important ‘theme underlying many of the questions was the problem of communication. In speaking to this point, Miss Brée explained ther attitude that every human has intellectual potential, so that we must think of commun- ication not as enlightenment, but as an exchange which can create enlargement of the mind in all par- ticipants. Thus, in reference to the Peace Corps, she stated that it is impossible to export ideas—only goods can be exported. _ “My res- ponsibility,” she said, “is to say in every situation what I think with- out saying that what I think is right.” Mr. Hutchisson suggested that scientific knowledge is in a differ- ent category, and urged its dissem- ination, especially today when the time between discovery and appli- cation is so short. Mr. Lynes con- sidered this question of producing articulate interpretation of science “an unsolved problem.” Mr. Loerke, referring to Mr. Hutchisson’s lecture, raised the question of whether scientific methods can be applied success- fully in the humanities. Mr. Hutch- isson assured questioners that the claims of individualism would be |taken into account in setting goals, and suggested that scientists are less interested in production of material goods and more interested in “putting another piece in the jig-saw puzzle” than most people realize. On the question of inferior work but great rewards in the mass media, Miss Brée said that the. sol- ution must be a personal one, and suggested that those who feel strongly will make constructive improvements. Questioned about the modern novel, she indicated that recent social dislocations such as World War II have not been conducive to novel - writing and said that the “creative push” just now is in poetry. The conference concluded with a tea which provided an opportun- ity for further discussion with the speakers. by Kristine Gilmartin Bryn (Mawr, : Haverford, and jrrarthmore students, both past nd present, combined in a recital sponsored by ‘the Bryn Mawr Col- lege Chorus ‘in the Music Room April 7. The music was well-chos- en and the performances generally of-a very high caliber. Nicely clear and defined flute work by Victor Ludewig and the voice part sung with moving pow- er yet seeming effortlessness by James Katowitz, baritone, combin- ed with the piano accompaniment of Jo Ann Krant to make the open- ing Aria from Cantata Number 8 by J. S. Bach a richly satisfying beginning and a portent of things to come. The melodic line was cheerful — especially considering ich sterben? and even when more lyrical always sprightly. Mr, Ka- towitz’ crescendo in the middle sec- tion was superb. Solemn Sternness Mr, Ludewig, with Miss Krant accompanying, played Bach’s So- nata Number 5 in G. The first movement had a solemn sternness of tone brought out well by the flautist’s good sustained passages. The second was gay and swift and its tricky runs were faultlessly executed. The fine crispness which marks Mr. Ludewig’s playing was evident-here.-The third movement had a definite lilt to it and its ex- pressive figures were well done. The concluding portion of the so- nata was difficult from a rhythmic point of view and occasionally ac- companist and soloist were not as surely together as possible. The piano work, in fact, left something to be desired. The most outstanding part of the recital was to me Schumann’s Dic- terliebe (“A Poet’s Love’) sung by Mr. Katowitz with Miss Krant at the piano. The sixteen songs in the cycle ranged in emotion from grief to joy to humor. In Die Recital by Talente Stud Features Flautist, the title, Liebster Gott, wann werd | ents VOC RT ae ‘Baritone Rose, die Lillie, die Taube the ' voice went bounding along in rare good humor dnd the song was ut- terly delightful. However, mo- ments later Mr. Katowitz. was deeply moving his listeners with Wenn ich in Deine Augen seh’. Ich grolle nicht, a passionate outburst of despair, was the high point of the cycle, Shivers of excitement were uncontrollable as Mr. Kato- witz’ tremendous voice rose to the intense “die dir am Herzen frisst.” ‘Miss Krant’spianod accompaniment, often earrying on to conclusion after the voice part ended, was very fine; clear articulation was especially notable. This song cy- cle was, all in all, one of the most impressive musical performances I have ever heard. Rachmaninoff’s Humoresq ue, played by Miss Krant, had some weak spots and perhaps should have been memorized, . however, the pianist acompanied every num- ber on the program and consider- ing this amount of: work, did very well. In her solo she managed to negotiate the difficult chords quite well, her power was good and the ipiece’s more lyrical passage nicely done. Sonatine for flute and piano by H. Dutilleux was Mr. Ludewig’s second offering and revealed a truly virtuoso quality. The trills and difficult runs were almost al- _ ways perfect. The frantic, what I can only describe as “buzzing” section was devilish and outstand- ingly well done. An Aria from another Bach Can- tata (this time Number 157), Ich lasse dich nicht concluded the pro- gram. Flute, piano, and violin— playéd by Barbara Dancis—com- bined with Mr. Katowitz’ baritone in a vigorous, sound performance. The violin and flute answering passages were well done, and in general the timing, not always easy, was well-handled, Like this concluding number, the whole re- cital was excellent.

Critic Draises Prod Lauds Actors’ Fait _ by Lois Potter The Phoenix Theater’s Hamlet is the best one J Hiave ever seen. This statement is not half so impress- ive as it sounds; since the other two Hamlets in my life are Oliv- ier’s excessively cut movie version and the Ruritanian melodrama which the Old Vic brought to Phil- adelphia two years ago. But. I want people to go to New York and see this one (it is running un- til May 14, and the Phoenix offers CHEAP student tickets), so I sug- gest that, if you have not managed to attend the performances of Bur- bage, Garrick, Kemble, Kean, Irv- ing, Forbes-Robertson, and Giel- gud, you may find Donald Mad- den’s Hamlet as good as any of our time. What is particularly engaging about the Phoenix production is its wilingness to trust Shakespeare. For instance, the “Hecuba” speech which the First Player delivers for Hamlet—-usually treated as an un- pleasant moment to be got over as soon as possible—turned out to be an interesting exercise in decla- mation, mainly because it was de- livered as if it made sense. The last time I saw it done, the First Player ranted so abominably that one couldn’t understand his being on such good terms with a fastidi- ous drama critic like Hamlet. Murder of Gonzago Similarly, “The Murder of Gon- zago” was played as if it could be enjoyed, and, sure enough, it could. This was the first time I have seen both the dumb show and the mur-9 der play given, and the smooth acting of the whole scene made me wonder why it has always been such a stumbling block for schol- ars. Claudius does watch both the dumb show and the play, and his reaction to the first is just what one might expect: growing dis- comfort and a vague sense that he had seen the whole thing some- where before. Instead of slackening as they reach the end, the actors seem to regain new strength—the final scene of the play is full of excite- ment, and the. blaze of color when all the protagonists lie gorgeously dead in their finery fully justified Fortinbras’s exclaimation “Proud Mr. Madden is a very young Hamlet.— much too young, if Shakespeare really had a thirty- year-old hero in mind, which I have always found hard to believe (how can Hamlet be two years older than Iago?). Perhaps it is his youth which gives him such re- spect for his author, for he plays Hamlet as if his knowledge of the “part came from the play, instead of from the critics. Grace and Agility From thé reviews, I had expect- - ed to hear a shouting, hysterical, table-pounding, and rather embar- rassing performance. It’s true that (Mr. (Madden’s excepional grace and agility sometimes tempt him to movements on the floor a little too often, I thought—but he never let his gestures detract from the meaning of his words, With Ho- ratio, his childlike simplicity gave one the necessary glimpse of the “Courtier’s, scholar’s, soldier’s” mind as it must have been before it grew bitter. Hamlet is what makes or: breaks Hamlet, so I have little to, say about the other actors. Instead, I shall now prove my impartiality by offering some criticisms... The mural in the Queen’s closet is both ugly and anachronistic, and its symbolic value is nil. Also, if one is going to keep Cornelius and Voltemand in the play to the ex- -tent of sending them off to Nor- way, why not let them come back too? _ Above all, why not be honest about Fortinbras? If you don’t appreciate his function in the play, leave him out; if you want him in, |tempted a quick survey of the at- uction of Hamlet leave him in—all of him. The Phoenix retains the barest mini- mum of references to him and it isn’t enough. Consequently, when he makes his first and only ap- pearance at the end of the play, there are plenty of spectators to ask, “‘Who’s he, the coroner?” Also, of course, it would help if a really first-rate actor were en- trusted with this part and, per- haps, doubled it with that of the ghost, which always tends to get short-changed. (I wonder wheth- er Shakespeare played it as badly as most of his successors?). To Eliminate “To Be” What I should really like to see is a Hamlet containing every scrap of the Fortinbras plot and cutting —guess what?—the “To be or not to be’. Everyone’ knows it by heart already, which forces the act- or either to throw the speech away by underplaying it, or else rack his brains for new, subtle, and, in short, farfetched ways of deliver- nig it. Mr. Madden, to do him jus- tice, resorts to neither expedient; but judge for yourself whether you can enjoy his soliloquy after the parodies, the high-schol recita- tions, the recordings, and above all, your own mental preconcep- tions of it. The solution might be for the actor to speak the first six words in loud, clear tones, and then turn his back to the audience, thus giv- ing them a chance to mutter the rest, which they are likely to do anyway. This would get the thing -over with a lot sooner, and relieve a lot of suppressed tensions among the spectators. It might even give the producer time to include Ham- let’s superb sololoquy, “How all occasions do inform against me”, which is the most unkindest cut of all in the otherwise admirable Phoenix production. qd Survey Uncovers College Approval Of ‘Peace Corps’ Prior to President Kennedy’s es- tablishment of the Peace Corps Administration on March 1, the American. Council on Education at- titude of its 963 member colleges and universities towards proposals for an international youth service corps. Questionnaires were mailed on February 17, and the Council received 468 replies before the sur- vey closed on ‘March 10.. Of these, 441 expressed approval of the pro- posed youth corps, now known as the Peace Corps. Most of the institutions replying indicated some’ degree of student interest in an international service conps. Half of the replies favored limiting the corps to four-year col- lege graduates; the other half felt the corps should be open to anyone who had had two years of educa- tion beyond high school. A major- ity of the colleges thought that the federal government by grant or contract should designate to vari- ous colleges, universities, and vol- untary agencies the _ selection, training, and overseas placement of youth corps members. Almost 300 colleges expressed willingness to train volunteers for the corps; a majority of these felt best equip- ped to train workers for service in Latin America, Peace Corps Volunteer Question- naires have been sent to 2000 col- leges and universities. The ques- tionnaire, prepared by the Peace Corps staff, asks the potential vol- unteer for information concerning his knowledge of foreign languag- es, his ability in various fields of technology, his athletic skills, his education, and his health.

Detailing the history and character of the Bank, Mr. Noone outlined its purpose and results. The World Bank is the largest multilateral agency engaged in aid- ing underdeveloped countries. Es- tablished in 1946 it now has sixty- eight member nations which, through their membership, are en- titled to borrow funds. A self- supporting agency capitalized at $21 billion, the Bank annually lends $700 million at an interest rate of 5%%. A co-operative organi- zation, the Bank offers publicly subscribed stock, 32% of which is owned by the United States. The ‘governing agency of the World Bank, located in Washing- ton, D. C., consists of a board of governors, one from each member nation. As an expediency, a board of eighteen hired directors controls daily business. Five of these are appointed by the Big Five, the other thirteen being elected by the other members. Formation of Bank When formulated at Bretton Woods in 1944, Mr. Noone stated, the Bank was designated to aid in the reconstruction of Europe. Be- cause its funds were seen to be in- sufficient for this purpose, the task was assumed by the Marshall Plan. In 1949 the Bank turned exclusive- ly to the assistance of underdevel- oped countries. ‘ According to Mr. Noone, the ob- ject of the Bank is to “overcome widespread poverty in the world without tearing down those human values which we hold in esteem.” Its aim is not merely. to hand out money which might be misused, but to provide a partnership rela- tion through which a member na- tion can obtain the aid it really needs. The laws of the Charter re- quire that money can be loaned: only for productive purposes (i.e. not for education, housing, and hospitals, etc.), only when the bor- rower, if a private concern, is endorsed by his government, and only if the money is not available elsewhere. Credit. Not Money When money is loaned, it is not given out, but is kept in the Bank credited to the borrower’s name. Against this credit specific bills from the project involved are drawn. As (Mr. Noone noted, be- cause a borrower never actually possesses the money himself, he cannot misuse it. : Being most concerned with what is relevant to and important for an underdeveloped country, the Bank will support only those projects which it considers worthwhile. In the last fifteen years World Bank thousand miles of highways, 4% million acres of irrigated land, six miles of port facilities, and 300 in- dustrial factories, (Besides lending money, Mr. Noone pointed out, the Bank also maintains economic sur- vey missions, specialized studies of program for college students.

With slides, Mr, Cooper pointed out traces of Cezanne, Iberian sculp- ture (of a “declassed” Roman or- der). and the sculptural Negro idiom. Following this painting, Picasso did work of two orders which are represented in it; sculp- tural painting and colorful, expres- sionistic painting. Picasso’s aversion to exhibiting accounted for the slow spread of Cubism in the Early period; Braque, Mr. Cooper related, did see the work of Picasso and promptly abandoned Fauvism for the new and independent tradition of Cub- ism. Mr. (Cooper considers Braque’s “Nude” (1907) as his first Cubist- influenced painting; Braque ‘was indebted to (Picasso for the mask- like treatment of the face and the treatment of the background, and to Cezanne and especially Matisse in his use of outline and sweeping brush stroke. Simplifications In challenging the traditional methods of treating form, color, light and line, Picasso simplified form and line in order to represent specific things; he attempted to transcend a single profile view and with Braque shared the idea of projecting figures forward in relief from a background. They handled light. so that no regular shadows fell; they did not use the line as a structural element; they suggested volume ‘by “faceting”, depth or space by a series of planes, “the upward piling” of elements in a picture. Both were concerned with the structural and tactile effects of things in realistic representation. The tangibility and true pictorial representation of space were their fundamental considerations. “The first true Cubist painting,” Mr. ‘Cooper feels, is Braque’s “The Harbor” (1909). In it light and color are treated together, the line is used merely as a means of mea- suring distance between points. The basis—of—the-ecomposition lies in-its horizontals and diagonals; there is a piling up of elements, and a conscious sense conveyed to the viewer of the solid reality of things in the treatment of space. ‘Mr. (Cooper concluded his lecture.

I would like to propose that such a decision be left to the student, and Bryn Mawr students, who have so much freedom ‘already, should logically be trusted with this re- sponsibility. If the student, who is paying for the right to attend classes, chooses not to take ad- vantage of this right, that is her prerogative. One of the most confusing as- pects of the problem is that the administration takes no consistent Stand on the rule. A freshman was put on three weeks cut-pro when she forgot to sign the attendance sheet for her last class; a senior who forgot to sign out received no .punishment,. .Qne girl was al- lowed tto leave school a day early to get home in time for her com- ing-out party; a girl from the Midwest was put on three weeks pro-cut because she left fifteen minutes early to make a_ plane connection.
