Crane, Franklin Expert, Discusses Early Political, Writings Speaking to a large group of dedicated scholars, more than half of them. adults, who had braved the Bryn Mawr Drizzle and con- fusions- of the new Biology Build- ing, Dr. Verner W. Crane of the University of Michigan delivered the annual Mallory Whiting Web- ster Lecture on Monday, Oct. 27. Dr. Crane, rated as one of the foremost - experts on Benjamin Franklin, gave the interest of basic - information - plus - tidbits to his topic, “Benjamin Franklin Eighteenth Century.” He began by pointing out that Franklin, who wrote reams of copy for news- papers both in England and in America, was the chief advocate of the Colonies, abroad, in the 1760’s and ’70’s. Being the most adroit and experienced of America’s voices abroad, Franklin accom- plished much in London journals with his satirical commentaries on political and economic policies of his own country and others. Newspapers Were Cockpit Dr. Crane was quick to explain that there is no modern equivalent of the role which newspapers played in politics in the eighteenth century. They provided an open forum—‘“a cockpit for political sparring,” as one of Franklin’s contemporaries remarked — for political essays and columns of opinion on the events of the times. The newspapers which carried such debate were not political or- gans as we today would be tempted to suspect, but carried these opin- ionated. articles because they aroused ypublic opinion and thus sold copies. No: Firm Editorial Policy . There was little firm editorial policy, and the same paper. would in most cases be willing to carry articles of opposing opinion. Ac- cording. to Mr, Crane, Franklin himself complained of his own essays being. changed by the edi- tors-only once, and that piece was later reprinted in full. Partisans in the political battles that raged at the time complained of bias on the part of the journals, but in actuality there were no Whig or Tory publications until the time just preceding the revolution itself. The joufnals were for the most part impartial and served a neces- sary function: .“Printers provided the battleground, and writers were the skirmishers,” a publisher- friend of Franklin’s was supposed to have said. Influence Won Success Other men before Franklin, said Dr. Crane, had made use of Eng-)}, lish newspapers for political ex- pression, but Franklin himself was quite successful dye to his tremen- dous influence in }American jour- nalism and his many acquaintances among the printers in London, He was usually granted speedy publi- _cation of his essays and often was awarded the lead article in the paper. One of his. associates, a man named Strong, who was of particu- lar assistance in introducing Franklin to influential people and speaking well of him among men of the trade, remainéd friends’ with Franklin until almost the time of actual war between their respective countries, pe their greater and greater variance. As Dr. Crane noted, Franklin accomplished much by satire. As the essayist himself once re- marked, “I used all the smooth words I could muster, and when I oor weary of it I became saucy.” By 1774 Franklin firmly believed that military arrogance was dan- gerous, but became more strongly Continued on Page 5, Col. 1 Alumnae Present A. Jambor Recital Saturday evening, November Ist, at 8:30 p.m., Mme. Agi Jambor of the Bryn Mawr music department will give a piano recital as a part of the Alumnae Weekend. Her program will consist of “The ‘Goldberg’ Variations” by Johann Sebastian Bach and “Fantasia for the Piano” by Robert Schumann. “The ‘Goldberg’ Variations” first published in 1742 are believed to have been composed at the instiga- tion of Count Kaiserling, the for- mer Russian ambassador to the court of Saxony. He mentioned at one time to Bach that he would like to have some clavier pieces for Johann Gottlieb Goldberg to play for him at night. The Count made this request because he often suffered from insomnia and sought something to brighten his sleep- less nights. ‘ The history of. Schumann's SFan- tasia” is somewhat obscure. It is believed that the ‘first movement was. composed during the summer of 1886 when Schumann was sep- arated from the woman he wanted to marry, because of her father’s opposition. Later, he wrote the other two movements: the second, a triumphal march, which is be- lieved to have been composed when the marriage defying her father was decided upon; and the third “Sternenkranz” (Crown of Stars). Students and faculty are cor- dially invited by the Alumnae As- sociation to the program. They may obtain tickets at the Office of Public Information on the second floor of Taylor Hall.

Goodbye Summer, Goodbye, Good- bye, is an example of the pensive quality of many of his poems.

His humor is evident most strik- ingly in his description of a trip through~a~ small town in Iowa.

During this time she will stay in the Deanery and hold informal of- fice hours in order that she may meet with interested students and be available for criticizing manu- scripts. Miss Welty, a native of Missis- sippi, published her first volume of short stories in 1941 and her most recent one in 1955. She is known chiefly as a regional writer, as many of her stories have their setting in Mississippi. According to Miss Bettina Linn of the Eng- lish Department, Miss Welty has an ear for dialogue and excep- tional “talent with language.” The Lucy Martin Donnelly fel- lowship is given in memory‘ of Miss. Donnelly, a former head of the English Department, to an American. woman writer. Previous recipients of the fellowship have been Elizabeth Bishop, May Sarton and Elizabeth Bowen. Haverford Marks 125th Anniversary Prominent among the events in celebration of the 125th. anniver- sary of the founding of Haverford College was the Convocation on the Birthday of the College held Tues- day, October 25 in the Field House. Elizabeth Gray’ Vining, noted author, and Dr. Henry Pitney Van Dusen, president of Union Theolog- ical Seminary, gave the principal addresses. President Borton of Haverford, acting for the college, conferred honorary degrees upon Mrs, Vining and Dr. Levi Arnold Post, Haverford professor emeri- tus of Greek. Awarding Elizabeth Gray Vining an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters, President Borton cited the author a “sensitive and pene- trating biographer” of one of the, College’s alumni. Presenting Dr. Post with a similar degree, Dr. Borton noted the “solidarity and originality” of his scholarship, ano said, “You have ben a Socratic gadflyto-your college and stud- ents.” The Convocation was only one in a series of programs centering around the birthdate of the Col- lege. Frank Morley, editor and author opened the celebration with a lecture, “Christopher Morley as Man and Writer’, October 19. With reference to the occasion of his lecture, Mr.. Morley spoke es- pecially on what Haverford meant as community and college to Christopher Morley before he moved with his family from the area at the age of eleven. Second in the series was the Alumni Homecoming Birthday Par- ty, Saturday, October 25. Dean P. Lockwood, professor of Latin, em- eritus, Haverford College, and President Borton addressed the alumni.

There is no logical place for it in the system . .. The practical Americans have no use for formal culture or discipline. All institutions which do not adapt themselves to modern demands will soon disap- pear.” Fifty years.ago Isaac Sharpless, president of Haver- ford College, used these words to’ describe’ the criticism a small liberal arts college often receives. | es This year Haverford celebrated its one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary. Like other small colleges, it has had to resist the “lure of expansion” and to defend its posi- tion in the American educational system. It has been and still is confronted with criticism similar to that which it re- : ceived fifty years ago. Pressure has come from. forces out- side the college urging it to expand its size, its curriculum, and to lower its academic standards. Criticism has come from within the college itself suggesting a curriculum that: will meet the “modern demands” of “practical Americans.” Like all colleges, Haverford has benefited and continues to benefit from such criticism. . In addition, however, ‘it'-has avoided yielding too much to the demands of external forces. Retaining its high academic standards and the ideal of the small college, Haverford College offers proof that there is a place, and an important one, for such an institution in the educational system of America today.

Although my recollections might not be entirely trustworthy, I have a dairy, composed in Greek and Latin, to refresh my memory. Unlike most children I never suffered from being dropped, step- ped on or kicked, and thus was able to enjoy a normal childhood, free from those feelings of insecurity which have plagued so many of my friends. At the age of one I was somewhat socially backward and occupied much of my time in reading, instead of indulging in merry games with my peers. Thus my intellectual tendencies were formed, and my deep love of soli- tude and scholarship. In my second year I was some- what gregarious, although I shall always regard this as a secondary part of my character. My popu- larity was aided by my athletic prowess, as I was a much sought after member .of the hoop team. The languages which I learned at that time have been of great use to me ever since, as I passed my Greek and Latin orals as a sub- freshman, but here we see evi- dence of the truth of my original vremise; I was never able to learn any other language. Inci- dentally, I. am applying for my fellowship at the University of Oxbridge,» because I see in your Halfbright Candidates’ rules that there is no country where Greek I have also heard that the grey bridge are a comfort to one edu- In Medias Res By Ellie Winsor — Owing to the indefiniteness of the creative mind (brevis esse la- boro, obscurus fio) I cannot out- line my project in detail, but my purpose is to complete the basic research for my epic poem deal- ing with the Development of Phi- losophic Thought in the Western World. This work, begun in my early youth, was seriously hindered by the commencement of my for- mal education, and I have only recently brought the total numbef of completed lines to 23,639. In addition I have 488 half lines which I carry with me at all times ready to be completed whenever inspira- tion ‘strikes. In conclusion there is little I can say, except to give a general eval- uation of my personality. Al- though I am not a typical student, still I am, in my own opinion, su- premely normal. Not average. but normal.

Therefore I can only analyze that Bryn Mawrter in terms of her activities on campus titudes in society at large. I es- pecially had no way of ascertain- ing what these girls did in their graduates I talked to emphasized the fact that they went off campus for all their social activities with men. While in many a smoke- dense speakeasy “the saxaphone wailed and the gin flask went its rounds and the dancers made their treadmill circuit,” Bryn Mawr sophomores gave their annual dance for the freshmen, and they all demurely. danced ‘with one an- of 1928 that a tea dance in Rocke- feller initiated the radical prece- comitant features of the educat- ed mind were visible in the aver- age Bryn Mawr girl’s approach to the 1920’s. In terms of attitudes she was rebelling along with every- one else, but her: rebellion was strictly within the limits of the active intellect. Before beginning the analysis of these attitudes it must be reiterated that the decade does not constitute a homogeneous block of time. Some of the atti- tudes moved steadily in one direc- tion throughout the period but oth- ers underwent’a noticeable change around the middle of the decade. When I looked at my notes on the College News in perspective and studied my records ofthe in- terviews with Bryn Mawr gradu- ates of different years, I realized that the period 1918-1924 was dif- ferent in some ways from the years 1924-1928. Up until 1924 the girls seemed to take much more pride in their personal appearance. Miss Woodworth remembers every- one as wearing immaculate white starched shirtwaists and taking particular care to appear _neat at. 'pus activities.

(President Borton, in his remarks to the Convocation, stated that while other events surrounding the anniversary indicated the interest of the College in the realms of in- tellectual and scientific activity, the Convocation had a religious em- phasis.

Mrs, Vining also spoke of the influence Rufus Jones had had on the college and its students, not only as a professor, but as a main strength of the 5th day Meeting, as an author and in personal con- tact with the students. “He was a man who made goodness vivid and intellectually respectable,” Mrs. Vining said. “Re-thinking Religion and Edu- cation was the title of Dr. Henry Van Dusen’s address to the Convo- cation. In treating of the relation- ship, often uneasy, between educa- tion and religion, he said that these two great branches of hu- man searching. have a “common al- legiance to a single sovereign truth”, In the beginning of American ed- ucation, Dr. Van Dusen noted, the institutions of higher learning were founded to provide intelligent leadership for the governnient, and a literate ministry.

Gilbert Describes Election Of Pope _ Appropriately, in the interim be- tween the death of Pope Pius XII and the beginning of the conclave of the College of Cardinals, Mr. Gilbert of the History Department spoke on the Papacy. This address was given Thursday evening, Oc- tober 23, in the Common Room. The first part of Mr. Gilbert’s lecture gave a historical sketch of the development of the papal election. sa The announcement of the new Pope climaxes a ceremony which began to assume its present shape in the. Middle Ages. 1059 marked the first fundamental decree per- taining to the election of the Pope, this being that the election should be strictly in the hands of the car- dinals: cardinal bishops, cardinal deacons, and cardinal priests. At this time most of these men were in or near Rome, hence the “car- dinal” or “hinge of the door,’ i.e. close to the door of St. Peter’s. In 1179 the next big move to- ward today’s strictly bound pro- ceedings was made when a decree was published to the effect that a 2/8 majority was necessary for a cardinal to claim the election. This decree helped to lessen the wrang- ling which characterized the elec- tion. In 1274 came the decision that the election should be in sec- ret, that the cardinals be closed in and allowed no contact with the outside world. This tended to es- tablish the length of the present conclave; previously it had begun with lengthy banqueting, and might last for as long as three years. Fundamentally, nothing has been changed since then, although the number of cardinals hag been established at not more than sev- enty, of which six are to be car- dinal bishops, fifty cardinal priests, ‘and fourteen cardinal deacons. The reasons for the closed con- claves were and are of a political nature; the Church wished to avoid the pressure of all outside influ- ence. The priests of the diocese of Rome meant to exclude the Ro- man nobility, and to halt interfer- ence by the political rulers of Eu- rope; until 1187 the Pope ruled a church state of vast extent. Today, because the church no longer controls politically much land or many people, political questions are of least importance in the election of a Pope. From this point of view the secrecy of the conclave is less _ neces- sary; however, political con- siderations are not entirely dead. Following the death of Leo XIII, che Emperor Franz Joseph of Aus- tria vetoed the election of a car- dinal, whereupon the next Pope, Pius X, abolished the right to veto by a political ruler. During the election of Pius XII, members of the Italian govern-| ment spoke against Cardinal Pa- celli as Pope; on his subsequent election his detractors backed down and said that their reason for denouncing Pacelli had been to arouse greater interest in him and thereby Sour grapes, perhaps? In any event, the Italian government had its own particular interests in cer- tain candidates. Dr. Gilbert then got down to brass tacks: “I suppose that. now you want me to predict who will be the next Pope?” The possibili- ties with regard to the candidate present a difficult. choice: “He who enters the conclave Pope comes out Cardinal.” Theoretically, any Catholic can be elected Pope. One need not be chosen from the Sacred College.

Lewis, who comes to Bryn Mawr’s__ philosophy department from the University of London, found Pennsylvania quite differ- ent from his native climate. “You have more variety, more sudden changes. And then, it’s so hot in- side. It makes one less alert and lively. Most English apartments don’t fhave central heating, you know. Ours did, but we only used it when it was absolutely neces- sary, along with the fireplace. And that’s what I rather miss here—a sparkling fire in the center of the house.” Professor Lewis found it pleas- ant to be on a small self-contained campus again, after three years of teaching history and philosophy of religion at the University of London, with its 27,000 students. “One of the advantages is that my wife can go to lectures, and she enjoys them very much.” He was particularly delighted with the familiar look of Bryn Mawr’s “English Gothic” architecture, and the bright colors of the autumn trees. At London the _ faculty lived as far as 30 miles or more from the University, and the stu- dent hostels were also scattered. “It’s harder to make friends there; you can’t just drop in on somebody, because he may live Library Increases Record Collection ‘une Record Library announces ule acquisiuon OL these recordings: wariuK: Suing Quartet No. 3; String Quartet No. 4. weetmmoven: Symphony No. 3 (“The Hiroica’), Sonata No, 2, Sonata No. 14 (“Moonlight”), Sonata No. 26, Sonata No. 171, Sonata No. ZU, Sonata No. 23 (Appas- sionata).

The only way you can meet people is by .appointment. It’s difficult to arrange committee meetings, even.” Less Awe of Professors As to Bryn Mawr students, Pro- fessor Lewis described them as bright and well trained. “In Brit- ish universities, people specialize a bit earlier, so that you know the individual more quickly. We make a sharp distinction between those taking a ‘pass course’ and those taking an. ‘honors course.’ Here you have all types of students in one class. I- find this quite stimu- lating.” The famous Bryn Mawr. apathy did not seem to have struck Pro- fessor Lewis, who found his stu- dents somewhat more willing to talk than their English counter- parts, “fa little less awed by the professor, perhaps. This may be because I have more consecutive periods of lecturing here—in Lon- don I gave one lecture a week in each course, and didn’t encourage - talk, because I wanted all the available time myself. We supple- mented the lectures with seminars. But I think class discussion igs a good idea. Some of the questions asked in my Philosophy of Re- ligion course have made me think very hard about some things.” Welsh Native Feels. at Home Before going to London, Profes- . sor. Lewis, who is a native of Wales, taught there at University College in Bangor, a small college with its own campus, “though we don’t have that word in England.” He found Bryn Mawr somewhat reminiscent of Bangor and added, “All the Welsh names around here make one feel quite at home. I wonder what those early Welsh settlers were like. Hope to look into it a bit later on.” Mile.

GILBERT ON PAPACY Continued from Page 3, Col. 2 position, although no non-Cardinal has become Pope in 700 years. Dr. Gilbert felt personally that the Cardinals would not move against this long tradition by electinc Archbishop Montini. Another issue prominent in this election is the question of the elec- tion of a non-Italian; for the first time in four hundred years there is a majority of non-Italian Cardi- nals in the College. “It is quite clear that no» American will be elected.” Dr. Gilbert felt that the ‘College will elect no-one with such strong political ties. Also disfavor- ing the election of a°non-Italian #ope are the immediate practical problems. The Vatican is in Rome and the Pope must be equipped to wmandie daily concerns and Italian atfairs. The best possibility seems co be the Armenian Cardinal, Gregory Peter XV Cardinal Aga- gianian, who has lived in Rome; put here the possibility is small. in searching for indications. as to who might be the next Pope, one must look for a historical pat- cern. In the 19th century such a pattern is evident. A Pope with definite tendencies is often fol- towed by someone who represents an opposite emphasis, The papacy is an absolute monarchy, thus this cyclical succession represents about the only way to have a vari- ation in church policy. Pius IX was opposed to modern’ trends—he stood against rationalism and sci- entific advance. His successor, Leo XII was the most liberal of the modern Popes. Following, Pius X was a primarily religious figure. Benedict XV, his successor, was one of the church’s most elegant diplomats. This pattern of succes- sion affords a primary. reason for the fact that Vatican secretaries of State have never (except in one case) succeeded to the papacy; vheir policies will be too much like those of their predecessor. The position of Pius XII is diffi- cult to analyze according to these conclusions. His election marked che one time a secretary of state did become Pope. One reason for vhis may: have been the time of nis election. Europe was on the verge of World War II and a change of policy at such a time was not considered wise. Pius XII was elected as a diplomatic Pope, but he was also a great religious personality. Pius XII is often praised for his fight against Communism, but this seemed unimportant to Dr. Gilbert —‘A Pope must be against Com- munism, the way he is against sin.” More important seems his internationalization of the church. Pius XII was strongy concerned with modernizing the church, and utilizing the communications with large numbers of people available via newspapers, movies, etcetera. His policies along this line helped greatly to strengthen his office. Pius XII worked equally hard against the watering-down of church doctrine which might at- tend the liberalizing of views with regard to rationalism and science. His pronouncements on theological questions paralleled traditional Thomasin, and, notably, proclaimed the dogma of the bodily ascension of Mary. To accomplish his aims, Pius XII found it~ necessary to centralize the church more than the Curia cardinals. would have liked. He had no secretary of state, and the fact' shat the present conclave wishes the next Pope to have one was signified by. their recent. setting aside of the rooms of the former secretary of state. Of the possibilities for the elec- tion, the Archbishops of Venice and Naples are old; and the Arch- bishop of Genoa, Siri, is too yo 45, a list of students who may be interested in attending.

Numerous editor- ials on the subject in the College News, such as the one which moan- ed, “Is there no cleanly soul in the College?”, protested this develop- ment, but girls continued to run their new hose deliberately in or- der to mix with the creme de la creme who preferred to be “shod- dily clad.” I was unable to dis- cover any underlying motivation for this; it was evidently simply-a college fad: Campus Interest. Shifts Furthermore, during the first part of the decade, when the stu- dent rarely ever left the campus, there was a great deal of interest in campus activities and things “collegiate”; but by 1925 a definite anti-collegiate attitude had devel- oped. This is best expressed by an editorial in the College News (March, 1925), which states: “We seem to be emerging from the great collegiate per- iod . . , Class undertakings are disappearing; interest in tthe routine business of the Campus is waning ... This is due, large- ly, we believe, to more wisdom.” Social Service and Women’s Rights There was, moreover, a high point of interest in social service around and following the establish- ment of the Summer School for Women Workers in Industry. This unusual interest continued up through 1924, when Bryn Mawr girls were still attending bi-weekly meetings of industrial and college girls to discuss trade unions, strikes, ..workers’.. education, equal rights, and working class ideals. But as activity of this kind lost some of its more radical nature, interest paled slightly, and by the Spring of 1926 the possibility of abolishing the campus social serv- ice organization was discussed, as it was not “proving valuable to either the students or the centers.” (College News, 1926.) First Post-Suffrage Election There also appeared to be a high point of~political interest around’ the time of the Harding Cox elec- tion, the - first election after the granting of the suffrage. (Inci- dentally, the present political loy- alties of the student body as op- posed to the faculty were formed by them, with Harding decisively carrying the student mock, vote and Cox sweeping the ranks of the faculty). But after the tragic “unveiling” of the man they had so ardently supported (“You are on the right track, Warren; go ahead!” proclaimed the College News of March 2, 1921), they seemd to lose an active interest in political affairs. During, the first part of the period the Bryn Mawr BRYN MAWR IN 1920°S Liberal Club took a tremendous interest in national and interna- tional matters. This is best illus- trated by their concern over the Washington Arms Conference. A disarmament mass meeting was held at the college, and two hun- dred dollars were donated to a fund to finance disarmament propagan- da. Several months later the Bryn Mawr Resolutions were drafted: “Resolved, that the conference does not adjourn until it has sev- erally discussed and acted upon the following questions: 1) Shan- tung, 2) Manchuria, 3) Siberia; and that the twenty-one de- mands, as a possible cause of war, be also discussed.” (College News, 1922). Disarmament League A Bryn Mawr girl was elected regional chairman of the Eastern Student Disarmament League, and on February 22, 1922, she went to Washington to submit the Bryn Mawr Resolutions to President Harding. Bryn Mawr took an act- ive part in the National Student Forum, an organization which at- tempted to conduct an open-mind- ed inquiry into the problems of the day through speakers’ bureaus, a press service for college news- papers, and student conferences. The Liberal Club was especially quick to endorse the action of the Clark College students, who revolt- ed against their administration be- cause the Clark President inter- rupted a speech, being addressed to them by Scott Nearing, on the grounds that.it/was “unsafe” for them to hear any more. “The right to ideas is theirs,” cried the College News (1922). An. indica- tion of their political foresight is furnished by the following ed- itorial published on March 12, 1924: “To. the placid tourist, all’s right with Italy . . . Business- men express themselves optim- istically . .. Still we, the reac- tionary minority, hesitate ... Before voicing sentimental opin- ions on the subject of Fascism . read a few back numbers of the New Republic and the North _ ; American. It is a hazardous opinion at best that the nobility of the end justifies the means. (College News, 1924). Liberal Club Disbanded But near the end of 1924 the Lib- eral Club found that its average attendance had dwindled to only fifteen, and it began to content it- self more and more with “research and sociology.” It completely dis- solved soon afterwards, and was never effectively revived as far as I could tell.

He was most firm in defending America’s attitude of risking everything rather than be over-run by a country with op- posing views to its own. Here he was on dangerous ground, but com- promise did not seem to be part of Franklin’s constitution, for even on such delicate subjects Franklin had this to say about his political opponents: “They are mistaken, but it is their misfortune, not their fault.” He claimed that those who held opinions least like his own had been convinced of their atti- tude by the many, not by seeing the truth. said more of American views than of his own. He was known to say, “These are their notions — they may be erring,” but at the same time he was the great editor and interpreter of American views in his time, declaring them in the strong terms that only a master Jof language can control..He com- plained that in England he was accused of being too American, and in America too English, but this difficulty seems hardly to have deterred him Of course there were many others writing political essays at the time of Franklin, but as Dr. Crane pointed out, the custom of writing anonymously, which was a custom highly respected in those days, made it difficult to pin them down, Franklin himself used as many as 40 different signatures gested that one of his main mo- tives for doing this was to create the impression that there was a host of influential American po- litical writers.

However, thanks to the. Pennsyl- vania Railroad we all attend Bryn Mawr College. This sounds a bit like a peculiar riddle? The answer lies in the his- tory of the town of Bryn Mawr itself. When first permanently set- .jtled in 1697 by Rowland Evans, the town was called Humphreys- ville and his particular plantation, Bryn Mawr. The local railroad sta- tion was called Whitehall after the old Whitehall hotel located nearby. In the year 1858, the name Bryn Mawr was chosen to include the whole town when the Pennsylvania Railroad undertook to develop the town as a fashionable summer re- sort and exclusive residential area.
