CLARK STUDENTS FIGHT FOR ACADEMIC FREEDOM;
= INTERRUPTION OF SCOTT NEARING SPEECH;
~ -PRESIDENT AND AUTHORITIES DEFEND THEIR STAND



Statement Framed Advocating Free: Thought And Protesting a

Charge Of

Bolshevism

_ STUDENT MEASURES UPHELD BY PART OF FACULTY

(By John Rothschild, Secretary, National’

Student Forum. )-

Worcester, Mass. March 24; 1922.—At
Clark University, in this city, there is a

_ revolt of the student body against the

‘college administration founded upon an
alleged -infringement. of academic. freedom.

On the evening of March. 14 Dr. Scott
Nearing spoke under the auspices of a stu-
dent organization known’ as the Clark Lib-
eral- Club, his subject being “Control of
Public Opinion.” Dr. Harry E. Bagnes,
professor of history of thought and cul-
ture, presided. The meeting had been ad-
vertised throughout. Worcester, and an
audience of 200 students, professors, and
townspeople—each having paid twenty-five
cents to hear the ee ee the
assembly hall.

Dr. Nearing’s address had been in prog-
ress an hour and three-quarters, when Dr.
W. W. Atwood, President of Clark, en-
tered. the hall.
after, he rose, crossed over to Ross Fraser,
’22, President of the Liberal Club, and
ordered Mr. Fraser to “stop him,” to “tell
him to. stop..@ Mr. Fraser went: t the
platform and spoke to Dr. Nearing, who
immediately stopped his address. Mean-
while Dr. Atwood had stepped to the plat-
form. Facing the audience he declared the
meeting dismissed. Amazement held the
Dr. Atwood repeated
in an angry manner several times ‘This
meeting is dismissed!” The bulk of: the
audience still remaining. in the hall Dr.
Atwood ordered the janitor to extinguish

’ the lights, and intimated that the police

might be summoned.

As soon as they had recovered suffici-
ently from their amazement the students
who had arranged the meeting, accom-
panied by Dr. Néaring and followed by
part of the audience, led the way out of
the hall to a nearby fraternity house, where
the lecturer finished his ‘address.

Dr. Atwood’s sudden action came as a]

great shock to the students. . The meeting
had been scheduled since December; Dr.
Atwood had assigned the hall in which it
was to be held and had granted the priv-
ilege of charging admission; he had made
a disparaging remark concerning the
speaker at the time of assigning the hall,

«— which evidenced the fact,that he was acy

quainted with Dr. Nearing’s philosophy.
Later, in accounting fer his action, Dr. At-
wood said to the reporters, “I closed the
meeting because there were so many of our
undergraduates present: I naturally would
feel a responsibility “for their hearing
further statements such as were being
made by the speaker. =

' Dr. Nearing’s address was an attempt
to show that the dominant interests in
any society, in order to protect themselves,
get control of the opinion-creating forces—
_the press, the pulpit, and the schools. The
authorities referred to by him were Bryce’s

“American Commonwealth,” part five, and:

Veblen’s “Theory of the Leisure Class.”
Clark students are chuckling over the fact
that Thorsten Veblen is Dr. Atwood’s
brother-in-law, and-has been invited by the
latter to lecture at the tiniversity.

In commenting on the affair from the
~ student poiit of view, Ross Fraser said,

wmatents ee — alike resent the atti- | -

de of President Atwodd at the ‘meeting
last night. Nothing could better illustrate
and prove the argument of the lecturer.
We feel that Dr. Atwood has violated the
essential spirit of Clark, which has always
been exemplified in freedom of speech.

Students Summon President

By Wednesday morning the excitement
of.the theeting had spread throughout the
student body, and the local newspapers
were whetting the interest of the public.
At the instigation of three of the students
—not members: of the Liberal Club—the
president of the student body called a
meeting to discuss the affair. .The men
who precipitated this action were F. Lovell
"Bixby, ’22; President-of the Musical Clubs,
Warren’ Hume, President of the Senior
Class and Amatéur Boxing Champion of
New England, and Stewart M. Pratt, ’22,
manager of the baseball team. .When ques-
tioned, as to the basis of their procedure,
Pratt said: “President .Atwood’s action
appeared to us as a direct thrust at the
intellectual freedom which makes Clark a
live place, and at a tradition of Which we
are all proud.” ;

With the exception of ten students, who
‘refrained from voting, the meeting of the
student body was in favor of asking Presi-

dent Atwood to address the students_ in

explanation ‘ ‘of. the views of the adminis-
tration regarding the freedom-of- thought
and “its expressign to be allowed in Clark
University: under said administration.” The
treatment of the ten students, conspicuous
by their neutrality, may be cited as char-
acteristic of the spirit in which Clark stu-
dents are handling their side of the con-
troversy. Some of the over-zealous were

BESS PIERSON’24, WINS CUP
IN FENCING MEET TUESDAY

University of Pennsylvania Awarded

nes ’ Second Place “
J. YEATMAN 22, RANKS THIRD

:

First and third places were won by. B.
Pierson, ’24, and J. Yeatman, ’22, for Bryn
Mawr in the fencing meet for individual
championship held in, the gymnasium last
Tuesday evening with the University, of
Pennsylvania. The ymeety which was held
under the auspices of the American Fen-
cers League of América, was conducted
formally «and the evening~dress of the
judges,..members—of the league, gave. a
unique note to the gymnasium.

Mr. Terroni, fencing master, opened the
meet by speaking of fencing in this country
and explaining the system of the bouts.
The American Fencers’ League was first
organized at the end of the last century,
he said. Usually competitions ean only be
held among members, but when a cup was
offered to women’ an exception was made.
The first. intercollegiate bout was held at
the University of. Pennsylvania, last year,
when Bryn Mawr was defeated. This year
two more prizes were added, a foil and a
pair of fencing gloves.

Seventeen ent#ies, altogether, were
made, eleven from Bryn Mawr and six
‘from the University. These were divided
into three groups who bouted among them-
selves to. determine the two winners each,
who then competed for. the final champion-
ship. The Bryn Mawr entries were? A.
Nicoll, J. Yeatman, B. Barber, M. Speer,
M. Conolly, H..Adams, B. Pierson, I. Cole-
man, M. Voorhees, P. Smith and K. Starr.

As the result of the-preliminaries, three
competitors from each side entered the
finals, Of these B. Pierson and Miss Har-
very tied for the first place, which, how-
ever, Miss Pierson won on account of her
superior form. She was awarded the cup.
Miss Harvey then took second place ,and
the foil, while J. Yeatman won third place
and the ‘gloves. —

VARSITY AGAIN VICTORIOUS;





SCORES 52-6 OVER ADELPHI



Brooklyn Players Put Up Quick Game
In Spite of Overwhelming Defeat

Speedy playing through on both sides
characterized the basket ball game on Sat-
urday between Adelphi and Bryn Mawr,
which ended in a score of 52-6 in favor
of Bryn Mawr.

Adelphi’s passing was unusually quick
and sure, their shooting being their weak-
est point. Varsity played its usual game,

invariably getting the jump and showing
very pretty team work. Nicoll made sev-
eral spectacular baskets; Remak’s throwing
was not sure in the first half but visibly



improved in the Second. Martin and Pa-,

lache’ worked together. increasingly well ;
Bliss and Lewitz as guards were kept busy
a great deal of the time; Lewitz deserves
special mention for some vely difficult
catches. «i

MISS AMY LOWELL SPEAKS
INFORMALLY AT DEANERY

Earlier Lecture on Chinese _Pesiry :
€alls Miss Lowell to Philadelphia ©

READS MANY SELECTIONS

Miss Amy Lowell, one of the best known
poéts of America, spoke informally to a
large group of: students in the deanery,
last. Thursday evening, after dining with
President Thomas. The News Board, thew
Lantern .Board, the. €nglish Club, and
many individual undergraduates and ‘grad-
uates were present to hear her. :

‘Miss Lowell did-not give a set talk upon
any given topic. She answered a good
many ‘questions on literary subjects, and
afterwards read ‘several selections from
her poems.

In answer to the-question, “Who in your
opinion are the best contemporary Amer-
ican poets?” Miss Lowell replied promptly :
“Carl Sandberg, Robinson, Robert Frost







and Vachel Lindsay; while St. -Vin-
cent Millay hovers upon the ellge. of the
highest rank. Sara Teasedale, William

Rose Benet and Hilda Conklin are good
examples of the second rank.”

ets in England are aiming at an en-
tirely different goal from that of American
peets,” Miss Lowell went on,- “they are
seeking perfection in raditional forms.
They are trying to do consummately what
has been done before, trying to foster an
old tradition. In America, on the other
hand, poets are putting originality before
everything. * Except that they use nomi-
nally the same language, their work is no
more like what is being produced in Eng-
land than Spanish poetry is like Chinese.
More English poets write fairly good
poetry than Americans- do, -but our best
are, I think, much better work than theirs. —
For the most part Englishmen write better
than Americans, but iti my opinion, no
Englishman is at present producing “any-
thing which surpasses. the work ‘of our .
best American poets.”

Before reading “Lilacs” at the audience’s
request, Miss Lowell told an anecdote con-
cerning the line in the poem, “The oriole’s
weak soft song.” She had, she “declared,
received a number of letters after ‘every
occasion on which she read this poem from
persons who declared that. the oriole. is
noted for its loud song.’ As she had heard
the orioles singing softly herself, however,
she refused to change the line in the poem.
Later she found that at a certain season
the oriole does have a soft note.

Other poems which she ftad were: “The
Cross Roads,” “Patterns,” and a number

|of short poems from her new book of

Chinese translations, “Fir Flower Tablets.”
Gives Afternoon Lecture in Town
Miss Lowell lectured in the afternoon

at the Bellevue-Stratford under the aus-

pices of the Bryn Mawt @hinese Scholar-
ship Committee.

Her only qualifications mere, she said,
that she had lived for four years with the
idea of Chinese poetry in her mind and
that the one hundred and fifty poems in
Fir Flower Tablet were the result of these
four years. ~

Fir Flower Tablets was written, Miss
Lowell explained in a very unique , way.
Mrs. Florence Aysceregh, of. the Royal
Asiatic Society, with whom she worked,
would send her a copy of a Chinese poem
with as many translations as possible for
each character, an analysis of the charac-
ters, the story of all the allusions and a
rough -~-paraphrase: ~
knows no. Chinese, would turn the poem
into English and send it back to Mrs.



Aysceregh, who would translate it back

Freedom and Education

Socrates and the hemlock were not the
first incident of the academic free speech
Nor will the Clark College
affair, we fear, be the last. The dispute
is perennial.
and provoked the students since educa-
tion began, and it will.go on until
teacher and student agree upon the same
definition of education.

President Atwood did ant believe that

“s Professor Scott Nearing’s lecture, at

Clark College last week. was of educa-
tional value. It is his op\hion that aca-
demic freedom should be tempered by
the judgment of the authorities, who are
responsible for doctrines promulgated
within the university walls: Education
is for him, then, a pursuit of the truth
within limits set by the _giniversity
authorities. “Professor Nearing’s: ideas
fell outside those limits and were con
sequently undesirable. For the students
of Clark, however, education is a pur-
suit of truth “in whatever form: it my
appear, wholly free frosh coercion by any
influénce.” They: indignantly deny that
a limit exists beyond which they may
not push this pursuit. .

The students are right now as they
were in the days of Hus and Luther.
The right ” ideas is theirs. _Where is

The Mysteries of Taylor

Taylor “is a place which few people
except Nelson understand. Many and
mysterious are the things in it, but even
more mysterious are the things which
come out of it. The height of strange-
ness was reached ‘last Thursday morning
when the grass in front of Taylor was
strewn with pitchers, wash-basins, waste
baskets, clothes baskets, chairs, storm
doors, desks, a grindstone, a box containing
large “balls of twine, and even a statue
‘pedestal ! The curious might ask what
they wee for and where they were going,
but he would ask in vain.



To the Editors of THe Cottece News:
The recent drive in Taylor and the doar-
to-door canvass-in the dormitories netted.
only half the sum anticipated which evi-
dences the fact that the College cannot
afford. to pledge out-and-out a larger
amount to Bates. It therefore becomes
necessary in order to maintain Bates this
summer to give up something which the
College would otherwise have:-.-
For this reason the Commnieres, is saiue
the students to give up sending flowers for
Senior Play and Glee Club in behalf of
Bates. Cards are being printed and will
be sold in every hall. -If everyone pays

for flowers a great step will have been
taken towards obtaining the necessary
amount. Tue Bates CoMMITTEE.

RESENT CHARGE OF BOLSHEVISM

for trying the ten dissenters as to their
sympathies. It sufficed for one person. to
rise in the meeting and to declare “if we
are fighting for the right of free speech
we must concede the right of free silence.”
The ten were allowed to leave the room
unmolested.
Resent Charge of Bolshevism

The protest initiated at the ‘student body
meeting on the 15th has been steadily gain-.
ing in momentum. The committees ap-
pointed by the meeting scattered at once to
the stacks in. the library and soon the Col-
lege bulletin boards were plastered with
quotations from Wendell Phillips, Thomas
Jefferson, Lincoln, etc., supporting free
speech. Someone even dug out a clause
in the will of the founder, Jonas G. Clark,
stipulating for intellectual freedom in the
university.

The undergraduate students have pre-
pared the following statement in answer |
to charges made chiefly in the local press
and from the pulpits of some of the
churches :

_1.._We_do_not advocate socialisri, bol-
shevism,.communism, or anarchism.

RECITAL IN PHILADELPHIA

Interprets Delightful Seuss from|

Comic and Tragic Plays

[From “Evening Bulletin” for March 23]

A recital of selections from the plays
of Shakespeare wa$ given last Wednesday
evening in Witherspoon Hall. by Samuel
Arthur King, long an actor of the. classic
drama in England and at present lecturer
on diction and the interpretation of Shake-
speare at Bryn Mawr College.

€reating an atmosphere by having the
stage draped with soft grey hangings after
the manner of Walter Hampden, Mr, King
at once. demonstrated. his..utterances.._he
learned in a splendid school of elocution.
He possesses'a magnetic personality, and
a mellow voice of good carrying power and
the lines were read as though they were
his thoughts and sensations, rather than
something committed to memory. His
method. was*the resounding one of the past
with the rhetorical appeal to the intellect



submerged and chastened by the proper} _

émotional-meaning of. each phrase.

‘For those who were familiar with the
scenes enacted, Mr: King’s interpretations
were delightfully illuminatory; equally au-
thoyitative in comedy and’ tragedy. © The
uninitiative found he could rob blank verse
of its terror and stimulate a new interest
in the plays.

The large audience and the applause it

Shakespeare is as potent as ever. when
properly presented.

_Mr. King’s program included:
ingham’s \ Farewell,” Henry VIII; “De-
scription of Queen Mab,’ Romeo and
Juliet; “Clarence’s Dream,” Richard III;
Scene between Shylock, Bassanio and -An-
tonio, The Merchant of Venice; “The

LIBERAL CLUB PRESIDENT PRAISED
BY “BULLETIN” —
(From Philadelphia Bulletin, February 24)

Protection of. students. from so-called
dangerous ideas,’ is decried by Miss Eliza-
beth Vincent, a Junior at Bryn Mawr, who
was one of a delegation of college students
from all over the country who called on
President Harding.on Monday to discuss
limitation of arguments.

Miss Vincent, president of the Liberal
Cluh at Bryn Mawr, and daughter of Dr.
George ‘E.° Vincent, president of ° Rocke-
feller Foundation of New York,, is chair-
man of the Eastern Region of the National
Students’ Committee for the Limitation of
Arguments. She is the only woman to
hold. a regional chairmanship.

She was a speaker at a dinner in Wash-
ington on Monday niglit which followed
the call on the President. In critictsing
the protection of students from new and
radical-ideas, she remarked that —educa-
tion was for the purpose of forming sound
opinion, and. yet sound opinions could only
be formed if students were allowed to
think clearly and have every point of view
impartially presented to ‘them.

Just before the meeting of the Arms
Conference, last fall, Miss Vincent alone

State to present resolutions on the subject
passed by Bryn Mawr students.
She has played a‘large part in the crys-
talization of sentiment on this subject b
college students, and. probably will be a
prominent figure in the national intercol-
legiate’ organization ‘which is to be formed.

MR. HIDEMITSU AGAGI

Illustrating his lecture with a great va-
riety of colored slides, Mr. Hidemitsu
Agagi spoke on the beauties of Japan last
Wednesday evening, in Taylor Hall. Mr.
Agagi,
the World Citizenship Committee is study= |
ing at the University of Pennsylvania.

“Customs, manner and ideas in Japan
are strikingly different from those here,”
said Mr. Agagi in opening, “for instance,
inJapanone_does not shake hands, but
bows coldly, but warmly, and in sewing,
one brings the needle to the. thread to
‘thread it, and then moves the cloth up
-and down, not the needle. But in spite of
the differences,” concluded Mr. Agagi,
“there is a spiritual,oneness of the human
kind, which is illustrated “bythe fact that
a Japanese feels as much pathos in ‘Home
Sweet Home’ gg any American would.”

Mr. Agagi then showed his slides, which
gave a comprehensive view of Japan, show-

home life,- and flowers. “Japan is only
the area of Montana,” he said, “and. all its
scenes, are insular and miniature, like

at the University of Geneva, which was
founded by John Calvin, in 1559.” Since
1892 this school has been. organized under
the. auspices of the University with the
object of providing students of non-
French-speaking countries with the oppor-
turlity of improving their practical knoWl-
edge of the French language. It has been
considered that«the summer. school - thus
developed and situated in Geneva, the seat
of many important international institu-
tions, might appeal particularly to under-
graduates and graduate students of Amer-
ican universities. They might.consider two
summer months spent in Geneva either as
a profitable and pleasant vacation in the
coursé of their college studies, or as an
interesting and useful introduction. to the
advanced study of international relations.

The course of study. is divided into two

parts; the first consisting of courses onthe
French languagé and on literary subjects,
‘the second of historical, political, and eco-
nomic subjects. This year it is intended
to add to the curriculum the study’ of
contemporaneous international affairs.
- The tuition fee for registered students
will_be-$40,...which includes the right to
attend all lectures and meetings of the
groups for the practical knowledge of
French during the full course. It will not
cover the cost of optional trips and ex-
cursions ‘which may. be organized by the
school. Board and lodging, can be: secured
at Geneva at $70 and upwards a month.

Additional information about the sum-
mer school. may be had on application to

Summer. Schoel, University of Geneva,

TRACK BECOMES MINOR SPORT
AFTER HEATED DISCUSSION

Track was reinstated as a minor spott,
counting points towards the ‘athletic cham-
pionship by ‘95-74 votes at a meeting of
the Athletic Association called by petition
in Taylor Hall, on Wednesday. The long
and eager discussion of track made it nec-
essary to postpone the question of givirig
up gymnasium meets counting as class
points until a further meeting.

That a number of people from lower
basket ball-and tennis teams did track~in
preference to one’ of these sports was an
argument used for the reinstatement 2.
the meets.

. To prevent in some measure the. over-
organization of athletics and the abuse of
class spirit the suggestion that no person

petitions during the spring {was made and

‘which took the form of ballads:

B.C. from the suggestion ‘of foot prints
in the mud.”
Chinese prosody,
described at some length, is very compli-
cated, as the language is monosyllabic and
as expression is gained by tone. ‘There
are two tones‘in poetry, the lewel and ‘the
oblique, byt tone in the earlier poetry was
disregarded. The earlier poems had four
words to the line and were arranged in
set patterns which’ became more and more
puzzling as the-art increased: and which
developed lines of from four to seven
words;
tinctive types; a poem of irregular length
with meter and cadence and very similar
to our polyphonic prose., The greatest
Fus, Miss Lowell said, were written in the
sixth century A. D. The Lucias were-the
next type of poem to develop,-they had a
tone pattern hroughout, a rhythm-like En-
glish poetry’s and were sometimes of great
length.

The first piece Miss Lowell read was a
translation from the Tao Yuan Mirz
| period, which taught. harmony with nature
and happiness through the imagination.
She read several other poems, both from
Mrs. Aysceregh’s translation, and from Fir)
Flower Tablets; poems of Li Tai Po, who’
lived in the eighth century and who formed
the society of “The Six Idlers of the Bam-
boo Brook,” and of the “Eighty Mortals

poet of- the few.”
To make the poems more understandable,
Miss Lowell told ‘of China itself, of the
“jade green pass” and “the heaven high
hills,” and of. the’ “western paradise,”
where all hoped to go. “There were many
occasions for poetry and everyone had to
write it, the mayor, the exiles and the
eoncubines.” :
The next lecture on Chinese civiliza-
tion and culture under the auspices.
of the Bryn Mawr Chinesé Scholar-
ship Committee will. take place: at
the “Bellevue, on Friday, March 31,
at 4 o'clock, and will be given by
Professor John Dewey, of Coluimbia
University, on “Chinese Philosophic
and Religious Thought.” _On Thurs-
day, April 6, Mr. Langdon Warner,
director of the Pennsylvania Muse-

The International Students’ Tours dif-
fer in several essential respects from any

their non-commercial character; second, in
their educational and international signifi-
cance; third; in the fact that membership
is. restricted to persons associated with
American colleges and schools, either as
teachers or as students; and fourth, in the
fact that the Students’ Tours have been
granted unsual ‘courtesies by the Govern-

DR. MERRILL DESCRIBES THE
' PERFECT IDEALIST
. ed .
paint Spirit-of. Youth Shows Impatience
at Ordinary Means. *

“Said the cynic, ‘I could have made a
better world than this.’ Said the sage,
‘That is why God put you here.
do it.’ The worst enemies to real progréss,”
said Dr. Merrill, speaking in chapel last
Sunday, “are not its, acknowledged foes,
but the impatient idealists who, dazed by
their ideals, fail to make usepof the imper-
fect objects by: which one may change
them.” sy ,

Dr. Merrill declared that there are two
classes of idealists. ‘The first contains the
men and women whe look at their ideals
as they look at the stars, objects so un-
obtainable that it is useless to struggle
for them. “They see the faults and blem-
ishes of the present, yet they scorn patch-
ing and trimming, and sit idle waiting for
a perfect chance; they flame at the pros-
pects of disarmament to retire disgusted
at-the faults of the fouls of the Washing-
ton Conference.
them, miserable slackers! 3

The second class comprises the people,

‘who believe in the perfect and will not

relinquish their ideal, who ‘refuse to -be
content with things as they are, and con-
sequently take up the-tools at hand and
use them to the best advantage possible.
“The modern spirit of youth, takes up the
bruised reeds and smoking flax, and
throws them aside one by one waiting for
better instruments. We need men and
women who have infinite optimism’ for
things as they are, who never lower their
standard an inch, and still make use of
the imperfect instruments, which man has
to attain the perfect. Progress comes
through comibining invincible idealism with
unlimited hopefulness.”
