At the recent meeting of the Athletic
Association another instance of Bryn
Mawr’s unquestioned acceptance of sense-
less laws appeared, when it was voted to
make the second Senior member of the
Board Vice-President of the Association.
In the past the second Senior member has
‘been Indoor Manager only, while the
Sophomore member has been Vice-Presi-
dent as well as Treasurer. Although this
has not to our knowledge led to any seri-
ous consequences so far, it might easily
do so if the President were ill or away
when important matters arose and the
Sophomore member became swamped in
responsibilities which she could not be
expected to meet. One is tempted, as one
always is when a mistake has suddenly
been discovered and righted, to ask how
such a mistake ever occurred. It is to be
hoped that this is a sign of the dawn of
an era of common sense at Bryn Mawr
when the idolatry of tradition will no
longer hold us in its deadening power.

DR. SCHENK DISCUSSES ATTEND-

ANCE AT CLASSES.



Dr. Eunice Schenk ’07, Dean-elect of the
College, was the guest at a luncheon given
by the New York Bryn Mawr Club on
April 26th, where she spoke on the “Field
of Student Control in College Govern-
ment”. In referring to the question of
attendance at classes, she said: “The sys-
tem now in operation leaves the regula-
tion of attendance in the hands of the
faculty where it has always been at Bryn
Mawr, and where as an academic matter
I believe it should be. Each instructor is
at liberty to handle the matter as seems
best to him. At the same time the active
codperation of the student body exists.

The splendid attitude of the students,
when brought face to face with a cut rule,
persuaded the faculty to make this experi-
ment which provides a minimum of regu-
lation and is therefore dependent for its
success upon a strong public sentiment
against cutting. It is impossible to judge
the system by the statistics of only one
semester, but the evident satisfaction felt
by both faculty and students with regard
to the new arrangement leads one to hope
that it will work out effectively”.

MR. LEO STEIN DISCUSSES
PAINTING THEORY



As Both Artist and Philosopher



Modern painting was the subject of Mr.
Leo Stein’s lecture in Taylor Hall last
Friday evening. Mr. Stein is an Ameri-
can, a Harvard man, who has spent many
years studying abroad in Paris and Italy.
He has served his time in the studios,
and looks at art from the point of view of
the professional painter as well as that of
the philosopher.

On Friday evening he began his talk by
reading a paper on aesthetics and the
relation of art to life. He traced the pur-
pose of art from the Renaissance, show-
ing how it had come from pure illustra-
tion and the expression of things seen, to
the desire, so present in modern painting,
to create.



est painter for sheer painting since
Rubens, and suggested Picasso as the
Raphael of to-day. “The chief difference
between Raphael and Picasso”, he said,
“is that Raphael painted illustration, at a
time when illustration was wanted,
whereas Picasso has come when it no
longer satisfies people’s needs”.

Cubism Result of Metaphysics

“The idea suddenly occurred to paint-
ers”, explained Mr. Stein,
the fourth dimension because of the sense
of freedom it afforded them”. The
speaker confessed his inability to see the
significance of cubist art, and said that
it is beginning to die out. “Painters”, he
said, “are just reaching that point of ab-
straction passed long since by people in-
terested in philosophy, but they are be-
ginning to admit that a little more con-
creteness cannot harm their art; painting
metaphysics is painting nothing. These
painters only see their own pictures, for
one cubist can no more understand an-
other cubist than you or I. This move-
ment, therefore”; he concluded, —“‘is—in-
teresting not so much from the point of
view of art, but rather as a social phe-
nomenon”.

EVERY TRUNCHER IN THE TRENCH



Trunch, a small English village, has
sent all of its men—65 out of a population
of 300—to the front. This is said to be
a higher percentage than that of any
other towns in Great Britain.
