DR. SCOTT NEARING LEADS
SWARTHMORE CONFERENCE

o
Cana Better World be Obtained by
Changing System, or Human P
Nature is Issue





SAYS CIVILIZATION IS. DOOMED



*& better world and how to obtain it,”:
was the subject of a conference held at
Saturday and Sunday, to
which the Bryn Mawr -Igperal Club sent
fourteen delegates. Dr. Scott Nearing, who
has taught economics at S ore Col-
lege, University of PennsWvania, and the
Rand School of Social Research, and his
wife, a Bryn Mawr graduate, were the
outstanding figures. The conference was
organized by Rachel Jones, Secretary of
the Young Friends’ Movement, who was
assisted by the Polity Club of Swarthmore
"College. Delegates who were either per-
sonally invited or sent from the Liberal
Clubs of neighboring’ colleges, included
Hindus, workers, college students, college
professors and Quakers. ;

Saturday night the first meeting began
with a vague discussion of what was meant
by a better world. Mr. Vincent Nicholson,
a Quaker lawyer, who served with. the
Friends’ Relief during the war, objected to
the planning .of individual Utopias.. “The
kind of social order where these things”
(that is, the opportunity to everyone to-ex-
press the best things in himself) “are to be
realized is the most pertinent issue,” he said,
and challenged Scott Nearing to explain
his plan for a new world.

All previous talk, said Dr. Nearing, has
been from. an individualistic standpoint,
ignoring the fact that we are not free to
de what -we like. We are playing with the
same forces which Germany’ played with
in 1913. Our struggles are the death-
throes of the Civilization of the Renais-
sance. He proposed to discuss three ques-
tions: What are the penalties we must pay
{or our present order? What will it cost
us to go somewhere else? Where shall we
go? In answer to the first question he said
that we are now paying the pricg.in the
barrenness and slavery of our oe civil

war between labor and capital, and inter-.

national war between competing groups.
The concrete example he gave was Ger-
many, now paying in despair for her sys-
tem of slavery, exploitation, agd imperial-
ism. The cost of going somewhere else
will probably be inefficiency of the indus-
trial order. If we aré prepared it may not
be so bad,-if we are not we may have to
undergo the terrible experiénces of Russia
in the last six years. Nevertheless Russia
is the only country in Europe on the up-
grade.

Where we want to go, said Dr. Nearing,
does not count. We are not our masters,
but are born into a world with all its pat-
terns fixed. We can go along with the
stream or kick against jt. At any rate, we
are through with the period of civilization
based on_the civil «state and private prop-
erty. Froni the gensewe passed to the na-
tion, we must ncuw “ to a world organ-
ization... No-nation. possesses all the art,

FIRST VOCATIONAL SPEAKER
IS MISS DOROTHY STRAUSS

Law Commended as Profession For
College’ Graduates :





Miss Dorothy Strauss, ’08, a practiting
member of the New York bar, spoke in

chapel last Wriday morning on the law

as a.profession for women, especially col-
lege graduates.

This_speech was the first for the Voca-
tional Conference, whose talks this year
will be given in morning chapels, rather
than over week-ends, so that a greater
possible attendatice .may be insured.

At this time, said Miss Strauss, law is
still_a_pioneer_profession for. women... There
ig only a @&mparatively small number. of
lawyers, and an even smaller
group of women judges, *perhaps ten or
twelve in the whole country.

To enter the profession. certain personal
characteristics are necessary. One must
have great spiritual: and intellectual steadi-
ness, for heavy. responsibility is frequently
involved in the work. A store of general
knowledge is required; in fact learning of
any description is useful. Especially ad-
visable are history and science, and above
all a practical” knowledge of English, for
the power to write clearly and well is an
absolute requisite.

For the person who has finished pre-
liminary studying there are two possible
openings in law, two divisions between
which to choose; trial men and the office
men. The first type comprises all those
who try cases, the second, those who do
office and-routine work or who study law.
The line between the two is not so well
defined here as in England, but it exists.
The courts, as yet, are very inefficient,
largely due to the weakness of attorneys.
Miss Strauss feels that college girls, with
their wide knowledge and good background
are needed.

There are many branches in which a
practicing lawyer may specialize, such as
patent law, needing a scientific background,
admiralty law, insurance law. Lawyers of
all kinds are needed. All must have the
ability to discriminate, and pick out im-
portant items and points in a case; having
done this one must look up the law on the
matter. In studying, the mental attitude

is scientific, but the practice of law is dif-]

ferent. The daily activity is exceedingly
varied, and a day’s occurrences may range
all the way from humor to tragedy. Mo-
notony is impossible, and the life is always
interesting. —

’ For a woman who intends to support
herself the question of financial returns is
important. During the first three or four
years it»would be best for her to have sqme
outside means of support, for the gains
at the outset are very small. This is
more true of women than men, since they
have on: the whole less influence. They
aré slowly making their way, however, and
there are great openings for the college
woman, ~She-will-have- the opportunity. for
contact with really vital forces.

DOROTHY LEE IS VARSITY
HOCKEY CAPTAIN FOR
_ NEXT YEAR

oo

The Varsity hockey team elected D. Lee,
'25, captain for next year, last Tuesday.
Miss Lee has played forward on Varsity
for two seasons. She was a member of the

ITALIAN AMBASSADOR TO
SPEAK ON FASCISTI MOVEMENT



Italian Club to Entertain. Prince
Caetani:and Hear Italian Music



(Specially contributed by the Italian Club)
It may be. of no small interest to the

College in general to know that the French

Club.is now rivalled by a recently organized
Italian Club. The Italian Club already
boasts Of ‘seventy-three members, and as
a speaking knowledge of the language: is
not a requisite for membership, it hopes
to welcome still more.

The ‘Italian Club aims to increase the
study of the .Italiar language, Italian lit-
erature, science, and art, and to bring its
members into contact -with members of
associations interested in the interchange
of culture. It moreover undertakes to
furnish .information to people from Bryn
Mawr travelling in Italy. The Italy-Amer-
ica ‘Society and Cenacolo Leonardo da
Vinci have already manifested eagerness
to co-operate with the Club. :

The first important meeting of the Club
is to be held in Taylor Hall,-on February
28th, at eight o’clock. A few selections of
light Italian music, ending with the famous
Giovinessa, will be played. Mr. Liuzzi,
well-known violoncellist, and Professor
Scorduti will be among the musicians. But
this is only to precede a lecture by the
Italian Ambassador, His Excellency Prince
Gelasio Gaetani, on the Fascisti Movement
in Italy. :

Prince Caetani’s career up to Yhe present
has been a full and varied one and” prom-
ises to be so hereafter. Having graduated
from both the University of Rome and the
University of Columbia, he delivered sev-
eral lectures on technical subjects. at Har-
vard, and studied. mining as a worker in
Alaska and Montana. During the war he
was more active than ever, always fighting
in the front ranks. The Croce de Savoia
was awarded to him for the remarkable
capture of Col di Lana. He dug a tunnel
into. the mountain, and with the help of
two others placed a mine directly under the
outposts of the enemy stationed on top of
it. The entire mountain blew up, and in
consequence the Italian force won an over-
whelming victory.

Prince Caetani will speak in English, and
the entire College is invited to hear him.
After the lecture there will be a reception
for him ‘in Rockefeller Hall, so that the
members of the Italian Club who wish to
do so may meet him personally.

VARSITY LOSES IN FAST
GAME, WITH BALTIMORE

Bryn Mawr Players LeadJat First
But Give Way to Strength of :
Opponents in Second Half

FRANCES _ BLISS, STARS





‘oe



Playing fast_ and brilliantly, the Balti-
more team defeated Varsity, 23-18, on Sat-_
urday in a practice basketball game, the .
first of the season. The score brought
glory to Bryn Mawr alifmnae as well as to
Baltimore, for M. Tyler ’19, F. Bliss ’22,
and.k..Marshall.’23 were on-the team.

To the very end of the game the outcome
was doubtful. In the first half"Bryn Mawr
was far in the lead, and, showed greater
skill in passing as well as more organized
team work, The guards played especially —
well, succeeding both in getting and keep-
ing the ball from the tall Baltimore for-
wards, and in passing with judgment to
the centers. When the half ended Bryn
Mawr was well ahead with a score of 12-1.
’ The tactics of both.sides were completely
changed in the ‘second half. For a while
the playing was very wild; both teams
passing and shooting inaccurately. Balti-
more recovered soon, -however, and F.
Bliss, as forward,. netted several clever
shots. The skill of the visiting team in-
creased enormously in speed and accuracy
of aim. Bryn Mawr fought hard, if un-
successfully, and the game was interesting
to the last.

THAYER SKATING CUP WON BY _
EDITH NICHOLS, '26, ON FRIDAY

Edith Nichols, ’26, won the Thayer Cup
offered in the annual competition for figure
skating at the Philadelphia Skating Club
last Friday. Miss Nichols also entered the
Carnival on Saturday night and the Junior
Championship contests held the early part
of this week.

The competition for the Thayer’ Cup in-
cluded two tests; the first of prescribed
figures, and the second a free skating pro-
gram of three. minutes. The figures in-
volved in the first test were an outside
forward figure, an inside forward figure,
an outside back figure and a change of
edge. The award in the figure skating was
made on the correct tracing on the ice,
carriage and form, the size of the figures,
and the accurate covering of previous
traces in triple repetition of the figure.
In the free skating the award was made
on the contents of the program, the diffi-
culty and variety and the manner of
performance.



IN THE NEW BOOK ROOM

Ebony and Ivory, Llewelyn Powys.

This collection of disconnected stories
and reflections, inspired by actual experi-
ence of English country life and African

'sheep farming, makes a book of powerful }.

individuality. Through it a_ personality

holds us that pervades the episodes, the]

people, the scenes described. And yet one
cannot consider the author more impor-
tant than his work. They are too revealing
one of the other, too inter-dependent, to be
thought of separately.

Mr. Powys is a fatalist and an inveterate
pessimist concerning the human race. It.
need hardly be said today that this. does
not constitute his distinction; but the depth
of his conviction, its sincerity, its absolute
freedom from self-consciousness and from
any intention of effect, set him apart. He
spent a great deal of his life in the unusual
surroundings. of British East Africa, where
primitive conditions strip life of all forms

‘a material,

the



and, tradition; and beat back the character

of man, beyond its heritage of , civilization,
to its original ingfincts. The effect. of this
period on his uniqué spirit of intimate com-
munion with nature, of quivering sensitive-
ness and appreciation, explains his simple
philosophy which limits everything within
indifferent, and eternal nature.
The same nature today as. “before ever the

instinctive happiness of this sun drenchedy

moonlit planet was distracted by the subtle
wjt of that escaped brain-mad animal man.”

“At the bottom of the well of life there |

is no hope—the. surface is everything. Be-
low there is -nothing,” he asserts, con-
vinced by: his elemental sense of nature
shorn of spirituality. Conflict between this
sense and his inheritance with mankind of
the traditional hope and faith produced and
absorbed by generations, lies at the bottom
of his cynicism. =

Nature taken for waht she is, without
vain. searching for hidden significance,. is

to him the one. consolation in a soulless,
heartless world of irresponsible creatures,
ruthlessly governed by. a blind fate. - He
tells us in the story of the Brown Satyr
that indifference to the-outcome and. mean-
ing of life. in any chance for present en-
joyment, is the one defense against misery.
This sounds almost Epicurean. Could Mr.
Powys tune his disposition to that phil-
osophy he would become one of its most
convincing and irresistibl® apostles. But
through least resistance or by choice, the
bitterness of despair possesses him, wholly
determining the course of his thought. This
contradition would be negligible if he were
not undertaking to point out a road that
he so evidently fails to follow himself.

Besides revealing a keen personality the
work of Mr. Powys at face value impresses

us as a vivid series of sketches and essays.

written with remarkable ease, keeness, and
force. We receive unforgettable pictures

African life that seem painted with the
c@lors of the jungle itself; of English life
where the author has scraped bare human
nature with the sharpness of a surgeon’s
knife. It is in the nature of the author's
purpose that he should be sometimes brutal,
often painful, but the impersonality of his
violence holds the reader with the subject
on so high a-plane that the method is for-
gotten in the effect produced.

“The Holy .Experiment,” a portfolio
containing copies of the paintings by Vio-
let Oakley in the Capitol at Harrisburg,
has been presented to the Library by Miss
Margaret Scattergood, Bryn Mawr, ’I7,
and has been placed on the table in ‘the
New Book Room.

The paintings executed for the Govern-

or’s Reception Room in the Capitol are
dedicated to the memory of William Penn
and. the Cause of Peace. Their historical
basis is found in the history of religious
liberty in England and the rise of the So-
ciety of Friends, particularly the important
events in the life of William Penn. The
different panels illustrate, among other
events, the condemnation of Anne Askew,
George Fox on the Mount of Vision, Penn

as a student and as a preacher at Oxford,”

his banishment by his father and his im-
prisonment for preaching in violation of
Conventicle Act. In other panels
Penn is shown as inviting all the oppressed
of Europe to join in the building oF 4
Commonwealth dedicated to freedom of
conscience and the signing of the Charter
of Pennsylvania by Charles II. Other

~The portfolio contains copies_ of pages

vately on imported. Italian paper. The

wood Labor College, “That’s awfully hard

world order must be the cessation of po-
litical boundaries, Mr;..Nearing went on.
At this point Dr. Brooks, Professor of Po-
litical Economy at Swarthmore College, in-
terrupted. .Hé objected to the assumption
that civilization is doomed and “the execu-
tion about to take place.” No philosopher
has fathomed the problem of a perfect

cents. He felt that now the captain of
industry was not serving his community
consciously but a large measure of service
eresulted. After vafious answers had been
given, he continued, saying that we do not
know how human nature would react if
the appeal was on the basis of partnership
and production rather than ownership and
use. Mr. Nicholson maintained that the
problem consists in changing human nature,
- a process. which may. take..thousands of
years. Dr. Nearing, however, believed that
it is. easier to change the organization and
thus change human nature. The .way to
get people to do things is to offer them a
high ideal. When we wanted men to fight
we offered them a dollar a day and beans.

An entirely new departure was made by
Mr. Lever, the labor member of. the con-
ference. “We think tlrat in our hands lies
the destiny of the world but we do not
understand things.” Most. people. do not
even go through grammar school,
people hay no other means of living but
selling. their labor-power. If you would
“build a better state give the ordinary. _per-
son a chance and make him think that the

world thinks something of his work. If]

* we do not do this we aré facing oblivion.
Dr. Nearing went on ‘with this point? We

are enslaving people’s minds and living on |

the labor of those who are digging the
foundations out from under us. The men

who run our churches, newspapers, even |

our colleges and ‘schools are deliberately
keeping people in ignorance. The «coming

world order presupposes a system where
everyone will work for a living, but where

Such |.

everyone will do his share of the world’s
dirty. work, In the United States today
there is one-class in. power and 1 oOr-
ganized resistance.

Dr. Nearing later elucidated his idea of
the’ coming order. He explained that the
real center of activity lies‘in the powerful:
industrial « interest, oil; cotton, iron and
‘|}steel, and So on. We must erganize these
industries so that these resources wil? be
handled on.a large ‘scale by a group com:
petent to. do so. These organized indus-
tries will be self- -governing, the heads either
picked by civ service in the case of tech-
nicians or, by popular vote in case of execu-|
tives. We must now organize economically.
The second meeting’ of the conference
took place Sunday afternoon. ‘The sub-
jects for discussion were arranged and
were of practical “application. The first

question brought up was how to make a
living and work for a better world, Dis-

cussion of this centered on three points:
Is income from property right? Should
we perform bread labor, that is, should
each person produce some of what he uses?
Should we take more income than will

swers. Mr. Lever said that the owners are
supply our’ immediate needs? ‘The general
@pinion on the first two points seemed to
be that the solution must depend solely on
the individual. Scott Nearing, however,
maintained that the presence of wealth is
the most disintegrating factor in human
life, destroying character and creating class
distinctions that are false. He holds that
all able-bodied people should be compelled
to do some manual labor each day. Sev-
eral people brought forward the argument
that money you. have not earned can be
used for good purposes to which it would
not be put if you refused to accept it. The
group felt that the last question was too
indefinitely worded for serious discussion,

The second general topic was worded,
how can we best express our determination
for a better world? Can it be done by
working in ‘the labor movement, in the
schools, in. politics, should radicals have
families (and perpetuate the breed, as Dr.
Brooks said); what-can-be done-in the-way
of study and finally shall we try to main-
tain our standards *of respectability? Most





of these questions received the usual an-

Lorder as long as possible.

more class-conscious than the laborers, who

must be organized against their employer.
He invited owners to join the ranks of the
laboring class and work. Scott Nearing
urged organization within the established
He thinks that
everything is against the progressives in
the school system but: “as long as you can
stay with your pupils you have a chance.”
As to respectability, Dr. Nearing said “the
more respectability you have the more you
ca. accomplish, Keep it as long as you
can keep your self-respect, but no longer!
Personal integrity is fundamental.” o

At the end of the meeting Mr. Nicholson
stated the case for the liberals by pleading
for fair-mindedness and tolerance. While
iwo doctors fight over how to cure’a case
of typhoid the patient dies, whereas if they
sit down and listen to each others’ opinions
they can modify the details of their treat-

ment as is wisest and cure the patient. .

Scott Nearing replied in favor of prejudice

cause of a disease, he shows no tolerance
in destroying it. With this fundamental
difference in attitude the conference closed.

‘LIGHT BLUE VICTORIOUS IN

SECOND PRELIMINARY GAME

Juniors Lack Unity and Yield to
Persistence and Speed



A thrilling and hard fought contest last
Thursday’ night resulted in a, 4-3 victory
ovér 1925 for 1924’s first water polo team.
The first game was won by. the Juniors.

The poor aim of -both teams lost them
many opportunities, and complicated short
passes down the pool: ended almost in-

variably in long shots back from the goal.

1925, especially, dribbled well, and repeat-
edly reached the goal unguarded, and yet
failed to. score. They lacke@ the unity .and
good -judgment which gave them the vic-

tory in the first game.

In thé second half both teams were ob-
viously-tired—out,;-and--the-play-was-slower
and desperately tenacious, fighting against
time. CC. Remak, ’25, defended the goal

remarkably well against the constant at-.

tacks of the Seniors, and K. Elston, ’24,
played a_speedy. and intelligent game as
forward

SECOND TEAMS



1924 vs. 1925



The Seniors turned last week’s defeat
into.a victory ‘of 6-1 over the Junior sec-
ond team last Friday night.

Starting with a rush, Light Blue played
a,strong offensive game, E. Sullivan, ’24,
getting the ball almost gyvery time and
throwing it to F. Begg, ’ Sho passed it
accurately to her fopwarde. M. Cooke,
24, was quick to receive passes and score
against her opponents, in spite of their very
good defensive work.. K. Conner, °24,
made the goal almost impregnable to well-
directed attack of M. Eberbach, ’25. The
decisive game of the preliminaries remains
to be played, both teams having won’ once.

The line-up was:

1924: E. Sullivan, M. Cooke, O. Foun-
tain, F. Begg, C. Lewis, M. Woodworth,
K. Conner. Substitutions. M. Minott for
C. Lewis. ‘

Strong attacks and well-aimed throws].

enabled the Sophomore second water polo
team to defeat the Freshman, 6-0, in the
first game of -the ‘series last Tuesday night.

During the first half the Sophomores

-- scored through the fault of their opponents

rather than by good playing. M. Smith,
‘27, in the goal stopped a great many of
the balls shot by the Dark Blue forwards.

Grove Thomas, '26, was the ceuter of
well-planned attacks of the second: half.
She made a number of clean goals, evading
all opposition. The Freshman forwards

* failed to swim far enough down the pool

and were never in place to receive the ball
when sent to them.

Sophomores, 3-1, in the second game of the
preliminaries played last Friday night.

During the whole game there was wild
shooting and fouling. The Freshmen, wh:
had the best team play, relied on the sure
shots of E. Brodie. M. Tatnall, '26, fought
hard on the defensive and V. Cooke, ’26,
played. well’ on her forward line.

The Sophomore first team entered the
water polo finals tast Thursday night after
defeating 1927 a second time, with a score
of 4-2 in a fierce and close fought struggle.

Team work and training more than any
individual play enabled the Sophomores to’
win. 1927 put up a determined fight, but —
one without co-ordination, and with more
fierce personal tussles than effective team
play. They often left their goal unguarded,
enabling the Sophomore forwards to score.

DR. TAYLOR, OF QUEEN’S
COLLEGE, SPEAKS IN CHAPEL

os

Feeling of “Unrest in Modern Life
Stressed by Speaker



Taking for his text the verse from Jere-
miah, “My people have been lost sheep—
they have forgotten their resting place,”
the\ Reverend R. Bruce Taylor, President
of Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario,
spoke in Chapel on Sunday evening.

As in olden times the Hebrew shepherds
led their flocks to the same resting places,
the same fountains, for generation after
generation, so man since time immemorial
has had favorite and chosen resting places,
said Reverend Taylor.. In the restlessness
characteristic of our time, however, we are
forgetting some of these places. We have
little time for quiet reading’ and thought
or for real home life. The whole world
calls to us and we long to travel indefi-
nitely: Philosophers like Lamb and other
men of an earlier generation no longer
exist, for activity is our aim in life. As
a result of these unquiet ways, lasting and
true friendships and the resultant charm-
ing letters are disappearing; our friends
are made in clubs or at dinners and as a
rule are superficial companions only.

The same uncertainty and lack of repose
is found in church life and doctrines.
Men do not know what they believe. We
must go back to the old resting places to
find happiness, to the fountain-heads of
sincerity and truth.
