‘M. ESTEVE TELLS OF |

BYRON 5 INFLUENCE

Byron, Bitter, Satiric, Wayward,
Grand, and Sometimes Wretched,
Rules in Studio and Salon

BYRONISM LASTS FIVE YEARS

“‘Byron wevealed the men of his time
to themselves, and not humanity to itself
for all tine’, said M. Edmond Estéve,
professor of French - Literature at the



~ University of Naticy, spexigng under the

auspices of the French Club in Rockefeller
Hall last Saturday night.

The Bonaparte of the literature of his
day, his reputation grew steadily from
1812, the date of the publication of Childe
Harold, ‘the English poet grew in France,
in Spite of the wars. A translation came
out in 1816, Byron met Mme. de Stael,
Chateaubriand, possibly Lamartine. The
influence of the man, which Michelet. felt
like a “liquer forte,” was especially strong
among the younge? generation, and among
women, One lady wrote, “J’ai vu Lord
Byron. Je voudrais étre jeune et belle.”
Daily he gained ground among the distin-
guished litterati of the Restoration.

Scandal surrounded his name, his own
writing suggested all kinds of suspicions.
On the boulevards, in the newspapers, at
the theatre, he was an alluring and familiar
figure, who came to exercise a sort of
literary empire in France.

By his career and writing he shocked
and satisfied both the classicists, who
were political liberals, and the romanti-
cists, who. were conservative politically.
His-sacrifice for Gréece was the finishing
touch.
Discussed everywhere, Byron was cop-
ied in writing, in career, in subject mat-
ter. His influence was carried ,even into
the plastic arts, pale

Young France, disagreeing in idea, but
one in the intensity of ‘their feeling, and

their tple of fate- hunted Byron gnawed
by passion. There was mor littefature
frénetique” and not a sign .of modera-
tion. In the salons too there was emo-
tion, drawn from the disillusionment ‘of
Childe Harolde and ‘the cynical nature
of Don Juan. - Social lions, a la Byron,
black of “brow and small of hand, walked
always on the edge of fatality. -Musset,
the spoiled darling of romantic circles,
was thought fit_to be called “le frére de
Byron,”

A reaction set in isis five years of this
Byron worship, Some laughed at him;
some,’in the interests of moral and philo-
sophic poetry, looked askance. There
were “Byroniens du dernier heure’—

Byron did not create. romanticism—

his ascent, which was of some note in the
prose and drama of the day, but most

| GLEE. CLUB TO GIVE OPERETTA:
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY EVENINGS



Gilbett and Sullivan’s “Pirates of
Penzance”’ Will be via



“A rollicking band of pirates, we,” one
of the songs of the famious pirates in “The
Pirates of Penzance,” strikes the temper
of the whole operetta. “The Pirates of
Penzance” will be given by the Glee Club
in Roberts Hall, Haverford College, on
Friday, May first, and Saturday, May
second, at 8 P. M.e

~Gilbert~and Sullivan; the gutters are
at their best here, writing in their char-
acteristic, mock- -serious vein—gentlemen
writing for their own amusement.
Sprightly maidens, rollicking pirates and
blustering policemen lend more than a
picturesque atmosphere and a gay-col-
ored, animated background to the main
plot. While they quarrel and make love
among themselves, the principals engage
in am intrigue offering all the allurements
of amusing situations, conflict, mystery,
and romance. The lines are a delight in
themselves, and the songs are nothing if
not “catchy.”

Th® noble-minded hero, Frederic, falls
in love with Mabel at sight. He is, how-
ever, a captive of the pirates. Now
Mabel’s father but it would be
wiser to let the performances of Friday
and Saturday nights divulge the rest.

DARK BLUE WINS THE FIRST
ROUND OF TENNIS FINALS

Senne.

Caris Denison 96, Gains Two Matches
-. With Her Brilliant Game

SEER



The first two teams of 1926, the four

teams of 1927 and the two-last teams of
1928 reached the finals of the tennis tour-
nament,, ° & .

In’ the first-round of the finals, 1926’s
first team was victorious, winning three
out of the five matches played. .

Beattice Pitney defeated D, O’Shea,
"26, in a very good match. The aie
forehand drive of B. Pitney, not ~
evidence in the beginning, when ce
point. was hotly contested and first one
won a game and then the other, stood her
in good stead at the end, when she played
to win-with sure strong strokes.

Playing with very pretty form, C. Deni-
son, ’26, subbing for W. Dodd, ’26, de-
feated first M. L. Jones, '27, whose steady
defensive e€ was no match for the
brilliant shots of her opponent, and then
‘D. Kellogg, ’27, who also was powerless
-tefore —the
strength-of C. Den: son, 2 es

Defeating F, Jay, 26, M. Kennedy, ’27,
played a short, not powerful, but infallibly
steady game. She covered the court
amazingly and seldom missed a shot, al-
though when she did so she sent the balls
in the net with a choppy stroke.

SUNG BY FOLKLORE COLLECTOR

Rollicking Ballads of Old Trails Show
Vigoroug Spirit of Cowboy





“Oh, roll your tails, ahd roll ’em high,
We'll all be angels by and by.”

So Sang an irreverent cowboy to the
rhythm of his tsotting pony, as he drove
a herd of long horns up the long trail from
Texas to Montana. His ditty is one ex-
ample of the extensive and varied group
of cowboy ballads, originating * ‘in
long, -lonely months on the prairie trail,
handed on from one cowboy to another,
and now collected and published by Mr.
John A. Lomax, ‘of the University of
Texas. Mr. Lomax was formerly Sheldon
fellow for the investigation of American
Ballads, and twice president of the Ameri-
ean Folklore Society. In his “Songs of
the Cowboy,” a lecture in Taylor Hall
on Friday, April 24, he described vividly
the origin and. character of these quaint,
jolly relics of a swiftly passing American
type. . .

When he wandered through the West
to collect old songs, ‘Mr. ‘Lomax found
only rude manuscripts, Texas students’
scrapbooks, and the memories of ex-cow-
boys, to help him in gathering the cow
lullabies, the tales . of wandering, the
melancholy complaints and the rollicking
nonsense with, which horse wranglers and
cowpunchers entertained themselves and
kept théir herd peaceful,

As the cowboys rounded up the rear,
they blandly assured the young cattle,
“Git along, git along, git along, little

doges,
You goin’ to be beef stew by and by.”
Sometimes in their weariness they sang
bitterly, :
“How happy I am when I go to bed—
A rattlesnake hisses a tune in my head;
A gay little centipede, all without fear,
Crawls over my pillow and into my ear.’

Undergraduates Aid Endowment Drive
Through Useful Agencies



Pinnnvial perspicacity is becoming a
prominent trait of the Bryn Mawr. under-
graduate. Food and amusement, the res-
taurant and the theatre, recognized aids
to wealth, are supplied to the campus for:
the ‘benefit of the Music and ‘Auditorium
Drive. The School for Scandal and
especially the morning sandwich satisfy
certain strong human desires. Witness
the wolvish hordes crouching over the
bread boxes on Taylor steps, while the air
vibrates with hoarse cries of “One to-
mato!” or “two eggs!”

Perhaps one of the greatest sacrifices
for the Endowment is the mute acqui-
escence of the Traditionalists (our own
type: of Fundamentalists, believing in the
divine inspiration of Tradition), to the
desecration of SeniorSteps, upon which
any Freshman or Sophomore nowadays
may drip her Russian Dressing in “the
cause of the Students’ Building,

An illustration of the modern tendency
to Ree ag taht in business is the Lomas-
Lee-Saunders Bicycle Company, head-
quarters under Pembroke Arch, which,
for a small sum, makes trips to the village
easy and rapid. And all for the good of

the ‘Drive!

DR. FOSDICK SPEAKS
ON PRACTICAL RELIGION

Start From ‘Wiens You Are;
Build Character by Contact with
the Best and Reliance on Faith

—_-

SUBSCRIBE TO NO _ CREEDS

‘“The world has reached its A in
sisted Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick,
sofar as it is attempting to solve
problems; from-the-outsidein-”How-
change its method of approach was the
subject of his talk last Wednesday eve- .
ning in the gymnasium, under the aus-
pices of the Christian Association.

‘Moral autonomy, the capacity of the
citizen to run himself from within, is the
real foundation of the State, the ultimate
hope of society. The legalists would sitb-
stitute for this a complex system of laws,
which are, of course, good, and important
in the present state of civilization, but
their danger lies in: their being used as
a crutch, and leaned heavily upon. Many
think that people can be made good by
law, but the refutation of that seems to
lie in Mark Twain's statement, “Honor
is a harder master than the law.”

America has two great needs, real edu--
cation and real religion. Both are neg-
lected, perhaps the latter m6ére. In the
eighteenth century the approach from
inside out wa really stressed, This is
rather otherworldly and not essentially
attractive to us—we Yhink we can escape



.the problem by disregarding it, but con-

sideration shows that this is impossible,
The division between religion and physi-
cal science must be considered in the light
of comparative necessity. According to
Dr. Fosdick, the world could well man-
age to-get along with the present scientific
achievements and no more, but it would
be impossible to go forward with the
present inadequate solution of the prob-
lems of the spirit.

Christianity seems to offer jaw contri-
butions at least, to help in the solution.
In the first place, Christianity at its best,
looks at humanify in terms of potential-
ity. It was particularly noticeable in

dences of deterioration in people like
Mary Magdalene and Nicodemus, and
found their real selves worthy of his at-
tention. This was not unreasoning sym-
pathy, or kindness, but a true insight,
the very ‘sort of insight which Browning
displayed in “finding inside the covers of

-a yellowed pamphlet the story for one of

his great works, The Ring and the Book,
It seents almost inevitably true that the
best minds see the most possibilities,

The beginning of character-building is
to introspect as if Jesus were Himself
looking at you—for He would see you
as more than you are, more’ than you
have, and more than youw-have done. To
Him you would be worth, what you -have
it in you to become,

A second function of Christianity is to
furnish faith. To Dr.. Fosdick, faith is the
moral dynamic which unifies and organ-
izes life. This meaning is coincident with
that of the New Testament—if we are to
consider it chronologically. ' This does
not mean faith in the New Testament, or
faith in the church or creeds, for it ante--
dated. them. It was a personal committ- -
ment; they had fallen’ in love with Jesus,
“Faith is.the giving yourself to the best
that is in you” and therefore an intellec-
tual process. Fear, the antithesis of faith,
paralyzes, depresses, narrows, sickens and
saddens _ life, and faith does the exact
opposite.

FOUR WAYS OF FORMING
CHRISTIAN CHARACTER



CONTINUED FROM PAGE, 1

An essential’ for arriving at Christian
character is most of all the starting place
—let it be where we are. ‘Time is wasted,
nothing is accomplished by attempting to
grasp, for instance, the whole of the Chris-
Jesus had no system to foist
upon people, no theologicalmold—into
which to pour them; He approached each
through.channels which were familiar to
that person. To have a Christian char-
acter is not necessarily to agree with any-
one about what he finds in Christ. The
important thing is “what you yourself
find in Him. Finished creeds express
perfected experience, but are not neces-
sary, not possible for a beginning. Chris-
tianity is an adventure’ which each must
try for himself. _Creeds misrepresent
Christianity, and so discourage prospec-

tian faith,

-tive-Christians; bur’ vital Christianity does

not rest on creeds. I

The fourth precept is-a law; you grow
like what you live with. You can be-
come nothing by willing it, least of all
a Christlike character. Imagination
triumphs over will every time in the moral
and physical world—if one lives under the
spell af evil, even though one’s traditions
are opposed to any expression of it, and
one sets one’s will against any display of
it, imagination will force one’s reserve

to break down. >, ‘

Dr. Fosdick was opposed to intellec-
tual skepticism insofar as it lacked moral
earnestness, which he felt essential to
satisfactory solution of problems
which beset us.

C. HARDY, ’26, VICE-PRESIDENT

SONGS OF THE COWBOYS



DESCRIBED AND ILLUSTRATED! |



' CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.

“Oh, bury menot on the lone prairie,

Where the wild-eyed coyote will. howl’
over me, —
And the buffalo roams, and the wind

roars free,

Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie.”
Yet they often express their“ devotion to
a life of wandering, and could not leave it
if they would.
“VIL cut my *way where the bullets fly,
And stay on the trail till the day [ die,”
“T don’t want no harps nor halos, ,

Nor other dressed up things,
Just let. me ride the starry ranges

On a pinto horse with wings.”

Two very long and very jolly ballads, .
giving us an idea of cowboy life, tell of
an expert rider’s first hair-raising ex-
perience with a “gol-darned wheel,” an®
of a religious debate carried on with fists.
After one wallop, the skeptic confessed
himself convinced of the divinity of
Christ; after two, he changed ‘his views
on-the—reality—of Hell;—after—three, the

bottle was passed, and peace was
restored.
Two of the cow lullabies Mr. Lomax

sang spiritedly, rémarking that whatever
the deficiencies of his voice, he at least
sang as well as some cowboys he had
heard. During the choruses, the audience
joined in vigorously, obeying his cheerful
request,

ale you can’t sing, at least make a joy-
ful noise,’

Their Odd Costumes and Customs
Distinguish Orient From West



TUDENTS from all parts of Asia as-
semble each April in Tokyo ¢o attend
the Universities for which Japan is famous.

the evidences of culture and wealth which
After graduation, }
they return home with a liberal education
and the ambition to do things in a big, pro-
gressive way, as Tokyo does.
Examinations are held once a year in

most departments of the Imperial University |

of Tokyo, although medical students have
fwo examinations in their four-year
course, A campus saying is that the best stu-
dents begin preparing for their examination
with the pine and bamboo, the second best

with the cherry blossoms. The pine ahd
bamboo are used as New Year’s decorations,
while the blossoms of the plum and cherry
appear respectively in mid-February and in
April. i
There are’ no Greek letter social fraterni-
ties in Japan. Kraternity house life therefore
is unknown. In its place there are some
clubs of small groups of students. For in-
stance, the students of one prefecture or
county sometimes live in one house. There
are other groups of students who live in
certain boarding houses ‘at a lower cost, be-
cause former student boarders in those
houses have created an endowment fund as
food subsidy to selected congenial souls.
There is only one large dormitory at the
Imperial University in Tokyo and that is
the one of the American Young Men’s
Christian Association, and occupies a for-
eign-style building. Virtually all other stu-
dent lodgings are supplied by the typical

doors and windows



made of glazed paper.

There are, from twenty to forty rooms in
these boarding houses,

A. lasge proportion: of these * boarding
houses are within easy walking distance of
the university and students take their tifflins
there as well as theis other meals. Many
students, however, live with their parents,
with relatives or-in boarding houses in dis-
tant parts of the city and come to school on
the trams. Few come to school regularly in
rikishas because of the expense involved:

With their note books, many ¢arty their
lunches in a wooden or’metal box. At noon,
these students assemble in meeting rooms at
the university. Here they are supplied free
with tea and chopsticks. This is the full ex-
tent to which the commons go there. In
Japan, tea is as plentiful as ice water ‘in
America. For those living at a distance who
do not bring Tunches, “there: is plenty of op-

portunity for getting tasty food at theeres-

taurants which ar. fgfind at the rate of
from one to three to the block in the imme-
diate neighborhood of, the school.

A mortad board top distinguishes the
black cap of the: Japanese student. In other
respects the cap has a military swing. New
students have new caps, but the veterans are
proud of their old caps, looking on them
with respect, just as Uncle Joe Cannon clings
to the rakish black hat he- has worn these
last five years.

One row-of five brass buttons decorates
the front of the black uniform. On each
button is the Chinese character “‘Dai”: sur-
rounded by a wreath of cherry blossoms.
The “Dai” stands for “Saigaku” meaning
“university,” and the students are inordi-
nately proud of these buttons, Wearing of
these uniforms is compulsory only on a few
formal occasions. However, a great propor-
tion of the students wear them out of prefer-
ence year in and year out, as they like to be
known as college men, when they go about
town. A minority of the students attend
class in kimonas, although almost no labor-
atory work is done in the national dress,
because of the inconvenience of the great
sleeves.

isseén Often, but in the College of Medi-
cine seldom.

French lessons in the College of Litera-
ture begin at séven in. the morning, as they
are taken by Students from¢several of the
colleges. Most courses, however, lfave the
first lecture hour at 8 o’clock, Between lec-
tures the students study in the general li-
brary, on the campus, or at nearby lodgings,
or: else play tennis. Saturday is a half holi-
day, Sunday being the only full-holiday.

Saturday is the night off ‘for most stu-
dents. This is the evening on which they
may take in the-city. The restaurants on
the main street or in the neighborhood of
Asakusa Park offer a pleasant break in the
week’s routine. At the street door, shoes
come off and the students climb in their
stiff cotton socks to the second floor, where
the restaurant encircles a small garden or
court. _ :

The gayest of all times for the student, as
for the Japanese nation, comes at New
Year’s and in the, cherry blossom season.
The first comes before examinations haunt
the conscience. The fruitless cherry trees,
when in bloom, make all nature gay, al-
though the air is hazy and the sun seldom
shines. brilliantly. Everyone. is in a holiday
mood. The youths, with gaily colored hand-
kerchiefs worn about their heads run, jump

and romp with the joy of Wiving. Wearing}
kimonas, they may even indulge in a little}

sake, or Japanese brandy, without encourag-
ing the displeasure of sword-clicking gen-
darmes in the way -they would if wearing
their uniforms bearing the magic word
2 Dai.”

The Sumida River flows through Tokyo
and into it empty many boat-laden canals.
In a stretch of the Sumida overlooked by the
wrestlers’ pavilion and not .far, distant from
the Imperial University, the boat races are
held. The different colleges in the various
universities have boats entered in the school
race, which is: one of the big events of the
cherry blossom season. The race is watched
from boats or from the tea houses which
line the banks.

bara’s Inn, for instaric¢, A few minutes
before the freshmen arrive, a group of
sophomores enter and ask to be served. They
tell the waitresses that they are of higher
station than the other diners, and that they
should, be ” completely served before the
freshmen have a bite. It takes a long time
for the sophomores-to eat and so they haze
the freshmen™ without speaking~a~ word” to”
them or laying hands on them. Of course
the inn owner is in on the game. Suppose
the freshmen singyto while away the time
before dinner. The sophomores drown them
out by singing out of,tune or giving yells.



After one of these eveniigs, the freshmen
may be out of hurpor, but they have no phy-
sical disabilities to\show for their hazing.
With the rapid growth of co-educational
colleges in America, the question may be on
some minds as to’ whether the same trent
exists in Japan. There ate some women
who attend,“the Imperial University in
Tokyo, bug they virtually all do so as hegr-
ers, not a$ enrolled students.™ They attend
classes and take notes, but are not entitled
to take the examinations, They are. chiefly
in the College of Law arid of Literature.
The Imperial University at Sendai has
graduated two women students, one of them,
Miss Umeko Tange, who. specialized in
chemistry, is now studying in New York
City for her Ph. D.
Girls do not enter much into the life of
university students outside class hours. True,
young women sometimes are in the audi-

Yences at concerts and evening léctiirés given

at the University, But calls upon young
women in the evenings and on Sundays are
almost unknown. ‘This is‘true also of strolls
in the parks. When the men students stroll,
they stroll together. Dancing with men and
women as partners is almost unknown in
Japan outside the cosmopolitan hotels and
clubs chiefly frequented by tuxedoed Britons
and ambition-soaring Americans, who think
they are sitting on top of the world. At
dinner young men and women are seldom
together, #

Judo, as ju jitsw is called in Japan, is one
of the chief forms of manly exercises taught
at the university. In the judo hall will be
seen students clad in padded gymnasium
suits and with bare feet. With right hand
grasping the front fold of the coat and right
instep pressed against the ankle of an oppo-
nent, the agreessor downs his opponent with
one of the first leverage lessons taught in
judo. News accounts state that Mayor Goto
of. Tokyo recently has named one of the
greatest judo experts in Japan as his body-
guard, because of threats against his life
which he has received.

Fencing, with bamboo rods as swords,
also is a favorite sport as it takes great. skill
of hand and eye to be successful in these
duels. Fencing is intimately associated with
student life in Japan and an expert fencer
enjoys high respect from his fellow-students.

All field games dre played, Discus throw-
ing and jumping, sprinting and pole vaulting
have a part on all field day programs.
Japanese youths excel also at marathons and
cross-country runs. Baseball is catching on
rapidly, owing largely to-the-winter~ visits:
of American professional baseball players.
Each university has its soccer football team

‘This year the round balthas-been-superseded~

by the oval-shaped pigskin, But it is in ten-
nis that the average student finds greatest

delight, for he can fill jn an: hour between

classes with a swift game and continue tlie
day with reawakened energy.

CAMPS OFFER POSITION TO
ATHLETIC SENIORS

(Spécially contributed by C. Platt, ’27)

The Y. W. C. A. of Philadelphia is
‘for recreation workers in two
camps this summer, for which position
seniors and juniors would be liked. One
assistant recreation leader is wanted for
Camp Wheelen, which is on the Jersey
coast near Beach ‘Haven, from July first
to August first. She ought to be able to
swim, play tennis, lead singing, if possible
play the piano, and especially be good at
leading games. Her work would be
chiefly with younger girls.

The Other recreation»leader would be
at Camp Arcola,‘ not far from Valley
Forge, from the middle of July to the
first of September. Her requirements
would be about the same as for the other
camp, with the addition that she should
kiiow how to-row.

No salary is paid these workers, but
their expénses to and. from Philadelphia
are paid, also board during their stay.
The. work is extremely interesting to any- |_
one interested in young. people, camp life,
and gaining experience. Will those in-
terested please sign on the paper posted
on the C, A. Ava board, or speak to
Carol Platt,

TENNIS FINALS



CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Eleanor Musselman, who played stead-
good even form, succeeded in
defeating D.’ Kellogg, ’27, who seemed
rattled and a little off her game.

1927 ‘eliminated 1925 in the preliminary
matches.

In the third, and? last round ‘of matches
between the two odd classes B/ Pitney,
27, defeated C. Remak, ’25, with a score
of 6-2, 5-7, 6-2. Both players improved
throughout the game, from the first set,
safe and steady, to the last spectacular
one, in which ‘B. Pitney played a centre
court game with a speedy, strong-hand
drive, and remarkable skill in catching
difficult balls, C, Remak’s_ sérye and
reach wéwe improved. “6g é

In a slow game Of long drives, défensive
on both sides, M. Brown, :'25, defeated
M. Hand, ’27, 6-2, 6-2. M. Brown’s serves
“were more dependable and her returns
faster and steadier.

With steady, unspectacular playing, and
a knowledge of the weaknesses of her
opponent, H. Hermann, ’25, downed D.



Kellogg, '27, 6-3, 0-6, 6-2. The sudden
change of score in the second set was
due to D. Kéllogg’s great improvement:
in serve and increase in pep.
