at a meeting of the Self-Government
Association on Monday, November 23,
-when Miss Jay, president of the associa-
tion, announced that the resolution had
been. approved,

Agitation for a change in the rule, early
in the Fall, and recognition that smoking
was rapidly being accepted as a_ social
convention led the Board to sound stu-
dent opinion. Questionnaires circulated
among the undergraduates resulted in 321
votes for, and 46 votes against a new and
less rigid rule. - ;

With these results, Bryn, Mawr felt
qualified to call an informal meeting of
the Self-Government’ Association presi-
dents of five Eastern colleges, Vassar,

Bryn Mawr. The discussion centered
around a plan which Vassar has had in

operation since last Spring, and which left.

courtesy and loyalty to her college.
While all arrangements were only tenta-
tive, it was felt that the. first step must
be taken in concert, and the other colleges
were willing to follow along thg lines set
down by Vassar.

The operation of this rule did not sat-
isfy the Bryn Mawr Board, which recog-
nized as its need a definite rule in the
same spirit of its old one, but eliminating
as far as possible the restrictions which
seemed obsolete.

Rastern coast was the only part developed ;
the rest was primeval. Even now, how-
ever, the great strip of desert and moun-
tains beyond the corn fields may be termed
“large, unconscious scenery.” “As one
views this landscape from the train,” con-
tinued Dr. Sperry, “where the sage bushes
look like ghosts of green things and the

“In religion, the same question is often
asked: What use is the infinite? What use
is God? The book of Job starts: with the
axiom that God-is useful. This amounts
to the prevalent idea that religion is use-

long life. Job, however, had discovered this
to’ be wrong, for he was a good man yet
everything had turned out wrong for him.
Job is on the point of becoming agnostic,
of thinking that God and religion are wrong,
when something comes and asks him to
answer a question, to. give his answer con-
cerning the riddle of life. “There is no
solution. in Job to the problem of evil,” said
Dr. Sperry, “there is merely an attack on
the premise of religion.” é

SWARTHMORE LOSES TO BRYN
MAWR VARSITY BY 3 TO 0

Enthusiastic Audience Braves Cold To
See Bryn Mawr Win

In spite of the 3-0 victory for Bryn
Mawr, the Varsity team was not playing
up to par in their match with Swarth-
more on Monday, November 23. Due to
the biting cold the playing was necessarily
fast. B. Loines, ’28, started the scoring,
after a 1@ng run down the field, by a neat
goal. *V. Cooke, ’26, did the best wb
on the Bryn Mawr back line, which as
a whole was not very strong. The
Swarthmore forwards, especially M. Wal-
tin, were extremely quick at passing, ees
too slow at shooting.

/®lost of the second half was played’ in
semi-darkness, which hindered the accu-
racy of both teams. C. Parker, 29, did
some fast playing and D. Lee, ’26, dodged
cleverly but, as in the first half, B. Loines,
*98, was the most active member on the
forward line. Too many long, aimless
passes cut down on Bryn Mawr's effi-
ciency. The line-up was as follows:

Varsity: B. Loines, '28**; D. Lee (cap-
tain), ’26*; E. Winchester, '27; F. Jay,

sors, in which compound there. are com-
plex shifting elements, but there is a
continuity of tradition, something that

possibility of our being confused with
Vassar or Smith, Tradition demands its
representative, its constant, to bring into

associations this may be an intangible

tainly Miss Park. It is she hom the

“Each one of us had a sense of commu-

“OH, TO BE IN ENGLAND”
Speaking of hour-glass waists, short
skirts, boyish bobs and other ‘“monstrosi-
ties of female invention,” our attention has
been quite,violently called to certain mas-
culine apparitions known as - Oxford
“bags.” Or is it Cambridge?

According to latest reports, the birthplace
of these trailing clouds of glory has been
transferred with touching generosity from
the banks of the Thames to those of the
Cam. What folly on Oxford’s part to dis-
claim the distinction of these masterpieces!

But perhaps the poetic side of Cam-
bridge affords a more fitting background
for these free and easy lyrics in cloth. A
poetic nature always appreciates the
rcharm of the infinite, the voluminous
sweep and roll: of the indefinite. But if
these so-called “bags” resemble poetry in

them, as of poetry, that: they are better
heard than seen. In fact, we are inclined
to agree with Ben Jonson that “Nothing

BOOK REVIEW

Knock—ou Le Triomphe de la Medecine,
by Jules Romains; Librairie Gallimard.
M. Romains may, if he likes, call his play
“Knock.” That’s the name of the hero,
or, more accurately, of the central figure.

But “le Triomphe de a 2 Medecine r In
}-thiscareer_of-a-charlatanin-a_ small Swiss,
canton, “la lumiere medicale” is eae to
dazzle without giving a single ray of light.
Knock brings all the discoveries. of his sci-
ence into play, and terrifies patients into
submission. M. L/Institeur Bernard takes
to his bed, when Knock assures him he’s
a carrier of millions of microbes. An old
peasant woman, suffering from avarice and
indigestion, is to idle a week away on vichy
water and crackers. Then, if she feels
better, no more treatments will be neces-
sary! Gradually Knock, aided by science
and good press agenting, has half his popt-
lation flat on their backs.

“Riew: ne m/’agace,” he assures a col-
league, ‘ ‘Comme cet etre, ni chair, ni pois-
son, que vous appelez un etre bien portant.
La verite,. c’est que nous manquons tous
d’audace,. que personne, pas meme modi,
n’osera aller jusqu’ au bout, et mettre tout
une population au lit, pour voir, pour
voir!”

It is doubtful whether any American
could, in so few pages, handle this fantas-
tic and excessively ridiculous material. But,
as the Laird observed so many years ago,
“they manage these things better in France.”
(From the French Book Department of the

Book Shop.)



Vainglory by Ronald Firbank.

Modern novels aren’t so modern any
longer. Thanks to Mr. Huxley, Mr.
Proust and Mr. Joyce, it’s becoming pos-
sible to follow an idea instead of a plot,
to appreciate a character in thought
rather than in-action. But the method is
still new, and the average reader is en-
titled still to a.little ordinary considera-
tion. m

A book like Ronald Firbank’s Vain-
glory might have had several. rewritings
and still been in no danger of becoming
unfashionably direct: As it is, he starts
you on a dinner party in the pseudo-ar-
tistic “crowd” in London. Literal de-
scription suffices here for a strange
result. But the next two hundred odd
pages deal with nothing so tangible as
even “arty” conversation. You meet the
members of the first party here and there
—chiefly the neurotic Mrs. Shamefoot,
and quite unnecessary Bishop’s family.
There are: sections, too, for ‘the affairs of
Mrs. Henedge, and her pianisi, and for
the artist George Cavally and Mira
Thumbler of the pale peculiar ways. It
is hard to say exactly why. There’s no
line or body to the book, at all, and Mr.









failure of Vainglory is particu-
because it represents a
and talent. Where Mr.

He can be Nnny—he has been reason-

(which Mr. Van Vechten believes he
wrote with his eyebrows) will surely not
stop here on this most aptly named note
of Vainglory, It is too bad he so much as

No. 3 Joy Street-—An Anthology
Probably ,most of the so-called adults

those difficult moments when they had out-
grown the Oz books, or gone stale on the
advehture of King Arthur and his knights.

last forever. What does last, is the insati-
able child’s interest in knights and fairies,
strange children and animals, Children
always want a sequel or another version.

“No. 3 Joy Street” answers the want ad-
mirably. ‘The material is still the same—
“THe Wonderful Knight,” “The Spotted
Dog,” “The Ship Boys Song,” “Mabel in
Queer Street,” “The Colored Lands.” This
kind of titles; quoted from the’ list of con-
tents, is reassuringly familiar. But Mr.
A, A. Milne, Mr, Chesterton, Mr. Lawrence
Housman, and others, have refreshed the
jaded young eye with new details and new
words. And there are new poems, too, that
are not from the “Childs Garden,” or the
Kipling books. These are two verses from
the Ship Boy’s Song:

“Whither we steer I do not care—

Crete, Alicant, or Finistere,

For casks of wine, or russet bales,

So we have fair winds for our sails.



In after dusk I sit aloft

When waves are gentle, and winds soft
I love to watch between the spars
_The solemn kindling of the stars.”

The compilers of “No. 3 Joy Street” have
showed great tact in realizing a child’s need
for new versions of the always absorbing
old themes.

And, by way of making their contribution
very complete, they haves had the book
pritited in large type, and filled with black
and white drawings made on paper which
would take very kindly to coloring.

dents’ Self-Government» Association to
permit smoking at Bryn Mawr under cer-
tain restrictions and in certain quarters

The Self-Government Association
atlows its members to smoke within the
twenty-five mile limit under the follow-
ing conditions:

1. When at private houses.

2. In the Hall Libraries.

3, On the lower campus excepting
in the vicinity of the athletic fields when
they are in use. Bs

sitting rooms; the Association permits
the hostess'‘to smoke with them in the
evening, or on Sunday afternoon. When
there is a public entertainment there, the
hall warden may ask the students not to
smoke in that room.

The fact that Bryn Mawr had adopted
this new rule gppeared in the daily papers
on Monday, November 23, with the follow-
ing statement from Miss Park—

“The Self-Government Association of
Bryn Mawr College, of which every
undergraduate is a member, and which
places the responsibility of the conduct
of the students entirely in their own
hands has found. it increasingly impossible
to enforce one of the rules which is on
their statute books, namely, that in regard
to. smoking. They therefore petitioned
President Marion Edwards Park to per-
mit smoking, under restrictions, for the
group accustomed to it and who wish to
continue to do it. Smoking is therefore
to be permitted at Bryn Mi-wr in one
room set aside for that purpose in each
hall of residence, and on the lower ath-
letic field when games are not in progress.”

President Marion . Edwards Park, of
Bryn Mawr College, has issued the fol-

point dut to the students that Bryn Mawr
never changes? Did she discover that
the younger generation is going to the
dogs? Did she affirm that a law once
written is a law forever, and that if Bryn
Mawr does not choose to live as it lived
in 1897 the thing to do is to give the col-
lege more machinery of enforcement?
No; Miss Park laid down none of these

FIVE COLLEGES SEND TO
STUDENT GOVERNMENT MEETING





Aim f Coahariais to be Unity of

(Specially contributed by M. I. Jones,.’27,
and C. Chambers, '27.)

The: conference of the Women’s Inter-
collegiate Aésociation for Student Gov-
ernment was held at Wellesley College,
November 12-14. All women’s colleges
east of the Mississippi are invited to join
this organization, and on this occasion
about fifty-five of them sent delegates.

The first discussion took up the ques-
tion of Student Government in its relation
* general campus problems. Miss Rgen-
dleton, president of Wellesley College,
in the opening address asked the delegates
three questions.: ee

accept when you accept the gift of the’

college founders?

3. Are you, when legislating, to be,
blind followers of the communities from.
which you come, or are you to set a new
standard? ©

With these questions in mind, the con-
ference discussed the necessity and aims
of student government. It was unani-
mously felt that government by thé
students was necessary, but that too
much time was spent on detailed work.
More people should be employed for it,
leaving the officers free to do only execu-

tive work. Wellesley has partially solved,

the problem by having a paid secretary
to keep their records and files’ in order.
It was. agreed that Student Govern-
ment should attempt to define social con

ventions with reference to the locality in.

which the college was situated. The
conditions of student life should be made
as natural as possible, with as much free-
dom as _ the restrictions of academic life
permit. The conference also felt that it
should be an aim of Student Government
to have a few. general regulations igstead
of many specific. ones,

The discussion on Friday, concerned
with Student Government in relation to
international and national problems, was
the most important part of the confer-
ence. The speeches at the dinner given
for the delegates on Thursday served as a

background for the discussion. Miss Eleanor .

Dodge, of Vassar, who had attended the con-
fered@ of the C. I. E. last summer, said that
official representatives should be sent from
the United States. The C. I. E. hopes to lay
the foundations for future peace among
nations through understanding between
students. In such an enterprise America
cannot afford to be unrepresented.
Habricht, a. Swiss, and Mr. Deak, a Hun-
garian, both associated with the C. I. E., also
urged American co-operation.” The confer-
ence thereupon elected five students ‘to act
on the national committee, which will choose
twenty-five delegates to go to the C. I. E.
conference in Rome this summer.

Mr. Roupp addressed the conference on
Friday on the World Court, saying that
the most important contribution college
students could make to
affairs was their support of the World
Court,
(voting as individuals, not as represen-
tatives of their respective, colleges) to
send a telegram to the Senate urging the
adoption of the Swanson Resolution, A
discussion followed of whether student

government should be a chafinel for ptiblic

opinion on political questions, and it was
finally agreed that since it was the one or-

| ganization which included all the students,

it should attempt to stimulate interest in,
and crystallize opinion on, important cur-
rent events.
unique in having an undergraduate associa-
tion ready for the purpose. -

At the meeting on ° Saturday,
question of\ the purpose of the W. I. A.
S. G. was brought up. Should it continue
to exist for the sake of discussing com-
mon problems, or should its interests be
broader? “It was unanimously felt that
the conference was too large to consider
specific campus problems Ecceut in the
small discussion groups held for that pur-
pose) and that it should be devoted here-
after to intercollegiate, national and
intarnational questions. The following
motion, therefore, will be put before the
colleges for approval or rejection: that the

purpose of the organization shall be to —

unify Student Government in the United
States, and to discuss the relationship of
Student Government to national and in-

you make God do what you want, you are
putting yourself above God. God is in-
ferior, and you are the centre of the world.
God is then reduced to a fetish, and re-
ligion ‘to magic. Job’s initial outlook was
that of a magician, Ih the twenty-ninth
chapter he is’ still unpérsuaded. It is not
until the last four chapters when he re-
alizes the universe does not exist for man,
but is self-sufficient, that Job is in a posi-
tion to understand what ,religion really is.”.

There is a permanent struggle of re-
ligious life always going on to cast out
magic and create the conditions for re-
ligion, when one realizes that. God is no
use—for if He was He would not be God.
“The greatest peril of America,” continued
Dr. Sperry, “is that it is being led away
into the heresy of magic. You can sell
Americaiis religion if it is a ‘good bargain’.”

A @requently ‘discussed problem is
whether there is any experience in life
where the road seems to end—any experi-
ence so satisfying that we know what it
means to enjoy God. Cardinal Newman, in
Ideas of a University, argues that a liberal
education is its own end and satisfaction.
“This,” said Dr. Sperry, “is religion in
terms of intellectual life. The same is true
of aesthetic and moral. life:'an acquaintance
is a person you use; a friend is .a person,
you enjoy.”



Dr.@Sperry suggested that we look into Telephone, Bryn Mawr 867

work is all that matters, and aeceording to
Calvin, ey God and enjoy Him for-
ever.” ©

“Lee Mallory’sgascent of Mount Everest
is a gorgeous parable of spiritual life,” said
Dr. Sperry. There was no use in climbing
Mount Everest; no material benefit could
be derived from it. The unconquered moun-
tain was a challenge to him. The last thing
known, of him was that he was still climb-
ing. One of his party saw him silhouetted
against the sky. Since then no trace -nor
word has been found. “Lee Mallory,” con-
cluded Dr Sperry, “got the magic out of
life and put religion into it.” ,

» LECTURES ON E. A. ROBINSON



Humor and Psychology ‘Subjects of
French Exchange Professor

“The Humor of, Edwin Arlington Rob-
_inson” was the subject of the penultimate
lecture of. Professor Cestre, delivered on

Wednesday afternoon,

Robinson has a_ sprightly ° intellect
‘aware of the incongruities and failings of
human society, he said. He is too much
of a thinker and an artist to be a pure
humorist. In his*playful mood he still
shows deep. thought and a strong sense
of the spiritual unity of man. . His mirth
is often tempered by pity and tenderness.
. He is not a wilful pessimist--his puritani-
cal upbringing is counteracted, by his
humor, Always in him the artist leads
the philosopher by the hand.

He follows Browning as Tennyson fol-
lows Keats, without alienating his own
temperament. He draws characters from
his own experience, and is without the
overflow of vigor that is native in Brown-
ing. Beside him he shows also reserve
and self-restraint, avoiding coarseness,

“An excellent manager of side-shows of

the World’s Fair”—so M. Cestre summar-
ized Robinson’s delight in the queerness
of men. We find in his poetry a blending
of fantasy and mellow wisdom, with now
and then keen insight, lyrical beauty or
sportive merriment.
- Sometimes his humor takes on a mel-
ancholy tinge. -He gives us pictures
painted in swift strokes, of characters
remembered from his boyhood, such as
Isaac and Archibald.

His humor is as different as could be
imagined from the ordinary type prevalent
in’ America. His is not the humor that
by mere rowdy laughter brings momen-



tary relaxation, but the humor of finesse.

_that gives to the brain a new vigor.

Captain Craig has so much excellence in
it that it will repay perusal, although it is
very often incoherent and obscure. The
‘compound of farce and wisdom is very
striking.

This son of New England Puritans
breaks all the fetters of his training by
his exaltation of beauty. He longs to
throw down the barriers of cant, dogma
and tradition so that he may broaden his

outlook. He refuses to believe that God:

is a spiteful being—he knows that God’s
humor ig the beauty of the spheres. Thus
it comes about that all his work has a
fundamentally idealistic trend.

In the bitter and tragic humor of
Napoleon, he has given us a psychological
study almost without equal. Humor is
part of the woof and part of his writing.

“Mr. Robinson consciously broke away
from the Romantic trend,” said M. Cestre,
in his last lecture on the Psycholegy of Ed-
win Arlington Robirison, on Thursday. “In
this he is in agreement with the chief ten-
-dencies of our generation, which desires
above all to know the truth.” So “literature
has made psychology its auxiliary.” Mr.
Robinson, profound student of mind, first
effected a detachment from his own ego;
then he proceeded to follow Browning, who
“first ventured on the field of psychological
observation, explored tracts, created a new
genre, framed a style, but by no means
exhausted the possibilities of the method.”

Mr. Robinson has further explored the
subconscious, the unsuspected thoughts
_ which are “treasures of rich potentiality for
poets.” “He assembles the undertones and
overtones of the mind and wraps them in
-’ weird spiritual harmonies, he weaves around

us a net of revelations and surprises, he
: wins us over to his vision and leads us to



‘dramatic interpretation of disordered «minds ’

he-is careful to choose the stage of disinte-
gration which will appeal to our sympathy.”
“The treatment of love is a true test to
sound a*poet’s temper,” M. Cestre went.on. As
illustration, the contrasting characters of his
Vivian and his Guinevere may be cited, each
in a ‘poem dealing with a man’s love and a
woman’s broken vow. Both express seduc-
tion and sentiment as opposed to masculine
assertion. Bfit the pretty, impish Vivian,
living in the castle with the old Merlin
until their rapid final separation, has not the
passionate, tragic quality of Arthur’s Queen
“Passing from one poem to the other is like
moving from gentle emotions that ruffle the
surface of our mind td deeper feelings,” de:
clared M..Cestre. With Guinevere, the “type
of grande amoureuse,’. with Lancelot worn
by his own deception and the wild frenzy ai
the Queen, there comes the passion of ail:
Elizabethan tragedy or. a classic French
drama, the dramatic quality of Shakespeare
or Racine. Thus*Mr, Robinson has expressed
“all the pathetic phases of love’s agony.”
In‘ his treatment of episodes of contem-
porary life he has shown the same psycho-
logical truth. This exemplified in the story
of Bartholo and Gabrielle, the husband
characterized by
moral blundering,” and his wife, an “aver-
age American middle class woman with all



“Tnideed; “stich poetry is replete with truth of

“intellectual penury and |:

mate.” With Pepraven, the crafty. deceiver,
ruin comes to this unhappy pair, in a violent
denougment that yet has nothing of the
melodramatic. ‘The quality of ,Mr. Robin-
son’s poem lies,” M. Cestre pointed out, “as
much in -his knowledge -of the human heart
as\in his power of dramatic constriction.

“Nothing is more conformable to the re-

‘cent discoveries of the life’ of the uncon- |°

scious than the analysis of Annandale in
“The Book of Annandale,” M. Cestre went
on, In the study of the young husband at
the funeral of his wife and of his later rela-
tions with a woman who-has lost’ Aer hus-
band, there is enormous psychological truth.

universal quality.”

In The Man Who Died Twice, published
since the edition of his collected works, Mr.
Robinson has written of the psychology of
genius ,of the wrong instincts and patho-
logical symptoms of the’ uncontrolled per-
sonality of a musician. “Psychological
poetry reaches here its apex of intellectual

Nineteen twenty-seven defeated nine-
teen twenty-eight by a score of 4 to 3 in
a. bitterly contested match on Tuesday,
November 24, In spite of the Green's
victorious score, the Light Blue team
played a very good game. H. Tuttle, ’28’s
spectacular corner goal put the Sopho-
mores in the lead early in the first half.
As a whole, the 1928 forward line played
a hard, quick game, but the 1927 backs
proved too much for them.

Long runs up almost the full length of
the field characterized the playing of both
teams. . There was very little neat:
ing on the part of either 1928 or 1927;
fact, both back lines avoided any possi-
bility of interference to an extreme
degree. The line-up’was as follows:

1927: B. Pitney, E, Haines, R. Mil-
ler**, F. Thayer, A. Newhall, J. Seeley**,
