DR. LOWES. LECTURES ON
RIME OF ANCIENT MARINER
Ann Shgble Memorial Lecturer
Tells How Original Idea of
Coleridge Grew
POEM EMBODIES THEORIES
> - - -
Lowes, professor of Eng-
John L,
-—Jish-at-Harvard,-delivered-the Ann-Sheble}-
Memorial: Lecture, speaking on “The Bird,
the Daemon, and the Eternal Wanderer:
A Chapter in the history of the Rime of
the Ancient Mariner,” in be ae Hall last
Friday evening. =
“The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” said
Professor Lowes, “is not a tour dg force
of the imagination, but compact of the fact
and. thought of Coleridge’s time. It is in-
stinct with Neo-Platonism and with the
naively scientific spirit then prevailing.
Coleridge-had a nebulous idea for a poem
about an old navigatory Wordsworth stug-
gested that the navigator kill an albatross
and thereafter be punished by the spirits
of its native land, which Coleridge makes
a kind of supermundane place. Words-
worth unlocked a storehouse of legend and
superstition by his suggestion, for Cole-
ridge’s mind was seething with Jewish and
Oriental mysticism, because he had read
deeply. in the Neo-Platonists of the Alex-
2
andrian period. Plotinus :and Porphirius, |
and even more in the Renaissance Neo-
Platonists, Fiemo, and Rico Mirandella,
whose Caballa is almost an encyclopedia of
mysticism.
“Daemonology was a tremendously popu-
lar subject at that time. People were deeply
interested in the legend that there were
supernatural invisible beings distributed
among ‘the elements, and having the power
Coleridge,
at Wordsworth’s proposal of the spirits,
‘remembered the fable of these daemons,
which belong to ‘the mystic region of the
primal instinctive will to believe,’ and set
out to deal with them in such a way as
to give them reality.
“The original conception of the old navi-
gator was greatly changed by Wordsworth’s
idea, Coleridge had read extensively , in
*German literatére, which then interested
itself largely in the legend of the Wander-
ing Jew. Yet the Mariner is not the Wan-
derer: by a subtle transfer he becomes a
‘new creation, though shrouded in all the
mystery of this most ancient of legends.
He has a semblance of truth which chal-
lenges us to believe in him.
“Coleridge had been planning a novel
whose central character - was known only
as the Unfathomable and whose preface
was exactly like the wedding scene in “The
Ancient Mariner.’ Wordsworth’s sugges-
tion linked this idea to that of ¢ternal
wandering as an expiation for crime. Gess-
ner’s ‘Death of Abel’ interested Coleridge
by its conception of Cain as a branded,
hunted man. The- Mariner is influenced
by it, yet the Mariner is not ‘Cain;-but an
essentially new creation.
“The beauty of ‘The Rime of* the An-
cient Mariner’ springs,” Professor Lowes
_said,.“from ‘the secret influence of the un-
expressed.’ Investigation of the subtlety
by. which this beauty is. achieved proves
is not merely* a work of the
imagination, but also the result of the
varied intei&sts of Coleridge’s age and of
his literary satin A

LABOR PARTY BRINGS UNIONS
AND INTELLECTUALS TOGETHER
Application to All Classes
Tracing the rise of the Labor Party from
the Renaissance and Reformation, Mr. Sid-
ney F. Wicks, of the Manchester Guardian,
told of its present position in the British
Government, in Taylor, last Tuesday eve-
ning. . r
The Manchester Guardian, which Started
at the death of Napaleon, with a policy of
disseminating ideas, and formation of pub-
lic opinion, helped the Liberal Party, which
as the parent of the Labor Party, had
started reforms... The extension of the
franchise, finally to women, education, fac-
tory acts, and to freedom of Ireland were
the results of its work in this field. . There
was a-religious zeal behind liberalism that
still characterizes the movement, because
the Anglo-Saxon wants not spiritual hair-
splitting, but a practical application of
Christianity to his needs, and therefore a
libéral interpretation of the New Testa-
ment. When liberalism faltered, and re-
fused to take advantage of its victories
over the House of Lords, the torch passed
on to the younger, more vigorous party,
which at a time of’ scepticism about the
efficacy of diplomats, was unstained by
diplomatic contact. Some members of the
older party, like Lord Haldane, now joined

Swarthmore scored a beautiful goal from
the center line at the beginning of the

the similar response of Bryn Mawr led to

HONESTY OF INTELLECT
URGED BY DR. STEINER
Chapel Speaker Stresses Necessity
for Justice in Hate and Love
—_—_—_——
“Dealing justly” involves intellect as well
as emotion, said Dr. Edward Steiner, pro-
fessor of Applied, Christianity at Grinnell
College, in Chapel last Sunday evening.
People, he continued, tend to be governed
by bias rather than by fact; by hastily
generalized impressions; by their inclina-
tion to believe what they want to believe;
by inheritance, training, surroundings, self-
interest.
“OR
But to be just, a man must have
-the courage of his convictions and_ the
courage to face both sides of a question
at the same time. Furthermore, in dealing
justly the emotions of love and hate are
necessary as well as logic. But we must
love fairly; when we hate we must- hate
justly and to a purpose; hating in our
friends and in ourselves what we hate in
our enemies, +)
At.-this time intellectual ‘sina and just
emotion are most needed, concluded Dr. ©
Steiner, that God¢may reveal Himself to
us, :

‘. AN EMBASSY OF UNDERSTANDING
* One of the: objections which lmborers
make to the intellectuals who’ would work
with them in their trade unions, is that
the latter know, nothing about industrial
conditions.
this difficulty would be for students to go
into industry themselves, but that is.usually |

group is attempting another solution. At
a Y. W. C. A. in one of the suburbs of
¢ Philadelphia is a club of working girls who
meet during the week for cl&sses in psy-
chology. The teacher is a woman whose
‘sympathies are with the working classes
but whose interests and contacts are aca-
demic. By her efforts these’ girls were
persuaded to meet one week with a few
Bryn Mawr undergraduates, and out of
that meeting has grown a‘ bi-weekly group
meeting of the industrial. and college girls
to discuss trade unions, workers’ education,
equal rights and so on.’
To the college girls the experience has
been enlightening and inspiring. They have
realized that industrial accidents to occur
outside of economics text-books, that great
numbers of people receive Jess than a living
wage, that strikes are not the result of
‘mere perversity on the part of the strikers,
and that the laboring classes have ideals
and standards-as well as they. It is harder
to see what the industrial girls obtain from
the meeting, since they’ are on the whole
better informed on economic matters than
we are, Perhaps: their pleasure- comes
from feeling thaf" they are enlisting fuitre
. members of the capitalist class in their:
cause. The great value to both groups,
however, is the increase of understanding
which results when persons with radically
different backgrounds meet on a common
ground to discuss questions which affect
them all. oe Bios

ON MAGAZINES
Are we all taken in by magazine art?
Max Eastman thinks so. Successive gen-
erations of us, brought up ‘on the “Gib-
son girl” or the “Christy girl” or the ““Har-
rison Fisher girl,” become blunted, and our
ideals of feminine beauty are sadly preju-
diced. There is a time-worn question, to
wit, “what’s wrong with the picture?”
trite, we grant, but still useful in its way.
Unfortunately most of us never ask it in
connection with magazine illustrations. We
accept them placidly along with the placid
virtues they represent. Mr. Eastman has
summed up for us the chief of those quali-
ties we idealize in our magazines.
1. Wistfulness in a pretty girl—indicated
by arching her eyebrows clear ‘up into
her hair.
Adventurous although stylish athleti-
‘ cism in a young man—indicated in the
jaws and pants.
3. Romance in the meeting of the two—
indicated by his gazing upon the earth,
she upon infinity.
Pathos _of old age—indicated with
bending knees or a market basket.
5. Sweet and divine innocence of chil-
: dren—usually indicated in the stock-
ings.
His rennet are both exivptie: and en-
assuredly it is what we get. Ninety-five
per cent. of the illustrative material in
magazines is utterly worthless from an ar-
tistic point of view and yet we accept it
and get a cheap sort B enjoyment out
of it. What we nedd is a rfore strongly
critical attitude towards those things which
we accept in order to get pleasure. A good
start could be made on the collegiate atti-
tude toward magazine art. We scorn to
use a good collegiate word, gupp writing—
Why not gupp drawing ?
Editors do not hold themselves silliest for
optnions expressed in these columns.
To the Editor of Tue Cotreck News:
It seems time that a statement should be
made summarizing the attitude taken by
the college towards the Students’ Building.
Otherwise the alumnae may get a wrong
impression, and the cause of the building
be greatly damaged.
A luncheon was given about a week ago
by Miss Marion Reilly, an alumna, at which
were present President Park, Mrs. Chad-
wick-Collins, several alumnae, the class
presidents and most of the heads of the
large associations and organizations—a
group surely thoroughly representative of
the opinions of the college. This group
discussed very completely the whole matter
of the Students’ Building, and.there was
only one dissenting vote to the decision
that the building was a very real, pressing
and immediate need. ~
‘Again as to the matter of diasuial of
the May Day funds, this has already been
taken up by the undergraduates, and a}
motion passed that the money should be
given to the Music Fund and Students’
Building Fund.
Furthermore the biilding is not tobe
any Elysian playground. It is to contribute >
“hal simplest form, bn is Pro-}
torium, with rooms under it’for a few of,
the most important things., It is true that
many. causes. in the world. are calling for
our support, but we “should have no assur-
ance that the,one hundred thousand dol-
lars, just because they did not go to our
fund, would’ go to one of these other
causes. Besides, with this building, we
shall be’ able to make money on»our activ-
ities, instead of losing, and can then our-
selves contribute to many of the things we
feel worth while in the world at, large.
It surely seems, now that the opinion of
the college has expressed itself, and w®
have already voted on the, disposal of .the
May Day funds that the time for discuss
sion has- passed. Should not the minority
yield to the majority?
: MARION ANGELL.
To the Editor of the Cottece News:
The issue recently raised as to the meth-
-od--of using the--proceeds—of -May~Day-
seems to me to concern a fundamental
question as to the undergraduate state of
mind, Can the always conservative Bryn
Mawr student body be shaken out of its
calm by a sudden decision to give the pro-
ceeds of May Day to foreign relief funds?
Will this impetus direct, the energies of
the students to the help ‘of .the laboring
classes and the organization wot strikes?
The proceeds of May Day “would not do
great things, but would help somewhat in
foreign relief. So @lso in the Students
Building Fund, we do not expect the gains
calm by a sudden decision to give the pro-
but we do need the publicity; The Alum-
nae are working -with us, the classes of
Bryn Mawr for many years have worked
for the building. Have we the right to
refuse our share in this work now?—for
giving May Day: for some other cause
would retard the publicity for the Students
Building by four years.
_ The. need for the Students Building has
made it something more than “a pleasant
and harmless addition to the campus.”
Possibly the auditorium would not include
seats for an appreciably larger number of
people but a room in which comfortable
seating and a real possibility of seeing and
hearing in something beside.-the- first few
rows would be, I should say, more .cer-
tainly filled. Moreovér, the sure way in
which to draw large and paying audiences
is to give better plays. - This becomes more
and more difficult, for Bryn Mawr, with
its inadequate lighting system and stage,
cannot hope to compete with better
equipped amateur companies. In “ these
days of de luxe Little Theatres we are
still working with the equipment of
twenty years ago. It was thén possible
to produce a play with simple: settings, it
‘lis true, but these simple settings have
fallen apart after long wear and tear, and
it is the construction of new settings to
replace them which is expensive. Nor can
any simplification of scenery remove the
large initia} cost_ of the erection of the
stage.
Furthermore, the time is very sanidie
approaching when it will be excessive to
ask the Associations to function without
proper offices and filing accommodations.
Records which must be preserved are in-
creasing every year and there is literally
no place in which they may be kept at
present.
Respectfully,
PAMELA Coyne, 724.
To the Editor of THE News:
em whole question of the significance
sas which it should hold i in college life
| has been raised in the recent. discussion of
whether or not the president of the Asso-
en n should, ex officio, be chairman of
‘Tae News takes sine in arnounc-
“tng. the section dt KC, Siaiénds; 27 and
Men # the Eidhorial Boar.
FS and. will introduce sthe speakers,
the Curriculum Committee. At the last
meeting a motion that the chairman of
cil, was passed; presumably on the grounds
that a person suitable to be: President of
the Undergraduate Assogiation might not
always be an_ effective chairman of the
Curriculum Committee, and that surely
the position entails too much work for
the president.
As regards the last reason, Miss ReQua
has already explained that it is not suffi-
ciently important to be made an_ issue.
The whole matter _ resolves itself, then,
into the more significant question as to
which arrangemerit ‘will have the ‘more
beneficial effect upon the future of both
Curriculum Committee.
If the Undergraduate President is auto-
matically the chairman of the Committee,
she will be elected with this fact in view,
chosen, not only for the qualities gener-
ally considered in all college elections, but
also for an active interest in the academic
work in college.’ This would result in our
having at least one of our four associations
directly connected with the aspect of col-
lege lifg which is actually the most im-
portant one. And in consideration of the
number of unacademic activities and in-
terests which occupy our'time and tend to
divert our attention from college work;
this. surely seéms an vend worth striving
for.
VirGINIA Lomas.
To the Editor of THe Cottece News:.
While a sense of values is undoubtedly
a desirable possession, ° steadfastness ot
purpose is an equally desirable one. It has
been decided, after careful consideration,
to give the proceeds of May Day toward
the Students’ Building Fund and the Music
Department. It would show the weakness of
cause of the fresentation of a new object
of charity which seems worthy of dona-
tion.
No matter how long we might defer the
final culmination of the plans for Students’
Building there would. always be a new
cause to which our money might conceiv-
ably be diverted. There are so fnany
worthy causes in the world!
It is a serious question. whether or not
such a use of May Day proceeds as has
been suggested would bring an enthusiastic
response from our prospective subscribers.
Such an ‘object might not have—shall we
say, quite a universgl appeal?
~ But the very fact that we have accumu-
lated fifty ‘thousand dollars ghows what
can, and will, be done for the Students’
Building. (And once it is built any number
to the world’s betterment.) Having come
so far, let us not go astray! >

tons and electrons as almost knowing what
was expected of them and responding as
best they were able. There is a disagfee-
ment between the chemiist ‘who Says the
electron is still and the physicist who de-
clares it to be whirling about its nucleus [
with a velocity half that of light. Many
theories were shattered by the equations of
Einstein, among them that. of the inde-
structibility of matter and the conception of
anything as solid. A gram of anything,
according to Dr. Berg, has as much po-
tential energy as eight and a half mil-
lion pounds of coal. The danger here lies
in the fact that release of such energy
* would be uncontrollable.
Bohr, accepting the work on the atom
by Rutherford, managed to change the]
orbit of an electron by bombarding the
atom with just the right charge from a
- radio tube. The atom did not take the
charge, but energy, thus swelling its orbit.
The simplification of physics is its. debt
to Einstein, who has incorporated his the-
ories into ten differential equations. His
three basic assumptions are that things
look different to people in different posi-
tions, that equations that apply to motion
should. apply to immobility, and the velocity
of light in free space. To him there is no
force of gravitation.

Apprentice toan Englfsh book-

tion of Sir Humphrey Davy,
becoming his assistant. “The
greatest experimentalist of all
times,” se vs one. biographer.
The electrical unit Farad was

In 1880 the Edison
Electric Illuminating
Company, of New York
City, installed a genera-
tor of 1200 lamps cap-
acity, then considered
a giant. By continuous
experimentation and re-

What’s the use of it?
Michael Faraday saw the real beginning
of the age of electricity nearly a century
ago when he thrust a bar magnet into a
coil of wire connected with a galvanometer
and made the needle swing.
Gladstone, watching Faraday’ at work in
his laboratory, asked, ‘““What’s the use of
it?” The experimenter jestingly replied,
“There is every probability that you will
soon be able to-tax it.” The world-wide use
of electricity that has followed the Faraday .
discovery abundantly justifies the retort
to Gladstone.
Faraday’s theory of lines of force is con-
stantly applied in the Research Laboratories
of the General Electric Company in de-
vising new electrical apparatus of which
Faraday never dreamed. Every generator
and motor is an elaboration of the simple « |
instruments with which he first discovered
and explained induction. |

NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES
Final examinations bring forth comment
‘at Hunter College and the Universities of
Nebraska and Georgia,
The following resolutions were presented
to council and signed by forty students as
propositions changing the method of final
term examinations. ;
We, the undersigned students of Hunter
College, propose. to the Student Council,
who will kindly dake it up with the student
body and faculty, as a substitute for the
present method of concentrated examina-
tions and other ‘established regulations, the
following plan:
« 1. For reviews during the term there
should be periodic discussions, followed by
written quizzes,
2. For final review at end of term, one
week should be put aside for a general,
class discussion covering the term’s work.
In a subject where a final discussion is not
possible, the periodic quizzes during the
term will suffice.
(a) In case. of written English where
weekly themes are brought in, no periodic
or end-term examination should be given.
(b) In subjects such as appreciation of
opera, art, or physical training, interest and
appreciation should be fostered rather
than the ability to pass an examination on
the topics.
3. In subjects, where discussions are
warranted, there should be several open
forums during the term and ho mark
should be given for the opinions or ideas
adyocated. . ;
There is a revolution going on among
college students and faculties to abolish
final examinations.
At the University of Nebraska exami-
nations ‘will not be given in the future.
The students as well as the faculty have
decided that the examinations customarily
given at the close of the term are getting
to be a test of endurance rather than a
fair test of the knowledge gained during
the school term. The ultimate object of
“the new system is to bring about a more
uniform system of study throughout the
student body. Every student will be com-
pelled to study a reasonable amount of
time throughout the term, and it will be
useless for any individual to absorb the
entire text-book on the night before the
final test.
‘ There is a strong movement under way
among the upper classmen at the Univer-
sity of Georgia to eliminate final examina-
tions. A petition is being circulated for
doing away with all term exams for
juniors and seniors, and substituting daily
or weekly tests in each subject. The sug-
gested change has met both support and
opposition from the students 'and teachers
of the University.
The Daily Californian is ingsize and sub-
‘stance very similar to a — city news-
paper and contains from four to six pages
daily. Not only does it print the news of
the University, but also receives reports of
the United News; so the late news of the
day is published in the University paper
as soon as in any city publication. An-
other similarity to the city newspapers is
that it also runs. page advertisements.
A nation-wide collegiate referendum on
the Prehibition Amendment is the present
undertaking of the Yale Daily News and
the Harvard Crimson. In order to make
the vote as representative as possible, over
one hundred colleges all over the country
have beeri asked to participate in the poll-
ing. One college paper in each state has
been appointed to handle the ballot in its
own state.._Eighteen colleges in Massa-
chusetts, ‘including Wellesley, have been
isked to hold votes on the subject of pro-
the majority of students are in favor of
rigi¥ enforcement of the present amend-
hibition, with a view to deciding whether |.
ment, whether they would prefer to repeal
the law, or whether they would advocate
some sort of modification.
The ballot reads:
1 Do you favor an amendment to the
Constitution repealing the present Pro-
hibition Amendment?
2 Do you favor modification of the Vol-
stead. Act to permit the sale of light
wines and beers?
3 Do you favor more rigorous enforce-
ment of the Prohibition Amendment
and the Volstead act, to make Prohi-
bition an actuality ?

ART OF WIENNESE CHILDREN IS,
VOLUNTARY A INDEPENDENT
Miss Skinner of the English Department
spoke on the methods of the school in
Vienna whose work is represented in an
Exhibition at the School of Industrial Art
in Philadelphia, last Friday morning in
chapel.
Dr. Cizek, the head of the school, has no
methods, in the acceptes, sense, said Miss
Skinner, for he is not a teacher. When
asked for the cause of the beautiful work
of the children, ‘he says, “1 take the lid off;
most teachers put it on. ,The children éx-
press themselves.” There are 50 or 60 al-
unselected, rich and poor alike,

others come in., At the beginning of the
class - Dr. Cizek may set a subject, then
give hints and talk with the children to get
what he calls the “Stimmung.” They all

for there is no As some
have different conceptions, in the end,. of
the same subject and go at the work un-
aided except for a few suggestions.. At the
end of the class the pictures are all hung
up on the wall and Dr. Cizek criticizes them
in terms that the children may understand ;
he is a real artist and withal,.a psychologist
of great understanding, and encourages in
different ways the three stages of art which
appear in children: first, the scribbling
period, up to five, then the primitive, un-
selfconscious stage from five to twelve and
finally the more selféonscious and critical
period to sixteen when the full talent, if
there is any, appears.
BENEFIT PERFORMANCE TO BE
GIVEN AT THE GERMAN SOCIETY
A performance for the benefit of Ger-
man students. and children will be given
on Friday evening, March 28, at the Ger-
man Society, Marshall and Spring Garden

The program includes musical numbers
and dances. composed by’G, Prokosch, .’22.
Among the dances are: Three of Schu-
mann’s “Scenes from Childhood,” and
“Will o’ the. Wisp,” danced by children;
“Loki and a series of three solos, “War,”
“Bondage,” and “Release,” by’ Miss Pro-
kosch, an original solo by Hazel Fitz, ’27,

ITALIAN CLUB
The Italian Club held a meeting on
Tuesday evening, March 11th, at which
officers. were elected and plans made for
a lecture in April, by Signorina RoBspliani.
Her subject will probably be Pirandello
and the Italian Stage. In the elections
Maraquita Villard, ’27, was made president,
K. Tompkins, ’26, vice-president and V.
Lomas, ’25, secretary.
There was informal music in Wyndham
on Tuesday evening. Under the leader-
ship of Mr. Surette the audience sang Sir
Eglamore, the Bach chorale A Pure and
Guileless Spirit, the Choeur des Matelots
of Cesar Franck, and the Gypsy Song
fessor at the Lycée Victor Duruy, in Paris,
will speak on the work of Marcel Proust,
on Friday evening,.in Taylor Hall, under
the auspices of the French Club.
She is one,of the first women to have
held the Bourse du Tour du Monde for a
year of travel and study, and has come
to America every year for ten years, lec-
turing to collegiate and political audiences.
On March 15th Mademoiselle Clément
spoke before the League for Political Edu-
cation, in New’ York, stating, according to
the New: York Tribune, that the. greatest
thing America had done for France ‘since
the war was to send General Dawes to
the Reparations Commission and that the
greatest thing she could do. for the peace
of Europe would be to join the League of
Nations. The three main causes for the
present difficulties, she continued, were the
refusal of the Allies to fix a definite sum
for the Germans to pay, the failure of the
Versailles Conference to- settle war debts
and the refusal of the United States to
give its power and moral support to the
League of Nations. f
