DISASTROUS GAME »
HAS HIGH SPOTS

All-Philadelphia ata Oubaley Var-

sity by Wide Margin.
MOVIES’ HELP. SPIRIT
3 PN

Although Varsity was completely out-

classed by All-Philadelphia ‘on Saturday,

November 19, they made a truly valiant
effort to conceal that fact. They put up
a better fight than the final score of 13-1
would indicate. :

The event was considerably enlivened
by the presence of movie cameras and
movie-tone apparatus, and a large and

enthusiastic atfdience. Between halves
they were gathered to sing a vociferous
“On Varsity” into the microphone, and
o “look beautiful”

From the very beginning the game was

before the carreras.

in the hands of the visitors; after afew
minutes of jockeying back and forth,
during which Balch and Hirschberg did
their best to give the ball to our for-

’ wards, there was a rush, and All-Phila-

delphia scored their first goal. Immedi-
ately our forwards tried to do the same
thing, but Elliott, the opposing goal
keeper, was ready, and, after a pretty
stop, sent the ball out of danger.

. Philadelphia Had Advantage of
Speed

All-Philadelphia’s speed, both in run-
ning and in hitting, gave them a great
advantage. They piled up goal after
goal, in spite of Hirschberg’s good work
in the backfield. Time after time she
was the only person between the oncom-
ing forwards and the goal, and time after
time she proved a formidable Charybdis.
Bruere, in the goal, was unprepared for
the swiftness with which the ball changed
direction; if she expected “it on her left,
it flashed by on her right, or between her
feet. At one time she ran out to meet
Cadbury, who passed at just the right
moment to Adams—the goal was only
saved by the fact that Balch had gone in
to take Al’s place. Throughout the game
Balch showed great presence of mind, and
ability.

Toward the end of the first half Var-
sity scored its only goal. The ball was
rushed past Seeley (who plays just as
well on this team as she always did on
Varsity), and into the striking circle.
There it was kept, with dogged persever-

S. S. Speakers

Students Tell What Coming
Here Has Meant to
Them.

The first evening entertainment to be
held in Goodhart Hall was the Summer
School party held there on Saturday eve-
ning, November 19, It was a large gath-
ering, including not only guests from the
college, but also students from several of
the private schools.

“E. Stewart, ’28, "was the master of
ceremonies, and to her the credit for the
success of the evening is due. She in-
troduced the first speaker, Miss Hilda
Smith, the director of the school.

Miss Smith stressed the point that it
is not so much the actual two months of
study here that is “of value to the girls,
but what they do later. After they leave,
they have something to. work on, and a
clearer understanding of present-day
problems. Many Summer School stu-
dents have been able to help in securing
legislative measures for the improvement
of industrial conditions. Others are busy
organizing classes in their own commu-
nities; and still others have raised money
for scholarships. “The workers’ educa-
tion movement is a growing one,”
said, “not only in this country, but all
over the world.”

Telephone Operator in a * Rut

The second speaker was Lucy Liebert,
a telephone operator, who had been at
the school in 1924, and again last year.
She said that she had wanted more edu-
cation because life was so dull. “I was
in a rut; T never heard any new ideas or

CONFERENCE AT SMITH

(Specially contributed by Josephine
Young, ’28) °
It took more than the New England







flood to keep the delegates to the

Women’s Intercollegiate Association
for Student Government Conference at
Smith:

Trains might be late and roads blocked,

away from Northampton.

but all of the representatives of some
seventy odd colleges turned up for the
three days’ meeting.

On November 10 all the delegates
met for the first general session, to be
greeted officially by Mrs. Scales, the
Warden of the College. President
Woolley, of Mt. Holyoke, spoke on
“The Realm of Student Government,”
followed by two student speakers. The
other sessions of the conference were
arranged in the same way; an outside
person of experience and interest spoke,
then two or three of the members
themselves discussed different aspects
of student government. Thus we had
varying points of view, and in every
case the discussion and questions
after the speeches were lively. The
definite ‘discusion groups’ were not as

successful, for it is always difficult to

gain anything really valuable in a
widely varying group ‘discussing one
aspect of a subject upon which all are
limited to their own experience. The
most valuable gains of the conference
came on. the one hand. from the
speeches which presented views of stu-
dent government, in its larger aspects,
and on the other hand from the small
and very informal discussions of par-
ticular problems which took place
wherever two or three delegates, har-
assed by trouble and responsibility at
home, came together to talk over their
problems. It was this feeling of the
value of small conferences that led in
part to the big step which was taken
at this meeting. .
To Support N. S. F. ‘A.

Vassar, Smith, Wellesley, Mt. Holy-
oke and Bryn Mawr felt that the W. I.
A. S. G. was not exactly satisfying
their needs as a channel for the con-
tacts with other colleges, both near and
far, who could offer different points of
view, an advantage and a gain which

Good Triumphs Through.
Pain—Cross a Symbol

“One of the greatest lessons of life
is the fact that* there is no denial or
suffering in the world out of which it
is imposible to extract reformation,”
said the Reverend J. R. P. Sclater, of
Toronto, who spoke in Chapel ori Sun-
‘day, November 20.

“The trial and death of Jesus may be
regarded as an historic event; or as an
age-long struggle between Good and
Evil in which Good triumphed through
untold pain. Christ was crucified be-
tween two thieves. The differences in
the attitudes of the three men who hung
there together is symbolical of Chris-
tianity’s answer to pain.

“On one side hung the impenitent
thief, his face blazing with anger, his

Has This Fine High Average

Psychological testing is now extensive-

throughout the United States as a means
of. determining the selection of candi-
dates for admission to college, ‘the classi-
fication of students according to ability,
and for an increasing variety of other
purposes. 7

was 87.3, which indicated that this group

was as fine a group of students-as had:

been found in instftutions measured by

the test at that time. Have these stu-

dents continued to develop mentally dur-
ing their college course, or did this high
score represent their maximum mental

growth? That is the question to be de-

termined by this second test, namely,

as the Stanford revision of the Binet-

cates, because there is evidence that abil-
ity improved beyond eighteen, at least in
the case of individual subject to in-
tellectual education ?

In order to make the results valuable it
will be necessary to have as large a
sample of each class as possible. See
your class president about signing to take
the examination, and state which day

EFFORTS TO UNITE
THE THREE ARTS

Morris Dancing Allied to the
Heathen Ritual and
_May Days.

GENIUS OF SHARP

“The unification of music, poetry and
dancing, the three sister arts, as the ex-
pression of man’s aspiration and ideas,
in his attempt to identify himself with
the natural world.”

This was the theme of Mrs. May
Elliott Hobbs’ talk on folk-dancing,
Friday, November 18. “These three
arts have the common basis of rhythm,
and in man’s earliest artistic attempts
they were always combined. In later
development, the separation of the
three aided their technique, but it was a
loss to their spiritual expression.

Wagner Wanted Combination

“Wagner was the first to foreshadow
the combination of the three, but he
was unable to create it; there was no
dance material available; he saw that
the dancing of the French stage was
too artificial from both the physical and
artistic points of view. Anything cre-
ative must be traced back to the folk-
dance and folk-music.

“The English masque-writers made
attempts at the combination, but as
they were not interested in the English
material, they based their dancing b coal
tives on the-affected Italian styles.”

“Today in England, musicians and] ¢
writers are co-operating in order to
create a new force, through the com-
bination of . singing, music and the];
dance, and they are using the ‘material
made available by the research of
twenty years.”

Mrs. Hobbs described the situation
twenty years ago, ‘when no one real-}
ized that England had a folk-miisic.
The investigations of Cecil Sharp and
others, however, yielded astonishing

Folk High Schools

Co-operation Between Nations
Basis for Adult
Education
Peter Mannike, who founded the In-
ternational Peoples’ College at Elsinore
in Denmark, told about the start and
purpose of this movement in his lec-
ture on Thursday evening, November

Li.

In Denmark adult education and ag-
ricultural reform have gone hand in
hand. Early in the last century Bishop
Gruntvig founded the “folk high
schools” with the idea that books
should not have great importance, but
that education should be personal in
order to arouse the peasants, against
their own wills, to give them mutual
self-confidence and a desire to do their
best. These schools, while very: suc-
cessful, appealed only to“the farming
class.



Mr. Mannike said that he became
interested in ‘the industrial workers
and felt that something should Be

done for them. Then came the idea of
an international college to promote
friendship between countries. The col-
lege was begun with twenty- -four stu-
dents while now there are eighty-five.

These students represent different |
standpoints and _ different ‘tempera-
ments. This difference in tempera-

ment creates more difficulties than the
difference in languages and it is hard
to find a method of instruction which
will suit all. The English students want
knowledge for practical purposes and
don’t bother with theories. The Ger-
mans are skeptical about the use of
knowledge ‘and want to be inspired
with an ideal towards which to work.
However these temperamental differ-
ences make for advantage even more
than for difficulty. The students learn
from each other. The Germans con-

Wide Field for Reform

in Present-Day Politics

The subject of women in politics be-
gun by Mrs. Miller last Monday, was
continued by Mrs. Manning on No-
vember 16. A

“The vocational committee tries
every year to have a speaker on this
subject who was an alumna of the col-
lege,” she said. . “Fortunately, this is
not hard, as more of our alumnae seem
to be distinguished in that line than in
any other. Politics present a good
opening to a woman with college train-
ing.

“The intelligent and educated peo-
ple of this country are loath to go into
politics. In England politics are a
family tradition; here too much unscru-
‘pulousness is involved. to make the
prospect attractive. Still, there is a
wide field for reform, and women of
education can do no better than at-
tempt to assist in it.”

“THE MOST VIRILE THINKER °
OF OUR DAY” COMING SOON

Bertrand Russell Is Both a

Mathematician and a
° Philosopher.

OPPOSED ‘TO THE WAR

Bertrand Russell is to speak at the oF

college on ‘Saturday evening, December’

10. Mr. Russell has been in the country
all fall ejther speaking or debating. Otte
of his debates was with Will Durant on
the subject “Is Democracy a Failure?”

He was born in 1872, and his di-
versity of interests was shown early
when he took a first in both the mathe-

matical tripos and the second part of ©

the moral sciences. He was a lecturer at
Cambridge until 1916, when he Was dis-
missed for having been fined £100 as a
“conscientious objector” which: he .was
throughout the war, even going to prison
He continued to lecture unofficial-
ly, and to write. Up to the war, his chief
published works were German Social
Principles of Mathematics,
and in collaboration, Principia Mathe-
matica. Since the war he has written,
among other things, Principles of Social
Reconstruction, Mysticism and Logic, and

once,

The A. B. C. of Atoms and The A. B. C.,

of Relativity.

After the war, Mr. Russell traveled in
Russia and China, as a: result of which
he wrote The Theory: and Practice of
Bolshevism and The Problem of China.

Sought a Neo-Realism

The Encyclopedia Brittanica in consid-
ering .Mr. Russell says: “He began to
impose upon psychological and meta-
physical speculation the order and logic
of pure mathematics. As’ time went on
he came to despair of a successful issue
and his later work admits that neither
mathematics nor idealism can wholly sat-
isfy him. Therefore he tried to\ formu-
late a neo-realism. He is a desperate
man, loving extremes and too many of
his specufftions are deliberately intended
“a epater les bourgeois.”

Contrast with this, the statecnbnk of
Harry Hansen in The New York World
in reviewing his recently published
Selected Papers of Bertrand Russell pres.
pared by himself:

“Inasmuch as Russell has trained him-
self to write for the general public, and |
not for cloistered* scholars, his papers
are easily understood by the layman. In
fact, Russell is intensely practical in his
thinking, and. far from outlining ideal
conditions that seem unattainable he is
primarily interested in getting to a higher
stage of culture by making use of the
best in the present system.

Body Is Machine

Primitive Motion Becomes More
Complicated With
Development.

Animal Mechanism was the subject
on which Dr. Ulric Dalhgren, of
Princeton, lectured under the auspices
of the Science Club on Monday eve-
ning, November 21,

Dr. Dalhgren introduced to most of
us a new point of view from which to
regard living organisms. Motion is a
very primitive attribute of all living
matter, ‘he said,\ and in the simplest
cell organisms consists merely of
chemical changes called metabolism.
In these simple cells the protoplasm
forms pathways and is continually re-
interchanging material
with the-nucleus: In the higher animals
this vital factor of motion is still just
as important, but is accomplished by
more involved means. | The primitive ©
form of. movement is) given up and
machines come into play. These
higher organisms take use of tools
in the movement which inevitably ie

since that some people considered it
a breach of etiquette on our part to
comment in this manner upon the.

licy of that magazine. Surely it
would have been a greater breach
to remain stonily silent on the face

of the promising reports’ that we |:

had heard. The function of the
News is to present all subjects of
general interest, and of its edito-

them. Since the Lantern is engaged
in preparing its first issue, and is
therefore attracting attention, it
necessarily became one of those sub-
jects. We commented. Our com-
ments were based’on a hope of im-
provement. That we consider im-
provement a possibility i is casting no
slur on the magazine’s past, at least,
not in a world that still believes in
But the hope was roused
by rumors, just rumors. Can it be
that we congratulated them too
soon?



WHERE THERE’S A WILL
As professed critics of literary art
we should show some interest in the
following item published in the
New York Tribune:

“Whatever paper may rightfully
claim the largest circulation in the
world the award for the smallest
must probably be given to “The
Anti-Top Hat” of London, which
has an issue of only three num-
bers.

“This remarkable periodical was
established by an eccentric gentle-
man who had a perfectly inexor-
able antipathy to high or “stove-
pipe” hats and who devoted his life
largely to the task of denouncing
them. After his death his will was
found to contain a clause giving to
his nephew an annuity of $10,000,
on condition that he should con-
tinue the campaign against, high
hats and should continue printing
the paper.

“Fortunately, there was no re-
quirement of wide publication.
And so the nephew is now able to
comply with the terms of the will
and continue in the enjoyment of
his annuity by printing once a
‘month just three copies of the_
paper, one of which he keeps for
himself, while the other two are
mailed to the two executors of the
will to prove to them that its terms
are being fulfilled.”

The idea has great possibilities.
Why should we not seek out the
eccentric. aversions of our wealthy
old relations, suggest a title such as
the Anti-Scanty. Underwear Paper
and offer to publish an annual copy
in the attempt to eliminate the dis-

e to our Victorian antecedents ?

ight we not prove ourselves wor-

thy of some pittance from their
store of wogldly goods?

Alumnae Think Us too
Mild About Old Orals

“The College News says mildly, in
speaking of the changes in Orals: ‘Orig-
inally the examinations were taken

singly and orally by Seniofs clad in cap
and gown. How inadequately that re-—
calls the funeral flowers, the funeral
dirges, the funeral bake meats provided
by one’s friends; how lightly it passes
over the horrid freshness of white rai-
ment, the shuddering .moment when one
opened the door and saw the Judges, like
High Priests, the curious sound of one’s
own voice reading something that never
was on land or sea, and finally the end-
less wait in the Chapel for the verdict,

and the sick horror with which one real-
ized that one had failed and must come

again, half killed with kindness, gar-
landed for the sacrifice.
“And the article continues: ‘But the

faculty objected to this on the grounds
that it made the whole burden fall upon
the Senior year. Little does the writer
know what the burden was, when all,of
one’s light reading was done in Lesebuch.
‘So the examinations were given in the
spring of Junior year, and—the-conditions
were made up in the fall. They were
also changed from oral to written tests.’
That one sentence marks the end of an
epoch.”—Bryn Mawr Bulletin.

Mills College Sportsmanship Code.

This code expresses the ideals of Mills
spirit and loyalty and translates them
into action. The application of such a
code is not limited to the athletic field
and to those who participate in sports.
It is a code to guide action in all college
activities. The student who truly repre-
sents Mills ideals and fine traditions of
conduct is one who shows the same good
sportsmanship in her residence dining
hall, in her relation to the absence b!ank,
in her respect for all aspects of commu-
nity life that she shows on the athletic
fielkt. .
Good sportsmanship at Mills College
means that a student— .
Co-operates.
Gives her best.
Keeps a high academic record.
Keeps training rules.
Remains punctual and dependable.
Recognizes authority.
Plays to win.
Plays fair at all times.
‘nd does not— Meee
Play to the grandstand.’
Blame others.

Every member of this primitive clan is
an individual. Together they are self-
sufficient, complete in the range of their
experiences; they - need no_ outsiders.
But two outsiders come; what little
structure the novel has depends on their
coming and on the departure of one of
them. There is enough movement and
unity to make formal plot “unnecessary.
The one case of “arrangement,” marry-
ing Meg to her old lover, Vaughn, is
the weakest thing in the béok.

At the beginning -Piers, against the
family’s wishes, marries Vaughn’s
daughter. Eden, who is half an alien,
publishes a book of poetry, goes to New
York, and brings home Alayne Archer,
cultivated and* ignorant of life. We see
through new eyes the noisy activity of

child’s weakness for Eden. But Alayne
develops her own nature, sets factions
at work among the‘others. She sees the
in -adolescent Finch, and
gives the awkward, brooding boy a tem-
porary outlet in music. Eden is too self-
centered to satisfy Alayne; she and
Renriy, against their will, fall deeply in
love, There is a remarkable dignity
about their passion, due partly to its
self-control, partly to the fascination of
Renny. “With his narrow red head, his
red foxlike face and piercing red brown
eyes, he seemed the very spirit of the
woods and streams.” His abrupt horse-
dealing squire’s manner conceals a
capacity for tenderness, he is contemptu-
ous of poetry, yet while he is nursing
a dying foal, he “pictured the soul of
the foal, strong-legged, set free, gal-
loping with glad squeals t@ward some
celestial meadow, its eyes lik stars, its
tail a flaming meteor, its flying hoofs
striking bright sparks from rocky
planets. ‘What a. blithering ass I am—
worse than Eden’ las

It is. not Renny’s love, but Eden’s
momentary affair with Pheasant which
is consummated and which sends Alayne
to New York again, separated from her
husband. The close would be undecisive
were it not the shifting of emphasis from
these. four back to the family. The last
day is Gran’s one hundredth birthday.
Everyone is there except Eden. Alayne
and Renny are parting without hope and
without heroics. Finch has grown up
rapidly and painfully. Gran is proud,
but still clamoring for affection. “Some-
body,” she says at the end, as she has
often said. before— “Somebody kiss me—
“quick!” The one who runs forward to
kiss her is Pheasant, received back into
the tribe. Though the destiny of some
of its members still hangs in mid-air,

Gallions Reach, by H. M. ‘Fomlinson,

Harper's. * :

“H. M. Tomlinson, the author of Lon-
don River and Junk, as well as other
things, has written his first novel—Gal-
lions Reach. Those who know his
earlier work will not be disappointed, and
those who do not would do well to make
his acquaintance now. , |

It has been said of this book that “the
words roll over one’s tongue, like rich
cream and stimulate one like spirits.”
This is true, though perhaps difficult for
those who have not read the book, to
grasp.

The tale is that of a young man who
in business in London hits his employer
only to have him fall dead of heart
failure. Colet, the young man, then
spends some time wandering about Lon-
don—which Mr. Tomlinson knows in all
‘its crannies—and finally lands on a ship
which sails suddenly, carrying him off
to the East. The ship sinks in a storm,
but the people are rescued and carried
on to Rangoon, On the rescue boat
Colet meets with a man who is tin-
prospecting in Malay, and joins him.
His adventures here as thréughout the
book are as much mental as actual—
though there is no lack of action. He
crosses the Peninsula with an old
naturalist and the end of the book leaves
him going back to London to lay his
employer’s ghost—“not his ghost really.
It’s mine.”

The canvas is large and, painted in
large free strokes, but with a charac-
teristic attention to detail.- It is the
mood more than the picture that mat-
ters with Tomlinson, though his work
is full‘of visual beauty. Perhaps he is
shown at his best in both phases in the
opening chapter of Gallions Reach,

It is difficult to tear any part from
its content, but perhaps this will illus-
trate:

“The steamer moved upriver at t half-
speed, and the sounds of life fell with
the sun. The shores grew blurred. The
quiet was the dusk. .The ship itself was
hushed, and her men about their duties
appeared at a -task spectrally, out of
nowhere. She*might have been trying to
reach her destination unobserved. The
tired air spilling over. the _steamer’s
bows hardly reached. the bridge. The
bridge caught the last of the light, and
a trace Of anger that flushed the murk
banked in the west, to which the ship
was moving, was reflected in the face
of an officer there, and gave him the
distinction of a being exalted and stern.
He was superior, and seemed to . be
brooding down over some passengers sit-
ting in a group on the indistinct fore-
deck. They were murmuring in con-
versation, with a child asleep on a shaw!
beside one of the chairs.

““Yellow glims appeared low in the
shadows that were Kent and Essex.
That. day of summer had gone. Only
the wan river and the sky remembered
it. A figure rose from the group on the
foredeck, and his voice, surprisingly up-
lifted, was as if he had been compelled
to an important announcement, ‘There’s
the Great’ Smoke. London. ‘London’.”

The book takes its name from part of
the Thames near London.

Tomlinson has been compared to Con-
rad and Gallions Reach to Lord Jim.
This is a bit farfetched. While the book
is pre-eminently the study of one char-
acter as is Lord Jim, it lacks the force
of that book. And Tomlinson is differ-
ent from,Conrad in his manner of writ-
ing; he a a different quality.

Heretofore he has dealt only in more
or less travel, studies in which he was
[the only character, and at that had to
be derived indirectly. Here he has many
figures to handle and he seems a bit
mechanical in moving them about,
though each is drawn well enough.

sketches or, essays. This is his first long
piece of sustained writing and it often
seems jerky, episodic. a
Gallions Reach is not a great book,
but it is a good one, fine and moving.
It is té be hoped that the author will
move on to one in which the technique
of plot and character is as splendid as
his control. of words, music and imagery.

The Making of Luke-Acts, Dr: Hi. I.
Cadbury ; $3.00, Macmillan.

Dr. Henry J.. Cadbury is, as you doubt-
less know, one of the foremost living

authorities. on the New Testament.

He has now applied to the author of
Luke-Acts, “the principal contributor ta
the New Testament,” his wide knowledge
and his genius for keen analysis.

The third gospeler, as he points out,
wrote more than a quarter of the New
Testament—more than Paul in his thir-
teen epistles or John in the five writings
that commonly bear his name, It seems
strange that the author of so vast a
body of writing’ should have had so
little attention paid to his personal his-
tory, since it must have very largely
affected his writings. This deficiency
Dr. Cadbury corrects in his new book,
The Making of Luke-Acts.

The work gives a graphic picture of
the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the
Apostles in the actual process of mak-
ing. There is a most illuminating dis-
cussion of the four chief factors that
entered into the work (1) the materials
available to the author, (2) contempo-
rary literary methods which affected his



ests, (4) his, purpose in writing®

This uniisual but’very sound approach,
handled with scholatly care, revéals a
great deal that is news for example, that
Luké was-a city'man, writing from the
urban point of View.

to sell the 5000°copies of the first edition.
Its wit, realism and simplicity were be-
yond thie comprehension of its own day,
a day comitted to the artificialities of
# kind of poetry against which Heine
rebelled. Not until a new generation
“had arisen did it attain its reputation.
Then, carried on the wings of the melo-
dies which great composers fitted to its
words, it became known throughout the
world.

Mr. Browne does not ‘gotice the coin-.
cidence that his biography appears in this
centennial year; but the fact adds to
one’s pleasure in reading this, the best
biography ‘of .Heinrich Heine that has
been written in English. To say this is
not, however, to indulge in extravagant
praise, for it has been preceded by but
two “Lives”: William Sharp's, published
nearly 40 years ago, excellent for its day,
written by an exquisite -poet- and. subtle
critic, but of course without knowledge ||;
of the new: facts regarding Heine brought
to light by later research; and Michael
Monohan’s (1911), which is pretty nearly
* negligible. Mr. Browne has thus had the
advantage of an, almost clear field. In
the labors of investigation in the great
mass of materials brought together by
German scholars he has had as a “re-
search assistant” Miss Elsa Weihl. His
sympthetic understanding of the Jewish
temperament, already evinced in his
“Short History of the Jews,” stands him
in good stead.

Poet and Dreamer

The motif which runs through this
biography,
that is too appropriate’ to, be amiss, is
that Heine “never belonged.” In Ger-
many he stood apart from his country-
men (in the political sense) by the fact
that they were not his countrymen (in a
racial sense). In France the same fact
separated him from Frenchmen, rein-
forced now by the fact that he was born
German. In his early years he experi-
enced the horror and degradation of
ghetto life: immured in ignoble slums
into which Jews were locked each night
and all of Sundays, an outcast race, de-
spised, ill-treated, insulted, oppressed. As
a young man he was drawn into sym-
pathy with the Roman Catholic Church
and froin time to time throughout his
life there were rumors that he -had_be-
come a Roman Catholic. He did, it is |
true, submit to baptism, but under the

necessity of outward conformity in order |

to obtain a degree. As a result he was
despised: by many Jews without winning
the respect of any Christians. He “be-
longed” . to neither communion. More-
over, there raged in his nature a conflict
between’ Hellenism and Hebraism, between
the Greek ideal of beauty and the -He-
braic ideal of conduct.. The fair divin-
ities of old religion beckoned to him, but
in the nineteenth century, the old gods
were “in exile” (as he pictured them in
his celebrated prose fantasy) ; the speak-
ing waters of Apollo's shrine were
quenched ; and the voice of the Nazarene
spoke to him as to all men. And so it
came about that he “belonged” neither
to Hellas nor to Palestine.

The sense of conflict in Heine's career
is strengthened by witnessing the strug-
gies between the poet’s lower and higher
faculties. His family, misunderstanding
rather than ypnaffectionate, tried to force
him into metiers totally unsuited to him.

‘His millionaire uncle assisted him finan-
cially for years and was, on the whole, |
singularly patient with his eccentricities.
But Heine was unfitted to be a merchant | —

ment, but actually he saw: comparatively

-llittle of them and lived on the whole a

lonely life... ;

He outlived the poses «and. posturing

of his youth, the Byronic: attitude, the
sentimentality; and much of his. most
brilliant prose and some of his most ex-
quisite verse "was written in his later
year_of, poverty and suffering. The latest
phase is the most admirable roe of
life.
Mr. -Browne has. with no little art
brought together the varied strands of
this life story. If there is some mo-
notony in the telling, that was unayoid-
able, for Heine’s career is a repetition of
wanderings from place to piace,- rebel-
lions, disappointments, renewed hopes,
fame that brought him no peate, renewed
and ever bitterer disillusions. As a,man
he was weak and forlorn; as a genius he
rose above his limitations, singing the.
world’s loveliest song. The biographer
has fashioned a tangible and credible fig-
ure. We are made to see the poet on
each step of his journey from the squalid
ghetto of Duseldorf to the “mattress
grave” in Paris.



Bertrand Russell

C@NTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“Russell -believes that the chief ob-
stacles to a ‘better utilization of our new
power over nature are all psychological
—that is to say, man is so possessed by
fear, hatreds, envies and the like that he
is unable to break with a ‘social system
that obviously works injustice to many.
To overcome this false psychology Rus-
sell preaches a reform of seducation. “All
that is needed is to give men a_ just
conception of what constitutes their own
happiness.” = :

“Russell is not’ a narrow specialist.
He writes: ‘Although a rational pursuit
of personal happiness, if it were com-
mon, would suffice to regenerate the
world, it is not probable that so reason-
able a motive will alone prove sufficiently
powerful. Emotions of expansive affec-

‘\tion, generosity and pleasure in creation

also have their part to play. There is no
one key; politics, economics, psychology,
education all act and react, and no one
of them can make any great or stable ad-
vance. without the help of the others.
Narrow specialization cannot produce a
philosophy which shall be of service to
our age.

“Tt is necessary to embrace all life and
all science—Europe, Asia and America,
physics, biology and pyschology. The task
is almost superhuman, All that the pres-
ent author can do is to make some men
conscious of the problem ‘and of the kind
of directions in which solutions are to be
sought.

“A modest philosopher is Bertrand
Russell. And perhaps for that very rea-
son his ideas are worth thinking about.”

Will Durant Gives High’ Praise

In his Story of Philosophy Will Dur-.
ant calls him the “youngest and most
virile of the Europeon thinkers of our
generation.” He goes on to say that
the Great War which divided his work
into two periods “destroyed all his hopes,
loosened all his friendships, and broke
amost all the threads of. his once shel-
tered and aristocratic life.” Then he
quotes Russell as saying that “better the
world should perish than that I or any
other human being should believe a lie;
that is the religion’ of thought in whose
scorching flames the eee of the world
is being burnt away.”

Mr. Durant sums him up with “all in
all a very lovable man; capable of ‘th
profoundest metaphysics and the subtlest’
mathematics and yet speaking always
simply with the clarity which comes only
to those who are sincere; a man ad-
dicted to fields of thought that usually
dry up the springs of feeling, and yet
warmed and illumined with pity, full of
an almost mystic tenderness for man-

kind.” © “Ty

toms took place before and after the

dance, such as the sacrificing of a
lamb and the “ale feast.”

,The Sword dance did not die out as
did. the Morris, but is still practiced in
the North of England today. In both
dances the ritual mode is predominant.
The men who take part in them are not

individuals, but part of a whole.

From the May Day festivals of both
sexes come social dancing and the
present country dance, once popular;
but tlow supreseded by the waltz, the
polka and modern dances. €

“Tt was all through that great genius,
Cecil Sharp,” said Mrs. Hobbs, in ex-
planation of this discovery.. “Although
a lawyer by profession, he was a
trained musician, and recognized the
true art of the folk-songs when he first
heard them. He saw at once that they
represented the culmination of ‘rhyth-
mic expression. His method “was not
simply to revive the old, but to create
new forms on the basis of the old ma-
terial. He attempted to spread his

“These three crosses represent what
the Christian religion has to say about
pain. The old theory that pain and
suffering are the direct results of rebel-
lion against God is now held in little
repute by intelligent people. There are
still some, however, who believe'in its
authenticity. When _ suddenly afflicted
with misfortune, they cry out, “What
have I done?’ One law always holds
true: God works the universe in se-
quences; He does not change His
mind about antecedents and conse-
quences. One of these sequences is
plain: rebellion against Him means
some kind of loss to the rebel. This
represents the first or retributive cross.

Then Comes Reformation

“The second is a reformation cross.
It is made of the same hard wood and
the same suffering issues from _ it.
There is no experience in life as im-

portant as our reaction to an experi-]| %

ence. We must acquire an attitude of
mind which will extract spiritual good
from all pain which may come to us,
We should regard our attitude toward

this pain as a practical problem sq that | ¥

we may extract the good for interpreta-
tion.

“The third is the cross of redemp-.

tion, which enables all of Christ’s fol-
lowers to share its power.
bol of God’s desire that we should be
dependent upon Him for our spiritual
pleasure. This is one of the facts of
Christianity which.distinguishes it from
other religions: the God of Christian-
ity shares the pain of His followers.
“If God has ordained pain for us, let
us be sure that we choose to bear the
right cross—the cross of redemption.”

* Wednésday, November 16, the ‘Seniors

«,whitewashed the Sophamores, 5- 0. Thett.

“warm rainy weather made the playing



sluggish and wild. Rushes- down the
field ended nowhere, ‘although most*of

‘ the playing was around 19380’s 25 -yard
line.

Amoig the Sefiors, Mat Fowl-
er’s game stood out; she made several
pretty rts down the field.and almost
always finished with a goal, although
she was playing center forward. Loines
played in her. usual good form, and
"28’s defense was better organized than
that of ’30. Dikeman, put in towards
the end of the second half, immediately
made a goal.

~ 30 was hindered by the fact that ‘its
forward line was too slow, except for
Wilson; but in spite of her speed she
could not get through the opposing de-
fense for a goal. Hirschberg and Smith
did well in the defense, the one by her
accurate and stalwart strokes, the other

by her alertness in marking her op-,

ponent.

Juniors Win, 3-2
The Juniors registered a 3-2 victory

‘over their hard-fighting sister class last

Wednesday. The game started by a
beautiful goal from the circle’s edge by
Hobart. This was followed by a se-
ries of attacks and ‘runs from either
team. ’31's’ swift wing, Adams, car-
ried the ball down several times to no
avail; and the smooth playing of Friend
and Wills rolled up two goals for ’29
in that half. During the second half
the playing was more even, each team
making one goal. In spite of the close-
ness of the score, the victory was clear-
ly ’29’s, and most of the playing took
place on ’31’s 25-yard line.

Line-ups: 1929—B. Humphreys,

Fowler Fights Sophs
-to a Four-Two Finish

Despite grey skies, a heavily over-
cast sky, and themselves, the Sopho-
mores and Seniors played off their last
class game on Monday. 1930 went
down before 1928 by a score of -4-2.
Considering the condition of the field
the game was pretty good, and, as in-
dicated by the score, not particularly
one-sided. During most of the first
half the ball remained near 30’s goal;
there were a great number of corners.
The Sophomores made no score, the

Seniors two points—in spite of Hirsch-|

berg’s good playing, both in defense
and offénse. Although she seemed to
have the whole field to herself once
‘or twice, the rest of the team was not
up to her. Even Longstreth, who
usually stars, made only one goal, and

.that in the second half. Fowler played

a fighting game for the Seniors, par-
ticularly toward the eend, when she
made two goals.

Line-up:

1928—A. Bruere, F. Bethel, C. Field,
J. Stetson, M. Pettit, J. Huddleston,
M. Barrett, H. Tuttle, M. Fowler, B.

The game between the Freshmen

a score of 2-1, started by being scrappy

Varsity Better in Second Half
Although Varsity &new it was beaten,

it was not ready to give in. When the
second ‘half started the team fought
harder than ever,~and if they were not

hold the blues down to five, instead of
eight. goals, Bruere regained her accus-
d*brilliance, and made some excellent
stops Our forwards had not much
chance to. distinguish themselves, al-
though Tuttle and Guiterman showed
considerable ingenuity in getting past
their guards. Our backs, however, were
uniformly good. Hamilton was playing
against her compatriot, Adams, and when

was the reputation of her opponent that
put her on her mettle, for Cicely certainly
played better than ever before.

Lopinions.” She tried night school, but
there she had no opportunity to express
her feelings when they taught things
contrary to her beliefs. Then she came
here, and found that the teachers would
listen, “even to nonsense.” And they
help by showing the other side of all the
questions that bothered her. Here she
found that there was such a thing as
science, poetry, rhythmic dancing, music.
“I found the key to those things, here.”
She «vas particularly pleased at this op-
portunity to meet some of the winter
students, because, she said, “To us the
winter student is an ideal. We hear
about you, and think about you, but you
never seem very real, or solid to us.”

- Sara Fridgant then™spoke on “What
the Summer School meant to me as a
Union Worker.” She said ‘that many
girls feel that they personally are onlv
an accident in industry; that they will
not remain. there permanently. But when
they find out that there is such a thing
as the industrial class, they want to do
something to solve its problems.

After the regular’ speakers Ada Rosen-
feldmade the point that it was often a
real, sacrifice for the girls to give up two
‘months’ work to come here, but the fact
that they do it shows how very much
education means to them.

Pola cont Tells of Advantages
Sara Greenburg then told her own ex-

perience. She is a foreigher who came
to this country when she was seventeen.

| She had gone to school in her own coun-

try, but never in America. “I have not
words to express how much coming to
the Summers School meant to me, in in-
creasing my understanding of — and
in the contacts I made.”

Undergraduate Gets Much
Helping Summer School

Elizabeth Stewart,
the Bryn Mawr suntmer school, was
the speaker in Chapel on Friday, No-
vember 18, —

“The purpose of,the summer school,”
said Miss Stewart, “is to give to girls
in industrial work the oppoftunity of
becoming familiar ~with “literary
jects, and to interest them in the eco-
nomic problems of the,day. The girls
must: have had at least two years’ ex-
perience in’ the industry and must be
supporting. themselves, Their nation-
alities are varied, bit most of the for-

eign born students are Russian. About
| half are union and half non-union
workers.

“The undergraduate’ in summer

school is literally a slave of all work.
Her initial task is to keep the vases in
Pembroke filled with flowers. Then
she may do corrective work, which may
prove very interesting in many cases;
and finally she may type.
regardless of whether or not she has
ever seen a typewriter.

A Course in Character Study
“Two questions are usually asked of

summer school workers: what: is _ it
like? and what does one get: out of it?
In answer to the first: the summer

school resembles a course in character

study. The students are anfazingly in-
teresting, both as ‘types. and as_indi-
viduals. Their aim is to make America



primarily a Communistic nation. Views

as stimulating as these afford. great

possibilities for the discussion group,
since there is scarcely an indystry
mentioned about which someone cannot
cite an occasion of personal experience.

“Teaching , swimming,” said’ Miss
Stewart, “affords a great insight into





character. The Russians are, for the
most part, the most ambitious and dar-
ing. In fact some difficulty was discov-
ered in keeping the more spirited from
voluntary drowning.

“Of the second question—what ‘dges
one get out of summer school—mugh
might be said. It is sufficient to say,
however, that one gets the acquaint-
ance and, if lucky, the friendship of the
industrial worker, which would doubt-
less be impossible under more formal

conditions.”

bility and humor; the French give a
feeling for the logical; and the Scandi-
navians intensity. “Such a_ school
makes it necessary to develop personal
friendship and co-operation. The
world must have co-operation, not com-
petition, and this international co-oper-
ation must be based on an ideal of hu-
mility. Each nation must not consider
itself a chosen people, but must feel
that it has a special contribution to
the world and is therefore limited.

Mr. Mannike ended by showing us
pictures of this new college and urg-
ing us to join it for the vacation term.
These vacation courses are from the
16th of July to the 1st of September
and the lectures are given in English,
as that is the language that all want
to learn. The cost is only two dollars
a day, including tuition and lodging
and many excursions.



Introspective Harvard

The well-known Harvard superiority
complex, so long commented upon that
it often takes on the appearance of an
inferiority complex, leads the Harvard
Crimson to suggest that something need
be done to break up the present align-
ment which finds on one side Harvard
people, and on the other “a majority
of the rest of the world.” This the
daily agrees is “hardly a satisfactory di-
vision of opinion.” To bring an end’ to’
a smug attitude and an unsatisfactory
situation, the student paper suggests that
“either Harvard men through a tolerant
and intelligent contact with men of other
institutions must. come to the conviction
that all good things are not centered in
Cambridge, or they must sooner or later
school themselves to -an open-minded
acceptance’ of, manners and methods
strange, perhaps, but measured. by a dif-

Eat-at Night to Get Fat,-
; in Morning to Reduce
To reduce eat most of yous food in
the morning. To gain weight, eat
heavily in the evening. Frederick Hoel-
zel, of the physiological laboratories of
the University of Chicago, gives that
rule. It is a conitiusion based on five
hundred days of experimental fagting,
including a period of forty-one days
without food. ‘Mr. Hoelzel also says:
“Hunger is just an urge to eat like

occurs about fifteen hours after eating.
Hence, the average person is hungry
while he’s asleep and doesn’t know. it.
“Hunger can be trained to be less
urgent by ignoring it, and learning to
fast. This isa physical stimulus.”—

Opposes College alee.

The principal fault with American col-
leges and universities today is the time
wasted on examinations, quizes and
grades, is the belief of Oscar. J. Falnes
instructor of history in Washington
Square Ccllege of New York University.

“All or at least much of the mechani-
cal drudgery should be taken out of the
American universities, inasmut h as it has
been kept out of European institutions,”
Mr. Falnes said, ‘

He advocates conducting a university
along the European method, which has
no final examinations, quizes or grades,
but has a general exatWnation at the end

of the term in which the student is ex-.

That was W. E. “Pussyfoot” Johnson’s
dispensation to the college man, as re-
ported in the Harvard Crimson. Mr.
Johnson. evidently has faith, for he
lightly dismissed the uncovering of a
still in an Iowa State University fra-
ternity. house+ as insignificant when
compared to the “four hundred or five
hundred colleges in the country that
have no stills.”

lowa State University is less com-
placent, and while several members of
the Sigma Chi fraternity are under
arrest on charges of maintaining a still
in their cellar, and its alcoholic prod-
uct in their rooms, other fraternity
heads are making clear that liquor is
found on Beh most ideally regulated
campuses.” They deny, of course, that
the situation is as serious as “commonly
held.” :

Purdue students will have oppor-
tunity to-survey the liquor problem
from a more abstract viewpoint some
time before the opening of Congress,
when Senator William E. Borah meets
in debate on the campus some’ nation-
ally known proponent of modification,
in a discussion of the Eighteenth
amendment. The debate has ‘been ar-
ranged by. the Purdue public speaking
department.



Whatever the degree, student drink-
ing continues to demand the attention
of presidents and of Courts. When
Dr. William Mather Lewis recently
was inaugurated as head of Lafayette
College, he lost no time in announcing
that “There is no place at Lafayette
for men addicted to the use of liquor,
and we do not intend to have them
here. SEE Sa

This workers’ school has brought
together, for an interchange. of ideas
and views, a group of women from or-
ganized and unorganized industries in
the country. We have come together
to-gain in this short period of time an
incentive for individual and group
thinking, to study and analyze’ the
problems that present themselves in
our every-day work. .

Our study of economics makes it
possible for us to ‘attack our industrial
problems and intelligently to apply
reason to their solution, rather than
mere emotion. From our science ex-
periments we get some inkling of the
worlds about us and our relation to
them. Our history gives a more vivid
feeling of our western world and our
place in it by comparing and contrast-
ing it with the old world. Our psy-
chology is teaching us about our
minds and bodies, how to use them
both more efficiently. As for Eng-
lish—all of our other studies depend
upon the knowledge and understanding
)of our own speech, So if these studies.
are necessary for our development, of
course English is necessary, though
which we are able to pursue them.

It is our hope that we may carry
back from our. summer experiences at]
Bryn Mawr to our fellow-workers at
home the fruits of all our efforts and
labors, and that what we ‘have accom-
plished may continue to urge 4s for-
ward in our work when we are no
longer here. ce i
