“The Bolsheviks,” said Brent* Allinson,
speaking in Goodhart Hall on Saturday
evening, March. 9, “maintain that Amer-
ican universities are, the last and irivinc-
ible stronghold of bourgeois -ctilture.”
Speaking, supposedly, on a subject en-
titled, “Behind the Face of Bolshevism,”
Mr, Allinson went on in a ‘vein, described
by Dr. Gray, who introduced him, -as.
elaborations on the theme of “The Vaga-
bondage Incidental to the Acquisition. of
a Social Philosophy.” Mr. Allinson is: a
young journalist who, apparently, had
always wanted to see the world; he has
just returned from a year spent in seeing
Soviet Russia,
One of his most interesting experi-
ences was in the district of Mingralia,
in Transcaucasian Russia, and approxi-
mately on the location of ancient Colchis.
There he had gone’ to find what truth
. there was in the legend of Jason and the
Golden Fleece. A very old custom amon
the mountaineers, he found, was to mine
gold by means of sluicing the currents
—of—the—mountain—streams,—and-running-++
’.the water over: a series of sheep skins.
The gold was: thiis caught in the fleece,
and when. the skins were later burned,
the gold was collected in vats. ~It is
from such homely practices that our most
delightful myths are developed! An expe-
dition sent by the Bolshevik Department
‘of Education to Kutaos, in the highlands
of Swanatia, found this means of mining
still in use today. The population of
some 10,000 people Ys cut off entirely
from the outer world:for a good part of
the year; the expedition was®sent~ to
.make . films of their life‘and customs, to
’ furnish a kind of*object geography les-
son in the Bolshie schools of more cen-
tral Russia. The expedition, incidentally,
- also found that these people, though
Greek Catholics in name, were still wor-
shipping a goddess, Dali, to whom they
sacrificed cattle at stated times! These
people had never really been Russianized.
and their language (a conglomerate of
Russian, Tartar, Greek and others), had
- probably never been reduced to wfiting!
“It is this sort of place, cut off from
_the world, and known as a “Death Vil-
lage,” which, to Mr. Allinson, represents
a strong influence on the typical Russian
soul. “One feels’ that it is a helpless
country that invites tyranny and patiently

Dr. Andrews succeeded Woodrow Wil-
son in the: Bryn Mawr Department of
History in 1889. Wilson had taught ‘all
courses in the departments of History,
Professor An-
drews was the first man to rule the His-
tory department.when it set up by itself,
minors, post-majors and graduate ‘stu-
dents. A member of the faculty who
studied under him at Bryn Mawr reports
that he was adored by his students and
all his sayings , faithfully transcribed in
their notes. He made a romantic mar-
occ with an alumna of the college, and
the -two dogwood trees on the hill were
planted* for his “two children who were
born here, pink for John, and white for
Ethel.
In 1908 Professor went to Johns, Hop-
kins, where he remained until 1910, when
he became Farnam Professor at Yale. It
is peculiarly appropriate that the should
have that position, as he was born in
Connecticut, and has made a special study
of its early history. His first book, pub-
lished in 1889, was called “River-towns
of Connecticut.”
Dr... Andrews’ special.field ‘of. study,
however, is\ the one on which he will
speak on Saturday evening. He has in-
vestigated all the materials relating to the
Colonial period of American history
which are preserved in the British Mu-
seum, and the State papers in the Public
Record Office in. London. He has pub-
lished. two volumes on Colonial Self-Gov-
ernment in the American Nation Series,
and his Colonial Backgrounds af the
American Revolution, Which appeared in
1924, contain the most modern develop-
ments on the causes of the American
Revolution. It will be no old and out-
worn point of view which Professor An-
drews will set forth on Saturday night,
but the latest conclusions of modern his-
‘torical scholarship, as regards the hidden
springs of the American movement for
independence.

Prevention of Disease
In Chapél on Friday morning Dr. Alice
Hamilton spoke of -certain poison men-
aces~in the industrial world. Several
years ago the bath-tub trade was one of
the worst offenders in this respect. Lead
was, used for the inside coating. of the
tubs an#“the fatal lead poisoning was a
common disease among. the men who
worked on such a job.. Recently a-sec-
ond investigation of the bath-tub industry
has been made, and the conditions were
found to be much better. Leadless
enamel is being used more extensively ;
indeed, one- -third of the manufacturing
plants are using it, while the remaining
concerns that still us¢ lead are yery care-
ful to protect theit employees from its
disastrous effects.
Whenever we manage to get rid of one
industry another-one pops up. Now- a-
days people are using blue, green, red
or. yellow~ enameled stoves in their
kitchens. This enameling process is an
easy one: the enamel—which contains
lead—is sprayed on the surface of the

THE INTERNATIONALISTS
Who can ever accuse us agdin
of lacking the international: point
of view? We are becoming posi-
, tively steeped in exoticism. Two
weeks ago we had an Italian
week, the,mind and face of Mus-
solini, front and back view. And
last week it was. Russia; the Dun-
can Dancers, Mr. Brent Allison in
« boots and embroidery, and, for
those who journeyed in town for
it, modern Russian songs at the
Society of Contemporary Music.
It comes home to_us after this
_.thereugh—course—in_dictatorships |-
‘and Soviets that one is much like’
.the other. But, perhaps, that is’the
secret of the true internationalist
point of view.
At any rate, let us not stop-here.

sUPPOSE NOBODY CARED?
Any simple soul will admit that
a college has a mind. It’s only logi-
cal after all. But the question we
feel impelled to ask- is does the
college know its mind? All evi-
dence seems contrarywise.
Last year we voted emphatical-
ly in favor of musical services.
Not only assent but even enthus-
iasm was detected. And what has
become of this enthusiasm? Last
Sunday .there Were a sum total of
13 chairs filled in the music room,
This was a rather typical gather-
ing.
for the choir to practice twice a,
week for these services, for Mr.’
W illoughby to select organ pro-
grams. Why should these elabo-
rate motions be gone through if
nobody cares?
Inefficiency seems to have crept
in somewhere. Evidently the col-
lege has now decided that it does
not care for musical services; but
its official vote still sanctions
them. If the college has a mind
little minute) it almost seems as
though it might be made up. Let
us either put thumbs. up or
thumbs down for Mr. W- jitoughby
and the choir, instead of keeping
them’ cruelly suspended in the
present luminous but indubitably
vacuous void.

It is. unfortunate in determining the
methods and policies.to be pursued in this
work that the motive employed in the
past has often been the medieval, puni-
tive one of “taking the conceit out” of the

on the false assumption that the Rhinies
will be conceited, whereas the end-of-the

prevent the Freshmen from becoming con-

All week we had been planning to. see,
Greta Garbo in “The Wild Orchid,” and
hen on Saturday it seemed too chilly
somehow for hot-house plants, even wild
ones. So-we remained at hone. and
wrote ourselves this little story:
The Savage Canary or
What Happened to a Couple of
_ Wild Orchids
There was once an untamed canary,
nasty,’ solitarish, brutish, and vile.:.
he livéd in a “feld"0 ‘of wild’ orchids, all
swaying in the wind. For hours he
would sit on the lowest branch of a wild
grapevine, and watch their skirts blow up
to their knees. .For he was a wild bird,
and yellow all through. He had very
small eyes.
One day. the canary v telt his cone and
after that he-grew -uncontrollable. . All
day. he would sit on the lips of a wild
orchid singing to her: “When I was a
bird in a gilded cage, and you were a
Christian slave.” The ‘orchid blushed
pink’ with pleasure, just the color that
florists like, and the orchid next in line
turned a malignant green, that lovely
unhealthy color that looks so well’ witht |
lilieS of the valley. But the pink orchid,
growing pinker, murmured: “Never have
I accepted the attention of less than a,
millionaire or a wild Prince-of-Wales.”
“Last year,” said the green orchid,
“there were a couple of wild Arch-Dukes
growing in this very field.. But they fell
for a couple of cheap gardenias. Never
trust an Arch-Duke,” said the green
orchid. :
“Remember Saraieve.” said the pink
-drechid,-who-was-a~Bosnia-Herzegovinian,
besides being an orchid.
‘“Ha!.Ha!” echoed the. savage canary,
who was yellow all through. “Never
trust a camry, unless you have plenty of
oiled paper.” And he flew away from
there, after pecking a couple: of round
holes in the lip of the” pink orchid.
Next day both orchids were found
dead, as orchids usually are in the morn-
ing, with a long corsage pin through each
of their hearts. ©

But she said to the West girl: “T agree

Said the girl from West to the girl from
East,
With a couple of piercing moans,
“This ‘piece of fish, to say the least,
Is full of dead men’s. bones.”
The girl from East she bent her brow,
And she yp and spake and said,

Character education is more than pro-

Sensitiveness---to—the feelings of others;
a capacity to enjoy beauty, spiritual in-
sight and tnderstanding should also be
cultivated. _Becauseso many forces in

_ Book Review
Wings of Wax, by Janet Hoyt. ' (Pub-
lished by J. H. Sears & Co.
for review.) .
Wings of Wax.is a very new book—
“But the problem
with which it, attempts to deal is fatt
becomjng hackneyed—the problem of co-
education in a great’ Middle-Western
university. We have had many books
on this fascinating subject, which offers
such an opportunity for the: earnest to
expatiate on the weaknesses of a young
* America and a younger generation, and
for the less earnest to indulge in a’
slight raciness.
Wings of Wax has, as a, matter of
fact, : the portrayal of a char-
the portrayal of a situation.
nw +d the author, who, the
publishers: say, has been dean of women
in a well-known wtniversity; she has. at-
tempted both with sincerity. But her.
interpretation is second-rate, and her
style does nothing to improve it.
~ The character isa young man, stc-
cessful, golden-haired and “fascinating to
women,” who is called at the age of
thirty-eight to be president of a great,
that is a big, State university. His only
qualifications for the position seem to be
a certain slippery enthusiasm, a belief in
change as the sovereign remedy for all
evils, and fatuous self-confidence. With
these attributes, and his golden hair, he
wins the hearts of the students, and sets
about reforfhing. the educational system
of the institution. His great idea is “per-
sonal contact,” You see the possibilities.
Moreover he is handicapped-in his enter-
‘prise by selfishness, unwillingness to take
advice, inability’ to grasp the simplest
financial problems, laziness, mental and
physical, and what one is tempted to call
a complete lack of human decency. No
sane trustees would select such:a man
‘for-a-responsible position... No one_-wants
to read a long novel, to be convinced that
- an incompetent man cannot run.a_ uni-
versity, much less reform it.
The co-educational problem is treated
The difficulties
inherent. in the impersonality of large
numbers, the impossibility of controlling
or regulating such an inchoate mass in
, matters of personal conduct, the question
of fraternities and sororities, the double
standard—all are discussed, though some-
what crudely. One gets the general im-
pression that the problems ‘of co-educa-
tion, or any education, are wholly a
matter’ of sex morality, and the only
dangerous consequences to be feared aré
disease, ‘d@unken marriages and“ ‘illegiti-
mate children. Such “peripeties” would
make any discussion melodramatic and
unbalanced.
One thing is interesting. The author
combats vigorously the old argument that
co-education is more normal than segre-
gation. Until a few years ago girls who
lived at home rarely saw men.. Now
they do, of course. But the kind of asso-
ciation provided by a large co-educational
institution is not really normal. Not only
does it involve a kind of sub-conscious
battle, -morning, noon and night, but also
it twists the normal outlook, especially
of girls. The great majority, ‘the author
says, “never know men socially.” They
see them’ constantly, only to turn their,
backs in bitterness, -These girls would
be better off by themselves where they
_were— not constantly
where masculine attention did not loom
up as so large and important a part of
life.
There is no doubt that Janet Hoyt,
g Whoever she be. knows whereof she
speaks. Her background of professors
and‘students is accurate but undigested,
like snap-shots run-together into a mov-
ing picture. Furthermore the whole
thing is appallingly one-sided. From be-
ginning to end there is not a book, not a
class, not a lecture. Plenty of fraternity
houses, but not the shadow of a library.
What, after all, are universities for?
Perhaps we have discussed too seri-
ously a book which- we should’ hesitate
to recommend to a reader who had not a
great deal of leisure time. But we were
left with a feeling of kindness towards
the author. -At least, after creating such
a. contemptible protagonist “as President
Marston, and making him the agent of
five or six tragedies, she had the grace to
finish him: off with an automobile acci-
dent on the last page. He left a sweet
wife, and four charming children..

Since sand-blasting must: be used to clean

ployers and insurance companies, formed
in the interest of safety with the pur- |
pose of limiting accidents and of pre-
venting diseases and poisons, They will
appoint a committee to study any new
poisons that come along. ‘ Thorfigh their
efforts Accident Compensation laws were
passed. These have served as a stimu- |
lus to theo. to take PFeCan., 5.
against accidents and poisons.
_ “We are in the process of assuming a
new attitude toward poisons in industries,
although we are also every day getting
new poisons,” concluded Dr, Hamilton.
“This means that eternal vigilance and
research work are necessary. I hope
very much,that ‘in ‘this new administra-
tion the appropriation will be large
enough to allow us to catry pn this
work.” *

The intermission offered a space for
meditation on body mechanics and antici-
pation of a change in impressions sof
Revolutionary Russia. The dynamics and
the stirring crudity of the second and
totally different part of the, program made
an agreeable shock. The interpretation
of the vivid and symbolic episode seemed
even more natural to the young Russian
dancers; the still simple, but now more
mechanical, movements were besides en-
hanced by the songs which the girls sung.
strenuously in harsh and untrained but
very. effective voices. The dancing, the
songs, “the blood-colored costumes: and
the vibrant quality of the Russian words
combined to create an interpretation of
more emotional value than .a¢tual beauty |.
though much more exciting than the ‘no-
notony,of the smooth Grecian figures.
The martial Warshavianka, Revo]ution-
ary Russia, embodied the warlike spirit
that the Polonaise had missed; the Fu-
neral Song by Revolutionary prisoners in
Siberia was confusing in its movements,
but well sung. The most dramatic and
impressive Russian pictures were those of
the Trilogy—Labor, Famine and Labor
Triumphant; - Famine was darkesomely
ghastly in along, gray and hooded robe.
Two other portrayals of work were
danced: The:Blacksmith and Dubinush-
ka, The Workman’s Song, both were ani-
mated in their mechanical element.
The Russian Girl Scout Song closed
the evening with the tour de--force of
the program, a spirited little figure tripped
out by the youngest of the troupe; it
was. encored with enthusiasm and brought
dewn the house in vigorous applause.
The above was contributed by one of
the Freshmen competing for the Edi-
torial Board of the College News.

Mr. Allinson then gave a short his-’
tory of the Russian people since the
twelfth a elaborated upoti the
| tyranriical rifle"of- the prices of Moscow.
He ,emphasized the fact that ‘the Rus+
sians had never had either'a Reformation
or 4 Renaissance—two of the greatest in-
fluences upon: the history of Western
Europe. “Russia’s emancipation of the
individual from authority never occurred |
until 1917. This fact explains every-
thing.’ It is a curious paradox in Bolshie
Russia, that the most ultra-modern
theories are being applied to a ‘people
who, under the Surface, are of a semi-
“eiatic~ soul, This’ makes the whole
thing “vc. ¥ hard: ‘S. waderstand.”
In working’ out these theories, the au-
thorities are attempting to exclude all
Western thought and commerce. They
are doing their best to make Russia an
utterly self-dependent State. In their
maps; ‘incidentally, Russia is always col-
ored red and the rest of the world,- most
appropriately, is left in darkness!
Technologically, only, are the Russians
interested in the outer world. Because
‘America seems to them to-represent the
ideal of all efficiency, they admire us—
although they also fear: us as their
strongest potential competitor; The new
Russians, it seems, have a kind of naive
worship of the machine, since, for them,
it symbolizes the overthrow of the old
regime and all it stood for.
Most things in modern Russia seem,
to the foreigner, pretty inefficient, and
unnecessarily complicated. Mr. Allin-
son explained this by the fact that the
great masses of the Russian people are
so terribly ignorant that: things miust be
checked over several times to insure that
they will finally be correctly performed,
This. applies, even—to-.the eollection—of
'| tickets on jthe Moscow trolley car$!
Poor Living Conditions“
The, living conditions in Moscow are:
rather uncomfortable, , according to our
‘ie had been saved from the wréck of
}-nice..apartments-on **- ¢-
standards. A whole family is assigned
to.one room; in Mr. Allinson’s case, 14
families were lodgéd in an- apartment
originally meant for four people. He}
cited.ore case in which a girl, who lived
‘in @)room with her. mother and sister,
was forced to sleep on the grand piano
former and more expensive home. This
overcrowding” is due to the fact that,
when Moscow. was made the new capital
of the nation, there was ‘a great influx
of governmental officials and their fam-
ilies. Very little building has been done
since the war, but, only recently, the
trade unions have begun to erect véry
o> of the
city, for the: fdembers ot their own or-
ganization. a
« These living conditions do not, of
course, make for privacy. However, the
people seem to get on very well with
one another. They are remarkably care-’
free. and cheerful, and they make the.
most of the little that they have.
The difficulties of cooking in limited
quarters are being gradually eliminated
by the establishment of co-operative res-
taurants. On the plates of one of these,
Mr. Allison noticed the slogan, “Without
Communal Eating there can be no Revo; |’
lution!” Russia, it seems, is a, country
of slogans at the present time.
There is very little moral freedom in
Moscow. The atmosphere is rather tense
with a fear that is chiefly of foreign in-
terference in their work; this probably
results from the governmental policy of
isolation. There is always the conscious
struggle for the success of the Bolshevist
program; there is always the menace of
national poverty, should the governiment

tricity is a kind’ of symbolic slave of the
revolution, and they’ expect to employ: it
on such a-grand scale that the nasty work
of coal mining can ‘be compfetely elimi-
nated from the workers’ lives. The radio,
“of course, has had a tremendous influ-
ence on the education ‘of the more ‘iso-
lated peoples. “Aiigypical day’s program,
“vO great.sta-
tions in Moscow, is very interesting.
First comes (instead of setting-up exer-
cises) a lesson in Esperanto, which is to
be the common language of the united
workers of the world. Then comes the
riews of Europe, and lectures on vet-
women, followed by a discussion of the
work of the ‘Communist. party.
‘Through’ the radio office in Moscow,
which has agencies all over the world,
is broadcast all the foreign news which
is printed in a- thousand -Russian-news-
papers. “ It is the sole means by which
the people are kept informed concerning
- the affairs of the outer world, and what
they do hear is, of course, “properly in
terpreted for. workers’ ears.”
- The whole cultural -world is regarded
by~ the Russians~as—divided into three
fronts, which must be continually push-
ed back as their program is “advanced
into the. encircling gloom.” The eco-
nomic front is organized on a basis of
workers’ unions; the political front; is
organized on a pyramidal system. of
Soviet Assemblies; the cultural front is
organized in a series of artists’ unions.
Tig is on these three platforms that’ the
Bolshevists hope, plan and pray to build
up the nation of Lenin’s dreams.

Professor Zimmern’s Geneva
School of International Studies
As. announced in the O. I. F.’s “Invi-
tation to Europe” for. 1929, Professor
Zimmern’s Geneva School of Interna-
tional Studies will hold its sixth sessjen
during the coming July and August ‘in
Geneva, Switzerland. dees
The’ N.S. F, A. feels that the school
can be of real value. to those students
who
Started a few years after the war, at
the request of some European students,
the school -has grown until now it is at-
tended by students from all over the
world. It is Professor Zimmern’s belief
that a study of national psychologies and
of the factors underlying national policies
is of vital importance in understanding
the present-day problem of the co-opera-
| tion-of nations. ‘€ontact-which-the-school
affords’ with students of other countries
throws into relief the differences and sim-
ilarities of national viewpoints.
The work at the school is carried on
by means of lectures and open discus-
sions in thé mornings and dccasional lec;
tures\ in the evening. The afternoons
are left frée and Geneva is a delightful
spot with many facilities for recreation
such as tennis and swimming.
There are two courses offered: ist, the
Advanced Course, which covers the en-
tire eight weeks of the school session ; |”
2d, the Preparatory Course, which con-
sists of four periods of two weeks’ be-
ginning on July 8, July 22, August 5 and i
August 15, respectively. These have been
planned so ds to give a survey of some
aspect of international affairs and may be
taken separately.
The school hopes that students travel-
ing in Europé will find it possible to fit
a two weeks’ stay in Geneva into their
itinerary. Moreover, it may be possible
to arrange an N, S. F. A. tour which will
include a two or four weeks’ stay in Ge-
neva if a group of students should desire
to do so. ° ua

used, and an effort is made to give a-
panoramic view of social work. ° <
The first week is devoted to child wel-
fare. Last year the students went to. the
central office on the first day where they
were instructed by Dr. Kirchwey in crime
and juvenile delinquency. Such a talk
is followed by a trip to the Children’s
Court... After the cases are heard the
Judge explains to the students the rea-
sons for his decisions. In the afternoon
they go to one of the worst reformatories
in the country. There boys from 9 to 2t
are kept in a prison, 100 of them sleep-
ing in a dormitory, with an armed guard
constantly watching them. Their only
recreation is walking around a cinder
yard, having military drill, and pledging
allegiance to their flag. It is not a
method calculated to reform anyone. The
reformatory at Dobb’s Ferry is in strong
contrast to this. There the children. play
around an open campus in track: suits
with no guards. They even have a full-
fledged band which they are very eager

on St. Francois de Sales
The Sunday evening service of the
Bryn Mawr League will be, conducted
“on March 1% by Pere J. A. Baisneée,
professor. of philosophy at the Sul-
: pician Seminary in W ashington. Pere
Baisnee came to this country 20 years
ago to the Sulpician Seminary in Bal-
timore, one of the earliest Catholic
settlements in this country. During
the war he returnéd to France where
»hé served in the ary as “brancardier,”
there losing his arm. Afterwards he
returned to America and has spent the
last few. years in Washington.
Pere Baisnee is particularly inter-
ested in the intellectual relations he-
tween France and-the United States,
and in: his, desire to further their a&
several books,
as well as founding, the Institut Fran-
cais of Washington.
Two years ago Pere Baisnee spoke
at Bryn Mawr about, St.
Aquinas, and is rentembered by-those
who heard him as an interesting and
most charming speaker. This year he
will talk about St. Francois de Sales,
a less known figure,
an important and fascinating one.
Student “Self-Help
and Work in Germany
By Herbert Scurla, Lic. Econ. .
Translated by Martin A. Henry;
Harvard University
NOTE:—Herbert Scurla is a grad-
uate student in political economics. He
heads a large part of the work of the
student Self-Help central office in
Dresden. under. the general direction
of Dr. Schairir. He is coming to
America next year as a work student
to spend two years working as a man-

organization. He is headed for .a po-
litical career, being “democratically and
liberally inclined.

our institutions of learning. There was
