REVOLUTIONARY STRIKE
CONTROLLED BY TROOPS







Common Room, December 17.

Before a large gathering of stu-
dents and Faculty under the auspices
of the International Relations Club,
Dr. Howard L. Gray spoke on The
New Republic in Spain. After a few
introductory remarks on similarities
to be found in the background and
’ causes of the revolutionary republic
in Spain, and conditions in France,
England and Russia at. various times
in’ their history, Dr. Gray explained
how the Republic came into being.

After the war Spain found herself
in a demoralized state, even though
she had not actually taken part in
war. The politicians were corrupt and
self-seeking and a war soon occurred
over the Moroccan question. The re-
sults were disastrous, for in one bat-
tle about 14,000 Spanish troops were
killed. An investigation into this de-
feat’ which would have revealed facts
defamatory to the monarchy, was sum-
marily halted by the appointment of
Rivera as dictator. He pursued a
policy of cleaning up politics, ending
the war, and.restoring prosperity un-
til about 1928. But his failure to end
the dictatorship caused his downfall.

General municipal elections held in
April, 1931, showed the hostile feel-
ing to dictatorship. The monarchy
appeared to favor it and there was lit-
tle support for the throne. Soon -af-
terward, Alfonso abdicated and fled
the country. The revolution was es-
sentially peaceful, and an election was
held under the auspices of a Provi-
sional Government. The result was
an overwhelming defeat for the mon-
archists?

General Zamora was chosen head of
the government. He was a large land-
owner and a Catholic. .A modern con-
stitution was adopted with a single
legislature and a Cabinet responsible
to it. The Catalonians, Basques, As-
turians and Galicians favored a fed-

Jr. Leuba Publishes God or Man?

Professor James H. Leuba, formerly
head of the Psychology Department
at Bryn Mawr, has recently published
a-new book, God or Man, A Study of
the Value of God to Man. It con.
siders the problem of whether certain
experiences which are usually regard-
ed as divine are really of supernat-
ural origin\oer whether they-are not
the - result of natural forces at the
service of man.

Professor Leuba does not try to an-
swer the’ fundamental question of
“God or Man,” by means of philosoph-

‘ical speculation, but with a careful

analysis of the, experiences in consid-
eration.. This book has been generally
praised by critics, among others Al-
dous Huxley, who says that this is a
book “which no student of contem-
porary society can afford to miss.”
Henry Holt and Co. are the publish-
ers. The volume is on sale at the
Book - Shop.

DR. CREIGHTON SPEAKS



Goodhart, December 16.

“Thanks be to. God for His. un-
speakable Gift!” was the text from
St. Paul, which the Right Reverend
Frank Creighton, D.D., Suffragan
Bishop of Long Island, and former
Missionary Bishop. to Mexico, chose
for his address at the Christmas Carol
Service. - Perhaps because the Gift
was unspeakable, the joy felt at
Christmas time is unspeakable, too. It
cannot be explained nor suggested; it
can only be sung. The Bryn Mawr
choir sang it, and sang better than
it has ever sung before.

The choir, directed by Mr. Ernest
Willoughby, and accompanied at the
piano by Mr. Vernon A. Hammond,
entered singing “Oh, Come All Ye
Faithful,” and then “Hark, the Her-
ald Angels Sing.” After prayer, the
Bishop read the first chapter of the
Book of John, and the choir sang
“Here We Come a Wassailing.”” Their
voices were high and light as chil-
dren’s are. Merely a faint undertone
of lower pitch supplemented the mel-
ody and emphasized its monotony, In
“A Babe in Bethlehem’s Manger,’ the
high voices were fewer and sang only
brief phrases that were followed by
the more prolonged, deep responses of
the whole choir. The repeated chorus
was of the same deep tone, and full of
echoing “Noels.” Bach’s Jesu. So
Sweet was more complicated than
either of the two traditional . carols.
The various parts did not sing their
words in unison. Instead, each wasa
beat behind the other, so that at the
end of every phrase, lower notes fol-
lowed like echoes. Through Vaughan
Williams’ gay carol, “On Christmas
Night,” some of the choir softly hum-
med an- accompaniment to the quick,
swinging voices of the rest. Just as
swinging and brave was the rhythm

(b) Would you bear arms for the yof “King Herod and the Cock,” but

United States in the invasion of the
borders of another country?

2. Do you believe that a national
policy of AN AMERICAN NAVY

NONE will insure us against the pos-
sibilities of another great war?
aioe Do you favor government con-
trol of armament and munition indus-
tries?

_ 4.. Do you approve of the conscrip-
tion of capital in time of war, just as
has been our historic procedure .in
drafting man-power in time of war?

5. Do you think that, in the pur-|

suit of the stabilization of Peace, it
would be a wise policy for the United
States to enter the League of Na-
tions? -

Similar polls in European colleges
and-interviews with statesmen abroad
to define the policies of the great pow-
ers of Europe and Asia with regard to
these questions are being sponsored by
The Literary Digest to discover and
report what the leaders of today and
the leaders of tomorrow think now
about the stabilization of peace.

Mr. Bernheimer Shows
Picttines of Arizona



Search for Early Civilization
Leads to Discovery of
Natural Bridges



MONSTER TRACKS FOUND



Deanery, December }|

Mr. Charles L. Bernheimer’s lecture
on The Search for the Earliest Ameri-
van Civilization gave us the feeling
that Arizona was the most beautiful
country in the worid, filled with pos-
sibilities of tremendously interesting
discoveries in the history of. animals
and man. Mr. Bernheimer’s expedi-
tions have been under the auspices of
the Museum of Natural History in
New York, the Smithsonian and the
Carnegie Institutes, and the National
Museum. These institutions pronounc-
ed the dinosaur tracks that he found
in a narrow canyon off the Navajo
the most perfect ever seen, and three
imprints, which Mr. Bernheimer res-
cued from:a stream bed, are in the

Natural History, Museum in New
York.
The country where the _ earliest

American civilization grew up is a
rocky desert of glamorous coloring.
Mr. Bernheimer showed views from
the mesas to which he climbed, over
long stretches of pink and orange and
grey-green rocks. He showed, too,
pictures of the canyon of the Navajo
and the Chelly, and an especially in-
teresting and “appalling” view of a
turbulent river that had carved itself
an almost perfect amphitheatre can-
yon surrounding a pointed dome. The
horses. and mules of the expedition
had to ¢limb over absolutely smooth
rock, so worn that it looked in ridges
and in color, like a shell. There is
comparatively little sand in the West-
ern American desert, but the pictures
of the sandy stretches, with towering,
narrow red rocks in the distances,
were enchanting.

The most exciting part of the scen-
ery of Arizona is the natural bridges,
formed entirely by the action of the
wind and sand. The most famous of
them is the Rainbow Bridge, to which
Mr. Bernheimer opened a new pas-
sage, and of which he showed us an
unforgettable picture, taken by moon-
light.

He showed us other bridges that
he found, none so perfect, but some
even more impressive than the rain-
bow bridge. The Hawkeye Bridge has
caves behind it which show the aeolic
processes uncompleted. The Owl Heady
caves are a. strange mixture of half}
formed bridges and deep caverns in
the rock; and the Clara Bernheimer
bridge, which is very like the Rain-
bow, is between cliffs and can be pho-
tographed only from below.

Mr. Bernheimer was led to these
discoveries by his search for the bas-
ket makers’ civilization.
dians were the ancestors of the Pai-
utes of today, and were long-headed,
while the Navajos are broad-headed.
The basket makers are related to the
aborigines of Mongolia and Australia.
as is shown by their boomerangs and
implements evincing. Eastern relation-
ships. They knew no metal, but wore
shells brought inland 750 miles from
the’ Pacific. They lived in dwellings
built of tufa rock with beams, and
decorated the walls with ,painted and
chipped designs of men ‘and animals,
and with symbols. Some of _ the
houses are entered by a ladder
through the roof; some by T-shaped
doorways, because the Indians thought
people were wider at the top than
about the legs. The race of. the bas-
ket makers flourished from 1500 B. C.

to 1509 4.-D.; their dates are ascer-
‘tained by ,the rings in the beams of

These In-}‘



Dr. Machlup Addresses Class

Dr. Fritz Machlup, internationally
known economist from the University
of Vienna, addressed Dr. Anderson’s
Money and Banking class on Monday
morning. Dr. Machlup is.an adher-

ent of the Austrian School of: Econom-
ics, and is known for his work in Cap-

ital Theory and the Consumption of |

Capital. He described the « Central
Bank and the gold systems of Aus-,
tria, and explained the effects on Aus-
tria of American deflation in the value
of the dollar. In giving an account of
his own work on Capital Consumption,
Dr. Machlup showed that the usual
idea that profits are gained through
inflation is false. If a manufacturer
has a stock of cotton worth $10,000
on January 1, and on December 31 has
the same stock of cotton; now worth
$20,000 as the result of inflation, he
usually considers the added $10,000 as
profits and spends it... Actually, how-
ever, he is spending his capital, be-
causé he could not replace his stock
of cotton for less than the $20,000
which it is now worth.



Mr. De Loache to Give Recital

Benjamin De Loache, baritone of
the Philadelphia Grand Opera’ Com-
pany, will give a concert in Goodhart
on Wednesday evening, January ninth.
Bryn Mawr is doubly fortunate in
having so distinguished a vocalist as
Mr. De Loache come to the campus
of his own accord and present all of
the proceeds above a minimum fee to
the college. The price to students will
be one dollar.

Mr. De Loache won the Atwater-
Kent Contest for 1927 and came to
Philadelphia to study at the Curtis
Institute under the famous baritone,
Emilio’ de Gorgoza. During recent
years he has made a distinguished rec-
ord in concert. and opera perform-
ances. During the concert season of
1933-34 he narrated Poe’s Raven with
the Philadelphia Orchestra under the
direction of Mr. Stokowski, and again
in December of 1933 he sang Fantasia,
by Vaughan-Williams, also with the
Philadelphia Orchestra and Mr. Sto-
kowski.

Nature of X-Rays | 7
Shown in Crystal,

Wave Experiments



Dr: Darrow Describes Lattice
Structure of Crystals in

Diffracting Waves



SURFACE ‘STRUCTURE
GIVEN BY ELECTRONS

Goodhart, December 14,

. Dr. Carl Darrow, of the Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories, in his lecture on
Waves and Crystals, explained the
experiments that have helped to es-
tablish the wave nature of X+rays
and beams of electrons and have also
helped to prove the lattice structure
of the atoms in crystals. ”

In 1898. Réentgen discovered in X-
rays waves small enough to interact
with crystals, and even then it took
fourteen years for the connection be-
tWeen the two to be discovered. In
the meantime, crystallography, had
been far enough advanced for a hun-
dred years and was ready and waiting
for its new purpose.

Crystals have - many apparent char-
acteristics, but their most distinguish-
ing one, the regular arrangement of
their atoms, is not obvious even under
the most powerful microscopes. The
essential nature of crystals is that
their atoms are arranged in ranks and
files like soldiers, only in three dimen-
sions. In an easily vizualized two di-
mensional lattice, the windows in a
building, it can be seen that the dom-
inant lines are horizontal and vertical,
not diagonal, and also that these hori-
zontal and vertical lines can only be
parallel to the outside edges of the
building. Dr. ‘Darrow showed some
pictures of. crystals and some dia-
grams which demonstrated how this
is exactly the case with the atomic
arrangement of the crystals, from the
simple to the complex.

Before pointing out what will hap-
pen when a. number of wave-trains
fall on a cubic crystal, Dr. Darrow

Walter Duranty Speck

on Varied Conditions .

of Collectivization, Production in Russia



Bellevue Hotel, December 15.

It is difficult to make:a concrete ap-
praisal of conditions in Russia because
the country is so varied, so, big, and
in such a state of flux. They know
whither they are trying to go and
why, but there is so much variety in
conditions that it is almost guesswork
%) to the exact nature of the facts.

his is the conclusion reached by Wal-
ter Duranty, special correspondent
from Russia for the New York Times
since 1921, speaking at a Foreign Pol-
icy Association Luncheon.

Although the Russians are working
for a Communist state, Stalin recently
said that the state is more socialistic
than communistic, because the scale of
wages varies. There is now no private
wealth and practically no _ private
trade, and/money rivalry is not allow-
ed because they think it leads to war.
They do, however, allow success ‘in
other ways, for a high Commissioner
in the army, although he is theoretical-
ly on the same level as a. low officer,
does have more coniforts because he
is doing important work for the state.
This is not leading to the development
of a new bourgeois class, as has of-
ten been charged, because the higher
officials do not consider their comforts
their own and cannot transmit the
right to them to their children. Thg
difference is more one of rank than
class.

The Russians aim to give the
the same benefits as the hig

Twenty miles away there may be dirt
and dissatisfaction on poor farms, but
Russia. is rapidly progressing toward
widespread good organization. The
same state of affairs prevails in in-
dustry. Some factories have schools,
dormitories, creches, living quarters
for the workers, wonderful communal
feeding from central kitchens at a low
rate, and low-price stores open to peo-
ple in that factory, so that a worker
can get a small wage and still live com-
fortably. In another factory a work-
er with a higher wage may have very
uncomfortable living conditions.
Transportation is still their weakest
point, but it is possible that Russia
may make the leap from ox-cart to
aeroplane without the intermediate
step of railroads. The Five Year

of diverting some of the money to the

Not Even a Mouse

Being free, somewhat freckled, and twenty-one, and jin as full
possession of, our faculties as anyone could be after living through the
rigors of two and a half months of college, we rise to our feet to cry
from the housetops that we believe in Santa Claus. That may seem a
eryptic and startling statement, but we’ think it will all be clear in
the end. *

We also believe in Christmas trees with plenty of lights, red and
blue and gold balls, and silver tinsel and, snow; we believe in Father
knocking down the Christmas tree while in the act of attaching a gold
star to the top. And we know there is a Santa Claus because neither
Father, nor what:is infinitely more important, the Christmas tree ever
suffers irreparably from the catastrophe.

We believe in Father’s running Junior’s electric train at 4 o’clock
Christmas morning, while ominous snapping noises presage disaster
and the whole family stands around pleading that Junior ought to
get the first chance to break his own train. That Junior sometimes
gets his chance is another indication of the existence of Santa Claus.
We believe in Christmas presents in glamorous wrappings and entirely
covered with seals that will not come off, so that the whole family can
scream “Hurry up and open it! I want to see what it is!” for pro-
tracted periods: that and Santa Claus generally keep them quiet for
several days thereafter.

We believe in eggnog parties galore throughout Christmas after-
noon; and we are especially’ fond of people who prove amenable to
giving eggnog parties after a little well-timed urging on our part.
We believe in turkey, cranberry sauce, champagne and blazing plum
pudding arriving amidst cheers from all the family. We believe in the
family subsiding into easy chairs after dinner to sleep it off, thus
giving us a free hand for nefarious and irreligious festivities. And
we know there is a Santa Claus because the vast majority of people,
even as ourselves, appear to live through such Christmas, year after

Discussed by Council



| President’s House. December 12,

| The discussion in this month’s Coun-
jcil meeting centered largely on the
changes in the organization of the
Alumnae Council meetings of the fu-
ture, the organization of Varsity dra-
| matics, the use of private victrolas
during non-quiet hours, minor changes
iin entrance requirements, and _ the
question of flooding the college tennis
jcourts for skating.

| - The Senior class, at least in part,
| will be invited to attend thé meetings
lof the next Alumnae Council held at
Bryn Mawr, so as to interest younger
alumnae in the Council’s activi-
| ties. The project for an Alumnae Col-
i\lege, suggested at the recent Council
meeting, is also being considered by
the academic committee. At present
the committee is faced with the. diffi-
culty of finding the most suitable time
\for such an alumnae meeting, and is
debating the relative suitability of
Mid-Year Weekend and. Commence-
ment Week-end.

Complaints that students partici-
[pating in Varsity Dramatics — find
‘themselves considerably pressed for
time to do their regular work during.
the rehearsal for plays brought up the
question of the relation of student
lactivities to academic work. The
question of lengthening the academic
year in case the students vote to have
; Big May Day- was discussed, and
iplans were definitely made to secure





a faculty vote on the matter and to

hold an undergraduate vote on Big
May Day as soon as possible. With

tions, in which the whole college does
not participate, no such arrangement
is feasible. Neither is it possible for
the departments to reduce assign-

iments of work for participants in such

varied fields as English and Science.
The Gilbert and Sullivan operettas
similarly conflict with the students’
regular work, but the sponsors of
these have found it greatly to their
advantage to spread the rehearsals
over a greater length of time, and to
avail themselves of Mr. Alwyne’s and

fore we all depart for vacation, it is'Mr. Willoughby’s experience in criti-

cism and direction. The two main
suggestions for a change in Varsity
'Dramat policy were that only one big
iplay should be given in each year, to
ibe presented in dne semester to bal-
;ance the Glee Club production in the
other term, and that a permanent di-
rector, attached to the faculty, should
be appointed to advise Dramatics on
the choice and production of the Var-
sity Play.

The. success of the arrangement for
the use of student radios has brought

ithus providing for an elective unit.

The recent demand for flooding the
tennis courts for skating met with the
explanation that hot water pipes run
under the lower tennis courts and that
most of the other courts are so situ-
ated as to make flooding difficult and
expensive. The suggestion is, how-
ever, being taken up by the Depart-
ment of Physical Education and, if
nothing can be done this year, the
tennis courts behind the Inn will be
remade so as to be convertible. |

Plans are also under way to reduce
the daily fee at the infirmary beyond
the four days of treatment to which
the student’s payment of an initial fee
entitles her.

Self-Government Makes
New Permission Rulings



At a recent legislative meeting of
Self-Government a number of changes
were made in the rules regarding
Special Permission. The most im-
portant change is the rule requiring
that Special ‘Permission must be ob-
tained for every absence after ten-
thirty. Students must be inside the

halls by 10.30 unless they have com-.

plied with the following rules:

A. Students expecting to return to
the halls after 10.30 must in all cases
register before leaving: name, desti-
nation, means of return, probable hour
of return, and on return the actual
hour.

B. Special permission to be out
after 10.30 must be obtained for the,
following:

(1) Motoring after dark. Students
must sign out “motoring” up to 10.30;
after 10.30 destination must be regis-
tered. Special permission is not neces-
sary if motoring with families or in
taxis.

(2) 11.80 permission may be ob-
tained for:

(a) eating in the village if escort-
ed.

(b) if unescorted, three-quarters
of an hour permission for eating in
the village after evening entertain-
ments in Goodhart (11.30 the latest).

(3) 12.15 permission for movies,
theatres, and concerts in Philadelphia.

(4) Two o’clock permission for*pri-
vate parties.

(5) Two o’clock permission for in-
formal dancing at any reputable place
such as the Mayfair, Bellevue, Wal-
ton Roof, Pierre’s.

(6) Three o’clock permission for
formal parties.

(7) If a student after leaving the
halls, finds out before 10.30 P. M. that
she wishes special permission, she
must teléphone to a member of ,the
Board, hall president, or deputy for
it and have herself signed out.

(6) After 10.30 a student must call
the warden:

(a) if unavoidably delayed.

(b) When she finds it necessary
to extend the time of her permission,
in which case she must ask if she may
speak with a member of the board;
hall president or deputy. No student
may call up after 12 o’clock to extend
her permission.

Strong Start Followed by Bad

Made vs. All-Phila.



B. M. MAKES 26-38 GOALS).



The 1934 Varsity Hockey . season

of a let-down.in the middle, but a fine
finish, with a splendid showing against
the All-Philadelphia team.

In the first few games, the forwards
were playing a fast, hard-hitting/game,
taking the offense at all times. The
“stick handling was a bit ragged, but
the balls were. usually hit hard and
directed well. The defense was play-
ing exceedingly: well, but co-operation
between the forwards and backs was
more th&n* once noticeably lacking.

With the West Jersey game,
which the team showed an alarming’
falling off in power and co-ordination
especially in the second period, Var-
sity seemed to lose its drive and pep
and even the defense.was not up to
its usual mark. Fortunately, Bryn
Mawr always seemed to snap out of
its lethargy in time to make a con-
certed effort in the last few minutes.
But saddened by the poor play of the
rest of the game, we were not always
as appreciative of the spurts as per-
haps we should have been.

Our great basketball rival, Rose-
mont, was routed in an extremely one-
sided game, which was marked by fast
play, hard driving, and good team-
work. Varsity seemed to be on the
upgrade once again, especially since
the defense backed up the forwards
much better than usual.

Bryn Mawr took its first defeat. at
the hands of the Merion contingent in
a game which had Varsity on the de-
fensive most of the time. The for-
wards started to fade in this game and
seemed to lose all the drive and co-
operation which made them such a
threat in the earlier matches.

Varsity swept a strong Alumnae
team off the field, but were blanketed
completely: by the Philadelphia Cricket
Club, most of whom were All-Ameri-
cans or possible candidates, and Bryn
Mawr was completely lost in the face
of superb technique and superior tac-
tics.

A 5-0 win over Swarthmore was es-
pecially gratifying because of the two
previously undecided stalemates.

Bryn Mawr ended up the season in
a blaze of glory by holding the All-
Philadelphia team to the lowest score
in many years, 4-1. Varsity played a
beautiful defensive game with the for-
wards combining strongly with the
backfield and preventing any scoring
during the first part of the half.

The Faculty and Haverford games
were marked by the usual excitement
and we were especially pleased with
the ‘victory over the Faculty and the
scoreless tie with the Haverford team.

All in all, the season has been much
more successful than usual and though
there is room for improvement in back
technique and tactics, we feel that
hockey may sometime regain the place
and glory which it once held in Bryn
Mawr athletics.

Choir Sings Carols
With Unusual Beauty

another story of Christ’s birth. Now
the singing became pompous in turn.
Miss Mary Earp sang the recitative,
“Oh, Thou That Tellest Good Tidings
to Zion,’ from Handel’s ‘‘Messiah,”
and the choir joined her in the chorus.
After her deep, solemn voice, rich and
warm ‘in tonal quality, all the others
together sounded light and _ almost
frail. But this. was forgotten when
of the
Lord” which “shall be revealed, And
all flesh shall see together.”

Bishop Creighton explained in his
sermon that.Christmas has gifts more
valuable and permanent than those
we give and take from friends and
family. \Without the true Christmas
gifts, lifé would not be worth living.
Yet men have never prayed for these;
they have even struggled against
them.

On the first Christmas night, God
manifested more gifts to earth than
His incarnate Son. A multitude of
angels appeared to the poor, rustic
shepherds of Judah with tidings of
love. The stern, joyless religions and
governments of centuries were cast
aside. Instead, Christ brought release
from sadness into life and peace. For
the angels proclaimed peace to the
world that night. That was another
unwanted gift. Always, men have
protested against peace; today, they
still protest.

After the Bishop’s address, the choir
sang two Czech carols: “Now the
Rarest Day of Days” and “Sleep,
Baby, Sleep.”’ The last was slow and
sweet as a lullaby, but its solemnity
made it a hymn. Part of the choir
hummed again in Geoffrey Shaw’s
“How Far Is It to. Bethlehem?” but
only at the beginning and end. The
rest of the time, both tune and words
were prettily childlike. Arthur Som-
ervell’s “Grasmere Carol’ began gaily
and ended solemnly, too, while the last
carol, “Today is Born Immanuel,” was
nothing less than majestic. First, Miss

then she and Miss Agnes Halsey to-
‘gether, and last, Miss Halsey alone.
The combination of Miss Earp’s deep,
rich voice, and Miss‘ Halseys’ high
singing was very lovely, while the
final burst of the whole choir was like
the end of a “Te Deum.”

Mexican ‘Architecture
Described by Dr. Mullet

Music Room, December 18...

Dr. Valentine Miiller, in describing
his trip. through Mexico.and tracing
the influences.- which: have affected
Mexican art. and. building, showed
slides of Mexican landscapes and
architecture — ancient andgmodern.
Dr. Miiller recommended this trip as
enjoyable and interesting. It was
neither unbearably hot, nor. spoiled
by rain, as he had feared. There
were excellent lectures, given by Mex-
icans, on economics, politics, ‘art mod-
ern Mexican problems, and ancient
and modern Mexican music. Dr. Miil-
ler recommended that anyone taking
this trip should stay afterwards by
himself and study museums and
churches.

Slides of the Mexican’ countryside,
canyons, deserts, and mountain sides,
and of the unusual and lovely Mexican
trees, were shown, Tropical plants
prevail in a large part of Mexico.
From Mexico City, Dr. Miller took
three trips, and obtained many slides
of skylines and churches. No matter
how poor’ a Mexican community is, it
always possesses a great number of
churches.. There are many lakes, too,
invariably full of snakes—so full, in
fact, that no one can take a bath in
them!

Mexican archaeology was more com-
plicated than Dr. Miiller had expect-
ed, for it has many trends developing
side by side, and the dates are very
uncertain. Mexico is interesting for
that very reason, since it gives us an
opportunity to see how a civilization
can grow by itself, without foreign in-
fluences. The ancient Mexicans sur-
passed the ancient Europeans in lay-
ing out cities.

There are a great many so-called
pyramids in Mexico, although they are
not ‘like the ._ pyramids of ancient
Egypt: they are flat on top, and have
narrow steps leading to the top. They
are frequently decorated with ser-
pents’ heads. Dr. Miiller showed slides
of temples, shrines, and monasteries,
built under Indian and Spanish in-
fluences,

The Mexicans are a mixed race. At
the end of the 19th century 18 per
cent. of the population was pure white,
as compared with the 5 per cent, now.
In Mexico, the making of a new peo-
ple and of a new civilization is -in
process, since civilization always de-
velops from a mixture of races. There
is a large amount of art among the
peasants, especially pottery, weaving
and _lacquering.

Dr. Miiller showed some slides of
Mexican peasant houses and villages,
and the exteriors and interiors of sev-
eral churches. He concluded by show-
ing a slide of a modern skyscraper in
Mexico City. Dr. Miiller believes that

the modernistic style in architecture

can be taken over and adapted
ous countries.

Miss Park Suggests
Permanent Director



Possibility of Summer Studying
of Parts, of Theatre Guild -
Group, Proposed



BETTER CHOICES URGED



-Goodhart, December 14.

Miss Park, speaking in Chapel on
Cymbeline and All That, said that col-
lege plays must be chosen to meet not
only the angle of the small group that‘
heads Varsity. Dramatics but also the
angle of the audience. Varsity. Dra-
matics is dependent on “the rest. of
us” to a greater extent than any
other specially interested group in col-
lege. Its need of a large group as an
audience is psychological. Varsity
Dramatics has the same troubles as
all amateur dramatic organizations. It
has only two nights to give its play
and it is faced with the problem of
bringing in outside guests to witness
its productions.

Miss Park made a few suggestions
to help Varsity Dramatics in secur-
ing an audience and in overcoming
some of its production difficulties, The
best thing to do, in choosing a play, is
to inspect the lists of plays’ given.by
good stock companies, such as that of
Eva Le Gallienne. These stock com-
panies choose a very wide range of
plays — classical and_ restoration
drama, occasionally a new play.

It has also been suggested that'a
professional coach should be attached
to the college, as Mlle. Rey is attached
to the French Department, and Mr.
Willoughby and Mr. Alwyne to the
Music Department. Students go stale
on a coach, however, unless he is very
remarkable.

A very possible scheme would be
for the college to give only two pro-
ductions a year, the Gilbert~and Sul-
livan operetta in the spring and a
very carefully worked out Varsity
Dramatics play in the fall. , The play
could be chosen in the spring and
parts given out then to be memorized
over summer. Then the actual pres-
entation could take place very soon
after college opened the following fall.












‘| ~ Ht costs no more to live in
the vey heart of town—with
all the vodern comforts and .
conveniences! The suites (one
and two rooms) are large and
alry, with Pullman kitchen and
bright bath. You will have to
see them to appreciate them.













Of course, rentals are
not beyond your budget.






CHAS. C, KELLY
Managing Director










There would be more freedom and lei-
sure at that time for the necessary
work on direction and movement. This
plan was tried out at Bryn Mawr for
several years with. great Success,.

- It is ‘also possible that interested
members of the college should at the
beginning of the year, as is practised
in the Theatre Guild, agree to co-
operate with Varsity Dramatics not
only in paying expenses, and in help-
ing with the work, but also in choos-
ing the plays to be given. This would
not be interference in or dictatorship
over the small group, which is almost

400 close, but would give many people

in college training for future work in
the small theatres springing up every-
where ‘in the United States.

There were many interesting points
in the past presentation of Cymbeline.
The lighting was the best ever done
in college. The scenery was reniark-
ably effective, and the stylizing used
so well in the scenery could welt have
been.extended to the properties. The
bloody head like the baby in Winter’s
Tale is an awkward and dangerous
device and usually provokes laughter.
The complicated changes and series
of scenes were very’smoothly effected
and there was a: great deal of very
pleasant acting. The play was, how-
ever, too much cut; it was hard to
know what was being done. The audi-
ence suffered also from the “extreme-
ly bad” diction of the actors, which
rendered many of their lines unintelli-
gible. The bad postures and move-
ments of the actors, particularly no-
ticeable in the numerous entrances
and exits, had the distracting effect of
jerking the audience back from its
contemplation of the lovely scenery.

Cymbeline is a very queer, curious
sort of play and not a moving one.
It has fewer of what Carl Sandburg
calls Shakespeare’s “slow, wise, beau-
tiful words” than any other of his
plays.

Nature of X-Rays oe °

Shown in Experiments



Continued’from Page One

drew an. analogy to sound waves. In
a model theatre, pictures have been
successfully taken of .a single sound
wave moving from the position of the
speaker toward the back of the the-
atre. As this wave front passes over
each of the steps where the seats are
placed, a wavelet is reflected from
each step.

X-rays are very different from
sound waves for they are less than a
millionth of an inch long; when a
train of X-rays strikes a series of
single rows of atoms, the atoms will
turn off this wave, say at an angle of
30°. A train of longer waves will
be turned through a greater angle,
smaller waves through a, smaller an-
gle. No matter how many wave-trains
of different wave length strike this
same row of atoms at the same time,
each different train will be deflected
at a different angle, without any in-
terference, and with the various wave
fronts bound in different directions.
There is a difference from this, how-
ever, when a number of wave trains
of different wave-lengths strikes a
three-dimensional lattice. Mest of the
wave trains advance straight through
the crystal, which acts as a filter, and
only one or a few of the wave trains
are deflected, each at different angles.
It is in this way that a crystal differs
from a single row of atoms.

Before 1912 it was believed general-
ly that X-rays were beams of cor-
puscles or particles. If this were so



there would be no order in deflection
when a beam passed through a cry-
stal... It occurred to Von Marle that
X-rays were really waves and that if
this were so, a beam of. 'rays going
through a crystal would pass straight
through except for a few wave trains
which would be deflected in sharply
different directions. He turned the
performance of the experiment over
to two younger men, who sent a nar-
row beam of X-rays through a crystal
with a photographic plate.on the other
side. If the plate revealed a vague
smear,-X-rays would have been proved
to be corpuscles; if there were some
sharply different spots on the plate,
X-rays were proved waves and cry-
stals diffractive to them. The photo-
graphic plate revealed around the
large center smear a perfect pattern
of spots, which were perfectly sym-
metrical not only in arrangement but
in brightness and, dimness. Each
crystal made a different pattern by
this method, which was also used to
prove the crystalline nature of metals
and other substances.

X-rays and electrons are two dif-
ferent kinds of waves, but their evi-
dence about crystals is complementary,
X-rays are very penetrating and re:
veal the nature of the depths of the
crystal, while electrons are deflected
by the first. few rows of atoms and
therefore reveal the nature of the out-
side of crystals. The scale of these
atoms in crystals is about one million
to the linear centimeter, while X-rays
and electrons measure about from a
ten-millionth to a hundred-millionth
of an inch from crest to érest of the
waves,

eral. state..such_as.the.United. States.
Zamora wanted a recognition of the
unity of Spain first, and then federal-
ism. A compromise was reached -in
which a high degree of autonomy
was granted to. Catalonia,

The Church question was the next
problem. The government separated
the Church from the State through a
law which cut the budgetary“subsidies
for the clergy one-third in 1932 and
completely cut them out in 1938.
Zamora did not want to disband the
religious orders, but in the end the
Jesuits were, disbanded, while the
others lost their property and privi-
leges of teaching. Shortly after this
Azafia became head of the. govern-
ment.

Education in Spain had been man-
aged, up to this time, by the Church
and State. The better classes used. the
Catholic schools and the poorer ones,
the State schools. :
ly Socialist government naturally fav-
ored replacing Catholic education with
State schools.

The land problem was next encoun-
tered by the Republic. The soil of
Spain is relatively poor. Yet over
75 per cent. of the population is agrar-
ian. In the south a few great land-
owners control almost the whole farm-
ing area. They hire labor to till their
fields at very low wages. In the north
there is a system of tenant “farming
on small tracts of land, great blocks
of which are owned by the aristocracy.

The predominant-|

To remedy these evils, the Institute ot
Agrarian Reform was established. It
was given funds yearly to buy up the
land from the owners who could be
compelled to sell. The land was then
let out to individuals or to groups:

The Labor Reforms instituted were
chiefly in the form of two laws. The
selection of workers’ and employers’
representatives for the settlement of
industrial disputes was legalized, and
the political control exercised by the
owners and employers over the work-
ing classes, was limited by forbidding
the importation of outside labor into
a region unless there were need for
it. These laws were opposed by the
owning classes, just as. the Catholic
Church opposed the Church legisla-
tion. .

In the course of 1933 as these laws
were coming into effect, the opposition
began to crystallize. The elections of
the spring and fall of .1983 showed
that the government had the support
of only a third of the people. In Au-
gust the Azafa’ Government. resigned
and wéts replaced by that of Lerroux,
a.man who had long opposed the
Church influence, but who was at the
same time an economic. conservative.
He secured new élections, which re-
sulted in a surprising victory for the
Right parties.

In October 1984, the Revolution
broke. A general strike for all Spain
was called on October 6th. The gov-
ernment checked the fighting, through
the Civil Guard and the Army. Bar-
celona in Catalonia and Orviedo in
Asturias were the centers of the re-

volt. The Socialist strikers feared





that the Anarchists would not support
them; they were supported in Or-
viedo but not in Barcelona.

The Catalonians declared themselves
the leaders in a Third Republic of
Spain,” This did not mean that they ~
planned to be totally “independent of
Spain, but was an expression of their
old desire for a federal state. The
Barcelonians’' counted on the Bae

port of the local troops under General

Batet, who, however, declared martial
law and quickly suppressed the un-
trained Barcelonian rebels. T:wenty-
three people were court-martialed for
the revolt and sentenced to death. All
but two were pardoned by President .
Zamora.
