Leach Affirms Verse

Popular In America
Poetry Should Aim, To Arouse
Emotions But To Preserve
Equilibrium



MacLEISH BEST MODERN



Deanery, April 28.—‘“I will lie an
idle ball,’ was the theme, selected
from Alemon’s Lyra Graeca, -chosen
by Mr. Henry Goddard Leach for his
lecture When Verse Becomes Poetry.
Mr. Leach expressed his conviction
that any-definition of poetry and the
region where verse turns into poetry
should be entirely personal. His own
attitude represents no school of phil-

osophy, no conception of poetry, no’
_ theory characteristic of any magazine.

Contemporary verse is_ perhaps
more contemporary than any other
Amercian art. There are about twelve
million Americans extremely interest-
ed in it, and of these'a great many
are young people still in schools and
colleges. The corn belt especially ex-
cels in the productivity of young
poets. Much of the poetry of modern
young writers takes the form of vers
libre, and much verse developing from
vers libre becomes more American and
more contemporary. ‘More than half
of the young girl poets,” he said, “be-
long to tomorrow.”

Poetry, according to Aristotle, is a
relief, a cleansing of life’ “My defi-

. nition,” said Mr. Leach, ‘4s that it is

the art of the patterned word.” The
definition of poetry, then, depends
upon that of-art. A century and a
half before Aristotle, Confucius said
that the state of art exists when all
the emotions are actively in being, but
in a state of equilibrium and his defi-
nation is better than Aristotle’s. Art
should not stir one to action,—one’s
emotions are aroused, but they are in
a state of equilibrium. A college edu-
cation of the emotions is needed more
than-an-aecumulation of fact-or-added
thought.

Verse becomes poetry when it be-
comes etched on the emotions of a
generation unborn at the time the poem
was written. In spite of the many
objections raised against the taetics of
the American Poetry Society—objec-
tions to too great popularization, and

‘to too marked promotion of quality—

4t seems toebe the function of editors
and college professors to decide which

Science Building ®lans
Show Steady Progress
The new Science Building will be in
two sections, one for physics, chemis-
try and mathematics and one for biol-
ogy and geology. The plans for the
physics, chemistry and mathematics
settion are completed.

The building will be-of gray stone,
quarried locally, and will be ‘in keep-
ing with the architecture of the other
buildings on the campus. Its simplic-
ity is well suited to its purpose, a sim-
plicity, however, that is reached. by
combining complicated, unbalanced de-
tails into a balanced‘ whole.

sound and light experiments. A high
voltage room will allow a Vandergraf
apparatus to be used with no danger
of flying sparks. A cork-lined dark
room, with a separate floor from the
rest of the building so that there will
be no possibility of vibrations, will
house the Rowland grating’ already
owned by the college The large lec-
ture rooms for first year classes have
preparation rooms behind them _ in
which experiments can be set up for
class demonstration. Ten small rooms
for graduate research are provided,
The library for physics and chemistry
with reading room and stacks is to
be given by the Class of 1918 as a
memorial to Marjorie Jefferies Wag-
oner, A.B., Bryn Mawr, 1918; M.D.,
University of Pennsylvania, 1922;
College Physician from 1922 to 1934.
The chemical laboratories are equip-
ped with a modern ventilating system
ito carry off the gases. The receiving
and storage rooms are adjoining and
the balance room is placed to avoid
vibrations. Wherever possible, steam
will be used in experiments for which.
heat is necessary, so that the fire risk
will be reduced to the minimum.
The new building will not only.pro-
vide such modern equipment as is es-
sential to carry on experimentation,
but will make possible a. valuable ex-
| periment in the teaching of science.
A plan for—correlating the—seiences
with each other and with mathematics
has been worked out in detail and will
be put into effect as soon as the new
Science Building is available. Bryn
Mawr College was a pioneer fifty
years ago in demanding that science
be part of the required work for the
A.B. degree. Now it is to be a pio-
neer in a new plan of teaching science.
The cost of the building for physics,
chemistry and mathematics will be

Summer School to Take Place This Year
At Art Workshop Camp, Mt. Ivy, New York



Goodhart, April 29.—The plans for

, the summer of nineteen-thirty-five of

the Bryn Mawr Summer School for
women in industry were discussed at
a meeting held by the Summer School
Committee of the Bryn Mawr: League.
The speakers were Mrs. Dexter Otey,
1901, who will be the director of the
school this summer, Miss Betty Fry,
who was at the school last summer,
and Miss Katie Graver, of Berlin.
Mrs. Otey discussed the purpose’ of
the summer sessions for women work-
ers, which is to teach them a prac-
tical course in the social sciences. and
to help them realize how they can bet-
ter their own economic positions. The
group is most varied, including girls
from_all over the United States and
often from several countries of Eu-
rope, who are of every political per-
suasion. The school was ‘the first of
its kind in America. Its former di-

“rector, Miss Hilda Smith, is now di-

recting a similar movement under the
FERA in Washington. This Summer
the School will not be located on the
Bryn Mawr campus as usual, but will
open on June seventh at a summer
camp of-the-Art Workshop League at
Mount Ivy, Pomona, New York.

Usually the school is composed ‘of
one hundred girls sent on scholarships

from their various communities, who

live in Pembroke and have classes in

Denbigh and Taylor Halls. This year,

the number of girls has to be limited

to fifty, and there will be no Library,

Gymnasium, nor any facilities for

studying at night. Because the Art
Rn.” SANT 7 Sp RTs

Workshop League needs the camp lat-
cr in the summer, the session of the
summer school wil] begin a week
earlier than-‘usual. This may make
it necessary for many of the profes-
sors, whose college positions do not
end. until the third week in June, to
arrive a week late. Another difficulty
is the withdrawal of the grant which
was instituted to send negro workers
to the summer school.

Miss Fry outlined the courses of-
fered each summer, which include
English and economics, as required
subjects, elementary sciences, correc-
tive gymnasium, sports such as tennis
and swimming, and dramatics. There
were twenty second-year students in
the group of one hundred. One of
the problems with which the adminis-
trative board of the Summer School
are experimenting is whether to in-
clude the second-year students in the
same classes as the new students, in
order’ to give the advantage of their
progress to the whole class, or to start
special, more advanced classes for
them.

Bryn Mawr Students
Compete In Oratory



Interpretation of History of
Academie Is Presented In
Winning Speech



DECISION WON BY JONES



Goodhart, April 24.—Bryn Mawr
has been distinguished this year by
being the first women’s college to
hold the Concours Oratoire France-
Amérique. These concours have
hitherto been held only at some of the
outstanding universities such as Har-
vard, Yale and Leland Stanford. | It
offers ‘to the undergraduates and to
‘graduate students who have received
their A.B. degrees not more than a
year ago an opportunity to pursue
certain problems connected with the
study of French in America,—prob-
lems of vocabulary and of presenta-
tion as distinguished from ordinary
conversation or written theses. This
year there were three candidates, two
seniors, and one graduate student,
Francoise Queneau, Mount Holyoke,
34; Mary Pauline Jones, Bryn Mawr,
35, and Elisabeth Morrow, Bryn
Mawr, ’35. The jury, consisting of
M.*le Consul-General de Verneuil, M.
Schinz, of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, and M. Cons, of Columbia Uni-
versity, awarded the decision, after
some deliberation, to Miss Jones.
“The subject of the winning address
was the true significance of the
Académie Frangaise, which lies not in
its history, but in the interpretation
of that history. It is in the spirit of
the Académie that its real importance
lies, and in the fact that this group of
forty men of letters stands, and has
always stood, as a symbol of author-
ity. Its decisions as regards lan-
guage, laws, or contemporaries elected
to the body may not necessarily be
final or binding, but: they set a stand-
ard for the rest of the intellectual
world.

This principle of authority was
found in the first Académie, which was
merely a gathering of the littera-
teurs of the early seventeenth century
under the protection of Cardinal
Richelieu, who wished to keep these
men dependent upon him for their
ideas and opinions. Even during the
days of the Revolution, when the
Académie was suppressed for a time,
the principle persisted and was in-
corporated in the revived society.
There have been many attacks made
on the Académie: men have said that
in it the intellect is subordinated to
polities, that it is not the true expres-
sion of a_ period, since many illustri-
ous men are not members, or that,
after all, it is only a manifestation of
the conventional rather than of the
great. All this may be true, but the
Académie remains a guiding force
and provides a system of values which
cannot be over-estimated.

‘Miss Queneau was interested in Vol-
taire and his connection with © the
Académie. His opinion of it varied
to the point of being self-contradictory,
and in this, as in other respects, he
represented the very soul of the

| French spirit. At first he scorned.all

Dhan Mukerji Explains _
Hindu Mystic Methods



Deanery, April 23.—“‘True Hindu
contemplation is for the sake of se-
rene and noble action in life rather
than escape out of life,” said Mr.
Dh@n Gopal Mukerji as a prelude to

‘| his explanation of the method Indians

use to attain to this contemplation.
He warned that mystical experience is
a dangerous goal even for those ac-
customed to meditation, and when it
actually occurs, its surest evidence is
its effect upon character, not any
fabulous tales of dragons or divini-
ties.

Hindus are trained in the. art of
meditation from their earliest youth
until it becomes a habit with them
that cannot ‘be broken. When _ par-
ents sit quietly at sundown for this
purpose, they make their children sit
quietly also. Although the children
may be only three years old, and al-
though they may cry, or stamp, or
fight with each-other, no attention is
paid to them for twenty minutes. By
the time they are six, they can re-
main perfectly still throughout the re-
quired time. Then they are given a
picture of Buddha to look at, which
they must separate from every ad-
jacent thing, That is, they must be
aware of the image, while unaware of
the frame or the wall where the frame
is hung. The tense concentration used
during study for examinations is only
a hindrance in learning how to medi-
tate; the mind should be absolutely
relaxed. _As soon as children have
achiewed the ability to relax and still
to focus their.attention on one ob-
ject, they are told to observe not the
image of Buddha itself, but the idea
of the image—serenity. Through con-
templating the bare.idea, exaltation
is sometimes reached, and always the
quality of the serenity which they see
enters into the children’s lives.

Mr. Mukerji himself was not nat-
urally inclined to meditation. During
the twenty minutes when he was sup-
posed to be still, he would run off into
the jungle. His mother understood
and tried to. teach him another way.
“Can you hear the silence in the jun-
gle?” she asked him each night at
bedtime. He could not, so she told
him to listen to the wind as it blew
through different things. After he
had listened closely, he distinguished
six different sounds, one made in
grass, another in trees, another in the
house, and others in various places.
“But the music of the wind,” said his
mother, “is made by the silence be-
tween the sounds. If there were no
silences, there would be no music; only
one long, unvaried note.” Then he
heard silence. In all music, he dis-
covered, it is the pauses in between
that make the beauty, just as it is
the hollow in a cup, not the glass,
which holds wine. His ability to
focus ,his mind on this idea which
transcends mere stillness gave him the
ability to meditate.

In spite of India’s misery, the se-.

renity and detachment gained by medi-
tation endures. Because of it, indeed,
the men of India are beyond hurt and
ean survive their trouble. ~All over
the world as well, in these times of
stress and sudden change, detachment

Varied Piano Recital
Given By Mr. Alwyne
Perfect Technique Is Combined

With Charm and Sympathy
of Rendering





ROMANTIC EMPHASIZED



Goodhart Hall, April 23.—In the re-
cital which Mr. Alwyne gave for the

benefit of the Undergraduate Quota:

of the Million Dollar Drive, his per-* ~

formance was remarkable not only for
perfect technique, an_ outstanding
quality of Mr, Alwyne’s playing, but
also for color, sympathetic rendering,
and humor. The program was well-
balanced between abstract and pro-
gram music, serious and lightly ro-
inantic selections. The performance
as a whole was characterized by a
clear, sparlding quality of tone and
the few old favorites received a fresh,
new charm in Mr. Alwyne’s playing.

The program opened with Baeh’s
Fantisie in C Minor which, because
of its smooth flowing rhythm, formed
a very good introduction. Haydn’s
Andante con Variazioni in F Minor
which followed had more color and
variety. Mr. Alwyne displayed his
fine technique in this number, which
was full of ornamentations and con-
trasts in volume, tempo, and expres-
sion. The trills and runs were rapid
and smooth under a light, but unhesi-
tating touch. Scrupulous accuracy, so
evident in this piece, is an element of
Mr. Alwyne’s perfect technique. “The
Schubert-Zadora Lachen und Weinen
came next on the program and showed
by its sympathetic rendering that
technique is only one quality in Mr.
Alwyne’s art. The Gliick-Brahms
Gavotte which ended the first section
of the program is such a well-known
favorite that its. performance often
lacks interest. Mr. Alwyne, however,
because of his beautiful touch and the
smoothness of his performance,
brought out the hidden beauties of this
piece. t

Pappillons, Opus 2, by Schumann,
was the high point of the program.
This piece, which is divided into
twelve parts, is so called, Mr. Alwyne
explained, not because of its flutter-
ing quality, but because it is derived
from a number of short phrases. Rep-
resentatively it portrays the last chap-
ter of a novel by two young men sow-

Kimball Lectures To Art Classes

Taylor, April 24.—The History of
Art classes enjoyed a rare opportun-
ity to see the point of view of the
working artist when Mr. Maulsby
Kimball addressed them on the subject
of The Composition of the- Italian
Masters of the Renaissance as Work-
inig Artists. Mr. Kimball is.himself a
working’ artist and conducts a fine arts
school in Buffalo, where he combines
the study of the history and the prac-
tice of painting at the same -time. He
believes the study of the history of
painting invaluable to the working
artist and himself draws greatly from
the works of the masters in matters of
technique and domposition, A study
of the latter in Renaissance Italian
painting led him to the discovery of
the organic and flowing linear move-
ment and, in particular, of several
forms of composition used again and
again by artists of that period. The
figuré: eight, which occurs frequently
as the basis for the movement of com-
positions, shows in many of these pic-
tures how the totality of many flowing
lines about an axis creates. an or-
ganic whole. Throughout his lecture
Mr. Kimball illustrated his points with
reproductions of the Old Masters, ac-
companied by his own line analyses of
the composition in each picture.

-As the artist sets to work on a>

picture he is faced with an infinite
number of possibilities for filling the

|eanvas,-from all of which he must

select the proper ones which, in com-
bination, will produce a work of art.
Types of line and of rhythm found
in pictures are innumerable, but Ren-
aissance artists for the most part em-
ployed a flowing line movement con-
verging about an axis. In this form
of composition the eye moves in one

The March of Time ©

We have had occasion recently to read over the early issues of the
Lantern, and among the editorials written -between 1891 and 1910 we
found some very interesting ideas. Many of these editorials discussed the
reasons why ‘women go to college and what they obtain from it. They
thought that scholarship was the most important thing in one’s college life,
which would probably not be our attitude today without some qualification;
nevertheless we feel that now when we have so many interesting activities
both on and off the campus which naturally claim our attention, it is per-
haps not inappropriate to discuss here the importance of studies in our lives.

Most..of the early editors assumed that women came to Bryn Mawr to
become scholars. They deeply appreciated the isolation and solitude of
Bryn Mawr which made it particularly adapted to scholarly work, and they
regretted that in spite of these advantages, not all women came to college
with the hope of becoming competent scholars. We. know from the college
publications that these women did not ignore or dislike the other side of
college life; for they were active in student clubs, athletics and many other
things. Nevertheless, they did deplore the fact that outside activities, which
had early made themselves prominent on the campus, were rapidly engros-
sing the major part of the time and energy of the students. It was felt that
the purpose of a college education was to train the mind for accurate and
creative work, and that it was not intended to be merely a pleasant breathing
space after school in which to grow up.

Our attitude toward college*has altered-considerably.in_ the passage of
time, and we may well regard this as a change for the better. Most of us
feel that our extra-curricular activities are among the most important in our
college life, and that a well-developed personality is as valuable-as a wWell-
developed mind. We assume that by passing our courses we have done
enough for our intellects and that we can devote the rest of our time to
outside interests. We do not wish to advocate the cause of pure scholarship
alone, for most of us, we know, have additional ambitions; and we do think
that a judicious number of extrcurricular activities is interesting and valu-
able in keeping us wide-awake and in touch with what is going on around
us. It prevents our minds from becoming narrowed by the provinciality of
a cloistered existence. In spite of this fact the concern of our predecessors is
still apropos, and we too feel that it is a pity for a person to over-balance her
time while in college so much that she gives the greater portion of it to indis-
criminate outside activities and interests.

Most -of us desire to be well-rounded individuals, able to achieve suc-
cess in society, business, scholarship, marriage, and whatever else interests
us: yet intellectual activity is the fundamental basis of personality, and the
former must be cultivated if the latter is to be interesting. It is our con
tention, therefore, that an interesting, creative, and receptive mind is essen
tial to such a personality, and that the qualities which go to form it*cannot
be obtained without hard work. It is certainly true that the more widely we
spread our interests, the less attention’we can give to each one of them.
While admitting the value of some variety of activities, nevertheless it is our
belief that if we wigh to achieve that interesting and -well-rounded person-
ality which is the aspiration of the majority,~we must concentrate most of
our energy ‘on our studies and put the rest of it into those few things which
especially appeal to us. It is only then that we will really begin to utilize the
opportunities which Bryn Mawr offers.

No one will deny that there is considerable good to be gained from the

cult of sun worshiping. Not only is it fine for the health of the participants,

but also it is excelJent for their morale after they have endured the hardships

of a sunless winter. It is possible, however, to have too much of a good

thing. When we wander about the college on a spring Sunday, we are

struck by the number of scantily clad individuals haunting every quarter of
the campus. When people take the time to consider the question, they real-

ize that the impression which this state of affairs must make on the minds of

definite disapproval. ° .

Broad: Hook-Up, a comedy, in
which Ernest Truex takes the lead,
will play throughout this week. Helen

formances. In this adaptation of Bul-
wer Lytton’s play, laid around the life
of the power behind the thrown of
France’s.Louis XIII, there is an ex-
ceptionally good supporting cast, in-
cluding Edward Arnold,- Maureen
O’Sullivan and Violet Kemble-Cooper..

Arcadia: Bing Crosby, W. OC:
Fields, Joan Bennett and Gail Patrick
are in Mississippi, a dramer of the
old showboat days, when the South
was full of gambling and adventure.

Boyd: Reckless, whose principal
players are Jean Harlow, William
Powell and Franchot Tone, has the
advantages of good music and a good
cast. The plot, however, is the over-
worked one of the torch singer who
struggles to preserve her virtue and
her reputation. Even May Robson,
Henry Stephenson and Nat Pendleton
fail to raise the picture much above
the average. at

Earle: Vagabond Lady, with Rob-
ert Young and Evelyn Venable, is just
another movie. Not distinguished by
either story. or cast, it becomes noth-
ing more than a vague picture of the
struggles of young love.

Fox:. In Ladies Love Danger, -a
lady of glamor, Mona Barrie, enters
the bachelor apartment of Gilbert Ro-
land shortly after a mysterious killing

' a
takes place nearby; there the mystery
begins. Donald Cook, Adrienne Ames
and Nick Foran are other players. 4

-Karlton: On Friday Chasing Yes-
terday arrives. It is another Anne of
Green Gables type of movie. Anne
Shirley, Helen Westley and O. P. Heg-
gie have the leading roles.

Keith’s: Al Jolson and Ruby Keeler
star in the musical revue, Go Into
Your Dance, coming Fridey. The pro-
duction is compact and serves well as
a foundation forthe song-and-dance
sequences.,.Glenda Farrell, Helen Mor-
gan and Patsy Kelly have parts.

Stanley: Black Fury, in which
Paul Muri, Karen Morley and Wil-

a powerful movie in key with the

times. It is laid in a coal-mining dis-
trict where the miners undergo al-
most unbelievable hardships. Well

worth seeing.

Stanton: Saturday brings Lionel

BOOK REVIEW

The. Cingalese Prince’ py Brooks
Atkinson is difficult to classify defi-
nitely because, though a book of trav-

ard Haliburton type of yarn as it is
from the-factual accounts of some ex-
plorers, The book has the vividness and
apparent accuracy of dn actual voy-
age, but it is not without fancy, senti-
ment, and that searching inquiry into
human. nature without which a travel
book is merely an account of time and
place. y

- Mr. Atkinsofi obviously took the

| trip to get away completely from life

‘in New York. He shares the morbid
repugnance which many people feel
for the unnatural, commercialized life
of the city. External complexities,
which he feels are responsible for

oppressive burden which he cannot
avoid. He feels that life in direct con-
tact with nature is the only real life,
yet when he escapes to the sea, his
escape is never really complete because
he is unable to forget the life which
he has left. Throughout the entire
book one feels the wistfulness of the
author which interferes with his @-
pacity to be completely enthusiastic.
Mr. Atkinson leaves his reader in a
confused, unhappy state of mind, be-
cause he arouses a hatred of western
civilization without suggesting any
means of release. His depression: is
not the result of jangled nerves easily
cured by a prolonged vacation, and
hence, in spite of his trip, he returns
to the city feeling as discouraged as
when he left four months before...
Beneath this overtone of restless
unhappiness is.a very interesting and
charming account. The Cingalese
Prince, the boat on which the author
sailed, was an English freighter leav-
ing New York for the Far East. On
a well-ordered ship like The Cingalese
Prince, life is fairly carefree: each
man has his duties and his watch, but
his hours are regular and his free time
is his own. The skipper is the only
ruler, and if he is just and decent, the
crew and all the passengers are con-
tented. Romance and spice are added
to life by the continual close connec-
tion with the sea and the frequent
tussles with the combined forces of the
elements. Following the sea is.almost
the same in any ship which travels for

old schooner or a modern gil-burning
freighter. s¢ '
uncompromising to a freighter, which
commands the admiration due any gal-
lant ship when she weathers a storm
well.

After picking up assorted cargo on
the East coast, passing through the
Panama Canal, and picking up more
cargo from California, The Cingalese
Prince set straight across the Pacific
for Yokohama. This is perhaps the
most refreshing part of the voyage,
because it is here that the author
feels himself’ almost completely de-
tached from land and the troubles
which it holds for him. He glories in
being so far from civilization, and in-
stead of being impatient for the long
passage to end, he is jealous of every
hour of it. The sea in all its moods
fascinates him and the storm which
they meet is found exciting and invig-
ovating, . -

Upon reaching land Mr. Atkinson
returns to his vague, unhappy vhiloso-
phizing. Although he imparts vivid-
ness and brilliance to scenes in the
Orient, he is never completely satis-
fied. Almost every port brings. him
| sorne unhappiness; and even when a
placegis completely to his liking, he
compares its beauties with a1l the evils
of Western civilization. The languid,
graceful beauty of Eastern life he
considers more civilized than the high-
ly-developed, busy existence in the
western world.

The Cingalese Prince, in collecting
a cargo for America, visits a number
of out-of-way ports as well as those
on-the main thoroughfare. At each of
these the author disembarks and goes
on a tour of discovery. His chief in-

sightsee, but to observe the people and
their customs. His remarks are often
very amusing and give the atmosphere
of the country in a few words.

Mr. Atkinson’s style is readable and
vivid. By it the reader is picked up
and carried along by*the author and
made to share the latter’s experiences
and point of view. Literary style and
organization are forgotten in The Cin-
galesé Prince, which rambles along,
following the author’s train of thought
as he recalls to himself his delightful

Bryn Mawr Conquers

Decisive Score of 5-0 Proves

Varsity’s Worth on Courts
As Racqueters +

NEAT PLACING APPARENT

Last Saturday saw the Bryn Mawr
Varsity, very jaunty in their white

‘shorts, beat the Ursinus tennis team

to the tune of 5-0. However, the
games were not so uninteresting nor’so
one-sided as the- score would seem to
indicate. Saturday’s ideal weather in-
spired both teams to play beautiful
tennis. ' The games throughout’ were
characterized, not by swift drives and
smashing balls, but by steady playing

and neat placing.

Bertha Francis played for Ursinus
and Betty Faeth for Bryn Mawr in
the first singles match. Although Miss
Francis was an exéellent player,
Faeth’s easy, neat strokes and clever
placing handed her two sets in a row.

Betty Perry was pitted against
Ruth Le Cron. The first set went to
Perry; but Le ‘Cron’s remarkably

steady play evened the score by tak-
ing the second set, 6-2. We began to
see shades of last year, when Bryn
Mawr acquired the unprofitable habit
of winning the first set and handing
the next two to the opponent. This
did not happen on Saturday, however,
for Betty Perryӎame back again af-
ter a short rest, of which both the
players had felt the need, and took
the last set, chalking up a _ second
point for Bryn Mawr.

Peggy Jackson likewise is to be con-
gratulated on her fine tennis in the
third singles match. She was up
against a good player, but had the ad-
vantage of being quicker on her feet.
After winning the first set, she slow-
ed up, allowing her opponent to run
‘the second set up to deuce; but at
this point she recovered herself, and
won the next two games, thus cinch-
ing the match.

Lastly came the first and second
doubles matches, in the latter part of
which Peggy Little appeared on the
court as Peggy Jackson’s teammate.

Summary:

First. Singles—Francis, - Ursinus,
vs. Faeth, B. M.; won by Faeth, 6-3,
6-3.

Second Singles—Le Cron, Ursinus,
vs.. Perry,. B. M.; won by Perry, 6-3,
2-6, 6-1.

Third Singles—Barnett, Ursinus,
vs. Jackson, B. M.;-won by Jackson,
6-1, 8-6.

First Doubles—Francis and _ Le
Cron, Ursinus, vs. Faeth and Perry,
B. M.; won by Faeth and Perry, 6-2,
6-1.

Second Doubles — Barnett and
Gaser, Ursinus, vs. Jackson and Lit-
tle, B. Mi; won-by Jackson and Lit-
tle, 6-2, 6-2.

It is difficult to discover and dis-
criminate among the contemporary
tendencies. Archibald MacLeish, the
most authentic of contemporary poets,
is transparently clear. The same
cannot be said of a great many others.
Mr. Leach declared himself at the
moment incapable of understanding
“the extremists of the aesthetic left

The statements made by Mr. Mac-
Leish in his preface to Panic apply
to poetry as well as drama.
blank verse was an appropriate med-
ium for the Elizabethans, deliberate

it is entirely unsuited to the quick-

a fdrm more akin to conversation.
Therefore Mr. MacLeish has developed

There are many forces at work on

sonality. Musically, it: shows the
struggle between the romantic and
conventional ‘elements. The last part,
which ends with the striking of bells, |
foreshadows the second act of Dice!
Meistérsinger. Myr. Alwyne rendered |
the varying moods of this selection |
with sympathy and humor. His tech-
nique, as always,* was. perfect and,
in spite of the great difference be-
tween the various parts, he was able
to consolidate them into a musical |
whole.



The second part of the program
ended with two contrasting works of
Brahms. The Intermezzo in B is.a
quiet, thoughtful composition’ difficult
to handle without monotony. The
Rhapsodie in.G Minor, Opus 79, is, on
the other hand, romantic, colorful, and
tempestuous. The piece presents
technical, as well as expressionist dif-
ficulti¢s, but Mr. Alwyne handled. it
with singular ability. The frills ‘and
runs were amazingly rapid and deli-
cate, in sharp contrast to the deep
chords in the base. In spite of the
constantly varying tempo and volume,
the crescendo was well sustained to
ihe climax in the abrupt surprise end-
ing.

St. Francis Preaching to the Birds,
by Liszt, a delightful musical repre-
sentation of the’old legend, was very
sympathetically played. Technical
skill was evident in this first number
of the last part of the program, as it
was in the following Chopin-Liszt,
The Maiden’s Wish. Amberley Wild
Brooks, by John Ireland, a light, im-
aginative piece, full of runs and trills,
was played with delicate touch in ac-
curate tempo.._Mr, Alwyne_is to be
highly complimented on his splendid
performance of Scriabin’s Prelude for
the Left Hand. This piece requires a
perfect technique in the left hand
which, though a stumbling block for
many pianists, apparently holds no
difficulties for Mr. Alwyne. The tone
was rich and full of variety, and a



distinct melody was maintained in)

Mr. Marriner Returns To Lecture
Announcement has been made by
the Philadelphia Committee of the
Founding of the College that Mr. Guy
Marriner will give another series of
lecture-recitals on the first three,
Tuesdays in May. The series which
Mr. Marriner gave -this fall on the
pianoforte music of the seventeenth,
eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries,
was a brilliant success. Mr. Marriner
fs not only an excellent pianist, but
also a fine lecturer, and his concerts

“are therefore most fpteresting and en-

lightening. His method is to give a
very brief biographical sketch of the
composer and an explanation of the
period in, which he belonged. Mr.
Marriner then plays pieces which il-
lustrate the individual talents of the
artist and the musical ‘tendencies of
the period.

The lecture-recitals to be given this
May are on the Modern Composers.

Memorial Service Held :
To Honor Dr, Noether

&

Goodhart, April 26.The coming of
Dr. Emmy Noether to Bryn Mawr in
November, 1933, was an event of great
importance to this immediate commun-
ity, and to all American learning. At
the memorial service for the great wo-
man mathematician, Miss Park stated
that Dr. Noether possessed a creative
ability that not only expressed itself
in her own work, but also became a
part of the intellectual fabric of other
scholars... She’had the rare. gift of.
fertilizing the minds with which she

'came in’ contact.

The speaker at the service, Dr, Her-
mann Weyl; of The Institute for Ad-
vanced Study at Princeton, is more
able than anyone to speak of Dr.
Noether’s life and work, for he has
worked with her both here and abroad.
She was born on the 23 of March,
1882, in.the small university town of
Erlangen. Her youth was ‘spent in
an. .atmosphere of mathematics, since
her father was a great professor at
the university, and her younger broth-
er, Fritz, was a mathematician also.
She had a strong sciéntific kinship
with Paul Gordon, whom: she revered
deeply, although her work soon turn-
ed to a different direction from his.

Her education was a solid one. She
was’ extremely interested in all
achievements of intellectual culture,
and possessed the ability of appreci-
ating them to the full. Her life, no
doubt, would have been a comparative-
ly normal one, had it not suddenly
become possible for girls to enter on a
scientific career without too much dis-
approval. She received her Ph.D. at
Erlangen in 1907, and in 1913 lec-
tured there, taking her father’s place
whenever. he was_ ill. -In- 1922, she
became a professor at G6éttingen, a
strong center of mathematical activ-
ity, where she remained until 19383.
She was somewhat too erratic in her
lecturing; but she was inspiring, and

many of her suggestions and far-see-
ing remarks took final, shape in the
mind of her pupils, whom she loved,
and with whom she lived in close con-
tact. In the spring of 1933, the storm
of national revolution broke, and Jews
were prohibited from, participation in
all academic activities. Dr, Noether,
however,: always a convinced Pacifist;
retained a conciliatory spirit amid the
hate’ and sorrow of that summér.
After she left Géttingen, she came
to Americagas a guest of The Insti-
tute for Advanced Study, and as Vis-
iting Professor in Mathematics at
Bryn Mawr.

Her importance in the field of alge-
bra cannot be over-stressed. She was
one of the greatest mathematicians
that the world has even known, and
the greatest one of her sex. She was,
above all, influential in the change in
the point of view. of algebraists from
the concrete .to the’ conceptyal ap-
proach. Her interest lay carfioinity
in placing ‘algebra on the basis of
independent axioms. From 1907‘ un-
til 1919 she was chiefly concerned with
the formal theory of invariants. Her
genius was late to mature, and it
was not until 1920 that she started
her work. on the ideal theory. From
1926 until her death, she was inter-
ésted chiefly in investigating the struc-
ture of non-commutative algebras. Her
strength lay in her ability to operate -
abstractly with concepts.

is necessary for preservation of men-
tal balance. All thinking human be-
ings have ideals of themselves; they
need a dignified standard of mind in
order to act through life in a normal
way. Yet this dignity cannot be
achieved, nor this ideal realized, with-
out a repose of nerves to support the
strain.- Unless the repose is natural,
or unless it is won by practice of de-
tatchment, the nerves break, and man’s
dignity of mind is lost. Therefore
meditation is needed to maintain the
ideals and the normality of all people.

Ghandi*exemplifies perfectly the no-
bility of soul given by serene repose.
Althaugh he has worked all his life
for India’s freedom, he would rather
have her remain in bondage for 5,000
yeats to come, than kill one English-
man for her liberty. . His love of men,
which is nobler but more difficult than
love of country, is kept dominant in
him by his detachment from’ things
which might excite the easier and less
noble principle. Once *Ghandi was
waging a labor battle with the govern-|
ment in South Africa. On the very
point of victory, he learned that the
prime minister was being forced to di-
vert some of his strength to another
tréuble. At once, Ghandi called off
his attack and waited until his oppon-
ent was fully prepared to resist.

The detachment of the Hindus is
not apathy or callousness. It is a
protection from evils, yet it does not
prevent benefits. It removes the weak-
ness from affection and emotion, and |
the intoxication from experience, |
while it preserves the truth of the
feeling. Far from destroying ambi-
tion, it is indispensable to its suc-
cess. All schemes and enterprises re-
quire planning, and planning requires
a certain amount of serenity. In In-
dia, even eating is a tranquil medita-
tion, a communion with God, which a
man performs in solitude. When men
are together, detachment is still de-
sirable, because it permits them to re-
gard not only themselves, but each
other, as symbols of human dignity.

When the symbol or idea of medi-
tation is completely grasped, the. ¢x-
perience is beyond description. There
is a tremendous- emotion involved;
people_who have heard real silence
have wept with joy to think that stich
power exists in simple things. They
touch another, infinite mind they never
dreamed so near. But since Ameri-
cans are not habituated to contempla-
tion, they should not strive for its
perilous heights. They have no
standards to judge right or wrong,
and they are more apt to accept the
fallacious evidence of ecstacy than the
true. Only for practical reasons, for
the better living of a normal life,
should they practice meditation, and
so far as this is their reasonable pur-
pose, meditation is invaluable to
them.

academies, claiming that they stifled |
genius rather than stimulated it, and|
refused to consider becoming a candi-|
date for the Académie Frangaise. Dur- |
ing his connection with Frederick, |
king of Prussia, he wrote of the
windy members of the Académie who
gravely discussed periods and commas. |

However, in 1746 he was elected to}
the Académie, after being forced. to|
humiliate himself because of the scorn |

he had lavished on the principles of | ——

the society. He chose as the subject |
of his maiden address the praises of |
Cardinal Richelieu, so-called founder |
of the Académie, proving thereby that |
he knew how to compliment it as well |
as attack it.. Voltaire Was one who
ardently defended the reputation of
Corneille when the Cid was condemn-|
ed by the Forty.

As he grew older his bitter mock«|
eries of the Académie lessened, and |
he began to recognize formally the |
outstanding merits of such an institu- |
tion. His work on the Dictionary of |
the Académie was invaluable, and his
ardor in this work precipitated his
death.

Miss Morrow chose as her subject
La Fontaine and his election to the
Académie, which was by no means a
simple procedure. He had to combat
the disapproval of his former conduct,
at a time when the tendency of the



Boileau, who was a candidate for the
same vacant seat. Many of the mem-
bers were very favorable toward the
election of La Fontaine, but a number
of the more devout. members had been
shocked by the former .works. of this
xreat poet, and preferred Boileau. The
king, Louis XIV, who was at that time
entering upon his period of piety and
devotion to Madame de Maintenon,
also favored Boileau. La Fontaine
persuaded Madame de Thiange to in-
tercede for him With the king. She
did this at a masked ball, knowing
well how the king would be in his best
mood at such an occasion. It was only
with the occurrence of another vacan-

ey which Boileau could fill that La,

Fontaine was elected.

His first and only address to the

members of the Académie had brevity
for almost its only merit. He was
never an orator, and afterward he
made no contribution to the oral ac-
tivity of the Académie. He had, how-
ever, through, exertions remarkable
for one who was habitually of an
‘dle temperament, gained the honor of
being one of the distinguished Forty.

After the decision was announced,
the members of the jury spoke briefly.

| M.:de -Verneuil told how’ difficult the

decision had been and saw that the
inatter of difficulties overcome had
been one of the important points of
judgment. M. Schinz recalled that
Miss Schenck, Dean of the Graduate
School, .had chosen for the subject of
her doctor’s dissertation one of the il-
lustrious men who have not been mem-
bers of the Académie, and by her re-
mnarkable thesis had gained the honor
of being Dean. M. de Cons wished
ihat}the medal, which was to go to the

‘winner, might be divided and shared

by the candidates.



Hypothesis In Science

Traced by Dr. Becker



Deanery, April 29.—Dr. F. C.
Becker, professor of philosophy at Le-
high University, discussed the Pole
and Nature of Hypothesis in Natural
Science, emphasizing the. facts that
Newton gave them no place in scien-
tific methods and that his discoveries
are deduced from experiments and
not from hypotheses. He briefly trac-
ed the use of hypotheses from Aris-
totle to Newton and showed that the

‘importance of Newton and of Galileo

in the development of science is their
rejection of the dual world theory of
Aristotle and their consequent insist-
ence that what they discovered was

not mere hypothesis but — scientific
truth.
Dr, Becker began by quoting from

the “Scholium Generale”? at the end
of. the Principia, in which Newton in-
sists that he has not explained gravi-
tation, but that he has merely deduc-
ed the fact that gravity exists. He
makes no hypotheses because — they
have no place in empirical science.
Newton’s concern that the prejudg-
‘nents based on not easily discernible
facts, which make up_ hypotheses,
should not be associated with him is
seen in the correspondence which he
had with Pardies and others in his
articles in Philosophic Transactions
for the year 1672. Throughout his
life he fought the accepted notion
that hypotheses determine facts, and
steadfastly maintained that they could
be used only as explanations of facts.

The problem of hypothesis was first

'diseussed by Plato, who asked what

movements, circular, regular or per-
fect, were taken as hypotheses in ob-
serving the motions of the planets.
From Plata to Galileo, science concern-

guarding the apparent. Aristotle dis-
tinguished between the sub-lunar and
the celestial spheres, each of which had
separate laws, and this distinction was
accepted. until , Galileo’s time. Ptol-
emy accepted this point of view and
said that celestial physics did not
exist and that no hypothesis could ex-
plain astronomical facts. ~He,—-and
Greeks like Hipparchus, tried to con-
estruct a geometric structure which,
while admittedly not corresponding to
facts, was a¥ least one representation
of the apparent motion of the planets.
The Neo-platonist Proclus defined an
hypothesis as a concept which is not
meant to explain the reality behind

to’ explain the motions themselves,
which constitute the reality. The
real is therefore irregular and. many
hypotheses will explain it equally
well. The astronomer does not start
with an hypothesis, but with the con-
clusion, and makes the hypothesis fit
the facts.

In the thirteenth century this con-
ception of the science was accepted
and amplified by St. Thomas Aquinas,
who allowed metaphysically false hy-
potheses to be. held because man can
only have an approximate knowledge
of these mysteries. . This was fortu-
nate for seience three centuries later,
since it meant that any scientific posi-
tion, no matter how unorthodox, could
be presented as a possible hypothesis.
Averroes “revolted against the Ptole-
maic school, since he saw that to ex-
plain motion it set up abstract geo-
metrical fictions as real motions which
were, impossible to explain in terms of
the. hypothesis which created them.

Copernicus was not the revolution-
ary figure which tradition has made
him, since his idea of the solar system
was not advanced as a truth, but only
as another guess. His disciple Osi-
ander said that astronomy must find
causes for motion which will allow
past and future calculations to be
made. It is not important whether
these causes are true or not. Galileo
was the first to break away from the
Aristotelian dualism and ‘the insist-
ence of the Church that all scientific
knowledge must be hypothesis only.
He was condemned as a heretic in
1633 because he said that his observa-
tions were not theories but truths. The
issue was philosophical, not physical;
it concerned the nature of hypotheses
in- scientific investigation. __Newton
followed Galileo in assuming that
there was one physics which applied to
earthly and celestial bodies. He made
discoveries from observation and not
by hypothesis. When refracting light
through a prism, he noticed that its
pattern was oblong, not circular like
the hole through which the beam had
passed, and concluded therefore that
light is: composed of rays which have
different angles of refraction. Facts,
not hypotheses, were used by this
great man, the scientist par excel-
lence.



The American way of progress is
in danger. We speak not of any “red
seare” or of imminent revolution; we
speak of Fear. Thousands of people
and numerous organizations in our
country are afraid of democracy. They
have lost faith in the American tradi-
tion. They wish to uphold only those
parts of the Constitution which are
to their own liking, or which support
their own private privileges without
regard to the rights of all men.

Operetta of Glee Club
Moves to Final Stage



(Especially Contributed by Joan
Hopkinson, .’35)

As in other years, the Glee Club’s

production of Pirates of--Penzance
again promises to be a huge success.
The choruses and cast have been re-
hearsing since February, but despite
such set-backs as thé measles epi-
demic and the limited time for re-
hearsing,,the show is now in its final
stage. _
_ Sylvia Hvans isin charge of the
construction and Edéth Rose and Olga
Muller have’ designed the scenery. Act
One calls for a rocky coast in Corn-
wall, and already, if one wanders past
the stage door of Goodhart, one can
see brilliant red and orange canvas
rocks drying in the sun, while the
stone arches which make up_ the
scenery of Act Two, laid amid Gothic
ruins, are now adorning the walls of
Goodhart and are:so realistic that one
is confused as to what kind of archi-
tecture one is looking at.

The story of Pirates is typical of
most Gilbert and Sullivan operettas.
Frederick, apprentice to an aristo-

cratic band of Cornwall pirates, is a
-young man whose sense of duty is

enormous, whether he be called upon
to prove it by fair means or foul. He
falls in love with Mabel, the eldest
daughter of General Stanley. The
General is a lucky man because he not
only has thirty daughters (“all of
whom are beauties”) of about the
same age, but because he is also the
possessor by purchase of some mag-
nificent Gothic ruins, and can defend
these, and his daughters, from harm
by having at his beck and call twelve
stout policemen. These and their ser-
geant have not developed a sense ‘of
duty to the same pitch as Frederick’s.
When duty calls they quake; but they
screw up their courage when they
need it by the magic formula “Taran-
tara, Tarantara, Tarantara.”

The plot is ingenious, working on
the above elements, and centering
on a mistake in Frederick’s age. The
denouement comes in Act Two after a
vigorous battle between the police and
pirates, and the curtain falls on sev-
enty-odd people, all of whom are
happy because they have become en-
gaged to be married.

Gilbert and Sullivan wrote most of
the Pirates of Penzance while they
were in America, supervising Pzina-
fore in 1879. There was danger that
American managers might get hold of
the music and produce it before it
could be officially produced in London,
for there was no protection of royal-
ties. The Pirates therefore had its
world premiere in New York, on De-
cember 31, 1879, with Gilbert. direct-
ing the staging, and Sullivan conduct-
ing the orchestra. New York went
wild over it, and companies were sent
out-to different cities. In April it
was produced at the Opera Comique
in London, under D’Oyly Carte’s man-
agement, and settled down for an un-
broken run of more than fowr hun-
dred_performances. It was a magnifi-
The music was sung
in all the fashionable salons: of Lon-
don, and played on every street-organ.
An eminent Latin scholar even went

In an attempt, to gain the immedi-
ate and unconditional reinstatement of
six prominent students suspended ap-
parently for anti-war activities at
Hunter College, a student committee
has asked for organizations through-
out the country to send their protests
to President Eugene Colligan.

In an open letter the Committee
states, “These suspensions, so clearly
an attack on strike preparations,
aroused the indignation of the student:
body. 2200 striking students on April
12 sent a delegation of 250 to Presi-
dent Colligan demanding reinstate-
ment of three suspended students. An-
gered and confused by the delegation,
he ordered Dean Egan to discipline
the three spokesmen. Next day these
three students were suspendéd from
college indefinitely, charged with ‘un- -
willingness to comply with college reg-
ulations concerning the deportment .of
students,’ ’”’—(N. S. F. A.)

tuitively the fundamental proportions
and relationships in nature on which
to base the proportions of his picture.
In a masterpiece the rhythm, power,
and: lines of movement bring to the
observer an instantaneous realization
of oneness in an organic whole. ‘

Amon the many individual elements
to be worked into an organic whole is
the form of the primary motion in the
picture. Aside from the predominant
figure:eight form, the spiral and the
S-shaped forms are also numerous in
Italian Renaissance masterpieces. Al-
though the flowing type of line is gen-
eral in this work, the jagged, the
choppy, and the intensely energetic
types also occur frequently. Where
each of these kinds of line requires a
different muscular motion to execute
it, it is the reflection of this that is
seen, for the whole body goes through
unconsciously the same movements as
the line organization of the composi-
tion. The repetition of line motions in
a series of the same rhythms repeated
brings great intensity. The direction
of lines must also be carefully organ-
ized so that the ‘eye instinctively fol-
lows in a given direction. Often a
strong rhythmic pattern is interrupt-
ed, and the energy traveling along the
broken line is thus shot into the open
area, which becomes charged -with en-
Examples of this are to he

| senting the quality of the figures and





ing. In the figure eight form, the sub-
sidiary lines, which often .enter atthe
side of a composition and help to carry
the general motion toward the| axis,
are occasionally varied with harsh
lines on one side and flowing side on
the other,

This technique is used to particular-
ly good effect in El .Greco’s Christ
Driving the Money Changers from the
Temple, in which another striking de-
vice is also employed: that of repre-

the objects painted in the quality of
the rhythm of the line itself. A vari-
ation of these two devices is, to be
seen in Sassetta’s Christ in Limbo,
where the fundamental linear motion
is spiral with the figure of Christ in
the center, while directly across and
in opposition to this basic movement
comes the horizontal line made by the
figures of Satan and the devils.

There are many different ways to}
analyze a picture, and one of the tests |



of a masterpiece is in the number am |
variety of different: organizations to‘
be found in it. While many critics
analyze pictures solely from the view |
of the mass or line structure, Mr.
Kimball prefers that’ of line motion
and rhythm: In El] Greco he finds an
artist with a complete conception and
understanding of these values of line
and rhythm, in many of the master’s
pictures the varied lines of moving
water are so employed that each line,
although different, is swept into the
motion of the whole. The famous

there are often numerous small cir-

not built upon one basic linear organi-
zation.

BOOK REVIEW ,

Samuel -Rogers’ Dusk at. the Grove
is the story of the’ life of our day as
it is lived by the people of our day.
It is not exciting and breath-taking;
neither is it imbued with high morals
and hidden truth. It is simply a pic-
ture of the world, presented to us in
such a way that we see it more clearly
than our own eyes can show it. to us,
or rather, than they do show it to us.

For characters, Mr. Rogers has cre-
ated the Warings, a minister, his wife.
He has placed
them in the scenery of “The* Grove,”
their beautiful country home: near
Newport, and for crises he has chosen
five significant, periods in the life of
the family. When the book opens,
they are on their way to “The Grove”
for the summer, The children are still
very young, and the parents are not
yet old. We see them safely to -their

exciting destination, and then leap
over the years into 1919. The daugh-
ter, Linda, has. grown into a young
woman, engaged to be married. The
boys, Brad. and Dicky, have just re-
turned from the war. In 1928 we see
them once more. Linda has become a
mother, Brad and Dicky .are’ mature
men, and Mrs. Waring is a wilfed old
lady. The story dnds in 1929 with the
sale of “The Grove.”

The narrative itself is devoid of
much interest. Until one has. read

the book, and has come face to face
with its truth, one cannot realize its
value.. By meeting the characters at
intervals, at moments. signfficant in
their lives because they mark a defi-
nite stage in the*existence of each, |
we can watch the gradual passage of |
time, the advent of maturity, and the
sudden effect of old age.

Mr. Rogers has given fife to every
one of. the Warings. He recounts
what they are thinking and why they |
doit. The three hundred pages- of
the book cover just five days, and five







days in‘ which very little actually takes
place in the external nee It is the
life in the interior worlds that covers
the pages. Thé characters have ideas
and opinions and . sensations that
everyone thinks peculiar to himself.

Dusk at the Grove is an extremely
interesting experiment in a medium’
which is not new, but which is gaining
in popularity day by day. To one who
is not of a thoughtful disposition and

even somewhat of a dreamer, the
method ‘might seem to *be carried

slightly too far, and to verge overmuch
on’ the abstract. At the same time,
the final impression made by the book
is somewhat dark, since it paints life
in-colors that are a little more drab
than necessary—M. H.

Reviewer Save Lantern - Shows

Lack of Clear Conception,
Adequate Ideas"



EXPRESSION EMPHASIZED

* (Especially Contributed by Dr. Nahm)
Two not unrelated aesthetic prin-
ciples form the basis of the Lantern’s
editorial for the month of March.
The first, “There is no greater pre-
cept for’ art, than—that art should in-
struct as well as delight,” is a clear
indication that the phrase, “Art for



Art’s “Sake,” has lost» its magic for:

the newer generation of undergradu-
ate authors. The second principle,
“The time has come for us to react
against the cult of ugliness. for ugli-
ness’ sake,” is the more interesting
for the purposes of this review, for
while the editorial has an interesting
and valuable position to maintain, the
elaboration of its attack on ugliness
points to an initial lack of clarity ‘in
conception. It cannot be argued that
one must withhold imitation of auth-
.ors who follow the principle of “ugli-
ness for ugliness’ sake” and at the
same time find “new values for the
satire of this age,” if satire be de-
fined (as the editors do define it) as
the ugly with the addition of an ideal,
a norm or a standard.

Now the reviewer grams that a
minor matter has been given an im-
portance out of all proportion to its
merit as criticism, but the stories and
poems in the Lantern seem to him to
be marked by a similar lack of clarity
in conception or to be betrayed by an
inadequacy of ideas. The weakness is
more’ evident in the poetry than in the
prose, largely because the writers of
verse, straining for the expression of
ideas incompletely thought out, occa-
sionally use’ conceits and_ technical
phrases to hide the defects of their
work. The prose in the Lantern shows,
rather, inadequacy of idea and imagi-
nation. In a sense, however, these
limitations have been factors in
strengthening the writers’ work, for
it has led them to adopt simple,
straightforward themes and to ex-
press those themes with technical ade-
quacy.

The simplicity of theme -and-the em-
phasis upon the mode of expression
lend ‘to the prose in the Lantern the
characteristics of the vignette or the
pastel. The Elm Tree, by Augusta
Arnold, is essentially the description
of a mood. It tells of a boy’s swim
by moonlight: and, while one may
wonder that so great a variety of con-
crete and sensible descriptive quali-
ties could be perceived in a world in
which “everything stands out in a
black and white design,” one happy
phrase is indicative of the writer’s oc-

* casional skill: for of the boy in the
water Miss Arnold says, “Looking
down he saw himself looking up.’ Sim-
ilarly, E. V. R. Kent’s Shelling Peas
attempts ‘pictorial poetry” within a
brief scope. The simplicity of story
and the predominance of introspective
analysis characteristic of the Lantern
are well illustrated in Reminiscence,
by Elizabeth D- Putnam, and in The
Check, by Nancy Foss. In’ Remi-
niscence, Miss Putnam constructs for
our imagination the over-vivid and
distorted sense of guilt in a girl of
thirteen, whose misappropriation of a
magazine is coincident with the illness
and death of her nurse. The prose is
good and the problem, “Right had been
on my side, and yet I had, without
doubt, been wrong,” gains force
through the directness of the style.
Miss Foss’ The Check tells with equal
conviction of the futile attempt of a
railroad engineer to escape the monot-
ony and debasement of his wife-ridden
life. The futility of his effort is the
more forcibly depicted because of the
pettiness of the means by which his
sudden resolve to free himself is de-
stroyed: a moment’s indecision, a
broken shoelace, a moving bus. Miss
Foss does her story so well that in
its brief space we have learned that
with such a man any incident she
might have recounted would have end-
ed in precisely the same Way.

finda its theme rather in the analysis
of feeling than in the elaboration of
incident. Belonging to the genre of
the fantasia, it is a, more. elaborate
aitempt than is most of the prose in
‘he Lantern.. Miss Lyle has imagina-
‘ion and displays skill in the use. of

«words; but the tale is, on the whole,

unconvincing. Not even the employ-
ment of the device of increasing the
tempo of the prose as the story
reaches its climax will convince us
that Hugh’s adventure is within the
realm of “likely impossibliity.”

Of the verse in the Lantern, it is!

perhaps fdir to say that no one of
theefforts*of Edith Rose, Evelyn H.
Thompson and Gertrude V. V. Fran-
chot shows a complete blending of idea
and expression, but that all have par-
ticular pagsages of merit. From Miss
Thompson’s Song, it is difficult to
quote, since its effect is secured by
means of a recurrent’ word and idea.
Miss Rose, in Evening. on the Desert,
gives us one striking image in
sys

“Winds chase the heat
From where it’s curled itself asleep

against a hollowed dune,”

only to fall prey to the idea of the
moon spilling “The charms that freeze
the desert into stone.”
