READ MSS. HERE IN 1919.
Lord. Dunsany will speak in Taylor
Hall next Monday afternoon at three
o'clock, under the auspices of the Phoebe
Anne Thorne School. The college has
not had such an opportunity,of hearing
him since 1919, when the famous Trish
playwright read some of his own works,
among. them the then unpublished play,
“The Comptomise-of the King of the
Golden Isles,”-from-his~ manuscript.
Lord Dunsany needs little introduction.
We are all of us acquainted with ‘his
poetry and his plays. His play be$t
known to us is doubtless “If,” a charm-"
ing fantasy with a+ depth of meaning
beneath its quaintness.
George Russel said of Lord Suuany
in’ his lecture on Irish Personalities in
Literature, last month, that “he is dn
anomaly, an Irishman unaware that. he
- has a country. He seems to regard the
universe as a mere excrescence on his
imagination. In his youth ‘in his an-
cestral castle he lived in a remote world
of which he used .to draw
He had a great gift
for drawing and for mythological in-
_vention,. which he combined in pictures*

of his own,
“The field for women in business is
new, but not™ tod new, to contain excess
competition,” said Mr. Hefry Wise Miller
in, chapel. Friday morning. The. oppor-
tunities . infhis field are considerable and
do not require long: techmtical traitittig.-
One. of the. best openings” for. .«w-se+
‘is in the banking business. A bank is
a unique institution whose business it is
to obtain money and sell it to investors.
‘A banker, therefore, must ,have certain
definite qualities; and: these qualities aré
usually’ present in women.
The banker’s first business is to look
for depositors. This may be done in
various* ways, but is usually accomplished
hy a general canvassing of the com-
munity, followed bya large amount of
persuasion. ‘The. process is very com-
_ splex. A banker must know an individual’s
business *better than the individual him-
“self knows- it:
optimistic. The banker ,must, therefore,
_attempt to strike a happy medium be-
tween what the, individual wants and
what it is advisable for him a sit This
requires a large number of separate de-
patents for investigation, and it is
ere that women are particularly suc-
cessful. - General surveys of the situation
show that women are especially well
adapted to this kind of work.
Opening in Investment Banking.
A second opening for women lies in
the Investment Bank. + This business,
very much increased since the war, is
more complicated and requires more
. people. The business consists in buying
up securities wholesalé and selling them
retail. to’ individual investors. Here the
banker. is the first investor. He must
find out the value of the securities, their
‘relation to the rest of the market, and
just how and when they will sell, All
this requires experience and is done by
a large staff’ of statisticians. _ A»good
statistician, with the common sense to
interpret the ups and downs of the mar-
ket, is priceless. These departments offer
particularly excellent opportunities for
women,
The - sellingend—of—the-—Investment

position of bond salesman, however, is

IDEAS* NOT - OBSOLETE
“To give a long course in Ibsen would
be easy enough, but to speak on him’ for
ten minutes is “hard,” said Dr. Prokoseh
in chapel on Monday morning. . The
essence of Ibsen is that he grew so
-
much, not in powes, {~*~ waried, mani=|~
fold insight into human life. His great-
est. works, Brand and Peer Gynt, he
wrote at.theage of sixty. But it was in
his fifties that he began to unfold, His
first-idea—-was- that--women- were-the-pil-
fairs of society, but this he corrected and
said that freedom and truth.were. That
triangle, of women, truth, and freedom,
formed a pendulum which he_ kept
swinging through the rest of his drama
-| with the greatest. regularity, producing a
play: every two years. He thought that
women could be the pillars of society if
you let them, but they must have free-
dom; and there must be truth in all the
dealings of society, including those with
women, Thus he continued to stress, one
problem.
Always New ‘in Fight for Freedom.
There” have been many articles in
newspapers and ‘magazines dyring the
past week on the subject of- Ibsen, irri-
tating, supercilious articles that have
as. obsolete. This is ter-
“rionisenser he, ere Was one
problem in which-he was more a leader
than any other—the equality of man and
woman, We have advanced so much
that the Doll’s House seems obsolete to
us, but it may not in one or two hun-
dred years; such things go in tycles.
And we are not in the least closer to
actual» freedom than we were in the
eighties and nineties, when Ibsen was in
the midst of his work. ‘We may wear
short skirts, and we may even smoke,
but these liberties.may be lost. In the
fight for freedom, Ibsen will always be
new. . The greatest task. of mankind is
the attempt to’ enslave each other: There
is more danger of this, and hence more:
dangér to freedom, in a democracy than
in an autocracy. fs
Will Endure Like Sophocles.
With a few exceptions, Ibsen is not a
writer of social plays. More and more,
at least since the eighties, he became a
writer of individual problems, of which
the highest is the question of one’s per-
sonality,. what it is, and how it may best
be expressed. He is as little obsolete
in that as is “Sophocles-in the~Antigone,
where he presents the problem as to
whether Antigone can develop her per-
sonality. He is no more obsolete than
any of the great Greek writérs, or
Shakespeare or Milton.

At last the class of 1931 has broken
the spell and won a class championship.
They won the right to fly the flag of
victory by .defeating 1929, 14-39. It
could scarcely, be-called a brilliant game,
for sloppiness and lack of team. work
‘seemed to characterize the general play-
ing. True, the Junior forwards were
fast whenever they .got the ballp and
Humphreys and Sappington were some-
times almost startfng in their long
spectacular baskets, but these
were very spasmodic, in the first half,
Packard made more trouble
the forwards seemed to realize that they
were in the same room with each other,
and the score benefited accordingly. Fre-
quently. walking slowed matters”up a
bit; the Juniors were too far-behind to
catch up, and Boyd’s accuracy was only
a swan’s song to a rather mediocre
game.
-The-line-vif was as follows:
1929—Boyd, Humphreys, ,Poe, Swan,
Balch, Cook. Substitution, .Packard for
Cook,:::
1931—Sappington, Humphreys, Thomp-
son, Potten, Blanchard;-and~H.- Thomas:
Sophs Win Free-For-All.
The Sophomore victory was hardly
more brilliant; in ‘fact, ‘it was more of
a free-for-all than a_basketball’ game.
Bethet distinguished herself by very good
dodging and dribbling, but Bruere and
Morgan were not exactly effective when
they did get the ball. Hirshberg and
Sullivan tired each other: out by futile
passes. which: took them ,farther from
the basket than they were at the’ begin-
ning. Hirshberg, especially, was far too
individual, but it must be admitted that
her rather masculine type of shooting
was remarkably certain. Both teams im-
proved in the second half, but. it was
too late to- counteract the effect. which
the roughness and messiness of the first
half had had on the play. . The final
score, 18-28, for.the Sophomores, was

“The doctrine of self-sacrifice is the
law of human life,” said Dr. Bruce Tay-
lor in chapel on Sunday evening.
Today, as we look about us at the vast-
ness of. the world, the crowds of people,
the sea of. industry, we feel that we are
insignificant, We as individuals dre im-
pressed with our smallness and™~ wonder
what we are here for. This makes us
order our lives on’ the basis of our own
importance. We say to ourselves,’ “This
is my life. It is all I have. Why should
I not work for it alone?”
If we work for our lives alone we shall
find that it is hardly worth the trouble.
We cannot seem to realize that we are
only a small bundle of atoms. .We have
not yet discovered that our only ‘chance
for recognition is to form an alliance
with the great process of the ages.
Have Courage of Convietions.
* Both Elijah and Jeremiah gave their
lives, for fhe sake of their faith, Other
saints and martyrs ‘have had the courage
of their convictions...Why not all man-
kind? Man for himself is weak and
mean, but. man for God is, so great that
only the heavens compare in glory. -
“In our day and generation religion is
smirched with commercialism. “Religion is
gold to us as a piece of real estate or a
share of stock. This is obviously a fake
principle. Right should be obeyed whether
it brings reward or darkness. We should
serve God without bargaining with Him
for what we will get ‘out of it.
This does in no sense mean that we
should give up living a practical life.
Living for oneself is the most imprac-
tical way of living, for we lose the whole
‘joy of life and find ourselves old at forty.

We Must Pls i in Quiz
on Human Relationships
“The science of httman relations. will
progress just as all other sciences and
arts have inthe last cenfury,”” declared
Dr. Hornell Hagt, speaking in chapel on
Wednesday morning, March 21,
At first it is hard to realize that the
rising curve of human progress may be
applied not only to the building of bridges,
but to human relationship... Divorces-are
increasing; the relatians between em-
ployer and employee are a great fumble;
in spite of the fact that 90 per cent. of
the world’s thinking population is op-
posed. to war, we ‘seem unavoidably slip-
ping towards it. Is there, then, any real
progres§ in human relation? :
The truth is that we are just approach-
ing the stage where- we willbe able to
apply the scientific method to human re-
lations. Today-all society is built on the
principle of human equality, although it
is obvious that all men are not equal.. We
need first- a transcendent conception of
human justice, then the ability to form
a society where all the individuals com-
bine for a united effort, without counting
thécost to themselves. : ¢
. We are constantly being subjected to_a
quiz on the problem of human relations :
we Pass of we flunk; and the passage of
this qftiz makes all the difference of life.
The laboratory method is sssellal: 3 in
solving the problem of human relations.
Courses in. the social sciences—psychol-
ogy, history, anthropology, etc., should be
used.as tools to help" us build-a new so-
ciety.

C. A.
Rather startlingly, to some peo-
ple rather shockingly, ‘has come
the sg, Tg ‘that 'C. A. be,abol-
ished. Yet t@ most of the college
the association has’ little meaning,
except perhaps~in its subordinate
branches, like C. A. girls, and
Bates House. AS a Christan
force it is pitifully insfgnificant.
The college is apparently ~ no
longer stirred by the: Christian
ideal, as ‘interpreted by the asso-
ciation. __Therefore,, it_is argued,
the “aSsociation should be discon-
tinued. » Immediatery wee
_ faced wit ue peoineitr “or w hia
to do with C, A.’s many aetivities.
It fas undertaken a~treniendous
number of services whieh are
usually regarded as Christian du-|
ties. C. A. girls could be advan-
tageously taken care of by Self-
Gov., social service perhaps by
Undergrad, or under the sociology
department as a scientific study
rather than a moral obligation.
But who would look after the
maids, choir, Bates. and Sunday
‘chapel? It is astonishing to real-
ize how much C. A. has been do-
- ing. Still, if the college as a whole
has lost interest, it is perhaps
hypocritical to keep up the farce
‘of a general association. Theefew
faithful souls who’ take care, of its
activities will not cease to ‘be
faithful. As long as they are in-
terested these activities will be
self-perpetuating, like summer
school work. Probably, in a year
or two, or less than that, the need
will again be felt and a small
group~will band themselves to-
gether to form..a new’ society.
Even so, the interregnum will
have done: some good. If C. A.
really does fill a need in college
life, abolition will bring the fact
home effectively ; and the new as-
sociation, if it is ever founded,
will be based on honest and gen-
-* nine feeling.

The exatt assumption implied in the
latter sentence is somewhat obscure. °In
regard to the determination of the Music
Department to thwart the C. A. Board
at every move’ may I say that, so far
from this being ‘true, the exact opposite
is the case. During the entire time I

priate music in both Morning “Chapel

passible, as music suitable for religious

Ever since the organ in the Music
Room was presented to the-College last
June I have been in negotiation with
President Park in an attempt to make
possible some arrangement whereby the
College could. have a permanent organ-
ist and choir for all Chapel services. |
President Park and I have done all” we
can in the matter and the decision now
rests with the Board of Directors.
It is because I wish to see the music
of Chapel put on a permanent and sub-
stantial basis that- I-do~-not™think® the
idea of having a few occasional incom-
plete musical services, like the one given
two or three weeks ago, will lead to any

g—But No More
In the early years of. the twentieth cen-
tury there began a long line of 6o-called
promising poung men. ‘First of these
was Sheldon, a student at Harvard who
at nineteen wrote “Salvation Nell,” ‘a
rather feeble melodrama whose reimark-
able feature was that it wds taken di-
rectly from;'a contemporary bar-room.
A more honest attempt to get closer’ to
at least the externals of life was seen
more anxious to write effective melo-
drama than to face the’ problems »which

which weré mere retrogression. He was
promising, but nd-more: In the same
category is Eugene Walter, who. made
one somewhat: gingerly effart to face a
definite problem, in The Easiest Way,
considered by him his worst play,
though really the most powerful. Along
with these authors was a group of pro-
fessional dramatists like Charles Klein,
author of The Lion and the Mouse,
Maggie Pepper and Gamblers. He had
very little to say and .said it extremely
well, in plays which are preserved chiefly

most promising of all was Clyde Fitch,

ards were too’ easy, was not so good-as

and. The Climbers, he wrote The City,
full of. shocking. swear-words and real-
ism which would seem pale on a modern
stage. All these men, with a knowledge
of the theater and a stereotyped formula,
turned out plays which are intellectually
childish’ when compared with what was
being written by the poets and essayists
of the time. The theater was an_insti-
tution for the benefit of actors, not’ play-
wrights, moreover, and until very re-
cently, it was looked down on and
hounded by vthe authorities, who inher-
ited from the Puritans a virtuous horror

’ There ate about a:-dozen other play-
wrights who have grown up with O’Neill,
not in imitation of him, but in’a sort of
general Renaissance of the theater,
George Kelly, who was brought up in
the theater, has. so vividly portrayed
some - aspects of American life in The
Show-Of, and other plays, that he. is
actually moulding cu? own conception of
ourselves., When he tries to break into
society, as in Craig’s Wife, he fails, but
he ‘is swpreme in West Philadelphia,
where he belongs. Sidney. Howard on
the other hand, although he knows how

who graduated from Harvard in 192%”
and whose’ first successful play was a
high-class. pot boiler... He seemed. to be
just another gentlemanly author. Then
he went to Europe to write and came
back proudly* with an unpopular play,
In a Garden, which, as-he prophesied,
was not a success, though it was an
honest and brilliant attempt to tell cer-
class of people. After doing his ‘best
to ruin the producers with White Wings
arid John, both beautiful failures, he
made a great hit with Paris Bound and
Cock.Robin. The success of these two
second-rate ‘plays gives him a chance
to. writé some more unpopular first-rate
Renaissance in All Arts.

M. Champenois. The famous Chambers

A farewell’ party was given to Dr.

Dr. Prokosch, head of the German De-

ayd next semester, and will then have
a.very high position at New York Uni-

In. spite of the sadness of the ocunsion |"
the pafty was a very merry one. A Senior
Prray be a dignifted creature, and a Bryn
Mawr Sophomore may be considered the
most sophisticated of persons, but all ages
arid classes temporarily forgot their repu-
tations, and, indulged in’a riotous after-
noon. Old-fashioned games were played.
The donkey had his tail put on atrociously
many. times; peanuts were hunted. with
the ardour of younger days; and Dr.
Diez showed his prowess by jumping
over the swinging cup, and sashes off
the first prize.
The college presented Dr. Dihicach
with a chess set for a parting gift. It was
of rare, carved wood, black and white.
He acknowledged his: appreciation’ and
tuld how he hated to leave Bryn Mawr.
He said, however, that it was easier to.
leave now than later. He did not want
to have to leave in the midst of the
deauties of a Bryn Mawr spring. He
regretted that he could not stay longer
but is happy to think he has been” here
long enough to have his life enriched by
Ris association with the college.
“Although thére is nothing perfect,” he
said, “one finds here a unique and charm-
ing type that Bryn Mawr develops. Each
girl who graduates has been influenced by
seven classes. She has seven years of
‘traditions behind her, and is a factor in
the interlocking of ‘generations.”
