In the world of scholarship a doctor’s
thesis is' a portion: of — concentrated
essence. It is a futile thing in itself,
but the fact of its’ being concentrated,
causes -the intellectual outlook to: be-
come transformed and fused. . The
works of Henry James are examples of
concentration in the moral world.- Con-
centration is as powerful as bulk. This
can be proven by the apparently inef-
fectual oozing of water, which, if given
time, wil! create its effect.
Dr. Cadbury cited Pasteur as, an /ex-
ample in the world of Science. / For
many years he woxked patiently and
unseen, and made inventions that could
save as many lives in fifty years as could
be lost in seventy-five years /of war.

Vacations Next Year to
“Have Extra Week-ends
Dean Manning opened chapel Mon-
day morning by telling us that she had
a very pleasant announcement to’ make,
and indeed it proved to be much more
{than pleasant. . We. might even venture
to call it sanding: for Bryn Mawr has
broken through’ the long-clinging tradi-
tions. Lest those who were not in chapel
become unduly excited, we hasten to add
that the new regulation does not go into
effect until next year.
College will begin on Tuesday. instead
‘of the customary Wednesday, and thus,
when Saturday-~ classes are dropped off
at the end of the seméster there will be
no academic days lost. This early be-
ginning will not affect Freshman week,
or rather it will only shorten it by a day,
and not make it begin any earlier,
The second semester wilt also begin
on Tuesday, thereby shortening the’ mid-
year vacation. Commencement _ will
therefore be on Tuesday, when this new
system is in effect.
The Christmas vacations will ‘include
three week-ends instead of two, as they
do at present. This will make them more
variable, as they will have to be changed

L-selyves,’-gaid Dr,
Ag we read the newspapers today we
see that this man or woman-has gone
wrong; we .read some such story every
day of our lives. It is not a common
thing that~people go“ wrong. That is
why the newspapers print such stories;
because it is out of the ordinary it at-
tracts attention. Even the best people,
those who have led fairly respectable
lives, suddenly find themselves the cen-
ter of interest becauisé some crooked-
ness has been discovered in their lives.
Then we who read their story say that
there is no such- thing as religion; and
if there is is suchja thing, it is no good.
One of the greatest handicaps in the
world is that group of people who claim
that they believe in religion. “These so-
called “Christians” are not, on the whole,
as interesting as they ought to be. They
are the ones who give the rest’of us the
wrong idea of* religion. . We think that
being a Christian involves coldness ~fo--
ward all worldly things and a cerfain
tendency to pass judgment readily on
things which are not our concern, Con-
sequently, as young people, we say we
can do without religion, and further-
more, can live quite properly without it.
Faith Is Not in Human Beings.
Suppose that all these newspaper
cases were not isolated. Suppose ninety-
five per cent. of all the Christians in
the world were crooks. Your Christian
faith is independent of that fact. ~Our

‘OUR OWN HOUSING
PROBLEM
In our effort to abolish inessen-
tial rules we must inquire into
some of the college regulations,
ov, to rest in
peace for a while. The one that
we find most hampering is that
forbidding the presence in the halls
overnight of anyone except alum-
nae and former-students-in-good-

standing. As we look.upon some
of our sister colleges not yet dis-
rupted by the continuous preserice
of outsiders in the dormitories, we
question this regulation. Thevrea-
son most frequently given for its
existence is that “without it the
halls would become. boarding
houses. We regard this- as ab-
surd. But if the rule were
changed, and this proved to be a
true prophecy, a quota of say, four |.
overnight guests a year could be
assigned to each student. We are
weary of quartering our mothers
and small-_sisters-at the expensive
and too. often overcrowded inn, or
the nearby, but still tdo far away,
boarding houses in the village.

retaining this rule is that it is one

ARCHITECTURAL
INGENUITY
Like the ‘Tetinessee Shad, an
Princeton “youth has
fitted up: his room with all the de-
vices for simplifying life of which
every student dreams..’ He has a
noiseless alarm
fiim when the egg is ready. A
system of bells brings him water,
hot or cold, from the neighboring
showers—transmitted through fif-
teen feet of tube. Mf course suc
a. ftents-as-controbof Jights-from the.
“bed, and an automatic. door-closer
have. not been forgotten. All these
things are well -enough—indeed
we should be. glad’ to “have such
conveniences in our own ten by
twelve domicile. But there are
other devices—perhaps the Prince-
ton boy had them, the new spaper
accounts did not say—there are
other devices that seem to us
equally “essential. For instance.
how many times have we longed
to invent a page-turner when
reading in bed ona cold winter
night and very loath to bring an

arm out from under the covers.

“SING, MY SOUL”
One would think that a more
general attendance of Chapel
would tend to raise the standard
of its singing. When only ten or
twelve old faithfuls “gather at the
altar,” each one of ‘them has a
choir-member to sing for her, and
no one blames them for the muted
nothingness that issues forth
from~ their barely-tUvarg ps.
‘But when—as-in the case of a par-
ticularly attractive chapel—there
is a rather good “turn out,” the
rendition of the hymn is almost as
‘feeble, proportionately more off-
key, and only sustained to a finat
dragging AMEN by the afore-
mentioned lusty choir . Sup-
pose just for a moment, there was
an adequate number of hymnals.
Suppose everybody had brought
back all those that. they, had car-
ried away by mistake
Would this be new stimulus for
song? Or is it our voices? If
the latter: is true, we had_ better
practice community singing, or
mayhap~the-.rustleof the tree
leaves will drown our “To the

fully pipe on the fourth of May.
ABOUT MUSIC-GRINDING
What is happiness? It is one
of our weaknesses to ask ques-
tions -which we know we cannot
answer. But as human beings are
composed of this. quality, we shall
not restrain ourselves from, ask-
ing this enigma, or wondering
whet it is that makes up a happy
life. -
There are some people who
honestly declare that happiness
depends upon “worldly” comfort
and riches. - Most of. us, however,
would put the emphasis upon an
emotional basis, saying that it is
love or devotion to a cause, or the
feeling of doing good, that counts.
William Lyon Phelps in his es-
say on this subject, stresses the
intellectual requirements, saying:
“Those. people who. are most
happy /are the ones who have the.
most interesting thoughts.” —*
The failure to lead_a-happy_life |
sometimes causes suicide. Such
was the case of a Hurdy-Gurdy,
whose fecént death was reported
newspaper.
This music maker, just as’ spring
as coming around, shut himself
his rented room, turned on the
as and died. He was loved and
All at once,
his’ tunes. “He died,” said the
paper, “because he had -not. suc-
‘ceeded “in finding happiness. .He
longed for something of the spirit
which neither friends, money, his
music, nor _ this world. could give
him.”
What was the happiness the or-
gan grinder hunted? Have we all,
our different conceptions of it?.

Deluge; S. Fowler Wright,” CORT
tan Publicatiqn.
This curious. novel beats the world |
over again. There is a flood; it Jeaves
little of Europe, and nothing of England
. but a few islands with bands of roving
. Tefugees. ‘They put together the- pieces
of life, but not in the old fashion. The
» artificiality of. civilization is’ swept away,
leaving onJy primitive*instincts and primi-
tive cunning. This is the author’s idea;
- but as in desert islands stories, the- people
are allowed to keep- clothes and gtuns and
any number of. convenient things. e
does not concern -himself.too deeply with
—philosophy.—
England from the point of view of an
embittered savage; but his real concern is
a good story in a setting where war and
action are: inevitable. °
Separated from his wife and children®
and imagining «them dead, an Engli$h
lawyer chooses an. honest. and fearless
woman; defends her in a country where
women: afe .scarce—and then finds his
wife. Ultimately both women stay with
him; their decision is supposed to ex-
- emplify the clear and generous thinking
of this simple wo1ld. But we are more
interested. in the good old-fashioned ad-
venture of storms, starvation, escape,
rival gangs and slain men. Martin and
Claire defend themselves against attack
and strategy, and then come out of their
‘tunnel “hiding-place to join the gang of
the man’ who has been taking care of
Martin’s first wife. Is this the natural
order-of.a-new-swerld?. The plot moves
so fast, the style is-so-forthright-and-as-
sured, that no one cares about reality.
One accepts the characters, . vaguely
sketched as they are, along with the
thesis, Which is arrogant, banal and
shallow—for. the sake of the story.

he described passing by a churchyard a
winter night, and after climbing up to
look into a window from whence the
music ‘came, seeing the dance of the
. “dead below him who chanted as they
*
danced, “Out of it all!” At his death
his body was cremated despite his will,
and his ashes interred in ‘Westminster
Abbey, though he hae wished to lie in
his village ‘churchyard. Shortly before
Sef Eig SHE TET HH shis chureh wrote
i him asking if he still wished to be-
long to it. Hardy answered, “By all
means. count..me-among your parishion-
ers, Soon I will be permanéntly in your
keeping—only in a horizontal position.”
Concessions to Victorianism. ~
“There ‘have, been_a_ few admissions. to
his lapses in style,’ said Dr, Chew, “by
his recent critics. They have also: point-
ed out the difference between the final
form of his works and their first ap-
pearances in periodicals. He was afraid
of shocking his Victorian magazine read-
ers. In “Tess of the D’Ubervilles” three
milkmaids ‘are carried by’ Angel Clare
one ‘by one over a brook,*but in its
original form the man used a wheelbar-
tow! 2
“His poems, also, which were selected
for the Golden Treasury, were done so
for the benefit-of-thejenne—fille... Thus
some of his most typical things have
been eliminated.
“Hardy makes ‘use of coincidence and
melodramatic episodes in his novels. He
has a great variety of chatkcteristics. In
the estimates which have appeared since
his death one has to read about his pes-
simism, realism, radigalism, mornism, de-
featism, materialism and so on ad ins
finitum.
Literary Pilgrimages Are
Time-Honored.
Dr. Chew: said, that he met Hardy
when he was. well acquainted with his
_ work, There have always been pilgrim-
ages to do homage: to literary geniuses:4
Among the most famous ones are Ben
Jonson’s ‘to. Stratford, Swinburne’s to
Victor Hugo and Voltaire’s to Congreve.
At this interviéw Congreve asked the
Frenchmatt to think of him. not as a
writer, but as an.English gentleman.
Voltaire replied that -if he had thought
of him as an, English gentleman he
would not have .come to see him. Most
great men of letters avoid publicity and
receiving admirers. A few such 4s
- George Moore enjoyed receiving strang-
ers and would try out their new phrases
‘on them: - Conrad welcomed such’ pil-
gtims from kindness.) Hardy-was kind,
as-one can see in his novels, but was
much annoyed. by. curious tourists at
_ Max Gate.
“Before my visit we wandered around
Dorchester and saw the different Wes-
sex landmarks which ‘are the scenes of |
He—is—fond—of—mocking}
: less mistake,
his books. We visited the old Roman
ruins and Waidén Castle, the prehistoric
structure—an immense earthwork. From
there. we could see the village of Dor-
‘chest@r below us, and the little wood if
which was «Max Gate, Hardy’s’ homie.
With its back to Egdon Heath was the
thatched cottage which was his birth-
place, ‘midway between. the prehistoric
barrows of theBritons* and the Chris-
tian graves of his ancestors. -It will be
kept as a memorial by its present owner,
ranking with Doyg Gate-as one -of the
literary shrines of England.
“Hardy’s house,” Dr. Chew contin-
ued, “was ‘fairly large, but not, preten-
tious. His -delightful_dog greeted _us_on|
entering. After tea we talked, first of
the mutilation of Egdon Heath: by tanks
during the war. That: reminded me of
Stonehenge, where they are reinforcing
the foundations. There is a superstition
that a stone falls from it before the,
death of a sovereign. _ Perhaps this will
break the omen.”
They then discussed the epic drama,
“The Dynasts.” He had talked with
Waterloo men, in his native village and
collected more material while studying
architecture in London. He went -to
Brussels one time to try to find the lo-
cation of the badJroom where Lady
Richmond’s dance took place the night
before Waterloo. He began this drama| ®
after he‘ was..60 years old. Formerly
it did’ not end ‘at Waterloo, but had a
scene in London and one in Wessex,
which would have made a close very
chaesstesistio, ofthe Wessex poet. Dr.
Chew..spoke_.to—Mr.. Hardy of its ma-
terial form: and the latter said he loved
to experiment with new meters and new
uses for old ones.
In one of his: poems he- made a mis-
take about the burial place.of Henry the
Eighth. Dr. Chew cited it fox.the poet.
At this Mr. Hardy laughed andsaid that
when the poem. appeared with-the-care-
he réceived a letter from
the organist at Windsor Chapel saying,
“We have Harry here!”
They discussed the origin of the word
Winterbourne, used as the name of one
of his characters; it is the name of one
of the, mysterious streams filled at ‘win-
ter and dry in summer; but no one has
ever seen their breaking. After that
they talked of the disappearance of the
local idiom,.and then of the younger
writers—Hardy showed a great interest
in these. He criticized Blunt for scat-
tering® his ffiter ace athe
doing as well_as he could. Of Cénrad,
whom he had never met, he spoke very
highly, and he took a lively interest in
as
the works of Masefield, Walter de la]°
Mare, Galsworthy and others whom he
knew personally.
“To some people _Hardy appears
grim,” said Dr. Chew, “but I found him},
very kind and wholesomely mellowed.
He accompanied us to the-door and the
last words I heard him say were, as he
tapped the barometer, ‘it’ll be fair again,
tomorrow.’ ”
Settlements Best Approach
to New Social Problems
“Today the problems of the world and.
especially, those of the under-privileged |’
world are perhaps of a different nature
than they used to be, but they are just
as grave and serious problems, and just
as. difficult to solve,” declared Miss Helen
Harris, speaking in Chapel on Friday
morning.
Miss Harris advocated _ settlement
houses as the easiest method of ap-
proaching social problems. She cited as
an example her own settlement, Kingsley
House, in Pittsburgh. Wonderful things |
are being achieved there; the older gener- |,
ation is gradually becoming reconciled’ to
the ways of the new generation that has
almost entirely discarded Old World
standards; racial prejudices are being
rooted out through a unique. all-nations
basketball team, which includes players of.
all nationalities; religious” antipathies
seem to be gradually disappearing when
we learn that the Pillars of Truth Socie-
ty, Russian Jews, Catholics and Luther-
ans -holde services in different rooms of
the settlement house each Sunday after-
noon; and even the very hot antagonism
between the Fascists and the anti-Fascists
is being cooled off by the. skillful di-
plomacy of workers at Kingsley House.
This idea of settlement houses was
first» conceived in London, where a few
philanthropists began .to realize that if
they were ever to get to the bottom of
the difficulties of certain classes. they
must live with them and learn to know
them. Since that. day the settlement
movement has: become widespread, and
much good has been accomplished. Play-
grounds grew-out of settlement. back-
yards; public libraries from settlement
bookshelves; and the Manual Training
tumcscrbie oe
Department in’ high schools. from the
course in that® subject which was always
given in settlements. ~
In’ concluding Miss Harris " quialified
the type of worker, necessary to the live
existence’ of a-settlement. “All that we
need in the settlements,” she said, “is
people with a love for peoplepand% love
analysis!”
Small Effort Well Repaid
~ by Visit to Blind School
“Blind School” means _to most people
a thing they are asked to go to at 6.30
o'clock in the evening by a hectic substi-
tute-seeking damsel.’ Few Jearn anything
more about it, because very few do go.
But once persuaded you find the outlay
small and the returns: rather large. All
you need is 20 cents for bus fare, the
energy to walk a couple of blocks and
the ability to read. - If you lack the 20
cents, borrow it from a friend, ‘the ex-
ercise -will do you good, dnd you prob-
ably would not be in Bryn Mawr if you
could not read.
Once you get there, after the perils
of the bus, you see an enormous, incred-
ibly Moorish building, the Pennsylvania
Home for the Instruction of ‘the Blind.
Inside you meet the boy to whom you are
going to read. He is an undergraduate
at Pennsylvania or Temple,-or a gradu-
ate student in French or medicine.’ With
4him you walk dowm a long corridor,
passing rooms full of boys studying,
Braille books in the dark. The reading
‘rooms are upstairs. There you read to
him his preparation for the next day’s
classes. The boys study such things as
History, Politics, Insurance, Sociology,
| Criminology, Ocean Transportation and
the ever-present English Literature, so
that in reading, you assist or supplement
your own college’courses, The work is
interesting, but no more so than the boys.
They like to talk to you, to ask you
questions about Bryn Mawr, and, when|'
for work, intelligggee and a decent self-"
orm
ce
they know. you, ‘to tell you about them-
selves in true masculine fashion, One of
the pleasantest, ‘and at” the same time
most touching things about them is their
complete lack of self-consciousness about
their blindness. One of them, a boy
with both eyes gone, will stumble over
“What's the mattér with your glasses to-
night?”
Various bells ring” during, the evening,
and at 8.30 o’clock small blind boys rush
in and out with enormous Braille books.
An hour later you leave. The Boys al-
ways escort you fo the bus, which starts
about two blocks from the school. The
whole procedure is simple and requires
but a small degree “of intelligence and
some sympathy, with a fellow-student’s
desire for education.

Why we are
advertis ing: to
College Women rs
For some years we have
been advertising to College
Men. Our “selling appeal’’
has been based on the fact
that a telephonechat with
Mother and Dad, once
. every week, is a sort of
cure-all for those away-
from-home ills. And a
mighty good appeal it is,’
too. ¥, @. w wv
-Due, no doubt, to a lack of
knowledge of Feminine ©
Psychology, our first year
in college went by with-
young women the idea of
a weekly chat with the
folks athome. ¥ ¥ #¥
Then one day a charming
young lady, the business
manager of her Collece
paper, paid usa visit.“° You
are quite right,”said-she,
“when yousay that young '
men away from home are =
less thoughtful and. less
likely to keep in touch
with their parents with-
out urging than College
‘Women,”’— ¥ 2? #¥
“But”... and then she
‘told us g few things about
the psychology of College
Women which we had,
we must confess, never
known before. ¥.¥ ¥
So... that is why we are
heré; and that is why we
say to you—** Number,

LORD DUNSANY SPEAKS
» CONTINUED BROM PAGE 1>
Even historical dramatists
sometimes. make-use of evénts which are
imaginary, but which fall in accordance.
with eternal laws. This is the test .of
any drama—mot that it conforms to cer-
tain arpitrary rules of technique, but that
it seems to have been fashioned of.a
little piece of the same. material which
Fate uses in the shaping of destinies.
» Fiction Preferable to Facte _-
Therefore. fiction, Lord Dunsany said,
seems to him preferable even to fact, if
it is. used toward truth. If orf® takes
a character out of actual life, a personal }-
friend perhajs;~that character. juts out
“of the story like a rock from a Wall of
. dreams.
If some part of a work is im-
aginary, it must all be so, ‘The artist
has more to show*than what actually
happens, since he points out the paths
that. lie ahead -of all- of us. We. cannot
see the importance of each individual
occurrence in our lives. We cannot
trouble ourselves with trifles, but Fate
can, and does. It is useless to try to
beat her at the game, as did John: Beal
in Jf when he chose to live over again
a little incident which he thought could
_ not possibly affect the course of his life;
and yet, as it turned out, this was just
what it did,
Lord Dunsany. devoted the rest of the
lecture to showing the pebbles them-
selves, verses, plays and a story, some
, others not yet printed. It
is pleasant at‘ times, he said, to stand
back from life and laugh at it; and
most of what he read was in this spirit
of levity, though not all. He read part
of Act I, scene 3, from Jf, the conver-
sation ‘between John and Daoud, which
so delightfully contrasts the attitude of
the Englishman and the Oriental. After
this Lord Dunsany quoted some unpub-
lished verses from memory; somé were
written on a trip to Africa, where the
Trish author found ready-made in the
“crumbled rose-leaf mountains” such
colors as he liked*to imagine.’ The con-
cluding line of “Evening in Africa” ex-
presses Lord: Dunsany’s feeling of the
responsibility of the artist to the world:
“What was not-given. for me alone
Shall shine henceforth for many -men.”
Quotes Own Poems
Another poem commemorated’ Lord
Dunsany’s last visit_to the United: States
when he _ stayed New
within sight of Monadnock, ° the great
mountain said to have been
worshipped _as.a god by the Indians. The
poem was perhaps the loveliest which
the author cited, but is too long to quote.
Another, almost as beautiful, is not so
long, but—.we print it in’ trepidation, as
Lord Dunsany announced that he -had
little faith in printers+andjournalists,
since some printer’s devil mutilated “The
Dirge of Victory.”, which he wrote pn
Armistice Day. The punctuation is not
authoritative :
in
which is
“T saw a pear tree on a garden wall,
Stretching its arms quite fifteen feet
each way.
There was no garden there or house at
heute! 2
Flower ‘and field and farm-had-passed
f away.
’ Many memorials may the Kaiser boast,
But this may stand for Iai as well as
most.”
New Play, “The Raffle”
After this poem Lord Dunsany_illus-
trated the spirit of levity which he had
promised by a new, soon to be published
play, The Raffle.. This one-act sketch
takes place_in the drawing room of a
country housé,. while a garden party and
chirch bazaar rafind .outside, . Sir
James, a true businessman, is in despair
at having been persuaded by the/Bishop
to donate a 2500-pound bond,-~vhich is
to be raffled off that afternoon. To re-
coup his losses he arranges with the devil
(who ‘is not named, but is represented
is
-by..a_ Dark Stranger, a collector of souls,
who happens to call) to sell him the
soul of Biffins, the curate. for . 2500
pounds. Sir James secures his profit by
persuading Biffins to abandon all rights
on his own soul fora mere 1250. This
calls: forth a protest from the - Bishop,
who, however, turns out to be.also:a
businessman and a man ‘of the world and
refuses to buy back the soul of Biffins
for as much as Sir James asks. “One
can't,” says the Bishop, “let sentiment
enter inte business; and, strictly between
ourselves, is the soul of Biffins. worth
3000 pounds?” At this juncture Biffins
‘rushes in, in triumph.. “I’ve won,” says
he. The bond? No, the deed of trans-
fer for his soul which was accidentally
substituted for the bond-in-the raffle:

‘Where Their Money Goes
The dimes and quarters spent in the
village and in Holyoke for candy, tea,
movies, stationery, marcel waves, car-
fare, and the other incidental purchases
of Mount Holyoke College undergrad-
uates mount to a grand total of over
$200,000 in a single year—or about $6000
a week—according to a study just com-
pleted by the class in statistics in the De-
partment of Economics and Sociology.
This total is the more surprising because
records of these incidental expenditures,
a
kept by 345 ‘students for the week from
October 18 to 24, did-fot include large
jtems such as tuition, clothing, required
books or laboratory fees. The typical
expenditure was from $2 to $3 a week,
but the average was much higher ($5.98)
because of large week-end expenses of'a
few girls. *
Most important’ of all expenditures,
nearly one-fourth of the total, went to
erhance personal appearance—drugs and
cosmetics, marcel waves and shampoos,
shoe shines, laundry cleaning—and acces-
sories. Food was: the next and most
popular class of purchases. Nine-tenths.
of the college indulged in food between
meals -or in “dining out ;” and about one-
fifth of the total sum wenc in this way.
Girls in training spent less than half as
much for -food between meals as_ their
less athletic friends; and the Sophomores;
according to. the report, dine out less
often than members of the-other classes.

that there was ‘no college performance in

tures.

A recent issue of «the Daily Kansan

“three students cheat for every student.
that refuses to cheat.” It bases this state-
ment on a student questionnaire, the re-
sults of which have just been published.
According to the report 307 give or re-
ceive help occasionally, 117 do not; four
cheat regularly while 113 assert that it is
never ‘justified’; 204 cheat because “every-
body else is doing it;” more than 100
think cheating permissible “when ques-
tions are catch questions and when the
professor plays the part of a. watch-
