DISCUSS BYZANTINE

Sorbonne’ Professor

. Held Decadent.

SYMBOLIC ART





WAS



Byzantine painting was the subject

on which M. Gabriel’ Millet, of the

% ecole des hautes etudes of the Sor-

bonne, gave an illustrated lecture in

French under the auspices of the His-
tory of Art Department.

“The fourteenth century is one of
the least known and richest periods of
this art,” he began. This was the
moment when the Occident and the
Orient influenced each other.

Until a few years ago it was thought
that -Byzantine art was . immobile,
never changing, that it reached its
height in the thirteenth century, and
that the fourteenth century -was a
period of decadence. But M. Millet
had seen paintings of the fourteenth
century in Mistra, which showed living
‘architecture and elegant figures. In
1906 he visited old Serbian Scopie,
where he saw great churches, known
' to have been built by the Emperor
Milutine, who for a few years in the
fourteenth century reigned . over a
large empire. :

Presents Great Problem.

Byzantine art presents a great prob-
lem. It was the first Christian art
modeling itself on ancient art, and
always symbolic, as can be seen in the

- Catacombs, where one finds abstract
representatigns of scenes from the Old
Testament, ideal, abstract, conven-
tional, °
longer a secret organization, but the
ruling power, the great savants who
knew antique art realized that paint-
ing is a language, and -consequently
they used it to convéy Christian teach-
‘ings to the people.

¢



We. have manuscripts of this time,
particularly the Vienna Genesis, which
show the method of these later artists.
They were not content to portray the
stories of the Old Testament as they
were related, but added to them, mak-
ing pictures notable for emotion, action
and imagination, together with. con-
siderable realism.

“DR. FITCH TALKS ON
, MODERN CODES

Conflicting Loyalties Are Cause of
Trouble.

“The problem of goodness” was the
subject that the Rev Albert Parker Fitch
discussed in Chapel on Sunday, Decem-
ber 5. If we-can achieve goodness, he
said, we will get enduring satisfaction; all
of us, young and old, we really want to be
good, although some of us hide it. ~

In the end of Lockhart’s Life of Scott,
he tells how the “gentlemen survived the
- genuis” at the end; Scott’s last words to
his son-in-law, were “Be a good man,
nothing else will help us at the end.” Of
course other things do help; the creation
of something beautiful or great, any
worthy achievement of one’s life; but
there is no great beauty without’ ethical
restraint behind it. The Venus de Milo,
the Cimabue Madonna in the Louvre,
must have learnt the lesson of selfless-
ness. : a
Loose Use of Terms, is Trouble.
Although we all inwordly admire good-
ness, it is something we find very diffi-
- cult to achieve. The chief difficulty is
the loose thinking about’ those two im-
4 portant terms, “character,” and “dissi-
pation.” We no longer use our language
as gentlemen; we tinge it with sentimen-
tality and the grotesque. In the correct
sense, a person who has character is one
who lives by a. definite code, who has a
of life. We use it for people

By drop quizzes mean those
courses in which the class can derive
full profit from the lectures or discus-
sion only by a fairly regular prepara-

sume that the assignments are under-

dates, and that in no quiz will the
students be held responsible for work
not yet due. While we recognize see
drop quizzes may cover the entire
course to date, we prefer to confine our
discussion to the type which includes
only the material treated in lectures,
discussion, or outside reading since the
last quiz.

Barometer and Incentive.
Perhaps the most obvious argument
tn favor of the drop quiz system is that
it enables the professor to see how
regularly the students are doing the
work, and how well they have under-
stood what they have learned. It. is
perfectly just for the instruetor to
expect his students to be able to take
a quiz which will show them how far
and how well they have progressed,
and, at the same time, will point out to
him the extent to which his assign-
ments have been understood, followed
out and performed. No one who has
studied a lesson ought to object, to

BI-MONTHLY MEETINGS













At a meeting of the Self-government
Association, M. i
Jones that
only two mass meetings a month would
be necessary to remake the rules instead

of the two a week announced last time.

The first important discussion of the
evening centered upon the method by
which the reform is to be accomplished.
Two plans were put forward;- one, to
have the Board act as a committee on
proceedure and to submit subjects to the}
general meeting for discussion. If the
meeting was at once agreed, a motion
would be passed. If the discussion seemed
to be getting involved, the question was
to be referred to a committee clected for
the purpose,

The second plan, was to have a central
committee prepare a whole plan in ad-
vance and present it a large meeting for
distussion and posible adoption.

It was claimed that interest would lag
and the meetings become no more repre-
sentative than a central committee if the
first method were adopted. Opponents
of this ‘plan stated that discussion must
come before framing of resolutions or
the committee would not be informed of

the Board, would defeat its own purpose :
“We want the college to feel it has made

the rules, not that they have been handed
down ‘to it.” ‘

F. DeLaguna ’27, suggested that the
Board. in the first plan, would be just
such a committee, presenting the subjects
for discussion. D. Meeker, ’27, stated,
“The central committee would be efficient,
but people as a whole would be thinking
less. The first plan woult be less efficient
but more effective.”

Aftea/a good deal of very heated argu-
ment, the first plan w@s accepted.

cember 5, af a reception. given by

former president M. Carey’ Thomas to

which is taking place this week.

Miss Thomas, the originator and
constant patron of the school, was her-
self the first speaker, and was intro-
duced, ‘by N. Chester, ’27, who, as
chairman of the: Undergraduate Sum-
mef School Committee, acted as
master of ceremonies. Miss Thomas
spoke as follows:

'
Summer School Part of Flood Tide.

“The summer school has_ recently
completed its fifth year. ‘Its continued
success is but one of the ‘indications
that it is part of a rising tide in human
affairs which has become manifest in
the years since the war—the movement
for the education of adult workers,”

When’ Miss Thomas ‘was abroad in
1919-20 this educational movement _was
already beginning in © England ‘and
Scotland; even in Syria and -Egypt, in
Japan and Palestine the women ex-
pressed a desire for free undenomina-
tional education. But along with this
widespread want one felt at that time
the difficulty of its fulfillment. After
the war many women were obliged to
feo to work under conditions which
seemed to preclude the possibility of
their having either time or strength for
study. Z
Idea Born in Sahara.

It was in the same year that Miss
Thomas, filled with a sense of thése
difficulties, first. conceived the idea of
the summer school while crossing a
corner of the Sahara desert with a
camel caravan. The afterglow of the
sunset: which suddenly illumined the

desert seemed a symbol of the way in |

which the right kind of education can
fill with light the dark places in the
minds of individuals and in the general
social consciousness; and it occurred
to Miss Thomas that it was the duty

PLAYERS PRESENT TWO
FRENCH PIECES

M. Villard’s Translations Achieve
Great Success.

The players are still majoring in
French. Gringoire of Theodore de Ban-
ville and Heaven and Hell, by Prosper
Merimee, opened the season in Wyndham
music room last Saturday afternoon, thus
following the groduction last spring of
Merimee’s Etruscan Vase. Evidently the
players have thrown off the eighteenth
century and the Grand Manner, inculcat-
ed by their leaders of 1925, the era of
Varsity Dramatics’ School for Scandal,
with The Rehearsal of Vittiers and last
fall Farewell the Kersey Coat. The per-
formances of Saturday, especially in the
fine, charming translations of Mariquita
Villard, ’27, quite justified the change of
course. .

Beginning three seasons ago, with the
bay-window of Wyndham, one little spot-
light, and several yards of factory cloth,
for equipment, and the production . of
interesting plays, especially plays by
undergraduates, as their policy (for they
were conventional enough. to have. a
policy), the players have quietly gone on,
acting staging and directing for small, in-
vited audiences and a larger public. They
have perfectly demonstrated the ad-
vantages of unorganization and deorgani-
zation. Today, only three of the original
group remain, but their theatre flourishes.

Of the setting, the roast goose of Grin-
| goire’s banquet was the marvelous detail.

WEEK-ENDS A LA MODE

“The old order changeth, yielding
place to new.”’ How correct, in their
less original moments, even poets
can be! And the familiar old line
never held truer than as regards the
changing fashion in week-ends. Last
year, to get away from college; to
be seen outside of classes, as- seldom
as possible; to avoid, particularly,
the awful solemnity of Sunday din-
ner, were the outstanding ideas of
the ambitious young college girl. If

“you were not asked to a Prom or

football game, some distant relative
or old friend» of your mother’s
would be raked up; you were will-
ing to accept any invitation from
friend or foe—just so long as. it
took you away from the “venerable
walls, for some part of the time
between one-thirty on Friday and
eight-thirty Sunday evening. If you
aspired at all to fhe heights of fash-
ionable conventionality, you took
care to have some escape always
planned ; but occasionally, by some
unavoidable slip, like a death in the
family you intended to visit, or a
shortage of funds on your part, you
found yourself stranded in college.
Then, sad indeed was your plight,
for unbelieveable loneliness was
visited upon you. ‘The hall corri-
dors re-echoed hollowly to your
footsteps ; the library chairs held out
sad, empty arms; except for the
centipedes, you were alone—and oh,

_ how alone! .

But this year, we hear that while
eek-ends are still popular. with the
ninitidted, it is becoming a little

more “the thing,” a trifle more re-

_cherche among the extreme leaders

in fashion, the creme de la creme,

. those exclusive few who are always

a little ahead of Paris, to take quiet
week-ends of rest at college. Such
an original, quaint idea! And how
restful! It gives one time to think!
And it makes a pleasant change
from the continual rushing in vogue
last year. While we might seem far
too radical to. suggest that such a
custom ever become universal there
is always that possibility and we
should not be surprised if, in visiting
college in 1940 (to take our German
oral), we should find the students
returning on Saturday to rest after
their midweék activities.

THE BABBITS OF BANBURY

Some weeks ago’ the New York
Times published an article on Ban-
bury Cross which is of interest,
surely, to all the imaginative Eng-
lish-speaking world.

There are’ few people in America
who have had the good fortune to



actually see Banbury Cross, but who

has not, as a child, ridden there in
dreams? One must feel sorry for
the. child who has..missed the joy

-of being carried around the nur-

sery on some doting relation’sback

-America has alfays been accused
of,"destroying beauty for the sake
of progress, but’ even in America
we have our village squares With far
less picturesque or historical statues
standing, unmolested, in their cen:
ters. Can it be that the citizens of
Banbury are striving to emulate one
of our greatest faults under the de-
lusion that it is a-virtue? If so, we
should hasten to rise up and ‘join

|England in its protest against such

foolishness.
The writer*to the Times has

_|drawn a very touching picture of
distress which: would — occurs

the
among the nursery rhyme folk ; the
beautiful lady of Banbury Cross
riding to her execution, followed by
a train of weeping ¢ompanions,
Mother Goose, Little Boy Blue, The
Dog, The Cat, and The Fiddle, Old
King Cole, The Mouse that ran up
the clock, and a host of others.
Fancy the distress in nurseries all
ove the world when the news got
out that Banbury Cross was no
more. :

But more than this would hap-
pen, something which the Times
failed to mention. America has al-
ways looked to England as the pre-
server of traditions; we are as yet
too young a nation to have many.
And so London Bridge, The Tower,
Big Ben, and Banbury. Cross are
as much American traditions as they
are English. Before the citizens of
Banbury tear down their one claim
to fame, let them consider that they
will be condemned not only by their
own people, but by all the English-
speaking world as well.

“HONORS”

A system of honors courses re-
sembling that of English universities
is receiving consideration from an
increasingly large number of col-
leges. In some places it is already
in force, in others, it is proposed for
next year. For example, the student
curriculum committees at Mt. Holy-
‘oke and at Haverford, the Barnard
Bulletin informs us, are “urging a
better opportunity for taking honors,
and that certain academic privileges
be accorded high-grade work.”
Barnard itself is experimenting with
honors.

Northwestern University is offer-
ing a modified-form of honors. In-
dependent study in their major sub-
ject i8 to be fostered in certain stu-
dents who have shown sufficient
qualifications. These students are
to be exempt from regulation class
attendance and from regular exami-
nations. ‘They will be given a com-
prehensive examination at the end
of the senior year.

At Smith, the Swarthmore Phoe-
nix tells us the system works in this
wise: “At the end of her sophomore
year, a student having a general
average of B, or exceptional grades
in a particular department, may read
for honors. If approved she begins
reading intensively under special in-
structors. Examinations are given
over the entire period of two years
work, and a thesis is exacted. Those
honoring in French, spend a year
abroad studying.” ane

Douglass Orr, ex-'27, from the
University of Nebraska, describes



the honors courses at Swarthmore :]

“About 50 juniors ‘and seniors read
for honors, being admitted at the be-
ginning of the junior year with a B
averdge. ‘The work is done in a
minor, a two hour seminar every
two weeks, a major, a two-hour
seminar every week, and a special
topic, also with a two-hour seminar
every two weeks. The freedom
from classes and lectures, while it
means much more time for reading
widely, and’ thoroughly, does not
mean a lack of guidance and super-
vision; we are responsible to a board
of examiners from other colleges
who will question us at the end of
two years. Honors work offers a

chance for picking out an interesting

and so in the position to get a good
job. ‘They are trying to get away

back to.scholarliness. Sorhe of the
“institutions of higher learning re-
|fuse to be longer glorified high
schools.” d

’ The junior colleges,. rapidly
growing in number, will supply the
demand . for general culture, and
their graduates will not be honored
with an A. B. An A. B. ought to
mean much more than it frequently
does’; ‘it ought not to stand for so

tures. atteaded, so many quizzes:

ship of an individual natur¢.

. THE CHANGING SEASON

. The first fall of snow 1s an event
that should not be allowed to pass
unnoticed in an otherwisé quiet
week. On Friday, December 3, at
four o’clock the first flakes stole
timidly down from a winter sky. At
about the same time the jury for the
Hall-Mills case at last brought in
a verdict of not guilty. A thought-
ful mind might see a connection be-
tween the two.

A year ago, at any rate, the first
blizzard blew on Hallowe’en and the
witch’s traditional broom was chang-
ed for a snow shovel. But this fall
all the usual occasions for snow
were passed up. Football Satur-
days came and went, a new genera-
tion of turkeys fattened and fell,
even the Queen of Rumania sailed
for home, and still the seasons held
their hand. But when at length the
heat of argument in the New Jersey
‘court house cooled into ashes the
gods relented. With the snow for
a_winding-sheet the dead past was
allowed to bury its dead, and Willie
and the pig woman and the rest of
them passed into obscurity. -

The last event of the autumn is
therefore-over, and winter has real-
ly come. Time to count your change
and your little nephews and get
ready for an expedition to Wana-,
maker’s toy department. Midyears
will be along in a few weeks, but
thank heaven, Christmas —- comes
first ! :





ADVERTISE!

The opening song of one of
Broadway’s biggest hits of the sea-
son is entitled “It Pays to Adver-
tise” —a slogan which a great many
peoplemight— profitably adopt. In
the song mentioned, the advertising
is confined to purely material things
such ‘as garters and the gifts God
gave you. But consider how it
might be applied in a much broader

sepise.
@iever since man first conceived of
the idea, people the world over have
acknowledged the benefits of adver-
tising; their only fault has been
limiting it. And yet the first adver-
tising that was ever done was not
concerned primarily with material
things; when the serpent boomed
the apple in the Garden of Eden, he
did not stress its health qualities ;
Eve and Adam were not interested
in keeping the doctor away. But
they were interested in acquiring
knowledge, as soon as the serpent
had informed them of their lack
of it. And herein lies the secret of
all good advertising ; to make people
aware’ of- what they haven’t and to
make them wish they had it.
Examples of what advertising can
do to one are innumerable ; you have
only to read the magazines to realize
the apalling number of lives that
would be ruined without Pepsodent
or saxophones or Listerine. Now
imagine the effects it might produce
if applied to some of the things
which at present it overlooks; for
example, education. This is to
some extent advertised, but in noth-
ing like the way it might be. —_-
College courses, especially, offer a
tncdbdattsh field for publicity. There
are any number of systems which
might be followed, but perhaps the
simplest would be for professors to
print posters which could be placed
in conspicuous places around the
campus. Think how attendance
would be increased in the various

Education;* of course, is not the
only thing which might profit by ad-

talk about supression and inferior-

great help. to hostesses, when plan-
ning a party, to be able to step out-
side the door and consult such pos-
ters as these: “Try Cissy Centipede’s
Table Talk,” or “M. Smith, Dancer

These are only a few. suggestions.
But. with the infinite possibilities
now open to advertisers it is posi-
tively. heart breaking to listen to
those unenlightened souls . who

forever." Why! who knows? Sign
‘boards may prove to be the. salva-

we have studied its possibilities from
all angles.

it would grieve *me bitterly to find that
you, too, feel that the regulations are
too stringent. I ‘consider
regulation, compulsion of this sort, to be
the most important part of college life;
but why, why is ft confined only to the
Department of Athletics? Don’t you
think that in every way the students
would benefit by a little more super- .-

vision?: Take the question of health—
having all lights turned out at the power-
house, promptly at 10:30 every night,
would induce the girls to sleep more, and
what could be more Advantageous than
sleep? Daily tooth-brush inspection
would surely encourage correct habit
formation. You will certainly agree in
this, after your noble campaign against
the deplorable bath situation among -the
freshmen: I should recommend at least
three required baths a week for all under-
graduates, upperclassmen included. At-
tendance \at meals might be advisable,
and perhaps also a limitation of the
amount—of—food-each- student-may—pur-
chase between meals. If*I had my way
I should introduce a systém of required

valuable result. :

“* out minds, it may be a propitious time.

to givé Sne opinion of the affair.

The last, meeting was a sad contrast
In ‘the first one discussion
was vigorous, feeling high, and opin-
ion. unanimous. on .the purpose to be
achieved. We decided as one man to
remake the rules. So far so good.
Then comes the remaking—and at
once we are torn by ways alld means,
,and submerged beneath technicalities.
-The: impression, in ‘retrospect, is one
of-utter chaos. But ‘out of at came the
all-important decision on ‘methods to
be used hereafter, and the election of
an excellent committee with instruc-
tions on how, to deal with our old
friend Resolution V. For one eve-
ming’s ework that wasn’t so. bad.

Of course the method is a clumsy.
one. . Those of us who still believe in

shod@+ But we still believe that it is
worth the trouble; and it is hardly fair
to judge by one night’s performance.
We are trying out this technique for.
the first time. ‘Meanwhile we would
suggest two ways by which the pro-
ceedings of the next meeting could be
very much simplified.

First, have your motions cledrly in
mind before you come. That shouldn’t
be so hard when the business is posted
a week beforehand. At the last meet-
ing only one person, F. de.; Laguna,
had her motion definitely. worded. But
as we were then dealing with our most,
difficult problem, the only abstract one
in the book, it was inevitable that there
should be conflict of ideas. The busi-
ness before -the next meeting is much
simpler. — For instance, there is te
question of quiet hours. Do you want
any quiet hours at all? If so, where?
Do you approve of fines for punish-
ment of violations, and, if not, what
penalty would you substitute? Talk
it over with your friends beforehand
and come to the meeting with your
motion already planned. Then the
discussion will have something defi-
nitely to go on and a cenclusion may
be. reached which will satisfy the ma-
jority without having to refer the
matter to a committee.

Which brings us to gur second point.
If the question is referred to a com-
mittee, why not stop there? The last
time we passed elaborate senses of the
meeting to be sure that the committee
would know what we thought.
the committee will probably know that
anyway, i are careful to elect
people who*have been present. Be-
sides, the resolutions need not be ac-
cepted, if we don't like them.

Finally, if the present method does
prove unworkable, we can always re-
consider our‘ decision, and have a
central committee after all. The new
method is merely an. inductive experi-
ment, and we. don’t know what we
shall find at the end of it. However,
we have pledged ourselves to try it,
and it is up to us to prove that we
stand behind our word. Those of us
who believe in democracy and self-
government must back up our belief
by constructive interest. It may be
that in the end we shall have to dis-
card this plan, but let’s give it a fair
trial first! ae

To the Editors of the Cornecs News:

I wish to. congratulate the self-gov-
ernment board on their plunge into
democracy. What we need is a set of
regulations which will be uplfeld by
the student body and surely if any
rules will be respected they are those
for which the majority has seen the
necessity “and which we ‘all have had
a share in making.

Many seem to have been unduly dis-
heartened by the meeting last Tues-
day. It was inevitable that discussion

GIBBS ENDORSES YOUTH |
Young Anarchy, -by Sir Philip Gibbs.

liver: since ‘the end of the war Sir
Philip Gibbs has been writing book after
book about the mess in Europe brought
on by his generation, and appealing in
very moving passages to the youth of
the world .to realize its responsibilities
and fulfill its obligations. Increasingly
he has doubted youth’s willingness to be
serious.

Now, in Young Anarchy, he decides
that youth ss all right. The great test
was put to English youth in the general
strike, and they were equal to it, throwing
themselves into the breach with all the
devotion and eagerness with which their
elder brothers went off to war, 12 years
before. They abandoned their pretense
of indiffereyge, their preoccupation with
amusement, and did the work that had
to be done with intense enjoyment, with
enthusiasm. Young élegants heaved coal,
drove busses, ran trains; girls did heavy
work in canteens from morning to night.

It is splendid comfort for Sir Philip
that he believes that youth has proven
itself ready to assume its burden and
make over the world. But the general
strike seems a slight test on which to
base so much confidence. After all, every
one knew -that it could not last long; it
was a new amusement fof the gay young
people, ‘only another tredsure hunt. One
Pubts’ whether many.of them went into
it primarily to serve their country, con-
sciously aligning themselves with law and
order, in opposition to Labor, temporarily
and disastrously led astray by Commu-
nist influence. And Sir Philip’s new-
found optimism takes no count of the
situation England has yet to face, and
the class conflict which prevents her from
united effort at reconstruction.
Unquestionably, however, the general
strike did constitute a turning point in
the lives of the characters in Young
Anarchy. They lost doubt and fear and
self-consciousness in the joy of serving
England. They found the happiness
which they had been seeking and for
want of which they had fallen into so
many extravagances.

It is an enormously interesting picture
of England that one finds in Young
Anarchy. ‘The scene is crowded with
amiliar types, amusingly and cleverly
characterized. There is the stern Bishop,
type of English reaction, utterly wrong
and illiberal in all his convictions, yet
admirable for clearness of mind, tenacity
and courage; his sister, a middle-aged
Englishwoman who goes on taking care
of soldiers after the war, concentrating

tween them, e America is*the only country.
with a race problem simply because other
| nations make a distinction, not of color,
but of breeding and culture.

In Nigger Heaven Mr. Van ‘Vechten
deals with the Negro problem, particu-
larly in New York. His characters are
drawn from Harlem, almost entirely
from the intellectual or rich classes.. His
aim, apparently, is to present a true and
vivid impression -of a group of people
about whom practically nothing is known.
He shows. the almost unsurmountable
obstaclés which are placed in the path
of the Negroes in this country, and the
courage and philosophy with which they
strive to overcome them.



His, main characters—Mary Love, an
exccedingly well-educated, intelligent, ‘but
underpaid young librarian; Byron Kas-
son, a weak-willed, imaginative, young
Wwould-be-author, and Lasca, a rich, beau-
tiful, but highly sensuous demi-mondaine
—are brilliantly drawn and endowed with
a vital, living force. The minor charac-
ters, likewise, are real and forcible. The
Scarlet Creeper, a particularly unpleasant
person, moves across the beginning and
the end of the story with cat-like, sinister
grace. Mary’s father, the kindly, lovable
old minister, also has a brief but effective
appearance. But perhaps the most amaz-
ing character in the book is Byron’s
father, who never appears on the scene
in person, but from a letter which he
writes to his son one gets a glimpse of
a strong, understanding and just man.

There is no fault to be found with Mr.
Van ,Vecfiten’s portrayal of the charac-
ters which he has chosen, and this only
makes it all the more annoying that he
should place them in such a slovenly and
weakly-handled plot. The prelude to the
book, which serves to introduce the Scar-
let Creeper and also to give the back-
ground for the following chapters, cannot
but revolt the fastidious reader, It has,
however, very little bearing on the rest
of the book, which is an account of the
lives of Mary and Byyon, their love for
each other, Byron’s Subsequerit fascina-
tion for Lasca and, finally, his attempt
to return to Mary after Lasca has thrown
him over. i

Although one feels some pity for
Byron in, the end, when his despair and
bitterness, already almost unbearable, are
augmented by his fear of arrest for a
murder which he did not commit, never-
theless the chief. impression which he
leaves is that of a rather stupid: and
maudlin weakling. Nearly all one’s sym-
pathy is reserved for Mary, ‘who loves

PESSIMISM TRIUMPHS

The Sun Also Rises, by Ernest Hem-

The source of the title of this book,
the “vanity of vanities” passage in Ecclesi-
astes, is the highest poetical expression
of the disheartening conclusion to which
Hemingway’s story leads. The Biblical
passage is quoted by way of preface or
a summary of the work in order to prove
the similar timelessness of the thought in
both and to show the extreme divergence
of its interpretation in two utterly dif-
ferent ages.

The Sun Also Rises is a tale of de-
graded characters leading a vagabond life,
who magnify its futility by their perverse
views and increase the causes of their

however, she is placed in a more.appro-
priate setting of hoop skitts and Revolu-
tionary romance.

The girl’s chorus is mainly decorative
but very successfully so. The male chorus
however, is highly effective. In Act II,
scene 2, they render a selection of negro
spirituals which are. worthy of very high
praise. ;
Lee Beggs as P. T. Barnum portrays
the usual musical comedy version of a
historical character. It is sincerely to
be hoped that his long tirade against
Major General Gurnee, of the too-flexible
neck and suffocated voice will be gener-
ously cut, if only for the peace of F.T;
Barnum’s shade. a
Ah, what an oversight! The hero has
been forgotten, but except for his ad-
mirable singing, he affected us that way.
Alexander Gray as Capt. Rex Gurnee, is
a grand Arrow Collar ad. Why Alice
did not thank her lucky stars that he was
fascinated with Jenny and favor Capt.
Joe Archer (Robert Hobbs) we will never
understand.

Four pictures in this exhibition
really captured our fancy. “The Pil-
grim,” by Gertfude Fiske, done mainly
in soft dull grays and browns with
pale’ yellow lights, presents in concrete
form the vague generalities embraced
by the term “Patriarch.” There is
something akin to the Old Testament
in the expression of the eye and
weather-beaten face of this vieillard.

the hopelessly sentimental level of the

pursuit of pleasure, which becomes more
and more dangerous as it is the more

excitement of aj low order; in fact, their
chief aim seems to consist in dashing

they accomplish nothing more all day,

JACQUES COPEAU

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

’





- He then installed himself iti aa tiny
room, devoid of furnishings, in a small
theatre on the yeft Bank. After sus-
taining the first great wave of criticism,
Le Vieux Colombier gained wide popu-
lar favor and was forced to seek larger
quarters when-it reopened after the - War.
The season’ 1923-24 was the high mark of
its popularity. “

Its greatest ‘contribution, however, rests
in the realm of decor and mise¢ en ‘scene,
rather than in the drama. M. Copeau’s
theory is that scenery ought to be sug-
gestive and evocative rather thag literal.
Like all art, the mise en scene ought to
appeal to the imagination. But above all
it must be subordinated ‘to the acting and
serve the dramatist.

In the field of interpretation, too, Le
Vieux Colombier has made an important
contribution, M. Copeau, according to
classic tradition, requires of his actors
.versatility. His productions therefore had
fa flexibility and finish rarely achieved
nowadays. i :
The tragedy in the history of Le Vieux
Colombier is that is has furnished no
real work of art to the drama. Whether
this is due to lack of encouragement to
young dramatists on the part of M. Co-
peau or to the present dearth of material
is’ hard to say.

For reasons still unknown, LeVieux
Colombier was closed the Spring of
1924. Throughout its existence, M. Co-
peau. assumed the entire burden of his
productions ; he superintended all the re-
hearsals; taught the pupils; superintend-
ed the costuming’ and lighting ; played the
important roles; ‘and managed the fi-
nances. It is not strange that he has
spent most of his time since then in
Bourgogne, only occasionally giving a
presentation of Moliere.

Moliere is the great specialty, if one
may use such a term, of M. Copeau,
especially Le Misantrope, that great tragi-
comedy which M. Boissard in La Nouv-
elle Revue Francaise considers a true pic-
ture .of Moliere’s own circumstances and
-even goes as far as identifying each
character-with—a—contemporary_of the
great dramatist. Alceste is really Moliere
himself and Celimene is Moliere’s_.wife,
Armande Rejart.

In 1922, the 300th anniversary of Moli-
ere, M. Copeau presented Le M isanthrope
at Le Vieux Colombier and played the
role of Alcest himself. M. Copeau’s
reading of the play next Friday evening
will therefore be very significant. —_,

_|dent body is_ necessary.

Besides being: the. dynamic force of Le
Vieux Colombier, M.*Copeau has organ-
ized a school of acting in connection with
his theatre. He also gras written several
plays and critical works and is the found-
er of La Nouvelle Revue Francaise.

NEWS FROM OTHER COLLEGES

If the college. is to sucteed in its
task, maturity on the part of the stu-

Oo.

‘No «student
should be” admitted who has -not
reached the age of 18 or will not
reach it in the first semester of her,
freshman year. Even the mature stu-
dent of the *present day is woefully
lacking in cultural background which
it becomes one of the college’s many
tasks to supply. To make the accom-
plishment of this task’ easier great care
must be exercised that only the better
qualified students are admitted to- col-
lege.
‘Once the
member of the college community it
is essential ‘that all possible stimuli
be applied to further her intellectual

individual , becomes a

growth. At present there is too much
handing of material over the counter

on the part of professors, with the
expectation that the student will
memorize it and return it unaltered
at call. Such a situation manifestly -
does not properly ‘stress independent
or original thought; rather it encour-
ages the student in mental. laziness
and fosters the desire to do merely
enough routine work to “get by.”
Perhaps this situation is in part due
to the composition of the faculty. At
one. of its extremes’is the pedant (not
the scholar). At the other is the
young instructor often just out of col-
lege, but feeling that he has attained
the fulfillment of knowledge. The at-
titude of the former toward the stu-
dent is that of condescending paternal-_
ism; that of the latter is one marked.
by caustic criticism and-a dogmatism
based upon an authoritative brand af
radicalism. These instructors may in-
dulge in such criticism the more”
freely since they usually deal with
underclassmen—that group least ready
jo reply or to resent their action, Be-
tween these extremes are, these men,
some old and some younger, often
scholarly in their interests, and al-
ways inclined to treat the student in
a way to win her confidence and stim-
ulate her mental growth—The Record of

FROM OTHER COLLEGES

Ideal College.





Women undergraduates at Brown
University have described the ideal
college:

The ideal college is an institution in
which faculty and students are of ex-
ceptional mental ability and high
moral character—an institution whose
purpose is to train the student in
straight thinking, to stimulate her
mental curiosity, arouse her powers
of appreciation and develop in her a
high sense of morality. In_ early
years mere cramming of memory ob-
scured the ideal of intellectual activ-
ity and caused a lack of proper em-
phasis upon training the student to
become a “thinking unit” in society.
Today manifold extra-curricular activi-
ties produce similar effect.

-Gowns at McGill.

Arts at McGill have recently voted to
wear the gown while in the arts building.
Dr. Stephen Leacock, professor of mathe-
matics there, and author, of several
humorous books, expressed himself in



The usual deadly boredom of such
affairs were thereby avoided&and every-
body appeared to be really enjoying the
festivity. In spite of the ritual attrac-
tion offered by the players at Wyndham,
there was a very good showing from the
start. x ae

Although there was no skit, due to the:
fact that the acting talent of .’27 was
either directly -or indirectly engaged” at
Wyndham, impromptu entertainment was

| provided .by M. DuFour with her truly

phenomenal clogging and E.. Parker, who
sang two songs from Oh, .Kay!—Maybe
and Do, Do, Do.

Fairly early ‘in the evening, a lucky
number dance was. arranged which was
won by A. L. Habson, ’30 and E. Woolley,
27. Then after several exuberant Paul
Joneses and refreshments, a dance con-
test was held. To K. Howe, 30, and
M. L. Jones, ’27 the palm of victory was
awarded.

tion in Soviet Russia, the Liberal, the
Socialist, the Communist in America,
ffe Future of Capitalism and Social-
ism in America,, What Can the Stu-
dent do for Democracy While if Col-

. BYZANTINE ART

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1



This art was like the Greek art of
the fifth century, and had followed
precisely the same development as it,
passing from. realism and stress on the
human figure for its own sake, to a
stage when the human fjgure was}
merely a detail in a composition. Why
did the same thing happen to the two
arts?

Seasons for Coincidence.
In the first place, there is a religious

reason. When the church saw no
further need of teaching, it turned
again to symbols. It represented

Christ with human, features. as a sym-
bol of the inner reality, as the Word

Thus they increasingly painted con-
ventional types, and chose out of every
scene the absolute essential for repre-
sentation, Thus, in an earty painting
of the entry into Jerusalem, one sees
the realistic treatment, introduction of
charming little boys not mentioned in
the Scripture, while the Byzantine
representation of the same scene has
no picturesque treatment, merely gen-
eralized types.

In the second place, the develop-
ment was brought about by a move-
ment of thought. - In ninth century
Byzantium, there was a great renais-
sance, when scholars read and studied
ancient manuscripts. This study con-
tinued for two centuries, so that, by
the time of the Paleologues, Byzantine
scholars were past masters of the
ancient languages. They studied, how-
ever, not Greek but Latin, and in par-
ticular Lucian and Philostrate. These
writers described’ Hellenistic art, in
which the human figure is lost in the
composition.
veloped a Hellefistic taste in art.

In the third place,-in the first half
of the thirteenth century, there came
a remarkable scientific movement,
caused by a split.in the ehurch “over



favor of the plan when interviewed by
the McGill Daily. He went on to explain
his attitude: “A gown is the cheapest
kind of dust protector and the best clothes
saver yet invented—I want to see the
gown back at McGill. and with it as much

as. possible the idea and spirit for which’

it stood—the, notion of a learned class, as-
piring to higher things, to study for its
own sake, to a pursuit of learning with-
motive. It is but little that

the question of whether nyan can win
grace through prayer and knowledge.
The iconoclats maintained that you
must study science in order to know
truth, and. so know God and win to
grace. So they studied every science.
‘Hand in hand with this went a move-
ment toward democracy. In the mid-
dle of the fourteenth century these
stopped abruptly and were followed by
a mystic and religious eee!

A great art developed in Serbia,

art went away from its source; it al-
ways became more realistic. Very
often these Serbian artists imitated
mosaics by cutting out gold leaf in
squares. An example of this is shown
in the painting of the two apostles at
Milesevo, notable also for majesty and
simplicity.

being quest’oned upon it. If the stu-
she will be quizzed on
the assigned reading at any timig it is’
argued thit she will do it regularly,
and will not allow work to pile up
‘ust before scheduled quizzes. In fact,
in most courses the drop quiz system
is an excellent incentive to work.
Furthermore, if the. professor gives
10 “quizzes he will often be lecturing
en points which the students do not
fully ‘understarid, because he has no
way of knowing just how much of the
course they have assimilated. The ad-
vantage of drop quizzes as compared
wth those announced in advance -is
that the unexpected type reveals the
degree of faithfulness of individual
members and of the whole class. This
is not possible with an announced quiz
into which the element of . cram-
ming enters and obscures other ele-
ments which really interest the teacher.
The drop quiz, it is argued, shows that
part of the student’s knowledge which
will last rather than the part which
has been stored up temporarily by the
cramming process. Any one with the

Drop vs. Scheduled Quizzes.

In reply to this; line of .argument
those opposed to drop quizzes point
out that # the gtudenf has been véry
much rushed with work in some other
course, or if she*has- heen preparing a
report, she may not have beerf able to
keep sup with her-regular- assignments,
much as she would like to do so, and
therefore she receives an unfairly low
grade in the quiz. Furthermore, the
opponents raise: the question whether

what has been really tearned and re-
tained. Do student? never study for
scheduled quizzes? Do they always
cram? Does one, moreover, retain
nothing of what is crammed? Is hur-
ried’ reviewing of a subject day ‘after
day with one’s mind partially distracted
by fear that one will not remember
after all, and by speculation as to when
the quiz will come anyhow, more con-
ducive to retention than is cramming?
And what of the student whg works
better and accomplishes more by let-
éing three,or four assignments accum-
ulate; and then doing them all at once?
Drop Quizzes vs. Discussion.
On the otheP hand, those who favor

drop quizzes argue that they give a
fairer basis for determining the prog-
ress and relatiye ability of the members
of the cla¥s. than®does the ‘discussion
system» ‘In mere clags discussion some

‘ness, their lack of self-consciousness,
or their ability to put into. spoken
words what they think, get a-*better
reputation than others who know just
as much; also students who ‘have not

fprepared a lesson get a chance to ‘sit

back and “let others do it.” . The drop
quiz tests the student’s average daily
preparation and her ability to express
on paper something of what she thinks.

of Bryn Mawr to use the advantages
which it enjoys to educate working

girls.
After her return a council was
formed. to organize the Summer

School and to plan its curriculum. It
was decided that the school should be
devoted to the giving of pure education
absolutely free from propaganda of
any kind, and with opportunities for
free discussion of every subject. In
the summer of 1921, when the school
opened, this ideal largely took shape.
The success and enthusiasm has been
so great that this year the school
council, on which are teachers, repre-
sentatives of organized labor and
alumnae of the school, decided that the
time had come to broaden -its scope.
The Board was revised to include
alumnae of. other colleges with perma-

renewable for -five years. H&ch other
school as it opened would need the
same provision. “In concluding her
speech, therefore,Miss Thomas urged
those present to send to her or $to
Dean Smith the names of people who
might be.willing to give one of these
scholarships to the school. “In help-
ing the Summer School,” said M¥&s
Thomas, “you are helping something
in the path of progress. Whatever its
drawbacks, education is so far the best
thing, which we have to meet the prob-
lems of life.”

Pioneer Student Speaks: ~

Miss Sadie Goodman, one of the
who
attended it in the summer of 1921, was
the next.to speak. She explained that

working for her ugion as a. business
agent, in- talk figures with. employers and labor
agents which she was often unable to
understand. She came, therefote, with
the idea of learning arithmetic and ‘was
a little surprised at what she found.
Fortunately, she stayed.

“The eighty-two girls who were
there,” said Miss Goodman, “impressed
me as being of three types: a Russian-
Jewish group, made up of radical girls
from the large cities, a corservative
group, and a very small indifferent
group who had come to have a good
time.

Miss Goodman said that she was
also struck by the attitude of the
faculty, which was not one of uplift-
ing, but of urging the girls to express
themselves. The big thing that every
one of the students got from the work
in the school was to be intelligently
conscious of their industrial_problems.
The courses were arranged to bring
this about. In History the girls were
taught the .part workers had played in
the development of civilization, and the
growth of the trade union movement.
In economics they learned to under-
stand how the capitalistic system had
grown up; in English they learned tc
express themselves and even saw
themselves in print.

That first summer of the school did
not. pass. without. doubts.and. questions
as to its value. The radical group
were at first unable to accept it at its
face value, and suspected a crooked
intention beneath the surface. But
after the first weeks these doubts
largely disappeared.

Opportunity for Contact.

One great advantage of the Summer
School is the opportunity it gives for
contact with the minds of other work-
ing girls. As an organizer for her
union Miss Goodman said she had ex-
perienced the difficulties of reaching
women workers whose minds are still
in the kitchen, and who, working ten
or twelve hours a day, see nothing in
life beyond eating, sleeping and the
movies. But at Bryn Mawr, no pam-
phleteering or knocking at doors is
necessary.

Furthermore, a girl who has been in
the Summer School can tell her com-
rades in more than general terms what
they are missing in life. She can de-

when’ she was-asked.-to-come-she—was-

been enjoying. With’ these weapons
she is able to make some impression-
on her ‘lethargic féllow- -workers.

In concluding, Miss Goodman ex-
pressed the. hope that other * college
would open similar schools. She
hopes that evenftially the labor move-
ment itself will be able to take over
the education of workers. But hith-
erto it has been so much occupied with
the mere struggle for existence that
it can give no substantial backing to
such a project. ‘So for a while longer,
at least, we must bear the burden our-
selves.

1926 Student Gives Views.

Miss Goodmgn was followed’ by
Miss Sara Reed, who represented last
summer’s students. She described the
feeling of awe which overcame her
when she first saw the college campus,
and the one hundred and -two girls
who were to be her fellow-students.
“It was amusing,” said Miss Reed, “to
hear girls in ‘other fields talk of their
trades. I work in a full-fashioned
hosiery mill. At. one of our trade-
parties, where each gifl describes her
own--job,;-l-had—-to-laugh-to--hear--her.
explain the making of ‘the seamless
stocking. The process was almost the
same, except that my type of stocking
was so much better.”

Miss Reed then described the proc-
es@y of making her stockings, a very
intricate one involving the attention of
sixteen persons before the article is
finished. Reading, Pa., where the fac-
tory is situated, is a non-union town,
and the working day is almost ten
hours long... When Miss Reed met the
New York girls, who only work seven
or eight hours a ‘day,.she realizes the
opportunities for reading and seeing
nature and so forth which she and her
friends were missing by the loss of
that extra two hours.

The classes which are offered by the
summer school are economics, history,
English, psychology, and appreciation
of music. Economics, Miss Reed said,
was-a subject whose existence she
hadn’t- suspected. before_she .cqme. to
Bryn Mawr. But in a few weeks she
was able to discuss it vehemently, and
to organize a course in the subject in
the local Y. W. C. A. when she got
home. oe

All the other subjects.were exceed-
ingly interesting in spite of their for-
bidding names. History, which really
explained the whys of things; music
appreciation, taught by a marvelous
Mrs. Elliott, and psychology under the
tutelage of Dr. Harley, who. suddenly

pected possibilities. The outdoor life,
swimming and tennis were all vital
parts of the summer which give girls{
in industry an opportunity to see
things as they really could be.
Athletics Is Lot of Undergrads.

undergraduates who helped in the
summer school last summer, next

plea to the winter students to leave

summer, especially waste-baskets.
The chief occupation of the under-
graduates, however, is the supervision
of athletics. They arrange classes in
swimming, tennis, baseball and folk-
dancing, and do the teaching them-
selves in a manner imitated from the

Miss Smith Reads Letters.

The last speaker was Miss Smith,
the Dean of the Summer School. She
told of a girl she once knew who said
that she had little use for education,
since people. who hdd it apparently
didn’t care enough for it to pass it on
to any one else. The summer school,
Miss Smith said, is the kind of thing
that will correct the impression. She
explained what .a residence school
could do for working girls that night

not do, in giving them the lux, of
studying in the daytime, under pleas-
ant conditions, and in offering them
the subjects they want, neither too ele-

read some letters from the: summer
school, which showed how much it
meant to them, and the. force of their
‘determination to learn,

Miss Chester then closed the formal
part of the meeting with a-final appeal

DEAN ON WOMEN

_ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1



lege Presidents and Deans are so dry
that they suppress all those things
which may be summed up as “sex ap-
peal!” It was a silly article, but it was
one of many of this type. Their seri-

. ousness...lies..in..the-fact..that..they..have.

an effect on thé minds of the girls of
our generation.

Women have only to go ahead and
do the things: they want to do. No
new feminist campaign is needed, but
our generation has to prove that we
have a real contribution to make. It is
not necessary that a woman be a bet-
ter lawyer, or surgeon than a man—
wished to undertake, work such as Dr.
Alice Hamilton has done. It is not
necessary to throw oneself into com-
petition. with men, but there are also}.
many fields in which to compete freely.

Science has never been able to prove
that women’s ability along intellectual
lines is not equal to men’s, That there
has never been a woman Raphael or
Shakespeare is only because women
have not had the opportunity to have
supreme genius. Even the muscular
supremacy of men has not been satis-
factorily proven.

Mrs. Manning ended with the cau-
tion: “Don’t start oat with-a feeling of
inferiority. Put forth all’ your energy,

handicaps of running a home have
nothing to do with sex. It is the feel-

GEOLOGIST SPEAKS’ “1

Aspects. of Pennsylvania—Are—Dis-
cussed.

“We, in Harrisburg, feel very proud
to. have Miss Bascom in Pennsylva-
nia.” Dr. Ashlev opened his lecture
by congratulating Bryn Mawr on its
good luck in having Miss Bascom as
a member of its faculty,, He then
went on to give a description of the
geologic history of Pennsylvania,
illustrated with slides.

‘ “Most people,” he said
mountains as permanent
carved from solid rock; and they find
it very difficult to picture them as|//
being transitory.” As a matter of fact,
where- we are now, there was once
a sea and before that mountains. Dr.
Ashley next showed slides illustrating
the great variety in geologic condi-
tions in Pennsylvania. In «he East
there are wide slowly flowing rivers,
Eke the Schuylkill; in thé central part
of the State there are deep ravines and
steeply banked mountains; in the West

and the North there are plateaux
which vary as to character i in different
localities.

The industries of Pennsylvania are
another aspect of the geologic condi-
tions of the State, as practically tavo-
thirds of them are based on minerals.
Six millions of the State’s output
comes from mining, $25,000,000 from
agriculture and $500,000,000 from for-
estry. Thus, compared to other min-
ing States, Pennsylvania has a saath
sal production.

Dr. Ashley gave the rest of his time
to a brief outline of the geologic his-
tory of.the State, which is divided into
two epochs, the historical and the pre-
historical. The prehistorical epoch is
represented by thousands of feet of
recks which look as if a giant had
made bread batter of them. This
folding of the rocks is very charac-
teristic of the first epoch. The _his-
torical epoch is divided into 15 parts. |
