Princeton Glee
Club Entertains|
Coronation Scene From ‘Boris’
and ‘Chorus of Peers’
Outstanding.
DANCE HELD AFTERWARD
On’ Saturday evening, March 1, a ¢on-
cest was given in Goodhart Hall, by the
Princeton ‘University Glee Club. The
program was a well-chosen and varied
one, and the quality of the singing was,
on the whole, very good, with a definite
intprovement ndéticeable in the second 4
part of the program. The. conductor,
James A, Giddings, was exceedingly alert
and efficient, and was able to change his
mood and that of the Glee Club very ef:
fectively, a test of a true artist.
There was a lack of convincing feel-
ing in the first three numbers on the
program, but perhaps the vastness of
Goodhart produced temporary _ stage
fright. J. A. Sykes. then -played a
Brahms Rhapsody in E flat and Debussy
“Traviata.” In both numbers Mr. Sykes

was delightful, the humming was beau-
tifully done and the tenor“solo was done
im the proper spirit, and maintained the
halance -perfectly.
The Octet seemed a little vague on its
two negro Spirituals, and they left some-
‘thing to be desired, but the entire club
put a great deal of feeling and sincerity
tote the “Morning Hymn,” and .enjoyed
deing the “Chorus of Peers” ‘from
“Tolanthe” immensely. This ‘enjoyment
was very ‘infectious as the audience
showed by its tremendous applause. © In
this spirited number was _insis-
tently encored.
The high points of the second part of
the program were the: Rhapsody in Blue,
played _on-two pianos (the old favorite
intact and beautifully executed except that
they -did not bring out~the crescendos
sufficient emphasis), “Eight Bells”
an? “Old Man Noah” in which the Octet
displayed a grand sense of humor as
well asa knowledge and understanding
the music, and the “Coronation
ne” from “Boris Godounoy.” The
latter is an exceedingly difficult number
ot
and involves three or four changes of
key. In consideration of this (and also.
~ the slight flutter-caused by a fire int a
scrap basket under the stage which could
be plainly smelt in the audience), the
performance -was~ a very commendable:
-The two-piano accompaniment
added a great deal to the feeling of
majesty and grandeur. :

Students Must Learn
to See Like Picasso
On Thursday, . February ‘27, Miss
Georgiana Goddard Kifig’ spoke in chapel
on Picasso and the exhibition in New
York at the Museum of Modern Art.
This exhibition is ore in the~new~ plan
of the Museum to give some twenty ex-
hibitions in the next two years and a
half, representing the great modern
painters, and students are urged: to sup-
port the movement by joining with a
pledge of $10. The official name’ of this |
exhibition is “Painting in| Paris,” » and
it contains among other things works. by

they are presented. It is interesting to
iote that. all of these gay works are by
representatives of- the oppressed nations.
“The end of art is to communicate feel-

God or between man and ‘his brother.”

On Friday, February 28, the. class
of 1933 won the undisputed champion-
ship of the college in swimming. The
resylts of this meet and. the one pre-
ceding were averaged, to give the vic-
tory to the Freshmen with 36 points
over the ‘Sophomores’ 10 and the
Juniors’ 5. Every individual award
was claimed by members of ’33as well.
Parker and Torrance tied for the
largest number of points; Parker took
the diving cup, and Torranée ran away
with a new college record for the 40-
| yard breast stroke, cutting 35,3 seconds
down to 34. This was the greatest
event of the two meets, and we con-

turns as well as on a beautiful stroke.

One of the men represented is Pierre
Bonnard, an intimist, who evokes a feel-
ing of warnith by his quiet. charm and
subtle color. There are also some fine
examples of Matisse who is usually self-
conscious—and_too—often—imitates himself:
These are “A Girl looking at a dish of
Goldfish” and. “White Plumes,” which
are as easy to read as the cover of the

works of Ferdinand Leger is the ‘‘Com-

Picasso is not like* thie two ‘dimension=

THE PARLEY
The’ petition--which— most - us.
_signed late last week must surely
have made some of us realize the
gravity of the present situation in
London. Whether or not the im-
plications of ‘the failure ofthe naval
parley were also brought home is
not so sure. It seems to us to be-
come obvious that, should the par-
ley dissolve with’ little or nothing
accomplished, the basis of the whole
_ attitude ‘of the United States to-
wards anti-war agreements would

of faith in tne torce of public opin-
ion.
cur, the gentle handling of friends
of the League, and their optimistic
hopes of bringing the U. S. Senate
to. their. point of view would be at
an end, and, we feel, the position’ of
the United States, in respect to
_armed preparation. for what, might
come, would be little advanced be-
yond the point it had reached before
the war. The result of the weak-
ening of public faith would be so
disastrous. simply —_ because
United States, so far, has _not
agreed to apply any kind of sanc-
tions in the case of nations which
make “illegal” war; thus, the foun-
dations of our peace policy are all
based on the strength of public
opinion, and the power, behind it.
The lack: ‘of general interest in
the result of the parley is on a far
larger scale, it is true, but none the
less quite comparable, to that cited
in our columns last week. Col-
legians neglect attending a meeting
which has been called expressly to
remove restraints upon their free-
dom of action... The people of a
. nation do not seem to be aroused in
“proportion to the seriousness of a
situation in which their representa-

Mr. King’s Recital a Great Success
One of the greatest treats of the
winter was given Friday evening
through the generosity of Mr. King.
The announcement of his recital drew
students, , faculty, preparatory school-
girls,
Mawr and Philadelphia until . the
Chapel was packed té the gallery. The
audience showed its genuine apprecia-
tion of his ability: by hearty and con-
tinued applause. The selections were
admirably suited to the audience, and
the order was such as to produce the
greatest dramatic effect. It seems im-
possible and unnecessary to comment
upon Mr. King’s“tontrol of ‘technique
and facial expression. ‘The very diffi-
cult change from~one character to an-
other in dialogue, as for example from
Shylock to Antonio, showed supreme
mastery of the art. One moment he
set the audience laughing with delight
at the elfin pranks: of Queen Mab: the
next: he held’ them breathless _and
spellbound with the vivid horror of
“Clarence’s Dream.” President
Thomas was justified in declaring Mr.
King the superior of Forbes-Robert-
son in his impersonation of Shylock.
Those who have enjoyed the privilege
of Mr. King’s classes have learned to,
appreciate the ‘importance of vibra-
tion and rhythm—the effective use. of
which was illustrated strikingly in re-
producing the sound of galloping horse
throughout the poem, “How They
Brought the Good News from Ghent
to. Aix.” The recital culminated in
the stirring “Charge of the Light Bri-
gade.” About ninety-four dollars was
added to the Belgian Relief Fund, but
the "enjoyment of those present was
inestimable.
Tune in on Fridays!
Last week Tue News printed an an-
nouncement concerning an interesting
radio program which was to be broad-
cast. This week ~ve wish to do two
things. First of these is to remind those
who have no classes at eleven ,on Friday,
mornings. that Damrosch_ broadcasts his
programs at that

feel a musical urge.

‘to- announce what seem to us to be the

The Woman of Andros, Thornton
Wilder. Albert and Charles Boni.
Without overdoing the deadly parallel,
it- is most obvious to compare Mr. Wil-
der with the Terence whose Andria has
given him the flot'of his slender new
novel, and to find in him the same re-
working of old themes, the same Hel-
lenic polish of form and style and the
same romantic pathos. It is this last
that Mr. Wilder has. especially taken
over amd vastly enlarged. Terence’s
comedy relates the mischances and the
finally successful issue of \a young
Athenian’s affair with the supposed
younger sister of a foreign courtesan;
in The Woman of Andros the heroine is
rather the hetaira herself, whose half-
hysterical intellectual influence over .the
youth Pamphilus is the link that holds
the plot together. All interwoven with
one another we have the themes of the
gods’ jealousy of human happiness, the
incommunicability of. love, the. hidden
sorrows and courage of. obscure lives,
the agony of partings, and, above all,
the final acceptance of life, as it is,
founded, as Conrad says,.on “the convic-
tion of solidarity in dreams, in
sorrow, in aspirations, in illusions, in
hope,_in__fear which _ binds _to-
gether all humanity—the dead to the
‘living -and* the: living tothe unborn.”
Most of the characters, as they were
purely stereotyped comedy figures, Mr.
Wilder has found difficult to transpose;
Chrysis is of. course completely trans-
formed into the brooding soul ‘of his
universe. All in all the characteriza-
tions, as the utterly different Mr. Hem-
ingway’s, seem to suffer from a para-
doxical sentimentality achieved. through
apparent reticence and the same charity,
which in this instance covers the author’s
very slim amount of material. With Ter-
ence hé may reply : “Nullumst iam dic-
tum quod’ non sit dictum prius,” but he

Freshmen and Juniors
Victors in Class: Games
The class. basketball season was
ushered ‘in- on Wednesday, February
26, with victories for 31 and ’33. The
Junior-Senior game opened “with some
excellent work on the part of Tatnall
and Thomas, forwards for.’31. Their
quick passing and good shooting re-
sulted in a lead which carried them
unscathed through ’30’s _ spirited
uprising in the second half.
first team game. The Freshmen were
fast, strong players, and ’32 was hard
put to it to hold them dawn. Alsop
and Candee, °33’s forwards, proved an
invincible pair, and although Reinhardt,
at guard i in the last quarter, rose to the
occasion nobly, the~ Freshmen were
already beyond defeat. "
By 5:30 the ‘interest in basketball
had waned, and the-sécond team game
of ’32 and ’33 was slow and clumsy.
Moore, as forward, and_ Foote, ‘as
guard, were the mainstays of the Soph-
omores, while’ Berkeley, Prugh and
Richardson did well for: °33. The
Freshmen won their victory easily with

College Course Dividend
A new curriculum, upon which the

course horizontally at the efid of the
sophomore year into upper“And lower

Every freshman and sophomore will
plan his work with the dean or an assist-
give him a foundation of general knowl

quired. For others there will be a wide
range of choicé among electives. But
for all-electives the individuality of each
student will be carefully considered by
himself and the deans.

“The admission of women to university
political clubs is not a question which is
being seriously considered at the moment
by the men,” said Mr. Dave Walker, ’28,
President of the Conservative Club at
Osgoode Hall and a Past President, ef
the MacDonald-Cartier Club. “I have

terest in politics to make the idea prac-
tical. Politics seem to be foreign to
women’s nature. They are more inter-
tions. : ;
“As the situation stands, therefore,”
said Mr. Walker, “I think that the men
on the whole prefer that their political
clubs remain a sort of stag-party, where
they do not feel any sense of restraint.”

Miss Walton then discussed possibili-
ties in the magazine world. The manu-
script reading for magazines is more in-
teresting as there is more personal con-
tact with the author. Here you have
freedom of correspondence, may suggest
changes and topics, and have the fun of
spotting a new person; there is more
play on a magazine for your own per-
sonal touch and personal opinion. “The
rewriting of manuscripts, which is not
in, a publishing house, requires
training, but is a good goal, if, for in-
stance, you have been a good editor on
the News or Lantern. Opportunities
in advertising on.a magazine are few, as
magazine advertising is usually handled
by an agency. Miss Walton added that
a-knowledge of proof reading is a valu-
able asset as it gives the beginner a
head start.
Another. field is that of the literary
There are fifteen or~ twenty
first-class literary agencies in New York
with the character of middle man be-
tween the author and the publishers and
magazines; ~ They charge “the author
commission and market his work -.ac-
cording to their own judgmént. This
field is not so overcrowded (for the bad
agencies may be neglected), and there is
excellent opportunity for one of good
taste, judgment and tact. It is not ‘as
commercial as it sounds, and is the only
field in which women have come to own
their own businesses, probably because it
calls ior little capital at the outset.
Miss Walton turned next to newspaper
work, which, she said, is one of the best
_.Ways to start if you have a certain type
2
of mind. This is, however, an uphill
game in which you have to be fifty per
cent. better than men to get ahead. The
“work is hard, the hours are difficult, but
heré-you-can writé. The best way to
begin is by general reportifig—for you
cannot.“becoiié-a—-dramatic~ critic imme-
diately !—and in a year or so on a small
paper, i. @,~one with a circulation of
40,000-60,000, you will be able to cover
all sorts of assignments. Such experi-
ence affords variety and “adventure,”
but should not be attempted unless’ you
can w rite voluminously with facility, ac-
curacy, and speed.
Miss -Walton gave some practical st fe}
vice on that disturbing question, how
to get a job. To get a job on a news-
paper, the best method is to _find-out-the
names of the city editors first, as it makes
a better impression if you know. whom
you want to see, and then—camp on the
doorstep! A newspaper staff is very
elastic, and apt to use an extra reporter

any job offered to you by a publishing
house or magazine, even as filing clerk,
since the important point is to get a
foothold from which you can work up
and, this does not take long. If you
know -a lot about history of art, you
might try art magazines, although many
magazines have special art jobs such as

we find blessedness. Jesus taught the
right to have convictions,
There was thirdly the mark of sac-
rifice on Jesus’ face as He went south
from Jericho. Sacrifice is the urge
through which we yield our ¢omfort
for the good of our neighbors. This
urge lives in us alongside. the instinct
of self-preservation, which too often
we have called: the first law. Yet
Jesus chose not to live. It is a truth
of life that the instinct of self-giving
‘must eventually come into conflict with
that of self-preservation, and when this
point was reached with Jesus, He
threw His wéght on the side of self-
giving. The reason for such a choice
rappéars in the- redemptive” power of
sacrifice, Father Damien gave —him-
self to -the’ lepers on the island of
Molokai and only recently has the rea-
son been revealed in a cure for leprosy.
Animal and human parents sacrifice
their young and only thus do the
young survive. In the process of re-
demption many may be lost for the
good of a greater number. Thus many
lives were sacrificed in the early rail-
road building, and many scientists have
given their lives in the study of radium.
Redemptive power is ‘in direct pro-
portion to the extent .to which the
agent is worthy. ‘Though I give my
body to be- burned, and have not

demption is not perfect through” any

Christ. “There was no other good
enough;” He only-was perfect, and in
Him only therefore redemption | is
complete. ‘“Steadfastly He set His
face to go to Jerusalem.” The shame
was great. For fifty years, Jesus ap-
peared in records only as “that man,”
r ‘the hung.” Yet we place the cross
the redeeming power of Christ through
sacrifice:
Each of us is made up of many
selves clamoring for -dominance, and
the choice of any one course must be
to the exclusion of others. In making
His choice Jesus ‘steadfastly set- His
face to go to Jerusalem.” With us
such stern crises seldom arise, but we
are. closely concerned with the choice
between* pleasure and joy as principles
of .living. “Pleasure is a twenty-five-
cent commodity; we pay our quarter
and get our movie show. But the joy
is the sacrifice of our lower selves for

Latin Suggested For
International ‘Tongue
It is often. amazing to have unex-
pected facts. brought to one’s attention.
If one should say in an offhand way to,
almost any one that Latin, the language
of the ancient Romans, has been used
without a break for more than two thou-
sand five hundred years and is, still the
most widely used language in the world,
he might be met either with a denial
of the fact er with a request to prove
it. The proof can be easily given.
Greek has been used continuously for
about two thousand seven hundred years.
It has been used, however, by a small
number of people, and/as a spoken lan-
guage has changed in pronunciation so
\much that-one must study modern Greek
(or Romaic) as a new language in order
to understand it. / Thucydides and Per-
icles could read the modern Greek ‘news-
paper of today without any trouble, but
they would not be understood if they
spoke the language of ancient Greece and
they could not understand anything that
a modern Greek would say to them.
First, and most important, Latin has
‘been, from the third century A. D. and
still is, the language of the Roman Cath-
‘elie Church. In fact, the Jesuits, who
are thé .most scholarly of the Catholic
orders, converse in Latin as easily as
in their ow n mother tongues. Their col-

Most of our own American scholars who
have taken their degrees abroad, par-
ticularly in the humanities, had to sub-
mit their theses .in Latin. Our English
law books are replete with concise: form-
ulas, all in Latin. The pharmacies of
the world have their shelves full of bot-
tles, the contents of which are labeled
in Latin. Most of the physicians over
the civilizéd world write their prescrip-
tions in Latin.
The Romance languages are much
higher in percentage of Latin derivatives
than English, but in the English lan-
guage nearly sixty-three per cent. of
the words are derived from Latin, either
directly or through the Norman-French,
It is not to be wondered at that there
is a steady desire to take full advantage
of the great heritage we have from
Latins. Some scholars have urged that
it be made officially the second language
of every nation. There would seem to be
no need for that, for Latin already- is.
In Italy, Germany; Denmark, France,
Spain and England, Latin is more nearly
the second language to the mother tongue
than is true in the more isolated United
States. 7
Even here at the present time~ more
than half our pupils in the secondary
schools study Latin—and. the percentage

years. More, in fact, study Latin than

iM Sei Dishonse of the Pun
A pun has been described as the low-
est. fexea of wit; and if this definition is
.true, or even approximately correct, the
brand.of humor at McGill must be of a
particularly’ bad quality, for our stu-
dent body boasts a number of punsters |
who have a‘remarkable knack of turning
the phrase.
The pun for some unknown reason has
sunk in the general opinion as well as
in the estimation of critics. ‘You may
spit on your hostesses’ carpet,” said a
well-known English instructor, “and you
may get away with it, but give birth to
a pun in the best circles and you will
be marked out for social ostracism.”
And this holds true not only in the “best
circles” but also among students gath-
ered around the convival checker-board.
A poor joke is gteeted with polite laugh-
ter but the pun, what of it? - It is.re-
ceived in..a—storm—of.groans.and__if its
originator is fool-hardy enough to. re-
peat the éxperirhent he will be summarily
banished.
And to what are We to ascribe the
great modern movement away from the
pun? To jealousy—nothing® but sheer
jealousy. Consider for a moment whom
the punster_ are: — — the quick and nim-
ble-witted. Consider the scoffers ;
the dull and the slow. There you have
the answer. Punning has gone out ‘of
fashion along with the versatile brain. _
Theriginator of a joke has time in
which to prepare his. material. We can
evefi imagine him closeted in his study
buried in the research which is to end
in the bringing to light of a new joke.
But the pun is the work of an instant—
a flash: of fire from a white-hot brain.
May we. long continue to have punsters
in our midst and may ‘the masses be
speedily brought to a realization of their
merits. —McGill Daily. :

“‘Kademie Style
Academic costume has precisely the
same reason for being as any other spe-
cial costume—it rests on the feeling that
any. specially important. occasions can
be given desirable distinction by speeial
dress as well as by special ceremonies. |
Academic costume is simply academic
evening dress, so to speak.
The form: of the costume ‘comes. to}.
us from Europe; where it goes back to
antiquity. The gown and hood are cur-
rently considered a survival of the old
monkish cassock and cowl of the middle
ages, when the monks were the only
scholars, though the origin of the par-
ticular cap seems uncertaip. The formal
adoption of the costume: in America is
comparatively recent, but its use by col-
lege faculties has: spread so rapidly that
now it is nearly universal ,in the greater
Smith repre-
sents one of the last American colleges
to adopt it.
In Europe the greatest diversity of
usage prevails, both as to forms and
colors, each university being a law unto

invariably black, rather simple for the
Bachelor’s degree, more complicated for
the Master’s degree and more elaborate

are black outside—a hood with a colored
exterior meaning always a’ foreign,
usually an English or Canadian, degree;
but they show colored linings and bord-
ers. The color of the velvet border, most
conspicuous in the broad bands rising
over the shoulders, indicates always the
subject or “faculty” in which the de-
gree was taken. Thus a white border
means Arts and Letters; scarlet, ,Theol-
ogy; purple, Laws; green, Medicine;
blue,’ Philosophy; gald yellow, Science;
brown, Fine Arts» pink, Music. As most
of the members of the faculty who have
doctor’s. degrees are Doctors of ..Phi-
losophy—which nowadays includes a
great range of study—the blue border
will be common in our hoods. The col-
ors of the lining of the hoods are al-
ways the recognized or official ‘colors of
the university or college that has granted
the degree. Thus, the lining of all Har-
vard hoods is crimson; Yale, blue;
Princeton, orange and black; Johns Hop-
kins, black and old gold;. Amherst, pur-
ple and white; Williams, royal purple;
Bryn Mawr, yellow and white; Welles-

‘Mental Strains
“In my close personal observation of
more than three thousand. Smith stu-
dents over’ a period of several years, I
have encountered only twenty-one real
pathological cases involving true psy-
choses, Dr. Anna Mann _ Richardson,
college physician, told the Alumnae
Council of Smith College at the final
session, of, the widffiinter meeting.
Of these twenty-one students nine have
bé n able to return to college, and all
have been reported as cured. Milder
mental conflicts have involved only one
hundred and ninety students. Of these,
nearly fifty have been due to’ situations
in the home. Girls who have been too
completely under their mother’s control,
or in three cases under. their - father’s,
have had difficulty in facing the new
responsibilities of college life. The few
students whose homes have been broken
up by divorce of their parents face a
situation devastating to, their mental in-
tegrity, and frequently have to leave col-
lege under the strain.
“Then there are the spoiled children,
and those who have been brought up to
think they are perfect in every respect
and find they are not; and on the other
hand-there—are—many—who~at~first—feet
inferior in their social background or
personality,. and react either by rebel-
lion or depression.
“Among all these three thousand girls,
I have found only four whose disturb-
ance was due to a conflict in their, re- |.
ligion.”—New York Times.
The Feminine Cut
When one considers the essential need
apparent today for that most finished and
exquisite accomplishment called “cut-

one wonders if an elementary.course such
as the “Rudimentary Principles of the
Gentle Art of Cutting” would not be ap-
preciated. The finesse necessary belongs

Class Team Games
On Monday evening, March 3, 1931
vanquished the Freshman first team,
the Freshman second team won over
1930's second team, and. the Sénior
and Sophomore first teams tied in the
second hatch of class games this sea-
son. In the Junior-Freshman first
team’ game, Moore “Was particularly
valiant as guard for ‘31, while Leidy
played a beautiful. game as side-cen-
tre for.°33.. Tatnall, forward for the
Juniors, did most of the scoring.
The ‘30-33 second team match was
painfully dull, the. ball going ‘from
centre to the Freshman forwards, who
dropped it in with little or no. opposi-
tion. Richardson, centre for '33,. did
the prettiest playing on the floor.
The closest game of the year ended
with a tie at 20-20 when the Seniors
shot their final basket just. as. the
whistle blew, thus disappointing the
Sophomores of a hard-fought victory.
The Senior guards were excellent
throughout, “and made "32's forwards
struggle for every shot. Cameron and
Goetz were equal to it, however, and
made a good attack, until Goetz put
an ankle out of shapé. The Sopho-
1 6ré* Centres did some spirited play-
ing, and the guards too played an alert
game. Strenuous work on both sides
