James Stephens Sees
Renaissance Ahead
Change Is Manifestation — of
Mind, Not Brain; Amer-
ica Leads Movement
JAZZ ERA HAS ENDED
Mr. James Stephens, speaking on
“Our Overdue Renaissance,” Tues-
day, November 27, prophesied, specu-
lated upon, and gave reasons for the
occurrence of a general renaissance
at this time, centering in this coun-
try, and made manifest in new lit-
erary forms and ideas. ’
The Greeks had great power both
as manipulators of the humap form
in ‘marble and
Shakespeare had a comparable. degree
of facility in his art. ‘In contradis-
tinction to this ease of expression we
find the pre-war artists turning to
violence for expression: Nietzsche’s
philosophy, Rodin’s sculptures, the
imagists, the cubists, the dadajsts
paralleled in art the violence of the
suffragettes and the struggles of la-
bor and capital. The community felt
itself deficient somewhere so it adopt-
ed a spirit of violence, which inevit-
ably culminated in the World War.
From 1914 the world was growing
self-conscious: it realized its lack.
The social order was evolving so that
it might carry on.. Violent forms of
dancing and of music alone typify the
jazz era, a movement introduced first
in America, the only country left with
energy enough to evolve and export.
James Stephens in a broadcast on
December 31, 1931, said that that day
was’ the last of the jazz era and that
with 1932 was coming a new epoch,
dependent upon mind instead of upon
brain. From, 1914 to..1932 there was
a sort of lapse‘not fulfilling normal-
ly, im which: living was not as it
should be. 1982 had outlived the
strange Victorianymanner. Writers
had attacked the Victorian manner
with singular rage in an attempt to
destroy it. But their premeditated
destruction was only pretense; in
reality it’ was a destruction of the
horse age, of the age of peasantry,
and was attributable to progress in
the mechanical sciences. America’s
work was precisely this: the inven-
tion of such things as the car, the ra-
dio, and the wireless destroyed the
peasantry, a class which exists only
upon ‘isolation. The change is not
merely an external manifestation of
speeds; this new world is built by
the mind and the new era is a mani-
festation of mind.
The former world—a world of ani-
mal creation—is not present today.
Our world environment is a sense only
of other human beings. We seek no
longer after solidarity, but rather af-
ter this sense of ourselves and others

James Stephens Discusses
Poetry at Informal Tea
At an informal tea given by Mrs.
Chadwick-Collins for James -: Steph-
ens, the poet entered into discussion
with a few students on many subjects,
including ghosts, criticism, college
poetry, methods of composition, and
dbseurity in modern works.
In speaking of ghosts and spirits,
the poet declared it would be an un-
interesting world if there were only
the elements of good, and that he be-
1ieves in reincarnation,—that, in fact,
he has a definite feeling that in his
next reincarnation he will be a female
and will in that case be able to come
to Bryn Mawr. The prospect pleases,
it seems, because he considers this
campus, with its atmosphere of quiet
sseclusion, one of the most beautiful
campuses he has -ever visited,
Serious discussion got under way
with his being asked the difference
between poetry and prose. He said
the two had nothing in common. The
style of each differs in accordance
with its different purpose: prose re-
quires an argumentative style and
a form providing a beginning, a mid-
dle, and an end, whereas poetry de-
mands a thought complete unto it-
self.
After the reading of original po-
etry by several students in the group,
Mr. Stephens gave his views on @rit!-
cism. He said: “All real criticism
's destructive, for that is the essence
of criticism. A thing which is com-
plete and good is to be complimented,
not to be ‘criticized.” He stopped,
apropos of this, to remark upon the
perfect technique, the flowing quality
and the depth of thought in the poet-
ry read, and, reverting to explana-
tion of his terms, he, stated his be-
lief that only lesser poets. display
emotion, and that the great poets
speak with passionate utterance,
neither human nor personal, but rath-
er anonymous and universal. The
words themselves must come’ to the
poet’s drunken mind unconsciously.
“An aspiring poet must practice Yogi
exercises_and fast and pray.” Steph-
ens himself has an exercise which he
lic speech. Five minutes before he is
going on the’stage he spends entirely
alone, emptying his mind, and medi-
tating.
The fact that the art of poetry re-
quires no conscious preparation he
illustrated by his*own start in writ-
ing. He wrote no poetry until after
he was twenty-one years old. e One

Miss King Reviews
N ovember Lantern
Editorial Challenges Students to
Attempt Self-Expression
in Literature
FORMAT IS APPROVED
(Especially Contributed by Miss
Georgiana Goddard King)
One who served nearly six years on
the Lantern—the last of them, frank-
ly; because no one else could be found
willing to carry on the job—must of
necessity year by year take up the
autumn issue with acute interest in
everything: format, typography, ta-
ble of contents, the color of the cov-
er and the color of the contents. Ob-
jectively, the» November number of
1933. is peculiarly pleasant: the page,
the paper, and, above all, the print.
Subjectively, it is surprising. Not just
that apparently the whole magazine
is written by the editors, with, the ex-
ception of a book review and the poem
Respite, though indeed these two
pieces haye most the air of inevita-
bility, of being spontaneously compos-
ed to get something off one’s mind:
one an opinion, the other a feeling.
The Sonnet and The River have
both the aspect of being selected for
publication out of a private portfolio,
as-though the writer had the habit
of writing; the one is grave, concern-
ed with inward things, the other fan-
ciful, descriptive, moody. But all
three pieces of verse are loyal to the
here and now, in sincerity of the best
sort. The two pieces, while not in
} the Jeast old-fashioned, are more ten-
tative, Writing courses, which are
necessary dangers when they are not
heaven-sent opportunities, tend to en-
courage this kind. They are, never-
theless, neatly done; the choice of sub-
ject is significant, and all to the good.
The one-act play is an ingenious mur-
der-mystery, solved by the so-called
French system of reconstructing the
event. As everyone reads the Lan-
tern there is no need to relate the
plot. The opening dialogue which un-
folds it and places the figures might
perhaps be shorter, but the piece is
stage-thought, the mystery is sustain-
ed, and the personages. are sympa-
thetic.
The editorial is what amazes. Very
well written, it reads a burial service
over “pure literature,” Among 497
students, of whom only a few. may
adopt writing as a profession, is there
not enough creative impulse—of the
bubbling well, of the upward-leaping
flames — which is normal to human
youth, to carry a quarterly of forty
pages? The word, written and spoken,
is the one certain means of self-ex-
pression common to mankind. If the
student of economics has taken a
problem and: shaken it and made a so-
lution or at least a conclusion, no
matter how tentative or temporary,
what she writes with fire will be read
with enthusiasm. ‘Let instruction go
to the dogs. If the other student has
really enjoyed and understood some
music strictly modern, a written page,
while telling the world, can enhance
her own private pleasure. Away with
edification! Not mutal self-improve-
ment, but communicated feeling, is
the function of art, and to the art of
discourse we were all born, nor can
any calamity rob us of its exercise.
In short, the recommendation of the
editorial is all admirable except the
alleged motive and method. The sec-
tion on Questions and- Comments
would be a goodly gift to the College
News, where conceivably such matter
belongs, yet it does very nicely where:
it_is. rai
The Lantern, then, is serious, rep-
resentative, and well-written. If in
the present state of the nation and
of the world, and in consequence of
the: lectures and conferences on the
Shaw Foundation, the, trend of
thought and feeling is as here deter-
mined, so. much the worse for the
world and the better for the Founda-
tion. Surprisingly free from unreali-
ties and throw-backs, it is sincere, it
is re dern. ay P

In the United States, where man

Not far from Philadelphia, in a
place of almost incredible beauty, in
the foothills of the Alleghany moun-

charming as well as a strange settle-
ment. In the centre is a colossal,

lawns several meters in length and

buildings, each of which include about
200 public and private rooms. Be-

in a wood which covers the side of
the foothills of the Alleghanies—are
charming little villas, little single

The whole place is surrounded and

which are necessary to the life of a

Performance
CONTEST END$ IN DRAW
Varsity came up against a stiff for-
ward line with Dr. Blanchard and Mr.
Carlson making full use of their one-
handed polo-playing technique, Dr.
Watson’s bea-utiful stickwork, Dr.
Nahm’s steady plunges which result-
ed in two goals, and Dr. E. Diez’s
neat chip-shots in the wing position.
The Faculty backfield proved to be
Varsity’s Waterloo. Dr. M. Diez,
Dr. Turner, and Dr. Metzger offered
a stolid defense wall, which was back-
ed by Dr. Broughton with his tricky
dodges and by Dr. Richtmeyer who
proved himself an excellent mashie
shot, to say nothing of Dr. Dryden,
who defended his cage nobly-in the
well-known attitude of an ice hockey
goalie.
All in all, the game provided plen-
ty of thrills and excitement for the
spectators and much amusement for
the players of both teams. Basket-
ball is next on the schedule and it’s
a good team that can beat any Fac-
ulty quintet in this sport. Until then

NATIONALISM IS THREAT
“
formula of causti¢ realism,with which
youth of the present generati
brushes aside all idea of the nobility
of war,” said Miss Jane Addams, at
the opening of her lecture, the last
of the Anna Howard Shaw Memorial
Series, entitled Opportunities of the
New Day, in Goodhart Hall, Monday
night, December 4.
The peace movement since the war
has embraced a wide diversity of
adherents, among whom _ there is,
again, a wide diversity of immediate
aims. Churches, schools and colleges,
women’s clubs, and Chambers of
Commerce,—almost every part of the
social order has striven for peace.
Some look first toward prohibition of
military training in schools; some
hope for renunciation of the Monroe
Doctrine, which they consider harm-
ful; some would have the Japanese
put on the quota; some wish to with-
draw the marines from the Caribbean.
All, however, unite: in one ultimate
objective—to make war less probable,
if not impossible.
Exaggerated estimate of one’s own
country, fostered by nationalistic
propaganda during the war, has stood
in the way of post-war peace meas-
ures. This was particularly mani-
fest in the spirit of economic nation-
alism which continually stood in the
way of the International Ecenomic
Conference, held last summer in Lon-
don. :
The Wheat Commission of that
Conference considéred, not how much
wheat must be produced to feed the
world, but how much could be sold in
the market. While they lamented huge
surpluses, they were not conscious of
the famished communities in China
to whom wheat might be fed. . Their
instincts were purely commercial, in
a narrowly nationalistic spirit.
The Conference did, however, repre-
sent a good initia) effort, an instance
of world-wide economic planning,
which will be followed, we hope, by
the acceptance of human needs, not
profits, as the cornerstone on which
to build production.
Nineteenth century demands for
self-government and democracy have
now become pleas for economic secur-
ity. Opponents to f@ace, neverthe-
less, think force will still be necessary
to provide this security — either to
maintain the present economic sys-
tem, or to change it for a better, or
to put down opponents to such a
change once constitutionally effected.

Art Class Hears Alumna
Lecture on Iconography
Monday morning in First Year His-
tory of Art class Margaretta M. Sal-
inger, Bryn Mawr, ’28, and holder of
a Traveling Fellowship, ’29-’30, spoke
on Iconography. Miss Salinger is an
authority on the two subjects she se-
lected, the Vesperbild and the Throne
of Grace in Sacred Art, since she
has studied under Professor Pinder
of Munich, and is now Special Cata-
loguer to the Department of Paint-
ings at the Metropolitan in New
York. Her/analysis of the motifs was
especially interesting to . the class,
which had plumbed the depths of ig-
norance on iconography in the late
scheduled quiz.
The Vesperbild is a representation
of the Virgin and Jesus after His
descent from the cross and may not
be confused with the Pieta, which is
an historical picture of the same
event in the Passion, and includes the
figures of the Marys and certain of
the Apostles. The name, Vesperbild,
is derived from the time of day at
which this part of the Passion oc-

‘It is with satisfaction that the supporters of self-government greet

had their being only in the fact that they were broken openly and
boarding houses at which students were permitted to stay, and with
and not on those of the college, and no constant threatening on. the
much to strengthen the position of the student jurisdiction. The secret
of the success which any self-government organization can hope to
attain must rest not on the terror which it inspires in the students, but
on the cooperation which it promotes. And cooperation cannot be
propagated by rules whose one distinguishing characteristic is strict-
ness. In the past there have existed several rules at Bryn Mawr which
frequently by all and sundry. These had to do with the hotels and
the places to which we were permitted to go in a spirit of fun and
frolic. The rules limited the establishments of this sort to the dullest
and most moribund spots to be found in the East, and consequently
no one ever considered going to them. Instead we have all been sign-
ing out to the home of a forewarned friend, and then going off gaily
to the ends ofthe earth and whatever hotel pleased our plans and to
whatever den of iniquity pleased our escorts. :
The habit of breaking rules is a very bad one as far as its effects
on the standing of the student body is concerned, and if the new rules
are going to make cooperation possible within the bounds of ordinary
life.they should receive the support of the entire college. The rank!
and file of Bryn Mawr undergraduates would prefer to tell the truth
about their activities, and if they can be encouraged to do so by the
inauguration of a more liberal attitude toward where they spend their
carefree hours it would mark a great advance in the evolution of Bryn
Mawr student government.
There are those who feel that by relaxing the rules and allowing
more freedom to the students they will be subjecting the college to the
criticism of the moralists who consider that no young woman is either
capable or desirous of looking after herself until she has attained the
ripe old age of thirty. To their arguments there can be but one answer
—that the position of the college suffers much more from the flagrant
breaking of impossible rules than it ever could from an open removal
of those rules. Further, if the object of the many books and signing
out paraphernalia is to enable the college authorities to locate a girl
in case of emergency, would it not be more effective if the girl signed
out her actual destination instead of giving the address of a kind and
understanding friend living some hundred miles from the scene of
operations?
Again, if the object of the rules is to protect our manners and
morals, they are seeking to operate jar a field where they have no real
power. The behavior of every student depends on her own standards
part of the powers that be will keep a girl out of trouble if she would
rather be in. What the rules can do is encourage girls to admit where
they are going, and if thither lies trouble, at least the college will
know they are there. We have all been told by our families at one
time or another that they would rather we kept out of the scandal
sheéts, but that if we must misbehave they would rather know about it|
from us than from the public at large. In a sense this same principle
applies to the college, for it likes to think of itself as our foster parent
(at least in the case of those who turn out to be the pride and joy of
the nation). If the authorities know where we intend to stay in New
York, they can reply to the outraged queries of the moralists as to|

(The News is not responsible for

To the Editor of the College News:
In saying I will not tolerate such
a criticism of “Heartbreak House” as
was printed in the last number of the
News, I am voicing the opinion of
many other people in the college.
C ty in criticism turns the reader
nh indignation against the critic rath-
er than against the piece criticized.
“Without go6d breeding truth is
disapproved.” Of course, personal
opinion must enter into criticism, but
it should be expressed with some de-
gree of courtesy. Moreover, in such
a.statement as the opening sentence,
there is room for questioning the
truth of it. I believe some of our
short of the ideal than did this pro-
duction of “Heartbreak House.” We
should prefer to be told the endeav-
ors of the Hedgerow group; we
should rather be guided to their par-
tial successes than be stunned by
the over-emphasis of their failures.’

Varsity Overcomes
William and Mary, 3-0
First Southern Hockey Team
to Invade North Proves
Unsuccessful
%
-B.-M. TAKES OFFENSIVE.
On Friday afternoon, Varsity de-
feated the William and Mary hockey
team, the first Southern women’s. hoc-
key team to be. sent North, by the
score 3-0.
Although William and Mary boast-
ed an excellent backfield, which of-
fered a compact barrier to the con-
tinuous attack of the Bryn Mawr
line, the forwards were noticeably
lacking in any united effort to get the
ball into scoring position.
The Bryn Mawr forwards started
the game with a speedy offensive
drive backed up by a strong defense,
which allowed the ball to get into
Bryn Mawr territory only a few
times. The forwards, for the most
part, played better than we dared hope
for, had excellent control of the ball,
passed cleanly and accurately, and,
but for the stubborn resistance of. the
opposing backfield, would have scored
again and again.
Varsity ended its season with a type
of hockey that we have Aong wished
to see, played hard agafnst an excel-
lent team, and reaped its reward. If
the good work continués, there should
be plenty of opposition in the game

James Stephens Discusses
Poetry at Informal Tea
(Continued from Page One)
morning he went to awaken a friend
who didn’t like to. get up in the morn-
ing, and while he: was waiting for his
friend to arise he picked up a small
book lying nearby; but when he saw
it was poetry, he put it back. He
waited longer, and finally picked the
book up again and read one verse.
His first inward comment—was,“My
God! The sense! of it!” So he read
the second verse. Now, at that time
he was the champion gymnast of Ire-
land, and he had formed the habit,
“on observing acrobatics, of accurate-
ly judging his own ability to do a
particular stunt. His reaction to the
second verse was a realization of his
competence to write poetry, and
thereupon ‘he went home that night
and wrote twenty-four poems. “Poets
are akin to unwieldy wooers who
win by strength and ignorance, not |
displaying the intellect, but creating |
unconsciously~’
His theory of poetic composition |
naturally brought forth questions re-
garding the obscurity in much mod-|
poetry, and, especially, objection
t6 ‘Hopkins’ obscure poetry. “There
is a value in obscurity,” said Mr.
+3
Stephens, “and if there is so-called
obscurity the blame is to be put on
. the poet or the reader, but in regard
-who is incompetent.”
to Hopkins’ poetry it is the reader
Hopkins’ verse
has two- subjects: the thought and
the music, which provides a back-!
ground for the first.- The words are
not merely strung together; they are
designed to give a feeling of melody.
Mr. Stephens remarked that he is
now engaged in writing twelve son-
nets, which he hopes will be utterly
incomprehensible to anyone but him-
self, “for only those who understand
can understand.” - He also read some
- of his own poems in this connection,
notably The Universe, which he de-
scribes as pure vacuity, and Love.

ebrred,—at fwilight on the*first day
of the Passion, One of the earliest
sources for the theme of the Vesper-
bild is a twelfth century poem in
which the desire of the Virgin to once
more hold Christ in ‘her arms is ex-
pressed. Then at the end of the thir-
teenth century, the Mirror of Con-
stance describes her wish as fulfilled;
Christ lies in her arms and she is
content. The greatest Vesperbild of
Italian art and*probably the greatest
in the world is that of Michaelan-
gelo in St. Peter’s at Rome.
The second motif,” that of the
Throne of Grace, shows the Virgin
and St. John, or God the Father, sup-
porting Christ after his crucifixion.
Sometimes this receives the generic
name of the Trinity when a dove is
included; but the wide. range of rep.
resentations of the Trinity makes this
label too inaccurate in the naming
of the Throne of Grace and it is bet-
ter to use the narrower term. A pic.
ture attributed to El Greco and rep-
resenting God the Father supporting
His Son, as the holy Dove hovers over-
head has the same purely spiritual
and unhistorical significance as the
Vesperbild. Both of these subjects,
therefore, are sublimations of events
in the Passion, and represent a mys-
tical and religious idea detached from

The United States, one of a very
few countries in which energy is re-
surgent, has no need to apply for ma-
terial to an old Europe, weary artis-
tically and materially. The time for
sleep has.come in Europe. America
and Russia will probably be the two
poles for international affairs which
England ‘and France have been so
long. Similarly, as England was a
wealthy and poetic nation, so the
United States will be; .as France’s
preoccupations were with war and
criticism, so will Italy turn to these;
and as Germany was engrossed in so-
cial organization and music, so Rus-
sia will be occupied. This transfer
of energy is'only normal, although
this is the first time in’ history in
which energy is being taken up by
countries with an idealistic rather
than a materialistic background.
This break from tradition is quite
recent. Until thirty or forty years
ago America was still following Eng-
land. So far as literary aspirations
were concerned,. Lowell, Whittier,
Poe, Emerson, Hawthorne and Mark
Twain were all getting in step with
the English tradition. Then came a
wave of immigration which forced the
United States to rest until the di-
gestive process was finished. Today
the United States is again upon its
feet, not following England this time,
but a little in advance. The earlier
American writings show that their
authors attained technique but not

Poe’s Helen), which was perfect in

Frost, Robinson, and Lindsay captur-
ed the content of poetry in addition
to the form. This country is now, as
a result, almost entirely alone in its
production of a native literature of
imaginative ‘adventure. With this
came a renaissance in criticism as
well: America started working on

This renaissance involves all of us,

Mr. Stephens concluded his lecture
by reading illustrative poems from his
own works. He read A Minuet to
show his means of conveying the sense
of a dance, and a piece on water de-
signed to convey, an elemental feel-
ing of the abstractness of the subject.
Lonéliness also gave an extraordinary
sense of rhythm, emotional and with
an underlying sensuous mood that
made’ the piece seem all the purer
poetry for the absence of intellectual
substance.

tive secretary of the National Com-

that thousands of jobless graduates
of colleges and: universities are be-

of American society because of the
discontent rife among them.

Jane Addams Talks
on Peace Movement
Women’s International League
- Nearly Managed to End
World War
“Any orthodox lecture on peace)

was bold enough to put peace in the
Jane Addams, speaking in Goodhart
Auditorium, Monday night, November
27, on The Hopes We Inherit. For
three centuries the early Christians
would have nothing to do with war,
until Saint Augustine vindicated just,
as distinct from «unjust, fighting. Sul-
ly, Grotius, Quakers like Fox and
Penn, and, in our own day, Count
Tolstoi, made efforts to recapture the
early Christian attitude, without
widespread success. When the Age
of Enlightenment was ready to con-
demn war as opposed to reason, a
series of nationalistic, revolutionafy
struggles once more ennobled the con-
cept of war. .
In the Victorian era, projects were
set on foot toward peace. Though
the peace methods pursued before the
Great. War failed to avert that con-
flict, there is something to be said
for them as laying the foundation for
later and more successful post-war
plans.
In the late nineteenth century, peo-
ple talked of the gradual abandon-
ment of war by a triple international
process, corresponding in its three
parts to~the three” branches~ of~ the
United States Government. The first
is the judicial method. The _Court
at The Hague, opened in 1899, seem-
ed the consummation of long effort.
The United States led the way by
first using the Court when Roose-
velt appealed to its judgment over the
trouble with Mexico about lands in
Southern California. Roosevelt ap-
pealed to it again in connection with
fisheries, confirming American . ap-
proval of arbitration methods as made
possible through the Court.
The second peace method was the
legislative. An _ Interparliamentary
Union, composed of two representa-
tives each from nations with parlia-
mentary government, was established
in 1888, to discuss together matters
of international interest, and then to
uphold the views of the Union before
the legislatures of their own coun-
tries. This Union was able to effect
such a world-wide reform as the use
of white phosphorus for the protec-
tion of the workers in the match-in-
dustry. :
The third of the peace methods was
the executive. This branch of en-'
deavor worked through commissions,
of which there have been listed as
many as 375, among them the Inter-
national Postal Union. Concerning
themselves with shipping, manufac-
turing, health, and other matters, and
they did their work so well that peo-
ple soon recognized their usefulness.
In the midst of the apparent prog-
ress toward peace came the Great
War. These first steps did not per-
manently fall. to pieces, - however;
many of the commissioners, for in-
stance, reorganized promptly and effi-
ciently at the elose of the war. With
the horrors of war fresh in their
minds, men- were more than ever
ready to work for peace.
Out of the war grew the League of
Nations and the International Court,
the latter unlike and superior to the
earlier ‘World Court at The Hague.
The League Assembly Room is often
the scene of striking incidents, Dur-
ing one session, a black man from
Haiti rose to protest against the con-
duct of certain British soldiers in
bombing African villages. to collect
taxes. To this man, challenging on
a purely moral issue, representatives
of the British Empire excused their
countrymens’ conduct and explained
that reparations had been made.
On another occasion, the great
French minister, Briand, in reply to
a speech of the German Chancellor,
declared that—for good political and
economic reasons French and Ger-
mans had fought ever since they’ were
called Teutons and Gauls, but pre-
dicted that war should never happen
again, that another method of settling
disputes was now provided in the
Council and Assembly of the League.
A type of peace society sprang up
after the war, like the League for
Democratic Control in England and
in Germany the Band of the New
Fatherland. The former believed that
if the situation in the British For-
eign Office “were submitted to ‘the
House of Commons year by year for
discussion; “it “‘would-make* for better
foreign relations. vie
In May, 1915, the Women’s Inter-
national League was established. A
group of American women was invited
to meet a group of Europeans in
The Hague. Most of them were suf-
fragettes of the International Suf-
fragette Association. Twelve coun-
tries were represented, and they sat
for three and a half days. They hop-
ed, not to stop war like a traffic po-
liceman, but to get together various
national efforts and present to their
countries a feasible peace program.
They advocated a system of contin-
uous mediation, devised by (Grace
Wales, of the English Department of
the University of Wisconsin. The
idea was that if a group of educated
people from the neutral countries ‘met
in a neutral capital to consider. the
fortunes of the war,-it might make
suggestions which would lead to nego-
tiation.
To make the plan known,
groups of women set out, one to the
Scandinavian countries and. the other
to Central Europe. They boldly took
the scheme to the Prime Minister and
to the Minister for Foreign Affairs
in every country, who, having already
gone through one winter of the war,
with expense, terror, and loss of life,
were ready to hear the, proposition.
There was an amazing response to
the plan. The Hungarian minister
applauded the women for taking such
two}
a step, and declared that it was the
first sensible. proposition that had
come to him since the war _ began.
Lloyd George, then Minister of Muni-
tions, confessed to occasional misgiv-
ings@s to the rightness of war.
The Women’s International League
met at the close of the war in Zurich,
with twenty-three countries represent-
ed. Later meetings were held at Vi-
enna, and in Ireland. The League,.
like all other peace societies, pinned
its faith on negotiation, as a means
of avoiding war.
American peace societies, started as
far back as 1826, as the peace exhib-
it in the present World Fair will
prove, culminated in the widespread
post-war longing for peace. War is
an anachronism, and, whether or not
we are at present down in the trough
of peace, there is a determination in
the hearts of the people and of groups
to bring war permanently to an end.
“There is nothing like a strike to
dodge examinations,” say Chinese stu-
dents. They. have used it so often
that administrations now take spe-
cial care to see that there are no
grounds for friction between’ faculty
and students immediately preceding
the examinations.
Because of the increasing nuisance
caused by’ skunks in the vicinity of
State College, Pennsylvania, the
State Game Commissioners have ruled
that students may kill the animals
without the necessity of a hunting

provision had to be made to pipe oxy-

tanks. The supply needed for the men
and for the engines amounted to three
thousand liters. The exceeding pres-

altitude jingling coins make no

_ perceptible noise, so. that arrange-

were necessarily more complicated.
Also, at this height, serious difficul-
ties were encountered in regulating
temperature, which ran usually from
80 to 50 degrees below zero. The
men’s suits, gloves, boots, and goggles’
had.to be kept heated by an intricate
system—of~-wires;~ the “oxygen pipes
had to be kept warm lest water freez-
ing in the pipes should stop the sup-
ply, and the cameras had to’ be heat-
ed at an even temperature to - pre-
vent the films and rubberized shut-
ters from cracking and to keep the
metals in the machines from contract-
ing unevenly with the cold,
After-much-experimenting’ with the
equipment, and scientific tests applied
to men and machines to see if they
could stand the extremes of tempera-
tures and pressure they would encoun-
ter in their flight, the members of the
expedition had to bide their time for
the flight. Among the party were
included the excellent pilots,, McIn-
tyre and Clydesdale, who in order
that the photographers, Bonnet and
Fisher, might get a straight survey
strip of photographs to map the-ter- :
ritory | covered in the flight, had--to
fly apart and fhen close in as they
came toward the peak—all this in-dif-
ficult flying conditions.
Finally, however, the meteorolo-
gists forecast fairly good flying
weather for April 2: the wind was
blowing only about 55 miles an hour.
The members of the expedition rose
early so that they might get into the
‘air by eight or ten A. M. when there
are comparatively few clouds te ob-:
scure photographs. The observer and
pilot in each plane put on their heat-
ed suits, adjusted their telephone,
their test mikes, their masks, their
oxygen pipes and closed the cockpits
preparatory to taking off. As they
rose above the checkered plains of
Nepal the dust haze made the fields
drift away beneath them, dissolving
-nto a purplish monochrome with no
horizon visible, ‘The snowline passed
at-18,000-feet,-and“at 19,000 feet they
suddenly emerged from the dust haze
to see the great Kinchinjunga loom-
ing before them, rising sheer white
in the dark blue basin of the sky,
while to the left Everest rose high
ubove the foothills, flanked by Maka-
lu and the sweep of peaks all twenty
to twenty-five thousand feet in
height. .
Beyond Kinchinjunga, Everest, fly-
ing-a white snow plume sometimes” as
long as 20 miles, rose sharp in front
of the plane. But first they had to
fly Makalu, during which an oxygen
pipe broke and the pilot had to repair
it temporarily with his handkerchief.
They flew the remaining seven or
eight: miles to the peak of Everest,
passing above the pyramidal summit
from the snow-covered southeastern
. side, never seen before, to the barren
north side.
The excitement of achieving their
goal -was short-lived, however. They
had little spare time to appreciate
the breath-taking beauty of the sum-
mit while they were passing over it,
and, further, they were anxious con-
cerning thgir photographs. These
not only constituted the explorers’
sole . proofe& cheir achievement, but
also were to represent the contribu-
lion of the expedition to scientific
knowledge; and if they were not suic-
cessful the expedition had really
failed.
When the films were developed they
found that many of them were spoil-
ed, thereby leaving their records of
the territory patched and fragmen-
tary at most.- So the men were in-
sistent upon making a second flight.

Book Review
“The Cadaver of Gideon Wyck by a
Medical Student and edited by Alexander
Laing. Farrar and Rinehart.
There is something in the huntan
character,
by the advertising gagsters, which
makes us tackle anything that we are
told we probabiy can’t take. For this
reason we lost no time in buying the
volume mentioned above when we
were confrontéd one morning by an
announcement in the~/'vibune that
the publishers considered the story so
unfortunaiely discovered
powerful that they advised all ner-
vous people to stay away from it and
disclaimed all responsibility for any
deaths resulting from the perusal of
said volume. The notice ended up
with the stirring words ‘“—and the
publishers reaiiy mean-this.”
Braced for the worst we plunged
into the volume and were soon grop-
ing around in a Maine State College
of Medicine where monkey business
Was going.on in every quarter. We
found ourself in the middle of a mass
of demonologists, maniacs, embalmed
corpses of unknown and known iden-
tity human, monsters, epileptics, and
prostitutes, who amused. themselves
harmlessly by indulging in murders,
disappearances, and even love, al-
though it was forced into a subordi-
nate position. Like most authors who
rely on the accumulation of horrors
for their effect; the medical student
is pretty hard put to it to« explain
how it all happened, and consequently
he ends tp in a rather feeble vein.
The book’ is not-half as horrifying
as one would expect from all the
warnings, and being prepared to be
made. into a jittering biddie afraid
of the dark by the eyil deeds related
therein we were annoyed and defiant
when we followed the last monster to
its grave and found ourselves only
too ready to brave the dimly lighted |
halls without having the images of |
demented scientists
from the tea pantry.

Tt would have
been hard to live up to our expecta-
tions, however, and there are those

A i of Simple Folk by Sean O?Faolain
This is undoubtedly one of the finest
novels of recent years. It is not, as
its inadequate title implies, a’ tale
dcpressingly close to the soil, nor does
it describe village life, too quiet, too
slow and confined; it is neither senti-
mental nor whimsical—but a large
and splendid canvas, simple and °easy
in design, filled in. with rich compli-
cation of detail. It is the story of
thrve gencrations in an Irish family,.
its principal’ motif: the life of ‘the
family rebel, a futile, ironical, satis-
factory life; and no Irish book for
years has given so complete and true
an impression of Ireland—beside this
Twenty Years A-Growing scems thin
and puerile.
The mangement of great scenes is
essentially poetic, gloriously romantic
in the manner of Dostoevsky -— best
of all perhaps is the scene of the
4 making of the will, with the crowding
relatives, the sick man trying to die,
the drunken doctor, the wife holding
the lawyer by the wrist, restraining
her sons, and fiercely whispering in
the dying man’s ear. Equally sensi-
tive, equally’ poetic, is the use of
smallef detail—Johno hears his aunt
crying and praying all night in the
next room, and in the morning she
is her usual self, and he has forgotten
about it.
The style is perhaps the finest thing
in the book, clear and vivid and sin-
cere, at its best in the paragraphs
which describe the passage of a long
stretch of' time, with its detail skill-
fully implied, or in the descriptions
of the Irish landscape, the grey bright
cities or the water-logged silent coun-
tryside. ae

Deep Country by Amory Hare
Mrs. Hare set out to write a novel
of the hunting country °around_Phil-
adelphia in which she might extol the
pleasure of the great outdoors and
at the same time deal with the rami-
fications of. life and—love -as-itis
among the people who ride to hounds,
and provide the raison d’etre for such
publications’ as Polo and Town and
Country. The result was Deep
Country, in which we have all the
sporting events imaginable very well
described and accurately reproduced
with both the triumphs and tragedies
of the competitors faithfully recount-
ed. But the real plot of the story
hinges around two young things who
have the misfortune to be in love with
each other but who are so deprived
of all ability to make that fact clear
by their mad desire to do everything
in the manner of high typed ‘sporting
folk that they both go off in a com-
plete fog and marry different .people.
The fun begins almost as soon as the
two coufiles get settled in the Phila-
delphia vicinity, and in spite of all
they can do to check the hounds the
scent leads the gossip mongers to a
studio in town where there is a re-
treat for the stricken lovers.
The story pursues its way through
steeplechasing and hunting to. the
fatal evening. when the -wife- of -the
perfect Killy jumps over a_ terrace
wall in a vage and dies, but not be-
fore accusing the poor beloved of her
husband of having pushed her. That,
of course, disposes of one of the ex-
traneous helpmates and the other
gets uppity about the whole thing
(not being a true sportsman, but ‘the
son of a successful real estate mag-
nate) and gets a divorce, thereby
clearing the air for the happy end-
ing. The people in the story are very
much the cream of the crop—the hero
goes to Yale in the beginning, strokes
the crew to victory over Harvard,
while the heroine daughter of the
M. F. H. looks on waving a blue and
white pennant. Our hero then goes
off to Paris to study art, being driven
there by a realization that he has no
right to declare his love for- the beau-
tiful daneter: of a M. F, _ until
he has made a name for himself. ‘We
would have been.spared—a—great-déal
of trouble, and .we must admit-pleas-
ure, if he had transgressed foxhunt-
ing formalities sufficiently before leav-
ing- to. -whisper--in-the-heroine’s -ear
that he loved her, but -he-didn’t,
There are many grand hunting
scenes in the book and it is -highly
recommended for all those who like
a. good story guilelessly told. The
sporting sequences are well worth the
space devoted to them, and Mrs. Hare
shows a familiarity with horses and
the people who care for them-in the
stables which gives to the book a
pleasant. atmosphere of authenticity.
However, she sometimes goes off the
deep end in an attempt to make her
characters do the right thing all,the
time. Poor /Killy is drawn into the
matrimonial’ net quite against his Will
because he gets lost in: the hunting
field in a snow storm, is unable to
find his way home, and has to spend
the night in an unheated house with
a girl who is also lost. In spite of
the fact that it was obviously an acci-
dent, that it was ten below zero, and
that Killy’s grey hunter was in the
house all night in somewhat the ca-
pacity of a chaperone, Killy marries
her because: he feels he should. That
seems-to us_to be drawing-it-a-—little
bit too fine.
However, Deep Country is far from
dull reading and doubtless will find
favor in the eyes of many who do
not know hocks from withers. Those
who have mastered the subtle distinc-
tion will enjoy themselves immensely
throughout the entire book.—S. J.
LETTERS
(The editor of the NEWS is not
responsible for opinions expressed in
this column.)
To the editor of the Bryn Mawr Col-
lege News,
Bryn Mawr College,
Bryn Mawr, ‘Pa.
Dear Editor:
It has come to my attention during
the past twenty-four hours that the
News: is contemplating. publication of
an~editorial with which Ido nof find °
it in my heart of hearts to agree.
As it is a well-known fact that the
value of the News rests in its policy
of expressing opinions characteristic
of the undergraduates, it seem to me
that the publication of the editorial
concerning the Bible shows that- the
majority of the News board is im-
pervious to public opinion. Finding
myself at present in the position of
one oppressed by the college require-
ment which makes necessary a com-
plete knowledge of the facts of life
and diet, not to speak of complexes,
I feel especially bitter on the subject
of compulsory addenda to the ordi-
nary curriculum. There are enough
obstacles in the path of the under-
graduate without the wanton addition
of a Bible to our already 6ver-crowded
window seat.
In connection with the inclusion. of
a compulsory Bible examination in
the college curriculum, allow me to
draw the attention of the Board to a
significant document, known in his-
tory as the Rights of Man. That
document has been referred to in this
column before in connection with the
barbaric proposal of the editor to
make subscription to the News com-
pulsory. For a complete expression
of our opinions concerning the editor
of your publication, allow me to re-
fer you to the letters written by
“Bugs,” in the spring of last year, as
a representative of the Merion Hunt
Club. From them you will. gather
that I do not find myself in agree-
ment with the policy of your editor.
In conclusion I wish to suggest to the
college that the editor of your News
be impeached as one derelict in duty,
and finally may I wish you Happy
Valentine’s Day.
Affectionately yours,
SALLIE JONES.
