Hampton Quartet
Sings Spirituals
Religious, and Secular Negro

_ Music Shows Deep Feeling
. and Rich Harmony

SPEAK ABOUT HAMPTON







On Tuesday, February 16, the
Hampton Quartet gave Bryn Mawr
another delightful evening of Negro
songs. Their harmony is so remoy-~
ed from anything in European music
that one gets from hearing them a
pleasure completely new and fresh,
and not to be got from going into
Philadelphia any night to the opera or
the ‘symphony..

The greater part of the. program
consisted of spirituals. ‘Some of them,
like: “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” and
“All God’s Chillun Got Shoes,” were
as welcome because of their familiar-
ity as for their beauty; others which
were new to most of the audience
made one fairly sit up with delight
at the discovery of one harmony after
another as rich as any one of the old
favorites. The quartet sang several
secular melodies, including the unfor-
gettable “Water Boy,” “Mighty Lak’
A Rose,” “Juba,” which is not a
song, but,a recitation spoken rhythm-
ically to the accompaniment of their
hands beating against their sides.
“Juba” shows the rhythm inherent in
the Negro that makes even his speech
lyrical. “Mighty Lak’ A Rose,” which
has almost been done to death, took
on a new life. when it was sung by
its native people, and its exquisite
harmony shed a sense of peace and

silence over the audience that was not |.

broken for several seconds after the
song was finishd. The Hampton Quar-
tet has harmonized these songs to
bring out their essential qualities; the
participation of many voices in: Ne-
gro singing, and the uncontrolled feel-
ing “that drives the songs along like
the flow, of life-blood.

Between the groups on the pro-
gram, members of the Hampton In-
stitute told somethirig of its progress.
Hampton has grown in proportion to
“the general education of the Negro,
beginning as an elementary school,
then as schools were started, adding
two or three preparatory years, and
finally starting college work. This
is divided into 10 vocational courses
and all the graduates of Hampton
have been placed in jobs after gradu-
ation. Students may spend one pre-
liminary year .at some sort of work
to pay for their college course. Dur-
ing this year they go to-night school
and they have a chance to choose
work connected With their major
subject.

The program: “Roll, Jordan, Roll,”
“Who'll Join That Union,” “I Can’t
Turn Back, ” “Tl Heard From Heaven)
Today,” “Water Boy,” “All God’s
Chillun Got Shoes,” “Juba,” “Mighty:
’ Lak’ A Rose,” “Keep Hitchin’ Along,”
“Until I Reach My Home,” “Were
You There When They Crucified My
Lord,” “Swing Low Sweet Chariot,”
“foshua Fought the Battle of Jeri-
cho.””.

Watchman Sees Ghost
in Taylor Corridor

Tells He Learned in Ireland
That Spirits Materialize for
Some People



SEVERAL HAUNT CAMPUS!



One of the most conspicuous and
well-liked figures in the college cam-
“pus is Joe Graham, the night watch-
man.. We personally have always
wondered what a night watchman
thinks about as he makes his rounds
in the wee small hours. A few nights
ago Joe stepped-into the smoking
room to warm up a bit, and we real-
ized that: our chance had come. Joe

ity, we asked questions to our
heart’s content. By far, the most ex-
citing thing Joe had to tell us was
that he had only a few nights ago
seen a ghost in the dim corridors of
Taylor. We were fascinated! It
seems that Joe has studied the ‘prob-
lems of spiritualism pretty thorough-
ily (he recommends to any who are
interested a book of Sir William
_Lodge’s,.in.the library), and,-although
he was brought up a staunch Presby-
terian, he has gone over to the spir-
itualist church. He ‘was generous
with examples of actual experiences.
There was, for instance, this ghost in
Taylor. Joe doesn’t quite understand
why. she should have appeared to him,
as she was no, one he knew at all, but
he thinks it was perhaps because ‘She
happened to have the power of “ma-
terializing” just then. She was.young
and wore a red silk bandana on her
head. . We asked at once how Joe
knew: she was a ghost, and he replied

sO

only they appear.and_ disappear right
before you. At materializing seances
Joe has seen and talked to spirits,
and he reports that you can stretch
out your hand and touch them, and
they -feel “very nearly like real peo-
ple.” Oftentimes at night he has
seen men and even women on the cam-
pus that he took at first for real’peo-
ple; they walk right into bushes and
trees, but when you look behind the
bush there is no one there. —

Joe has seen spirits ever since he
was a boy in Ireland, and his father
did before him. He tells that once
when he first came to Ameri¢a he met’
his old grandmother that he knew
was still in the old country. Realiz-
ine that she was a ghost, he was

Change Proposed in Policy
of Room Rents Next Year



Speaking in chapel Thursday morn-
ing, President Park outlined the pol-
icy which the College intends to fol-
low in the matter of room rents for
next year. This policy is of neces-
sity closely: linked with that of the

finances of the Colleges as a whole. |

Bryn Mawr derives its income from
two sources: interest on its invest-
ments and endowments, and tuition,
which is used solely. to support the
academic ‘side of the College; and
board and room rent. The board
rent goes directly into food and serv-
ice, while the room rent is devoted
to the maintenance of the halls, an
item which increases yearly, for, as
the buildings age, more repairs are
needed. ._In order for the College to
maintain’ financial stability, the in-
come from the room rents. must bal-
ance the expenditures. This year the
problem is made more difficult, for
while the outgo has remained stable,
the college income has necessarily de-
creased due to the financial depres-
sion. On the other hand, the college
wishes to keep the cost of rooms down
for as many students as_ possible.
The aim of the college is to steer a

‘middle course.

Bryn Mawi, in accordance with the
policy. of all. endowed. colleges, has
never asked the students to pay the
full cost of tuition. Over half of this
cost is met by the endowment fund.
However, many students need more
aid than is provided by this cut in
tuition. There are three ways in
which the college may render. such
aid; scholarships, remission of tuition
for present Juniors, and inexpensive
rooms. In order. to meet the increas-
ing demand for inexpensive rooms
and give aid to as many ‘students as
possible, the college has adopted a
new system of room rents. Instead
of the present.75 scholarship rooms at
| $75, the number will be raised to 100,
and the price increased correspond-
ingly to $100. These rooms are re-
stricted to students on scholarships

ATTENDANCE VERY POOR





Miss Grant’s well-trained sextet
still remains unbeaten. The big vic-
tory over Drexel on Friday afternoon
proves the quiet efficiency of the Bryn
Mawr team. Longacre’s fear of the
Drexel center, whom rumor had whis-
pered was a famous. high-jumper,
proved #roundless—as Gertie’s qui
er timing gave her the sump evgry
time.

In the first few minutes of the
game Boyd missed an easy close-in
shot, only to place the_ ball through
the rim on a quick pass from Collier.
Two neatly placed shots by Brooks
gave Drexel a lead which was at once
lost when Boyd’s back twists dropped
two more balls in the basket for a
score of 6-3 in our favor. Bryn
Mawr’s quick, clever pass work was
the only thing which relieved the
monotony of an otherwise all too easy
game. The first basket of the second

quarter was the result of"a pretty |~

pass from* Longacre to Remington,
who, avoiding her guard’ on a neat
pivot, threw the ball to Boyd directly
beneath the basket: On a fake pass
to Collier‘ to avoid her guard, Boyd
banked the ball into the basket. The
half ended with a score of 17-7 in
favor of Bryn Mawr. _

The second half was a repetition
of the first. Great credit should go
to the guards for their splendid work
in intercepting long passes and break-

Marriage Questionnaires Bring
Surprising Conservatism in Student Body

to Light



of Marriage

Seniors and Juniors Exactly Opposed it in Ambition Attitudes—
Characterizes Both—Disagree on Compatibility

and Career



MAJORITY. FAVOURS

MARRIAGE HEAVILY |



Approximately 62 per cent. of the
graduate, and undergraduate bodies
‘responded to the questionnaire issued
by the-News February 10th, and on
this proportion -the statistics printed
elsewhere in this issue have been esti-
mated.

If 62 per cent. may be considered
a representative majority, the most
striking conclusion to be drawn is the

extreme conservatism of the Bryn
Mawr student body. For example,
83 per cent. prefer marriage to a

career, and 94 per cent. would place
marriage first in case of conflict. Trial
marriage is overwhelmingly opposed
by 91 per’ cent., and companionate
marriage,—defined as legal marriage
entered into with a view to perma-
nence, but with knowledge of birth
control, and with acceptance of di-
vorce by mutual consent where there
are no children—is- carried only by
a scant 5 per cent. majority:—
These figures do not ‘indicate so
much a narrow illiberalism or an ex-
cessive domesticity, as they point to
the reasoned acceptance of responsi-
bility and the recognition ofa mutual

Theology of ‘Paul’s:

Successors’ Discussed





Lake Reveals Dificilties
to Be Met by Early Chris-
tian. Church

OUR. RELATION TO PAUL

bn Monday night Dr. Kirsopp Lake
gave the third of the Flexner lectures,
which at the same time is“the last
address on the apostle Paul. The
title of the speech was “Paul’s Suc-
cessors,” and in it Dr, Lake showed
the relation of subsequent theologians
to the apostle.

Paul’s converts are theologically his
successors, and with the Corinthians
as examples we ¢an take up three of
the questions that bothered them in
their relation to the teaching of Paul.
The first question is the relation of

Dr.





teacher. Many of the Corinthians be-
lieved that the emotion gives the
spirit which is akin to God. This is
directly opposed to the Pauline prin-
ciple that the emotion without the
experience is merely intexication with
the same value as an alcoholic stimu-
Secondly, the converts were. un-
decided as to the proper attitude
toward sex. For them sex was sinful,
but those who had obtained the spirit
could do what they liked. Paul
claimed that conduct should not be
free to anyone because the presence
of the spirit led to good conduct, not
bad. Thirdly, the Corinthians wanted
to know the truth about immortal-
ity. They believed that, having ob-
tained the spirit, they were to become
immortal and nothing else mattered.
For Paul all-men-were immortal,-and
the point of issue was what would
be their position in the next world.

~Paul’s resurrection was not one of
flesh and blood, but it was a change
that each soul should undergo. As
the church thought that our bodies
were made of mud, it was a great
advantage to have a change of a
material kind. One reason that Paul’s
successors gave for believing in the
-fesurrection of the body was that ‘in
the course of justice it was not fair
that the-soul should be punished or
rewarded for the actions of the body
on this earth. The successors were
faced with the difficulty of what Dr.
Lake called “theological metabolism.”
If a cannibal eats a missionary, whose
flesh is it when ‘a of reckoning
e|comes?. This belief in the resurrec-



obligation. Although only 14 per cent-
would insist on being economically
self-supporting though married, and.
69 per cent. declare they would ae-
cept alimony—almost all of this lat-
ter group limit their acceptance to
conditions where adequate support of
their children is lacking.

Desertion and insanity are consid-_
ered grounds for divorce by 89 per
cent.; in other words, by almost allt
those who believe in divorce at all.
There are a few exceptions, where
one or the other is admitted by non-
believers in divorce, and denied, espe-
cially insanity, by others who sup-
port divorce in general. Only 72 per
cent. of the Junior class, for exam-
ple, would grant a divorce for insani- —
ty, while 80 per cent. find just cause
in alcoholism. On the whole, how~
ever, opinion is fairly unanimous,

While such contingencies as deser-
tion and drinking may perhaps be in-

terpreted as-acts of God, where the
mutual physical. and emotional ele
ment, that is, the personal quality,
enters, the: figures, though they
change very ‘little, become more sig-
nificant taken in conjunction with
those emphasizing companionship.

Seventy-nine per cent. find sufficient
grounds in incompatibility, while 30
per cent. condone infidelity, and 20
per cent. are willing to retain aleo-
holic husbands.

The preponderance of the element
of ‘companionship over the physica!
as the basis of marriage, though to
a—certain extent—counterbalanced— by
the 83 per cent. who would marry a
poor man they loved, is. supported by
the fact that 91 per cent., in voting
for occasional leaves of absence, real-
ize that each partner is entitled to a
distinct cultivation of his and her
own personality. These two percent-
ages, coupled with an almost unani-
mous demand for the single standard,
illustrate a conception of love and
marriage materially different from the
romantic idealism which once shroud--
ed the marital state.

Also, contrary to expectation, the
Bryn Mawr girl votes by only 17 per
cent. for a college educated husband.
The remaining 83 per cent. qualifies
the vote heavily by demanding equiv-
alent intellectual power—several in-
sist that the non-college man be an
artist, one that he be a musician.

Dr. Kirsopp Lake Speaks on
Changed Conception of God

In\the Common Room Sunday eve-
ning Dr. Kirsopp Lake took charge
of a general discussion group. The
two religious problems of greatest im-
terest to the. present generation are
the new conceptions of God and Im-
mortality. The modern conception of
God is philosophical rather than theo-
logical. He is thought of as a “total-
ity of value,” rather than an omnipo-
tent, superhuman being; who created —
the world from absolute chaos and has.
held himself responsible for the or-
dering of it ever since: There isa,
theory ‘which holds that there are two
kinds of reality, values and phenom-
ena,—those material things which we
see and feel. - Values are in.a sense
“universal existences,” those qualities
which give objects their own peculiar
characteristics. Truth and beauty are
examples of values. Secondly, there



is increasing lack of concern about

immortality, if it is defined as a pres-
ervation of reality,—an actual, ideal —-
existence in the future. The reason
for this is that people no longer have
a fear of death, since they have ceas-

The bright red mist

which has surrounded us has now been partly pushed aside and a glimpse of

the Bryn Mawr girl can be obtained.

She arises, in her sixty-two percent

perfection, to prove that the Bryn Mawr radical is only a myth and is likely
to become a legend. The “composite student has stated her views on the
fundamental problem of marriage, showing a conservatism as marked as the
radicalism of which she has been accused. .

Skeptics have only to look at the facts brought out in the News marriage
questionnaire to see the strong conservative tendency. We have been prom-

ised by both gloomy.and cheerful prophets that the break

many Bryn Mawr undrgraduates prefer marriage to.a career and how many
more would give up the latter if the two conflicted.

The conclusions. which our average girl has reached are not particularly’
reactionary. Her conservatism is based on convention and expediency, but

it is not unreasonable.

She thas decided definitely against Victorian double

standards for men and women, because experience has shown her the same
standards are desirable for complete compatibility. She has shown little sign
of selfishness in her reactions to the situations she was asked to consider.
In spite of talk about the complete emancipation of woman she is determined
to have a fairly large family, and to devoté"hérself to domesticity.

All of these things show that she has given a great deal of thought. to

the more serious problems which may arise from marriage.

We are able to present our own small proof that the pendulum is
swinging back arid ‘that the young people of tgday have not. been carried
away. by every phrase and catchword of the time. We at college are neither
flaming youth nor young people who flaunt radical ideas for the express
purpose of shocking our elders. We have admitted our belief in the wisdom
. of many theories corhmonly called conservative, and we have departed from
others only after considering all. the elements involved. We urge those
interested in Bryn Mawr to study the statistics and draw their own con-

clusions.



Dog’s Life
(Submitted in news competition)

The time has come to reconsider the present ban on dogs in the light
of the abnormal anti-civilization rising from the ashes of our smoking rooms.
Of an early*morning pale haggard faces gleam through the dank smoke; at
midday even the faces are completely obscured when the dawn breaks the
last survivor bears the vanquished from the field, leaving the smoke tri-
umphant. Her mania for work has driven the undergraduate to this plight.
As she toils over the Life of Dionysius in Greek with Latin footnotes, her
despair at thus frittering away the precious hours of her life in idle pleasures,
induces a vicious craving for a cigarette. Once she has gained the smoking
room, she dares not waste the fleeting seconds by returning to her room, so
there she stays and works till oblivion overcomes her in this.den ot vice...

A dog would provide the obvious remedy. He holds no time of the
day or night sacred when he wants a walk, text-books are the main staple of
his daily diet, and he certainly does not thrive on smoke. The faculty will
assure us that dog-fights provide a healthy satisfaction for the primitively
savage instincts, and are an excellent excuse for hysterical quarrels and mur-

dering your worst enemy.

and will be assigned by the college
arbitrarily: There will also be 45

rooms at $200, which will be assigned
similarly. Besides these, 30 rooms

will be kept at $250; these will not
be restricted, but are tintended to
provide for students who‘do not need
aid, but who must limit expenses.
In this way the college hopes to .aid
one-third of the students, where it. can
aid only one-seventh under the pres-
ent system. There will be no increase
over $30 on the remaining rooms in
the halls, and some rents will be re-
duced.

provision will be made for those need-
ing lower rents next year. Thus
there will be relatively little change
in rents; a slight increase in the mini-
mum rate is being made in order to
place one-half the total rooms at a
lower rate. Miss Park éspecially re-
quests all students not in need of

financial assistance to choose rooms
outside the area reserved by the col-
lege. All those in need of assistance
should see Miss Ward.

(Specially Contributed in the News
Competition.)

What is more exciting (we always
think) than an army of females in
the first flush of youth (well, almost)
marching to the tune of “Soldier Boy,
Soldier Boy, Whe-ere Are You Go-
ing?” One night, not so long ago,
we were surprised: and oh so pleased
to hear the stirring strains of “Sol-
dier Boy” outside Pembroke; natur-

ally curious, we stuck our head out
and discovered, marching up the road
in as pretty formation as you would
care to see, four embry® ‘fighters,
turning imaginery corners, and say-
ing, “Harch,” instead of “March,” in
their professional Way. We were stir-
red and pulled our head in quickly to
avoid catching cold.

We mentioned it afterwards to sev-
eral people and added carelessly that
an army, or ‘at least a regiment,
would be an asset for Bryn Mawr-
publicity-getting, vigor-making, body-
building. But since they took the
suggestion as just another warmed-
over gag to rouse them from that mid-
week fog, we gave up, after a short
and futile while, firmly convinced
that we needed some advance public-
ity to break the ground.

We may as well admit, deep down
in its heart, the NEWS has no use
for us and our rough ideas, frowns
on it in fact as going against their
policy of World Peace and Disarm
Before You. Blow Up—which, we can
tell you, will come to no good end. But
nothing was ever done without Cour-
age, unflinching—Courage, and we’ve
got an awful lot.

All you need, comrades and mates,
is imagination. In the first ‘place, we
want you to visualize the sheer beau-
ty of it. See in your mind’s eye four
hundred (five hundred with the grads,
faculty children, and Teddy Manning)
marching over Merion Green, round
and round, eternally grounding and
presenting arms, beating the grass to
a muddy pulp with hob-nailed VWoots,
while the Village Band spiritedly too-
tles—“Soldier Boy” and “Three Blind
Mice.” :

But the Arms motif. plus martial
music is not our only bait for the
Youth of Bryn Mawr—in fact only
the abstract. part of the scheme. The
details are tremendous—simply tre-
mendous—yellow and white uniforms
with gilt hairbrushes on the. shoul-
ders, shakoes for generals and, Major-
generals with clean collars -every
week thrown in: (Let the privates go
dirty is our feeling, and if they: kick
they can all be generals). At- least
the whole army, if not actually -anti-
septic, can look it- by wearing long
cape-eoats of a dubious yellow.

Thé real percentage in having these
coats is that ‘they will give Bryn
Mawr a certain charm for all the
men’s colleges for hundreds of miles
in-any direction. ~ Week-end dances—:
even those tea dances—will be mob-
ved by New Haven and Princeton,
mad to get a Bryn Mawr armyeoat.

tily around His home| campus.

But think it over. Far be it from
us té rush a whole campus into dan-
gcrous, suspicion-rousing prepara-
tions for war. Remember all these
arguments though and see if they
don’t appeal to some vital drop of
blood in the body. (If they do, don’t
omit to put yes and no on our ques-
tionnaire—“Is Bryn Mawr A: Land of
the Free and A Home of the Brave?’’)

Theology of “Paul’s ae
' Successors” Discussed



tion of the flesh, however, lasted till
the Nineteenth century, when the
modern reversion is nearer to the
Pauline point of view.

The later writers of the Gospel of
Luke and the Acts did most to change

the position of Paul in history. Luke °*

omits all suggestion that the Chris-
tian had troubles..due to not wholly
high conduct, and he leaves out all
reference to the mystical experience
of Paul. This is a step on toward
the subsequent emphasis on the emo-
tion ‘rather than the experience of
the mystic. To the writer of the Acts
the spirit was the gift of God to the
Christians in order that they should
be guided: Thus he attached great
importance to the ceremony of bap-
tism.

Twenty years later the Gospel of
John identifies Jesus with the Logos
of Greek theology. Here we have
the first absolutely Catholic atmos-~
phere of having to be .\born through
baptism in order to inherit the eternal
life. From here on there are two
branches—the Catholic Christianity
and Gnosticism. The gnostic claims
that what ‘saves you is knowledge.
They were ‘the first to face the prob-

lem of. why--we need salvation. This

goes back to the tragedy of the crea-

tion of the world . There was first a

divine being: consisting in a series of
eight-attributes. Wisdom would not
keep in her: place in the series, and
when she was thrown back into it
the strength of the throw sent her
out into space. The shock and the
emotion to ‘which this gave rise was
the cause of} either the creator or the
creation. Thus creation is the result
of one ill-advised act of one portion
of the diviné\ being.. The remaining
portions took pity on the plight of
wisdom and stretched: out aver the
limitation in the form of Christ. Thus
was obtained the redemption of wis-

.;dom and the spiritual part of crea-

tion which the Gnostics identified with
themselves. The Gnostics constructed
a myth out of scientific phraseology.

~The point of view between the two
extremes of Gnosticism and Catholi-
cism is that of Marcion. The creator
is a God of Justice who created His
own earth and punished the people
on it who did not live up to his
standards. Matters got -worse and
worse, until finally the supreme God
took pity on the inhabitants of the
earth and seft the stranger Jesus to
After having put Jesus

nized his mistake, and his eyes were
opened. Thus the God of Mercy
bought out the whole new face.

The Catholic Church objected , to
both these theories, but as a result
of them it adopted four gospels and
the-OldTestament. In this casé, .as

usually, the decision of the church
Lrepresents the triumph of common

sense over nonsense. It is our popu-
lar practice to feel that the inherited
theology is not true and so explain it
away. We, the ultimate successors
of Paul, are faced by the same prob-
lems. |

One way that a person like-myself
can stand in relation to Paul, said
Dr. Lake, is to believe that the ex-—
perience in life called religion - is
worth having. It is not right to
throw away the facts because we do
not believe the explanation. If the
modern church does not produce an
explanation that will satisfy, history
will repeat itself. The question_for
the coming generation is not whether
to keep religion, but whether to call.
it religion and where to express it.



“Jealousy_may. be disposed of by
listening to the prelude of the Meis-
tersingers,” said Dr. A. M. Ornsteen,
associate in neurology and electro-
therapeutics at Pennsylvania. “In-.
deed, many ills may. be soothed by
music, so that perhaps we may /find
such people’ as Medical Musicians.”

afraid and ran away. “I wouldn’t be
afraid now.” We didn’t know that

we could say as much, as we were
already. alittle dismayed at the idea
that one df more disembodied spirits
were: probably leaning over our shoul-
der at. that moment, but we asked
where else Joe had seen ghosts. He
smiled and said that he didn’t like to
say because he didn’t like to frighten
anybody, “but there’s spirits every-
where.”- This only increased our ner-
vousness, but we pressed our question.
Joe admitted that there was sometimes
a slight cause for terror; there was
the time the spirit had played a joke
on him and the other night watchnian
in Taylor.: After a little coaxing he
divulged the story. It seems that the
two of them were sitting one night in
the basement of the building, when

_ | they heard the noise of a man falling

down the stairs right outside their
Both of them heard it and
sprang to their feet. They opened

the door at once, and there was noth-’

ing there to be seen. “And,” said
Joe, calmly, “it was only a spirit play-
ing a joke.” -We wonder at his cour-
age.

- Joe told us more about spirits he
had seen, on the campus, at seances,
and back in Iréland. A skeptic ask-
ed why it was that all of us couldn’t
see these materializations of which
Joe had so often been a witness. The
reply camé with amazing swiftness
and was, we think, the answer par
excellence. “Ah,” and Joe-smiled be-
nignly at the doubting Thomas, “some
can write poetry’ and some cannot.”
He explained a bit about |the method
of materializing: it seenis*that a sub-
stance known as ectoplasm emanates
from the body of the” medium, when
she is in a trance. This has been pho-
tographed, and Joe describes it as a

-j/luminous white mist that issues from

the mouth and eyes and arm-pits of
the medium. This substance is used

-|by the spirit to make itself visible:
- | out of it, the old body (when possible)

is created in image. As we have
said, Joe has seen, spoken to, and
touched these spirits, and while he
does admit a slight difference to ex-
ist between the spirit materialized
and a living body, he cannot put his
finger on it. He spoke of the passage

. {in the New Testament where Christ,
. |arisen from the tomb, meets his apos-
.|tles on the road, and they fail to rec-
. |ognize him. This was, Joe explained,

because of the fact that when He
materialized, He took the power from
a gardener He met, and therefore
He did--not-|
arise in body, for the idea that a
freed spirit should use its old body
is as ridiculous as one’s wearing an
cast-off garment. “Now what use
will I have for this,” pointing to that
great. overcoat of his that looks as
permanent as the abiding hills, “next
year, or maybe two years from now.”
A spirit in the other world doesn’t
need a body. it’s no use to one. You
can’t hide what you’re really jike
from the dead. If you’re good, you
look it, and. if you’re bad everyone
knows it. It isn’t true that only bad |
spirits haunt the earth. It’s. more
likely to be the happy ones, for the
bad ones want to hide from those
they’ve wronged. They’re ashamed
and miserable for a long while, but
not forever—for the way. of salvation
is closed to no human soul.” And
then we knew Joe wasn’t a good Pres-
byterian.

ed to ‘believe in the rigid distinetion
hatween Heaven and Hell and the fi-
aality of the Last Judgment. They
deny the divine authority of the Reve-
lations and feel that no one can know
‘what follows after death. A’ new
(modern) conception of immortality,
which is growing in popularity, is also
philosophical in content. This is the
belief that death is loss of: individual-
ity and a fusion with the whole of
humanity.

The question of values aroused the
greatest interest in the discussion
which followed Dr. Lake’s brief in-
troductory remarks. The important
thing in Dr. Lake’s opinion, however,
is to attain, through careful thought,
‘a sense of values for the achievement
of right conduct. People were for-

“ merly forced to believe in a personal
God in order to have guidance in liv-
ing clean, straightforward lives. Dr.
Lake believes that a code of ethics
is gradually going to-supersede Chris-
tianity. Churches will continue to ex-



list only in so far as they encourage

‘meetings for the discussion of val-
‘ues. The new ethics will be built up
from observation and experiment, as

Surprising Conservatism

classes, are peculiarly noticeable, and
though they may or may not be sig-
nificant, they contain some food for

meditation. Pem East stands 100 per
cent. for the primary interest, value,
and importance of marriage as op-
posed to a career, and is next to the
lowest in its urge for economic inde-
pendence. It has the lowest record
for divorce (79 per cent.), though 89
per cent. would resent being desert-
ed; ‘somewhat contradictorily they
yield first place for alimony to Rock,
whose mercenary character seems
borne out by the startling 39 per
cent. who prefer wealthy tranquility
to exhilerating but impoverished ro-
marice. Pem East and Denbigh op-
pose their families’ wishes only 60
per cent., in contrast to Merion’s 81

own: future families, prefer 1-10 of a
boy and 1-10 of a girl over every
other hall. Rock alone prefers girls
to boys, the general order being 2-1
for the masculine sex.. In the answers
to this question several enterprising
individuals made a bid for fame: one
who announced that she wanted ‘20
children; 10-boys and 10 girls,” and
one who wants “4 boys—twins twice
—and a girl.” Rock has also the
unique distinction of refusing to mar-
ry a younger man, and Pem West

Class Statistics

It was expected at first that the
class figures would show a smoothly
increasing line of develophients, but
this has not proved to be the case.
We admit we had anticipated the
largest number of careerists, to fall
among the Freshmen, and decrease
every year, on the assumption that
only a few women are pre-eminently
fitted exclusively for careers—a fact
they would ultimately come to ree-





get married, 95 per cent. voted that

ognize. As it stands, however, the
Freshmen and Sophomores fall mid-
way between the Seniors and Jun-
iors, whose opinions are in many
cases almost diametrically opposed.

The Senior class is on the surface
the least conservative, as the Juniors
are the most, and in explanation of
this an argument may be drawn bas-
ed on the-fact that the Seniors are
the greatest: believers in a certain
compatibility between marriage and
a career. 1932 undoubtedly wants to

general trend of thé Senior class.

seeing her framed against the wood-
work and in high fur collars, however
- much a halo may suit her type of

Great pains have been sini with
the minor characters, suchas” the
bone gambler and the missionary, and,
although some of the types may seem
exaggerated—the respectable lady
with the lap dog, for example—an
effort has been made to give them a
life of their own and make them more
than fillers. Yes, Mr. von Sternberg
is an intelligent director. Often he
is brilliant, as when, instead of show-
ing us Marlene’s eyes turned heaven-
ward as she prays, he directs a shaft
of light onto her clasped hands.

The clock—in Chinese, as it were—
was another fortunate idea. Possibly
the beaming face of the Chinese mo-
torman as he stops the train to wait
for a cow to move ‘off the track is
our most vivid memory of ——
’ Express.”

Mr. von Sternberg always crowds
his screens, thus providing opportu-
nity for some very fine photography
and giving over the impression of
--really—watching-a~—slice—of~life:—In
the present case he has worked hard.
Soldiers — whose, it matters not —
coolies, newspaper vendors (of 1927
editions), all come and go throughout
the entire picture. The noise, too, is
constant; if it is not ‘the chugging
