Wall Painting Will Outlive

No Need.
“NOT. MUCH ,OF NOTE
“Art is something living, not some- |
thing - petrified,” * said. Dr. Ernest Diez
in chapel on Friday, February 24.
“In the New York Times of last Sun,
day,” continued Dr. Diez, “a _ young
French author, Maurois, wrote a very
amiable . and -justifying article. | Men-
tioning the fine arts of America, he said:
‘It is true that scupture and painting in
America will delight you less than archi-
tecture. But remember that in all the
ages the great artistic civilizations have |.

conclusion, though not quite compelling
because time has changed. Today Man-

scrapers, but it can do very well with-

¢ ene writings . of Plato are a baffling
maze of jest and earnest,” said Dr. Paul
Shorey -in-his lecture on: Plato on Friday
evening, February 24, in the chapel.
Many teachers of philosophy, Dr. Shorey
continued, say that undégraduates~ are
bored by Plato, and cannot be per-
suaded to read him.
It would be useless to “try to interest
stich students as find entertainment only
in the latest movie, or the current best
seller, or “Snappy - Stories ;” they should
go in for the physical sciences, and ‘avoid
the classics. But there aré those” who
are willing to concede that there is
something in Plato. They have behind
them the authority of all the best literary
critics in: the world.
Not Out of Style
The reading of Plato has not gone out
of fashion as so many. of the classics

“Bryn Mawr is well known now in
particularly in England,”
said Miss May Hermes, speaking in
chapel on” Wednesday, February 22. “Last
year under the C. I. E, five English stu-
-dents-came. here. to ‘visit, and there, have
been many other exchanges.
“The Cortifederation Internationale des
Etudiants, popularly known as the CI.
-E., was founded in 1919. There are now
thirty national federations} ‘comprising
over a million membérs, They study’
special problems and attempt to establish
friendly relations between the students of
different countries. There is an annual
Congress which takes plac€“in a differ-
ent coufitry each year, and this summer
will be in Paris.
“The American national federation is
one. of the latest. additions. It has four
main points: it plans to send 100 stu-
‘dents to Europe this summer, it provides
for’ international debating teams, is ar-
ranging a Congress next year with first-
rate speakers, and plans to receive foreign
students in America this, summer.”
Miss Hermes is at present with the
'N. S. F. A. at 218 Madison avenue, New
York, and is eager to interest American [
students in the travel schemes which are
arranged by the C. I. E. The particular
aim of these trips is not to give the stu-
dent a mere tourist’s point of view—

New Musical Invention
Is Simply an Old Stunt
The world’s latest sensation seems to
be the musical instrument which is
played by a mere wave of the hand. It
has created a great splash. Few of us
have escaped the great publicity given
in the last few months-to~this strange
device.
ere are some excerpts from a thrill-
ingly beautiful article sent ts about the
great sensation :
“The most astounding and advanced
demonstration of the forces which make

emy Of Music on ‘Thursday evening,

by actually drawing music from the air
in almost, unlimited volume. This will be

Dedication |
GLEE CLUB EXCELLS
| ~6' The dedication ofthe Organ in Good-
hart ‘Hall, Tuesday, February 20, was a
ceremony as impressive as so worthy a
cause demanded. The Music Room
looked well; a formal gathering in eve-
ning dress composed the audience, while
the Glee Club, in white dresses and
gowns, was massed behind the piano:
Miss Park opened the concert by a short
address, in’ which she spoke of the oppor-
introduced Clara Vail Brooks, 1897, who
has presented the organ in memory af
her father. Mrs. Brooks explained how
glad she was to make such a gift, as
the memory of music in college had
always been an-important -and Pleasant
one with her.
Mr, Alwyne spoke about the organ.
Tt was built, he said, in 1892, and is made-
throughout of fine Michigan pine, which
is almost impossible to get today. As it*
was originally intended for a, smaller
room, the Class of 1897 have presented
not only the installation, but such addi-
tions as were found necessary ‘to adapt.
it to the. Music. Room at Goodhart. The
organ will be used by the Music classes,
which in former years have been forced
to go in a body to the Church of the
Good” Shepherd. when they wanted to
hear or examine an organ, and perhaps
eventually for morning Chapel, and for
the informal musical evenings that will
now be revived with a new impetus.
The program was well chosen: and
varied. Mr. Willoughby’s first group of
pieces was more or 1é8s .qiiiet’ ‘and re-
strained; the second, including Bach and
Couperin, displayed the sweetness of the

tions gave scope to the organ’s power
and resonance, particularly Finlandia.
Mr. Alwyne’s performance .on’ the
piano realized the high expectations of
the audience. He was the’true master
of the program, as they realized, and
after his rendering of Debussy’s Pre-
lude in A Minor, they would not let him
alone until he consented to give an eny/

Music Service
New Vespers System Happily
Inaugurated with Organ
in Goodhart.
-The first of the long-waited musical
services, voted for last year, was led -by
M. R. Humphrey, ’29, in the Goodhart
Music Room at’ 5.30 on Sunday. : This
first musical service seemed on the whole
a most successful experiment - even
though it was only’ an unfortunately
small group that showed interest .in the’
inauguration of the new system. “It was
a very brief. and simple. service: one
prayer, a’ beautiful passage from Ecclesi-
several hymns, and some short organ
solos. Mr. Willoughby played the fol-
lowing: 1. Chorale , Prelude on the
hymn em “Rockingham,” by Sir Hubert
Parry. _ Prelude on .the “Passion
Chorale,” ee Bach. 3. Andante Cantabile
(from Quartet in = major), by Tschai-
kowsky. 4. March upon a Theme by
Handel, Guilmant.
Altogether it. was a very nice. way to
spend the end of . Sunday. afternoon ;
more people should have dragged them-
selvesfrom their desultory, bridge and
cigarettes. Gentle pleasant sounds, and
the sunset through the big window at the
end of the room, are infinitely preferable
to the harsh lights and seemingly end-
less sermons of chapel in Taylor.

BROTHERLY LOVE.
Two score and some seven years
; st by a process closely resembling
ntaneous combustion, there was
een in the State of Pennsylvania,
in a spot not so — the city of
Philadelphia an institittion of higher
learning for women, which was
known as Bryn Mawr College—and
the spot henceforth became known
as Bryn Mawr. Some six score and
more years previous to that occa-
sion a group of inspired gentlemen
had made an endeavor to found an
institution for men, at which intel-
lectual pursuit was to be one of the
- minor sports, in another idyllic spot
in the same Stae. Finding the cli-
mate not™very conducive to beer
drinking on the scale in which they
proposed. to’ indulge, said gentlemen
saw fit to remove their institution
into the adjoining State of “New
Jersey, thereby coming closer by
some miles to the better breweries
and to the north pole, to“which un-
fortunate freak of circumstances
alone is due the fact. that the fair
institutions of Princeton and Bryn
Mawr are not closer together than
they are. With the years, however,
. there has grown up ween the two

It was a clever class, and state
That it knew how to play.
And in this class a scheme was found
As many. schemes. there~ be,
Both good and bad, and weak and sound
And schemes of ‘low degree.
This scheme and class at first. were
friends
Until a thought was ied
And some-te-gain their private ends
Declared the scheme was mad,
This. scheme, they said, will brand our
class
As Jacking dignity,
And won’t it seem a little ‘crass
To certain faculty ?
And so they gave up their delight,
And’ went to work with pride.
The class recovered over ‘night—
The scheme it was that died.

. At an early age he
startled his teachers by his ability to
solve the tri¢kiest scientific problems. This
bent was coupled with a 9redilection for
music and art.” ‘
. This all sounded very ‘exciting. We
began to wonder what the Physics De-
partment thought about this’ “musical
instrument”. .whose fame is echoing
through the world.
Barnes Disagrees oe’
“When Dr; Barnes- was “asked. to €x-
press his views regarding Professor Leo
Theremin’sjnvention of “Music from the
Ether;” he said the ether, has nothing to
do with the music, and suggested* that
the following statement from Nature,
December 17, 1927, be published, as ‘it
clearly expresses the facts of the case.
“At te Savoy Hotel, Londdh, on De-
cember 10, a private demonstration of
a new musical instrument was given by
the inventor, Prof. Leo Theremin, of
the State Institute of Technica] Physics,
Leningrad. The apparatus, designed for
4 drawing injisic_trom-the-ether-solely. by 9
free movement of the hands in space,’
proved to be a loud ‘speaker connected |.
with a thermionic valve circuit which
aincluded a metal rod, the electrostatic
capacity of which is altered by the proxi-
mity of the performer’s hand, the whole
arrangement being. an application of the
‘|familiar ‘howling’ of a~ badly adjusted
broadcast receiving set when the hand is
brought near to the. tuning condensers.
The.intensity of the sounds is-controlled
by varying the position of.the other
hand in’ relation to a metal hoop, or
varying the pressure of the foot upon
what appeared to be a disc of carbon.
For notes near the middle of the musical
rscale, the hand is at a few inches ‘from
the rod and a change in this distance of
an inch or so alters the pitch of the note
by a tone, the whole range being ap-
parently about an octave. Faulty in-
tonation occurs, therefore, unless the per-
former judges accurately the required
distance from the rod for the desired
frequency of oscillation. Wide variation
ot tone quality was shown to be produci-
ble, but the demonstration waszlimited to
the performance of slow*vibrato_melody
only. Prof. Theremin’s apparatus is an
ingenous application of well-known elec-
trical effects,
possibilities of development as a, musical
instrument, though of SOMrN harmony
cannot be produced on it.’ -
Dr. Barnes said he would be: glad to
give a demonstration (tickets one’ cent
plus tax) with apparatus similar to that
used Prof. Theremin to any who
are interested. He has used it for many
years in his first-year course in Physics.
The method has been employed for years
by radio engineers.
We ourselves saw Dr. Barnes’ demon-
stration, and, though we are not in the
least musical, we achieved rather a good
imitation of a canary. Certainly we ad-
vise everyone to take advantage of the
demonstration in Dalton. A je

DR. SHOREY ON PLATO
solemn FROM, PAGE 1
of “the continual reading of Plato down
the ages is - imrheaswrable. «Even if. we
' do not’ realize it, We are constantly en-
tertaining Platonism in our reading, talk-
ing and “thinking. «
Vatiety of Appeal
The second cause of his influence, ahd»
also a cause of the distaste for ‘him, is
the variety of his appeal. There are so.
many. Plator, seal. suite hin tel =gee, and
opponents. He is. all things: to -all
readers: he appeals to ‘every side of our
composite nature, and. supremely to each.
—He~—has__but—one—-fault, that he is not
simple. His teaching is limited only ‘by
the mind of the’ recipient, —
The real Plato i is nothing in dispropor-
He is just
as real to one manas to another. As
Wilkes was not a Wilkesite, and Emer-
son not an Emérsonian, so Plato was not
a Platonist:’
/Much Satire and Irony
There is a happy blend of jest and
earnest in his art and writing, a com-
bination of humor and satire—verging
on caricature and Aristophanic comedy—
and deep, serious, significance. There are
those who find him extremély witty, and
others who see no wit there at all. Much
‘of his ‘humor consists of satire and irony ;
some of us object to this. The challenge
‘to present specimens of his wit: is ,em-
barrassing. At best it promotes the lan-
guid\ smile or forced laugh of the stu-
dents’ reaction to the professorial joke.
Much of his humor seems rather thin in
another language, many of his jests' are
net ~:>--~ *"“~yesome. ave_only. the ex-
cuse’ that any comic relief is better than
none—the only éxcuse for much profes-
sorial humor. (All through his lecture Dr.
Shorey read. passages from Plato which }
cannot be reproduced here because they
were of his own _translation,which—is
unavailable.)
Like Aristophanes -*
Plato has much in common with: Aris-
tophanes in the. huddling of jest on jest,
where, in -Aristophanes, as sometimes in
Shakespeare, the even rather
poor jokes.is overwhelming. Both, Plato
and Aristophanes adapt their language to
unheard of lengths. Plato refutes men’s
arguments by adopting their jargon and
translating their reasons into plain lan-
guage. The better things in his work
take much of their color from their con-
text. . But the -best. things are satires on
the current best sellers, on ‘the new
philosophies, new cults and theories.
: Spaced Pseudo-Science
. Plato makes use of both irony and
satire largely to expose the pretensions
of the: scientists and pseudo-scientists.
There is also. the humor of quiet narra-
tive and description, and the conventional
banter -of lively young men,.- A vein of
facetiousness plays on the subject mat-
ter and relieves the dialectic tone. There
is a tendency in the later dialogues to
overdo this, so that it becomes heavy... A
discussion of the meaning arid connota-
tions of the word irony could be almost
endless, but in Plato it means the pre-
tense of not understanding in .order’ to
lure on your opponent. J
The personal irony is strongest of all;
he cannot take quite seriously the follies
of: mankind. The chief source of this
irony is his perpetual challenge of lesser
mass of
=
pillows adding acolorful and almost pro-
seems to be to
seem to suffer no ill consequences.
values by a higher standard of work.
This higher spirit which results from the:
confrontation of man and the universe is
that of Plato himself. The intellectual
life of the Athens of his day was curi-
ously modérn, and his attitude toward the
science gnd pseudo-sciénce -has had an
abiding.typical influence With the ex-
ceptiofi -bf mathematics and a. little
astronomy, the sciences of his day were
pseudo, mere guesses. His: criticism of
these will always remain one of the chief
lessons to be derived from the dialogues,
Greatest as a Reasoner
To dwell too long on the “satiric and
ironic side of Plato would leave a false
impression, but the other side has been
treated so thoroughly- and so often that
it does not need emphasis. He is really
greatest as a reasoner, but as such, can
only be taught in the classroom. In
logic, rhetoric, social reform and many
other subjects he teaches us mcre than
any other man in the world, But the
abrupt juxtaposition of the two~ Plates
give an incongruity that his art knew how
to avoid. He passes beautifully, by per-
modiations from one suljject to
another.
His work ‘is baffling because of “its
very richness “and Variety. Some have
drawn only lessons of asceticism and
pessimism from him, but that is not his
true. teaching. His melanchely ‘reflection
mind, and calls forth the remark that
“there is nothing, indeed, in the agitations
of man’s little life that is “worth our

we must deal seriously with human life

stray creature who passes by is noisily

As far as can beobserved the prep-
arat‘ons are simple in. the extreme. A
diamond is clearly marked out with sofa

It is no mere feminine caprice- or

regular gloves, and a big league ball. Of

arrived at. The fielders form a chain
gang and relay the ball in. The rule
have two if not three
catchers, as there is no back-stop and
skirts are so short nowadays as to be
practically useless. The pitching’ too is
rather uneven,- some being good. and
others distinctly poor. . To meet this
difficulty an ingenious plan has been
evolved: for those who are apt to shoot
wide of the mark the home plate (a door
mat if you remember) is widened con-
siderably ;.if the pitcher is more skillful

The Journal of Katherine Mansfield:
Edited by J. Middleton Murray. :
Katherine Mansfield’s journal has the
quality of her -stories—sharp perception,
uneasy truth, . To «achieve greatness she
does not need to be preoccupied with
great things. Her almost distressing
clarity in. little ones represents an effart
of mind equivalent to the greatest and
noisiest attempts. Her form is not
materially different’ from Dove's Nest,
partly because the stories are -impres-
sionistic in technique, partly because her
journal-is-preoccupied with the same sort
of thing—catching, without a ‘coarseness
or a blur, the exact emotional content of
small scenes. Her strongest desire is to
be humble, to be faithful, to be crystal-
clear, in,the recording of such scenes;
not to. allow ill health to scatter her
faculties, “like a river flowing away in
countless little trickles over a dark
swamp.”
From 1914 to 1922, the period covered
by her journal, illness governed her. ex-
ternal life. It sent her over France in
search of the right climate, it tormented
her with inability te concentrate, to be
calm, controlled, iand effective. - That
doubts of* herself did not destroy. her
was due to her sense of humor and her
eagerness for perfection. At her weak-
est she seized each lovely image, each
glimpse of people with meaning in it.
and ‘tried to .transcribe them with all
irrelevancies drained away. And she
allowed herself such cheerful absurdi-
ties as her explanation of French im-
morality+the rooms were so cold and
the chairs .were so hard, there was really
no place to eptertain but in bed.
For all of ifs revelation of herself, the
journal is not spontaneous. Whether she
felt fugitive thoughts were not even
worth thinking,’ or whether she wrote
with an eye to publication, Katherine
Mansfield has disciplined her diary.
Again it is like a short story—like one of
her own peculiar short stories—requiring
neither more nor less’ effort of the reader
to. Freconstruct a person from an artful
sequence of impressions. es.
