Over Period of Centuries.





BUDDHIST ART TRACED

Indian@art, with which most of us were
painfylly unacquainted; was the subject
of a very illuminating lecture in Taylor
on Friday evening, April 1. Dag Diez in-
troduced the” speaker, Dr. Ananda Coom-
araSwamy, who since 1917 has beeg
curator of the Indian collection in the
Boston Art Museum and’ is one of the
few scholars who is an authority on In-
dian art.



Dr. Coomaraswamy begém his rapid
survey of the entire field of Indian art in
painting and sculpture by showing us
some primitive seals dating from about
three’or four thousand B. O. C. which
were very similar in character to Sume-
rian art of the same period. He also
showed us a few terra cotta figures of
foddesses of fertility of the primitive
period,:the type of which has continued

on down through Indian art until thegnews,

present time.

Before the third century B. C., how-
ever, there was little monumental. art
due in large measure to the character of
the religion, which was a worship of
more or less abstract genii, or guardian
spirits, of the Naga or Yuksha types,
which are related to certain types of
As the re-
ligion was of an entirely abstract mys-
tical character with elements of -nature
worship, it was natural that a monu-,
mental art should not develop until there
was some need felt on the part of the
people for anthropomorphisation. This
need was felt as early as the third cen-
tury B. C.. when certain definite types
were first developed in art as the result
of the first stages of a devotional wor-
ship, whose emotional requirements were
soon anthropomorphic.

One Religion Conquering

“Chivalry was founded by four hun-
dred Arabic Knights,” said Professor
Joshi, head of the Department of Philoso-
phy at Dartmouth and a descendant of
a long line of Brahmin scholars, in a
talk on comparing Islam and Chris-
tianity Tuesday evening, April 5: He pled
for an attitude of discrimination and*

’ tolerance toward Islam. We should dis-

cover the highest peaks of achievement
of other people, not their faults, and thus
acquire knowledge and wisdom. @

Today there are four dominant types
of. civilization, Western (based on Greek
philosophy, the Roman system of law, the
Christian religion, Hebrew ethical teach-
ing, and ndéw embracing the modern
scientific movement), secondly the civi-

Shaw’s Life Is Series .
of Inspired Follies

To give a “personal close-up” of his
friend, Mr. Bernard Shaw, was the pur-
pose of Mr. Archibald Henderson in
speaking here, on Thursday, March 31.
As Shaw’s biographer, Mr.. Henderson

‘has had the opportunity to find out many

amusing things about the personality of
the great dramatist.

He has often been: asked how he, a
student of mathematics, had come to
write this biography ; his account of it is
amusing, and typical of Shaw. When he
was still a student, he was taken to a
performance of You Never. Can Tell.
This affected hima“like a bath of Milli-
ken Rays,” so he set’ to work to read
everything that Shaw had ever written.
Then, with the audacity of youth, he
wrote to Shaw, and formally proposed to
write his life. After several anxious
weeks, he received a post card, bearing
the four words “Send me your photo-
graph!” Mr. Henderson said this re-
quest embarrassed him exceedingly be-

POMPEII WAS A

MYSTIC CENTER



Dr. Rostovseff Found Friezes
of Ritual—Shows' Slides
For First Time.

COMPLEX — INITIATIONS





That Pompeii in the last days of the
Roman republic was a center of Greek
mystic cults was the theme discussed by
Dr. Ivan Rostovseff, now’ Professor of
history at Yale University, and formerly
at a womag’s University in Petersburg,
in a lecture delivered in me or Hall on
Saturday evening, April 2.

These cults were developed in Greece

Jin the sixth century. B. C., during a period

of political and industrial strife. Misery
and oppression on-earth led to faith in a
divine justice hereafter, to a preoccupa-
tion generally with the mysteries of: life
and death not -solved Homer and
Hesiod.

by

Cult of Demeter Old

The worship of the earth mother, the
Goddess of the spring resurrection, called
in Greece Demeter, went back to the Pre-
Indo-European period; added to this,
frorn the ndethad come the worship of
Bacchus, the god of vegetation. From
the sacrificial rites in his honor arose the
mystic Dionysiac cult, its followers be-
lieving that participation in their myster-
ies and initiation ceremonies would bring
a new life hereafter for the Blessed. At
first these followers were the oppressed
peop'es of humble origin, but by the sixth
century B. C. the attention of those in
higher circles had been attracted, stimul-
latitig a new period of philosophic specu-
latior, On these early cults new philoso-
phy was built up, based on the principles
of original sin, purification, infernal
punishment and heaventy reward. The
origin of the system was ascribed to a
mythical god, Orphetts, and the philoso-
phy he was supposed to have propounded,
called Orpheism, affected in turn the
Eleusian Mysteries of Demeter and
various Dionysiac cults,

In the fifth and fourth centuries B. C.
these philosophies spread over Italy and

Sicily. Tablets of advice to the dead
have been found on the sites- of o'd
graves

In spite of official censure the cults
lived and spread. Finally in the civil
wars, with Italy overridden by strife and
suffering and Lucretius’ appeal to ‘reason

less embarrassing thar I thought. I can-

not resort to the usual formula and de-
clare that this is the best play I have
ever seen in Bryn Mawr, hecause it
would not mean much in my case. But
it is certainly an excellent amateur pro-
duction; that in almost every detail gives
[proof of competence, effort and talent.

M. Villard Stars. as Blayds

M. Villard undoubtedly starred as the
old poet Blayds and her qualities are
far above the ordinary range. Her make-
up was excellent, her costume and _atti-
tude struck one as trite in every respect.
Her quivering voice, the shaking of her
hands, were admirably kept up until the ~
fend, while the diction always remained
clear and carried to the audience the im-
pression of melancholy regret and pathos
of that-old-man crushed by his lifelong
secret, Miss Villard’s exceptional gifts
as an interpreter of difficult parts was
known to the college already; she has
given another and last proof of it before
she leaves Bryn Mawr.

Miss Barker, who is, I believe, a Fresh-
man, will on the contrary have more op-
portunities to display her talent, for she
has also a large share of it. She had
already been something of a revelation
in Pierrot at the Players’ and she seems
to have some experience of the amateur
stage, so easy 1s her acting, not stained
by the slightest touch of self-conscious-
ness or awkwardness. The naturalness
with which she walked about the stage
sat down, delivered in a rich voice her
replies of the frank, saucy granddaughter
Septima were most refreshing | and de-
lightful to the audience,

SELF-GOVERN MENT
This week the new Executive
Board of the Self-government As-
sociation comes into power. More
than any other board. within recent
years, this board needs a_ clear
vision and a firm hand. For on the’

- respect which it can command, the
public opinion it can -arouse, de-
pends the successful operation of
Self-government.

“The past board has put through
the difficult task of re-making the
entire code of rules. This revision
has been based on the theory that
people will obey rules which they
have had some hand in making,
more readily than those which are
imposed upon them as a heritage of
the ages. The new set of resolu-
tions is the most liberal—and, in
comparison with those of other. col-
leges, it is very liberal—that can be
obtained at this time. If. the stu-
dent body fails to obey these rules,
if it fails to support the Executive
Board which it has elected and to
which it has given the power and
the responsibility of carrying out
these rules, it will acknowledge that
it is not capable of self-government.

To be fair, not only to the Board

_of Directors, and to Miss Park who
have faith enough to allow us to re-
make our rules and to govern our-
selves, but also to ourselves, ‘we
must co-operate with the Executive
Board in the spirit in which the
new_rules were made.

NOT GUILTY

The Boule—the Supreme Court
of Greece—has recently been the
scene of a very pretty publicity
stunt. At Jeast, no one can believe
seriously in the effort of the Greek
lawyer who, this past month, has



‘been trying to get the Court to re-

verse the decision against Socrates.

Such a reversal cannot affect
Socrates nor-his reputation, nor
even that of the Court which con-
demned him, for few will-:remember
the present action, while no one who
reads the Apologia can forget what
happened in 399 B. C.

While the most that this effort
can do is to make the people con-

Lcerned look ridiculous, it is certain-

ly an ingenious way of getting your
name in the papers. Let us hope,
however, that no other disinter-
ments of causes cebres will take
place. :



PRINCETON SEEKS SARETY

Since automobiles, due to danger
to. life and property, have been
banned from Princeton, — roller-

skates and airplanes have enjoyed
much notoriety as substitutes. From
latest reports, however, airplanes
seem to be gaining the monopoly.
The reasons are obvious. Streets
and sidewalks are terribly congest-
ed, and. traffic regulations have
failed to obviate this condition.
Furthermore both streets and side-
walks are made of materials noted

for their hardness and _ resistance.

Thus bruises and fractures often
result frony an impact of the human

no wonder that such dire menaces
to life and limb as roller-skating in-
volves, should not long be tolerated.
On the other hand, now that the
farmers have de-crowed New Jer-
sey, the air is comparatively un-
populated. Collisions have been
reduced to the minimum, and, al-
though a few chimneys and house
tops may suffer, human life is un-
molested.

Correspondence
April 11, 1927*
To the Editor of the CoLLEceE News:

As you are printing in this issue of the
CotteceE News a newspaper report of
Mrs. Tiffany's will, | venture to ask for
a litle of your space in order to peint out

_Jwhat seems to me the real significance of

such a bequest.

A woman of great social charm and of
marked ability, Mrs. Tiffany had perhaps
as close a connection with things which |

uate of Bryn Mawr. An ardent believer
in woinan suffrage, she was one of its
active supporters everi in the long ago
days when to support it meant to work
hard for it, and she continued ‘her work
after the passage of the suffrage amend-
ment as Regional Director of the New
York League of Women Voters. A
great admirer of Woodrow Wilson, she
was a member of the Board of Trustees
of the Woodrow. Wilson Foundation,
and, eager for international understand-
ing, she was one of the members of the
Executive Committee of the Foreign
Policy Association. In spite of these and
many other interests, it was to Bryn
Mawr that, with the exception of a‘ few
legacies, she bequeathed at the expira-
tion of four trust funds her entire estate.

Another Alumna, Mrs. Percy Jackson,
of New York City, equally well known
for her public work and at the time of
her death a year ago president of the
New York Consumer’s League, and, like
Mrs. Tiffany, a woman of very real dis-
tinction, also has left the larger part
of her estate, at the expiration of a trust
fund, to: Bryn Mawr. It may well make
us pause, especially those who may be
questioning the value of college training,
and consider what tributes “like these
mean when paid by women who must
have tested innumerable times during the
years since their graduation (thirty in
Mrs. Tiffany’s case and twenty-five in
that of Mrs. Jackson) the real worth



of the training given them by Bryn
Mawr.

headed straight for the lower pasture.
Chapter Ill

There I dismounted and left my faith-
ful steed with no little regret. I walked;
what endless inches I walked, all the way
up from the pasture to the orchard. When
I got there, although it was early spring.
and there really wasn’t any point to it,
I determined that I must climb the Apple
tree. From earliest childhood, I had al-
ways dreamed of climbing the Appletree,
it seemed such a glorious feat, and one
so seldom performed. Inexperienced.as
I was, I set forth. It*was difficult going;
from time to time twigs wou'd break off
and fall to the ground with a foreboding
thud, but at last.I achieved the topmost
branch. What a view was spread out
before me! I felt dizzy, exalted, uplifted.
[ wanted to sing, to shout, but my enrap-
tured mood was short lived, a sudden
breeze, and I was ,brought back to earth.

Chapter IV

I picked myself up, and made my way
leisurely across the fied. At the end I
came to the Barb Wire’ Fen@e, an ime
passible barrier, and I realized that I
should have to retrace my steps or do
what no man had ever. done before.

¢ ;
Rather than go the long prosaic way, I
choose the latter; I prepared to go
through the fence. But the perils that be-
set me, the scratches I received, were
worth it, in the face of what I had done.
I had conquered the unconquerable.

Chapter V

From the other side, by dint of. steal-
ing rides on the farm wagon (what fun
I.had hiding from the farmer, who had
already issued a threat to thresh me!)
I arrived at last’ at the building whose
fame has spread throughout the world—
the Chicken Coop! It captured my fancy
at once, and I spent a long time, merely
gazing at its ephemeral beauty. . The
night I spent there,.in spite of the wary

I swam in ie horse trough, climbed

Isabel’s impersonation was probably
the hardest lot and consequently more
Open to criticism. Her prasicat appear-
ance did.not quite produce the illusion of
a mature woman, who can look back
upon her love-affairs of eighteen years |
ago. She had the quiet, weary attitude
of the, self-sacrificing daughter of a great.
man, but one did not always feel the
passion underlying the restraint. One
lacked something more tense and intense
hidden behind her self-devotion and even
her tardy love-raptures of the closing
scene.

m Men’s parts are often, naturally enough,
a stumbling block_in a performance in-a
women’s college. Royce and Oliver did
not certainly detract anything from the
good impression of the whofe perform-
ance; but they betrayed in their clothes
rand make-up, ‘in their voice and acting,
some uneasiness, or some desire. to ap-
pear too easy, which did not trick us
into that momentary suspension of dis-
belief that is the ideal object of a per-
formance. To be fair, one must remem-
ber the barrenness of their parts in the
written play— and our stricttures are
perhaps,due to the resentment that men
(and professors) feel at discovering
how ‘women (and students) see us.

Miss Stewart deserves high compli-
ments for the fine and ardor of her more
than adequate rendering of her part. Her
make-up and costume, in a_ splendid
frock-coat unmistakably cut by the best
of the London tailors, her most amusing
gestures when drawing out her handker-
chief and polishing her glasses, showed a
great cleverness and a keen sense of all
the comic possibilities of the character.
I cannot help thinking she slightly over-
did that comic e'ement, and pushed it to
the verge of burlesque beyond what the
author intended. But she made the audi-
ence laugh, and that was no dovbi her
object.

Our only serious criticism might be the
with some
adroitness of craftmanship, somewhat too
obviously done, a mixture of comic, con-
ventional and—alas! poor final scene !—
seritimental elements that seemed a bit .
old-fashioned. But, as the phrase goes,
“the audience enjoyed it immensely.”
Every detail of the production had been
carefully studied; none of those. defects

showed intelligence in the study of their
parts, youthful vitalityy and not a few,
promises of real talent. We cannot do
better than by expressing our gratitude to —
Miss Ling, whose well-known ability and
unsparing efforts had certainly not a
little share in the remarkable results
achieved. We have no doubt the New
York audience next Saturday will take
as much pleasure as we experienced, and
it will be for the Varsity dramatics a
deserved confirmation of their success.

his levity for once’and answer this; “Do.
you not think that if we followed your
plan we should lapse into barbarism?”
“Madam,” said Shaw, “I object to your
use of the word ‘lapse’ How can we
lapse into it whenwe are already there?”

Four months before the production of
Saint Joan, he was again lecturing before
a large audience of women. He said he
had read everything ever written about
Joan of Arc, and that he was the only
person who had ever really understood
her. At seventeen she knew everyone’s
business better than the person ‘himself.
She told the soldier how to fight, the
‘captain how to command, the Dauphin
how to win the confidence of the French
people, all of which she knew better than
they, because she had had “an intimate
talk with St. Michael” or Saint Catherine
or Saint Margaret. Shaw had only one
adjective with which to describe her—
“Snsufferable.” At the end of -the lecture
a woman voiced the feelings of the audi-
ence in moving a vote of thanks, and, she
added, “I am sure that I voice the feel-

great error; that it is not Joan of Arc,
but Bernard Shaw who is insufferable.”
Hates United States

Shaw does not like the United States,
He has said he will not come here until
the “ethnic type has been established, until
you have reverted to savage Indians.” In
“Why
should anyone who is in London want to
go to the United States?” He bases his

illiberal—I should be arrested for doubt-
ing the story of Elisha and the bears ;”
and “you do not know the meaning of
freedom—my irony does fot extend to
gazing upon your Statue of Liberty.”
However, he was forced to say that Eng-
land, too, did not know the meaning of
freedom, when at his seventieth birthday
banquet, he was not allowed to broadcast
his speech, because he would not agree
“speak controversially.”

On one occasion Shaw was asked to
speak at the Athenacum Club in London.
The next day there was great consterna-
tion at the club, because’ they found a
notice he had posted saying: “Will the
Noble Lord whe stole my umbrella last
night please return it'at once? No ques-
tions asked.” ‘Later a friend told him
that they were still debating ‘‘How in the

monument,

The Stupa of Sanchi provides
us with much material for study both
in statues and reliefs. - The reliefs have
to do with the life of Buddha and it is
that
Buddha is not represented as yet except
by symbols, for instance, by an umbrella,
or footsteps, a sacred wheel or a tree.
Each symbol came to mean a_ peculiar
event in his life. The Guardian Spirits
give us, however, some figure sculpture
of this time, and the connection with the
primitive figure is brought out very

particularly interesting to see

strongly. Female figures used as brack-,

ets are also directly in the tradition of
the primitive fertility goddesses.
_Buddhistic Art Begins

The development in the Kushan

Period, second century A, D., shows the

actual introduction of a figure ‘to rep-

resent Buddha, though the symbols were

still used in _conjunctioi_with such fig- |"

ures, and eventually became attributes
of the deity. It was as a result of the
ever-growing need of the people for cult
images as the religion of Buddhism be-
came popular and was officially adopted
that the great Buddhistic art first began.
To meet the demand’ artists naturally
turned to the forms of art with which
they were already familiar and which
could easily be adopted to ‘their particu-
lar needs.- And thus the tradition of
style was passed directly on’ from the
older religions to Buddhism.. Other re-

therefore the « artistic types ‘were very

- Dr. Coomaraswamy briefly took up
the.*question of the art of Gandhara.
He feels that the art was a result of the
same anthropomorphic impulse which
was felt*in India, and that here as there
the artist turned to the artistic styles
with which he was familiar and which
were at hand in order to satisfy the
popular demand As _ what the- artist

Hellenistic culture, so the Buddhistic
art of the time was a mixtlire of East-
ern and Hellenistic styles. As- an exam-
pte of East Indian art, he showed a few
slides from the Stupa of Amarivati, one
of the most elaborate of the monuments.
Heré ‘symbols’ were ysed as well as fig-
ures in various. different accounts of the
story of Buddha. The. technique was
masterly both in the actual sculpture and
in the composition and management of
crowds,

Highest - Point Gypta Period “

‘The highest point of art was reached
in the fifth century A. -D, during the
Gypta Period (320-600 A. DD):
Buddhist art of this period was a per-
fect balance between the sensual and
material Indian elements, and the high-
est ‘spiritual content of the devotional
Buddhist religion. The artists were
thorough masters of technique, which
was still very much at the service of art
The time had-not yet come when tech-
nique was an end in itself and art only
its vehicle. The treatment’ is in general
more static than kinetic and it is not
until the beginning of the slow and grad-
ual decline that the static becomes
kinetic, mass becomes outline, and energy
and vigor begin to fail. We were again
shown a typical figure, a standing
Buddha, and the direct descent from the
first early figure was easily seen. There
is still the same impressive mass, the
solid energy, but there isa gain in suavity
and finish which marks unmistakably the
greatness of this period. The drapery is
close and clinging and inclined to. be
linear, but the elaborate decoration is
always in, good taste and thoroughly
satisfying; In the representations of
Buddha, some symbols are used apart
from the attributes of the Buddha him-

tures are beginning to be used. Here
also there are feminine divinities de-
picted as flying, and it is interesting to
see that the motion through the air is
represented not by material wings, ‘but
by the position of the body and the line
of the wind-blown drapery and hair

ture applies in large degree to painting
also. In such paintings.as those in the
Ajunta caves there is a certain amount
of modelling and movement, and the
technique is assured and_ thoroughly
worked out. They are a reflection of

emotional, just as is the drama and lit-
erature and the sculpture already con-
sidered.
Figure Sculpture Declining

As an example of "later sculpture,
when the decline had already begun, we
were shown slides of reliefs from the
Seven Pagodas in the Desert of the
Ganges. Here the animals, particularly
the elephant and deer, are especially fine,
though the first seeds of decline are eas-
ily discernible in the figure sculpture.

tion are always clearly before one. Rec-
tifying. a mistake or finding a better
method of doing something may involve
the saving of millions of dollars,

But in the best equipped laboratories,
with the, most highly trained workers,
id@as are at. a premium. Whoever has
one, is given thé fullest opportunity for
its development. There is no question -of
anyone taking the. credit due to anyone
else, there is too much respect for the
work itself.. Thus scientific research is
the ideal field for women, it is the “acme
of goggl sportsmanship.”

The Democratic Way of Life. By
. Thomas: Vernor- Smith.
With economic interpretations and

theories of. evolution reducing man’s
capacity for free development to nar-
row limits it is stimulating to. find an
intelligent writer who ‘not only “believes
in man's ability to realize his own ideal
‘with the tools that are «at hand, but
who finds that ideal in poor, mistreated
and dishorfored democracy.

The reason for the present disrepute
of the democratic idea’ Professor
Smith says, is largely that we have only
tried it as a form of- government, where-
as this form is really only a means*-to
attain and enjoy the true democracy,
which is a way of life. Jt is with the
_ purpose of ,describing this way of. life,
of setting up a shining ‘but attainable
goal before the discouraged lovers of
democracy, that Mr. Smith has written
his short book. In the eloquent, almost
Biblical style of a professor of English
literature turned philosopher, he evokes.
a life based on the true and living in-
terpretation of the old catchwords Lib-
erty, Equality and Fraternity, the -last
the greatest of all. The almost antique
flavor of the phrasing is in marked
coiftrast to the sweeping modernity and
vigor of the author’s ideas.

Having. shown in the first three parts
of his book how the three cardinal prin-
ciples may be worked out in actual life,
Mr.. Smith introduces a chapter on
Democracy and the Day’s Work, con-
taining his most stimulating contribu-
tions to the subject. In work, as the
most democratic and” essential form of
man’s activity, and not in shorter hours
and marginal culture, the good life must
be found. The worst drudgery having
been relieved by the aid of science and
machinery, the spirit of the professions,
with their friendliness, their opportuni-
ties for stimulating service, with above
all the susceptibility to change and prog-
ress which averts. the deadening effect
of rigidity, must be spread to all forms
of work; and .though the leveling in-
fluence of Communism is to be avoided,
no man must have too little while an-
other has too much.

In the last chapter, on Leadership, Mr.
Smith points out that even the greatest
de nocratic philosophers have laid too
much. stress on the guidance of great
men, by whom they mean men of com-
manding personality and general ability
who sweep the common people off their
feet, in the direction in which they ought
to go; Rousseau himself felt that men
must be made to see what is good for
them.

‘Such leadership, however, defeats
democracy. The new leaders must be
scientists, trained men with real knowl-
edge in a specialized field, who will be
leaders jn that one field, while they are
followers ‘in another. Fraternity will
come n cause all are working towards
a common goal, but because all are work-
ing in the same manner, each - fulfilling
his own ideal of the good life without
constraint. For to set up a common
goal defeats liberty.

All this is a little vague perhaps, much
more so necessarily in this faint -sug-
gestion than in the book itself. But the
value of it is really not so much in its
constructive principles, as in its expres-
sions of faith. Mr. Smith is what so
few of us are—a true lover of democ-
If his expo-
sition does not make us become enamored

The Minister’s Daughter, by Hildur-
Dixelius. E. P. Dutton and Company.

The Minister's Daughter stands as a
purely, nationalistic novel of Sweden. The
subject-matter, the spirit, the charac-
terization and the manner of tellmg the
story, all belong strictly to the style of
the ‘author’s country. eee,

The story takes place at the end of
the Eighteenth and the beginning of the
Nineteenth Centuries, but, had it been
left undated, we should have taken it
for much earlier. Not only does it re-
flect none of the revolutionary up-
heavals in which progressive nations were
being shaken at that time, but its re-
ligious character is almost medfeval. It

_ is a study of certain characters in the

light ‘of the conduct of life according to
inquisitor-like conscience. The heroine,
Sara Alelia, who has done wrong, de-"
voted her life to the expiation of her
sin by aiding those in distress in a
Christian spirit. \Passages quoted from



lieves in the direct communication of
God’s will to her, or to any individual’



.

conviction for: the very modern reader
except for, the extreme vividness with
which the actiom is treated. We are the
further _reconciled to the. character of
Sara‘ Alelia, because in the end the hard-
uess of her northern conscience is re-
lieved by a turning back to a less severe
standard. For years she had thought
that the sacrifice of her love for SahlJen
was demanded of her by God; but, when
he becomés helpless through the loss of
his. eyesight, she finds marriage com-
patible with dut\

It is contrary to our expectations that
the book dogs not conclude on a somber
note. Sara Alelia has struggled amid
harrowing circumstances. She has failed
to save a woman from the gallows, she
has .been unable to rescue the little daugh-
ter of the strange Norenius from the
death or which the pride of the poverty-
stricken Tather was chiefly responsible.
But at the last the prospect of happiness
dawns for her.

The realism of The Minister's Daugh-
ter reminds us of Selma Lagerlov’s work.
There is no plot, but a recital of a con-
stant strugelg against misfortune with
final gratifying reward. The de-
scription of externals is clear and sharp.
The characters do not conform to any
standard with which we are particularly
familiar, but are similar in their original-
ity to those of Selma Lagerlov. That
is because, as has been said, The ‘Win-
ister’s Daughter is — strictly the line
of development of a nationalistic type.
The effort is sincere, the result convine-
ing, and in the words of Edward Gar-
nett, “... these Swedish people of the
year 1798 are made as real to us as
are the people who pass down the street
today.” M. V.

Mother Knows Best, by Edna Ferber.
Doubleday, Page and Company.

“A Fiction Book” is the subtitle Miss
Ferber chooses; but it seems to me that
“A Collection of Moral Tales” would be
more accurate. For each one of the
novelettes in this book points a good old-
fashioned moral, and points with no un-
certain finger. Love comes to the mod-
ern girl and transforms her into 1860
model wife and mother: Pa, ma and
Carrie Cowen go in-pursuit of adven-
ture, beauty and romance, and, finding
only indigestion, headaches and_ terror,
return to familiar Newark, never again
to stray; Hilda Tune, who would not
condescend to work, ends as a ridiculed
saleswoman, while her sister, Hannah—
wouldn’t you know that she would be
Hannah ?—who is not too proud to be a
waitress, marries a brakeman, and with
him achieves private cars and Goyas over
the manfel; Denny Regan refused to
marry the girl who sneered at him for
following the fine old calling, a tradi-
tion in the Regan family, of hog driving.
All these are tales calculated to make
the lower classes bend to the plow
cheerfully, confident that their reward,
though possibly delayed, is inevitable.

And yet they are delightful stories,
full of neat characterization, of clever
observation, of swift narrative. Miss
Ferber seems to have studied her scenes
carefully and intelligently, and her com-
prehension of people, sympathetic and
acute, makes her characters enormously

convincing and attractive.

William Hohengzollern:
the Kaisers, by Emily Ludwig.
Putnam and Sons.

The wheel of popular interest in
literature has come almost the complete
circle since the official beginning of ro-
manticism, one-hundred years ago. The
characteristic poetry of this age is not
concerned primarily with the expression
of the individual’s feeling, it strives main-
ly for form; the most widely-read books
are not those of imagined and _ far-off
beauty, they are the works of biography,
of psychological review of known situa-
tions. This is the age of fact rendered
palatable by being treated as fiction, or
of fiction which has about. it enough of
alleged fact to enable the reader to feel
that he is getting an inside view of the
situation. In spite of external disorder,
of obvious restlessness, it is a time when
everyone is digging into the past and at-
tempting to arrange, assort, co-ordinate
and interpret information. People have
come more and more to realize how

whom everyone flatters through self-in-
terest, you find your pity mixed with
contempt. The familiar bogey figure of
the Kaiser, feared as the Beast of Re-
velations, whom Lloyd George promised
to hang for his dniquities, passes away,
and one sees him in his proper propor-
tions, by no means essentially bad, cer-
tainly not in the least great, in short, a
man too weak and too small to use to
advantage an enormous opportunity. It
is very good that all this should be
said in order that people may not con-
tinue to identify the Kaiser, whether the
Kaiser of fact or of legend,..with the
great and pacific country he helped to
lead to disaster, in spite of his sincere
desire to increase her prestige.

The book is scrupulously fair in its
condemnation because it quotes as testi-
mony only the speeches and writings of
the Kaiser and his partisans, fiot once
of his enemies. It ‘gives him credit for
numberless good intentions. But his es-
sential littleness and the irony that such
as he should rule—this is borne home
more and more as the narrative ad-
vances. :

_ The- translation of , Ethel Colburn
Mayne is very quick and idiomatic, if
occasionally . rather too bombastic for
English. In one place at least she has
made a signal error, when she calls
“olittering” that “shining armor,” which
made all Europe blink. Surely the phrase
is’ familiar enough to be accepted as
the standard translation. For the rest.
the language seems spontaneous, and it

is certainly vivid. K. 6.

Landscape Architecture
Offers Field to Women

Landscape architecture as a career for
women was the subject of .an interesting
talk given in chapel on Friday, April 1,
by Miss Nearing of the class of 1909,
Miss .Ngaring is herself a landscape
architect and is at present busy planning
gardens for H@®uses in Germantown.

Landscape architecture is like a three-
cornered wedge between the professions
of architecture, engineering and garden-
ing. It allows a wide range of* things
to do just because it is a new profession



with blue eyes, baptized by gentle |
rain.” We should be thankful that we
are spared “came the dawn.” :
Lord Strathcombie, the hero, is a
man “haloed by the sheer glory of
work,” so Louise, little devil that she |

are told that she has a very keen mind,
and to prove it, she makes the discov-
ery early in the book, that the younger
zenerations of all ages have been much
the same as the present one. That she
is intellectually curious is clearly
shown by her asking the hero what his
theory of life is.

Babs. the pure girl who wins Rob-
ert away from Louise by her fresh
youthfulnes, is an example of another
type of modern girl. She is in her
twenties and eager to know why men
stare at her on the ‘street—in fact she
is full of wonderment.

There are two living people in the
book, Lady Purth and her daughter
Charlotte. They are relatively unim-
portant to the author, but a breath of
renewed life to the expiring reader.
The best thing in the book is on the
-page following the title page—

“The author wishes to state that all
the characters in this novel. are en-
tirely of the imagination.” One can
only add, and what an imagination!

Love Always Works,
Says Dougherty

From the thirteenth Corinthians the
Rev. George P. Dougherty, director of
Christ’s Church, Bloomfield, N. J., took
the text of his sermon in Chapel on Sun-
‘day, April 10. “Love, or as St. Paul
rather meant it, a gentle, understanding
sympathy, was the vixtue without which
there shall be no Christian virtues.”

“This passage is one of the most beauti-
®ful prose poems in the world. It, more
than all the rest of the Bible, should be
the foundation of our religious life. No
Jonger than the Gettysburg address, it
has had more effect on the religion of.
the world than all the rest of St. Paul's
writings.

“It is not like his other writings fort |
many of them are polemical, doctrinal,
scholastic, provocative of discussion, even
in the rest of this letter. Then suddenly
he ceases to talk of dogma and writes
this, his masterpiece.

“The Church of Corinth to which he:
was writing was composed of people not
unlike us: intelligent, though less so than
they thought, they enjoyed . theological
discussions, treated some sins severely
and others too lightly, were inclined to
‘intellectual and religious snobbery. St.)
Paul realized that what they needed was.
—love, a gentle understanding sympathy.

“I dare you to read the first few verses
of that passage,” said Dr. Dougherty,
“and take them for what they mean. If
this had been done long ago, it would
have ended all controversies. There is
‘nothing more daring in the New Testa-
"Martyrdom Is'Not Enough >






and not highly specialized as yet. How-
ever, the practice of gardening is old:

| the great gardens of the Italian Renais-

sance were designed by artists.

The requirements for a professional in
this line are first of atl a- graphic
‘magination, and then a certain ability to
put down on paper what you have
imagined, although you emphatically do
not have to be a great artist. Besides 4
these a cettain practical sense is neces-
sary, an ability to meet practical issues.
You need to be pretty strong—just being
fond of flowers is not enough—for it is
hard concentrated work and you have
to be out-of-doors a great deal. . Per-
haps the most important quality is the
ability to get a'ong with different kinds
of* people. ee
The preparation for this profession is
long—five to seven years of study after
college and even then some time before
you can earn a living. Now for the
rewards after having paused so long on
the difficulties. - All the connections of
the profession are interesting. It brings
you in touch with the great movements
of the day: town planning, parks and
civic developmént. You get into a “far
greater fie'd than merely designing
beautiful gardens for individuals. There
is constant contact with interesting people,
and opportunity to follow fascinating
sidelines. What chance has a woman in
this field? You have to meet the defi-
nite prejudice against -women-in-all-pro-
fessions. You have to be better than a
man. But now this prejudice is break-
ing down, although the e are different
opportunities in. different parts of the
country. Landscape architecture is recog-
nized as a profession for women in Bos-
ton and the Middle West as well as
around New York. Around Philadelphia
it is not recognized as a real art and a
real profession; a colored gardeher is
usually chosen before a landscape archi-
tect. However, there is coming to be
more and more of a chance for women
in this field.

Christ Is Alphabet by
Which We May Read God

“I am Alpha and Omega.” The. mean-
ing of these heretofore simp!e words was
suddenly transformed into a definite
vividness by Dr. William Pierson Mer-
rill, of the Brick Presbyterian Church
in New York in his sermon given here
on Sunday, April 3. Bes

A thousand years ago “Alpha” and
“Omega” were used in the common
speech of every day life; if we stop to
think, their meaning is almost over-
powering in its immensity, for they are
translated as “Christ, in Whom is all
manner of wisdom and knowledge.” He
is the ABC and the XYZ; He is the
alphabet; and the alphabet is the, sole
foundation of wisdom and knowledge.

There is something arbitrary in the way
people pick out those: twenty-six letters.
Some have thought . to revise them, only.
to find it an’ impossibility. “And why?
Because the alphabet has proved its
power and we cannot. understand lite
ture without it. Man thinks likewise of
Christ... “He has proved His power in
rogré arning, and the lives of the
p.is God in the soul-of maa.

ge Shaw as a Socialist

‘A friend once* took Mr. Henderson to
his home in Hammersmith; the house
had once belonged to William Morris,
and it. was there that the Kelmstock Press
had beesf#founded. This man had a min-
pute book of the Hammersmith Socialist
Club, kept in Morris’ own hand. Among
the speakers were Shaw, Sidney Webb,
R.. B. Haldane and Ramsay MacDonald,
none of them particularly prominent then,
but all Socialists. It was an American
who converted Shaw to Socialism, but
his idea of a Socialist society is not demo-
cratic in the American sense. There will
be no series of ranks—all class barriers
will be broken down, and he looks for-
ward to such privileges as saying to any
woman he sees walking down the street,
“Madam, you interest me strangely. If
you are not already engaged, may I come
to tea on Friday next, and offer myself?”
“ Every Form of Art Tried
Shaw is a man who has tried every
form of art before finding his place. He
began as an art critic, because, when he
was ten, he was so bored with Sunday
School that he spent hours every Sunday
in the Art Gallery of Ireland. He saved
up enough money to buy a translation of
Vasari, and became a good art critic,
until the editor for whom he worked
asked him to praise some very poor pic-
‘tures by the editor’s cousin. Shaw re-
signed, and became a music critic. He
was successful in this too, because his
mother had been an opera singer, and at







seen in the British museum with a book
one’ each side of him,
stranger looked over Htis shoulder, and
found that he was readin them simul-

tal and the score of Tristram and Isolde.

After he grew.tired of being a music
critic, Shaw became a dramatic critic.
Here he broke every convention, starting
with the one that you must dress to sit
in the stalls, Shaw went in a velvet
jacket. The tisher told him he ceuldn’t
wear it there, so he took it off and pro-

pursued him, but this: time Shaw ex-
claimed in a loud voice “What! you don’t
want me to take og anything else do
you?”
Greatest Living Dramatist
Mr., Henderson did not, discuss Shaw
as-a dramatist... “He. is recognized now

plays are becoming more and more popu-
lar, and. there- are more books written

wrights who ever lived, so I will pass
over this.”
There is one line in Pygmalion which

stone. Pickering says, about the wager
“This is madness, folly.” and is answered
by the line “After all what is life but a
series ‘of inspired follies ?” ‘



Experiment at Antioch

Antioch College has adopted a plan of
study, that abolishes all mass method and
‘puts the student almost entirely on his
own resources. The instructor acts only
as an advisor when the student finds. it
impossible to continue his study with-
out help.

Each subject is fully outlined for the
year, and then it is up to the student to
master it in any way he sees fit. No
quizzes or monthly tests are given and
all the student is required to do, is to
be ab!e to pass the examinations at the
end of the year.. Individual attention is
given by the instructors, and group dis-
cussions take the place of: classes.

Islam Conquers

righteousness.” Of these Buddhism is not
aggressive, since it has never been in-
tolerant of otlier religions. Christianity

and Islam, on the other hand, are both}

Sémitic; and intolerant, being based on
the. conception that the Jews. are’ the
chosen people of God and that therefore
any religious views acquired by the Jews
are the only ones. But Christianity may
truly be said to be the worse: since fhany
great potentates used Islam for purely
cultural purposes.
Three Missionary Religions

Professor Joshi then gave a short sur-
vey of the history of Islam. It was
founded in the sixth century by Mo-
hammed in Arabia. It differs only slight-
ly from the Hebrew religion, since both
believe there is one God, but while the
Jews hold that Moses is his prophet, the
people of Islam say His prophet .is
Mohammed. . The justification which
Mohammed gave for founding a new re-
ligion was the deplorable state at that
time of the Christians and. Jews who
both had. accepted certain types of super-
stition and idof worship.

Islam Rises Rapidly

Within one hundred ‘years after the
death of Mohammed, Arab armies were
marching on three continents as the con-
querors of Europe, Asia and Africa.
They established a capital in Spain at
Cordova. ‘During the Dark Ages when
leartiing practically had ceased in Europe
and even the Church became corrupt, the
Arabs ‘became the founders of chivalry.
Four hundred picked knights were
brought to Andalusia, and after translat-
ing their ancient desert: songs, established
the beginning of chivalry which after-
ward spread to France and Germany.

In the meantime, the other armies were
conquering nations in Asia. The Caliph
of Bagdad, who was practically instru-
mental in creating Arab culture sent

Jmany men to study the civilization,of the

conquered countries—that of Greece and
Persia and India. Cordova, in turn, be-
came a replica of Bagdad civilization.
Schools of culture were founded: and
Plato and Aristotle, after being trans-
lated into Arabit; were translatgd into
Spanish and ‘this #hto other European
languages. The University of Cordova
was famous as a. seat of “learning and
one of its pupils even became a Pope,
Sylvester II. e
Arabs Traysmitted Learning

The Arabs were the great transmitters
of intellectual continuity. Among the
things they passed along were the
decimal system and chess from India and
mathematics and astronorhy from San-
scrit.

One of the things greatly criticized is
the positioneof women among the Mo-
hammedans. All that can be said is that
there are two. ideals, that of seclusion
where the higher the rank, the greater the
seclusion, and the ideal of no. seclusion
where women invade the provinces of

‘men. From a sociological study, both of

these ideals have their advantages.

There are’a great many women of
culture in the Mohammedan world,
though some of them are not able to read
or write: With ancient nations, reading
and writing are not the only modes of
gaining culture. For. example, in India,
in the time of Queen Elizabeth, Akabar,
the ruler, was the most learned man in
the East, yet he was illiterate. Scholars
read to him and he holds a unique place
as a philosopher. By means of a debate
on the subject of religion in which: many
of the leading scholars of the world took
part and over which he presided, a spirit
of toleration was attained at a time when
the Mohammedans and Hindus were in
deadly strife.

Islam Conquered Race Prejudice

Although the Mohammedans may
rightly be accused of using force in
spreading their religion and _ culture,



converted, the convert is accepted as an
equal, regardless. of race, if he is in-
tellectually equal’ He may even rise to

be a ruler. It is mainly for these social

adyantages,.that the Moslems are coming
out ahead in the great race between Islam

nd Christianity to convert the peoples
of Africa. f

@

Tn the treatment of the slave, «Islam,
until recently, has also been in advance
of Christianity.
tianity did not emancipate the slave until
the eighteenth century, Mohammed him-
self preached kindness to the slave and
one of the most important law¢ of Islam
is that the slave shalk have clothes and
food equal with a member of the

family.
“At the present day,” said Professor
Joshi, “all kinds.of fanaticism are being

fanned, both religious and _ scientific.
‘Zulu’. Scientists contend that race is the
greatest thing, yet the greatest ethnolo-
gists. have never agreed that this is so.
It is therefore not unnatural that the
Mohammedans should kill a few Ameri-
cans; it is human nature—look at China,
and at Chicago!”

Moslem culture embodies many great
€ssons for Christians to learn, and Chris-
tiatfty has many in turn for the Moslems.
Moderii life is give and take.. We might
even find that’there are gentlemen among
the despicable Turks!



Rowing Against a Stop Watch
Oxford and Cambridge women held a
race on the Isis recently which the Ox-
ford crew won. Since the University au-
thorities do not approve of competitive
athletics for women, each crew raced
against a stop-watch. The judges also
considered form, The time over the half
mile course was Cambridge: 3.51 seconds,

for Oxford: 3.36.

foreword suggests that it is to progress.
Unfortunately, the book is a romance
and a poor one at that. The hero is a

falls in love, and, strangely enough, mar-
ries a chorus girl from a Broadway
revue. The rest of the book is precisely
