“Feminists; hold yourselves in!”

” So. we were
warned, and very ‘rightly, by Dr. Thomas’
Frederick Tout,
launch into a discussion of “The Placé
‘of Mediaeval Women in the Civilization
of the Later Middle Ages,” which was
the corrected title of: the speech which

as he'was about to

‘day evening.

Professor- Tout, who has spent years,
as he -said, wandering—thr.. tthe -ae-
ministrative history of the 13th and 14th
centuries in England, was struck by the

absence of the appearance of ‘women in|,

the households of mediaeval kings and

-potentates, where domestic and adminis-

trative duties were carried out by the

same hand. To a mind “interested in

»-woman-kind, -and--possessed~ with quite

unmediaeval ideas as to their possibilities,
it seemed surprising thatthe only women
employed in the household of Edward

were his washerwomen. The same was

true in the establishments of queens~and-

great heiresses, although these in their
youth sometimes had a. magistra, who
taught them etiquette and accomplish-
ments, and acted as .guide, philosopher
and friend. .Some of these magistrae
were very distinguished women,’ like
Catherine of Swifford, who became the
second wife of John of Gaunt.

Music in Air Draws Stu-

They wére three musicians. They
came and went as suddenly and unbe-
lievably as a dream. It was the Bryn
‘Mawr campus, Thursday .- afternoon,
March the 8th, at about three o’clock.

The sun shone ‘in a cold March. way;

the students were at their books. Then
all at once time and place were as noth-
ing. The campus became the glens of
Cithaeron or,the streets of Hamlin town,
and the time was eternal spring. All
because Mr. Tony P., of No. 622 Annin
street, Philadelphia, with his two assist-
ants, paid a visit to the college, at: the
request of the Misses Merrill, Houck,
and Gutierman, who met them in the
village and brought them home.

it the god Pan? The first brave adven-
turer slunk shamefacedly to the door;
another ‘followed. , Then books were:

“slammed down, chairs overturned, ink-

‘wells upset in a wild stampede for the

sounds. Crowds. were on the library
steps to receive the strange procession
which now. advanced along the walk.
First came the musicians, three in num-

an accordion; an older man with a
moustache, and an accordion; and then
the man with-the horn, the wonderful,
glorious horn, from whose soaring mel-

Goya Exhibition at ‘the
Print Club of Interest

-An ,unusually interesting exhibition of
etchings at the Print Club marks the
centennial of the death of Franciscode



- dents from ChimneyCorner: Goya y Lucientes. Goya is perhaps best }

known by the two canvases of “The
Maya Clothed,” and “The Maya Nude;”
his etchings, however, are of almost
equal impextance. These were issued in
four series, the earliest of which is Los
Caprichos—gwhims wherein the artist set
down his commentary on Spanish life.
His. point of view was pre-eminently
satiric, and no one is spared; in these
fantacies he attacks equally the church,
the court, his mistress and* mankind.
Los Poverbos, another series, has_ the
same general theme,-with the addition of
some hideous attacks on marriage. © The
plates abound with grotesques of every
description—monkgy with distorted faces,
winged and: clawing creatures, old hags
tind -teering rakes—they are the inhabi-
tants of some nightmare world.

r, drawn from his own experience
when. Muret brought a French army ‘into.
Madrid and put Joseph Bonapart on the
throne of Spain, shows all the horrors
that accompany an invasion. Among
them is “Les Soldats et Le Fantome,”
unrivalled for purity of design, and
fraught with symbolical meaning.

The most. interesting, and the most
typically Spanish series, is La Tauroma-
quia, showing scenes of bull fights. For
a time in his youth Goya himself had
performed in the ring, and his etchings]
show an intimate knowledge of the posi-
tions and movements of men, bulls and
horses.. Like Ernest -Hemingway, he
makes you feel that you are -actually
present at the corhbat. ‘The isolated -fig-
ures of bulls and man ‘stand out in the
ring against’ the background of an infi-
nite audience: For movement, mass and
composition this series is unsurpassed.

‘The Print Club has performed ‘a val-
uable service in gathering together this
most inclusive collection of etchings ; its
lexhibition offers an extraordinary oppor-
tunity to view comprehensively the work
of one of Spain’s. most gifted artists.

‘(Specially contributed by Dr. M,. H.

_ The..March Lantern may be read for
pleasure without any feeling of apology
for local talent. This has not always
been the case with all issues of:=the
Lantern! At-last the note of restless,
unsatisfied yearning .and of incipient
decadence seems-to have left us and in its

Most of the contributions ‘ring true” and
give us some feeling of the pleasure of
the writers in the creation of their work.

The palm goes to’ Miss Mitchell for her
story of the sporting parson who was
“acquired C. O .D.” She has achieved
quite a “horsey” atmosphere and al-
though we cannot conceive of any com-
munity in Fundamentalist America which
could have produced this sporting blood
in the domain of religion we are quite
willing to accept the situation because of
the fine humor which it produces. Humor

College for Special Work
- Founded at Bennington

The_plans_tor the new college at Ben-
nington, Vermont, were described to, us
by Miss Park in chapel on Monday
morning. In spite of the advisability of
a college president’s saying nothing for
the fitst two years of office, it is inev-
itable that a new college, traveling hith-
erto untrodden ways, should make’ some
definite statement. This.is specially true
when, as in this case, -the endowment
must be increased before the opening -of
the college. The college is to be-located
at. Bennington because many of those
who have contribited to it live there or
nearby and it is in accordance with their
wishes. It seems unfortunate’ to have
put a college in such an isolated spot,
five~or six hours from either Boston or
New York, in a climate that is extremely
severe during the winter, the business
time of a college. However the authori-
ties expect to overcome this last. diff-

culty to some extent by having a long

vacation in mid-winter, two- “ghonths or
possibly ten weeks, and a short one of a
month or so in the summer. |

Dr. Robert Devore Lee,, who. now
holds a chair in Government—good ex-
perience for a college .president—at Wil-
liams, has been chosen as ident. The
student body, limited ‘to five hundred,

practice for this...But. the college
paper should be something -moré
than a rowing machine; something.
more than a bulletin-board, too. It
should reflect, as far as possible, the
minds of those who write it, and
indeed of all the students in the
college. It should, through its edi-
torials, its reviews, its quotations
ffom other publications, indicate
and, to a certain extent, direct: the
interests of the student body. And

even beyond this it should present

To the Editors of the Co.itce News:

1. was very much pleased to see that
someone has taken enough interest in
the problem of Sunday chapel to write
you a letter about it. H. F. McK. has
analyzed the situation successfully when
she “states that the reason for “non-at-
‘tendance is largely inertia. However,
the remedy she suggests seems a bit
extreme. I feel that she has passed over
too lightly the fact that “required re-
ligion” is no réligion at all. Will those

of toleration and freedom of worship
consent to the-exertion- of such pressure?
Moreover, required chapel, even if only
once a month, would mean such endless
bookkeeping, cut cards and mechanical
devices that it would hardly be worth
the effort. Is there no other remedy?
Surely there must, be someone in col-
lege with enough ingenuity to think up
a way to mould public opinion. Would
not a little strong feeling in the matter
Jresult. in the millennium ‘of voluntary
attendance ?

Dear Lady Lot,

Your attempts to probe into the litér-
ary life of the Wardens has, with two
exceptions, proved futile. From this |
surnrise that either they have no literary

‘propensities, or else. they are. bashful
about expressing. their © intellectual
thoughts. 1 cannot, indeed, I dare not,

think it possible that there are those liv-
ing in this‘ learned atmosphere who are
frittering away their time in meditation
upon inconsequential subjects.

Of -course I realize that the warderts
are the “college mothers” and that in.

domestic difficulties.
while. you are frivolously developing
your intellectual lives along the lines. of
diction, art, and politics, your “college
mothers” are pondering over your. gen-
eral deficiencies.

“Why are they not more ecouciaicak’
y

mothers’ gathering.’

“What they really need is three, min-
utes a day of silent prayer!” declares an-
other sturdy upholder of the faith.
