Formata Travels Far, Only
- to Lose, 5-2, to Varsity

Only Varsity’s superior bulk gave it
the victory over Formata School from
Aiken, North Carolina, in “the very inter-
esting lacrosse’ gime played Saturday
afternoon, December 17.

The Formata team played a consist-
ently better game than Varsity.. They
ran faster, they kept the ball in the
air more, they passed and. caught bétter.
and were more skillful in> gettjng past
their guards. Varsity, however, thanks
tor the good defense work of Swan and
Freeman, and the accurate catching and
passing of Bethel, managed to run up
a pretty good score. Hirschberg, pre-
senting well-padded portions of herself
-to the ball, made a truly formidable
goal, The final score was 5-2.

The teams were as follows:

Varsity—K. Hirschberg, ‘30; H
Tuttle, 28; C. Henry, '29**; F. Bethel,
28; M. Fowler, ’28, Capt.; S. Long-
streth, ’30*; S. etloms '29**; A. Bruere,
728; CGC. Swan, : 4) Huddleston, ‘98;
B. Freeman, 9 "ie Littlehale, ’30.

Formata—Bishop; . Kernochan; Cald-
well*; Chisholm; Hecksher; Weeks;
Whigham*, Capt.; Wilds; Lee; Mar-
shall; Hollins; Powning.

had aged during the eighteen years while
Theresa was growing up; but perhaps
time does not have a very strong influ-
ence in a convent. The Doctor, Mary
Lambert, was particularly good in this
act; in the first, she was a bit too much
the gallant Don Jose, but the eighteen
years left their imprint, and while she
did not seem nearly eighty, she did give
the impression, a difficult thing to do,
that she was a great deal older than be-
fore.
Hepburn Excellent as Theresa

Katherine Hepburn, as Theresa, was so
extraordinarily lovely to. look at that it
was difficult to form any judgment on
her acting. Her voice had, perhaps, too
much of the childish treble, but her little
movements, her poses, and the contrast
of her ‘gaiety with the restrained atmos-
phere of the convent, could not have been
improved. She and Margaret Barker

carried this act entirely, although the

Vicaress contributed to the tragedy of
the parting by the effect it had upon her;
she became a much more lovable char-
acter in this act.

‘Whe —scene_1n—which—Antonio spoke
from behind the grill dragged somewhat.
but this may have been because only a
small section of the audience could see
more than the tip end of his ‘nose. He
had been praised to such an extent by
Theresa, that his actual presence seem-
ed an anti-climax. Apart from this, the
play never. lost in interest, it moved
quietly on a high artistic plane, and in
every way fullfilled the hopes of the
committee when they chose it for “in-
formal presentation.” Informal seems to
have meant only that no professional
coach assisted, but the results obtained
under Magdalen Hupfel’s direction lead
one to believe that Varsity Dramatics is
better off when it depends only on its
own resources. Virginia Fain, too, is °o

Book Review
Some People, Harold Nicolson, Loridon,
Constable & Co.

“Many of the following sketches are
purely imaginary,” Nicolson says at
the beginning of “Some People.” : But
one wonders whether this is truth or
diplomacy. He observes his nine char-
acters so fully, and satirizes them with
such quiet gusto. ‘They correspond to
various” stages in his life, beginning
with his governess and ending with
the unpleasant lady who nearly went
along with him into Persia. In_ be-
tween .are_a public school hero, a
decadent of the 1890's, a literary mar-
quis who made a vocation of snob-
bishness, the mistress of a Bohemian
salon, an unsuccessful diplomat, a too
successful journalist, and an English
statesman’s — valet. An __ interesting
group—and almost too queer to have
been imagined! They are all more or

‘less connected with the diplomatic

service, and all reflect the author’s
state of mind, when he knew them.

His sense of humor is never more

| delightful than when turned against

himself, against his own affectation
which rejoiced in the “mauveness” of
Lambert Orme, or against his spiteful
pleasure in disconcerting the all-wise
Professor Malone. He is not at all
hard-hearted, for all his relish in
selecting fatal details; ironic sympathy
makes him more indulgent, toward
other people at least, than would any
amount of serious-mindedness.

His style fits his themes—a little

-manneréd, very gay, apparently inicon-

sequential and actually disciplined. He
has a fine: sense for the charm of
words, for pictures of groups, for ab-
surdity, for climax in little things. He
characterizes. externals in a few
words:

“He had a peculiar way of speak-
ing; his sentences.came in little splash-
ing pounces; and then from time to
time he would hang on to a word as if
to steady himself; he would say ‘Simply
too shattering for words,’ the phrase
being a stutter with a wild clutch at
the banister of “for. He was very
shy.”

Foreign Students.

Representatives of leadiiig English and
Continental universities are coming to the
United States to study, reversing the
usual migration of scholars from the
United States, according to the report
of Dean Fleming West, of the Princeton
Graduate College.

During the present year 20 students
with visiting fellowships from other uni-
versities and foundations have been ad-
mitted to the Princeton Graduate Col-
lege. Among the institutions represented
are the Universities of Oxfor, Cam-
bridge and Paris, the Commonwealth
Fund, the National Research Council,
the International Education Board, the
Carnegie Corporation, the Commission
for the Relief of Belgium and other
bodies.

Value of Student Activities

“Basperiences. derived: from participa-
tion in student activities are considered
least valuable by alumni, according to the
results shown in a survey taken by Prof.
Charles E. Watkeys, director of statis-
tics,” reports the Campus, of Rochester
College. It is reported unofficially that
the news caused several nervous preak-
downs in the ranks of present student
leaders.

Training in methods dealing with facts
and problems were placed first by the

amen, and the foundation of a liberal edu-

cation, second, as the most valuable hold-
overs from college days. The women
reversed the order,
placed student activities, acquisition of
information and vocational courses at the
bottom of the scale.

Our Doctor Hart

You may think that Sunday night is a
pretty bad time to have a Vesper service
with one-of the best speakers we'll have
this year, and so did we at first. But
now that we've thought it over, we're
convinced that Hornell Hart is just the
man to speak after a college Prom. for
he can settle all the perplexing questions
you ask him about you, and the masca-
line. Sleepy as you may be after your
hilarious week-end, you'd better drag
around to Vespers and, hear Dr. Hart
And you who aren’t going to Prom have
your problem just the same—not only
problems of men, but of other girls and
your families. Qr. Hart..can give you
the most sensible afer on any of these

News from Other Colleges
Hope for America Rests with Students

“If you’ cannot liberalize the student
there is no hope for America.” This is
Bertrand Russell’s word to the colleges.

‘More than that it is a challenge to the

students jn these colleges, for the British
philosopher placed the growth of Amer-
ican liberalism in the light of the world’s
one great hope for peace.

“Liberals in the United States need to
realize,” he added, “that America domi-
nates the world. To liberalize the United
States is to liberalize the world. Liberals
elsewhere feel this keenly and it explains
their intense interest in the Sacco-Van-
zetti case.”

Of the dominating ideas in the Amer-
ican Universities the man who wrote
Education and the Good Life saitl this:

“In the private universities it is the
wishes of the: millionaires from whom
they seek endowments. In the. State
universities it is the persons. I like the
millionaires better. ° The Eng-
lish universities are more liberal than
those in America. For one thing they are
self-governing, and they are so old that
they no longer need to be responsive to
public opinion, They need not worry
about losing their respectability. Be-
cause of their age and long-established

position, no matter what they do they
remain respectable.” Bertrand Russel!
knows. “Respectability” has barred him

more than once from universities both
in England and America.

In speaking of the Russian progress

in the field of mathematics, even though

“it is not popular or Marxist subject,”
the Englishman, himself an outstanding
mathematician, told of meeting aboard
ship a Russian professor of mathematics.
This man remarked that a professorial

| suggestion to his Bolshevist students that

mathematics might be studied, and hold
an interest apart from political or eco-
nomic doctrines, was met with jeers and
the suggestion that the teacher’s mind
might be unsound.

x ok

The strong present Russian bent
toward practical training is analogous
to the growth of vocational training in
American colleges, said Russell, adding
“there is too much emphasis in America
on work. It is the leisure time that is
important. Work serves no _ purpose.
Americans do not work to eat; they eat
to work.” —The New Student.



RUTHS AND RAHABS

the shortcomings of one are irritating
to the other,” said Dr. Coffin emphasizg
his points with force and intense ges-
tures. “The Rahabs insist that the Ruths
be born again and see God. The Ruths
desfise the celestial intimacies of the

Rahabs because they do not become
socially minded. The Ruths make bet-
ter friends but the Rahabs are the

world’s seers and are often so preoc-
cupied with God that they forget man
He who came of the lineage of both
saw both in His life. Both Ruths and
Rachabs find the God they need in Him:
Rahab finds a Savior and Ruth a fel-
low-worker; both are typical of any
group in our Jericho. The fundamental
belief of Chiistianity is that the clue to
the universe ¥s to be found in Christ. If
we believe this) we must conspire with
Him and in that alliance find ourselves
new creatures; We wish: to be true
friends and loyal citizens, but this is not
enough; we must will it. Only when
we combine the faith of Rahab with the
“steadfast mind of Ruth can we be
lifted from selfishness into a love equal
to His own.”

these. Since it must exclude some
candidates, such a college might de-
cide to refuse admission to candidates
from the lowest quarter of the psycho-

logical tests, even though it would)

thus exclude two candidates who
could be expected to do work above
the average in order to exclude six can-
didates who coutd be expected to do
work below the average and two can-
didates who could be expected to
withdraw without * graduating.”

is definitely skilful, especially in Miss
Leonard’s Aytumn, where a fine choice
of words and the variation in the length

*% the lines create the: author’s mood in

spité of the obscurity of her thought.
Miss McKelvey’s Fence has a clever .met-
rical scheme; sometimes impeded by an
awkward juxtaposition of consonants.
The Ghost and Miss Bigelow’s Poem are
delicate fancies, but lacking in real mu-
sic, and mannered in imagery. The En-
chanting Mower, after a nondescript
opening, achieves three good lines at the

ent,

The best work in the magazine is Miss
Fesler’s poetry, Song and Bittersweet.
The Song, though a little diffuse, is pleas-
antly musical in form, and appealing in
theme. In _ Bittersweet, however, form
and feeling unite to create'a fine impres-
sion—of fire attd light and the bitter-
sweetness of life.

The conclusion might be drawn in
reading this Lantern that literary skill is
more abounding in the college than depth
of feeling; that technique has outstripped
experience. Yet the number makes pleas-
ant reading, and shows promise for the
rest of the year.
