Marriner Considers
Beethoven as Titan,
- Music Erhancipator



Expression of Emotion, Thought

_ Is of Primary ng osegy

in Beethoven Musi



FORMAL INNOVATIONS
IN AIR VARIATIONS



-Mr. Guy Marriner opened his lev-

ture-recital on Beethoven the Titan

Tuesday afternoon in the Deanery. by
playing the second movement, Adagio
cantabile, from Beethoven’s Pathetique
Sonata. It was the third lecture in
a series tracing the development. of
piano-forte music through the works
of its greatest exponents. Beethoven
was a titan of art and the emanci-
pator of music. With him the thoughts
and the emotions were of first import-
ance, the form was secondary. He
broke through the limits of form im-
posed by Mozart and the earlier mas-
ters to express himself and humanity
with a power and imagination that
eternally widens the hearer’s sphere of
emotions and experience.

a Beethoven was born in Bonn on the
Rhine in 1770 and spent 40 years in
Vienna until his death in 1827. These
were storm-swept years of general so-
cial, political, philosophical, and artis-
tic revolution, and the spirit of this
awakening of man to his emotional
and intellectual possibilities is embod-
ied in :‘Béethoven. Both. his musical
and personal lives were rich and var-
ied, but they were overshadowed from
the age of thirty by his gradual loss
of hearing, which ended five years
before his death in total deafness, so
that he had to look at his audience
to see if it was applauding. His piano
sonatas comprise the New Testament
as contrasted to Old Testament in
Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavichord, and
in this series extending over his whole
lifetime he reveals his own life, emo-
tions, and feelings, and proves him-
self, a master of the piano.

There were three phases in the mu-

Varsity Wins Second
League Championship



The Bryn Mawr second team
clinched the championship of the
second team league in-an exciting
game on Monday afternoon against
the Philadelphia Cricket Club. Blacks,
who were tied with the Yellow and
White combination before the start
of the game, which ended with a
score of 2-1. The play was fast and
hard throughout, although it took
both sides some time to warm up.

To the Varsity defense should go
a large measure of praise for its out-
standing part _in the victory. They
played with their usual vigor and in-
dividual effectiveness, but in addition,
were quite good at getting passes
through to their own forwards and in
anticipating the intentions of the op-
posing line. The forwards were not
so effective as in past games, particu-
larly in the first half, when at least
two easy shots were missed. It must
be remembered .that they were play-
ing against an extremely strong de-
fense, and one which marked very

closely. This meant that there had

to be more passing and co-operation
between the forwards and fewer indi-
vidual plunges down the field.

During the second half the for-

_.wards-seemed to realize the necessity

for a change in tactics, and began a
concerted drive on the Black’s goal;
this resulted in a pretty shot by Bake-

_ well, who was playing left inner. Bryn

Mawr was now in the lead two goals
to: one. The play surged back and
forth as each team made repeated
efforts to score again. The match
led with the ball safely in mid-
d after a rather dangerous attack
Kthe Bryn Mawr goal, which had
sidelines in breathless suspense
fear that the tying tally might
cored. The second team is to be
ratulated on its excellent record
and on the winning of a

Alumnae’Council Held
on College Grounds



Fund for Science Building Is
Debated, Scholarship Fund

Has Increased



URGE CAMPUS CONTACT



The Alumnae Council meeting of
the past week brought both Under-
graduates and Alumnae to an under-
standing of the importance of the re-
lationship of the college as it now
is, to the Alumnae. The Council has
always been an organization designed
specifically to consider the welfare
of Bryn Mawr from the impartial
view of the outsider and at the same
time the interested point of view of
the graduate. The interests in the
Alumnae Council have always center-
ed in the activities on the Bryn Mawr
campus: the first meeting of an
Alumnae body in 1920 was held to
raise funds to increase faculty sal-
aries and thereby insure the bringing
of the most able men and women ‘to
Bryn Mawr as professors.

This year’s Alumnae Council meet-
ing naturally has meant more to the
Undergraduates as well as to the
thirty members on the Council, be-
cause it met on the campus. It met
to discuss the means by which to
raise one million dollars for a new
Science building, to report on the
successes in providing funds for Re-
gionalScholarships, and to seek new
ways by which Alumnae might be
kept better informed of the college
and more closely in touch with the
actual staff of Bryn Mawr.

The reports of the District Council-
lors on their work in providing funds
for scholarship students and their
methods of choosing scholars from
their districts show their generous
and thoughtful attitude in regard to
Bryn Mawr Undergraduate activity.
In almost every report. an optimistic
note predominated, and in the few in-
stances where there was mention of
difficulty, an opposing determinativn
was evident. The results were in all
cases -splendid, and showed an un-
flagging zeal and work for Under-
graduate scholarships.

The scholarship situation is much
more encouraging than it was last
year; in 1933-34 120 out of the total
Undergraduate “registration of 385
were on scholarships; this year only
106 out of 388 students are on schol-
arships. This ratio of scholarship to
non-scholarship students for 1934-35
more nearly approaches the norm, al-
though there is still much demand
and need for funds. In the face of
this. situation, one of the district
councillors, for example, reports:
“We have very little trouble* getting
our money, as we have. extraordin-
arily loyal and interested chairmen in
our various well-organized districts.
Each district makes a pledge and
then proceeds to collect, or give
bridge parties or concerts, or have old

ACTING



The four plays presented at Good-
hart Saturday evening were of -vary-
ing types atld were extremely enter-
taining. There were, in order: a
play concerned with the supernatural,
The Karsitch, by Diana Tate-Smith,
35; a dramatic pantomime,. Benito,
by Margaret Kidder, ’35; a fantas-
tic romance, Olim, by Mollie Nich-
ols, ’34, and a melodrama, Bianca
or The Poisoned Cup, by Louisa May
Aleott. The casting was good, the
scenery adequate, and the _ plays
themselves most amusing.

The Karsitch is a warning to all
Bryn Mawr students who are inclin-
ed to consider facts before phantoms.
The story of four people engaged
in scientific research concerning mys-
tic rites, it shows the dire fate in
store for those who refuse to ac-
knowledge the existence of the super-
natural. Marian, the Bryn Mawr
graduate, played by Alicia Stewart,
two other factual females, played by
Margaret Veeder and _ Elizabeth
Washburn, and Marian’s husband,
glayed by Margaret Honour, use in-
cantation—or invocation?—to arouse
the mysterious Karsitch. Their ef-
forts ‘are successful — far more so
than they had dreamed of—and they
are dragged one by one realistically
off the stage by the invisible mon-
ster, as a result of this curiosity.

Marian is the last to feel the effects
of the research, and as she is pulled
off, she shows her true Bryn Mawr
spirit by gazing intently at a large
book and ignoring all else. The in-
vocation scene, too, was especially ‘ef-
fective: the unbelievers skipped mad-
ly about a bucket of water, waving
and _ repeating
“Iskavitch Karsitch!” in tones rising
from a whisper to a shriek.

The dialogue of The Karsitch is
extremely entertaining, leading up to
the climax effectively. By the con-
versation, the characters are portray-
ed satirically and amusingly. The
play’s action is swift, its plot con-
struction well-knit, and the whole is

an interesting and screamingly fun-|.

ny piece of dramatic writing.

Miss Kidder’s pantomime, Benito,
offered a new method of solving mur-
ders, through the agency of a parrot,
We are now firmly convinced that if
everyone had a parrot as an insep-
arable companion, there would be no
more unsolved murders. The char-
acters were: First Actress, Gerta
Franchot; The Parrot, Doreen Can-
aday; Benito, Miss Kidder, and Sec-
ond’ Actress, Josephine Ham. Miss
Franchot is especially to be commend-
ed. Her movements and her varying
inflections of “Benito,” the one spok-
en word in the ‘play, were extremely
praiseworthy. Miss Canaday made a
most, realistic parrot, playing a diffi-
cult role quite well, and her imitation
of parrot-noises was highly convin-
‘cing.

Benito is a _ well-written nento-
mime, At no point does the interest
of the audience lag, and the climax
is extremely effective and unexpect-
ed. The idea contained in it is un-
usual.

Olim, by Molly Nichols, is the story
of a girl who is kept firmly tied to her
family’s apron strings. She is made

to sew ceaselessly until her longings

for a greater world are. forced, ap-
parently forever, between embroidery
rings. Finally she is rescued by a
persuasive Gardener Boy, played by
Barbara Merchant, and leaves her
parents sitting in stolid astonishment
‘at her choice.

Olim does not seem to us to be up

to the standard of the other plays.

Senate Handles Cases
of Failures, Overcutting



For the benefit of those curious in-
dividuals who are somewhat.in doubt
as to the function and composition of
the Senate we should like to announce
that the Senate is a separate body
from the Faculty. All full professors
who have been in the college for more
than three years besides the Dean and
the President are members. There are
two standing committees reappointed
each year, the Executive and the Ju-
dicial, who meet and carefully con-
sider individual cases before reporting
or making any recommendations to
the Senate as a whole. The Senate
and its committees have to deal only
with the academic life of the students.

The Executive Committee handles
almost all matters of deficient work
on the part of the students. Cases of
failures, conditions, failure to get the
required merits, overcutting more than
four classes are among those consid-
ered by the Executive Committee. Not
every case brought before the com-
mittee is reported to the Senate. The
Senate then, acting on the recommen-
dations of the Committee, issues warn-
ings or special penalties, such as can-
cellation of work or expulsion in ex-
treme cases of cutting. In cases in-
volving the requirements for the de-
gree of Bachelor of Arts the Faculty]
as a whole acts.

The Judicial Committee of the Sen-
ate handles only regulations involving
written work. It is these rules con-
cerning plagarism, cheating, and copy-
ing of’ another’s work that are read
before each examination period.

The point system of office holding
and its enforcement comes ,under the
administration of the Undergraduate
Association, while problems d¢oficern-
ing the extra-curricular work of cer-
tain cases is generally handled direct-
ly by the Dean’s office, although they
can be referred to the Senate if neces-
sary.

Mrs. Dean Reviews
European Prospects
of Peace and War



Nazi Foreign Policy and Italian(\,

Attitude to League Cause
~ New Alignments

SMALL STATE FREEDOM
UNFAVORABLE TO WAR



The foreign policy of Nazi Ger-
many, which-aims to include all Ger-
man-speaking peoples in the Third
Reich, has sharpened the struggle be-
tween the revisionist and status quo
countries of Europe and produced far-
reaching readjustments in the Euro-
pean balance of power, stated Mrs.
Vera M. Dean in her lecture on Eu-
rope: Peace or War? delivered No-
vember 12, the third of the Anna How-
ard Shaw lecture series. This strug-
gle has been bitterly waged .around
the League of Nations, regarded by
both groups as the last bulwark
against revision of the peace treaties.
The struggle also represents a funda-

mental conflict between the methods -

of an_ international organization
founded on democratic assumptions,
and the foreign policies of states com-
mitted to authoritarian doctrines.
The Nazi foreign policy has occa-
sioned fears of war generally through-
out Europe, despite Hitler’s avowed
policy of peace, and the withdrawal
from or demands for reorganization
of the League by Fascist governments
have occasioned not only the forma-
tion of regional groups of small states
removed as far as possible from the
influence of the great powers, but the
attempts on the part of the great pow-
ers to win the support of one or more
of these régional groups. The situa-
tions ip the Saar, in Austria, Hun-
gary and Poland, and the allegiances

of the Little Entente, the Balkan bloc.

and the Baltic state bloc, of Bulgaria
and Albania, are matters of immense
concern to Germany, France, Italy and
Russia.

The European situation looks as
troubled as it looked in 1914, domi-
nated as it is by doctrines of extreme
nationalism and territorial expansion,
and threatened by the vast powers of
dictatorial governments. But the de-
sire of numerous small and newly-cre-

Biology Department Needs Funds and Room
Because of Increased Experimental Study



The Biology Department needs op-
portunity to make use of the equip-
ment and the teaching facilities it
now has and to develop more ade-
quate facilities. Bryn: Mawr must
be a place, as Dr, Welch, of Johns
Hopkins, wrote tothe Alumnae Bul-
letin in 1938, where- women can be
“well trained in the natural and physi-
cal sciences as teachers, assistants,
technicians, and special workers.”

The Department of Biology wants
to safeguard the facilities it now has,
but to modernize and improve these
facilities. The Department has a
green house, in which to em" plants,
csuvseyviugical material, and cultures
of protozoa. For several.years, how-
ever, the green house has been out
of repair. During the winter, snow
melts on the roof, and the icy water
drips in through it and kills the ex-
perimental material. ;

For the courses in Physiology, the

in which to keep animals under ex-
periment. There is one small room on
the top floor of Dalton, which would
be excellent for the work of one per-
son. It is now used by Dr. Tennent’s
students as well as Dr. Blanchard’s,
and is greatly overcrowded.

The department has a library, with
a particularly valuable collection of
scientific journals. Almost all the
money the department has for books
is spent on these journals, so that it
is impossible to buy works on separate
subjects. Also, the books in the Dal-
ton biological library are being dam-
aged by the water which constantly
pours down through the ceiling, be-
cause the plumbing is faulty.





Some years ago, the students of Bi-
ology were given a very fine collec-
tion of birds and bird skins. There
is no place to exhibit them; there is
not even a place to keep them in good
condition. They are simply packed
away as safely as possible, and there-
fore are of no use to anyone.

The department does work in micro-
photography in connection with its ex-
perimental work. Increased facilities
for this work are greatly needed.

Since Biology was first taught at
Bryn Mawr, the method of presenta-
tion of. the subject has changed: at
fusv it was whvoliy descriptive; now it
is largely experimental. The depart-
ment needs more space and more
equipment to offer undergraduate stu-
dents work in tissue culture, bacteri-
ology, and biophysics, which would
entail the employment of several new
instructors. Besides the new work
in bacteriology and biophysics, the
work-of-the-bio-ehemistry-and_ physi-
ology courses should be extended.

The work in Biology was started at
Bryn Mawr by a member of the orig-
inal faculty, Dr. Edmund B. Wilson,

now Professor Emeritus at Columbia.-

He was interested from the beginning
in requiring laboratory as well as lee-

ture work. Dr. Wilson was succeed- .

ed by Dr. Thomas Hunt Morgan, who
taught here in the field of experimen-
tal zodlogy from 1891 to 1904, and who
is now working in Pasadena on “germ
plasm as the bearer of hereditary
characters.” In 1891, Miss Thomas
brought a brilliant teacher to the Bryn
Mawr Biology Department, Dr.

Jacques Loeb, of Zurich. He was here

a | Enough is Enough is Enough

of occupying leisure time intelligently, but of occupying our time at
all. We feel that the problem is a serious and highly aggravated one
in college. When we consider that we are required to spend only
j forty hours per week—a mere workingman’s week—on our courses, and
= that besides these forty hours we have only reports, conferences, gen-
= eral reading, attendance on lectures designed to ‘keep us up in world
a affairs, the slight duties of informing our family and friends of our
well-being through the U. S. mails, and the simple obligations of eat-
ing and sleeping, we wonder no longer at the fact that time hangs
heavy and that we are at a complete loss as to how to spend our off
moments to.advantage. Therefore, we rise with suggestions for the
occupation of the college girl’s shining hours.

First of all we should suggest perusal of the telephone ditectory.
Anyone acquainted with the reference room in the library will find
therein directories provided all of the large cities in the country. Each
directory has several million names in it, addresses,accompanying the
names and enough telephone numbers to fascinate the mind for at least
a few hours. The directories en masse provide an almost inexhaustible
fund of material for thought which: may be approached in. different

. ways. The individual may find it interesting to discover relatives of
the same name in different metropoles, or a more interesting and objec-
tive study may be. made of all of the inhabitants of the country whose
names begin with X.

Secondly, and without undue effort, leisure time may be put to
profit and enjoyment by perusal of the Public Notices and Classified
Advertisements. to be found in the numbers of the New York Times

which came out during the previous decade. Changing styles in

a writing may thus be surveyed, and a certain historical perspective

gained to the aspiring journalistic efforts of our day.

Thirdly, penmanship may be cultivated as a hobby. With little
expense a Palmer method handbook may be obtained which will make
even the amateur an expert in drawing circles and up-and-down marks

of the utmost beauty and symmetry. If the person in question does
not take to handwriting—or in the event that he knows too much of

learning to make designs with the typewriter. The inquirer will find
that asterisks, ampersands, and colons can be employed for eminently
decorative purposes.

The more active and inventive may seek to indulge in a fourth
vecupation: the devising of match and ecard tricks to dazzle the par-
lor and outwit the feeble minded. This hobby will eventually fit the
performer to become a detective or a murderer, if she should seek an

@



avocation.

This, of course, is a brief and incomplete list of possibilities for the
use of leisure time between quizzes and reports. Should anyone be at
a loss for employment and should she come to us for further sugges-
tions, we would be glad to furnish more ideas. This service that we
offer is our avocation and our contribution to community life.



























Clemence Dane’s adaptation of Ros-
tand’s play, and concerns the efforts
of Mane-ihiesrcss t- keep from the
ears of Napoleon’s son the glorious

story of his father’s life. There are
three great moments in the play: the
first occurs when the boy, unable to
contain himself any longer, reveals to
his mother and Metternich his knowl-
edge of Napoleon’s deeds; the second
occurs when he is apprehended in an
attempted flight, and. addresses in so-
liloquy the ghosts of his father’s
troops, while-the answering shouts of
the long-dead gréenadiers resound from
every side of the ‘theatre; and the
third is L’Aiglon’s death scene, when
he knows at last that the power and
glory of his immortal father will
never‘be revived by him.

It is a really great play. The act-

News of the New York Theatres
The appearan-e of L’Aiglon on the
New York stage lays another corner-
stone in the foundation of an excel-
lent theatrical season. It is with good
reason that we state it to be a beau-
tiful piece of staging in line, acting,
and drama, for audience after audi-
ence,.each more enthusiastic than the
last, found it so. After the notorious,
and highly amusing episode of an un-
__ladylike tiff last season between Eva
_..._ Le Gallienne and Philadelphia’s out-
_raged Colonial Dames, it was believed
that Philadelphia would assert its con-
tinued disapproval of that lady’s the-
atrical adventures by abstaining from
patronizing them. But so absorbing
did L’Aiglon in actuality prove to be;
that Philadelphia descended -from ‘its
disapproval and attended in droves.
Furthermore, those who had come the
first time a trifle dubiously, all set to
sneer if possible, could not be restrain-
ed from turning up a second and even
_ & third time in order to exhaust all
the resources of the play. :

As it is now presented, L’Aiglon is

bitious and proud young boy, is ably
supported by the acting of Ethel Bar-

OF A COOLISH SATURDAY

She stood on the station platform.
The wind snapped her shoe laces
back like elastics and shined her nose
till the scant trees around were
ashamed to see their nudity reflect-
ed in it. Her hair suffered a bit,
too, crumpling up in fear of the
wind’s cold, angry snatches. He was
to meet her there at the junction,
and then they would go to the game
after lunch. But he had not come,
and there she stood, tying herself
more and more into a. knot, from
cold, while the wind did its best to
untangle her again. At last she went
into the waiting room, where she
slowly expanded under the suffocat-
ing influence of a belligerant radi-
ator. She alone sat there on the
hard, black benches. Other shes
would step lightly off their trains
into the warm radiance of an es-
cort’s smile; but that was not for
her. She felt beyond the pale, sit-
ting there trying to decide which leg
over which looked the most “don’t
carish.” She powdered her mottled

of red across her bloodless lips.~ Still
no he. She rose and fished in her
purse for a few cents to try the in-
ner resources of the thing that
claimed to hold “Suchard’s Bittre-
Sweet Best.” She lit a cigarette,
much against her and her college’s
principles; but still what could one
do? It is so very hard to be purely
ornamental in a place where no one
is there to look at you. She began to
rival the radiator in sighing. She
snatched out her time-table and her
change purse, wondering whether
she should return from whence she
came and leave him flat for being
so careless, or call him up. She was
just weighing the question, with the
two. articles balamced in each hand
as if they were the dire scales of
Osiris, when he came leisuring in.
He trailed a cold wind behind him—
far less cold, however, than the gla-

ing.

“You—er—came early, didn’t you?
Er—um .. .,” he quavered. No an-
swer. He felt himself withering up
like a wormy fruit tree.

“It’s a great day for the game,”
he ventured to say. ‘You must have
taken the ten-forty-five to be here

so soon.” This came with the quick
eagerness that seeks to erase un-
pleasant things. It didn’t.

“I took the ten o’clock and you
know it!” Her lips that had barely
opened, shut with a click..

“Oh, no-o-o, I said the eleven
o’clock in my letter,” he assured her,
opening wide, vacant eyes of aston-
ishment.

“Tf you must scrawl so!” The rat-
tling window punctuated the frigid
silence- that followed. A-few scraps
of the chocolates’ covering spiralled
to the floor. He eyed them and he
eyed her. He smiled of a sudden,|
and said, with masculine buoyancy,
“Forget it! Come along, I’m
starved!”

as in “Mildred Aldrich Saturday,” the
sentence structure admits of no

“Mildred Aldrich or interested in

agraph. So we seem to get right back
where we started from, back to the|
egg and to nowhere at all.

Some of the pieces in Portraits and
Prayers are interesting for Miss
Stein’s personal reactions and ideas,
and are not, as are the majority of|
her works, open to absolutely individ-
ual interpretation. Among these are
the chapters on Matisse, Picasso and|
Hemingway, and the sections entitled

a very pretty theory, because it proves

into it. Unfortunately, however, he
has not had the opportunity of know- |

and we, as readers, feel cheated that
we in most cases miss even a second-
hand knowledge of the subjects of
Portraits and Prayers.

riet,” and the two chapters on J uan |
Gris. ..In each of these exemplary |
cases, some distinct impression or idea |
may be gleaned which has bearing.
upon the subject matter. She says of

it was something, certainly it had been

ing, a charming meaning, a_ solid
meaning, a struggling meaning, a

the life and death of Juan Gris, the;
expression of feeling regarding the in-|
nate quality of the man and of the,
Spaniard is quite clear:



|

“He had very |
early a very great attraction and love
for French culture. French culture!
has always seduced me he was fond
of saying.” Miss Stein’s seemingly
repetitious style in such instances’
makes for a very interesting develop-.
ment of idea that is gained by varia-|
tion of phrase. When the point she
is making is general, the personal turn)
of thought and reaction is compre- |
hensible, despite the peculiar structure
that is, if nothing more, a physical
obstruction in the reader’s way.
In most instances, however, we wish |
to report that we found ourselves in-
capable of grasping an idea at all.
Therefore, we offer various theories.
which have occurred to us. We shall.
prove none of the theories, nor shall
we even approve them. If we cannot,
comprehend, then we must rationalize
in self-defense. First of all, Miss:
Stein may be subtle and psychological.
Much as we may resent such treach-|
ery, we may be being hypnotized by
the authoress. Once hypnotized, the
idea may be that we will understand
a sentence like “By and by bite of a
better boat,” become transported and.
see mythological birds, beasts, fish |
and geometric figures. That is a psy-.
cnviugical possibility. Or perhaps, |
while we are still considering a psy-
chological explanation, we might pro-|
pose that the whole matter is connect- |
ed with modern methods for crime,
prevention, and is so. written as to
force from our sin-conditioned minds |
a full and unconscious confession of |
all misdeeds. We should be inclined,
however, to banish the thought that.
Miss Stein had any ulterior motive in
writing Portraits and Prayers.

Our second theory is that the book |
-was written during periods of insom- |
nia and, if examined closely, is really |
a statistical record of the number of
sheep counted on hours of wakeful
tossing. If this is the case, we _ be-
lieve that the Bureau of Weights and
Measures should’ mane a_ series of
graphs and start publishing a series
of books explaining and interpreting
Miss Stein’s work to the dear, but un-
discerning reading public. . ‘

‘Varsity’s Good Offense Routs

Alumnae; Phila. C. C. Shows
Fine Team Work



B. M. LACKS IN COHESION

On Thursday afternoon the .Var-
sity hockey team defeated a strong
Alumnae team, 6-1, after being held
to one goal in the first half. Varsity
was playing a fast offensive game, but
was unable to break through . the
Alumnae defense to score more than
once.’ In the second half, however,
the Alumnae began to waver as Bryn



Mawr again began to pound their de-

fense, ahd in spite of the excellent
work and cheering wards of. Collier,
Varsity swept through ‘for five goals.

_ We were especially glad to see so
many out for the game, but missed
the rest of the Alumnae, for whose
benefit the game was arranged.

Although the odds were against us
from the beginning, Varsity’s complete
defeat at the hands of the Philadel-
phia Cricket, 9-0, was a great sur-
prise, especially as this was the first
time that Bryn Mawr had not scored
a single goal against the opposing
team.

The Cricket Club team, the major-
ity of whom are All-Americans, or
possible candidates for the team,
swept immediately into a fast, strong
attack, which carried them the length
of the field to the cage, where the ball
was usually flipped in with an ease
and dexterity which Varsity might do
well to notice. Rarely was there an
attempt to score on a hard shot from
the circle, but by a series of short
passes, excellent stickwork and _ball-
handling, the ball was usually caged
on a short chip shot. Varsity was en-
tirely lost in the face of such tac-
tics and, although we maintained a
beautiful defense in the field, once
the ball was in scoring distance, Bryn
Mawr was lost before the clocklike
precision of the Philadelphia forward
line.

The Varsity offense, although ad-
mittedly up against it, still seemed,
however, to lack that cohesion and
sympathy as to intentions which it
evidenced earlier in the season. The
forward line will certainly have to
buck up to meet Swarthmore on Sat-
urday, beaten by Ursinus, but bent
an revenging their many losses last
the

year. Turn out all, for big

Reibeary Buys Books ee
, In Efficient Manner
“The organization of the library and

its method of buying books are about
as efficient and intelligently liberal as
possible. The organization as a whole
is generally well-known, but the way
in which we are provided with such
numbers of books is only vaguely un-.
derstood. It is nevertheless very in-
teresting.

The Library Committee is made up
of three members of the. Board of
Trustees, three Faculty members, the
President and the Librarian. This
committee meets twice a year, in the
fall and in the spring. The College
gives ‘the library a yearly fund of
about $15,000, which the committee
budgets and distributes among the va-
rious departments according to the
number of faculty and students in
each department. Thus the English
and History departments have the
largest. appropriations, while Biblical
Literature, with only. one professor
and just a few students, has the least
money to spend on new books. A cer-
tain amount is set aside to pay for
reference books, books of general in-
terest, and for rebinding and repairs
on old books. The Library Committee
makes no recommendations as to the
names or types of the books them-
selves.

After each department from its al-
lotment pays for the periodicals deal-
ing in its subject and for having them
bound, the rest of the money is divid-
ed up among the professors, who order
within their budgets the books neces-
sary for their courses. There is. no
criticism or check-up of these books,
except that all orders must be handled
by the Librarian’s office.

When the new books arrive they are
checked by the Librarian and paid for,
and then catalogued. Any student
who would like to see a good example
of efficiency might watch this process
from the door of the cataloguing room.
Then every Friday,.morning the new
books of the preceding week are plac-
ed on designated shelves of the New
Book Room for one week. The pro-
fessors who ordered them are notified
that they have come. This 7-day ex-
hibit of the new books is intended to
give the entire faculty and student
body a chance to look over the new



acquisitions before the books are bur-|-

ied in the stacks. Such books may not
be removed from the New Book Room:
In occasional cases books in great de-
mand are sent straight from the cata-
loguing room to the reserve shelf.

The New Book Room itself is sepa-
rate from the stacks. The New Book
Room Committee has Miss Donnelly as
its chairman and includes President
Park, Miss Reed, a faculty representa-
tive, and a graduate and undergradu-
ate member, The money for the New
Book Room comes from two class
funds, those of 1898 and 1914, plus oc-
casional class or individual gifts. The
Committee meets early in the fall and
goes over the new. book announce-
ments and selects as many as they
can buy with the funds on hand. But
a little of the money is saved to buy
more books later on in the winter and
in the spring. The books bought by
this committee with these funds form
a permanent collection marked with
blue stars.

After the blue starred books have
been in the New Book Room for two
years or when the interest in them
has died out, they are placed in the
stacks with the exception of a few sets
of permanent interest, such as the
sets of Hardy, France, Conrad, and

Shaw. These find an almost perma-
nent place in the New Boden

Atomic Terms Cannot
Explain Reasoning



Films Radiated from Objects
Cause Sense Perception,
Says Veltmann



ATOMISM IS APPRAISED



The chief failure of ancient Atom-
ism lay in its ability to explain itself
in its own terms. Dr. Veltmann made
this statement. in the Common Room
on Thursday, November 8, in a lec-
ture which summed up the values of
ancient Materialism and provided a
transition to modern Mechanistic
views.

According to Atomistic theories, all
knowledge:is derived from sense per-
ception. The mechanics of sense per-
ception were explained quite logically
by Democritus, but when he attempt-
ed to derive knowledge and reasoning
from sense perception, his explana-
tion was totally inexplicable in terms
of the atoms and void which he de-
clared to be the sole bases of. exist-
ence.

Sense-perception is caused, the
Atomists said, by the constant and
rapid radiation from every tangible
object of certain material particles
which form minute films resembling
the original object in general outline.
These films of minute particles are re-
ceived into the pores of the body, es-
pecially into the sense organs, and are
transferred in tubes from the pores
to the brain, where they are record-
ed. The various sense organs are fit-
ted to receive into their pores only,
films related to them, and of a proper
size; the eye receives only visual
image films; the ear, only auditory
films. From this reasoning, it may
be assumed that certain atoms in the
films resemble certain atoms -in the
sense organs, and that these similar
atoms co-operate in sensation in ac-
cordance with the Atomic axiom that

‘like attracts like.

The films become distorted and

blurred before reaching the brain,
through contact with atoms in the air.
The Atomists were convinced that if
theré were no air to act as a hin-
drance, the smallest and most distant
objects would be visible.
This theory of visual perception is
ridiculous in the face of the laws of
perspective. It depends, moreover, on
the assumption that images are re-
ceived into the eye, whereas they are
actually reflected from its surface.
Other forms. of sense perception have
equal gaps in the logic of their mech-
anism. To show how films were cast
off from objects, the Atomists com-
pared them to skins shed by snakes.
But this contradicts the necessary
Atomistic supposition that the films
are much more minute than the orig-
inal objects, for unless infinitely
small, they could not enter the pores
of the sense organs.

The Atomists, however, thought
that their ground was sure, and pro-
ceeded to explain illusion. A mirror
image, they said, is created when the
smooth surface of the mirror turns
the film tonching it inside out. In the
more startling forms of illusion, such
as the dizzy whirling of the world ob-
served by an intoxicated person, sense
perception is not at fault; instead, the
brain is interpreting incorrectly the
nature of the films carried to it.

Sensation is thus reduced to a mere

contact of soul atoms with film atoms.

Memory arises, from sensation by an
unexplained process which multiplies
all images when they enter the body.
These images remain in the body for
some time, and by concentration of the
mind can at will be brought to focus
in the brain.

From sensation, the Atomists went
on to explain thought. Thought is
not identical with sense perception,
but would resemble it if it were reduc-
ed to touch and ordered into logical
sequence. The secondary qvalities
perceived. by sense were rejected as
illusory... Yet, a little while before,
they had blamed the mind for illusion
and elected sense perception as the
basis of knowledge. By these two
postulates, the stability of knowledge
itself seems to be shaken.

Democritus believed that knowledge
could be saved by reliance on the pri-
mary qualities, for they are objects
of reason which are observed in all
things through sense perception.
When the mind has abstracted the
primary qualities, it classifies them
and transforms them into general
principles. Basing its supposition on

such principles, and on experience, the





mind then draws inferences concern-
ing the fundamental nature | of the
world.

~The trouble is that atoms in thet

void cannot explain the processes of
abstraction, generalization, and infer-
ence. This is a-point about which
Materialists of all ages have preserv-
ed a discreet silence. If there is any
solution at all, it must be that “the
soul distinguishes between what it
perceives by sense and what it in-
tuits.” It discards the distorted
images brought to it by perception,
and, as Democritus said; “has rational
thought only-when it is symmetrically
constituted.” That is to say, the soul
can obtain knowledge only when its
purity is undisturbed by external
atoms. Then it can apprehend by ana-
lytic introspection.
lytic introspection, even. in a, symmet-
rical soul, means nothing in terms of

atoms. How reason distinguishes be-
tween illusi nd truth, when both
are no m than motions of soul

atoms, whether of internal or exter-
nal causation, is a mystery.

When the final value of. Atomism is
appraised, it becomes evident that the
scientific methodology credited to it is
no advance over the methodology of
contemporary philosophy. .The Atom-
ists indulged in speculation and intui-
tion dnd failed to rely on experiment
and inductive reasoning. Their*great-

ness arose from the speculation that}

quantitative values must underlie ap-
pearance., They dogmatically assum-
ed that the only reality . was’ that
which could be expressed quantita-
tively. Thus they provided an ideal
working hypothesis for exact science,
and enabled scientists to apply mathe-
matics to a world of physics and to
calculate phenomena confidently.
There is something inherently sound
in the principle of Atomism if it is
not absolutized. It cannot be abso-
lutized, as the Atomists would have
wished, because it fails to throw any
light on the causes of qualitative real-
ities, organic life, and reasoning it-
self,

In spite of its shortcomings, Mate-
rialism has survived until the present
day. The philosophy of Hobbes pro-
vides the bridge between ancient and
modern Materialism. Like the old
Eleatics, he taught the continuity of
matter, and believed that all science
is based on physics. From physical
things, two sorts of bodies are form-
ed, the one natural, as any physical
entity, and the other artificial, as a
state. Man is the link between these
two.

With the old Atomists, Hobbes af-
firmed that only primary qualities like
magnitude, motion, and mathematical
figure, are real. Likewise, he said that
experience is not knowledge, but the
basis of knowledge, for knowledge is
an abstraction, while experience is
only a memory. of individual things
and facts. The abstraction of knowl-
edge consists of universal truths made
up of words or combinations of words,
each of which signifies a group of
similarities abstracted from concrete
objects.

Its theme is rather trite, with the em-
phasis on sewing overdone, and ‘the
denouement is too improbable, even
in a fantasy. The dialogue, in poetry,
is excellent in some places, “as in
Mary’s descriptions of the world she
wants to visit; but in the ordinary
conversation, drama is sacrificed to
rhyme.

Elizabeth Wyckoff showed a great
deal of: feeling in hex interpretatiox
of Mary. It amazed us not a little,
however, to hear Mary, a girl who
had never been beyond the boundaries
of her own home, displaying in po-
etic speeches an intimate knowledge
of things she had never seen. Alice

Bianca satisfactorily fulfills the re-

much action, the villain gets his just
deserts, and the “heroine triumphs, |

even though after death. The pace —

is hysterically swift and the dialogue,
though of a slightly shopworn style,
is excellent of its kind and well-suited
to Bianca’s type of play.

We admired particularly the pale
blue lights and ‘ttshes of thé wood;
the nonchalant way Bianca gazed at
her roses when her lover lay dying
beside her; the song Bianca sang
(again, admiring roses), while mourn-
ing her lover; the villain’s move-
ments; the expert hissing of the au-
dience at the villain’s every appear-
ance; the return of Bianca’s ghost,
and the demise of the villain at her
hands.

The audience spent a very enjoy-
able evening, and showed their appre-
ciation by much applause. They had
wondered, sympathized, hissed, and
been amused. What more can an au-

Sonata Form Recital
Given by Lipkin, Chance



The Entertainment Committee. of
the Deanery furnished last Sunday
another thoroughly enjoyable after-
noon program in its series, when it
presented Mr. Arthur Bennet Lipkin
and Miss Maisie Chance in a Violin
and Piano Sonata Recital. Mr. Lip-
kin is a violinist in the Philadelphia
Orchestra and is also First Violinist
of the Philadelphia String Quartet.
Miss Chance, a former pupil of Mr.
Alwyne’s, has been heard in recitals
and has done orchestral work.

The recital was rendered all the
more interesting because of the pres-
ence of Mr. Tibor Serley, who com-
posed some of the music which was
played at the Deanery for the first
time in Philadelphia. Of Mr. Ser-
ley’s Five Impressions, the Chanson
and the Danse, Allegro Feroce, were
especially notable. They had a cer-
tain quality of haunting beauty that
seemed to us the high point of the
whole program.

Mr. Serley plays the viola in the
Philadelphia Orchestra. He is
American born, but his-parents were
Hungarian and he studied in Hun-
gary at the Budapest Academy. He
composes mostly orchestral works, one
of which will be played by Stokowski
and the Philadelphia Orchestra later
on in the season.

Mr. Serley introduced the last num-
ber on the rogram, Ferenc Farkas’
Sonatina, with a few informal ex-
planatory remarks about Farkas,
whose work was performed at the
Deanery Sunday for the first time in
America. Farkas studied with Mr.
Serley under Kodaly, who is one of
the two Hungarian composers of
note. Although he is only twenty-six
years old, Farkas was appointed by
the Roman government to write the
incidental music for the famous old
Hungarian folk play, the Tragedy of
Man, presented at the Festival in
Rome last year.

Mr. Serley brought Farkas’ Sona-
tine back with him from Europe last
September. It is in conventional so-
nata form, contains three short move-
ments, and not only shows.a

ian influence, but

The program of the recita
follows: Mozart, Sonata in F; Gabri-
el Faure, Sonata, Op. 13; Tibor Ser-
ley, Five Impressions: Berceuse, Ru-
bato, Chanson, Parlando con dolore,
Danse, Allegro Feroce; Ferenc Far-
kas, Sonatine, Op. 8, No. 2.

Mr. Lipkin’s rendition of the three
sonatas on the program was, how-
ever, uniformly excellent. His ver-
satility and technical skill were well
evidenced by the grace with which he
played Mozart’s sonata and the bril-
liance and. fire with which a few mo-
ments later he rendered Farkas’ very
modern Sonatine.

the whole world from Liberia to the

those aspects of foreign affairs that
interest him most.

The two methods of presenting ma-
terial about foreign affairs are: - (1)
through conflicting speeches made in
meetings by at least two speakers, so
that a choice of opinions is offered,
and (2) by research,

“I am prejudiced to this extent—I
think research is the keystone ‘of
By research,
many of the Association’s speakers
are supplied with information, and
often the conflicting opinions are
from this source, for it serves “both
pros and cons.” In the research de-
partment, as in the State Department,
the work is divided regionally. Var-
ious members cover different coun-
tries and report on them. For ex-
ample, Mrs. Dean’s own special fields
are Russia and Italy, and Europe in
general twice a year.

In the research department, the
method of gathering material is to go
to all possible sources, not relying
only on_ political documents of the
countries reported. Each
member receives the newspapers from
the country which he is covering, and
other litefature of the country is
read.

As a result of this research, the
Foreign Policy Report is published
every two weeks. To prepare these
reports, two months are allowed the
writer. After each report is writ-
ten, the manuscript is discussed in
the office with other members and
with Mr. Buell, the head of the As-
sociation. Next, each manuscript is
submitted to three or four people
who criticise it and give their vari-
ous points of view. Important men
of affairs are frequently asked to
criticise the reports, and they have
never refused. You have to make up
your own mind whether these reports
are partial, but no research worker

These reports are not stodgy mater-

ful to us now.: They are planned
ahead of time (even three or four
months aheads), so that the informa-
tion contained in them will be of inter-
est at the moment of publication. For
example, a report is ‘being prepared
about the Saar Plebiscite, which will
be held January 18. Another sor
is being prepared about the renewal
of the Munitions committee investi-
gation, at the request of the commit-
tee itself, who also want the report
translated into French and Spanish,
to be sent abroad. In addition to
these reports, there is a news bulletin
published every week. It contains
two articles digesting the news of the
past week.

Since the purpose of the Foreign
Policy Association is to broaden the
base of. popular information, so that
people in small towns with no access
to information on foreign affairs can
find out about them, the Association
is forming discussion groups, start-
ing in the south. The object of this
is to provide people with information
in order that they can form opinions
on United States policies in foreign
affairs. The United States cannot
succeed in its- policies unless it has
the strong support of most of the
people, or the strong opposition when
the people think a measure is wrong.

Students are urged to join the For-
eign Policy Association, receiving
weekly and bi-annual bulletins. They
also have the privilege of attending
the meetings of its local branches in
the cities nearby.



Mrs. Dean Discusses
Europe: Peace or War



Continued from Page One

ated states for political self-sufficiency
is a counter-balancing elément, and
the United States, if it once decides
upon a foreign policy, may be of great
help in solving the problems of a trou-
bled Europe.

Nazi foreign policy has two contro-
versial objectives: the demand for
arms equality, and the desire to unite
all Germans in a Greater Germany.
The Hitler government’s withdrawal!
from the Disarmament Conference and
fromthe League-of.Nations-a year
ago aroused grave apprehensions, es-
pecially on the part of France, which
believes that Germany is secretly but
rapidly rearming on land,, sea, and
particularly in the air. - Germany’s
increased imports of certain raw ma-
terials used chiefly for-war purposes
give some support to the French con-
tention, and Great Britain has become
concerned over the reports of naval
and aeroplane rearmament. The
French also believe that Germany is
illegally creating a large army in the
various party militias and in the
youth trained in labor camps. Be-
fore Hitler came into power, he ex-
pressed Germany’s desire for territor-
ial expansion into the Baltic States
and the U. S. S. R., and although he
is not expected to launch a war im-
mediately, his subsequent declarations
of a peaceful policy are not trusted
by Germany’s neighbors.

It is true that Hitler has backed
up some of his peaceful words with
deeds: in January, 1934, Germany
and Poland, regarded as one of the
most dangerous sets of potential ene-
rmies in Europe, concluded a ten-year
note LSyression pact, which has facili-
tated the adjustment of the potential-
Jy dangerous conflict between Poland
and Danzig over the use of the port
of Danzig. But the Hitler govern-
ment, however, has aroused fears over
its policy toward the Saar basin and
Austria.

The Saar was detached from Ger-
many by the Versailles Treaty, declar-
ed an autonomous area, and placed
under the aegis of a Governing Com-
mission appointed by the League
Council. It was included in the
French customs’ regime, and its coal
mines were given to France in repara-
tion for German destruction of French
thines during the war. The inhabi-
tants are to decide in-a plebiscite next
January whether they wish to be re-
united with Germany, annexed by
Franee, or continue under the present
League regime. It is conceded even
by the French, however, that the Saar
will not vote for annexation to France,



Bienen *¢+ fe nihiichad far affairea will

Saar popwWation is composed mainly
of worker and peasants, many . of
whom are! Catholics.

The German Nazis have. conducted
-such-vigorous-propaganda in the Saar
that the Saar anti-Nazis contend that
free voting has been rendered impos-
sible and have asked the League Coun-
cil to postpone the plebiscite. The
Council is, however, .reluctant to an-
swer two questions which the anti-
Nazis have raised: whether another
opportunity-for a plebiscite will be
given in the event of a postponement,
and whether, if the Saar votes for
continuance of the present League re-
gime, that regime will be altered t6
permit of greater local autonomy and
wider self-government.. There are
further complications in the Treaty
provisions that the League may de-
cide to split up the Saar, should the
wishes of the inhabitants require it;

tbut if the League decides to give the

Saar to Germany, it is provided that
Germany must buy back the mines
from France in gold, and this Ger-
many is not in a position to do.

Germany’s desire to absorb Austria
into a Greater Germany is resisted
by France, Italy andthe Little En-
tente, which is composed: of Czecho-
zlovakia, Rumania and Yugoslavia.
The Little Entente, and the Balkan
and Baltic State blocs, were formed
in fear that Italy’s demands for re-
formation of the League along the
lines of divorce of the League cove-
nant from the peace treaties, of sub-
stitution of the Fascist principle of
hierarchy for that of equality of all
states, and of changes in the League
procedure to permit more rapid and
decisive action, would lead to a dic-
tatorship in the League of the great
powers.

Italy hopes to achieve’the preserva-
tion of Austrian independence by
linking Austria with Hungary and
granting trade concessions: to both
countries, which are confronted with
a serious economic crisis. The Ital-
ian plan is supported by France, which
wants at all costs to prevent Ansch-
luss; but it is opposed by the Little
Entente states, which fear that Italy
will demand territorial revision of
Hungary at their expense and event-
ual restoration of the Hapsburgs in
both Austria and Hungary. The Lit-
tle Entente would prefer Anschluss
to restoration, for Rumania and Yu-
goslavia at least are not unfriendly
to. the Nazis and hope for economic
concessions from them,

Neither Italy nor Hungary, how-
ever, would lament the disruption of
the Yugoslav state, and have in the
past harbored Croat terrorists engag-
ed in undermining the Yugoslav re-
gime. The Catholic Croats chafe un-
der the rule of the Yugoslav govern-
ment, controlled by the Greek Ortho-
dox Serbs, whom they regard as less
civilized and more brutal than them-
selves. As long as Yugoslavia is con-
fronted by Croat dissatisfaction, its
relations with Italy and Hungary are
not likely to improve.

For the Little Entente, the real ene-
my is not Germany but Hungary,
which, they believe, will never rest
until it has obtained restitution of its
1914 frontiers. The Little Entente
states have consequently concentrated
their efforts on resisting Hungary’s
attempts to join forces with Austria
and Italy in revising the territorial
map of Central Europe, and in this
struggle have sought thé collabora-
tion of the Soviet Union and the Bal-
kan’ states. All these Little Entente
states signed a non-aggression pact
with the Soviet Union in 1933:

from its post-war ally, France, and
has entered i close relations with
Germany, resisting all efforts of
France to include it in a Franco-Sov-
iet political combination which might
be directed against Germany. At
the same time, it has preserved good
relations with the U. S. S. R., and has
defied the League of Nations by re-
fusing to submit to League supervi-
sion of the minorities treaties. Po-
land’s cause is motivated by a desire
to be accepted as a great power, but
this attitude may prove suicidal, lead-
ing. to another of its historical parti-
tions.

The Balkan states, like the Little
Entente, have shown a tendency to de-
velop regional understandings. Turkey
and Greece attempted to persuade Ru-
mania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria of
the necessity for all Balkan states to
collaborate in maintaining the status
quo, and a pact to maintain existing



Poland has definitely detached itself

The failure of Bulgaria and Al-
bania“to subscribe to the pact impairs,
its value, but bilateral negotiations
are in progress between Bulgaria and
Yugoslavia. The two countries were
formerly antagonized by difficulties
over the Macedonian question and by
Yugoslavia’s fear that. Bulgaria had
become Italy’s pawn in the Balkans.
The Gueorguiéff cabinet, which seiz-
ed power in Bulgaria last May, ap-
pears determined to relax Italy’s hold
on Bulgaria, and has undertaken to
end the Macedonian question by dis-
banding the Macedonian terrorist or-
ganization which had conducted guer-
illa warfare against Yugoslavia.

Italy fears that these Balkan ma-
noevres will block its plans for expan- |°
sion into the eastern Mediterranean
and; its economic drive to the Near
East, and also fears that Germany’s
expansion to the east will menace its
own sphere of influence here. It is
apprehensive of. Nazi designs on Aus-
tria, although it advocates territorial
revision for Hungary. It is therefore
concentrating on preserving Austrian
independence by urging Austria to de-
velop trade with Hungary. As long
as Italy supports Hungarian aspira-
tions, it cannot hope to effect a rap-
prochement with the Little Entente
states, menaced by these aspirations.
The agitation about Austria has been
so strong that Nazi spokesmen now
place less emphasis on Anschluss and
more on co-ordination of the two
states, which might be _ peacefully
achieved if the Austrian Nazis should
seize control of the government.

Soviet foreign policy has completely
changed since Hitler’s advent to pow-
er. Fear that Germany’s demand for
territorial revision might precipitate
a European conflict which would en-
danger the Soviet economic system,
and fear of Hitler’s avowed inten-
tions of expanding into the Soviet Uk-
raine led the U. S. S. R. to establish
close ties with the status quo coun-
tries—France and the Little Entente
—and to join the League ‘of Nations.
The Soviets also fear that the Baltic
states might be absorbed through eco-
nomic ties into Germany, and wish to
preserve a buffer in the Baltic states
against Nazi expansion to the east.
The Soviet wishes security against
German attack so as to have a free
hand in case of Japanese aggression.
The Germans and Japanese, realizing
this, are believed to be developing an
understanding directed -against the
Soviet Union.

While the struggle for a new bal-
ance of power in Europe bears an out-
ward resemblance to the stormy years
before 1914, other factors peculiar to
the post-war period go far to qualify
the comparison. Before 1914, Europe
was dominated by two hostile groups
of great powers—the Triple Alliance
and the Triple Entente: since 1919,
a dozen small states have been estab-
lished from the Baltic to the Black
Sea, which are resolved not to become
mere pawns in the political game of
the large states. The determination
of the small states to make their in-
fluence felt in the League of Nations
is a stable element against the policies
of the Powers, but the League must
maintain its integrity as an interna-
tional organization if-it is not to be-
come a mere instrument of the great
powers.

European stability will remain pre-
carious as long as doctrines of ex-
treme nationalism and territorial ex-
pansion are prevalent. Dictatorships
are in a better position than democra-
cies to steer public opinion toward.
war, and in launching a war are able
to act more zpromptly and decisively
than, - dapereatic governments. It
would?*“tutile to blame the League
for ths setbacks suffered by interna-
tionalism in the past few years. As
long as its. members refuse to per-
mit international settlement of politi-
cal and economic issues, the League
cannot become a permanent bulwark
against. war.

The United States must decide on
the general policy it wishes to follow
with regard to Europe, Since the War
‘we have'sought to withdraw from Eu-
ropean entanglements, and more re-
cently, to pursue a policy of isolation
and self-sufficiency. If we choose this
policy, we should follow it to its logi-
cal conclusion: we should abandon our
efforts to obtain disarmament, and
cease all attempts to win new mar-
kets in Europe or to preserve old ones.
But if, we believe that recovery must
be sought through international -co-| -
operation, we should realize «that we

to do what lies within our province
and powers to work with Europe for
the solution of these’ problems.



Alumnae Council Held
on College Grounds



Continued from Page One

book sales (these are especially good),
and éach district this year has sent
more than pledged.” Other districts
found different ways of raising
money: Benefit movies, teas, swim-
ming parties, Dutch Treat suppers,
and the benefit performance of Kath-
erine Hepburn in The Lake in Wash-
ington, and of Cornelia Otis Skinner
in The Loves of Charlee: the Second
in Chicago are a few of the ingenious
methods that the Alumnae in differ-
ent parts of the country have used
to get money to send Regional Schol-
ars. All the reports were alike. in
that they expressed the enthusiasm
of the Alumnae for ‘college affairs
and that they showed the great inter-
est of the Alumnae in the scholarship
students from the various districts.

These reports showed, further, the
great care and thoughtfulness with
which. the recipients of Regional
Scholarship funds are picked, and the
personal interest which the mempers
of a district feel in the activities and
progress and scholarship of the stu-
dents they send to Bryn Mawr.

The second most important part of .
the actual~business discussion of the
Council was concerned with the rela-
tions of distant Alumnae to the col-
lege. A study was made of the vari-
ous methods used in other colleges to
perpetuate the Graduates’ relations
to college. Three recommendations
were made after this study. They
recommended that occasional visits be
made to distant Alumnae by more
official representatives of the college
—members of the faculty or adminis-
tration. They suggested the possibil-
ity of having an annual “Alumnae
Week-End” to coincide perhaps with
a Glee Club concert or a Varsity play,
to which each class would send an
official representative. And thirdly,
they took up the suggestion that Bryn
Mawr should institute an ‘Alumnae
College,” such as is annually held at
Smith, Mount Holyoke and Wellesley,
to which Alumnae could come, after
all of the Undergraduates had’ gone
home for the summer vacation, for a
series of lectures, round table discus-
sions, and ‘conferences on modern
problems.

All of these suggestions were wel-
comed by the members of the Alum-
nae Council. The members of the
Council felt particularly amenable to
the; establishment of closer contact
between the college and the Gradu-
ates, especially after they themselves
had had the opportunity and pleas-
ure of seeing the Undergraduates in
classes, of observing the Undergradu-
ate activities in sports and the drama,
of meeting the administrators of the
college and of hearing from Mrs.
Manning about the changes in curri-
culum and the Honours system, from
Mrs. Smith about the purpose and
practicability of post major courses,
from Dr. Chew about the requisite
versatility in a professor, and from
Miss Park about the new plans in the
various departments of the college,

Not Out of the Stacks

Before Christmas comes and_ it
grows too late to discuss the best au-
tumn books, we must mention’ Frieda
Lawrence’s Not I, But. the Wind. . It
is important not only because of its
own. intrinsic. merits, but because of
its connection with the series of books
on D. H. Lawrence that have recent-
ly appeared. The book was long her-
alded by Lawrence scholars and ad-
mirers because it was certain to be
sympathetic and enthusiastic. It is all
of that, and furthermore, it is authen-
tic. Mrs. Lawrence’s main concern in
the writing of Not I, But the Wind
lies in presenting’-a true picture of
her“husband, the artist. .“‘Lies are all
very well in their place, but the truth
seems to me so much more interest-
ing and proud, but truth is not so eas-
ily conquered, there is always. more
of it, like a bottomless pit is truth.”
To accomplsih her puose, she writes
simply and directly of hey relations
with her husband, and the text is
further elucidated by reprints of let-
ters that Lawrence wrote at various
times to her and to her family.

The information to be gleaned from
the book is fresh, and so could: not
disappoint the student of Lawrence.
It reveals a facet of Lawrence’s char-
acter that has heretofore received lit-
tle notice and that has been for the
most-part discounted: his inherent
sense of morality. Freedom is of pri-
mary importance, perhaps, but it must
be limited if truth or decency are de-
stroyed by it. In the main, Law-
rence’s sense of freedom is manifest in
small matters—in his sincere behavior
toward his wife and in his straightfor-
ward and simple letters to his mother-
in-law.

The letters are very intimate, and





~~

in some cases,’ quite .revealing. They
concern themselves with the details of
his domestic life, wth his impressons
of people and places, and with trivial
reports of the progress and_ success
‘of his*books. They are’so simple and
so intimate that they must mean a
great deal to the scholar and really
very little to one who does not know
Lawrence or his work from another
source. What cares the reader wheth-
er Frieda is just taking a bath? It
is scarcely momentous news that is
being. imparted to the public; nor is
Lawrence’s announcement of this do-
mestic event artistically phrased. The
casual reader is not likely to be inter-
ested. in the revelation ‘at all; and he
is equally likely to pass blithely over
Lawrence’s: mention of a newly Com-
pleted novel. Not I, But the Wind
loses a great deal as a book in includ-
ing so many trivial letters, printed
in great bulk and in wearsome ital-
ics. Furthermore, a reading of Law-
rence’s works themselves is requisite
for the appreciation and enjoyment of
Mrs. Lawrence’s book, as is also some
knowledge of the author’s life from.a
more general biography, On the
other hand, for a person who knows
Lawrence, Not I, But the Wind is a
treasure house of information and
explanation.



Our next excursion into literature
we hesitate to mention. We have by
no means descended to the lowly status
of the Timid Soul, but we know the
scorn with which an unknown book is
greeted, especially if that book be a
novel of college kjfe. We shall be
quick about it. What Mad Pursuit, by
Martha Gellhorn, is the most recent
portrayal of the college girl, cloistered
and on the loose. The book is very



strange; much the most ‘intelligent

comment on it was Princess Bibesco’s
“Who does not like to share experi-

ences with these young women (at any |

rate in book form!)?” It is written in
an intimate, though by no means per-
sonal style; that is, the detail is close-
ly .and intimately observed and ex-
pressed, but the style and the tone
are not highly flavored enough to be
labelled as personal.

The plot starts three girls out in
the environs of a women’s college,
and it is amazing Pr’ close to Bryn
Mawr the descriptions come — one
small detail after another seems to
have been lifted right out of. the fur-
nishings, inhabitants; and events that
are commonplaces in all of the smok-
ing rooms on campus. And then the
plot gets more and more and more
complicated, sustaining violent action
right up to the last page, where we
are left breathless and dumbfounded.
What Mad Pursuit is an. incredible
performance, so incredible that we
cannot possibly judge it fairly. Were
we to hazard an opinion of its merit,
we would be so biased by the fasci-
nation for the familiar details of the
setting and for the miraculous com-
plexity of. the plot, that we would
probably say that it was much better
than it really is. The book has the
engrossing, if low-brow, qualities of a
rousing detective story. ‘

Dictatorship--Held-Nonexistent

in U. S. Under Freedom of
Press and Elections



LEGAL SYSTEM IS TEST



Before a group of rather partial
‘Pp mists of Democracy, Mrs.
Dean led a discussion‘ on

. Thursday evening, November 8, which


































. tion, legislation by representative bod-

‘was pointed: out that such a system

dislike the new government.

he discussion-Rext turnea to~ the
Soviet Government in Russia. The
_ Communists claim that the height of

‘centered around the ideas advanced in
her speech on Dictatorship on Trial.
‘She began by stating that the lecture
had the purpose of looking at dictator-
ship from the American point of view.
‘After a trial of nearly two years for
even the newest of the governments
of this type, Mrs. Dean believes’ that
-gufficient time has been given to us

‘to consider what they have accom-

plished and to see how far and how
completely the plans, on the basis of
which ‘they gained power, have been
fulfilled. The facts, both good and
bad, must be kept constantly in
mind.

Mrs. Dean adopted the attitude of
a strong defender of the various dic-
tatorships and endeavored to draw
from the group a defense of the lib-
eral democratic system. The first
point which she wished understood
was the essential difference between
Democracy and dictatorship. She
pointed out that the Nazi press hailed
the recent elections here as a step on
the road to. dictatorship. © Various
members of the group rose to the de-
fense of democracy and showed, for
example, that government relations
with industry with regard to the
codes is entirely on a voluntary basis.
In the Fascist state, however, the com-

’ pulsion to act as the government di-

rects comes first and is followed by
standardization.

Any government in this country is
prevented from doing as it pleases by
fear of a popular reversal of public
opinion at the next election. The con-
sensus of opinion at the conference
seemed to be that real thought was
evinced by the individual voter only
when the issues were extremely clear.
and simple and of vital importance.
But American voters can and do ex-'
ercise- real discretion in choice, and
they will rise up against the actions:
of the government if its acts are un-
popular. Democracy in Italy and Ger-,
many failed because it was artificial-

_ ly imposed on countries not suited to

it and never became firmly rooted.

When does-a situation arise in which |
an action against the established or-|
der is of a revolutionary nature? The!
answer to this question depends on
the country under discussion. It was)
felt that in countries of Anglo-Saxon |
background it would be highly improb- |

. able that such a situation would arise. |

Even if one party did become very
militant and defiant, such as the Brit-
ish Labor Party threatened to do, the
general opinion was that some other
group within the State would remain
calm and would at least try to ar-
range a conference and discuss the
matter.

In other words, in those countries
having a democratic tradition, there
is a sincere belief in progress by the
evolutionary methods of experimenta-

ies and general discussion, as against
the revolutionary tactics of govern-
ment by decree, restriction of free-
dom of speech and press, confiscation
of property and nationalization of
economic life. There was considerable
disagreement with Hitler’s claim that
the Nazi state is a dictatorship ar-
rived at democratically. The state-
ment seemed to be a paradox and it

allows the people no alternative if they

democracy was reached when the poor
peasants voted to oust the rich peas-

interpreted.. The laws which have,
been established may be abolished at:
any moment and nothing can be done,
about it. However, it must be under-|
stood that the test of dictatorship is;
not so much the scope of its laws, as
it is the amount of freedom of speech,
press and religion allowed.

In concluding the discussion of the
political side of dictatorship, Mrs.
Dean pointed out that there are three
distinct types . of government: out-}
right dictatorship, strong government
arrived at by compromise, and the
usual type of democratic government.

Turning to economic considerations,
Mrs. Dean asked whether it would be
better to have a dictatorship in a per-
iod of economic crisis. In both Ger-
many and Italy, proponents of auth-
oritarian rule have claimed that their
plan is better and that it will work
more quickly. The facts do not seem
to substantiate their claims, although
they may prove to be right in the long
run; it must be remembered that they
claimed that their system would be an
almost immediate cure. Mussolini has
now had eleven years to work out his
plan and yet economic conditions do
not appear to have improved material-
ly. Even Fascists admit that there
has been a steady decline in employ-
ment figures ever since the Fascist
coup. Doubtless world conditions are
inseparably involved in this decline,
but one must not forget that Fascism
chose the policy of economic nation-
alism with a full awareness of its
probable results. When a country
goes in for a planned economy, politi-
cal factors must be taken into con-
siderationy and the planners must
realize this in making out the plan.
An ideal state of affairs which has no
political or economical opposition can-
not be assumed.

Years and Years Ago
This seems to be the psychologically
correct moment to introduce a breath

into our kaleidoscopic
sketches of Bryn Mawr College life
as it was lived long ago. ‘“Kaleido-
scopic” is a dignified word used by
authors who ought to have been truth-
ful and said “jumbled” instead. Into
our jumbled sketches, then, comes a
whiff of spring. If our readers will
tt. -, their thermostats and put on
an extra sweater, we will ask them
to imagine themselves basking in‘ the
sunshine of a warm April afternoon,
almost forty years ago.

The occasion is the first Hare and
Hound run. Twelve or fourteen eager
Hounds and two fleet Hares have as-
sembled in the rooms of the Sopho-
more Basketball Team’s captain. The
Hares, allowed five minutes’ start,
bound nimbly from one of the windows
of Pembroke West .(What’s wrong
with this picture?). During the in-

. terval of waiting, the Hounds agree

on a call:—quite in keeping with their
canine character, for it is as nearly
like the bark of a hound as possible.
The five minutes are up, and the
Hounds are off! They pick up the
trail in Gulph Road just behind Mer-
ion, noting, en passant, that it is
composed of fragments of two novels
by the Duchess—Beautie’s Daughters
and A Modern Arce. We moderns
may well inquire into the identity of
the Duchess. The Philistine reporter
remarks at this point: “What a sig-

Topic of Conference



‘ Saar Plebiscite and Austrian

©

Anschluss or Cooperation

Considered



» ARMAMENTS A PROBLEM



On -Tuesday afternoon Mrs, Dean

held the second general conference in

the Deanery. The discussion centered
principally on German Rearmament,
the Saar question, and the Austrian
situation. ino:
Mrs, Dean, in discussing the first
point, said that there can be little

doubt that rearmament in Germany is

going on. Military, naval and air
budgets for the ensuing year are all
larger than in the past. Germany
claims that these increases are caused
by changes in policy with ‘regard to

the Reichswehr, etc., which are with-

in the scope of the arrangements of
the Versailles Treaty. France- is
watching these moves with anything
but a sense of security. Her allega-

. tions- as to what is’ going on in Ger-

many, while not perhaps in the nature
of legal evidence, are based on as re-
liable reports as can be obtained by

* fist hand observers.

‘Mrs. Dean then asked the group to
cansider the question of what should
bé done by the rest of the world,
granted that Germany is rearming.
Shows of force to maintain the treaty
seem to be the only way out. If Ger-
many actually denounced the Treaty,
a commission could be sent to study:
the situation and see if peace was men-
aced. Germany obviously would not
feel very kindly toward such a com-
mission and not many people could be
found who would be willing to serve
on it. If a report was actually made
and the League Council declared an
economic boycott of Germany, would
not the Germans be more _ incensed
than ever? This would also mean that
the League was being used as a de-
fensive alliance against Germany.

Germany certainly has a good case.

|





eed /
Suppose she should ask for a révision
of the Treaty? It would probably not
be any better to attempt a revision
than to actually denounce the Treaty.
In practical terms, what does revision
mean to Germans? The western bor-
der is settled by the Locarno Treaty,
the east by the Polish Non-Aggression
Pact. The only major problem left

‘for revision’. 22 army, 27d natural-
¥

ly revision would be made with the
idea of increasing its size. But an
army must be used for something; it
must inevitably..be used as a weapon
of expansion. Have thé above-men-
tioned treaties been signed in order to
free Hitler’s hand for action — else-
where? This is the question which is
concerning the rest of Europe.

There is little that can be done to
stop Germany from rearming unless
the signers of.the Peace Treaty are
ready to use force to keep her dis-
armed. Allied Disarmament seems
practically impossible while the Hit-
ler government holds power in Ger-
many. The only possible assurance
of her peaceful intentions that Ger-
many could give would be cessation
of activities in the Saar and in Aus-
tria. The fundamental problem which
causes Germany to try to expand is
the growing pressure of her increas-
ing population: It is safe to say that
unless Germany takes vigorous meas-
ures with regard to expansion in eith-
er the Saar or Austria, the other na-
tions will not take forceful action
against her.

The next topic of discussion was the
Saar Plebiscite, to be held January
13, 1935. The question of the value
of postponing the vote until things are
more settled in Europe was consider-
ed. -The general opinion seemed to be
that postponement would he evading
an issue which must eventually be
settled. Will there ever be more
suitable time to hold the vote? Even
if the vote shows a clear territorial

division, it does not seem economitally.

sound to split up the Saar.
If there is pressure on the votérs to

vote one way or the other, it cannot:

be said that the decision was made
voluntarily. Admittedly, not everyone
can be satisfied, but in this case should

tf*majority rule decide? If so, what



would happen to the minority? Would
there be a physical migration of the
minority to. some other place? Dr.
Fenwick insisted that the status quo
now existent in the Saar should re-
main unless there is a clear majority,
say 66 per cent., on one side or the
other. This point, however, seems be-
side the main issue, for nearly every-
one concedes Hitler at least that large

a majority. ,
With regard tol Austrian ques-
tion, the digcussion stuged upon the

clause in the Treaty of St. Germain,
which requires Austria to maintain
the status of an independent nation.
It. was decided that, ‘although Austria
is very much handicapped by different
and conflicting agreements with vari-
ous other nations such as Italy, such
agreements do not constitute an in-
fringement of her sovereign independ-
ent status. If an Austrian Nazi gov-
ernment came into power, and ar-
ranged to co-operate with Germany
but not to join with her in physical
union, this would not be a violation



of the:St. Germain Treaty. Such-an
arrangement as this would satisfy all
the parties involved, with the ‘possible |
exception of Italy, and there would:
still be no Anschluss. It was agreed
that Germany does not now contem- |
plate actual Anschluss with Austria. |
But, nevertheless, the German Nazis
are very anxious to see the demo-|
cratic election get under way in Aus-|

‘tria so that popular feeling can be

manifested. They feel that the Aus-|
trian Nazis would win control of the
government in the event of a popular
election.

Another alternate in Austria ‘might
be the return of Otto and the restora-
tion of the Hapsburg Monarchy: Roy-
alist restoration would not be a vio-
lation of the St. Germain Treaty. The |
opinion of the group seemed to be
that in the end the choice of a gov-
ernment in\Austria must be made by
the people themselves through a pop-
ular election.

With all its imperfections, it was
felt that popular vote was the fair-
est way of ascertaining the will of



the majority of the people.

Marriner Considers
Beethoven _as Titan



Continued from Page. Une

sical life of Beethoven, The first was
his apprenticeship, wherein he assim-
ilated, as do most geniuses, the work
of all the great masters who preceded
him, and using the 18th century forms
and the work of composers suck 9s
Bach, Handel, Haydn, and Mozart as
a basis, he composed the Pathetique
and the Moonlight sonatas and other
works. Even in this early phase there
appear the characteristics of the great
emancipator. Before him the range
of key was limited, but Beethoven
broke the conventions of Mozart so
that each subject was, a - natural
growth out of the preceding subject.
His two great formal innovations were
the Scherzo and the Air and Varia-
tions, for although the latter existed
before, Beethoven so widened its field
that he might be called its creator. He
raised programme music to conscious-
ness and was the forerunner of Ro-
mantic music in his use of titles. To
illustrate this first phase of Beetho-
ven, Mr. Marriner played three move-
ments from the Sevénth Qonata in D
Mdjor, opus 10, number” 3, which
clearly points to the Beethoven of the
Heroica. The first movement, Presto,
has.a dash and virility with a.typical
strong crescendo in the coda, while the
second movement, a largo e mesto, re-
veals that even the thirty-year-old
Beethoven knew despondency, suffer-
ing, and anguish.

In the second phase his mighty per-
sonality asserted itself, and produc-
ed work extending from the Heroicu
to the 8th Symphony. He was laugh-
ed at because of his appearance, his
unorthodox music; and his increasing
deafness made him ever more sensi-
tive. The details ofhis life are often
pathetic and full of sorrows, but oc-
casionally joyful. They find expres-
sion in his sketch books, which also
reveal the painstaking method by
which he composed, constantly revis-
ing and ever striving for the perfect
expression of an idea. In Beethoven
there are almost no repetitions and

each little nuancé of expression is

life Beethoven kept fie courage to
give the world new idéas and corrstant-
ly to face the accusations of purists.
Mr. Marriner played opus 90, a so-
nata in.two movements, which bridges
the gap between his first and last
phases, written in 1814, it shows Bee-
thoven beginning to enter a period of
quiet communion with himse}fig-"*
allegro is full of courage and resig-
nation, while the second movement, a
rondo, is smooth and reposeful.

The third phase is Beethoven’s
transcendent period where joys and
sorrows have changed to divine rap-
ture, and where music audible through
the ear has changed to an inner spir-
itual music. The music of this per-
iod fills the souls of the hearer and
inspires therh with the cosmic splen-
dor of the tonal universe, and” while
healing and comforting them, de-
mands a complete surrender for its
appreciation. The C. Minor sonata,
Beethoven’s last work, opus 111, was
an exquisite illustration by Mr. Mar-
riner of this transcendent period of
the Titan.
