-. Synthesis Between Greek and

Alexandria.
NEW FAITH ALLEGORICAL
The Revertnd Kirsopp Lake, Winn
- Professor of Ecclesiastical History at
Harvard University, presented a tec-
ture on “The Early* Greek Fathers,”
in Goodhart Hall,
‘November 9. Dr.
duced by Miss Park, who briefly sum-
marized the history -of the Horace
White Memorial Lectures, given at
Bryn Mawr, endowed by a fund estab-
lished by his daughter. So far the
lecturers have been old teachers of
the college itself—Dr: Shorey and Dr.
Frank. “When I came to speak of
Saturday evening,
Lake -was intro-
- Dr. Lake,” Miss Park added, “I almost
said that he was a third;” hot only is
his daughter a student in college, but
also he has come in previous years to
speak .in any way for which we could
induce him to come, and this year we
have induced him for a “lecture in
which we have grown to have the
._The.setieshas-
been. in. “good ‘chronological - order,”
Homer, Plato and the Roman Repub-
lic; now it is the early development of
the Chfistian Greeks. “I hope Dr.
Lake will not object to our thinking
of his adding a kind of semi-laurel to
Bryn Mawr.”
“T do not know what i is the best way
of. approaching the Greek Literature
of the Early Church,” Dr. Lake opened
his talk; “but though other methods
are quite possible, the one that most
‘appeals to me is to begin with Alex-
andria, and the peculiar ‘problem of
life in that city.’ In the first cen-
tury, there was an effort to do some-
thing toward synthesis between Greek
and Semitic learning; the difference
between the two views of life,, was
that. in general the Semitic world was
more anxious to establish a code of
conduct than to inquire into the nature
of things whereas the Greeks were
more given to formulate the system. of
How these two-forms of liv-
ing could be brought together was an
acute problem in Alexandria, where so
many Jews of wealth and culture were
constantly in. contact with the best in
. the Greek world and were obliged to
attempt a synthesis. The leader of
the most_distinguished™eass* in ATex-]
‘andria was Philo; his technique was
a leavening of the religion of the Jews
~ with the learning of the Greeks, and
it has a peculiar resemblance to the
‘method of the Middle Ages; he ac-
cepted in his doctrine both the revela-
tion in the Old Testament and the dis-
coveries of science and philosophy in
Plato and in the other Greek writers,
and his task is to ‘prove both right,
just as it was~the task of Thomas
Aquinas to prove Christian theology
in no way..contradictory to the phi-
losophyof- Aristotle. Neither Philo
nor Thomas Aquinas succeeded, but
the experiment was interesting, and the
books produced are among the
triumphs of the human - intellect.
Finally the theory of this Alexandrian
scholar was, that by the correct use of
allegory you could reconcile anything
in the Old Testament with anything in
Plato, but he never gave up the belief
that the literal sense of the Old Testa-
He died before
he ‘had quite completed the task of
proving how both these truths were
ever equally true. He was not only
concerned with the intellectual problem
of synthesis, but also with the emotion
or experience we call religion, that
experience of ‘which the leading fea-
tures are three in number: a sense of
unity, for man can break down the
wall of pergonality separating him
from other people, and the universe
can give man a sense of unity with the
world as a whole; a sense of. purifica-
tions a taking away of the impediments

Miss Carey Defines the New
Cult in League Service
“The Cult - of “Self-Expression, spelt
with capital letters, is abroad in the land
and it is very difficult’ to know what to
think about it. If we ignores it, ‘we’ are
sure to have a feeling that we are miss-
ing somethingr If we plunge into it, we
are often not satisfied because it is’ so
inconsistent with.many ideas that we
have inherited, or. even with our sense
of good taste. So we, are baffled—and
sometimes follow the guide who has the
loudest voice.
“This is no new problem with which
wevare faced. It is nothing more or less
than the battle that has*raged from age
to. age between. excess. and repression.
It is the Stoic against the Epicurean,
the Puritan against the Cavalier, the con-
ventional Victorian poirit of view against
the aesthetic” movement of the “eighteen
nineties.
“One aspect of the present battle that is
especially interesting is the fact that no
ldud or convincing voice has been raised
against the doctrine. .Ever since the
war, books have been appearing like Mr.
Bertrand Russell’s The Right «To Be
Happy, in which the authors proclaim in
no uncertain terms the privilege of the
individual to do what he pleases regard-
less of social circumstances. « More: sig-
nificant ‘than literary_expositions-.is—the-
actual working out of this philosophy in
the lives of people. It is. by no means
confined to our Own generation, although
our world sometimes ‘think from our
triumphant self-consciousness that it is.
In-the whole of society it. may be seen:
in the decisions of the.divorce courts;
in the lawbreaking by virtuous citizens ;
in the turning away from .organized
Christianity to the new Humanism, which
gives a cosmic sanction.to whatever mian
takes it into his head to do. Until re-
cently the only resistence has been: made
by scattered and desperate parents, by
occasional teachers, and by ministers who
have preached to ears’ which, unfortu-
nately, are usually_already. converted. I
believe, however, that the reaction has
set in. Mr. Walter Lippman has struck
the first blow. . Intellectual that he is,
cynic, perhaps, in the eyes of many
people, irreligious in ‘the conventional
sense of the word, in his book, The Pre-
face to Morals, he has analyzed the point
of view to our world and then shown it
up for what it is: a faddish, limited, and
completely unsatisfying philosophy.

~~ «sta India Biscussed
QOn--Monday evening, November 4, Dr.
D.' K. Karve, Principal of the Indian
Women’s University at Poona, spoke on
the subject“ of .women’s education in
The difficulties of education in
India for both men and women have been
very great, explained Dr. Karve, as
formerly the Indian languages were not
very developed andshence English was
used as the medium of instruction. This
still. continues, unfortunately
since it is’ very different from the In-
dian languages and-therefore very diffi-
cult for students to learn. .The educa-
tion of men, nevertheless, has made con-
siderable advance because it enables
young men to enter the professions and
government service. Money, therefore,
is readily spent on the education of boys,
whereas. the education of girls lags far
behind. Even so, only nine percent. of
the population of India at the. present
‘time can read and write, and. only two
‘per cent. of these are women. Therefore
great disparity results between men and
women so far as. general information and
‘knowledge are concerned.
The most important question in India,
said Dr. Karve, is how to bridge this
wide gulf. Of great disadvantage is
the fact that the system of education for
women has-been exactly the same as
that for men, so that women were de-
nied. the opportunity of learning useful
and applicable subjects suchas home
economics, hygiene, and domestic science.
Therefore, continued “Dr.
was need of a system for women which
jwould give them general. culture and.

Our New Civilization Is Based

Efficiency.
s
NATIONS SHOULD TRADE
“My subject tonight is a very preten=
tious one,” began M. Andre Siegfried in
his lecture entitled European and Ameri-
can Civilizations. “If I dare to attempt
it, it is-not because I myself am pre-
tentious. It is a problem’ that in my
country. we have discussed every day
since the Great War, simply because
the French realize that there is a civ-
ilization in America entirely opposed to
a European civilization. «Thus on the
two: sides of the ocean there are two
distinct civilizations: if one is more
éfficient than’ the other, that is if
America is more efficient than Europe,
what is the less-efficient nation to do?
This is the problem.
“When in 1898.1. first’ came to Amer-
ica- this. new civilization was not yet
existing. America in those days was a
political power of secondary impor-
tance. Its whole attention was focused
on’ the business of conquering itself in
-theWest. To Europeans America
seemed romantic and exotic at that
time. You had eccentric millionaires,
Southern planters with: their Negroes,
and Western adventurers—cowboys and
gold prospectors. Most of all you had
the West with its great riches, liberty,
phantasy. and action. . When you
wanted more of anything you had to go
West. Now you have the Middle
West that is different. The sentiment
pf the frontier is lost, and today’ people
go to New York for their excitement.
“In Europe we regret that this old:
America toes not exist any more. Then
you had&so many poetical qualities, and
you very ‘carefully “preserved your
Spiritual bondage with us. across the
ocean. The great men of that age were
in touch with Europe: Lincoln be-
longed to America, but also he seemed
to belong to all humanity. Since the
war there ha§ arisen a new civilization
which has changed not only externals
but spiritual values. It seems to me
that what has caused this (perhaps I
am wrong) is a new conception of
‘| methodically organized,production now
paramount in America: The American
is the greatest organizer of his day;
as such we ‘admire him, yet at the
game time 4 feel strange and away-feam
him.
“The center of gravity of this coun-
try seems to have shifted. When I
first came to America it was in the
East; now, according to the 1921 cen-
sus, it is in Indiana. This unmistakedly
means that the real center of the coun-
try, from the. point of view of popu-
lation ‘and production, now is in the
Middle West, and that there is a pos-
sibility of the standards of this geo-
graphical section being imposed upon
‘the whole country. It seems that the
East is becoming westernized very
rapidly. In 1898 I felt that I was in a
cultural colony of. Europe. Now in
the West people live in a big internal
courtyard with plenty of:light and am-
ple space, but little opportunity to
look outside. Thus the’ people are
politically, economically and culturally
autonomous. They live on what they
produce and don’t bother with Europe.
Their—men--are—men-~like--Ford -and
Hoover, who—if—they—are-known-—are
not understood by Europeans, despite
the fact that they are great personali-
ties. The important word of America
today is ‘efficiency,’ a word for a long
time not translatable for us; indeed,
we had no use for it. So today in this
find the. gulf between Europe’ and
America greater than ever before.
“The conception of production is the
new-thing-in-America,..When, we think
of America: our first impression is of
its enormous abundance of natural re-
sources, our second of its constant
scarcity of labor. As an almost inevi-
table result of this” Scheme of things |

Dr. ‘Wagoner Lectures
~ the Graduates
“In an old manuscript of about 370
B. C.,-a conversation is recorded be-
tween two philosophers, Morosophus
and Protagoras, which will probably
illustrate what I mean by sane dormi-
tory life,’ Dr. Wagoner related in the
e
at the invitation of Dean Schenck.
The conversation,
translation of the manuscript, pértained
to the esséntial nature of madness and
disease. Protagoras conjectures that
they are merely two ways of ‘showing
inability to sustain the weight of the
everyday world, or, more_explicitly,-in-
ability to conform oneself not only to
things but to people, so as to live with-
out the constant discord that reduces
effectiveness-so markedly. A group in
which each individual lived shut up in
himself, unintelligible to others and
with no comprehension of them, would
be a group of madmen. Such a life
would be one of extreme weakness, if
possible at all. Now, Protagoras
argues, suppose these individuals were
suddenly endowed with the ability to
agree and act together in some partial
ways—would not the-entire community
be* benefited and strengthened accord-
‘And the more they agreed in
certain fundamental conceptions which
are necessary to life and well-being,
the more_ efficiently and-the—tess—like
madmen. would they act.
“If I could be the means of bringing
this group to agree and act together in
respect’ .to preventive medicine, I
should feel I had served a good pur-
pose in this talk tonight,” Dr. Wago-
ner continued. She then proceeded. to
cite certain general principles which it
was well to keep in mind. For ex-
ample, that health is desirable -not-so
much for its own sake as for the free-
dom it gives to pursue life’ and happi-
ness; that-ill-health is largely—patheti-
cally so—preventative; that the causes
of ill health are to be found in our-
selves, our habits especially, and in our
environment, and that therefore self-
knowledge and a knowledge of one’s
environment are the strongest weapons
in combating disease. “Medical aid
should come second, and should never
be relied upon to the exclusion of
simple preventive measures.
In the practical application of such
general principles, Dr. Wagoner sug-
gested the following “Dont’s”:
“Don’t forget, the present in the
| plans. for the futureresbeertss to-dcno¢e
the present is always. to discount the
future—and live a twenty-four hour
day in which work, ‘play, social con-
tacts, sufficient food, sleep, etc., all
have their proper place. :
“Don’t neglect little illk—do some-
thing constructive about them. Poor
teeth, tonsils, frequent headaches,
colds, etc., are often outward signs of
inward neglect.
“Don’t tolerate neglected ills in
others; particularly if ofa contagious
variety. Be hard-hearted toward the
martyr that can’t afford to give in to
an 111.”
At the conclusion of the talk the
meeting was thrown open ‘to general
discussion which centered around ques-
tions concerning colds, cigarettes, sleep
and the use of drugs and stimulants as
home remedies.

STUDENTS RESPONSIBLE
President Park called a special chapel
meeting in Goodhart Hal], and spoke
to the student body on the subject of
the relations, past and present, between
the Self-Government Association and
the administration of ‘Bryn Mawr Col-
lege.
the fact that she wished to speak very
directly and frankly to the students;
it was, perhaps, this opening statement,
combined with the spontaneity and
open-mindedness of the whole tone of
the speech, which made it one of the
most enthusiastically received of many
talks that have been made to the under-
graduates in past years. .
Miss Park went on to say, “When I
read the CotLece News last Thursday,
with the announcement of the Self-
up at home with a cold that made. it
impossible for me to use that chapel
hour or Friday’s to ask you to let me
speak to~-you: Obviously there was
need for a very immediate, a very di-
rect, and a-very accurate statement of
the relation of the President and the
Dean of the College to the Self-Gov-
ernment Association.
“In the agreement that was made
between the Self-Government. Associa-
tion and the then Trustees, now Di-
rectors, of Bryn Mawr College, almost
forty years ago, there was a definition
in simple but, I think, very adequate
terms, of the province which was
handed over by the Directors of the
College, not at the moment to the
Self-Government Association, but to all
the stftdents of the College. They were,
in so» many words, given control of
all matters relating to control of them-
selves, with the exception of those hav-
ing to do with the housekeeping of the
College and in ‘matters directly under
control of the authorities’ of the Col-
lege.’ ‘I am using the phrase of, the
original agreement, and it has never
College as referring to anything but
academic affairs. The matters lead-
Ling.c~ > -degse>; for-instance;~are* nos
in the hands of the students. This
‘matter of academic affairs I have often
had to explain, especially outside the
College, because in many others the
regulation of examinations, for ex-
ample, has been in the hands of the
students. This has never been true at
Bryn Mawr, and the explanation is an
easy one. It is the College which ob-
Pennsylvania to give degrees; it is re-
sponsible, in return, for a choice of
such work as. shall be adequate for the
degree which it gives, for the resources
of the College which make the teaching
possible, and for the choice of a faculty
which will ‘make possible the carrying
out of that work. The College is also.
responsible, I believe, for the integrity
of the work of the students; Bryn
Mawr has always felt this responsi-
bility and has kept in its own hands
the control of academic matters, so
that it may stand * behind its degrees.
“Now, clearing away: the academic
responsibility, the students have com-
plete control of their own ,conduct,
given to-them absolutely, within their
own area. I want to discuss, this
morning, the possible infringements on
that “area; first of all I shall take-up
the traditional one of the Directors.
It has-been commonly said that the
Trustees, in giving over this field to

QUIET
Quiet, although one: of the most
normal constituents of a successful
life, is strangely disregarded in col-
lege life, which in theory is. both
normal and successful. In spite of
, the popular ‘conception of what the
student should.do, namely, to have
a good time pure and simple, we
have to admit that there_is neces-
sary drydgery to which we must
occasionally bow. We try to plough
through this drudgery as quickly
and supposedly as thoroughly as
possible, and it is a logical sequence
that to do so we have to concen-
trate all our powers. Some claim
that so deep is their concentration
that they can ignore disturbances
around them, but the ordinary,
frantic’ student struggling with a
report, is likely to feel none too
pleasant toward the agents that
shake the hall with their voicings.
It is an inevitable fact that there is
always someone -struggling with a
report; it is equally inevitable that
there is usually noise. Everyone
at some time wants to express him-
self by means of noise, but also

To the Editor:
‘We realize that the word “attitude”
should be clarified in this college 4s it
is common knowledgé that one’s attitude
toward life is what counts; hence the col-
lege attitude is important. At Bryn
Mawr there has always been strong feel-
ing and controversy, e. g., is personal
liberty or isn’t it, and not only that but
what should one do with it? If there is
and one makes no use of it, it is obviously
a farce.
We ask that the whole matter be re-
ferred. to the ‘President and the Dean
through. the Self-Government Associa-
tion. We advise this procedure so that
the power instinct in each department
of the college be allowed to flower; hence
our original intention will .be fulfilled
‘Become involved with the personal ele-
ments and persecution, whether our pur-
pose be defeated or no.
The strong feelings of immature per-
sons resenting their own inefficiency. in
their attitude toward life’ must rightly
find expression in the columns of the

coveralls.. If the matter cannot be de-
cided without snooping (underhand in-

We were surprised to discover that
a company so distinguished and diver-
sified should Jeave to posterity such an
unimpressive. contribution in grave-
yards. The weeping willows and
skulls and cross bones ‘of old New
England are absent, as is .also the.
spicy gloating of the deceased over the
impending death of others. We miss
the tidbits of Copps Hills “and» Ply-
mouth and look about for some com-
pensating virtue. Perhaps.it lies in the
august character of the graveyard’s in-
habitants. We were informed that
here were interred “seven signers of
the Declaration of Independenée, (a
number: of famous non-signers), and
other persons of distinction,” and we
immediately explored to find out who
these “other persons” might be. Dr.
Kearsley,, General Jacob Morgan and
Major General Cadwalader,we discov-
ered, and flags marked the graves of
many more heroes. But, personally,
we feel that the palm for distinction
goes to. “Mr. Thomas Hockley, of this
city, Merchant” about whom the fol-
lowing. lines were written: '
“The ashes of a worthy man
Beneath this tomb do rest,
Who -filledbeloved-life’s-ltttle-span, —-
Then soared to meet the Blest.
“The kindest. husband and warmest
friend and parent kind did. join,
Whose social virtues mild did blend
and Hockley onceswere mine:
g ;
“A real Christian heart, he cflmly met
his fate,
Resigned he faced that dreadful dart
which ends our mortal state.
“His weeping spouse this marble rears,
but words her grief can’t paint.
The wife the woman melts in‘tears and
mourns him though a saint.”
We were convinced: by length alone,
and joined with the weeping wife in
rendering “Hockley” his due.
If the merchant represents the ming-
ling of all the virtue#®®ertain of them
appear in others. There is the young
lady whose “temper, elegance of man-
ner, cheerful canversation, and un-
blemished virtue’ endear her to her
“friends, and the youth:
“Beneath this marble ‘stone there lies
a youth
Of purest morals and unsullied truth,
So great his innocence, so great the

All gracious “heaven ‘soon snatched him

There is the wife whose
“(Her) last request prohibits more,
Let angels speak her praise,”
and the family of children whose ami-
able and exemplary natures-reach their
climax in the brother who “for rigid
puncutality and love of order (he) was
remarkable.”
We had to »€ontent ourselves with
| coats-of-arms for ornaments, except in
the case of Rosalind,: who was _ repre-
sented by a rose, and one charming
reproduction of the resurrection scene.
We found age, venerable walls, stones
and shrubs, but we found chiefly “dis-
tinction”:
“With talents to serve. virtue, to
adorn wit, to delight, and affections to
enjoy this world, he departed in the
fbloom of his youth, leaving .to his
afflicted friends the consolation of his
immortal. bliss.”

Book Review
Atmosphere of. Love .
By Andre Marois; translation by Dr.
Joseph Collins. (D. Appleton & Co.)
Atmosphere of Love is a study of
a-manvand the*two women he loved. The —
book. is-written:in two parts in the form
of letters. In the first part, Phillipe
Marcenat narrates’ his version of his
affair with the woman he loves, Odile;
and in’ the latter part his second wife’ *
Dresrate her estimate of Marcenat. By :
is ingenious device the author affords
us a complete and living portrait of the
hero. Thus we have a psychological
analysis which is, both * profound and
clarifying. Marcenat, as he himself real-
ized and wrote in his letter, is of dual
personali He sis. at once an ‘idealist
In his early youth he
formulated for himself the ideal woman, *
whom he called his “Amazone,” but as
he grew older he “realized that the be-
loved woman was a myth in real life,”
and the. cynic took refuge in his books.
Yet the romantis¢ist. won out and in
Odile, his first wife, he believes he has
found his’ “Amazone”. at last. © Even
when he discovers, on further intimacy,
that she is not the perfect being of his
dream, still he cotinues to love her with
ardor an? violence; it .is a greater pas-:
sion which #estroys their love—jealousy. -
They-—are—separated- and Odile’ marries ~
another mar, an unfortunate venture end-
ing in her suicide. Mercenat is dis-
tracted, for he has not ceased to love
her; now he idealizes her in death and
worships her memory.
Eventually Mercenat marries Isabelle
who, in some ways, reminds him of Odile
and who is intellectually congenial. This
part of the story we learn from Isabelle’s
letters. Here the tables are turned and
it is Isabelle whose love is strongest.
Mercenat now condemns in Isabelle the °
same characteristics Odile had con-
demned in him—he hates her stayeat-,
‘home attitude, her eternal questionings,
all manifestations of jealousy-—It-isIsa-
belle ~ who -burps with jealousy when
Mercenat develops . an affair with
Solange, a ard and brilliant woman.
Solange, at length, deserts him for an-
other and for one brief moment we fore-
| see the possibility of happiness after all?
But very suddenly Mercenat becomes ill!
with broncho-pneumonia and dies. .
Although Atmosphere of Love is pri-
mafily a novel, and one of vividness and
distinction, yet it is more than a novel.
In reality it is a subtle and probing
study of the nature and course of love
and the disastrous effects of human jeal-
ousy. And this real aim is enhanced
rather than conceajed by that samessym-
pathetic and penetrating treatment: which
we admired in Disraeli and Ariel, and
by the charm and originality which have
endeared ‘M. Maurois to his many read-
ers throughout Europe and America.

materially. Yet, judging from the con-
versations about us on the campus,
the ignorance of so many as to the
most primary factors of the subject
have inspired us to comment briefly on
the present situation. ‘
For some time conditions have been
such that-a slight cause only would
bring about a collapse. The explana-
tion for this is somewhat as follows:
Since. 1923 the price: of stocks, al-
though fluctuating _ somewhat, has
tended upward and the aniount of the
rise is really startling. This steady
and considerable increase in the price
had brought much profit to those own+
ing stocks and their profits tempted
others to buy. The steadiness of the
rise meant that nearly all who bought
stocks duririg the last five or six years
found that their stocks could be sold
for more than they paid for them.
A few sold out and pocketed ,their’
profits. but many thousands, instead of
selling, bought more, and many more
thousands who had not’ yet bought, :
began to buy. The mania for speculat-
ing in stocks spread over the greater
part of the population afid more people
came into speculation than the world
had ever known. Even foreigners
bought largely of American’ stocks.
Farmers, wage-earners, small-salaried
people became familiar with brokers’
offices and stock quotations, and
women took to stock buying almost as
universally as they did to cigarettes.
With all this crowd of buyers. the price
of stocks went up in many, many cases

"The New Russia’
By Dorothy Thompson.
Miss Thompson, who in private life
is Mrs. Sinclair Lewis, ‘is. one the
‘foremost: newspaper women 4nd for-
eign correspondents ift the United
States today.. The greater part of this
book appeared originally as a series
of articles in The New York Evening
Post, and is in-main a familiar enough
story to those who read books on
Russia. f
Especially noteworthy are the chap-
ters in which Miss Thompson. speaks
of the systematic “hate campaign” car
ried on by the Soviets against the en-
tire outside world. This is “compar-
able with nothing ever seen in a coun-
try in the time of peace.” The hatred
of the capitalist is inculcated in chil-
dresffrom the earliest infancy in every
school, and with such relentless. zeal
and system, that if is really impressive.
All school subjects have invariably
this purpose, all songs taught to the
‘children (and quoted in part by Miss
Thompson) are intended to kindle the
flame of hatred.. The children may
grow up ignorant—for in the author’s
“collective ignorance’—but they must
be good - -revolutionists.
A’ further development in the educa-
tion of, the children as good revolu-
tidnists is the practice of banishing all
knowledge which cannot be reconciled
*with the Marxian materialism. Every
lesson, no matter what the subject,
triés to bring the pupil closer to the
practical problems of the state admin-
tation. Geography, history and sci-
ence’ are all taught only as they apply
td the Soviet ‘system. Is it surprising,
then, that the ideal i in their edtcational
system is ‘not the development of the
individual “as we find it in most coun-
tries, but the development of the group
aga unit in’ the government? * The
_ alms and purpose of the Soviet govern-
“ment aré-so-embedded in the_minds._of
the children that this minority govern-
miént is rapidly gaining a_real hold on
the ‘people.
The statistics which the author gives
on the™'conditions of ,the schools and
general education hardly support the
Soviet” claim that the masses are ‘being
educated. The primary ‘schools havé
idtbed det only 3 per cenit., ‘although
the number of pupils has increased 39
per cent. since 1914. The ‘number of
these j institutions ‘has actually decreased
since 1920. ” Secondary educational: in-
stitutions | are less numerous than be-
fore the revolution—94 per ‘cent. of the
pre-war number—with 139 per cent. of
the pre-war ‘pupils. The universities
make a better showing: on “paper, but
for many the name is absolutely a
thisndmer. “One’ Such institution was
established for the dispersement of
knowledge to Negro porters from
America! It is true, though, that in a
budget, which is half the budget under
the old regime, the expenditure is 68
per cent. of the pre-war allotment for
education. However, the Russian
school system, with all its cree is to
~“the author, “are “most ex anu tHe
_Mmost_revolutionary. of all Russian eX
periments, because the world cannot
be fundamentally affected by a change
in the ownership of Russia’s coal
mines, but it can he prafoundly shaken
by a change in the mental and emo-
tional contents of an entire people, par-
ticularly if part of the new content is
a mé€ssianic belief in the world mis-
sion.”
The open avowal of atheism in Rus-
sia and the support which it has re-
ceived by the government is one of the
enigmas of.communism to the outside
world. It. is interesting to note that
Lenin has taken-the place of Christ
in the minds of the people and that
the. collective group or mass is their
God. It is necessary that the people
have some emotional outlet; so this
cult of Lenin-worship has been , con-
sciously fostered by the government.
Most significant, too, is the already
beginning idealization of Lenin. A
new mythology has sprung up around
him, which is being vigorously denied
by the government, but the tendency is
there among the peasants. . Those who
seek to justify this new faith predict
that it will die out once its purpose is
fulfilled, but considering that, the pur-.
pose of the revolution is international,
one cannot: help but feel that the
chances of the cult dying’ out are small.
The chapter on “Lame Eros” uses
novels and short stories as a_back-
ground instead of government. statis-
tics, Out of these stories plus her own
contacts, the author has come to the
conclusion that both men and women
dislike the freedom of Russia’s, mar-
riage laws and that out of the new}.
code is growing a fear and hate of
| man by woman and of woman by man.

“emancipation” of women, she
fears, has only sterilized them. She
tells” us that “in‘the matter of sexual
morals Russia is more * confused: than
‘the heretically discussed younger gen-
eration in America.” Yet she has a
vague suspicion ‘that a new type of
comradeship is growing up’ and that

Miss ‘Kingsbury in Russia ;
Two American social research experts,
Professor Susan Kingsbury, of Bryn
Mawr College, and Dr. Mildred Fair-
child, who are now spending six months
in Russia to study the position of- women
in the new Soviet economy, have just
returned to this city after a month’s
trip to Nizhni Novgorod, Stalingrad and
Rostoff, where, they said, they received
good | impressions of the industrial and
economic progress. .
“I would not call it a comfortable
journey,” said Professor Kingsbury, “be-
Cause part of the time we traveled ,on
hard (third-class) wooden benches on
the trains, and the Volga River boat’
service was disorganized by low water.
Slept on Tables at Dock.
“At Nizhni Novgorod | the restaurant
and bedding suddenly disappeared’ from
the boat, having been seized in lieu of
taxes by the authorities. from the private
concessionaires, So we had nothing but
ted and black bread’ for twenty-four:
hours. At Kazan Wwé spent the night on
tables at a dock awaiting the boat, and
almost everywhere the sanitary arrange-
ments were worse than primitive.
“But we were imimeiisely’ struck: by
the eagerness of local authorities to help
our ifivestigation. There was no _ at+
tempt at concealment or obstruction, On
the contrary, they showed naive pride
at what sometimes seemed only moderate,

where 'thére was an atmosphere of intense
activity and ‘of much being done, which

States. ©
e“For instance, the -metallurgic works
at Nizhni Novgorod has buildings of
real beauty and a magnificent “House of
Culture’ for the workers with a theatre
arid club rooms. The agricultural and
machine plant at Rostoff has one of the
finest’ factory buildings to be seen any-
where, with an arched roof ‘and an ar-
rangement of ‘glass panels providing’ dif-
fused’ light. It i° admittedly ‘more
expensive than. the typical” modern
Américan factory being erected by the
Kahn firm at Stalingrad for tractors, but
it is ‘more effective and I: imagine more
atenceri to work in. Mi

“Stalingrad is a town of extraordi-
nary interest because it is being rebuilt
almost from the ground up. No Ameri-
can ‘boostets’ could surpass the Stalin-
graders in civic enthusiasm. Situated at.
the junction of the projected_Volga-Don
canalwo*-Usnezad—will be the-Soviet’s
Detroit,’ the residents assert proudly, and
the huge new commercial buildings for
the workers are already in the course of
construction.”
The A'merican engineer Calder in
charge of the tractor plant found the
Russians, good and energetic workmen,
although, he. said, one-had to show them
everything but that once they understood
they remembered, and the buildings are
advancing even faster than was pro-
jected, the American educators reported.
From Samara Saratof« the American
women visited villages. and - colleétive

College Reforms and Reformers
Recently the pages of magazines in this
country have been flooded with articles
offering suggestions for reforming the
colleges and universities. Most of these
articles have attacked the methods of
instruction and “student indifference.”
The would-be reformers : seem to have
ever ; higher ‘education Has been popu-
Llarized. to sych an extent that the modern
student body represents nothing more
than a typical cross-section of the Ameri-
can community. few generations ago

With a cultural background, excepting
a few individuals who sought a college
education because pf an inherent desire
for knowledge. ;
In sharp contrast is the modern stu-
dent body, which consists to a great ex-
tent of individuals where only: qualifi-
cations for a scholastic career, are the
‘ability -to pass a perfunctory entrance

Americans are notorious, for our lack
of interest in the cultural aspects, of life;
the average college. student reflects this
national tendency away from culture to
a marked degree, The petty social ac-
tivities of the week-ends, fraternities and
athletics attract. by far the greater. por-
tion of the. undergraduate’s interest.
As an inevitable result of the modern
system of mass education, the college
student body is characterized by an inert
sort- of mediocrity. Before any really
effective reform can be accomplished in
higher education, we believe that one of |}
two things is necessary—that ‘rigid en-
trance requirements be established, or
that the rank and file of American citi-
zenry adopt an active interest in cultural
affairs —Daily Tar Heel.

“Let us for a moment bring the whole
question down to our own experience and
sphere . of interests. How can we: de-
velop a sound point of view. toward this
Cult of Self-Expression ? Ignore it we
cannot if we would. It speaks ‘to -us
school and claims us through the exam-
ple of our friends. It cries ‘aloud from
the pages of the novels we read and
whispers subtly through the ‘New’ ‘psy-
chology.
An Important Issue in College.
“Moreover, it comes as a particular
‘issue to the college student, man or
‘woman. She spends four of the. most
important years of Her life in isolation
from the World. At a time when her
emotions are perhaps most difficult to
handle, she is plunged vicariously into all
sorts of * experience. Apart from the
reading she does for her own pleasure,
the literature included in her courses is
not limited by her own experience. It
is-no small wonder that she feels a de-
sire to know at first hand the many .emo-
tions about which she constantly reads.
“Natural as is this point of view, it
‘may perhaps be summed up in the fact
that one slips into a certain general atti-
tude, or even into actual conduct, which
does not make for pleasure or peace of
mind. Here, I believe, lies the great
weakness of the Cult of Self-Expression :
it does not really bring what it claims to
bring—either the highest self-develop-
ment or the greatest happiness.
“In the first place, it gives us no clear-
cut philosophy which we ‘can judge as
either good or bad. Under its cover hide
any number of present- day tags and
catchwords : sophistication, individualism,
and other fine phrases. By claiming
these as our own we are able to sur-,
round ourselves with an interesting at-
ourselves.
asked Alice. ‘Well,’ answered the Mock
Turtle, ‘there was Mystery—Mystery,
ancient and modern.’ Always. men have
felt the pull of the unusual, so that they
fare especially prone to catch hold of a
doctrine which makes them seem to
themselves - ‘and their fellows mysterious
or sophisticated. When, we look at the
doctrine from a detached point of view,4
we find too often that it is simply a
cloak for oar own laziness . or “ super-
ficiality.-
“Granted, ‘however, that this is not
always true: that the individual ‘may
genuine way of ordering his life. Even
then it has its dangers. It is apt to lead
us into an emotional realm that very
few laymen know well eriough to be able
to handle adequately. Like many other
sensationalists in history, in our anxiety
for expérience we are willing to try any-
thing, without the faintest regard as to
where it will lead us. The plain fact
is that we are not animals, and if we
insist on acting like animals we may
manage it for g while, but sdoner or
later our other instincts—which are in-
cidentally, equally strong—will rise “up
and plague «1s. There we have the basis
for. the complex or even the neurosis,
which we have a tendency to scoff at,
but which we simply cannot disregard as
a real danger in our highstrung, mechani-
cal age.. Ask any psychiatrist what is
the cause of the majority of emotional up-
sets.which are becoming more and more
common. He will tell you that it is the
fact that the individual tries to cut loose
from his training and his instinct for
being decent to other people—tries to cut
loose but cannot quite get away with it.
A complete animal never has these diffi-
culties, nore has the complete angel; it
is only Man, who has not. the sense to
recognize that he is a mixture of the two
and that he cannot entirely aha one or
the other.
“We may not, of course, be bold
enough to experiment, but still may hold
this individualistic point of view. Here
again the result is dangerous—although
the danger is not so active. We sink into
a fion-social, fossile existence, concen-
trated on ourselves and our own feel-
ings, careless of what others are think-
ing and doing. This in many’ ways, I
think, is worse. It has nene of the ele-
ments of interest and daring that are. in
the other—and certainly it_is no less like
an animal.

~ Dancer to Give Performance
As we have announced before, Angna
Enters is to dance at college, in Goodhart
Hall, on. Friday evening, November 15.
This performance is for the benefit of
the Regional Scholarship Fund of East-
ern Pennsylvania and Delaware, but the
dancing itself is ‘not of a type to be
comparable with the average charity en-
tertainment. ‘
Miss Enters toured Armevins during
the season of 1928-29, and she was given
the most enthusiastic praise by all the
critics. The following is a typical quo-
tation, taken from an article written by
Louis Kalonyme, and printed in the Re-
flex of March, 1928: “For she is not
merely the gréat mime and dancer, but a
poet, a creative painter-composer of dance
forms. dances you see a mind
workin. h the tools that make up the
human body. It-is hard dancing in the
sense that the line in- Picasso is hard
drawing. As in Picasso every line, every
gesture, is thé inevitable, esthetically
valid one, an essential unit in an arbi-
trary design. Nothing superfluous is ad-
mitted, the lines are. individually alive
though parts of a rounded ensemble. No
gesture is haphazarded, there is ‘no spur-
of-the-moment ecstasy, or what: you ‘will.
Every gesture is controlled by the dancer.

of feminine moods, emotions, poses, man-
ners and sentiments.”

German Youth Shelter Homes
(Translation) By Hans . Buchner.
EDITOR’S NOTE—Mr. Buchner,

A special expression of the German
Youth Movement, which originated be-
fore the World War as a protest on the
part of young people against: artificial
civilization and the false standards of
values of the nineteenth century, , is
itineracy and ‘camping.: Patterning
after the’ old ‘scholars -of the middle
ages, young fellows and students, out
of love for nature, fled into the woods
and hills of our‘homeland, where they
led an adventurous outdoor life. In
their excessive enthusiasm) they ig-
nored the comfortable accommodations
of a selfish age, and avoided, wherever
possible, restaurants' and hotels,, which
did not correspond with their manner
of living.
But after the World War, Soeh the
young and the old in Germany were
similarly impoverished. On that ac\
count, the simple manner of living,
which the sons of wealthy families,
and even those of the poorer class, had
formerly adopted in open contempt of
luxury, became the inevitable rule.
Boys and girls had often not enough
money to even “wander” at all. At
this juncture, the work of the Youth
Shelter Macc 72-7* began.
a aie
As early as 1910, Richard Schirr- |
“mann, a: public’ schol teacher; who”on
account of his age at that time was
excluded from the Youth Movement
proper, had recognized the importance
of Youth Itineracy. He knew that this
movement would have to be advanced
through the provision of proper accom-
modations, which would offer young
people what they wanted, namely
simple and hard sleeping quarters at a
reasonable price. Byt it was only
after the war, when the Youth Move-
ment experienced an umexpected jolt,
and when parents could not even afford
their children the price of a “wander-
ing” trip, that Schirrmann was success-
ful with his efforts. Especially towns
and communities upon whom. the care
of young people is incumbent, as well
as private. individuals, supported the
movement by financial advances and by
establishing appropriate shelter houses,
which became a part of the Youth
Shelter Work. In the year 1911 there
_.were seventeen. shelter houses in’ ex-
istence, which gave night accommo-
dation to 3000 persons. By-the year
1928, the number of shelter houses had
increased to 2200 with a total of 3,300,-
‘000 overnight accommodations for the
year.
The: old shelters are in the cellar or
on the attic floor. of schools, town halls
‘ and other: public. buildings; often” the

purpose, with modern equipment, such
as central heating, running water,
baths, sprays, dark rooms: for photog-
raphy and occasionally ski rooms, etc.
There are shelters beside the water,
suitable for water travelers, and others
in the mountains suitable for skiing en-
thusiasts. In Cologne there is a large
town shelter house, in Hohenstein in
the free State of Saxony; there is-even
a Youth Castle. In some shelters the
bed consists of only a mattress with
cover. Most of them, however, have
military field cots (usually . double-
banked like berths in a ship) in which-
bolsters are stretched over the bottom
boards. Boys and girls have separate’
sleeping quarters; in the day room they
have meals together. In many of the
shelter houses there is even a simple
canteen where cheap meals can. be ob-
tained.
The most difficult thing, of course,
was the development of a proper or-
ganization, and in particular, the fin-
ancing. A central union exists—‘Reichs-
Deutch Jugenherbergen
(National Union for German Youth
Shelters), upon which organization,
however, only the laying down of gen-
eral\ government rules and the con-
trol \are incumbent. Further, the
shelter, houses, which are necessarily
self-supporting, are united with smaller
diedenendent units, so-called districts, of
which there are 27, scgerding to their
jyocation’ in Germanys
The fundg, collected in gee individual
shelter houses consist principally of
overnight fees (averaging 5c for young
people under 20 and 10c to 20c for
members over 20 years of age), and
contributions received from towns, and
communities. The receipts of the dis-
tricts are made up of membership fees
paid by corporative members and in-
dividual members over 20 years of age,
of which there are 100,000 in the whole
of Germany, and state contributions.
The Saxon district received in the year
1928 an appropriation of approximately
$7000. The receipts of the National
Union originate finally from fees and
contributions, the fees from districts
and membership fees of the -national
unions and. foreign members. It is
the pride of the Youth Shelter Move-
much better use than that expended
by the state and communities for pris-
ons and hospitals. Prevention. is bet-
ter than cure!
That is. the Youth Shelter Work,
which, as a typically German move-
ment offering unlimited advantages to
the young people of ail nations, stands
in the world today as the only one of
its kind. Those who only. visit those
places where the anriouncement “Eng-
‘lish spoken” can be read, do not learn
much about Germany; and those who
have not sat. with German boys and
of the white scoured tables, have failed
to learn about an important: phase of

prevent it from doing its works peace-

Philo lived intensely in this emotion;
he believed, that not only the Jews
but also the Greeks had it and that
therefore the explanation of both was
valuable;. he atgued that since the
experience was the same; the expla-
nations of the Jews and the Greeks
were at least partly true and ulti-
mately meant the same thing; Moses
and Plato wefte concerned with the
same spirit. Philo was the greatest
intellectual force in the first century.
He was the representative of a large
body of highly-educated intelligent
Jews corresponding to the Reform
Jews of today, and it seems as though
the movement were really going to
succeed when the curtain goes down
and there is a period of darkness.
Whien the curtain goes up again the
Reform Jews have been swept. from
the map. Things were of a different
kind in the religious fields; the impor-
tant.elements were two types of Chris-
tianity, and his Liberal Christianity
was based on allegory; ft is not known
what happened in the dark interval to
end Liberal Judaism. or to start Lib-
eral Christianity; one may guess that
the former started the latter; this guess
is supported by the fact that the books
of Philo -were used in Christian circles,
but it cannot be proved that there was
a real passing over; some day in
Egypt we may find evidence to show
that the Jews were overtaken:by the
Christians, in their liberal movement.
Of the two forms Liberal Christian-
ity the one was destined not to sur-
vive; this was the movement of the
Gnostics;: little is known of their
origin but they had at least one hand
in Christianity; the thimg that is known
is that they. were interested in intellec-
tual.as_wellas. religious. problems;
their question was how do you account
for the miserable world, for they were
obsessed with a sense of sin and re-
jected the theory that. God Almighty
had created the wretched universe: the
création was a mistake; originally God
existed alone, or perhaps the first ex-
istence had two forms—death and
silence; from these came speech and
mind, and from these in turn. arose all
other things, last of all wisdom; wis-
donr as the last product of the divine
world was on the very edge of the
fullness of the God-Head, and it was
intensely curious about the centre of
the God-Head; it tried to get to the
centre but was thrown back and out
into the emptiness of space; the emo-
tion ‘of wisdom’s transient mistake
either produced matter or another
being who was the creator, the fabri-
cator of creation from unformed mat-
ter; it was all a tragic mistake with
the final result of the race of men,
who are mostly matter but of whom
some have the spark of the God-Head,
and the God-Head tries to redeem the
divine in man; the Crucifixion is an}.
allegory for what happens in the di-
vite Deing=—the Savior is “Saetched
out over the boundary to pull wisdom
back into the sphere of the divine and
‘with her finally. the divinity of crea-
tion; only matter is left and it can
easily be destroyed; the God-Head
cannot stand—the- divine to be lost. x
The Gnostic theory had an effect on
Alexandria,. and this came out espe-
cially in the treatment of the body—
some said that it does not matter what
you do to the body, others said that
the poor body has a hard time, so let
it enjoy itself while it can; since it
does not matter’to the spirit. There
was extreme asceticism and extreme
license, both arising from ‘the same
philosophic concept of the fundamental
mistake. The Gnostics were of the
same. attitude toward religion as Philo,
but’ their theology and their ethics
were different. All the proof we have
of the existence of their beliefs are the
documents written against them, to
make, the Gnostic theory appear
ridiculous and revolting, later writings
produced when the Gnostics were
wavering, and some Alexandrian politi-
cal notes—one a priceless manuscript
of notes taken down by Clement; had
it not been for Clement not nearly as
‘much had been known now about the
*Gnostics, but the ‘notes are character-
istic lecture notes, and it is hard to
tell where Clement ends and Gnosti-
cism begins.

Gnosticism and the fourth century

of Clement and Origen. Origen was
‘there was a feeble-tradition that he
was a Greek, but little is known about
hin: ~ Orthodox Christianity was: a
flourishing School; ‘Clement became
the head and taught the synthesis of
Plato and Christianity, as Philo taught
the synthesis of Plato and Judaism;
Clement was succeeded by Origen,
who was better known even though he
may not seem so original a thinker.
In the story of Origen’s life we meet
him first'as a youth and a prig; when
his father had been imprisoned and
was awaiting, martyrdom the boy
‘wrote to him begging him not to lose
the honour of martyrdom for the fam-
ily; that he was sincere is shown in
the fact that he proposed to become
a martyr himself; it is an interesting
sidelight’ on human-nature that his
mother did not attempt: to dissuade
him, but knowing that though willing
to be a martyr he would not be will-
foolishness by removing his clothes
(she certainly ought to be femembered
among the wise-women of
Church). After the successful martyr-
dom. of his father, Origen looked ‘out
for his family’s welfare by the unlikely |
method of teaching; he gave lectures
on the Classics and in Christian the-
ology; he’ accepted a chair’ in the
Catechetical School in Alexandria, but
he quarreled with the bishop, and he
lived out the rest of his life in Cae-
sarea, where he organized and founded
the great Catechetical Library; all
knowledge on the Greek side of the
Christian Church goes back to the
libraries of Caesarea, Alexandria, and
Jerusalem.
Origen developed the critical - side
of the Church; he produced a 1 edition
of the Bible in sixpcolumns of six dif-
ferent languages. Origen’s theory of
life was not that of the: Gnostics, but
it_.was_also_.far removed from the
Orthodox Christianity after his timé:
God is immaterial; his opponents con-
tended that -since-in—_the--Gospel _of
John God is Spirit, and since spirit is
a form of matter, then the Spirit of
God cannot be immaterial, the reason
being that the Stoic philosophy of the
time, considered spirit, ethereal mat-
ter. Origen spent pages in explaining’
that what John means’ is that God ‘is
Mind; this elucidation of the equation
between Spirit and Mind or immate-
riality, is of enormous importance.
Immateriality is like materiality in that
though incapable of separation it is
capable of distinctions. Souls were
created good by God in the begin-
ning; if they had. stayed righteous,
they would have remained -immaterial
as they originally were, but they were
evilly influenced and. they became ma-
terial—devils, men and angels; this
age-long process goes on until they
find the act of will that makes. them
see the worst and choose the better;
it may take myriads of aeons but in
the end all will be redeemed by divine
will, in the same. way.in which all fell]
by act of their own choice. This be-
4ife is the ground-workor Origet’s
theory, and it is an extraordinarily
thrilling and attractive scheme of
thought; much of Origen’s thought was
accepted by later Christian doctrines,
but the doctrine of souls was rejected
as heretical; there is a sad picture of
Origen’s study after His. death with the
monks burning his manuscripts, and
of Origen in Hell below. with .the
devils burning Origén> You can un-
derstand why things happen as si
do, later on.
The great problem is-ever: what- is
the relation between theology.and re-
ligion. You ‘feel that the picture of
the religion of*Philo, the Gnostics and
Origen was not so far from your own;
something in their, thought giyes you
a sense of unity, of purity and power.
Theology still, unfortunately, is opin-
ion, just as religion is emotion; but
opinion is not to: be despised for there
cannot be communication unless emo-
tions are translated into opinions.
Opinion, howevet, changes from gen-
eration to generation, while emotion
remains the same; although they ex-
pressed different opinions, they were
feeling the same thing; their experi-
ence was almost identical with ours.
Opinion enables a truer perspective

it is necessary to have an opinion that

” Riches Blind Nation
Jacksonville, Ill. Oct. 14 (AP. )—Dr.
Alexander Meiliejohn, chairman of the
experimental ‘college at the University
of Wisconsin, speaking today at the four-
day centennial celebration of Illinois Col-
‘lege, called for an educators’ war-against
the influence of material wealth on the
nation. The address, extolled Plato’s
republic, ' which would give -the -wealthy
no authority and the authorities no
wealth. <
=
“We are a newly rich people,” Pro-
fessor Meik#éjohn: said, “and we are in
serious danger. Shall the blind lead
the blind?” =
Likening America .to a rich man’s
house containing, besides the rich man,
a tutor and a son, Dr. Meiklejohn
branded as an evil the rich man’s con-
trol over the tutor.
The speaker attacked “the rating of
the United States as the greatest nation
because it is the richest, and Great Brit-
ain as the next greatest because it is the
next richest.”
“T would. not destroy this new-found
wealth,” Dr. Meiklejohn explained. “TI
would destroy the confusion it has
| caysed_and_learn_how—to_use—the-wealth—-
to make us a truly great nation.
“Can we have books which are not
written- for profit, newspapers untram-
meled by influence of money, an art
whose only motive is to depict® thin
as they are, a preaching which
neither desire nor. need to please, co
of justice whose integrity and impar-
tiality are beyond the shadow of a doubt,
institutions of ‘learning which devote
themselves to the study of whatever is
important~for* human living and. which
report their findings with faultlessness
and self-respect?
“I am not sure we can have these
things. It is a terribly difficult task, and
just now the current is running strongly
against us, and yet perhaps we will. But |
©
of this I am sure—no one who is note...
struggling with that task can claim any
share in the leadership of education.”
President Farrand, of Cornell Univer-
sity, another speaker, said:
“Meiklejohn and his audience are
bowed in despair, but that inevitable
struggle between the material and the
ideal has been going on since the be-
ginning of society.
“Today’s youth is exhibiting traits
which we, who are about to pass from
the stage, could Have used to advantage.
The youth of today has frankness, di-
rectness.in the point of view and an ur-
willingness to accept traditions.” —New

Harvard Students Serious _
~-CAMBRIDGE,. Mass., Oct. 30.—
The Rev. Frederick M. Eliot, Harvard,
11, of St. Paul, who is preaching at
Appleton Chapel, finds that Harvard
students lack the’ ultra-collegiatism of
undergraduates of Western universities
and are much more studious. Harvard
students seem to. spend much: more
time-in their stydi-> ond in their read-
ings, but, on the whole, have not lost
their eagerness for outside activities.
They have a definite purpose to grasp
what the college has to offer.
Stating his opinions in an interview,
the Rev. Mr. Eliot said that Harvard *
undegraduates had changed a great
deal for the better since his. own time.
This he attributed to the tutorial sys-
tem, which had much to do with break-
ing down the old attitude—of enmity.
between pupil and instructor. It had
enriched the contacts made and in-
duced students to show more interest
in their studies, especially in outside
reading. At Harvard and at colleges
where the tutorial system had. been
adopted, there were fewer students
who had gone to college because it was
the thing to do.
He decried the lack of such a system
in the Western universities, where so-
called collegiatism was becoming more
rampant rather than dying out.
_ “Men are coming to America’s oldest
university with a more critical attitude
than ever before,’ he said. “They
weigh what they see and hear and
draw therefrom their own conclusions.
‘The college itself is to be thanked for
the gtowing prevalence of this atti-
tude.”—-N. Y. Times. *

through very paper which I could find,
I inquired from, Miss Thomas, and I
asked everyone who knew about ‘the’

one was/able to run down any such
statement, and I do not believe, that
four such restrictions ever existed. I
"am sure of only one regulation which
the Trustees felt must be included, and
that is that all changes in Self-Govern-
ment ruling must be reported to them,
not for action, but for information. The
reason for this is plain; the students. of
the college are not a corporate body;
they eannot be “sued* as individuals.
‘The individuals in Bryn Mawr College
who are open to legal attack are the
Directors and the President. If the
Directors are to be legally responsible
for any actions taken by the students,
they must, at leagt, know what these
actions are. The College has already
been sued for actions of the Self-Gov-

‘the President (not myself) have gone
' through alfthe difficulties of such dis-
agreeable affairs. However, although
it has been the custom for all changes
made by the Self-Government Associ-
ation to be read by the President of

there has never been a question of al-

came up, the Board of Directors did
not: approve of it. But .when they
found that the students were firm in
their desire to have the regulation in-
serted, they took no action whatever.
“Now, the President and the Dean
‘have the same relation to the Associa-
tion. Both. of us are much concerned
with the students; we know. many of
you pretty well; we _know_ something
‘about all of you. The Dean has al-
ways retained a purely consultive re-
lation with the. Association. The
President,-as well as having this con-
sultative -relation, also has a legal one.
When ‘the Self-Government Associa-
tion wishes to recommend. the suspen-
sion or expulsion of a student, it is
not the President of the Association,
but the President of the College who
must write the letter excluding the
student, -and-on her head will! later fall:
all responsibility for that expulsion, I
have tried to think out the clearest
illustration of what-I believe to be the
relation between
trolled by you, and: that controlled by
me. The best I can think of/ is, the
relation between the department of a
government relating to foreign affairs,
and that relating to domestic affairs.
As far as.I know, these are kept
apart in all governments; they have
separate bureaus and administrations.
Their authority is in separate fields,
and, in a sense; ‘they“are not concerned
with each other. There is, however, a
constant interrelation of subject mat-
ter.
various Epronean. natigns- that. .the!>.
subjects, becoming citizens of the
United States; retain the obligation, of
military service. That immediately
affects not only the foreign but also
the domestic® policy of the United
States. If we.should have a war with
Italy, and if we should have citizens
born in Italy, the question of which
army they should serve would im-
mediately arise. Questions concerning
tariffs, or immigrant quotas,’ too,
though they are domestic, concern the
foreign relations of the United States.
Therefore, those in control of both di-
visions of the government must have
many formal and informal conferences
on these subjects. The ‘situation is
very much the same in relation to what
you control, and what I control. I
control the foreign relations of the
College, the choice of the faculty, the
relations with the schools, and the
more general relations with the com-
munity and the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. You control, on the
other hand, the conduct of the stu-
dents as members of the College. Be-
tween those fields there is interrelation.
If you look at the first regulations of
the Self-Government Association, you
will find that the conservative conven-
* tions of Philadelphia completely con-
trolled the chaperone regulations of
the. College at that time. _What-to~ do

there is often criticism of these mat-
ters. Therefore, there has always Been
necesary the freest consultation be-
tween the Self-Government Board and
the President of the College. We have
always. been_ perfectly. frank. Ihave
never withheld any information that I
thought would be of importance to the
Board, and F have added my own
judgment on any matter where it
would seém to be wise or advantageous
for the Board to know it. We have
discussed at length and in every detail
matters which have come up, some-
times through me and _ sometimes
through them, which I thought affected
one or the other of us. Now, itis
necessary that we should have ‘such
consultation, and it is, I think, ob-
vious that our discussions, frank as
they..are, must often be confidential.
I have, for exeample, often told the
Self-Government Boards of matters
coming up from. the Self-Government
Boards of the past, of which they have,
perhaps, never heard. * Often they are
matters concerning individual students
which seem to me should well be ig-
nored, forgotten, or, better still, not
known by the general student body.
Where it would seem ‘necessary. that
you-should all’ know of any, one mat-
ter, I have never hesitated to call you
uation,
speaking now as if they were*far more
formal than they really are, I represent
a kind of continuity. The Boards/come
and go; there is hardly ever a student
on the Board for more than’ two or
three years. I go on foréver, and
therefore, I can say to the Board, ‘This
is the measure that’has been previously
used or recommended to me. It has
worked well in the past; I should sug-
gest that you use it now.’ I am trying,
as. you see, to tell you the worst of
what the President of Bryn Mawr—
and I think that I can also speak’ for
the Dean—has ever. done in her rela-
tiohs.to the Board; that worst I shall
continue-to do nt
“Now it is/obvious that, to make our
consultation useful, two things
necessary, one on your. side, and: one
on mines On your side, ‘the govern-
ment must be a completely genuine
‘government, entirely ‘in your own
handé; it cannot be a government
which is wire-pulled behind the scenes,
by me.or by someone else. To make
a discussion valuable, it must be. be-
tween peers;.you-must have coniplete
authority in your field. On the other
hand, itis my responsibility that the
College must be a going*concern. I
must see to it that -parents like your
parents are willing and anxious to send
their daughters to Bryn Mawr in the
coming, years. I must see to it that

we want. I must sé to it that there is,
on the whole, a friendly and non-criti-
cal atmosphere ,towards Bryn Mawr.
momentum. It cannot be constantly
intefered with ‘by superficialities, mis-
understandings, misapprehensions; it is
for your gake as well as that of the
Bryn Mawr does; you must have a
self-respect in being students at Bryn
Mawr, or else the foundations of your
happiness and your réspéct for your-
selves will be definitely lessened.”
Miss Bark went on to cite various |
instances in which, although she had
different from the decisions of the Self-
Government Board, yet she had not
hesitatedeto put them into form. She
also cited an example of her policy of
non-interference in the capacity of an
official of the College. “I thoroughly
disapprove of the present ‘arrangements
for quiet in the halls; they seem to me
entirely-inefficient. It is very difficult
for me to understand why, on the one
hand, the students often allow the halls
to be like bedlam, and, on the other,
write home to say that the halls are so
noisy that no-one-can sleep! I have

Miss Park ended her speech by say-
ing that she had not based her re-
marks upon personal opinions or views,
“which are singularly unfruitful in dis-
cussion.” Rather, she had presented
“authoritative information, which is
most fruitful in action.”

Indian Women’s University they have
introduced these fundamental changes: -In
the first place, the Indian languages are
used as ‘the media of instruction. In
hygiene have been- introduced as com-
pulsory, and the ‘fine arts have been added
to the curriculum. Furthermore, the
strict mathematical requirements, which
were found a major obstacle in the prog-
ress of women’s education in India, were
made more :lenient. Thus was _ started
the first university for. women in India.
, But the development of this ‘university
was very slow. -An unconscious begin-
ning was ‘made thirty-three years ago
when, said Dr. Karve, he and his wife
started’ a Widows’ Home with the idea
of maintaining and educating poor prom-
ising young widows of. certain éastes
which forbade them from marrying again.
Unable to remarry, they were forced
to pass their lives without education or
interest in life. The .Widows’ Home
endéavored to create an interest for them
and began this work in two ways: by
efforts to introduce remarriage, which
then met with great obstruction from so-
ciety, and by educating them to become
teachers, mid-wives, and nurses~and thus
useful to themselves and to society. The

far above what they, were worth. Now
ape. g anmast“ be: ‘tememberéd that. the great
majority of these buyers did not pay,
in full for what they nominally bought.
All they did was to deposit a. certain
fraction of the price, often-a small frac:
tion, with the brokers.when they gave
an order to buy and the broker would
‘then buy “the stock and advance. the
‘balance of the money necessary to
pay for it. The deposit of the stock
buyer is known as a “margin.” The
brokers themselves' had to borrow
-somewhere the money necessary to
pay for the’ stock, Sometimes the
brokers borrowed from thg banks, in
many cases from corporations, or from
individuals who: had money to lend on
“call.” That means money which the
lender has a right to call in whenever
he chooses. To secure these loans the
brokers would have to pledge the
stocks bought as security. The stock
speculator, therefore, never saw the
stocks he had bought.* The loans of
the brokers gradually grew to some-
thing like $7,000,000,000.
It is clear that when the price of
stocks had gone so far beyond what
the stocks were worth, and was kept
up! only’ by the continual demand ~of
speculators, that anything that might
frighten the speculators and cause
them to sell out the stocks they nom-
inally owned would cause the. price
immediately to go down, and when
once the price began to go down, other
speculators would become frightened
and sell. Such a. fall would compel the
brokers to call on their customers to
put up more margin, and as many thou-
sands of customers could not find the
money,. the brokers would have to sell
the stock’ ‘purchased for the customers
in order. themselves to pay the loans
they had secured when the. stock was
bought. Thas millions of additional
shares would be thrown on the market,
forcing the price further down. So it
- happened that. the. quantity of stock
sold last week was greater by far than
the world had ever known before.
Many thousands of people lost-all they
had. put up at margins~ when. they.
bought stock and all too often it meant
" all the savings they had accumulated.
Just. what caused the beginning of
he scare and started the selling is un-
known. Some think it was the Haw-
trey failure in England, when a great
company failed with the loss of many
millions of pounds to its stockholders.
This compelled some English investors
in American stocks to sell their hold-
_ings for what they would bring in this
ale
couritry. Some think the optimism
of speculators was checked by the
falling off this fall in automobile sales
and in building construction. Some
think the disagreement about the tariff
‘between President Hoover and the
Senate and the House has discouraged
business which had looked forward to
‘President Hoover’s administration as
peculiarly bright in promise for the
“pusmiess © “word. The infpy. aii ming
to_notice is..that the condition of the
market had become so strained and the
price of many stocks so far beyond
what it was possible for the industries
they represented to be worth, and that
the country had gone so wild with
speculation and had strained their
credit to such an :extent in order to
become the nominal owners of stocks,
that it required a very slight cause to
start the collapse. And when the
price once began to go down, the
movement grew, at first like a snow-
ball, and then became an. avalance.
Thoughtful people appear to believe
that the worst is past and that the
public may now look for a gradual but
generally slow rise in the price of
those stocks that represent industries
which yield real profits.

he ;
you have learnedto waste bread and to
Spare labor. You are a country of
high wages, yet boasting a low cost of
production. “In this you have suc-
ceeded admirably and I hope that Eu-
rope will follow your example.
Accomplished by Machinery.
“How -have you done this? First of
all. by machinery; in this: respect you
have no conscious principle, but ob-
viously it’s there; if you do not dis-
pensé with the cost of labor you are
done. Secondly; you: have what we
call the Taylor System. which can be
briefly explained in the principle that
when you pay a:'man ten dollars you
manage to get ten. dollars’ worth’ of
work from him, or if ‘possible. fifteen
dollars’ worth. In America, by this
system, the ‘work- of. a man is used
most éntelligently. You cannot afford
to pay for inefficient labor with such
high wages. Thirdly you havé stand-
ardization;. Europe has not been stand-
ardized. Fourthly, »you have worked
for concentration. You have learned
that production must be concentrated
for thorough scientific administration.
“Now allow me to ask you. why you
have been able to do this when Europe
was not able. Primarily your natural
resources are responsible;’ secondly,
although you are the most protection-
ist country in the world, you enjoy a
huge amount of free trade from 120,-
000,000 consumers in your own United
States; lastly, there is the inevitable
‘standardization’ Which is resisted by
people in Europe. In America people
may hate it, but they. accept it because
it pays.
Europe Retains the Old.
* “Very..soon you will. be asking me
what I have to say of,Europe. Well,
Europe_is_exactly. the same—thing,..ex-
cept that it is the contrary. America
is massive and strong, Europe is
broken up and articulated; the United
States is a nation of States; in Europe
there are, many nations—each distinct
and individual. This is terrible from
the point of view of efficiency. In
America civilization is based on com-
mon conception of production; in Eu-
rope on diversity of people. In Europe
there is a small territory with’a dense
population, few natural resources and
many men. Accordingly, in Europe
the emphasis is placed on politics: how
to share the »production~ of wealth.
Therefore America is conservative
while Europe is. radical. Not even
China is so conservative as America.
As Churchhill has said if you want to
make a country conservative,: give it
something to conserve.
“The question is: how can Europe
compete with America? How- can. she
have a larger market? Perhaps by
doing what she is trying~to do now;
by forming ententes betweén countries
and suppressing the tariffs, thus mak-
ing a united market. Then she will
cess ully because of the low wage ‘sys-
‘tem: “Botay Fratrec’ competes with y=
America successfully only ‘in light pro-
duction—dresses, hats, etc., where the
value of the thing is small but. the
part the producer plays is great. In
such production it is necessary to rely
upon creative ability and the intefli-
gence of the working man. Machinery
cannot supplant this. We succeed when
we do. the opposite of Ford, when we
are individualists. So there is a whole
part of French industry where it would
be detrimental to follow American
methods.
aah C" Europe the old civilization still
survives,” M. Siegfried said in conclu-
sion. “In America there is the new.
It is. my wish that these two coun-
tries, Europe and America, would not
try-to-copy each other or compete with
each other, but that they would ex-
change those magnificent values which
are, after all, the real basis _of civiliza-
tion in all countries.”
