Man Close to Nature

Chinese Scholarship Lecture by
Miss Douglass on “Far
Eastern Gardens”

BRING PEACE TO SOUL

“Far. Eastern Gardens” was the
subject of the illustrated lecture by
Lucille Douglass given under the aus-
pices of the Bryn Mawr“Chinese
Scholarship Committee in Goodhart
Auditorium, Monday afternoon, April
1. “All Asiatic gardens express man’s
oneness with nature,” said Miss
Douglass, “and there is a certain con-
tinuity of development to be traced
throughout the
Japan and India.” The symbolism
of these oriental gardens is condi-
tioned by the religous and philosoph-
ical beliefs of the races in question.
Their gods Have more often been the
forees. of nature than dieties of hu-
man. form.

Chinese gardens are embodiments
of peace and harmony, the open gate-
ways to the spiritual world, and are
not designed for decoration and util-
ity as in the West. The Chinese un-
dertake, the plans for gardens very
Seriously and may require years to
bring them to completion. To them
a garden is “an outward. expression
of .a man’s inner self and a reflec-
tion of his very existence.” There
are certain elements necessarily to be
found in Chinese gardens. ‘Water is
always present in the form of a pool
of unfractured surface—surrounded
by strange .and-beautiful natural rock
formations. Three particular - trees
are usually inchided because of their
symbolical significance, the bamboo
for refinement, the pine for longevity
and the wild plum for youth. The
paths wind around as in a maze,
passing over camel-backed bridges,
and, strangely enough, creating. an
impression of vastness in a small gar-
den.
dence as the Chinese dislike great

splashes of bright color in their gar-|

dens, because they: hinder contempla-
tion. The gardens are enclosed by
walls, which often have circular door-
ways, expressing the perfect whole
formed by heaven, earth and man in
Taoist doctrines, and have green tile
windows. Dragons‘ guard: the entrance
to keep the evil spirits away: These
gardens are retreats from ‘the world
and offer chances for contemplation
in accordance with Buddhist ritual.

Japanese gardens are almost entire-
ly derivatives of Chinese gardens, but
they are more elaborate and more na-
tional in character. Moreover, where-
as the Chinese strive to become one
with nature, the Japanes are satis-
fied merely to observe it from the' out-

very quickly and are often miniatures
of large landscapes. They are for-
malized, conforming to certain con-

ventions, in that each must contain a

lar stone,:near hills and distant moun-
tains. There are stepping stones oc-
casionally, carelessly arranged to all
appearances, and bridges carved from

Men Must Learn to Control
Machines or Era Will End
in Disaster

SANE PLANNING NEEDED

In a lecture entitled “The End of
an Epoch?” given in Goodhart Audi-

of. Men and Machines, The Tragedy
of Waste, etc., weighed the assets anc
liabilities of our mechanical civiliza.
‘tion and asserted that unless men
learn to control the machines they
have created, the era inaugurated by
James Watt in 1765 will end in dis-
aster. The problem of production-has
at last been solved, but -the question
of assuring adequate purchasing
power demands intelligent planning
and vigorous thought.

Two schools of philosophy have
arisen to evaluate the machine. The
first of these, the Frankenstein chorus
“of gloomy prophets, wonders despair-
ingly if the machine is worth its price.
The other group maintains that the
machine-has lightened man’s burden
and ‘permitted him to develop his
spiritual nature. Z

That decided improvements from
the hunian point of view have. result-,
ed from the introduction of modern
inventions cannot “be denied. “They
have brought a. higher living stand:
ard, shorter working hours, less su-
perstition, less physical@eruelty, less
hatred between peoples now in closer

communication, longer life for the
average man and better physical
health.

The machine, has also, on the other
hand, brought mechanized warfare,
the waste of natural resources, the
employment of: human robots in in-
dustry, increasing social standardiza-
tion, ignorance of the consumer under
high pressure salesmanship, the com-
mefcialization of play and recreation,
technological unemployment and;
worst of all, the lack of co-ordination
in the-industrial- structure, which re-
sults in overproduction, unemployment
and economic insecurity.

The disappearance of

taken to enable purchasing power

Modean God Uses Life’s
Mechanisms to Guide Us



On Sunday ‘evening, the Reverend
James Gordon Gilkey, D.D., Rector of
the South Congregational Church,
Springfield, Massachusetts, outlined
the modernist conception of God as a
power behind the universe utilizing
the mechanism of life to guide us ac-
cording to His pre- -conceived desires.

The discarding of the primitive
idea of the oa y natural, that of
physical phenomena, with the advance
of philosophy and:science, has led to
a significant division in religious cir-
cles about the reality of God and, con-
sequently, the efficacy of prayer. The
idea of God as a power interfering
miraculously in the lives of individ-
uals has been replaced by a realiza-
tion of God as a mind in the universe
“guiding the ship of life toward the
haven of divine desire,” a power work-
ing through the brafn to bring with-
in our range the consciousness of a
new idea which will reorganize our
life, bringing us,new courage.

The explanation of prayer resolves
itself into the way by which we make
ourselves responsive to divine influ-
ence, and the answer to prayer is not
a change in our external circum-
stances, but a new idea communicat-
led through contact with divine intel-
ligence. God’s help is no external,
miraculous change, but, as the-psalm-

soul.”

-Work, for the Day i is Coming
A college is, of course, primarily an institution of learning, and 1 no
one considers May Day an excuse for the cessation of academic routine.

But the preparation for an Elizabethan festival also involves a tremendous 3

amount of time and-energy. Realizing this, many students voted for May
Day only under the impression that the second semester would be arranged
with all reports and quizzes due before spring vacation, thus permitting a
concentration of May Day activity after Easter. Even though it meant

falling behind the schedule of previous years, Mr. King refrained from
demanding any intensive rehearsals in the weeks before vacation, and the
students were sustained during that hectic period by the expectation that
on their return the pressure of academic work would be over.

This expected lightening of the academic burden, however, has not
materialized. It now appears that nothing was meant by “reports and
quizzes” but scheduled quizzes and long semester reports. Instances are
not unknown of students who have three reports due before exams; in some
courses reports have been assigned after the instructor had promised not
to require any more; a certain language course is increasing assignments
instead of lessening them. The measure of the value of a course seems to
be the amount of work required, and some professors apparently think that
the undeniable concentration of academic work before vacation has left
their students free to do extra work after vacation. Although instructors
can be found whose assignments have been judiciously and considerately
arranged, among others there is a very real lack of sympathy for any
diversion of student energy in May Day activities.

That the sponsoring of the quadrennial celebration has a definite im-
portance in maintaining the reputation of-the college and attracting desirable
candidates for admission, both the trustees and the faculty agree. For
many students now in college the beauty and the glamour of the May Day
performance were a determining factor in their. decision to enter Bryn
Mawr, and they looked forward to their own participation as a delightful
experience. If, now that May Day preparations are under way, the months
of April and May are to be nothing but an endurance contest, then the
boasted spontaneity and holiday: spirit of May Day are as false and super-
ficial as those of a proféssional circus. It is granted that the combination
of May Day activities with the maintenance of scholastic standards must
necessarily mean hard work, but for many it is likely to mean extravagantly
‘hard work. Although the impression that reports and quizzes would be
over before vacation has proved to be groundless, nevertheless the assump-
tion that the undeniable academic overwork before vacation should mean
some lightening after vacation still seems not unreasonable, if the amount
of work to be ultimately required has. not been increased.



The Quota

The quota system, under which the annual drawing. for rooms takes
place, has long been a Source of general discontent~ Each year there are
students who find that they cannot live where or with whom they plan,
because of the numerical quota which decrees that only a certain per cent.
of each class may live in one hall. Under the present system a girl has
little or no chance of changing her hall after her freshman year, because
the quotas for her class are filled in every hall. Therefore it is not infre-
quently that a girl*finds herself interred for her entire college career in a
hall where she is unhappy. It is useless to attempt to regulate a girl's

sy —- —————--
“



friendships on a numerical basis. The social life of every student is a very
important item in her college career, and it seems unfair that students should
be forced to room in a hall which they dislike. No system is satisfactory
which prevents friends from living in the same hall or which deposits a girl
in a hall her freshman year and keeps her there against her will. Sv
The college administration fully realizes the disadvantages of the present
system and is only too willing to make any changes which will alleviate the
situation, provided only that such changes do not interfere with the allotting
of scholarship rooms or make it possible for halls to turn into class halls.

The administration's point of view is easily understood,.and no one can}.

contest the inadvisability of allowing class halls to grow up. The quota is
as great a nuisance ’to the college as it is to the students, but it has been
accepted as an impartial instrument calculated to mix the classes. If a
substitute system can be worked out which will accomplish the same results
in a less painful manner, the college would be only too glad to consider it.

The problem rests, therefore, with the student body. .Our grievances
have been acknowledged, and we are invited to submit a remedy. The
News is asking for an expression of student opinion in the matter through
its letter column. No system can satisfy evetyone, but we hope to be able
to work out a plan which will please the majority. Our contention is that

Who is it comforts her and dries her

Dear Mat Hatter: :

I am not very particular about what
I read, but, as a subscriber, I want
to say that I’m getting tired of your
wishy-washy policy, and as a friend
and a well-wisher I'd like to suggest
one that will swell your subscription
list overnight—a fearless stand
against pouting. You could sweep
the campus on an Anti-Pouting Pol-
icy. just the way Mr. Wintergreen
(“Of Thee I Sing’) swept the coun-
try on a platform of Love. They’re
both good ideas, but I think mine is
better under the circumstances and
should enlist Anti-Pouting workers
from every corner of the campus.

Here is a crude but effective eure
for those who would like to start
work immediately. Worker advances
cautiously while pouting is going on,
seizes nether lip of subject and
stretches it slightly to neighborhood

‘of nose, then applies Everstick Plas-

ter. Hurftiliation and suffering of
the pouter are simply enormous, and
cure is guaranteed to follow.

Very something-must-be-done-yours,

Arabella P. W.



This, then, is our new column. We
hope you like it; we hope you will
continue to like it. But, above all, we
practically insist that you support it
with contributions. Send them signed
with a nom de plume to The Mad
Hatter, care of The News office, and
send them often. We are determined
to make this really brilliant. And,
incidentally, any type of news under
an epic is acceptable. It needn’t be
frothy. Cheero (hopefully)!

theatrical practice of reviving every-
thing from A Merchant of Venice to
the last year’s plays, which never
reached Broadway, and is about to re-
suscitate Showboat. Helen Morgan will

again sit on his piano, and Charles *%

Winniger will also be present. Duc
to the star’s increasing age it is not
improbable that a grand piano equip-
ped with ladder will be used in place
of the former upright.

It has finally been settled that Lynn
Fontanne, Alfred Lunt and Noel Cow-
ard will appear next season in the
latter’s new comedy, Design For Liv-
ing. The play will be produced in
January under Max Gordon’s spon-
sorship.

Life Begins, which changed “it8*
name from Birth, in a daring mo-

‘ment, found that it took more to be-

gin its theatrical life than the sev-
eral babies born therein, and being

unable to discover any such cure-all

it passed squalling to its grave with-
in a few weeks.

Pauline Lord, who appeared only
a month or so ago in a strange af-
fair about love, Indians, covered wag-
ons and cholera, is about to appear
in Guthrie McClintic’s revival of Bar-
rie’s The Truth About Blayds.

A recent advertisement for Hot-
Cha went on at great length about
all the stars in the production and
ended up with “And Buddy Rogers’
75 of the Worlds’ ‘Most Beautiful
Girls.” Speaking of your dual per-
sonalities.

When Too True To Be Good was in
rehearsal there were numerous cables
to England for permission to alter
lines. The most famous deal trans-

acted was that in which the Theatre...

Guild traded permission to have Bea-
trice Lillie tell Hope Williams to “go:
to hell” for permission to eradicate
from the script one of Mr. Shaw’s
jokes about halitosis which the Guild
more or less feared.

All those who saw the Animal King-
dom will remember the milkshake
served Leslie. Howard by his strange
and wonderful butler, Red Regan.
At a recent performance Regan was
waiting for his entrance holding the
glass of milk, when he stumbled and
spilled almost all of it.. There was no
time to re-fill so on he went with the
half-empty glass.

“Look what baby brought you,” he
said, beginning his line.

“Um-m, who drank it?” replied Mr.
Howard, calmly. eyeing the sad rem-
nant on the tray.

On the American stage almost all

dod consists of bananas in one.form

‘or another; sliced, diced, mashed or

whole. The English, however, cling
to gingerbread for stage ‘purposes.
The American actor who makes his
first eating appearance in England
always spends a frantic evening, be-
cause gingerbread, unlike bananas, is
no respector of cues, and it requires
an expert to handle it successfully.
With the American it is like the, case
of the little boy who ate his first oys-
ter, “I can’t swallow it, and I nisopandi
spit it out.”



Dr. Fenwick’s Book Chosen

One of the books selected for the
“List of Books For College Libraries’”
by Charles B. Shaw, compiled for the
Advisory Group on College Libraries
of the Carnegie Corporation, and
published by the American Library
Association, was written by C. G.
Fenwick, professor of political science
at Bryn Mawr. The list, selected
with the aid of some 200 specialists
in different fields, comprises a mini-
mum book celection for a four-year
liberal arts ‘college library.

The book is “International Law,”
and was also chosen for Hester’s
“Books for Junior Colleges,” issued
by the same publisher. As in the
Shaw list, titles in the Hester list are
grouped accordingly: to subject and
represent those books which were con-
sidered absolutely essential to supple-
ment instruction in the courses of-
fered.

Although the personnel of the Var-

after various changes, has finally
emerged. a smooth-working. team.
Putting Meirs in as center seemed to
fill-a noticeable gap in the passwork
as a.whole, and McCormick has come
up from behind to hold second honors
in scoring for the second team. Col-
lier leads the squad, with a total
scoring of 194 points and an average
score per game of 22 points. Hdr-
denbergh leads the second team, with
140 points and an average score of
16 points. The.Varsity came through
the season with the loss of only one

- game—that with Rosemont—leading
their opponents by a total score of
* 391 to 230. The second team is espe-

cially to be congratulated for having
won every game played, their total
score being 436, to 182 points for
their opponents.’ Comparatively few
fouls were committed this season, the
Varsity having 12 technicals and 20
personals, against 30 technicals and
34 personals for the visiting teams.
The second team had less technicals
but more personals against them, the
total being 15 technicals and 35 per-
sonals, to 32: technicals and 26 per-
sonals.

Gyoup Theatre Asks for « |
Criticism of Audience



The Group Theatre, which. this
year produced The House of Connel-
ly, 1931, and Night Over Taos, is or~|
ganising itself for next season.
The Group began as an off-shoot of |
the. Theatre Guild, but has succeeded
ae gstablishing its identity as an in-
dividual organization through the ex-
cellence of its work and the’ breadth
of its ambition. \

The principle upon which the pro-
ject was launched as stated by the
founders is that: “A theatre can suc-
cessfully communicate what it has tof?
say only when all its members, play- |
wrights, actors, directors, scene de-
signers, etc., share a common ap-
proach to their work and learn to
practice a common technique to ex-
press it.” With this object in mind
the Group Theatre was organized,
and its members constitute a theatri-
eal body which is a complete whole.
The Group also feels that the audi-
ence is. an intégral part of an pro=
duction; that’ they share in the cre-|
ation of the play. An important part
of their program is, therefore, devot-
ed to creating a’ permanent audience
“that will identify itself with, and



the Group’s work.” Since they form
a theatre devoted to the aim of relat-
ing the American Theatre to Ameri-
can life, they desire an audience that
will share in their creations. The
Group Theatre Audience has there-
fore been formed, and all those inter-
ested in the drama are being asked
to join. Each member for the sum
of $2.00 will secure a 20 per cent.

invitation seat for the Group plays
during the season 1932-33. Members
are invited to submit criticisms and
comments on each play that will be
answered by the directors in open
meetings of the entire Group, audi-
ence and theatre, during the run of
the play.

The aim of the Group Theatre. is
laudable and deserves the support of
all those sincerely interested in the
American theatre. It is the most
stimulating movement whi¢h has aris-
en in our theatre in many years, and
everyone should take advantage of
the open door which is being extend-
ed to new members,. The plays pro-
duced next season will be chosen from
among Donogoo, by Jules Romain;
Yellow Jack, Sidney Howard; Bal-
loon, Padriac Colum; New Year’s
Eve, by Waldo Frank, and any new
plays by Maxwell Anderson or Paul
Green. All those interested in becom-
ing a member of the Group audience
should obtain membership blanks
from Mr. Warburg, who is the
Group’s disciple on campus.

ed to push-through the hundreds of
costumes left to be done.

After this list of May Day fail-
ings, Mrs: Collins made a few imper-
sonal announcements. No guests of
any kind will be allowed in the halls,
as Pembroke dining-hall must be used
in case of rain. Arrangements for
rain postpone the Friday perform-
ance to Monday, but provide for Sat-
urday performance, rain or shine.
Mr. Willoughby is training twenty-
four musiciatis for the band, which
he will lead personally in the proces-
sion, and then conduct—“a perfectly
tremendous contribution.” In con-
cluding her appeal, Mrs. Collins quot-
ed Professor Laski, “No union of na-
tions can succeed unless they show
generosity of spirit.”

Heroes of 18th Century
‘Unnoticed Amid Crime



Comte Fleury Gives Vivid Pic-
ture of 18th Century Life”
and Manners

BEAUVAN WAS HERO

. “Although the men of the eighteenth
century have been accused of all pos-
sible crimes, there were nevertheless
many heroes who led perfectly nor-
mal lives,” declared Comte Fleury, of
the French ministry of Foreign Af-
fairs, in a lecture April 4, entitled,
“Un melange de grands Seigneurs
philosophes au 18 siecle: le Marechal
et la Princess de Beauvan.” His
description of the Marechal’s career
and the people with whom he came
in contact, illustrated by lantern
slides of the costumes and notable fig-
ures of the period. gave a vivid pic-





ture of eighteenth century life and

manners.

Beauvan was born in 1720 at Lune-
ville, and spent his childhood at Flor-
ence. His desire for military service
led him to accept a post under the
command of ‘the Marechal de Belle
Isle, Fouquet’s grandson. While re-
covering from a wotnd received dur-
ing the retreat from Prague, he made
his first visit to Paris, where he show-
ed a fine discernment in observing the
life around him. After another per-
iod of service in the army, he was en-
thusiastically received at the court
of Stanislas, famous as a refuge for
philosophers fearing persecution. In
compliance with the wish of his fath-
er, he married Mile. d’Auvergne, a
woman of. fine sentiments, and after
her early death;-Mme. Dorant. _ She
was a devoted wife, and this marriage
was really a turning point in his
career.

As vice-governor of Guyenne, Beau-
van was so successful that in 1765
the king sent him to Languedoc,
where he had ample opportunity to
display his tolerance and moral cour-
age. In the meantime Beauvan’s wife
was holding an important salon. in
Paris, visited by a brilliant clientele.
Her husband, attempting honestly to
serve the King’s true interests, re-
fused to vote for the suppression of
the Parlement, and was thus so dis-
graced that he resigned as Captain. of
the Guards and retired.

During the reign of Louis XVI,
Beauvan did diplomatic service
abroad, and by his great influence

over the army was able to put down’

threats of rebellion. The king, real-
izing that he was the only man who
might bring order to his realm, in
the critical year 1789 persuaded Beau-
van to give up his quiet life in the
country and accept the ministry. He
resigned in three months, convinced
that it was too late to accomplish
and reform. The disturbances of the
Revolution which ensued did not hin-
der him from moving freely about.
He died peacefully in 1793, after a
long and useful career. His wife re-
mained on the estate; and until her
death held a modest but influential
salon, to which came Lafayette, Mor-
ellet, Boissy d’Anglas,. and others
equally famous.

Dance Recital Requires
Audience to be Initiated



(Continued from Page One)

we. cannot define that perfection we
cannot analyze or comment upon her.
In general it was to be observed that
those in the audience who had taken

part in classes of this nature derived

an enjoyment from the performance
all out of proportion to the length of
time they had spent on it. We have
developed a theory of our own to ex-
plain this, and we herewith present it
to the criticism of those who know

'| whereof they speak, which we do not.

It seems to'us that the real apprecia-
tion of the dancing of the school of
Isadora Duncan is in the actual per-
forming. It is beautiful to watch, but
moving to an audience only insofar
as they can imagine themselves tak-
ing an active part in it. Those ‘who
were mostly deeply thrilled by the
recital of the other afternoon, we
would like to think, were the four
dancers themselves. J. M.

Man Close to Nature

prevailing religious inspiration for
the garden is derived from the Zen
cult of Buddhism introduced into
Japan from Korea.
The gardens of the ‘Moghuls .and

Persians in India are different in act-.

ual appearance, but similar in their
underlying principles.
places of retirement from the heat
and dust of that tropical country, and
water is the primary consideration.
When the Moghuls overran India dur-
ing the Sixteenth and Seventeenth
Centuries, their Emperors had gar-
dens built in which to rest -during
their campaigns. The Taj Mahal gar-
den is the most beautiful example of
one of Persian design. These Imper-
ial gardens contain ‘pavillions in which
fountains play to cool the air. Sur-
rounding the buildings are canals,
shallow square. or rectangular pools,
lined with blue tile.. At Cashmir,
these canals ang arranged in terraces
leading up to the mountains. Cy-
press trees and bushes of yellow roses,
standing for immortality, grow around
the pools. The hanging gardens of
Babylon may have been prototypes for
these gardens, as they, in turn, have
offered the inspiration for European
formal gardens. Gardens are closely
connected with spring in the minds of
the Easterners, as bringing new life
to the body and fresh inspiration to
the soul.

BRIGHT SKIN, by Julia Peterkin
(Bobbs-Merrill Publishing Co.).
Bright Skin is ‘a somewhat plotless

account of the everyday life of plan-

tation. negroes. It is full of the bar-
barous and primitive superstitions of
the colored race and contains rfigny
quaint charms. Their crude, unciv-
ilzed way of life is frankly appalling
to a sophisticated Twentieth Céntury
reader. Julia Peterkin has painted
her characters and her setting in such
bright rich colors that the glaring
heat of the noonday air, the stifling
dustiness of the soil, and the weari-
ness of the glistening black bodies
are vividly perceived. The book is
as much as anything else a character
sketch of Cricket, the pretty and
dainty bright skin, the no-nation,
whose restless blood made her discon-
tented with the ordinary life led hap-
pily by the people around her. Her
longing for stylish clothes, for money,

and for ‘the flashing lights of big cit-

ies eventually caused confusion in the
peaceful routine of birth-night ‘sup-
pers, cotton-picking and funerals. De-
spite one’s strong irritation at her
‘selfish behavior and ~ thoughtlessly
cruel treatment of Blue, her husband,
an_average young negro laborer, who
endured her ,.whims with unusual pa+
tience and kindness, believing her to

be of finer stuff than himself, she

does advance one’s sympathy and in-|

terest.

“Bright Skin” is good entertain-
ment, but it is hardly of the same
calibre as “Scarlet Sister Mary.” The
material covering the doings of the
negro race has now been practically
exhausted: and_it would be interest~
ing to see Miss Peterkin try her hand
at some other type of novel.

I SAW HITLER! by Dorothy
Thompson (Farrar & Rinehart).
Dorothy Thompson teils a sensa-

tional story in 7 Saw TIlitler!: the
presentation of Hitler as, a Little
Man “with histrionic gifts and an
hysterical belief in his mission,” a
program of fascism, anti-semitism,
and muddled socialism. Her analy-
sis of the political, social and econom-
ic conditions existing in Germany as
related to the personality and pro-
gram of the fascist leader explains
both the immeasurable significance
he has attained and the results of
