_ HORACE ALWYNE

ASSISTS CONCERT



Explains Children’s Concert

~ Program When Called in
at Last Moment.

PRAISED BY RECORD





Philadelphia’s need for Bryn Mawr
was never so clearly shown as_ last
Wednesday. At the critical’ moment,
when all the conductors and pianists who
were scheduled for the children’s con-
cert of the Philadelphia Orchestra failed,

they drafted Mr. Horace Alwyne, of

. Bryn’ Mawr, with remembered success.

Thé Record has an amusing account
of the afternoon:

To begin with, this concert had been
postponed one week. For the new date

_Ernest Schelling, distinguished pianist

and composer, had been engaged to take
the place of Mr. Stokowski, still on his
midwinter vacation. Mr. Mattson, from
the stage, said he had received word that
Mr. ‘Schelling was ill in New York with
influenza, with a temperature. of 103.
Arthur Rodzinski, assistant conductor of
the orchestra, was summoned. He, too,
was indisposed, but’ not so seriously as
Mr. Schelling, and helpfully agreed to
fill in the gap as conductor, but asked—
and with good reason, since his English
is not yet fluent—to be excused from
saying anything.
Mr. Alwyne Explains Concert.

For the conversational feature of the
program Horace Alwyne, noted pianist
on the-staff of Bryn Mawr College, was
drafted at the eleventh hour. Orchestra
parts for the first number of the con-
cert—an overture and gavotte by Bach
—failed to arrive. This was a minor
mishap, however, and there was com-
pensation in a number not previously
Ippolitow-I[wanow’s colorful
“March of the Sirdar.”

CHRISTIAN LIFE IS GREATEST
APOLOGY FOR CHRISTIANITY

Paul of Tarsus Is Great Example,
Says Dr. Graham.

“The greatest single apology for Chris-
tianity is a Christian life,” said Dean
Thomas W, Graham, of the theological
seminary at Oberlin College, speaking in
Chapel on Sunday evening, February 13.
Aside from Jesus’ own life, the life of
Paul is the most ‘striking example of
what such a life may be.

Dr. Graham asked his audience to
imagine that they were in the bare room
where Paul, the prisoner, was manacled
to his Roman guard, and that it was
the little Jew himself» who’ was speaking.

Paul was born in Tarsus, the great
cosmopolitan metropolis of the East.
His family were rigid Pharisees, who
brought him up to have great .respect
for the laws of the prophets.
sent to the synagogue, where he was
made to memorize the greatest writings
of the Jewish people. After that, ac-
cording to the Jewish custom, he was
taught a trade; his was that.of making
tent cloth. While doing this, he had
a chance to see two points of view; that
of the laborer, constantly in fear for his
job, submitting to many things for the
sake of his family; and the point of
view of Phe employer, on whose skill in
bartering depended the money with
which to pay his laborers.

High Priests Annoyed.

To be a student of Hebrew law was
Paul's ambition; so he was sent first to
the University of Tarsus, and then to
Jerusalem to sttidy. He was a brilliant





’ student, and by the time he came to

Jerusalem he was a marked mani. . While
he was there, great excitement arose.

High Priest became il about it
when he heard that this Jesus had. said

ATOM IS NOW
IN PURGATORY

Discovery, of Radioactivity
Described by Famous
Physicist.

SCIENCE TAKES GRASP

The riddle of the ator is still un-
solved, although much progress has been
made since the discovery of radioactiv-
ity twenty-five years ago. As Dr. F. .G.
Swann, professor of physics at Yale,
expressed it in his lecture last Wednes-
day evening, “For us the atom is in
Purgatory—we do not¢know what to
think about it.”

“If a line six feet long represents the
six thousand years of our civilization, it
is in the last three inches that science
has been,known, and in the last inch
that we have acquired a new grasp upon
the world,”

Twenty-five years ago an eminent
German philosopher said that all the
discoveries in Physics had been made.
This was a period of great depression
when would-be Ph..D.’s went.about the
world roaring for something to measure.
Then came a revolutionary event; the
discovery of radioactivity. This was a
new and_ startling conception of the
world—one which upset the most dis-
tinguished Physicists..--In fact, Lord
Kelvin’s aesthetic sense siffered a shock
from this discovery of radioactivity as
great as that which Hts anatomy would
have sustained from a physical contact
with it.

A whole new field of science was thus
opened. But the task of exploration fell
to youth, for the older scientists had
become timid with age. One of théSe
younger men, Professor J. J. Thompson,
of Cambridge, discovered, by passing
electricity through gasses, the electron.
Hitherto only the relative weights of
atoms were known. The whole question
of their structure was absolutely un-
known, and _ scientists were even igno-
rant of the number of atoms in a cubic
centimeter of gas. :

BRYN MAWR GIRLS TALK
ON RELIGION IN ELIZABETH

‘Government of Life Is Subject of
Discussion Groups.
(Specially contributed by B, Pitney, ’27)
“What, oh what shall we say?” The















train hurried us on towards Elizabeth,

N, J., and still we had no idea what we
would say in the talks we were to give.

Barbara Loines, Josephine Stetson,
Sarah Bradley and I had been invited to
join four Princeton men and _ speak
before a group of boys and girls in an
unfamiliar city. What would. our poor
victims be like? In what kinds of things
would they be interested? What was
their background?: What kind of lives
did they live? We did not know.”

We had been told. that they had very
little education.
enough money to go to college. Few of
them ever graduate from high school.
Most of them are “in business.” Beyond

that we were totally in the dark, and we

looked forward to our two days at
Elizabeth with mixed feelings of terror
and curiosity.

A banquet started off the week-end.
One by one we were called upon for
that most difficult of all intellectual
feats: a clever reply to a toast. Then

INGRES’ SKETCHES
’ EXPLAIN HIS ART
Not Imitation But Documents

in “‘La Grande Tradition

Francaise.’

INGRES LIKE RACINE







By BarBara Lino, '24. —
“C'est magnifique,” said M. Ingres
as he looked for the first time at
Michael Angelo’s frescoes in the Sis-
tine Chapel, “c’est magnifique mais
c’est tres laid, et moi je suis Grec.”

So he turned away and went out as
unwilling to look at the Creation of
Adam as at the beggars who crouch
at the Vatican gates,—unwilling to look
at anything which might mar the con-
scious and_discriminating vision of per-
fected beauty that haunted his mind.
He went out, and presumably set him-
self to — sketching yraeco-Roman
statues,

They would be venerable, these care-
ful little drawings, if for no other rea-
son because they stand for the enthusi-
asm of an already mature artist. At
the time when they were executed
some of Ingres’ finest work was
already behind him. There is some-
thing very touching about the humility
with which he brought his best gifts to
this task of faithful imitation. It is all
part and parcel with the essentially na-
tional quality of his genius. The
French veneration for tradition is here
served well.

Sketches Represent Apprenticeship.

For it is, after all, out of this sweet
academic dust that his art with all its
fine formality grew. These sketches
are part of the private preparation of a
man* who felt that his apprenticeship
was never over, who was always willing
to go back and imitate over and over
again his chosen masters, the Greeks
and Raphael, trying to learn from them
their magic gift of line.

As we look at these drawings we
feel at first as if they were sadly un-

SHAW IS GREATEST
AS A HUMORIST

Society Won't Heed Satire,

Says Noted English

Lecturer.

BOTH SAINT AND HERO

in







“Although his purpose in the drama is
definitely didacti¢, George Bernard Shaw
will live as a humorist,” phophesied Miss
Elizabeth Drew in a lecture last Friday
evening on “Modern Society and Shaw.”
He is furthermore unique as a satirist,
and his greatness and value as a thinker
are enormous,

In a most scholarly fashion, citing
specific instances from Mr. Shaw's
drama to prove each point, Miss Drew,

English lecturer and writer, said that
Shaw set himself the task in all his

plays of rousing the upper and middle

‘classes of Modern England from their

torpor of unthinking complacency and
hypocrisy. He considers them “an un-
sound people of an unsound nation” and
he does not suffer from their delusion
that modern‘ civilization and society mark
the apex of a series of progressive steps
emerging from the blackness of savagery.
Infact, he thinks that savagery is still
very much alive.

‘Mr. Shaw deplores the fact that so-
ciety is so willing to scrap old machinery

yet, so loath: to scrap prejudices and
codes. Custom is substituted for con-
science. He is striving to win accept-

ance for the creed of intellectual .hon-
esty. In place of romantic sentimental-
ity, he would substitute scientific natural
history. He has a passion for fact as
opposed to sentiment.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE





In 1924, May Day was given by under-
graduates who had no previous records
or experience ®@ which to model their

activities. Many of them had never seen

a May Day performance; none of them

realized the magnitude of the task they

were undertaking. after

it had been. given, in spite of rain and
discouragement, spite of an” entire
semester given up to its production, the
undergraduates voted by an overwhelm-
Ling majority to continue the tradition of
the fourth-year May Day. In the spring
of 1925 a second vote was taken on the
matter and the result was almost unani-
mously in favor of. another May Day,
provided that it might be somewhat sim-
plified. A committee for the purpose of
investigation was therefore appointed.
The following is the report of this.com-
mittee, containing first of all a general
description of the last May Day for the
guidance of another college generation,
and secondly a number of suggestions
for the organization and simplification of
the next May Day. The committee” has
read the reports left by the various chair-
men of committees in 1924, and it has
interviewed the heads of May Day de-
partments, including Mrs. Chadwick-
Collins, Miss Applebee, Mr. King, Mr,
Alwyne and Miss Faulkner, For the
suggestions and information thus ob-
tained the committee wishes to acknowl-
edge its indebtedness and its gratitude.

VARSITY OUTPIRATES
THE BUCCANEERS

Unscientific Scrapping and Many
Fouls in First Game.

Varsity outpirated the Buccaneers with
a 34-19 score on Saturday morning. And
a wild, rough game it was, to be sure.
Varsity won the rough-and-tumble but,
even so, does not deserve many laurel
wreaths. The team as a whole showed
up ‘pretty poorly although a few bright
spots could be discerned. The passing
was perhaps the worst feature of the
play; practically no one on the team
bothered to look before throwing the
ball, to pass accurately, or even to catch
with any degree of reliability. The
teamwork also was noticeably bad. But
how could it be otherwise with such
careless or unlearned fundamental tech-
nique? Like knowing the strokes. in
hockey, a certain instinctive assurance
in the handling of the ball is a basic ne-
cessity for decent basketball. .

Huddleston’s guarding was the bright
featiire’of the game. She stuck like a
leech to the unfortunate Buccaneer for-
ward who was hardly allowed a try at
the basket. Freeman also guarded well.

THE MUSE ON THE CAMPUS

The traditionally long dull period
from midyears to spring vacation
will be far from long and dull this
year. Besides the usual diversions
of dogfish and bridge, another ab-
sorbing subject wil provide a stimu-
lating topic of conversation.. The
college has suddenly “gone dra-
matic.” Perhaps we should not say
“suddenly ;” this interest has been
a gradual growth starting with the
advent of Varsity Dramatics, the
Players, and the unpretentious Tha-
lians, last year. Now has come its
flowering, in a ‘series of entertain-
ments which will atone for the
dreary weather of the next few
weeks. The annual Freshman Show
will lead the way, followed closely
by “The Lilies of the Field,” “Aria
Da Capo,” and, finally, whatever
Varsity produces.

This rapid succession should
prove beneficial to all performances ;
the participators in each will be the
more eager to see what others ac-
complish ; they will be more tolerant
of flaws, understanding well the dif-
ficuities ; and they will be more ap-
preciative of success. We look
forward to larger and more sympa-
thetic audiences, which will be ca-
pable of intelligent criticism. ‘These
two qualities in the audiences should
also make for better plays.

All this promises well for_next
year’s May Day. A great many
people will have a-certain amount
of training, they will be accustomed
to appearing in public, and they will
be interested. There is no danger
that the excess of interest in dra-
matics this year will mean a dearth
of it next ; on the contrary, the more
‘amateur productions one takes part
in, the more one peo them,



THE RETURN TO NATURE

Just when we are lulled into
thinking that after all we are a little
more civilized than our forefathers,
when we fall to looking back ad-
miringly at the long parade of evo-
lution from the monkey to the
modern man something always hap-
pens to upset our complacency. The
flame leaps up, the varnish cracks,
and out jumps the monkey like a
jack-in-the-box.

This week has betrayed more than
one primitive instinct lurking in our
midst. In Cambridge last Saturday
night, a thousand boys suddenly,
and for no apparent reason, started
a riot. “Eggs; sticks, knives and
fists” says the New York Times
“flew.” A harmless druggist met
up with a policeman’s club, and a

football player, inspired with the’

spirit of chivalry, was put under
arrest—behold the results of edtica-|
tion, and a Harvard” education at
that. If this is not a reversion to the

' The riot in Cambridge on the
night of Lincoln’s birthday was a
decidedly unfortunate occurrence.
We hope it will not result in disaster
‘for its victims, but there is no’doubt
that it will predispose to suspicion.
But how could it have happened?
Either the students had somehow or
other given the police grounds for
anticipating such a demonstration,
or else the police had some grudge
against the undergraduate body. Or

anything more violent. It was not
until the police interfered that the
real rioting began. At any rate, ac-

Three German Universities
Summer Courses.
There are many opportunities for the

student who wishes to study German

abroad, Dr. Pxgkosch explained, speak-

ing in Chapel on Wednesday, February 9.

Out of the six. German universities that

offer summer courses, Madgeburg, Jena

and Frankfort are only arranged for

German students; ‘but either of the other

three, Berlin, Vienna or. Heidelberg, give

courses’ for foreign students, particularly

American.

In all the summer schools the six

weeks’ course is divided into two’ three-
week periods. At Berlin, many of the
instructors are American and the ele-
mentary course is given in English; and
Berlin itself is one of the most modern,
cosmopolitan cities in the world.
Vienna is a_ charming, picturesque
place, modern only in its cultural side;
its course begins on July 18. The Hei-
delberg course, however, begins June 27.
There one finds beautiful country, an
entirely German atmosphere, good
courses and reliable boarding houses. An
interesting plan” would. be to go to Hei-
delberg for the first three weeks and
absorb the atmosphere; then go for the
next period to Vienna for more serious
study.

Fable, for Tired Students.
Esmeralda was. a nicely brought up
little parlor clock. She was discreetly
gilded, . arid: had dainty” filigreed hands
and neat Roman numerals. For years
she had rested contentedly on the- mantle |
piece, ticking softly. to herself, and never
bothering anyone. Then one day she
began to think, and that was a dangerous
thing to do; she: had never thought in
her life before, and the result was bound
to be disastrous.

“Here I sit,” she thought, “day after
day, not keeping very good time, and
never noticed by anyone. . No one catches
ttains by me. They don’t even send the
childgen to bed by me. All the other
clocks in the house have: some work to
do, but I have none.: I just go on being
wound up every week, and don’t. do
anything WORTH WHILE. I am a
parachute (or is it a parallel ? ‘anyway,
a para something).”

Then she looked out the window and
saw Arthur, Arthur was the town hall
clock, holding a position of highest im-
portance. So many things depended on
him that he had acquired.a look of tired
concentration, but he was happy; he was
doing something WORTH WHILE
Esmeralda sighed, and summoned all her’
courage to address him.

“Arthur,” she asked,

me. I am. so discouraged.”

But Arthur only shrugged his shoul-
ders in dignified contempt.

To.the Editors of the Corece News:

For the first time we have a plea for
nore games—and in the winter season
at that! We must realize that this year’s
schedule is merely an experiment; and
if one. season is too crowded the college
must remember to redistribute the sports
for the next year. If we are going to
compare basketball with hockey, we shall
have to take into account the fact that
heretofore, like hockey, basketball has
been played outdoors, on three fields, and
in a season in which there were com-
paratively few other sports. In the win-
ter there are: Gym (Danish, apparatus,
and tumbling), folk dancing (under-
graduate and outsiders), tacrosse, swim-
ming, fencing and basketball (graduate
and undergraduate)—to say nothing of
such trifles as play rehearsals—most of
which sports take place on the basket-
ball floor.

As a matter of fact, until recently, each
‘class has not played every other class
twice; and some people prefer the older

it all, then and there.

At last the mistress of the house de-

—she had never heen much good from

So she was given to the cook, who set
her up in the kitchen, just because she
was pretty. For a few days she con-
tinued to sulk, and stubbornly refused to
go. Then, at last, she realized that this
course of action was worse than use-

Soon the cook began to let her do
small tasks, such as timing the master’s

the deed, she did it with all her might.
She was doing

From time to time she looked out of
the window at Arthur, but from her
humble station, she did not dare speak
to him; and he was so busy that he never
once looked drer way.

A long time passed, then one. night
the cook’s sweetheart, who was janitor
of the Town Hall, came into the kitchen
in a state of peat evident consternation.
“Arthur,” he moaned, “I have let him
run down. I don’t dare tell anyone, or
I shall lose my job. hg

The cook was at first as agitated as
he was, and. as for Esmeralda, she
thought the world would surely come to
an end. In her excitement she ticked

cook a wonderful idea.

AMONG NEW BOOKS

Irony, oP. Ae, te: Thane: ene
Allen and Unwin, Ltd., London.

Heré is an admirable niece of cofi-
structivé literary criticism. Its chief
virtue lies in an almost dramatic revela~
tion of qualities in the classic material
it treats of, qualities, which may have
beerr touched upon before, which in fact
_ in’ some cases are thought to be ex:
haustively analyzed, but which have
never been so_ effectively unveiled.
These are the qualities of frony, which
‘we learn is mafiysided, for, to quote the
atthor, “phere is no*such thing as Irony
in the abstract, but we must deal with
the Irony‘of Euripides or Thucydides or
another. ” Dr. Thomson * gives
the principle of Irony a_ surprisingly
wide ang hut absolutely correct applica-
tion, Taking his cue from the Tragic
Irony and the Socratic Irony familiar tq
us all, he proceeds to consider Homer,
Aristophanes, Herodotus, Thucydides
and others’ in the light of irony. He
shows it’to be the essential attribute of
“all Greek literary art. And, after read-
ing/his book, we marvel that we could
have failed to gauge the importance of
this’ fundamental aspect of the Greek
spirit by confining irony rather strictly
to the tragedians and Socrates in our
general appreciation. It is truly a reve-
lation that Dr. Thomson makes to us in
this.. He goes on to explain, with keen
psychological insight, that it is because
the ironic viéw of ‘life was as natural
to the Greeks “as breathing that ‘they

made so little of it in their speech. They4
PE. xecutive

had no word for irony until Socratic
dialogue, which was a new departure
from their half-conscious conception of
irony, demanded a name for Socrates’
particular weapon because it was so
puzzling.

To tell what use Dr. Thomson says is
made of irony in the various kinds of
Greek literature would be to spoil for
. the reader the thrill of discovery in the
writing which raises the book to the
highest pitch of interest which scholarly
detachment would allow.

With the exception of one chapter de-
voted to Latin authors,-who in the mat-
ter of irony as well as in most other
literary matters only reflect Greek ‘glory.
‘Dr. Thomson does not unless incidentally
take up any other literature. He calls
his book “an historical introduction.”
Nevertheless, the study is basic, because
to no other people did irony belong as
a natural right as it did to the Greeks,
and no other people developed it to the
same degree. Thus the author has been
able to analyze the subject thoroughly
and profoundly.

‘ Trony is a study that will appeal to
scholars without deterring those who are
not scholarly at all. An exhaustive
knowledge of Greek is by no means a
prerequisite to reading it. The attitude
is that of direct interest, not that of
superior learning, and this is higher
praise than it sounds. The book abounds
in quotations which are the best examples
of art as well as of irony, and in this
way furnishes a delightful review of
the Greek classics. ;

Bryn Mawr may well be proud of
having enjoyed Dr. Thomson’s teaching,
as it did a few years ago.

a flourish of drums the heralds emerged
from Pembroke Arch, followed by a
procession in which the entire college
was included.
in her royal chair and surrounded by the
ladies and gentlemen of her court, was

hind her, mounted, came Robin Hood
and the Queen of the May with their
Merrymen, and after thn the oxen

the lasses and lads who were to dance
about it. Next came the floats with the
casts of the various plays, and, scattered

seemed like — spomaneity. The

cloisters or in a particular’ hollow to set
two* performances. Besides the plays
there were Morris dancers on the green,
and strolling singers, jesters and wan-
dering peddlers who affordéd continual

labor which preceded the final result

stood only by those ‘who were. responsi-
ble for some part of it, and not always
clear even to them. To manage the real
business of May Day various depart-
ments were created such as Plays, Green,
Publicity, Costumes, and Production,
headed respectively by Mr. King, Miss
Applebee, Mrs. Collins, Mr¢, Skinner,
and provided each with a committee of
undergraduates with a responsible chair-
man. The heads of the departments to-
‘gether with the President of the Under-
graduate Association’ and an undergrad-
Puate Secretary were organized into an
Committee with President
Park as its chairman. This committee
managed the affairs of May Day and
planned the necessary legislation, dealt
with problems of administration, ‘and
settled disputes between the departments.
But there was also a Central Committee
composed of the Undergraduate Chair-
men of departmental committees and all
other committees such as Paper, Flow-
ers, Animals, etc. together with the
President of the Undergraduate Associa-
tion and a member of the Senior Class.
This Central Committee practically dup-
licated the work of the Executive Com-
mittee, doing it less efficiently and with
a great deal more effort. The depart-
mental committees were in a somewhat
similar situation with regard to. their
heads, often going over matters already
decided and frequently finding causes
of dispute. This was due, in large
measure, fo the fact that there was both
a head of the department with _ final
authority and at the same time an under-
graduate chairman who frequently felt
the department to be her own particular
province.

The difficulties of organization have
here been suggested, but there were
other difficulties, notably in a_ financial
way. In 1924 there was no budget, and
hence no way of controlling expenses or
keeping thém within a certain limit. As
a result a considerable amount of pub-
licity was necessary to sell enough tick-
ets to cover the cost of production.

Reputation Must Be Sustained.

Simplificatioh of May Day is not so
easy a matter as it seems ,and must be
considered in the light of two very im-
portant tissues. The* first of. these is
the reputation which Bryn Mawr has
established and which, intangible though
it is, nevertheless, binds us to a certain
standard ‘of excellence. The second is a
far more serious problem. “Unless _ the
Undergraduates are willing to set them-
selves. this standard of excellence, those
people, who, in other years, have offered
to us their assistance and their name
will no longer be willing to undertake so
arge a task.

Suggested Alternatives.

There are, therefore, three alternatives
for 1928; In the first place, it is possi-
ble to give May Day after the manner of
1900 as has been so eagerly advocated of
late. In this case the committee feels
that the purpose of simplification would
be defeated without any real advantage.
As I have indicated aboye, the entire re-
sponsibility of the production would fall
on the undergraduates. No assistance
could be asked or expected, and the de-
partments, instead of being run by those
who are most fitted to handle them with
ease and efficiency, will be placed in the
hands of undergraduate committees
whose work would be doubled and
trebled no matter how drastically the
production was cut and simplified. Con-
sider, for example, the difficulty of a
single committee attempting to produce

ance.

Two “children,” adequately played by
Douglas Montgomery and Sylvia Sid-
ney, get involved as a bit of contrasting
innocence. “Mouse” Turner, an’ old-

from his trade, furnishes further con-
trast.

Of course, after plenty of opportunity
has been given to expose gang methods,
the Police Department steps in and the
end is very moral—the master mind is
headed for the electric chair.

Two scenes are very well staged-—the
robbery of Goldberg’s jewelry store at
a crowded corner of Broadway, and the
last scene in the police inspector's office,
where oné sees some unpleasant third
degree methods. The episode at the
gang’s club achieves some eerie effects.

It is sensational, yes, but fairly enter-

cess.

SWANN ON THE ATOM

CONTINUED FROM PAGH 1



The electron is much smaller than the
hydrogen atom (which is used as the
unit), and it always has a_ negative
charge. By observing the spectroscopic
and radioactive phenomena, Moséley has
found out that the atom is composed,

not as Thompson at first supposed, of a

sphere of positive helium with negative
electrons stuck in like plums, but of a
very heavy central nucleus of positive
electricity with negative electrons re-
volving about it. The size of an electron
is to a pin point as a pin point is to
the diameter of the orbit of the earth’s
revolution about the sun.

The difference in the weight of the

atoms is due to the number of positive

charges upon the nucleus. These posi-
tive charges: are called protons. An
atom which has one proton is hydrogen;

~ one which has two is the next element,
and so on. Adding a proton changes

an atom from one element to the next
heaviest, but adding a‘ proton and an

electron apparently makes no change in

the atom. Such atoms, i. e., those which

' differ by one proton and one electron,

are called isotopes. The discovery of

these explains certain slight discrepan-

lot in the weights of certain elements.

electron revolving around a nucleus. .An
electron may also leap from one orbit
to another. There is no explanation of
these theories, but they are necessitated
by the spectroscope to explain the defi*
nite character of the light rays.»
Theories, however, like people; acquire
ailments with age, and the Quantum
theory is no exception. It gives no ac-

in the spectrum, nor does the law for

SHAW

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

r The drama for Shaw existed as a ve-

hicle—a means of presenting his philoso-
phy of life. “Art for philosophy’s sake”
is his theory. According to him, drama
should refine one’s sense of character
and conduct. When he laid aside the
role of music and fiction critic for that
of dramatic critic, he found the theatre
in a deplorable state, so he at once set
to work to create a new drama based
on a new philosophy of life. As Miss
Drew observed, this at once brings up
the question whether it is possible to
have fine plays with a definitely mora!
purpose.

At his best, in Candida when she
chooses between her husband and__her
lover or in the trial scene of St. Joan,
Shaw is a spontaneous dramatist
almost in spite of himself. But Miss
Drew believes that he will finally. live
on the basis of a humorist, if at all.
St. Joan is the only great serious char-
acter which he has created. The other
serious characters live merely intellec-
tually. His forte is in creating scenes
of light fun. But in general, his drama
appeals to the intellect and contains no
human passion.

Miss Drew said that he is unique as a
satirist because of his impartiality, thus
differing from Mr. G. K. Chesterton
and Mr. H. G. Wells. Another unusual
thing in a satirist is the fact that Mr.
Shaw has actually succeeded in chang-
ing public opinion. This influence did
not exist eighteen years ago, and in fact
antil recently there has been a wide dif-
ference in the appreciation of Shaw
between England and the United States,
England refusing to take Shaw seri
ously and to become irritated and_per-
sisting in the belief that Shaw was
merely “the celebrated buffoon.’

No matter what his fate as dramatist,
Miss Drew believes that his greatness
and value as a thinker are enormous.
He imitates no one; his view of society
is sound; and his, attacks hit to the
quick. He has never ceased to work
for his ideals, and he is a real repub-
lican in that he has devoted his life to
society. “His mind,” said Miss Drew,
“has the clearness of crystal and the
sharpness of steel,
titude ~ high-hearted, fighting spirit
have; as Chesterton has remarked,
‘maine of the saint and hero’.”

Miss Drew does not believe that Mr.
Shaw is a purely destructive artist. She
sees the element of construction in his
conviction that there

the state into whith the college would be
‘thrown, - Simplification, which was in-
jtended to lighten the burden of the stu-
dénts, would thus only add to it. Phe
expense of stich a performance would,
moreover, mount up to a. formidable
sum no mattef what precautions were
taken. Tickets, would have to be sold,
Hut sold for a second rate performance
(and when run and managed by stu-
dents, who could at best devote to it
only a part of,their trie time, it would
of necessity .be a second rate perform-
ance); the rotind sum of three dollars
would have to be reduced to a half or
a third; tickets could not be sold all
over the country, and as a result the
cost of the thing could hardly be cov-
ered even though there were no possibil-
ity of- rain to reduce the gate receipts.
Those who advocate the spontaneity of
1900 May Day will see, I think, a cer-
tain fallacy in such a suggestion, With-
out the care and accuracy in detail as
well as in g@meral effect which has hith-
erto given it the true character of an
Elizabethan revel, it becomes hardly
more than a spectacular pageant of no
unusual value ‘or interest. In 1924 May
Day was a work of art for those who
witnessed it; and for those who lived it,
it was, I think, an aesthetic experience.
Now spontaneity is a lovely word, but
it can hardly be applied to a work of

hundred people working together. If
we insist on the spontaneity we can not
hope for anything more inspiring than

ootball snake dance or a Little May
Day Gambol on the Green.

Shall We Abolish May Day?

Rather than this let us abolish May
Day entirely. And indeed this is the
second alternative. The arguments in
favor of this point of view are of two
kinds—individualistic and _ collegiate.
There are many people who do not
care to devote their time and energy
to a thing of this sort. It means a
sacrifice certainly—of week-ends|. per-
haps, of time for reading and study as
well as of those things which are es-
sentially a matter of individual choice.
On the collegiate side it means divert-
ing the current of activities from their
accustomed channels into a_ single
street. Athletics “assume a second
rank; plays and Glee Club cease to
exist. .In fact everything becomes
subordinate to the common cause of
May Day. A third argument, and per-
haps the one which carries greatest
weight is the fact that it is after all,
an out-of-door affair and in early May
there is nothing more uncertain than
the weather.

The last alternative is to give May
Day as it has always been given in the
past, no less excellently and with no
inferior standard of perfection, but to
institute in its direction and manage-
ment certain radical reforms which will
lighten the responsibility of the under-
graduates and will, at the same time,
keep down the cost of the whole and
prevent its further elaboration. On
this assumption the committee has pro-:
eveded and has made its suggestions.

Reorganization of Committees.

The methods of simplification which
the committee wishes to present are
three. The first of these applies to the
organization of departments and com-
mittees. There shall be, as formerly,
the departments with thier respective
heads, and for each department there
shall also be an undergraduate com-
mittee. It has been suggested that this
committee have no chairman, but work
directly under the orders of the de-

Champion Remembers Us.

M. Edouard Champion, the’ distin-

universities in this way:

“There was certainly no question of
the material comforts of our colleges and
universities. Did M. Champion also find
a genuine scholastic enthusiasm and
seriousness there?

‘“Why,” said he, “at Bryn Mawr I
went into a classroom by chance—quite
by chance! The professor was talking

Jansenits. He finished and called on
some of his *pupils to go on, and they
got up and continued with the discussion
as if they were teachers: themselves !”
‘These universities visits seem to~have

culine prof®ssor in the audience. At
Princeton where Dean Gauss gave him
a reception and some fifteen hundred

ried all over again.’—Vassar Miscellany

» ‘A COMMON FEELING

In the fini issue of his administra-
tion, the outgoing editor of the Nebraska
University daily Paper takes. occasion to

look over his career and announce that.

if he had to do it again, “it would be
done much differently.” His policy was
to avoid fights “and to praise. “We
thought that b encouraging, by prais-
ing, by boosting here and théfe we could
produce the best - results.
the beginning of the semester that ‘it
will be our honest and sincere purpose
during the coming semester to interpret

the news of the university in such a
way that it will provoke thought among
the students’. Imagine ‘anyone profok-
ing thought on this campus by interpret-
ing the news! Nothing short of a car-
load of TNT could move this student
body as it is now.”

From thefi on; for a day and & half,
we tallied affpost . steadily at “fireside
meetings,” before various Sunday school
groups, in discussion groups—and from
the pulpits of the church, The general
subject was the sentence of Jesus, “I
came that they might have Kfe and have
it more abundantly.” The “more abun-
dant life’—what is-it, how: may it be
attained,’ what does it involve? These
girls and boys work. hard ‘all day long,
have very little money, and live in drab
little wooden midvictorian houses. . Our
job. was. to try and help them find rich-
ness and meaning in such lives.

“Of course, it was-an itnpossible thing
ever to accomplish, but the fun of talk-
ing to them and getting to know a few
of theng made us tremendously glad we
had gone. It made us get back at the
root of everything we thought and hunt
for what really seemed to us significant
in that big broad general thing called
“life.” Unquestionably we learned more
from them than they did from us.

to meet with its head to discuss and
‘advise. The function of the chairman
shall be to relieve the head of the de-
partment of such details as he wishes
to delegate her, and to act as an inter-
mediate between the head and the
committee itself. The Executive Com-
mittee shall exist as before, but the
Central Committee shall be abolished
as—superfluous and a source of more
work than real accomplishment. In
its place there shall sit with the Execu-
tive Committee, four undergraduates,
elected from the college at large.
These four people shall be chosen with
great care and discretion with a view
to their judgment, their ability and
their interest in May Day. They shall
act as chairmen of the,minor depart-

ments such as paper flowers,- prop-
erties or animals, and they shall also
constitute an Advisory Body. This

Advisory Body shall be available for
any department or committee which
is in need of advice or assistance, and
may be called in to sit as a temporary
part of that department or committee,
The valuew@f such a body will become
apparent in the case of a dispute within
a department, or in case the opinion of
the Executive Committee or of the un-
dergraduates should be desired. For
example, in 1924 the problem of cutting
rehearsals arose in the. Play Depart-
ment. dt was brought up before the

time, be representative of the prevalent |

mittee might, with the advice of the
tbody called in for that purpose, pro=
ceed with confidence to make a rule
which would stand without question,
and it could be done in a single day,
instead’of in three weeks. , — ‘

The second recommendation is for
the-adoptio# of a budgéteby means of
which a limit may be set to expenses
and. some restriction placed on the
tendency to ever-increasing elabora-
tion. Each department may then be
assigned a certain proportion of the
whole, and thereby extravagance must
be automatically eliminated. Quoting
from the report of Mrs. Chadwick-
Collins on ‘the expenditures of previ-
May’ Days, 1924 showed an in-
crease over 1920 of more than $4000,
totalling $16,689.98 in all, In her esti-
mation a budget of $11,000 ought to
cover the cost of another May Day and
in 1928 might conceivably be made to
do so.

Eliminate Professional

The third suggestion which the com-
mittee has to offer is the elimination of
professionalism from May Day pro-
duction. In 1924,. Mrs. Otis Skinner
was here to direct and produce the
May Day performance. Her assistance
was invaluable and her presence alone
was an incalcuable inspiration and in-

ous

Element.

centive. She was, however, the only
person in authority who. received, a
sdlary. I think that we, as undergrad-

uates, hardly realized- or appreciated
the services which were given to us by
those people without whom May Day
must return to the “spontaneity of
1900.” It is through their effort that
May Day becomes at all possible. With
their help and. theirs only, May Day
remained an amateur affair, but as soon
as we asked Mrs, Skinner to manage
the production, it’ assumed _ profes-
sional proportions, and if we con-

the future measure beside profes-
sional standards, If, on the other hand
we put in place of the producer a gen-
eral manager, who will be responsible
for the whole, manage the finances, the
advertising, the sale of tickets, and con-
stitute a general bureau of complaint,

the way for 1928. Lastly, although the
production of sych a_ performance
seems an artistic whole which only a
professional could plan and arrange,
it has been so planned and arranged in
earlier years that even in 1924 no un-
due effort was required for its fulfil-
ment. The elimination of profession-
alism will not mean, however, that the
individual departnients may not em-
ploy .professional assistance provided
they pay for it out of ther allotment
of the budget. For example, the pro-
fessional musicians required in the
band and for certain of the plays will
be employed by the Music Department
and paid for by that department. Thus
the stigma of. professionalism—for it
is a stigma, here, just as in athletics—
will be removed, though in
sentials, its advantages will remain.
The committee wishes finally to
make a ‘very earnest plea that. May
Day be continued no matter what its
difficulties, no matter what it sacri-
fices. Those who have once ‘witnessed
a May Day, those who. have .-partici-
pated in it, cannot help feeling that it

“If this formal art is to ‘avoid. rigidity,

and David and Voltaire bear witness

that it often did not, two things are
necessary: a subtle and disconcerning
nature, understanding passion and cap-
able of recognizing greatness, and a
splendid tradition. That Ingres’ nature
was such is obvious if we study his
works, his portraits particularly. His
tradition was the “grande tradition
Francaise” that worshipped antiquity
this side idolatry. But if this tradition
is to be kept alive it must constantly
go back to the source for refreshment,
otherwise it becomes academic and
sterile. It is this going back to the
source, at a time when he had already
perfected his technique, that we have in
these drawings. As his own work be-
comes a standard, so in turn he meas-
ures it against that which was to him
the certain beauty. Seen in this light
the drawings become more than ex-
amples of delicate workmanship by a
great artist. They are documents in
the history of French classical paint-
ing, that painting which gives us the
visual image of a nation which, if it is
not the most spiritual, yet remains per-
haps. the most intellectual and provo-
cative in the world.



ANOTHER ALUMNA AUTHOR

Mrs. Cecil Barnes,of- Chicago, vice
president of the Bryn Mawr Alumnae
Committee, has added one more to the
list of Bryn Mawr authors. She re-
cently had a story accepted by the Cos-
mopolitan Magazine, which is shortly to
be published. The check which Mrs.
Barnes received for the story was photo-
graphed, we are told, by Mr. Barnes and
now hangs in a frame beside the family
diplomas. It is whispered that Mrs,
Barnes is now writing a play which will
surpass all her former achievements.

if Italy under Mussolini were still a free

As a result he was brought to trial in

the courage to speak his mind about the
Government but on a trumped-up charge

of having anonymously vilified the King

an exile riow, deprived of his civil rights

FROM OTHER COLLEGES

* Professors Say ‘Marry.??

The Stanford Daily and the McGill
Daily, respectively, recently published the
following notes:

According to faculty members of
Washington University, married students
do better work than single ones. “They
aren’t thinking of heavy dates,” said one
professor. “I don’t believe that the mar-
ried students are any smarter. They have
been through the excitement and ‘can ad-
just themselves to the more serious prob-
lems.” Another professor admitted that
several of his best students were married,
but added that perhaps it was merely a
coincidence. It was agreed however, that
the married students were generally older
than the others.
