Balzac’s Life in 1835

‘and’ Balzac editor’ and scholar. The
lecture was in French, and illustrated
With lantern-slides. Monsieur Bouter-
on was introduced by Monsieur Jean
Canu. :

Monsieur Bouteron took as his topic
the year 1835, and described the
crowded sequence of events ‘that. filled
it, stressing Balzac’s visit to. Vienna,
and:its influence upon him. Pictures
of the places with which Balzac was

neur.

- Balzac himself, portraits of his friends,
and _ iacsimilies of his manuscripts. were
shown as slides. M. Bouteron opened

ehis talk with a detailed description of

novelist’s Parisian apartment, and
went on to tell of Balzac’s appearance,
his habits of work, -his inability to keep
himself as a man of small estate, and
his pretentions to nobility. M. Bou-
teron léd up to the eventful year with
mention of Balzac’s travels abroad ‘in

Russia, ‘Switzerland and Italy, during

which time he was nevertheless always

On_his return to Paris he led a gay
social life_in_the salons, but in_order
to escape from. the Garde Nationale,
he was finally compelled to joe ep
the name of Mme. Veuve Durand,

a magnificent apartment, later sical
by him if “La Fille aux Yeux d’Or.”
While he was in retreat ‘the Ambassa-
_dor of Austria sought him out, and a
‘somewhat ironical interview was given
him*by Balzac. Balzac was invited by
the Ambassador to visit Vienna, and
he-soon yielded to the inducement as

he_felt-that—he—must—travel—somewhere:

When he arrived in Vienna he received |

a tremendous popular ovation as a
great: novelist, and was also enter-
tained by the cream of Vienna society.

Odyssey Movies Shown

~On Thursday, February 6, at
o'clock, Mr, B. D. MacDonald: showed
moying pictures of the Odyssey cruise
to a small group of students in the
Auditorium of Goodhart Hall. The
Odyssey cruisé offers acquaintance
with the small and historic islands of
the Ionian and Aegean..Seas.. which
"latge cruisers are forced to omit.
Starting at Venice and boarding the
Odvssey at Ragusa, the members are
carried to Corfu, Corinth, Athens,
Crete and Rhodes, up the cost of
Turkey and through the Sea of Mar-
mora to Constantinople. The return
trip follows the northern coast of the
Aegean back to Athens, the Gulf of
‘Corinth and Venice. Many inland
trips to historic: spots such as Delphi,
Knossus and Troy are included, and
the 1930 Odyssey for young women
and adults arranges for a trip up the
Danube and on to Oberammergau for
the Passion Play:

- The good felowship of the cruise was
stressed as- well as the unusual educa-
“tional” offerings of its itinerary. Swim-
ming is-a favorite sport, and one of the+
interesting feats is to'cross the Helles-
pont. The membership of the trip is
limited to fifty, with twelve carefully
selected young men. The Odyssey

an

Three-Period Year Idea
Open For Discussion



In chapel Tuesday, February 4, Act-
ing-President Manning spoke concern-
ing further investigations being made
by the Curriculum Committee. Presi-
dent ae before leaving for Egypt,
suggested. that the committee consider
doing away with mid-year examina-
tions... The Bryn Mawr: year is as
short as that of any institution.im the
country, and the curriculum would be
so revised in order to lengthen the col-
lege year, and to give time for a read-
ing period in preparatign for final ex-
aminations and also for papers and
reports; the period between the end of
Chrié8tmas vacation and the present
schedule of mid-year examinations is a
poor time for preparation. The main
disadvantage of such a change, as ap-
parent to the Ungergraduate Curricu-
lum Comntittee, would be the necessity

to remember’ a course for more thait

one semester, a necessity that might
be thought an advantage by the Fac-
ulty.. Mrs. Manning hopes that the
change might improve the character
of the examinations, d make them
more general comprehensive.
Such changes in ystem, however,
would have to be accomplished by a
more careful regulation and schedule of
quizzes; there might be under the new

system an arrangement to break the

year-into-three-parts instead of two.

The Curriculesn” Committee is
scarcely beginning to discuss the sub-
ject, but: there is no- reason why the
‘undergraduates should not know that a
change has been suggested so as to
have the opportunity of discussing the
‘possibility themselves. The investiga-
tion will be continued by the Curricu-
lum Committee during the second se-

mester.as a part of their general Pro- | cerned.

Exercise Enlivens the

Minds of the Lazy

In chapel. Thursday, February 6,
Miss Josephine Petts announced the
new chafiges in the system of the
Physical Education Department. Miss
Petts prefaced the announcement with
explanation of the part physical
education plays’ in college activities.
Physical education in almost all col-
leges requires four periods of exercise
a week for four years; the plan at Bryh
Mawr, however, is different—only two
periods of required exercise for two
years, The object of. an exercise _re-
quirement is the essential building. up
of vitality; the department wishes to
feel that when students graduate. their
trained minds are supported by agile



ercise. In.most colleges gymnastics
are required during the first two years;
and-the exercise of the last two years
is left to the students’ choice; here the
activities are absolutely elective from
the beginning. The department. be-
lieves that no gymnastic system is ap-
plicable to the problem of the college
student, although there are certain
good gymnastic exercises—such as
those to be used on getting up—that

Bs and an established habit of ex-

rthe individual:may be interested in.

Exercise, possibly “more than any-
thing else, contributes to aliveness.
The department has worked out the.
schedule so that it may be enjoyable,
for exercise is wasted if it is not en-
joyed. Further, the reasons for the
requirement of only two years, are
that in two years students should at-
tain skill in oné activity. and that the
only way to impress the essentiality of
exercise upon the students is to let
them learn by experience, so that in
the Junior year will come a-slump, but
in the Senior year a returh to the fold.
Even as early as Ovid it was said: “See
how: idleness the lazy body destroys,
How water in the lake without move-
ment spoils.” .

Having arranged the minimum of re-
quirement, the department holds the
students to “strict accountability” for
the attendance of classes; people - who

Professor Whitehead in his second lec-
ture under the Flexner Foundation
began :

“We will glafice at accessory causes
and criticize the humanitarian ideal gath-
ering ‘strength since_the nineteenth cen-
tury. And we. will include the sketch
of a reply to this criticism.

“The growth of technology about the
seventeenth century is the greatest of
accessory causes weakening the success
of slavery. The organization of a well-
fixed. order. of. society. ina -well-man-
aged feudal system must not be con-
fused witlt slavery. The adjustment of
big business in modern finance involves
a closer analogy to feudalism
feudalism to slavery. Individualists and
socialists are: debating the details of a
neo-feudalism which modern industry re-
quires. The problem of social life is
the problem of co-ordination of activities.
Thanks to the growth of technology con-
currently with the advance of. civiliza-
tion; the Etirépean— races have—avoided-
slavery. The economic movement of the
eighteenth century with the growing
sense of the kinship of man, urged _civ-
ilized governmerits to’ extirpate slavery
from the world. Before and during the
‘nineteenth century several strands of
thought opposed the humanitarian idea.

“Throughout the eighteenth century, the
intelectual life of England was negligible

In Goodhart Hall on Wednesday eye-

ist, and Horace Alwyne, pianist, as the
fourth event in the’ Bryn’ Mawr Series.

bass the first. move-

ment of this composition; in the second

the lighter dance measures of an Alle-
gretto quasi Minuetto relieve this elegiac

‘intonation; and with’ the gladsome mood

carefully sustained the Sonata closes in
1. Allegro movement.

There followed a Hungarian Sonata
written expressly for Miss Harrison by °
Kodaly. This *composition is unique Ah
that it is entirely unaccompanied. In
dition Kodaly has put many new tech-
nical ideas into the formation of the’
piece,—and_.the’cello—is—strained—to—its—
utmost musical capacity. Miss Harrison
gave a superb rendition of this difficult
composition, while in her happy choice
of an encore she connteracted. the daz-
zling technicalities.of the Sonata with an
antidote of pure melody.

The third and fifth numbers in the
program were. written by Delius, a com-
poser | little recognized in America, al-
though he is very well known in. Ger-
many and in. England, where recently a
whole week: was set apart for a music
festival in honor of his works. As Mr.
Alwyne explained,:Delius is one of the
most—_tragic —_figures-—of contemporary
music, since he now paralyzed and
quite blind. His works have a certain

ness which is well brought out in the

Sonata No. 2 in C. This composition is
written in -ohe---continuous. movement
(con moto—l¢gnto—yvivace). for. the violin
and piane.% Mr. Koutzen, who began
somewhat stiffly, gave a creditable per-
formance.

The moody ‘thoughtfulness of Delius
was expressed by Miss Harrison and Mr.
Alwyne in the Sonata; which the com-
poser had dedicated to Miss Harrison
in whose garden he often wrote. It is
a composition with an impassioned theme
well adapted to the ‘cello. Of this same
vibrant: sonority Elegie by Faure,
which. Miss Harrison played assisted by
Vernon Hammond’s accompaniment ;
while in direct .contrast to such deep-
woven harmony is—Scott’s Pastorale and -.
Reel, where the ‘cello becomes a more*
frivolous instrument and sings perhaps of
a hundred shepherds competing in a bag-
pipe playing contest. Indeed, under Miss
Harrison's skillful hands the violoncello
became a most astonishingly versatile in-
strument, at times almost aS gay as a
piccolo and at. other times as plaintive
as a violin.

The program was as follows:

Violoncello ‘and Pianoforte: Sonata

TE MONTH -

With the coming of February,
Bryn Mawr usually becomes ac-
tively biology minded.. There is a
subtle interest, even among the least
scientifically inclined, evinced in the
doings of Dalton’s darlings. Whis-
pered questions float about the
campus, wafted..on aromas’ of sus-
pected origin. These are the dog-
fish days, and we always welcome
their appearance. They mark off
time so very definitely for-us; we
can telF so reatily “just” when they
begin, how they progress, and when
they ‘are about to draw to a rather
climactic close. Yea, February, for

All Our Yesterdays
H. M. Tomlinson (Harper and Bros.)



H. M. Tomlinson is not an easy au-
thor to criticize. The more common
nuggets of the reviewer’s vocabulary
simply cannot.be polished down to be
used anew in the name of this novelist.
Constructively his work is poor, Char-
acter ’ painting. is practically nil—
though Tomlinson’s* purely objective
method. does give a kind of physical por-
trayal of personality. There is none
of the homely virtue of minute descrip-
tion which can sometimes be held out
as an author’s claim to dimmish glory.
There. is not the clarity of aim which

tably’ and know what is to come.
Tomlinson is possibly beyond all these
(if we must classify our heroes!) and
his style is quite his own.

The word which strikes us “as most
applicable is “impressionism,” but that
is a difficult word to explain, and it |
often leads into tangled trends of artis-
tic simile. However, we use it brave-
ly, for its own sake. .Tomlinson’s
method is’ impressionistic, then. He
piles on words that often are not con-
cretely applicable; they do usually,
though, arrange themselves so as to
leave the sometimes startled reader

to show, and a feeling of heightened
imaginative imagery. At times the
reader is forced to work out the allu-
sions hidden in these word heaps for
himself. Often he finds himself lost in
what had promised to be a thrilling

anti-war sentiment is aroused. by
lating as movingly,
possible the experiences of individuals
of whose pre-war lives we are usually
well aware. Tomlinson, the other
hand, rarely descends to the pathos of
his few characters.. The best parts of
the war- description are those which
grasp the horror and agony of a world
torn from its foundations; all of na-

| Bryn Mawr Labelled as

____ Intellectually Incliied
ee

Ever since we ran across an article in
a recent Harper’s mentioning the endow-
ment for. daily baked potatoes. at. Bryn
Mawr, we have been intending to make
a collection of “What others: think about
us” for the delectation of the present
“damsels from the House of Athene,”
as Christopher Morley so kindly puts it.
With this in mind, we wrestled with the
stacks and Poole’s Index over the week-
end and found ourselves well represented
in picture and print. We range from the
Ladies’ Home Journal to the Archaelogi-
cal Record, from’Commencement to Lan-
tern Night, and from 1888 to 1929.

In 1888 the Nineteenth Century (Vol-
ume 23:918—) got-interested imayg, then
three years old;-and printed an article
by a junior, Alys Smith, on “A Woman’s
College in the United States.” Those
were the good old days when the tuition
was $100 and cuts were unlimited, “since
those who-do not pass their examinations
at’ the end. of the year will not be re-
ceived again.” Lantern Night was. al-
ready in evidence, the lanterns being a
“symbol of the light she (the student)
will require for her guidance—above all
in the choice of her group.” The first
skits are described; one of them, repre-
senting a search for earthworms, was
particularly appreciated by the biology
students. :



Exercise was. universal, and the gym
seems to have been overrun with enthtisi-
astic students in “very -full Turkish
trousers, loose blouses and tennis shoes,”
dark blue and red being the favorite col-.
ors. Students pursued each other about
the race track or exercised staunchly on
the floor below. Hare dnd hounds, skat-
ing, and sledding, were forms of. outdoor
sport.

Shingle Wanes in Favor

of Long Hair at Smith



The popularity of the once almost ‘uni-
versal bob is waning. Haircuts are ‘not
as much in demand as they: were, and the
Draper Hotel -Barber Shop is not so
busy bobbing the hair of the students of
Smith College today, as it was two years
ago. Then, everyone had bobbed hair in
some form or shape, and those who had
not were acquiring it one by one. Shorter
and shorter, more and more. shingled,
grew the bobs:

Now, fashion decrees that long hair is
the sophisticated thing. Fewer girls
come into the barber shop for trims and
bobs, but still about half of the students
have their. cherished short hair so that
there is still a good number. of bobs and
shingles. to be kept in order.

But the barber shop can easily see that
the business of letting one’s hair grow is
a long and painful one. Many are the
girls who come in and have hair that
has grown down to the shoulders cut
off. Discouragement and desperation are
sometimes stronger than the commands
of fashion. Hair that has been growing
for almost two years is often sacrificéd to
comfort. Another strange fact—though
one might think that a: college student
would be more interested in the coming
and going of fashions than her little sister,
this is.not the case. It is the little girls
of twelve and thirteen who are most as-
siduously letting their hair grow, perhaps
“for something to do.”

“No two girls want their hair done
alike, and some of them don’t know What
they do want”’ Some, however, have
very definite, ideas and bring in pictures,
clipped from magazines, saying that they,,
want a bob like that of the picture, a
demand which is hard on the barber_if
the ‘girl just doesn't, ~by. any stretch of
the imagination, look like the pictured
movie star. All bobs are different and
some have longer lives than others. The

Hume and Huxley were united in their

In medieval times the Giviinte of

Two hundred of the law students of

a strike to force. the discharge of the
university examiners, stormed the law
school building and spent that night and
day barricaded withtn after hoisting ‘the

“Phe contitig to power in England of

‘ta Labor Government with a Socialist,

Ramsay MacDonald, at its head, and
the continuance of the Communist ex-
periment in Soviet Russia, has led. to
the formation of the first American

student tour to study at first hand

these labor ventures. The toyr is being
sponsored by the League for Indus-
trial Democracy in co-operation with
the Open Road, Inc,

The various types of socialism as
represented in the British Labor Party,
the British and German co-operative
movements, the municipal housing and
child welfare projects of Vienna, and
the revolutionary communism in Rus-
sia will be examined ang. contrasted
under the direction of Dr. Harry W.
Laidler. Dr. Laidler, who is the ex-
ecutive director of the League for In-
dustrial Democracy, is recognized as
one of the foremost Socialist scholars
of America. His “History of Socialist
Thought” ‘and: other ‘books have been
translated into the major languages of
the world.

The study group will be limited to
fifteen college.students and professors.
The party will sail from New. York on
the speedy German liner S. S. Bremen,
June 28, and: during the next eight
weeks wil visit England, Finland, Rus-
sia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and
Ffance.

“This tour is being organized to ac-
quaint students with the rising and

important social movements of the
world,” said Dr. Laidler in his office
at 112 East. 19th Street,- New York.

“Every season’ ;téns of thousands of
American students return from viewing
Europe’s past glories in art, literature,
politics and religion, utterly oblivious
of- the social ideas and
ments of the present day, The unmis-
takable-trend- in Europe today is to-

ward-a social order based: on produc- |’

tion for use rather than profit. . Sooner

structors are to us their discretion in

Now Established



Announcement has been made of the
incorporation of The Traversity, a new
travel college, with a curriculum and
discipline especially adapted to traveling.

The name ‘Traversity” is derived from

the verb ,to traverse, mearting to cross in

traveling, wander. over, to examine or

survey carefully. It is also a combina-

tion of Travel’ University.

Among the activities of The Trav-
ersity will be the sailing in fall of a large
group of students for a year of study
around the world: An individual travel-
ing by himself may also receive through
The Traversity the same sort of assist-
ance and direction provided for those
traveling in student groups. Qualifica-
tions will, not be ‘by examinations, but by
evidence of sefious interest in world prob-
lems such as politics, sociology, art, liter-
ature, religions, trade and ‘commerce.

The president of The Traversity is
Sydney Greenbie. who has had -consid-
erable executive experience in this type
of education. Mr. Greenbie -is theu-
thor of books“of travel, history and edu-
cation.

“The Traversity,” said Mr. Greenbie,
when asked to define the scope of the
institution, “is to be neither a. floating
nor a drifting university. The idea of
carrying on regular classes in stereotyped
college courses on shipboard, and then
going .off rah-rah sight-seeing for a
couple of days in port, is’ pedagogical
bunk. The Traversity aims to survey
carefully but pleasurably all the phases
of world-civilization that: interest the
cultivated man of the world. College
deans have admitted to me that one year
round the world is worth four years of

Ladingl,. Ladies!

Six thousand girls at Foun
have talked. over the new.longskirted
styles; and nearly thre€-fourths of the
total made a formal protest against the
innovation. Almost every day some
one becomes violent over.the new fash-
ions.




Many women who knew the discom-
forts of stays. and voJuminous gowns
get excited at the unhappy prospect of
returning to that hampering clutch. It
is really not at. all surprising that, they
should object to something that re-
minds them of the old days preceding
their emancipation.

The young things who rebel seem
less credible. Little girls have always
loved to dress up in mother’s clothes,
and the college girls of today have been
deprived of that privilege.’ At least,
if they did put.on a grown-up frock, it
was just like their own in its straight
lines and short skirts. ‘Now they have
a.chance to swish about haughtily in
flowing silks, and -if-they.exclaim that
they don’t want to, it is hard to betieve
them,

The male sex has been grinning from
ear- to ear at the advent of the new
styles and the apparent -relinquishment
of the freedom which the fair sex won
after a long-fought battle.

states that “the passion for learning

are the two vital forces which animate
this, little group of girls among the Penn-

show “one of the most perfectly consti-
tuted democracies that exists—such as
men and nations might afford the time
to pause before and examine,” The trials
of a hypothetical freshman, ‘‘Minerva

Europe a_ series of remedial industrial

developed a competition between the pure
Liberals and the modified? Liberals.
From 1830. on, English Liberalism was
decaying because its system lacked prac-

century a whole new movement of so-

modern science gives a good explanation
why so much passiofi is required. Cer-
tainly this adequacy of ends does not
