Portraiture and Gay Coloring
of Mosaics in Saint Sophia
Are Excellent
9TH CENTURY INTEREST
IN ARCHAEOLOGY SHOWN
Deanery, March 3.—Mr. Thomas
Whittemore, Director of the Byzantine
Institute, in explainifig his work of
uncovering and preserving the mosaics
of Saint Sophia, announced that five
...years. would be necessary to complete
the work on the greater pictures and
five additional years for the smaller
pieces. The great mosque has recent-
ly been made a’ museum by the Turk-
ish Government and Mr. Whittemore
is at work to reveal and preserve the
beautifully colored and skillfully made
mosaic decorations of ‘the church. His
work is not to restore nor to remove
the mosaics, but merely to uncover and
clean them.
These mosaics were put up in about
the ninth century by the Byzantine
emperors. When the Turks captured
the city they were left untouched at
first, but later they covered them up,
since they have a traditional prejudice
against figure painting. The mosaics
were not destroyed, but were covered
with paint or plaster, which was work-
ed_with the. flower designs borrowed
from the textiles of Egypt and other
nations. The exact date when the mo-
saics were covered is not known, but
a traveler sketched them in 1710,
which fixes the only sure date in their
history. At various times in history
repairs and restorations have been
made in small areas, and braces have
been put up to hold the glass pieces
in place. Mr. Whittemore’s workers
have removed these braces, and have
fixed the individual pieces of glass and
corrected the abrasions of the surfaces
and beddings. with small copper pegs.
All conservation is completed before
the paintings are uncovered, so that
there can be no error resulting from
the work. The process of removing
the paint and plaster is long and dif-

Dramatic Monologues
Miss Helen Howe, noted mono-

next Monday, March 11, at 8.20 P. M.,
to give a series of sketches grouped
under her title, Characters and Cari-
catures. Miss-Howe has done excel-
lent work in the field of the dramatic
monologue: in a recent articles in
Time her work was highly compli-
mented,—“Critics, who had not seen
her in Manhattan since 1932, applaud-
ed her sly caricatures of the.U. S.
scene, rated her less profound than
Draper & Skinner, wittier than eith-
er.” .She may not be as deep as Ruth
Draper and Cornelia Otis Skinner, but
her Characters and Caricatures are
highly amusing and range in subject
matter from Girl Scout picnics to
Garden Club meetings and afternoon
sales. Among her best are Madrigal,
in which some British socialites re-
hearse for a Christmas madrigal sing-

Introducing Dr. Daisy Bell, the intro-
duction given by the president of a
girls’ college in presenting a Dr. Daisy
Bell who will address them on the

Characters and Caricatures consists
of five short scenes giving five dif-
ferent people’s reactions to the recent
textile strikes in New England.

Renowned Actrtiss
Favors Greek Play
Dame. Sybil Thorndike. Says
‘Acting Links All Humanity
With Emotion
ACTOR CONTROLS ROLE
(Especially contributed in NEWS
tryouts)
Deanery, March 1. — Dame Sybil
Thorndike, England’s foremost ac-
tress, discussed the art of acting with
a fervor which showed in itself her
own sincerity and her, very deep ap-
preciation and love of this art. Dame
Sybil has spent a life in the theatre
during which she has made*very sig-
nificant contributions to it. King
George expressed his appreciation of
her work, which has been spread as
far away from England:as New Zea-
land and South Africa, by bestowing
upon her in 1931 the honor of Dame
Commander of the British Empire.
She is one of three women in the
English theatre who have _ received
this distinguishing honor.
Those who have not been very en-
thusiastic about the presentation of
Euripides’ Bacchai might have heard
Dame Sybil to particular advantage.
She herself has Studied this play and
worked on it, but has never acted in
it. To her it is the finest and the
most difficult of all Greek plays.
Laughingly, she said that it was much
too difficult for professionals to give,
particularly because their perform-
ances must be arranged with consid-
eration for the public. She greatly
envied our independence and said, “It
is courageous and splendid to go into
a thing to get what you can out of
it.”
Dame Sybil has spent a great deal
of time on the Medea. She believed
she had obtained from it almost all it
could give, but an experience she had
in Johannesburg, South Africa, con-
vinced her that these plays have in-
numerable opportunities, for interpre-
tation and study. The Zulus and other
natives, who acted as stage hands in
the theatre where rehearsals of the
Medea were going on, began to pay
marked attention to this play, though
heretofore they had found nothing in-
teresting in the actors’ manoeuvers.
Somehow the natives felt the rhythm
and power of the play. Like a flash
Dame Sybil saw the problem of the
old Greek drama in a modern light.
She thought of Jason as a symbol of
the cruel, driving white man, who was
crushing mercilessly Medea, repre-
sentative of these helpless, unreward-
ed black races. From that moment the
play took on a new and personal sig-
nificance for Dame Sybil.
It is this personal element that the
actor must search for. Not only in
actors and actresses, but in every hu-
man being there are characteristics,
which, though they be suppressed and
hidden, cah give him a compassionate
understanding of all other individuals.
True acting demands that you make
of yourself a symbol of your own in-
nate qualities. which are akin to those
of the character. Dame Sybil com-
pared Lady Macbeth’s bigotted selfish-
ness to the desires which mothers
have for their children; it is true that

second at the finish. 1937 took two,
places in the 40-yard free style, Simp-

place. Faeth and Bucher took two
positions in the 40-yard back stroke
event, but first honors went to Wood-

Mrs. Manning Answers
Mrs. Skinner’s Letter
To the Editor of the College News:
I was really distressed to learn from
Mrs. Skinner’s day letter as printed
in the College News of February 27
that my remarks in Chapel on Febru-
ary 14 had had such a different effect
on those interested in May Day out-
side the College than the one intended
or the one produced, I think, on the un-
dergraduate audience.
In the first place, Mrs. Skinner en-
tirely misunderstood my comments on
the 19832 May Day in supposing that
I was criticizing the performance. No
one who saw the performance could
possibly have wished for anything bet-
ter, and it is because of the perfection
of the later May Day performances
that ‘those of us who have seen them
are unwilling either to think of May
Day being abandoned or to look for-
ward-to its being given any less well
than it has been in recent years. Most |.
of us believe that one or two of the
plays could be omitted without any
real detriment to the performance as a
whole, but it is clear that unless the
pageant and the dancing are up to the
standard of 1932 alumnae and stu-
dents alike will be deeply disappointed.
The difficulties in 1932, as all who
were members of the college commun-
ity at that time will remember, were
entirely connected with interruptions

A. E. Newton Thinks
Novel Should Amuse
English Novel Excels In Humor,
Delineation of Character,
Great Comedy
NOVEL NOW LESS NAIVE
Deanery, Feb. 28.—Mr. A. Edward
Newton, ‘a distinguished essayist and
famous bibliophile, commenting: on
many phases of the development of the
novel, declared that English novels ex-
cel in great comedy, wit, and humor,
and asserted a personal preference for
love stories that end happily. He fur-
ther declared that a sufficient purpose
for a novel is to provide. a pleasant
evening’s entertainment. The popu-
larity of the English novel has grown
slowly, but today it is our most im-
portant literary form, and, while ap-
pealing to all possible tastes, it is
growing’ steadily more sophisticated.
The novel is the latest of all the
literary forms,-although its roots can
be traced as far back as the book of
Job. The first book to be ealled a novel
was William Congreve’s Incognita or
Love and Duty Reconciled, which is
like a one-act Romeo and Juliet. It
was not until fifty years later that
Richardson wrote his famous Pamela,
the interminable tale of the handsome
servant girl who led her pursuer into
such a morass of difficulties that he
finally married her. This book, which
offers itself so delightfully to parody,
was not considered funny at the time,
but so excited its vast public that peo-
ple wept over the indignities of poor
Pamela and prescribed the book for
every young girl.
Henry Fielding, the great wit, bur-
lesqued Pamela so successfully in the
smail Shamela that he developed it
into Joseph Andrews, the story of Pa-
mela’s woman-resisting brother. This
books makes Fielding the father of
the English novel, and comes to the
reader after Pamela as a “fine morn-
ing after a sick room.” Clarissa
Harlowe was Richardson’s nextwork,
and is a truly great tragedy of a
beautiful woman. It has suffered a
similar burlesque in Tom Jones, which
ranks as the first great novel in Eng-
lish. The only blemish in this other-
wise splendid work is the needless in-
troduction of a 40-page yarn having
no connection whatsoever with the
main story, a fault which Dickens also
allows to mar his Nicholas Nickleby.
Tristram Shandy is an amazing nov-
el (according to Dr. Johnson it is
“odd”), whose popularity has perse-
vered in spite of an utter lack of
plot throughout its nine volumes, only
three of which concern themselves
with the title character’s actual life.
After these perambulating novels
came the period of the Gothic tales,
exciting mystery stories where the sus-
pense of thé plot was all-important.
The first of these was Walpole’s Cas-
tle of Otranto, followed by The Monk
of Lewis. The last of these fantastic
tales was the Mysteries of Udolpho,
whose bizarre peculiarities fascinated
the readers of 1812. Scott inaugurat-
ed a newsfield for the. novel and all
of his works are worth reading. The
Heart of Midlothian contains one of
the finest descriptions of a trial ever
written and would be a splendid’story
had it ended 175 pages before iit did,
but the last part of the book is filled
with the infernal padding that was
the bane of all novels until the sim-
ple modern format was adopted. Jane
Austin came to the rescue of the novel

Hunting, Pasturing,

Limited in Forests
Mediaeval Problems of Hunting,
Poaching, Assarting Stated
by Dr. Neilson
FRENCH AND’ ENGLISH
FOREST LAW COMPARED
Goodhart Hall, March 4—One of
Bryn Mawr’s most distinguished alum-
nae, Dr. Nellie Neilson; ‘returned to
her alma mater to give the Mallory
Whiting Memorial Lecture in history,
on The Mediaeval Forest. It centered
about a field in which.she has done a
great deal of research, and the talk
which she ‘gave here is the basis for a
paper which will appear shortly. Bryn
Mawr was very privileged to learn
its contents. before it is made public.
Mediaeval towns, commerce and ag-
riculture have all been quite thorough-
ly investigated by historians, but the
uncivilized wild regions, particularly
of England, have long been unstudied
and unknown to most people. Conti-
mental equivalents, notably in France,
have been carefully ‘studied and it is
of interest to make comparisons be-
tween what is known of them and
what has only lately been discovered
about similar regions ineEngland. An
essential difference in the history of
English and Continental waste lands
is that in England there was no in-
centive for spectacular settlements of
waste land, such as there had been in
Germany, for example. There expan-
sion had meant pushing into the land
of some foreign country and winning
land from it.
The use of waste land was an eco-
nomic necessity in mediaeval times
since every nation had to cope with an
expanding population. In England
part of this land was inside.and part
outside the royal forest. The distin-
guishing characteristic of a forest was
that it was under the rule of a spe-
cial forest law and administration.
The chief object of this system was to
protect the king’s hunting. The earli-
est Saxon kings had begun the pro-
cess of setting aside lands, for the
preservation of game, which were to
be hunted only by them and their
friends. It was the period following
the Norman Conquest, however, which
saw the greatest expansion of the for-
est boundaries. William the Conquer-
or and his sons and grandsons were
great hunters and they afforested
many new regions. The extent of the
forests in the period of their greatest
importance has not yet been definitely
established, but it is known that there
were probably at least seventy of
them. They were not localized in any
single region in England; but were to

Players’ Club Will Do One Acts
The Players’ Club of the Varsity
Dramatics is giving two One-Act plays
this Saturday, March 9, at 8.20 in
Goodhart Auditorium. Anne Reese,
who has successfully directed many
such plays in the past, is again man-
aging these performances. The club
will give The Boor, by Anton Tchekov,
and The Judgment of Indra,by Dhan
Ghopal Mukerji. The latter ought to
be especially interesting to those who
heard Mr. Mukerji speak here last
year. Tickets are $0.35, and the pro-
ceeds are to go to the Bryn Mawr
Summer Camp at Avalon. The Sum-
mer Camp Committee and Varsity
Players hope that as many students as
possible who are here over the week-
end will come, for the chosen plays
are unusually interesting, and are not
often produced.

We Do Our Part
For years and years a favorite topic of campus conversation has
been how much a million dollars could do for Bryn Mawr. Alumnae
have been at work on plans for at least six years, for in 1929 a proposed
scheme for gradually expanding the college plan. and teaching and
scholarship facilities over a period of seven years was announced. This
was of course nipped in the bud by the depression which has unfortu-
As the year 1935 appeared on the
horizon the Alumnae decided that a supreme effort must be made to
nately been with us ever since.
realize some of the most essential points in the plan and the Million
Dollar Minimum Drive was organized in order to commemorate the
Fiftieth Anniversary of the college’s founding.
Several weeks ago the campus was rocked by a great discussion of
what we as undergraduates should do to aid the cause, and after much
debate it was decided to give the Greek play. But the announcement
of the pledge of $20,000 which was made this week, touched us all far
more deeply than any talk about plays or pageants. Here is a concrete
voal which we must reach as our small but vital part in the campaign.
In this, the college's fiftieth year, it seems appropriate to choose a sum
which amounts to one fiftieth of the grand total. Every possible means
must be used by all of us to raise this sum and it is only by a succession
of small contributions that the grand total can be reached. There is no
question, there must be no question, of its not being reached, for we,
who are here on campus, can see even more clearly than far-distant
Alumnae how pressing is the need for such improvements as_the Bel:
ence Building and the wing for the Library.
In 1925 the undergraduates raised $55,000 through the donations
of students and their parents and we should be able to acquire $20,000
even though conditions are not nearly so favorable. We are going to
raise the money by giving the proceeds from benefit performances, by
selling various and sundry things on campus, and by saving collectively
on such luxury items as desserts. But the. important thing is that, in
addition to our collective efforts to raise money, we must individually
assume the responsibility of raising $20,000, and if it means saving or
sacrificing on our part, we must regulate our expenditures so that we
ean give our share. In asking “sacrifice” we do not demand that we
deprive ourselves of the necessities of life and take to bread.and water
asceticism. But we might set our own hair, finesse the movies occasion-
ally, and go out less frequently to eat our spinach. We shall raise a
fair share of our.quota from outside contribution and by organized
attempts to get money from entertainments, but we shall not make
$20,000 at one fell swoop by the most ingenious plan designed by the
inind of the Bryn Mawr undergraduate. Every small contribution
counts, every small saving adds, and every co-operative move brings
closer the attainment of our quota.
Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life!
The latest news flash that comes through from Olympus reveals
that the Faculty are going to’give-a show this Spring. It is the latest
and best secret of the season, and such a good one that we are helping
the Faculty by spreading the tidings far and rapidly.
Stating our attitude conservatively, we should say a Faculty
Show is a Good Thing. But we object to two things in the scheme that
is now being hatched. One. We object to the species of mental cruelty
to which we are being subjected and the sense of thwart that we feel
when we know that secret sessions are in progress and we are locked
gut. Two. We wish to point out that the Faculty is throwing out the
backdoor all of the splendid opportunities for publicity. Undergrad-
uates can talk more loudly and more rapidly about the wonders of the
Faculty than any.half a dozen other people.
That is all we have to say, all we know and all we hope to know.
But we are progressive in spirit: we want to know more. At least, let
us ask questions and tell us some lies,

Miss Daphne Doolittle, 15-year-old
platinum blonde from Bryn Mawr, is
missing today, and at the same time
officials cannot trace the whereabouts
of Professor Jonathan Mandrake. Miss
Doolittle was a student in Dr, Man-
drake’s course in “Home Economics
and Preparation for Motherhood” and
when last seen by her roommate, Vida
(“Fatso”) De Puyster, was on her
way to have an interview about her
long paper with Professor Mandrake.
Students when interviewed advanc-

on the 6.38 of the Paoli local, while the
college was at dinner. The authori-

alternative.

lights have been installed in the gym-
nasium. “The long-expected tea-pan-
tries, with their little gas jets and
aluminum kettles and saucepan, have
at last taken the place of all chafing-

man class consists of 118 regular mem-
bers and four hearers and its average
age, is 18 years, 6 months.
Great. names appear in Tipyn O’
Bob’s pages. Theresa Helburn has
been elected, according to Athletic As-
sociation notes, captain of the 1908’s
class baseball team. A story of hers,
entitled Realization, appears in Feb-
ruary, 1905. It is a very romantic
tale, all about a gentleman who has
been influenced by the East, decidedly
for the worse. It ends on a pathetic
note: “Evelyn rose and passed her
hand across her eyes, quickly, as if
she were in pain. ‘I don’t love you,
Jack,’ she said simply.”
Margaret Emerson’ Bailey, on
Tipyn’s Editorial Board, makes quite
erature, including a very long and
very tragic tale called Great Posses-
sions. A lady named Katherine Hough-
ton is, according to Alumnae Notes,
engaged to a gentleman named Mr.
Hepburn. We are not quite sure about
her connection to Hollywood Kate, but
we would be willing te bet that there
is some link there.
Henry James came to Bryn Mawr
in 1905 no net on Balzac. His di-
gressions-from the subject were inter-
esting. He thought of life in Dickens,
he said, as always passing in the
morning or the early afternoon in a
long hall of many unwashed win-
dows; in George Eliot, when the shad-
ows are long; the trees rustle vaguely,
and the color of the day is inclined to
be yellow. In Balzac, the color is rich
and thick, sun and shade are mixed.
Bryn Mawr may have been emanci-
pated, but this was not true of all
other institutions. One young lady of
the class of 1907 was horrified to re-
ceive a catalogue of a ‘Ladies’ Col-
lege” situated near Baltimore which
offered to prepare the student for “the
duties of wife and mother.” Among
the courses offered. is the~following,
described at length: “A two-hour
cours¢’ in the lighter form of English
verse will be required of all Fresh-
men. As the female mind is often un-
able to comprehend the great. mani-
festations of genius and as the duties
of woman do not. render such com-
prehension necessary, this course may
be substituted for any part of the
course in Shakespeare. It consists of
one hour’s reading in class of selected
portions of the works of Lewis Car-
roll, Lear and. others, and one hour's

Mr. King Lectures
At Folger Library
Shakespeare’s. ~Art Disclosed
In Symphonic Blank Verse
of His Drama
EXTRACTS ARE RECITED
Mr. Samvel Arthur King,
known to Bryn Mawr College for his
work on past Big May Days and for
his lectures in English ‘Diction, was
honored recently by the invitation to
give two lecture recitals in the Folger
Shakespeare Library in Washington,
D.C. Mr. King was invited early last
October by the trustees of the library
to speak on some subject connected
with Shakesheare. As for the past
two years prominent names in the aca-
demic and dramatic world had been
suggested by the Trustees, but not se-
lected, Mr. King was extremely grati-
fied ‘at being chosen to be the first
outside lecturer to speak in the audi-
torium of the Library, and complied
with their request by his lecture on
Shakespeare, The. Artist in Sound.
The Folger Shakespeare Library
was opened on April 28, 1932, the an-
niversary of the birth of Shakespeare,
when Mr. King was one of the two
hundred and fifty specially invited
guests for the dedication of the Build-
ing.
Mr. King said,:in an interview to
the News: “When I was in Greece, my
attention was drawn to an article by
the eminent professor, George F.,
Whicher, in which Mr. Folget’s wishes
for the theatre were published: ‘That
it be made a centre for the cultivation
of the spoken language of Shakes-
peare as a thing of beauty and may
well
contribute in no small degree to re-
vive a sense of dramatic verse as a
music.
Anyone who has heard a performance
of French classical drama in France
will understand how much
speaking audiences have yet to learn
in this respect.’ The recollection of
Professor Whicher’s article played a
decided part in the selection of the ti-
tle of my lecture:recitals, Shakespeare,
The Artist in Sound.
“My audiences were recruited from
the lists prepared by Mr... and. Mrs.
Henry Clay Folger, of the Shakespear-
ean enthusiasts in America and filled
the beautiful: Elizabethan theatre to
capacity both evenings. The director
told me that he knew that many dis-
tinguished men from the legal, diplo-
matic and official circles were present.
“In the recital parts of my two eve-
nings I gave extracts from Midsum-
mer Night’s Dream, As You Like It,
Romeo and Juliet, Richard III, Henry
V, Henry VIII, Othello, Macbeth, and
Hamlet; and it was extremely inter-
esting to talk to men afterwards who
had known the great Edwin Booth and
men that knew critically the text of
my selections.
“My old friend the late William
Poel, once said, ‘We: used to talk and
write a little less about Shakespeare
and act him a little oftener.’” Mr.
King commented on this state ‘of af-
fairs. He said, ‘Shakespeare re-
quires a special training. Just as a
musician is trained in the technique
of music, so actors, readers, and pro-
ducers must be trained in the tech-
nique of blank verse. Of course, some
have defective ears and could never be
trained to read blank verse. Such
should not attempt to play -Shakes-
peare. Others have never been taught
but are capable of learning. With
noble equivalent to operatic
English:
adequate training the latter possess
the possibility of getting the musical
beauty of good Shakespearean verse
and at the same time producing the |
full dramatic effects.” :

Phild. C> C. Defeated
in Basketball 61-24
On Saturday morning, Bryn Mawr
defeated the Philadelphia Cricket
Club, 61-24,,in one of the better games
of the season. Although Philadelphia’
scored the first two points, Varsity
took an early lead and maintained: it
in spite of the fact that the guards
were the stronger part of the Cricket
Ctub team.
Faeth and Larned showea the same
excellencé-of passing and shooting as
in last week’s game, without the usual
letdown in the second half. The
guards held up their end of the floor
in their usual efficient manner, but
the centers, although doing some nice
passing between themselves, are still
weak at times in getting’ the ball to
the forwards, and at the present mo-
ment seem to be ‘the only weak spot
in a unit which works like clockwork.
The game was enlivened by the
quips and puffs of a rapidly tiring and
breathless Cricket Club team, many of
which were old hockey rivals, and with
five of Varsity.also on the hockey team
t’was a veritable reunion.

Panic Will be Produced
In New York Next Week
Panic, a modern tragedy in verse
‘by Archibald Macleish, is to be pre-
sented for the first ‘time on March
15 by the Phoenix Theatre at the Im-
perial Theatre in New York. The
play should prove especially interest-
ing to Bryn Mawr in view of the fact
that Mr. Macleish jis to lecture here
on May 1. Panic represents his first
venture in-the dramatic form and was
inspired by the bank crash of 1933.
It describes the frustration and de-
struction. of a.great man by forces he
can neither control nor understand.
Mr. Macleish became interested in
this subject when he was preparing a
series of articles for Fortune, dealing
with Wall Street. during the’ depres-
sion. The technical problem in verse
form which it presented also fascinat-
ed him. Panic is-the result of sixteen
months of experiment and labor.
As the social and economic forces
that destroy McGafferty, Macleish’s
hero, are analogous to the Greek con-
ception of fate, so are the crowds in
the street outside McGafferty’s office
analogous to Greek choruses. These
crowds neither dance nor sing; but by
their words and ‘vague amorphous
movement, they express moods which
form an undertone to the action going
on in the banker’s office. Macleish in
Panic is not writing capitalistic or
communistic propaganda. He is at-
tempting to describe both the contem-
porary revolutionist and the contem-
porary street crowd fairly and to give
voice to the emotional surges which
motivate both sides in their existing
conflict. He endeavors to give form
and shape to the underlying sense of
fatality which so deeply permeates
modern times.
Panic is made up of scenes alternat-
ing without intermission between Mc-
Gafferty’s office and the street outside.
It is written not in orthodox blank
verse form-ggyhich, “as a vehicle for
contemporary expression,” says Mac-
leish, “is pure anachronism,”’—but in
five beat and three beat lines, both
The
containing unlimited syllables.
five accent line is used by ba
lawyers and radicals; the thr
lines by voices in the crowg¢.
lines give the nervous, stacc
of modern speech.
Mr. Macleish’s tragedy is being per-
formed by a very capable cast, includ-
ing Orson Welles - (formerly with
Katherine Cornell) as McGafferty and
Zita Johnson as his mistress, Ione.
Many important actors and actresses
have volunteered to play anonymous |
parts in the chorus. .Martha Graham
is orchestrating the movement of the
choruses and production; lighting and
sound are all being handled by ex-
perts. There will be a minimum of
constructed scenery and a maximum
of lighting. Only one performance of
the play is scheduled, but there will
probably be a second one on Saturday,
March 16, if there is any demand for
it.

Limited in Forests
Continued from Page One
be found in nearly all the counties ex-
cept those in East Anglia. The limits
of the forest,were determined by rid-
ing thé bounds. The forests were un-
popular and there were frequent con-
flicts over the locations of boundaries.
By the thirteenth century the people
were definitely winning out the
struggle with the king to limit the
forests and to disafforest some of
them. What concessions the kings
made were always reluctant and often
were repudiated by successors.
The forest law protected both the
vert, or cover and food for the game,
and the venison, or beasts of the for-
est. The red, roe, and fallow deer,
the boar, and occasionally .the hare
were considered beasts of the forest.
Only the king or his specially licensed
friends could kill these animals in the
forest, but once outside the bounds
they could be killed by anyone.
The area within a royal forest often
included open glades,- plains, and even
cultivated lands, but all were under
the rule of the forest law. There
were very strict rules about grazing
and animals like sheep and goats were
not permitted to be in the forest at all,
as they were held to be annoying to
the game.
A hunt was a highly pe SS af-
fair, in which the guiding principle
was to drive the deer into a trap. Once
captured, the beast was prepared for
eating and certain parts were tradi-
tionally reserved for various forest of-
ficials. Even the dogs came in for
their share of the remains. An inter-
esting fact concerned with the dis-
posal of the deer was that putrid
parts were given to the poor and the
lepers.
There were special places in the for-
est which were set aside as grazing
lands for the king’s great stallions and
mares, and there was a heavy fine if
any ordinary horses found their way
into these select pastures. The king
d about one hundred fine horses
which he used for hunting and breed-
ing purposes. They were often nam-
ed for the places from which they.
came or for their color. In 1332 one
of the King’s agents went to Spain
and bought forty-nine new steeds for
the King at-a_cost_of over six_hundred
pounds. The great rolls of expenses
also reveal the large amounts spent
for hay and other feed, veterinary ex-
penses and wages of. those in charge
of the stablés.
Poachers were a great problem in
maintaining. the mediaeval forest and
if caught, were heavily fined. Minor
offenders were fined by a local forest
court held every forty days. Large
offenders were held over for the great
Forest Eyre, which was held at ir-
regular intervals. All the great land-
holders, all the forest officers and all
common people holding land in the
forest attended the sessions and had
to give testimony when needed. The
clergy were often to be found among
the offenders.
Common pasture and _ purpresture
rights go way back into pre-history.
Customs of this kind were found-all
over England, but inside the forest: the
restrictions were particularly great:
Great constitutional struggles arose in
the thirteenth entury as a result of
complaints about the use or abuse of
these rights. Land of this type was
to be found in the north in the fen
regions. These were great wild areas
often, below sea level, which were flood-
ed twice a day by, the backwash of
rivers. They made wonderful bird
refuges. Wild stretches of * grassy
plain were found in other places, which
were used in common by: several vil-
lages for grazing. Cattle were brand-
ed and allowed to roam freely at all
seasons of the year. The Weald was
a similar region in Surrey and Hamp-
shire and was widely used-for pastur-
ing swine.
The cutting of wood in the ‘forest
was strictly regulated and the big
timber could not be cut for any pur-
pose by commoners. As lordship grew
stronger and began to challenge the
king’s power this was one of the many
customs which were the causes of con-
flicts between the lords and the king.
in
der cultivation, played a prominent
part in the struggle. The great lords
had ‘land reclamation projects and
tenants on regular terms. Demesne
Assarting, which is bringing lands un- |.
the new land opened up was rented to ||
out and served to relieve some of the
economic pressure caused by the ex-
panding population.
‘France had shown the way in the
matter of assarting, for all through
the centuries from 1100 to 1400 great
blocks of the French forests were
carved off and cleared by men called
Hospitares. These men were often
the younger sons of peasants or ad-
venturous youths from the city. They
did not sett). on the newly opened
lands, but moved on to the next place
to be cleared. Great inducements were
offered to people to come: settle “the
new lands. Release from serfdom was
one of their many privileges. This
had a revolutionary effect on the
neighboring towns and estates, for
serfs were no longer content with
their lot and demanded equality and
the end of serfdom. Thus-we see how
the process of assarting linked up
with the breakddwn of the old mediae-
val system of land cultivation and
tenure.
In England a similar thing was
happening in the disfranchising move-
ment.. It was going on more slowly
there for a number of reasons. In the
first place the forests were of smaller
extent and therefore were less of a
problem. In the second place royal
justice and the justice of the lords’
courts was often very good and the
peasant was carefully protected in his
rights in many instances.

Mrs. Skinner’s ‘Letter
Continued from Page One
work had to be abandoned in most
courses after May Day because the
students felt that in no other way
could they catch up with the reading
and do the reviewing that would be
necessary for the examinations; and
time was also lost in the rehearsals
before May Day. There may be dif-
ference of opinion as to whether this
loss was due to “faults of organiza-
tion” as I implied that it was; but
what I had in mind was the fact that
the division of responsibility in direct-
ing the last May Day made it more
difficult to work out a_ systematic
schedule. We have been thinking in
terms of a single director for the next
May Day and a plan of organization
which would allow us to judge better
in advance exactly how much time
must be taken from college work. If
in making this plan it seems clear
that a full week must be lost, then
the obvious remedy would be to add a
week to the college year—a remedy
which is clearly impossible for the
year 1935.
The other point which Mrs. Skinner
misunderstood in my all too hasty ref-
erences was with regard to the direc-
tor. What I meant to say was that
in spite of the fact that there are sev-
eral people in the offing who are ad-
mirably fitted..to. be director of. May
Day, no one of ‘them seems to be avail-
able for the responsibility.at this mo-
ment. Of these I took it for granted
that Mrs. Collins was the least avail-
able. She has been working twelve
hours a day on the Million Dollar
Drive and has been responsible, as I
understand it, for practically all the
publicity up to date; in my opinion
she is absolutely indispensable for this
work, as well as in her regular duties
as Director of Publication. No one
could possibly doubt that Mrs. Collins
can produce a perfect May Day given
time and full co-operation from every-
body coneerned. I started my remarks
in Chapel by saying that we could
certainly give May Day if we aban-
doned all other serious work for the
rést of the semester and devoted our-
selves to it entirely. It is still my be-
lief that it would be practically im-
possible to do it on any other terms
although, of course, I may be mistak-
en. In any case it is delightful to
have ‘Mrs. Skinner’s tribute to the
1932 May Day from one who knows.

had been accepted in Philadelphia and
New York, at the important general]
exhibitions.
Although he sampled, briefly, the
methods of several masters in this
country and in Paris, he found that
he progressed more satisfactorily by
solving his own problems, discovering
his own means of expression. He is
still discovering, still trying new out-
lets, new methods; and when people
ask: “Why don’t you start painting
in oils?” he answers, “because I
haven’t yet got to the end of water-
color.” Some of his theories about
watercolor painting are brought to-
gether in his book, Making Water-
color Behave. A second book, con-
taining fourteen definite lessons in
watercolor, appears this spring, en-
titled Making The Brush Behave.
While Mr. O’Hara has _ become
known as a nomad painter, an experi-
menter in scene as well as in render-
ing, he has made his home for the last
four years in Washington, D. C. Next
summer he will open his School of
Watercolor Painting at Goose Rocks
Beach, Maine, for its fifth season. The
Invited Exhibition of watercolors from
all over the country, held each year in
his Watercolor Gallery, attracts thou-
sands of visitors.
The first American painter to take
a comprehensive painting trip through
Soviet Russia, in 1929, he is also. the
first to have spent nearly half a year
painting in South America, down one
coast to the tip of Magellan, and up
the other coast. He matched his visit
to Spain, the last of the European
countries where he worked, with a
voyage to Labrador, in order to con-
trast the warm southern glare with
the pale sunlight of the north.
His one-man shows have been writ-
ten up in Georgian, when Mr, O’Hara
was giving an exhibit in Tiflis; and
in Spanish, when the southernmost
port of Chile, Puerto Mont, gave him
an exhibition in 1933. From his second
exhibition in London the Mappin Art
Gallery, of Sheffield, England, bought
one of his watercolors for its perma-
nent collection. Besides invited exhi-
bitions in the Corcoran Gallery of Art
in Washington, the Speed Museum in
Louisville, the Columbus Gallery of
Art, the Dayton Art Institute, the
John Herron Insitute in Indianapolis,
the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh,
Mr. O’Hara was given a series of
“one-man shows” during the year
when the American Federation of Arts
circulated his Russian Series.
The “Bridge at Ronda” won the
Irving Brokaw Prize at the American

On Saturday morning, the second
team continued its good start with a
victory over the already worn-out
Philadelphia Cricket Club team, 25-6,
in a game consisting of two eight-min-
ute halves. On the whole, we were
glad to notice that a little more co-
operation was used in both the games
this week, not only by the forwards,
but also the centers. We would like
to see, however, a little better passing

Voice of Bryn Mawr
Editor of the Collége News:
It is too bad that readers of the
News must be discouraged from seeing
three, or any one of those three, very
good plays simply because the write-
ups of them in the last week’s News
were so very bad. I refer to Escape
Me Never, The Petrified Forest, and
The Distaff Side, especially to the lat-
tex two. %
What any reader wants to know is
what the play is about, with a brief
sketch of the plot, and a general criti-
cism of the acting and staging in-
volved. She wants it to be written in
a straightforward and easily under-
standable manner, so that she will
know exactly what she is getting in
for when she goes to see it. But your
reviewer tries with all her might to
write in true collegiate style which,
of course, implies that the criticism of
relatively unimportant details is over-
stressed and because of numerous
quirks. of speech; a false impression
of the whole is given. To introduce
The Petrified Forest by saying that
true, but simply that it is unduly em-
phasized, and isolated meaninglessly
from its subordinate place in the
whole. And instead of glibly saying
that Leslie Howard is the “center. of
attention because of his unfailing
charm,” I would refer you to a review
in the Literary Digest of not long ago:
“It has been held against Mr. Howard
that his especial trick in the theatre
was that of remaining virtually mo-
tionless while the others in his~eom-
panies acted themselves to _ pieces
around him. This, it has been said,
naturally focused attention and, of
course, approval, on him...It is true
that he is a master of understatement
in performance, that others do act
themselves to pieces around him, but
in The Petrified Forest he is forced
to the extremity of his talents by a
shrewdly chosen company. And when
the play ends, and he still is the su-
perior in aéting, it is further glowing |]
tribute to his powers.” While it is
not your purpose to review as. thor-
‘oughly as this in a “News from the
New York theatres” column, still it
might be wise to attribute some intel-
ligence to the cast of the play you are
recommending when they deserve as
much praise for it as this one does.
To say that “the sad end of Mr. How-
ard rather loses its effect’? because of
the excitement. and action around him,
shows a lack of appreciation of the
sensitive handling of irony. which
like to know what sort of acting it
is that the play calls for—why it ‘is
that Elizabeth Bergner “electrifies
and animates” the stage so complete-
ly. It would only take a few more
lines of space and would give the
reader. a more complete idea of the
play. 19
And lastly, did the person who
wrote the one-sentence summary of
The Distaff Side ever see the play?
Unless it has been radically changed
within the last few weeks, the daugh-
ter does. not “Break Away in the time-
honored manner of stage daughters,”
nor does she come ‘home “with the
baby in her arms and the blood-hounds
howling at her heels.” The figure of
speech, if such it is, is completely ir-
relevant to the point of the story. And
incidentally, the “woman controlling
her family” is not the Miss Murd-

Novel Must Entertain .
" Declares A. E.. Newton
Continued from Page One
and proved that novel-writing is one
art where women may excel'as well as
men, for she brought to a fine degree
of ‘perfection the best qualities of the
English novel: wit, humor and deline-
ation of human nature.
_ .The novel can be written in many
forms.. The story may be told by let-
ters, as in Pamela, in the first person
singular, as in Jane Eyre and Lorna
Doone, or by the straight narrative
found in most novels. The. methods
for beginning. novels are just as num-
erous; although-the usual ways are de-
scription of character, as that of Far-
mer Oaks in Far From the Madding
Crowd, or. of a situation as in Uncle
Tom’s Cabin.
The possible variety of ‘characters
is as great as the number of people
in the world, although the author can
give them either fully rounded or com-
paratively flat delineations. Many of
Dickens’s characters are flat and sta-
tionary, like Mrs. Micawber and Betsy
Trotwood. Among novels which em-
phasize plot and suspense Wilkie Col:
lins’ Moonstone is a superb example.
Trollope, however, considered it unfair
to conceal the dénouement from the
reader, and he reveals in the middle
of the trial of Phineas Finn that he is
‘”“ to be acquitted. To sustain interest in
’ such cases demands the greatest pow-
ers-of a true artist.
Novels have been written on every
conceivable subject and in every field
from history to industry and art, but
no matter what the subject, there must
be women in the story to make a per-
fect novel. Among love stories Mr.
Newton prefers Trollope’s Dr. Thorne
because of the happy ending that he
‘feels is a requisite for any novel that
is to fulfill its purpose of pleasant en-
tertainment.. Among‘the more recent
women novelists he favors Mary
Webb, whose Precious Bane should be
read by everyone, and Sheila Kaye-
Smith, whose Joanna Godden is a re-
markably robust work’ for a woman
to have written.
Before reading his paper Mr. New-
ton explained that his collecting ex-
perience has showed him one réason
why Victorian novels were so extreme-
ly long, and modern novels are so sim-
ple in comparison, The circulating
libraries in England demanded a
lengthy format of three pasteboard-
bound ‘volumes well printed on nice
paper to sell at’ a standard price.
These were Gentlemen’s books to be
bound in leather as the individual pre-
ferred. The other way in which nov-
els of this period could appear was in
twenty serials, the last two usually
printed double. Thus an author, re-
gardless of the limitations of his sub-
ject, had to fill the required number
of pages,to meet the requirements of
the booksellers.

constantly so that there will be a com-
plete record of the work, and when
any mosaic is completely uncovered a
careful tracing is made of it.on linen
with each piece or glass shown. Mr.
Whittemore hopes that students in col-
leges will use these tracings.
Mosaics are made of small pieces
of colored glass set in plaster. First
a rendering coat of plaster is laid on
the wall, and this is covered with wet
plaster, on which a sketch is made
just before the pieces of glass were

set. in-place. In the figure. paintings
the lines of glass forming the back-
grounds were set at some distance
apart with each piece at an angle,
while in the figure or design itself the |;
pieces were set in a plane with much
smaller spaces between the rows of
glass. They are all set with an eye
to the effect of the light on the trans-
lucent glass, as seen from the pave-
ment of the church more than forty
feet below the vaulting walls in which
the mosaics were set. No two of the
great mosaic crosses set in the walls
are:alike, for with each there is the
variation of each individual artist.
The coloring of the mosiacs is amaz-
ingly beautiful, especially when seen
from the floor, where the full effects
of the perfect use of light in this
architecture is\revealed. The flesh of
the human figujres was set in pieces of
delicately colored marble with the
shadows in ‘gkeen, because pink flesh
always casts a green shadow. In one
of the great figure compositions two
emperors offer gifts to an enthroned
madonna, Justinian presenting the
ehurch and Constantine the city. The
emperors are in their full imperial
robes of purple and the ornaments: on
their heads are. composed of emeralds
and pearls. Greens and blues are of-
ten contrasted with reds and gold in
the costumes and designs to heighten
the rich and glowing color effects.
The excellent portraiture in these
mosaics reveals the effects of the res-
toration of the ikons, while the beard-
less emperors in this and another
great figure mosaic show how accurate
were then archaeological studies, since
these emperors were beardless in con-
trast to the universal black beards
worn by the contemporary Byzantines.
All this work is anonymous, as is
usual in Byzantine art, for the em-
peror gave the orders and his artists
carried them out without seeking for
personal glory. As-art these. mosaics
are more like compilations in the as-
sortment of figures and medallions of
each mosaic rather an deliberate
compositions, and tits, too, is in keep-

Lady Macbeth’s feelings were distort-
ed and exaggerated, but in every per-
son there is the embryonic seed of
such an emotion. The expression of
these varied inner emotional reactions

duces flexible, tolerant minds. Of the

Side by side with this infinitely com-
passionate attitude which acting ex-

actor must work, he must develop a
consciousness. of. the fact that he is
controlling his characterization—that
he is. acting as the understanding God,
Idoking down on the being He is cre-
ating. In.the Greek plays, this qual-
ity is definitely present. You can
never come from a Greek play without
having an infinite pity for the crea-
tures in the world. A Greek drama
shatters your entire inner being; it
tears you apart with emotion; in them
the purging is complete and magnifi-
cent.

time to do work of this sort; there are
wonderful opportunities for a new and
significant interpretation. In doing a

French Students Strike
Against Foreign Rights
Spreading from the University of
Paris, a nationwide student strike has
been called in an attempt to bar for-
eigners from-the benefits of equal
privileges in professional study
groups. This evidence of growing Na-
tionalism in French universities was
particularly directed against foreign
medical students who were prevented
from attending classes by well-organ-
ized pickets.
The chief demand of the student
strikers is that foreign practitioners
of the medical and allied professions
should be prohibited’ from setting
themselves up in France, The _ pro-
testing Americans insist that they
have no intention of practicing in
France, but they demand their rights
as students. “We refuse to be scape-
goats of the French students’ discon-
tent,” they declared.
