Hoist Black Sail '
Varsity Crushed By Superior
Swarthmore Basketball
Champions,
Varsity was played to’a standstill by
‘the champion Swarthmore team in the
last game of the season.
There can: be
no crying over this spilt milk. In defeat
the team was far better than in its vari-
ous preceding victories: On Saturday ~it
was. .a team, a fighting, co-ordinated
team: Up till the last quarter we gave
the champions an even battle. Then we
cracked—and the final score was 51-28.
Everybody on our team played splen-
didly up to the unfortunate final let-
down., Loines and Humphries were both
well in tune with the basket and with
each other, Poe and Baer played a fast
inference: game, and .by their clever:
use of back passes to. the forwards and
guards, made the” center position of
strategic importance to the team. Free-
man and Blanchard put up consistently
strenuous defense work and their Nnter-
ceptions were at times almost miracu-
lous. Let us hand out laurel wreaths’
with the utmost impartiality and gener;
osity..of spirit. They are all “deserved.
And the last quarter was merely unfor-
tunate and-unmentionable. Our earlier
games, more or less soft and slow, had
not fitted us to keep-to-a high pitch of
- fighting efficiency for the full — -of
a fast: game.
The Swarthmore team looked’ like a
champion from the start. Their team-
work, their goal-shooting, jwent as
smoothly as well-oiled-clockwork. The
play of their captain was the high-light
of: the game: once under the basket she
‘was absolutely infallible. The line-up

tour on one geographical area or one
phase of culture. The student of

Vociferous crowds thronging to the.

of broken ‘records and consequent high

catch-up in the last lap of the relay was
the high-light of the meet for the spec-

Mr. Mukerji made ‘several other in-

Hindus and the Jews exploit the “gullible
Christians” with their desire for “soul
searching” by psychoanalysis and other
devices. Mr. Mukerji mentioned the fact
that the’ prescription of colors suited to

fashion.
On the subject of Miss Mayo, Mr.
Mukerji was more or less reticent. ‘ He
did say that Mother India was so broad
that it made it easy to refute; that if
Miss Mayo had been more restrained, in
for instance her use of “all” for “some,”
she would have made a better case. “Miss
Mayo has roused India so: thordughly

May Day is-no more than five

winter has just begun. After dull

have begun howling and the snow

spring clothes with a feeling of close
anticipation, Two sriowstorms with-
in a week is a record for the whole
winter, and. sadly belies the un-
certain appearance of a few feeble
snowdrops. Has something gone

PROGRESSIVE HIGHER
EDUCATION
The clamor for education being
what it is today, and the struggle
between the progiessive preparatory
schools and the more conservative
colleges’ continuing to rage hot and
more or less furious, it is af first];
‘importance to note the rapidly ma-
terializing plans for a new women’s
college. Bennington, Vt., is to be
the home ofthis instituion, and it
is hoped that it-will be open for
educational business in 1929 or
1930. The prime factor in its in-|
erest is its, extremely progressive
and seemingly very sensible attittrde
towards the intellectual * requite-
ments of the modern woman.
varying degrees into the question of
preparing their students for after
life. However, to quote our’ Dr.
Rogers, “One can with difficulty
graft new curricula on. old institu-
tions.” :
The prime object of Bennington
will be “education in and through
the-conscious creation of a com-
munity. rather than the* mere or-
ganization’-of courses of instruc-
tion.” There is to be no standard
curri¢éulum, and, as we understandt
it, no-required courses ; the entrance
requirements are to be based upon
personal ability along special lines,
rather than upon the more or less
generalized* subjects of the College
Board .examinations.: The gradu-}:
ates are to be prepared to lead the
double life. of: homemaker and_ of
part (or _ whole) time business
women. “It will emphasize fimda-
mental. psychological training, and
try to meet the problem of the girl’s!
emotional adjustments as well as her
intellectual ones.” :
‘Fhe faculty -are to be.chosen as
much for their ability to secure the
confidence and the friendship of the},
undergraduates as for their ‘scholas-
tic experience. In return for this
kind of double professorial duty: the
faculty of the new college. is to en-
joy some. very distinct advantages.
Among these is to be a nursery
school for faculty babies:
salaries are to be very generous, and
it is hoped that: the college will be
self-supporting:
Altogether, we feel.that this edit-
cational experiment will be of dis-
tinct aid to the older colleges, as
well as to the preparatory schools.
It will be a kind of experimental
laboratory for the former, and a
possible solution to the college en-
trance requirements demanded from
the latter. The éxtrémely progres;
sive step of doing away with all
required subjects, and making a
conscious effort to develop the indi-
viduality of the student, can, in our
opinion, have nothing but an. ex-
tremely valuable; and a very far-
reaching (effect.
NEW LAMPS FOR. OLD
Does the Lamp of True Learning
still burn undimmed? That is .the
question. We have come here, mal-
leable young souls, with the glint of
that lamp reflected in our eager eyes.
The ideal of scholarship, skimmer-
.ing through the haze of. the ages,
has been constantly before us. Since
the dawn of-civilization the absent-
minded professor has stood as the
symbol of this’ scholarly ideal. A
proud and hoary tradition ‘this, rec-
ognized and honored by all. Coming
here we were made to conform to
stiff and rigid rules, safeguards of
absentmindedness. “You shall—-not

The enthusiasm of the past seems
to have dampened. Ten, five, and
even three years ago there appeared
in- the minds of all college students:
the banner of ‘‘college spirit.” Grad-
ually this emblem of loyalty slid
down until it waved at half mast.
Now it has slipped into a crumpled

To the Editor of the Cottece-News:
I should like, through, the courtesy of
the Coiiece News, to express. the, grate-
ful feeling of the Class of ’97 for the un-
tiring and generous activity of Mr. ‘Henry
S. Brooks in connection with the installa-
tion of the organ.- When the organ was
so generously offered .to the college by.
Clara Vail Brooks, ’97, and accepted by
President Park for the college, there was:
a possible $3000 in sight to meet the ex-
penses-ox*the installation, the total.cost of -
which-.as--you may. remember, was: $8000.
Arrangements for financing the under-
‘taking were taken over by Mr. Brooks,
for the college was so. heavily involved
with Goodhart Hall that. it could not
then advance the money.
only undertook this responsibility but also
the.-very. exactifig and-difficult. task of
raising and collecting the money. Con-
stant letters had to be written, difficult
decisions made, and through it’ all Mr,
Brooks’ patience, sense of humor and
generous attitude, never varied. He
wanted nothing to mar “the serenity. of
the gift” which’*he so, much wanted the
college to. have and to enjoy. It is
with a deep sense of gratitude and
recognition of. his ,devoted interest in
Bryn Mawr that we of ’97 tender him
this. humble acknowledgment.
Sincerely yours,
Frances A, HANp,

thoi ~ eee Ss:
The two 5 leans which have appeared
in the-last two-numbers of the NEws on
subject of required chapel have
prompted me, as a member of the-C, A.
Board, to express’ one or two of my views
on the subject. ‘ .
In the first place, the “fact that roa A.
has not kept its promise as to the: num-
ber of “musical services” it would hold
is not entirely the fault’ of the Committee
on Religious Meetings.. The organ room
af Goodhart was not ready for use dur-
4 the first semester and the atmosphere —
- Taylor was overwhelmingly . dis-—
ows what musical talent we
could ‘produce. . Now that the organ is
available there seems to be numberless
objectors to our long-cherished plans.
The war lords of the niusic depart-
to
‘metit. seem determined to thwart us at
every move. They give in on minor.
points only and with great reluctance.
Our organist is under contract .to play
elsewhere on Sunday evening, so that
unless the time of the service is change
there can be no organ music. We are
not allowed an outside organist. _Doubt-
less*some regular arrangement --will be
made for next year which wilf include
the morning chapel services’ too; but in
the meantime WG, find ourselves in much
the same position that we were in last
year and that other C. A. boards have
been in for at least eight years back. .
My suggestion ‘for. next. year is that
the board plan to have only two speakers
a semester besides the traditional Christ-
mas and Baccalaureate speakers. On all
the rest of the Sundays musical services
should be held and led by various mem- _
bers of the undergraduate body. _
I think it would be a. very good idea
‘to swing to the opposite extreme from
this year and have too few preachers
"|come to the college than to continue to
struggle along under a slight modifica-
tion of the present arrangement.
I ‘think that required chapel would be
out of the question, . not. only because_ it
is entirely against the policy of the
Christian Association and of the college,
but also because it would merely smother
the difficulty temporarily. ,
Sincerely yours,
A MEMBER OF THE C. A. Boarp.

fierce loyalty for much that is =v in

and mild-mannered ‘vicar, overturns that
edifice of faith on almost the last page
with a blow as shattering as it is un-
expected. 4 He tells the stoty of a mighty
‘civilized and ‘the natural elements in
man. The little English village of Wold-
ing hears the call of Pan, the voice of
primitive . nature,
ing from man the dues of kinship; the
vicar alone, in the name of affection,
of habit, of Christianity, stands out,
agaiftst this unseen power, while all his
flock return to the ancient rites; and it
is the vicar on whom all our sympathy is
relentlessly centered. Learning, sanity
and common sense ‘fail him, and yet he
holds to what he knows to be the truth—
up to the moment of his last, incompre-
hensible surrender. That he should be
defeated by a force older and it may be
deeper than his own, is perhaps ingvitable:
But that he should go back on all that)
he has stood for, to join in pagan wor-
ship with his parishioners, is a going
over to the enemy that cannot be for-

something “like a sneer, has~ found~an
iliusion. But we, with” poor Perkin, have
lost ours, and have nowhere to turn.
Could we take it as a fairy tale, for its
charm and its ‘mystery, we could read
and be’ delighted; and so we did, till the
treacherous defection of the vicar spoiled
the pleasant taste of what had gone be-
fore, and at the same time made us
realize the intensity of our interest. That
interest betrayed, our enthusiasm was
dead, The-last chapter describes with all

“Birches slipped every year trom the’
edges of woods and began to grow, at

Then a few years went by, and there they
were, standing at the end of a field with
2 silvery light on their leaves enchanting
the green, and holding that part of the

counterpart of the return of the jungle

itual.life. We must build with security,
otherwise the temple of society will fall.
The rock on-which we must: build is the
New Testament. It deals with man’s
relationship to himself; his fellows, and
his God;. it points out a. way, and its
principles are nowhere more clearly de-
fined than in the Sermon on the, Mount.
We Are Spiritually Primitive.
In the past, however, men have paid
little attention ‘to this cee because
thev say.it is not practical. The savages
of the New Hebridies chew sugar-cane
for water, and ridiculed the idea of dig-
ging wells. Water,/they say, comes
down. from the sky,/never up from the
earth. \We are neatly as primitive, spir-
itually. \Yet Mr./George Bernard Shaw,
cynical, &eptical, and rebellious as he
is, said in\ thé preface to one of his
plays: “Dear/Reader, I am no more af
a Christian /than you; but after. sixty
years of contemplation I see nd way out
of trouble but that way which /Jesus
would have pointéd out-if He had un-|
dertaken the work of a practical states-
man.” Mr. Dwight \Arndld- during his
mission to Mexico won thé trust and
good ‘will of a proud and sénsitive people
because he said; “If. have taken
wrongly, I> restore,” ahd so kept the
peace in: the spirit of the Gospels.
Our thodern life Js governed by. the
dea. of individual ‘tights, as capital and
labor, society. and -the criminals - ‘these
rights are always in conflict. . We need
laws to establish them, and justice to
enforce them. The New ‘Testament,
howevet, 2niphasizes common rights, the
rights which lie at the foundation of
human society. Jesus realized this, and
in the july case where He was ‘asked
to. decide a question of individual rights,
He /said: ‘Beware of covetousness.”
Thyte was a higher right than property
-involved—that of fellowship and broth-
erhood. It-was the common interest op-
posed to the individual, going the second
mile; forgiving—to-seventy times seven.
“This is the meaning of the, Sermon
on the Mount—the statement of the
principle of common rights. It is not
a set of rules or a code of conduct,
a dramatization of the principles of so-
ciety.” ‘Jesus gave expression to the
ideals of older heroes and leaders. We
fgrd several examples of this in the Old
Testament. 4
Forebearance Is Extolled.
Abraham and Lot lived in Canaan,
but the land was too small to contain
the growing flocks of each. Abraham,
the more priviledged and the more. pow-
erful, said to Lot: “Let there be no
strife ’twix thee and me, for we are
brethren.” He gave Lot the choice of
any lands he desired for his flocks, and
said he would take what remained¥ Lot
chose the well-watered Jordan Valley,
leaving Abraham the dry plains. Yet
we remember Abrahani for his good-
ness.
“Again, Isaac went to a strange coun-
try and dug a well. The inhabitants
claimed it. Isaac dug another, and they
claimed that too. For Christ’s sake he
would not dispute, so went away and
dug a_third which he named Rehoboth,
or ‘Room enough for all’ That night
God appeared to him and blessed him for
his forbearance.’ The principles of Jesus
were applied to life before He came; we
should learn. to live them, for they are
as sure as a/rock.”

for lay scholars in that subject, and the
opportunity to use a training in theology
is no longer limited to preaching or being
a minister’s wife.

Immigration Quota Is
Distressing to Colleges
The difficulty caused by the immigta-
tion law in the obtaining of foreign in-
structors was the subject Of “Presiucaf
Park’s talk in chapel on Monday. The
quota is so low that it is impossible to
bring teachers over here within it. Ac-
cording to the present ruling any foreign |
instructor. may come over here who has
taught in a.European school or college
for the two years immediately preceding.
But there are ‘many students who have
1 just graduated and have not yet. taught
anywhere, and many more who have done
the required teaching, but not in the last
two years. Thus the law has excluded
' many able young scholars, such as those
| brought over by the Rockefeller Founda-
tion, and particularly scientists. They are
allowed to come, -but they must return
within. the. year.

Those whose interests center in Eng-
lish history and literature ‘will choose];
Tour, I, the British Isles. For. not only
will there be cities such as Londen, Ox-
ford, Stratford-on-Avon, as well as free
time rambling in some rural district, but
choice spots in Wales; Ireland and .Scot-
land will be included as well as a few"
days. in Holfand.
sFrance and Switzerland is the title of
Tour II and those who have dreamed of
Paris and French culture will enjoy this
trip which embraces many -phases of
French life and thought in such widely
scattered cities as Brussels, Berne’ and
Biarritz. A similar service is done ‘for
the German student. In Tour III he may
trace the Teutonic in England, Holland,
‘Vienna and Germany proper, with just a
dash of France at the end for contrast.
>On the Scandinavian tour, the lover of
mountain scenery’ and naive countryside
will find endless delight in Norway and
Sweden, as in later weeks in Copenhagen,
Berlin, Geneva and Paris he will take
pleasure in more sophisticated life. Two
other of. the less visited regions of
Europe are embraced in Tours V and VI,
The Baltic and The Balkans, with. their
fascinating and-_mysterious cities.’ Social,
political and. economic conditions in these
new-old countries should prove -most in-
seen independent birth or some other pro-
found political change, since the war.
Unusual scope for study of interna-
tional politics will be found in Tour VII,
with its well-considered “itinerary; includ-
ing London, Prague, Budapest, Belgrade,
Geneva and Paris. And what may pfove
most popular of all is the tour of- the
Latin countries in which the devoted art

traditional Forsyte England, of which
Wintersmoon—the country house of ‘the
Pooles—is symbolical, to a new England
concéived: by artists, idealists and chronic
iconoclasts. ‘
Rosalind Grandison was: just such a
She was beautiful—like a
Circe or a lovely_enchantress—if we may
trust to the picture of her that Walpole
has so skilfully. drawn. Always flinging
out her long white arms and making
statements, she
created the impression of living i in a_con-
tinal pose. But the; author has been
exceedingly fair to this typical product
of a new age, and we can sense depth
beneath her sugar-coating ‘of superficial-
ity. ; :
Of a certainty, she was not as pro-
found a person as her sister Janet; but
then there was nothing typical about
Janet, and. so it is impossible to identify
her with either the past or the present,
She was understanding®. yet misunder-
stood by. both Rosalind and her.own hus-
band Wildherne—the two to whom she
gave her love. Rosalind, as we have said,
was a little hard;-and Wildherne too_ac-
customed: to encountering, life with a
woolen muffler wrapped about his, face
from chin to eyebrows.
But Janet, moved by the strength of
“a woman who grips for love where there
is only a tiny semblance .of it, gradually
tore away this muffler. Under. her gen-
tle touch, an awakened Wildherne
emerged. - Rosalind was. left - “on

: “To help rid. the world of shams,
of hypocrisy, and entality—above
all, of the past, the rotten, clogging, ham-
pering past. Po. buildsa

_Janet pondéred long over this. defini-
tion of the aim of Rosalind’s sort. At
length ‘one day as she ait Wildherne
stood together: watching tia Sut. Sane

what seems to~be Walpole’s forecast of
the future: “Tsn’t this beautiful? _ And
there’ is Wintersmoon waiting for us.

we and our world are going to create
new beauty from—if we can. There'll
be a struggle, and I. suppose that neither

Curricular Freedom.
Revision of. the curriculum to permit

have been abolished,
two years of work separated, and re-
quirements reduced in number. “Gate-
way” courses in the freshman
sophomore years will introduce the stu- |.
dent to college, and thereafter he will
be freé to select his own subjects. The
only demand is. for thirty-six hours of |,
concentrated study. The “gateway”
courses will be liberal and varied. Par-
ticular emphasis is being placed on the
junior and senjor years. After caring
for the demanded thirty-six hours, the
. student may browse as he pleases, or he |’
may limit his work to one: field. Pro-
visions will be made for granting the
exceptional student research facilities if
he is able to carry. his work beyond the
limits of courses offered. Similarly, by
arrangement with department heads,
study may be done outside of class-
rooms and with no direct reference to
courses.—New Student.

Second Team Also Fails
When It Meets Swarthmore
A saore almost as lopsided as thatfof
the first Varsity. contest on Saturday ‘was
the outcome of the réally much more lop- |
sided ‘game. which was played next. ‘Bryn
| Mawr’s second Varsity was defeated by
Swarthmore’s. second team, 34-18. The
score in this case, though it was nearly
all made’ in the last half, was a pretty
fair indication of the relative strength of
the two teams. Swarthmore’s aggrega-
tion of tnremarkable players,. working
together without much friction, con-
quered a team which, although it had its
high spots, appeared confused and ineffi-
}cient. The forwards bunched; so did the
centers; -and the guards, who were. the
team’s best feature, delivered the bal
only to have it sent back marked “faulty
address,” : o%
‘The first half, hSwever, was fairly close.
Huddleston’s guarding kept the score}
low, atid Boyd’s shooting kept it even.
The'half ended’ 10:13. °
Inthe thitd quarter, second Vaisity
achieved only one basket,“while the op-
penénts made but.three. The . fourth
period was the most cataclysmic, due
largely to the efforts of a new Swarth-
more forward,’ But our own forwards
would have scored more heavily, had
they less rarely come within range. Boyd,
who made all but four of Bryn Mawr’s
eighteen points, has as good an eye for
the basket as anyone in college, but falls
down on passing and teamwork,
‘The fact that the second game was
an anti-climax made it the more depress-
ing. From the spectator’s point of views
and one would imagine from the player’st
also, the second team game, when played |}
last, isa sad.Jet down. To reverse the
order would keep the audience from
straying, and the cheering from dwind-
ling, as it now does,
The line-up of the game was:
Bryn Mawr—Boyd, ’29; Bruere, ’28;
Thompson, ’31; Totten, ’31; Huddleston,
’28; (Capt.) Martin, ’30.. Subs—Swan,

only for students who are going to study
History of Art- but for everyone. This
study is in my opinion rather of: more
importance for education, life and cul-

I won't go ‘beyond this: statement. Its:

But. coming batk te Art practice in
connection with History of Art, I should
like to add°that many of our best men
over there in Germany and Austria be-|-

“historical scholars but in personal touch
with art as the most important“and de-

-Medea-Read in Goodhart
Miss Eleanor Lemaitre, of Baldwin
School,
Medea, under the auspices of the English

Hart Hall. Miss LeMaitre was dressed.-in
the costume of. Meites: the barbarian, and
before. reading the drama she gave ler
audience a brief %ketch of her character.
Medea, she said, was,not a Greek. In
reading the tragedy one should keep this
in mind and try to interpret her char-
&
acter fairly. .She was from a. strange
land, married to .the foreigner, Jason.
She was proud: of her Own country, and
afraid of hostile laughter. It was for
this reason that~she- was continually on
her ‘guard, and inclined to be antagonis-
tic to her husband’ s- people.
Miss Lemaitre read a-translation of
Gilbert Murray’s, and did 50.
ent characters with*keen insight. Her
rendering of the choruses was particu-
larly heautiful. Miss Lerhaitre held. the
attention of her audience closely through-
out the entire reading, and those who
heard her were most fortunate in hearing
Greek tragedy so well interpreted.
