Pearl Buck Lectures’
on Humor of Chinese



Chinese Are Mature Race;
Nothing Human That
, They Do Not, Know



LITERATURE OF COMEDY



The famous authoress of The Good
“Farth and Sons, Mrs. Pearl S. Buck,
lectured in Goodhart on April 19, on

the “Chinese Sense of. Humor.” Hav-
ing lived so long among the Chinese,
Mrs. Buck has grown to have a deep
appreciation: of them. She wishes
‘that there might be more of an ex-
change of ideas between China and
the West; and that, as the best of the
‘Chinese students come to America to
study, we would send the best of our
students to Chinese universities to
— study the literature, the philosophy,
and something of the life of the
Orient. ‘

China, Mrs. Buck said, is not so
well-known or so well-liked as Japan;
for China, differing in her essential
nature from Japan, makes no effort
to have people like her. In Japan
one travels in comfort and meets with
a welcome everywhere, partly because
the Oriental feels instinctively ‘that
every forigner has money to spend,
but partly through sheér courtesy. In
China, if one has friends, they show
one every courtesy, but the tourist
simply does not exist for them; they
are too absorbed in their own life to
stop to regard him. The West thinks
of China in terms of its lower classes,
ignorant, dirty, sordid, simply be-
cause the West never meets with the
more intelligent people.» One can
travel from one end of China to the
other and never see the intellectual
life that is going on there.

- Japan has a self-discipline and a.

self-control unequalled by any other
country; and an artistic sense of
beauty in her houses, in her gardens,
wnd-in-her landseapes;- but her-sense
of humor is that of a child playing
practical jokes. China has a more
devil-may-care philosophy; she has
an eternal twinkle in her eye, and an
infallible readiness to appreciate a
joke. A hostile mob can be won into
friendliness by a witty phrase. China

Princeton Beats Varsity
in Well-Fought Match



rx In a post-season game played for
: No benefit of the Scholarship Fund,
rinceton towered over the Varsity
basketball team by at least two feet
and by the score of 43-28.

The game began with girls’ rules
and, although Princeton started - off
with a rush, Bryn Mawr led at the
quarter. In the second quarter, Var-
sity had a good charice to pile up a
comfortable lead in preparation for
the second half, which was to be
played with boys’ rules, but inaccur-
acy lost many points and Princeton
led by. two points at the’ half. Al-
though Bridgman proved to be an

ing obstacle in their path,
fy samt easily walked away with
the second half, Upson leading the
offense and scoring twelve points,

The game as a-whole was fast,
with plenty of excitement and the
basso profundo shouts are still ring-
ing in our ears. We ‘hope that a
Princeton-Bryn Mawr game will be-
come a post-season custom.

The line-up was as follows:

COACHING COMMENDED



(Especially Contributed by Mrs.
Elizabeth Norton Potter)
“Dear Lord Darlington, how thor-
oughly depraved you’ are!” Surely
the Duchess’ words epitomize the

spirit of the age which Oscar Wilde;

revelled in representing, the spirit
of those naughty, naughty nineties

when one delighted in being tremen-|

dously wicked. There have been many
in recent years, who have pointed to|
the present as another dreadfully
wicked era, and, with this in mind,
was perhaps less astonishing than
might have been expected to discover

Lord Darlington amid black oil cloth;

and chromium plate and to find Lady
Agatha dressed by Schiaparelli. The.

Varsity Players, doubtless, had rea-!

sons of their own for setting Lady
Windermere’s Fan in the twentieth
century; and, although one may have
thought,’ a little regretfully, of the
limitless opportunities for Victorian
extravagances offered by this play,
which dates—if any play ever dated
—in the time of furbelows, one must
admit if the play had to be modern-!
ized, it could not have been done}
more charmingly. The settings were '
extremely effective, the one for the.
second act being especially skillful; |
and the costumes were admirably |
matched although the obviousness)
of contrasting Mrs. Erlynne’s. scar-|
let dress with the black’ and white, |
set of the third act was unnecessar- |
ily crude. |

Perhaps another factor that made}!
one aware of the great difference be- |
tween the world of today and that of |
Oscar Wilde was the impersonation |
of the male characters.~ In our own |
day, only Saki has tried to eeepente
something of the studied wit of those}
clever gentlemen so ready with their:
epigrams and caustic comments. That
kind of suavity is not apparent to- |
day, and it was not apparent on Sat- |
urday- evening. Perhaps it. was an!
unfamiliarity with the spirit of the
time, perhaps it was a slight unfami-
liarity with some of.the lines of the
play that robbed the gentlemen. of
the cast of the quality which the
Duchess admired in Darlington, “the
charming, wicked creature.” At any
rate there was an earnestness about

mirable, but hardly in\ character.

! was a winner of the Nobel Prize for
| his work in the measurement of the
clectr@n, when he spoke in Goodhart
Hall, April 20, on ‘Probing ‘the Nuc-
leus of the Atom.” The economic field
‘is alt “fringe,” for example, but if
one looks at the sweep and growth
of physics, it is easy to see the devel-
opment, from the day of Galileo to
modern times, of established facts,
not theories.

For three hundred years up to 1900
physicists worked on the field of large
scale phenomena, confirming earlier
| assumptions by accurate experiments.

They realized that new discoveries
could not be made until the old laws
which are of universal application
_had_ been made sound. In 1900 they
progressed into a new vein, that of
small scale phenomena, which in turn
quickly spread into the field of atomic
structure in about 19138.
in the last few years that scientists
have begun to get inside the nucleu’s

in the nature of speculation, but
what new knowledge there is has
come from an investigation of radi-
ation, which is Professor Millikan’s
own special. field.



i A new form of radiation has been
found to exist,—cosmic rays, which
| do not,come from the earth, from in-
| side the earth, nor from the sur-
rounding atmosphere, but rather from
outside this atmosphere. Radio-act-
ive waves” which are .of terrestrial
| nature and are shooting through a
| person at_all times have been known
since 1910. These cosmic rays, how-
ever, have a. far greater degree of
ionization than even the gamma rays
thrown off by radium, and.are much
harder, possessing a greater pene-
trating power. .A self-recording elec-
troscope sent up ninety-three hun-
| dreds of the way to the top of the
atmosphere was found to have dis-
‘charged one hundred times more
quickly there than on the earth, and
that the rate of discharge increased

‘Courses for Next Year
Discussed in Chapel



There will be a number of new
courses in the academic schedule for
next year which Mrs. Manning an-
nounced last Thursday in chapel.
Mrs. Clara Marburg Kirk, who is
coming to Bryn Mawr from Vassar,
will give a course in the Modern Nov-
el of the 19th and 20th centuries.
This will replace Dr, Chew’s course
Mrs. Kirk
will also have charge of Freshman
English. Miss Meigs will give a
course in Short Story Writing and
will continue Experimental Writing.
Miss Latham’s’ Playwriting, which
has been accepted so enthusiastically
this year, will also be continued for
1933-34. Mrs. King has found that
the young poets of Bryn Mawr are
too modest for a course which is as
entirely creative as Versification has
been. She will therefore replace it
by a study of Modern Poetry, in
which writing will not be necessary,
but will be encouraged. Dr, Herben
will direct the course in First Year
English Literature. 7

The Anna Shaw Lectureship will
bring a very interesting group to Bryn
Mawr next year. The six weeks’
series of lectures . will be divided
among three important speakers.

Mr, Warburg Lectures
on Travels in Persia



In the Music Room,: Monday after-

‘noon, Mr. Edward- Warburg gave a

talk on his. trip to Persia with Pro-
fessor Arthur Pope'to photograph Is-
lamic architecture, and devoted a few
minutes to remarks on_ Russia.
Mr...Warburg and Professor . Pope
traveled into Persia by way of Rus-
sia, and, because of numerous delays
caused by custom officials and faulty
methods of shipping cars and equip-
ment, spent’ several weeks there.
Few people in Russia know what
all America and the rest of the out-
side world are saying about them, and
those few are located in the large
cities.’ “The youth of Russia, espe-
cially, know nothing but Russia.”
They have grown up with the pres-
ent system and can imagine nothing
else. The older generation jumped
on the band-wagon, as it were, and
are hanging on without conviction.
All the construction work is being
done by the young men of twenty-

| five years. of. age.

Education there is, for and by the
young: people. Organizations similar
to. the American Boy and Girl Scouts
carry on a course of training parallel
to that of the schools. The children
are divided into groups roughly clas-
sified by age, and’one passes from
one rank to the next by means of
examinations. The highest rank is
that of the Communist party. Every
one learns_by—himself_to ber ame to
pass on to the next rank, and there
is “a tremendous urge: to master
everything possible.” This sort of
community existence takes the place
of family life, which has been com-
pletely broken up. The higher up in
rank a man -rises, the more responsi-
bility he is given, and the more se-
vere are the penalties inflicted if he
does wrong.

Students are given free tickets to
the theatre, to the movies and to art
galleries, all of which are considered
an important part of their education.
The pictures shown at the movies arg
not propaganda films, but treat the

problems of the day in an exciting,

realisti€ way. “Everything in Rus-
sia is on demand, they. want to get
ahead, although their only reward
lies in public opinion, in rising in
the estimation of their fellows.”
Moreover, they are not trying to sell
their idea to other nations, but are
merely trying to work out a satis-
factory solution of their problem.
Their spirit may easily lead the way
to progress, even if their present
form’ of communism is unsuccessful.
“In Russia, as in Palestine, some-
thing is happening.”

In Persia Mr. Warburg and Pro-
fessor Pope encountered many and
varied difficulties in travelling. Their
car was in poor condition, and did
not make motoring very pleasant
through this high but arid country.
Trees are extremely rare in Persia,
as are rocks; there being only. low
bushes and endless expanses of sand.
The topography of the country seems
to consist of a series of mountain
ranges, which slope gently downward
toward rivers, the undulating slope of
the water-shed extending often fifty
miles. The people are absolutely pov-

Miracle Plays Revive |
Spirit of Middle Ages



Barber, Eckstein, Thompson
Direct; Show Ingenuity
in Staging



PARTS: ARE WELL TAKEN



(Especially Contributed by Miss
Enid Glen)

Many people on the campus are

| agreed that the production of a medi-

eval play at least once every year,
at ‘Christmas or at Easter, should
become a Bryn Mawr tradition; the
performance of the Second Shep-
herd’s Play at Christmas three or
four years ago set a fine precedent,
and the Chester Deluge given on the
Green on Sunday was almost as
great a success. It is the kind of
play the students do best—they : fall
easily and completely into the spirit
of it; they reproduce excellently its
mixture of reverence and *boisterous-
ness; and it was clear from yester-
day’s performance what scope it gives
for ingenuity not only in setting and
in costume, but also in the fine points
of. production.
Miss Barber and Miss Eckstein de-
serve high praise. Artistic perception
and care and a great deal of solid
hard work produced the easy and sat-
isfying effects of the grouping, the
colors and the designs of the cos-
tumes. The choice of cast, too, was
very good. God spoke with a mighty
and clearly-heard voice, with proper
dignity, at the end with pleasing
benevolence. His two attendants,
whom he consulted at times, not too _
obviously, looked properly angelic
against the clear sky. . Noah’s part
is not an easy one; on him depends
the sustaining of the reverence in the
play. Miss Stone’s sense of humor
threatened ‘near the beginning to
overcome her, but throughout the
rest of ‘the play ~.she acted admir- |
ably, with the proper patriarchal be-
nevolence, especially good in her: re-
ccption of the animals as they were
brought in to the Ark, in the sending
off of the dove and raven, and in her
ushering about of the family. Noah’s
wife, too, had the right spirit, as
she had the right shape—from her
daring leap from the Ark scaffold to
her struggles on her return to it~

Mrs. Pearl Buck Grants

: News Special Interview



“T have’ lived in China most of my
life and have known more Chinese
than people of my own race,” said
Mrs. Pearl S. Buck, in explaining
her unequalled knowledge of Chinese
psychology and life. s “My _ best
friends, and most of my friends, are
Chinese; the houses I have lived in
have been Chinese homes. During my
childhood, my father was a mission-
ary in the interior of China, and
there I grew up and learned the lan-
guage as well as my own.”

Mrs. Buck then went on to talk of
her plans and projected publications.
The trilogy of which The Good Earth
and Sons are the first two books will
soon be completed by a third. ‘The
Good Earth was the background for
the trilogy; Sons told the tale of the
Warlord, who has been an integral
part of Chinese history, as the dic-
tator-general has been in western civ-
ilization; the last book, which is still
nameless, will be concerned with
Modern China, the Young China of
the last fifty years. Before this
comes out, another book, not connect-
ed with the trilogy in any-way, will
be published’ under the title of The
Mother.

For the last five or six years, Mrs.
Buck has been working on the trans-
lation of a Chinese novel, called: Shui
Hu, which was written five hundred
years ago. The book is in the presses
now and will appedr next summer
under .the title of All Men Are
Brothers. Shui Hu is a foundation
novel in Chinese literature, a Robin
Hood type of story, dealing with the
adventures of an outlaw band. _ Re-

Let There be Lig ht

That.which the majority of those answering the Vews curriculum
questionnaire “desired in college which they felt they had no oppor:
tunity to get” was a thorough-going knowledge of modern literature
and literary tendencies. They pointed out that, of all hterary per-
iods, the one in which we live is given the least attention in the present
schedule. There are no couyses in modern drama, poetry, or the novel,
and one leaves college état ignorant of writers of our century, ex-
cept for the cursory glance flung in their direction in Freshman Eng-
lish. It is true that the present years are lean ones, indeed, when
compared to those of Elizabeth, or to those in which Pope, Dryden and
Swift wrote, but we must live in them, and to do so with any degree
of pleasure and ease requires a certain sound basis for judgment and
understanding. We do not intend to. advocate less emphasis on the
literature of past centuries, for a knowledge of it is-a prerequisite of
culture, and it is a field which few of us would ever éxplore on our
own initiative, however disgraceful an admission that may be. _ In the
numerous courses, the history of literature is traced carefully and
critically up to about the mid-nineteenth century, but there all activity
What goes on in the world of modern literature and
what is likely to go on in the future is left completely to one’s imagina-
tion.

It may be argued that we will explore for ourselves the bookshelves

of the last seventy-five years, and that we read modern novels and

attend modern plays under our own power. That is true, but only to

a certain extent, and the objects of our attention are not always thef

The knowledge of contemporary literature pos-
sessed by most of us is gleaned vicariously from the theatre, loan
libraries and theoceasional book we like well enough to buy. We are
too busy and too preoccupied to oraganize our minds about what is
going on around us, and the result is that we read hopefully and realize
regretfully that we are only floundering about in an uncharted sea.
We need a background on which*to-base our criticism and understand-
ing, and background is extremely difficult to acquire alone. ‘Affeetation
is the usual result of lone and unguided attempts.

best—of their kind.

The purpose of a college education is toprovide a working cul-
tural background which may act as a foundation for our own personal
tastes, and as a guide-post for criticism and understanding. We are
given just such a fundamental knowledge of literature up to a certain
point, but beyond that we must venture on alone. Whatever may be
the state of modern literature, we are too untrained to criticise, and
too uninitiated to enjoy those good things that occasionally appear.
3ecause we are baffled by much “of the modern, we purify_our tastes by
and books by novelists whom we accept as intel-
ligible, if foolish. And when @onfronted by a truly modern novel, as
in Freshman English, we seream with terror, and declare that
world must be full of madmen to understand such a literary conund-
rum. The latter part of Freshman English mystifies, instead of en-
lightening us. There are those of us who would, welcome an opportun-
ity to learn from trained mind& just what modern literaturg is all
about, and it does not seem too much to ask that some courses in mod-

Meredith defines the Comic Spirit
as something which is neither youth-

appreciate laughter. The Comic
Spirit smiles,
since laughter is often foolish; it is
this spirit which “gives proportion to
the elements of life.”. China is age-
old, the “maturest of races;—as a
race there is nothing human that they
do not know.” The smile’ of Buddha,

Helen Hayes’ portrayal of Angela

and delicately, giving the character
a spiritual quality that takes an in-

at all from her ethereal beauty. Play-

between romanticism and_ realism.
The setting, the acting, and the lines
are romantic, but in the moderniza-
tion of the novel and of the more re-
cently produced play, a modern real-
istic spirit has been introduced that
shatters the illusion of romance. We
are willing to sanction a battle be-
tween love and duty, and even the
triumph of the latter,—probably we
are even more likely to condone such
a struggle since the duty in question
has the emotional appeal of religion.

plot is largely dependent upon coinci-

no criticism to make of the influence

vital importance, we are unconvinced
by Angela’s reasoning with Giovan-

T.S. Eliot to: Lecture |
Here on Modern Poetry;



Leader of Symbolist Movement
is Also Known Critic
and Essayist



IS STUDENT OF ° PAST



Mr. T. S. Eliot will speak in Good-
hart Hall Friday evening on “Mod-
ern Poetry,” accompanying *the lec-,
ture with illustrative reading. The
lecture, given. in memory of Ann
Elizabeth Sheble, will be an import-
ant event for Bryn Mawr, since Mr.
Eliot is one of the leading modern
poets.

T. S. Eliot,’"M.A., editor of the
Criterion, director of Faber and Fab-
er, Ltd., and the present holder of
*the Charles Eliot Norton Profesor-’
ship of Poetry at. Harvard Univer-
sity, was born at St. Louis, Missouri,
in the year 1888. His father was
of New England stock; he was, in
.fact, related to the late Charles W.
Eliot, president of Harvard Univer-
sity. It is perhaps on account. of
this family connection that Mr.
Eliot--went—to.Harvard. University
as a young man. In 1909 he received
his A.B. degree from Harvard and
in 1910 his M.A. He completed his
studies at the Sorbonne and at Mer-
ton College, Oxford. After a short
eareer as a bank cleri#*in London,
he became a teacher. His literary
talents were soon recognized. He was
made assistant editor of the Egoist
and was one of the founders of the
Criterion. In 1927 he became a Brit-
ish citizen, and, within recent years,
a member of the Anglo-Catholic
Church.

His first poems were printed in
1917 under the title of Prufrock and
Other Observations:—a book which
contains the Love Song of J. Alfred
Prufrock, written, incidentally, at
Harvard. In 1920 appeared Mr.
Eliot’s first critical work, The Sacred
Wood. “T. S. Eliot did not, however,
really come into the public eye until
he published, in 1922, The Waste

Land, perhaps the most discussed of |,

modern poems.

The Waste Land established Mr.
Eliot as one of the leaders of the
Symbolist movement in England. He
held his place in a circle that in-
cluded such names as H.) D. and Ezra
Pound — who, indeed, influenced
Eliot’s poetry. Ash Wednesday, his
second great poem, did not appear
until 1930.

The years between were occupied
by a variety of work, mostly critical.
Mr. Eliot declared himself a follower
of Donne and wrote of his admira-
tion of Dryden and of the great
preacher, Launcelot -.Andrewes,
Donne’s contemporary and rival. He
might be said to have, in some de-
gree, popularized the seventeenth cen-
tury. He also made a profound study
of the Elizabethan era in literature,
paying especial] attention to the
Senecan influence on the literature of
this period and to the plays of
Shakespeare.

His latest publication is rr Select-
*- ed Essays (1982), which include his
representative essays from the year
1917 on. He has been called the
greatest English critic since the war
and is said to have influenced liter-
ary opinion more profoundly than
any other writer during. recent years.

His experiments in the field of
poetry have been many. Sweeney
Agonistes, containing the fragment

of a prologue, and the fragment of
an agon, might be cited as an ex-

ample.
‘| devotion to the name, Sweeney.
In general, his poetry is remark-|

comprehend. It is filled with liter-|
ary allusions; with sentences © and.
words culled from every and all sorts
of literary works. Language, itself,
is no bar to Mr. Eliot. He quotes
in several different tongues and
writes fluently in French.

His own definition of’.a poet sums
up his views better than ‘any criti-
cism. ‘The historical sense compels
a man to write not merely with his
own generation in his bones, but with
a feeling that the whole of the lit-
erature of Europe from Hemer and
within it the whole of the literature
of his own country has a_simultane-
ous existence and composes a simul-
taneous order. . . Impressions
and experiences which are important
for the man may take no place in
the poetry and those which become
important in the poetry may play
quite a negligible part in the man,
the personality, The busi-
ness of the poet is not to find new
emotigns, but to ‘uSe the ordinary
ones, and, in working them up into
poetry, to express feelings which are
not in actual emotions at all.”

Jane Addams is to be here for the

lectures on Monday night. There will
be an open conference each Tuesday
afternoon and a conference for ad-
vanced students on Thursday. Mrs.
Slade will speak on Soviet Russia and
China and on Political Relations dur-
ing the next tw8-week period Miss
Dean will complete the series of lec-
tures and conferences. Special ar-
rangements will be made for Eco-

so that they will be able to take ad-
vantage of all these lectures. and
correlate their work with them.

and her defiance of Noah.

It was pleasant to see again mem-
bers of Bottom’s crew among the chil-
dren of Noah. Of this family, Shem;
is especially to be commended for the
naively stern voice she suddenly de-
veloped in summoning the wife, and,
Japhet for her sturdiness, and one |





| performance, it was far more appre-

the performance was the righteous
horror of the wives, their shutting |

of the gossips. |

“The gossips were careful not to be- |
come too riotous, though the tempta- |
tion was great, and might have mar-
red the play; when their moment
came they took: it with zest. Here
again there were good details — the
lame gossip, and the gossip’s dog. ©

The issuing .of the flood from the |
silver ewers of the angels was an|
unauthentic but very successful de
tail; the live animals must be men-
tioned, especially a perfect goose,
and Miss Monroe’s beautifully made
dove and raven, with the ingenious
device by which they left the Ark,
and returnéd to it. The tumbling,
and dancing on the Green to the fid-|
dler’s music, furnished a fine pre-|
lude to the play.

But the spirit of the whole, made
by care in detail and the great en-
joyment of the actors,. was the best
thing about the production; the audi-
ence helped by its attention and eén-
thusiasm. The’ students should con-
sider seriously the establishing of the |

Medieval religious plays should ba
given in the open air. For a suc-
cessful performance two things are
necessary, an appropriate setting and
a sunny day. No setting could be
more nearly ideal than the Cloisters |
for the presentation of a liturgical |
play; so that the une¢ertainty of April
weather may have to be blamed for
the absence of Easter plays among
the Bryn Mawr traditions.

Holy Week is rich in dramatic as-|
seciations; the story of the three Ma-
ries visiting the empty sepulchre is
told in narrative form by Matthew, |
Mark, and Luke. The germ of li-|
turgical drama may be found in a
short. dialogue between the angels
and the Maries -added to the liturgy
of Easter by some ninth century
monk, as an introduction to the
introit.

It is from such an addition to the
text of the liturgy, technically known







as a trope, that real drama arose,
when the priests, in order to}
strengthen the faith of the illiterate!
crowds, began to give them a visual

sonating the characters of the Maries
and of the angels. Other characters
were soon added.

So far as we know, the Sepulchrum
is the earliest medieval religious play
and may be considéred ag the first
modern drama. The choice was
therefore interesting.

According to Miss Thompson, who
| directed the representation, the aim
was to give a pageant‘rather than a
play. One cannot comment on the in-
dividual characters which, true to the
spirit of liturgical plays, were sub-
ordinate to the general effect, each
contributing its part. The scenery
and costumes were as simple and
sober ds possible and the result was a
unity of impression and a very strong
sense of beauty, dignity, and rever-

easy margin of four bouts, Hayes and
Manship coming through unbeaten.

For the division championship,
fenced off April 11, in the Shipley
Gymnasium, four teams_ entered,

from Shipley itself, from the Sword
Club of Philadelphia, from Bryn
Mawr, and a composite team, which
included Hayes from Bryn Mawr. In
the first round, Douglas, Coxe, and
Gateson, for Bryn Mawr, defeated
Williams, Nicoll, and Webb, for Ship-
ley. Douglas won all three of her
bouts in fine form, with only four
touches against her. Coxe and Gate-
son each won two, making a total of
seven bouts won as against two lost,
for the. college team.

.Jy- the’ finals, Bryn Mawr met the
Sword Club fencers, Mrs. Knight,
Brill, and Lane. Here they were fac-
ed with older and much more experi-
enced opponents — for Mrs. Knight
has been four years senior district
champion, and was last year a mem-
ber of the Olympic squad, while Brill
ranked fourth in the Junior Na-
tionals. Douglas’ form was not so
good as at first, and she lost all her
bouts, although successful in placing
three touches on Mrs. Knight and
three on Brill. Coxe lost to Mrs.
Knight and: to Brill, but defeated
Lane, 5-3. Gateson came out best
for college, winning against Mrs.

losing to Brill, in the -last and most
exciting contest of the evening, by
the narrow margin of the final touch.
Altogether Bryn Mawr lost to the
Sword Club, by three bouts to six,
Brill having won all her bouts, Mrs.
Knight, two, and Lane, one.

up to the height of half a mile, due
to terrestrial rays, but when it con-
tinued to discharge, they realized
that there were unknown rays which
must be acting upon it. When the
rate kept increasing up to five miles,
they ‘were forced to conclude that
the strange new rays came from out-
side the atmosphere. They tested the
possibility that the rays might come
from within the earth by sinking an
electroscope in a lake, the water of
which had been tested -for radio-
active substances, and found that the
discharge continued to the depth of
about seventy-five feet, but no fur-
ther. This experiment also proved
how much energy these rays possess,
if they can penerate such enormous
thicknesses of water.

If the rays come from outside the
atmosphere, however, exactly what is
their origin? The first answer of-
fered was that they originated in the
sun, but as they seemed to act with
equal efficiency at night as in the
daytime, this hypothesis’ was’ dis-
carded. The second theory was that
they came from the Milky Way, but
this also was soon disproved in a:
similar manner. Professor Millikan
considers it a very significant fact
that “the rays do not come from any
place where matter is in abundance:
and, that they seem to be rays act-
ing in inter-stellar space which are
capable of affecting us to a great ex-
tent without our knowledge. Events
happening outside of our galaxy are
producing influences’ in the form of
cosmic rays and can be observed
here.” A theory known as the “an-
nihilation process,” which provides
for the disappearance of mass _ into
radiation, has been advanced to ex-
plain their origin, but it is a strange

It was in measuring the energy of
these-rays that new light was thrown

blasted the atom to pieces, but in the
process succeeded in knocking out
not only negative, but also positive,
particles. Instruments were devised

heart of the atom, they threw out
great showers of positive particles,
‘as many as fourteen at one time.

These results forced. physicists to
conclude that there must be a small-

they had thought before, and that
positive electrons exist. “This is an
idea which is revolutionary and com-

upon the theory of the structure of

physicists have to solve in the next
few years is how these light positive
particles get over into the heavier
form, the proton, which has_ been
known so long, and considered the
very basis upon which matter rested.

Students Speak for Reform

As. part of the educational pro-
gram sponsored by the Pennsylvania
Labor Standards Committee, Bryn
Mawr graduates and undergraduates
have delivered nearly- forty speeches
before various Philadelphia organi-
zations. The committee is an out-
growth of the conference on Stand-
ards and Security of Employment
held here in February and _ unites
the efforts of all State liberal and
labor associations in an effort to se-
eure progressive social legislation
from Harrisburg. .

Dr. Kingsbury is chairman: of the
committee; Dr. Fairchild is chairman
‘of the Steering Committee, and Mrs.
Collins, of the Publicity Committee.
Whenever the committee receives an
invitation for a speaker, the request
is filled at a’ moment’s notice by one
of a dozen Bryn Mawr students,
headed -by Ada Stoflet. The group
call themselves the Minute Men and
together with a group of industrial
workers, give five-minute speeches
showing the- necessity of reform.

answers,..though hws" ig chy -veer=

government in their own very cap-|
able hands: In. spite of civil war,
foreign incursions, and catastrophes
of nature, they have made great
progress. Motor roads in China are
being increased at a rapid rate, and
modern improvements introduced.”

“Although China is not a mission-
ary nation and will never impose her
culture on foreign peoples, her. tra-
ditions are strong enough so that ane!

Lantern Does Not Reflect True
Ability of Students; Is

~ Too Superficial |
aeeacale |

AIMS

EDITOR STATES

Sena |
(Especiatle ontribued By
Miss Koller)

In reviewing .an issue of a maga-
zine, we ask two questions: What
do we expect of this particular mag- | *
azine? and, How welt docs this issue |
measure up to that standard? Where |
shall we find a better standard than |
that set up by the editor of the!
Lantern in the December editorial? |

“In the last. analysis, we . concede |
that a+ magazine. should appeal)
through its contents. One|
of the two reasons for the existence |
of a college literary publication is,
as one might say, to reflect the
thought of.a highly specialized group
of people — in this case the Bryn,
Mawr student. The other is to de-|
note the literary ability of the indi-
viduals in the group. A college mag-
azine, ‘ therefore, provides an oppor-
tunity for those who wish to test
their skill, and can benefit the con-
tributor as well as the reader.”

Does the April Lantern appeal
through its contents? Ifthe readers
of this magazine are satisfied with
clever stories and w sical essays,
amusing skits and harming adver-
tisements, then the issue must make
a definite appeal. Work of this type
always has its charm and its place,
but a literary publication should not
depend on this type of material for
its popularity. The college subscrib-
ers will welcome just as heartily hon-

conviction~and--enthusiasm. — It. is a.

Just how far does this issue of the}

| ly specialized group of people?

Con-
tinuing the idea of the previous para,
graph, we might say that this par-
ticular issue seems to reflect.ap%y” one
aspect of” Cok Ee thitking, and that
a clever, - pleasing, but superficial |
one. Do the Bryn Mawr studentg
think only the prescribed thoughts
and follow: only‘the old forms of some
lof, the contemporary magazines? In,
line with other critics of the Lantern, |
we feel the need for expression of |
the genuine emotion, the real vision,
and the mental curiosity which must |
characterize the thinking of a highly |
specialized -group. “There is much)
ability on the Bryn Mawr campus,
which the Lantern Board might do
well to seek out.- Great danger ex-|
ists in relying too heavily.on a small |
group of contributors, capable - as
If the Lan-
tern is to reflect the thoughts of the
students, it should strive to be rep-
resentative of the thinking student
body, and it should not be content
with the. one aspect which dominates
the material in the April number.

To return to the. editorial: -
other (aim) is to denote the literary
ability of individuals in this group.”
This ‘issue does not give a fair ex-
pression of the literary ability of the
contributors. All of them cap-
able of much better work and it is to
be hoped that they will continue: to
experiment and to strive for better
results.

it is regrettable that the author did

would reward cultivation. ‘The meta-

Varsity Dramatics

Modesnizes Wilde

(Continued from Page One)

“The most difficult of ‘these parts
is certainly that of Windermere. Con-
vincingly to sustain an attitude of
injured righteousne:s during four
acts is no easy task, and to.do so
«successfully requires, both skill and
considerable dramatic experience. If
Mr. Gibson’s sincere efforts were not
often convincing, he cannot be. judg-
ed too severely. The part of. Lord
Darlington is less exciting, and one
is less inclined to be sympathetic with
Mr. Trexler’s colorless imperséna-
tion. The actors did best in the third
scene, where Mr. Dubois, as Dumby,
contributed a nice piece of acting,
and Mr. Kienbusch, as Cecil Gra-
ham, tried very hard for an air of
bored sophistication. Certainly L
Augustus should have given an in-
centive. From his first entrance to
the final curtain, Mr. Warburg gave
as amuging an interpretation of the
‘fussy old gentleman as could be ask-
ed for. Whether he fluttered ‘over
Mrs. Erlynne’s bouquet or blustered
over “beating about the confound-
ed bush,” he was unfailingly enter-
taining, and the ease of his stage
presence was a joy to the beholder.

The Duchess, with her most Bos-
tonian hat, was not a whit less amus-
ing than her voluble brother. Miss

The rapidity with which she
picked up her cues and -the variation
in tempo which’ she gave 'to her lines
were excellent. The frequent ab-
sence of these qualities in the char-
acters opposite whom ‘she played
made her perfermance the more cred-
itable.

Probably the most enviable part in
the play is that of Mrs..Erlynne. It
is the kind of part which, at some
time, most of us have secretly de-
sired to play. Miss Bruere was fully
alive to its possibilities. Hers was,
in every way, by far the most finish-
ed performance of the evening. She
handled her gestures, as well as her
lines, with consummate skill. Such
bits of acting as that in her conver-
sation with Windermere in the last
act would be a credit to any actress.

might have had a larger part, in

If the praise has been almost en-

cast, it is because the superiority of
their acting seemed unquestionable.
That they had a great advantage
over the less-rehearsed mén must be
remembered. It brings up the old
question, if the scheme of combining
actors who can rehearse together so
little is an advantageous one. All
things considered, much pleasure was
