ENJOYMENT OF ACTING
IS_ BASIS OF SUCCESS



To give a sincere performance is a
work of merit. To give a felicitous

and humorous perfdrmance without

the conscious stage tricks of the pro-
fessional actor or the over-trained
and underdeveloped amateur is the
work of actors who enjoy life on the
stage as much as they do off the stage.
This enjoyment of acting was the
basis of the college maids’ and porters’
performance of Booth Tarkington’s
Clarence. The play was not only well-
chosen and acted, but excellently di-
rected by Huldah Cheek, ’38. The
comic spirit has rarely smiled so
benevolently and naturally on Good-
hart stage. Nor did its smile de-
crease; rather it grew broader and
provoked the kind of hearty laughter
which was directly in keeping with
the ease of the play.

Humorous portrayals of characters |

in natural but often overwrought fam-
ily relations often provide the flavor
of Tarkington’s comedies, In _ this
particular play, the group is centered
around the mysterious’ Clarence, of
whom no one knows anything, but who
has the imaginative capacity to tell
convincing fish stories and the ability
to drive a mule without swearing.
Whittaker’s performance as Clarence,
together with his other talents, might
recommend him for a part in Porgy
and Bess’ (but we do not wish to put
any ideas into his head). He was ex-
cellently cast and gave a humorous
and/charming performance from his
first appearance as an unemployed
soldier who sagged to one side because
his liver, to the final disclosure of his
identity as Dr. Smith, the famous
coleopter or beetle specialist. Every-
one in the Wheeler household suc-
cumbed to Clarence’s army experience
and noncommittal ability to befriend
everyone, until he succeeded in car-
rying off Miss Pinney, the governess
with whom all the male members of
the play were in love. Miss Pinney
was the only truly unrattled person
in the play

Hilda, as Cora Wheeler, was a
typical spoiled brat, the nuisance of
her pretty governess, susceptible to
anything in pants, but still a quib-
bler and a tattle-tale. Her perform-
ance was exquisitely pert and fluttery;
she was weeping one minute, laugh-
ing or dancing about in a _ scatter-
brained fashion the next, and always
wondering what was happening. She
portrayed a real, unartificial ingenue

A. J. B. Wace to Discuss
Ancient Ivory Trade

The. speaker next Sunday afternoon
at the Deanery will be Mr. A. J. B.
Wace, Professor of Archaeology at
Cambridge University, England. For
many years Mr. Wace was Assistant
Director of the British School of
Archaeology at Athens, where he
gained a great reputation for his work
on the chronology of the Mycenean
age. In his excavations he sought
for‘ and found information supple-
menting the work done by Heinrich
Schliemann at Mycenae.

Several years ago Mr. Wace lec-
tured on his findings in America, and
attracted a great deal of attention.
During his years in Greece he became



interested in modern Greek textiles, :
and became such an authority on the:

subject that, when he left Athens, he
was offered the position of curator of
textiles in the Victoria and Albert
Museum in London. The position he
now holds as Professor of Archaeol-
ogy at Cambridge is one of the most
important accessible to an. English
archaeologist.

The subject of Mr. Wace’s talk next
Sunday will be The Ancient Ivory

Trade.

| Group Speakers Discuss

Regulation of Industry



Common Room, March 11.—At the
last supper held by the Industrial
Group Miss Fairchild and Mr. Ander-
son discfissed the problem of regula-
tion of industry, with special refer-
ence to the New Deal. Both agreed
that some sort of government regula-
tion was necessary to ensure the
equitable distribution of reduced
profits and to impose uniform condi-
tions on all industries and trades.
They felt that the New Deal failed
to do these things, although they ap-
proved of some of its measures, such
as the refinancing of mortgages,
building and repair loans and labor
union provisions. Mr. Anderson par-
ticularly emphasized the fact that in
a depression ““‘the number of apples
to go around,” is smaller and it is
necessary to reduce interest rates, as
well as wages, in order to stimulate
industry and to have a reasonably
fair and even reduction of profits.

Miss Fairchild opened the discus-
sion by describing some of the social
effects of the New Deal. In 1932 pay-
rolls were down to forty-six per cent
of what is considered the normal (the
average of the years 1923-1925), and
were forty per cent less than in 1929.
Employment was also down to sixty
per cent of the normal. The New Deal
tried to increase purchasing power
by raising wages with its minimum
wage provisions, and to end unem-
ployment by maximum hour regula-

Willert Thinks War
In Europe Unlikely
England Holds Balance in Crisis

Caused by Breakdown of
Security System







LEAGUE SUPPORT VITAL



The Deanery, March 25.—Britain
holds the key to the problem of peace
or war in Europe today, in the opinion
of Sir Arthur Willert, K. B. E., Head

of Publicity in the British Foreign

Office until April, 1985, now Washing-

ton correspondent for the London
Times, and author of What Next in
Europe? The present crisis is built
upon fear and discontent and it lies
within England’s power through her
participation in the League of Nations
to combat these two trouble-breeding
elements.

The real problem behind the threat
of war is how to make Europe feel
safe. The answer lies in the proper
participation of England in the police
system of the League of,Nations. Eu-
rope has given up expecting America
to take part because of her own diffi-
culties in her own hemisphere. If
Britain, however, can play a leading
part in organizing security, war may
be successfully . avoided. Captain
Anthony Eden, Foreign Minister and
one hundred per cent League man,
is doing his best to draw England into
the collective security system. Eng-
land realizes the likelihood of war and
the. impossibility of neutrality. That

| she feels that the League is the best

way to prevent war was shown by the
Peace Ballot of Lord Cecil in May,
1935, in which an overwhelming num-
ber of votes were in favor of strong
participation in the League.

All the troubles of Europe are due
to the breakdown of the security sys-
tem. The system provides that the
League shall function like the sheriff
of a frontier posse, calling on any
country for aid in emergencies. The
fact that America in 1919 refused to
join altogether and Britain took a
compromise position has made the
League ineffective in doing police duty
and maintaining security. At present
France, Russia and the Little Entente
oppose Germany, while England and
the United States stand aloof and
Asiatic and African races hover in the
background. War is not likely to come
in the immediate future if the present
crisis is surmounted, as Sir Arthur
feels it will be.

In trying to avoid war the back-
ground of the European crisis must

“Tenor and Vihicle” Rhetoric
Is Applicable to Philosophy
of Life



METAPHOR IS VARIABLE



Goodhart, March 16.—Mr. Richards
concluded his series of lectures on the
Interpretation of Prose with a con-
tinuation -of his discussion of meta-
phor and with a final proof of the
relation of rhetoric to a philosophy
of life.- He distinguished certain types
of metaphor and demonstrated the

existence.

Metaphors must be
according to whether they are based
on a direct resemblance of one thing
to another—that of the tenor to the
vehicle—or whether they are connect-
ed by a common attitude which is an
attribute of each. For example, we
may connect two things metaphoric-
ally because we happen to like them

intrinsic resemblance. This resemb-
lance may be called the ‘

be hardly perceivable and leads to the
false assumption that if we cannot see
how the metaphor works, it is thereby
proven unworkable.

A particular word is not confined to
one metaphorical meaning, but may
be metaphorical in different ways, and
may even be metaphorical and literal
simultaneously. A metaphor may in-
clude a tenor and a vehicle which are
in one sense indistinguishable, in
which case the expression is literal;
on the other hand, there may be meta-
phorical interpretation of a word or
phrase as well. A simple illustration
of this theory is the use of the word
“leg.” If connected with “table” and
with “horse,” it. will appear that “leg”
is metaphorical in the first instance
since it has not all of the character-
istics of the second. If wé apply “leg”
to the appendages of a starfish, it is
difficult to tell whether we are being’
metaphorical or literal, and similarly |
we scarcely know in what category to
place a “wooden leg.” The latter is
actually an example of the simultane- |
ity of the literal and the metaphorical.
The purely literal is very rare in any-
thing but a specialized scientific dis-
course; the majority of ordinary sen-
tences turn out to be metaphorical.

A metaphor necessarily involves
comparison, but may be approached
from several different angles. The
eighteenth century rhetoricians,* as!
represented by Dr. Johnson, confined
themselves, according to their beliefs,
to metaphors which called attention
to resemblances between two objects.
Modern theory is diametrically op-
posed to this principle; the super-
realists, whose leader in France today
is M. André Breton, attempt to seize
upon two objects as remote from each
other as possible and bring them to-
gether in a striking manner, holding
that this is the highest task to which
poetry can aspire... Both extremes
have grave disadvantages. Actually
metaphors are as™dependent on the
dissimilarities of their “component
parts as upon their resemblances, but
the super-realists mistake the strain

Miss Park Discusses

Summ
Ait Ee, ;

Music eis March 17.—‘More
than money is involved in undergradu-
ate contributions to the Bryn Mawr
Summer School,” said Miss Park in
chapel this morning. “Such contribu-
tions show that we are attempting to
meet one‘of the most dangerous, com-
plicated and pressing problems of the
day—the part that workers are to take
in government in the future.”

That Bryn Mawr’s effort to solve
this problem took the form of a sum-
mer school for women workers was
due to the inspiration of Miss Thomas,
who conceived the idea in 1921, her
last year as President of the College.
She organized a board of representa-
tives from the college and from the
workers’ themselves, with the members
from Bryn Mawr at first- predominat-
ing, and, finally with an equal num-
ber from both groups. Since every
phase of labor and education was rep-
resented on this board by a separate

delegate, the whole committee was
enormous. It consisted of about forty
members. Yet in spite of its awk-

ward size it continued in this form
until 1927.

The faculty has consisted of mem-
bers as distinguished as its director.
Although both Miss Fairchild and
Mrs. Kirk from Bryn Mawr have
taught at the Summer School, the pro-
fessors have generally been selected
from other colleges.

Council Finds Cutting

Scheduled for Rehearsals
Cause Trouble



‘CARE OF GRASS URGENT



President’s House, March 11.—The
progress of May Day ‘plans, the prob-
lem of undergraduate papers and re-
ports, and discussion of certain diffi-
culties connected with May Day were
isome of the topics dealt with by the
|College Council at its recent session.
|The condition of the grass was also
‘brought up with the urgent request
that every one on campus should use
the regular paths and thus save the
grass as much as possible. Certain
students have been provided with
whistles to warn offenders and signs
have been erected at points where
paths are being worn.

May Day plans are progressing
| very well and are getting on far
faster than had been. expected. The
question of cutting rehearsals has
become. quite serious, however, in the
past.week. Two or three rehearsals
were completely broken up by the un-
explained absence of one or more of
the key characters: If this continues
and proves to be genuine disregard, it
is probable that drastic action may
have to be taken against those who
cut. Més. Collins felt that the cut-
ting was not due so much to the stu-
dents as to changes in the hours
scheduled for rehearsals. Much of
this was unavoidable, but in the fu-
ture misunderstanding will be elimi-
nated by allowing no changes once
the schedule is posted. The coaches
may cancel rehearsals, but they will
not change them to another hour.

The plays are fully understudied
and rehearsals will be held for the
understudies after vacation. Mrs.
Collins pointed out that.these people
are making a great sacrifice of time
and energy and it is only fair that
if regular members of the casts cut
frequently their parts ought to be
given to the understudies.

The choice of places to have the
wagon plays is causing the committee
in charge of May Day quite a little
trouble. Mrs. Collins said that she
would be glad to receive any sugges-
tions as to possible places to have
these plays. The location must be
one which is accessible for the wa-
gons, which will each be drawn by a
pair of horses.

The plans for properties and co8-

|tumes are progressing very well. This

\“City Bourgeoisie”



Dr. Rostovtzeff Describes Him
as a rogressive Farmer
and Reformer

POETRY
OPINIO



OWS PUBLIC
\OF HIS TIME
siipinnien

Goodhart, March 13.—A new con-
| ception of. Horace was presented by
‘Dr. Michael Rostovtzeff in his lecture,
Horace As I See Him. This year
is the two thousandth anniversary of
of the birth of the Roman poet and
it is especially interesting\ to read his,
work now, for, as President Park
pointed out in her introduction of the
lecturer, Horace lived in a\“broken
world,” and the social disotder he
(knew was not unlike our own \times.
Dr. Rostovtzeff thinks of the poet as
being primarily a spokesman for\ the
great class of “city bourgeoisie,” \un-
known before Hellenistic times, who
were the backbone of Italy and were
| responsible for a new civilization of\\
'the Romans.

Horace was born a provincial, the
son of a freed slave, and was educated
in Rome. He derived his income solely
from his Sabine farm, which was more
than the residence of a grand seigneur
or the log cabin of an American pro-
fessor, to quote Professor Greaves, of
the University of St. Petersburg, but
was a fundus comprising both grain
and grazing lands. The building that is
called Horace’s villa today is certainly
‘not the original farmhouse, but dates
from later Flavian times. ‘Horace
was a careful, progressive farmer,
economically independent.

Before the first century B. C., Italy
was composed of many towns loosely
bound together, eath with its own way
of living. During this century there
occurred the miracle of a new Italy
with a cultural and political unity
emerging from the chaos of tribal
differentiation. The Italian people
were proud of being Romans and of
being rulers of’ the world. Contact
with the East led to the importation
of Hellenistic civilization, which was
not imitated but continued and Latin-
ized by the “city bourgeoisie,” who
were responsible, furthermore, for de-
veloping industry and commerce. As
a political class these equites standing
midway between the senate and the
proletariat, ended the dominance of
the senatorial nobility.

Horace is representative of this
class; in his work he tried to go back
to his Greek forerunners, whom he
knew especially from his journey to
Greece as a soldier under Brutus, but
he never lost his Latin flavor. He
was a master of the handling of his
language and of many phases of poetic

“The Time Hii Come’

This fall we had occasion to recall the vine and the vicissitudes,
the successes and the failures of the first fifty years of Bryn Mawr College.
Since then it has seemed very strange that in the past months we have
heard so little discussion of our plans for the future. The tangible physical
features of the college of the immediate future haye been envisaged, but
' the ideals, the plan and the purpose which will bring meaning and life to
these buildings ought to receive the deep thought of every student, alumna
and faculty member.

Bryn Mawr College was fétinded as an institution which would give
to women of exceptional qualifications of mind the opportunity to do intel-
lectual Work of a nature comparable to that available to their brothers.
The pioneer spirit of these early generations of Bryn Mawr women had
one quality which was uppermost, and that was the quality of ardent intel-
lectual interest. Brilliant, eager young women pursued their studies under
stimulating young professors who led them gladly over paths but recently
followed by themselves and set their feet on new roads, some of which led!
to remarkable contributions in the realm of scholarship.

There is a challenge for us if we analyze the attitude with which most
of our predecessors approached their college careers. It is perhaps natural
that they felt a keener sense of responsibility than do we for making the

most of Bryn Mawr’s opportunities, since their mothers and grandmothers)‘

had often yearned in vain for a chance to pursue further study. In the
» last two’ decades the situation has altered and now people go to college in
vast numbers.- Many of us have taken college more or less for granted.
The courses interest us, we enjoy the contact with other young women who
come from a background not too dissimilar to ours, we appreciate the
opportunity of working with faculty members who are keenly interested
in our intellectual capacities and in ourselves. But are we really striving
for a high level of intellectual attainment which is beyond the reach of
many of us? It seems rather that the majority of us are perfectly content
to drift along with a fair degree of interest in our work and satisfactory
marks in our courses.

The crux of the situation lies in the complacency with which we accept
these facts. Part of this is due to the general confusion of the times which
makes the adoption of a clear stand very difficult, but an even greater part
is due to the unfortunate importance which we accord to grades as indications
of the calibre of work done. Whatever the cause, there is something very
definitely wrong with an attitude toward education which is conducive to
such content. Mediocrity is a hard word, but it does not seem unfair to
use it here, for there is grave danger that we are fast slipping into that
category, both in the quality of our work and in our attitude toward it.
‘Undoubtedly there are those who do get a tremendous thrill out of the
work which they are doing andno doubt brilliant scholars are to be found
\ in the college, but the difficulty lies in the fact that besides being the pos-
\session of the few, this keen intellectual interest is the desire of the few.
Whereas i in times past the truly able students set the pace for the rest who
strove to approach them in ability, there appears now a marked tendency to
8 attention on the group which is doing work whose quality is per-
fectly adequate but on the whole rather uninspired. Those few who do
outstanding original work are not those to whom the rest of the college
measures up as it formerly did. Rather, we prefer to achieve the general
merit and the general oblivion of the cum laude classification.

In the next fifty years Bryn Mawr can continue to make contributions
to scholarship in an independent and individual way. But to accomplish
this we should reconsider the place which the ideal of excellence of stand-
ards of study must have in our scheme of organization and we must give
it renewed value and importance. There will be other causes revealed. .in
the future toward which we can direct our zeal and energy, but a true
understanding \of the purpose and quality of our scholastic work must ever
be the keystone\of our educational plan.





Where There’s a Will

Current Events

(Gleaned from Dr. Fenwick’s
Lecture)

France answers Germany’s accusa-
tion that the Franco-Russian Pact
was a violation of the Locarno Treaty
which was formed to strengthen the
League Covenant by saying that: in
1925 France was under obligations
to other countries to whom she agreed



'to lend assistance in case of attack.

{Under the obligations of the -Cove-
nant, she was, for example, to come
to the aid of Denmark or Holland, al-
though the Locarno Treaty does not
mention these countries specifically.
France says that if Russia is brought
in this does not conflict with the ob-
ligations, but extends them.

It was explicity guaranteed by the
five Locarno powers, that the west-
ern boundary of Germany was fixed
forever. While there was no guaran-
tee that the eastern boundary was
permanent, it. was agreed that it
should nat be changed by violence.
France and Germany agreed not to
attack each other. Belgium, who was
not a party to the pact with Russia,
considers that there was no excuse
for the German yiolation of the Lo-
carno Treaty with respect to her.

Fourteen powers meeting in Lon-
don have condemned Germany’s ac-
tions as a violation of the Treaty of
Locarno and the Covenant of the
League of Nations. The question is,
what action to take. A meeting of
the League will be held to which Ger-
many has been invited. The German
government is prepared to accept the
invitation to meet with the Council,
with the qualification that Hitler’s
new twenty-five year peace offer be
discussed “in. due course” as well as
the violation of the Locarno Treaty.

France, who last fall had to be
pressed by England to apply sanc-
tions on Italy, is now insisting that
England support her in putting sanc-
tions on Germany. France feels that
Germany will grow increasingly
strong and that now is that time to
suppress her—“‘Russia is with us, so
let’s go.” England feels that mili-
tary sanctions would be disastrous,
that the Germans would only be more
of a problem after a war than they
were in 1918. Public opinion is di-
vided in England as to whether they
should take a firm stand behind
France or: not. Eden, Churchill,
Chamberlain and Sir Samuel Hoare
want to support France with economi¢
sanctions against Germany. Dr. An-
derson described the possible eco-
nomie sanctions which could be laid
upon Germany as_ first,
which woiild be a cancellation of Eng-
land’s nerous budgeting of war
debts over a period of time and would
mean Germany’s wreckage. Another
would be prohibition of imports which
mainly. foodstuffs and raw ma-
erials, which would render Germany
unable to eat and ruin her industry.

DIRECTOR’S PAGE --- MAY DAY ANNOUNCEMENTS



Musical Accompaniments
Arranged for May Day



A variety of dances, instrumental
music, old English plainsongs and

songs, hunting-songs, and one which
we can describe only’as a “rye-chin-
ning” song, will be found among the
many forms of musical accompani-
ment to the May Day plays. Some
of the music is being written or ar-
ranged; some, like Back and Side,
has come down from’ Elizabethan
days.

The music for Gammer Gurton’s
Needle is limited to the robust and
popular ballad, Back and Side, to be
sung by Helen Shepard, ’38. A small
instrumental group will provide the
music for The Creation and will play
various themes to represent some of
the characters. Mr. Willoughby is
writing and arranging the music, and
at present is occupied in finding a
theme for God. The singing in the
play will consist of a short song of
praise, With heart and voice let us
rejoice, sung by the entire cast.

An instrumental group will also
provide the music which Mr. Wil-
loughby is writing and arranging for
The Deluge. The Gossips’ song, Here
is a pottell of malmsey, good and
strong, was written by Mr. Willough-
by when the Varsity Dramatic Club
gave the play on the green. Im con-
trast to the Gossips’ jovial number,
the entire cast will sing to a plain-
song setting a selection of. verses
from the .sixty-ninth Psalm (“Save
me, O God, for the waters are come
in, even unto my soul’).

Robin Hood contains a number of
songs, both solo and chorus. Willie
Waddikin; Courtiers, courtiers, think
not scorn; What shall we have that

are sung in chorus. The Merry Men
join Alan-a-Dale (Dorothea Wilder,
87), in the chorus of In Sherwood
Dwelt stout Robin Hood; Alan sings

ton. The other solo in the play is

by Will Scarlet (Doreen Cana-
day, ’36).

There are only two songs in The
Old Wives’ Tale, both sung by the
group of Harvesters: All ye that
lovely lovers be, and When as the rye
reach to the chin. In St. George and
the Dragon, there is only one song,
by the main characters, Hold, men,
hold. A professional instrumental
quintet will play for Midsummer
Night’s Dream. In the cut version
given here, one song, You spotted
snakes with double tongue, will be
sung by Agnes Halsey, ’36.

Music for the Masque of Flowers

is being written by Mr. Schumann;

most of the music is completed, -with
the exception of Dance of the North
Wind, the first dance. Primavera’s

Danee, is followed by the Dance of. the
Cock and a duet by Primavera and
Cock. Kawasha and Silenus, impres-’
sively costumed, enter with their re-
spective trains to a Grand Proces-
sional. The Masque concludes with
Dance of the Garden Gods and Dance
of the Flowers. The dances‘of the
Chimney-sweeps with their Jack-in-
the-Green, of the Gypsies and of the
Shepherds and Shepherdesses, take
place in the cloister, but are not part
of. the Masque. proper.

In addition to the music already
announced, two groups of strolling
singers will probably be organized.
Their songs have not yet been chosen.

by enjoyable over-exaggeration of her

"part. Cora’s brother, Bobby, was at

the dandy age and consulted about his
worldly affairs Clarence, the man of
the world, who had been in the army.
His part, a difficult one to: put across,

‘was ably performed.

the jealous step-

Mrs. Wheeler,

mother frustrated by the governess,

was a terror for her husband to cope
with; but somehow Clarence’s influ-
ence changed her outlook and ghe be-
came quite amiable, to her husband’s
great surprise. Her change in state
of mind was well effected. Mr.
Wheeler gave an amusing performance
as the head of a difficult household,
who scratched his head in vain at the
family quarrels and the pene
identity of Clarence.

Dinwiddie, the butler who was so
conscious of his high position, added
some delightfully humorous bits to the
play. He was continually ‘casting
aspersions on the “loose help with be-
smirched characters,” particularly
Della, the housemaid. Della acted
well in the small part of the roman-

‘tie maid who gazed at the moon and

flirted with Bobby. Mr. Hubert Stem
and Mrs. Martyn, the secretary, acted
capably in supporting minor parts.
The first act was not quite up to
the part of the rest of the play—
possibly because it was exposition—
but it did give the characters a chance
to convince the audience of amusing
potentialities. On the whole the
humor of the play was well-sustained;
infrequent lapses were quickly cov-
ered up, particularly by Clarence, who

had an unconscious ability to steal the

scene.

Huldah Cheek is to be commended
for her excellent’ directing. Even
actors and actresses whose chief vir-
tue on the stage is ease and enjoyment
of acting cannot step into a part with-
out able direction. Not only does
Miss Cheekshave a sensitive, broad
view of dramatic production, but she
has also a feeling for the small de-
tails of stage business which make
for the success of a play. Thanks go
to Miss Alison Raymond, in charge
of the Bryn Mawr League Maids’
Club, who asked Miss Cheek to direct
the play; to Anne Reese, Alice Lowe,
Mary Whalen and Huldah Cheek for
the construction of the luxurious sets.

Regulation of Industry

tions. The minimum wage law may
raise the lowest wages, but the em-

‘ployers who have to raise the lowest

wages also reduce the higher wages
of other workers. The result of the
law, therefore, is that the average
is about where it was before. Al-
though payrolls have gone up to sev-
enty per cent of the normal, even
since the N. R. A. was declared un-
constitutional, and although unem-
ployment has decreased, this improve-
ment has been less noticeable in the
durable industries and more impor-
tant in the food and textile industries.
The New Deal, Miss Fairchild feels,
achieved only a part of its purpose.
Mr. Anderson pointed to the policy
of the British government, which
acted under strong pressure from the
labor unions. The government did
not make the mistake of the United
States and treat the probleng pally,
but realized that the difficulties ‘were
world wide. The N. R. A. did not
control evenly the reduction of wages,
and some fields, like trucking and do-
mestic service, were not supervised
at all. It is the unfair reduction of
wages, not reduction itself, to which
Mr. Anderson objects. England low-
ered rates of interest and it is interest
on bonds, not the principal which is
paid by the producer. As a result,
machinery can be bought cheaply and
construction undertaken easily. Eng-
land recovered by these means. The
only way to be fair and to stimulate
the industrial machine is to lower
wages and rates of interest.
Stronger trade unions are neces-




the south of many northern cotton
factories, and thinks that natural re-
sources and.efficiency, not trade-un-
ions, will decide where industries are.

‘| Miss Fairchild pointed out that it is

harder to regulate conditions in the
south than in the north, and_ she
urged central Federal control to ‘en-
sure uniform conditions’ of work
everywhere.



Varsity Falls Beneath
Onrushing Faculty Ploy



decent March 15.—The an-.
nual faculty-Varsity basketball game
was won. by the faculty with a
score of 21-14. Where girls’ rules
were observed no goal could be
scored, because of. the ubiquitous
guarding of Dr. Nahm. Until the
end of the first half, Varsity did suc-
ceed in holding the score to 138-9 in
favor of the faculty, but in the second
half the faculty were in their ele-
ment, with mens” rules, and they
passed and scored often on fast plays.

* The faculty, besides overpowering
the Varsity on the scoreboard, over-
came them in stature, with one mem-
ber of the team lifting the ball out
of Hasse’s hands for a basket. Var-
sity played a good game on the whole,
in spite of the fact that their plays al-
ways petered out under the basket. If
the ball missed the basket, the faculty
invariably gained possession of it.

The men introduced fist-ball into
their interpretation of basketball, baf-
fing the women with their tactics.
Varsity was worn out by the third
quarter, but the men remained as
chipper and lively as ever. Dr. Nahm
showed consistent playing ability both
as a guard and forward, but it was
Dr. Anderson who made the basket
of the day—a perfect arc from the
centre of the floor.

Horace Spokesman
of Roman Equites



Continued from Page One

fessor Rostovtzeff lies in the reflection
in his poetry of public opinion and
the effect on the Romans of the cease-
less and devastating civil war. By
showing the political temper of the



people, Horace’s writings assume
enormous historical importance. Dur-
ing the years before the battle of
Actium, the atmosphere was filled with
terror and pessimism, and Horace was
protesting against the continuation of
the struggle that was ruining Rome.
Dr. Roslovtzeff illustrated many of
his points by reading from the Latin.

When Augustus came to power,
Horace accepted him politically, but
he never became one of his courtiers.
He had definite ideas for the regenera-
tion of Romé, which he promulgated
in the first Odes of. Book Three. He
expressed a hope of seeing: as strong
an Empire as the old one and the hor-
ror of a new civil-war. In his pro-
gram of moral reform he sets as goal
the regaining of the old Roman Virtus,
combining pietas and iustitia. Actu-
ally, Augustus -was ‘bent on similar
aims; the ideas of both men had a
common origin in public opinion, to
which both gave attention. Toward
the end of his life Horace gave evi-
dence of being nearly satisfied and
praised Augustus highly in the
Thanksgiving Odes, which are certain-
ly sincere and reflect the opinion of
many people.

be considered. The first striking
thing about the crisis in every country,
with the possible exception of Austria,
is the air of a moderate degree of
prosperity and the impression that
people are living in a two-dimensional
world; for underneath the surface of
comfort is a very different state of
affairs, in which fear sits close to
everyday life.

Not only in France and Belgium,
but in Germany the nervous tension is
strong, especially in the attitude
toward Russia and the Nazi govern-
ment. Hitler is capitalizing the fear
of Russia by using it as an excuse
to rearm the Rhineland, a de-militar-
ized zone imposed by the Versailles
Treaty. \

Fear of the Hitler regime also grips
Germany. A retired professor de-
scribes the situation as fifty per cent
good and fifty per cent bad. It is
good in that it has given employment,

into the German youth. It is bad be-
cause it has resorted to espionage and
the exploitation of the fear of the peo-
ple to gain its ends Every group
of houses in Germany today is

watched by a man whose reports pass
through men of increasing authority
until they reach the powers at the top.

The British view of the foreign pol-
icy of Germany is that if she once
starts she will go through Europe like
a knife through cheese; for she_com-
bines the fervor of the French Revo-
lution with. the efficiency of a Detroit
motor manufacturing concern. The
motor manufacturing concern.

In, this atmosphere of terror and
suspicion the average citizen, German
as well as English, is anxious for
peace. The people praying for peace
while their governments prepare for
war create a curious paradox which
can best be explained by mob psy-
chology. The mass instincts of a
crowd are more brutal and funda-
mental than those of individuals. In
crises like the present European one,
the decency in each individual ‘is blot-
ted out by the fear of the whole na-
tion. This fear leads to re-armament,
discontent and the antagonizing of
other countries.

The effect of fear is well illustrated
by the relation of France and Russia
to Germany. Russia is accused of try-
ing to tempt France into a preventive
war with Germany to which France
is averse. The French have, an the
opinion of Sir Arthur, no desire for
a preventive war, but are anxious for
a reasonable settlement. They are
afraid, however, that by giving in now
to the demands of Germany, they will
find themselves in a situation from
which they cannot. escape. Germany
has been pulling successful bluffs since
the Hitler regime began. France now
says: If Germany is not stopped this
time, what will happen next time?

College Archaeology |
Field Work Reviewed

Gozly Kule is Favorable Site
Near Tarsus Being Worked

Second Year





ENTHUSIASM IS HIGH



” (Especially contributed by Doreen
Canaday, ’36.)

It is for the most part true that only
those undergraduates who for some
special reason are connected with
archaeology in this college know what
is going on in the field. The interest
and enthusiasm of those few has some
difficulty in making itself felt, but it
is apparent from the increasing num-
ber of students who are intending to
make Classical Archaeology their ma-
jor, that the subject is no longer con-
sidered “dull” or ‘“‘useless.” These
new recruits will adopt the hopes and
help make possible the ambitious plans
of the department not only for work
here, but for field work abroad, which
cannot help but hold a fascination
even for the uninitiated.

The Bryn Mawr excavation has
been going on since: the spring of 1934
when an expedition was sent to Cilicia.
The staff consisted - of Miss Hetty
Goldman, of Bryn Mawr, field direc-
tor; Dr. Emil Forrer, adviser on
sites; Ann M. Hoskin, of Bryn Mawr,
and Robert W. Ehrich, assistants.
Sufficient, though slender, finances had
been raised by the untiring efforts of
Miss Swindler and others from the
more or less willing pockets of inter-
ested persons who had a little knowl-
edge and a lot of faith. In the cam-
paign of 1985 Bryn Mawr was sup-
ported by the Archaeological Institute
of America and by Harvard Univer-
sity in the form of a contribution from
the Milton Fund.

The first objective of the expedition
was the location of favorable sites,
and a preliminary study of them.
During three months the staff visited
forty-one sites and took soundings of
some of the more interesting mounds.
The most promising was that of Gézlii
Kule, near the modern city of Tarsus,
which is very modern indeed and
boasts a moving-pictyre theatre for
the relaxation of the tired archaeol-
ogist. The complete excavation of this
site was begun in the 1935 campaign,
and is to date not more than half
finished. A cross section of the mound
contains strata clearly recognized by
the character of their ingredients as
dating from modern times, through a
Roman period, te the later phases of
the Bronze Age, The customary pro-
cedure in work of this sort is first to
dig a trial trench, then if the indi¢a-
tions of the contents of the mound are
promising, the trench is widened. The
first trench, at the top of the mound,
brought to light the remains of a fac-
tory containing unused, and therefore
probably unsold, terracotta lamps,
and plaster molds, many in excellent
preservation though of rather poor
quality. Most of them represented
theatrical masks or charioteers and
horsemen, suggesting that the factory
catered to the needs of the theatre and
the hippodrome, which were two prin-
ciple features of the Roman city on
that site. Below the level of this fac-
tory the remains of a stoa, or colon-
nade, were found, among the walls of
which was another deposit of lamps
and molds. The objects from this find
must be seen in order that their fine-
ness and variety and composition may
be appreciated. The “genfe” subjects,
numerous in Tarsus, are delightfully

amusing as well as illustrative of the

type of work that was done in the
Hellenistic period. Coins found in the
fill suffice to date the material in the
first centuries B. GC. and A. D.

‘The first painted pottery, a jug of
the type affiliated with Syrian work,
was found in the remains of a house
beneath the west of the stoa. The pot-
tery down to this depth (about 6
meters) has been plain and drab, with
only occasionally crude designs, and
Miss Goldman places it around 1000
B. C. One of the most interesting ob-
jects from this level, and indeed from
the whole dig, is a bulla with the im-
pression of a seal of a type known
only from the city of Boghaz Keui,
the capital of the Hittite empire, and

interpreted to be the seal of a Hittite
Great King. It may have been sent
from the capital to the governor of;
the Cilician city after the conquest
of Cilicia by the Hittites, and is suf-
ficient basis for some important as: |
sumptions regarding the nature of this!
site and its former inhabitants.
Rooms of houses, with terraces, paved
courts, staircases, hearths and drains
were found some six meters beneath}
the surface, and with them fragments
of pottery, seals and terracotta fig-
urines. The pottery is important for
the dating of strata, Islamie, Roman
and Hellenist¥e being represented; but
there are many objects which are of
value because of their intrinsic inter-
est.

The next level of stratigraphic im-
portance is at about 14.50 meters, and
is accompanied by pottery of the
Cypriote Iron Age. It was here that
the most significant object, from the |
point of view of art, was found: a
statuette of translucent crystal repre-'
senting a beardless elderly man in a|
simple robe and a conical headdress. |
The type is Hittite, the face has char-|



‘acter and individuality, and the work-|

manship is far from erude. The fig- |
urine is strikingly beautiful in its sim-'
plicity. The exact date is difficult to|
ascertain and may depend on com- |
parative material from future finds|
in these excavations.

Miss Virginia Grace, of Bryn Mawr,
had charge of Section Five of the dig
in 1985. At a depth of about 11
meters she struck an Islamic street,
and as the trench was widened re-
mains of a large Islamie building
with drains and built-in tanks sug-!
gesting that it had been a dyer’s
establishment. A Roman level was
distinguished nearby, with a large;
building and pottery in the fill which
is most interesting because of its
parallel to vases from Samos, Rhodes
and Phrygia. It dates from late sev-
enth to sixth centuries B. ©, The
discovery of a ticket made of clay in
the remains of what was doubtless an|
amphitheatre, gives to the excayator}
a sense of almost personal relation
with the people who formerly inhabit-
ed this city. On one side it bears the
number 4 in both Greek and Latin,
for the convenience of the mixed popu-
lation; on the other, a profile mask:

The lowest level of civilization has
not yet been reached by any means,
and in view of the importance of the
finds already brought to light, further

fruitful results. It is difficult to give
on paper the enthusiasm that Miss
Goldman has for this project; but it is
to be hoped that that enthusiasm will
be shared by those who can contribute
in any way toward the success of the
Bryn Mawr excayation.

proper term to use in speaking of the
Summer School, for it was founded
in such a guise and so it has con-
tinued throughout its development.
Always there has been a definite aim
te accomplish, but the means of ac-
cémplishing it have not been equally
certain.

Another school for workers, Brook-
wood, was founded in the same year
as the Bryn Mawr organization, yet
since it chose another method for ful-
filling its purpose, it. has developed
on a quite different line. Brookwood
was established entirely under labor
auspices, but the Bryn Mawr Summer
School was modeled after European
and especially English examples.
Such experiments have been going on
in Europe for a long time, until their
ideas and methods have advanced to
a point at least a century ahead of
those ‘in America. Hoping that the
project might be made of as general
interest as the schools in Europe are,
the Summer School Board in 1927 de-
cided to change its former tactics and
to enlist the support of other colleges,
not only in teaching, but also in di-
recting. Bryn Mawr therefore gave
up its particular connection; the office
of the School was moved from Taylor
Hall to New York; representatives
were appointed to the board from
other “women’s “colleges; and under-
graduates from-other—institutions_be-
sides Bryn Mawr gave their assistance
at the summer sessions,

This plan unfortunately never
worked. In the first place, it seemed
an expensive enterprise to other col-
leges. Since the workers who attend
the school can pay only a small fee,
the greatest part of the expense must
be shouldered by the institutions that
support the school. For so much
money to be paid to an establishment
that they considered outside of their
territory seemed to the colleges en-
listed with Bryn Mawr an expense
they could not afford. In the second
place, these schools were not anxious
to meddle with what appéared, and
what is, a dangerous problem. They
furnished their buildings in the sum-
mer to activities that were useful but
safe. A school £6 workers such as

| Mawr undergraduates to show an in-

possibility of complications in which
they did not wish to become involved.

Because this experiment in workers’
education is so important and because
it will be increasingly important in
the future, it is the duty of Bryn

terest in the Summer Sgehool, This
interest is not merely a college feel-
ing, it is an assertion of maturity,
of the) realization of the duties of a

give if we can, we are making pos-
sible for girls of our own agé to have

while- we have it for four. years, they
have it for but eight weeks. We give
them a chance to gain the ability to

work in their true relations, and to
become infelligent, courageous leaders,
not only of labor organizations but of
the whole citizen body.



Margaret Chrystie Has
Exhibition of Paintings



Common Room, March 12.—Mrs.
Chadwick-Collins gave a tea at the
opening of an exhibition of paintings
by the well-known Philadelphia artist,
Margaret Chrystie, of Bryn Mawr,
which is being sponsored by the Art
Club of .the college. Twenty-three
oil paintings are hung on the walls of
the Common Room, where they will
remain on exhibition until March 26.

Miss Chrystie, who lives across the
street from the Bryn Mawr station,
has made painting a serious hobby for
many years. She has studied with the
Philadelphia Academy of the Fine
Arts and with its summer school at
Chester Springs. She spent one
winter working with Henry McCarter,
of the Philadelphia group of artists,
but has painted primarily on her own.
She has had many exhibitions in
Philadelphia and on the Main Line,
including one at the Friends’ Central
School last autumn.

The exhibition includes many famil-
lar scenes from contemporary life—

French Public Speaking:
Medal is Offered Again

The Comité France-Amérique, which
for the first time last year sent to
Bryn Mawr a medal for French pub-
lic speaking, won by Miss Mary Pau-
line Jones, has announced that the
medal will again be offered this year.
Once more the competition will be
thrown open to the college as a whole,





‘no requirement of courses being made.

The French Department, recognizing
that there is little outside time at the
disposal of the students in a May
Day year, has decided to make the
competition this year a competition in
the reading of French.
Trials will be held during April,
consisting in the reading aloud at
sight of a passage of French prose
and a passage of French verse. When
the candidates for the final competi-
tion have been chosen, assigned pas-
Sages to be read at the Coneours will
be distributed and in addition to these
prepared passages, there will also be
sight passages. The jury, which last
year consisted of Professor Louis
Cons, of Columbia University, Profes-
sor Albert Schinz, of the University
of Pennsylvania and Monsieur Marcel
de Verneuil, French Consul in Phila-
delphia, will be announced later.

of connecting the tenor and vehicle
for the aim of the metaphor and con-
fuse the by-products’ with the pur-
poses. :

Breton requires only that tenor and
vehicle be far apart}! Max Eastman
goes farther and insists that the meta-
phor attempt the impracticable, Often
a connection which at glance or
taken by itself seems impossible to
make, becomes “quite simple and
natural when regarded in the light of
its context. Gerard Manley Hopkins
in his poem, ‘‘The. Bugler’s First Com-
munion,” joins two such seemingly im-
miscible igeas as those of “bread” and
“house” in his line. ,

“Low-latched in: leaf-light housel
his too huge God-head.”

When the quotation is clarified by
a realization that the poet is speak-
ing of the Wafer as the “dwelling of
a Divine Presence” the connection be-
comes easy and obvious.

Neither M. Breton nor Mr. Eastman
is concerned with the effect of the
juxtaposition of the remote objects
forming the metaphor. Their aim is
an “artificially induced paranoia”
which is to “communicate a kind of
experience not elsewhere felt .. . to
arouse a reaction, yet to impede it...
to make us aware that we are living
something, no matter what.” Yet the
mind, being essentially a connecting
organ, will continually invent ways of
connection, and this experimentation
is the movement which gives meaning
to fluid language. In the case of the
super-realists, who are exploiting the
collocation of such remote ideas, the
tension is considerably greater and
their work is the less successful simp-
ly because the reader is soon weary of
being constantly baffled by the appar-
ent inconsistencies of the author. On
the other hand, the identification or
fusion of tenor and vehicle is equally
to be avoided. Their interaction de-
pends as much on their disparities as
on their likenesses and this fact must
be remembered in all analysis of meta-
phor.

There are two distinct dangers into
which modern writers can fall. First,
there is the assumption that an idea
must*be perceived by the senses, that
language must involve visualization,









College News. Tryouts
Candidates. for positions on
the editorial board of the: Col-
lege News are reminded that all
papers must be in the office in
- Goodhart by 1 p. ‘mn, Monday,
March 28.







whereas actually visualization is quite
unprofitable. T. E. Hume, a brilliant
young scholar who was killed in the
war, left a theory of metaphor half-
formulated, which is immensely inter-
esting. Unfortunately there are cer-
tain errors in his doctrine. It depends
in .part on the false premise of the
necessity for the visual ‘and the con-
crete in language, a theory that is
patently wrong, if much ofthe poetry
of Shakespeare is considered. His
words are often abstract and quite
comprehensible without visualization.

The second difficulty with the use of
metaphor in modern writing is the
confusion which arises between the
relation of tenor and vehicle and the
joint.action of the two. Hume does
not distinguish between these, al-
though this easy mistake is as fatal
as ignoring the braekets in algebra.
The words of a metaphor must make
us aware of its meaning, though any
analogy can be carried too far and
thus broken down.

For such an understanding of words,
it is necessary to maké a choice of in-
terpretations, balancing the relative
importance of the two parts of the



metaphor, and this can and must be
carried over from discerning reading |
to the world in which we live. The
psychologist’s study of transferences |
show us usually the pathological side, |
where an outworn vehicle is applied
to a new tenor. If a new vehicle of
a developed sense of human relations
is applied to the tenor of human love,
then happy living can be attained. |

It has been the dream of psychology
to discover.the meaning of our words
through a study of the mind. An-
other dream is to learn about words
in order that we might discover what
our minds meant. By combining these
dreams, and by conceiving of life in
terms of words, we can approach the
great problems of personality through
the minor difficulties presented by
language; and we may reach finally
the harmony of living which Plato
believed in, and expressed so beau-
tifully in his Timaeus.

Faculty Team Runs Wild
In Second Varsity Game



Gymnasium, March 15.—With the
barking dogs absent and a much de-
pleted gallery looking on, the second
teams of the faculty and Varsity met
in a contest that proved to be more
evenly matched than its immediate
predecessor had been.
of awe-inspiring males clad in white
jerseys and’ red shorts was reduced
to three, and they were joined by
three equally awe-inspiring females.
Captain Blanchard and his team-
mates, Anderson and Hedlund, had
relinquished their positions to these
members of the weaker sex who la-
ter proved that brains as well as
brawn can conquer in basketball.

Play was slow and uncertain at
first, but assurance grew proportion-
ately with the passage of time. Sarah
Meigs tallied Varsity’s four points in
the first quarter and Miss Collier
made all of the faculty’s ten points.
After those scores, Varsity was in the
depths of despair.

Life and activity sauntered into the
Gym when Dr. Nahm, casual, cool,
collected, took his place in the line-up.
The whistle blew and the combination
of _Dr. Anderson and Dr. Nahm
clicked; with Anderson grabbing the
ball whenever possible. The game
speeded up, the gallery showed defi-
nite interest and in the midst of it
all the ball hurtled majestically into
Sarah Meigs’ arms from the other

‘end of the Gym, accompanied by a

pleading cry of “Sarah” frem Eliza-
beth Washburn. In a moment the
Excitement
reigned; Varsity had found an effec-
tual tactic—in long passes. At the
end of the first half the score was a
tie, 12-12.

At the beginning of the second half

‘rules were abandoned. At the end of

the third quarter the score was 24-16
in favor of the faculty. The last
quarter went quite uneventfully ex-
cept for time out while the ball, which
had so inconveniently gone out of: the
window, was retrieved. The faculty
continued to run wild, and Dr.
Broughton, after three unsuccessful
trials, made the final basket which
brought the score to 28-19 in favor
of the faculty. ;

The line-up of the game was as
