(Specially — contributed Olivia

Amid the general excitement in
Goodhart Hall there was also held
‘there,
and Saturday the Fourth Annual Con-
ference of the Five Colleges on Prob-
Jems of Student Government. Each
college was represented by the incom-
ing and outgoing presidents of its stu-
dent governing body,

organization at the other colleges.

The meeting Friday afternoon dealt
with the broader aspects of regula-
tions..in- women’s. colleges.The-chair-
man referred to an article in the April
number of the Atlantic Monthly in
which the Assistant Dean of Radcliff
questions the real grounds for the
need of women having special regu-
lations in their colleges. In discus-
sion it was found as usual impossible
to make a_ blanket statement as to
what women go to college “or, and
therefore how much studious atmos-
phere should be made for them by
regulations. It was decided, however,
that until parents and especially board-
ing schools gave girls greater free-
dom and responsibility certain regula-
tions. were necessary at least-—-for
' Safety of the individual
‘was considered thé really vital motive
for any regulations. The need of the
‘college out of self-protection and for
financial reasons not to antagonize the
conservative public opinion was also
recognized as a motive, though some-
what more reMictantly.

Currents Events ‘Contest
“Won by Shaughnessy, ’3 1

At Thursday morning chapel, March
27, in the Music raom. of. Goodhart,
Dr. Fenwick announced the winner of
the Current Events Contest at Bryn
This contest is sponsored by
the New York Times and the winning
paper here was sent-on to the intercol-
legiate competition.

Dr. Fenwick compared the contest
to'a horse race which, he said, was
“thrilling beyond all expectations” and
so close that it was almost impossible
to judge the winner.. About eight
horses were in the running—tall, short,
sorrel, etc. With great vivacity and
spirit Dr. Fenwick described the race
which consisted of, an unusual number
of jumps and obstacles requiring both
skill and endurance. After a few
"tense and breathless moments the last
stretch was run and ‘No. 203, M.
Shaughnessy, "31, received the flow-
ered horseshoe, = e., the Bryn Mawr

Registration of Courses
Discussed by Miss Carey



The registration of courses for next
year is beginning two weeks late, and
with the difficulties of.putting the new
curriculum into effect, it will be a
rather complicated affair: Miss Gar=
diner and I are ‘therefore anxious to
have the undergraduates take as much
responsibility as possible for planning
their courses, ~So that the appointment

-All Sophomores,” and Juniors who
have changed their majors, must see
their professors beforehand and. have
their plans of work approved. You
are all asked to take responsibility for
your own, schedules and for your al-
lied subjects. Copies of the new
schedule will. be posted in the halls
this week. You need to study the
subjects in the different groups, and
to choose only one subject from each
group. Then make out the schedule of

Those who are perfectly sure of their

plenty of time to discuss your whole
course with me.



Explanation of Changes

An account of the reasons for -the
Curriculum changes’ was given . by
Acting President- Manning in--Tues-
day Chapel. There was no need, Mrs.
Manning said, to go over the ground
in detail as an exact statement of the
changes had been written by Miss
Carey for the CotLtece News.

was gfadually abandoned -under the
pressure of students desiring to take
shorter courses. The first break came

Lecture to Celebrate
Vergil Bi-Millennium



The fifteenth of October, 1930, will

|} be the two thousandth anniversary of

the birth of Vergil. For the past year
or more committees aJl over the coun-
try have been arranging for celebra-
tions of the great event. Schools and

Icolleges have’ been asked to put all

the. emphasis possible on his. works.
As a result many schools have given
some sort of performance in his hon-
our. The play of “Dido and Aeneas”
which the Shipley School gave a few
weeks ago was only one instance of
many. Perhaps it is easier ‘to rouse
an interest for such things in a school
than in a college. For one thing one
is nearer to the idea of Vergil there
than one -is once the college entrance
exams are past. It is also easier to
stir a small class to thé pitch of en-
thusiasm where they will -be willing
to give a play. or~hold any sort of

National Characteristics
Hamper Naval Conference



On Thursday morning, April 10, Dr.

Gray, of: the History Department,
spoke in Chapel on the London Naval
Conference. His talk included the

reasons for the failure of the Confer-
ence=with regard to the question of a
five-power treaty, why the ~ three-
power treaty resulted instead, and the

extent’ to which this treaty will be of ~~

importance and value. ‘

“Tt was-a- foregone conclusion,” be-
gan Dr. Gray, “that if there was a
three-power treaty there would not be
a tag to it. That was the drawback
toa three-power conference. .Here I
will indulge a little in generalities,
which I' distrust always; but here is
one for-what-it-is-worth: ever since
the war there has been disturbance of
European affairs turning upon’ three

characteristics of three ‘different na- <,

tions.”

The first of these characteristics, Dr.
Gray @ontinued, made itself felt at

Musical Season Ends _
With Simfonietta
Bloch’s ‘Concerto ini Is:

Most Successful Offering of
Varied Program.



SEVITZKY ABLE LEADER



Tuesday, March 25, marked the
close of the musical season at Bryn
Mawr. “#he Philadelphia Chamber
String Simfonietta, assisted by Horace
Alwyne, gave the final concert of the

Bryn Mawr series. Fabien Sevitzky
conducted’and in a very scholary fash-
ion led through widely diverging paths,
for the program offered great variety.
But if Mr. Sevitzky is a very fine tech-
nician, he is also an artist. Not only
did his skill prevent the appearance of
flaws, which in an orchestra composed
entirely of strings are more easily no-
ticed, but his various shadings placed
the emotional effects midway between
dryness and_ sentimentality. There
were times when, to one sitting near
the front, the tone quality of the vio-
lins was a bit harsh; at the back, how-
ever, if the Goodhart acoustics’ per-
mitted any sounds to be heard, they
were probably softened. On_ the
whole, the tone was very rich and full.

“Mozart’s “Eine Klein Nachtmusik”
opened the program. It is quite a leap

auditorium of Goodhart, and the at-
mosphere, as far. as Mozart is con-
cerned, suffers slightly from. the change.
Also the number of Mozartian nonc-
turnal players was considerably small-
er than that of the Simfonietta. How-
ever, owing to Mr. Sevitzky’s crisp-

firm: but gentle accentuation and
smooth—crescendos,-the.music..retained.
much of the grace and delicacy that
must have charméd My Lady of the
eighteenth century and those of her
contemporaries whose habit it was to
take the night air.

Mr. Sevitzky did his best to infuse
subtlety. into—Arensky’s- variations on
the Tschaikowsky theme “Child Jesus
‘Had a Garden,” but in spite of the
‘emphasis which he laid on the alterna-
tion of tempo, he could not prevent
the theme itself from remaining the
chief. merit of the variations.

We are told that Sibelius’ suite
.“Rakastava” deals with a lover. (an-
dante moto), his lass (allegro), and
their meeting. and parting (andante).
If so, and we have Mr. Sibelius’ word
for it, they are decidedly Finish lovers;
they could not have sprung from other
than Norse soil, where, it seems, cogl-
ness is a property of other things be-
sides temperature. Nevertheless, if
Mr. Sibelius’ lover lacks-the-fire-of-a
Tristan! he does not take himself too
seriously, and, as Mr. Sevitzky nicely
pointed out at the end of the allegro,
he even has a sense of humor.

Perhaps the most successful offering
of the evening was Ernest Bloch’s
Concerto Grosso, the popularity of
which jis. significant in showing how
much ground modern music has al-
ready gained.
five wears old, yet “its modernity.has
ceased-to be hair-raising} for, if we
sNould expend too. much energy in
fearing .people like Mr. Bloch, we
ehould have none left to~ decry ‘such
gentlemen—as——-Prokofieff, Schonberg,
and Barth. Even the polytonality in
the middle section of the dirge seems
merely interesting. In Mr. Bloch’s
concerto, which herein differs from its
eighteenth, century ancestor, there is
no definite playing off-of a fixed group
of instruments against the rest of the
orchestra, but the solo parts are as-
signed to instruments of. different
groups.
particularly effective by Mr. Alwyne,
and stood out well, whether acting in
conjunction with the rest of the or-
chestra as in giving out the main
theme of the Ptelude, or when merely
“embroidering, as in the arpeggi which
accompany a solo violin in the Dirge.
The Fugue seemed quite. tremendous,

desire for, prestige.” The third char-
acteristic set the conference in motion:
It was on the part of Italy, who be-
fore the war was suffering from an
inferiority complex, and now has a
desire for superiority which has de-
veloped into a mania. .

Two of these characteristics, the
French and Italian, brought about the
failure of the five-power treaty. The
United States is to be gratified to a
considerable extent.

Until 1895 the English formula to
dominate the world consisted in hav-
ing two navies as large as the French
and Russian combined. But in 1905
this formula wasfisplaced by another,
resulting from agreements with France
and Russia—that England should keep

man navy.
At the. beginning of the war, we
were far behind England. But by the
end of the war, due to our own rapid
construction, especially of destroyers,
and the destruction of the German
fleet, we acquired the second place in
naval strength. Then our desire for
prestige, to be gn a par with our great
naval rival; England, ted**to” further
ship building. At this time there de-
veloped the idea of parity and prestige
without so much building, this-opinion
finding expression in the disarmament
conference at Washington in 1922, a
conference very successful in many
ways. ~ =

The problem may be considered as
applying to ships in. general, which,
may be divided into several categories:
“capital” ships with ten-, twelve- or
sixteen-inch ‘guns; these are the battle-
ships which can be built only at great
cost. The competition of this type of
ships alone was limited at the Wash-
ington Conference. England and the
United States agreed to build the same
number, 525,000 tons. of these capital
ships; Japan two-thirds as. many, and
France and Italy, half as many as
Japan. Franée was very unwilling,
but not at the time financially able to
disagree, which led.to bad feeling in
France against us. England and the
United States built about eighteen of
these ships, and France exceeded her
ratio.
Dr. Gray expressed the growing
opinion that battleships are going out
of fashion, and are too costly. Eng-
land is now particularly anxious to
reduce, but we, having more of them
than of any other kind, do not favor
too great a reduction. We are ready
to,scrap from eight to fifteen ships pro-
vided there is no further building from

1930 to 1936. In the conference of
1922 the plan was limited in time only
to 1931. This is therefore the first
gain of the Naval Conference.. It will

probably be possible in 1936 to reduce
very largely ‘the expenses of these
ships. :
Rather large and not such expensive
ships are aircraft carriers, which have
remained in importance where’ they
were in 1915. Cruisers have not been
touched; 10,000 tons is the maximum
size of cruiser which is to be built.
The maximum size of gun-bore on this
type of ship is to be eight inches.

Gray was forced to conclude his dis-

little more than’ the memory of a bad
dream. The -fact remains, however,
in spite of the dream-like quality which
he may have assumed, that he was one
of the greatest poets of the world.
It is only the bitterness of the fate
which makes it necessary for us to cut
our. intellectual teeth on the classics,
thus developing a complex against
them for the rest of our lives, that
prevents most of us from appreciating
this. In an age which is ready to
acknowledge unrecognized genius
whenever it is proclaimed it ig a pity that
we do not always acknowledge the genius
that comes to us marked with the
praise of generations. Some ages
have loved Vergil better than others,
but he has never been neglected.
Even at times and in countries which
could not understand his greatest
ideas, his understanding of simple
human things has always assured him
a~place:*—“‘To-the English-speaking’
peoples however he shguld be particu-
larly sympathetic, for-not only is he
one of the great influences in any. lit-
erary tradition, but he was the -su-
preme spokesman of the ideals of the
Roman, which are so very much our
own. We may hope that it is some-
thing of this affinity that Dr. Osgood

nolds collected the music for the club’s
spring concert of 1930 which, it was an-
nounced, will be given at the Town Hall,
New York City, on May eighth. Previ-
ous concerts have been devoted to special
fields of song—old ecclesiastical works,
compositions by women composers, afd
Pan-American music, and the spring con-
cert will be predominantly of Scandi-
navian music. One of the most inter-
esting features will be ‘a group compris-
ing very old Danish, Norwegian’ and
Swedish church music. + Finland and Ice-
land will also be represented, Mr. Rey-
nolds said, the three Icelandic songs; not:
before given in this country, being tradi-
tional folk-music of unknown antiquity.

the home cage) .as well. Clarence
further was tested with cheése at the
end of the blind alleys, but it did not
alter his habit. Perhaps the disinfec-
tant out-odoured the cheese! A typi-
cal. Watsonian trick with sawdust was
also tried, the entrance to the food
compartment being blocked with saw-
dust. Harry took 20” to run, appeared’
baffled at’ the sight of the sawdust,
and ‘then obliging displayed his “dig-



ging reflexes,” burrowing through in

9”. Clarence turned away _ several
times at the barrier, -finally digging
through. (Total time 1/4.5”.).

As a final test of abilities, the two-
rats were run together, but. they
seemed completely untouched by the
spirit of competition, except when they
paused in one corner to fight. Harry,
being more hungry, arrived, the victor,
in 45”, while’ Clarence wandered in
one minute and thirty seconds later.
But rats, if an exacting proposi-'
tion for Watson, aré “much more so.

SENSITIVENESS IS HURT



“The sensitives, as compared to the
sophisticates who are a barometer of
our times, are characterized by their
interest in the feeling values which
haven’t changed—their love “of chil-
‘dren, animals and the beauties of na-
ture. The sophisticates are extroverts,
finding satisfaction in mingling with
their fellow men. while the sensitives
are afraid of the world and find the

only reality in inner refléction“and sen-

sation.” By this comparison Mrs.
Margaret Fleisher Sloss clarified. her
{nterpretation of. “The Sensitives,”
March 26, as
the last of a series of talks on “The
Literature of the Machine Age.” The

Sensitive literature is enormously per-
sonal and contains something of the
‘mystical

in the impression invariably
given of definite powers of good and

evil which are struggling against each”
‘Other for mastery in the world. Earlier
Sensitives in literature were Dostoiev-
sky, Blake, Heine, the Bronte Sisters
and Hardy—all contain the necessary

harmonious blend of both thinking and
feeling"
The Sensitives, &4{most destroyed by
longer truly contem-
porary. Katherine “Mansfield, Mary
Webb and Heriry Winson may all be
called shell-shocked, nor did they re-
cover from this shock. This ‘group
has more understanding of psychology,

its -members’ may remain

=z ameternally~adolescent,and.struggle un-

der a sense-of inferiority. Such an in-
ferior feeling may be caused by out-
side agencies such as poverty, sex, re-
ligion, or iliness;-or it-may~ be-the re-
sult of the author's identifying himself
with human suffering and defeat.
Charlotte Bronte, Katherine Mans-
field, and Mary Webb all died before
they.were 45-from poverty and lack of
care. In the case of women the urge
to create is often divided between the
woman and the writer and the con-
flict expresses itself in their work. The
problem of right and wrong and an
acceptable personal creed is also pre-
eminent. I'n “The Pathway” a woman
is despised for following in the foot-
steps-of Christ. In “Wolf Solent,” by
John Cowper Powys, the basic theme
is the destruction of a fine human by a
corrupt materialized group. Along
with the love and understanding of the
country. which -is- depicted there is a
weird and mystic feeling of its malig-
‘nance. There are the temptations,’

struggles and final weakness of Wolf}

which make him akin to the world of
suffering humanity, while over _ all
hangs the cosmic struggle of good and
evil. '

Of Mary Webb's fairy tales ‘Pre-
cious Bane” is perhaps the best with
its absurd plot, exquisite descriptions
bf English country and folk, and keen
observation. “Ultime Thule,” by
‘Henry Handet Richardson, a clumsily-
written book, but one in which there
is real understanding of the relation
between man and_.wife, finds its. only

- relief from unbearable tragedy in the

steadfast character of the wife. The
Sensitive—clings—to—romantic—love, -he
does not belong to the smart “writing
set, he does not picture much of twen-
tieth century city life, but preserves an
eternal quality in his works.
Laughing. Boy,’ by Oliver La Farge,
is a love poem of the failure of the
Navajos, very moving in its picture of
loss and grief. “The Whistlers’
Room,” by Patil: Alverdes, ‘has for its
setting.a German hospital room where
the soldiers who have been’ shot
through the throat are kept. It con-
tains balance and simplicity, and is

,, full of love and a certain plaintive



humor ‘which suits its perfect restraint. |

gréssed to a more mature acceptance

Journal places her in this group with

her interest in form, knowledge of city

standards and sensitive subtlety. - This

. exquisite work- and her letters give a

‘vivid picture of an ardent and fastidi-
ous soul. The influence of James
Joyce and Gertrude” Stein is“seen in
Richard Aldington’s - “Death of a
Hero.” This is a sensitive and under-
standing treatment of the war, reflect-

ing: the modern bitferness dua the

There are power and—vigor—as

sufferings of a fastidious man ‘in the
army, wat bunk is thrown aside. “The
Sound and the Fury,” by William
Faulkner, shows all the @fluences of
the war, the machine age, and the
stream of consciousness, along with a
néw technique in’ form. The disillu-
sionment and:despair of the tortured
adolescent turn into a stark unrelieved
tragedy, as thoughts and impressions
in a cubistic mingling of past and pres-
ent pass through -the minds of four
members of a family. The theme of
the decaying Southern family is also
treated by Thomas Dolfe in “Look
Homeward, Angel,’ the unpleasatit. ex-
periences of a large family set down
in striking and,.vigor@us phrases. Vir-

ginia Woolf, an academic Sophisticate,

says that to do creative work a woman
needs freedom from economic worry
and. demands on her time. This does
not hold for ‘the Sensitives who have
done their bést work under bad con-
ditions. The rich flow of Mrs. Woolf's
English, however, and her mellow hu-
mor and keen observation make “all
her ideas delightful to read.

“A Farewell to Arms,” by, Ernest
Hemingway, is the outstanding. book
of the-year.--It-is a book of-affirma-
tion, development and _ observation,
written with perfect restraint, and rep-
resentative of the understatements of,
modern people. The characters change
and grow in their brief love affair un-
til they realize the finest potentialities
of which the human soul is capable.

« THE NEW BOARD

With the advent of spring and vacation, the News Board has under-
gone its annual transformation, and the new Board_finds itself instated
and expected to function, however oppressed it may be with new respon-
As we survey
our plight, complicated to an appalling degree by copy, filler, dummies,
and cuts, we become truly appreciative of the labours of our predecessors,
and we wish to express here our heartiest recognition of the: leadership
of the off-going seniors throughout the past year.

Tlie problems of journalism, however, offer their satisfactions as
well as their complexities, and it is. with deep interest that we undertake
our project. In surveying the field, we find that a college paper is neces-
sarily restricted in its range by the activities and movements of a small
and specialized community, and that our particular paper must further
cope with a dearth of the typically “collegiate” material, such as large
athletic meets and-undergraduate campus activities. This leaves the
News with little more subject matter than the rote reviews each week
_ of lectures and chapels and concerts, and occasional editorial comments
on diverse and generally unimportant details of college activity.

Yet that there is a demand for.a campus publication is-evident from |

~even-a-brief-analysis of our subscription lists: THE NEws circulation at
ately-nine-hundred;“and-of-these*nine}
hundred subscribers, four hundred and sixty-five were intimately con-
nected with the college, three hundred and fifty being students, and one
hundred and fifteen graduates and faculty. Four hundred more copies
were sent to alumnae. What service does the News render to make it of
value to these nine hundred subscribers! ? The artswer to this question has
been suggested above.

First, the News, through its write-ups of Chapels and its direct
contact with the.college officials, gives the admjnistration a means of
communication with the student- body. The-recent-curriculum plans, for
example, were Officially submittedito the News for publication before
general discussion of the changes was initiated, and changes in rulings
concerning academic requirements always appear in the News. Similarly
the News: may be consulted for the’ Athletic Department.

A second service of the News consists in the announcements and
write-ups of current occasions, such as the numbers in the winter Con-
cert Series, or:the lectures of Mrs. Sloss. For interested alumnae and
those of the college body*who have been unavoidably absent, or those
who are particularly concerned with a given lecture, the value of the re-
view in the News is great. The Board is particularly anxious by clear
and accurate write-ups to be of real service to.this group of readers.

The last division of the News material includes articles and items
of general campus interest, wherever they can be gleaned. . These are
more personal in tone, and are written by“Cissy when she is moved to
explore the campus, or by the editors when Cissy gets beyond her depth.
They are rarely intended to mould. opinion, since any reforms or changes
in the college regime are cared for by special committees who gather
their data from the individuals most adequately informed on the subject
under consideration.. The function of the editorials is, rather, to express
campus opinions and to bea a general interest in the changing aspects
of campus life.

‘The New Board, then, at the beginning of its term in office, is
anxious to place before its “readers the various directions in which it hopes
to be of service in answering their-demands.



" THE FLOWERS THAT BLOOM IN THE SPRING, TRA LA

We have been waiting for some time to announce the appearance
of spring on the campus, and though we fear we are. now a bit previous
in regard to the actual fact, we think the date warrants some notice. The
symptoms can hardly be said to be alarming, but we call your attention
to the Japanese cherry, magnolia, forsythia, and a few other daring
botanical specimens, although admittedly, clothes are the most blossoming
objects noted so far.

We have been optimistic f or so long, wns disatipolnted so ‘many times
this spring (so-called),.that we hesitate to appear too confident. We are
just a trifle doubtful about the advisability of mentionitig the event ; per-
haps one should display a deceptive indifference, somewhat on the theory
of carrying an umbrella to put off ‘the rain. Nevertheless, there are a
number of truly cheerful indications, which, with the generous encour-
agement observed around campus, may lead to great things.

‘The

service of the

‘| white rat to education has long been

known, and we are growing recon-
ciled to being classed with rodents in
our learning processes. We find them
a comfortable excuse for our short-
comings, and white rats after all are
inoffensive members of the scientific
brotherhood. We were startled, how-
ever, to learn early in March that the
Science’ of the White Rat was being
pursued in our very midst.

over-dose of Watson, equipped them-

ment room in Taylor for the stage of
operations.

The specimens were dainty bits of
white fur, about three inches long, ex-
clusive of tail. They were approxi-
mately six weeks old, and appeared
normal in every respect. Harry and
‘Clarence were decidedly the largest
The early move-
ments were’ largely exploratory, the
animals sitting on their haunches with
characteristio begging movements,
then standing on their hind legs
against the cage, nosing about with
quivering vibrassae, and biting the
wire. They ran at random a good
deal, clinging by all fours upside down
from the top of the cage, and running
along the sides.

_ The peaceful home life, on a diet of
bread and milk and lettuce leaves, was
rudely disturbed ¢ on. March 7, three
days after their arrival, “by the death
of little Dicky, who was. heartlessly
eaten by ~his cagemate ~ Clarence.
Martha Alice met her death the next
day, so the experimentation was done
with Harry and Clarence, who got on

tangle,..composed...of...theusualblind

compartment in the centre. The ani-
mals were fed in the centre of the
fiiazé for several days before the ex-
periments began. This was managed
by carrying them from the home cage
by hand.

On March 7 the real work began,
with exacting duties for the mistresses,
Miss “Benham_and_ Miss. Scott... From
one-thirty to two ‘each day they re-
paired to Taylor and “ran” their pro-
teges. “Running” consists in opening
‘the door of the home cage; which ‘is

the food compartment. This proce-
dure- was repeated three “times with
each rat daily,

third run, the animal was returned to
the home cage and fed to satiety on
bread and lettuce. Exactly what stim-
uli are effective in the response—vis-

thetic—Watson~ himself is unable to
discover. The oply “control” used. in

Editorial

We welcome to our harbor the good
ship_which, enters port next Saturday.
“Pinafore” represents a daring vertture
of. a twofold character and we are ali
interested to see how. she will eather
the gales. The substitution of a real
musical comedy for the old-time Glee
Club concert promises to be an attrac-
tive change. Jolly sailors and their rela-
tives in gay costumes on board a life-
size ship (two decks, so rumor hath ‘it)
cannot but be more thrilling than rows
of white-clad maidens, however charm-

such an undertaking means a great deal
more work, for to the training of large
choruses must. be added the coaching
of acting and dancing and the costuming
and staging -needed for so large an en-
‘terprise. “™*Pinafore” is a "daring voy-
ager. As a Varsity show, Saturday
night’s performance will mark, we hope,
the_heginning of anew era. Under-
graduate plays are a feature of the life
of most colleges, but until now have been
quite unknown to Bryn Mawr. Here is
the chance to inaugurate a new tradition,
to have one very good play during the
year, drawing on the talent of the whole
“student body (graduates, too, are on
deck) and helping to further that “esprit
de corps” of which we hear so much.. As

a pleasing variation of the Glee Club en-
sctahiniae and as a herald of future
“Varsity Shows,” the arrival_of ‘‘Pina-
fore’ is awaited with great excitement.
May she havea “bon voyage.”

We had gone to bed early in order
to escape studying for our philosophy

and English quizzes, and were snooz-

opened our eyes and beheld none other
than Cissy herself. She looked par-
ticularly fetching in her new striped
pajamas, each. leg, from right to left,
of a Ifttle deeper blue than the one
before “it. She spoke excitedly:

“It has happened at last: Rock is

Cissy was persistent.

“Yes, yes, obviously,” we growled.
impatiently.

noticed that the fire siren was shriek-.

into our coat and we saw that she
was casting longing glances at our
window. But we reminded her that
she was very low in funds and we took
her through the door with us. She
held her towel daintily before her nose
and praising. Allah for previous fire
drills she led us bravely through

the odor of thick smoke, at any .rate—
to the arch door where she slipped
through a crack. By the time we had
joined her in the cool. night air we
found her surrounded by all of our
little playmates, who also looked very
charming in cold cream and curl
papers.

her opinion on the matter, but she was

was overwhelming. _Just_then_a_great
commotion was heard. . They had
found the fire and we were saved. At
the same moment-Cissy appeared at
the head of the stairs and beckoned
to us.- Silently we followed her to

scientious. meee

From these more abstract subjects
the discussion’ turned to the question:
of week-end entertainments. In this
Bryn Mawr was particularly impressed
with the advantages it has in being
near a large city ‘with its concerts,
theatres, etc. We could, however, due
to the Blue Laws of Philadelphia, sym-
pathize with thefpfoblem of entertain-
ing guests on Sundays. “More small
rooms for entertaining and perhaps
teas in the common rooms with. fac-
ulty as chaperénes if neceSsary, were
suggested. A radio such as the one
in our common room was considered
also to be a help.

The meeting was adjourned and all
went. to tea in Wyndham. _ After-
wards Mrs. Manning gave the dele-
gates a few delightful. words of wel-
come and Miss Carey told . most
charmingly and helpfully of the im-
portance of the conference and the
advantages to be be gained from_ it.

“The old and new boards took the dele-

gates out to dinner and then to “The
Constant Nymph” of which they were
appreciative.

4, Virginia; Grimes led the discus-
sion Saturday morning on comparative
rules, using, an admirable outline of
the rules in the five colleges which had
been compiled at Mount Holyoke. It
was again evident that Bryn Mawr,
through its Idéation and small size, is
able to allow greater liberty. There are
very few privileges that we do not
have which they do. At Wellesley
there are no rules about motoring be-
fore 10 o’clock but none at all-is per-
mitted_after.. that. hour» unless..chap-
eroned.-_ Seniors at Weellessley. ‘may

Holyoke and Smith they may have

.. them in the spring. Vassar and: Well-

esley allow guests in the halls and at
Smith they may stay in some houses
while there are also two club houses
at which students may stay with
friends.

If public opinions cannot remedy the
situation, Bryn Mayr might find it
helpful to follow the example of the
other colleges and have very strict
rules in regard to taking library books.
At Mount Holyoke when a book van-
ishes after due notice has been given,
it is pronounced lost and five cents is
collected from each member of the
class, while at Smith a search of the
rooms is made ‘a couple of times a
year and a student who has kept books
may be given more hours to carry or
may even be expelled. ‘

Quite obviously, the big parts are
those of Lewis Dodd, Tessa, and Flor-

If there was one thing above an-
other that made its impression upon
the audience, it was the skill with4
which the parts’ were cast. There was
no case in which the person seemed

where the part did not seem especially

“With a population. of over one

of the American Department at Nan-

kai University in Tientsin, speaking on
The Cultural Transformation in China.

The attitude of the western world
in the last 110 years has been charac-
terized not so much by understanding

so prominent in the nineteenth. Since

then there have been changes on both
sides which make mutudt appreciation
more difficult. China's level of achieve-
ment has been gradually decreasing
despite some high peaks of national
vitality, and has been marked. by lit-
tle creativeness along any liné.

To. the period of transition and the
taking on of western institutions and
systems. of thought, though stubbornly
maintaining the old theories, a parallel
may be found if the-contact with In-
dian thought from the fifth te the
centuries. Chinese - scholars
went to India,.studied-and absorbed as
much as possible, and brought home
documents now of great value in liter-
ature and philosophy. As a result, in
the eleventh century a.great-school, of

‘thought grew up, encompassing both
poetry and drama. — Crystallization is

undesirable too soon; China more than
anything else needs time, for things
moving though almost -imper-
ceptibly,_In_illustrationof this point,
Chang discussed recent develop-
ments in education and the drama.

For a time China indirectly imitated
western. system of education through
the medium of Japan, sending there
thousands of students. Then in 1909
they began to come to Europe and
America in increasing numbers. By
1915 they were returning from Japan
with textbooks and apparatus, and
after the -war-began- coming back from
the West.to enjoy complete control of
the educational system till--very—re-
cently. 2

The first movement,
and hoping for too quick results, was
not very successful, but the tendency
within the past few years has been

| reactionary and conservative. Now,

however, the tendency is to see it in
the light of the world values of classi-
cal Chinese drama.

The acting is not actualistic, for the
stage of the world is not the stage of

the theatre and must be kept distinct.
Because its aim is to portray human
relationships to the thing, and-not the
thing itself, it has been called uniform
and patternized, but. the supreme art
lies | in the ability to designate a door
by a gesture rather than _by a material
object.

Costumes have flowing sleeves’ in or-
der to make better rhythms, and make-
up, found to be not free enough, is
now almost a pattern in itself.. A sev-
en-year training is required to learn
the various patterns, and once under-
stood, tremendous self-control and re-
straint. must be used. The Chinese
theatre has its place in the world with
other schools of drama; it is working
in a different way toward the same ob-
ject.

greater in proportion. The old credit
by hours tied up the value of a course
to the number of times the class met.
Under the new ‘plan the course may
meet less often and as the require-
ments of the work demand, without re-
gard to the ret credit.

In the Language departinents, the
lectures on literature will n be
greatly changed. The work in c
position will for the most part be dorie
by conferences, and will still be in-

‘ dependent from the work in litera-

ture. In the departments of Science,
the same laboratory schedule will be
used, and the work will be organized
as at present, but the lectures or out-

side preparation in the first year
a . ry

courses may be in some cases” cut

down. In the reading courses,..the

number of lectures ‘will be reduced,
but more time will be allowed for
actual reading and writing.

The faculty has also approved in
general the new -plan for mid-year
examinations and-a reading period, and
the departments will be allowed to give
up mid-year examinations, if they wish,
making final examinations more im-
portant. The * examination period in
the middle of the year° will be re-

not scheduled, an opportunity for gaore
reading and writing. In the second
year and advanced work there may be
a reading period in the spring, before
final examinations, for wider reading
and independent work.

The new curriculum has many ad-
vantages. It seems to meet more
nearly the demands of students for
the arrangement of schedules, and ‘the
wishes of those who drew up the cur-
riculum. It gives freedom to the de-
partment for experimental methods of
teaching, smaller groups,.and individ-
ual conferences. It allows more time
for outside reading and reports. It
makes possible a more flexible lecture

schedule, By doubling the number of |:

pessible groups into which _ lectures

may be divided.
The most important part of the new

‘curriculum is that it promises a bet-

ter foundation- for’ independent and
honours work, and more opportunity
for work under instructors in the first
two vears. ‘The student will find out

Mrs. Manning told the representa-
tive of the News that she had omitted
to speak in chapel of the extent to
which the faculty made use of: the
plan presented “by the Undergraduate
Curriculum Committee.. She felt that

had been recognized by Miss Carey in

she wished again to emphasize the
fatt=*that'the new plan had been
worked out along the same lines: as

-Book Review.
Potato Face, by Carl Sandburg. Pub-
lished by Harcourt, Brace and Co.

“If you have a yodo you can ‘look bet- ;
ter ‘while you listen, and listen better

while. you. look, But if you -haven’t.-got
a yodo you can’t.” In many places: in
Mr. Carl Sandburg’s new collection of
Rootabaga stories for adults, the reader
is aware of an urgent need for a, yodo so
that nothing may be passed over ‘ or
heard incorrectly. It is that tricky lit-
tle phrase “for adults” that makes all
the trouble in reading the book. One is
frequently seized with the dreadful sus-
picion that one’s leg is being pulled when
the little expected symbolisms and appli-
cations are not on the surface or discov-
erable even well below the surface. It
is fashionable now. for adults to find as
much pleasure ‘in nonsense rhymes and
stories as the children for whom they
were written. Mr. Sandburg has _in-
cluded in his nonsense for adults bits
which. many matter-of-fact modern chil-
dren would reject as hopelessly silly.
The puzzling part is that even the sense-
less pieces are written with such sim-
plicity that they seem to convey the
subtlest meanings by leaving them un-

- | said.

Mr. Sandburg in selecting Fog. Wisp|‘
and Flinyons to read at his college lec-
ture made a_ splendidly representative
choice. In both are the highly imagi-
native conceptions with
truth behind them, the amazingly fitting
and suggestive coined words, the gentle
humorous sympathy. with people who are
strange, -and people who act as _ their
friends act. There is an underlying
rhythm in this prose which was brought
out remarkably in Mr. Sandburg’s read-
ings. wv

These two stories are not however
the finest nor the most beautiful of the
collection. The Spink Bug and the Huck
expresses the «understanding and_ phi-
losophy of. a peaceful man. in the sim-

‘He is the same as ‘me, only different,
and I hate him because he is different,
and I hope I will never be like him
because if I am I will like him, and I
want to hate him’.”

A quiet dig at our world is introduced
without forcing: “They . decided
And by talk-
ing—they—would—find—-out-why—-they~-were
going to fight.” Their talk is a poetic
revel in natural beauties, and leaves a
very definite impression that Mr. Sand-
burg could conduct himself superbly in
the realm of sense. “The Honeymoon
Tree” introduces the Rag Doll and the
Broom. Handle in the rhost idyllic of

situations. Nonsense - marriages .- are
golden and eternal, but not sickeningly
sentimental. Mr. Sandburg’s lines on

baby shoes and socks are tender : and
delicate. “My father’s mother said she
mever saw woman's fingers more beau-
tiful than when they were picking off
the baby sox trees the pink and white,
yellow and blue baby sox to keep the
feet of their babies warm the next win-
ter. Some episodes are more vigorous.
Tradind Dreams gives the opportunity
for a rebellious and youthfully spirited
sentiment. “It’s too easy to drive a bus
where the houses are .on both sides of
the street and the street runs between
the houses. It’s more'fun.to drive a bus
where the houses are up over or down

-|under the street.”

The Potato Face Blind Man with his
accordion who ties all these stories to-
gethem from his corner near ‘the post
office _is a kind and-sweet-old-philosopher
who looks toward the. sky- and .gives-the
feeling that he knows’ and appreciates
“the white wool of the clouds” and the
moonlight more than those who can only
see them. He is often a fine poet and
always: a- judge of people. To Peter
Potato Blossom he says: “Your voice is
like a wisp of moonshine gold dipping
in an evening wind. And I think you
carry your head high when you walk,

At least Potato Face has a philoso-

phy which may well be applied to both.
Fog Wisp said to, Potato Face: “If we
live long enough maybe both of -us will
know snoox talk and spiff talk.” “We
know a little of it already,” said the old
man, “and we are both young with time

Regarding life in that perspective,
decisions are thrown into a new light.
Jesus spent little time in distinguish-
ing between what is good or bad,
right or wrong. He had no criterion,
but He so cultivated Himself that He
recognized the will in Him with such
certainness‘ and such trust that He
dared to face death. In other words,
‘He was caught in a flash and con-
sumed by it.” One must spend one’s
life in seeking to capture this mood.
Out of long attempts to take the right
and hard way which can give some-
thing to someone else, out of cultiva-
tion of forgiveness, the sharing of real
love, the reading of fine literature, and
the search for beauty, it is caught. -

MEDIEVAL IDEAS /

Continued from Page One,

Heaven and the lady on earth which|

made the ideal of chivalry so power-

ful. Public opinion taken from __ the

bottom up would have given. different.
"ideas of women: The bourgeoisie kept
women in subjection but did not ideal-|

ize them, in the common labor of men

and women the stress would have been
on personality and a rough equality.

These doctrines were completely in-
consistent and women found them-
selves oscillating between a pit and
a pedestal. ‘The Church’s ideas were
earliest expressed, with woman ap-
pearing variously -as Eve or Mary,
reviled or championed... The concep-

. tion of -woman_ 4s ‘the “age ae of

the devil found its r ft,St. Paul’s
expressed) by the
Cheistian fathers and those scholarly
ascetics who. had embraced -monas-
ticisin as a refuge. This*iew lasted
when the conditions had passed and
gave rise to the fundamental theory
of the inferiority of women. The
Church was good’ to women in mak-
ing their souls equal with men’s,- and
in helping the struggle for morality
with monogamous Christian marriage.
Also it developed the cult of the Vir-
gin Mary, led by public opinion, which
spread rapidly and’ was supreme from
the late eleventh century to the end
of the Middle Ages, manifesting itself

in pilgrimages, cathedrals, -and~ Lady}

Chapels. The devotion of the com-
mon people to her raised their concep-
tion of women.

The aristocratic doctrine concern-
ing women was also twofold. Implicit
obedience to her husband was_ ex-
pected of her in marriage, and the
canon laws allowed wife beating. In
this specific feudal conception of mar-

riage woman was subordinated to the >

fief, while the mariage de convenance

“fhade her little better than’ a helpless! -

chattel. This class had’ its counter
doctrine of superiority in the cult of
chivalry, the expression of a ~deep-
rooted craving for romance. The most
interesting. manifestation of this wor-
ship of the lady. was the new concep-
tion of love which inspired much of
the fine literature of the twelfth cen-
tury Renaissance, : the rebirth
“polite society,” refined, sophisticated,
and cultured. Courtly love arose in
Provence in the last half of the twelfth
century, spreading through Western
Europe, and making love poetry the
fashion. Its centers were the small
feudal courts, and great Tadies patron-
ized the art of true love as its ex-
ponents, a real influence in forming
intellectual fashions. The character-
istics of amour courtois wefe very de-
finite. It was quite impossible as be-
tween husband and wife—“fiefs marry,
but men and women love.” The lady
was wuncontestably superior to her
lover who served her humbly and with
patience, while she capriciously put

d tasks designed to
perfect his knightfy virtues. Poetry
and love were’ interchangeable in this
exalted and_ idealistic conception.
Courtly love had something in com-
mon with scholasticism in its artifi-
ciality, rigid rules, conventions, and
system of jurisprudence. These form-
ulated rules of love remained for a
lohg time: after the ardent spirit had
passed.

It must not be forgotten that this
‘putting of -woman—on~—a- pedestal was
the exclusive ideal of a ‘small class.
Moreover the sensual world was prac-

tically untouched by this too transcen-

dental, too artificial love, which seon
degenerated into courtly flirtation.
Such polished frivolity stimulated

o again the old ‘attacks on women, as is

seen in the second part of the “Ro-'

mance of the Rose” written in the late
thirteenth century. A body of liter-
ary controversy about the nature of
women began to appear at this time
and has been going “on ever since.
With the rise of the bourgeois, always
hostile to the aristocracy,
popular fabliaux on the wickedness of

women. These are not to be taken as

with a new and very definite meaning by

director at Syracuse University recently
announced.

In its newest connotation “smooth” is
correctly applied to a» young gentleman
whose social graces are the last word.
His manners, speech and dress are quite
correct—in fact, ultra—though in the last
respect he would, not be classed as “‘col-

legiate.”
The Syracusé personnel director adds
that the ‘smooth’? man is one of the

campus big men, quite likely to be the
president of his class, fraternity or club.
He is the incarnation of all that is de-
sirable in a college man, according to
his freghman admirers.’ He is never a
grind, but his scholastic standing is good.
He may be good-looking, but need not
be, to fulfill the requirements of the man
of smooth quality. Good-looking girls
are the choice of this type, and he is

pursued by them with the persistence
and effrontefy which only attractive
femininity can get away with. There is
