Professor of Art: and Archaeology at

. Princeton University, will come to

Bryn Mawr for a series of three im-

portant lectures on Chinese painting,
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, No-
vember 17, 18 and 19. The lectures
will be given in the Deanery at 5
o’clock in the afternoon of each day:
The first and second will be illustrated
by lantern slides and the third with
original Chinese paintings which Mr.
Rowley has obtained for the series
from the DuBois Morris collection.
This important lecture series is being
sponsored by the Chinese Scholarship
Committee, the Undergraduate Asso-
ciation and the Entertainment Com-
mittee of the Deanery.

Mr. Rowley is one of the most emi-
ment connoisseurs of Chinese painting
in America. He has done much by his
work at Princeton and by outside. lec-
tures to increase and stimulate inter-
est in the subject in America and to
make the ideals of the art understand-
able to Western students: He is
known as one of the most stimulating
lecturers at Princeton, and among his

eminent pupils are the Directors of!

the Worcester Museum and of the Far
East Department of the Brooklyn Mu-
seum. At one time he taught the
course in Art of the Far East here at
Bryn Mawr.

Last autumn Mr. Rowley gave. an
intensely interesting lecture on Chi-
nese painting in Goodhart, in which
he emphasized the importance of ‘the
Eastern view of nature and philosophy
in the painting. The Chinese artist
sought to express not the likeness but
the essence of the object contemplat-
ed, and to do this an exquisite linear
technique was developed. Brush
strokes of the greatest delicacy and
subtlest shading are the essential ele-
ments of this technique. The harmonies
of the Tao, or the universe, were to the

Continued on Page Four



The speakers were introduced by
President Adylotte, who spoke briefly,
and then turned the meeting over to
the: first of the guest speakers, Cyril
Riley, a senior at Lincoln University.
Mr. Riley urged students to gain a
real appreciation of the. importance
of peace and to work hard to make
war an impossible thing in the future.

The next speaker was Doreen
Canaday, a member of the class of-
1936 here, who emphasized the neces-
sity for understanding the causes of
war before striving to secure peace.
She stressed the lack of. proportion
between the overpopulation of the Eu-
ropean countries and the distribution
of wealth, which is one of the main
causes of war. Another great factor
which, encourages war is the human
urge to fight. This difficulty can be
surmounted by making peace a con-
cern worth fighting for. Miss Cana-
day ended her talk by taking an active
stand in favor‘ of the entry of the
United States into the League of
Nations. The United States, by fail-
ing to join this body at the time of
its organization and its subsequent
refusal to participate in many of its
most important activities, must take
a large share of the responsibility for

the present ineptitude and collapse of

the -League.

Robert Wolf, of Haverford College,
closed the cererhonies. He began by
remarking that it must be an Armis-
tice Day indeed if it were possible for

a Haverford student to address a

Swarthmore audience in such a peace-
ful fashion. This remark completely
won the attention of his hearers. Mr.
Wolf pointed out that the number of
students who are peace advocates is
constantly growing. The force of
their conviction is even greater than
that of past peace advocates because
they argue for peace without any pre-
vious experience of what war is like.



Beauty, Intellect Harmoniously Combined
At Bryn Mawr, Writes French Magazine



With what pleasure and scicniniuas
did the editors of The College News
read the article reprinted below in its
original form! We publish along

with it part of the letter in which it
was enclosed. Catherine Bill, .’35,
sent us the clipping, which she found
in a weekly French paper:
“Considering the enclosed article
entirely newsworthy, perhaps also
valuable as propaganda for Body Me-
chanics, I am sending it to you in
case you agree. It is the third of a
series of articles, entitled ‘Style and
Beauty in New York.” The first was
a most illuminating description of a
cheap New York hairdresser with her
wonderful friends and artistic way of
making up her customers. The sec-
ond is an alluring account of Eliza-
beth Arden’s reducing camp_ in
The third contains an appre-
ciation of Bryn Mawr. . Apparently
the theme of the author is to en-
courage French women to copy the
‘belle Américaine’ in sensible diet, in
sports, in bright colors, in calmer
make-up. Her one criticism so far
has been that American women over-
dress a good deal of the time. Other-
wise the article is unadulterated
praise, If New York copies Paris,
Paris copies’ New York with twice the
afervor and with much more sincerity.
In every article written for women,
the author is exhorting the women of
France to become conscious of ‘la
ligne.’ It is strictly nationalism. The
French Academy of Beauty, -unof-
ficially, is. worried because French
women are no longer the most beau-
tiful in the world. Bryn Mawr ap-
parently has the lead! .



called Marianne and is a weekly. It
is one of the most popular weeklies
because of its clever cross-word puz-
zles and articles by André Maurois.
Conclusion: Most of France knows
of Bryn Mawr as the spot where
beauty and intellect are harmoniously
combined.”

We reprint below the part of the
article which pertains to Bryn Mawr
College. The ‘author is. Madame
Auclair, whom students may remem-
ber from her visit to the campus. The

Progressive Teaching
Principles Discussed



Miss Katherine Taylor Believes
Children Ought To Express
Ideas In Work



APPRENTICE JOBS OPEN



Common Room, November 7.—Prin-
ciples of teaching in progressive
schools and opportunities afforded to
apprentice teachers were discussed by
Miss Katherine Taylor, of the Shady
Hill School, Cambridge, Mass., in the
first vocational tea of the year. She
emphasized the attempt of the teacher
to relate the varied studies pursued
by the children and to hold their in-
terest by carrying over the ideas de-
devolped in one course into others.

Attention to the individual needs
and capacities of the children is an
important. principle. Miss Taylor
showed some interesting drawing work
to illustrate this... The youngest pupils
are taken out into the school yard and
set to work drawing some such com-
monplace object as the school build-
ing. Each one is encouraged to draw
exactly: what he sees. The differ-
ences among the drawings were amaz-
ing, not so much in quality as in the
varied impressions of the same thing
recorded by each child. The work in
drawing is continued until the sev-
enth.or eighth grade and follows the
line of( individual development.

Scienée is taught in much the same
way. Everything is illustrated by
visual experience and by laboratory
experiment. The children do not draw
voleanos after reading about what|
they are like; instead, they build a)
working volcano out of plasticene.

Every chance idea advanced by a
pupil which has a possibility of prac-
tical use.in the class is taken over
by the teacher as an aid in leading
discussion or in developing some new
topic. If one of the pupils mentions
reading something about the League |
of Nations in the paper, the teacher |
brings the matter up in history class
and describes how the League came
into being. Then, perhaps, a problem
for. the English class will arise
through attempts to write an account

Sunday Movies on Main Line!

It will be noted by those who devote
themselves to the perusal of the news
of the local movies in this newspaper
that the Seville and Anthony Wayne
theatres have scheduled — regular
screen performances on Sunday after-
noon and evening at regular weekday
times. The new system goes into ef-
fect this week. ,

This is the beginning of a new era;
from now on movies will be shown at
2, 7 and 9 o’clock every Sunday. The
law that makes this possible is a State
statute allowing the towns to ke
their own decisions in the matter df
Sunday movies. The results of the
recent local elections made the pos-
sibility a reality. This is the first
time in the history. of the Seville that
a regular non-benefit performance has
been given on Sunday. The movie
scheduled for next Sunday is Fred

must be taken to have it look as well
as possible. Experts say that walk-
ing o e grass does not hurt it when
the soil is hard and dry. In wet
weather, however, all walking on the
grass, particularly with sharp heels,
is injurious because it breaks ‘off the
outer skin and prevents the grass from
growing again. One must also be
very careful not to walk on the grass
during thaws, when the ground is
soft.

The. Fiftieth Anniversary celebra-
tion deserves several comments. Miss
Park particularly wished to thank the
undergraduates for their share in mak-
ing the*week-end a success. In par-
ticular she thanked the Rockefeller
students for giving up their rooms to
the guests of the college; the decora-
tors of the gymnasium, who success-
fully used leaves and flowers to beau-
tify it; the ushers at the various pro-
grams, and the students who sang in
the “Historical Sketches.”

The Fiftieth Anniversary cere-
monies were remark&ble, because
while celebrating the achievements of
the present, we still had our hand
on the beginning of things. The pres-
ence of Miss Thomas and of twelve out
of thirty-two members of the class of
1889, emphasized the bond that unites
the present with the past. This par-
ticular bond, in the natural course of
events, can never be so vividly rea-
lized at any future celebration. °

It had been hoped that the whole
college could be present at the Satur-
day morning program, but this proved
impossible. It was through a misun-
derstanding and a mistake in dates
that the announcement was made that
Cornelia Otis Skinner would give a
monologue on both nights. She at
first accepted for Saturday night
alone, and then when she found that
she would be free on Friday only, she
accepted by mistake for the dinner on
Saturday instead. of Friday. Only
after the announcement had _ been
made did she explain that the Satur-
day performance was impossible.

A letter from Dr. Charles Hatfield,
head of the Henry Phipps Institute
for the Study, Treatment and Pre- |
vention of Tuberculosis, was also read.
He regretted that he had not been)
able to hear Dr. Sabin, and praised |

Powerhouse Troubles
Cause Candle Revival



The eastern end of the campus was
plunged into darkness last Thursday
night on two separate occasions. The
first time occurred at about 6 o’clock,
' when the lights suddenly went out in|
Dalton, Denbigh, Pembroke East, the |
Infirmary and Dolgelly for a space of
fifteen minutes. These buildings ex-
hibited signs of life, however, as
candles which had long been used for
decorative purposes alone were draft-
ed into use. The fire captains thus
had a busy time seeing that no fires
were started by this means.

After the lights came on theré were
many queries about the cause of all
the trouble. No one seemed to know.
Mr. Dougherty was busy trying to re-
pair the damages. During supper it
was announced that the lights would
go off again and students hurriedly
assembled candles for the _ tables.
When the lights went off they pro-
ceeded to enjoy the rest of the -meal
by candlelight. ‘Those in Denbigh
were so pleased with the idea that
they want. to eat dinner once a week
by candlelight, because of its civilizing
effect!

The most profound “esearch by
members of the News board, however,
has not revealed the cause of the
trouble and all we could find out is
the rather obvious fact that something
somewhere was wrong with the wir-
ing. . §

ods of attaining that desire were ex-
pressed. by the seven speakers at the
college mass-meeting for peace. All
agreed that nationalism is an unjusti-
fiable evil, that peace must have more
stable foundations than artificial trea-
ties, and that the winning of peace de-
pends not so much on talking as on

acting. The moment for this action
is not in a year or so when we are out
of college, but right now!

Eleanor Sayre, president of the In- *
ternational Relations Club, introduced
the seven speakers, who represented
various departments and _ interests
among the faculty and students. Dean
Manning referred to the argument for
pacifism which Norman Angell pro-
pounded in his book, The Great IIllu-
sion, published a few years before the
war. Today we are returning tg his
argument that war is unprofitable
for ‘everyone, victor and victim alike.
Directly after the Great War, it was
claimed that the world was now safe
for democracy, but events have con-
tradicted this. Similarly, the stress
on pacifism because of the horrors
of war has lost its force. Today na-
tional rulers are still claiming that
they must make war to gain some-
thing for their people. Actually, the
people gain nothing. The history of
colonization. shows that the problem
of overpopulation and unemployment
is never solved by colonization or ex-
pansion. In two cases, those of Great
Britain and New England, the people
are worse off than before. England
is commonly called a supersaturated
nation; but the United States is in
the same-_situation, and_it—rests with
us, therefore, to take the responsibil-
ity which we are now shirking. By
our reluctance in this instance to take

part in the struggle for peace, we are

bringing on another World War.
Eleanor Fabyan, president of the
Undergraduate Association, put her
question: “Are we willing to pay the
price of peace?” Both individuals and

Academic Processions
Are Arranged By Rank

The occurrence of a history-making
academic procession at Bryn Mawr a
week ago has sent a wandering report-
er out to gather the facts on how such
processions are arranged. The prob-
lem of placing notables in their proper
rank must have been an extremely
delicate matter before a fixed system
was established. Now at Bryn Mawr,
the Baccalaureate procession is ar-
ranged in order of descending rank,
the president walking at the head of
the procession. For Commencement
the order is reversed, and the pro-
cession goes according to ascending
rank, with the higher ranking digni-
taries marching toward the end of the
line and the president last of all. It
was the Commencement order. which
was followed at the Fiftieth Anniver-
sary celebration.

As is the custom, visiting dignitaries,
such as the representatives of colleges,
universities and learned societies at
the recent celebration, are arranged
in chronological order of the founding
of the several institutions which they
represent.- The faculty of the college,
led by the two deans, line up in con-
formity to the alphabetical order. of
the department in the college, and
within that by rank of. professor and
instructor. .

institution, he may walk in whichever

wishes. In the recent ceremony there

graduates and perhaps some of them would favor allowing it to remain in
the realm of the undiscovered for some time longer; but we feel that the
hour has come when certain phases of it should be given consideration.
There are a few definite steps in preparation for May Day which can-
not be taken too soon. One of the most important of these is the matter
of choosing the plays which are to be presented: Most of the students seem
Such,

selects the «plays from a list of ten or twelve possibilities. Here is some-
thing which we could be doing now while there is still time for mature
consideration of the merits of each play.

' The experience of the last May Day brought home one point very

definitely: the training for the folk and Morris dancing cannot begin toal

soon. In 1932 active work was not begun until February, with the conse-
quence that the training had to be quite intensive and the practices very
frequent. -Perhaps this year it would be better to start earlier and have a
longer time to learn the dances. This would have the double advantage of
being easier on both teachers and pupils and of resulting in a more finished
production because of the longer period of training. The Physical Educa-
tion Department favors some such plan and expects to institute a system
whereby the dancing for May Day will be part of the required work for
freshmen and sophomores.



How About It?

We recently heard of an erstwhile Bryn Mawr custom that could well
afford to be revived. We refer to the faculty’s practice of composing two
types of questionnaires for students, one to test general information and
the other to test literary knowledge. The quizzes were by no means com-
pulsory: on the contrary, devised by a board of professors and taken only
by those undergraduates who so desired, they were for the sake of amuse
ment alone. They were really contests; and like all good contests produced
a cash prize for the winner. Each member of the faculty committee com-
posed a certain number of questions; and no one member could ask a
question that the other members of the board were unable to answer.
Thus, too erudite and too obscure questions were eliminated. The popu-
larity of the questionnaires, judged by the numbers of students who used
to take them, was enormous.

The incentive of a ptize is necessary in contests of this sort; and the
prizes could easily be offered, if, for example, fifty students would each
contribute ten cents towards a general pool, thereby making up a five-
dollar prize. Everybody likes questionnaires—witness the popularity of
‘such games as “Culture” and “Ask Me Another”; and we believe that
all who intended to take them would be willing to contribute toward a
prize. Such a/system of campus quizzes would be a wholesale game of
“How Much /Do You Know,” with the added spur of a numismatic prize
and no dire/consequences for the runners-up.

We feel sure that a revival of the questionnaire custom would meet
with camnpus approval and applause. We think that the fundamental
questignnaire-urge inherent in everyone would send vast numbers of under-
graduates to take a quiz which would involve. no preparation and much
f If a sufficient number of students would be interested in such a

» doubtless a group of faculty members would consent to form a

Ccammnietee and help to disinter a practice which is far too lively to remain
/ buried.

Book Review

Whether There Be Knowledge, by
Robert Henderson (J. B. Lippincott
Company, Philadelphia), is the first
novel of an ambitious young English
instructor at the University of IIli-
nois. It is the story of the senior
year of a boy called Donnie Trevett,
an ambitious young English major in
some middle-western university who
sets-out to right the wrongs of the
world through the medium of the cam-
pus daily paper. He is also an inter-
ested participator in and spectator of
the, college rows, riots and rough-

: | Houses, and seems more interested in
-;effating the wrongs done to the stu-

dents than those done by them.
_ There is reason to believe that the
author and his publishers look upon

opinion they are deluded. Few, if any,|

of the particular problems of a large
middle-western co-educatianal institu-
tion, menace the campus of a small
eastern woman’s college such as this
one, but it is safe to guess that Mr.
Henderson understands the conditions
about which he writes, and that hej
writes. about them honestly”’as well.’
Nevertheless, his book has no message,
it calls forth no crusade, nor does it
even point a moral. It is badly con-
ceived, badly united and, above all,
badly written,

Probably because it is salt about
a slightly muddle-headed youth,
Whether There Be Knowledge gives
the impression of being confused, de-
ploring in turn campus politics, na-
tional politics, campus snobbishness
and campus and national immorality.
It gives ho suggestion, even in the
mind of its central character, for bet-
tering any of these unfortunate con-
ditions. This lack of a solution of its
difficulties could be forgiven if other
authors had not made the same sort

of a report so many times, and in so}

much better language. The style of
Mr. Henderson’s novel is characterized
by a studied ineptitude, designed, no
doubt, to portray the general state of
its hero’s thoughts. Much of the nar-
rative is interspersed with short,

choppy phrases denoting informality ,

and modernity of style.

-In- all, there is only one sentence |

which tells the reader anything about
the author’s purpose in writing his
book, and that is this one: “He went
back to finish his last year of school,
and... he did not know... how
little different he would be at the end
of it. ...” This statement, coupled
with the fact that the author hardly
mentions academic work at all, save to
say that Donnie could quote part of
Tintern Abbey, would seem to indi-
cate that the burden of his book is
the futility of education. But on con-
sideration of the fact that he is a col-
lege instructor, one is aware that Mr.
Henderson must. have had some other
idea. J.T.



Public Opinion







To the Editor of The College News:

Having witnessed the celebration of
Bryn Mawr’s Fiftieth Anniversary in
the last few days, it has been stir-
ringly brought home to us that tradi-
tion possesses inestimable worth. But
through observation of present-day
campus events, we have become con-
vinced that all traditions are not good
traditions, and we can see no reason
for maintaining what are now out-

‘worn rites solely because they were

performed by our college ancestors.
We refer in, particular to the “Big

Scare” ‘perpetrated every four years
by the seniors of Merion. The cele-
bration of this tradition last Thurs-
day night took a form which we con-
sider devoid of both humor and com-
mon sense. Hazing has always been
barred from Bryn Mawr as an amuse-
ment unworthy of intelligent college
students. That. the last demonstra-
tion was not entertaining, but was
actually injurious, is proved by the
fact that three freshmen of Merion
were so thoroughly frightened that
they spent the day in bed in a state
bordering on hysteria. When a col-
lege tradition becomes not only an un-
worthy amusement, but also a danger,
we feel strongly that it should be
abolished.

PUBLIC OPINION
November 10, 1935.

To the Editor of the College News:

No radio works satisfactorily on the
present D. C, current in the halls be-
cause of the constant interference of
the powerhouse, A great many people
who are forced at present to listen to
concerts and lectures over small in-
adequate radios would appreciate a
good new instrument. The old D. C.
radio in the Common Room is prac-
tically useless. Therefore, last year
Miss Park had the current theie
changed from D. C. to A. C. If every-
one would contribute 25 cents a new
radio, working on the new A. °C. cur-
rent, coyld be purchased. We feel
that there is need of* a godd radio
which would be available to every-

one.

Battle After Early Scores
by Cary,. Hasse

MERION SECONDS LOSE



Bryn Mawr, November 9.—The var-
sity hockey team gained a victory with
a score of 5-3 in a hard-fought game
with .the Germantown Cricket Club.
Though Germantown played with an
incomplete team, it managed to give
Cary
walked away with the scoring honors

by tallying three times, while Bake-| .
‘well and Hasse each added a goal.

At the beginning of the game both
teams. were incomplete, Germantown
with two empty positions and Bryn
Mawr minus a right fullback. In the
middle of the first half Seltzer came
rushing down to the field to take her
position as back. Germantown pro-
duced one more forward in the second
half, but was still forced to face the
Bryn Mawr eleven with only ten
players.

Bryn Mawr made a flying start by
scoring soon,after the opening whistle.
The ball was carried down the field
and Cary. sent it into the goal with-
out much of a struggle. Hasse soon
followed suit by tallying. another. point
with a nice shot from the right.) Dur-
ing most of the first half the ball was
kept in the vicinity of Germantown’s
striking circle; but Bryn Mawr, after
the first two goals, could not seem to
get past the opposing team’s efficient
goalie. After some indecisive passing
on: both sides, Germantown took the
ball’ down the field and the center
made a weak drive toward the goal.
Smith stopped it easily and kicked it
toward the back-line. Parry, Ger-
mantown’s speedy right inner, recov-
ered it and passed it nearly to the
ceriter, who sent it into the goal with
a beautiful drive. The play was so
fast that it caught Smith entirely off
her guard. Before the end of the
half, Germantown managed to score
again with a hard drive by the center
half.. When the whistle blew the
score stood at 2-all,

The second half opened with a burst
of excitement when Bakewell made a
long run from the 50-yard line. When
she reached the striking circle she
made_one of her-bullet-like drives in
the direction of the goal, but the ball
bounced off the goal post and over the
back-line. After several. minutes of
play Cary scored again with a care-
fully planned goal, By a series of
quick, small passes she dodged the
opposing defense players in the strik-
ing circle and flicked the ball past the
goalie. Germantown answered by a
fast attack upon the Bryn Mawr goal
which chalked up another score for
them. Cary then tallied a third time
after a long run from the center of
the field. Within the last few minutes
of play a corner was called on Ger-
mantown. Brown sent the ball to
Bakewell, who put it into the goal
with a beautiful drive just as the final
whistle blew.

Bryn. Mawr on the whole played a
nice game in spite of the absence of
P. Evans and Jackson. There was
some muddling and some unnecessary
fouling on sticks. The play was con-

“fined more to the sides of the field

than to the center and there was less
passwork than usual between the for-
wards of both teams. There were a
noticeable number of long runs, ‘espe-
cially on the part of the wings.

. Cary was up to her usual stand-
ard and Hasse played a much more
creditable game than she did two
weeks ago. Bakewell was _ some-
what hesitant during the first half.
but later she snapped out of it and
demonstrated a little of her shooting
ability. Taggart made some nice
runs, although she was unable to score
on them. Since Bryn Mawr for a



large part’ of the game was on the

offensive, the backs made a less spec-|}

tacular showing than the, forwards,

Although it were not playing so.

well as it might, the Bryn Mawr
second team defeated the Merion
Cricket Club seeond team by the nar-
row margin of 1-0. Bryn Mawr’s
passing was poor and the game as a
whole was decidedly messy. The Bryn
Mawr contingent was slow and it
looked at first as though the faster
Merion girls’ would overwhelm them.
But. though lacking speed and ‘skill,
second varsity was not outfought and

managed to keep up its winning streak |,

of the past few weeks.

Throughout the first half Bryn
Mawr was consistently on the defen-
sive, The backs seemed unable to
clear the ball when they did get it.
Time and again it would be nipped
from an opposing forward, only to be
sent straight to a Merion back. The
fates were kind to Bryn Mawr, how-
ever, for Merion missed several op-
portunities to score. The. half finally
drew to its close with Bryn Mawr’s
goal line uncrossed.

Whether Miss Grant’s fight talk
during half time cheered the team up
a bit or whether the Merionites grew
worse, the Bryn Mawr attack really
began to threaten, though the pass-
work was still poor and. the three in-
side forwards muddled with each
other, Finally Jane Carpenter broke
away, rushed the ball down the field
and shot a goal, the only one of the
day. At about this time night began
to fall and the play wavered uncer-
tainly in midfield until the welcome
blast of the final whistle sounded.

Varsity Strains Utmost: ¢
To Conquer Faculty, 1-0



Bryn Mawr, November 5.—Pitted
against a strong Faculty eleven, Var-
sity hockey team showed how it really
could play by defeating its professors
to the tune of 1 to 0. The Faculty’s
skill called forth the utmost resources
of the Varsity team. In fact, they
were too skillful from the point of
view of the spectators, for the match
proved more of a hockey game and
less of a circus than had been ex-
pected.

Varsity was on the attack most of
the time, but Margaret Collier at cen-
ter half proved such a firm opponent
that Varsity could seldom get around
her. When the undergraduates did
get to the goal, Dr. Dryden’s goal
pads seemed to be everywhere at once.

Speakers Propose Many
Methods To Erase War

Continued from Page One



nations derive certain benefits from
war which .they. must give up to
achieve peace. Individuals “all along
the line” benefited from the last war,
and thus everyone must bear the bur-
den of war guilt. Among nations,
peace involves the giving up of profit-
able “spheres of interest,” of valuable
markets which can be exploited by the
greater powers. . The conflicts of such
economic interests: have resulted in
war. A radical solution of such dif-
ficulties lies in the passible redistri-
bution of natural resources. Articles
in the League of Nations present the
first step. toward this goal, which is
part of a fundamental concept of jus-
tice.

Another idea of peace involving jus-
tice was presented by Miss Ruth Law-
son, graduate student in economics,
who considered peace as a régime of
law in the international community.
Such a régime implies the avoidance
of violence and the meting out of jus-
tice.

whereas it is the latter which must

be regarded as prior and more fun-
damental. The thoughts of men have}
not changed so vitally in so short a
time as to justify our ignoririg this
basic motive for war, which must,
therefore, be dealt with or adapted to
internationalism before we can have
peace.. e

Dr. Anderson, of the Economies De-
partment, discussed the difficult prob-
lem of the causés of war, which are
quite apart from the trivial irrita-
tions commonly thought to be.the di-
rect causes of a declaration of war.
The deepest, most important causes
are indefinable; they have to do with
the development of nations and result
from the conflict of material aspira-
tions. The permanent staff-of experts

who are doing the-important work of

research in Geneva, studying how to
relocate populations and how to order
commercial relations are the ones who
are taking the most active part in =
struggle for peace.

Dr. Miller emphasized two ways in
which we should work for peace. He
first discussed nationalism as a false
claim to superiority over other
nations. Today nationalism has de-
veloped into a real religion, although
no nation can set itself up as an ab-
solute for morals. We talk of being
self-sufficient, but at least 90 per cent
of all we deem worthwhile is shared
with other peoples. In the second
place, we must do all that we can_to
dramatize peace as militarism has
been glorified. War can always stim-
ulate enthusiasm. The spectacle of
marching soldiers even of other

nations can arouse us to the highest
pitch, yet Einstein says that such sol-
diers have need only of their spinal

cords—no brains are _ necessary.



WwW.
Actually peace,
| pacifism, needs courage as well as
war—witness the heroic sacrifice of *

the pacifist Indian Sikhs who allowed |

themselves to be beaten to death rath-
er than resist in @the cause of
pacifism.

Mrs. Smith spoke from the point of
view of those thinking people who had

lived and suffered during the war, and

she advised instilling into’ the idea of
peace the spirit of romantic adven-
ture which has always made war so
attractive. Here in college we must
train ourselves, furthermore, to de-
velop a critical attitude toward what
is told us, a resistance to suggestibil-
ity, especially to propaganda. If we
can try to see clearly both sides of a
question, we shall be far on the road
toward peace. Finally, if we could
learn to laugh at a ‘peace lecturer as
we laugh at a doughboy, we could bring
a spirit of comedy to support the
cause of pacifism. —

Sally Park presented the opinion
of the Bryn Mawr students, who ought
to hold to the pacifist tradition of the
Quaker founders of the college. A
very real way in which we can work
for peace 4e“to influence the children
with whom we come in contact. Many
of us here can remember something
about the war which made a deep im-
pression on us. We could all make
such an impression on some members
of the coming generation, so that they
would always stand against war.

“Murder” in Senior Row
+ Upsets Merion. Nerves



Tradition reared ‘its ugly head
again, this time in Merion of a Hal-
lowe’en. Four years have rolled by
since the undergraduates were star-
tled out of at least ten years of life
by a demonstration similar to.that
which was perpetrated last Thursday
evening, and another four years will
pass before the Class of 1939- con-
tinues the tradition. Thursday’s
activities included a kidnapping, a
murder, ‘a case of hysterics bordering
on insanity, and the terrorizing of
some fifty impressionable girls. The
inhabitants: of Merion smoking room
were startled to learn at about eleven
o'clock that one of the’ seniors was
A. W..0. L. They were not reassured
some twenty minutes later when they
heard blood-curdling screams from
Senior Row, screams which increased
in: volume and fear until it was evi-
dent that the author was approaching
the -hall as fast as possible. The
warden was hastily summoned and
she courageously opened the door to
admit the aforesaid senior, _ still
screaming and obviously demoralized
to the point of lunacy. The most
coherent thing she could say or shriek
was “He’s killing her!” Someone
suggested a roll-call and. students
were called from their rooms, if in-
deed there were any not already hud-
. dled in the smoking room or tending
the vociferous senior. The fire cap-
tain in a shaking voice called the roll
and it was found that one important
junior was missing: The senior was
just intelligible enough now to con-
firm the horrid suspicion. The
wheels were set in motion for the
searching of the campus and a nurse
was summoned from the Infirmary.
There was some comfort in knowing
that Joe was “out there” between the
Terror and the hall, but as the min-
utes passed with no sign of rescuers
or rescued in any condition whatever,
Merionites grew more and more cer-
tain that ‘The Worst had happened.
Words can hardly picture the grow-
ing despair, nor enumerate the num-
ber of matches which were needed
by trembling fingers to light one
soothing. cigarette, nor the ounces
which were lost in the anguish of that
half hour.

It was not until the. murdered girl
was found: wandering cheerfully about
the hall in bath-robe and slippers that
the seniors and the warden (not to
mention the nurse) broke down and
confessed that it was only a joke,
concocted for every fourth Hal-
lowe’en by the senior class then
resident in Merion. The amount of
mental and physical work which was
expended on the prank this year was
of such vast proportions.that it would
have written a dozen ‘honors reports.
There is no possibility of knowing
the wear and tear on the nerves of
the underclassmen.

The excitement outside Merion con-
tinued long after the shrieks were
buried inside the hall. It may be re-
membered that the night was damp;
certainly the kidnapped junior will
not soon forget the half-hour she
spent crouching beneath the dripping
foliage which decorates the terrain
immediately surrounding Merion. Her
embarrassment was considerably in-
creased when a flashlight illuminated
her countenance, and she found some
half-dozen undergraduates of the
University of Pennsylvania gazing

Students Enjoy Work
At Community Center



The Community Center started off
with a bang this year, with .over
twenty freshmen signing up for it on
their interest cards. Some are very
anxious to go and were very genuinely
disappointed when told they could not
help till after mid-years. Reports
come in from enthusiastic upperclass-
men who have set out rather doubt-
fully, feeling very self-sacrificing, but
who have come back from: “really
loads of fun,” as they term it.

This year two afternoons a week
(three when schedules permit it) two
girls go together to the Center, either
by bus or by bicycle. Miss Flander’s
successor meets them at the door. She
is a very efficient and capabie person
who, before taking charge at Haver-
ford, was a social worker in Philadel-
phia tenements.
the college girls is very much needed,
as she is alone with only one helper
to take care of all the children. The
Center is now being organized in such
a way that going to it will be a pleas-
ant experience for the college girls
as well as for the community chil.
dren. Small clubs of about eight or
ten members are being started under
the leadership of two volunteers from
Bryn Mawr. A Dramatic Club has
already given an interpretation of
Cinderella; and the two officers of the
club have been treated to a special
production of an exciting play about
shipwrecks off the coast of Louisiana.
A Cooking Club and an Art Club are
also. being considered; but so far the
weather has been too fine for any
indoor activities, so baseball and other
athletic games have gained great
favor.

The Bryn Mawr girls go in shifts
which are arranged in such a manner
that each student goes to the Center
once every two weeks for one hour
and a half. They really accomplish
something since the children love to
have “Teachers,” as they say, come
front
life which is so different from the one
they lead. After school they come to
the Center, families of three and four,
because their fathers and mothers are
still at work. Those who are too
young to help would be hastily packed
off to bed by their tired parents; the
others would be kept up to do house-

Mr. Rowley has been again to China
for further study and for the pur-
chase of many new originals, some of
which he brings. with him to this

Leary has done in putting through the
tuberculin tests.- Men’s colleges have
given these before, but Bryn Mawr
leads women’s colleges in thorough-
ness (employes as well as. students
were tested), and in. the care with
which the tests were followed up. | Dr.
Hatfield also praised the bio-chemical
work of Dr. Florence Seibert, . who
prepared Dr. Leary’s injections. Dr.
Seibert is assistant professor of bio-
chemistry at the University of Penn-

bio-chemists in the country, and her
products are the best in the field. Dr.
Hatfield concluded, “Dr. Seibert seems
to us a very distinguished illustration
of the success of women in scientific
pursuits, a field in which Dr. Sabin
has shown such splendid leadership.”

OUS GOLFERS SAY

CRAIG WOOD (right) —Tommy
Armour—Helen Hicks—Gene
Sarazen — Bill Mehlhorn — Denny
Shute —Willie Macfarlane!

Their names sound a roll call of
tense moments that have made golf-
ing history, when prime “condi-
tion” and healthy nerves were at a
premium. All are outspoken in their
preference for Camels.

“Camels are so smooth and mild

‘ they never affect my wind,” says
Craig Wood, pictured at the right
as he paused to smoke a Camel.
Willie Macfarlane adds: “Camels
are mild. They don’t get my wind.”
Miss Helen Hicks brings up the
feminine viewpoint. ““There’s a del-
icacy of flavor in Camels that ap-
peals to women. Camels never inter-
fere with one’s wind.” And Denny
Shute says: “I switched to Camels
| years ago. I smoke them constantly,
without upsetting my nerves or dis-
turbing my wind.”

You'll Like Their Mildness Too!

Such experiences with Camels can
be matched right among your own
friends. You'll like Camels too.
Camels are made from costlier to-
baccos. They never tire your taste.

Sots! YOU CAN

SMOKE ALL YOU WANT














COSTLIER
TOBACCOS!

@ Camels are made from finer,

than any other popular brand.

_ In every-day life, physical fit-

mess plays a big part too,
Life’s more fun when you feel
good. So mark what cham-
pions and star athletes say:
Camels don’t get their wind
and don’t ruffle their nerves.
That's real mildness. Try
Camels yourself, and share
in the enjoyment of Camel’s
mellow, flavor that means so
much to others. _

Miss Lake Contrasts
Greek, Roman Theatre

Taylor Hall, November 11.—-Speak-

ing before students in the Latin De
partment, Miss Agnes K. Lake dis-
cussed the development of drama ‘in
Greece and Rome. There were basic
differences ‘between the origin of the-
atrical art in the two countries. ‘In
Greece it arose from the celebration
of festivals which usually took place
in some public spot, such as_ the
threshing floor, while the audience sat
on the side of a nearby hill. In Rome,
although the drama arose likewise
from the observing of a festival, the
actual theatre was different, ‘since
the Romans did not gather around a
threshing floor, but around a special
stage set up for the purpose.. They
remained standing because the Ro-
mans felt that it was sacriligious to
sit down at the theafre.
- In Greece, the primitive plan of
sitting on. a hillside. soon gave’ way
to that of seats hollowed out in the
hall.~ Then gradually these were re-
placed by marble benches as the the-
atre grew more formal. At ‘first the
drama was very simple and the actors
were few in number. With the desire
for changes in clothing and for the
expression of more complicated
themes, the need arose for a retiring
room and for a bigger stage. Danc-
ing was always an important part of
the Greek drama, and the number of
dancers increased as the plots became
more complicated. ' Then these, too,
had need of a retiring room. Thus
arose the permanent stage building
back of the orchestra’ and the pro-
scenium where the action took place.
Attention began to be payed to the
background against which the acting
occurred. ing containing three doors was erect-
ed, which represented the palace.















The next important change was the
development of a two-story building.
This effect was achieved by roofing in

‘the proscenium and putting pillars ‘in

front: of it. Above the proscenium

-was a higher level which represented

the second floor of the stage. The the-
atres at Syracuse, Delphi and Toar-
mina in Sicily are excellent examples
of the best type of Greek theatres.

The arrangenient of a Roman the-
atre was bound to be different, be-
cause of the audience’s. prejudice
against being seated. The actors had
to be raised up on a platform in order
that the spectators might see the
action. Thus, from the beginning,
the main accent was on the stage, not
on the amphitheatre.

The first stone theatre was built by
Pompey the Great in 65 B. C. From
the, remains, of this building the es-
sential outlines of a typical Roman
theatre can be discerned. There were
three levels of arches forming the
stage, and facing it were three rows
of seats. The theatre at Pompeii had
two walls in the front between which
there was a trough. The curtain
dropped into this space. There were
niches of various shapes in the front
wall in which ‘statues and ornaments
were placed. Elaborate backdrops
were developed for some of the Roman
stages,



Fashion Show on Thursday

Undergraduates will model at a
fashion show of sportswear from
Kitty McLean’s shop on Thursday
afternoon, November 14. Everyone is

invited to the Common. Room at half- |

past four, when tea will be served.
Kitty Gribbel, Bryn Mawr, ’34, who
is working with Kitty McLean in the
village, will be in charge of the show.
Miss McLean has generously offered
to give a percentage of all sales which

she makes at this time to the Drive.

, Campus Notes A

In the homage volume of Italica
dedicated to Profgssor-emeritus
Charles H. Grandgent, of Harvard
University, Bryn Mawr has the dis-
tinction of being the only college rep-
resented by a woman among the con-
tributors..Miss Lograsso’s article on
Piero Maroncelli, based on evidence

the Bibliotheque Nationale Department
des Manuscripts, corrects some of the
‘erroneous judgments pronounced on
Maroncegalli .by P. Ilario Rinieri, S, J.,
the noted biographer of Silvio Pellico,
to. whom this information was not
available.



In the next few weeks the sixth and
final volume of the Collected Papers’ of
Charles Saunders Peirce will be pub-
|lished, and with it Dr. Paul Weiss

reoneludes his work:as an editor of the



{late logician’s work. The publication |

|of the six volumes was begun in 1931

‘and includes one work on general
philosophy, three volumes of mathe-
matics and logic, and one volume on

pragmatism, which “Peirce ‘initiated

and which is America’s signal contri-
‘bution to philosophy. In this sixth
-volume are included a number of dis-
;eussions of modern _— philosophical
| problems which, altheugh begun over
thirty years ago, strikingly antic_pate
current views, particularly with _re-
| gard to the nature and variability of
scientific’ laws.. Among other stimu-
lating questions with which this final
