Her Art Combination of Brilliant Rhythmic and Dramatic Effects

Produced Through Bodily Power and Forceful

‘.- Personality.’



Mary Wigman, of the Mary Wigman-
Schule, Dresden, presented a: program of
dances ‘in Goodhart Hall February. 25.
The dancing of Mary Wigman is creative
art: it is the production of brilliant
rhythmic and dramatic effects through
bodily power and a forceful. personality.
Her technique has~far richer potentiali-
ties than the more intrinsically “natural”
Duncan dancing and though it suggests
Oriental influence it is on a much higher
intellectual plane.

Mary Wigman’s dances are not musical
interpretations, but creations completetf7

cacy of a “Pastordl&’. suggests latent

by the muscular vigor and the decisive-
ness_.implicit —in- Mary -Wigiman’s—tech-
nique. But though many of the dancer’s
set positions approach the grotesque, they
seldom seem truly inartistic.. Her body
is too much of a mechanism to give way
to bacchanalian abandon, but a. veritable
crescendo and diminuendo is achieved
through the continuity of her movements.

Me. Willoughby and Choir
Give Excellent Program



The musical service held in chapel
last Sunday evening afforded an oppor-
tunity which is as valuable as it is rare.
The religious music of the sixteenth
afid seventeenth. centuries reaches
heights unattained in any other period,
with the possible exception of that of
Gregorian Chant. Despite its intensely
devotional quality and consequent fit-

‘ness for church services, this music is

seldom heard; congregations are served
instead with Gounod and_ Stainer,
among others even less appropriate and
appealing. When a choir, therefore,
presents such a program that. of
Sunday ‘night, and renders it so effec-
tively, one cannot but be encouraged
and_ delighted.

as

Palestrina’s “Tenebrae Factae Sunt”
was the first of the great works offered.
The dramatic intensity was well sus-
‘tained, as in the anguished cry “Deus
quidquid derelequisti?” as
was the terrifying weirdness so appro-
priate to the subject. The chgir's in-
terpretation of “Adoramus Te, Christe”
again impressed one with the complete
unworldliness of Palestrina’s music,
and with his closeness to perfection,
which,. as. Cecil Gray. says, is the -re-
sult of exclusion and refinement. It
is interesting to note the contrast. be-
tween him and his great. contemporary
in Spain, whose “Jesus, the Ver¥

meus, me

‘Thought of Thee” and “O Vos Omnes”

were the next presentations of the choir.
Vittoria, although ‘as a man far more
of a mystic than Palestrina, is less so
in his music. Great emotional inten-
sity, even when it is the result” of
religious exaltation, brings. one closer
to the profane world, with its dynamics
of joy and sorrow. In William Byrde,

The former was a brilliant expression
of the vitality of the living being. The
latter was a tour de force - of whirling

than ever to be an exquisite mechanism.
A rather conventional thouglr charming

type of dancing was seen in the. Pastorale
and tha Summer Dance. The simple lit-
tle idyll of the reclining shepherdess was

composed -solely by the undulating move-

graceful but inconsequential. The Sum-

than usual, feeding Totten under the

together fairly well but their passing
was nong too good. . Remington, dur-

chest passes at the opposing guard,

However, they should pick up with
more opposition.

of the system of honor points which
was substituted for the system of nu-
merical grading eight years ago, and
to make~ recommendations to the
method of awarding such degrees in
the future. This committee found that
there had been a considerable increase
in the number of honors degrees given
since the change in the system, and
their report further indicated that no
such accurate gauge of the excellence
of a student’s work could be made
under a literal system of grading as
by means of numerical averages.

To quote from the report:

“Since all the members of the fac-
ulty, except perhaps four, add plus or
minus to their literal grades# the com-
mittee feels that a majority of the fac-
ulty desires to grade the students’ work
more closely than is at present pos~
sible. The faculty is already using
twelve groups of grading between 60
and 100, but the students are not get-
ting the benefit of these gradations;
and any system of honor points on a
basis of twelve groups would be very
complicated.”

The explanation for these distinc-
tions int marking which had no recog-
nition under .the system of honor
points is probably as follows. In at-
tempting to give a fair estimate of a
student’s work in a_ single coursé,

e@Warding due weight to recitations

tions, most members of the faculty
found some method of mathematical
calculation indispensable. The plus and
minus must, in most cases, : have
marked a’ real numerical distinction
-which could not be. expressed under
_ the literal system of grading. Since it
is obvious that there is a greater gap
between 70 (“M”) and 78 (“M_ plus”)
than between 78 and 82 (“C”), this
form of grading in which the faculty
used twelve groups, only four of which
were taken into account at the final
reckoning of honor pgints, was scarcely
fair to the students.
‘The reason for giving any grades,
‘whether numerical: or literal, is that

The largest number of volumes, 2070,
were added in the literature classes,
followed by history and biography with
1176 volumes, then economics, and
sociology with 749 volumes, the sci-
ences with 502 volumes, art with 470

ceived during the period of this. report.
The largest gift was the library of
Mr. Horace E. Scudder, editor of the
Atlantic Monthly from 1890-98, which
came to us from Mrs. Ingersoll Bow-
ditch, class- of 1901._There were 2410.
volumes of which 1150 were used for
the library. The collection included
editions of most of the standard works.
of English literature, a great deal of
American literature of the late nine-
teenth century and many volumes of
biography and American history. Some
of the editions are “firsts” and presen-
tation copies and many are the best
editions is published of a particular work.
Other gifts of books came from Miss
Emily R. Cross, 01; Mrs. Anna Robe-
son Burr and several of the alumnae.



The catalog department of the li-
brary was kept busy with the current
accessions and gifts, and in addition
small catalogs were made for. each
hall library; 17,663 cards were added
to the main catalogue and 3046 cards
were made for department and hall
libraries.

The work of the circulation and ref:
erence desk varies little from year to
year but it continues to increase; 38,194
volumes were charged from the desk,
an increase of 16,130 volumes in excess
of that reported in 1920. These figures
would be greatly enlarged if it were
possible to keep a récord of the num-
ber’ of books circulated from the ré-
serve book room, the hall libraries and
the science libraries of Dalton Hall.
Of the total circulation 9725 vol-
umes, or 25 per cent., were put on re-
serve, the students drew 53 per cent.
and@ the faculty and staff 22 per cent.

Literature is the most popular sub-
ject with a circulation of 15,959 vols.,
followed by history with 3753 vols.

sociology and education, come next
‘with a circulation of 2670 vols. Art,
with 1832 vols., philosophy and psy-
chology with 1203 vols., religion and
church history with 1032 vols.

During the year we borrowed 216
vols. from other libraries and loaned
46 vols.

The unusual freedom which. is_al-
dJowed in the use of the books in the
library results, naturally, in displace-
ment and a book out of place is tem-
porarily lost. Such a book is gener-
ally not found until a thorough read-
ing of the shelves which can only be
done during the summer months. A
certain numbér of books are also lost
because taken’ uncharged, an abuse of
the privilege of the library which is
-serious but which is an incident of our
policy of free access to the shelves. No:
means for dealing with this problem
has as yet been evolved. Of the miss-
ing books listed in the inventory three
years ago, many have been found and
the final losses are not untsual for the
open shelf plan, the educational advan-
tages of which far outweigh the

faculty met on Miss Gertrude Ely’s in-
vitation and that of the Undergraduate
AsSociation at Miss’ Ely’s house ,across
the way from Pembroke West to hear
Mr, Edward Carter speak. - His subject
wasethe Institute of. Pacific Relations,
of whose American Council he is hon-
orary secretary.. The lecture -was an
informal one, interrupted with .ques-
tions.and. conversation and.followed by
‘excellent things to eat, all very pleas-
ant.

The Institute of Pacific Relations’
most enthusiastic supporters, Mr. Car-
ter said, class it with the League of

groups. In these groups there are no
speeches and no resolutions or other

reserve the right to grow, to change
their minds.

The 1925 ‘conference, coming after

concerned with this question. Nothing

commerce and so on. A_ noticeable

change of attitude in the West where’

feeling was very hostile has been seen.

In the sécond, 1927, conference
Britain’ was represented to discuss with
China the question of trade. British
goods were being boycotted in reaction
to an abandoned British foreign policy:
Chamberlain had stated radical changes
in the British China policy but they
were not known to the Chinese. The

To sug-

when millions of them are unemployed,
according to Kimball, is like telling a
inan to defend himself after he has’
been knocked flat.

According to this authority, the pres-
ent “business slump is remarkable for
the absence of that general attitude. of
hopeless: resignation--which_has_char-
acterized depression periods in the past.
A flood of suggested cures for indus
trial depression has appeared, ranging

all the way from every con@eivable
type of governmental aid to miscel-
laneous private and .personal efforts.
The. majority, of these _suggestions,
however, have been merely of a pallia-
tive nature, instead of being designed
to prevent the recurrence of such eco-
nomic disasters in the future. These
temporary measures, such as outright
charity relief, the reduction of working
hours, the maintenance. of working
forces and of wage levels, and the use
of private and public moneys for carry-
ing-on” building construction..,..and
similar “projects; @eserve serious con-
sideration as common-sense methods
of supplying employment until industry
again becomes active. Yet a serious
difficulty, as far as the use of State and
Federal funds is concerned, lies in the
amount of “red tape” that must appar-
ently be gone through before such
funds can be made available.

The. real _ problem. for..the future,
Kimball believes, is not the cure but
the prevention of business depression.
The,principal contribution of the al-
ready. voluminous -literature--on~ the
subject of business fluctuations has
been to identify the probleni as oné of
A constant threat of po-
tential—overproduction is -a “condition
which is becoming increasingly evident
in many lines of business. The produc-
tion of goods, as a result of years of
scientific study of production problems
by professionally trained men, is now
on a sound and well-ordered basis.
But this same _ perfection of the
processes of making goods has shown
in strong relief the’ present imperfec-
tions of the processes of distributing
them. It is not too much to hope that
a more scientific spirit in distribution.
fostered by professional training in
business, will come to supersede our
present empiricism and -guess-work
methods, and eventually lead us out of
the existing muddle of the distribution
problem.

works on industrial enginecring and

slowly been altered, until today the first
question asked a college graduate. apply-
ing. for a position is “In what quarter
of your class did you graduate?” Upon
his position in his class, the relative ex-
cellence of that quarter and the standing
of his Alma Mater depend the amount of
attention paid his application. Of course,

, other characteristics are carefully noted.

To those who possess in addition to good
scholarship an attractive and pleasing
personality and the ability to lead others,
obviotisly falls preference.

It is interesting to note how the im-
portance of a good scholastic standing
has become more and more evident to
undergraduates in American colleges ‘and
universities. In a regent vote at Am-
herst 80 per cent. of the senior class
cherished the Phi Beta Kappa key above
any other honor. Time and again the

-where-overwhelming majorities have sig-
nified their preference for the key over
the varsity “Y.”

A study of the past classes of any
college will reveal the fact that a large
percentage of men who are eminent today
were high in scholastic attainments while
at college.

In the light of these and other experi-
ments, it is-evident that today it is not
the rah-rah boy or the college hero who
makes the most after. college, but the
man who. takes his work seriously ‘and
attains prominence in his studies—N. S.
