Arbitration through co-operation was
the subject on which Dr. William Leiser-
son, of Antioch, spoke in Taylor on

‘Wednesday evening, November 30. Dr.|,

Leiserson began by sketching the history
of labor’ economics.

“Toward the end of the last century,
when: students first began to study this
question, they spoke of the labor problem.
They had the conception of two forces,
capital and labor, between which fric-
tion developed. Following out this. me-.
chanical analogy they thought that if
only you could find a single remedy
everything would go on well. But: the
more they studied the more they saw
how complex the situation was and that
there are not one, but. many labor prob-
lems, There must be a solution for
each. The conception’ was now of social
~ evils or abuses. The fallacy ‘of this is
that for instance, a strike may be a posi-
tive benefit from the point of view of the
workman, but from that of the employer
it is an abuse. It was soon ‘discovered,
too, that each new remedy brings its evils
as when Taylor found that working men
struck against scientific management,
which was to be the perfect panacea.

News from Russia

Miss Park Tells of Break Be-
tween Two Wings of
— Soviet.





The recent melodramatic news from
Russia was the subject of -Miss Park’s
speech in chapel,, Monday, December 5.
The celebration of the tenth anniversary
of the Soviet Government has coincided
curiously with the definite break in the
relationship of the two wings of the
Soviet party. The anniversary was
marked by the summing up of the Soviet
experiment throughout Europe, and a
great celebration, including both military
and civic displays. Besides these two
events, the startling statements made by
‘the Russian delegates to the Geneva
Conference have made everyone else un-
comfortable, as no one had considered
going as far as these delegates have.
Radicals Gained Power ,
On the seventh of November, 1917,
the first notice was given to the world
of the taking over of the government by
the ‘Left Wing of the Kerensky party.
This party had been in control for some
months and the usurping of the power
by one part of it was considered tem-
porary and worthy of little notice. How-
ever, with some trepidation, this party
continued to rule for four years. In
1921, seeming to have some solidarity
for the first time, it ventured to make a
great. change. This change was consid-
ered in some quarters as a sign of weak-
ness; in others, a sign of strength.
Lenin, although. purely communistic
in belief, realized that his government
co not succeed in a non-communistic
world without some sort of compromise.
He felt that a change of policy was
necessary and that he had enough
strength for it. The change was made.
It entailed a going-backward from the
original communistic plan; private trade
was permitted within the state, and was
both permitted and protected with other
~ nations; and many government monopo-
lies were given up. ‘This change was
never approved by Trotsky, and other
men of the old party.

Potential May Queens Parade
Before Critical Crowd in
Gymnasium.

The great college beauty parade toox
place in the gym on Tuesday, December
6, when the candidates fox May queen
were exhibited in all their/glory..Thirty-
four of them, there wefe, all vision of
loveliness clad in gowns “long, loose and
light.” Statistics compiled at the event
may be of interest. Blondes, of course,
predominate—not only “gentlemen” pre-
fer them, it seems—there were 23
blonde, 10 brunette, and one red, heads.
As to classes, 14 of these beauties were
Freshmen, 10 were Sophomores, 6 Jun-
ors and only 4 Seniors; which goes to
“show that wisdom and beauty do not go
hand in hand.

Naimes for Mailing List.

After some preliminary “singing they
enter, in-a dazzling mass, to the strains
of “God bless them, they need it,” and
were grouped on the platform facing the
curious crowd. With all this beauty as-
sembled at her feet, Mrs. Collins was
forced to speak, on the less artistic side
of May Day—the financial situation. She
urged the co-operation of the student
body, in arranging the mailing and pa-
troness lists. She then said that at the
last May Day, the undergraduates show-
ed a remarkable spirit, in spite of the
dismal fact of rain. “I hope,” she added, |
“that you will show the same spirit, but |
I hope to heaven it won’t be from the |
same cause.” In choosing the queen, she
emphasized the publicity value of that
character. “It is by means of her photo-

Exhibits in New Museum
Placed Chronologically

A new museum is being built in Phila-
delphia, or rather the Pennsylvania Mu-
seum is moving into a new building and
assembling its exhibits which, through
lack of space, have been scattered. The
same building will house others of the
city’s’ famous collections.

The arrangement of the new museum
is on an interesting plan. On the principal
exhibition floor will be shown a selec-
tion of the finest works of painting and
sculpture, which everyone wants to see.
They will be found in a series of gal-
leries ranged in historic order and ac-
companied by the furniture and objects
of their time. By following only the
main street of the Museum, the visitor
will retrace the pageant of European |
art from the time of Christ onward to
the most vitally modern of contempo-
rary work, or, in Asia, from the austere
beginnings in India and China down to|
the last flowering of ed — art of
Japan.

For the specialist there is to be ranged
on the floor below, the multitude of
minor objects in porcelain, glass, metal,
textiles, prints and other specimens of
which only the finest have been taken for
display in the period galferies. Here
there will be opportunity to examine,

Exhibition Series

Modern Painters Featured in

Mrs. Hinchman.





\ Bryn Mawr .is to have exhibits in
Wyndham of the work of the modern

‘Lpainters for periods of three weeks. This

wonderful good fortune is being made
possible by the interest of .Mrs. Russell
Hinchman, who is giving a great deal of
time to arranging with dealers and_paint-

‘ers for material for the, exhibits.

It will be possible to have almost any-
one for whom the college expresses a
prediliction, since the dealers are anxious
to co-operate. At present the exhibition
is of Degas and Mary Cassatt. In the
‘succession throughout the year, one
group will stay until the next comes.

Plans «are being made whereby the
painters of the group on exhibit are to
bé given teas, where they can talk in-
formally about their work.

Art Club Welcomes Exhibition

The Art Club is naturally very much
interested in this project. One of its
officers made this statement about how
much it means to them: a

“Our drawing and painting is enor-
mously valuable to us.'as a means of
creative expression, but it is almost as
necessary for us to have the stimulus of
seeing great works of art as it is for the
music students to hear good music. Very
few of us are able to get to New York
and even if we could, we would not be
able to make the careful study of the
technique and style of different painters
which an hibition on the campus af-
fords us.

“Not only is the student who actually
draws to be ‘considered, the value to
her is obvious, but there is also the stu-
dent who has no abilitysin working with
her hands and yet who has a keen ap-
preciation of art. In still another group
belongs the third class of undergradu-
ates, the large body of people who
say, “I know what I like when I see
it.’ Part’ of the ambition of the Art
Club is to interest this type of student
in art, and it seems to us that the series
of exhibitions of all kinds of painting
will do this more effectively than any-

thing else could.”

Youth Not Joyous!

Solution to Undergraduate
Unhappiness Seen in
Friendship.
Josephine Young, 28, spoke in the
chapel service, Sunday, December 4.

“There is more unhappiness on a col-
lege campus than anywhere else in the
world,” said Miss Young, quoting a
previous speaker. “This. may be some-
what exaggerated, but jn general it is
true. The sources of the difficulty are
several. In the first place, all college
students, on entrance, make an abrupt
break with their previous environment.
They feel their independence for the
first time and are apt to carry it to an
extreme. In the second place, the aver-
age student enters college at a time
when, if she remained home, she would
be shouldering some of the responsibility
of the home. In college, although it is
expected of her, she is all too apt to
forget her responsibility.

Trials of College Life

“The difficulty is that life in, a col-
lege, due to the great proximity, is an
intense one. A few people fit in well,
but the greater number find themselves
at first-wholly unqualified as far as gen-
eral fitness is concerned. The outside
world laughs at this idea of unhappi-
ness. It looks upon youth as the joyous
element in life. The truth is, however,
that youth is very often bewildered and
miserable; not all of us, of course, but.
a very definite few.

“It would be impossible to rid our-



selves of this difficulty and unfortunate
if we could, for it vs ballast to our
lives. Some find sa tion in the pur-
suits of a schola ; they have the power

NOT MARRIAGE OR.
CAREER, BUT BOTH

Woman Faces Responsibility
to Her Family, to Society,
to Herself.

DO NOT BE A DOORMAT

The problem of marriage and career,
a subject much discussed and argued
over at present, is nothing but the top
of the scale of which the combination of
job and home life represents the bottom.

Mrs. Gilbreth, speaking on this topic
in Rockefeller Hall, Friday, December
2, elaborated this topic, giving illustra-
tions from her own home life.













“Don’t magnify your troubles,” she
said. “Every woman today has a triple
responsibility to face—to her family, to
society, and to herself. Even the baby
of a large family is not exempt from
responsibility.”

Reconcile Work with Home Life

_The difficulty of reéonciling your work
with your home life becomés more ap-
parent at the school and college age.
Some people make a success at this from
the beginning; others don’t chiefly be-
cause they dislike work. A cheerful
philosophy of work is essential to hap-
piness in home or job; without it dis-
couragement or failure are sure.

When various jobs are analyzed they
are fougd to depend on many points of
likeness: quick motion is as useful to a
housekeeper as to a typist; self-control
is important in any task. Physical health
is always an essential, and there is little
excuse today for the lack of it.

As to mental ability, tests have been
made on children and abnormals showing
that a mental age of eight is sufficient
to perform all the acts of housekeeping.
Therefore would it not be possible to

train children in cooking and sewing.

before they are eight, and the urge for
teaching household skills after collegé
could be abandoned? A young girl just
engaged is in no mood to learn house-
keeping—it is much easier to acquire it
earlier.

Some women devete themselves to
housekeeping because they have the

GOOD COLOR’ EFFECTS

That there is considerable talent in the
Freshman Class was revealed by their



show in the gym Saturday night, De-

“Sahara Error” was a surprise to those
who thought that the short time alloted
for preparation might prove an obstacle
in the way of achievement. Although
the lack of ‘rehearsals, evident through-.
out, detracted somewhat from the finish
of the whole, it resulted in an air of

informality,. and spontaneity, which is

the very essence of a “skit.”

S. S. Lunatica, was the least good. Not

Dining Car “Realistic”

The dining car on the African Express
defies descriptio. With realistic un-
steadiness the passengers lurched in,
while the waiter tottered from table to
table. All it needed was the smell of
cabbage to complete the illusion. No, we
take that back—nothing was needed.

it there were four excellent choruses, .
whose dances wete the more effective

ances were nicely interwoven with the
action of the scene. Before the temple
the great movie love scene was being
shot when it was interrupted by the entry
of a sheik and his lady, who were com-
petent to teach the actors much about
their trade. In a foreign but familiar
language these Arabs conversed, the
climax, and the clinch, coming after a
shout of “Elpis megale.” Then with a
cry of “Elpis my golly,” the sheik cap-

Democracy a Failure?

Bertrand Russell Calls Fail-—
ure a Comparative
Term.





Bertrand Russell, who is speaking in
Taylor on Saturday eVening, December
10, on a philosophical subject, has recently
given an interview which embodies his
ideas on democracy. Is democracy a
failure? is one of the subjects he has
been debating since he has been in this
country.

Mr. Russell says:

“Failure is a comparative term and,
when people say that ‘democracy is a
failure,’ presumably they mean that it has
not realized all that its ardent adyocates -
at one time hoped for—but, when one
compares it with any other form of Gov-
ernment which has actually been tried,
one observes that the two most successful
nations in the world—namely, America
and Great Britain—are firmly wedded to
it; certainly owe a portion of their suc
cess to it.

“Those who argue for some kind of
minority Government always.assume that
the minority which will get power will
be their own crowd, but it is just as
ee eee faction which

cut their heads off. Ifa system other
than democracy must be based upon mili-
tary force and is liable at any moment
to be upset by an ernie it is, ‘thiere~

THE MYSTERIOUS

IMPULSE

What is the instinct that makes
vevery reader of a public book add,
in crayon, pencil or red ink, her
notes, underlinings, and remarks, |
satirical or otherwise, to the many
of her predecessors? Is it simply
an imitative impulse, or is it be-
cause she is too lazy to take notes
on paper? Perhaps it is in desire
for fame because she has heard
‘that copies of Keats and Shelley

annotated by contemporaries are
of great value. Or, of course,
there is the possibility that she
thinks her comments _ witty
enough to be worth recording.

Whatever the reason may be,
one can hardly open a library book
_ without being annoyed and dis-
tracted by its mistreatment. The
underlining of certain passages
_ bothers the reader who thinks
another part more important,
while she finds herself uncon-
consciously trusting the judgment
of the previous marker. As for
satirical comments, which consist
chiefly of “Ha! Ha!’s” and “O do
you think so’s”, their brilliance is
either too obscure, or too far above
_our feeble mentality. for proper
appreciation.

The worst outrage, however, is
when the personal volume of a
professor that he has kindly put
on the Reserve Shelf is mutilated

TWO CASES

Last month there appeared in
The New York World the story
of a man who, more than twenty
years ago, was convicted .of man-
slaughter and imprisoned. He
escaped almost immediately,
changed his name and his home,
and ‘has lived an honest life from
that time. Recently his daughter
became engaged to be married.
The father, impelled by his con-
science, told his prospective son-
in-law the story. The latter,

duty, reported the matter to the

gent interpretation of the law, the
case was dropped, the father
allowed to go free,the young man
reprimanded. Now another case,
essentially resembling this, "has
arisen. The captain of a rum-
runner, safely outside the twelve-
mile limit, was told of a lifeboat
full of exhausted sailors that. was
drifting about, somewhat. nearer
shore. Running the very definite
risk of capture by the coast guard
the captain nevertheless went to
the rescue. He was caught. Now
he and his men are up for commit
ment. We feel that the Judge in
this case might profitably follow
the example of his colleague.
Surely this is another opportunity

for the tempering of justice with]

intelligent mercy,

and Sophie Braslau, contralto, will be

soloist. .“Sophie Braslau was born in
New York city of Russian parents, All
of her education was received -in this
country, and. despite the popular ‘belief
that a European reputation is essential

to success in America, Miss Braslau was

firmly established here long before she
duplicated her American triumphs in Eu-
rope. She began to study the piano at
an early age, giving up the study of that
instrument when it was disaovered that
she had an extraordinary singing voice.
The development of her register was put
in the hands of Sibella, who coached and
taught her on ‘theory that her voice
was one of a pecutiar, older type—the
Alboni type of voice with its equalized
register. Miss Braslau joined the forces
of the Metropolitan Opera Company, and
one of her most striking appearances was
in the title role in Cadman’s ‘Shanewis,’
which she prepared in two days. Soon
after her operatic debut the concert stage
beckoned Miss Braslau, and since that
time she has appeared in recitals and with
orchestras throughout the country.”

‘Book Reviews
‘My Heart and My Flesh—Elizabethr
Madox Roberts; Viking Press. .
Although published’ little more ge a
year ago ater The‘ Time of M, of
author’s first novel, My es

boiler. It is unusual for a novelist to
follow up such a distinctive:and Widely-
acclaimed’ book’ with an equally good one
in'so’short’a time, But Elizabeth Madox
Roberts has cértainly done this. ‘

The scene is laid in a small town in
Kentucky and thé countryside around it.
The heroine, Theodosia Bell, Was a
normal childhood and seems to be well-
started toward happingss when. 4 series
of shocks disturb her existence. First
her mother, to whom she was very close,
dies. Then,*in going over some family
papers, she discovers that her father is
also the father of three mulattoes, one
of whom is’ half-witted, living in the
town. While this is still fresh in her
mind, and barely realized, the young
man she was going to marry is burned
to death. These horrors, together with
others entailed by them, drive Theodosia
into a delirious fever. ‘She emerges from
this with a mind delicately poised between
Sanity and insanity. She hears voices,
has vivid dreams; all values are distorted
for.her so that she all but starves to
death before she realizes it. Just in time,
it seems, she is saved from madness and
death by starvation, and is restored to
a normal, increasingly happy life. But
even then she occasionally reverts to her
old unhappiness. Suddenly the memory,
the realization of it almost overcomes her.
She is able to blot them out only by the
thought of the new love she has found.

The story is told with simplicity and
sympathy. Although the workings of
Theodosia’s mind are given in great de-.

feeling. While the beginning of the
book is, perhaps,ynot quite as absorbing
as The Time of Man, the last part more
than makes up for this deficiency. The
account of the heroine’s life as a coun-
try school teacher, the-folk among whom
she lives, their farms and their. beasts,
is beautifully told. The last paragraph
of the book is evidence of the author’s
peaceful, understanding manner, her per-
fect command of English:

“The leaves of the poplar tree lifted
and turned, swayed outward and all
quivered together, holding the night cool-
ness. The steps returned to the pasture,
going unevenly and stopping, going again,
restless. They went across the shollow
place and came back again ‘diward the
rise where the cows lay. They walked
among the sleeping cows, but these did
not stir for it was a tread they knew.”

The Lesser Fauna Come into
Their Own.
archy and mehitable, by Don Marquis.

ley.

Cats, cockroaches and snails have
achieved prominence, their activities cele-
brated in song and story. What delight-
ful creatures they are, when seen through
the eyes of Don Marquis and Christopher
Morley! Though widely different in in-



-words can describe her? $

tention and execution, archy and mehi-
table and I Know a Secret have this in
common, that they both depict’ humanized
animals, and they both have a cat as
chief character. But how different are
these two felines! Fourchette is the
comfortable suburban type that mehitable
despises; while mehitable what
is a rein-
carnation, a free spirit, “one) life up, the
next down, but always a lady through it
all, archy.” “Toujours gai,” that is her
motto, and whatever her circumstances

“there’s a dance in the old dame yet.”

Fourchette takes her maternal respon-
sibilities seriously, while mehitable, em-
barrassed with a family, answers all
queries with a bland “what kittens?”
archy and mehitable is an invigbrating
book, written by archy the cockroach on
Don Marquis’ typewriter. Since archy
éould not hit. more than one key at a
time, there are no capitals,, and very
little punctuation, but this only adds to.
the charm of the whole. Poetry and—

philosophy, and the doings of all archy’s |

associates comprise the subject matter
The poetry has a quality akin to Poe,

Alumnae Keep Interest
» See College as a Whole

“Few undergraduates realize the im-
portant part played by the Alumnae in
the college, and the interest they take
in it,” said Josephine Young, ’28, speak-
ing in chapel on Wednesday morning,
November 30. “I think it is difficult
for the undergraduate to visualize col-
lege as a whole; she sees only her own

small section. To the whole, the
Alumnae contribute as much as any other
group. |

“It was not until I attended the
Alumnae Council in Richmond two
weeks ago that I began to grasp this
fact. The Alumnae are intefested in all
minor details; they talk about every-
thing to do with college, and are deeply
concerned that everything should be as
good as possible.” ‘

Goodhart Hall Discussed

The first day of the conference was
taken up by business and discussion of
Goodhart Hall, in which the Alumnae
are intensely interested, as it is virtually
their gift. On the second day reports
were made by the District Councillors,
on the work that was being done by Bryn
Mawr Clubs in all parts of the country.
Then came reports from the various
committees, Academic, Scholarship, etc.
The interest in these reports, and the
heat with which they were. discussed,
was remarkable.

Besides the conference itself, __there
were any number of teas, dinners, and
lectures planned by the Richmond mem-
bers. The conference gave to all a won-
derful sense of college as a whole, and
of its importance in the country.



A Canadian Point of View

While bandits are playfilly testing the
police force of Chicago with machine-
guns, and the carpenters are busily en-
gaged in erecting new buildings on the
sites were polls were blown up in the
recent Chicago elections, Little Willie,
the Wonder-Mayor, is hastily supervis-
ing the washing of the mouths of Chi-
cago school children lest they be filled
with words of praise for John Bull and
his bulldog. *

Meanwhile the rest 6f the world looks
on and smiles at the childish antics of
Peter Pan, -who refuses to grow up.
Life’s comedies céntinue and a new jester
never fails to appear on the scene. This
time the stage has been set in Chicago.

The McGill Debating Society, how-
ever, seeing danger where others are but
amused, hastily convened the other night
and decided to cook Mayor Wiillie’s
goose, so that he might have it for
Christmas. A special invitation was hur-
riedly sent to one of the professors, who
never fails to appreciate a good joke, to
come and help with the cooking.

Before one of the largest gatherings
ever present at a meeting of this kind,
various prominent personages proceeded
to discuss poor, defenseless, Willie. One
even went so far as to claitn that Mayor
Willie was attempting to usurp the hon-
ored position of a great humorist, which
was held by the aforementioned profes-
sor. _Many and. varied, too, were the
arguments brought. forward by the
speakers and the discussion waxed warm
indeed. One went on to say that Ameri-
can bathhouses when first introduced
into England aroused much antagonism.

‘While this state of affairs was exist-
ing at this far-famed institution of
learning, namely, McGill University,

nations of the world with his comedy.
Poor! Poor! Mayor Willie of Chi-
cago, Illinois, alias one hundred per cent.

Wilson and Women

The recently, published life of Wilson
by Baker recalls the years he spent as a
teacher here at Bryn M . Mts. Helen’
Lovell Million, vin fellow here
at that time, sends this acgount of
her memory of him. :

a Wilson at, Bryn Mawr
The account of Wilson's experiences

at Bryn Mawr, as recorded th his letters, |
‘has, of course, interested all who knew

him there.

, eile some things should be pointed
out to the general reader to give a better
understantling of the situation.

He came “there at the close of a long
period of schooling without teaching ex-

Papa having never met with women |

willy, gree g and in a new institution

to start out with only freshmen,

set his Fellow and a possible grad-
uate student or two.

*It was therefore natural that he should

©! find the girls, though’ a brilliant bunch,

very immature.

But the Fellow? The first year it was
Lucy Maynard Salmon, A. B. and A. M.
of Michigan, writer of a book and
teacher of years of experience. The
Fellow the third year, Cora Agnes Ben-
neson,*of whom.he complains as diffi-
cult to “Dominate,” had A. B., A. M.
and LL. B. also from Michigan, and
had just returned from two years spent

‘in going around the world and studying

the laws and governments of. the coun-
tries visited. No wonder she seemed
to compare what he said with what she
had heard and to weigh it in her mind
as she was taught to do. _

The attitude: of Wilson toward the

women there was not peculiar to him. |.

Most of the professors were having the
same experience. They were fresh from
years of graduate study and had forgot-
ten what freshmen were like, and were
assigning to those young girls lessons
which no college class of men would
have tried to learn, with the result that
many of the girls, afraid to disgrace
their sex, worked until they broke down.

I did not recite to Dr. Wilson as my
fellowship was in one of the other de-
partments, but I found him very delight-
ful to chat with and had no idea he had
such a feeling toward the girls in his
classes. They probably did not take
everything so meekly as he supposed.
We were trained not to dispute our
teachers and kept some of our thoughts
to ourselves.

I remember one day he said to me (we
were not talking of suffrage, a subject
tabooed at that time): “The vote is not
a right;- but a privilege.’ I made no
reply, but thought, “You say, Dr. ‘Wilson,
that the vote is not a right. I suppose
you mean it is not a natural right. But,
if it be a privilege, there is a moral right
and wrong in the bestowal of a privilege
and, since the vote is the means whereby
we take part in our government, is it
right to give this privilege to one class
and not to another without clear and
sufficient reason?”

Afterward I remarked to Miss Benne-
son: “What do you think he would have
thought Tf I had said this:” She re-
plied: “He would probably have thought
you a crank.”

HELEN LOVELI, MILLION,
Fellow in Greek at Bryn Mawr, 1887-88.



Radicalism in Virginia

West Virginia has earned a place in
the hall of fame with Tennessee and
Chicago as a third great defender of
American ideals. Only now the complete
story of Kirby Page exclusion incident
has filtes#@d through, and in its entirety
it reads like an advertisement offering
for sale or trade the University of West
Virginia. In Ottober it was suggested
that Page, editor of the Wopld Tomor-
row, be invited to speak on the Mor-
gantown campus. The Religious Work
Council, consisting of the studept pastors
and Y. M. C. A, and Y. W. C. A. repre-
sentatives, decided that. it would be
unwise and unsafe to have Mr. Page at

the university. The Y. W. C. A., acting:

for itself, made arrangements to have
the forbidden speaker come anyhow, and
he was scheduled for two ‘addresses.

At once the military department got
into action. From the Reserve Officers’
Association they. had received materials
purporting to prove Kirby. Page a dan-
gerous radical, and if not an out-and-out
Red, at least a very pink-pink.. Besides,
Page is a conscientious objector. So the
R, O. T. C. took it upon itself to Jegis-
late for the university. It had no
difficulty in enlisting the: aid Of the
D. A: R. and the American Legion. With

such prominent citizenry applying the}

thumbscrews, President ‘Trotter: suc-

‘cumbed, and. announced to. the Y.. W.|.
€;.A.° that the campus was closed to]

Mr: Page. +

“That wasn't the end. A few faculty |

mated tind. pe



loud if a. State
university was to be censored by the
cafnpus ry, and chaperoned
: townspeople. A few students, loath to
place their faith even in a university
president, also thought equt loud. Two
of them invited Mr. Page to come and
Speak off the campus. He did, before a
fairly- large and interested crowd.

“The next day President ‘Trotter de-
clared..hims ~ boldly: and frankly, He
would bar the ca any speaker

toward whom there éxisted organized |,

opposition. He was not going ta have
any fights on his presidential hands, And
that ended the case so far as Mr. Trot-
ter is concerned. And that is the end

‘so far as the rest of the university is

concerned—unless the few students and
faculty members are willing to risk ex-
pulsion in order to do a little organized
revolting —New Student.



Intellectual Pastime .

All great intellectuals are reputed to
find relaxation in pastimes queer and
quaint. Some munch peanuts, while
others jump over chairs: Williams stu-
dents find diversion in, the popular maga-
zines, accotding to a survey of The
Record. Saturday Evening Post and
Cosmopolitan lead, with the other out-
casts from the quality group tagging
along. Both the quality magazines and
the “art” group are avoided by the col-
legians, Who steer a safe. middle course

Family Relations Important

The problem of family relations is very
important.’ The home includes all social
institutions and relations: it may be a
hospital, a school and a disciplinarian
institutiofi all at once. The art of living
with other people means more than just
being fond of them; it is a science that
must be carefully developed. »

Besides the home there is‘ the “career.
Every woman should have a job outside
her home. It keeps her interested in
outside things, prevents her from. be-
coming atrophied. The question of what
the career shall be is generally settled
after a girl is though college. More
and more jobs are opening to her, and
professional women are becoming aware
of the valué of part-time jobs, which
give splendid opportunity to the mar-
ried woman.

“Tt is important that training—at least |

undergraduate training—should be com-
pleted before marriage. But I’ would
never advise anyone to. miss a chance for
a happy marriage in. order to finish
college. a ;

‘Don't think, however, when you get
married that you must give up every-
thing to your husband and your home.
Every girl feels the urge to make a
doormat of herself, and horrible as that
is for her, it is much worse for the man.
A doormat is not good for man, woman,
or child—particularly child!”

Mrs. Gilbreth went ‘on to illustrate
from her own life. “I was fortunate in
marrying the right. sort of man,” she
said. “His mother had brought him’ to
think that a woman should be more than
a housekeeper. Although I was willing

Solution Is Friendship

The solution of the problem of col-
legé unhappiness. is friendship ; the sat-
isfaction of human_companiopship. ‘Not’
friendship based,” wholly on physical
attraction, nor yet whplly on the intel-
lectual side,. but a friendship based on
mutual giving and taking in happiness
rand misery. There is always the ques-

well; or shall I have a few intimate
friends with whom I share everything?
Both are dangerous; the perfect friend-
ship lies between the two. ’

“Friendship is no light ‘thing. The
days of sentimentality in regard to it
have vanished, but the fact still remains
that it is the greatest aid to happiness.
Those who have friendship must not
forget its value ; those who do not have
it must not look with scorn upon those
who do.”

between two abstract forces?
* ‘These human relations that. need ad-
‘ Pasting are, according to. Dr. Leiserson,
not between rich and poor* capitalist aud
employee, but between order-givers -and|

order-takers. “Tt makes .no difference

who owns the plant, the private capitalist,J

the® Government, or a soviet, as long as,

there are two psychologies, that of man-
ager and that of workman—you: have

culties. There is no ‘common sense’ of
what is right or what wrong. You find
most men want to be fair and honest—
_ their ideas of what is fai?’ and honest do
* not coincide.”

Dr. Leisergon illustrates his point by
quoting an industrial code ‘which “defiries
a fair wage as whatever labor can get
in the market, and it is fair for the
workman to get the highest the market
affords. It is equally fair for the em-
ployer to get the ‘lowest.” It seems ob-
vious to the latter that he should not
pay more ‘than jhis competitors are pay-
ing. “But the idéa to the wage-earner
who usually has a“family to support—of
letting his income vary with the market
doesn’t seem fair. Measure that vari-
epce in terms of more or less milk for
the babies and -you hae the ultimate ef-
fect of this system. ‘The older, quieter
men with families don’t kick so much
and consequently get lower ,wages than
the younger men’ who are in a positidA to
go on°strike.

What Constitutes Fairness?

“What is fair in a case like this? Dan-
iel is a Ukrainian who was discharged be-
cause of incompetency. He was a pocket-
‘maker .and for that you need flexible
fingers. : His seemed. as big as my wrist.
There was no doubt of the inferior qual-
ity of his. work. But he had been on
that job two and a half years and at this
trade for five in all. He had been brought,
into the industry when labor was scarce
and for five years his work had :been
foisted on the consumer. Now, when.
they could get rid of him, they did. His
work was inferior, true, but he had filled
a place for which the industry itself had
trained him in time of stress, and now
they were turning him out,

“Or in this case? John who had work-
ed as a cutter for 20 years was doing
poorer and poorer work. He was warn-
ed, then fired. He took his lunch fail
and went.to unien headquarters all day
because ‘it would kill my wife to know
I’d lost my job.’ Easy enough to say it
isn’t fair to the industry to keep idle and
poor workers on.”

Arbitration is a device for achieving
a combined sense of justice so both par-
ties will say “This is right and this is
We have our personal ethics
about stealing and cheating toward our
neighbors, but when the relationship is
that of seer and customer, they are
often discarded.

Trade associations fostered by the De-
partment of Commerce, with their codes
to which competitors in the same field
adhere, do away with unethical prac-
tices. These codes provide for an arbitra-
tion commission which decides issues on
the basis of this code. As the body of
decisions is built up, all disputants have
to do is to “call up the secretary of the
association and say, ‘what is the rule on
this case?’ The Stock Exchange is an
organization of this type. Last year
50 billion dollars’ Worth of business was
transacted there, yet not a sing‘e law
suit arose out of all this though there
must have been innumerable honest mis-
takes. The New York Clearing House,
which handled 320 billions. of dollars.
or the total wealth of the country, also
had none.

Labor disputes, are about wage: sca'es,
mistakes in pay, dischatges and disci-

line. A similar code of ethics should
worked out for these. “But this can’t.
happen until managers who deal with la-
bor recognize the right of labor to have
some say in making this code. If you

through collec otive bargaining you can in-
terpret it in a sensible way. The open
shop,.with its many separate and differ-
ent contracts, makes the development of
a proper code imposs’ble. The open shop
is encouraged by those who want to live
by their wits and sharp ‘practices and
don’t like standardization. By applyihg
the standard contract to particular cases
you build up a body of decisions, definite |}.
‘principles and rules.”

' Dr. Leiserson discussed ciel open” shop
further by saying that the old argument
that “everyone has a right to quit and a
right to fire,” that these rights are equal |
(as the Courts have ruled) “justifies the |
line in Tbsen’s Ehemy, of the People “a

pet is wren abowt 50.7 Res iteccpuas ~

ra--lie.”
er of 50,000 § fire one, man equal: the
right of that man to’quit? The proportion,
is a 50,000 Q one. To equalize matters the
whole ,50,000 would haye to quit.

We must realize that wage-earners are
a part of the industry—that they have the
same right to their. idea of what is fair
and. just as the empioyer.
dustry. can be attained oifty, through’ co-
operative’ arbitration.

Dr, Leiserson closed with an illustra-
tion of the clash of manager-employee
psychology. A. man had been discharged
for bad language and disrespect. When
asked the facts ofthe case the manager
said that he had seen ‘that the man did
not appear to be working and he had
walked over to him and said, “What the
hell are you doing?” The man replied,
“What the hell do youthink I am?”
“And,” said the manager, “I can’t let any
‘man who works for mg use language like
that.”
