The Golden Rule

Among the blessings which we enjoy at Bryn Mawr is the extreme-

under college jurisdiction. Even with the recent widespread move-
ment for more complete student government in colleges, we can not
help but realize that our system of Self-Government is more completely
under the control of student-elected officers, than the governments of
a great many colleges. Furthermore, there is no doubt that Bryn

Mawr has the most lenient regulations of all the women’s colleges. The}:

Self-Government rules and regulations are intended to provide an
intelligent system for the convenience and safety of the students and
the maintenance of the reputation of the college.

Obviously a college needs some system of rules, whereby its stu-
dents’ activities may be regulated and whereby the college can keep
irack of its students; the second purpose of any college rules regard-
ing conduct must be, to guard the reputation of the college, as well
as the reputation of individual students. These necessary restrictions
are based upon the assumption that the students in college are intelli-
gent enough not only to take care of themselves, but to act in accord-
ance with the rules of the college, Of course, it is impossible to formu-

situation that may confront a student. Any college that is so liberal
as to allow complete student self-government, expects the student to
act intelligently in an unusual situation, so comporting herself that
she not only considers her own personal safety and reputation, but”
realizes the necessity for safeguarding the reputation of the college. |

Since the revision of the Self-Government regulations last year,
our student government organization has worked very efficiently to
accomplish the dual purpose of keeping irreproachable, so far as
our outside critics are concerned, the reputations of both the college
and of the individual student. The board co-operates with the admin- |
istration to accomplish this; but at the same time it acts entirely
independently of the faculty and administration in making its final
decisions. The fairness and logic of the system is obvious: in acting
with the welfare of the college at large before it, the board is accom-
plishing the purpose of any kind of government; in judging students
independently it provides the fairest judgement possible—that of stu-
dents of the same age, who know from experience the problems that
frequently confront other students.



The Fur-Lined Shroud

The wintry blasts are with us once again, as, we believe, you will
seareely have failed to notice. The long, bleak stretches of the wintry
days and the even longer and bleaker stretches of the wintry nights,
loom large before our apprehensive eyes. Already our noses, fingers,
toes, and, in fact, practically all of us is beginning to ache at the
thought of the early hours of. those numerous mornings, when a dank
chill settles upon the smoking room, and all that is visible of our
beloved comrades through the frost is a blue hand emerging from a



battling bravely with the ice floating above each bent head. We are
at last reconciled to the-perversity of an authority which has decreed
that, even should the temperature fall below zero before Thanksgiving,
no fire-may be lighted in the halls or smoking rooms, and vice versa,
even should the temperature hit 90 in the shade after Thanksgiving,
the fire must go steadily on through the heat waves. But we are not
reconciled to the thought of the ‘chilly suffering which lies before us,

bating it.
This very day we intend to invest in fourteen sets of red flannel

least two sets, should one prove insufficient. We are buying a non- -skid
fountain pen guaranteed not to slip through mittened fingers, a fur-
med case for the feet with a specially constructed ‘stove that heats,

pairs of Dr. Denton’s sleeping suits, and a pair of ear-muffs stuffed
‘appearing in a fur-lined head shroud, somewhat similar to those

MOONBLIGHT DISSONATA

The moon was agog, as she heard
through the fog
The strains of a runic round
That rose through the pall over re Tay:

In a whirlpool of chaotic std.
The stars did shiver, the clouds were |
a-quiver
With harmonies not as such,
And even the sun, sleeping after his
run,
Was waked by the lightsome touch |



Of girlish voices—not the best
choices—
Trying the wintry airs,
With a lusty shout that spread all
about
Like a fan from those on the
stairs,

The night was perplexed, nay, even
vexed,

When its calm was so shattered by

But the sun just said, as he slid into!

‘Lecture Recital Given
By Mr. Guy Marriner



Continued from neers Oné

Victorian era of punctiliousness, prud-
ery, and love of tradition, which killed
the originality of the English musical
genius for a century and a half,
Johann Sebastian Bach, born in
1685, exerted an amazing influence
on music by developing all the forms
of instrumental music in a new and
independent way. His enormous out- >
put in every field was dominated by
the idea of unity and by his own ti-
tanic personality. Bach’s natural cre-
ative principle is the conception of
counterpoint, the “art of combining
melodies,” where every voice is treated
in an independent line. Bach con-

ceives voices over against each other,
jand weaves them into a harmonious
| wihcle obedient to the laws of strict
‘counterpoint.

The fugue is polyphonic and archi-
|tectonie, but displays an astounding
‘inward musical life. Developed ac-
cording to strict counterpoint, its nec-
iessary parts are: subject, answer in
‘a rumber of voices, counter subject,
and stretto or binding of the parts —
together. The fugue is the most elab-
orate musical form, but Bach never
sacrifices poetic beauty for technical
ingenuity.

Bach so far transcended the music
and instruments of his time. that his
music has been transcribed by nearly
all great composers since his time.
Transcriptions that enlarge on the
original are the work of nature, but
it is decadent. and distasteful to popes

- Bach’s music is both puredir cau
cal and romantic. In the fugues it is
the ideal of pure music, but all his
music expresses poetic plastic ideas —
and emotions, as does all true music.
