Dorothy Pilley Talks
~On Mountain Climbs
Mountaineering a Safe nt
‘When.Care is Exercised, :
Says Devotee
ROPE TECHNIQUE VITAL
The Deanery, March 9.—‘‘Why do
people climb mountains?” asked Dor-
othy Pilley, (Mrs. I. A. Richards) in
her talk on Alpine mountaineering.
An experienced climber and a devotee
of the sport, Miss Pilley endeavored
to explain what she calls “mountain-
eering madness” by stories of her own
climbing adventures.
illustrated by slides.
Mountain climbing, contrary to the
common belief, is a comparatively safe
sport if care is exercised at all times
and rash climbs are not attempted.
A correct knowledge of rope technique
is essential and the proper use of the
billet must be understood. (A billet
is_a_crack in the rock/or a similar
stable object around which a rope
may be put as a safeguard against
falls.) A fine sense of balance is an-
other requirement, for in scaling rock
walls handholds the size of a dime
must often be used. Climbers should
wear heavy nailed boots to get a grip
on the rock, although in fine weather
sneakers can be used on rock slabs.
Mountain climbing has come into its
own only within the last hundred
years, but owing. to its increasing
popularity there are now many or-.
ganized climbing clubs. The Ladies’
Alpine Club was founded in the days
of crinolines. The Pinnacle Club, a
British women’s rock climbing club
of which Miss Pilley is the president,
has the hardest qualifications of all
similar organizations. Every mem-
ber must be able to be a leader, to use
a rope correctly and to climb safely
without unnecessary risk.
Miss Pilley has climbed in every
part of the world, from the mountains
in the English Lake Country to the
Himalayas. Much of her climbing has
been done in the Alps, which are no-
torious for snow and ice hazards.
Snow and glacier climbing is treach-
erous because of the danger of
crevasses. A thin layer of snow may
completely conceal a crevass, and the
utmost care must be taken to test the
ground as one goes. Miss Pilley told
of a serious accident suffered by a
guide on one of their trips. Three
members of the party, including the
guide, had gone ahead. It was a
stuffy evening and the snow was
treacherous. The guide, although an
old one who knew the glacier, had

Junior Year Abroad
Discussed by Dean
Music Room, March 6.— Bryn
Mawr’s experience with the junior
year spent elsewhere than on the
campus has not been very favorable
except where it was embarked on with
definite purpose, is the opinion of
Dean Manning. There are’ certain
very great advantages which a year
of study away from Bryn Mawr
affords, but they must be carefully
weighed against the corresponding
disadvantages.
The college grants its degrees on
of work of a certain well-understood |
standard. Our degree is not based on
the best program of general education
and we cannot tamper with our exist-
ing plan because work of this nature
is a prerequisite for graduate study.
Therefore work done off the campus
must be designed to fit into our
scheme of study.
In the past the organization of the
junior year abroad has presented dif-
ficulties which have been very satis-
factorily dealt with by the University
of Delaware organization. There must
| be a definite’ understanding of the
' ground to be covered. Also the rules
concerning personal conduct are con-
siderably stiicter at foreign universi-
ties. One of the greatest disadvant-
ages resulting from being away dur-
ing the junior year is the serious dis-
arrangement in the preparation for
comprehensive examinations. Required
subjects must be completed in the first
two years at college, thus leaving very
little time available for the choice of
elective subjects.
The opportunities to study abroad,
however, are great enough frequently
to merit the making of sacrifices by
the college. Life with a family which
has a completely different culture, and
constant use of the language, are two
of the undoubted advantages of study
abroad.
How the Wheels Go "Round
(This the second of a series of ar-
ticles on the college as. a commun-
ity.)
There is no endowment for
cream and there is no endowment for
lettuce twice a day. This pronounce-
ment from the Steward shatters once
and for all the rumor popular among
the undergraduates for more than
thirty years that the only plausible
explanation for the phenomena lay
in the whim of a lettuce and ice
cream-starved alumna. This idea is
entirely false and the true reason for
the regular and sometimes monotonous
recurrence of these two foods on the
table lies in the stubborn conserva-
tism of a Bryn Mawr appetite. Vari-
ations were tried in the early days
of the college, and. upon occasions
there are still hopeful but vain ex-
periments; but years ago it was dis-
covered that plain lettuce with a very
ice
‘few varied dressings: was definitely
preferred to any other salad. This
simplified life greatly for the dieti-
cian too, because the arduous task of
concocting new salad combinations
- was for the most part eliminated.
Chicken, fruit cup. and chocolate
dishes are and have been for e-
tions the favorite college dishes.
In the realm of desserts there is
and has been only one choice—ice
cream with chocolate sauce. Tastés
don’t seem to change among the un-
dergraduates of two generations, and
if not ice cream with chocolate sauce
late sauce, or perhaps a chocolate
pudding, is in favor. Chocolate eclairs
have recently been extremely popular.
“Any chocolate food is a _ success,”
declares Mrs. Robins, the Dietician,
“The only reason we don’t serve it
every meal as the students and we
should like, is to keep up the interest
and the feeling of novelty. Other
sauces for ice cream are introduced
simply to keep the chocolate popular.”
No one likes the fancy ice creams
without sauce, although they are just
as costly as ordinary ice cream with
sauce.
mocha and other ice creams, vanilla
with chocolate temains king of
desserts.
All the ice cream is made by the
college, more precisely by the store
room boy in Rockefeller basement on
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

Club in Organizing College
Peace Program
MEET EVERY TWO WEEKS
Common Room, March 5.—The re-
cently founded Bryn Mawr branch of
the A. S. U. met, under the chairman-
ship of Martha Van Hoesen, ’39, to
discuss points in the program pre-
pared by the Executive Committee.
Twenty-two students were present,
and voiced its concern for the Summer
School, anti-Hearst work and coopera-
tion with the International Relations
Club in its peace program.
The group is keenly interested in
the Summer School project and wants
to have, facts as an intelligent back-
ground for discussion and support
of it. Sylvia Wright, ’38, was elected
chairman of a committee of two to re-
port to the group at a short meeting
this week.
It is very important that the group
work to express in practical ways its
disapproval of the Hearst press.
They expect to prepare a list of
all such publications, so. that — it
will be possible to organize a sys-
tematic boycott of the man and his
works. Mary Dimmock, ’39, was ap-
pointed with a companion of her
choosing to go to the managers of the],
Seville and other local theatres and to
see whether it would be possible to get
them to stop showing Hearst news-
reels. It is important to get the group
and the whole college anti-Hearst. A
bulletin board was suggested on which
the worst articles in Hearst publica-
tions could be posted.
- There will be a peace demonstra-
tion held on April 22 by colleges and
universities throughout the country,
and the group planned to offer its
cooperation to the International Re-
lations Club in organizing a college
program.
A literature committee was appoint-
ed consisting of Mary Riesman, ’39,
and Jeanne Quistgaard, ’38, to see
that good pamphlets are distributed
throughout the college and to sell the
Student Advocate, the publication of
the A. S. U., which costs fifty cents
a year and five cents a copy. Action

Second Movie Program
Will Show Narrative
The second of the film showings
sponsored by the Undergraduate Asso-
ciation will be given in Goodhart Hall
1|on Wednesday evening, March 18, and
will show the development of nar-
rative from 1894 to 1911. The pro-
gram consists ®f excerpts from six
films, beginning with The Execution
of Mary Queen of Scots, made in
1893-4, when it was first discovered
that the new invention could recreate
the past. Wash Day Troubles il-
lustrates one of the first excursions
into the invention of stories for the
pictures. A Trip to the Moon, by
George Méliés, and the Great Train
Robbery mark steps of greet advance-
ment in moving-picture technique. A
version of Faust made #? 1905 will
be followed by Queen Elizabeth, of
which Sarah Bernhardt said, “This is
my one chance for immortality.”
These excerpts bring a combination of
history and entertainment of the same
sort presented in the last program,
but based on more serious material.
Rehearsal Schedule
The rehearsal schedule for the
following week will be posted
each Friday morning on _ the

chalked up on the blackboard

Arthur Willert to Talk
On International Press
Sir Arthur Willert, a distinguished |
British diplomat and publicist, will
speak on The Press as a Factor in
International Relations in the Dean-
ery on Sunday, March 15, at 5 p. m.
Since he has all his life been connect-
ed with the international press, Sir
Arthur brings a mine of knowledge
and experience to his subject, while
the subject itself is wide enough for,
him to include acute and authorita-
tive opinions on the present uncertain
state of affairs.
As soon as he was graduated from
Oxford, Sir Arthur joined the staff
of the London Times, and after a brief
apprenticeship in branch offices he
was accepted as a member of ‘the edi-
torial staff in London. He was only
twenty-seven when he was appointed |
Chief Correspondent for the Times in
the United States. This position he
retained until 1920, except for a year
of service with the British War Mis-
sion in Washington in 1917. In recog-
nition of his work here he was created
a Knight of the Order of the British
Empire, while on his return, to Lon-
don he was made head of the News
Department and Press Officer in the
British Foreign Office.
Since then he has been a delegate
to nearly all. the Naval and Disarma-
ment Conferences sponsored by vari-
ous countries, as well as a constant
attendant at the meetings of the
League of Nations. His views of Eng-
land’s relations with other countries
were expressed in the book he pub-
lished in 1928, Aspects of British For-
eign Policy. The future relations of
these countries he has now predicted
in a book published only a few weeks|

Herald-Tribune of Sunday, February

NEW TERMS
Richards Cites False
Theories of Metaphor
Not Mere Addition as Aristotle
_ Said, But is Very Essence
of Language
CLARIFY
Goodhart, March 9.—An explana-
ition of metaphor and a refutation of
ithe mistaken beliefs concerning it
were the subject of Mr. Richards’
‘fifth lecture in the Flexner series,
‘The seeds of such mistaken beliefs,
he said, were sown by no less a man
than Aristotle; who, in discussing the
iskillful use of language, once wrote
'that “the greatest thing by fay was
to gain control of a metaphor,” but
that only a genius could do this, only
a man who had an eye for resem-
blances. Latent in these statements
are erroneous assumptions which from
Aristotle until the present generation
have been accepted and enlarged up-
on while the true use and meaning of
a metaphor has been ignored.
First of the false assumptions so
generated is the idea that some men
have an eye for resemblances and that
some have not. The second is the in-
ference that the control of a meta-
phor, unlike other intellectual arts,
cannot be taught to the unfortunate
individuals who are born without it.
Thirdly, there is the opinion that
metaphor is a special use of speech,
a mere embellishment adding grace
to the main body, but not vital to it.
On these three unjustifiable presup-
positions, the study of rhetoric has
been based for ages, although a mani-
fest contradiction to such a theory
| has existed in the fact that historians
(of language have proved the deriva-
tion of the meaning in large numbers
of words from nothing but metaphori-
cal usage. Observing this phenome-
non, Bentham conceived the idea that
“mind and all its doings are fictions,”
while Coleridge and F. H. Bradley
went still farther and stated that “all
objects of contemplation are fictions.”
|Shelley had the same intuition of the
truth when he wrote, “Language is
vitally metaphorical,” but neither he
nor any of these men ever put their
insight to the proof or enlarged it
into a doctrine of language. That
must be done now.
If the real function of metaphor is

At Vassar Model League

| Sale, 736.)
The Tenth Assembly of the Model
League of Nations last week came to
some stimulating conclusions as the
result of spirited discussions in which,
for the most part, the positions of the
countries were intelligently -main-
tained. Dr. Fenwick delivered an
opening address which pointed out
that the difficulties of international co-
loperation are not insuperable, since
many of the same objections were of-
| fered to the Constitution of the United
States as are today made to the
League.
In the First Plenary Session of the
Assembly the nations stated their pre-
liminary stands and pointed to the
differences which had to be overcome
in the committee meetings which fol-
lowed.
The First Committee, on Technical
Assistance to Backward Nations,
brought in an admirable report ad-
vocating the extension and codifica-
tion of the existing agencies’ of the
League which provide such assistance.
Provisions for costs of such assistance
and for the independence of countries
accepting it were made. Investiga-.
tions made by League agencies were
not to be considered invasions of
sovereignty, and no assistance was to
be given in the name of any particular
state, so as to prevent the exploitation
or conquest of nations in need of aid.
The committee concluded its report
with a comprehensive plan for the
codification and standardization of

USE ELIZABETHAN SONGS
&
The music used during the proces-
sion and during the general dancing
on the green has been arranged to
serve a double purpose: to complement
the riot of color and the lively action
of the pageant with the spirited, jig-
ging music of Elizabethan song and to
cue dancers and paraders for their |
changes in place. This year a band!
of twenty pieces ‘will play during the
procession and general dancing on the
green.
The announcement of the approach
of the procession—signal for last-|
comers to .get to their grandstand
seats quickly and signal for paraders
to stop looking at everyone else and |
look to themselves—will be a special
Fanfare of Trumpets. Then, as the
pageant moves through Pembroke
Arch, past Taylor, past the grand-
stand, back of Merion and Radnor and
reappears on Senior Row, the band |
plays four well-known old English
melodies: Come Lassies and Lads,
Chelsea Reach, Bobbing Joe and Haste
to the Wedding.

When the procession is over there
will be another special Fanfare of
Trumpets, prefacing the march of
Queen Elizabeth and-her court from
the path in front of the grandstand
to her dais on the Green. During the
time of her procession Purcell’s Trum-
pet Tune in D Major is played, and
the revellers pause to pay homage to
their Queen.
The end of this is the signal for
the roistering to begin. One and all,
the revellers swarm on to the Green,
greeting their fellows. But not for
too long: for the music swings into
either Haste to the Wedding or
Nancy’s Fancy and lads and lassies
make a lane for Robin Hood and Maid
Marian. As the May ‘Queen is being
.. erowned, Morley’s ballet Now Is the
Month of Maying is played; a_ shout
and a cheer goes up from the throng,
and the crowd mills once more on the
Green.
The Twenty-ninth of May (‘To the
Maypole let us on”) finds them lined
up in couples, skipping and turning
and singing with abandon, and when
the band goes from this into Peascods,
the straight lines turn magically into
small circles of dancers scattered all
over the green. The final triumph,
however, of both musicians and danc-
ers, comes when the band breaks into
the strains of Sellinger’s Round, the
dancers mass into five huge concentric
circles and the grandstand audience
sees a pinwheel of color around the
Maypole.
The music for the country dances
includes Parson’s Farewell, Newcastle
and Ole Mole; for the Morris dances,
Lads a bunchum and Leap Frog; and

First Flower Tea Held
A flower tea was held in the
Common Room on _ Tuesday,
March 10, to’ stimulate the lag-
ging interest in making paper
flowers. Miss Brady and Miss
Grant say that the flowers can
be finished by spring vacation
and it should be quite easy to
do this if we will work a little
more. If everyone would take
some of the time that she spends
each day in playing bridge to
make ten paper flowers, we
would find that the task would
S$00n be done.

‘Two Falcons Will Ride
| In State in May Day
|
Two new members have been added
| to the menagerie to baffle the Ani-
i'mal Committee—a pair of falcons
'which will ride in state during the
May Day pageant on the wrists of the
iqueen’s attendants and will wear ele-
i gant hoods adorned with gold leaf and
|pheasant feathers! The falcons—not
[really English falcons, but their close
' velatives, American hawks — were
|eaueny by Daniel Pratt Mannix, a
naturalist and author of Rose-
mont, Pa.
| Falcons have never before been used
iin May Day, although they were an
| extremely popular feature of Eliza-
| bethan England. During the reigris
| of both Henry VIII and Elizabeth, fal-
iconry was a sport greatly in favor,
,and strict laws were passed for the
protection of the falcons and hawks.
The birds were even classified accord-
ing to rank and allotted to men ac-
cording to their status: thus, while
an emperor received vultures and
eagles, peasants were allotted only
kestrels; royalty received jerfalcons,
earls were awarded peregrines, and
priests were considered worthy of
sparrow-hawks.
The falcon or hawk is attached to
the wrist by means of a long leather
leash, which in turn is fastened to the
“jesses”—long strips of leather which
remain always on the hawk’s legs. A
gauntlet protects the left hand of the
person carrying the bird.
Gertrude Leighton, ’38, is respon-
sible for the idea of introducing fal-
cons into the pageant; she happened
to see one of the pair just after it had
been caught and thought of the possi-
bilities of falcons for May Day. One
hawk has already been trained over
a period of time and is quite tame; ac-
customed to the owls and vultures in
Mr. Mannix’s menagerie, it will not
even be startled by the varied assort-
ment of animals with whom it will

| Tengthy definition of the aggressor,
iwhfeh was accepted. When the de-
reision. to put additional sanctions on
(Italy was announced, that delegation
‘left the League amid hisses from other
| nations.
| Professor Howard B. Calderwood,
\of the University of Michigan, gave a
well justified criticism of the Assembly
;in that he said that the members had
‘begun to forget the attitudes of the
‘countries they represented. It was evi-
dent that this was true because of the
crevass. A snow-bridge suddenly gave
way without warning, and she was
plunged into darkness where she hung
dangling. Fortunately. the crevass
was shaped so that she able to brace
her ‘feet against one wall amd her
back against the other, thus escap-
ing the danger of suffocation by rope
tightening around her waist. Her
husband and a guide labored twenty
minutes to get her out.
Most of the mountains in the. Alps:
which have challenged. climbers have
been scaled. Mont Blanc, which is
very high and cold and extremely
crevassed even on the easier trail, was
successfully climbed in 1787. The
Matterhorn was unconquered till 1862;
at this time a party of seven men
managed to reach the top, but ‘on the
way down _in their moment of tri-
umph four of them fell four thou-
sand feet to their death. The great-
est challenge to mountain climbers
today is Mt. Everest in the Hima-
layas. All attempts to scale it have
ended either in defeat or diseaster.
A group of British mountaineers are
making plans for an ascent in May,
although they are convinced that they
have not -even a fifty-fifty chance of
reaching the top.
Miss Pilley has made from seven
hundred to eight hundred trips and |
has been in serious danger only half
a dozen times, one occasion being when
she suffered from sun-stroke in the
Himalayas. She feels that the chief
joy of mountain climbing lies in the
escape from the world which it makes
possible. Mountaineering banishes
mundane cares and brings a freedom
of spirit which can be captured by
no other recreation.

modes of assistance.
An interesting suggestion of the
Second Committee, on the Distribu-
tion of Raw Materials, was that a
commission be formed to discuss the
placing of all possessions and protec-
torates under a modified form of the
Mandates Commission. In addition, it
provided for measures to insure free
access of all nations to present man-
dates.
After heated debate the Sanctions
Committee arrived at a decision to
place oil and steel embargoes against
Italy, with penalties for countries
which failed to impose them. A long
discussion of general principle laid
down a similar procedure for wars in
the future, and Russia introduced a
provisions of some of the reports
which wére passed without debate.
The award for the best individual
work went to George Bookman, of
| Haverford, and that for the best dele-
gation, to the group from Lafayette.
It is to be hoped that Bryn Mawr may
enter the competition seriously next
| year, and that we may not fall into
|the error of this Assembly in forget-.
ting our nation’s stand because of
too rapid or careless preparation.
This Model League does act in a
vacuum, it is true, but it offers an op-
portunity for the delegates to study
the point of view of another nation,
and to realize that world problems are
not simple and that other countries
are not simply stubborn.

‘The materials are the best obtainable,
the cream being 30 per cent butterfat
content. None of the cheap “creamery
ice cream mix,” the prepared cream
used by most ice cream factories, is
ever permitted. It takes thirty-five

five quarts of even richer condensed

Announcentent Lists
Lists are being made out for
the May Day announcements.
Members of the faculty and staff
are. urged to hand in names of
those who might be. interested
in receiving these announce-
‘ments.
the only college president who per-
sonally oversees what is being eafen
by the students every day. The
other members of this committee are
Mrs. Robins, the house managers and
the wardens. All the food is ordered
by Mrs.. Robins the day before it is
to be served from the large wholesale
houses in Philadelphia, a carefully
selected list of the best produce
houses and hotel supply companies in
the city. As in other ways, the col-
lege doctrine of quality at any ‘price
holds here, for Mrs. Robins has dis-
covered that it does not pay to deal
with a merchant who undersells the
market.
On the alternate weeks when the
menu committee does not meet, Mrs.
Robins draws up the menus and. dis-
cusses them with the Head Warden,
Miss Howe. Every week all menus
after they are drawn up are sent to
the Infirmary to be approved by Dr.
Leary. On very rare occasions Dr.
Leary finds certain combinations too
heavy for a meal and recommends
changes. One combination in par-
ticular is always avoided—fresh fruit
in the same meal with fresh vege-
tables—because two kinds of raw
| food are usually hard for most people
to digest.
The menus are planned on a gen-
eral calory basis, that is, every meal
is balanced among the proteins, green
foods, starches and acids. About
1800-2000 calories is felt to be the
right amount of energy food neces-
sary each day to keep mind and body
in good health with hard work. A
cup of coffee with cream. contains
about. ten calories, and a rich cream
soup contains about 120 calories. Mrs.
Robins keeps such figures in mind
instead of counting out the caloric
weight of every dish.
She would like very much to give
us more variety in our meals, but
she has found over a good many
years that no one likes variations and
the majority will not eat an unusual
dish that a few people request. Pud-
dings in particular for dessert are
difficult, because everyone likes a
different kind. There are also many
splendid dishes which cannot be
cooked in large amounts.
All the food is delivered at Rocke-
feller basement where the storeroom
for the entire college is situated. Here
all the meat is carefully reweighed
as a check before it is distributed to
the various halls by the college truck.
This is the cheapest way in the long
run. Meat is always used the day it
comes -in, and is never stored or
“leftover.” Most large inéstitutions
and restaurants order large sides of
beef, but in the interests of sanita-
tion and economy, all the meat for
the college is cut and wrapped. Each
package is marked separately for one
hall. On nights when chops are on
the menu, as many as 600 chops are
delivered to: Rockefeller, where they
are counted and weighed before they
are sent to the halls. All the ingre-
dients are identical in every hall; the
only differences comes in the cooking,

The meat is sent out on the early |
morning deliveries, so that it will be
absolutely fresh for that day. The
orange juice for breakfast comes
from the. Fresh Orange Juice Co. in
Lansdowne, where it is squeezed fresh
at three o’clock on the morning on
which it is used. It is delivered sep-
arately to each hall so that it will be
ready for breakfast. Bread and
milk, too, are/delivered.directly to the
halls, since’ they must be absolutely
fresh. Q@nly in very occasiqpal last
minute “rushes is food obtained from
the stores in the village; yeast is the,
commonest of these emergency com-
modities. Cakes and cookies for hall
teas are, as a rule baked in the halls,
otherwise they come from Meth’s.
Hall teas are the only meals which
are planned separately by each hall,
although even then the food is ordered
centrally.
Milk is served three times a day
and if the students want it. a fourth
wee won x
ninety or ninety-one score, a grade
generally used for the table.
Eggs have recently been selling at
about forty-four cents a dozen at the
wholesale rate which the college gets
on 4ll its supplies. This is high and
means that bacon and eggs cannot
be served every morning, for the col-
lege uses only the very best eggs on
the market. No cold storage eggs
are used, and all the eggs served
in the dining rooms are no more than
thirty-six hours old. Eggs for cook-
ing cost slightly less than eggs for
breakfast.
There are almost never any left-
overs from the tables. Even the hash
is new. That is one reason hash is
seldom served, for in most places ex-|
cept Bryn Mawr, hash would be a

servants’ menus are precisely the

standards in quality of food explain

five to seventy cents a girl per day

ago when complaints became partic:
ularly insistent and unusually in
agreement, the college sent represen-
tatives into the Broad: Street Station,
where coffee is reputedly excellent,
and obtained their recipe and direc-
tions. Coffee improved for a while,
but soon became worse than ever so
that new measures had to be taken.
The committee on menus.hopes that
some day the difficulties can be solved
and are.continually investigating any
means to improving the coffee. No
Sanka or decafeined coffee is used,
but only full strength Maxwell House.
The coffee is made twice daily by the
pantryman in each hall.
At the moment, the meatcutters in
Philadelphia are on strike and the
price of meat is advancing. The

tributors “are having trucking dis-
putes so. that any day the college may
be totally without meat. On Monday

automobile, because the trucks could
not appear on the road. The store-

recognized, the exact opposite of the
opinions descended from Aristotle be-
comes true. If it is seen that meta-
phor is the. omnipresent principle of
language, then it,is obvious that an
eye for resemblances must be the gift
of every’man; that the relating of re-
semblances can be taught as language
itself can be taught, and that this
relating is not a mere ornament of
speech but the very essence of it.
Ordinary experience more than proves
the case. In ordinary talk, three
sentences cannot be completed with-
out dependence upon metaphor; it is
eliminated only with difficulty from|
the most rigid scientific discourse;
while in the semi-sciences and philoso-
phy, it is required before any advance
in argument can be made. Philosophy
“eed attempts to do without it, but
actually the more abstract thought
pecomes, the more it rests upon meta-
‘phor for expression. When metaphors
are avoided, they nevertheless are the
guide of that which is put into words,
in as much as it then becomes easier
to say what is not than precisely
what is meant.
Not only observation but also theory
proves the omnipresence and the ne-
cessity of metaphor. In previous
lectures the meaning of a word has
+been deseribed as “delegated efficacy ;”
that is, the word is a substitute for
a combination of past experiences,
/not one discrete impression. Meta-
|phor likewise is a substitute for a
combination. When two thoughts act-
ing together are represented by one
word whose meaning is the interac-

digestive fluids.
¥
Again and again, we make up for lost
time by eating in a hurry. Digestion must
meet the strain. How fortunate that smok-
ing Camels during and after meals defi-
nitely stimulates digestion and helps to
ward off the effects of our hurried, nerve-
wracking life—by aiding and restoring the
natural flow of the digestive fluids. Today,
Camels are being everywhere recognized
as a healthful part of the art of dining.
Camels are incomparably mild—never
get on your nerves or tire your taste.
Enjoy Camels with meals and the whole
day through, for their matchless blend
of costlier tobaccos—for their ener-
gizing “lift”—for the welcome feeling of
well-being they bring you.
Camels set you right!

Collapsing Bathtub Causes Flood
Those who were in the Denbigh
mezzanine bathroom Thursday were
suddenly startled by a%great commo-
tion in the vicinity of one of the bath-
tubs. Water splashed in all direc-
tions and poured,in mighty floods
from under the door.
“Tt’s fallen over,’ wailed a- voice
from the midst of the flying spray.
The girl in the room below was
suddenly alarmed by a great inunda-
tion raining down from the ceiling.
She dashed into the hall.and frantic-
ally raised the alarm. Soon Mrs.
Gould had tracked down the source
of the flood and several maids rushed
to the scene of disaster, armed with
all the available mops and rags.
Meanwhile the -imperturbable young
‘lady at the center of all the action,
not in the least daunted by the un-
steady state of her three-legged tub,
had calmly climbed in again and re-
sumed her interrupted bath.

the result. The power and beauty of
the metaphor depends upon what the
two members do to each other in their
synthesis. Skill in distinguishing the
interaction of the members is the es-
sential element of literary skill. It
was the possession .by the Elizabeth-
ans of a supreme distinguishing
ability that madé Shakespeare possi-
ble. Because the eighteenth and nine-
teenth centuries narrowed their views
of possible ‘interaction and narrowed
them in opposite ways, the familiar
rantithesis of classicism, and Yoman-
ticism originated. Only in the pres-
ent age is the recovery from the anti-
thesis reaching completion.
If there ‘is to be a clear and scién-
tific method of analyzing the relation
of the members in a metaphor, if that
which is implicit in language is to be
made explicit and intelligible, there
must be “provided definite technical
terms for each of the members and
for the whole resulting from them.
Previously, ‘metaphor’ has often been
used indiscriminately to indicate
either this whole or one of its parts.
When the confusion of such equivocal
labels has caused them to be dis-
carded, the substitution of awkward
descriptive phrases such as “under-
lying idea” and “ imaginary nature”
has furnished little improvement. It
is no wonder that all investigation of
metaphor has but entangled itself.

place except Turkey and
tion of the two thoughts, metaphor is}
from the customary vague terminol-
ogy, the name of “tenor” might be
applied to the “underlying idea” and
that of “vehicle” to the “imaginary
nature,” while the fusion of tenor and
Nvehicle may continue to be called
“metaphor.” In retaining this term,
however, the associated idea must not
be retained, that metaphor is neces-
sarily connected with the revival of
some sense impression. Figures of
speech can work without the assist-
ance of any sensual’ image called up
in the reader’s mind.
Even with the need for precise
and unmistakable labels ‘supplied, the
study of metaphor @annot advance
unless a new definition of the subject
to be studied jis supplied likewise.
According to the new definition, meta-
phor is thé very heart of language; |
it is the transaction between contexts.
Thought itself is fundamentally meta-
phorical, and language- but inherits
its structure from thought. In ask-
ing how language works, therefore,
we ask how we think, how we feel,
how we live. No question is more:
significant for us.
The evils resulting from reliance
on a false definition, from the belief
that metaphor must involve images,
and from the lack of technical names
! which is
to stabilize inquiry are illustrated by
Lord Kames’ book, The Elements of |
Criticism. Although he is propound-
ing a rule for the proper use of meta-
phor, his cumbrous and . involved
terminology renders his rule practic-
ally unintelligible. What he says can
be stated clearly, however, if the
words “tenor” and “vehicle” are taken
to replace his circumlocutions for the
same ideas.. Yet as soon as his con-
fusion of terms is corrected, he is
shown to be guilty of another error
arising from a misunderstanding of
the meaning of metaphor. In con-
formity with the whole eighteenth
century, he regards metaphor as an
accessory to speech, an accessory to.
be avoided if clarity rather than ele-
gance is desired. That the meaning
embodied in a metaphor is a different
and a greater meaning than that
contained in either of its members .in
isolation, and consequently that a clar-
ity is possible only with the employ-
ment of metaphor, are considerations
Lord Kames never met with in his
mind. He believed in doing away
with metaphor or at least in restrict-
ing its activity. The vehicle itself,
the descriptive member,
should have no vehicle dependent up-
on it, he affirmed. Yet his own sen-
tenées are built up in this way, with
metaphor piled on metaphor, and are
perfectly comprehensible once ‘his un-
scientific use of labels is corrected.

are astonishingly low, too.
He did not realize that his practice
was contradicting his preaching in
this ,instance, nor did he realize it
later when he -was criticizing Shake-
speare’s imagery for lack of consist-
ency. The absurdity of his carping
clearly presented the morals that not
to see how a word can work is no
proof that it does not werk, and that
to see how it ought to work is no proof
that it does. ;
Likewise. without knowing what he
did, Kames raised the question of
whether or not metaphors can be
based on qualities other than resem-
blance. If the objects compared are
not like in themselves, then the obvi-
ous consequence is that the basis of
likeness or comparison must be in ‘the
observer. It is we who make resem-
blances. by our manner of seeing; our
eyes twitch and the whole -world
swims. Perception, thinking, feeling,
life itself, are accomplished in meta-
phorical terms. The figure of speech
known as metaphor is a mere instance
of the vital law and process which
can be called by the same name.
