Monte Cassino Was
Center of Culture
In Southern Italy



Dr. Willard Depicts Restoration]

of Benedictine Abbey Built

In Middle Ages ,



- POLITICS AND RELIGION

Deanery, April 11.—Dr: Henry M.
Willard, speaking on The Abbey of
Monte Cassino and: the Mediaeval
Culture of Southern Italy, described
with the help of lantern slides a re-
construction of the abbey as it was
during the height of its influence in
the late eleventh century, and explain-
ed the abbey’s important position in
the art, architecture, fine manuscript
writing, and general culture of the
Middle Ages. The mother-monastery
of the Benedictine order, founded
about the year 1540 by Saint Bene-
dict on the site of a great temple of
Apollo atop a low ridge of the Abruz-
zi mountains midway. between Naples
and Rome, has preserved even until



Oriental influence. At the present
time only buildings of the Baroque
period of the sixteenth and_ seven-
teenth centuries are to be seen, but a
careful comparison of the present cen-
tury buildings, and church architec-
ture of the period in the surrounding
country, presents a good idea of. the
monastery in the days of its greatest
abbot, Desiderius. As long as monks
of the order continue ‘to live on*the
site, the usual archaeological investi-
gations cannot be carried out, for this
abbey is one of the few monasteries
permittted in Italy and harbours about
forty monks.

The site of the Monte Cassino abbey
has ‘been in use ever since prehistoric
times. Its impregnable situation high
on the mountain above the rich and
fertile plain of the river Lirus at-
tracted early peoples to the spot, as
is shown by the remains of a fifth cen-
tury B.C, Etruscan wall circuiting
the present monastery walls. In
heathen days the site was a great
walled acropolis, and the sacred foun-
der tore down an altar of the god
Apollo to erect an oratory to Saint
Martin. “In the temple of Apollo, the
Saint meditated upon his human and

Famous Mathematician,

Dr. Emmy Noether, Dies



The College was shocked and griev-
ed to hear that Dr. Emmy Noether,

one of the most eminent modern

mathematicians, and visiting lecturer
in mathematics at. Bryn Mawr, died
on April 14 after undergoing a seri-
ous operation.

Dr. Noether was born at Erlangen
in 1882, the university at, which her
father, Dr. Max Noether, was a pro-
fessor of mathematics of great. note.
Dr. Emmy Noether received the de-
gree of Doctor of Philosophy from Er-
langen in 1907. She was Privatdozent
and Professor of Mathematics at the
University of Gd6ttingen. Some of
the most distinguished German stu-
dents. of mathematics have been her
pupils. The Rockefeller Foundation
and the Emergency Committee in Aid
of Displaced German Scholars made it
possible for the Department of Mathe-
matics to invite her to Bryn Mawr.
Her special field was modern algebra,
in which she solved difficult problems
of calculus, and about which she wrote
in many German mathematical peri-
odicals.

Dr. Noether came to Bryn Mawr in
the fall of 1938. Last year she gave

‘a, course in Modern Algebra to four

graduate students, and this year three
research fellows with unusual previ-
ous records were especially invited to
work with her. Miss Stauffer has just
completed the thesis on which she was
working with Dr. Noether. Miss Mon-
roe is the only undergraduate who
has studied with her.



Fathers Suggest Undergraduate Appeals,

Many Small Gifts

to Raise $20,000.Quota



Deanery, April 14.—The Under-
graduate Drive Committee had a most
enjoyable and profitable meeting with
some of the fathers of members of the
Committee who were kind enough to
give some words of wisdom about how
we should go about raising our quota
of $20,000.

Miss Park opened ,the proceedings
with a welcoming talk which not only
admirably summed up the purpose of
the gathering, but also helped to make
the fathers completely at home. After
luncheon Mrs. Slade told of the prog-
ress of the Drive’to .date, reporting
that if we should have to stop. now
we would be able to report that $250,-
000 is definitely promised. Many peo-
ple were and are extremely skeptical
about Bryn Mawr’s chances of success
in this campaign, but certainly no one
can fail to be impressed by the prog-
ress so far. The problem now at hand
is how to get the rest, and in par-
ticular, how: the undergraduates are
to raise their quota. This was the

a
basketball games and the Faculty
Show, the square dances, and _ the
Greek play. About $8,800 has been
achieved through these: measures and
through the ‘pledges of students; but
that leaves nearly $12,000 still to be
obtained, most of which will probably
have to come from outside the Col-
lege. Dr. Crenshaw, of the Chemistry
Department, revealed the plans for
integrating the work of the various de-
partments which a new Science Build-
ing will make possible.

Mr. Grover Whalen, former, Com-
missioner of Police-in New York City,
then told his impressions of Bryn
Mawr’s Drive and encouraged every-
one greatly by expressing his belief
that the impossible could be achieved,
and reported that he personally was
going to do all that he could to help
put it over. Mr. C. Reed Cary next
gave some useful ideas about points to
stress in approaching people and about

methods of meeting them. He sounde

problem about which we wished’ to
consult the group of fathers who had
come to the Deanery luncheon.

Mrs. Slade announced that each one
of the fathers.nresent would tell some-_
thing about what he thought best for
us to do to bring our part of the Drive
to a successful close. Before any of

‘the fathers spoke, Maynard Riggs,

vice-president of the Undergraduate
Association, reviewed the various ac-
tivities of the students which are de-
signed to raise part of our total gift.
These included: the giving up of des-
serts, the Bookshop tax, sales of



oranges, cookies and cakes, the faculty

ers emphasized, stating his belief that
the appeal of students themselves was
perhaps the most successful way jof
breaking down the resistance of the
verson being interviewed. Mr. Charles

‘Edwin Fox also discussed the value

of this kind of contact and impressed
those. present. greatly by his casual
remark that he had participated in five
campaigns of this sort in the past few

months. His ideas certainly ried

Lenient College Rules

lo



Bryn Mawr was hostess this week-
end to the heads of the college or-
ganizations for 1934-35 and 1935-36
at Mt. Holyoke, Smith, Vassar, and
Wellesley. The representatives from
Mt. Holyoke were Drew Mathews, re-
tiring chairman. of Community; Har-
riet Williams, new chaixman, and Jane
Lester, chairman of the Judicial
Board. Elizabeth Gamble and Mar-
garet Whittem, old and new heads of
Student Government, and Evelyn
Judicial
Board, were representing Smith. Vas-
sar sent Ann Oliver and Peggy Pren-
tiss, retiring and new presidents :of
the student: Association, and Rosarina
Robbins, Chief Justice. Nancy Ellen
and Marian Blake Schoenfuss, old and
new presidents of College Govern-
ment, came from Wellesley. They
were entertained by Susan Morse and
Marion Bridgman, retiring and new
presidents of the Self Government As-
sociation. The principle questions-un-
der discussion were smoking and social
regulations, which are much more libé
eral here than in other colleges.

As regards smoking Smith has the
same regulations as Bryn Mawr/ ex-
cept that, at Smith, students sthoke
only at specified hours. The risk of
fire is considered so great that those
smoking in their rooms. must go up
before the president of the ¢ollege as
well as the president of Student Gov-
ernment. The colleges in which smok-
ing is allowed in Students’ rooms have
fire-proof buildings.

Bryn Mawr seems to be more lenient
than most colleges jin dealing with
latenesses, since at /Mt. Holyoke a
$1.00 fine is charged for a-one to five
minute lateness, and the fine for thir-
ty minute lateness is $5.00. At Smith
those ‘even one oh late are cam-



pused for a week, while any lateness
in returning after an overnight ab-
sence is penalized by the removal of
one of the nights of leave, of* which
seven are allowed a semester.

The question of finances was alsé
discussed. /Smith has an efficient sys-
tem,—namely, a blanket tax, which
covers class dues, A. A. dues, Chris-
tian Assocation dues, the college pa-
per, dramatics and debating club ex-»
penses./ The entire tax is only $7.00
a yeay, and the Judicial Board enal-
izes those who do not pay. The finance
manager is a student officer.? This
san system of blanket payment exists
at Vassar, but her board of trustees
gives $3,000.00 for all such organiza-|
tions. Pay day comes once a year, in
tHe fall, and covers dues for the small-

clubs and other similar expenses.

Much Ado But Not For Nothing was

the final curtains closed they burst

Bryn Mawr Rallies To
Support Peace Drive

Miss Ely and’Mrs. M. S. Olmsted



Point Out Encroachment
Of Militarism
WAR WILL DRAFT WOMEN



Pier en Hall, -April12:; "==" The
cause of peace was presented to the
members of college in a mass meeting,
and enthusiastically supported by both
students and outside speakers. Miss

Gertrude Ely and Mrs. Mildred Scott
O

Imsted were the guest speakers,
while Caroline-C. Brown and Barbara
Cary represented the college.

Miss Brown,.in opening, explained
the international importance of this
demonstration, pointing out that simi-
lar gatherings were being held simul-
taneously by student bodies all over
the United States and in France, Italy,
England, Germany, and Spain. Bryn
Mawr, by adding the weight of her
support to this widespread movement,
has shown an intelligent attitude to-
wards peace and has thereby taken a
step towards removing the cause for
accusations of lethargy on this sub-
ject which have not infrequently been
raised against her in the past. This
movement, organizing students into
anti-war committees, should gf¥e those
of us participating a sense of our own
power.

Miss Gertrude Ely, Vice-President
of the League of Women Voters, gave
her hearty approval,to our entrance
into this students’” peace movement.
We are fortunate, she said, to be im
college with people courageous enough
to think out the peace problem, de-
termined that there shall not be an-
other war. This is a very different
attitude. from that of the majority of
older people. Our attitude should be-
come a contagion carried by youth all
over the United States. Certainly we

Some riotous person in the audience
gave her/balloon a little pat; it flew
over thé heads of several undergrad-
uates /and landed in the lap of an
elderly gentleman. He, evidently in-
spired by the occasion, proceeded to
bat the balloon himself. The game

spread with new players joining at

every moment. Fortunately for a few
of the fairly serious people, who did
not like balloons in their hair, a loud
blast of trumpets brought to an end
all such extemporaneous_ entertain-
ment. Next came a mock May Day
procession. Down the aisle from the
back Miss Walsh rode a foreign-look-
ing, four-legged animal, led by Miss
Lake. Following this spectacle came
the one-man band: Mr. Willoughby
swirled about from traps to organ, and
set up a din which turned the mock
ceremony into a real parade. In the
rest of the procession there were Dr.
Chew, the master-of-ceremonies and
general director, dressed in. a com-
pletely outlandish garb; Miss Terrien,
who bounced along as a_ sprightly
Queen Elizabeth, preceded and follow-
ed by numerous men clothed in black

|robes and carrying rapiers so held as

to make an arch; Dean Schenck, wear-
ing enough sparkling diamonds to run
Mae West close competition, and a
large group of wreathed and rouged
young ladies, headed gaily toward the
spot where the crowning of ‘the May
Queen was to take place. The girl
chosen to be thus honored was par-
ticularly well suited for her part; she
was a statuesque beauty, who wore
her hair in long, flowing locks; she
tripped beautifully and gracefully up
to the stage. It was only when she
was obvious to everyone in the audi
ence, that Dr. Metzger’s true beauty
was appreciated by all. He was *\
huge success: as Queen of the May!

After the crowning of the /Queen
on the stage, the Tabloid of Muchado
was presented. Faculty members
danced in a chorus and sang their in-
troductory song. Mr. Willoughby was
the star performer; he not only di-
rected the singing and did the solo
dancing, but he also turned out to be
a quick change artist/ The lights
dimmed a moment, and when they
came up again, Uncle Sam’s Navy
was on hand to do /a Sailors’ Horn-
pipe. Such agility on the part of our
staid professors again started the hys-
terical laughter of the audience. Dr.
Chew’s comments between scenes did
not give anyone a chance to stop gig-
gling or to catch his breath.

Miss Robbins came on the stage

Action! Action!

The casual lethargy with which Bryn Mawr undergraduates nomi-
nate and elect candidates for important positions on campus has become
an unwritten tradition. It has become smart to be vague, lazy and
unconcerned about who shall hold the collegiate offices that most
vitally affect our four years of life within these academic walls. Class
meetings are suddenly called, the same old people from the same old
groups are put up; discussion is usually waived and with each succeed-
ing year girls are automatically elected to office without any care or
regard for their talents or abilities to carry out the work of these posi-
tions. As a rule, they discharge their duties reasonably well, and no
one bothers any further about the matter. Life goes on in its usual
unconcerned manner.

The fact that every year eighty-five girls graduate from Bryn
Mawr proves of itself that the majority of students on campus really
enjoy college life and believe that Bryn Mawr is fundamentally sound.
Why this majority shows none of its regard for the college in intelli-
gent election of students, remains a inystery. A few people often hold
many offices apiece, merely because their names are generally known,
when it is obvious that even the most capable people cannot efficiently
divide their energies. There are many capable, often brilliant people,
whose admirable talents are never discovered or utilized during their
four years of college. At the same time, many inefficient people win
elections, who either should not -hold office at all or are not suited by
their abilities for that particulap“office, and they are often the people
who handle the most important undergraduate affairs. There is always
room for fresh talent; there are always people with latent ability of
the highest order who should be put into office. It is time that action
was taken on the part of the student -body and on the part of the
classes to elect the right people for the right offices.

The sophomore class has decided this spring to remedy this poor.
state of affairs and to avoid the usual railroading into office of the
-same old people during class meetings. The class has elected from each

hall two members for a nominating committee who, with the president
of the class, will deliberate and consider all the people in the class in

-order to select the able people for each office. Hall representatives, who

are usually put up because no one particularly dislikes them, were not
necessarily chosen for the committee. Each hall selected those sopho-
mores who, in the opinions of the students themselves, best know the
members of the class and can judge most accurately without regard to
personal friendship the girls best suited for each position. This nomi-
nating committee will then select from. five to ten people for each
position and present them to the class. Further nominations may come,
if desired, from the floor. The class then can hear the soberly consid-
ered report of the committee and elect the three nominees to be pre-
sented to the college for election. This method is designed to bring to
light new and efficient talent, and to. prevent the usual procedure of
continually electing the same old people regardless of their abilities
for the given job. If the experiment succeeds in its purposes in the
sophomore elections this spring, the college may well adopt this system

in every class.



Lost Opportunities

We have long wanted to express our views on the attitude of Bryn

~ Mawr students to the attendance at lectures. We have gone to quite a

few in the course of our career in this institution, and we have almost
never failed to note with regret not only the very visible evidence of
the difficulty of completely filling the spacious rows of Goodhart Hall,

_ but more especially, we have commented on the usual scarcity ofsunder-

graduate representatives at many of the events which occur there.
; things which nearly every college emphasizes as a
a its favor is the number and variety of Jecture foundatioris

Voice of Bryn Mawr



The Editor-of the College News:

I trust you will not think me un-
sympathetic with the object of the
mass meeting held last Friday if I
venture to suggest that it dealt with
the problem of peace in a singularly
ineffective way. We have little to gain
in discussing what we as individuals
shall or shall not:do in the event that
a war breaks out, while neglecting to
give our attention to the ways and
means by which the war might be
avoided, What would we think of the
people of a community if, in the pres-

‘ence of a typhoid epidemic, they: met
ito discuss how they might avoid the

consequences of the epidemic and gave
no thought to the causes of the pol-
lution of their drinking water from
‘which the epidemic arose?

Nothing seems to me less worthy of
intelligent people than to send out ap-
peals for peace and disarmament with
no indication of the practical meas-
ures which our legislators might take
to offset the forces making for war.
No word was said as to the possible
recognition by the United States of
a collective responsibility with other
nations for the maintenance of the

Publicity!

The other day an_ enthusiastic
Alumna gave a Haverford Graduate, |
her son, three of the fiftieth anniver-|
sary seals to send out as he thought
best. The following is an exerpt of
a letter received by the aforemention-
ed Graduate’s classmate, telling in|
rather typical style just what became}
of the seals: “. . . I wish you would,
tell your mother that I have disposed |
of the three Bryn Mawr for President!
or 1,000,000 for: Bryn Mawr stickers
in a manner which I believe is de-
serving of special recommendation of
Dean Gauss, or maybe he’s at Prince-
ton—and I never bothered with any
Princeton for President stickers that I
can remember. Of course I may have,
but—wait—yes—No! — I remember
now—Those were for the Green Hill
Farms Pope Factory University Insti-
toot of Technology.

“Well—the first I disposed of by
placing on the derriere of a letter. to
Philadelphia. That, I admit, was
rather crass and uneventful. In fact
I might say I hadn’t really got going.

“The second is now on its way to
Chartres to see Pleasants—That is

think a Frog would do anything has

was not my own—none other than a
Yale man’s. No one less than a Yale

er been to Bryn Mawr Beach—prob-
ably down near the hockey field—I re-
member it was rather muddy there.)
So—with the approbation, if not/the
written approval of the officer in

ering these bonds. There, jin due
course, it will probably be received by

general peace. No word was seid as
to the participation by the United
States jn a system of codperative de-
fense to replace the present depend-
ence of each nation upon its own army
and navy for its national defense. No
word was said even of the assumption
by the United States of an obligation
to consult with other nations in a
time of crisis such as the present one.
The meeting dealt merely with symp-

:toms, and very confused symptoms at

that, and not with causes. Once a
war has broken out, all experience in-
dicates that resolutions of non-partici-
pation will be swept aside by a high
tide of national passion; there will be
no alternative but to take part in it,
Our sole hope is to prevent the war
from coming about; and I submit that
it can be prevented, not by resolutions
of non-participation, but by support-
ing a policy of codperation by the
United States with other countries in
constructive measures to remove the
causes of war and to act in unity to
preserve the peace.

Student opinion as to the folly of
war Should indeed be made vocal; but
it will be more effective if it is. con-
structive and offers practical guidance
to our legislators. /It is of little help
to the President and to members of
Congress to be told that the student
body of the country wants peace; they
themselves want it quite as much. But
it would be of very great help to them
to know that student opinidn would
support them against the isolationists
in adopting a policy of codperation
with other nations in concrete meas-
ures to promote peace.

C. G. FENWICK.



We feel that Dr. Fenwick’s criti-
cism of the recent peace rally is a
justified one. We do think, however;
that it might be of interest to many
people to know that some __ positive
measures were undertaken in order to
express to legislators in Washington
concrete proposals to which we hoped
they would give consideration. The
views of the students were expressed
in telegrams sent to the President,
and to Pennsylvania’s two Senators.
They were worded as follows:

“We, the students of Bryn Mawr
College, will back any government
measures to promote international
peace, but we do not believe that in-

which it has, and the great wealth of able and distinguished people who
come each year to/speak to the students in lectures sponsored by the
various foundations. Bryn Mawr’is particularly fortunate in the fact
‘that although the foundations and appropriations for this purpose are
not nearly so numerous as we would wish, those which we do have are
wisely designated so that speakers in many fields of activity come here
to lecture to us. Many Alumnae with whom we have spoken have
mentioned to us that their recollections of famous lectures are among
their most keen and delightful memories of their college careers.
Doubtless the case will be the same with us, or rather with those of us
who take the trouble to go to lectures. We admit, of course, that prob-
ably no one would care to go to all the talks given. in Goodhart and
the Deanery, and we know for certain that no-one could possibly have
the time for them, but nevertheless we do feel that there is ample cause
to believe that student attendance could be better on many occasions.
The essential interest is not lacking, we feel sure, and all that is neces-

For Obtaining Funds

friend of his, who is head of a Phila-
delphia broadcasting station, told him
only recently that he would be glad
to arrange a broadcast for Bryn
Mawr, the entire proceeds of which
would go to the Drive.

Mr. Howard Goodhart spoke of
Bryn Mawr’s many contributions in
. varied fields and gave a very practical
suggestion that some money might be
gained by the Seniors through the
means of requesting aunts, cousins
and friends to give to the Drive the
amount of money that they had plan-
ned to spend on flowers at Commence-
ment. The recurring feeling of opti-
mism which interspersed the many
practical suggestions advanced in the
meeting was again in evidence when
Mr. Ward Canaday expressed the be-
lief that even more than a million dol-
lars might be obtained. He also stat-
ed that it might be a good idea to
widen the scope of the publicity by ap-
pealing not so much for a new build-
ing, but rather by emphasizing the
means of giving Bryn Mawr the tools
to enable her to continue to turn out

the able, educated and cultured women’

for which she is so noted. Mr. J.
Henry Scattergood, the college Treas-
urer, expressed a point of view which
is eminently practical, but which at
the same time presents difficulties,
that the total sum to be. raised must
probably come more from a massing
together of comparatively small gifts,





This means that many more people}

must be approached and some of the
responsibility for this must. be borne
by undergraduates. He remarked in
closing, that..Mrs. Slade was always
surprising him with her ability to ac-
complish the impossible and that he
t she and her fellow workers





again. Mr. Charles Hopkin-
ter first asking not to be called

talk Qn what he hoped we would do
in -platmi the new building. . He
wished that, ‘above all, we should

make it something beautiful as well
as useful.

Mrs. Manning concluded the meet-
ing with some amusing anecdotes
which dealt with her experiences in
the 1920 campaign, which she told in
order to show that it pays never to
give up hope, no matter how unsuc-
cessfully an interview seems to be
turning out. Following the departure
of some of the guests who had to re-
turn to their varied pursuits, those
who remained explored the mysteries
of Dalton. All who went were unani-
mous in expressing their sentiments
that the tour spoke volumes more than
anything else could in showing Bryn
Mawvr’s genuine needs. >

will not allow a few people talking in
terms of selfishness to decide to sacri-
fice humanity—something which is not
unthinkable, since we have seen that
it can happen. We must use’our influ-
ence to make fhe men we know refuse
to go to war.

Barbara Cary presented the cause
of peace as a matter of pressing im-
portance. Our great need is for the
strong conviction that peace is essen-
tial, and we must back this belief by
good reasons rather than by idealistic
abstractions. We must be willing to
carry out our convictions, for it is
apathy which is most dangerous of
all. Peace advocates in the next war
will have clearly defined problems,
such as whether we shall lend our aid
as nurses or as reconstruction aides.
Few of us will feel strongly enough
to take the part of conscientious ob-
Yet there will be more of







them in the next war because of. this
widespread movement; therefore they
will be more severely dealt with than
ever. We must put ourselves unmis-
takably on the side of world peace.

Mrs. Olmsted, secretary of the
Women’s International League for
Peace and Freedom, concluded the

meeting.- She belieyes that this dem-
onstration is a sign that the Ameri-
can student is growing up, becoming
aware of the part he is soon to play
in his country’s affairs and those of
the world, :and aware of the shadow of
war which falls across. everything
today. Many more members of a
community would be involved in a
modern war than in the past; women
would be disregarded.

People abroad do not have these
democratic ideals, There, emotions are
played up, reasons played down. In
the United States as well, military
activities since the passing of the De-
fense Act in 1920 have become in-
creasingly dominant. The government
is spending as much on armory drill
as on the state department, and in

subtle Ways the military spirit is in-
sinuating itself into the national, po-
litical.and educational systems. Com-
pulsory military training in state uni-
versities gives evidence of this increas-
ing activity. Many of us will probably
die in conflict; but we have the right
to say for which side we will give up
our lives.

Peace work is quite as exciting as
war work. We must join our wit,
strength and courage to prepare our-
selves while there is yet time. We
must know where we stand. If. we
take action, great efforts will probably
be made to stop us, but no government
wishes to put large numbers of its

mocracy here, it is our duty to do our
best to make it work.

Shaw Is A Dead God,
Austin Gray Asserts

Thought, Laughter Siidulated,
But Plays Often Sacrificed .
To Dialogue





BORES NEW GENERATION



Deanery, April 14.—Mr. Austin K.

Gray, speaking on “Bernard Shaw in
Retrospect,” announced that Shaw is
honorably dead; he has outlived his
generation and today is considered a
bore. Shaw did two things in his
plays: he stimulated people to think,
and having done that, he made them
laugh at what they thought. These
were Shaw’s most important assets,
and even they led to a fault, that of
sacrificing the play to the dialogue.
Characterization, save for one or two
3 exceptions, is almost completely lack-
“a ing in Shaw’s plays.
. Recently one of the English week
a lies conducted a poll to find out who is
3 the biggest bore in England. There
were more than a thousand candidates,
and of these, Shaw, won by a hand-
some majority. His victory indicates
that whatever he may have to say
will be heard with that respect ac-
J corded a voice from the dead. Al-
; though Shaw is honorably dead, he is
j not yet honorably interred; “West-
minster Abbey still yawns for him,
in more than one sense.” The younger
generation of today has turned com-
pletely away from him.

Of the pre-war generation, Shaw
was the leading god. Besides stimu-
lating thought and making the thought
ludicrous, Shaw “talked a lot-of non-
sense about socialism, the slums, and
supermen.” He had, too, a loudly-pre-
claimed doctrine that women were not
individuals, but were merely custod-
ians of morality, the home and the
race. They were a “cosmic urge for
babies,” and men were necessary only
in so far as they satisfied that urge.
Shaw’s doctrine was as much_ sex
theory as the younget generaton could
stand. :

It was not until Mr. Gray was eight-
een that he realized Shaw’s existence
as a playwright; this occurred when
he went to seé You Never Can Tell.
He was thrilled and: shocked at the
unconventional scene for the first act,
a dentist’s office. In this act, the gen-
eral comedy situation was skillfully
produced. In the second act, the com-
edy seemed to change suddenly to
tragedy, and it was obvious that the
third act would be completely tragic.
The third act actually started toward
such an end, then “everything petered
out in talk.” Candida was the next
Shaw play that Mr. Gray saw; this
comedy followed the same general out-
line as You Never Can Tell.

It is true that Shaw, like all play-
wrights, has his own dramatic form-
i ula. His first act consists of an
5 introduction to the general situation

and the general characters,-and a dis-
cussion of issues such as the slums,
doctors, and the British empire. Al-
ways, too, there is Romantic Love. The
second act is a series of tragic knots.
eS In the third- act, everything disap-
pears except Romantic Love, which
remains only Jong enough to be kicked
off the stage. St. Joan and Caesar and
Cleopatra differed from Shaw’s form-
ula because they both dealth with his-
torical situations.
4 ' The test of Shaw is to see his plays
4 on the stage. Certdin of them are
good, even if they are “old stuff,” as
Candida and You Never Can Tell.
Caesar and Cleopatra, St. Joan, and,
probably, Pygmalion, will survive.
Other plays, like Getting Married, are
intolerable.

One of the main criticisms of Shaw
4 is that he has no sense of character;
; his plays consist merely of dialogue

and paradox. Shaw is at his porst
in characterizing women. Poze. t of
his doctrine of women’s lack of soul
and their single biological purpose, his
women lack rey and verisimilitude.

the rapid grawth of the Abbey, ‘the |
Rule for most of the western monks. |
Late in the sixth century the monas- |

tery of Benedict was destroyed by the,
Lombaids, but the monks, after a cen- |
tury of seclusion in Rome, returned to!
their site, and at the time of Charle-
magne the abbey became a quiet and |

tranquil center of monastic life. At,
the end of the ninth century it was:
raided by the Saracens and destroyed;
but in the eleventh century Desiderius,
an energetic builder, erected a huge
monastery which rapidly became the
most important one in Christendom.
Many changes have been made since,
particularly in the late Renaissance.

Correction

The College News wishes. to
announte ‘that it. is planned to
hold the Summer School in New
York state this summer. Because
of a misinterpretation of the
article on the Summer School
which appeared in the issue pf
April 10, the headline which
read “Summer School Omitted
One Year For Changes” should
have implied that there would
be an “intermission of the
School on the campus in 1935,”
and that it will not be omitted
altogether.

lish manner she delivered a dyed-in-



The Abbey owes much of its import-
ance and success to its location, for,'
far removed from the plain, it invited
the contemplative life and lofty medi-|
tations of the monk in retreat, yet its |
commanding position permitted the:
monks to exert a strong influence on|

active with the meditative life allowed |

ing the’ Renaissance of the twelfth)
‘century and to maintain peace in the
surrounding country so that arts and_|
culture could develop in the region of
Southern Italy. During the great

cathedrals, the universities, and the
growth of the scholastic philosophy,
the Abbey of Monte Cassino assumed
a leadership and enjoyed in the late
eleventh century under the Abbot De-;
isderius a golden age of political pow-
er and cultural influence.

Although some parts of the build-|
ings date back to early Christian cen-
turies, the principal structures are all |
late Renaissance. In 1349 one of the
earthquakes that periodically
this limestone region, destroyed many
of the structures, which were rebuilt,
while in the sixteenth century many |
buildings were torn down to build,
elaborate Baroque edifices. However,
the changes since the Abbey’s days of
glory have been principally surface |
and decorative, for the ground plan
has remained the same with few addi-
tions since Desiderius erected his unit
of church, dormitory, refectory, clois-
ter, courts, and accessory buildings in
the eleventh century. Today there is
little to suggest the Mediaeval and the
Romanesque for the richness of the
decoration, the Florentine marbles,
and the elaborate paintings and sculp-
ture of the church are all Baroque or
late Renaissance. Before the church
are two connecting courts, or atriums,
one above the other and separated by
a great flight of steps. The balconies,
pilasters, and ornate well-heads of
these courts reveal Baroque qualities;
the Egyptian granite of the pillars of
the inner court indicate again the Ori-
ental influences at work in the build-
ing of the monastery.

The church is now, like the other
buildings of the unit, a fine example of
Baroque architecture, and the interior
containing paintings by Bassano, is a
good illustration of the brilliant and
ornate seventeenth century Baroque.
Since excavations and restorations of
the Romanesque cannot be conducted
while monks still inhabit the hospice,
the fine manuscripts and documents of
the library are the chief source of in-
formation about the monastery dur-
ing the three centuries of great influ-
ence that Monte Cassino enjoyed.

in this sketch will remain in the minds
of those who saw it as an outstanding
and spectacular achievement in the
dance. There was much subtle feeling
in the gentle action of a dancer as she

group to pick up her knitting, eat a
bit of a chocolate bar or light a cig-
arette.. Each of the major sciences
was represented. There was a huge

a parody, written to the tune of Yow’re
the Top. This is beyond question an-
other choice bit, and we reprint it for
all who love the sublimely ridiculous:

You’re the top

You’re the Herben thicket

You’re the top

You’re a round-trip ticket

You’re the running pants that enhance
the legs of Grey



You’re a spot quotation, you’re in-
spiration

You’re Mother’s Day

You’re-the.time

Of a Pembroke sinner

You’re sublime

You’re a Deanery dinner

I’m a Ph.D. that’s fated soon to pop

But if, Baby, I’m the bottom, you’re
the top.

You’re the top
You’re a Fenwick collar

If only Fortune could have been
here to photograph a real Fashion
Show! Campus celebrities were thick
on Goodhart stage during the next
skit, while Dr. Grey did his best to
take pictures of the various under-
graduates, portrayed by faculty mem-
bers. First Miss Howe came by on
her way to hockey; next Mrs. Brough-
ton walked in front of the audience,
dressed in a trailing Indian print. The
real imitatf#ns soon began: Mrs.
Crenshaw wore Margaret Kidder’s
hat, so that no one doubted that she
was the owner of that unique head-
gear; Miss Walker was Sophie Hemp-
hill; Miss Lograsso burlesqued Betty
Bryan. Hulda Cheek, herself, could
not have been more like herself than
Miss Linn was, gloves, voice and all.
Miss Requa and Miss Fernon were
Betty Lord and Sally Park, respect-
ively. Evelyn Thompson, Agnes Hal-
sey, Isabelle Seltzer, Sarah Flanders
and Mary Howe DeWolfe all crossed
the stage in their best manner. Very
large bunches of flowers go to Miss
Palfrey and Miss Bancroft for their
imitations of/ Jean Porter and Bar-
bara Lewis.’ They not only looked ex-
actly like them, but spoke in voices so
much like Miss Porter’s and Miss
Lewis’s that those two students near-
ly had hysterics themselves. We now
mention what was probably one of the
higher points of the evening — Dr.
Nahm wrapped in a flowing blue cape,
‘a brightly colored handkerchief on his
head, and a large hand-bag by his
side, tripping across the stage; Paul-
ine Manship had been with us!

There seem to be innumerable plans
for getting rid of Dalton. In the fac-
ulty show even the gods on high were
used as devices. Dr. and Mrs. Ander-
son were a mighty pair; Juno urged
the destruction of the frail building;

Jupiter threw his thunderbolt. All of

the building, a beautifully constructed
miniature, which rapidly lost two
wings before our very eyes. Dr. Ten-
nent in his genuine Volunteer Fire
Department suit drove up in Dr.
Dewey’s Austin; he wanted to quench
the flames; but his scientific associates
restrained him.

“ In the final chorus Mrs. Collins and
Dr. Watson, Mrs. Diez and Dr. Mac-
Kinnon danced the Cachuca. They
were all even more light on their feet
es a good deal more exaggerated in
their movements than those under-
graduates who did the same dance last
year. As the last words of-the con-
cluding song came forth, and as the
heavy curtains were pulled across the
stage, every person in the audience
was laughing and clapping with all
of the feeble strength ‘which three
hours of ceaseless merriment had left
him. Much Ado But Not For Nothing
was not only a success in that it was
supreme entertainment and in that it
went over financially, but also because
it succeeded in telling the undergrad-
uates as a whole, in sugar-coated
form, that the faculty knows: just
about as much as they do.

The student organizations of these

five colleges have different names,



though their functions, besides those |

already mentioned, are much the same.
Wellesley has—a Senate consisting of"
student and faculty members, a
Council which is composed of st faents

only. Smith has a Student
with no faculty members. Mt. Holyoke
has a legislative body, called the
Hotse of Representatives, in which
faculty members are included. Vassar
has a very satisfactory system: the
chief student officers. are the president
of the Student Association, who cor~
responds to Bryn Mawr’s Undergradu-
ate Association president, and _ the
Chief , Justice, corresponding to our
president of Self-Government. There
are four major organizations at Vas-
sar, the Church, Political, Dramatic,
and Athletic ‘Associations. The first
includes all Social Service work, and
the second the International Relations
Club, and debating. All smaller club:
and organizations come under thesé
four heads.

the same problems, and because it
