| Rites Finch Quotes the
Alabaster Princess
On © Friday evening, January the
tenth, under the auspices of the Parents’
Association of the Thorne School, Miss
. Lucine Finch presented Her Mammy’s
= Stories in Goodhart Hall. , Miss Finch
commenced" by announcing that she would,
tell these stories exactly as they were told
to her by -her old Negro inammy. Miss
Finch’s. Negro mammy had been bought
in the New Orleans slave market and
died in New Orleans a few years ago
after giving loyal service to three genera-
tions of the Finch family. She was of
royal blood and always called herself an
Alabaster Princess. At the end “of a
long life, said Miss. Finch, she -was as
much a princess as in the beginning, for
slavery had not touched.her inner aris-
tocracy. Her father was a_ high-class
Moor whose daughter, later Miss Finch’s
was stolen and sold by the
mammy,
Moors when he became converted to
Christianity.
Miss: Finch assured her audience that
‘she told these stories in a true spirit of
‘reverence—reverence for the stéries them-
~ selves and for the old woman’s religiorf.
The first number in Miss Finch’s pro-
nie gram was the story of Moses inthe Bul-
rushes. This was followed by two old
songs chosen from a collection of Negro
Ayries—which..Miss_.Finch._has__compiled.
; “Not,” said Miss Finch, modestly, “that
I pretend to. be a singer, but because I
think “itis beauty.to— preserve them.”
The songs were: Nobody Kiiows

U. S. ABOLISHED SLAVERY
The Second Event in the Bryn Mawr
Series was. ‘Pygmalion,’ by George
Bernard Shaw. The play wads. pre-
sented by the Theatre Guild. in Good=
hart Auditorium, Tuesday afternoon,
December 17. A_ play of Shavian
thrusts. and jibes, tested by ‘years of
theatrical use, “Pygmalion” is of itself
solidly entertaining. ‘The. characteri-
zation by the Theatre Guild players, al-
though it. seemed not “always to hark
back to a just interpretation of Mr.
Shaw, was adequate; it was more than
|adequate in Mr. Doolittle as rendered
by Dudley Digges, and in the not over-
ranting moments of the eccentric Hig-
gins,..Pygmalion himself, as rendered
by Elliot Cabot. Mr. Shaw, as usual,
has a text for his sermon: phonetics;
in his preface, he affirms, with one can-
liberately didactic, and its subject es-
teemed so dry that I delight in throw-
ing it at the heads of wiseacres who
repeat parrot-like that’art should never
be-didactic.”
Higgins, a teacher extraordinary Yof
phonetics, becomes professionally en-
chanted by the tones of the Cockney
wench, Eliza, and resolves to take her
into his flat and “make a duchess out
of this draggle-tailed gutter. snipe.”
Moreover, Higgins succeeds, and pro-
duces an exquisitely. empty-headed
“lady” —Eliza herself has wits in plenty
—of long -drawn-out ‘syllables; Eliza’s
manufactured airs are absorbed as the
latest mode by the social aspirant: Clara
Hill, and enslave her brother Freddy.
This Pygmalion however-is a boor in
‘hijsy extravagant whimsies. and unman-
ly conduct; his interest in~ Eliza is
merely scientific and practical: she is
the proditct of a “job,” and incidentally
she is.a good girl for picking up his
slippers; that the girl may have “feel-
fings” .is not his concérn, and he is
rather tired of the whole affair by the
time he has .finished her off. Eliza,
his
indifference even to her
achievements, throws the slip-
per at “him, rouses him to. self-right-
eotis - indignation and runs away. ° Hig-
gins finds her at the house of his
mother, and he, using abominable lan-
guage, comes as close as ever he can
to apology; Eliza gives him a final
rebuff and ends the play with a threat
to rival Higgins in his profession. The
action is thus left up in the air, but in
the wicked postscript those interested
may: discover a statement telling of
Eliza’s subsequent marriage to Freddy
Hill.
Shaw’s plays are’ not spectacles; the
scenery is negligible and «success de-
pends upon the “getting across’ of. the
lines and the implications.. The open-
ing scene under the portico of St. Paul’s

today lies in the number of subjects to
be taught; the older. type of education
was more limited in its scope, and its
problems were infinitely- simpler ; a good
deal can be said for a curriculum limited
to certain subjects. But when you teach
only a half dozen subjects you neces-
sarily narrow the outlook~of the whole
school community; no logical reason
exists for such a limitation, sincé many
subjects, such as Economics. and So-
ciology, are .closely-related to every-day}
life, and without some range of knowl-

. ®
Requirements and
seem» to be unnecessarily complicated.
The present demand for more time for
individual work isin one sense new:.: A
few..years.ago the .students.were always
telling the faculty that they lectured too
much, but the undergraduates then wished
discussions in which all would take part.
It has since then been shown that in some
subjects reading and time for study are
more necessary than discussion.
The Committee is considering new ar-
rangements of courses which. will make
a more flexible lecture schedule. It has
been shown that a course may fheet two
or three times a week, and the students
do.as much work as for a_ five-hour
course. The real question: is how many
subjects the student should work on at
once. The Committee—believes: that the
student ought: to: spend one-third or one-|.
fourth of her time on each of her funda-
mental courses. This would mean taking
less courses, and many students object
to. such a plan. Their objection rests
on the perfectly sound idea that they do
not wish to miss one opportunity’ for
becoming acquainted with many differ-
ent kinds of subjects. The Committee
would be glad if it could work out a sys-
tem by which the student could inform
herself along general lines while devot-
ing half her time or more to a special
line. But it is essential to give all major
courses and regmired courses ‘the -time
they deserve. The work of the college:
cannot accomplish what it should, unless
the basic. sources—major and required
subjects, have the place they deserve in
the students’ work-timé and_ leisure.
The Curriculum Committee may possi-
bly not be ready with a definite plan this
year. They are glad of suggestions from
the undergraduates even when they can-
not incorporate all suggestions into their
plans.

DOOLITTLE IS SHAVIAN
On Wednesday night, January 8, Pro-
fessor Alfred North Whitehead, of Har-
vard University, gave the’ first lecture
on the Mary Flexner Foundationship irr
Goodhart Hall... Professor Whitehead
took: as his title The History of Ideas.
This title as such, he said, might be
taken as symbolic of the history of the
human race. But the human race must
write its own history, and it is this fact
which Professor Whitehead proposed to
consider by illustrations and examples.
The facts in detail depend on scholarly
criticism; for the scholar selects from
his observatitns and gives his own inter-
pretations of events, thus arriving at pure
history. The notion of history must be
devoid of personal and petty prejudices.
The historian is dependent on his. own
ej Judgment as. to ‘what important to!
TAY RD Vire
is
Take first the political dinars of man:
kind. Hegel observed it in the Prussian
‘State, Macaulay later in England. One
cannot consider the wisdom or folly. of
it £xcept, by some standar@d of judgment
constituting ‘the driving force of ideas.
The notion ot mere knowledge is ‘one
to dismiss. Graduations appear in all gen-
eralities. Specific forms appear arising
from the specific circumstances of the
| race and of the civilization. There is_an
emotional accompaniment to these gen-
eralities due to a feeling of. one’s own
importance, and to the specific ‘forms. in
which they are manifested: in a national
anthem for instance. ;
Gibbon’s History tells a two-fold tale,
It tells of the decline and fall of the
Roman Empire over a period of a thou-
sand years; he describes administration,
wealth, religion, and philosophy; he por-
trays greatness and smallness, soldier and
a happiness and horrer. But
throughout the whole it is Gibbon who
speaks.
Transition-in All Ages.
Comparing steam and democracy, and
barbarism and Christianity, steam and
barbarism are defenseless agencies, de-
mocracy and .Christianity are articulated
beliefs. A well-marked transition can be
traced to steam and democracy, A period
of change is one of hope or despair; of
discovering new worlds or of being
haunted on the shore. It is easy to exag-
gerate in contrasting the ages, for one’s
point of view depends entirely on surviv-
ing records and whosever’s feelings they
represent. In every transitional age there
is an oncoming complexity of. habit be-
tween which lies force of habit. All de-
pends on the standpoint of ‘criticism; a
history of ideas depends on a knowledge:
of history. ‘
Man is not. young, and in all ages
there is*always transition. In. the forest
age some who tried to climb and live in
trees became known as apes; then some
of the race descended. to the ground and
became men. It is the order. of history.
The Huns had some ideas preferable to
the degenerate’ Romans. Steam engines
represent brute force.
Intellectual impulse is subject to gen-
eral ideas and specific notions. Each age
| distinguished by high effort finds some
profound cosmological outlook, which is
only partly expressed. Intellectual strife
is mainly concerned with generalities. In
each period the form is transcendent, and

On N. S. F. A. Conference
In-Chapel on Thurgday Margaret Mar-
tin, 30, gave her impressions of: the fifth
jannual congress of the National Student
Federation of America which met at Stan-
ford University from the first ‘until fhe
fourth of January. The. first’ conven-
tion of. this federation .was held at
Princeton five years. ago. “Its aim
was a permanent and inclusive organi-
zation of colleges and universities in
America. This movement was a part
of a general development of student or-
ganization in countries throughout the
world, begun in Strasbourg in 1919, and
resulting in.” the International _Cofifed-
eration of Students.” This year the
derstanding of problems of students.in
Amefita and abroad which would lead
to a sort of general citizenship of the
world.
“The congress began on January the
first with an informal tea in the after-
noon and a reception at the President’s
house in. the evening. Such social ac-
other dance—continued throughout the
‘conference. ‘In the business meetings
many: pertinent
self-government for men’s colleges and
self-government for women’s colleges.
These-_diseussions-.were_very—illumi-
nating. Apparently some colleges have
quite .surprising difficulties, especially
the big universities where. there are
problems’ of cheating that are simply
phenomenal. In comparison our col-
lege seems quite serene. The
Honor System was another subject for
discussion, and there was put the ques-
tion: ‘Is the Honor System of enough
importance that the N. S. F. A. should
sponsor its promotion and extension?’
Under the heading Buying and Selling
the problem of ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ checks
arose, and for a moment almost every-
one was at a loss until it was ex-
plained that these were bad checks
often passed by students at those col-
leges that had co-operative stores run
by students. In the future it was-sug-
gested that there be regional confer-
ences held- before the large congress.
“As for general impressions one saw
the distinct difference’ between the
Eastern and the Western colleges, and
between the large and the small col-
leges. The larger ones were so much
more. difficult..to.handle.. * The real
value of the conference is in its inter-
structive. This: year the Bulgarian
students are being helped.
“At the close of: the conference sev-
eral resolutions were passed: first, that
there be elected.an executive secretary.
to act as a definite managing head of
the Federation; secondly, that delegates
returning from the congress should es-
tablish local committees to make
people N. S. F. A.-conscious, and
thirdly, that a tax—finally ‘determined
to be two cents per capita—should be
levied on ‘students in all colleges par-_
ticipating in the Federation.”

is exemplified in the history of ideas. Its:

Although we realize that the New

on its chubby legs that it needs no

JUGGERNAUT
A thought burst upon us, some
which we can only now
express because of the unjournalistic
curriculum of our college which so
times our calendar, that we can.issue
only one number of the NEwsvin the
otherwise satisfactory month of Jan-
uary. The idea whereof .we speak,
is thought-provoking, and so we pre-
sent it as preparation for mid-years,
and as a thoroughly unfitting close
to the Christmas gayeties. It treats
of disaster, and unrelenting forces ;
| hence our title, and our. realization
oe the inappropriate position of our
| much introduced idea.
It occurred to us that three of the
four Theatre Guild plays presented
‘in Philadelphia diring December
\were concerned with the destruction
\of humanity by means of man’s own
mechanical ingenuity! The impli-
ion in R..U. aR. was far too, ob-
ious to bear interpretation; how-
ever, it was a possibly noteworthy
conclusion that human qualities and; Weber”

' Fan be it from our thought to
blance in the motifs of these three
plays; they have been presented all,
over the country. Should we accept
them as propaganda, as prophecy,
or as delightful fantasy ?

Twelve Against the Gods, Wm. Bolitho
ae (Simon and Schuster) *
. South African, stoker, soldier* Student,
newspaperman, and author of Murder for
Profit, William Bolitho has just written a
series of twelve short biographies in a
dynamically powerful style. I call these
biographies; the term is hardly applicable.
This versatile author actually assumes
that his reader knows at least the out-
lines of a subject’s life. With the mere
details no one need bother, for these
sketches are written to fulfill a general
proposition, not to tamper with specific
lives.
In his introduction Mr. Bolitho grips
the reader’s attention in the truly thrilling
statement of this proposition. . His twelve
subjects are adventurers-all, and accord-
ing to his own definition: “Adventure is
the irreconcilable enemy of law; the ade
venturer must be unsocial, if not in the
deepest sense anti-social, because he is
essentially a ‘free individualist. . .. The
adventurer is an outlaw. Adventure must
start with running away from: home.
“But in the mere fact that the. essen-
tially social-minded, the good, the kigd
and the respectable long to adopt the bi
venturer, it is clear that the opposition
set between adventure and order, between
the adventurer and society, is not exterior
to humanity, but an inner antithesis,
which divides our will.”
Carrying his train of thought another
step upon its way, Mr. Bolitho. adds that
an ddventurer who fails is a mere crim-
inal. But, “it is when* he imposes him-
self and gets out of reach of the police
that society's’ reaction is most~ curious

Siirprisingly Good Football Played | at
Bryn Mawr. —
The odd ¢lass team won the football
game from the even class team with a
score of 6-0. The umpire said that the
tackling was fearless, and that some of
the team play and signaling was. really
ggod.. “The Evens,” he said, “had some
‘good! tricky ‘plays; although quick, they
weren't always quick enough, and_ they.
made a pretty forward pass. -The Odd
backs were a little slow. Both teams
were better on the defensive tharigo on the
offensive, but,,of course, that was due to
their * inexperience.” Im conclusion,. he
said, they certainly played Surpriauely
good football.
.. The support of the sidelines was very
spirited. Red roses’ and violets; red and
green and blue arm bands and peanuts
were sold: M. Scattergood, 17; L. Chase,
77, cheer , leader for the Odds; H.

Houghton, 18, the Even cheer leaders,

shouts of the spectators. The proceeds,
over $20, goes to the College Settlement.
The life of the adventurer is a hard
one, and almost all of Bolitho’s chosen
twelve go down to an end which is less
than deservedly glorioiis: THis is because
the adventurer is’ always faced by the
natural laws of Order and of Chance.

hundred years this general idea haunted
the Mediterranean world, and yet the
basic weakness remained until a new
order dawned.
Meanwhile Christianity rose with fierce
ideals and enthusiasms for a program of
reform, and rapidly the world began to
assimilate the Platonic doctrine of the
human soul. The founders of Christian-
ity” believed that the end of the world
was at hand, which greatly influenced its
early followers.’ For instance, the Gali-
» lean peasantry were neither rich nor
poor; they were protected from the dis-
turbances of the Roman Empire, and led
simple lives of purity. This tone of life
made. fertile ground for the excellent con-
cepts in which mercy. prevailed over jus-
tice,
In eternal ideas we find examples of
formulated ideas effecting a transition.
The- great ideas in Christianity are spe-
- cializations of Platonic generalities. Thus
religious ideas are the specific notions of
generalities.
In the eighteenth century skeptical.
humanitarianism appeared derived-from
Bacon; Newton, and Locke of sixteenth
century .England. _ The French broad-
ened, clarified, and universalized the idea
of these men. But it was the British
government. which was the first to take
effective steps to abolish slavery.
Eighteenth Century Democratic.
A great idea in the sub-conscious mind
is like~the oceanslowly lapping at the
base of the new order. In.the last quar-
ter of the eighteenth century, democracy
came into being, and freed the slaves.
nd then: the nineteenth century nerved
itself, two. thousand. yearsafter—Plato,
to face the problem of slavery. The dif-
ficulty always lay in the. fact.that it -wagy
‘almost impossible to remove the evil with-
out introducing a worse one. Humanity
is so complex that human progress creeps
along from point to point, testing each
step. as it goes.
Many factors contributed to the final
emergence of human thought in the eight-
eenth_century..of Rousseau_and_ Voltaire.
The religious motive was then the chief
one, and one which gave a new direction
to the eniotions. The great Methodist
movement deserves untold credit, but
hereil?’ we ‘can appeatto~no “intellectual
motive, although it was’one of the most
noteworthy events in the history of ideas.
In the aristocratic England of that age,
the Methodist’ appeal to the working
classes worked wonders; and the idea of
the brotherhood of man became so vivid
a reality that slavery was no longer pos-
sible among civilized nations. There was
also heroism among the. Catholic” mis-
sionaries.
But neither Catholic nor Methodist
alone abolished slavery. The honor be-
longs to the Quakers, and America, in
which the Civil War was climaxical. © In
the evolution of thought is interwoven the
heroism of Methodist, Catholic, and
Quaker, but the origin lies back two thou-
sand years, when philosophy’ pressed itself
on the human soul in a world of. flux.

Filled with expectancy, by its peace-
fi surroundings and the simple, direct,
thrilling quality of its spire, you enter
the Church itself, and a wealth: of
white flashes back at you from pulpit
and woodwork and pews. The floor
is a pattern of gray stone, and. your
‘footstep is as loud as your whisper.
You look over the*edges of the old box
pews and imagine children with big
eyes just peering above the high backs.
“You reach over and turn the buckle on
the inside of the door and put one foot
up and wonder at the upholstery and
the carpets and the ctishions, different
in every pew. You notice the big pews
and the little ones and the medium-
sized ones, and imagine a family for
each.
The altar and the pulpit are at oppo-
‘site ends of the Church, and the organ
_is above the altar.
The windows are
disappointing, for they have no central
theme or color scheme, but the white-
ness all about dazzles you and~—keeps
your attention on the centre aisle. Be-
fore you go, be sure to study the enor-
mous “H and L” hinges on the door.

versal.”
To this. proposition the twelve adven-
turers are fed, in a form’ so pre-digested,
though rarely too obviously deformed for
recognition, that they are very acteptable
to its task. Alexander, the first of them,
is taken..as_a_kind of. fundamental type
hero: “In him, mere than anyone else,
are contained the secrets of the growth
and evolution of the character that unites
them all.” He and Casanova are: de-
picted’as under the influence of a “Fate,
which all languages have made feminine
perhaps because it is usually impolite to
women:”
enced by a more personal fate. He “is
characterized as @ “pathological liar,” an
adventurer because he was “the tremend-
ous outsider.” To Columbus, “Geography
was. Adventurer’s rich game preserve.”
The next adventurer is Mahomet, ‘charac-
terized as-an adventurer Df the spirit,
who really began his religious’ mission
“as a Rotarian enthusiast racking his
brain for a world-beating ‘slogan for the
town of his heart.” Mahomet wanted
to make Mecca the aim of all travelers,
of all religions ; thus, his “Come to Mecca
slogan.” -The next. two sketches are of
Lola Montez, and of Cagliostro and Ser-
aphina. Number seven is Charles XII of
Sweden, in my opinion treated with as
much sympathy and insight as .any of
these adventurers, Wilson alone excepted.
Napoleon I is considered a worthy study,
but (and this is fypical Bolithon prose)
“We have first then to perform a slight
osteopathan operation on the backbone of
history, jf we are_not.only.to.admire.but
understand. It is a_matter of restoring
his. (Napoleon's) spinal motive - to its
right position, rescuing him from legend
and restoring him ameng humanity.”
Lucius. Sergius Catiline, “the Rich
Young Racketeer” of Romie,” now pre=
cedes Napoleon III, who is rounded out
by arfother typical word
devil, he never had-much style.”
dora Duncan is characterized as, perhaps
the greatest of women adventurers, and
then Woodrow ‘Wilson is treated in what
twirl—“poor

In Wilson the whole of the human

Bolitho’s style is often chatty, often
pure, journalistic, but it is never dead.
His wordiness has an“unending vitality,
it turns itself into the most fascinating
corners of imagery and symbolism, and
it always unravels itself before his mean-
ing is quite obscured. The man’s vocab-
ularly is an amazingly large one, as is his
fund. of general knowledge, and he seems
to make the most possible -use of both
these attributes. He often sets out quite
definitely, as in parts of the Columbus
sketch, to debunk historical legend; often,
I think, as perhaps with hiseinterpreta-
tion of Mahomet, he goes a step too far,
and verges on the merely smart. All in

a remarkable facility in reproducing the
