Shane Leslie Speaks

on Authentic Swift]



Disguised Handwriting Proven
False by Recently Found
Manuscripts

SWIFTIANA RE - EDITED





Shane Leslie, speaking in Goodhart
Wednesday evening, February 14,
on the subject of recent studies in
Swiftiana, gave his attention more
particularly to a textual criticism of
the pieces in the Swift . anthology
“written in Swift’s well-known dis-
guised hand.”

Because of this fiction concerning

Swift’s handwriting the famous Dean
is one.of: the worst-edited authors
in English literature. He signed his
letters, but never his poems. To
start from, then, the editor has only
half of Gulliver's Travels and half
of thé Journal to Stella, definitely in
his hand, and available in the Brit-
ish Museum. The other half of the
latter, a composite of gossip, politics
and “gossamer love making,” is pos-
sibly in some small cottage bureau.

The main task for the editor of
Swift is the comprehension of his
handwriting, and then the correct at-
tribution of the poems in the Swift

anthology, frequently in the hand- |.

writing of Swift’s contemporaries,

The Swiftian manuscripts have had:

a remarkably romantic history.

When Swift died in 1745, all of his |-

books were sold: the six-volume
Faulkner edition of 1735 was sold to
Lord Synge, it was lost, and reap-
peared only to be sold and lost again

- until Mr. Leslie recently discovered

it. The Chesterfield letters were also
eventually sold, and passed down
through the Shirley family; these,
too, were for some time lost to the
world. In all the catalogues of print-
ed books in the Shirley library there
was no mention of the manuscript.
Dr. Rosenbach, however, finally found
a reference to it, and sent Mr. Leslie
to find the manuscript.._It-was—an
arduous task, because the more re-
cent generations of the Shirley fam-
ily had neglected the library, allow-
ing the books to get stuck together
like bricks, for the livelier pleasures
of kennels and horse-racing. Mr.
Leslie had no success whatever in his
search here; and it was a stroke first
of luck and'then of genius that finally
procured the long-sought manuscript.
He was suddenly informed of the

Industrial Workers Tell
Views on Trade Unions



Twenty Bryn Mawr undergradu-
ates and fifteen industrial workers
discussed the effect of the NRA on
trade union organization at the meet-
ing of the Student-Industrial Group
supper-meeting last Wednesday, Feb-
ruary 14, under the leadership of Dr.
Fairchild. -The group concluded that
alti®ugh government, under the New
Deal, may help the workers some-
what, workers must still rely on their
own efforts to see that codes are en-
forced and working conditions im-
proved. :

The experience of workers repre-

_ senting the silk-spinning, hosiery, and

paper-box industries showed that the
NRA has reduced hours and raised
the minimum wage. On the other
hand, however, the weekly wage has

in- many cases been diminished, and-

~ the pace of the work increased.

Two silk spinners told the story of
their successful__strike to achieve
union recognition. Further requests

~ for a fairer distribution of the work

led to a seven weeks’ lock-out on the
pretense that the company had no
orders to be filled, but when they re-
‘turned to work, they found the situ-
ation improved. A hosiery worker,
who was an active union organizer,
reported that a strike in which she
was involved failed, perhaps because
it attempted too much,

The next meeting is tentatively -
for February 28 in the ‘Common
Room. The subject will be the func-

tions and aims of trade unions, .

‘Foundation of Fine Printing







Miss Park Outlines Plans
For Addition to Library



At Chapel on Thursday morning,
Miss Park discussed plans for a new
Library wing and for a proposed
change in the present Library stair-
case. The 150,000 books in the library,
which grow in number yearly by ap-
proximately 10,000, make more li-
brary space imperative. The idea of
building the-wifig® along the unfin-
ished back wall of the Cloisters was
discarded, for it would. make tthe re-
moval of the windows in the pleasant
seminary rooms at the ends of the
Two long
wings extending towards Rockefeller
Hall seemed a better plan. These
wings have been staked out. They do
not come unpleasantly close to Rocke-

present wings necessary.

feller and will, when completed, en-
close a very pleasant quadrangle.
The basement only of the wing will
be used for books, and will be ap-
proached by the present basement
passages. The building above will be
used by and specifically adapted to
the needs of the Departments of His-
tory of Art and of Archaeology. It
will contain offices for the members
of the faculty in these departments,
seminaries, class-rooms, a large room
where films can be shown, and, along
the back line, a permanent exhibition
room for all valuable pictures and
objects. The main part of the library
is not completely non+inflammable
and, consequently, some hesitation has
been shown in donating valuable ob-
jects of art for permanent exhibition
there.

When the Library was planned, it
was intended that the main reading
room. should-be a rectangle, unbroken.
by the ugly and unnecessary projec-
tions formed by the stair-case and
the reserve rooms. This plan may
still be realized if the present stairs
are removed and new flights of stairs
built at both ends of the library, or
even a single flight, in the style of
English colleges, built facing towards
Pembroke Hall. The main porch
would remain and be utilized perhaps
to hold a seated figure of Miss Tho-
mas. The books from the reserve
rooms would be placed in book-cases
rising to the height of the windows
around the reading room. Miss Park

would like to have this alteration

made when the new wings are being
built, as it would be less expensive
then.

Oxford Press Serves
Scholarly Interests



Laid by Gifts of Junius
and Bishop Fell :



BIBLES ARE

“The Oxford Press has always’
been something more than a commer-
cial venture,” said Dr, Herben, in-
troducing the exhibit of Oxford print-
ing in the Deanery on Monday after-
noon, February 19. “It .is and has
been a great institution for the serv-
ice of scholarship by the dissemina-
tion of good books.” © Oxford’s claim
to be the home of the first English
printer is unfortynately as false as
the tradition maintained by Univer-
sity College that it was founded by
Alfred the Great; but the Oxford
Press, if not the second after Caxton’s
at Westminster, was among the earli-
est in England. The colophon date on
the manuscript of Rufinus, On the
Creed has been shown by scholars to
be an error resulting from a typeset-
ter’s omission of one Roman numeral,
ten: it is, therefore, 1478 instead of
1468, and not prior to Caxton.

The Oxford Press at first had no
more than a casual association with
the University, as in- early days a
“seriptorium” was apt to be found
near any intellectual centre. The
first Press went out of existence in
1486, after nine years of publishing.
Established anew in 1507, it printed
for only fourteen months, at the end
of which it was suppressed by Wol-
sey. The:present Oxford Press was
founded in 1585, from which time to
the present moment its tradition is
unbroken. =

For the three hundred and forty-
eight years of its existence the Press
has the finest records of any publish-
ing house in the world: we know
every title published in those years
and for all of them, with few. excep-
tions,, copy is. available. The first

FAMOUS



title of the 1585 Press was, appropri-
ately enough, a Latin one, Moral
Questions About Aristotle’s ‘Ethics.

From 1585 to the turn of the century,
seventy or eighty books were put out
by the Press.

The vicissitudes of the Press have
been many, pleasant and unpleasant.
It has always been exceptionally for-
tunate in its benefactors, who have
endowed it with funds, and more wel-
come even than funds, type. At the
beginning of the sixteenth century, ty-
pography did not keep pace with the
advanced output of books. That pub-
lishers then were careless about the
artistic presentation of their books the
horrid condition of Shakespearean
dramatic quartos is sufficient witness.
No care was paid even to the design
of the title-page; the plays were pro-
duced on- gray pap¢r with blunt type
like Browning’s “scrofulous French
novels.”

Friends of the Oxford Press, real-
izing that more care must be given to
the artistry of publication, began as
early as 1629 to present it with im-
ported Continental types, particularly
those of Holland and Flanders. From
1666 to 1672, Dr. Fell, the Bishop of
Oxford, endowed the Press with a
set of Dutch type, which laid the
foundation of fine printing at the
Press and exerted an enormous in-
fluence in raising the standards of its
publishing competitors. Fell, usual-
ly remembered by. an opprobrious
quatrain, should be more properly re-
garded and cherished ‘asa benefactor
to printing. His punches and mat-
rices are preserved to the present

International Club Holds
Round Table Discussion



The Internationa] Relations Club’s
round table discussion of Latin -Amer-
ica, held February 13 in the Com-
mon Room, was a highly successful
experiment.

Carmen Duany, ’34, who was re-
sponsible for planning the round: ta-

le, opened the discussion with a

rief account of the International
Relations Clubs’ Regional Conference
on Pan-Americanism, which she- at-
tended in Washington last December.
The following students also gave
short reports on different aspects of
the Latin American question: Lucy
Fairbank, Margaret Simpson, Eliza-
beth Bingham, Elizabeth Bock, and
Grace Meehan.

These reports emphasized the diffi-
cult “topography of South - America
and the large Indian element in the
population as reasons. forthe prob-
lems which the Latin republics are
facing today. Those countries with
thé least Spanish blood are the least
progressive. Transportation is still
very primitive, although the new air-
lines are bringing outlying districts

into closer contact with the capitals,

se that trips which once required
months when geo ae canoe or mule
train now take y a few hours.

In the post-war decade, Latin
America enjoyed a brief era of un-
precedented prosperity. American
banks practically compelled the vari-
ous governments to accept loans. The
depressign has, however, been par-
ticularly severe in Latin America.
Since it was impossible to keep up
payments on the public debt and the
New York banks insisted on receiving
their interest, the only way. to re-
move the burden of these obligations
was revolution.

The Pan-American movement, ini-
tiated by the United States Govern-
ment, has attempted to.foster soli-
darity and good-will between Amer-
ica and the other republics of the
western: hemisphere, but the Latin
countries resent American predomi-
nance, and the interventions under-
taken with a corollary of the Monroe
Doctrine as an excuse have aroused
hostility.. British and German trad-
ers have been getting an increasing
proportion of Latin American trade.
Proposals are now being considered
for continentalizing the Monroe Doc-
trine and treating the other republics
as partners equally interested in its
enforcement.

As a follow-up, of this discussion,
Mrs. Manning will give a talk on
Mexico next Tuesday.

Miss: King Discusses
Gertrude Stein’s Art



Impressionists, Cezanne, and

Cubists Show Parallels
to Her Writing



TECHNIQUE IS ORIENTAL



In ‘the Common Room, Thursday
afternoon, Miss King gave an illum-
inating talk on Gertrude Stein and
French Painting, which was based on
her personal recollections of . Miss
Stein and on her wide reading in the
authoress’ works. poe

‘Miss King met Miss Stein first in
New York through Mabel Weeks, and
Estelle Rumboldt, the sculptor. Miss

Stein used to visit Miss King in her ~

“penthouse” apartment on 657th
Street, cram herself out of. the win-
dow to admire the vista of the river
and- the buildings, and- finally settle
down to talking at length about any-
thing from art to psychology. It was
about this time that Gertrude Stein
and her brother, Leo, passed much
time abroad, where they often hap-
pened to meet Miss King. An inter-
esting story is told of Miss Stein’s
falling asleep on the steps of St. John
Lateran in Siena, because the day
was hot and she was tired.
there the scene shifts after a lapse
of several years to Paris, where the
two had taken a studio. Mr. Stein
was selling his fine collection of Jap-
anese prints in order to buy paint-
ings by the modern French—Renoir,
Cezanne, Matisse, and Picasso. Miss
King did not see Miss Stein again
until just before the War, when she
enjoyed looking at new French paint-
ing and learned to understand it a
little, with the aid of an introduction
to Picasso’s dealer. During the War,
Miss Stein drove an ambulance in
the south of France, and “worked like
a dog,” as she, herself, expressed it.
And the war-time experiences rever-
berate in her work. The next’ meet-
ing was in Madrid, where Miss King
was working at the Bibliotheque Na-
tionale, and Miss Stein was working
late at night, and sleeping well into
the morning. She gave Miss King
her manuscripts of the volumes of
portraits. Earlier was the one of
Mabel Dodge, which circulated and
was imitated so widely at college;
but it was then that Miss King form-
ed that habit of continuous reading
which she considers necessary to get
a full understanding of Miss Stein’s
writing. Today when Miss King is
in Paris, she always goes over to Rue

Wisdom of Playing Follow-the-Leader Is
Driven Home to Bryn Mawr Stag Line



The cryptic process by which a
stag line unanimously decides to re-
nounce the pleasure of rushing nine-
tenths of the beauteous damsels gath-

ered at any dance for their express
delectation has long been a source of
wonder and admiration to our un-
initiated eye. Football coaches turn
green with envy and throw themselves
into untimely graves at thg sight of
the team spirit and concerted action
going to waste along the edges of
every dance floor. We, too, have
nearly been driven to untimely graves
by our attempts to puzzle out, just
how it happens. that half an hour
after a dance begins, the stag line
to a man has selected which girls are
to be avoided at any cost. But now
that we have been part of a stag line,
we are no loriger in a state of be-
wilderment: its devious plan of.ac-
tion seems to us amazingly clear ard
éven ‘more admirable than before.
Our recent gymnastic encounter
with Princeton’s more vociferous
members got off to a most auspicious
beginning, as far as we were con-
cerned. The first two men we cut in
on danced well and were amusingly
caustic about the Glee Club, Prince-
ton, Bryn Mawr, and men and wom-
en in general: the evening seemed

to augur well, and we returned to

the stag line feeling very pleased



with our brilliant discoveries, only
to find that every other girl in the
stag line had discovered them too and
was describing them in lyric terms
to the late arrivals. Somewhat daunt-
ed, we bared our elbows at a dan-
gerous angle and plunged anew into
the fray, cutting in at random on
every side. After several rebuffs and
a terrific kick on the shin, we found
ourselves cursing in the arms of a

oe be.
future minister, who reproved us at

length for our language, refused a
cigarette on principle, and described
to us the iniquitous state of the col-
legiate soul throughout five dances
and four intermissions!

When we finally re-escaped- to—the-

stag line, we found its few remaining
members laughing gleefully at our
obvious discomfiture and looking sad-
ly at the other members, who had
formed into two bands and were
shamelessly pursuing around the floor
our two original discoveries. The rest
of the evening augured very ill, and
in fact went from bad to worse. Our
best friend trudged woefully past and
practically threw a man into our re-
luctant arms; he told us that he was

delighted there was no alcoholic bev-

erage to be found in the punch be-
cause, after conducting a long re-

search, he had decided that people

who drank were no happier than

; Button, Button - ;
Every time we are so fortunate as to discover a typewriter within

our reach, we are overcome with an uncontrollab

y desire to sit down

and write an editorial about: taking books from ’the Reserve Room
without signing for them. We. strongly suspect that the college be-
lieves we write them for lack of anything else to write about, and
although we are greatly ‘tempted to write’ a stock editorial on the
subject and reprint it regularly every other week, it is not true that

we write continually on this subject in order to fill* up space.

We

write about it, wishing all the while that we did not have to, because
it invariably happens that on the rare occasions when we do battle our
way through the snow and ice to the library, we find that the books
we want have been missing for the past six weeks, and we are always
accused, probably as a shot in the dark, of having taken them!
‘Because we have attempted, somewhat futilely, in the past to create

a-commotion and launch a reform in the matter of pilfering books,

the library envisions another walrus in its midst and has now: brazenly
accused Us of having ‘with sobs and tears, sorted out those of the
largest size, holding a pocket handkerchief before our streaming eyes” !
Our Reserve Room privileges will undoubtedly be withdrawn in the
near future, and we look with distaste on the possibility of expulsion
as the lowest variety of sneak-thief, which seems to loom uncomfortably
in the offing. We bitterly regret that we ever mentioned the subject
to you, but since we have done so and cannot now deny it, we plead in
the voice of one crying bitterly in a hushed wilderness that this unfair,
dastardly, nefarious, abominable, craven, cowardly, execrable, odious,
and abhorrent practice should cease at once and that the missing books
should be returned now before We have to replace them. It is amazing
that our slightest word on the subject of examinations and marks

_ should meet with reprisals from the faculty, whilé our most vigorous

and vehement insults hurled at the undergraduates meet with absolutely

no results at all.



Speak Up, Ladies!

g

We have seldom regretted a proof error in the News to the extent

that we regretted that which appeared in the editorial concerning

marks.

The board of the News was in complete agreement with the

statements made in that editorial and the qualification which appeared
in italics at the end of the article was intended to apply to the appeal
We feel that such a mistake was more
than unfortunate as those to whom our efforts are addressed are already
too often inclined to take what we say with a grain of salt and the
mental reservation that the Red element in~this country is on the

increase.

However, we meant what we said about the inadequacy of the

present; system of marking, and we are on the verge of going further
in our campaign to advocate that numerical marks be abandoned in
favor of a more general system of classification, or that the numerical

marks be privately dispensed instead of posted for the morbid benefit

of all and sundry who have nothing better to do than stand by the
door to the office of the Secretary to the Registrar and watch the

parade.

The group which gathers around the posting boards never

ceases to remind us of the crowds which collect in front of a house
where a particularly unpleasant crime has been committed. ‘We have
spent hours in this column arguing against a system which makes a
student’s marks public property. We feel that it a violation of the
privacy of the individual and leads to embarrassment and unpleasant-
ness. It also places the student who fails a subject, or who does not
accomplish_a creditable mark, in the position of a public curiosity.
The chief joy of many of our comrades is making sure that they have
passed all their exams and then launching into extensive research to

find out who flunked what and how many times.

We feel that it is

none of their business, to put the matter briefly, and we will never
cease to do battle for some system whereby the news will be broken to
the undergraduate privately and a bit more gently than at present.
However, we have no desire to occupy the unattractive position
of one championing a lost cause and we are going to cease our out-
bursts on the subject of marks unless in the near future we have some
indication from the student body as to their feelings on the matter.
If we could arm ourselves with: concrete evidence that we were backed
by the majority of the students as regards our criticisms and sug-
estions we could accomplish something, but until we are so armed

Dear Hatter—

I met a man from Princeton the
other night. Ah me! I guess it
must be half a week agone. I loved

him the instant I saw him. And
he took a great interest in me:- He
asked me twice where I came, from—
twice during one dance! I was so
flattered. He-.was 80 cute, too! I
could just see over the top of his
head. I would go anywhere for him
—even to New Jersey. Only he is
so small. Shall I throw convention
to the winds—even though he is so
small?

; Yearning.

No do not throw convention td the
winds. Not ‘that. Be quite dis-
creet. First of all ask him if, he
uses tobacco or strong drink. And
if he does, tell him—you know, in a
nice motherly way—that that is what
is preventing his growth. Then,
when he grows, up, your love ‘may
ripen into something really beautiful.



Dear Mad Hatter—
What’s the matter
With the undersigned?
I have thought
That true love ought
Always to be blind.
Is my youth purveying truth
When he says that he
Cannot ‘dear’ me
When he’s near me—
Near enough to see? é
—Says my face
Makes this the case:
Hates a feature mole-y,
And abuses
And refuses
Bonds the least bit holy.

Those lips that make

And waxeth wroth.

veal yourself. You will find him

Dear Mad Hatter—

My husband doesn’t love me. He
seems stranger and stranger of late.
I’m sure something dreadful is go-
ing to happen: he says such strange
things that sometimes I’m afraid he
will murder somebody—yet he is the
gentlest professor in State U. Like
the other morning—he put his papers
in his brief case and said, “Will you
please be quiet when you pass oui?”

I am terribly scared... Advise me
how to hald his love.

Worried Wife.

Try the cut-comeback. (I enclose
our little handbook in State U. col-
ors, entitled “College Life in the
Raw.’’)



Dear Miss Mad-Hatter,

I wouldn’t have started to write
what’s going to be heart-rending for
you and me both, if I just weren’t
at the end of my tether. I can’t tell
my roommate or even my best friend.
It’s not physiological, either. Oh,
Miss Mad Hatter, it’s worse. It’s
awful. It’s love. I hope you can see
the tears which have fallen from my
eyes. I’ve drawn rings around them
so you can’t miss them. I am sitting
here quivering like an aspic leaf.

You see, I went to the dance: last
Saturday night because I’d seen the
most beautiful man in the Princeton
Glee Club. He was in the front row
and I thought when I spotted him,
Oh, my God, girl, you’re done for,

‘you’re gone now. So at the dance I

cut in on him six times in rapid suc-
cession. This is the awful part—
when I was floating with him for the
sixth time, all sort of stirred up inside
the way you get, he said to me in his



faint. I felt all motherly and thrill-
ed and I said, Baby, my poor little
baby, just sit down while I get you
a glass of water. But when I came
back he was gone and I couldn’t find
him anywhere. What am I to do?
I do not even know his name. I for-
got it. What.is i proper approach?
Iam,
Broken Hearted.

Broken Hearted: I understand
perfectly, dear. Every young girl
has these moments. Now, if I were
you, I should write a complete de-
scription of him on your little envel-
ope and send it care of the Princeton
Glee Club. That will surely reach
him, for I know everyone will - be
sympathetic. He will be delighted to
receive any fragile sentiments you
may care to enclose. Don’t be too
violent at first, dear. Love is a fra-
gile flower, helped along by tender
zephyrs rather than by strong hot
blasts of passion. * I am looking for-
ward to seeing this little romance
bud and will be glad to hear from
you when it blossoms, too,

News of the New York Theatres

We batted exactly 50 per cent. on
the predictions which we made in
this august column last week concern-
ing the reception that two new plays
were likely to receive at the hands of
the New York critics. We were
borne out in our optimism by the en-
thusiastic reviews which The Shining
Hour called forth, but we were hard-
ly prepared for the ecstacies which
the boys in the aisle seats indulged
in concerning our own little Dennis
King in Richard of Bordeaux. After
reading all the papers available in the
frantic hope that some brave soul
would say that Mr, King is not the

answer ‘to the prayers of those who"

want to live again the happy hours
of the reign of said Richard, we. fin-
ally had to give up and take refuge
in the thought that we probably
wouldn’t have liked it had we been
there — but we were here, so that
thought had little bearing on the situ-
ation.’ Anyway, we shall start by
saying what a good play The Shin-
ing Hour is, and hope that we fill
the column before arriving at the
other animal.

In that play Raymond Massey,
Adrienne Allen, and Gladys Cooper
find themselves in a Yorkshire farm-
house, alone with sex in a most subtle
disguise designed by the author, Mr.
Keith Winter. Mr. Massey and Miss
Allen are happily married and living
a life of patrician ease in commun-
ion with the great outdoors; their
chief. divertissements being Bach,
and steeplechases, in which the man
of the house ridés heroically while
the lady hopes for the best. Into
this pleasant atmosphere slinks Miss
Cooper, as the wife of an odd broth-
er. The first inkling we had that
there was trouble brewing was when
we were startled to find the same
Miss Cooper in the arms of Mr. Mas-
sey in front of the fireplace. -A-hasty
glance at the program informed us
that trouble most certainly was in the
air, and with the entrance of Miss
Allen we were sure of it. The re-

maining acts “of the o opus were con=

cerned with the struggles of the two
women to dominate Mr. Massey, who
did nothing to resolve the situation,
as he was equally willing to be done

Varsity Wins Easily
Over Remnant Team



Squad of Alumnae and Agnes
Irwin Students is Defeated
by 46-44 Score

CENTERS PLAY HARD



On Wednesday evening, the Var-
sity basketball teams defeated ‘the
Remnants, two teams composed of
alumnae of the Agnes Irwin School,
46-14 and 43-16.

Faeth and Boyd, although they had
an: unusually good eye for the basket,
seemed to have lost their almost un-
canny instinct of knowing where the
other was going to be, and, as a re-
sult, their passwork was rather con-
fused and at times even bad. In the
fourth quarter, however, they co-op-
erated-much-more- easily-and-qtickly,
did some nice passing and_ scored
some pretty shots. Following up, es-
pecially on the long shots, wouid,
however, keep the ball in the forward
court and hence give many more op-
portunities to score.

The centers were faced with an
unusually strong opposition, as Long-
acre and Remington, who held these
positions on last year’s Varsity and
were one of the best combinations ever
to play for Bryn Mawr, were both
playing on the Remnant team. Jones
and Larned played excellently and,.
except for the second quarter, when
their passing was not up to the mark
maintained a good offense and an un-
usually strong defense.

The guards played their usual
steady game and by tightening up
when Yeager was put in during the
second half, they managed to hold
her to seven points and made it prac-
tically impossible for her to get close
enough to the basket to score on
chip shots. ‘

This was the first game in which} }

the official team played as a whole,
and it should, we think, be a credit

to Miss Grant’s coaching and judg- //

ment:
The line-up was as follows:

Remnants Bryn Mawf

Crawford <.. .: De Ee ea es Faeth

In the second /team game also, co-
operation betw¢en the forwards was
sadly lacking./ Baker seemed unable
to loosen up, pver-shot the basket con-
sistently, avd had hard work get-
ting the ball to her team-mate. Ii
the second half, however, she had dis-
tinctly found the range of the net,
uch more successfully and

stood only one point behind Pierce in
total /points. The final score was
43-16.

The centers, outstripped in height
by/a good six inches, did remarkably
well, considering the odds against
them, but a little speedier offense
would have made their passing a lit-

/ tle easier and much more accurate.

The guards were slow but steady
and stuck like burrs to their long-
shooting opponents. Here again a
little more speed in getting away
would have been a great advantage.

The line-up was as follows:

Varsity Basketball Wins

Over Phila. Cricket Club



On Saturday morning the Varsity
basketball team defeated the Phila-
delphia Cricket Club team, 36-19.

Contrary to our expectations, the
play exhibited was far below the ex-
cellence shown in Varsity’s previous
two games. The forwards, although
shooting well, had lost practically
all trace of the unique teamwork for
which they are famous. Not until the
final quarter did they begin to show
any signs of the excellent work of
which they are certainly capable.

The centers’ passes were either too
high or so close to the sidelines gs
to make play almost impossible and
their defense was decidedly weak.
The guards seem to be the only con-
sistently good players thus far. Had
the Cricket Club forwards made all
the shots which they attempted, Bryn
Mawr would have énded the game-on
the short end of the score. As it was,
a final spurt in the last quarter: aid
a return to normal’ enabled both
coach and-—spectators to breathie /a
sigh of relief. 7

Perhaps the fact that two prac-
lices and-a game preceded Satytday’s
accounts for the slowness and disap-
pointing type of play. If that is the
explanation, perhaps week’s
game will once again prove the truth
of our prophecy as to/the outcome
and record for the season.

The line-up was as, follows:

people who did rot drink, that they
were in fact much more unhappy and
invariably came to A Bad End. This
turned out later on to be the same
Bad End to which came people who
smoked and drank coffee. He, how-
ever, had solved the problem of daily
living, and wished to pass on to us
his solution: every morning he sprang’
straight from his bed into a cold
shower, and consumed six plates of
oatmeal while showering; he then ran
five miles through snow and ice, and
returned, feeling very fit, to attend
his classes with healthy zest. We
found ourselves wishing that he had
traversed those six miles practicing
dancing,instead of running! _

At that point, the policy of stag
lines seemed to us perfectly obvious
and most delightful. Like our broth-
ers before us, at the first opportun-
ity, we abandoned all shame and join-
ed the happy bands pursuing our two
caustic good dancers. Again, like
our brothers before us, we were per-
fectly content with the few pleasur-
able words and steps which we spent
the rest of the evening fighting to
gain, and looked with conscious su-
periority. upon our unhappy sisters,
who had not caught on to the time-
honored and approved system of that
excellent American institution, the
Stag Line.

wrong—by~-them—both.-—Finaly,;—one
of the ladies committed suicide and
everything was again under control.
It would be difficult to describe ade-
quately the general excellence of the
play as a whole and the Linden fam-
ily can safely be reliea upon to pro-
vide an exciting evening of theatre.

We now come, as we knew we would

sooner or later, to Richard of Bor-
deaux, and Mr. King. In this his-

answer to the prayers of numerous
Peter*Arno dowagers plays the role
of the young king of England, who
was: (a.)In love with his wife,
Anne of Bohemia, thereby stamping
himself as. a little bit queer in the
eyes of his countrymen; (b.) A.paci-
fist, thereby establishing himself as
nothing short of a victim of melan-
cholia; ‘(¢.) Subject to violent fits
of temper just at the moment when
he should be calm, thereby causing
him to insult his ministers at pre-
cisely the Wrong moment; (d.) Con-
tinually in a jam, thereby laying him-
self open to the exposition of the mod-
ern. playwright. The play shows him
in his futile efforts to persuade the
ministers of state and. the English
people that war is a stupid game, and
in the end we have the pathetic spec-
tacle of the young king deserted by
all and dethroned by a_blustering
scion of the house of Lancaster? who
is a whiz with a battle axe, and con-
sequently more to the liking of the
English, who are, as usual, anxious to

clean up on the French. Perhaps we |"
have not made the play sound too in-

viting—if not we apologize and has-
ten to assure you that we know you
will like it, especially Mr.
King’s diction is reported to be ex-
cellent and crystal clear.

The. other plays of relative inter-
est that made their appearance on
Broadway were greeted with indif-
ferent salvos of one thing and an
other. Ernest Truex is as funny as
ever in a play that is more feeble
than usual—Sing and Whistle. It
is all about four people and their
marital relations and supposed to be
funny, but it isn’t—very. Mr. Truex
is again the scared little man con-
fronted by the hideous monster of
attraction for a_ biological opposite.
(we hesitate to use the word sex,
fearing that it might frighten the
gentleman into the.fear that he is a
victim of an unhealthy complex), and
he deals with the problem in his usual
light manner. In this case he and a
certain Miss Mathews being hap-
pily married to two people who are on
an expedition of questionable desti-
nation in Harlem, find themselves
alone and are so fascinated by the
circumstances that they both get
quite drunk and do it beautifully.
That seems .to be about all there is
to the play, and there you are.

Those of us who read the’ book,
Queer People, awaited with interest
the results of its being produced in
New York, and much to our amaze-
ment it seems to have annoyed the

ence, which is something of a tri-

umph in itself!’ The book and play

‘ing to all those individuals in any

way connected withtHollywood and
In the play we
see all the supposedly charming, or
at least brilliant, denizens of the sun-
lit mountains, carrying on the most
unattractive affairs imaginable. They
are all fat, slimy, crooked, drunk,
lecherous, stupid, bawdy, loose, and
profane, and as such their entertain-
ment value is questionable. Hal
Skelly plays the lead and he does
quite well considering that he is for-
ced to get drunk and stay that way
for more than two acts (an act which
is much more pleasant in. everyday
life than on the stage). The critics
hissed it with all their might and
main to a man and the ads for the
production now read: “They ¢an’t
take it.” “They-can’t stand to have
themselves shown up for what they
are!” and “Why did Queer -People
take the worst panning any show has
received this season because it

_makes fun of the theatre in a bril-

so, but our bet is that it is also a
bad_ play.

To the Editor of the News:

It seems unfortunate that the in-
telligent attack on the marking sys-
tem which appeared in last week’s
editorial should have been weakened
by such a misleading sentence as that
which states that “the majority of
the freshman class was relegated to
the lower registers of passing
marks” in the required courses.

Since English Composition is the
only course required of all freshmen,
it might be helpful to ‘know that of
the hundred and seventeen students
taking the course only twenty-one re-
ceived marks in the sixties and none
failed to pass the course.

Miss King Discusses 3
Gertrude Stein’s Art



Continued from Page One

Fleurus, sits’and stares at paintings,
and talks with Gertrude Stein.
In-turning to Gertrude Stein’s re-
lation to French painting, Miss King
said, “My own students, present and
past, know all I am going to say. They
understand painting and it does not
worry them. They are used to taking
a- picture for what it is,—and- so
why not take a page for what it is?
They are used to the’ all-over pat-
terns, without relief; without centrali-

- gation, in which there is no beginning

or end, and in which the top and bot-
tom, the left and the right, are inter-
changeable: They do not resent this,
nor think that the artist was a ‘thim-
ble-rigger.’ Consequently, they can
employ this same attitude when ex-
amining a pattern of words on a
printed page.” .« To illustrate her
point Miss King read a paragraph
from Henry James’ Wings of the
Dove, chosen at random, A _ fur-
ther illustration -may be found by
examining the development of dia-
logue in English novelists, from
Trollope and George Eliot to James
and then Hemingway. In the dia-
logue_of the former, the sentences
have beginnings, middles, and ends,
and the characters involved answer
each other in logical sequence. In the
dialogue of the moderns, however,
the sentences often begin with the

middle, and the characters answer, for









example, the thing before the last,

or the next to the last question due
to be asked. The exponents of. this
new form point out that so things
happen in life,—not necessarily in se-
quence. Gertude Stein thinks that
these repetitions and castings-back
are the manner in which one thinks,
but in which one does not talk, be-
cause people simply do not, For this
reason thoughts cannot be written
down until they have been’ worked
over into a logical order.

A mare’s nest was stirred up in the
last Atlantic Monthly over the ques-
tion of automatic writing, to which
type of writing none-of Miss Stein’s
work belongs, rfor to that of free as-
sociation.. “Automatic writing gives
what the person is not aware of feel-
ing, whereas this is what the writer
and reader are equally aware of.”
Writing of this sort, created under
the influence of hypnosis, is compar-
able to some of the work dohe by
the painters ‘Sur-realists in their
struggle for pure spontaneity. Miss
Stein’s work is not like this, for it is
deliberate in structure and direction.
In fact, it is just as conscious as
Pater’s style, though at the opposite
extreme from this: “Frankly, it seems
to me much more like ‘The Dark
Night-of the’ Soul,’ except. that_is
poetry, and this is. pure prose; that
is emotion, and this is a mirror-image
of something mental going on.” Miss

King read a selection from Lucy
Church Amiably in illustration of her
showed how what was

point, and

actually there to be read, was merely



It isn’t cowardice —

it’s jangled nerves



a sort of libretto, requiring an or-
chestration in the mind of the reader.

There is one question which Miss
King is often asked:. “Is Miss Stein’s
work a joke?”
it is absolutely in good faith; as with
Swift, one must recognize the irony.”
Another question; whether or not it
is easier to read and understand
when one is used to it, must also be
answered in the negative. One must
always work over any fine bit of lit-
erature in order- to get the most out
of it. One should start to under-
stand Gertrude Stein by parallels.
Living in Paris, in the midst of
painting, she could not help being
affected by the. successive influences
which affected painting. The first

parallel lies in her affinity to impres-

sionism, with its all-over, flat pat-
terns, its lack of relief and centrali-
zation, and. its passion for the mo-
mentary image. The work of Ce-
zanne affords a second parallel. His
canvases. reveal “a composition and
adjustment of tensions which are
three-dimensional,” and there are no

interstices. “Trying to make excerpts’

from Gertrude Stein, is like trying to
pick those plants which run a long
root underground with stems coming
up here and there. If you give a
tug, the whole comes.up,.roots--and
all.” .Miss King read three short
pieces, “Dinner,” “Celery” ‘and
“Pheasants,” from fender Buttons, to
show how mutilated such fragments

become when removed from their con-
tent.
The third parallel is to be found

The answer is “No,





in the work. of*the Cubists, who were
always her closest friends, especially
Picasso and Braque, and Matisse —
although he is not properly one of
them. The interpenetration of masses
in’ Cubism has~become™interpenetra=
tion of time in Gertrude Stein’s prose;
the object is used only as a point of
departure. The “Essay on Braque”
in Geography and Plays is a story
with the events left out, but the rela-
tions of the characters and their dia-
logue left in. It is like the work of
Braque in his later period. Miss
Stein’s use of concrete details ap-
pliquéd to the main structure resem-
bles the work' of the Dada-ists or of
that group of Cubists who actually
pasted bits of cork or newspaper clip-
pings on their canvases. By the Sur-
Realists, she was influenced toward
spontaneity, freshness and whimsical-
ity, and toward the use of drchestra-
tion. “Just as at operas and plays,
the text gives you only the libretto,
which is completed by what proceeds
on the stage, so here, the orchestra-
tion lies in the suggestions, over-
tones, and connotations.”

Gertrude Stein should be read a-
loud, for the greatest’ understanding
and pleasure can only be procured
if one lets oneself go and follows the
rhythm. ““One cannot take the word
as a unit, nor the phrase, nor the
sentence, There are no units. It isa
whole long rhythm.” , Words are more
replete than their definitions, from

which cannot be grasped the entire
meaning, with its implications and
associations. The interlace and repe-



titions beat out the pattern of the
music, as in* Ravel’s- Bolero. One
must recognize the particular feeling
of words—the kinaesthetic difference
between “up” and “down:” that sug-
gestiveness of — words~.which.causes
reverberations and Arouses associa-
tions. .

The use of repetitions and particip-
ial constructions of becoming, is part-
ly to get the long wave rhythm, which
is not the rhythm of the suspended
sentence and the involved and invert-
ed clauses. Yet after reading
enough, one does know what it is all
about. “It is that technique of dry
realism with the irony and the poig-
nancy; it is right American in the
tradition from Mark Twain through
Sherwood Anderson and Ring Lard-
ner. It is a sort of pioneer style, and
with pioneer thrift, Miss Stein wastes
nothing. She employs all the impli-
cations, the half-recognized, the long-

the nursery rocking-chair, the inter-
mittently-remembered experience of
thought and feeling, the divagations
of the questing reason, the infinitesi-
mal realities ‘that -are the stuff of
experience. She has no inlays of
handsome words. like ‘crystalline’ or
‘inimitably ;’ she keeps a level surface,
a “Muster ohne Ende,’ just alike at
both ends and in the middle; it is of
the oriental pattern, not’ of Gothic,
with its governing principle of su-
premacy and subordination.”

Miss King read at one time or an-
other, from nearly all of Gertrude

| Stein’s books.

Princeton Singers Do
Conventional Program

~~ Concert ~ Was - Punctuated. by.
Unsophisticated Farce of
Underclassmen

VIRILITY IS EMPHASIZED





(Especially Contributed by Helen
Ripley, ’35)

The Princeton Glee Club concert
Saturday night began with a rather
peculiar series of exits and entrances
by the various members of the chor-
us, but when the lights were finally
dimmed, the concert began in earnest
with a traditional greeting song. The
singers did not get really into the
spirit of the occasion until the second
group of songs, and they showed the
results of their training too much
throughout the:evening. The effect
of training was evident in their clear
enunciation and good tone, which
usually resulted in a_ well-balanced
whole; but one felt that the expres-
sion of every word and the phrasing
of every- bar had been arranged
weeks beforehand and drilled in so
thoroughly that all sense of spon.
taneity was gone.

The hard work which had, to all ap-
pearances, been expended on the
program, seemed to us wasted because
the music, almost without exception,
was not worthy of any college glee
club.. Some of the audience said they
had gone merely for a good time and
did not want to hear “real’’ music,
but we feel very strongly that if a
concert is being given at all, the pro-
gram should be up to the level of
those performing and of those listen-
ing. This concert was unworthy of
attention musically. Such pieces as
“Goin’ Home” are pleasant (although
much more so in their original set-
ting), but we have heard them for
many years sung by school choruses
and local organizations. Princeton
should be able to sing something bet-
ter than what might be sung by the
Sunday School class at a church
social!

We might add that Princeton was
defended by several people who
said that they knew the concert would
contain this kind of music, and so
were prepared to enjoy it. It seems
to us that a new standard should be
set so that through Glee Club con-
certs we might hear satisfying music
—just as amusing perhaps, but with
some musical content. We would
make the same criticism of the solo-
ists, who certainly had sufficiently
good technique to try something. more
worthwhile than their actual offer-
TT

The Gilbert and Sullivan was the
best part. of the’ program from a
musical point of view, though the
“Chorus of the Peers” had none of
the spark which belongs to it and
the proper effect of the middle section
of the song was lost because the
basses could not be heard. “Invictus”
is another song in which we have
been drilled from childhood, and it
seems rather eee te to
give us such familiar doctrine; how-
ever, the execution of it was good
and the proper climaxes were nicely
emphasized. The number from The
Gondoliers was well placed at the end
of the first half of the program, be-
cause it helped to cheer along both us
and the performers, if we may judge
from their expressions.

The second half of the program
was supposed, we gathered, to show
us that. the Glee Club members were
really just normal men, for they
‘seemed very proud of the humor pre-
ceding the accordion duet. We, for-
tunately, were feeling rather hilari-
ous, too, but even our hilarity did
not prevent us from wishing that the
concert might not descend to a farce.
We are agreed that the accordion and:
banjo duets were good, but feel that
their place was in the gymnasium

. and not in Goodhart. The Sea Chan-
ties were amusing and very well
done, with evident enjoyment on the
part of the performers—but they are
not worthy of the efforts of a col-
lege Glee Club.

The last group on the program
may explain the whole concert, as a
collection of songs which a gathering
of essentially virile college men might
sit down and sing on the spur of the
moment. Certainly most of the pro-
gram was not worthy of serious study
‘for the concert -stage. Perhaps

‘> is '
| Princeton was afraid that we would
not like more serious music, or per-

haps they were incapable of giving it
to us. They showed, at least, that
they can sing intelligently and with

is good. We also commend the fact
that they entrusted themselves to an
undergraduate conductor, who was
very competent. The Glee Club had
every opportunity of giving us a
pleasant musical evening, and they

| succeeded to some extent in doing so;

but we hope that next time their
ability will be used in a more defi-
nitely musica] program.



Shane Leslie Speaks
on Authentic Swift



Continued from Page One

existence of another house belonging
to the Shirley family, and was given
a day in which to search it before
the new owners should move into it.
This search proved equallye fruitless,
until Mr. Leslie thought of the house-
keeper’s room—a sanctum to which so
many precious things naturally grav-
itate. And there it was—folio after
folio in the handwriting of the Temple
‘Memoirs. Ten or twenty were as-
suredly Swift’s, and one—very like
Swift’s—was guessed to be the miss-
ing part of the correspondence with
Stella. Now, the only signature of
Stella—that to her will—had been
burnt, and so Leslie searched the
Temple family library. He found a
|letter. with Stella’s signature, and on
'the other side of the paper another
letter, written by Rebecca Dingley,
| Stella’s chaperone and companion.
Stella’s handwriting was obviously
not like that of the receipts in the
British Museum, whereas the hand-
writing of Rebecca Dingley was that
of the script on the. journal,

The history of Swift’s correspond-
ence with Vanessa is equally strange.
On her death she left her letters and
the poem, “Vanessa,” to Bishop Berk-



eley, and when the people of Dublin
heard the rumor that he had destroy-
ed them, they felt deprived of a great
literary monument. Berkeley, how-
ever, must have:changed his attitude
after reading the letters, for he passed
them on, and they were published
with a fair amount of accuracy in
their entirety. They disappeared
again; in 1716 Robert Peel saw them
for a moment, and then they were
lost until they-went into the Morrison
collection of autographs, in which
Mr. Leslie saw them. They have
been stolen more than once, and the
arms stamped on them have obviously
been cut out. The only clue to their
identity was a loose envelope ad-
dressed to “Miss. Leslie, my own
home,.my own family,” which refer-
red to the poem “‘to my own home” in
the Kensington Museum.

Now that the character of Swift’s
well-known, and scarcely disguised,
handwriting has been established, the
editor possesses a canon of criticism
of Swift’s work; and light can be
thrown upon many Swiftian contro-
versies in the edition upon which Har-
old Williams is at present working.

One of these controversies centres
around Swift’s supposed neglect of
Stella. Why did he not marry her?
Mr. Leslie says that he simply put
his career before women: he had to
make a choice, and he had an inher-
ent dislike of the poverty and sor-
didness of the clerical life which
marriage would have forced upon him;
but there is no doubt that he loved
Stella. Mr. ‘Leslie points out the
autobiographical elements in Gulli-
ver’s Travels. The entire piece, read
so often as mere political satire or
asa children’s book, is full of deli-
cate aHusions, exquisite memoirs of
his soul. Stella must have had the
apologia read to her as she was dying
and have realized that Swift’s tender
description of the school mistress
was a tribute to her alone, couched as
had been the sentiments in the letters
they exchanged, in a curious, looking-
glass language and furthér concealed
by a naive inversion of ideas.

Her death, and that of Vanessa
before Swift’s own death, increased
the acerbity of the champion /£ Irish
freedom. Bitterest of all and most
superb of all of Swift’s poetry are
his lines on his own death:

“The Dean is dead—-
Pray what is trumps?—”

appeared, since the Londoners by
large-scale production could undercut
the prices of the Oxford Press, and
make their fortunes at the same time.
The matter was remedied by. the Ox-
ford Press in 1673, when its mana-
gers induced Guy and Parker of the
rival company to combine with them-
selves. Guy had already gained enor-
mous wealth, some part of which he
applied to the founding of a Hos-
pital in London.

Seventeenth-century printing pro-
duced books of rare beauty. One of
the most frequently printed and pop-
ular books at that, time, next to the
Bible or even ranking along with it,
was Clarendon’s History of the Rebel-
lion. This work sold in such numbers
that the proceeds enabled the Oxford
Press to set up new quarters in the
Clarendon Building in 1713. Up to
that date, the Press had been for a
half century established in the Shel-
donian Theatre. It remained in the
Clarendon Building until 1832, when
it moved to its present situation.

In the Clarendon Building, the
presses were divided into the Bible
Press and the Learned Press. The
profit from the Bibles balanced the
loss from the learned books. .The
Press still makes its money mainly
on Bibles, in which it has achieved
a unique degree of perfection. Its
proud boast is a standing offer of one
guinea to ‘any person who can find an
error in-one of its Bibles.

The Oxford Press has its own foun-
dries, binderies, and paper-mills. Fig-
ures from fifteen years back give
some idea of the scope of its produc-
tion, when in one year 100,000 skins
of animals were used for binding, and
400,000 sheets of gold leaf for letter-
ing alone. The supremacy of the
Press depends largely on the secret
method it possesses for manufactur-
ing a paper, very strong, very thin,
very absorbent, of a uniform color,
and opaque texture. It is very hard
to find a combination of these quali-
ties in any one paper, and the secret

time the Emperor lost his most beau-
tiful and graceful dancer in the
court and could not be consoled; he
demanded his magicians to bring her
back alive*with the penalty of death
if it was not carried out. This was
the origin of the puppets:..The artists
and players were so clever that the
Emperor was pleased and the shadow
puppets were installed as one of the
chief amusements of the court and of
the official households.

The puppets and scenery are ex-
quisitely carved out of donkey skin,
painted with bright colors and lac-
quered. They result in almost trans-
parent colorful figures which con-
form to the types of characters seen
on the Chinese stage;—scholars, war-

white screen, usually of Chinese pa-
per, occasionally of fine white silk,
with a projecting Jight some five feet
away from the screen. Oil lamps
had always been used (before the in-
troduction of electricity) which gave
a delicate, soft illumination, showing
up the colors beautifully through the
semi-transparent figures. The pup-
pets are not manipulated by strings
from above, but by stiff wires from
below. The acting is accompanied ‘by
music, noises, conversation, and occa-
sional explanations.

of one view (only two dimensions are
represented, usually side view). But
in spite of these handicaps there are
clever puppeteers who can present
the characters with extyeme dexterity
and realism. The fight between the
dragon and the elephant is an ex-

burning house. However, there aré
elements which have to be taken for
granted, or otherwise they seem in-
congruous and ridiculous. There are
movements and gestures, the signifi-
