Folk Songs Grow From
Communal Authorship



Dr. - Vaughan Williams Says
Oral Changes Improve
Folk Music.



SINGERS WERE ARTISTS



Dr. Ralph Vatglhan Williams gave
his third Flexner lecture in Goodhart
Hall, Thursday evening, November 11,
Describing folk music as an “individ-
ual flowering on a common stem,”
he discussed the communal author-
ship of folk song and its appeal for
modern listeners.

Before taking up any new topics,
Dr. Williams clarified his remarks of
the previous week on the origin of
music, and explained that he was

“riés on this difficult subject. Although

refusing to trace the origin of music
to excited speech, he described the.
raw material of song as the independ-
ent tones of the speaking voice merg-
ing into definite sounds.

The most important of the limita-
tions naturally inherent in folk mu-
sic, he then declared, is the fact that
orignally it was never committed to’
writing, but handed down orally from.
generation to generation. Alterations
of written works are apt. to cause
careless mistakes, but oral changes are
likely to be improvements. Hence folk
songs went through a process of evo-
lution from generation to generation.
And so we have the theory of com-
munal authorship.

The evolution of folk songs is a pro-
cess not of disintegration and cor-
ruption, but of growth and develop-
ment. Art music is the work of an
individual, composed in a compara-
tively short period, committed to pa-
per, and so fixed, Folk songs, on the
other hand, are products of the race,
and reflect feelings and tastes which
are communal rather than personal.

The idea of communal authorship
is not a new one. The philologist
Grimm _ remarked that: “Folk song
composes itself.” Cecil Sharpe, how-
ever, was the first to take a fully
thought-out stand upon the subject.
According to him, one man might in-
vent a song by piecing together odd
phrases, but the constant changes
madé in the process of passing it on
from one singer to another would
transfer the authorship to the com-
munity. Every ballad singer was an
artist, free to change what he dis-
liked. Although some had alterations
made, by natural selection, only those
changes would survive oral repetition,
which made the tune more yital.
This gradual oral improvement of folk
song is similar to the evolution of a
theme in the mind of a great com-
poser. In Beethoven’s notebooks it is
possible to. trace his themes from their
inchoate beginnings to their final
masterly form. But even the most
individualisti¢ of composers must
learn from his predecessors, and prof-
it by their experience. Hence, in a
sense, even art music shows communal
authorship.

Folk songs today have more than
a mere antiquarian interest for music
lovers. Having been recorded by col-
lectors, they are no longer in a state
of flux, and the exclusive property of
the peasantry, but have become an in-
tegral part of comp¥sed music. They
are not dead, but in a new-_stage of
development. Twenty years ago, the
great folk song revival initiated in
England by Cecil Sharpe gave to the
public a wealth of new melody which
aroused an immediate enthusiasm.
For the many average people who are
dissatisfied with banalities and yet do
not care for classical music, the popu-
larity of folk song ‘affords an oppor-
tunity to bring music into the home
again, as in Elizabethan times.

Although’ it is natural for ‘men to
‘express themselves by music, English
speaking. peoples, not realizing that
culture must grow out of the soil in
which it is planted, are inclined to
stifle their own artistic impulses.
America, for instance, has all the
means for developing an interesting

Clever Junior Skit Given
at Banner Night Ceremony



“Mr. King Comes to the Faculty,”
the Junior skit on Banner Night,
November 3, was presented before an
unprecedentedly large and enthusias-
tic audience. The inspiration of the
drama was Mr. Samuel Arthur King’s
diction class for the faculty, echoes
of which may still be heard around
the campus. - Cheers thundered as
each member of the cast entered, Mr.
King last of all but Miss G. G. King
and Dr. Fenwick. When the roll was
called, it was discovered that several
of the class were absent, Miss. Park
being prominent among those who
“were taking a cut.”.

During the Shakespeare readings
which followed, rendered in an accent-
ually accurate manner by each mem-
xa of the east, there were sevéfal
unealled-for remarks from the class
at-large; one, a severe stricture pass-
ed by Miss King on “the lust of the
(lesh and the pride of, the eye;” an-
other,-a colleague-quelling blast, from
Dr, Weiss that “All men are mortal.
Socrates is a man. Therefore Socra-
\cs is mortal.” There was further
sorrow in store for Mr. King when
Dr. Fenwick insisted on reciting the
(,ettysburg Address instead of the re-
quired reading in Shakespeare.

The most hilarious moment of the
evening came when Mr. King demon-
strated the witches’ speech from Mac-
beth to Dr. Weiss, illustrating the
“like a rat without a tail’ line by
a graceful buck-and-wing step. The
class came all too soon to an end
when Mrs. Manning coughed and Mr.
King announced that he would have
lo leave if. the coughing continued.
Immediately the class broke up to the
sound of hacking coughs.

After the encore, in response to
frenzied clapping, the Gym was clear-
ed’ of the “Odds,” to allow the pres-
entation of a banner to the Freshman
Class by their sisters, the Juniors.
There were the usual songs expres-
sive of good will, the handling of the
banner, and then a new song from
the “Freshmen, “Under Bryn. Mawr
Arches.” We wish to. compliment the
Class of ’36, both on its singing and
its new song, which was less strong-
ly-reminiscent- of something we had
heard before than any of the other
class songs. The unusual singing
strength manifested by both Juniors
and Freshmen was doubtless due to
the initiative of the skit manager,
Nancy Stevenson, in shifting ._Bal-
ner Night from a week-end to a
week-night; we would advocate that
the change be made permanent that
the success of this year may be re-
peated.

Varsity Defeated 6-2
by Phila. Cricket Club

Yellows Held Scoreless During
1st Quarter, But Rapidly
Made 4 Goals





GAME: WAS FAST



Although.. Bryn Mawr went dewn
to defeat before the Philadelphia
Cricket Club Yellows by the score,
6-2, Varsity played the best game of
the 1982 season. Throughout the
game there was marked improvement,
not only in the passwork, but also in
smoothness and° unity. . Interest. in
the individual playing, which has been
characteristic of the Varsity for so
long, was lost in-appreciation of the
team’s work as a whole.

The forwards played unusuaily
well, getting two goals—a true feat
when Elliott is defending the cage.
The backfield far-surpassed— its -us-
ual form and managed to-hold Kitty
Wiener, the Yellows’ star center for-
ward, to two goals. On the whole,
Bryn Mawr offered a creditable de-
fense to a far superior team, many of
whose members were either on the
All-Philadelphia team or the All-
American. :

Varsity started the game off well
by holding the Yellows scoreless dur-
ing the first quarter. Encouraged by ‘
the success of the backfield, the for-
wards rushed the circle, and Reming-

|jton, much to Elliott’s chagrin, man-

aged to get the ball into the cage.
The Yellows, however, soon settled
down to business and made four goals
in rapid succession.

In the second half, the playing be-
came more general, and, although the
forward line seemed to lose a bit of
its co-operation, the backs and goal
put up such a defense that only twice
did the ball get past them. Reming-
ton made a beautiful goal after a
long run up the field and hard pass
by Stevenson. A last minute goal by
C. Kendig brought the score up. to
§-2,-and the fastest and most excit-
‘ing game of the, year had .ended.

Stevenson at right wing played the
speediest and steadiest game of the
day. She-far oxytstripped her half,
and her passes were quick and accur-
ate. Remington’s hard shooting re-
sulted in Varsity’s only goals and she
more than compensated for her in-
effectiveness in last week’s game.

Longacre still uses her weak chop
strokes in attempting goals, and rare-
ly makes an effort to follow up her
mistakes, but her main difficulty in
Saturday’§ game was in hitting the
ball. Collier’s offensive, as well.as her
defensive, game deserves.much praise.
Her stickwork is rapidly improving
and her passes are hard and accurate.

Kent, Van Vechten ‘and Bowditch
were a formidable trio on the defense,
while Jackson, especially in the sec-
ond half, played better than ever be-
fore. Several of the goals made by
the Philadelphia team were the re-
sults of interference with Jackson by
members of the Varsity forward line.

work, brilliant offense and stolid de-

More About Marks =

Since last week when we launched our campaign onthe front of
marks, ‘we have listened to many views and heard propounded many
plans.
graduates who expressed any objections to our suggestion that marks
be given out by the professor in conference instead of posted before
the public. There is. little that can be said for the existing system
except that it provides amusement for those of us who have not yet
discovered how odious are comparisons. The present custom subjects
the less fortunate student to disheartening comment, places too much
significance on marks, and should be abolished. We hope that the
faculty will consider the matter, and that they will be able to evolve
some plan whereby the present mark ballyhoo may be relegated to the
past.

On the question of numerical marking, however, opinion was
divided. It was pointed out that. the merit and credit system was
only approximate, and that in choosing the first ten among the Seniors,
and in picking the European fellow, it is only fair to consider the
exact average made by each student. Again, it seemed unfair to give
a girl who got a 79 in. a course a iiérit, while a credit went to the
possessor of an 80. If plus or minus was added to the letter, we imme-
diately reverted to drawing a fine distinction, and the purpose of the
system was destroyed. The numerical system was always employed
by a professor in his original reading of any paper and was then ttans-
lated into letters. Then when the time came for the final grade to be
given, the marks were changed back to numbers in order to facilitate
averaging. In this process the student sometimes gained, but more
often lost. For example, if a girl got an 89, it went in the records as
a C, and when it was brought out again, it went down as.an 85. This,
of course, was much too slip-shod and inaccurate a method by which
to compute marks. If the merit system should be reinstated, we should
suggest that the professors keep a numerical reeord of the marks for
purposes, of computation, and post the grades under the merit system.
If, however, marks should become a private matter, it would make no
appreciable difference what scale was used, for our chief criticism of the
present numerical marking is that it lends itself to comparisons, | If
comparisons were to be made impossible by a different approach, the
end for which we are striving would be attained.

There has been a great deal of discussion about the purpose of
marks and whether or not they fulfill. thay purpose. One view is that
intellectual progress should be tabulated on an, absolute*and not on a
relative basis: that a girl should be marked according to the ratio of

the spirit in which we should do our work. :

In any prolonged diseussion of education we revert to the one
great truth: that the value of an education can only be estimated in
terms of.self-development, and that marks cannot be considered in this
final reckoning. While such a system as we have outlined above would
never succeed as a college institution, it ean sueceed with the individual.
We must regard ourselves and the progress we make,
mirrors, and not in those of our classmates. - When we leave college,
‘the world at large will be interested only in what we are, and not
what we were in comparison with other undergraduates. Ample proof
of this statement .is to be found in the number of Phi Beta Kappas‘who
have failed to succeed beyond the classroom and in the number of S0-

News of the New York Theatres

When Walter Hampden revived
Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac in 1923
he broke a period of twenty-three
years of slumber. The facts behind
the situation are amazing. In 1900,
when Richard Mansfield was making
his big success in the role, a Chicago
realtor and lawyer of playwriting as-
pirations accused Rostand of plagi-
apism. The lawyer had written
something called the Merchant Prince
of Cornville, and he claimed: Rostand
had taken the idea from the not very
prominent product of his genips. A
suit was filed against Mansfield, de-
manding an accounting of profits, and
the actor raised a terrific din, but
itostand went on undisturbed by ‘it
ll. The case came to trial, and, al-
though the only point the two plays
had in common was the long nose of
the protagonist, nevertheless,“ the
Court decided that Cyrano was a plagi-
arism and ordered Mansfield to piy
the lawyer royalties. This Mansficld
refused to do and he immediately
dropped the play from his repertoire
and no one dug it up till-“Walter
Hampden came along. The absurd
stigma which clung to Rostand was
clearcd up by the Federal. Court in
1915, when it set aside a similar .in-
juctionw brought by the lawyer to stop
‘Walter Damrosch’s opera on the same
theme. Can anyone imagine a Chi-
cago lawyer turning out Cyrano!

Theresa Helburn, one of Bryn
Mawr’s most successful representa-
lives in the theatre, is staging Chry-
salis for Martin Beck. The play
opens on. Monday and is in ‘a rather
astonishing form: - one act and ten
scenes. The cast includes Osgood Per-
kins, June Walker, Humphrey. Bogart,
and Margaret Sullivan.

The day when the heavens are to
open and the dead are to rise is prac-
tically upon us, for on November..21
Gilbert Miller will present Judith An-
derson and Henry Stephenson, and
the ancient seducer of men, Nita
Naldi, in Firebrand. Miss Naldi will

President Park Tells
Freshman Statistics



Large Proportien of 1936 En-
ters College With Credit
Average



AGE IS

In Chapel, October 20 and 25, Miss
Park discussed the statistics of this
year’s Freshman Class. The first top-
ic taken up was that of. geographical
distribution. Last year Miss Park
made a report to the Trustees giving
general statistics about the entering
classes of the -last ten years, i. e,
summing up the figures for 1181 stu-
dents who have entered college from
September, 1922, to September, 1932.
These figures can’ consequently be
used for comparison with those of any
single year.

If the geographical distribution of
this year’s entering class is compared
with the 1181 who entered since 1922,
the results are as follows:

18



The number from Pennsylvania, 29
per cent., the highest in the 11 years;
New York, 23 per cent., about. aver-
age;-New-Jersey,;-Maryland-and~Dis-
trict of Columbia, 10 per cent., about
average; New England, 13% per
cent., compared with an average of
12 per cent.; Middle West, 13 per
cent, higher than last two years but
lower than previous years; Far West,
1 per cent (from Colorado), usually
4 per cent.; South, 4 per cent., about
average: _ —

These figures show that local reg-
istration has increased, as it might
well: have -been expected to, and that
the most distant has fallen. It is an
interesting fact that 53 per cent. of
this class come from that strip of land
which is bounded on the north by
New York, on the south by Washing-
ton, and on the west by Paoli.

Always of interest are the figures
concerned with the racial stock from
which the students at Bryn Mawr
have sprung. As usual, this year’s
freshmen are descended from strong-
ly “native” ancestors, in that im_ 60
pet cent. of the cases both parents
and all four grandparents were born
in America. In the case of 15 per
cent, more, only one grandparent was
born in Europe. On the father’s side,
64 per cent. of the class come from
various countries of the British Isles
and 9 per cent. from Germany. On
the mother’s side 52 per cent. come
from the British Isles and 12 per cent.
from Germany.

Kighteen of the new students are
daughters of Bryn Mawr alumnae or
former students. The following sta-
tistics show how many of the fath-
ers and mothers have college degrees
or college training of some sort:
~ Both parents with college degrees
or college training, 26 per cent.

Both parents without college train-
ing, 31 per cent.

Father a college graduate, mother
no college training, 38 per cent.

The college has always been eager
to increase the enrollment of those pu-
pils who have completed their pre-
paratory work entirely -in- public
schools. A slightly larger proportion
of this year’s class have come from
public high schools. In the last ten
years, 87 per cent. of the 1181 stu-
dents who have entered Bryn Men?!
were prepared in private schools al-
together, or in public and _ private
schools, with 13 per cent. prepared
entirely by public schools. This year
83 per cent. of the entering class came
from private, or private and public.
The remaining 17 per cent. came from
public schools. The 111 in the Class
of 1986 were prepared in as many as
79 different schools. Those which
sent more than one student are:

Shipley School, Bryn Mawr, 11;
The Misses. Kirk’s School, Bryn

Mawr, 9; Brearley School, New York,

6; Rosemary Hall, Greenwich, Conn.,

The Admissions Committee in ad-

consideration five factors—the aver-
age in the entrance examinations, the
school record from the three years
preceding college, the Scholastic Ap-
titude- Test, the statement made by
the head of the school, and—where it
is available—an interview with some-
one connected with the college.

Informal Song Meeting

The Music Department invites
all the members of the college
who are interested in singing to
attend an informal song meet-
ing in the Music Room next
Monday, November 14, at 8.30.
Reminiscent of the meetings

“fice held in Wyndham, that of
Monday night will not be for
community singing in the ordi- :
nary sense}; fine music will’ be
sung. Moreover, Dr. Williams
will give a short talk on the
songs; and Dr. Hans Schumann,
who/ lectured here last year on
Oriental Music, will play his
German harpsichord.

As it is desired that the sing-
ing be as informal as possible,
the students are asked to bring
cushions so that they may sit
on the floor.

demands of some of us intellectuals,
neither scholarship nor philosophy is
necessary for political’ success; the
selection of Hoover for a job not rele-
vant to his engineering abilities was
a mistake.

“No President really makes politi-
eal issues; he can do nothing without
the.support of the people and he must
know by a sort of sixth sense what
they really want.” In Dean Man-
ning’s opinion the only kind of politi-
cal courage we can ask must be based
on public support, and until the public
is interested it will not get a real po-
litical leader.

sition, but by a-complete lack of in-
terest. It is now assumed that sci- ,
ence can answer all questions.

, The missionaries are undoubtedly
dealing - with a_ difficult situation.
Moreover the fact that there are one
hundred rent. Missionary Socie-
ties, each upholding a different brand
of Christianity, does not allevigte the
distress.. In addition, at the largest
theological seminary, a man of eigh-
ty-three, of extreme conservatism, is
teaching that the Bible is literal his-
tory and that logic is,a curse. The
committee feel, consequently, that a
united Christian movement is neces-
sary in China. Men will have. to be

‘} sent out, not so much to preach reli-

gion in the schools and churches, but
to set a good example by leading clean |
lives. They must be men of contag-
ious personality, for the method of
personal intercourse is now making
50 per cent. of the converts. The fu-
ture of the Church in China rests on
some such plan as this, for conditions
have been so altered that the old ways
are no longer of any- value.

Political Speakers
Present Platforms



4Continued from Page One)

Mr. Fowler Harper summed the
Democratic point of view by the term
_“liberalism:” a facility. of adapting
old ideas to new problems and new
types of problems. He argued the dis-
advantages of the Republican party’s
paternalistic attitude, its trend for
standardization regarding social and
cultural institutions, and its “laissez-
faire” attitude toward capitalistic en-
terprise. Mr. Harper advised a re-
verse in these policies and questioned
President Hoover’s intellectual hon-
esty in handling the question of pro-
hibition and in the character of the
Republican campaign of. fear.

Dr. Holmes, supporting the Social-
ist platform, put aside personal is-
sues to show the fundamental simi-
larity of the Republicans and Demo-
crats. The profit system based on

ygcompetitive industry, he declared, has

divided our population into the two
conflicting classés of capital and la-
bor. The situation, aggravated by the
more universal use of machinery, has
grown worse instead of better; since
this system has proved inefficient, some
radical change must be made sooner
or later. He proved the inefficacy of
the Farm Relief Organization: this
system has made one-half of the far-
mers today tenant farmers. Dr.
Holmes. outlined the advantages of
government control of the essential in-
dustries by showing the waste caused
in privately controlled industry and
contrasting with this the efficiency of
our present government control of
schools, public roads, and parcel post.
He concluded: “We are after a free
people; getting rid of domination,
willing to adventure in order to have

* a nobler and better human society.”

the statistics on the first .of ‘these

been: in 1922, 6 per cent.; 1923, 8 per
