Miss Park Recommends « a
Book With an Idea



““T want to’ speak this morning about a|

book which I have’ been reading,” began
Miss Park ip Chapel on Thursday,
is Virginia Woolf's A Room of One’s

-Owm and I think that you all should read

it on account of ‘its wit, literary qualities,
its hits at women’s colleges, and its-gen-

eral value. Mrs. Woolf wrote this book
from _two papers’ which she fead to the’
“Arts ‘Society at Newnham and*the Od-
taa at Girton in October, 1928” when she
was asked to speak on Women and Fic-
tion. Her main theme is that women
cannot write except on £500 a year and
with a room of their own. She says that
this general line was suggested to. her. by
two visits she made, ‘one. to a—man’s
college and the other to a woman’s col-
lege. At the former she lunched on part-
ridges and drank wines “which flushed
yellow and flushed crimson” ; at Fernham
she dined: on soup, beef, greens, prunes
and custard, and drank water. This led
her to wonder why: one sex seemed to
always have safety and prosperty and
the other insecurity and poverty; further-
more she wondered if this had a signifi-
cant relation-to~Women and Fiction.

_ © “Going deeper” into “her subject’ Vir-
“ginia “Woolf discovered that practically

all the books on women have been writ-
ten by men. .‘Sex and_its-nature_might
well attract doctors and biologists; but
what -was surprising and: difficult of ex-
planation was that sex—woman, that is
‘to say—also attracts agreeable essayists,
light fingered novelists, young men who
have. taken no degree; men who have no
apparent qualification save that they ‘are
‘not women.” ’These -books by men were
written in great emotion: ‘the red light
of emotion and not the white light of
truth.’

“She goes on to discuss the great argu-
in various books that
women are not creative. She tries to
analyze to discover why this is, especially
in the case of women writers: of fiction.
The pictures of women in fiction do not
give us quite an adequate picture of them;

and the writing of women in the past has

been greatly affected by the feeling in
society which was against women writers.
So the women who did write wrote in a
kind of angry. passion tempered by fear.

“In the fifth chapter she speaks in an
abstract way of a new novel in which a
“woman writes as a woman and, presents
her sex not in relation to men but in
relation to all the other interests in the
world, just as men are presented. ‘Give
her a room of her own and £500 a
year—and she will write a better book
one of these days,’ promises Virginia
Woolf. ‘She will be a poet in snetngy
hundreds years’ time.’

“The next chapter contains the idea .

that there are-really two sexes in every
one’s mind, even as there are two sexes
in the world. ‘In the man’s brain the man
predominates over the woman, and in
the woman’s . brain the woman _pre-
dominates over the man....’ In
Shakespeare we can find such an andro-
Mrs.

have independence and freedom they will
lose the emphasis on their sex and that
_there will be more and more of the
androgynous mind.

“What- she says marks this Soule of
Virginia Woolf in my mind as the first
book which has been written on the sub-
ject without the fear and bitterness of.a
woman,” Miss Park said. “The author is
humorous, tranquil, witty and one who
makes-a~most excellent use of quotations’
with sly digs in her footnotes. She has

given, on the whole, the best answer I

have ever heard to that current comment
that ‘women are not creative.’ She shows
the weakness of womniah’s writing and
parallels it with masculine writing. She
is very modern in connecting morals and
things intellectual with economic stdtus.
In the old days poverty was connected
‘with good morals, and riches with poor
ones. Now we appreciate the fallacy in

_____ such conception. This makes_a. _ Stimulus,

to urge your generation to change. the
character of the economic world. At the
end of her book Mrs. Woolf quotes*from,

Miss King Tells of
+“ New Collection



A Modern Exhibit Only in the
Pickwickian-
Sense.



ART SHOWS VERACITY



Professor Georgiana Goddard Ki ing
spoke in “Tuesday Chapel on the First
Loan Exhibition of the Museum _ of
Modern Art in New York City. Miss
King began her talk by saying that
the exhibition is modern only in. the
Pickwickian sense; the youngest of
the artists died before most of us were
born,
side the folder points out that whereas
most of the foreign galleries in the
North have collections of the work

he men here represented, we have

exhibition in this country. The exhi-
bition at the Museum of Modern Art
is composed of accessible work by the
greatest men of the second half of the
nineteenth century, and it is made. up
from private collections — personal
owners have lent their treasures, which
aré some of them famous and all very
beautiful. The exhibition is a- mar-
velous benefaction, and is worth the
exertion. of.a_trip_to New. York; itis
open for nothing at all from Ngyember

ten in the morning to six at night, and
on Sunday from one to five in thé
afternoon: thus every one can go and
see it. The names of the people be-
hind the. Museum are in the folder;
the patrons are such persons as Dr.
‘Paul Sachs and Miss Bliss, whose
library was painted by Arthur Davies,
and ‘who has lent many things.

The Museum_of Modern Art is on
Fifth Avenue among the picture deal-
ers’ lairs; it is situated on the twelfth
floor of the Heckscher Building, 730
Fifth Avenue. The whole back of
the floor is given over to Modern Art;
the subdivision into. little rooms and
the hangirigs are done with great dis-
cretion, and there are no incongruities.
The men whose work is on view were
chosen especially because of their in-
fluence on the artists that came after
them; one main interest in thé paint-
ings is to note what debts we can
trace. These Modern Artists of the
last century are Cezanne, Gaugin,
Seurat and Van Gogh.

Cezanne was born first, 1839, and
died at sixty-seven after a long life of
laborious painting. Van Gogh was
born in 1853 and died at Byron’s age.
‘Gaugin lived’ from 1849 to 1903; there

‘American Humor’

American humor is being reviewed in a
survey conducted by the University of
Denver journalism class. Although the
primary aim of the survey is to trace the
course of humor in American literature,
every humorous magazine in the English
Janguage-will-be studied.
~ Students will. select the best anecdotes,
skits, epigrams and jokes contained in the
funny-bone publications in -an effort .to
‘determine just what makes a funny story
funny.

Several members of the -class are now
sifting and sorting the contents -of the
January issues of “Life” and “Punch”.
“Harper's: Weekly,” from 1870 on, will
contribute representative material. of the
last generation. si

Periodic reports are being init’ in dans
sessions, but the entire report will rtot be
complete before late next spring.

able as the assimilation of facts——Denver

The Independence Hall Group

If you are one of the persons who
suffer from boredom or bewilderment.

z >
on exposure to myseums, you will find

it wise to take the Independence Hall
group at Sixth;and Chestnut by de-
grees. You will find a little stroll in
the park a great’ aid in forgetting
Gimbel’s Christmas , display ‘and the
Maxfield Parish across the street, and
you may find the historical mood
creepifig on.

Just ‘look about you and count the
sorry plots of grass and the shabby
trees. Sixteen sections? Fifty-six
trees? Thirteen of: those grass “bits
represent the thirteen original States,
and the other three stand for Vermont,
Kentucky, and Tennessee, who entered

five, sacred to the Signers of the Dec-
laration. A,

Now you can enter Independence
Hall and see the Liberty Bell sus-
pended opposite you with. its gallant
crack (which occurred at a. funeral in
1835), and its inspiring inscription.
The paneling from floor to ceiling and
the crystal chandeliers are dazzling in
their-whiteness, yet the simple dignity
of line and decoration will surprise and
charm you. The East Room, where
the Continental. Congress.._met,.and
Washington took the coutunce of the
Army, is lined with the old chairs, and
on the speakers’ dais is a stately Chip-
pendalee. Before it on the tablesis the
inkstand of the Congress. You may
wander. at will among the busts and
flags of the State Congress room, and
you will want to see the portrait of
Washington upstairs, a profile view,
realistic even to the pock marks. But
on. thé whole yoy will find the East
Room the finest. -

In the’ four adjacent buildings the
museum proper is housed. The ex-
hibits are all of the Revolutionary
period and not a detail has escaped,
from spinning wheels to china. The
West Wing is your proper starting
point, for the fashions of the time are
beautifully displayed there. At the
door stands a_ successful merchant
with corded knee breeches, a blue silk
coat, intricately flowered vest, and a
handsome. Jace frill_of George Wash-
ington’s. “Beside him is a lady in a
charming wedding dress, its waistline
directly below her aris, the costume
fussy. with -tiny~-pleats--and-~-smocking.
A. sixteen-year-old lad completes this
fashionable group in silk and satin.
Across the room in quiet. dignity
stands -a little brown Quaker lady, her
kerchief severely drawn across her
shoulders, and her stiff bonnet fram-
ing her face. You will enjoy the Revo-
lutionary fashion doll, perfect to the
last detail of stomacher and flowing

cuff,

Upstairs is a collection of old ‘china,
and the glass bottles deserve special
attention. The pictures and: maps
along the walls will. charm you even
more, however. Opposite the door is

stage coaches coupled together and

high silk hats. At the front and back
of each car sit two-—of the soberest,

beautiful allegorical rendering of the
Boston Tea Party is the choicest bit.
In the ‘centre is a tiny teapot with its
lid lifted off in a burst of steam, and
nearby on a book stands a startled
rooster. ees

Varsity Finds Itself
in Swarthmore Game



“Come on, Bryn Mawr,” yelled a lusty;
voiced little boy on Wednesday afternoon

the -sidelines of the hockey field where
the Bryn Mawr-Swarthmore game was
being played. Bryn Mawr. did come on,
charging with the ball down to its op-
ponent’s goal where three sure shots into
the cage made a. final score of 3-2 in Bryn
Mawr’s favor. Varsity had found itself!
For almost the first time this year the
team played as a team. Interest in the
playing of individuals, which was of main
importance in last Saturday’s-game, was
quite lost in general admiration of the
smooth working of the eleven as a whole.

In the first half Swarthmore played
a purely defensive game, since Brym
Mawr’s speedy (they were on Wednes-
day) forwards were most of the time
swarming around her goal. For’ Swarth-

a redoubtable trio, well skilled in de-
fense tactics and a damper to the style
of Varsity’s front line. However, despite
such hard fighting of the Swarthmore
backs, Bryn Mawr scored three times.

The second half was characterized by
more general playing all over the, field.
Swarthmore’s forwards had found’ “sec
ond wind” whilst Varsity’s forwards ap-
peared to be losing a little of théir- co-
operative. spirit. :
ening up on Bryn Mawr’s defense;
Woodward, Collier, Ullom, Hirschberg,
McCully..and--Thomas~shated equally the’
honors of the backfield and managed to
stop’ the ball and send ‘it back to their
forwards even when Swarthmore was ex-
erting a tremendous effort—with short
time and the dark against them—to-make
the score a tie.

The game as'a whole was an excellent
one of fast, snappy playing; a. grand and

glorious climax-to all the other games
of the season. The line-up was as fol-
lows:

‘Whads He Give You?’

The A. B. degree- given by American
colleges merely indicates that the under-
‘graduate has agreed with his professors
during his four years in college, Dr. Fred-
rerick Rand Rogers, of New York City,
said recently in addressing some 5000
Utah educatots in session here.

“Scholastic grades as applied. in the
educational sysfém of America are-merely
a substitute for the dunce cap and the
whip,” said Dr. Rogers. “Colleges wor-
ship marks.” ‘A

Grades, he said, make a. battleground
of the classroom, and are a disgrace to
scientific education and must be done
away with. The highest grades as a
general rule, he said, go to the. student

can best imitate his teacher.—Intercollegi-

ENTHUSIASM RUNS HIGH



On Tuesday, November 19, Varsity

defeated the Faculty, 6-2, in'a fast, rough

and exciting game which roused the en-

thusiasm of those on the sidelines to its:

highest pitch. The technique of the game
was undeniably difficult to follow.because
fiost. of the players, particularly on the
Faculty team, seemed unaware that they
were to cover a definitely limited terri-
tory, but the spirit on both sides was
high and determined. It is possible that
occasions were being made and taken for
the settlement of private griidges in an
amiable, entirely sportsmanlike manner.

Faculty surprised everyone after the
first bully by picking up the ball and
carrying it in_spite-of--frantic~ attempts
on the part of their opponents to the first
goal of the ‘game. Varsity rallied after
-the--first-shock-and-retaliated with three
goals which Faculty could not stop. The
playing was--not—uneven but-went back

The same examination, given to fifty-

eight non-college men and women chosen |.

of this group was only 25 per cent. This
leads a-well-known writer to declare that
“our educational system trains to dis-
honesty and pretentiousness.. . . .”
Perhaps he is right, but nevertheless we
still defend bluffing. There is something
to it that savors of a reliant, do-or-die,
fighting spirit that seems commendable in
youth. Students on the whole know that
bluffing is wrong, yet they often resort
to it because of a notion that instructors
sometimes give some credit for “attempts”

deep blue to blue-green ‘to green-yel-
low and to yellow-red—and the near-
est comparison in an _ enamel, — but

has not its flame. It does not matter
if he paints people with green hair
and yellow flesh, for it is only a ques-
tion of key; among his landscapes is
a paintimg composed of green sky,
mauve mountains and yellow earth, as
strong a piece of beauty as seen any-
where; in “The Ravine” he gives the
tortured semblances of things; he can
represent the experience of torrid heat
in the leafless south and communicate
it likewise to you; the paintings of
Van Gogh are full of unrest and pain.

All these artists agonize to fight
their way back: from illusion to verac-
ity in the apprehension of things, from
the age of insincerity of formulae. ‘The
responsibility somehow is ours for the
ugliness of aspects, and complete ab-
sence of any content of which any
