Russell Discusses Use of Inference
In Life and Verification of Physics





Physical Relation Between
Actual and Perceived
Presented

Specially Contributed
By Lilias Swift, 44

Goodhart, October 19. If physics
is true, how is it known, and what
must be known in order to infer
it? This question was examined
by Mr. Bertrand Russell in his
third lecture on the Postulates of
Scientific Reasoning Tuesday eve-
ning. Accepting certain physical
laws, he showed that a connection
does exist between the physical
object and that which is perceived,
and that from this the laws of
physics may be inferred.

Mr. Russell indicated that he
favored the empirical interpreta-
tion, that knowledge can be _ in-
ferred from perception, over the
present idealistic tendency which
is derived from the Leibnitzian
theory of parallelism. He accept-
ed the truth of physics, as meant
by those theories which are gener-
ally accepted by physicists. Broad-
ly, these are the causal laws of
matter and motion, and the con-
cept of the limit, which apply to
macroscopic phenomena.

To support the hypothesis that
knowledge can be inferred from
perception, Mr. Russell minimized
the difference between mind and
matter. Defining a mental occur-
rence as one known without infer-
ence, he said he believed the real
confusion lay in the use of the
word space. If one says that a
percept is “what happens when I
see or hear something, or .other-
wise believe myself to become
aware of it through the senses”,
space itself is a percept and there-
fore mental. But there is also the
space of physics which cannot be
perceived.

There is a rough analogy be-
tween the two kinds of space, but
it does not always hold, Mr. Rus-
sell pointed out. The distinction
must be made that the percept of
-anything outside the percept of
the body is -in perpetual space,

Scientific Inferences Rest
On Testimony, Analogy,
Memory



Specially Contributed
By Marion Kirk, ’44

Dalton, October 15. Instances of
probable inference in practical liv-
ing were discussed by Mr. Ber-
trand Russell as the premises of
scientific knowledge, in His lecture
last Friday. In this second lec-
ture in the “Postulates of Scienti-
fic Method” series, he distinguished
substantial inference from math-
ematical as being a product of the
analysis and intellectualization of
animal immediate inferences. The
phenomena of the belief in perm-
anence and the reliance on mem-
ory, testimony and analogy Mr.
Russell found to be independent
sources of knowledge which must
be assumed before any. scientific
inference is possible.

Very close to the animal. reac-
tion (when a rabbit sees a fox and
runs) is the development of the
human reliance on the permanent
as expressed in language. This is

Large Registration
For War Activities
Reported by Alliance

The War Alliance Registration
Day for the drafting of manpower
on campus showed excellent re-
sults. 425 people registered to
contribute hours to some form of
war work.

Ann Fitzgibbons, head of the
Alliance’s war courses, points out
that.this year the emphasis is on
actual work, not on training, as
previously... Some of the more
necessary courses such as_ First
Aid and Nutrition will be given
however. Registration for both of
these courses falls just below the
minimum level of 20 people in each
Pai but it is hoped that there



ill be further registration for
oth the Nutrition and the First
Aid so that the can be
given,

courses

Off Campus

Off-campus volunteer jobs which
were most popular in the registra-
tion were USO work, ration board
work, and the work in the cafeter-
ia of the Bryn Mawr Hospital.
About 20 people signed up for cafe-
teria work and at least three
people from college are already
doing this work in the Hospital

Highlights of Summer’s Sojurn in Mexico
Described by Neustadt, Reiner and Nixon



By Mary Virginia More, *45

“The big thing about Mexico
that struck me was what wonder-
ful values everyone has,” exclaim-
ed Marian Neustadt when ques-
tioned on her stay there last sum-
mer; while Frances Reiner, who,
along with Marian, was a member
of an Experiment in International
Living group of five girls, remark-
ed upon how mannerly and warm-
hearted Mexicans were. Virginia
Lee Nixon, who spent the summer
studying at the National. Univer-
sity, commented on theirversatil-
ity. ‘te

Provincial Town

Frannie and Marian lived with
Mexican families in the rather
provincial town of Morelia, popu-
lation about 35,000, while Nicky
stayed in a lawyer’s home in Mex-
ico City. Marian’s family includ-
ed five children—her “brothers
and sisters”; in Frannie’s family,
there were eleven.

In the mornings informal lang-
uage classes were held at the ho-
tel for members of the group. All
had separate interests—Marian
studied singing and the guitar,
and Frannie took lacquer lessons.

Volcano
On one occasion they decided
to accompany their Mexican

friends to a new volcano. Their
train departed from Morelia at six-
thirty—by custom. There were
no signs of time tables; the train
which came from Mexico City was
very late—also by custom. All

those waiting settled down to
drinking cokes and playing rum-
my. “Coke and coke advertise-

ments are every place,” said Mar-
ian, “and the craze for rummy is
unbelievable.”

Progressing from the train in
an ancient Ford, the travellers
were met by horses and approach-
ed to within three miles of the
base of the volcano, where they
could feel-the heat from the

sparks, and hear the noise and ex-|

plosion. From 4 A. M. to 7 A. M.

they watched the red glow disap-|

pear with the approach of dawn,

and the: tall columns of smoke. *

On the return trip they sang
for seven hours without stopping.
“Mexicans have the _ strongest
lungs I’ve ever seen in anybody,”
said Marian admiringly.

Attitude Toward Girls

“If the men like you at all,”
Frannie commented, explaining
the custom of Gallos, “they seren-
ade you from two to four. Their
reaction to American girls is that
they are too boyish—they have so
little make-up, and don’t display
themselves to full advantage.

| While some of the girls are envi-

ous of the American girls’ free-
dom and chances for education, the
Mexican men are jealous of their
position and do not like a girl to
know too much.”

Mexico City

“Tradition in Mexico is a power
to be reckoned with, as is the pat-
riotism and nationalism,’ Marian
stated. She added: “I think we
learned to like the people more
than. anything.” Their close as-
sociation with their culture and
the general atmosphere of antiq-
uity hold great charm. “But you
feel they’ve been left behind...
Mexico doesn’t grow equally at all
—there is a great difference be-
tween town and country.”

Further Cooperation
With B. M. Requested
By Haverford’s NEWS

Haverford, October 14. A com-
bining of staffs was proposed by
the editorial board of the Haver-
ford News to the board of the
College News at a meeting held at
Haverford last Thursday. The plan
was brought forward as the basis
of further cooperation among the
three colleges at Swarthmore, Hav-
erford and Bryn Mawr. An invita-
tion had been ‘extended to the edi-
tors. of the Swarthmore Phoenix,
but they were unable to attend.



Newspaper Cooperation

The plan presented by Haver-
ford for cooperation with the
College News is as_ follows:
Each newspaper would cover
events of mutual interest to both
campuses by exchanging reporters
each week. In this way many ac-
tivities otherwise unpublicized
would be made known to the stu-
dents. Valuable experience would
be gained by reporters working on
papers with different organiza-
tions. A joint business board
would be established, thereby in-
creasing the amount of advertis-
ing in both papers. The editors
of the three papers would meet
once a month.

Using their own effort as an ex-
ample, the newspapers would ad-
vocate further combination of ac-
tivities on the three campuses.
Haverford criticized the attitude
of Bryn Mawr students and facul-
ty toward the established plan of
cooperation.

Unusual Perspective Used
To Portray Life Force
Of Nature

——__—_

An analysis of Chinese painting,
dealing especially with its vital
portrayal of nature, its relation to
the arts of calligraphy and poetry,
and its correlation of the roles of
both artist and observer was pre-
sented last Saturday by Mr. Wing-
Tsit Chan, Professor of (Clfnese
Culture at Dartmouth College.
This lecture entitled “Rhythmic
Vitality in Chinese Art’ was the
first of Mr. Chan’s series of lec-
tures on “The Spirit of Man in
Chinese Culture.”

Nature

Contrary to the opinion that
Chinese Art has been dominated
by nature, Mr. Chan stated that in
landscape painting, which is the
crowning point of Chinese art,
there has been rather a depart-
ure from the traditionally conceiv-
ed nature. Chinese painting is an
affirmation of life, utterly devoid
of the idea of escape, and it has
turned to nature as a subject for
art because she harbours’ the
larger meanings of life. But in
representing her, he pointed out,
the Chinese make little use of nat-
ural colors, or of light and shadow ~
detail, or, most strikingly, of per-
spective. The geometric dimen-
sions of scenes and the exact rela-
tions of objects do not occupy the
landscape painter.

i Vitality

The Chinese artist does not in-
sist on physical likeness in his
work, but seeks to portray the vi-
tality and essential movement of
his scene. He sees reality moving
and changing before him and he
tries to catch the vital force un-
derlying the altering forms. Thus,
said Mr. Chan, the painter realizes
that since the shape of his moun-
tain changes from glance to
glance, his own artistic perspec-
tive must change. Mr. Chan ex-
plained that the concept of “rhy-
thmic vitality” is found in the ear-
liest branches of Chinese Culture.
It is original with China and per-
meates all forms of her art.

Literary Quality
(Chinese art has been narrowed
down to the three forms of paint-
ing, calligraphy and poetry, the
last two forming the basis of art.
These haye been especially devel-

La Casa Espanola Endures Growing Pains;
Conversational Difficulties Prolong Meals



By Alison Merrill, 745
La casa espanola was a very

existence. Hidden away on the
first floor of Radnor, eleven girls
crept around avoiding each other,
and, not being awfully sure of how
to say, “Please pass the Brown
Betty” in Spanish, didn’t eat quite
enough—or worse, ate steadily for
half an hour to avoid any painful
conversation. Pantomime reached
great heights and the “college
reach” exceeded the bounds of
propriety.

A typical conversation went
something like this: First Span-
iard: “Es posible que _borrow.su
toothpaste?” Second Spaniard:
“Si, usted es welcome to lo, pero



no can find’lo en mi trunko.” First

Spaniard: “Que will I do? Es
necessario que I brush mis teeth.”

There were, of course, excep-
tions. Two Seniors had spent the
summer in Mexico and the very
speed with which they could “hab-
lar” was disconcérting. They were
aided and abetted by Miss Nepper,
instructor in Spanish and warden
of the Spanish House, Miss Zulu-
eta, the new instructor in Spanish
from Madrid, Ampara Gomez from
Costa Rica, and Barbara Baer,
graduate student in Spanish. Sit-
ting at two tables in one end of
Radnor’s ‘dining room, the Span-
iards tried to close their ears to

the chatter of-the fourteen Fresh-

men who this year disturb the
solemn and. intellectual air of the

Cooperation

The recent suggestion of the Haverford News to in-
crease the spirit of cooperation among the three colleges of
Bryn Mawr, Haverford and Swarthmore through editorials,
and through the combination of certain. departments of the
newspapers, raises the question of the meaning and value of
such “cooperation”. The plan was formulated by the three
presidents, leaving students and faculty confused about what
is demanded of them. Therefore the various elements in-
volved.do not seem in agreement on what is to be gained by
cooperation, not only in the present, but after the war.

Attitude of Faculty

Cooperation of the faculty is at present the most suc-
cessful phase of this plan. Since war has decreased the fac-
ulty of all three colleges, the joining of classes and exchange
of professors has enabled the colleges to maintain their cur-
riculum and in many cases improve it. Haverford, which
has suffered most, is benefiting from this more than Bryn
Mawr or Swarthmore. Yet Haverford students have voiced
the objection that Bryn Mawr faculty are not complying as
they should because some departments. have refused to ad-
mit Haverford students to their classes. However, may we
point out that in all cases where Haverford has not been able
to provide instruction in certain subjects, Bryn Mawr classes
have been open to Haverford students. If professors feel
that Haverford can provide adequate instruction in that field
for its own students, it is their prerogative to refuse admit-
tance.

Apparently Bryn Mawr is treating P gest cooperation
more as a war measure; Haverford is not’ What/will be the
attitude after the war when colleges have their full comple-
ment of faculty? Bryn Mawr seems to think cooperation
will again be limited to the exchange of professors who mere-
ly enrich the offered courses, but on whom they do not have
to depend for the basic lectures in the field. Haverford has
other plans. Instead\ of limitation after the war, it sees ex-
pansion to the founding of a university comprised of the
three colleges, or so President Morley has led his students to
believe. President Morley’s definition of university is appar-
ently different than the generally accepted one.

Extra-Curricular

There is also disagreement among the students .of the
colleges on the extent of cooperation in extra-curricular ac-
tivities. Because of the distance between the colleges it is
difficult for Haverford and Bryn Mawr to participate regu-
larly in Swarthmore events. This, in addition to its coeduca-
tion, makes Swarthmore self-sufficient. But Bryn Mawr and
Haverford have found joint activities such as glee club,
dramatics, and debate an improvement. Haverford now
urges further cooperation in extra-curricular activities, ‘but
offers no concrete suggestions. ‘Its students have expressed
- no interest in language clubs and they can take no practical



International University

Mr. Bertrand Russell’s ideas on the international uni-
versity, which he proposes shall be the “central institution”
of the post-war educational system, will prove of particular
interest to those who are interested in that field of recon-
struction. His article on “Education after the War”, pub-
lished in the August issue of the American Mercury, con-
tains some valuable specific suggestions on the nature and
purpose of such an international organ, besides stressing the
necessity for its existence in order to permanently guarantee
any international authority. Sin e formulated ideas on
international education and the central organization to di-
rect it have to date seemed to deal with this one, we wish
to call it to attention here.

The International Education Assembly which met at
Harper’s Ferry in September stressed points such as the in-
creased exchanges of students from different countries, the
teaching of an international language, the study of other cul-
tures, and the sense of “world citizenship’, but it did not
deal with Mr. Russell’s conception of an “international uni-
versity”. a

. Composition and Aims

Mr. Russell stressed the point that this university must
be post-graduate in drder to avoid competition with' existing
national universities. It would be open to students of all
races, colors and creeds who would there find complete free-
dom to pursue any field they chose. .The international auth-
ority would support the university, and its site would be a
neutral territory.

The aim of the university would be to present instruc-
tion “free from national bias’, to carry on research “calcu-
lated to encourage a universal human loyalty’, and finally,
to approve or write if need be, impartial textbooks for school
use. Mr. Russell takes history as an example of the manner
in which nationalistic bias can distort fact and mould it to
support a state’s ideology. He proposes that the university
appoint a licensing board to approve all textbooks employed
or newly-written. This impartial approval of the material
for education would never allow the various ideological prep-
arations for war found in Germany, Italy and Japan to arise.
lt seems to us, however, that the assumption that this licen-
sing board, which represents all countries and is faced with
the task of working out history, should function harmoni-
ously is perhaps too Utopian for the rest of the article.

Control of Propaganda

Every author of a textbook, under Mr. Russell’s pro-
posal, would be obliged to “seek the imprimatur of the inter-
national university” before his book could be used in schools;
and any nation refusing to accept this authorization for its
education would be penalized by the authority. This ar-
rangement would provide that the historic facts which are
presented to the students are internationally recognized as
true. To supplement this factual history, children and stud-
ents would be encouraged to read partisan statements and
the national literature of all countries, but by acquaintance
with the former, they would recognize all unevidenced prop-
aganda as such. Mr. Russell recommended that the instruct-
ors of training colleges be trained at the world university so
that its influence would pass to teachers and from there to
their students.

The new international outlook provided by this univer-
sity cannot fail to be recognized as being in line with nation-
al interests. The education which has been used so success-
fully as a weapon must now be employed to gain and guar-
antee “sincere cooperation in the preservation of world
peace” by all nations.

part in our War Alliance program except to attend the lec-
tures which are open to the public anyway. After surveying
their plan for combined work on the newspapers, it can only
be surmised as a measure to enpety the Haverford paper to
continue with its reduced staff.

Haverford seems to be clinging to the raft of cooperation
to keep its curricular and extra-curricular activities afloat
during war time. Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore find it help-
ful, but would not sink without it. After the deluge, Hav-

erford plans to use the raft as a foundation for better teach-
ing facilities and also to satisfy the interest of its students
for coeducation. We have deduced this from President Mor-
ley’s advising the Haverford. News to make their proposal
to the College News.

Swarthmore and Bryn Mawr have not yet stated their
post-war plans. In all fairness to students a
Presidents McBride and Nason should make their ‘position
clear to the members of their collegés.

Army Camp Weekend Rules

Declared Only Temporary
By Self-government

To the Editor of the College News:

Unfortunately there’ has been
some misunderstanding concern-
ing the recent action of the Self-
government Board requesting
that students get their parent’s
permission to stay at army camps.
This suggestion was not intended
to lessen our individual responsi-
bility, but the measure—-was. taken
as an emergency oné because the
situation of girls visiting army
camps came up suddenly at the be-
ginning of the year. No vote of
the association seemed necessary
as the suggestion was intended to
be _temporary and was_ never
meant to become a part of the
constitution. If, however, a large
proportion of students feel that







the issue warrants a vote, the Ex-.

ecutive Board is willing to call a
meeting of the association.

Housing Conditions

Both the Executive and Advis-
ory Boards thought that the re-
quest for parents’ permission was
an excellent one. They were unan-
imous in their agreement that a
weekend at an army camp is quite
different from the ordinary one,
because the individual usually
knows so little of the set-up re-
garding chaperonage. Asking spe-
cial permission from a permission-
giver did not seem_ sufficient as
the Hall President or deputy is not
in a position to know the condi-
tions in each army camp. Hous-
ing facilities in the towns near
the camps are notoriously bad
and the place is generally unfa-
miliar to the visitor. The integ-
rity of the individual is not the
question at hand; it is the problem
of dealing with something beyond
the individual’s control. Self-gov-
ernment would be assuming a res-
ponsibility which it cannot truth-
fully assume.

College Responsible

In addition to this, it must be
remembered that the College is
ultimately responsible for the stu-
dent’s welfare through the Self-
government Association. The
Boards felt that it was asking the
College to assume more than the
usual responsibility if students
were permitted to sign out for an
army camp with, in most cases,
but a vague idea of the circum-
stances they were going to meet.
We admit: that this system is
not the most convenient but it ap-
peared to be the best solution to
an urgent necessity before another
plan, now under consideration,
could be exefuted.

King-Hall Discusses
England’s Attitudes
And Post-war Plans

Common Room, October 15. Post
war plans for England, and the
British attitude toward current
political problems were discussed
by Commander King-Hall, an Inde-
pendent M. P. and retired naval
ofticer, last Friday night in an in-
tormal meeting.

Speculating on politics in Eng-
land, he said that he believed
Churchill would remain Prime
Minister long enough to see the
post-war plans ‘safely under way,

but that Mr. Eden would replace
him about two years after the
war. Stating that India would

definitely be given dominion sta-
tus after the war, he said that the
average Englishman’s attitude to-
ward the subject was best express-
ed by the Lancashire shopkeeper’s
remark that "This India business
is too tiresome.”

britishers everywhere are talk-
ing-of the ‘“‘New Britain” and the
Beveridge Plan which will put in-
to effect the social and economic
reforms necessary to handle un-
employment and to improve edu-
cation.

Plans for England after the
war include the building of four
million new homes within the next

Smaller 44 Yearbook
Announced by Board

The Yearbook for the class of
1944 will be “smaller this year
than usual,” according to its edi-
tor Polly Graham. Last year the
class decided that due to effects
of the war an effort should be
made to cut down on the budget.
This year’s total expense is not ex-
pected to exceed a thousand dol-
lars, compared to well over two
thousand spent in former years.

Changes

Polly Graham asserted that.the
change would be quantitative, and
in no way qualitative. The Year-
book, which is to consist of about
eighty pages, ‘will be divided into
two major sections. The first will
be an exclusively senior section;
the second, a running commentary
of the graduating class. The bulk
of the material will be pictorial
rather than written, with pictures
of the Seniors during their four
years, and of college life in gen-
eral,

Everything Fine

The outcome of the first meeting
of the combined Yearbook Boards
is that “everything is going all
right so far’. No great depart-
ures from convention are planned.
Getting pictures in these filmless
days may present a problem, but
a call to the campus, it is hoped,
will yield adequate material in
the ‘snapshot line. The Yearbook
is scheduled to go to the printer
by spring vacation, and it should
be ready for distribution late in
the spring.

Work Started

Members of the editorial board
have already started work with
Marion Kirk in charge of the col-
lection of photographs, and Senior
pictures in the hands of Diana Lu-
cas, Lucia Hedge, and Ellen Us-

“tick. The writing committee con-

iness Manager: Janet Hoopes, Ad-

wood, Subscription Manager: Mary
Ellis, and Junior class representa-
tive: Jeanne Marie Lee. In addi-
tion to these there will be repre-
sentatives to collect pictures in
each hall.

pled,

Subdued with, blood and fire;

Returned with wealth and title,

Pillaged from a nation’s pyre.

You took the White Man’s burden,

coolies were,

st it on our shoulders

ained and nailed it there.

n you bade us bow our
head,

And kneel in grateful prayer

In thanks for our deliverance,

Now the White Man was here.





You cried you sought our profit,
You labored for our gain,

But day by day, our people starved
And lived in fear and pain.

Your sons came out across the sea,
And drank their chota peg,

And England grew in wealth and

power,
And taught us how to beg.

You took the White Man’s burden,
And deplored the heavy load,
But when we tried to free you,
You let us feel the goad...

The goad of the master’s cannon
Filled many a sepoy grave;

We returned to humiliation,
Enchained, captive, slave.

You marked us with your living,

In our lost self-respect;

You marked us with your dead,

And made our sons erect

Monuments of honour

To those who forged our chain,

You made us cringe, and scrape,
and bow

To your arrogant disdain.

You took the White Man’s burden
Of bringing us the light,,

The light of greed and treachery,
Empire’s satellite.

You called us sullen devils,
Ignorant and ingrate,

Yourselves, the brave protectors,
Come to better our fate.

But what price was our safety?
The safety of a cell;

We bore the White Man’s burden,
Hating with the hate of hell.

We tilled the soil, we took up arms,
And toiled and fought for you,
Half-dead, wel sunk in slavery,
And lost our honour too.

And by the marks you left on us,

And by the things you do,

We, the silent, sullen folk

Have judged your Gods and you;
Your Gods are Greed and Avarice,
Force and Blood your creed,

And we will have no more of it,
Yea, though to death we bleed.

You called too loud on Freedom,

And we have caught the cry,

Lay down your Crowns and Em-
pires,

Imperialism must die.

This is the world of Free men,

And Tyranny’s overthrown,

Lay down that White Man’s bur-
den

Lest it be your own tombstone.

IRC to Open Season
With Negro Problem
As Topic for Debate

Political prospects on the Bryn
Mawr campus are looking up.
There will be more chance for
people to burn up excess energy
in violent debates. Various dis-
cussion groups and forums are be-
ing planned as special features
for the coming year.

The first issue for discussion,
slated for the latter part of next
week, will be “The Negro Citizen
in-~Wartime.” From Haverford
we hope to borrow Masamori Ko-
jima, who has made exhaustive
studies of minoriti One of sev-
eral Japanese s¢ddents now at the
college, he formerly studied at the
University of Yalifornia in Los
Angeles and wérked with the Jap-










anese language projects in the
Middle West, before coming to
Haverford.

Joint Meetings

The International Relations Club
in collaboration with the War Al-
lianee, will provide opportunity for
many additional discussions and
debates. Twice a month meetings
will be held with Haverford, and
plans are being made to include
Rosemont and Villanova. The first
of these joint meetings is taking
place tonight, Wednesday, in the
Government House at Haverford.
This is quite a triumph for IRC be-
cause Dr. Stinnes, noted for his
Haverford post-war planning sem-
inars, has agreed to speak and
lead the discussion following.

Undergraduate Clubs
Make Plans for Year

The different clubs on campus
have outlined tentative plans for
the coming year. Although the
Glee Club and the Varsity Players
Club have not yet formulated any
definite program, most of the oth-
er organizations have full and
varied schedules.

French Club

The language clubs will be par-
ticularly active this winter. Be-
sides its traditional play at Christ-
mas time, the French Club is con-
sidering presenting another sec-
ond semester. Both its productions
will depend on whether there is
sufficient time, material -.and talent.
There will be monthly French teas
and occasional “soirees”. If there
is no play next semester, lectures
will be presented by eminent
French speakers. The club is also
offering to all members the oppor-
tunity of attending the lectures of
the Alliance Francaise in Phila-
delphia.

German Club

The German Club will also give
a Christmas play with ¢arolling
afterwards. Six lectures on Ger-
man culture, presented by stud-
ents, are planned, and a great ef-
fort is being made this winter to
see that members of the element-
ary class learn more conversation.
The usual songs and games will
be held in the German House all
during the year. “Our policy”,
said the president of the club, “is

to combine informality, worth-
whileness and food”.
Spanish Club

The Spanish Club will present
a Christmas play that will fea-
ture the antics of the devil. Mov-



our work in with one shift of that
organization.
On Campus

On campus the most popular
jobs were the work on the grounds,
collecting for various drives, and
helping with college rationing.
There were more. volunteers: for
work on surgical dressings than
any of these*campus jobs, but it is
very doubtful that we will be able
to. start a Red Cross surgical
dressings room on campus. The
work will probably be in Ardmore.
The Home Mechanics course of-
fered had a very good registration,
and Miss Howe is arranging for it
to be given.

Certain types of work will not be.
started as there does not seem to
be sufficient interest in them.
These include the Home Nursing
and the Nurses Aid Courses which
will not be given.

The large registration for out-
side activities of this sort is at-

Tribune Journalist Warns
Against Japan’s Grip
On Asia

Goodhart, October 13. Naming
four essentials for constructing a
post-war government in Japan and

warning against the Japanese
moves toward building a co-pros-
perity: sphere in Asia, Wilfrid

Fleisher opened the first in a series
of War Alliance assemblies with a
discussion of Our War with Japan.
Mr. Fleisher, a writer for the New
York Herald Tribune and Time
magazine, and for fifteen years a
resident of Japan, traced the
course of the Japanese govern-
ment from its source, the Emper-
or, through the “shadowy group”
which controls that divine symbol-
to the people.

Liberals

We must realize, in our post-
war treatment of Japan, that we
cannot impose western ideas on a
Japanese foundation, Mr. Fleisher
said. “We must first restore order
out of anarchy and find some cen-
ter of stabilization.” The center of
stabilization, Mr. Fleisher felt,
should be the Emperor, who,
through a puppet, is a symbol and
a rallying-point for the people. The
war lords must go and the defects
in the constitution which give
these war lords their power must
bé& remedied. Lastly, we must find
someone to deal with in Japan.
Pointing to the liberals as ‘now
only a handful of old men”, Mr.
Fleisher said that we will have to
keep an army of occupation in
Japan until some liberal element
comes to the fore.

Propaganda ,

“Japan’s policy in dealing with
conquered territory,” said Mr.
Fleisher, “is sowing the seeds of
future trouble.” Mentioning Thai-
land, Burma, the Dutch East In-
dies, and the Philippines as_ ex-
amples, he stated that promises of
independence and gifts of territory
have promoted good will toward
Japan and their co- prosperity

winter to reviye the Madrigal

couraging, since the class of 1947
has shown itself to be one of the
most musical classes in the history
of the college. About 50% of them
are eligible. It is hoped that
meetings will begin after Lantern
Night.

The Modern Dance Club has ar-
ranged to have Malvina Taiz come
once a week on Wednesday nights,
for two hour classes of instruction
in modern dancing. The classes
will be held in the Wyndham Mu-
sic room and sports credit will be
given. Miss Taiz and several of
her Philadelphia pupils will give
an informal demonstration of mod-
ern dance techniuges in the near
future. The classes will continue
for approximately 25 weeks:

Practical Inference —
Analyzed by Russell

Continued from Page 1

a rationalization of the same in-
ference involved in making a word
act as a sign for an object. Fur-
ther, ideas are in this way seen as
substantial inferences from _ the
primative relationship of A with
B. The “idea” of B is born when
the word for A causes a reaction
to B without the immediate exper-
ience of B. In this manner the
word “smoke” brings about the
reaction fora real fire.

Memory

Memory is the second premise
that must be accounted for in ar-
“riving at the true nature of a sit-
uation. As an independent infer-
ence, memory cannot be derived
from the final answer, for in all
practice, memory will be a cogent
defense against even logical or
scientific explanations of situa-
tions or events.

Testimony

The third source of belief that
is presupposed by the scientific
method, is testimony. This is caus-
ed by the same animal inference
at the basis of language that con-
nects word with the object it sig-
nifies. The impulse to action that
defines the word idea is often in-
hibited in regard to . testimony—
because testimony is an inference
made beyond one’s own experience.
Nevertheless Mr. Russell stated,
no word would be understood if
the animal inference—belief in the
meaning or testimony of the word
—preserved at least in the sub-
conscious.

Analogy

The fourth source of knowledge
is analogy—or an apprehension
of things unexperienced in terms
of things already understood. This
type of inference extends entirely
out of the realm of all actual ex-
perience. But because it is always
credited, it becomes the basis for
scientific hypothesis. In this way
the theory of sound waves is an
example of the principle of prob-
able inference at work.

This difference was also stress-

that very few outside the educat-
ed class can read.

All three girls were emphatic on
one point: they were disgusted
not only by the complete lack of

Psychological Plot in‘Equinox’
Creates Tragic and Vivid
First Novel



By April Oursler, ’46

As a “first novel”, Allan Sea-
ger’s Equinox is .a striking suc-
cess. Well-written and _ strongly
characterized, it is an interesting
example of the current return to
the psychological novels of the
twenties.

Mr. Seager tells the story of
Richard Miles, a war correspond-
ent who has come home after his
ex-wife’s death, and—Mary,—his
seventeen-year-old daughter, whom
he has not seen in ten years. Dom-
inating this is the story of an
arch-fiend in modern dress—Henry
Verplanck, an amateur psycholo-
gist—cold, unfeeling, fanatical, in
using his “friends” as guinea pigs
in his large scale experiments on
neuroses. : .

Verplanck is. almost an old man.
He is rich, and fat, and lives bound
up in notebooks of copious details
covering every reaction of his
subjects’. characters. He has al-
ready driven one man to death
through alcoholism, and is begin-
ning experiments on Margery
Eliot, a high-class prostitute, when
he meets Miles at Margery’s

aes t ow ‘

October 19:

“Since the paramount task fac-
ing the United Nations today is
the shortening of the war, estab-
lishment of a second front in
Europe is essential”, stated Miss
Henle. This problem will be first
on the agenda of the Moscow con-
ference; there it will be be decided
whether the war is to be long or
short. The purpose of any second
front, Miss Henle went on, is fore-
ing the enemy to divide his troops,
and at the same time making sure
that one’s allies will not have to
divide his. This is exactly what
we would accomplish through a
second front in Europe.

On the other hand, the demands
of the five senators that Russia
give up Siberian bases are extreme-
ly unwise. Such an act:would in-
variably entail Russia’s declaring
war on Japan, thus forcing her to
withdraw men from the all-import-
ant Nazi front. We must remem-
ber, added Miss Henle, that Ger-
many is the heart of the Axis;
without her support Japan would
not be a first rate military power.

Aid: Coalition
The second front is the key not

only to shortening the war, but
also to winning the peace. The







Common Room,



apartment. Seeing an opportunity

‘to investigate she possibilities of

father-fixation through sugges-
tion, Verplanck gradually con-
vinces Miles that Mary’s love. is
more than the love of a girl for
her father, that it is unnatural
and that she needs a psychologist’s
care. Getting the daughter as a
patient, he suggests the same
thing to her—playing the two
against each other until their con-
fusion and strain is heightened to
an unbearable stage. With ‘his
suggestibility intensified, Miles
finds himself enlarging things—
things Mary says, her gestures,
her expression—into incriminating
traces of her “illicit” love for him.

Written in a style almost poetic
in its evenness and its eye for
vivid detail, the book is outstand-
ing for its expert management of
character development. Each chap-
ter is written from the point of
view of an individual character—
each, as it were, speaks for him-
self, and the author is no longer
an omniscient god. He is an ob-
server, fitting all that he sees into
one large pattern—the gradual
deterioration of the seemingly
normal characters of both Mary
and Miles.

I cannot say how strong the
plot is, in so far as its psycholog-
ical validity goes. It is, however,
more than credible; it is a tragedy
almost classical in structure and
scope.

that of the observer who appreci-

his rich imagination and _ exper-

artistic expression is completed
by the observer who finds in the

Herman Giersch, Bryn Mawr Band Leader,
‘Keeps Freshmen Songs a Secret 37 Years



By Patricia Behrens, ’46

For. thirty-six years, Herman
Giersch and the Bryn Mawr Band
have taken part in every Parade
Night and May Day celebration
at the college. Two weeks ago the
band marched across the campus
with a new class of Freshmen for
the thirty-seventh consecutive
time. In all their years of Parade
Nights, the band has not once been
responsible for the discovery of
the Freshman song.

“T feel very proud of our rec-
ord,” says Herman Giersch, the
band’s director, “and hope we can
keep it up for many years to
come.”

The band never practices the
Freshman tune ahead of time, for
fear that it may reach the ears of
spying Sophomores. Mr. Giersch
receives the tune from the person
responsible and does not tell it to
the band members until it is time
for them to begin to play.

Past experience has shown Mr.
Giersch that his precautions are



ory. Outstanding ammong his mem-
ories are torchlight processions of
the 1890’s, parades in New Jersey
and Delaware, parades with the
Bryn Mawr Fire Department,
which won the.band the nickname
of “Firemen’s Band,,’ and Friday
night concerts in the park. Week-
ly concerts were given by the band
for years in what is now the Bryn
Mawr playground.

Chicago Tribune Photographs Bryn Mawr;
Release to Coincide with President’s Trip



Bryn Mawr is soon to be featur-
ed in the Chicago Tribune’s
weekly rotogravure feature entit-
led “Youth on the Campus.” Us-
ing to advantage his 300 odd
pounds of equipment, Mr. Andrew
Paolin, TRIBUNE photographer,
made himself busy around campus
last weekend.

Although the TRIBUNE is
mainly interested in girls from the
Middle West, as Miss Eleanor
Neigle, reporter, said, she and Mr.
Pavlin stopped any likely photo-
genic subjects they saw and while
Mr. Pavlin snapped their pictures
against the background of campus
buildings, Miss Neigle took ‘their
names and asked where they came
from. Nearly 30 pictures were
taken.

Some of these pictures, plus
attached, will appear in the TRI-
BUNE late in November. Quite
by chance, their appearance will
coincide with the trip which Miss

the alumnae and speak to a group
of school principals. At Milwau-
kee she will attend another gath-
ering of alumnae, and at Madison.
she will speak to the women of
the University of Wisconsin. She
will then go to Minneapolis and

St. Paul, where there will be more

alumnae meetings.

There are at present at Bryn

inois, several of these “second gen-
