Philosopher Must
Make Metaphysical

Basis for Science



Northrop Thinks All Branches

Oi Knowledge Are Related
On This Ground



SUGGESTS FOUNDATION
FOR GROUND RESEARCH



Common Room, October 15.—“To
suppose that man can meet the intel-
lectual and social demands of the

twentieth century with a_ philoso-
phical outlook devised for the scien-
tific ideas and practical demands of
the seventeenth century is absurd.”
With. these words from the paper
which he read for the Philosophy
Club this evening, Professor F. S. C.
Northrop, of Yale, emphasized the
need. at the present time for research
in the philosophy of contemporary
science.

_ Since science itself is concerned
with the application of its theories to
concrete facts and practice, it cannot
likewise perform the opposite task
of enlarging these theories into meta-
physical principles. Yet such prin-
ciples must be formulated, because
previous systems of metaphysics can
no longer stand in the light of the
discoveries which modern physicists
and mathematicians have made. Nor
can the social sciences, which derive
their ends from philosophical concep-
tions, advance with any certain direc-
tion and effectiveness, unless the ends
which they follow are related to con-
ceptions that hold today. Even if
the natural sciences are to progress,
they must devote more attention to
reconstructing their fundamental as-
sumptions, since the discoveries to be
made from examining the apparent
fact or from proceeding according to
established theory are almost ex-
hausted.

In order to formulate new philoso-
phie-concepts, itis necessary that
there be specialists who devote all
their time to interpreting the new
mathematics and physics for the
world just as Leibniz, Spinoza, Hume,
and Kant gave all their lives to re-
vealing what the far less complicated
science of Galilei and Newton really
involved. These specialists must be
philosophers trained for the handling
of abstract concepts: They must un-
derstand and be ready to use a
method which both the Greeks. and
the thinkers of the seventeenth cen-
tury, faced with the same problem of
reconstructing their philosophy to fit
their science, proved to be not only
successful but logically correct. Ac-
cording to it, “one cannot proceed di-
rectly from a technical scientific fact
to a specific philosophical conclusion,”
but only . indirectly through “the
more general principles common to

Lantern Hymns Sung

In Steady Drizzle}



Sophomores Falter \at Start But
Sing “Pallas” Clearly
In Semi-Circle

“O, SUSANNA” IS REVIVED



Friday, October 16.—Under the
worst weather conditions that could
possibly have prevailed, the Class of
1940 received their light-blue lanterns
from the Class of 1939 in the Cloisters
of the Library. Lantern Night tick-
ets stated that the performance, which
was scheduled for 8 o’clock, would be
postponed in case of rain, but the
downpour, which continued all through
the ceremony, began after the specta-
tors were all gathered on campus, so
that the freshmen and sophomores
were forced to go through with it.

To the spectators on the Cloister
roof, huddled under umbrellas, the
darkness and rain made the dark and
silent entry of the freshmen imper-
ceptible. The long line of sophomores
entered rather more slowly than
usual, and at first one of the two
lines sang almost a beat behind the
other. By the time they had gathered
in a semicircle they sang together and
clearly, the sopranos and altos being
especially good. The freshmen, on
the other hand, started out well and
continued in unison until just before
they left the cloisters.

The juniors and seniors greeted the
two lower classes with a large repre-
sentation under Pembroke Arch.
After the college had: repeated the
two Greek hymns, the freshmen sang
for the first time their class song,
which is written to the tune of Fin-
landia, and revived that old favorite,
O, Susanna, as their lyric song.



Lantern Man Has Faithfully Escorted
Late Bryn Mawrters-for Nine Years



After Years of Practice Has
Nightly Hikes to Station
Timed Exactly



One of Bryn Mawr’s unsung heroes
is the familiar Lantern Man. Every
night from dusk till after midnight
he swings along, lantern in hand, to
greet the outbound Paoli Local as it
periodically grinds to a stop in the
Bryn Mawr station. He is the silent,
but niever-failing guardian of the hap-
less college girl who, returning from
a large weekend, faces the dark walk
from station to campus alone.

The Lantern Man, whose real name
is Joseph Haggerty, has been the of-
ficial aftef-dark train-meeter for
nine years. Ten years ago he came

to this country from his native town

of Donegal in the north of Ireland.

Long béforé he left the Emerald Isle
_ for America, he had planned to join
his- wrote. ~hcnad taken -up resi-

dencé in New Zealand. Before he
got thére, however, the war came
along and for a time he completely
lost trace of the ‘brother. Meanwhile

he signed up for service in France,
but being a government worker, was
not sent. Later he located the long-
lost brother, but not before he had
decided against New -Zealand as a
home in favor of America.

After nine years of practice meet-
ing trains has become a fine art with
the Lantern Man. His timing is per-
fect; it takes him exactly eight niin-
utes to walk from Taylor to the sta-
tion. After meeting the last train at
12.45 a. m. he comes back for a gen-
eral round of the campus and goes off
duty at 3.30 a. m.

He has walked a good many miles
since he first took the job in 1927,
but he likes the exercise. He never
has time to be bored or lonely, for
trains come at surprisingly frequent
intervals, and when there isn’t a train
in the offing _— are odd jobs to be
ant, =
Long years of association with the
college have made him very loyal to
it. When questioned, he observed with
a smile that the Bryn Mawrters were



very nice girls to escort home.

Freshman Class of 114
Smaller Than Average



Size of College ‘as Whole Larger
Than Usual; Undergraduates
Are 525 Strong

20 ALUMNAE MOTHERS!



Music Room, October 15.—How
many, where they hail from, their
genealogy, and their mothers’ and
fathers’ education were the subject of
the first of President Park’s two
chapel speeches on Freshman Statis-
tics. The class is small, 114, counting
the seven transfer students, in com-
parison with the average reckoned
from 1922, 117.

Geographically speaking, the new
class varies a little from normal.
From 1922 up to 1933 an average of
65 per cent of the class came from a
rectangular strip with New York at
the north, Washington at. the south
and Paoli at the west. In ’33 this
dropped to 43 per cent, in ’34 it was
53 per cent, and this year is in keep-
ing with the trend of the last couple
of years, with 44 per cent of the
class coming from this area. The
Middle West comes in a very poor
second with 18 per cent which is
about normal; and New England is
well above average, contributing 17
per cent. The “also rans” are Upstate
Pennsylvania nine per cent, Upstate
New York fiyé per cent, the Goast four
per cent, southern States three- per
cent, and Mexico, England and Se
ada with one each.

In accordance with many women’s
colleges, Bryn Mawr freshmen have
a very high percentage of American
born parents and grandparents. Sixty-
one per cent have parents and four
grandparents born in America, and
15 per cent report one grandparent
only born out of the United States.
Fathers are either more _ predomi-
nately English or else “vaguer as to
their family stock” than mothers, be-
cause 63 per cent_of the fathers report
their ancestors came from the British
isles while only 43 per cent of the
mothers’ families do.

The percentage of students whose
parents have both had college train-
ing or are college graduates is on the
-nerease (34 per cent this year),
while the percentage of students
neither of whose parents have had
college training is on the decrease
(this year 21 per cent). Forty-four
per cent of the class have one parent
with college training. Of the moth-
ers with college training, 20 are for-
mer Bryn Mawrters.



October 20.—In its preparation the
class of 1940 shows wide diversity.
Twenty-three per cent were prepared
by public schools and seventy-seven
per cent by private schools, the last
showing a rise of eight per cent since
1932. The;freshmen have been in 80
different schools within the last three
years. Twenty schools, including
Baldwin, the Brearley, Dalton, Made-
ira’s, Shipley and Winsor, sent at
least two girls to Bryn Mawr this
year. Forty-one schools, among which
were 23 private schools and 18 public
schools, sent one girl.

In entering, 90 girls took College
Entrance Board Examinations, under
Plans A, B and C, 4, the New York
Regent’s examinations and 12 took no
examinations at all, either under Plan
D or through the Progressive Edu-
cation Experimental Group. An esti-
mate of the Admission Committee

Denbigh and Rock to Give Dances

Pre-quiz grace is being made the
most of the campus. On October
31, Denbigh Hall is giving a dinner-
dance from 7 to 11.30. The eight
pieces of Bill Sharp’s Chestnut Hill
Orchestra will play for about sev-
enty-five dancers. .

On the following Saturday, Rocke-
feller will repeat its successful. ven-
ture of last year and will again give
a dance, preceded by a buffet supper.
Walter Howson, of the University of
Pefinsylvania, Margaret Howson’s
brother, and his seven-piece —
will supply the music.”

Literature as an Art
Interests Dr. Fiesel



Visiting Linguist Completing New
Etruscan Grammar



“Chance brought me to my work,
but fascination held me there,” said
Dr. Eva Fiesel, eminent Etruscan
scholar and Visiting Professor of
Linguistics at Bryn Mawr. During
the war Dr. Fiesel served as a nurse,
but because of an illness had to give
this up and returned to studying. She
worked under one of the two great
Etruscan scholars of modern times,
Professor G. Herbig, who urged Dr.
Fiesel to investigate special linguistic
problems in his field.

The obscurity which envelopes the
origin and language of the Etruscans
had already been investigated by
Italian humanists as early as 1500.
The Etruscans, who are believed to
have originated in Asia Minor, ar-
rived in Italy probably about the be-
ginning of the first millenium B. C.
Although the Etruscans had a great
cultural influence on ancient Italy, we
are not as yet able to translate their
inscriptions. Dr. Fiesel, feeling that
new methods of investigation are
necessary, has specialized her ap-
proach to the subject and is now com-
pleting a book on Etruscan grammar.

Having obtained her Ph. D. in 1921
from the University of Rostock, Dr.
Fiesel spent much time studying
Etruscan remains in Italy and lec-
tured at the University of Munich
from 1930-33. For the past two years
she has been doing research work with
the Department of Linguistics at
Yale.

In New Haven Dr. Fiesel found no
trace of Yankee aloofness, but saw in
“the amiable humor” and lack of “ter-
rible hurry” the same qualities which
she had encountered ifthe coast town
where she was born.
exciting because of a history built in
an amazingly short time,% these are
to Dr. Fiesel the predominant Ameri-
can characteristics.

Not only literature as an historical
development, but literature as an art,
engages Dr. Fiesel. Music is, how-
ever, probably “most necessary” to
her. She is particularly fond of Mo-
zart. Though Dr. Fiesel and her
daughter have had little o sortunity
to travel in America, she/has accli-

MR. ALWYNE PLAY
BACH AND SCHUMANN



On next Sunday afternon, October
25, Mr. Alwyne will give a pianoforte
recital in the Deanery at 5 o’clock
as part of the entertainment of Alum-
nae Weekend. The program begins
with two selections from _ Bach,
Chorale Prelude, “Wacht auf, ruft
uns die Stimme,” arranged by Busoni,
and Pan’s Dancing Son, from Phoe-
bus and Pan, arranged by Rummel.
Haydn’s Andante con Variazioni in F
minor is next. The second part of
the program is a series of twelve selec-
tions from Schumann’s Papillons, Op.
2: “Waltz,” “Entry Rowdy: Masks,”
“Dance of the Big Boots,” “Vult,”
“Vult and Wina,”’ “Pierrot and Co-
lumbine,” “Serenade,” “Dance of Vult
and Wina,” “Dance of the Butterflies,”
“Dance of the Lovers,” ‘“Polanaise;
Intermezzo amo¥osso,” and “Grand-
father Dance; End_of the Carnival.”
The third part of the program begins
with Chant Polonais by Chopin-Liszt,
then Liszt’s Legend: “St. Francis
Preaching to the Birds,” followed by
April by Ireland, Goosens’ The Mari-

PURPOSE IS CONTACT
WITH COLLEGE LIFE





On the weekend of Friday, October
23, to Monday, October 26, the usual
privacy of classroom and campus to
which, the undergraduates are accus-
tomed, will be broken, so that alumnae
will be able to see college girls as
they really are. In past years grad-
uates have returned only when stu-
dents were cutting, capers on the
quadrennial May Day or when classes
were no longer in session as at Com-.
mencement time.

A need was therefore felt-to have
a reunion when classrooms and labo-
ratories would be open for visitors.
Last year the Fiftieth Anniversary
gave ample opportunity for alumnae
to see their alma mater again, but
this year there will be no activity en-
ticing enough to lure the graduates
over great distances for a reunion.

Consequently the Executive Board
of the Alumnae Association has chosen
this year to have the -first Alumnae
Weekend. This idea has been used
in other colleges and served to keep
alumnae in contact with college life.
Similar success is hoped for at Bryn
Mawr.

The project is being supervised by
the Alumnae Executive Board with
the assistance of the Deanery House
Committee, headed by Mrs. C. Town-
send Ludington, 1922, and a Special
Hospitality Committee supervised by
Mrs. Philip Hepburn, 1927. The
president of the Executive Board is
Ida Lauer Darrow, 1921, and Yvonne

Political Views Welcome
At Symposium on 27th



Speakers Will Defend Various Party
Planks; Discussion Urged



Common Room, October 20.—Con-
fronted by the possibilities of either a
political symposium or a meeting pre-
ceded by a rally, the members of the
A. S. U., the Industrial Group and
the International Club decided on the
former. It was urged that a rally
might make it difficult to establish the
correct atmosphere for the speakers.

The forum will be held in the Gym
at 8 o’clock on Tuesday, October 27.

Choir rehearsal and Dr. Fenwick’s
Current Events lecture have been
changed for the occasion. Dr. Fair-

child will present the Communist’s
position, Dr. Miller that of the Social-
ists‘and Dr. Wells will do the same
for the Democrats. A Republican
speaker will be secured.

As discussion will be encouraged
after the speeches, students are urged
to go to the following to obtain litera-
ture concerning the various platforms:
Naomi Coplin, Communist, 62 Den-
bigh; Irene Ferrer, Democrat, 16
Rockefeller; Eleanor Taft, Republi-
can, 7-9 Pembroke East, and Sylvia
Wright, Socialist, 23 Pembroke West.



LATIN CLASSES WILL
GIVE MOSTELLARIA



A performance ‘of the Mostellaria
of Plautus, translated into English
by Margaret Lacy, ’37, and directed
by Miss Lake, will be given in Good-
hart Hall on the evening of Satur-
day, the 24th of October. As the
production is scheduled for the week-
end that the alumnae will be visiting
the college, admission will be free.

It is strange, when we think of it, that the college so long headed

tion. For this reason,

Contact!

For alumnae and undergraduates alike, this weekend should prove
to be a strengthening of the close tie which has always united Bryn
Mawr’s present with its past—a tie whose existence has been proved
time and time again by the whole-hearted activity on Bryn Mawr’s

behalf which has characterized its alumnae.

Arising from plans dis-

cussed last spring in connection with the founding of an alumnae col-
lege, this weekend is designed to allow the alumnae as a group to visit
the campus when it is in a state of normal existence, not thrown into

Day festivities or by ,Commeneement jubilation.

the material generosity so lavishly exhibited to the college heretofore,
and that, seeing our needs and failings at first hand, they will be able
to give us the encouraging and worldly advice which they alone, of all

jgroups connected with the-college, can summon.

Chestnut: The Children’s Hour by
the young playwright, Lilian Hellman,
opened Monday for a three-weeks’ run.
It is a widely admired. drama about
the ruin of the lives of three people
because of the malicious gossip of a
nasty little girl. The first two acts
are tense and swiftly moving, but the
last act, which is much too long, de-
generates into stark and meani
melodrama. The original cast, fea-
turing Florence McGee, continues with
this production.

Erlanger: Forbidden Melody, the
latest Sigmund Romberg Central Eu-
ropean musical. romance continues
here for another week. Carl Brisson,
the Danish singing star, plays the
male lead.

Forrest: Blossom Time, Romberg’s
old operetta based on the life of Shu-
bert, also plays its last week in Phila-
delphia.

New Locust: Personal Appearance
reopens in Philadelphia October 26
after a successful run here last
winter. Critics approved of this
rather lively comedy two seasons ago
in New York. :

Forrest: Leslie Howard’s Hamlet

Movies
Aldine: The Gay Desperado, the
last Pickford-Lasky collaboration,

satirizes successfully both American
gangsters and Mexican singing ban-
dits. Nino Martini trys hard to live
down his unfortunate resemblance to
Erik (Scoosie-please) Rhodes.
Arcadia: The Gorgeous Hussy, a
pseudo-historical opus, has nothing but
Melvyn Douglas, a good title and a
box-office draw (Joan Crawford).
Boyd: Craig’s Wife, George Kelly’s
most successful comedy-drama turned
into straight movie drama with a

Earle: Two in a Crowd is a comedy
ning Joel McCrea, Joan Bennett,

(Ah Wilderness!) and a race-horse.

Europa: Liebelei, Viennese romance,
starring the romantic composers and
Beethoven.

Fox: Libeled Lady, starring Wil-

News of the New York Theatres

Stage Door, by George Kaufman
and Edna Ferber.

Margaret Sullavan’s latest vehicle
for the Theatre Guild is a play about
theatrical life in New York by the
distinguished collaborators, George
Kaufman and Edna Ferber. These
play manufacturers have a decided
flair for writing comedy which is not
quite light and not quite significant.
In other words, they possess a realis-
tic point of view which leads them
to class the bitter ironies of life as
part of their comic material, yet they
never seem to see situations which
have not been brought to attention be-
fore, Their distinction lies in their
ability to read new humor into fa-
rmiliar conditions.

Stage Door is thoroughly a part of
this tradition. It is laid in a board-
ing house for young female devotees



of the moedvey life, and it es

aghered cob always made.

might as well scratch out the first item
we choose to mention: Benny, the

where the rest of Philadelphia goes,
by all means visit Benny the Bum’s.

meal. Convenience is the main attrac-
tion of the Quaker Lady because it is
only a block and a half from the
Academy of Music.

Continuing to the corner of Thir-
teenth and Locust, we turn left and
find Van Tassel’s, a self-effacing res-
taurant which scorns neon lights and
red-letter specials. Food is reputedly
good and Budweiser beer is served
withal.

We retrace our steps, past Locust
to Walnut Street, where, turning left,
we pursue our course to midway be-
tween Eleventh and Twelfth, where
South Quince Street lurks in the ob-
security adjacent to the Forrest The-
atre. Gingerly we seek out the Blue
Lantern tea room for an economically
satisfying meal. This is an excellent
place to go-if you have a desire to dis-
cover the side streets of Philadelphia,
where convention and security are
sacrified ,to mystery and quaintness.

Sampled and recommended by a
member of the faculty is Le Fren, in
a basement on Chestnut Street, be-
tween Sixteenth and Seventeenth
Streets. It is known particularly for
its German food, which is not expen-
sive. .

Outstanding.in its modern equip-
page is the Flanders Grill, newly
erected on the Corner of Sixteenth
and Walnut. Tables are laid out in
random fashion to take up a mini-
mum of space. The result is amiable
confusion. In a room adjacent to the
main one there is a bar for the con-
coction of cocktails before dinner.

might try a little Hungarian stew,

one Hollywood success, one suicide,
one surrender to the wicked life of

336 React Positively
To Tuberculin Tests



Test is Economical Measure to Save

X-Raying All College



Out of the total number of individ-
uals who have taken the tuberculin
test, 336 reacted positively and were
X-rayed. Of this number 110 were
employees and 226 were students.
The fact that, of the two groups,
the percentage of employees who
showed a positive reaction is larger
than the percentage of f students
who did so, is easily explained,
as the employees, being older, have
had more opportunity to be exposed.

A positive reaction to the injection,
which consists of some of the protein
material derived from the killed
bacilli, is manifested by redness and
swelling at the site of injection 48
hours after it has been done. This
shows that at some time during his
life the individual has had a tubercu-
lar infection which may or may not
have healed up, because if he has
once been infected by the tubercle
bacilli, his body is henceforward al-
ways Sensitive to them.

The tuberculin tests are principally
for the sake of economy, as they show
which individuals might possibly have
an infection in their lungs and thus
save the expense of X-raying every-
e. Out of all the individuals who
are X-rayed, itis not probable that
more than half a dozen will be found
to have any shadows in: the lungs
which will require further care.
Should any actual cases be found,
these individuals will be watched and .
perhaps advised to modify their lives.

Spanish War Situation
Represented on Map



A. Wight, ’39, Follows Campaign
From Day to Day Accounts
In Newspaper



REBEL POSITION STRONG

At the outbreak of the civil war
in Spain, Anne Wight, ’39,. who
aspired to write a story with that
country as a background, drew a map-



outline of Spain on cardboard in order
to understand the situation more
clearly. She inserted cities where the

fighting was the worst, and put in
pins with red and white paper pen-
nants to point out the relative posi-
tions of the government and rebel
forces. So great was the change in
affairs from day to day that, after
the first ten pages, Miss Wight de-
‘stroyed the story and deyoted her
whole attention to the map, which she
continues to keep up to date.

Since all her information is gained
from newspapers, any statements con-
cerning the Spanish war cannot be
regarded as authoritative, but as ex-
tremely interesting analysis and in-
terpretation of fact. The following
‘is the situation as she sees it:

Madrid, the capital of Spain, which
is still in the hands of the government,
is in direct communication by railway
with the cities of Valencia, Alicante
and Murcia, which are on or near the
eastern coast of Spain. The rebels





are at this point trying to sever these
connections so that Madrid, deprived
of supplies, will be forced to capitu-
late. General Emilio Mola, a rebel

commander, is moving his troops

{southward toward Madrid, while Gen-

eral Franco, who is in supreme com-
mand of the rebels, is advancing
northward to that city.

In Oviedo, a northwestern city, the

rebels were taking a- last stand in a

munitions factory, hoping to be ‘res-
cued at any moment. On Monday,
October 19, we learned that help had
come to them, and so the rebel hold in
Spain was gradually strengthened.
The owitcome is still doubtful, how-
ever, and attention is now centered on
General Franco’s march toward
Madrid. This is the focal point o
the whole rebel offensive. *

As for Miss Wight’s personal
sentiments concerning the probable
victor, she remains noncommittal by
remarking that she doesn’t like either
side, but is inclined to favor the reb-
els because they are less radical.
Nevertheless, it is not to be assumed
that the present government is en-
tirely Communistic. On the contrary,
there are only two Communists in
the cabinet. The government is
mainly Socialistic, whereas the reb-
els are regarded primarily as Fascists.

These categories tend to over-
simplify the struggle, for it is not
merely a war between Fascism and
Communism, but also between staunch
Catholics, who cling fearfully to their
religion, and the callous members’ of
the government, who insist on killing
nuns and priests.



Second Varsity Hockey Team, Succeeds
In Tying Blacks and Mannheim, 2-2



October 19.—The Second Varsity
hockey team remained undefeated in
the second game of the season against
the Blacks and Mannheim, but the
final score, 2-2, was far from satis-
fying.

There was nothing spectacular
about any of the play during the
afternoon. Bryn -Mawr held its own
throughout ‘the first period, keeping
the ball around the fifty-yard line
most of the time, except when it was
rushed down the field and into the
goal. The score was chalked up to

| Carpenter. , The score at the erfd of

the half was still 1-0 in our favor.

In the second ‘period, after another
goal by Carpenter, the Blacks held
the ball down in our territory. Bryn

‘Mawr’s “defense was good, but it

failed to connect with the forwards
who waited outside the goal circle
for the ball to be sent to them. The
opposing forward line was much
faster than our own, not only in
passes, but also in tackling. They
took advantage of their strategic
position in front of the goal by using
quick, hard passes among themselves.
They also supplemented these by
good stick-work which insured per-

fect control of the ball, something
that Bryn Mawr seemed to lack.

. Philosopher Must Base
Science Metaphysically



Continued from Page One

all theories of knowledge which the
technical scientific theory confirms and
exemplifies.” The method of research
is this: “one analyzes a new scientific
theory to determine its basic concepts
and relations, which may immedi-
ately exemplify a more general meta-
physical theory, or one analyzes the
method by which the basic concepts
were derived from what is immedi-
ately given in experience to determine
their possible objective validity and
their status in e knowing process,
thereby establishing~a definite theory
of knowledge from which=the meta-
physics involved can be determined.”

Through this general metaphysics
which all branches of knowledge
share, all knowledge is related. It is
the common denominator in terms of
which alone one science can basically
affect another. For this reason Gali-
lei’s and Newton’s physics did not
immediately cause a new development
in social sciences, and for this reason
the social sciences, psychology, . poli-
tics, and economics were altered as
soon as Descartes, Spinoza, Hume
and Kant had translated the physici-
cists’ discoveries into metaphysical
‘ concepts. That the reverse of this
process might occur: that from the
social sciences the new facts might
arise which would change metaphy-
sics and consequently the exact sci-
ences, is-not impossible, but it is un-
likely. For the subjective nature of
these sciences makes “the task of dis-
tinguishing between fact and the in-
terpretation of fact exceedingly diffi-
cult.” In economics and polities bel
jective data may be secured, but it is
always more controversial than
mathematical or physical data.

losophers of the seventeenth century
obtained when they applied the method

Preceding the political rally on O¢-
tober 27, the Industrial Group will
meet at supper in;the Common Room.

above explained to science, indicates
that the philosophy of science can suc-
ceed today. So too do contemporary
scientific discoveries that already
throw light on metaphysical problems.
The theory of relativity, by rejecting
absolute space, merging spacial struc-
ture with temporal order, and regard-
ing the four-dimensional structure
which results not as independent of
matter but its very guiding princi-
ple, has brought science ‘face to face
with the old question of the relation
between matter and form. The dis-
covery of contradictions in the foun-
dations of mathematics has brought
up the eternal riddle of the one and
the many.

Since, therefore, there is a need, a
method, and indications of success for
investigation in the philosophy of. sci-
ence, a full-time program of research
is justified. There\ should be an
academy. like Piatots \dcadeny, over
the door of which should be written,
“Only those interested in the sci-
ences of our time need enter here.”

contest and a six months’ job on
Vogue’s editorial staff, eleven sen-
iors have already decided to enter.

The contest consists of a series of
six quizzes starting the first of No-
vember, and continuing throughout
the winter, and ends with a thesis
on a general fashion subject, due the
twentieth of April. The editors of
Vogue are the judges and the contest
is really a preliminary course in
fashion writing.

The winner is awarded a trip to

Current Events





The campaign is now progressing in
the west, with the Republicans count-
ing on the issues of dictatorship, the
doctrine of scarcity and the argument
of extravagance to swing the election
in their favor.

Roosevelt is calling it a double-face
campaign because it is impossible to
raise prices for the benefit of the
farmer in the west and lower them for
the benefit of the consumer: in the
east, as the Republicans have been
promising. The President challenged
business men at Chicago to deny that
they are better off now than under
Republican. leadership. Landon, how-
ever, retorts that they would have
been 100. per cent better off without
Roosevelt. So the exchange of words
goes on.

The Supreme Court, in declaring
New York’s minimum wage law for
women unconstitutional, created a no-
man’s land in which neither govern-
ment nor state can operate. If the
Supreme Court wishes to do so, it
may reverse its opinion in deciding
the constitutionality of the minimum
wage law of Washington state now
pending before the court.

Russia makes a more aggressive
stand in the Spanish situation. The
Soviet Union charges Italy, Germany
and Portugal with intervention, and
this is a delicate situation, since the
Soviet Union regards the Spanish con-
flict as directly involving all the la-
boring people of the whole world. If





anon ih cei Ty ea



intervention does not stop, will Rus-
sia help the government of Madrid?

Belgium hints at’ withdrawal from
the Locarno pact/and the League for
she fears the recurrence of the 1914
incidents. In/case of'a Franco-Russo-
German war, Belgium would have no
interest, yet fears she might be in-
volved by her pacts.

THE COLLEGE NEWS













Book Review

_ Inside Europe, by John Gunther
(Harper Brothers, $3.50).

A great many Bryn Mawr students
made the discovery this summer of a
very exciting book written by a Chi-
cago Daily News reporter about the
political sityation in Europe during
the last year. Although the book was
published in January, 1936, those who
read it early this fall found that the
revisions which have recently beén
made in the text, and the very compe-
tent summary which has been added
in the form of an introduction, bring
the contents almost up to date.
Those who feel that their attention
has been too completely engrossed re-
cently with the domestic political situ-
ation, and. that a knowledge of con-
ditions abroad hélps to clarify their
opinions about the party platforms of
our Presidential campaign, have
found Mr. Gunther’s book extremely
interesting and valuable.

Although Inside Europe is written
in a very’ vital style, and although
from the point of view of general ap-
peal the book must certainly be classi-
fied as a popular work, it is by no
means an: oversimplified presentation
of the problems of the European
nations. Mr. Gunther does not try to
offer any solution to these problems,

nor does he give his own opinion too
often or too obviously as to events
of the future... His work is straight

news reporting, as unbiased, ungar-
nished and complete as the everyday
dispatches to world newspapers that

stand.

Inside Europe is about as long as
the average novel, that is, about 200,-
000 words. It covers every European
country, beginning with seven chap-
ters. on Nazi ‘Germany and ending
with one chapter on all of the minor
Balkan principalities. Mr. Gunther
discusses the personalities of the na-
tional leaders, be they dictators or
cabinet members. He quotes the
opinion of leading European psychol-
ogists about their mental quirks¢ in-
telligence, prejudices and habits of
mind. He explains the internal poli-
tics of the countries, defines the dif-
ferent parties as far as possible, and
finally clarifies their extremely im-
portant relationship to other nations.

Although it is perfectly plain to the
average semi- well-informed reader
that Mr. Gunther is a liberal of some
sort, he never allows his personal po-

extent of making his work seem either
markedly pessimistic or optimistic.
