Naturalistic Theory
Refuted in Lecture

Presented by Kohler

March



Common Room, L—

Gestalt Psychologist, pointed out
in his lecture, The Naturalistic In-
terpretation of Man. If philoso-

phy would only abate its claims |
that man is a supernatural being, '
and if science would ta&e a more.
catholic and flexible view of na- | ;
ture, he believes their respective |

duties could be reconciled.

Dr. Kohler said, lies in-the struc-
ture of the brain“as corresponding
to the structure of. the perceived

world, and in the recognition that '

there is an ideal of “fittingness”
that controls all natural activity,
human and sub-human.

Dr. Kohler discussed various in-
terpretations of man with particu- |
lar reference to the present “era |
of gloom.” The Agnosticism and ,
Relativism of today are the out- |
come of the old theory of Positiv- |
ism, he said. The gloom of the |
present he blames on the natural- |
istic interpretation of man. This
interpretation argues that man, as
any other natural being, is evolved
from nature, and that the mind of
man is no marvel, but simply a
natural product of evolution.

The theory of evolution has no
effect on the human mind, Dr.
Kohler insisted. It can no more
change the qualities of the human
mind than it can change the laws
of physics and chemistry. The
natural interpretation of man will
“act as a Trojan Horse in our
midst and destroy all ambition in
the younger generation.”

Dr. Kohler used an illustrative
dialogue to expound the various
ideas which have been proposed to
solve the serious problem of build-
ing a bridge between man and
nature.

Tappen Makes Plans
As Undergrad Head

Kay Tappen was the last per-
son on campus to hear that she
was the new president of the Un-
dergraduate Association. The
news had scarcely reached her be-
fore-she was bombarded with ques- |
tions concerning her “policy for
next year.

“T have no platform at all. .
only the steps,” said Kay, not com-
mitting herself to any definite
stand. She continued to say that
she was especially interested in
getting the duties of the Under-
graduate Association: clearly de-
fined, and in this connection men-
tioned the new six-head council. -

Kay confesses that her highest
personal ambition is ‘“‘to be able to
sing all day without getting a sore
throat.” Known all over the
campus for her second alto voice,
she is particularly remembered for
her rendition as the policeman in
Gilbert and Sullivan’s Pirates of
Penzance, in 1941.

A psychology major, Kay spends
much of her time in lab, and is “a
chain smoker in times of great
stress only.”

‘a “return to the strength and vigor

Entered as second-class matter at the Wayne, Pa., Post Office





Reserve Room

¢

The failure of students to obey rutes concerning the removal

of books from the reserve room has caused a critical situation.

It

has prevented other students from adequately preparing their work

and will result in lowering of the academic standard at exam time.

The present system provides no sufficient record of books and

therefore has not checked these violations.

Students must realize the selfishness of their acts when they
take a. book without signing for it and prevent others from using it.
If student pressure cannot impress this upon them, the only solu-
tion to the problem is to institute a stricter system. This would be
a closed system in which the removal and return of a book is under

close supervision of a librarian.

This would give an exact check

on the whereabouts of every book.
A slow and complicated closed system in the reserve room

would certainly be undesirable after the simple, present one.

If

the students refuse to cooperate and prove that the present system
can be a successful one, the library staff is willing to consider re-
vising it at the suggestion of the students.

”





WOT NOT





Students have been wondering
what has happened to the request
of the undergraduates for unlim-
ited cuts. As nothing since has
been heard from the Faculty Cur-
riculum Committee, we set out to
gather opinion on the subject.

A letter from the undergradu-
ate Curriculum Committee to the
Faculty Committee advocated un-
limited cuts in all except first-year
courses. They put forth as a rea-
son the inefficiency, inaccuracy and
expense of the present monitoring
system.

A member of the faculty, Mr.
Wells, pointed out that unlimited
cuts would undoubtedly involve
limitation of weekends. Mrs.
Manning, holding the same view,
mentioned that other colleges have
tried it and that the connection is
inescapable: unlimited cuts neces-
sitate a limitation on overnight ab-
sences. She feels that although the
present system is not an ideal way
of dealing with cuts, it is impor-
tant to have some. check for the
benefit of those who cannot cope
with their work if they cut as
much as they like. To have many
of the students “suppose they can
do it would be leading most of
them to perdition.”

The student viewpoint, on the
other hand, seems to be almost en-
tirely in favor-of unlimited cuts,
although nearly 100% of those
who hold this view admit that
some regulation of first year
courses and required courses is
necessary. The student attitude
ranged all the way from the vio-
lent opinion that the present sys-
tem is “ridiculous and childish” to

a modified qualification that. un-
a



limited cuts “would be nice, if pos-
sible.” The first reaction was
usually a spontaneous outburst of
assent to the idea, but a great
many wavered as the difficulties
were brought up one by one. Near-
ly all would infinitely prefer un-
limited weekends if it came to a
choice. One suggestion for making
the unlimited system possible was
to have more quizzes to keep work
from sliding, requiring each stu-
dent to maintain a certain aver-
age in order to have unlimited
cuts. Those not successful in this
could be held responsible for sign-
ing a slip in class, thus doing!
away with monitoring.

Many feel that undergraduates
are mature enough to have more
independence than the present sys-
tem allows. A number insist that
it would ‘be ible to have both
unlimited cuts and unlimited week-
ends because students would be
more conscientious if held respon-
sible themselves rather’ than
forced into it.



OPINION

Manning Corrects Editorial:
War Jobs Need Social
Science Majors







To the Editor of the College News:

In your editorial on New Majors
in the last number of the News
you state that until recently only
the science departments have pre-
pared girls for important war jobs.
While it is true that only the sci-
ence departments have given new

‘courses, for this purpose it is quite

wrong to suppose that the students
majoring in the social sciences
have not prepared themselves for
jobs in Washington as important
as those for which the special sci-
ence courses are a _ preparation.
As a matter of fact, the demand
for well trained economics majors
in the Washington departments is
so great that the women’s colleges
cannot begin to meet it. Most of
last year’s economics majors were
placed almost before they took
their AB degrees. There is now
an almost equal demand for ABs
who have been trained in history,
politics, or sociology. The office of
Strategic Services sent one of its
research board to all the women’s
colleges in February, looking for
possible recruits. Incidentally, one
of the qualifications for work in
his office and in many other offices
in Washington is a really good
knowledge of German, French, or
Italian. Needless to say, a knowl-
edge of Russian has a scarcity
value all its own.

I am writing this letter to cor-

fare what I fear may be a very

Those in favor of the status quo

Sincerity of Dali Questioned
In Surrealist’s Treatment

Of Own Life



By April Oursler, ’45

Salvador Dali is an amazing
man. His new book, The Secret
Life of Salvador Dali is even more
amazing. It is impossible to tell
where truth meets falsehood in the
book, or where Dali is just bluffing.
The bogk as a whole is an uncanny
mixture of greatness and small-
ness In its smallness it is over-
fantastic, fe en un-
necessarily horrible. In its great-
ness it is a hymn to the power of
the human spirit rising above the
animal side of man’s nature.

Much of the book must be taken
with a large grain of salt. Not
that Dali underestimates the
world-shaking significance of his
work, he merely feels it is natural
that he become impatient with the
slow, conventional minds of soci-
ety. One of his pet projects, still
unperpetrated, is to bake a fif-
teen-metre loaf of bread and place
it in the center of Paris with great
secrecy, waiting with indescrib-
able glee for all the uninspired
populace to go wild trying to ex-
plain the mysterious appearance
of this bread. As loaf after loaf,
appeared in all the capitals of
Europe, he alone would know the
true secret of the illogical splen-
dor of the trick. The whole world



would be wondering, but he alone
would know
Dali is one of the most openly

egocentric of all men; he abhors ~

modesty of any sort, and admits it
with great pride and pleasure.
Describing’ his childhood he says,
“IT was the backward, anarchistic,
polymorphous, perverse :
Everything modified me, novhing
changed me the colloidal
environment of my mind was to
find the unique and inquisitorial
rigor of Spanish thought, the def-
initive form of the bloody, jesuiti-
cal, and aborescent agates of my
curious genius.” The curious
genius is so wrapped up in unin-
hibited desires and pleasures that
it becomes almost unacceptable to
the inhibited, conventional mind of
the world around him.

In spite of all this, Dali is great.
His paintings are magnificent,
symbolic and_ revolutionary, a
great example of his main conten-
tion—that man’s soul can . rise
above .the animal side of his na-
ture to show the true superiority
of man to the rest of the animals.
Dali is one of the most animal of
so-called civilized men, and he is a
genius, by most standards of art.
If Dali could write with the per-
spicacious selection and constant
genius of his paintings, his book
would have been a masterpiece. It
is still an overpoweringly impor-
tant book.

Common Room, March 9.—The
position of our diplomats in rela-
tion to American Foreign Policy
and particularly that of Admiral
Stanley, was the subject of Miss
Reid’s lecture in Current Events

this week. All diplomats, she said,
are forced to make quick judg-
ments now, some even without the
authorization of the home govern-
ment. These decisions vary with
the personality of the representa-
tive who is primarily the “eyes
and ears of the Department of
State.” His function is not. to de-
termine policy.

There has been a recent turmoil
over radio reports of a speech
made by Admiral Stanley, popular

| According to these reports he call-
ed a conference and in a dramatic
interview, Miss Reid- explained, he

Russian government maintains be-
fore its own people and the rest of
the world that she is fighting the
war alone. There has been no
mention of Allied help. It must
be noted, stated Miss Reid, that
Russia has played her own game |
from the beginning of this war.
She has avoided round-table dis- |
cussions. The real issue which!
Admiral Stanley has just forced,
concerns the tendency of the: Rus- |
sian government to deprecate or
forget all outside assistance. She:

{



has instead voiced long criticism of
the,failure to set up a second front.

The reasons for Admiral Stan-
ley’s recent statement are not
clear. His career has provided
him with good diplomatic experi-
ence, and from the early days he
has urged united action and our
entrance into the war. Judging
from his character and career,
Miss Reid guessed that he had
sensed the growing distrust and
tension and wanted to bring it into
the open. Mr. Cordell Hull imme-
diately denied State Department
responsibility-.for Admiral Stan-
ley’s interview. Miss Reid men-
tioned the possibility that he may
be recalled if the Russians resent
it too much. Its veracity, however,
has not yet been established; and
if he did make it there is another
possibility that he had an under-
standing with -the Department.

THE ALLIANCE

Now more than ever it is neces-



sary that we have an intelligent
understanding of the Americans

south of the Rio Grande and that
we know how their Republics are
cooperating in winning the war.
To promote friendship and this un-
derstanding, the Office of Inter
American Affairs is holding a na-
tional discussion contest.

At Bryn Mawr the contest is
being sponsored by the War Alli-
ance, which asks that all those in-
terested prepare a written speech
of no more than 1000 words on
“How the American Republics are
cooperating in winning the war.”
The manuscripts of these speeches
must be submitted to’ the Bryn
Mawr judges (Miss. Reed,’ Dr.
Asensio, and Miss Henderson) by
March 24. If the winner of the
Bryn Mawr contest is also winner
of the Regional contest to be held
in Columbus, Ohio, she will receive
a summer trip to Mexico (all ex-
penses paid). She will also at-
tend the National Finals to be
held on May 20 in New York City
and a radio broadcast of the “Town
Meeting of the Air” program. For
all those interested, further de-
tails and a bibliography may be
had from either Betty Nicrosi or

Farm Work Project



The Physical Education Depart-
ment has recently been of a rural |
turn of mind, with plans for a
farm project well under way. By
next week a definite program will
be announced to the College. The
idea of training women in a trac-
tor school for less strenuous farm
tasks was suggested by Mr. James
Watson of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture and representative
of Agriculture in the employment
field.

Miss Petts is very anxious to
have such a school at Bryn Mawr,
for at present college women can
offer only untrained _ service.
“There is going to be a tremend-
ous demandefor college women on
farms this summer,” she stated.
A Manager of Farming would be
elected to the Athletic Association
to conduct this new activity. Work-
ing in close cooperation with Miss
Petts, she would correspond to the
managers of other sports.

The Volunteer Land Corps -has
organized several methods for do-

Dramatic Clubs Plan
Saroyan Production,

‘The Beautiful People’

“Some people may. think The



Beautiful People a screwy play |

about mice, but it really has philo-
sophical significance and dramatic
quality,” says Anne Denny, direc-
tor of Bryn Mawr and Haverford’s
forthcoming production of this
play.

. Typical of Saroyan in every re-
spect, The Beautiful People con-
cerns itself with the attitude which
a father has given his children
toward life, and whether his train-
ing has prepared them for life, in
the. real sense. An especially in-
teresting angle on life is symbolic-
ally shown in the character of the
young girl who has trained the
mice of the household tty worship
her. *

The two leading roies, Agnes
Webster, a saint, and Jonah Web-
ster, a father, are played by Elea-
nor Borden, ’46, and James Haden.
Although this is Eleanor’s first
stage rendition of this part, she
has performed it twice over the
-radio. James is known for his
great success in Stage Door.

Judy Novick, who starred this
year in the Freshman Show, is
playing the only other female role,
that of Harmony Blueblossom, a
little old lady in the summertime.
Owen Webster, a poet, scientist,
son and brother, is played by Ia-
vid Mallery.

Other characters are Edward
Irving, the Tom Ames of Hotel
Universe, and Dan Hillboy, a good
companion; Henry Funk as Wil-

fection prominent as a result of re-
cent Russian successes.

In Italy, the most important -
feature of Fascism is the position
of the Duce and his dictatorial
powers. Mussolini, at first a ‘“ren-
egade socialist” heading a regime
wighout any ideology, is now “The
center of Fascist propaganda in
the army, in the schools; in every
walk of civilian life.’ His doc-
trine, Miss Taylor said, included
one of the most characteristic fea-
tures of Fascism, “the identity of.
party and state.” Attempting to

renew the glory of ancient Rome,

Mussolini insisted on the need for
expansion; interpreted glorifica-
tion of war ag Roman-made efforts
to raise the birth rate.

“The establishment of the Nazi
party in control:of the state has
been more thorough-going in Ger-
many than in- Italy,” said Miss
Taylor. The idea of organizing all
the life in terms of the state and
the party has gone much further.
Nazi_ideology differs from Fascism
in that it has one central doctrine

Continued from Page Five
—the idea of race. With -refer-

ences to Mein Kampf, Miss Taylor
explained Hitler’s philosophy; his
breeding of a superior race, the
idea of blood and soil, the German
right to Lebensraum.

“Japan has always had a dual
system of organization in politics,
civilian and military,’ with the |
military now supreme, she contin-
ued. All political parties have
been dissolved and the organiza-
tion of the state is now thoroughly
totalitarian. The emperor, seen
as a ruler of divine descent, pro-
vided the necessary leader. Myth-
ology from eighth century books is
used to interpret the present war
in terms of Japan’s divine mission.
“The alliance with Japan,’ Miss
Taylor noted, “has led to an ex-
tension of propaganda which now
speaks of a new world order as
well as a new order in Europe.” |



Bryn Mawr and Penn
Tie Swift-Fire Game



University of | Pennsylvania,
March 6.— Matching each other
point for point, the Bryn Mawr
and Penn basketball teams ended
their game in a draw, each scoring
42 points.

Penn tied the score with four
minutes left to play. Fighting
desparately for possession of the
ball, both teams tried to shoot the
tie-breaking basket. .As the min-
utes passed, the tempo increased
until it reached a terrific pace. But
each team’s defense proved too
strong for the on-rush of the for-
wards and the winning basket was
never made.

Penn’s very aggressive forwards
used tricky, well-timed passwork
to rush the basket. When hard
pressed by the Owl guards and
passing became impossible, the
Maroon team continued to toss in
baskets from the edge of the court.

Bryn Mawr’s. scoring came
spasmodically. The Owls hit their)
stride in the second quarter. Again
in the fourth they came back with
a long string of baskets, shooting
one almost every minute.

Holding what looked like a bas-
ket-shooting festival in the second
half of their game, the Reserves
trounced Penn’s npg” sig 36-23. |
