Library a few of the faculty are hold-

they march through the commence-

do some serious work. Mr. Samuel
Chew, professor of English, is dfiving
to California with his wife where he
will stay until the second semester of
next year on sabbatical leave. Mr.
Stephen Herben, also of the English
department, and Miss Caroline: Rob-

are sailing for England. They plan
to: work in the British Museum on
their respective subjects.
Mr. Charles Fenwick, professor of
political science, is staying in Bryn
Mawr. during June to work on his
book, The Foreign Policy of the
United States. On the side he will}
also lecture at an Institute of Inter-
national Relations in Lafayette Uni-
versity. In July Mr. Fenwick has
been invited to attend a conference at
Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss a con-
structive program for meeting the

in August,.he will give a further
series of lectures at another Institute

The Latin department is perhaps
the most ambitious of all. Miss Lily

Goodhart, June 4e—Preaching the
Baccalaureate Sermon at the close of
the 54th academic year, Dean Willard
L. Sperry, of the Harvard Divinity,
took as his text, “Let me never be

Dean Sperry déscribed the prob-
lems of courage which confront the

ventions. There are three kinds of
The first is to dare, to act
in bad form, the second to be reticent
and unblatant, and the last to have

of life in another culture is held up
by mental detours, which have had

which have been washed out. And
every attempt to translate the life of

Deliberate acts of honest imagination
are required for such translation. : It

am asking you to think, as appropri-|-

familiar words from the Bible, ‘Let

After the whitewashing effusions
on the subject of sweet girl gradu-
ates current in our earliest youth, it
was a relief to find that the 1939
yearbook presented the seniors in the
normal atmosphere of college life. It
deserves applause for its effort to
record people with their personali-
ties “en deshabille” as well as stream-
lined by the average portrait photo,
and because it makes an excellent
vehicle for the inevitable college gos-
sip that is an intrinsic part of every
yearbook. Unlike the college movie,
its first cousin, the Yearbook was not
created for the mothers of \incoming

GRACE BELLE DOLOWITZ |
WINNER PLANS
FUTURE CAREER
IN EDUCATION
Grace Dolowitz, winner_of the Eu-
ropean Fellowship, has aiways lived
in New York though by chance -she
was born in Long Branch, New Jer-
sey, where her family were spending
their summer vacation. A major in
French, she is also interested in
music and writing though she insists
that both of these pursuits are merely
for her ‘own pleasure. In college her
average has stayed consistently above
90 except in the second semester of
freshman year when it dropped to a
mere 89.
Miss Dolowitz graduated from the
Packer Institute in Brooklyn where
she was humor editor of the magazine
and actress in many of the school
plays. Her interest in French be-
gan at home, however, because her
mother disapproved of high school
language teaching methods and em-
ployed a French governess and French
maids to bring up the children. Fresh-
man year she planned to major in
English, but the required English
course changed her ,mind.
In her junior year, Miss Dolowitz
studied in Tours and Paris with four
other:Bryn Mawr French majors as
members of the Delaware Group. Her
work for the Sorbonne diplome con-
sisted chiefly of a. long paper on
Marcel. Proust’s Idea “of Happiness.
Campus Flooded by Commenting Alumnae,
Reunion “Marked by Continuous Festivity
Eleven classes, ranging from 1889
to 1938,-have been actively visiting
the college during the past week. The
reunion was opened on Saturday after-
noon by the annual meeting of the
Alumnae Association. Plans for pic-
nics, suppers, teas and other activities
were made afterwards by the indi-
vidual classes.
‘As usual, the reunions were planned
~s0 that the groups who returned. had
been in college simultaneously. The
group of twelve 1889ers who made
their headquarters in the Blue Room
at the Deanery was an exception,
“however, as they were ‘celebrating
‘their fiftieth anniversary.
It has always been a matter. for
speculation that the alumnae who used

in and year out that they would never

The one given Saturday was’a repeat
performance, with an altered cast,
slightly inferior” only from want of
rehearsals,- and’ a more appropriate
setting. Adam was played by Fannie
Woods, Eve ‘by Helen Converse
Thorpe. There were Archangels, An-
gels, Imps and Satans in the cast
and a very capable and mellow chorus.
The stage effects included false mus-
taches, Herald Tribune angel wing$,
and writhing coils of ivy. 5
An* encounter with some members
of the class of 1901 proved enlight-
ening. When asked her opinion of
Rhoads, one answered that ‘she
thought it was “very lovely, but if

On the side, she acted in L’Ecole des
Femmes, a production of the Group
which was attended by a great many|
bearded Sorbonne professors.
At Tours, Miss Dolowitz enjoyed the
bicycling, the chateaux, and the gen-
eral environs, but found the city dull.
Paris was much_petter; she lived
with a charming family and enjoyed
walking around the streets to see the
city. During Easter vacation some of
the Group toured vaguely around
Italy in a bus. “I thought Italy was
wonderful,” she said, “but maybe it
was just because I had finished my
Proust paper and needed the change.”
She found the French -a rather
serious race, though she had many
amusing experiences with them. One

MR. TAFT -ASSERTS
SPIRITUAL. VALUES
VITAL TO SECURITY
Goodhart Hall, June 7.—“I submit
that the effort in Russia to build a
state capitalism without belief in God
is what produces the cruelty to man
and the disregard of personality that
most observers report,” stated Charles
Phelps Taft, LL.D., in his address to
the graduating class of 1939. Mr.
Taft discussed aspects of the search
for security today, developing his
opinion that spiritual values stand
before simple economic safety in the
individual’s search for security.
The ChristiaA religion as preached!
by Christ, and later the Puritans and |
Methodists, has emphasized the worth |
and equality of every. man before
God, and, said Mr. Taft, “democracy
can only exist while we look on each
man, woman, and. child as a_ person,
|who in some degree can make ‘his
contribution to the common good.
Each must have a life to lead, his
own, not eo else’s plan for
him.”
In answer to the often posed ques-

Of Bachelor of Arts .

10 Doctors of Philosophy
Conferreal
Goodhart, June 7.—Closing the 54th
academic year, Miss Park announced
the selection of Grace Dolowitz as the
year. The Bachelor of Arts degree
was received by 92-members of “the
graduating’ class, 7 magna cum laude
and ™ laude. To graduate. stu-
dents at Bryn Mawr 35 doctorates
and Master’s degrees were awarded.
As the announcement was made,
Miss Dolowitz, who was graduated
summa cum laude, with distinction in
French, rose to take her place on the
platform with the other scholars and
fellows of Bryn Mawr.
Irish, graduated magna cum laude,
with distinction in physics, was named
as alternate for the fellowship.
To Miss Irish also went one of the
two new awards announced by MiSs
Park, the Charlotte Angas Scott Prize
in Mathematics. This prize, given
ee memory of former Professor Char-
lotte*Scott, js awarded by the head of
senior majoring in mathematics whose
work has shown “diligence, intelli-
tion: “Is the religion of Christ rele-! gence and promise.”
vant today?” Mr. Taft concluded his
address to the class of 1939. He said’
that the Christian religion is a “gos-
pel of perfection, perfection in your
own life, and perfection for your com-
munity from class to world stage.
If you look at that glorious teach-
ing as a vision to achieve, a plan to
work on, a goal and purpose or your
own life—not as a set of laws or a
moral code—it has a fascination that
is deathless Arom generation to gen-
eration.”
Overemphasis on Economic Values
“Don’t think I am attacking the
ideal of the full dinner pail and the
solid house. Neither am I suggest-
ing that we abandon the attempt to
solve economic problems—I simply
raise the question of whether we do
not need some other standard of val-
ues while we push along the_ high-
way.
“Very likely you may suggest that
of course you believe in religion and
spiritual values, but ‘that they can-
not live in the slums and on relief
and in sweat shops. Therefore, -you
say, we must first attack these in-
equalities and injustices. It is to
some degree a matter of: emphasis,

Senior Sirvey. Shows Six Biides To Be,
Majoaiey: Plan Summer of Recuperation
Before the seniors cease to be nor-
mal individuals and enter the odd re-
mote worlds of graduates and alum-
nae, we thought some statistics, as to
plans, marriage, and majors, would
appeal to their public.
Out of the 82 seniors interviewed
over 50 are going to spend the sum-
mer in “relaxing hard.” But ap-
parently some few hardy individuals
still have ‘energy despite comprehen-
sives. . Jean Morrill (an English
major) will be doing settlement wok
in St. Louis, Agnes Spenter (eco-
nomics) hopes to he with some trade
unign, Sarah “Meigs (history. of art)

cial economy majors) are to work

Geneva and Elizabeth Aiken (eco-
nomics) is an assistant at the Hudson
Shore Labor School. Besides this

small group who plan to spend
summer in learning how to cagk.
‘Befo bothering with the winter
one particular group deserves a very
special and careful analysis—the six
that admit they are marrying this
summer and the one that is doubtful
yet says “probably this summer.”
What are the characteristics of this
group? Their majors: Biddle and
Ann Rauch, philosophy, Denise Debry
and Ruth Stoddard, chemistry; Alys

LIBRARY WING
Behind the neat green fence in back
of the cloister where the new library
forestration is going on clandestinely
under the superintendence of James
B. Logan. Like lumberjacks, the
workmen are sawing down aged
campus trees, though they are leav-
ing the vines untouched until gradua-
tion ‘ceremonies... The wing. was..de-
signed by Thomas and Martin, and
is to be constructed by Townsend,
Schroeder and ‘Wood.
After a look at the blue prints, it
is almost impossible to give a verbal,
account of their complications. The
wing itself will be U-shaped, 40 feet
long at each end, and 26 feet long
in the center. The central area is
filled by a flagstone terrace, with
entrances in either wing.
The left arm of the U, looking up
from Goodhart, will be made into
offices, chiefly for the department of
Education. The central part is taken
up by a stackroom of the same design
as the main building, with a gallery
and_ offices. for-the Archeology and
Art.departments above. The right
arm of the U contains the immense
Quita Woodward memorial reading
room. The basement will be illumi-
nated by: a light well, happily for
those who are accustomed to hibernate
in the old stacks.
Mr. Logan, a red-headéd, blue-eyed,
pipe-smoking Scotchman, and the most
pleasant superintendent yet to build
on campus, agreed that the plan was
difficult for the layman to under-
stand. He was reassuring, .however,

in itself filled 20 pages, and may be
divided into three general classes:

will be eut in ‘its native ‘state; blue-
stone from Genesee Valley, Tenn., cut
in Philadelphia; and granite, locale
and place of cutting unnamed. All
stone will be scrubbed With soap and
water after construction to remove
dirt acquired in transit.
Hand-rails are “clear white birch,
door frames and trim of metal. White
pine shelves, and veneered white oa
doors were also listed. And then
followed a sentence which baffled the
reporter, quoted herein full. “Crick-
ets or gypsum slab will be formed
by the contractor who will lay the
material” Gypsum may be all right,
but there has been a cricket on the
Rhoads hearth all year, and we fore-
see no good to come of it.
When asked why the aloofness of
the néw ,green fence, Mr. Logan has-
tened to explain that snootiness was
not his motive. It-is necessary in
construction jobs to enclose a definite
area within which building ymaterials
will be dumped by deliverers. “Other-
wise,” aia said with a horrified he
pression, “ye might be getting a load
of gravel on the Deanery garden.”

“Merion was born ugly and it always

“Now, Martha,” interceded the sec-

it’s just tradition.”
“Well, Merion’s the oldest hall land

never change.”
“I lived in Radnor for two years,”
said the third alumna, “and I’ve spent
the last two days trying to find my
room. It just isn’t there.” —
Besides the “unique atrocity” critics
ot the showcase there were those who
thought it looked “as if Merion were
packing up to move out and coulgdn’t
find a place to go.” “A little more
frivolity might help. They’ve made
it too prim and stagey.”
One of the most astute comments
heards was,,“The college has improved
since I was here. It’s so nice to have
mail boxes. But I don’t think you
have, improved Taylor by stripping it.

The alumnae were greatly inter-

We have no reason to be ashamed ,
when we read and believe the Sermon |
need,
or. the Mount. Many present facts |
may be against it, but ‘the end is not |
yet,’ therefore ‘Let me _ never ‘be
ashamed.’ ”’ .
Old Testament) Interpretation |
Turning from the New. to the Old!
Testament, the word ashamed takes|
on a more primitive and powerful |
meaning. The Hebrew of the Old!
Testament has very few abstract |
nouns. That is why its style is so
‘powerful. It is written almost com-|
pletely in verbal words, which signify |
«either being or action. The word
ashamed has two different meanings |
—one, “to turn red, to blush”; the|
other, “to turn white, to blanch, to’!
be suddenly afraid.”
“IT should like to take those two
meanings in their most literal sense
as being peculiarly appropriate to the
whole problem of character and con-
duct in the kind of world with which
today we are confronted.
' Exhibitionism Lacks Strength
““Let me never turn red.’ With!
the physical connotations_of-the-idea
of shame few-ec> us are seriously
concerned. But in this instance, as
in_ many. others, the content of the |
word has been transferred from body |
to mind, There is, in the world of
thought and in the’ world of the
spirit at large, such a thing as a)
proper reticence. To expose the whole!
ot the. inner) life is to run the risk |:
of losing it. There is an indecent
nakedness of the mind and heart, a’
perverse and perverted exhibitionism |
from which we may properly pray
to be delivered. It is prompted by.
a sense of insecurity and ends in still
greater, weakness. There is no|
strength in it.
‘“T have said these things because
we have been passing through, in re-
cent years, an extraordinarily unreti-
cent period in the world’s history.
The very_ noise of many voices beat--
-ing in-our ears is a sign of the world’s
awareness of its own weakness. .
« “This is a gee of mental and

of your conduct. In the midst of a —
‘world of political and religiéus ex-
hibitionists there is a neglected case
for the ancient and inscrutable reti-
'cence of all the great religions of the
world. One may devoutly hope that
one will nevéy have cause to turn red
because the world has been showed
all one’s inward treasures.
“The other of the ancient meanings
of the text, though less familiar, is. “
perhaps even more timely, “Let me
never blanch, let me never suddenly 7
turn white.’ There are certain plati-
tudes which hay¢ attended modern —
liberalism, both political and religious,
which Seem to have been in advance
of the facts and*now to need recon-
sideration. One of these platitudes Ԥ
has beén the statement that there is
no longer anything to be afraid of
in life.
Fearing Attitude of Modern Youth.
“We can never understand the
mind of the youth-of Europe unless
we realize that it is haunted by fear
—a naked dread of what yet may -
happen. We in America, simply by |
|virtue of geography rather than by
virtue of any superior excellence of
character, whether Christian or demo- _
cratic, are spared the worst forms
But even here a
sense of uneasiness and insecurity is
abroad. The world is in process of
drastic change, and we are involved
in that. transition. We have no ad-
Posat assurance: of any personal or
professional security. There is, I
ithink, little: doubt that Yeur genera-
tion is having to live through one of — 1
those dark nights in human history.
Leamiog Useless Without Courage
“Well, so long as we are invaded
by the premonition that life may con-
front us with experiences in which
we might turn white, religion has yet —
to do in us its perfect work. There
are times when as human beings we.
are thrown back on our capacity for
courage. We must apply this cour- |
age and candour of the mind to the —
sciences of man, to history, to the
processes of society. Our subject mat- _
ter is fraught with danger for us. _
And yet if, as educated men and
women, We..are _intellectual-and moral
‘cowards in the face of the facts,
what good is our learning for our —
life? ‘For fear, said the ancient |
writer of the Wisdom of Solomon, ‘is
‘nothing else but a betraying of ches

Senioe Speeches Enlivened
by Marooned —
Geologist, Strip. Teaser and Gum Chewer
Friday, May 19. — Chewing con-
fidently on her wad of Wrigley’s best,
Margaret Otis, ’39, squinted into the
sun-and dropped a few pearls of wis-
dom from Taylor steps for the benefit
of the freshmen, sophomores, and
juniors. Miss Otis, sporting. a jun-
ior’s, gap and gown, seemed well aware
of her responsibilities in opening the
program of: senior’ speeches given
yearly on the last day of classes. She
helped along the less intelligent, or
moré sleepy, members of her audience
by giving them a careful outline of
everything she said. fhe
\“This is,” began Miss Otis, “a speech
for _speech’s_ sake.” Commenting
briefly on the meteoric rise of ‘her
class to college fame and their équally
rapid decline after Big May Day fes-
tivities (“we put everything in it and
we’ve not been the same_since’”) Miss
Otis spoke with fervor and emotion.
She pointed out that if they had been
permitted to try out for extra-curricu-
lar activities earlier they would have.
run the campus freshman year.
“TJ hope you realize this is-not the
last time I’ll stand on Taylor steps,”
concluded Miss Otis. “I'll, be back
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, al-
though my horrible gore won't
let me chew gum’in exams.’
Barbara Bigelow took up ‘the 139
saga at Dalton. Miss Bigelow spoke
feelingly of her encounters with the
geology department »which has’ played
a big part in her college career. Last
year Miss Bigelow roomed with Doro-
thea Heyl, a native of Easton, who
indirectly caused a riot on the spring
field trip of 1937-1938. While the
geology ‘bus was parked at the top of
a hill near Easton Miss Bigelow
thought it would be friendly to run
down and visit the Heyl family. Un-
fortunately when she returned the
geologists had left, and Miss Bigelow
was marooned on the highest point of
Easton with a-hammer (number 33).
A short while after she was rescued
by four-blushing Haverford students,
the auxiliary force of the field trip.
Miss Bigelow gaily told Mr. Watson
ies the group finally. reached the
bus that she’d gone to see her room-
mate’s family. He looked at her ad-
miringly and said “Miss Bigelow, if
‘that’s your story you stick to it.”
She-has. _
Less dramatic, ‘but hardly less
piquant were Mary Dimock’s*-experi-
ences with college athletics. Mantled
in a ’41 gym tunic and blazer which
she removed piece by piece Miss Di-
mock confessed that the most un;
happy moments of her life were those
dealing with the body. At finishing
school she got off to a bad,start when
ghe mistook a can of “what you wash
out the tub with” for bath powder.
Miss Dimock didn’t go into the de-
tails of this calamity for at the mo-
ment her head was caught in the
tunic and the struggle to free it made
her breathless.
Getting her second wind she de-
scribed the occasion on which she led
a group of folk dance enthusiasts
polking after her out the gym door.
Her original plan had been to escape
in seclusion. Miss Dimock and Miss
Grant have not. been really good
friends since.
At the library Doris Ray attempted
to encompass all the idiosyncrasies of
the building and its inmates in a few
short monologues and: anecdotes. She
spoke of the problems that have beset
her in this edifice for the last four
years, the breathy conversations be-
tween Miss Terrien and Mr. Sprague,
the absence of Latin trots( the Latin
department is generally using them),
and the impossibility of concentrating
in the magazine room where one is
distracted by articles on 1 the sex life
of a watermelon seed. In a moment
of desperation, Miss Ray admitted,
when she urgently felt the need to
scream, she went to the stacks and
found a philosophical justification for
noise, silence is gold, communists hate
gold, therefore, communists hate si-
lence. Miss Ray’s last bit of advice,
obviously taken from her personal ex-
perience, was “never hang a cowbell
on a professor’s chair.”

TENNIS TEAM WINS
BRYN MAWR PLACE
ON -FIRST LEAGUE}
Philmont, _June_1.—Putting Bryn
Mawr . into ‘the First League, the
Varsity Tennis Team defeated Phil-}
mont in the Challenge Round of the
Philadelphia Women’s Inter-Club
matches. The score was 7-0.
The first singles ‘and first doubles
were the: hardest fought matches. C.
Waples, ’42, playing No. 1 for Bryn
‘Mawr, defeated M. Silver, 5-7, 6-3,
6-3. The soft, steady game of the
Philmont player bothered Waples in
the first set, but she steadied her
game in the next two sets which she
won by her superior placing.
E. E. Lee, ’41,‘and B. Auchincloss,
40, played M. Silver and M. Katzen-
berg in the first doubles. The Bryn
Mawr team won the first set, 6-1, but
then both players lost control of their
net shots during the second set which
they lgst, 6-2. After losing the first
two games in the third set, they ral-
lied to win at 6-2. _

At~ Classical Brawl
Commén Room, May 18.—The gran-
deur that was Rome temporarily re-
vived at the party given for the Latin
department under the direction of
Doris Turrier, with Terry Ferrer as
mistress of ceremonies. As guests of |,
honor, Miss Taylor, Miss Tate, Miss
Lake, Miss Marti and the Broughtons,
all classically crowned with laurel,
watched a program of skits, songs, and
recitations, followed. by punch and
refreshments.
After’a general rendition of Gau-
deamus Igitur, a translation of Jab-
berwocky in Latin by Peggy Copeland,
and duets and solos by Terry Ferrer
and Camilla Riggs, the faculty were
asked for contributions. Miss Lake
read a parody of Greek drama, while
Miss Taylor showed how the News’
account of Mr. Watson’s rainy field-
trip would have sounded if an under-
graduate were translating it into
Latin. Miss Marti and Miss Tate ex-
plained that they ‘were unprepared.”
The faculty were then asked to com-
plete and to solve Doris Turner’s un-
finished mystery-story concerning the
loss of a comprehensive just before
After this, they

Virgilian eclogue for. Miss Lake and
Miss Taylor, recited by Hester Cor-
ner and Elizabeth Pope, while Helen
Garth played a flute.
Following ‘the old Roman custom,
dice were-thrown for the privilege of
mixing the punch, Mrs. Broughton
winning ‘with three aces. The rest
of the party was described simply in
the program as “wine, women, ‘and

‘|SCIENTISTS REVEL
IN LOCAL MEADOW
|Cow’s Diamond Thinned |
‘Enthusiastic Nines
~
By
May 31,—Seventy-five scientists con-
sisting of .undergraduates, graduates,
and faculty, ate and played baseball
in a local meadow on the annual sci-
ence club picnic. The diamond, which
had been deserted for the occasion by
the cows of Mr. Watson’s landlady,
was adequately trampled by. those
who did not prefer the coolness of the
brook.
The biologists yielded to the fas-
cination ,of the brook and made a
wading expedition after crayfish, with
success. A mixed group celebrated
the day of their last examination by
sitting» in the shade in quiet conver-
sation. Several of the geologists dis-
appeared altogether, and the coeds
were particularly missed _ on the base-
ball teams.
The teams, ohouen originally by
Tom Zirkle and Ray, Jr., were later
scrambled so that most of the usual
faculty team was on one side. The
resultant walkover was hardly —no-
ticed since everyone cheered and
booed everyone else with indiscrimi-
nate enthusiasm.
Coordination of the sciences pro-
duced excellent food; geologists find-
ing rocks to bolster the fire built. by
the physicists, and the biologists held
the crowd from the brook when the
water and lemonade gave out, until
more could be obtained.
three hits in the seventh to Seales the
final score 12-11.
Zirkle opened the faculty sixth with
a hard single and went to third on™
Lattimore’s one-bagger; Fleming
muffed Cap’n Cope’s easy grounder
to short to fill the bases. Then Sloan
lifted an easy fly to center field.
Dethier got her hands on the ball,
One run scored.
Catcher Milt Nahm hit one to the
same place. Dethier dropped that one.
too, and Lattimore came home. On
Broughton’s grounder to the pitcher,
with none out, Tykie Alexander
elected to play at first, and the win-
ning run scored. fter the damage
had been done,, Sloan was thrown out
‘at the plate, and Doyle popped out .
to the second baseman to end the
inning.
This. was_a more evenly played
contest than the first varsity-faculty
game: Rapid-fire Doyle chalked up
nine strike-outs, and Tykie Alexander
eight. There were about 16 errors
evenly divided between the teams.
What ultimately won the game: for
the faculty was their superior ability
to run bases. It was the same thing
that lost the varsity their game with '
Vassar. But to counterbalance this
advantage, the faculty was ~ weak
through ‘the middle. After Anderson
hadthrown the ball away .a few
times trying to get runners at second
and third, Nahm came in from the
picket line and replaced him behind
|the mask. That—the fourth—was the
varsity big inning. They made seven
runs on six hits and a walk.
The gem of the game, though, came
in the fifth. With none out and ‘the
‘4 bases loaded, it was either Anderson
or. second as the result of a double
oz: Nahm coaching at third who de-
cided to pull the hit-and-run, no sig- -.
nals having been given. With Tykie
throwing the ball up to Doyle, An-
derson tore suddenly for third. Judy
Shenton on_third, playing for the
faculty membér that didn’t turn up, _.
didn’t know what was going on. But ©
the Dogfish had a brain. He saw
what was going to happen and did
the best he could. By that time the
ball was nearly on top of him. But
he did the only thing. possible. He
low. But -it. was too low, and he
popped up to the shortstop, and a

Were doing at home, one had only
every. important speech of the sort
was printed in them. This time fac-
tor and the division of opinion in the
United States render very difficult an
influential role on the part of the
United States in European affairs. It
really pitiable to see how the
French hang on every word that
Roosevelt utters, and as one boy here
put. it, if the French had not already
elected Lebrun, they. probably would
have elected Roosevelt president of
Francé after that telegram to the dic-
tators. But after the storm of en-
thusiasm comes. the awakening, and
is
that they cannot count on the support
of the United States if they are
forced to go to war. «
As I have said, it is terrifically
hard to analyse one’s feelings, espec-
we shall have a good number of
friends on both sides. And after
prolonged conversations we feel sure
that some of our Nazi friends will be
far less apt to fight with enthusiasm
for the National Socialist State. -It
is hard in addition to know exactly
where one stands on domestic policy.
One understands the sharp split -in
opinion in the United States on the
neutrality legislation issue. That
either the United States should play
a strong peace-making role in Eu-
rope which, ofcourse, might necessi-
tate its engagement to participate in
war.that seems imminent or it is bet-
ter-that the dictators not know what
its policy is going to be seems to be
the general attitude here.
One of the most interesting. de-
velopments in intellectual discussion
in Geneva during’ recent weeks has
been the progress of the idea ex-
pressed in Streit’s book, Union Now.
The revelation was to have Mr. Lionel
German sentiment in opposition: to| Lord Lothian, about to embark for the
the United States became far stfong-
To know what. the isolation forces |

it depresses people naturally to know |
ially when one is ¢onfronted’ daily:
with the fact that if there is a war,|
the. possibilities of this sort of fed= |
eration were better today than they —
had
five months or even five
weeks ago. As Rappard put it, when

\lish ambassador, can suggest the sub-
‘mission of English sovereignty to an
\idea of the sort,. things have made
The problems’ pre-
sented are, of course, innumerable,

'would be the position of the Empire
imembers, how could we not be sure
that again the .time factor would
/make the progress so slow that the
|threat of such a_ possibility. would _
| precipitate rather than prevent a war? .
|The reply was, of course, that the
‘only possible first step would be an
alliance for mutual defense, and thus
we reached the question of, United
| States neutrality, and what hope for
‘such a project in view of opinion at.
|home.. However, it was amazing to
|see the possibilities of such a fedéra-
| tion as developed under the guidance
‘of the brilliant minds of.such men as
| Rappard and Robbins.
At Bryn Mawr it is the era of Little
May Day and of comprehensive night-
mares. Here a somewhat similar at-
titude prevails. We are all working
away to finish up our work'before the
tend of-the year and trying to get the
mos( possible out of our stay in Eu-
rope, before*we go home, either under
i the compulsion of, European events or
under our own volition when our work
is finished. Most of us are looking
forward to the relative calm of the
average American campus, after: this
year of continued tension, yet we
would not have missed it fgr the
world.
Before bringing this long-winded
epistle to a close I should like some-
how to voice my -appreciation for my
election, although in absentia for a
year, as president of the League.’ It
means more to me than you would
think, as the League has always beeny,
one of my major interests on campus,
I only hope I shall be able to do a7
good job after having been away for —~
a whole year, and somewhat out of .
touch, but at any rate I shall do my
best. 3 |

but I am a-_pragmatist ‘and I am
guided ‘a good deal. by the way the
thing works when you seek first the
kingdom of economics and are? all
else to be added.”
Mr. Taft cited Russia as a country
who has turned all her energies to-
ward economic betterment, but who
has abandoned human values.
tinued,
find anything to be proud of in our
attitude toward reliefers? Never
such interest in economics. Never,
I ‘think, such disregard of human
misery.
“What is lacking is a belief that
every last one of them has some bit
of the ‘divine spark if: you'll give
them a chance to show it. It is a
curious paradox that this tremendous
interest in economie reform should be
found. side by side with a distrust of
those who are to benefit by it. Dis-
trust of pedple-shows itself in a good
many ways besides the attitude to-
wards reliefers.”
“The vigorous reforming preacher
makes Sam Insull his’ whipping boy.
The President picks out the Liberty
League and business man X—or was
it Y? Otherwise sane people light
on the Communists. - Business men
talk about the brain trust. The Na-
tional Association of Manufacturers
won’t believe that their employees
can be intelligent enough to choose
an honest business. agent.”
“Economic Fatalism Noted
Economists today declare that pri-
vate enterprise cannot revive invest-
ment, that the government must take
charge, said Mr. Taft, “These econo-
mists like Marx are economic fatalists,
and have no confidence whatever in
He con-
“Come closer home. Do you

those intangibles that we call the
spirit of man.”
Out of a constant atmosphere of
grisis—in foreign affairs, labor rela-
tions, and elsewhere—and’ of excite-
ment which cannot be sustained,
grow thick skinned and cynical. That
ia itself is a spiritual crisis. Marxian
socialism or communism will never
get far inthis country, but the eco-
nomic fatalism and ‘the denial of any
but material ideals, which are the
essence of Karl: Marx, have come
pretty close to capturing us—intellec-
tuals, politicians and business men.”
Christian Faith in Individual
The central tenets of Christ’s teach- |
ing, continued Mr. Taft, “Were the
resultant of the ancient reformers,
the great burning preachers, and the
newer editors, drawn through a mind
of simplicity and power, cast in an
atmosphere of love. and affection for
men, women, and children, and all in
an economic background nearly as
desperate as anything Marx and En-
gels could paint. _
“The fact that Christianity hed en-
dured for two thousand years is: some
evidence ofits strength, but its ac-
complishments are a little more defi-
nite than this.” Here Mr. Taft traced
the beginnings of democracy in the
Puritan movement. The Levelers, who
demanded manhood suffrage, were de-
feated,at the time by the Cromwellian
party. These last asserted that “to
give every man a vote would mean
that those ‘without property would
outvote those with property, and then
take it Way from them. -That in other
words was communism.”
Mr. Taft attributed the later ac-
ceptance of the principle of manhood
suffrage in substantial part to the
Methodist and Baptist revivals, to the
influence of men and women who in-
sisted upon the dignity and squty
of all men.
Bringing his argument up to the
present, Mr. Taft asked, “What se-
curity is there for our cherished in-
stitutions when ‘you begin to think of
