.-Hubener Lectures
‘On Heroic Exorcism
In Beowulf Legend



‘Traditional Germanic Heroes
Are Thought to be Actual
Historic Figures



GRENDEL REPRESENTED
AS MALIGNANT’ GHOST

Music Room, March 21.—The le-
gerds of Siegfgied, Beowulf, and Her-
acles are actual histories of famous
primitive exorcists, stated Dr. Gustav
Hiibener, in his second lecture «at
Bryn Mawr. Only this explanation,
he believes, will account for both the
similarities and the discrepancies of
their sagas.

Previous research has tried to prove
that all three were variations of some
common Indo-Germanic folk-tale about
a hero of supernatural power who pur-
sued a monster to a cave and killed it
there. However, Dr. Hiibener pointed
out, the whole tone of the sagas is
not mythological, but historical. More-
over, there is no resemblance in the
* heroes and the proper names, such as
occurs in the different versions of the
Hynd Horne legend. Instead, each
hero is a distinct personality in a defi-
nite epoch and a different country.
“The heroic battles against the demon,
therefore, seem to point back to real
life—to an»wegjsting European custom
of exorcism.”

Furthermore, without these sagas,
the Indo-Germanic culture is the only
one that lacks a literature of exorcism.
Among all primitive people, it stands
for the recovery of self-control over
fear and hallucination by means of
spiritual authority. In. Bengal, the
devil inhabiting the sufferer is beaten
until he declares himself ready to
leave. In Africa and India, he is
propitiated with sacrifices. China,
however, provides the closest parallel
to the sagas. A Chinese priest lay-
ing a ghost first names the demon,
then threatens him, and finally attacks
him with a ceremonial carved peach-
wood sword, bound in red and adorned
with magic inscriptions. This is rec-
ognized to have no real significance as
a weapon. Its power is purely mag-
ical and psychological.

This custom may explain the
weapons that Beowulf takes against
Grendel’s mother, although he himself
realizes that devils are unreal “living
corpses” and “do not heed weapons.



the evil spirit he is wholly unarmed.
“Waiting in the dark hall,” said Dr.
Hiibener, “his expectation and panic
led to hallucinations; he saw Grendel
enter. Then his pride made him revolt
in frenzy,|fear was overcome, and the
demon withdrew.” The. detail of the
severed arm, Dr. Hiibener traced back
to the ancient-superstition that if the
arm is cut from a corpse, its ghost
will-be-deprived of further power. “He
believes that the original Beowulf,
failing to conquer “Grendel’’ entirely,
went to his grave and mutilated him.

mother, Beowulf, since the ‘danger is
greater, takes the magic sword of the
Court Thyle, whose office was to ex-

which explains his otherwise inexplica-

Graduate Fellows to Work
In Greece and England



Cum Laude Averages, Junior Year
Awards Announced



Goodhart Auditorium, March 18.—
Miss Park announced in chapel the
award of the two graduate European
fellowships, and the’ list of wnder-

‘graduates who have an average of 80
‘or above.

Delight Tolles, fellow in the Greek
department this year, will receive the
Mary E., Garrett European Fellow-
ship. Miss Tolles graduated. from
Vassar in 1935, took her M.A. at
Bryn Mawr in 1936, and has. been
Scholar in Greek (1936-’87) and Fel-
low in Greek (1987-88). She will
use the fellowship to pursue her stu-
dies in the field of the Greek house-
hold cult, and for that purpose will
attend the American School of Classi-
cal Studies in Athens next year. She
plans also to.travel in the Mediter-4
ranean to‘gather important archeo-
logical material.

The Fanny Bullock Wsoeaiis Fel-
lowship is awarded this year to Mary
Margaret Taylor. She studied at
Mount Holyoke before coming to Bryn
Mawr, receiving her A.B. there in
1935 and her M.A. in 1936. She plans
to carry on research in the Public
Record Office in London to complete
her Ph.D. thesis, which is a study of
the justices of the peace in Cambrige-
shire in the fourteenth century.

Miss Park said that she will report
later the decisions of the Board of Di-

rectors in regard to the plans for the

new library wing and for the re-
modeling of Dalton to house the de-
partments of Biology, Physics and
Mathematics. These plans are matur-
ing rapidly, so that “in the coming
year I think we shall not need to
travel to be dazed by what we'see
around us!” The new dormitory has
been named after the first president
of the college, James E. Rhoads, and
will henceforth be known as Rhoads
North and South.

Miss Park announced the names of
students who have been recommended
by their departments for the junior
year abroad: For the junior year in
France—Jane Anne Jones, Janet Rus-
sell, Jean Flender Small, Barbara
Anderson Steel; for the junior year
in Germany—Ruth Marie Lilienthal,

Hubener’s Lecture. on Husserl
And Scheler Deals With
Ethics, State



Common Room, March 18.—“The
school of Phenomenology,” said Pro-
fessor Htibener, in a lecture sponsored
by the Philosophy department, “orew
up in opposition to the growing spirit
of individual and collective self-as-
sertion,” of which the strongest ex-
emplification is to be found in the
philosophy > of Nietzsche.» Mt. Hiibe-
ner spoke mainly on the work of
Scheler in Ethics, but felt it necessary
to show the background of his work
in the general principles of Pheno-
menology. ag 4 °

The early Phenomenologists reco;
nized the danger of a merely biologi-
cal theory of state and attempted to
éstablish a substitution of high spirit-
ual values. The work of Edmund
Husserl .contains the belief in-the
ontological meaning of absolute truth
baséd’ on the understanding of logic
and mathematics as absolute and not
‘presupposing thought. Husserl “re-
discovered the existence of ideas, of
an invisible, absolute world of mean-

ing,”. in_whi¢h.the Be ries 1 a
participates. The outside world is

realized as other than ourselves, sim-
ply given as existing, and it belongs
to the essence of perception that we
see it as such, The-laws of essence|m
are realized by intuition as in the

derived from a study of fact.

Lecturer Discusses

Philosophy of India

Mr. Spiegelberg Denies Terms
Usually Applied by Writers
To Orientals





LAUDS YOGA IDEOLOGY



The Deanery, March 20.—Frieder-
ich Spiegelberg spoke in the Deanery
on What India Has to Offer Us Today.
Defining first what he meant in lis
statement of the subject, he analyzed
spurious versions of Indian teachings
im the western world, and at the same
time pointed out what we could learn
to advantage from “India’s. highest
thinkers.”

The use of “offer” in the statemenv
of his subject Mr. Spiegelberg found
misleading because what literally is
offered is perhaps of least value. He
cited as “a little too much offered”
The Heritage of India, a well-known
document of Indian thought today, and
branded this compilation of the work
of 100 scholars as an attempt to prove
the supremacy of Indian thought.

Several widespread misinterpreta-
tions of Indian teachings are based on
ideas actually possible only in a west-
ern civilization. ‘Resignation,’ used
as a blanket word to typify an Indian
attitude, is an example of this kind of
mistake. Rejected in Christian
thought and western philosophies,
nevertheless, he claimed, resignation
could exist only in the West. A re-
signed person is one who accepts his
disappointments and-no longer strives
to overcome them. This acceptance of
evil_is purely western. People in In-
dia, said Mr. Spiegelberg, do not flee
the world but overcome it. Misfor-
tune is unreal and to be vanquished.
by -non-recognition.

Study of the “elaborate doctrine”
of Yoga meditation leads to the re-

vision of our “too-much secular no-|-

tion of reality.” We are forced to
recognize a mythical consciousness
manifest in dreams and neurotic phe-
nomena. These ‘deep chaotic realms”
are-never ignored in India.

One of the greatest obstacles to
presenting Indian thought to the Occi-
dent is a language discrepancy. In
Sanskrit, for instance, the words are
so highly specialized that our modern
languages cannot reproduce them.
The- Scholastics, with their elaborate
systems of the soul’s progress; have
the mdést adequate’ variet¥ of words,
and for that reason one great San-
skrit scholar does all his translating
into medieval Latin.
~ Another distorting element in the
_| Fepresentation of. Indian ideas is the
western mania for emphasizing the
exotic, expressed in Heine’s fantasies
and in the numerous modern stidies
on Yoga. The authors of these books
are concerned with things not typical
of “highest Indian thought.” Buddha
always rejected miracles. In a bud-
dhistic community the first crime
which makes a member liable to ex-
pulsion is the crime of claiming super-
natural powers and faculties.

A constructive interest in Yoga asa
means of achieving higher physical
and spiritual powers is evinced by the
analytical psychologists, notably Jung.
They realize that western people have

much to learn from the Yogi’s fac-
ulty of diving deep into his soul.

“Yoga is trying. to raise the deep-

est of our animal being up and up

and up... until at the top of the

forehead this power is going out like

Intercollegiate Peace Institute Delegates

Discuss World P

Dr. Blanshard Favors Collective Security as Best Method

”

To Prevent War; Factors Molding Our Foreign

Policy Discussed by Mr. Stone ‘



AIMS. OF INSTITUTE
OUTLINED BY MORLEY



The aim of the Intercollegiate
Peace Institute at Swarthmore, Louise
Morley, ’40, explained in an _ inter-
view, was to coordinate and discuss
student ideas on world affairs. The
two speeches by William T. Stone and

Harry F. Ward were both excellent.
Moreover, the five commission ses-
sions prepared by students from the
five colleges taking part necessitated
much ijluminating research on the

| part of the representatives.

The council presented a true cross-
section of undergraduate opinion,
shading from deep red to conservative
white. To Bryn Mawr the contact
with ‘these ideas which seldom pene-
trate the campus was especially in-
structive. Mr. Herbert A. Miller, the
resource leader of the Bryn Mawr

commission group, gave constructive |

aid in guiding and preparing dis-
cussion.

The institute was planned by a
committee of students from Swarth-/o
more, Temple, Cheney State College,
West Chester Teachers’ College and}
Bryn Mawr. : Five members of this
committee had been working previ-
ously to draw up-plans for a regional
United Peace Committee similar to the
National United Peace Committee.

This regional committee will be elected

from the Youth organizations of the
district which are interested in
peace.

After the plan was approved and
adopted by the institute, Leuise Mor-
ley was elected chairman. The work
of the new committee will coordinate
the peace activitiés of schools and col-
leges in this area. At the first meet-
ing, the new chairman expects to

draw up plans for unifying the April};

27 demonstration so that any action
taken on that day will be part of a
concerted move. The first English
Peace Day was held on this date last
year and it is hoped that it may be-
come an international demonstration |
in the future.

* ANALYSIS EMPHASIZED



Swarthmore, March 19.—Students
from 31 schools and colleges took part
in the Intercollegiate Peace Institute ©
entitled’ Through Education to Peace.
‘Delegates worked on five commissions
treating various aspécts of the peace
situation’in the world today, and were
addressed by Dr. Brand Blanshard,
Professor of Philosophy at Swarth-
more, and William T. Stone, of the
Foreign Policy Association.

Despite wrangling ae parliamen-
tary procedure, and clashes between
the opposing forces of collective secur-
ity and isolation, the conference furally
reached a somewhat unified, Fv
Eleven resolutions were passedLouise
Morley, ’40, was elected-thairman of
the Rlanning Committee for the newly



lorganized United Student Peace Com- ,.

| mittee in this area.
The delegates were welcomed by
'Dean Harold E. B. Speight, of Swarth-
more, who emphasized the fact that
students should contribute to public
opinion in this country. .But to carry
| weight, student discussions should be
marked by the keenest intelligence,
and should be both sane and objective.
| Following Dean Speight, Mr. Blan-
| shard addressed the conference on the
Alternative Roads to Reace. There
are three such roads, he pointed out,
pacifism, neutrality, and collective se-
curity. . Each has its arguments and
objections.

Pacifism believes that force should
not be resorted to under any circum-
stances to settle disputes. Defenders
of this doctrine maintain that it is a
requirement of the Christian position,
especially of the Society of Friends;
that it is required by the intellectual
and moral nature of man; and that it



is effective.

However,.there are answers to these
pacifist---arguments._-The-~ Christian
position does not absolutely require
this view, for while Jesus loved man-
kind, He also hated iniquity. Dr. Blan-
shard maintained that there comes a
point beyond which tolerance cannot
be extended.

Among the Friends may be found

‘prominent men who advocated the

most extreme force to right injustice.
“The use of’reason is all right if one
is dealing with rational, moral be-

ings.” “But, when is a creature really
rational and moral?” asked Professor
Blanshard. “Proofs that patifism does



Goodhart Hall, March 17.—The
maids and porters, under the auspices |
of the Bryn Mawr League, entertained |
the college with a lively production of
Lord Dunsany’s Mr. Faithful. Al-
though the particularly British’ wit-
ticism of the lines did not wholly
coincide with the sense of humor of
the cast, the, places where , these did
come together were excellent, while
either was able to stand alone. Slow-
ness on their cues was the chief flaw

_lin the actors’ otherwise smooth and

spirited performance. Between the
scenes Louise Simms, of Wyndham,
and Carl Smith sang.

The story concerns a Captain John-
son who, in order to wed a profiteer’s
daughter, must hold some kind of job
for six months. His service as watch-
dog, under’ the name “Mr. Faithful,”
results. in many ridiculous situations
and provides excuse for much social
commentary of the early 20s. The
moral, if’ it may be called such, is

that although a man makes an efficient |

watchdog, the conventional animal
causes less-publicity.

‘Denbigh’s John Whittaker took full
advantage: of the comedy in his part)
as the watchdog. His canine enthusi-
asm reached a peak when he bounded
in front of his master shouting, “Sir
Walter’s going for a walk—hooray,
hooray, hooray!” Hilda Green, also
of Denbigh, was assured and charm-
ing as the profiteer’s daughter, and

—

not work may also be found in his-
tory. Force too often does not work,

‘rise again.”

Neutrality, the second road to peace,
demands that we deliberately ketp out
of war by obliterating all possible
tions. It rejects both pacifism and
militarism,
and necessities of war should not be
sent to either side; that citizens
should not be allowed to volunteer for
either side; that enemy ships should
not be permitted in our ports; and

that our own ships should not-be per-

MAJORITY IN PLEBISCITE .
SAYS “PRESERVE HOOPS”

The College News plebiscite on the
hoops resulted in a decision of 184
to 113 to “preserve” the tradition. The ~
alternative was to “destroy” it, not
necessarily implying destruction of the
jhoops. Pembroke East and the

evenly divided in opinion; the former
was 22 to 21, against, the latter, six to
rseven, in favor of preservation. Pem-
‘broke West was 40 to 26, Denbigh 44
to 17, Merion 27 to 17, and Rockefeller

WIT’S EN D
SPRING, 1938
NIHILIST SPRING SONG
There are birds about us singin’,
To the soft wind notes a-flingin’,
From each nest domestic wingin’,

In their ways to us are bringin’—
The ‘all too lurid look of ——



A young man stands before our win-
, dow,

You may wonder what he kin do,

Wondering, too, we watched spring
love ;

Throw nickels at the room above.

When open window breathes the moan
Of recorded saxophone—

When happiness creeps up the hill

And voice assumes a lilting trill—

On with program, out with knife,
We despise the merry life.

When we see each opening flower
We sink into.a sour hour.

Now that lilacs are in bloom,
There are no lilacs in our room,
But vast unmitigated gloom:

Nearer to exams are we—

Nearer than we wish to be.

While yet the gruesome mid-semester
Banishes our spring fiesta.

When we see this spritely gushin’
How we love the soulful Russian,

On his steppe so sadly sittin’
Readin’ what the stars have written.

His is not to educate

Or ’twixt two doctrines vacillate,
But polishing his scimitar

He sees our lives for what they are.
Go your way upon the earth

Joyous over each year’s birth.

But like the Russian we will live—
One timeless blob of negative.



FRAILTY

There’s a scientific affinity
Between spring predicted for 1.43,
And the yellow buds on the hawthorn
tree,
And a human mountain
Around the fountain,
And discardings of wintry modesty.

We’re aghast at nature’s weak admis-
sion
Of the truth of a human-made tradi-
tion,
The arbitrarily placed position
Of spring’s renascence.
This base obeissance
Shows that nature’s a sycophant, not
a magician.

By a neat little trick of necromancy
The coming of spring is no longer
chancy,
Nature’s prompt, and we humans fol>)
low our fancy.
The fountain’s not running, |
But even more stunning,
Dr. Chew’s forgotten his button-hole
pansy.

and grouped together under the com-
prehensive headings of Love and Sen-
timent, Comedy, College and Campus,
Nature, and In Serious Mood. In re-
gard to collegiate poetry he says,
“Light, graceful, humorous, sparkling
—this it should be for the most; seri-
ous sometimes, it is true—for young
men and women are at heart by no)
means frivolous, but touching the
note. of grief, if at all, almost as
though by accident.”

Analysis of. this crjteria on third
reading would indicate that there is
no sorrow in the souls of the authors.
ight, grace, humor and sparkle are
But deeper
emotions are there for those who seek,
the cry of a brave young heart, a pre-
Huxley heart, weeping amid a vale
of tears:

“Joy that shines through sorrow’s
sadness,
Sorrow mingling joy with. gladness.”

Love and Sentiment is treated sym-
bolically, almost every poem contain-
ing lone rose, two eyes, three tresses
and varying numbers of kisses. Smith
and Vassar students average between
four and five, Mount Holyoke seven to
eight and Yale, Trinity and Harvard
an_.unlimited collection. However,
Bryn Mawr usually substitutes death
instead or the
“Town where man can have his fling,
Can drink the dregs of—everything.”

The cynical spirit of humor is not
lacking in all this light, grace and
sparkle, It usually comes from an
acid-tipped masculine pen and takes
the form of a pun, “deadly weapon,”
However, it is advisable to omit these
sections since more up-to-date versions
can be found in the Log or the Prince-
ton Tiger.

A psychologist will find many sub-
jects for study, as for instance .a
young Williams man who-summed up
an acute frustration in 10 short lines:
Our. Wrongs
‘When girls are only babies,

Their mammas quite insist
- That they by us—
Against our wills—

Be kissed—kissed—kissed.

‘But when these girls

Are sweet eighteen,

Their mammas say we sha’n’t,

And though we’d like to
“We can’t—cah’t—can't.

In this unconscious outpouring wel
find the germs of modern disillusion.
Perhaps this very. poem fathered
Sweeney Agonistes or the same Among
the Nightingales,

It is also important to remember
that it might be your own uncle eAl-
bert in the throes of this frustration
or your own aunt Angela “drinking
the dregs of—everything.” The
signs of the future lie buried in the
past, the college poet of yesterday is
the chaperone of today, With this
in mind we advise you to go to these
poems and study them toward.a bet-
ter understandifig of that earlier gen-
eration. How otherwise can we, who!
write of telegraph wires and noth-
ingness sympathize with those souls
who spent their college days:
~ “Quaffikg -port and sherry,

Making yay and merry
With the giddy maids’? -
. Besides, if Spain goes on blowing

any good sherry anymore, anyway.

PUBLIC OPINION

To the Editor of The News:

The freshman class seems to object
to the tradition of handing down





ion, the objections are that the tra-
dition. is ‘“sentimental,” “repulsive,”
nauseating,” that it “hurts feelings,”

makes for competition and false mod-
esty,’”’-and finally, that it is “futile.”
Of all people, why should the fresh-
men take up this question with such
vehemence—when they have never
been subjected to hoops.
seem in a position to feel other than

questioningly on the subject. Let
them wait. Selah.
Contrariwise, they do object. They

object to sentimentality. Why? Some
people even like “Music, when soft
voices die,—” or “What-was he doing,
the great god Pan?” Probably the
people who like these are rare, but is
there not a certain virtue in rarity.
(Hmm).

Hoops (dearie) are neither “repul-
sive’. or “nauseating”; they
merely round, wooden things, while
the abstract traditien is materially in-
-nocuous. —

Perhaps this tradition may hurt
somebody’s feelings. Sissies. What
reasoning person is going to let a
pleasant custom “ruin her life’!
Shouldn’t one, by the time one is in
college, have developed a sense of hu-
mor, and a self-respect at least equal
to this mild occasion? . And if not,
why not? “The question is,” said
Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be mas-
ter—that’s all.”

As gleaned from Public Opin-~

‘Possibly hoops prove nothing about ; —

relationships. Possibly they were
never meant to. “I know what you’re
thinking about,” said Tweedle-dum,
“but_it isn’t so no how.”

“Contrariwise,’’ continued Tweedle-
dee, “if it was so, it might be; and
if it were so it would be; but as it
isn’t, it aint. That’s logic.”

As for the competitive aspects, com-
petition may be a good thing. Look
at the Italian baby race. And what if
it does induce “false modesty”—false
modesty is better than none. —

But why, after all these excellent
arguments, does the freshman say that
hoops are futile?) They seem, suffic-
iently to cause a number of Ends; but
why end the Ends so brutally?

The attributes applied to the tradi-
tion are self contradictory. There-
fore they cannot inhere in the tradi-
tion. If not in the tradition, then
they must be divided among the stu-
dents. “The fault, dear Brutus, is
not in our hoops but in ourselves, that
we are underlings.”

(Signed) FouR MEMBERS OF
THE UPPER CLASSES



To the Editors of The College News:

We want to preserve hoops, but. it
seems to us that some other method
would be better for passing them on
to the underclassmen. We suggest
that the seniors carry a single hoop
merely to roll on May Day morning.
The seniors can then pass on this hoop
and their other possessions between
May Day and commencement. This
would do away with the ostentation of
preference or neglect... We would in
this way preserve the friendly tradi-
tion without its accompanying evils.”

Mary Woop, ’39,
Oe LY R¥LERS 39, *
The Euitor of The News:

While I agree with you that. the
present system of giving hoops on Lit-
tle May Day may cause much unnec-
essary anguish, I think it would be a
crime to destroy them! They may be
sentimental but surely this is a de-
lightful form of sentimentality. What
can compare with a “Hepburn Hoop,”
or a hoop dating from 189—? Would
‘you wantonly condemn these to the
flames? Why not solve the problem
by letting’ each senior roll one hoop
on May Day and then at a later and
less public time give her collection to

EXCERPTS From EXILE





A-la Recherche de Combray
I think that the village of Combray
is one-~of the simplest and purest of
Proust’s literary amalgdmations.-Ad-

mitting that he transpianted the
viaduc, symbolic of the unknown re-
gions -of exjle and distress which lay
beyond his station, from Auteuil; that
he fitted all of his favorite bits of
Gothic architecture into the church,
Combray still remains so faithful an
adaptation of the little village of
Illiers that.one can easily use Swann
as a sort of Baedaker’ or Guide Bleu.

Tea with. Madame Mante, who is
the daughter of Proust’s younger
brother, preluded my visit to Illiers
and fixed all practical details. I had
been invited to meet a man so deeply
Proustian that he had been to Illiers
three times, (The ardour of medi-
aeval pilgrims seldom led them to
Jerusalem more thfan twice.) I think
he: was rather ‘surprised to meet me
in the. pantry. The concierge, hér
suspicions aroused when she saw that
I was dona ferentes in the form of a
bunch of jonquils, had ushered me into
the service lift. I also was bearing a
small notebook, in which I forgot to
take) notes, so excited was I by the
turn of the conversation, the charm of
Madame Mante, who looks lfke pic-
tures of Proust as a little boy, and
the flavor of the orange marmalade.
It makes one wonder why certain
people say that the French are not
hospitable to strangers.

The next morning, I am proud to
say, I arose a5.45 and caught a seven
o’clock train fa Chartres, where one
changes to a_ special transit ex-
press, renowned for burning up the
15 miles between Chartres and Illiers
in slightly less than three-quarters of
and hour. But I began to notice the
existence of Combray long before the
train arrived at Hliers. It is -as if
the whole plain of La Beauce were a
succession of Combrays fitted one in-
side the other like wooden Easter
eggs. Chartres, seen at a distance,

@

with two far-off spires. giving ex-
pression to the town, is the big red
Easter egg of Combray; the whole
country of La Beauce, dotted with
apple trees, luminous with a sort of
hidden lighting, is a glorified cété de
Méséglise, and the Eure, and édition
de luxe of the Vivonne; Illiers is the
middle, green Easter egg; and I -dis-
covered .the touching, . microscopic
little yellow Easter egg. (the: one that
always gets lost first) in the village
of Vieuxvice, a white-washed baby
|Norman church in the middle of a
poultry yard, with a gutter running
down the road and a field stretching
out behind.

Recognizing the clecher of Saint-
Hilaire when I saw the crows flying
around the spire, I climbed out of my
compartment with trembling knees,
and walked to the Place. My first
surprise was in the point of size. Of
course I had realized that as Proust
was_a child when he visited his aunt
at Combray, everything must have
seemed relatively larger in his eyes,
so I had expected a small village,
but I had not expected a toy town.
In comparison with the church, the
different-colored houses looked like the
tiniest of chickens huddled closely to-
gether. And the Vivonne, that mighty
river that filled with pink in the sun-
set, was hardly a rivulet, crossed by
matchstick bridges. My second sur-

images; phrases that I had thought
poetic were rigorously realistic. The
roofs of the houses did look “laineux
et gris.” There were'-no other words
for it.

It was a rather Méséglisian day and
I was afraid that it might rain at any
bminute; so, in order to save time, I
rented a bicycle, one franc 50 the
hour, at the bicyclist’s by 6d on the
Place, called Rousseau. e man in
charge examined my carte d’identité
minutely, asked me why I left New
York to go to Tours, why I left Tours
to come to Paris, and then told me not
to go and “fourrer the nez” in places
I shouldn’t. I found his well-meaning
patronage reminiscent of the esprit de



prise was in the exactitude of Proust’s '

Combray until it occurred to me that
he was probably worried about the
bicycle. I spent all morning tracing
the walks that Proust describes.
Méséglise, which, in the eyes of
Proust, had as abstract, as ideal an

existence as has the town ¢ Paoli for
us, is indicated on all signboards as
Méréglise. I was constantly under
the impression that the authorities
-were guilty of typographical errors,
and also lost precious time searching
for the name of Combray on a sign-
board which pointed to Illiers. Then
I wandered around the town, ex-
periencing the curious sensation of
being “une de ces apparitions stu-
péfiantes
ne connaissait point.”

At 12.30 I went into the hotel on the
Place and ordered an enormous lunch.
Three commis-voyageurs were kind
enough to ask me to sit with them
(“La ’tite demoiselle va s’ennuyer
toute seule);” but they wére rather
unattractive so I remained aloof. I
regretted this decision afterwards as
they seemed to be having such a good
time smacking their lipg and telling
each other stories, but otr relations
were by-no means stained and I re-
ceived a great deal of information
about what they did last’ mardi gras
and also about “les amours d’une
, chevre et d’un bouc,” during the
course of the meal.

The park of Tansonville in Swann
is partly the Pré Catelan (not the
restaurant in the Bois, but a tiny park
on the edge of Illiers). A very sweet
old lady with a large black moustache,
showed. me the aubépines, not yet in
flower, and told me that the daughter
of the former schoolmistress .had
married a man who lived so far away
that it cost 60 francs “to get there.
Like Frangoise, she mistrusted all
that was foreign. But Tansonville is
also a private property several kilo-
meters outside of the town. It has
recently been bought by some gens de
Paris who are redecorating the-house
and grounds.

Hall on Friday evening, March 18.

After the dinner, ,Miss Lena Lois

the following represeritatives of the
European graduate students: Miss
Elise van Hall, of Holland; Miss Vit-

of Germany, and Miss Arsenia Ar-

scholarship. He pointed out that a
scholar is really only a person whose .-
large amount of natural curiosity has
been confined within a prescribed field
and directed toward definite ends.
Also, he stressed the necessity for a _
sense of humor in a scholar, who must
be able to recognize that his own work
is thorough and well done, yet remem-
ber that his conclusions may be
proved entirely invalid when later
discoveries are made.

| Delight Tollesand Mary

Margaret Taylor

Are Given Graduate European Fellowships



The European Graduate Fellows for
1938-38 are Delight Tolles and Mary
Margaret Taylor. Miss Tolles will
study the ritual of libation in the
Greek household cult, from archaeolo-
gical remains in Athens and elsewhere.
Miss Taylor will examine the assize
rolls for Cambridgeshire for the years
1338 and 1881 for new facts about
the Peasants’ Revolt.

Miss Tolles decided that she would
“like to do a little Greek” at some
time during her last year at the Mt.
Vernon public high school. At Vassar
she took Greek all four years, receiv-
ing her A. B. as a Greek major in
1935. She has been a graduate stu-
dent at Bryn Mawr since then, and a
fellow in the Greek. Department this
year.

Miss Tolles’ dissertation for her Ph.

' D—D. will be in the field of the Greek

household cult about which little is
known. She intends to ascertain the
nature and position of the libation in
the ritual of the domestic cult. This
entails examination of evidence in a
wide range of Greek#iterature. The
comedies of the fifth century B. C.
provide a large portion of this ma-
terial.

Archaeological data is necessary to
support these findings. Miss Tolles
will visit sites on the islands of Delos
and Thera, where cult-implements that
have been excavated will help her de-
duce the nature and meaning of this
important factor ,in..Greek. religious
life. Although the procedure of liba*
tion is not wholly established, Miss
Tolles explained that it was per-

formed chiefly at banquets at the be-
ginning of the symposium. It was a
protective ritual to secure peace,
health, and prosperity for the house-
hold and its members. Two cups, or
perhaps more, of wine and water were
passed among those present and each
took a sip and poured a libation to
the desired divinities. One cup of un-
mixed wine was also passéd around.
Usually the Greeks thought unmixed
wine was bad, and that only foreign-
ers drank it; this explained why they
were so peculiar, Apparently it hada
favorable effect upon the gods.

Miss Taylor cannot remember when’
she became interested in history. At
Mount Holyoke she studied Medieval
History under Miss Neilson. . She re-
ceived her A. B. there in 1934, and her
M. A. the following year. For the last
two years she has been a fellow in
the History Department at Bryn
Mawr. In London she will collect fur-
ther material for her new disserta-
tion.

The powers of the Justices of the
Peace had just been enlarged in 1338
to allow them to determine felonies,

the justices of many powers. The rec-
ords of the trials in this later period
show that isolated outbreaks continued
after the rebellion was officially
quelled. These excise rolls will, also
give Miss Taylor much material to aid
her. study of economic and administra-
tive history of England.

REPORTER INTERVIEWS
GERMAN ARMY OFFICER



Paris (NFS)—A_ newspaperman
returning from Germany reports a
long conversation with one of the offi-
cers of the German army, which sheds
some light on the relationship between
the Nazi Party and the army. The
officer was a Prussian Junker, con-
servative and a Protestant, a typical
representative of the officer caste.

He and his friends were indignant
over the arrest of Pastor Niemoeller.
The persecution of the Catholics had
left him indifferent, but action against:
the Protestant church roused his anger
against the Nazis.

Another reason for his opposition to
the Nazis is their foreign policy." He
and his fellow-officers do not believe
that the democratic countries will con-
tinue to yield the Nazis. He has, the
highest respect.for the French army
and French war machines and he does
not believe that the German army is
strong enough to oppose France. Ger-
man infantry, above all, is still in-
adequate and insufficiently trained.
Czechoslovakia could be defeated, but
not one“of&the Great Powers. English’
rearmament has caused great worry
among the officers, while the military
power of Italy is not esteemed highly.

A third reason for dissatisfaction
with the Nazis arises from his caste
feeling. He and his fellows despise
the “plebeian elements” in the Nazis
who are no specialists yet wish to par-
ticipate in everything. On the other
hand, the officer corps endorses Hit-
lers’ and, Goering’s economic ‘policy.
They believe that private capitalism
has outlived its usefulness, particu-
larly in times of war. The only doubts
that still existed referred to the capa-
bility of the Nazis to govern industry.
Most interesting was also the fact
that there was much hostility to Blom-
berg.

This interview took place before the
recent. open conflict between the army
and the Nazis.

CURRENT EVENTS

(Gleaned from Mr. Fenwick)

When Mr. Roosevelt took office in
1933, he had “a beautiful dream’’—he
would remake the Tennessee valley.
He dreamed of damming the river at
strategic places and of building model
homes for the poor tenant farmers.
Messrs. A. E. Morgan, H. Morgan
and Lilienthal, the “triumvirate of the
T. V. A.,” have now dispelled that
dream by their falling out. Electrical
power, if generated, must be sold. Mr.
Lilienthal. was dealing with the Com-
monwealth and Southern Company,
which controls the sale of electricity
in the Tennessee region. The schism
has brought all such negotiations to a
standstill.

Mr. MeNutt, a ’ possible sirenidentlat
candidate, raised again the question of
independence for the Philippines in
1946. Congress says that the islands
might make the suggestion themselves,
and President Quezon is trying des-
perately to find a way out of the
Fearing Japan, he does not
want independence, but dares not say
so since he would foment opposition
at home and risk losing all he has
fought for in the last 30 years.

Last Thursday Mr. Cordell’ Hull
in a speech dealing with the isolation
policy of Congress, -warned against
the spread of international anarchy.
Triumph of the isolationist’ attitude
would precipitate the world into a
mediaeval chaos. Hull, prevented by
Congress from taking any direct
action, has adopted a course by which
we parallel the moves of countries







whose objectives are the same as ours.

This is a weak stand; but one com-
mon to all democracies, where there
iseio one voice dictating policies.
Poland’s greatest problem since 1920
has been to hold her own against Ger-
many. Seeing the rest of Europe busy
with other problems, Poland issued an
ultimatum to Lithuania. In 1920 the
problem had been who should have
Vilna. While the matter was being
discussed, -Poland took it. Lithuania
has been on a kind of sit down strike
ever since, refusing to mark. the bor-
ders, receive Polish ministers, or
issue visas for travelin Poland. Last
week, backed by an army of 250 ‘thou-
sand men, Poland massed troops on
the border. _ France and Russia avert-
ed war by persuading Lithuania to
yield. “There seems. little ey that
if Poland had entered Lithuania, Ger-

many would have gotten back Memel,|

a port under autonomous government,
directed by the League, but under. the
dominion of Lithuania.

Russia is worried. She faces at-
tack from the east and west, and Lit-
vinoff is advocating a meeting of all
the nations to discuss mutual protec-
tion. “The outlaw among nations” is
now urging the principle of interna-
tional security. No one trusts Russia.
Her internal state of panic-driven
purging has not built up faith.

Britain is still unable to make up
her mind. Chamberlain has urged all
possible concessions to Germany. Act-
ing accordingly, Czechoslovakia made
a deal with the three “activist”? Ger-
man parties on the western and south-
ern borders whereby they will have
proportional representation in govern-
ment and will get a proportional share
of relief. These German areas are

1941 Wins Interclass
Swimming Competition

we

High-Point Cup to M. H. De Wolf;
J. Braucher Runner-Up





Gymnasium, March 21.—The second
of the annual series of two interclass
swimming meets was held Monday
afternoons with the freshman emerg-
ing unchallenged victors, after win-
ning laurels in a large majority of
events. The sophomores. somewhat: re-
deemed their defeat of last week by
coming in second, with seniors and
juniors in third and fourth places, re-
spectively.

These interclass swimming meets,
says Miss Brady, are in some ways
more interesting than those of the var-
sity, since they bring out numbers of
people who normally evince little or no
interest in swimming from one sum-
mer to the next. - The competitions are
characterized by a friendly rivalry and
lack of restraint not found in more
serious matches, and the spirit of
abandon is heightened by the fact that
spectators are few; almost everyone is
competing. #

Both personal high-point cups for

a ; sooe
proficiency in diving and general
aquatic excellency for the two meets
were won by Mary Howe De Wolf, ’38,

ming, and E, Webster, ’88, and P.

Half of Season’s Games Won
By Varsity; Second Team
' -Defeated Once .





(Especially contributed by P. Jaffer,

Gymnasium, Saturday, March 19.—
The Bryn Mawr basketball team ended
its season with an exciting game
against Rosemont. Although Rose-
mont emerged victorious, Bryn Mawr
proved to be hard opposition.

The visitors were ahead at the half,
‘17-12, but by the end of the third
quarter the Bryn Mawr team had
gained a two-point lead. The scoring
attack was led by Dave Bakewell, the
captain, who made four consecutive
baskets. The guards, Ferrer, Martin
and Hutchins, were playing their best
game.

Play was close during the last quar-
ter, but Rosemont succeeded in re-
gaining their earlier position. The
final score was Rosemont 30, Bryn
Mawr 28.

Giltinan, of Rosemont, was high
scorer, accounting for 19 _ points.
Dave Bakewell and Connie Ligon each
scored 12 points for Bryn Mawr.

Swarthmore Defeats
Bryn Mawr Swimmers



C. Ligon Sets New Pool Record;
Link, Kirk Win Diving



March 18.—The Bryn Mawr Varsity

swimming team lost to Swarthmore

by a score of 35.5 to 45.5 in the Bryn
Mawr pool. Our team, handicapped
by the absence of five experienced
members, put up a strong fight and
the meet was much more closely con-
tested than the final score indicates.

Connie Ligon, ’40, broke the. pool|

record set by Margaret Wiley, ’36, in
the 40-yard freestyle event. Her new
mark was 238.6 seconds; the previous
one was 24.4 seconds.

Helen Stuart Link, ’40, took first
place in the diving from Watson, of
Swarthmore. Kathleen Kirk, ’41,-de-
serves much credit for being third in
this event, as she is not a regular diver

on the team and had practiced con-f

scientiously for this meet when she
found she had to fill in.

Alwyne Recital in Lyric
Mood Pleases Audience |

Selections From Rachmaninoff,
Schumann, Mozart. Played
With Charm

(Especially Sa by Patricia





Robinson, ’39.)

Goodhart Hall, March 21.—The key-
note of Mr. Alwyne’s piano recital
was charm, and he himself glossed
the efitire program with his own pe-
culiar grace. Not in several years
has there been such a large and ap-
preciative group of listeners, and
Alwyne surpassed himself in*his-per-«~
formance. The selections were.drawn
from the works of Bach, Mozart, Schu-
mann, Brahms, Pick- Manigiagalli and —
Rachmaninoff, with two encores—
Rachmaninoff again, and Debussy.
Perhaps the one criticism which can
be made of. the program is that it
seemed to strike the same _ note
throughout. Even the Bach Chromatie
Flintasie and Fugue was lyrical and
serene.

The Mozart Sonata in D major can
never be anything but delightful and
Mr. Alwyne played it with great
clarity and gracefulness.. The Brahms
Ballade in D and. the Capriccio in’ B
minor brought ‘out these same*quali-
ties in the performer. The Kreisleri-
ana of Schumann fared less / well.
Whether the acoustics of Goodhart
Hall rebel.against Schumann, or not
is hard to say, but he never seems to
receive full justice there. /In Miss
Hess’ recital last year, as in this, the
tone seemed to be slightly muddled
and the pleasant intricacy of the
thought lost in a blur.

The audience enjoyed the Danse
d’Olaf, of Pick-Mangiagalli, a gay,
willow-the-wisp piece which expressed
well its faery theme: The program
concluded with four works of Rach-
maninoff, nicely balanced between the
heroic and the lyrical. The two
Etudes Tableaux, together with the ©
Chromatic Fantagie which started the
programme, were the only composi-
tions which escaped from the “charm-
ing’ class. Perhaps had more such
works been scattered through the’ pro-
gram, the whole would have been
better pun¢tuated. However, . the

lyric mood was well susthined by Mr.
Alwyne and we shall remember his
recital as a very enjoyable one.

There are many such

religious ceremonies in Japan and
among the Pueblo Indians in Arizona.

The chief difference between the In-
do-Germanic exorcists and those of
other cultures lay in their position.
In the Eastern civilizations, this office
was always entrusted to priests or
hermits. Among the Germanic tribes,
however, where the warrior was the
center of the life of the community,
the exorcists not only possessed su-
pernatural power, but were men of

mitted to entér enemy zones.

Professor Blanshard believes that
Collective Security, joint action to pre-
serve peace through peaceful sanctions
or military coercion, is the best road.
Arguments against this policy and the
League which is its organ of action
seem weak to him. . Even inthe past,
when joint action seemed possible,
the League never had proper police
power to back its decisions. Today
the League is ineffectual, but it must
be built up. “Unless we are willing
to get behind some international sys-
tem, we will surrender the world to
the Fascists.”

to their. various commission meetings
to discuss the individual problems.

Stone spoke to the students on The
American. Student and the United
States Foreign Policy.

Mr. Stone began by repeating a

.-| statement he made in 1933 to the effect

that if changes in the status quo can-
not be brought about by international
agreement; states. will resort to force.
“The greatest. question today is
whether we can insure America
against war,’ he said. Isolation and
collective security are the two means
offered. But the choice is not as sim-
ple as it seems, for many factors mold

.our foreign policy.

First among these factors is the in-
ternal pressure brought to bear. We
canhot divorce domestic and: foreign
issues. Furthermore, it is important
to take stock of international relations
today. They are, based on power-poli-
tics. We must keep that fact in mind
when agreeing with other nations to
follow through decisfons which néces-
sitate the use of moral persuasion or
force. ‘Public opinion is another fac-
tor which determines the means used



to attain peace. In concluding, Mr.
Stone said that students must attempt
to retain some %Semblance of sanity
when deciding these problems, for “if
they lose that, they have lost the
fight.”

Following Mr. Stone’s speech, dele-
gates again retired to their commis-
sions, this time to formulate resolu-
tions to be presented in the plenary
sessions. At that time, the commis-
sion chairmen reported on, the work of
their groups. After a play, present-
ed by the Players of the Little Thea-
tre Club of West Chester State Teach-
ers’ Collége, the conference convened
again to pass on the resolutions.

A blanket resolution condemning
the Nazi government for its acts of
the past week and endorsing collective
security was first passed. It was fol-
lowed by resolutions opposing the May
Bill, endorsing the Peace Strike on
April 27 and extending it to include
erganized labor, advocating lower tar-
iffs and reciprocal trade _ treaties.
This strike also calls for demonstra-

tions on all campuses protesting
against German aggression, denounc-
ing compulsory R. O. T. C., opposing
the Vinson Bill for naval appropria-
‘tions, and opposing the Teachers’
Oath.

After dinner at Parrish Hall the
delegates were again addressed by
Professor Blanshard and Mr. Stone.
Professor Blanshard summarized the.
work of the delegates. Disagreement
really begins, he said, at the point
where we must decide what action to
take in international affairs. “But
what seems uppermost in your minds
