Cushman Claims

Real Shakespeare
Is Earl of Oxford

Bases Case on Education

Of Both Men, Oxford’s
Own Genius





G.
Cushman, speaking on the Present
Day Claims of the Earl of Oxford
to the Authorship of Shakespeare’s
Plays, based his argument on cer-
tain weaknesses of the Stratford

claims, especially on Shakespeare’s
lack of education. The 17th Earl
of Oxford, because of his aristo-
cratic background and wide educa-
tion, he said, has a more valid
claim to their authorship.

The Shakespearean mystery has
been increased by forgeries and de-
struction of the actual facts. The
wide knowledge of science, art, lit-
erature, sports, and aristocracy in
Shakespeare’s plays cannot be ex-
plained merely by calling Shakes-
peare an “unversed genius.” How
could a man who wrote that “dark-
ness is ignorance” bring up his
child with no education?

The case for Oxford, however,
Mr. Cushman declared, is not built
on tearing down Shakespeare. The
main points which he listed for|
Oxford’s defense were his skill in
the use of the six line stanza of |
the Lucrece and Venus and Adonis, |
his extensive travels in Italy, his
acknowledged genius, dramatic
mind, and aristocratic background.
The number of Latin interpola-
tions in Shakespeare’s plays is in-
teresting in view of the fact that
Oxford’s tutor had made _ seven

Comparative Religion
Discussions Planned
For Following Year



Under the leadership of ’ Miss
McElroy, a group has been meet-
ing in the Common Room on Fri-
day evening for supper and dis-
cussion of Comparative Religion.
These informal evenings have been
extremely successful and plans are
already being made for their con-
tinuation next year.

The evenings began early in the
second semester with a discussion
of Orthodox Judaism, led by Miss
Gabriele Schoepflich, a member of
the Graduate School. This was fol-
lowed up by a trip to the Har’Zion
Synagogue in town. Father An-
thony Flynn, of Rosemont College,
spoke on Catholicism and Dr. Sher-
man Skinner, a Calvinist, came
from Germantown the next week.
One very unusual evening was
given by three members of our own
faculty, Miss Koller, Miss Lograsso
and Mr. Wells, on the present day

Ensemble Presents
Variegated Concert
In Informal Setting



Specially contributed by
Ann Adams, 43

Goodhart Music Room, May 1.—
Freshness and enthusiasm were
the keynotes of a concert present-
ed by the Bryn Mawr chamber mu-
sic ensemble, directed by Miss Hel-
en Rice.

The ensemble opened the pro-
gram with Mozart’s Eine Kleine
Nachtmusik. The characteristic
lightness of Mozart was under-
stood and brought out by this
group. After this;-Louise’ Alien
and Ann Updegraff sang a duet
from lakme by Delibes. This was
marked by the perfect blending of
the two voices, and lightness and
clarity of tone. Miss Rice and
Harriet Case then played the An-
dante from the Schubert Sonata
Opus 131 number one, after which
Margot Dethier sang three songs:
the aria Non si piu from The Mar-
riage of Figaro, Schumann’s Ich
grolle nicht, and as an encore
Young Love Lies Sleeping by Som-
ervelle. Margot’s singing was ex-
cellent and met with hearty re-
sponse from the audience. All
three selections were sung with
mature understanding and were
well interpreted. She accomplished
the transition from the jovial Mo-

zart aria to the emotional Schu-

Florence Nightingale in Paris on the Rhine
Gives Orders in the Criminal War of 1854



By Barbara Kauffman, °43

It’s extraordinary how X-rays
affect and are affected by the psy-
chology of scientists. For full de-
tails consult the last German Oral.
In the meantime it may interest
you to know that they are the
“rays which-the scientist according
to: his mysterious nature calls X-
Rays”; that these rays he signifies
with name of X-Rays against his
better nature; that “the rays can
be smuggled through the clear sol-
id paper cover of a photographic
plate . . . a paper the thickness
of light.”

Réntgen. The poor man was
“seized with the exploration of a
green fluorescent light,” and “in

was, which was. green-glowing
(the place) emanated a new kind
of mysterious rays.” Such, indeed,
is “the secretive nature of X-rays.”

Put theoretical science to practi-
cal application and you get “the
one month old child who plays with
his chairs and tables.” Also Miss
Nightingale -whose whole youth
was devoted to giving up later life.

But it was’in “the Criminal War
in the year 1854” whose “reports
caused concussions among the peo-
ple” that the great geographic up-
heavals took place. The whole city
of Paris seems to have moved and

N.Y. Organization Seeks
Volunteers for Farms



Farm for Freedom, a new or-
ganization in New York State to
supply the labor needed: for plant-
ing and picking beans, berries, and
apples, is calling for college and
private school students over seven-
teen for the season from June 5th
to October 30th. In devoting their
summer vacation to patriotic work,’
the students would live together in
country hotels and would be paid
according to the. current wage
scale of. Columbia County.

A Committee, formed at the re-
quest of farmers in Clemont, Ger-
mantown and Livingston, N. Y., is
seeking to fill the labor shortage
occasioned by the thousands of
men now in the armed services and
to build up a huge reserve of fruit
and vegetables. Boys and girls
over seventeen. would be obligated
to work for the whole season and
would be responsible for paying
their own roof and board, laundry
and railroad expenses. Volunteers
may live in hotels, in private board-
ing houses, or in cottages near the
hotel at an approximate cost of $8
to $10 a week. Swimming, base-
ball, picnics, movies, dances, and
other activities are added recrea-
tional attractions. Any who wish
to work for. patriotic reasons, and
yet to make a moderate wage, will
be serving their country in a most

effective way. Application blanks

Bondfield Will Talk

About Social Service





Margaret Bondfield, former La-
bor Minister in England, will
speak at the Deanery on Sunday

May 10 at five o’clock on Social |

Service in the War in England.
The only woman ever to hold the
office of Minister in England, Miss
Bondfield is also Secretary of the
Clerical Workers Union. She has
been extremely prominent in the
Labor Party, and has been partic-
ularly interested in the part wom-
en can play in Trade Unionism.

Since the War, the question of:

Women in Defense has been her
chief occupation.

When Miss Bondfield came _ to
the United States this winter she
immediately set about reaching La-
bor Organizations here. She has
travelled extensively throughout
the country speaking and advising
on:Labor’s position in the war.

Tea will be served at 4.30.

Goodhart Hall, May 4.—Marian
Anderson, famous contralto, thrill-



ed a capacity audience with her

glorious range of voice and deep
emotional understanding.

It is practically impossible to
designate any one part of the pro-
gram as superior to the rest, since
almost every composition seemed
to bring out a new quality of tone
or a different style of interpreta-
tion. While most singers excel in
one type of performance and are
found wanting in others, Miss An-
derson maintains her high standard
in every direction. It seemed as if
the talents of several artists were
combined in one. .

The program began with Han-
del’s Begriissung, followed by So
Wie die Tauber also by Handel in
which Miss Anderson showed her

passages and wide leaps. The fa-
miliar Agnus Dei from Bizet’s mu-

simplicity and depth of feeling.

Buy Bonds
Everyone has been told he, should buy war bonds. Very few
people know why. The general impression given by posters and
advertisements is that the money goes to buy military swpplies
and to pay for the army we are building. Actually, while this is
true, the amount is relatively insignificant, compared with tax











expenditures. :

The Government must buy military supplies whether there is
money or not by creating credit through the banking system.
Because of this and because of the increased employment, there is
more money to spend for fewer civilian goods. This obviously
means a money surplus. The function of bonds is to help prevent
the inflation of prices that could easily result from this situation,
by absorbing this excess buying power. Therefore, by putting
savings into War Bonds, you are defeating their initial purpose.
Only money which you would expend for the purchase of every-
day commodities should be converted into War Bonds. Otherwise
their whole aim is lost.

Some compulsory method of buying these bonds may be
necessary to help check the rising cost of living if voluntary meas-
ures are not sufficient. Therefore, when you see “Buy War
Bonds” emblazoned over the countryside, take all this into con-
sideration and forego that new mink coat.



— With Distinction
Individual work, since its valuecan hardly be doubted, should
be more generally possible than it now is. The honors system at
Bryn Mawr provides an opportunity for a limited number of
students: to do comparatively independent research and to collect

their own material. Why should this privilege be restricted to a).

wth.

few?
For to do such work is a privilege for many college students,
It would be highly valued by more than the number now asked to

do honors. We have spent four years in high school, three years}

in college listening to lectures and reading secondary sources.
Let’s get to the primary ones, even if we can reach only a few.
The majority of college students who have arrived at their senior
year must be capable of original work. If they are generally
interested in and anxious to attempt projects resembling those in
the present honors system, opportunity should be given.

An objection to the inclusion of-a-large-number of students in
such a plan may be made by the departments. There would not
be time to handle each student who might request it individually.
A system might be arranged, however, by which work could be
partly supervised, perhaps, by graduate students.

In any case, a more generally applied plan for senior theses
is desirable. For those who wanted them such papers would be
invaluable. They would pull together scattered threads of stu-
dents’ major work and at the same time they would enable them

Nuts and Bolts

By Ann Coulson, °44

Colleges are becoming rapidly
geared to the special needs created
by the war. Yale, while keeping
in close touch with all army and
naval training programs, is now
drastically curtailing its extra-cur-
ricular activities. This is obvious-
ly necessary in order to provide an
opportunity for effective, complete
acceleration and the essential con-
centration in more martial direc-
tions. The reductions in all extra-
curricular activity are to take ef-
fect this summer and will probably

Jagascar, as the key tothe main
supply line to Russia and the Far
East, was the main point raised
by Miss Reid.

The United Nations must obtain
control over this strategic island,
said Miss Reid. Although there is
some transportation through
French Equatorial Africa where
planes shipped overseas are assem-
bled and flown to China, the main
traffic must go through the 250
mile stretch of water between
Madagascar and the coast of Por-
tuguese Mozambique.

The Burma Road is completely
lost to us, and neutral ports are
badly situated so that supplies
must go further north by Mada-





their destination by various
branches of ‘the Trans-Siberian
Railroad. First and foremost Ja-
pan must be kept out.

A battle is now in progress be-
tween Vichy French forces and
English troops — Free French
forces are not being used, to pre-
vent the development of civil war.
The United States government
sent for the ambassador from
Vichy and warned him that any
further resistance on Vichy’s part
would be considered an act of war
against the United Nations. Laval
replied that it was not fair to ex-
pect them not to resist an attack
on French soil. Vichy will not
make the break itself, he said, so
that the consequences of the at-
tack must rest with the United

gascar and continue through. to ._

is done. The Inn is in a beauti-

To the Editor:

The most unfortunate result of
the whole situation is the wonder-
ful opportunity it offers to the
German propaganda machine. The
‘occupation by Britain is to be tem-
porary and is dictated by no im-
perialistic designs. Germany will
not take this view, for England
did not accept these same reasons
offered for the occupation of Nor-
way. The'British realized the bad
effect this conflict would have for
them in the war of nerves and
propaganda, but strategic neces-
sity compelled them to act. Amer-
ican participation’ in this contro-
versy might help since we do not
have the reputation of an imperi-
alistic nation, and as such might
be able to relieve some of the ten-
sion. This is by no means a cer-
tainty.

The only ray of light in the
whole affair, asserted Miss Reid, is
that any naval battles will most
probably be fought between the
British and the Japanese so that
the French and English will not be
sinking each others ships.

She had made up her mind to go

Phyl White Pitches |
Dazzling Ball Game |

Against Swarthmore





Swarthmore, May. 1.—A_ sensa-
tional rookie fast ball pitcher,
Phyllis White, hurled the Owls to
a decisive victory over Swarthmore,
13-6 Saturday afternoon. Bryn
Mawr exploded seven runs in the
first inning, and this lead was never
threatened in the remaining five
frames.

The first triumph of the season

« showed the Owls to be much. su-

perior to their opponents, not only
in fielding accuracy but also in bat-
ting power. Sally Jacob made the
most dazzling play of the after-
noon, diving to her right for a line
drive that was tagged as a hit.
Every fielder was fast and played
effortlessly. :

At the end ‘of three innings of
hardball Bryn Mawr _ led,’ 8-3.
White’s control was imperfect as
she faced the first three batters but
thereafter she settled down, giving
up only two hits and fanning one.
She is the best material the Owls
have seen in sometime. She con-

Germany.

In this story, both con-
quered and conquerers are really
the same in terms of character;
the Nazi creed is little more than a
veneer. Colonel Lanser, the chief
of the victors, upon whom so large
a part of the book is spent, lacks
even that veneer.

The function of the novelist is

conflicts to the terms of human
personalities and we are told that
human nature does not vary basic-

er it is legitimate to ignore almost
completely the strong possibility
that the doctrine of the New Order
has penetrated deep into the char-
acters of the men of post-Hitler
There is every reason
for believing that it has, and that
the victors of whom Steinbeck
writes cannot be adequately pic-
tured in terms merely of loneliness
and fear, disillusionment and _ sor-
row. In trying to create what his
publishers call “immortal” charac-
ters, Mr. Steinbeck has missed the
point.

The only trouble Mildred has

Miss Robbins, when Mildred came

Miss Robbins, “don’t be foolish.

RUMOR FROM RIO







Comissiao Juridica’ Interamericana
Consélho Municipal
Rio De Janeiro, Brasil

Fenwick Discusses . Brazilian
Attitude Toward Enemy
Nationals



April, 1942.
Dear College News;

It is cheering to hear from you
from time to time, even though |
numbers of the News are always a|
month late, sometimes more, my |
last number to arrive being that of |
March 11. : |

Here in Rio we are busy round-|
ing up fifth columnists and other-|
wise trying to put a stop to the!
subversive activities of the alien,
minorities in our midst. Citizens
of the Axis Powers cannot be,
treated as “enemy aliens,” for Bra-|
zil is not at war with the Axis.
But that does not prevent a sharp |
watch over them to see if they are|
violating the laws against having |
secret radio transmitters and en-!
gaging in acts of sabotage in aid
of their countries at war. What
Brazil is doing is something quite
novel in international law,—just
as novel as, what the United States
was doing in the days when we
were still neutral, yet were giving |
aid to Britain in ways that could
not be justified by. the technical
rules of neutrality. But Brazil
isn’t bothered by acts of Congress |
which have to be repealed; the,
President just issues a “decree-
law” and the spies and fifth col-|









umnists find themselves in a lovely |
concentration camp, known as the |
Ilha das Flores, with sandy beaches
and towering palms, which. is- more
suggestive of a South Sea paradise |
than a place where offenders|

tody. For all that, Berlin com-
plained loudly in yesterday’s paper
of the ill treatment her nationals
were receiving. Maybe there are a
few fleas around; but the abbrevi-
ated South Sea garments the pris-
oners were pictured as wearing;
shouldn’t give fleas much of a
chance.

This morning’s paper has a pic-
ture of the Gloria Hotel where I
live, with an article describing it
asa ‘Tower of Babel,” where
many languages are spoken and
where wicked Japanese spies have
put up when engaged in their
deadly activities. The Japs are
the ones that have given most
trouble; for only a Japanese gen-
eral or captain could live for years
as a farmer or a cook waiting for
the opportunity to lead his fellow-
farmers and cooks in battle when
the time comes to take over.

Only in a few ways has the war
begun to pinch us. The lack of
gasoline is at present the thing
that is felt most. For the past few
days one car after another can be
found along the main boulevards
awaiting a liter of gas that will
enable it to get home. I can see
from my window a big Spanish
steamer lying in the inner bay
waiting for fuel.oil; and from,
what I hear from passengers its
stay may be prolonged indefinitely.

Today is a national holiday in
honor of the hero-dentist, Tira-
dentes (tooth-puller), who led an
unsuccessful revolt against the
Portuguese Government 150 years
ago. His name has become a sym-
bol of devoted patriotism, and the
word “martyr” is applied to him
as to Lincoln. The ceremonies in
his honor this afternoon took place
before a gallows erected in one of
the public squares,—a nice bit of
realism. :

As I write by the winddw™f am
fascinated by two brown birds,

about the size of small hawks, a;

species of gaivota, which fly swift-
ly over the water at a height of

The Wares: Turns

I am tired of all eulogies, all ele-
gies and trilogies
About the work that we could do,
; but don’t
They cry, we are inert, all our
strength we should exert
For our college, for our country,
but we won’t. :
We are stubborn, they maintain,
lack-a-daisical and vain
And we don’t see where our foolish
path will lead.
“Are we here to waste our time in
this apathy sublime?
What can life offer us without a
creed?”
Chorus
We've got to believe
We've got to believe
We've got to believe in a goal.
We must have a creed
We must have a creed
We must have a creed for our soul.
But this we answer slyly, with an
oily smile on face.
We’re comfy and we’re certainly
no muckers.
For can you say the same, with
your scorn and your disdain?
No—my friends, it’s faithful you
who are the suckers.

‘Cushman Claims Earl of ©

Oxford Real Shakespeare



Continued from Frage One
Oxford’s personality cannot be
eliminated from the-plays and es-
pecially from the sonnets, Mr.
Cushman said. That he was con-
nected with the theater is evi-

{denced by the fact that his father

owned his own theatre and play-
ers. He is known to have written
plays although none remain under
his name. The output of the plays
stops shortly after Oxford’s death
and the possibility exists that the
later plays may have been pub-
lished posthumously.
Mr. Cushman also declared that
paintings of Shakespeare have
been discovered which have been
painted over some of Oxford. The
patriotism of the plays is signifi-
cant because Oxford was pension-
ed, possibly in order to write to
raise money for Drake’s Fleet.
Mr. Cushman was vague on the
question of why Shakespeare’s
name should have been attached to
the plays. A possible explanation
is that Oxford’s family wished to
keep his connection with the thea-
ter a secret.

ART

Outstanding exhibitions at the
Philadelphia Art Alliance this
month will be Contemporary Cer-
amics of the Western Hemisphere,
for Outdoor Living,
and Oils and Temperas by Eleanor
Arnett,

The ceramic exhibit will repre-
sent the best_work of the United
States, of Mexico, Canada and Ice-
land, and fifteen countries of Lat-
in‘America. From May 9 to June
1 the entire exhibiting space of the
Alliance will be devoted to this in-
teresting display which was part
of the large exhibition organized
by the Syracuse Museum of Art
and the International

Machines Corporation.

Demonstration of the actual cer-
amic process will be given in the
afternoon and evening starting
May 11. Since the week of May
11-17 has been declared Western
Hemisphere Ceramic Week by the
Mayor of Philadelphia, this exhibi-
tion should be especially well at-
tended.

In the Decorator’s Gallery Alice
O’Neill afid Nita Weil of Snellen-
burg and Company will arrange an
outdoor room with garden furni-
ture and ceramics in their exhibi-
tion entitled Decorations for Out-
door Living which will be shown
from May 9. to June 15.

Eleanor Arnett is pricing her
pictures in terms of war bonds and
stamps. Her oils and temperas
will be shown from May 9-29 in
the dining rooms and bar. She
plans to exhibit some of her un-
usual musical abstractions in
which she represents in paint the
feeling and rhythmical shapes of
music. She also will show some
landscapes. Miss Arnett is a na-
tive Philadelphian and studied at|
the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine|
Arts and in Europe. Her work
has attracted much interest in

Not enough can be said in ap-

and self-conscious worry of the

Glee Clubs will follow suit by con-
centrating predominantly on _ in-
formal activity with perhaps one
elaborate production during the
session,

Yale’s plan is chiefly to be com-
mended because it forces none of
these organizations to die com-
pletely. The curtailed activity
planned will permit pleasure and
relaxation without depriving the
students of time which is now in-
valuable. Co-educational institu-
tions should require less reduction
in activity while women’s colleges,
for the present at least, scarcely
any at all.

Even Yale cannot be expected to
be completely consistent in its
readiness to make sacrifices for the
war. Outside the academic field,
they live in the Victorian era. War
or no war, Yale opposes slacks on
females.

Yale was defeated in a debate
with Sarah Lawrence, arguing on
the negative side of: ‘Resolved:
that slacks are unfeminine, irra-
tional, and totally unsuitable dress
for women.” Sarah Lawrence car-
ried the day by proving that “You
can’t be a slacker in slacks.”—but
Yale untraditionally had the last
word by “pointing out several per-
tinent points as to the femininity
of slacks as opposed to skirts.”

inaudible starting point without

The spiritual group was unusual
in that the accompaniment did not
intrude itself upon the listener, as
so often happens in this type of
song. Part of the credit for this
should go to Mr. Rupp, the accom-
panist, who gave. Miss Anderson
such admirable support throughout
the evening. All of the spirituals
were sung with great understand-
ing and revealed that Miss Ander- |
‘son can be an actress as well as a!
singer. The quick change of mood
from the deep tones of Tramping
to the brightness of Honor, Honor,
was accomplished with no sense of
incongruity.
