Chinese Mass Singing
Explained by Mr. Liu
Common Room, Tuesday, Novem-
ber 12.— Liu Liang-Mo, graduate
of the University of Shanghai and
Secretary of the Chinese Y. M. C.
A., spoke under the auspices of the
A. S. U. In China he was a leader
of the Mass Singing Movement,
which has been a means of unify-
ing and inspiring the whole Chi-
nese nation. ° Mr. Liu spoke of its
organization, and of the great rise
in democratic purpose which the
war has brought in China.
When Japan seized Manchuria
in 1931, China believed that the
League of Nations would restore
it. To express anti-Japanese feel-
ing was criminal; and to vent the
people’s emotions-a young vagrant
wrote a song, the “March of the
Volunteers.” It discarded the old
-plaintive--melodies~ and~-embodied
the martial determination of his
people. The musician went to Ja-
pan to study; a month later his
death, by drowning, -was-reported:
To continue the musician’s work,
Mr. Liu organized a small group
of working-men in his Y. M. C. A.
Within a week the group doubled,
within four months outdoor con-
certs by a chorus of two thousand,
self-conducted, were being given
for audiences.

Miller Makes Plea
For Isolation in Talk
On War and Peace
On Armistice Day Mr. Millet
spoke on the issues of war. and
peace that confront the American
The decision that
lies before us is not an easy ‘one
people today.
for it is a question of choosing be-
tween two evils both of which are
difficult to face. He asks us to ex-
amine the issue realistically to
discard part of the. promises made
in the political campaign.
In Mr. Miller’s opinion, aid short
of war to Britain is destined to
fail; it can conceivably save Eng-
land and lead to a stalemate, but it
cannot win the war. The only way
to win is to strike Germany in a’
vital spot by land, and this ob-
jective carnot be achieved by Eng-
land alone. English statesmen
realize that the entrance’ of the
United States into the war is the
only way to save England, but
they present the prospect in con-
servative .terms. “The use of
American soldiers in Europe is
not mentioned.,/Mr. Miller believes
the war which they would have us
enter will have to be,one of uni-
versal liability; we will be engaged
in every’ hemisphere and our men
will fight in every corner of the
world.
The results of the World War,
continued Mr. Miller, prove that
wars do not make the world safe
for democracy. War destroys the
conditions._that--make democracy
possible. Not only would it be im-
possible to make democrats out of
the starving, decimated peoples of
Europe, but we would imperil our
own democracy.
The prospects of peace are not
ideal, but Mr. Miller believes that
we have more chance_of preserving:
our democracy under peaceful con-
ditions than by entering a war of
universal liability. We have stood

Athlete-Editor Rises
To Rank of Copy Boy
Emily-Cheney was given public-
ity last week in Newsweek as the
first copy girl ever hired by the
New York Daily News. Copy boys
are described as “those run-ragged
youths who jump at shouted or-
run endless errands, ‘and
shuttle coffee, crullers, and cigar-
ettes up from the corner quick-and-
dirty.”” Great stress is laid on
Emily’s endurance, gained by her
athletic achievements in college.
She is described as “the blue-eyed
blond who last year edited the
Bryn Mawr College” weekly.” A
forty hour week pays her sixteen
dollars, and after two weeks on the
job “the latest feminine phenome-
non of the Fourth Estate” thinks
she can hold her own with the best
of the copy boys.

Crenshaw Traces
Atomic Conceptions
in Chemical History
In the fourth of the History of
Science lectures, Monday evening,
November 11, Mr. Crenshaw spoke
on the development of the concepts
of elements and atoms. A discus-
sion of atoms was chosen since
they are the bases of elements.
Early chemists developed simple
chemical processes like dyes and
speculated about the composition of
the_universe. The Greeks believed
that fire, air, earth and water were
the bases of the universe, and other
ancients, that the fundamental was
a single element, indestructible and
unchanging. Aristotle, however,
distinguished the world according
to four properties which defined
the four elements. Matter could
be changed by changing its proper-
ties, a belief which later underlay
the alchemists’ theories.
The alchemists were interested

Racy News Technique
Applied with Gayety
To Living Newspaper
On Friday, November 15, the
“Living Newspaper” play will. be
presented in the Gym, at 8.15. Ru-
mor hath it that” this year’s pro-
duction exemplifies racy newspaper
technique at its best. The scenes
range from tennis matches, to ref-
‘ugees, to a confusing number call-
ed smudge.” Technically.the play
is concerned with civil liberties,
but one is given to understand that
it might be called “Are we using
what we’ve got? or, two nights in a
bar room.”
In Greek fashion, the chorus,
whose cosmic sweep ranges from
the Deep South to the Windy City,
plays a large part and reputedly
creeps around the balcony and
whips down the fire-pole.
Aristotle, however, would turn
over in his grave, because the three
unities are grossly neglected and
all _is_ sacrificed to atmosphere,
spontaneity and forceful presenta-
tion.
Committee Active
In Relief of France
Asks American Aid
At the French Club meeting in
the Common Room, Tuesday, No-
vember 12, Miss Margaret Fraw-
ley, of the American Friends Serv-
ice Committee, spoke on the relief
work carried on by the committee
in France during the war period.
Before the German advance the
committee was situated in Paris
where it cared for and transported
Spanish refugees from the south.
When the drive began the bureaus
were increased to three, and sta-
tidned, at vantage points in France.
When Parisians left the city in
early June children had to be
evacuated to the south. The com-
mittee left money and files behind
and changed their base to Bor-
deaux.
Food was distributed through
centers, establishing packet service
and colony care. where children
were fed and an attempt made to
keep the families together.
The committee needs American
aid now -although possibilities of
getting supplies to France because
of the British blockade and the
American embargo are slim.
!Vineent Sheean
Presents Views
On War Situation
Lench Collapse,
Spirit of English,
German Army Discussed
Goodhart Auditorium, Wednes-
day, November 7th. — Vincent
Sheean, personal historian and
foreign correspondent, who has
just returned from England and
France, spoke in the first event of
the College Entertainment Series.
Mr. Sheean declared that, since the
collapse of the French Republic,
the invasion of England by Ger-
many has become inevitable. Eng-
land, under Churchill, has experi-
enced a miraculous resurgence of
the will to resist, but ‘she cannot
continue, unaided, indefinitely. if
England falls, the United States
will be “the only remaining power
on earth which represents the gov-
ernment Hitler has planned to de-
stroy.”
The reasons for France’s col-
lapse are “not without their lessons
for this republic also.” French
post-war politics were marked by
sharp party cleavages*and disloy-
alties, as well as a-cynical popular
distrust of all politicians. Foreign
policy was equally ill-advised. For
a time France scorned the Weimar
republic and all German attempts
at reconstruction; but. after Hit-
ler’s rise appeasement became the
goal. Petain’s plans for a purely
defensive war were carried out;
the Maginot Line, that “sunken
city,” was flung uselessly across
the border from Belgium to Switz-
erland. ee

Infirmary’s Transformation Made Exciting
By Modern Decor and Inquisitive Workmen
By Marguerite Bogatko, ’41
An infirmary is an infirmary is
an infirmary but have you seen the
néw 1940 Bryn Mawr version? A
transformation has taken place in
the old drab building we all knew
and feared. The lower part of the
building has been completely re-
modeled and the second floor has
been redone and enlarged by ten
rooms. :
Everything is. bigger, better,
lighter. Downstairs there are two
outside doors where: once there was
one; the dispensary_has become
large and airy; every office. now
has its special examining room.
The new waiting room is remjni-
scent of a Rhoads show ease. The
isolation. unit, also on the ground
floor, is completely new.
Upstairs all the new rooms have
easy chairs, moveable over-the-bed-
tables, and Venetian blinds. In the
new bathrooms a note of pure lux-
ury is struck, with not only a bath
tub-in each,- but a shower as well.
The sun room looks like*something
out of the movies with—its white,
built-in’ book shelves and _ its ex-
panse of window. Various walls
are painted pale but cheerful col-
ors and the whole atmosphere has
become one of sweetness and light.
Of course, there have been a few
small difficulties. The painters
and the carpenters were so enthusi-
astic during the process of remodel-
ing that they sometimes became
rather a problem. We remember
the case of a girl, who shall be
nameless, who had to have some
splinters removed from a very deli-
cate portion of her anatomy..After
a good deal of searching a nice
quiet secluded spot was found. The
operation Was barely under way
when the door opened to admit a
bewildered looking little man in
overalls. It was a’ very bad mo-
ment. Even now you can’t be quite
sure, but the new infirmary seems
worth a few moments of anxiety.

college to come and inspect its new
improvements Saturday afternoon

*Jll-Defined Phrases”
On June 18, thirteen students at the University of Michigan
received a letter containing one sentence: “It is the decision of the
authorities of the University of Michigan that you cannot be read-
mitted to the University.” No grounds were given for their dis-
missal, Many of the students were members of honor societies,
almost all had high scholastic records, several were graduate
students about to enter careers in psychological research and social
work, One thing they had in common. Each had engaged in some
political activity such as helping to unionize college employees,
protesting anti-negro discrimination, organizing peace activities, or
working with the American Student Union.
The commencement address of Mr. Ruthven, president of the
University, points to the underlying purpose behind the dismissal.
“Michigan,” he said, “will not be confused by sophistries built
around meaningful but ill-defined phrases such as ‘freedom of the
press’ and ‘freedom of speech,’ but will deal firmly, wert fear
or favor, with subversive or so-called ‘fifth column activities.’
At the news of this mass dismissal, President Ruthven was
e
besieged with letters from the students demanding an explanation,
asking for an express statement of charges held against them, for
evidence for the validity of these charges and an open hearing.
These demands were flatly denied. A storm of criticism fell upon
him from progressive educators and defenders of civil liberties.
President Ruthven simply replied that the authorities were
acting on “definite evidence that these students. were seriously
interfering with the work of their colleagues,” and that the
University would “continue to defend freedom of speech and the
right of free assembly, in spite of the fact that there are usually a
number of students who seem to feel that freedom means the right
to do anything they want to do.” Evidently the right to act on an
opinion differing from his was not included in President Ruthven’s
concept of freedom.
To cap the situation, the University authorities forbid the
Michigan Daily, student newspaper, to print a single story on the
subject of the thirteen excluded students, although the news had
been carried by the Associated Press to all corners of the country.
When the controversy fled to the public letter column of the Daily,
the editors were commanded to discontinue that column.
In June, the students attempted to organize a meeting on the
subject “Civil Liberties in the United States Today,” at which
Reverend Owen A. Knox and. Herbert Witt were scheduled to
speak. They were denied the use of a University room on the
‘there were ajready enough lectures planned at the
University for the summer.’
Led by the Michigan Committee for Academic Freedom, wide-
spread and indignant public pressure has urged the University
authorities to revoke their stand. Hearings on the case are now in
progress, and the significance of its outcome is evident.
In time of crisis, it is these first infringements on hard-won
rig‘its and -civil liberties that break the way for a flood of curtail-
ments and find apology.’ in-such words as “unity,” “freedom without
“anti-fifth column activities.” We discard these
apologies because we know how vulnerable our liberty becomes in
times of growing hysteria and thoughtless fear. *

Excerpts from Exile
United States Leadership
Is-Considered Essential
To Turn War Tide
Consélho Municipal,
Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.
November 2, 1940.
Dear COLLEGE NEws:
When I arrived in Rio early in
October it was the beginning of the
rainy season, and I confess that
for a time even’ this marvellously
beautiful harbor seemed somewhat
cheerless. Then word came to me
of the golden autumn you were
having and I was a bit envious.
Now your autumn is past and the
glamorous days of Rio are about to
begin.
But glamor hasn’t much appeal
when the fate of nations is in the
balance. . Brazilians, certainly the
Cariocas of Rio at any rate, are
friendly and sympathetic people.
Just now their emotions are deeply
stirred; and..,,while their Govern-
ment is strictly “neutral” they
themselves, as individual citizens,
are hoping and praying for the vic-
tory of Great Britain. A few ultra
conservatives who lined up with
the Nazis some years ago when it
seemed that their regime would be
a bulwark against Communism,
still stand by them, but they are
only a fractional minority. To
them, of course, must be added the
German and Italian elements which
form a considerable part of the
population of southern Brazil but
are not conspicuous here in Rio.
The leading newspapers, while
refraining from publishing denun-
ciatory editorials, leave no doubt
from the way in which they pre-
sent the news where their sympa-
thies lie. Nazi doctrines of race
supremacy and domination evoke a
profound revulsion down here,
partly because the people are fun-
damentally Christian and partly
because of the amalgamated char-
acter of their own racial composi-
tion. For the moment there is the
greatest sadness over the surren-
der of France to Nazi control. So
greatly has France’ been admired
by Brazilian intellectuals that
many of them appear to be person-
ally humiliated by the conduct of
the Vichy Government. George

Bernanos, known to all students of
French, is now living in Brazil and
has been carrying in the press a
series of appeals to French ideal-
ism that are so rarely beautiful
that I hope they will be published
later for wider circulation.
All eyes turn to the leadership
of the United States. For the
United States alone has the power
to turn the tide of war; and the
feeling here is that responsibility
must of necessity go with power.
Four months ago there was a fear
that the American people, in their
desire to keep out of war, might be
prepared to “appease” a conquer-
ing Germany and make friends
with the mammon of iniquity, as
Brazil itself would, of course, have
no other choice but to do. But now
that the United States has taken a
definite stand from which there is
no retreat, the great interest down
here is in the scale of our prepara-
tions; and the speed with which the
manufacture of airplanes is being
pushed dominates every other re-
action to the war situation. Almost
every day I am asked how many
planes we are now making; so that

Lost and Found Office Exists
for Students’ Convenience
And Benefit
To the Editor of the College News:
The Lost and Found is located
in the basement of Taylor next to
the Bookshop, and is open from
one-thirty P.M. to two on week-
days. Few students seem to re-
;alize these. simple facts. Fewer
students give any indication of
knowing that the place to put
found articles is in or, if too large,
‘under the box for that purpose
which hangs next to the door of
the Lost and Found.
The Lost and Found could be
an efficient medium for returning
mislaid articles if it had. the co-
operation of only fifty per cent of
the undergraduates. This letter .is
a plea for the ‘cooperation of the
entire student body.
If articles of any great value,
such as jewelry, are found, they
should be brought down during the
time the office is open. The chances
are that the manager will know
immediately to whom they belong.
Please cooperate. It will be to
your benefit.

Have you ever heard of a book
by James Joyce called Ulysses? I
am sure you must have, because it
has been'a standard of comparison
for nearly every modern novel
written afterwards. Book reviews,
literary essays, college courses have
mentioned it—have dealt with it,
in fact, quite thoroughly. Some
eight to ten large volumes have
been written in its defense, criticiz-
ing and interpreting it. It is un-
doubtedly, you will be told, one of
the most important novels of the
last fifty years.
Did you know that the Bryn
Mawr College Library has two
copies of this valuable book? You
were sure of that. But did you
know that the undergraduates are
not allowed to read it unless for a
specified report, this implying per-
mission from -a«professor?
Whether the library keeps its
Shakespeare under lock and key, I
have not inquired. But I think
that to restrict the use of a book
which may be purchased at any
bookstore is outrageously and _ in-
excusably childish.
Perhaps the college thinks I can jj,
satisfy my frustrated longings
with a volume of “Gone With the
Wind.” I am sorry, but I have
already read it. There is only one
course left to me then; I must go
to the village and buy myself a five-
cent copy of “Love Story.”

Mobilizing Education
By Isabel Martin, ’42
The United States must be be-
coming really hysterical if institu-
tions of higher education start
mobilizing for war. Russell Sage
College has mobilized both students
and faculty for a “wide-range,
comprehensive, total program for
defense.” The program is de-
signed to defeat aggressivism from
without py strengthening the moral
and the military system of the
United States, to consider all po-
tential contributions, and to co-
ordinate activities.
To do this Russell Sage will
train its women to be able to par-
ticipate actively and helpfully in
American war work. They are
carrying out this program by in-
stituting five general types of
activity.
The first is an Institute for the
Defense of Democratic Principles}
Among Women. The function of
this institute is to train leaders of
thought, to conduct student-faculty
forums, forums for community
groups, and to present radio dis-
cussions dramatizing the heroic
role women can play in war ac-
tivities.
The second is an Expansion of
the Curriculum to include courses
in nursing and health work, and the
third is: to.turn out nurses, food
experts, merchandizing experts, in-
terpreters, teachers, health and
physical leaders. _
The fourth is health training for
the women of the community to}
help them meet war tension and re-
sponsibility with strong bodies and
stable minds.
The fifth is to establish a wom-
‘en’s registry for those who are
ready to go into volunteer. war
service. ’
This program may not seem any-

the question of whether women’s

whether this preparation should

Mercury represented the principle

History of Genetics
Discussed in Third
Of Science Lectures
Dalton, Thirsday, November 7.—
In the third lecture of the History
of Science series, Miss Gardiner,
of the Biology Department, spoke
on genetics. Although the study
of genetics proper, she said, is a
comparatively new ‘science, even
primitive man must have wondered
about generation. The _ earliest
theories were that frogs came from
mud, and insects from decaying
matter. Aristotle first stated that
all vertebrates were born from the
egg, and in plant life, Theophras-
tus, learning of pollination from
the Assyrians, found that two trees
were necessary for reproduction.
In the late Middle Ages arose a
group of Herbals, corresponding in
botany to the Lapidaries of miner-
alogy. The Herbals listed plants
and their medicinal power. The
most potent herb was the Man-
drake, which, with its biforcated
stem, resembled man. It could
only be gathered on a dark night
with the help of a large dog, and
even at that it screamed as it was
uprooted.
The intensive study of living
matter could advance only as fast
as the means of observing it. Sen-
eca in 63 A.D. realized the mag-
nifying power of glass spheres
filled with water. In the thir-
teenth century Roger Bacon’s ex-
amination of the laws of refraction
led to the widespread use of spec-
tacles and magnifying glasses; but
it was not until the early seven-
teenth century when a young Dutch
boy accidentally placed two lenses
in a hollow tube that the micro-
scopic world became available.
Malpighi, in the middle of the
century, was the first to put the
microscope to a biological use. He
and Robert. Hooke, who discovered
and named the cell, and Leeuwen-
hoek made many miscellaneous ob-
servations during the rest of the
century. In the eighteenth cen-
tury biologists, disturbed by the
spherical abberations of early
lenses and confronted by so much
unsorted data, turned from further
microscopical study to classifica-
tion.
Cytology, the study of the cell,
advanced in the nineteenth cen-
tury. Nuclei and chromosomes
were identified and cell division was
observed. A. chaotic series of
theories was developed. Pasteur
was fighting the popular theory of
spontaneous generation, and Dar-
win was working out his own idea
of heredity, in which all parts of a
parent contributed little bits of
protoplasm to the egg, which in
turn passed these bits on to all
parts of the offspring. During
this time of argument and confus-
ing generalities, Gregor Mendel,
unknown to most scientists, was
carrying on his exact, carefully
tabulated experiments on the hy-
bridization of peas and formulat-
ing his laws of heredity.
Unfortunately, Mendel’s work
was not recognized until the early
twentieth century. By that time
de Vries, Johannsen
geneticists had worked out their
own theories, which Mendel’s laws
served to clarify and reinforce.
Since then investigation of chromo-
somes has been advanced by the
experiments_on fruit flies of Mor-
gan, the American geneticist. Al-
though it is too tiny to be seen,
the gene, which is the unit of char-
acteristic, has been identified. In

Discussion of State
Held in Club Meeting
Common Room, Sunday.—One
sharp division of opinion marked a
student discussion on’ “Man~-and
the State” sponsored by the Phil-
osophy Club. The discussion was
led by Ruth Lehr, ’41. Although
it was agreed that the function of
the state was “the promotion of
conditions for the good life of the
individual,” there were different
views on the method of achieving
an ideal state.
It was proposed that the ideal
state might be achieved under the
guidance of a “philosopher-king”
class, who would force the ma-
jority to do what was good for it,
individually and as a whole. This
force would be applied during a
“transition period,’ as a “cruel
means” to a good end, until the
majority of men was drawn up
high enough to know itself what
was good for it, and act rightly of
itself,
Advocates of majority rule, on
the other hand, expressed faith in
education as a means of attaining
the desired “better state of better
individuals.” The need for improved
facilitiés for education was shown
to be bound up with the need for
general social legislation. The
swing of resources into national
armament was noted as a block in
progress along lines of further
social legislation.
spite of a recent flash back to
Darwin’s idea on the part of Rus-
sian scientists, Mendel’s laws with
their modern amplifications form
the accepted basis of genetics—a
science to which the other sciences
are making increasingly important
contributions.

Invasion of England |
Predicted by ip heean
Continued from Page One
Germany’s army had been re-
stricted at Versailles to 100,000
men, therefore she concentrated on
increasing her ‘mechanical weapons.
The mobile striking force of tank
columns was realized. De Gaulle
as well as the English General
Fuller had foreseen the potentiali-
ties of such a weapon, but their
governments refused to adopt the
new methods. :
The capture of the Channel ports
and the surrender of Paris has
opened the way for the bombing
and the invasion of England; if
Germany had invaded in June, the
attack would have been successfyl.
In June the British Home Guard
was training with sticks, London
was defended only by civilians, and
sandbag emplacements were bare
of machine guns. England’s only
defense was the R. A. F.—“knights
in armour, not like anything we
have seen in modern times.” That
the first two months of the battle
for Britain were “a kind of victory
for England” is due to them.
But it is Churchill, “England’s
great man,” who has pulled his
country together. He has made
possible the great increase in pro-
duction, in national unity, and in
determination not to surrender, He
has made his countrymen feel “the
historic gravity of the moment;”
when he promised to carry;on the
fight “along the beaches, from vil-
lage to village and house to house”
he spoke for “every mind and heart
in the island.”
“The German invasion will take
place in the spring.” There is no
other alternative. All along the
French coast the Germans are
tfaining in invasion exercises—one
being a drill in “how to drown
economically.” With her pilots, her
Prime Minister, and some aid from
America, England has so far re-
mained unconquered. But unless
the United States can see their
way to aiding her more fully, the
spring invasion may be successful.

Committee Delegated
To Select Material
For New Book Room
The New Book Room, now in the
West Wing of the Library, is un-
der the supervision of a committee
consisting of Miss Park, Miss Reid,
Miss Stapleton, Hester Corner, ’41,
and one graduate member. This
committee arrangés the room and
¢liooses the books.
This year, the money allotted for
new books was spent during the
summer so that the room might not
seem too empty this fall. There is
still so much shelf space to fill that
Miss Reed may have special. library
funds used to buy standard works
to remain there permanently.
The committee wishes to urge
the students to be more careful
about taking out new books because
a great many have been mislaid in
past years. New books should be
signed for in the same manner as
books from the stacks, and the slips
should be dropped in the box be-
side the door. Suggestions for ad-
ditions to the New Book Room. list
should be submitted to Hester Cor-
ner.
