Hindemith Concert]



The Four Sonatas Presented
Are Decreasingly Radical
In Treatment



FIRST TWO WORKS SHOW
INTRICATE STRUCTURE



Goodhart, February 28; —. Those
who went to hear Paul Hindemith
expecting to criticize him as ‘an
opinionated iconoclast, or perhaps hop-
ing to find in his music a completely
new musical
quite disappointed: True, if they left|
after half the concert, they might |
have gone away convinced that he
was incomprehensible and lacking in
beauty. The works, in order of play-
irig, were successively less radical.
Mr.. Hindemith, assisted by Miss
Hoffmann-Behrendt. at the
pidno, presented four sonatas: .The
first for Viola d’Amour and piano,
the second for piano alone, one for
viola alone, and the last combining
viola and piano.

The first two works reared in the
Bach-Beethoven-Brahms tradition, off-
ered the greatest difficulty to the
average listener. Not only was their
structure intricate, but they lacked
both marked rhythmic pattern and
distinct melodic line, so that there
was little which the listening ear
might follow. They seemed to pre-
sent only a great mass of harmonic
and rhythmic material interesting in
its detail, rather than as a whole.

This. was net true of the third
sonata, for solo viola, which con-
tained distinct and traditional rhyth-
mic balance, sharp differentiation of
mood between the - movements, and an
almost romantic harmonic basis. The
last work also, although more com-
plex,’ could not be ‘called radical in
its conception.

Throughout,, more or less strict
sonata form was maintained. But
there was considerable variation with-

Haverford’s Glee Club

Gives Varied Concert



Harmonizing of Quartet
Heard in Sea Chanties

Close



Music Room, February 26.—The

-| Haverford College Glee Club pre-

sented a, widely varied program in its

concert here. .The greater range of
tone and harmony possible with tenors
and basses rather than with sopranos
and altos was apparent in contrast
with the voices usually heard at Bryn
Mawr. Starting with a group of
chiefly classical ‘music the Glee Club
continued with a cello soloist, negro
splituals, a violin soloist, a quartette
ing sea chanties, and the Anal
college song.

In ‘the first group Palestrina’s O
Bone Jesu was outstanding, as well
as di Lasso’s Echo Song. The: Bach
chorale Jesu, Joy of’ Man’s Desiring
suffered from the lack of a virtuoso

director Robert Bird,
written chiefly for the piano.
liam’ Velte, *41, followed with three
cello solos. The two spirituals were
the amusing Animals a-Comin’ and the
less familiar Lord, I Want to Be More
Lovin’. Herbert T. Darlington, ’38,
explaining that he had last performed
it at an old ladies’ home, played the
Londonderry Aimas a violin solo.

The most applauded part of the
program was the ‘quartet which sang
the sea chanties Hight Bells, Aus-
tralia, and Rio Grande. For lack of
time other songs in their repertoire
were omitted, to be sung later during
an intermission at the dance which
followed the concert in Wyndham.
The ‘choruses from Pinafore were
sung with great enthusiasm and en-
livened by the dramtic soloists. Sincé
most collegiate songs have sentimen-
tal value only, the All College Medley
was an unfortunate choice. The
closing Haverford Harmony was sung
with enough fervor to be an exception
to this rule. This is the first time
that Haverford has givens a concert
for Bryn Mawr, but it may well have
established -a~ precedent:

Mary Ann Blodgett Bodkins, ’53, Tells

i Parable of

Decline of Literature



When the Flashlight Rejected
‘Her Story She Knew End
Was in View



In a recent interview, Mrs. George
Bodkins, ’53 (formerly Mary Ann
Blodgett) “disclosed a very touching

__ incident which she felt had a great

deal of moral significance for ‘us to-

' day. She helped us in locating rele-

vant data in an old trunk and asked
that it be published with explanations
of her own for the edification of the
present student body.

As an. undergraduate, so Mrs. Bod-
kins assured us, she wanted more
than anything else to contribute a
story to the “Flashlight. Having
heard much of the editorial board
through .gossip,. rumor, hearsay and
other reliable sources, she realized
that her. opus must be modern and
full of world-meaninglessness. So she
docked her other work and wrote - it
over a period on gloomy nights and
days.

At the next small of the Flash-
light board, the editor picked up

‘Mary’s story from the huge pile of
- material before her.

her wild black cyrls, she began to

Eleanor Bliss Discusses
' Laboratory Positions



Chief Disadvantages



Common Room, February 28.—Miss
Eleanor Bliss, speaking on Laboratory
Work at a Vocational Tea, outlined
the’ positions open to women in scien-
tifie fields.« Miss Bliss is an alumna
of Bryn Mawr of the class of 1921.
She and Dr. Long, of Johns Hopkins,
were the first to report on the use
of sulfanilamide in streptococcus ‘in-

tection. -

A woman going into scientific work
faces three great difficulties, Miss
Bliss stated. Good places are hard
‘to get; the pay is frequently low and
the chance of promotion far less than:
for a man. Many teaching jobs are
open to women, Miss Bliss said. Ca-
veers in medicine, either _in teaching,
research or care of the sick, are. pre-
ferred by many, but are less avail-
able to women. There are plenty of
laboratory technician jobs, in which
women do blood tests, routine chemical
analysis, or bacteriology. The pay
for this work is low, unless secre-
tarial training fits the girl to be an
assistant to a private doctor.

Miss Bliss said that in industry as
in other fields men are usually given
preference, but she named several big
companies such as duPont that have
a few women on their technical staffs.
The government Bureau of Standards
employs many women, in_ secondary

positions.
The training needed deuaili on the
job. .,Technicians pick up_ their

isisowlednve in the laboratory, except in
bacteriology, where a special technique
is necessary, beyond what is obtained
in most college biology courses. For
obtaining positions better than that of
technician, a higher degree is a great
help.

Science as a profession. is not. well
‘paid, Miss Bliss said in conclusion,
but it offers certain great satisfac-
tions.. The laboratory worker has
much more individual freedom in-her.

Bryn Mawr Summer School Emphasizes
Training of Leaders, Not Mass Education



Orientation of Itidividual and Her Development as a Creative
Member of Her Community is Most Important Aim
At Present Time as at Founding



STUDENTS RECRUITED
FROM ENTIRE NATION



Common: Robi, February 24 ution:
éenteen pébple’ met at an informal tea
sponsored by:the Bryn Mawr League’s
Summer School Committee. Sylvia
Wright, ’38, Bertha Goldstein, ’38, and
Martha Van Hoesen, ’39, undergradu-
ate members of the committee, spoke
on the history of the Summer School,

its purpose, and the position of attend-
ing undergraduates. The object of
the ‘meeting was, they said, to create

an informed group capable of answers

ing the questions ofthe campus at
large when the Summer School drive
began, ,

Although the Summey School has
no formulated purpose, Bertha Gold-
stein said, its present administrators
adhere to the ideals of its founders.
Miss Thomas envisaged the coopera-
tion of college women and women
workers as a great step towards in-
ternational justice, and peace, and
with that ideal the school was founded.
Even if all the other women’s colleges
had established ‘similar institutions,
as Miss Thomas hoped, the number of
people. benefited would have been
relatively small. Therefore; her ob-
jective was not mass education, but
the training of leaders. Thé emphasis
at that time»was, as it,is now, on
the orientation of the individual and
on her development as a creative mem-
ber of a community.

The Summer School is administered
by a committee of 12, chaired -by a
thirteenth member, who is Miss Park.
Money for the school is collected en-
tirely by a yearly drive, since there
are no Summer School funds.. The
trustees of the College lend the cam-
pus andthe college name. The Y.
W. C. A.’s of various cities send a
few. girls .on scholarships, and the_I.
L. G. usually sends one. Vassar has
already contributed about 700 dollars,
Sylvia Wright said. Most of the nec-
essary endowment must be raised by
personal contributions. Two hundred
dollars are needed to finance one girl.

Unlike most schools of its kind, the
Bryn Mawr Summer School recruits
its students from the whole nation and
the enrollment always includes three
or four girls from. foreign countries.
Negro students have been admitted
since 1926. The board tries to have
enough girls with the same industrial
background to insure a coordinated
student body. They try also, Bertha
Goldstein said, to take more than one
from a given locality. A Summer

School graduate is expected to take

an active part in community life when
she returns to her home, and she can
do this more™ easily backed, by some-
one who knows for what she is work-
ing. one
coe Nee frviculum is plastic; its key-
note is adaptability. English and eco-




-|nomics are the basic subjects because

they are of most practical interest to
the students. -Secondary subjects are
history, science and hygiene, taught,
Bertha. Goldstein said, from a “func-
tional” point of view. That is, the
material is presented in a form most
useful to a worker as a worker.
Thus in a public speaking course, 4
union member develops her speech for
use in a union meeting.

All the speakers stressed the neces-
sary difference between ‘the usual aca-
demic method of presenting material
and that used by the Summer. School
teachers. Many of these are from pro«

MISS HILDA W. SMITH
ADDRESSES STUDENTS



Common Room, February 28.—Miss
Hilda W. Smith, foymer dean of Bryn
Mawr College and former head of the
Summer School, and at present_spe-
cialist in workers’ education’ with thé-
W. P. A., described the sweep of new

adult education which is going for-
ward all over the country. In answer
to increasing demands from workers,
teaghers are supplied, so far as .is
possible, when and where they are
wanted and must adjust the curricu-
lum and teaching methods to the’

needs of groups with specialized
‘problems. :
Adults seeking education know

4 what they want to learn, said Miss :

Smith. They have a specific prob-
lem which they are interested in
studying, and always aim to. trans-

jlate the material taught them into

action. If constructive answers to °
their questions are not forthcoming,
they quickly become disinterested and «-.
discouraged. The teacher has the
difficult task of actomodating individ-
ual needs, maintaining a practical
curriculum with up to date material,
and giving a solid, generalized back-
ground.

The Bryn Mawr Summer,, School
from the beginning has concentrated
on careful analysis of methods and
aims of teaching. Its teachers, Miss
Smith emphasized, with the coopera-
tion of the students, have built up a
curriculum and supplied suitable ma-
terial in pamphlets and books. This
foundation work has been the model
for national. expansion of workers’ ,
education. It has made possible the
development of a dynamic, construc-
tive movement from a mass of pre-
viously inarticulate desires.

“Workers’ education,’ said Miss
Smith, “is the whole field of ‘social
sciences, but this does not mean that
only economics is taught.” The sub-
jects covered are as varied as the in-
terests and occupations of the work-
ers. The teaching must be intimately
linked with all particular develop-
ments in local politics, new housing
regulations, unionization, social se-
curity, and agricultural innovations,
as well.as the ordinary, problems- of
every worker as a consumer, because
all these forces affect the workers’
daily lives. “Once aware of the
effect, the workers want to know
more, to be able to do more.”

The most fundamental knowledge

‘sought is the ability to read and

write. The “black splotches of high |

PBL OPINION





Dear News, ‘
Don’t you think it’s a pity not to

| give the author of Wits End a by-

line? A person with style like hers
ought to be brought out in the light
and looked at. She has the incom-
prehensibility of Yeats, the obscurity
of T. 6. Eliot, and is in as much of a
dither as Meredith.
You can tell by the authors on my
mind I’m about to sign myself;

To the Editor of the College News:
We who once worked ourselves into,
a wild state of collapse over a Fresh-
man Show can imagine how the fresh-
men must have felt when they read

the criticism of their efforts in last]

week’s News.
-- Criticism is expected, for such a
production, prepared as it is in two

| weeks, has never and can never be

intended as a professional perform-
ance. Criticism, however; which is not
only not constructive, but even face-
tious is "inexcusable.

We admit that the criticisms were
deserved, but was it necessary . to
flaunt..the flaws as positively while
ignoring the praiseworthy points? In
such a comment as “against this sul-
try background minced two
attractive if meaningless lovers,”
would it not have been fairer to the
actors. to have omitted “if meaning-
less?” We were truly entertained
by this delightful couple and to us it
was irrelevant whether they were
vital to the plot or not.

It is well that the critic confessed
that she was asleep. Otherwise there
wouuld seem to be no excuse for one
to slide over so carefully without
praise, the truly excellent parts of the
production. Farce without jokes?
Perhaps she missed, “Suspicion puts
tacks in the bedroom slippers of life.”
Surely few, Freshmen Shows have
given such ‘a,smooth and finished per-
formance. quickness with which
actors picked up their cues was. al-
most professional. And when have we
seen on Goodhart stage such a well
directed scene as that around ‘the
ping-pong table?

However, it is not the excellencies
which the critic failed to point out,
nor--the-actual-criticisms which were
made, for, as we have said, they were
justified, but it was the whole tone
of the article which made us see red.

It seems to us that when News re-
views become vehicles for displaying
an individual cleverness and blasé at-
titude toward college tradition at the
expense of an honest account of things
as they are, criticism loses its value.

Such a supercilious attitude toward
Freshmen Shows as has been pre-
valent in the News in the past few
years certainly shows a lack of sym-
pathy and understanding of the aims
and purposes of this nidscrbagie pro-
duction.

Although we were hardly rolling in
the aisles, yet we thoroughly enjoyed

tourselves—and we feel ourselves in-

debted. tothe freshmen for a most en-

tertaining evening. .

Theater Review







Shadow and Substance,.by Paul
Vincent Carroll, has been enthusias-

New York newspapers and magazines.
Mr. Carroll has written a hearty
Irish article in the Theatre Section of
the New York Times; in short, the
play does not even needa pat on the
shottider to commend it to those who
have not seen it. It is a moving dra-
matization of the struggle between the
credulous, childlike Irish temperament
and rigid Catholicism, and-their fail-
ure; but it is so much more, that we
are left at the end of the-third act
wondering what will happen to Ire-
land if these two cogent schools of
thought collapse so completely.

The side of ecclesiastical strictness
is taken by Sir Cedric Hardwicke as
the Canon, El Greco’s stern, red-robed
cardinal suddenly endowed with life.
Thin-lipped, bland Sir’ Cedric (young-

est knight on the British stage) is so}:

biting, so beautifully classic, that he
makes the audience like, rather than
hate, the Canon’s lack of understand-
ing and his critical mental blindness.
But it is he who indirectly kills what
he loves, his servant, Brigid (Julie
Haydon), who is inspired by visions
of her patron saint, St. Brigid; and
also what he hates, the spirit of edu-
cational progress, embodied by a
young, forward-looking school-master.
In the end, he is left alone, broken
by the death of Brigid; the school-
master is stoned from the v llage by
people who are supposedly being true
to their narrowminded faith. The
Canon sees in the grief of the school-
master. a possible pillar of strength
against which he can lean, but even
this is denied him.

The villagers themselves, instead of
sympathizing with the spirituality
which is evidently a national trait, ac-
cuse Brigid of madness,,and the Can-
on, who is constantly saying, “Brigid,
you.are the Canon’s friend,” suggests
that her visions may be visitations of
an evil spirit. In fact, the hundred
lines of thought that are prompted in
the. first two acts, lead, we think, to
an inconclusive end, and though we
are perhaps acquainted with one
aspect of Ireland, we ‘are much bet-
ter_acquainted with a remarkably
subtle character, the Canon.

But apparently nothing can stand
against the corroding force of tradi-
tional Irish stubbornness, which turns
in on itself as ruthlessly as it attacks
an outer influence. When the Canon’s
half-Spanish orthodoxy defeats itself,
when beautiful, fragile Brigid, who
alone is representative of the more
lovable side of the Irish character,
is killed by a flying stone, when the
school-master is driven away; there.
remain only hot-headed, ignorant vil-
lage people, shepherded by their foot-
ball-playing curates. The play has
steadily regressed because one man
has refused to move forward, and
especially. because the people to whom
the Canon seems opposedsimply—be-
cause’ they lack his civilized polish,
are behind the half of him that does
not fail. It is the half that dismissed
the school-master, whose spirit is too
expansive for this constricted _com-
munity, ‘a’ community which © ‘guaran- |"
tees itself against growing by lopping
off its nese ch branches.

THE PERSONAL PEREGRINA-
TIONS OF ALGERNON SWINE-
BURNE STAPLETON-SMITH or
Lost in a.London Fogs

The younger Mrs. Stapleton-Smith
was. washing bottles in the little pan-
try adjoining .her daughter’s nursery.
on her hew London house one sunny
Spring afternoon, when Algae was
showing Anne de Montmorency at the
International Horse Show at Olympia.
Just before luncheon she had given
the ‘nurse leave to go to the New
Zealand-Lancashiie cricket matches’ at
the Oyal, because the. nurse’s cousin
was bowling for New Zealand. Every-
one in the house was gone except the
second footman who was on pantry-
duty downstairs, and Mary’ Anne had
‘given’ K. Lavender her two o’clock
bottle and was now washing bottles
and formula-dishes. She was singing







a little tuneless song as she splashed

about,in the suds, addressed to her
little daughter who was gurgling
peacefully in the pink- draped bassinet
next door. ”

“Algae isn’t coming home to-
night. . . . I have to mix your -for-
mula—the laundry hasn’t come.
You’re going to be five months old
tomorrow!”’ °

Presently she finished, cated the
shining rows of clean“bofftles in the
cupboard, and snapped the last
sterilizedgum rubber nipple on to
the last carefully filled bottle of K.
Lavender’s formula. She wiped her
hands. on her motherhubbard and
skipped into the nursery. Stepping
over the threshold, she was frozen
with horror and stood rooted to her
tracks; for she saw bending over her
baby’s dainty bassinet a dark, veiled
and mysterious woman in a trailing,
diaphanous robe.

Mary Anne screamed in terror, and
the woman slowly turned and bent a
level gaze on the young mother’s fear-
distorted face.

“You are Mary Anne Linsey-Wool-
sey-Stapleton-Smith,” she pronounced
in a deep and level tone, “You do not

)

know. me. I have come from far
away.”

“Who—who are. you?” faltered
Mary Anne. “What are you doing
here?”

“I have come to see the child,” said
the dark woman. “My prophets have
told -me she is to be a Great and Un-
usual Personage. I am the Princess
Ina Rockpruf, of the ancient Egyptian
House of Karnak. I knew your hus-
band before he was married.”
“But—he never told ae” said
Mary Anne, feebly.
“T have a feeling that thepe“is much
he doesn’t tell you, Child—,” said the
lean princess, “but never fear—he will
be with you at the end. There will
be a sublimation or transfiguration.
There was an unexpected note of ten-
derness in her voice as she ceased
speaking. Mary Anne was seized by a
great wave of inexplicable. sadness,

hér motherhubbard. When she looked
up again, the dark woman had van-
ished, and K. Lavender was laughing
a deep, childish chuckle. Mary Anne
snatched. her up. into. her arms and
pressed her tightly to her bosom, sob-
bing inarticulately. Lying on the pink
coverlet of the baby’s-ed was a dark

College Employees Are
Put on New Schedules

Hours Changed to Cotagily With

Pennsylvania Labor Law





(Especially contributed by Miss

Charlotte Brandon Howe.)

Within the past week the College
has put into operation in halls of resi-
dence and college buildings, schedules
of employees which must meét the re-
quirements of the recent labor law in
Pennsylvania. Tentative schedules
which covered the work of women were
introduced in the fall; the present
schedules include’the work of both men
and women.

The five main provisions of the law
as it: affects edycational institutions
are: A six day. week of 48 hours; a
daily spread of not more than 13
hours; a day off each week, defined as
24 consecutive hours; not. more than
five hours ,of work without. a rest
period of half an hoiir;-and definitely
scheduled hours for meals and rest
periods for*each employee.

~ In scheduling the work of the men,
the college has used the 48 hour week
and the 18 hour daily spread, but the
schedules for the women are made on
the basis of a 44 hour week and a
12 hour daily spread.

The chief problem in scheduling has
been to cover the work of a college
day from 6.30 A..M. to 10.30 P. M.
without exceeding the 13 hour spread
The positions which
have required the most adjusting have

been those of the cooks, porters and|.

bell-maids. Additions have been made
to the staff, but in order to avoid a
complete extra shift of cooks and
waitresses, meal ‘hours have _ been
changed with an arrangement for a
later breakfast and an earlier dinner.

EXCERPTS From EXILE







(The following. are excerpts from a
letter written by Nancy Wood~to a
friend.—Ed.)

Having a year in Paris, I keep
thinking that I have plenty of time
and therefore I’m being very leisurely
about sightseeing, with the result that
I ‘haven’t seen a great deal up till
now. The weekdays are so involved
with work that seeing things of inter-
est is more or less incidental and
usually consists in studying the Latin
quarter and its types. But Sunday is
entirely consecrated to Paris.

Last Sunday, Peggy Otis and I
started out for the Place des Voges,
which I had never seen, but we quickly
found. we couldn’t get there, because
we were walking along the left bank
and the books were too tempting,. and
I couldn't resist stopping at each case.
Books are my greatest temptation
here. It’s wonderful to think. that
you can often get three or four for
the price of one American book. The
exterior ‘and the print of the books



Work as well:as time has been rear-
ranged and redistributed. The bell
system has been planned so 4hat--part-
of the time is covered by chamber-
maids and waitresses who do not have
full schedules. The chambermaids
and waitresses have been’ assigned
hours when there are the fewest ‘calls
and messages; the busiest times have

maids. Plans have been made for
changes_in pantry and kitchen . ar-
rangements which another year will
make possible by better and more flex-
ible schedules.

The reorganization has been under
the supervision of Miss Isabel Norton,
of New York, who has had expert
training in planning and~ organizing
work for institutions, particularly at
the time of the N. R. A. Her assist-
ance has been invaluable in planning
satisfactory arrangemients for the col-
lege and the best possible schedules



for the employees.

can quite understand why the title

either it’s incomplete or it’s badly
spelled;—I’m speakingmof course, of
the old books, Our walk finally ended
at Notre Dame where I arrived with
frozen feet: from too much book gaz-
ing. It was the first tinie I had been
in the cathedral \this ‘year; we struck
a good moment, because there was a
service going on with lovely music.

I didn’t see a great deal of the Ex-
position, though I did see the Art In-
dépendant and the Chefs d’Oeuvre de
VArt francais. There was a Van Gogh
exhibition also at the Expdsition which
was.very interesting. There were a
couple of pictures which were in Phila-
delphia last year, but what was par-
ticularly interesting was.the way the
pictures were shown, “There was a
room entirely devoted to showing Van
Gogh’s technique and his development.
For example, there were photographic
enlargements of the hands in his va-
rious pictures to show the different
ways in which he treated them.

My greatest exeitement now - is
working at the Bibliothéque Nationale.
I am working for a diploma d’Etudes
Universitaires which requires a small
thesis on something. I wanted to
study-La-Bruyére’s method of analysis
in his psychology d’aprés “Les Carac-

téres,” but I was told that some lit-

erary history research was required;
so now I’m studying. the. influence: of
La Bruyére on the contemporary mor-
alists. That subject is entirely too
vast for my limited time, so tomorrow
I am going to see the professor who
is directing my thesis to see whether
he will allow me to limit it to the
study of the psychology of woman in
La Bruyére and his-imitators. For
the study of these imitators I .got a
card at the Bibliothéque, which is
rather a concession on their part as
they don’t issue one to you unless you
have a B. A. It’s a lot of fun work-
ing there among grey beards or artis-
tic looking youths with long hair, all
of whom I imagine to be geniuses or
savants of some type.

South Germany. Adapts
‘Baroque; Rococo Art



Dr. Waagen Shows it Expresses

Country, Inheritance



The Deanery, February 22.—South
Germany, taking the baroque style
from Italy. and the
France, changed both*to a uniqué and
“true artistic expression of the coun-

try.and its inheritance,” stated Dr.
Ludwig. Waagen, professor of history
of art at the University of Munich ang
one of the leaders of the Junior Year
Students there. This is his first visit
to America.

Baroque, he went on to say, is not
so niuch a style as an embodiment of
a general principle of pathos ‘and
strength. As such, its tlements can
be found in every: period; even the
classie. Strictly, however, ‘the term
baroque is applied only to the elab-
orate, weighty and emotional art
which- succeeded that of the Renais-
sance during the seventeenth century.

Although this art was originally
Italian, its elements were so. intrin-
sically German that it was enthusias-
tically adopted, especially by the aris-
tocracy. The princes and the great
nobles of the time lived in the utmost
magnificence and the most rigid for-
mality. “In fact, as "Dr, Waagen
expressed it, “they spent their time
as slaves to the ceremonials that they
themselves had created..” The state-
liness and dignity of the baroque style
was a perfect expression of this en-
vironment, as_may_ be seen from the
royal bed of the Residence at Munich,
a towering structure émbroidered in
gold on red velvet and surrounded by
a_ balustrade.

At its best, however, the art and
architecture of the great palaces not
only reflects the formality of the court,
but also the feeling that life was en-
joyable that is so characteristic of
the whole period. Indeed, said Dr.
Waagen, if he had to select a single
work as emblematic of the time, he
would choose the long, curving palaée

stairways, the walls lined by immense
mythological frescoes and opening in-

to great entrance halls such as that °

at Luxembourg, with high mirrors,
crystal chandeliers, and red marble
columns.

At the beginning of the: eighteenth
century, the baroque style passed
almost imperceptibly into the lighter
and more. elegant rococo, imported
from France. German rococo, never-
theless, retains hardly a trace of its
origin, It is much less artificial and
extreme, and its decoration is usually
more naturalistic. It particularly in-
fluenced the style of the great palace
parks and gardens.

Neither baroque nor rococo art,
however, was wholly confined to the
aristocracy. Its spirit pervaded every
field of art, always carrying its con-
notation of joyousness and strength.
In music, its representatives were
Handel, Bach, and Mozart. It is
found even in the architecture of small
villages and of churches.

“Ecclesiastical baroque” does not
appeal to Americans in general. They
feel that it is worldly because, in-
stead of trying to lift the thought to
heaven, “it tries with fervent longing
to pull heaven down to earth.” The
interiors of churches such as that of
die Weis, are painted ‘in bright colors,
flooded with light, filled with carving,
and glistening with gold and silver.
The saints are represented as-~cour-
tiers in dress and attitude, Dr. Waa-
gen remarked, and even the Madonna
of the Piéta is a great lady, though
she is still a tragic figure. that moves
one deeply.

A. few weeks’ ago there rolled off
the presses several thousand copies of
a publication which is the result of a
great deal of very careful work on
the part of the Department of Publica-
tions—T he Alumnae Register. This
300 page, paper-bound volume contains
a complete register of Bryn Mawr-
ters compiled under several headings,



the main one being an alphabetical).

section including the names of ‘all liv-
ing alumnae and former students,
given under married names with cross
references of maiden names. - The list
includes also permanent and winter
addresses, .oceupations, children, de-
grees earned at Bryn’ Mawr, and years
in’ which they were taken: (in the
case of hearers and undergraduates
who did not take degrees, the years
of study are indicated.) Following
this voluminous division is a list of
present graduate students, and one of}
undergraduates grouped according. to
classes. Next in order are the class
lists, arranged alphabetically by maid-
en names, with married names follow-
ing, and the names of the’ dead in
italics. Then come in quick succes-
sion a fascinating section showing thé
present geographical distribution of
former ‘students, a surprisingly short
list of unknown. addresses, a list of
the dead, and several tables of sta-
tistics. ;

Mrs. Chadwick-Collins, as Director

of Publications of the College, edited):

the register, The people who worked
on the book were Miss Whitby, Ph. D.
of Bryn Mawr, and Mrs. Jaquette, a;
graduate of Smith, and Miss Blain,|
candidate for the Ph. D. degree at
Bryn Mawr, who was assistant in
charge of statistics. Mrs. Chadwick-
Collins said, “While I consider that
all my assistants did excellent work,
there are: two people whose’ work on

credit: primarily Mrs. Farson who
was in charge of the office and who
did the bulk of the proofing (and when! ;
one considers that there were two
galleys and two page proofs, each-con-
taining the names of 7000 people with
cross references for marriages equal-
ing over 11,000 names, not: including
class lists, geographical distribution,
etc., one can realize what astupend-
ous .proofing job it was), and Polly
Converse, graduate student here, who
had charge of one of the most im-
portant jobs, checking the question-
“naires against the copy.”

The Alumnae Register is usually
published once: every six years;

differing from the register in that
they carry only names, addresses, and
occupations, are printed). This year
the publication of the register was
made more difficult than usual because

of which was a persistent determina-
tion on the part of the editor “to
try in every way to make it accurate,
especially with respect to academic
records. The carrying out of this pur-
pose necessitated not only the great-
est eare in the handling of statistics,
but. also a thorough check ofall in-
formation against college records.”

such a register is to send out to the
most recent known addresses of. all
former students a questionnaire ask-
ing for the information desired. This
year this preliminary work was com-
plicated by the fact that the ques-
tionnaire sent out was based also on
additional statistical information de-
sired. by the Committee of the Seven
Colleges—Barnard, Bryn
Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe,

assar and Wellesley. The

ces of the’ President, the two Deans,
and to the officers of the Alumnae
Association in the hope of finding some
of them before the book was pub-
lished. As a result of this painstak-
ing work, the list of graduate stu-
dents whose addresses are unknown

was materially reduced, and of 3141

recipients of the A. B. degree there
are only 59 whose addresses ' are un-
known. (Of the latter group, three
have: been found by classmates since
the publication’ of the book.)

The work throughout was exacting
and tiring, but’ the staff were con-
tinually being amused and surprised
by facts which came out in the read-
ing ‘of questionnaires: many” people,
for example, have forgotten the years
when they got their degrees, some
have even forgotten that they had

own names and addresses. But the
main source of amusement, inevitably,
was funny combinations of’ names,
which, for obvious reasons, cannot be

Mrs. Chadwick-Collins says, “I feel
that while it is inevitable that there
are mistakes in a publication such as
this, yet it is the best of the publica-
tions of which I have been editor—
that is, since 1924... Out of this Reg-
ister has come a method of proced-
ure which should simplify the prep-
aration of future publications.”



CURRENT EVENTS,

(Gleaned from Mr. Fenwick.)

Common Room, March 1.—A ‘Presi-
dential boom was started in Washing-
ton last week for Paul V. McNutt, of
Indiana. Mr. McNutt is High Com-
missioner of the Philippines and was
formerly Governor of Indiana and
Commander of the American Legion.
Thousands of Indianans staged a
cocktail party in his honor. It was a
complete surprise for him, as he had
just’ repudiated the suggestion of
Presidential ambitions.

In Congress, Mr. Bierman, of Iowa,
is leading a’ movement for revision of
the Neutrality Act. His amendment
provides for discrimination against
nations engaged in war, when violat-
ing -a-treaty. with the United States.
Mr. Bierman has put forth another
resolution to reaffirm our non-recogni-
tion policy, the doctrine that the
United States refuses-to recognize the
validity of territory acquired in viola-
tiom of the Kellogg Pact. This policy
was first put forth in'1923 after the
invasion of Manchuria. Bierman’s
resolution suggests that the United

the interim one or more‘address books,

like Manchuria that have not been
recognized. This would hurt Japan
now because she wants to borrow
money to consolidate the Chinese ter-
ritory she has taken over.

Also under discussion is the ae
lem of the enforcement of the Mtn-
roe Doctrine to prevent Fascist propa-
ganda in South America. Germany
has a 100,000 volt station. that is pow-
erful enough to drown out all existing
stations. The Monroe Doctrine, if ap-
plied to Fascist propaganda, could be
enforced by blockading the South
American coast and preventing Ger-
man boats from trading, but Brazil

Another crisis has taken place “
Europe, though war looks less inevit-
able than it did two weeks ago.
Schuschnigg rose up in the Austrian
parliament and issued a note of defi-|.
ance, insisting on Austrian independ-
ence and promising that Nazi propa-
ganda would not be carried on by
violence. This may not be taken’ too
seriously, since Nazis are in control
both of the police and of propaganda.

in this and therefore the program was

not in the least monotonous although—

but a single fory,,was presented. This
variety was in part due: to the poly-
tonality, the frequent changes of key
within the compositions and to Mr.
Hindemith’s. innovations in musical
punctuation. But aside from this, he
also offered a.rich and fascinating
harmony—original and following the
trend of modern musical thought, al-
though not incompatible with tradi-
tional harmonic standards. This was
more apparent in the last two works
of the. program. The first sonata
lacked harmonic purpose, “leading to
no definite conclusion. At the begin-
ning of the second, one. felt. that. he
had constructed a perfectly plausible
work and then distorted a few har-

There is only a slight yardstick to
measure the capabilities of the per-

nuances of interpretation cannot be
judged upon past performances. It
is reasonable to suppose that the com-
poser knows how to present his own
compositions in their proper light,

illiteracy,” particularly in the South,
are’ gradually being wiped out, but
requests for teachers are still re-
ceived in which the list of signatures
is all written in one hand. a
English, in all its. phases, is de-
manded .to help workers speak and

write effectively, to conduct meetings, |

and to utilize their-leisure time. The
intérest in music and painting, which
has come as more workers want lei-.
sure occupations, may, Miss Smith
believes, bring a very real renaissance
in art.

A large proportion of the students
in the new classes are industrial
workers. Increasing pressure is
being put on them.to join unions and
to become active and responsible rep-
resentatives of the labor movement
in many outside activities—ordinary



civic committees, and national and
state labor conferences.
Most of the workers are entirely

ignorant of simple economic facts, of,

explorers’ problems, or of local and
national politics; they are unable to
express themselves and are easily in-
fluenced by any speaker. ‘‘Intensive
and extensive education is the only
way out,” declared Miss Smith, “if
we are not to have an irresponsible
and chaotic labor movement.”

The Bryn Mawr Summer School

has Thid the foundations for the new

adult education movement in many
ways. It has consistantly maintained

‘a. democratic self-government, sur-

mounting crises arising from violent
divisions of opinion on outside, as
well as school, issues. Other schools
are following this example: Students,
faculty, and directors work together
in organizing classes, in arranging
curriculum, and in making the neces-
sary rules for all. Thus the workers

get experience in essentially practical
democracy.

In a day when everyone talks de-
mocracy but few see it in effect near
at hand, this is, Miss Smith believes,
an invaluable training. The new
schools have followed Bryn Mawr in
maintaining freedom of teaching and
discussion. In workers’ education,
there is a very real struggle, and
again the studénts profit by coping
practically with an idea which is too
often:a theoretical by-word.

Bryn Mawr’s Summer School grad-
uates are full proof of the value of
the new type of adult education. “All
of them do something with what they
have learned,” said Miss Smith. Dur-
ing her work in the W. P. A., she
found an astounding number of grad-
uate leaders in all kinds of labor ac-
tivities. _ Some have returned to
teaching the school here, and many
more have been active in organizing
classes. elsewhere, in working with
school boards and Y. W. C. A.’s, and
getting better ee conditiong' in
their industries through intelligent
union action.
