ANN TOLL DISCUSSES
CHANGES ON CAMPUS
There has never been a time when
it was more important for college
women to perform the functions of
good citizenship, Miss Park told the
Council of the Alumnae Association
at their meeting held last week-end
in New Haven. A generation ago,
educational institutions had to give
the vitality of: change and the fresh-
ness of creative ideas to a complacent,
ordered world. Now, the colleges of
today have the task of trying to bring
world.
The theme of the college graduate’s
responsibility towards society ran
through all the discussions~and can
be seen in the favorable reaction to
the speeches on the Phases of College
Iife. It is also evident in the re-
ports of the finance committee, in the
suggestions of the district councillors
and in the scholarship meetings. The
principle was most apparent, however,
in the alumnae’s attitude of interest
in the college and in their willingness
to work as much as possible for the
propagation of its aims.
The increase in income from_mem-]
reports, was interpreted as a favor-
able sign that the college is coming
into closer contact ,with particular
communities. This had been strongly
urged by the district councillors in
the hope of consciously building up
the intelligent democracy spoken of
by Miss Park.
Besides the increased income two
other interesting facts are to be
gleaned from the financial discussion.
First of all, 40 per cent of the as-
sociation’s budget goes to the college,
not for scholarships or loans, but for
academic purposes. “Secondly, due in
large part to this gift, the Bryn Mawr
records show no deficit during the de-
pression nor any faculty cuts, with
the exception of one year when sal-
aries had to be cut momentarily only
to be restored again shortly after-
wards.
In the discussions headed On Phases
of College Life, Miss Gardner, repre-
senting the faculty point of view, told
how. beneficial had been the changes
in the twd science buildings, and how

Mr.. Gray, on French foreign policy.
“If anyone “were to ask me what
I thought of -France’s condition to-
day,”
it was excellent.” Considering the
marked swing that French politics
have taken, first to the left, then to
the right, they have remained both as
stable and liberal as can be expected.
*The Popular Front government was
elected in May, 1986. A. union of
Radical Socialists, Socialists. and
Comminists, it was formed in the hope
of- putting through a _ revolutionary
program of legislation. France, like
the rest of the world, had been going
through a depression which was ap-
parent in a trade deficit, a slowing up
of production and a decrease in agri-
cultural output. The Popular Front,

The demand for labor legislation
was stressed by the series of strikes
in June, 1936, which preceded the
inauguration of the Popular Front
‘Bovernment. New laws were passed:
a 40 hour week, a 15% to 30% in-
crease in salary and a paid holiday
of two weeks a year for all workers.
The reorganization of railroads under
state control -was not completely
realized, due to the power of private
capital. These reforms, said Mlle.

Inland Town of Chiusi
Reveals Etruscan Art
Levi Traces Early Portraiture in
Cinerary Urtis
The Deanery, March 12. — Spon-
sored by the Department of Arche-
ian Director of Archeology at Sar-
dinia- and now teaching at Princeton,
lectured on the Native Elements in
Etruscan Art.
Since Etruscan art was so largely
dominated by foreign influence, its na-
tive elements can be studied best in
the archeological remains from Chiusi,
an inland town less exposed to alien
ideas than the sea-coast cities. Such
native elements are especially evident
‘n the art of making cinerary urns to
contain the ashes of the dead.
This art sprang up, developed, and
decayed in a remarkably short period:
from the end of the eighth century
to the middle of the sixth eentury
B.C. When first published, this con-
tention was doubted by some scholars,
but Dr. Levi believes that it has been
proved by all available archeological
and aesthetic evidence. It is possible
to date the urns definitively by com-
paring them with contemporary sculp-
ornaments as were buried with. them:
The first. and most. primitive, cin-
erary urns were made from the end
of the eighth century to the middle of
vases with their mouths covered by
a kind of cup. Rough human features
were drawn on the cup. In the last
part of the period, a bronze mask
was substituted: for the drawing. \,

At the meeting of the College Coun-
cil, on March 8, the following. sub-
jects were among those discussed:
group insurance, undergraduate dis-
cussidhis, the athletic building, changes
in the final examination and _ the
financial situation of the college.
Mrs. Manning reported that under-
graduates can be included in a group
insurance plan as “employees of the
college,” but that under the Associated
Hospital Service Plan of Philadelphia,
surgeons’ fees would not be included,
The plan used by Vassar does include
surgeons’ fees, up to 250 dollars, to-
gether with all hospital expenses, up
No action can be taken
on it until next fall when bills are
sent to parents. They will then be
free to subscribe to the policy or not.
Eleanor Taft, ’39, said that under-
graduates in the halls were in favor
of: Goodhart discussions substituted
for the present morning chapels. A
plan. has been drawn up for. taking
matters from the college council to the
halls for discussion. Hall presidents
would then report back to the under-
graduate members of the council, who
would formulate a panel debate for

DANCE RECITAL GIVEN
BY RECENT ALUMNAE, |
MISS PETTS, GROUP
Gymnasium, Mareh-14.—Miss Petts’
dance students, both undergraduates
and alumnae, gave a recital which in-
cluded a varied range of numbers.
Miss Petts herself danced Gluck’s
Orpheus, a most difficult piece of mu-
sic for dancing. She showed magnifi-
cent control of her body, and the
simplicity which comes of studied re-
straint.
The other outstanding dance was a
Mazurka, by Bonnie Allen and Eliza-
beth Huebner, who did their best
dancing together. Their Minuet
showed high imaginative power. Eliza-
beth Huebner had not the same con-
trol when she danced alone in Festive.
Lydia Lyman’s dance group from
Lower Merion was well received in a
Skipping Dance, although Pop Goes
the Weasel, as played by Hans Schu-
mann, proved hampering in its melan-
choly. This deprived them of the
support his music gave the other
dancers.
Jane Ludwig’s Allegro, though too
repetitious, was a highly individual
dance. The reactions of the audience
‘to Bonnie Allen’s dramatic Actus
Tragicus differed considerably. She
danced with real feeling, even, at cer-
_|tain points, trembling from head to
foot.
Im contrast to. other dances on the
program was the folk dance, the
Petticoat Swish. Ritual struck an un-
ysual modernistic -note.
Of the two waltzes, the second was
the more successful. The. first, done
included dreary
stretches where the circle form shut
off some of the dancers with the backs
of others. The waltz that closed the
program was worth seeing, however,|
if only for the vivacious entrance of
Louise Thompson and Lydia Lyman.
As more and more dirvdls entered, the
colors flowed togethér and swirled.

Distinguish M. Edwards’
Performance
A glance at the program of Mar-
jorie Edwards’ recital would never
suggest the fact that she is the young-
est artist who has appédared here in
a long time. Her cov ss too,
asked no concessions for her mere six-
teen years; with all possible poise and
artistry she played.some of the most
difficult existing compositions for solo
violin. A spirited manner, free from
affectation and self-consciousness, con-
veyed the essence ‘of that indefinable
quality called genius. Easily she swept
through difficult passages, just as
easily. she brought out the suave
beauty of andantes: And in addition
to great talent she has a charming
presence.
The first thing she played was ‘in
many respects the most. beautiful:
Hindel’s E major Sonata for violin
and piano. In the opening Adagio she
used a light, almost ascetic tone. Fol-
lowing the vigorous Allegro with its
fresh firm line of melody she played
a more complex version of the Largo
than that usually heard. It gave her
an opportunity to show a beautiful
tone on the lower strings then re-
peated the haunting theme with varia-
tions. The last Allegro recalled the
jolly mood sete first.
Edwards played four movements of
the Lalo Symphonie Espagnole, Its ,
form can ,scarcely be distinguished —
from that of a concerto for violin
and is often played because of its in-
triguing rhythms and the gracefulness
of the part for solo instrument.
Much of the music itself js not really
beautiful, but its righfbe and sen-
suousness has considerable appeal.
Miss Edwards’ tone, although full of
conviction, séemed a little lacking in
body in the most forceful passages.
But the most incredible arpeggios and
tricky figures came out faultlessly.
A group of shorter compositions
came after the intermission. In com-
plete contrast to the wonderfully
smooth legato style of the Andante by
Goldmark was the amazing bee ted

Pem Dancers Imbibe
Pink Goldfish Punch
Common Room, March 11. — The
Pembroke Dance, besides establishing
a new tradition, provided a sequel to
the Freshman Animal story. The
second dance ever held by the hall
was a financial and social success,
marred only by the discovery of the
Western Union boy’s understudy
swimming in the pink punch, ‘y
The poor fish, which somewhat sug-
gested an anchovy, was found floating
about with the ice, while the deserted
aquarium was seen to be a delicate
pink color. The unnamed vandal had
apparently effected an exchange of
one fish for one cup of punch. A
soothing reflection, moral and hu-
manitarian, lies in the fact that the
fish survived quite well and when rer
stored to a cleaned aquarium swam
almost as usual. The dancers, how-
ever, continued to drink the punch, un-
changed. One of them is now in the
Infirmary.
The dance was given by Pembroke |

gor, just how long Haverford men
have been trying to get into thé®Bryn
Mawr freshman play for women only,
we are not prepared to say...All we
know is that for the past few years
some pretty sly attempts have been
balked by ever-vigilant Bryn Mawr...
Gents have tried to slink into Good-
hart disguised as* everything in the
book. ..from nuns to Bryn Mawr Sen-
iors, but it’s been all quite futile.
Well...this year paid off. Two of
our friends decided to forsake subtlety
and merely sneak in. That’s just what
they did about an hour. before curtain
The pair snagged a precarious
perch in the scenery, and settled back
for some Real French Spice, When
they weren’t dodging nimbly, between
props, they saw. what they..told us
was a “plenty snappy show.” We’re
pleased to learn, though, that taken as
a whole the play had very. nice méral
implications. This is a nasty stretch
of weather and no time -of year,. we
think, to have our faith,in Bryn Mawr

Peace Council Submits
Protest on Embargo
4
Petition Supports Amendment to
' Neutrality Act
“It was proposed that the following
letter be sent from the Bryn Mawr
Peace Council to appropriate officials
in Washington:
“The present situation: in interna-
tional politics has shown that it is
virtually impossible to preserve neu-
trality, since any course of action
has an un-neutral effect. Feeling
ourselves thus’ forced to take sides,
we believe that the United States
should use its influence on the side of
international law and order, and
against efforts to settle ‘disputes by)
other than pacific means.
“A study of the present Neutrality
Act, which was adopted in May, 1937,
has convinced us that an amendment
is necessary, in order that the United
States be enabled to carry out a for-
eign policy in accordance with , its
needs. We believe that such a foreign
policy would be best* realized by a
law which defines the aggressor and
then discriminates -in its embargo of
arms between the nation which is at-
tacking, and the one which is merely
defending itself. Any embargo ap-
plied, in order to be effective, should
include all raw materials necessary to
the prosecution of war, if we are not
to discriminate against these. indus-
trially backward nations which are
most often the victims of attack. In
regard to the existing situation in the
Far East, we urge that an embargo
be immediately placed on all arms and
materials of war to Japan. We wish
to register our emphatic protest
against the fact that the U. S. is sup-}
plying 54% of all Japanese war im-
ports. ‘
“The present Neutrality Act, as it
stands, constitutes an invitation to re-
bellion against legally constituted
governments. We suggest that amend-
ment be made, ‘so as to omit mention
of civil war; and to deal with con-
crete instances of civil war as they
come up, by joint-action..of Congress
and the President. -
“While we fully realize that the/in
sticklers in every country of the world ‘
proposed Thomas Amendment does
not adequately represent our needs,
| we wish to register our support for

| DEAR EDITOR: «
I wish to protest the point of view
taken by Weiss and Anderson as re-
ported in the News for March 1. The
arguments they use are based on a
lack of knowledge of the facts. The
result of Bridgman’s long years of
work are. of vital interest in modern
warfare where a knowledge of high-
pressure control is needed in. design-
ing gun recoil mechanisms, motors for
torpedoes, airplane engine lubrication,
submarine parts, machine gun feeds
and so on down the list. Although not
expressed in these terms by Bridg-
with machinery cannot escape the con-
nection. Liquid oxygen explosives,
developed by American engineers for
mine blasting, have quickly found
their way into German bombs and
have already been tried out on the
inhabitants of Madrid. The war in
Ethiopia was carried to a “successful
conclusion” only, because American
medicine contributed the knowledge
necessary to combat tropical disease.
Modern science cannot halt its
progréss for fear some of its results
will be used in war, but it can be
careful to curb such a use.
I wish that Mr. Weiss could teach
logic and philosophy to the peoples
of the totalitarian states. I am glad
Bridgman is not going to teach them
high-pressure physics.
Very sincerely yours,
WALLACE DE LAGUNA.

To the Editor of the College News:
In viéw of the controversy now
raging in the News over the godless-
ness of Bryn Mawr College, it™ts, ex-
tremely unfortunate that the Sunday
evening service on March 5 conducted
by Professor Hornell Hart was com-
pletely ignored in your last issue. As
a former member of the Bryn Mawr
liant and challenging speaker, he well
deserved press recognition. Professor
Hart is. not the first chapel speaker
who has failed te get a News column.
The Bryn Mawr League with the
splendid co-operation of the choir is
doing an_excellent piece of work in
its Sunday night programs. There
is still opportunity for the worship
of God and the discussion of religious
questions on. this campus even if
some.students_and_ faculty. members
seem not to be aware of it.

Knowing that you come fr an

ing and intelligent learning in lit€rary

tell you of a mistake in cataloguing
a piece of anthracite in your very fine
collection of minerals. The
anthracite means hard coal. If one
says anthracite coal it seems as .re-
dundant to one “in the know” as to
say Hula, Hula, D. C. current, the

an oversight of one of the underlings

ing this to your college rather than
have it said about your college, not
that I consider it a very grave error

who nearly have fits when they see
anything that is the least bit wrong.
I hope that you do not think me over

over exaggerated, and consequently
seemed out of place.
Quite possibly The New School of

is difficult to handle because its hu-

men to that effect. Indeed, the scope
of the exhibit is so great it ‘s impos-
sible to deal with it adequately at one
viewing.
A large number of ‘the spectators
appear to be practicing artists, and
Blake enthusiasts. It is hard to rea-
lize that in his own lifetime Blake
was discounted for a magman, because
we now recognizehim to be one of
the great individuals in art, but he
was subject to some of: the same cri-
ticisms as are ‘applied to the sur-
realists today. -They like to call him
an early exponent of their method be-
cause he depicted a world of his
imagining.
The extent of Blake’s imaginative
activity is well represented by books,
paintings, watercolors, wash and pen-
cil drawings and his own process of
color prints. There are master ex-
amples in all these mediums except
paint ng. Most of the works are line

to Blake.
Christ Appearing to the Apostles
after the Resurrection is one of the
first pictures we noticed on entering

n the center betwden pale shadows
yn either side and the rounded backs
of prostrate apostles. This rhyth-
mical massing of figures shows~ well
at a distance, because it is emphasized
by shimmering color ng and not con-
fused by details.

So far, Nazi Germany’s chief influ-
ence onsAmerican literature has been
to give liberal novelists’ frustrated
heroes something to die for at last.
The Third Reich has; in fact, oblig-
ingly provided them with a new popu-
lar demonology. -In this modern
hierarchy, every Storm Trooper was
ipso facto a beast and.a devil and
every victim of his persecution auto-
matically a scholar and an angel.
Before Kressman Taylor wrote Ad-
dre.s Unknown, there was little or no
attempt to trace the evolution of the
Storm Trooper’s principles, or,. nfore
mportant, to estimate the effects of
his treatment on the victim himself.
Kressman Taylor has tried to pro-
vide such a study. It is based on
the oldest, device of fiction: an ‘ex-
change of letters between two friends.
One is a German-American who re-

other is a Jew who remains in Cali-

cordial and intimate, slowly grows un-
friendly and finally «savage as the
German is drawn into the new move-
ment. :
But as he changes so does the
American. He, too, becomes gradually
more and more embittered, and at
last, deliberately forms and carries
out a hideous plot of vengeance
against his former friend. It leaves
h'm,. at the end of the story,. even
more hopelessly dishonored and cor-
vupt than the German.
The story is told with complete ob-
jectivity. . There is no attempt to
give it any obvious flourishes of “so-
cial significance.” Yet it forces the
reader to realize witha kind of dread-
ful clarity the exact nature of a
regime that can so deface the. char-

of Novacek’s Perpetuum mobile. Most
enjoyable was the transcription of
Chopin’s E flat Nocturne which Miss
Edwards played simply, straightfor-
wardly, with great effect. The melody
seemed particularly well suited to such
an arrangement. Hubay’s Zephyr
was remarkable for the beautiful way
in which Miss Edwards played the
high notes. The presence of so many
along with a profusién of harmonics
and spiccato bowings do not. make @&
pleasant tone easy.
The Zigeunerweisen again called fdr
a wealth of technical proficiency. It
was written by Sarasate, the virtuoso
who had first played Lalo’s Symphonie
Espagnole. The first part was based
on mournful gypsy tunes intermingled
with splashes of wild temperament.
The second was played with mute and
the last again was full of fire. In
response to enthusiastic applause Miss
Edwards played:three encores, Ravel’s
Habenera, Kreisler’s La Gitana, and
finally ‘Daquin Manen’s. delightful
eighteenth-century Coucou.
Those of us who were fortunate
enough to meet Miss Edwards after-
wards will not soon forget her. She
has all the poise of an extremely at-
tractive girl and gives the impression
of uncommon intelligence. Although
she has been giving concerts publicly
for some time she has kept up her
studing in the evening and obviously
has interests outside of music. This
was her last appearance of the season
and we cannot help hoping that it was
at least a small fraction as enjoyable
to her as it was to us.

cherub.

To the Editor of the News:
I have been aroused by the vast
number of unscheduled quizzes which
were given to many of us this past
week. These quizzes were either to
take the place of, or to supplement, a
mid-semester.
Undeniably, a professor has_ the
right to give a drop quiz any time he
or she feels that the class should have
one, but when he or she has a definite
day intended for such a quiz and an-
nounces it to the oe for before the
mid-seniester period in order “to make
the quiz period easier for you,” then
I think there should be a little in-
quiry into the motives behind this
practice.
The quiz period is, as Mrs. Man-
ning has made plain, a time for check-
ing up on roughly half the semester’s.
work. The quizzes should be carefully
prepared for, and it is my belief that
this is done by the majority of stu-
dents. During quiz periods; then;
there is, and of a truth, ought'\to be, a
slowing down of outside functions
such as_ lectures, entertainments,
dances, Glee. Club, ‘Choir rehearsals,
and’ the like.
Now, then, suppose a certain extra-
curricular activity has been planned
‘n all good faith.to come off on a

scheduled quizzes, Under ordinary
circumstances, we should judge that
all was well and good, and indeed
this would be the case if it were not
for these difficult-to-classify quizzes
which, though technically impeccable,
are placed before the scheduled ones.
In endeavoring to lighten the load of
the scheduled period, the result is too
many quizzes in the unscheduled per-
od, and not enough in the scheduled
period.
These premature quizzes require
just as much labor in preparation, and
INTER-DEPARTMENTAL
COURSES INTRODUCED
~ “BY BARNARD COLLEGB
To answer a growing interest in
comparative studies, Barnard College
has added two new courses to. its
curriculum. The Barnard Bulletin
characterizes the new interest as “one
of the recent aspects of progressive
education.”
The ‘first will be “an integrated
study of medieval culture from the
aspects of history, philosophy, fine
arts, language and literature, focus-
ing for each student on one or more
special subjects.” Open only to.quali-
fied seniors, the course will be con-
ducted ymainly as @ seminar. Each
student will be advised by one faculty
member, under whose direction she will
do special reading and research, and
attend lectures and conferences with
other members of the faculty.
A second course, to be’ known as
“Comparative Literature”. will cor--
relate the work of modern French
poets, such as ‘Rimbaud, Baudelaire,
American literature. It is intended,
primarily for English majors.
Indications of student demand for
inter-departmental courses are found
in “the heavy election last year of a
course in Italian dramatic literature
and one in English and French litera-’
ture from 1870. There:are also plans
for a study of the works of Goethe to
be adapted to the needs of —
majors.

an end partly by the introduction of

tendency toward making scheduled
quizzes a prize which we win after
hurdling the obstacles of the unsched-

Therefore, I suggest either that
they be scheduled along with the
others, thus“turning the quiz period
into miniature exam weeks, or, that
they be given after vacation..
The first suggestion might cause
discontent among the ranks of both
students and faculty. “Too many
quizzes too close together; no time to
study with other classes to keep up
with at the same time; unfair, unfair,”

(Gleaned from: Mr. Fenwick) 7
Common Room, March: 14.—The
movement. in Slovakia is the news of
the week, Mr. Fenwick said. It is:
five. and a half months since Britain
and France signed the guarantee of
Czechoslovakian territorial integrity
which neither Italy nor Germany
signed. The Czechoslovakian. govern-
ment granted autonomy to the fate
of Slovakia, but Hitler arranged for|
agitators to arouse in the Slovakians
the desire to be an independent state.
The Prime Minister of the Slovakian;
State was deposed by Prague, and
Today,
Hitler announces that the Slovaks are
at last freed from the yoke of Czecho-
slovakia, and the Slovaks are amazed.
What will be the fate of the Czech
state and of the Slovaks? The new!
state of Slovakia will be an _agricul-
tural country, selling its products to
Germany, and buying German goods.
Bohemia is a‘Separate state. Part of
Moravia will go to Bohemia and the
fate of the remaining part is in doubt.
Hitler now has a corridor to Moravia.
But, Mr. Fenwick said, the passage is
a difficult one.
In view of this, and the fact that
Hungary is invading the Carpatho-
Ukraine, the region at the énd of
Czechoslovakia and nearest the Uk-
raine, Hitler is facing a problem.
Will he allow Hungary to stay in this
territory and to form a common boun-
dary with Poland? If so, his progress
to the Ukraine will be impeded. If
not, he has to oust Hungary from
Carpatho-Ukraine.
Mr. Fenwick pointed out that last!
week at the
Stalin denounced the democracies for
selling Czechoslovakia as a bribe to
Germany to turn eastward and not
west. Will Stalin be reconciled with
Hitler?“ If this were the case, Hitler
would be strengthened for.war in the
west. The only thing that may deter
__him_is the determination o of England
broadcast throughout the |
to back. France.
The stock market did not go down,
and Britain seems calm through the
crisis. This is probably because Brit-
ain is not sufficiently rearmed to chal-
lerige Germany unless _ necessary.
Czechoslovakia is apparently not a
necessary issue, so is doomed. Col-
lective seturity, said Mr. Fenwick, is
likewise at an end.
In Spain, the new National Defense;
Council is defeated by rebellion in_ its
ranks from Communists,and Anar-
chists. ~The government will then be
forced to surrender to Franco within
a few days.
Mr. Fenwick concluded witli a dis-
cussion of the moral triumph of
Ghandi. The Indian martyr forced a
Rajkot ruler to install democratic re-
forms. But Ghandi’s advice to the
Jews in Germany to fast unto death
is unsound. Ghandi does not realize
that although his method niay work in
India, it is doubtful whether it will
be successful in Germany.

Mrs. Manning is planning to speak
to the Athletic Association board and
tell them about the plans and reasons
for “tte new athletic building: She
said that discussiom was needed both
pro and con, and that.she believed
the need for such a building will be
increasingly recognized. The questign
is whether to start now and procee
gradually, or to wait until the whole
project can be realized.
Present financial difficulties of the
college are due to conditions over
which we have-no control, said Mrs.
Manning. A decrease in interest rate
on college investments makes it
necessary to keep expenses for next
year the same as they have been
during the past year. This means
that faculty promotions will be de-
ferred, and that not all the scholar-}.
ship demands, which are larger this
year, can be met. The increase from
tuition, rent and board which will
come when Rhoads is full will partly
take care of this décrease in income
tinue to sink.

Stars in Your E jes is the newest
addition to the rostra of distinguished
arrival with the matchless comedy of
Ethel Merman and Jimmy Durante
and what is very probably the best
Its theme
is perhaps hackneyed; but there is
scarcely a dull moment, thanks to its
extraordinarily able cast.
Ethel Mernian has again gladdened
the hearts of her admirers and found
countless new devotees in her latest
role as a big Hollywood star. There
can be no doubt in any one’s mind that
the show is hers from start to finish,
and she keeps it moving at a terrific
pace. Happily for. us, who like to
see Miss Merman do justice to a good
music of its sort in town.
Schwartz, and Dorothy Field’s excel-
lent melodies. One of the most expert
scenes is that in Miss Merman’s dress-
ing-room when she tries to seduce
Richard Carlson, the Nebraska novice
trying to reform Hollywood. Mr.
Carison passes out halfway through
the scene (this is the first time he
has tasted champagne), but before
this he and Miss Merman have a won-
derful time burlesquing Hollywood’s
femme fatale.
Jimmy Durante cheerfully becomes
Miss Merman’s right hand man. In
fact, he supports everyone in the cast,
patching up the implausible parts of
the play, adding irresistible flavor to
the whole. He is aided and abetted;
by Mildred Natwick, who has lost;
fifteen or twenty years since her last
appearance on Broadway. The art

The show is further graced by the
above-mentioned Richard Carlson, a
presentable young man, and Tamara

Miss Toumanova is as beautiful as
ever, but one cannot help feeling that
she should be back in her own element

There are inevitably some rough
spots in Stars in Your Eyes, despite
the excellence of its leading actors.
It is true that in a sense it is merely
prolonging the rather pointless Holly-
wood-Broadway feud. It tells very
little aboyt Hollywood that hasn’t
been known for a long time, but it
serves up the familiar dish most at-

The forwards, Ligon, Norris and

tained her reputation as high scorer
by registering 20 points. The Bryn

Ann Toll concluded her speech by
saying that ‘‘these scenes—momentous

Although the alumnae council itself
has no powers of jurisdiction over the
college, it holds-a position similar to
that of the college council on eampus;
that is, all matters concerning the col-

this select body of ‘spedially informed
people and referred to the appropri-

business slowed ,down.
Need for réarmament heightened
_ the financial burden of this program.
After the September crisis of 1938
some means of increasing the budget,
already huge, had to be found to
‘meet the additional expense of the
mobilization. Daladier, who had been
greeted enthusiastically on his return
from Munich; was given a vote of con-
fidence. The November decree laws
‘provided for new taxes, both direct
and indirect, and- for a general cut
in salaries. The forty ,hour week was
abol‘shed, although overtime pay was
required. A monetary deflation and
a soaring cost of living chiefly hit the
small income class.
The Conservatives now advocate the
suppression of the Communist party
and a change in the voting system to
be followed by a dissolution of the
Chamber for new elections.
Mr. Gray, after summarizing
Franco-German. relations since 1863,
pointed out that a shortsighted French
policy since the war has helped to
‘briffg on the present situation. After
‘the Prussian defeat of Austria in
that year, France found herself iso-
lated in Europe with a strong Ger-
many on her eastern frontier. Her
position improved when she gained
Russia as an ally in 1891, and was
further strengthened by the Triple
Entente.
After the great war, France was
in a position to strengthen herself
against Germany. During the peace
negotiations, French military authori-
ties advocated a buffer state between
France and Germany. British Pre-
mier Lloyd George arguéd that French
security would be adequately safe-
guarded if England and the U. S. A.
promised to come to her aid in case
of-aggression._In-the final settlement
both countries backed out of this pro-
posal, France was thrown onto her
own resources and Germany was pen-
ali :
excessive reparations were
ameliorated somewhat by the Locarno
Pact, which was engineered by Briand
and. MacDonald. These ministers also
brought Germany into the League and
pressed for rearmament, but these
measures came too late to be entirely
effective. J
During the critical years, beginning
~ in- 1930 when a bankrupt Germany
appealed to France for aid, repeated
yefusals on the part of France:to co-
operate ‘increased Nazi influence in
Germany. German prestige might
have been saved at the Geneva Four
Power Conference in 1932 by some
gesture of conciliation, but this was
refused by France.
With Laval as foreign minister in
1935, some concessions were made to
Italy, but German military conscrip-
tion, partly due to the non-coopera-
.tion of other powers in a disarma-
ment program and to France’s allia-
ance with Soviet Russia, threw Eu-
rope into a panic.
In 1936 Hitler occupied the Rhine-
land and increased the _ military
conscription period, Germany, now cut
off from any possible alliance with
the democratic countries, aligned her-
self with Italy. France’s position in
Europe with England as her only
ally, has thus again become insecure.

MISS ROBBINS SEES
CZECHO-SLOVAK CRISIS
RESULT OF “MUNICH
S
March 15——Asked to comment. this
‘morning on the dismemberment of
Czecho-Slovakia, Caroline Robbins, as-
sociate professor of: history, stated
her belief that. it was an inevitable
result of the Munich Pact. Even pro-
tests from England or France at this
point would be senseless. _
“The chief interest of the situa-
tion to me,” said Miss Robbins, “lies
in the developments in Poland.” With
anti-Nazi feeling already growing,
the arrival of Germany on a new Pol-
ish frontier may bring< matters be-
tween the two to a crisis.
In appraisal of England’s recent
foreign policy, Miss Robbins said that
Chamberlain’s “inexcusable error was
made last August, when he held out
hopes that England would intervene
if acceptable tefms were not offered
Czechoslovakia.”’ In particular, ‘the
sending of the Runciman mission gave
a wrong impression of England’s ac-.
tual- position. “Chamberlain’s honor,”
concluded Miss Robbins, “was involved
in holding out false hopes of inter-
vention, not in his refusal to fight.”
She does not believe that the state
defense, would have justified an ag-
gressive policy last summer.

Valuable Art Books
Donated to Library
Mrs. Albert E. Goodhart, aunt of
Phillis Goodhart, ’35, has given the
library two valuable ‘works on art:
The Phillip Lehman Collection pub-
lishéd-itr-Paris in 1928, and the Corpus
of Florentine Painting, Section. III
in five volumes by Richard Offner.
When completed the Corpus of Flor-
entine Painting is to consist of 30 vol-
umes. In the third section, which
has been given to the library, are the
reproductions of the paintings of the
14th century.
In the introduction to his work, Off-
ner stresses the value of reproduc-
tions, saying that 4 proper study of
the history of art involves a method
“that begins with the single object;
and which by. sctupulously allowing
it its physical character, by seeking
its substance and its outline should
lead us at last to something like its
actual aesthetic individualism.”
The Phillip Lehman Collection con-
sists of 105 illustrations of paintings.
These reproductions include four
branches of the Italian School, and
also the works of the Flemish, Dutch,
3panish, and English Schools. :
