Parallel Drawn
Between Yoga
And Surrealism



Non - Physiological Medium
Used by Both to Express

Sensations

MEANS OF TWO ARE.
SAME; AIMS DIFFER

Deanery, Jan, 9.—In his lecture on
Yoga and Surrealism, Dr. Spiegel-
burg said that, despite the many dif-
ferences between these two movements’
and the fact that neither claims any
relation to the other, he believes a
comparison would be interesting and
helpful to a better understanding of
both. The mest important common
factor is their same projection plane
for psychie experiences. Both at-
tempt to describe a schematic pattern





. medium than that offered by
physiologiéal concepts.

Pictured by Max Ernst, an embrace
consists in unconnected lines whose
stresses, depressions and convulsions
represent the sensations as felt. with-
in the embrace itself. The lines are

the human body than the sénsation
of “a pumpkin painfully
head” is connected with \the actual
physical cause of the headache. The
picture represents the surrealist’s at-
tempt to describe a state of sensations
in. a new medium which is still un-
clear.

In Yoga art, there /also exists: the

a medium other than that of physi-
ology. The spinal column is not ex-
pressed by vertebrae, etc., but by a
series of wheels, shaped like the lotus
flower, continuing up to the top of
the head where the symbol frequently
appears on the surfdce. These'wheels
are connected by a tube through
which the serpent, or_giver of life,
is supposed to breathe and thereby en-
dow .each wheel with the power to
realize its particular sensation.

Many of the’ critics of surrealism,
Dr. Spiegelburg said,, are not unlike
the Indian: Yogi, who, on dissecting a
frog and finding that the backbone
-was not_in the form of lotus wheels,
disclaimed Yoga art. “Realism is the
dandelion blown by the woman in the
front/ of dictionaries.”

One form of Indian art, similar to
that of neurotic patients, is Mandarla
and consists of circles, squares and
triangles drawn in a symmetric way
about a center and bound in by 4
line. This typeof art represents a
mirror of the momentary state of the
painter’s soul,

Surrealism is in contradiction to
such ornamental or abstract art which,
resulting from..some_repression, ‘tries

place of a}.

Workers Tell Trials
of New Hosiery Union



Common Room, Goodhart Hall, Jan-
uary 6.—Representatives of the Girls’
Division of Branch 1, of the Hosiery
Workers’ Union which is. affiliated
with the C. I. O., and representatives
of the Industrial Group of the Ger-

j} mantown Y, W. C. A., attended the

supper and discussion meeting of the
Bryn Mawr Industrial Group on Fri-
day evening. The Problems of New
Unions. was the discussion’ subject.

A knitter from a mill employing
only 21 workers told how her shop
was organized by her employer and
the local union less than a year ago.
The local union, appointed a chair-
man whom his fellow workers did not’
want. /But wherithe local representa-
tive came to hold an election, he dis-
couraged: secret. balloting, and the
same man was elected. There had
beén no strong opposition because
none: of the workers knew any more
/about conducting a union than he. Tol DH

oo

| date, the union ‘has given the em-

ployees nothing more substantial than
promises.

Anna Geisinger, who eame with the
Girls’ Division group, gave an account
of the struggles .of her union when
it was new. She also gave a summary
of-the process of making hosiery.

In 1907, Anna Geisinger said, seven
men began work to interest people in
the forming of a union of full fash-
ion. hosiery knitters. It took two
years before the union was chart-
ered.

In 1909 girl “toppers” were taken
in. Womer outnumbered men five to

one in this trade. Between -1914 and

Two Styles Seen in
Roman Architecture



Boethius: Shows Unclassic
eee Developed Within
. Imperial Rome



Deanery, January 8.—In his lec-
ture on the importance of the archi-
tecture of imperial Rome on the Mid-
dle Ages, Dr. Boethius, of Goeteberg,
Sweden, stressed the fact that the un-
classic forces that produced the archi-
tecture of the Byzantine and Mediae-
‘val periods developed within Imperial
Rome itself. An unclassic style ap-
peared first as a parallel to the con-
ventional classic, and finally as its
equal and “superior. The’ unclassic
influence also shows in sculpture. Dr.
Boethius illustrated this with slides
of heads of Constantine, and a late

markedly from the “civically” noble
style heads of Augustus.

The arch of Septimus Serverus of
203 A.D. was the first public monu-
ment to show traces of this changed
style, although there had been earlier
unsophisticated illustrative paintings
on the outside of house and shop walls
in Pompeii necessarily before 79 A.D.
Many of the reliefs on the arch show
the predominate Roman interest in

tion have been almost completely sac-
rificed. That this style was complete-
ly self-conscious, is shown by the ap-

pearance of conventional classic mo-

Sophisticated Puppets
To Play at Bryn Mawr



Yale Puppeteers Will. Present
- Headline. Characters



The Yale Puppeteers will come to
Bryn Mawr on January 13 with their
production of It’s a Small World, a
topical musical revue written especial-
ly for the puppet stage by. Harry
Burnett, Forman Brown and Richard
Brandon. The performance is being
given for the benefit of the Eastern
Pennsylvania Alumnae Regional
Scholarship Fund.

When. the Yale Puppeteers first he-
gan to plan ‘their new “production they
decided to invade the field of sophisti-
cated satire, a thing unheard of in
this country but done for years in
Europe. Forman Brown, in writing
lyrics for Jt’s a Small World, has
combined the modernism of Cole Por-
ter with the quaintness and liveliness
of Gilbert and Sullivan.

The puppeteers have chosen as their.

plan to add new personalities from
time to time to keep up with current
events. Among this year’s cast. are:
Mrs. Roosevelt, singing in Eleanor
blue about My Day, John L. Lewis
céusorting with angels, and George
Bernard Shaw in heaven, Arturo Tos-
feanini, Martha Graham, the Lunts
and Whistler’s Mother, and Mrs.
Harkness’ baby panda.

Storrs to Discuss

Near East Problem

Sir Ronald Storrs, who will lecture
here on Monday, January 16, on the



| problem of the Near East, is unusu-

ally well qualified to speak on such a
subject. For almost thirty— _-years—
from 1904 to 1932—he held/office un-
brokenly in Egypt, Palestine and Cy-
prus,and knew intimately the char-
acter of the men and policies that
formed their history.

He was oriental secretary in Cairo
to Sir Eldon Gorst, Lord Kitchener
and Sir Henry McMahon in turn. In
1917, he was sent to Mesopotamia as
political officer, and in 1918 he became
the Military Governor of Jerusalem,
and remained in Palestine as Civil
Governor of Judea for nine years. He
was then made Governor of Cyprus
and held office there until 1932.

In’ Palestine, his unparalleled op-
portunities to watch the development
of the conflict between the Jews. and
the Arabs make his discussion of the
timely problem particularly absorbing.
His study of Zionism in the book of
memoirs called Orientation is said to
be “the most picturesque and. human
account that has. yet appeared.”

- Besides his memoirs, Sir Ronald is
the author of Handbook of Cyprus
(1930) and the Chronology of Cyprus
(192975

SESSIONS THROUGHOUT
YEAR ARE SUGGESTED
(The text of ‘Miss -Park’s speech in chapel

will be found on page 5 of this issue.)

The Board of Directors of the Bryn
Mawr Summer School for Women
Workers in Industry has taken the
lease of two houses at West Park
on the Hudson, New York. This an-
nouncement was made following a
recent meeting of the Executive Com-
mittees of the Board of the Summer
School and of the Board of Directors
of Bryn Mawr College in joint session.
The Summer School will have its per-
manent home at West Park, and its
summer session will be held there
beginning in 1939 instead of ‘on the
Bryn Mawr campus, where it has been
for the last eighteen years. There

will be room at the new school for
about sixty-five students.
To meet the desire of the Summer



School Board, the school is leaving .

the campus in order to have its own
home where not only summer but
winter sessions can be held, where
institutes for labor groups may meet
and where, through experimentation,
the school may meet the changing
needs of ‘labor.

The present Board of the Summer
School, including representatives. of
Bryn Mawr College, labor groups and
faculty and students of the school
will continue iri will be increased to include a larger
representation of labor, and a council

of advisors headed by President Mar-~
jion Edwards Park, of Bryn Mawr Col-

lege, will be appointed to widen the
support and emphasize the irhpor-
tance of the school. The director of
the school will be Miss Jean Carter,
who has been ‘connected with the
school for several years and: has been
its director or associate director since
1935.

tive Committees, the Summer. School
Board presented the following reso-

Of Basque Provinces



Noted Author Describes Customs of

Deanery, January 8.—In speaking
on the Basque Country, Helen Mer-

selves, though still unconquered, have
suffered terribly at the hands of the
Insurgents, and have sacrificed count-

on defending their country as soldiers.

The Basque people are an. entity,

speaking French; Spanish and their ~

own. tongue, and claiming descent
from the people of the island of At-

they are generally large, square-

from the Spaniards in _every way.
They are industrious, with little pov-

_ Who Says We're Censored?

In the November issue’ of the Alumnae Bulletin, the following
headline appeared; “A GROUP FORMED TO DISCUSS COLLEGE
NEWS,” and under it was written, “In response to a need. that was
being felt more and more, President Park has invited to meet in her
office once a week a committee which discusses all college news and its
methods of presentation, and serves as a clearing-house for information
that is interesting to the college, the students and the alumnae. The
committee consists of President Park, the Director in Residence, the
Publicity Secretary of the College, the Director of. Halls and Head
Warden, the editor of the College News, and the editor of the Alumnae
Bulletin.” There seems to be no cause for alarm in this innocent state-
mént, except what would result from a possible misreading of the head-
line to, “A Group Formed to Discuss College News.” Perhaps because
of this, a few alumnae, either through loyalty to, the News or through











spread word that he News-is being censored. One prominent sbestniers
of the elass of 38 even wrote a posteard ania what the A. S. U.
was going to do about it.

We hardly know how to combat this rumor in the face. of a tra-
dition*that says that-contradietion-is-assent, a tradition that originated
when people first began to fancy themselves as silent, martyrs. We
can only smile tolerantly and emphasize the words “clearing-house,”
the real definition of the weekly meetings that take place in Miss
Park’s office. The committee was not formed to dictate the policies of
the College News, but to facilita¥e the transmission of news. Before
-it was formed each of its members had to see the other six separately,

@ process which was both lengthy and inconvenient.

The discussion of news and “its *tnethod of presentation” ddes not
mean either that the committee tells the News how to write its articles
or that it forbids us to print certain news. The News is free to print
whatever it wants, however and whenever. If there is any censorship

- it is exert@d by‘the Editorial Board-purely as a’ matter: of discretion.
_Any_ external disapproval of our methods may be (and often is)
expressed after the News has come out.

e



: Advertising
- Every now and then, the Business Board of the News, which is
accustomed to running smoothly and somehow meeting expenses with*
out its due,share of appreciation, grinds to a stop and tells us that a
monkey-wrench has gotten into the machinery. This time the monkey-
_ wrench is a matter of interest not only to the College News, but to its
subscribers. Everyone knows that the News-helps support itself by
advertigements and that a considerable proportion of them come from
shops in Bryn Mawr. But for some time past our patronage in the
village has been falling m so fgst that the mee are now refusing to
'. advertise.
We suspect that one reason for this is the tempting array of

‘almost everything in the Bookshop; another is that before coming back

to college at any given time, we lay in a stock of necessaries and spin
them.out till the next holiday... In any case; we have negletted the
village and. have forgotten what we once used to know, ‘that it is FY
shopping mecca on a conveniently small scale.

“We hesitate to say editorially, “patronize your ‘naborhdod’ stores”
until it becomes a matter of life and death to us. The Business Board

claims that the very existence of the News will be threatened if we-lose’

_ village advertising, and we can easily understarid why. We cannot
‘support ourselves exclusively by National Advertising, the advertise-
- ments must be-collected weekly and therefore cannot be far afidid,

even now there is hardly enough advertising to run a six-page News

THEATRE REVIEW





Maurice ‘evens has given Broadway
another fine ‘Shakespearean interpre-
tation. in his production--of: Hamlet.
The main credit for this production
should go, however, to its - director,
Margaret Webster, who has previously
worked with Evans in Richard II and
Henry IV. Using the uncut script,
she has done a magnificent job, so
that the strength of the play lies not
so much in the solo work of Mr. Ev-
rans~but—insthe. beauty, -and vitality of
its conception as.a’, le. .

When: John Gielgud, presented Ham-
let a few years ago she himself--was
‘the play. The rest of the cast served
as a shadowy background for Gielgud,
whose performance, varying in qual-
ity from scene to scene, made up for
all the weaknesses of the production
when it became really inspired.

Evans is a superb actor but never
as good as Gielgud at his best. Never-
theless his ‘production as a unit is
possibly superior to Gielgud’s. The
scenes flow easily and gracefully into
one another, and the pace is never
too fast or too slow. Small pieces

|of stage business are beautifully han-

dled, as for example when Hamlet

ays to his mother in the closet scene,
H.00k here upon this picture, and on
this.” Instead of gesticulating with
clempty hands, Hamlet pulls out a
locket hanging around his neck, and
leaning forward seizes the . locket
which Gertrude is ‘wearing.

In the dumb show scene Hamlet ad-
dresses the players while they are
actually building their stage. Finally,
and most effective of all, in the last
act, just before he is carried off stage,
the dying Hamlet clutches at the
throne and, in his agony, sinks. into
it. «Miss Webster was careful enough
to keep this portion of the play from
becoming melodramatic. Hamlet stays
in the throne only for a: brief moment
and ‘this action is not forced upon the
attention of the audience.

The uncut version of Hamlet runs
for about four or five hours. Unbe-
lievable as it may seem, it gives the
impression of ‘being extremely short
because it is not staged as a series of
climaxes and anti-climaxes, but moves
swiftly: to its inevitable conclusion.
One is never conscious that anything
has been added to the play which
would ordinarily have been left out.

The cast was fairly good, although

no one person, with the exception of
Mr. Evans, really stood out above the
rest. Mady Christians was a charm-
ing queen, never a very strong char-
acter, but always pleasant. Her king
was played by Henry Edwards, who
gave the part all that it needed and
enriched it with force of his own.

was George Graham’s Polonius. He

whom old age had taken brains and

PUBLIC OPINION

To:the Editor of the College News:
_ I read with considerable interest
the letters sent to the News by Miss





Bigelow and Dean Manning concern- ~
“Frontiers of Hellenic Civilization. ifing the building “of Bqveah court, at

Bryn Mawy.:

I should like ‘to ooitil out, first of
all, that ifthe presence. or, the: ab-
sence of squash: courts on campus is

likely to weigh even a feather’s weight
on the destinies of Europe and China,
or on the economic stability of the
United States, we are faced with a

serious responsibility indeed; no opin-
ion on the matter should be treated _

with anything but respect.

If, on the other hand, as we hum-
bly suggest, the question enly ‘affects
Bryn Mawr College, and even, at the

worst, not disastrously ohne way or the .

other, everything seems quite simple.

The problem may be considered in
two ways—1) The administration has
decided that an annex to the gym,
mostly to. be occupied by squash

dourts.is needed, that it will cost"20;-——
000 dollars to make it. adequate, and, ’

it is going ahead with the building
and financing of the annex; and dis-
cussion is unnecessary. 2) Or, as the
appeal to financial help from their
fathers may have led the students to
suppose, the administration is anxious
to have-student cooperation in the
matter and, to a certain degree, stu-
dent: opinion.

Miss Barbara’ Bigelow, on that
basis, voiced a perfectly reasonable
and legitimate poimt of view which
may or’may not be \shared by a large
number of other stdents.

If it is the opifton of a majority,
and if student opinion is to be taken
into account at all, might not a clear
and practical discussion on the sub-
ject bring a solution satisfactory to
all concerned?

There is no reasoy why students
should not be amenable to plans made
for their benefit; but if they are not
amenable, there is reasoh to suppose
either that there is-a misunderstand-
ing, or that their opinions are some-
thing more than fulminations—in

which case they deserve serious con-

sideration which might lead to useful

modification of the injtial plan.

Workers Tell Trials of
New Hosiery Union



Continued from Page One

1919 the local union tried to secede
from the national but without success.
1919 only brought more troubles to
the union; the workers were striking
from then until 1921.

By 1921 the workers had obtained
much improved conditions, and the
publicity that the papers. had given
during the strike to the large profits
made in the business, caused many
more full fashioned hosiery businesses
to spring-up.

Then came the short skirt era in
1924, and boom:times) in hosiery. But
for the last ten years wages have
been steadily decreasing again. They
are fixed by. 3-year agreements be-
tween. employer and union. :

After the strikes in 1921 it took six
years to get the girls back in. the
union again, but soon after they were

Najib Eadeh Discusses
Situation in Palestine



Talks on Historical Background ‘of
Arab - Jew Conflict



Contihon Room, December 15,—In

speaking on the present situation in’

Palestine, Najib P. Eadeh first dis-
cussed the complexities of its histori-
cal background. Since the eighth cen-
tury the Arabs have occupied Pales-
tine by right of conquest, and have
had a majority over the Jewish popu-
lation ever since. At the time of
the World War they were under
Turkish domination, but: still retained
a large degree of self-government.
For some time work was carried on
to strengthen the ties of nationalism
between the Arab states, and, when
in 1915 the .. British Government
pledged its assistance, the Arabs re-
volted in the cause of independence.
In .1917 the British Government
made a secret agreement with the
Zion leaders. without the knowledge
of the Arabs. This “Balfour Declara-
tion” is the cause of all present con-
flict. It’ was a contradiction ‘of all
the support they had previously..given
to the Arab cause, and wrested: Pales-
tine from them in order, that it might
be used as a national home for the
Jewish people. Palestine was put
under the British Mandate and was

declared provisionally capable of in-|

dependence. There. was an unre-
stricted. migration of Jews and Arabs
to Palestine until the “White Paper”
of 1922. This restricted the number
of Jews who could enter, but was in-
effectual as it made no statement as
to how many more could be admitted
before the quota number was reached.

The Zionists differ from Jews in
that they are desirous of a national

state and seek political domination, in

Palestine. .The Yews have no po-
litical aims, and only look for peace
and for freedom of religion.

The Zionists have laid stress on

their historical right to Palestine, al-
though the Arabs still maintain a ma-
jority of the population. The Arabs
have not asked for anything further
than the dwellings and lands which

they obtained in the pledge of 1915.
They are under the double burden of
taxation and govefnment without
representation. . “The present motto of
the Zionists. is to exasparate the
Arabs beyond endurance and then to
shoot them down as rebels,” said Mr.
~Eadeh.

Because of the way Great. Britain
let them down, the Arabs and Mo-
hammedans in Palestine are step by
‘step losing faith in Christian nations.
However, they are ready for peaceful
negotiations if Great Britain and the
Zionists will turn to itical and
economic measures of j ce. The
solution will then be at hand and an

will be no illegitimate infringement
upon* the rights and interegts of the
Jews and of Great Britain.

thorough knowledge and understand-
ing of the school, she has interpreted
its policies and given wise direction
to the development of administration
and ‘teaching. Students, faculty and
directors value the contribution she
has made to the workers’ education
movement.

“The Summer School Board hopes
that the accomplishments of these
years are a source of as deep grati-
fication to the College as they are to
the Board. The education of some
1500 women workers has been made
possible in the summer sessions, ‘and
many of these have played effective
roles in industrial relations, in pro-
gressive..legislation and in workers’
education’ throughout the United

_ States.

“The Summer School Board is con-
vinced that these activities must be
further promoted, even though. the
school no longer occupies the Bryn

relationship of good will and under-

namic control gives her the free range
of the body and makes it possible for
her to originate movement where she
chooses, to sustain it on any desired

animation that would otherwise be

Two Styles Seen in

classic form of the arch itself. Not
only did early Christian ‘and later
Medieval art follow the form of this

was a gradual metamorphosis of the
‘‘necessitas” type of architecture intg
monumental architecture. The Basil-
ica of Maxentius, for instance, is a
vaulted basilica, and this vaulting
which did not rightly belong to the
basilica style was adopted from the
Thermae. Along with the vaulting,
the large glass windows and the lofty
proportions were taken from the
baths.

Later basilicas like the Sta Sabina
in Rome retain the proportions of
this utilitarian type with the general

standing in the furthering of similar} austerity of exterior, but revert to the

aims will be maintained between-«the
school and Bryn Mawr College.”

In accepting this” resolution pre-
sented by the Summer School, the
Executive Committee of the College
expressed its appreciation of the work
of. the Summer School in its sessions
at Bryn Mawr and in the help it had
given to the cause of workers’ educa-
tion in ‘the country at largé. The
Committee believed that Bryn Mawr
had gained niuch in the many years
of association with the school. They
acquiesced in the feeling of the Sum-
mer School. Board that the time had
come when the growth of the ‘school
demanded wider scope than a college
campus could give.

Board are as follows: Representing

classic type of flat wooden roof. In
the basilica of Maxentius the bril-
liance and luxury of the interior orig-
inally compensated the severe exterior,
but in the basilica of Constantine of
the fourth century, only the height
and clear lines remain. The exterior
of this building is decorated with a
modification of the arches of an.aque-
duct.

The Pantheon with its classic por-
tico proves that. monumental architec-
ture of Imperial Rome was not com-
pletely divorced from the conventional
style. Only in Thermae, as the baths
of Leptis Magna of 200 A.D., was the
dome left without any classic addi-
tions. ~

Dr. Boethius pointed out that in
the last part of the Roman Empire
the classical and utilitarian styles ap-
pear arbitrarily in architecture, de-
pending on the desires of the builder.
For example he used the Porta Mag-
giore in Rome which is in the rich
style: of classical city gates, as com-
pared with the gates of the Aurelian
-wall..which are in the fortified utili-
tarian style. -This style of fortified
building developed partly from a fear
of the invasion of the Goths, and
partly from the trend of popular
taste; it appears in other late Roman
examples, as in Verulaneum in Eng-
land and in a building in - Cologne,

DIEZ CHINESE PAINTINGS



Commencing :on January ninth, the
Bryn Mawr Art Center Exhibition
Rooms will show :an ‘Exhibition of
Chinese Paintings, ‘the private collec-
tion of Ernst Diez, ‘Professor of His-
tory of Art at Bryn Mawr College.

This is a group of paintings,
ancient and of the present day, which
were collected in. China. a few years
ago by Mr. Diez and which have
never ‘been ‘shown in this country.
Most of them are Taoistic figures,
the so-called “Immortals,” and others
and.:are of a type of Chinese Art
more or less unknown in this country.
This class of Chinese painting repre-
sents figures of the most popular re-
ligion of ‘China and the subject mat-
ter of the pictures deals with legends,
magic and fairy lore. :

Others of the paintings will be
landscape scrolls, animals, birds: and
flowers and will be both of earlier
periods and by present-day Chinese

Miss Park Announces
Changed Summer School|

Permanent scien is Found at
‘New Park on Hudson >



Goodhart, January 9.—In Chapel,
Miss Park anhounced the new plans
for the Bryn Mawr Summer School.
The text of her speech follows:

“We have said to each other many
times this year that it is a year of
chafige. I have asked you to come
together this morning to hear the
formal announcement of another
change, a break not with the entire
history of the college, but with a long
period—eighteen years.

“On last Friday the Board of the
Summer School met with the Board
of the College (the two Executive
Committees acting as their represen-

. tatives) and announced to the college

its decision to proceed with a long-
range plan, to set up its own home
where not only summer but winter
sessions could be‘held if that is finan-
cially possible, where at once insti-
‘tutes for labor groups can meet and
where in the center of its interest,
the summer session, through experi-
mentation the school may meet the
changing needs of labor. This de-
cision is announced in the papers
today..

“It has been reached by us, the
Board of the School, somewhat to our
surprise. This does not mean ‘sud-
denly.’ At the request of the Board
last spring a survey was prepared by
the Department of Social Economy
(Miss Fairchild as supervisor, Miss
Florence Hemley the graduate stu-
dent in charge). dealing with the
present status of workers’ education
and completing the history of the
school already ‘carried. to.. 1927 by
Helen Hill Miller and Hilda Worth-
ington Smith. Many hours of dis-
cussion have been spent from last
spring on, by the Board, of possi-
bilities of the school if continued here
and if continued in its own home.

“My three winters as chairman of
the Board and three summers of daily
living with the school have, to my own
surprise, converted me. I had taken
for granted my wish to see the ex-
cellent experiment I have watched so
closely: continued on the Bryn Mawr
campus under the same organization,
with the same curriculum and set-up.
But instead I found myself believing
that the school.was now ready to

- move independently,-to recognize and

maintain its standards, to experiment
wisely but freely in helping women
Those
workers are themselves a new group;
increased in numbérs since 1921, , or-
ganized into energetic and serious
unions; far more aware of their own
problems and the use of education in
meeting them. I found myself be-
lieving that, for all this, increase in
labor representation on the Board of
the School was needed, a pied a terre,
absolutely its own, more leeway as to
length of session than this,;or any
college campus can give.

“I suppose we should have still
hesitated to strike out on a new ven-
ture if. a place and a person just
fitted for our needs had not been at
hand. Miss Jean Carter, A.B. Uni-
versity of Rochester, long head of the
Department of English in the Roches-
ter High School, teacher of English at
the Bryn Mawr Summer School for
several sessions, director of the school
in 1936 and 1937, associate director
last summer, has accepted, and ac-
cepted with enthusiasm, the director-
ship of the new school. Miss Carter
is wise, courageous, experienced in
workers’. education, liked by everyone
who knows her. The Board has leased
Miss Hilda Smith’s estate on the Hud-
son at West Park, across the river
and a little farther north than Pough-
keepsie, sixty. acres, high above the
river and with a magnificent view of
it, almost untouched forests behind,

SKIING EVENING HELD

IN GYM WITH MOVIES}



Gym, January 9.—In. the interest of
the all popular winter sport the
Physical Education Department, con-
ducted a “skiing evening” in the
Gym. This included a talk on the
Aarlberg technique by an expert ama-
teur downhill skier, Mr. Chambers.
The lecturer treated the subject from
the beginner’s point of view, and sup-
plemented his talk with an exhibition
of exercises in the Gym in which some
of the audience took part.

Movies were also shown of the
sports available at the Sky Top
Club in the Poconos, and Madge
Lazo outlined a proposed skiing week-
end there later in the winter under
the auspices of the Physical Educa-
tion Department. The bigger the
group collected for this weekend, the
more reasonable the rates can be,
and as the Sky Top: Club offers excel-
lent skating and tobogganing as well
as skiing it should be fun for all
kinds of enthusiasts.



country. Its lack of a college library
can we hope perhaps be met by a loan
from Vassar, ten miles away.

“I ask you t@ read in the papers
this morning or in the News of to-
morrow the resolution drawn up by
the special committee of the Summer
School headed by. Miss Mabel Leslie,
one of the representatives of women
in industry and a; member of the
Mediation Board for New York State
of the Nation#l Labor Relations Board,
I think you will think it a fine state-
ment.

“Bryn Mawr College has been
deeply concerned with the Summer
School. President Thomas saw in a
kind of vision the original idea.“ Pro-
fessor Kingsbury guided and helped
the school through all its early years.
Hilda Smith ‘left the deanship of the
college to accept. its first directorship,
many members of the faculty and
alumnae have served on its Board and
many more on its regional commit-
tees, many have taught in the school

schools, colleges and universities. A
long succession of undergraduates
have worked in its various and boiling
activities and had experiences they
can never forget. From many Bryn
Mawr sources, alumnae and under-
graduates, funds have been raised to
make its annual session possible.
“As chairman of the Summer School
Board, J am wholeheartedly ‘for’ the
larger and I believe sounder plan. I
believe that the mgment for inde-
pendence .has come, the clock has
struck. If we stay, restricted by the
very fact of partnership, we shall fall,
short of what we ought to do and per-
haps finally become insignificant. As
an Re greae and an official of Bryn
Mawr I believe the college campus is
on the way to lose much. The Sum-
mer School has been challenging to
our all-too-easy conformity, a symbol
of wider interests than ourselves, a
recognition of what is going on out-
side our walls, solidarity with the
needs of our world and our'time. The

language, fairly shrieks its feelings. |,
It has even been connected With Da-
daism which recognizes no approach
to reality other: than touch.

The favorite subject of surrealists
is the transitional stage, and ready
made objects are seldom used. They
deal with the premental consciousness
or the unconscious and, as Yoga, pro-
ject consciousness on a wider scale.

In Yoga, conscious meditation .leads
from the, lowest animal sensations to
the noblest, the sphere of the Brahmin
world, where the conscious is liberated
from the lower frame. This libera-
tion-is often represented by a flame
around the top of the head and in
conscious process the Yogi feels the
top of his head open to permit the
rise to this Brahmin world. The Sur-
realistic artist draws his head open
at the top thus also, giving the feel-
ing of an unlimited higher sphere of
sensations. l

But despite the likenesses of Yoga
and Surrealism there are many dif-
ferences. Yoga is an ancient East-
ern concept representing the concen-
trated meditation and: clear thought
of mature minds in a long used and
well developed language; while sur-
realism is a young Western concept
that describes the uncontrolled asso-
ciations of disturbed minds with com-
pletely new and undeveloped words.
The means—the plane of projection—
are the.same but the aims are differ-
ent. Yoga reaches back through the
deepest realms of the unconscious to a
unifying principle while surrealism
extends only to the superficial levels
and does not touch the depths. Yet
the latter helps for an understanding
of the former .and will perhaps con-
ceive of as great an ideal.

The attitude of the Yogi and sur-
realist in: life is the same—both prac-
tice self-denial, The surrealist does
not want to separate art from life and
develops the “art of nonart.” The
Yogi master wants no exercise after
his goal is reached. “When. the moon
is seen the pointing finger need no
longer be looked at.” ~



plan sympathy, contributions of
money and work. I shall be able to
tell. you later, or Miss Carter will do
it herself, more of the details. I say
now that I trust that the interest
flowing from the college to the school
will this spring be stronger and more
generous as we see the school taking
its courage in its hands and striking
out to reach more directly and effec-
tively the purpose for which it was
founded.”

things.

(Gleaned from Mr. Miller)

Béfore the advent of the Spaniards,
everything in Mexico was devoted to
religion. ‘Even the’ surplus wealth
was used for religious purposes. The
Mexican Indian, somewhat like the
North American Indian, developed a
civilization devoted to war and re-
ligion. There was much human sac-

rifice which disappeared almost over-
night with the appearance of the
Spaniard. Mexicans were converted
to Spanish faith which adopted an
Indian maid as the symbol of “the
Virgin. Spanish and Indian archi-
tecture was interwoven. The Span-
iards built many churches which
being rich were decorated with gold
beaten in Spain. The Spaniards ex-
ploited Mexico, taking much from the
Indians and giving little in return.

In 1810 the first revolution . took
place. The Spaniards born in Mex-
ico rebelled because the only priv-
ileged people were imigrant Span-
iards. This resulted in separation
from the home government. In the
revolution of 1857 the church was
separated from the state and property
in which Rome had a vested interest
was expropriated. A constitution was
adopted which prevented the church
from exercising too much power.

In 1910 began the tfevolution which
has continued at intervals ever since.
The leaders are mestizos who, adopt-
ing everything they want from the
Spanish culture, take the Indian, as a
symbol of a nation: The revolution
is a combination of | pre-Spanish,
Spanish, Catholic and world influence.

Mexico has never accepted the no-
tion of private property. A commu-
nistic system once prevailed.in so far
as a community had a traditional
right to the land. When Americans
wanted to buy great tracts of’ this
land and develop its oil resources
they came.into conflict with the Mexi-
can, who believed that: surface and
sub-surface rights were two different

Charles Laughton and I
, by Elsa Lanchester —

‘Charles Laughton, in his preface’
to his wife’s memoirs, states that he
spends half his time murmuring to
himself, “Dear Elsa, bless her heart, -
the sweet little pet,” and the other
half wondering at her flashes of in-
sight and, her power of caustic cém-
ment. Presumably, he knows Elsa
Lanchester better than her readers
can, so they will have, to” take his
word that this is so; for otherwise,
from the actual perusal of Charles
Laughton and I, they would never
suspect it. 7

Elsa Lanchester, in: fact, spends ap-
proximately three hundred pages in
revealing Hérsetf-to be, aside from
her acting, an insular, narrow-
minded, flashy-vulgar little Cockney,
uniting gll the prejudices of her class
with all the curious childishness that
is sometimes ‘characteristic of her pro-
fession. There is an almost infantile
confidence that the grown-ups are in-—
terested in their little affairs, about .
the volumes of reminiscence that, all
actors inevitably write. after they
have reached a certain age. All these
productions are singularly alike, and
Elsa Lanchester’s is no exception to
the rule. There are the usual tritely
humorous anecdotes concerning per-
formances or actors; the usual as-
sumptions that nobody but an actor”
can really understand the soul of
Shakespeare. There are the usual
observations about famous plays, re-
marks that any English major in high
school could better; the usual dullish
life-history; and finally, the usual un-
conscious revelation that Socrates
was right when he said that great
artists wrought under an inspiration
completely separate and apart from
their normal character, and should,
therefore, not consider . themselves
authoritative or superior because of
it.

If you wish to pass a pleasantly
idle or empty afternoon, or if -you
are interested in the opinions and
character of a young woman with the
instincts, reactions, and occasional
sharp wit of a good London coster-
monger, this is the book to read. On
the other hand, if you are truly con-
cerned with the genius of Elsa Lan-
chester and Charles Laughton, the
best_course is to take your money and
go to seé-Rembrandt or the Wives of

Glass Fermula

Found by B. M. Alumna

Katherine Blodgett’s Discovery Cuts
Out Only 1% Light —





(The following article concerning the work
of a Bryn Mawr alumna was taken from the
New York Herald Tribune,

A938)

Schenectady, N, Y., Dec. 26.4-Dis-
Sovery of a coating that makes glass
invisible so that it disappears from
view like the wearer of Siegfried’s
legendary cap, was announced today
by Dr. Katharine B. Blodgett, Bryn
Mawr, 1917, noted woman scientist.

Ordinary thicknesses become clear

December 27,

‘as air and reveal how much human

eyes have been missing in looking
through even the finest glass. Purest

. glass transmits about 92 per cent of

light, as compared with more.than 99
per cent with the new coating. A
coated pane is visible only. by its dim-
ly-outlined edges. . , .

New feats in photography seem
possible. Normally a camera len$ cuts
out 8 per cent. of light. With some
better types of cameras, using three
or four lenses, this means a loss of
25 to 35 per cent of the light reach-
ing the plate. Coated lenses would
give that much increase in light..

An incredibly thin film on both sur-
faces of glass is the secret of this
scientific miracle. The film is about
four millionths of an inch, or one-
quarter the wave-length of light, in
- thickness,

Dr. Blodgett is of the General Elec-

- tric Company’s research laboratory.

Her work is an example of “pure”
science, which seems not to have the
Temotest practical value, suddenly do-
ing something revolutionary. The
impractical thing was finding that an
oily film a single molecule thick can
be spread on the surface of water.
This discovery was made by Dr.
Irving Langmuir, of General Electric,
winner of the Nobel Prize in chemis-
try. Miss Blodgett is his« associate.
They found that by dipping a piece
of glass through the floating film, the
single-molecule layer would transfer
-to¢the solid surface. Each,dip adds
one layer. Glass is dipped usually
forty-four times to build the thick-
ness of a quarter wave-length of light.
The scientific world was incredu-
lous when Dr. Langmuir first an-
nounced the mono-molecule - films.
However, he demonstrated their real-
ity by taeir color changes, which
showed that reflected light was broken
up in the films, like rays which gave
the .iridescence to“the wings of a

Ba beetle. fi

This fact. was applied practically
by Dr. Blodgett. Films one-quarter
ef a wave-length. thick are just right
to cause the crest of one wave to over-

’ lap the trough of another as the light

—

a

tries to reflect. ° The result is cancel-
lation of wave motion, and without
wave motion there is no light.

This caneellation of reflection does
not, however, result in any loss of
light. The light that ordinarily would
be reflected goes on through the glass.
‘A-small fraction of one per cent of
light, which is absorbed inthe glass},
itself, is the only lo’s. It is too slight
to be seen unless the glass is very
thick. c

The chemical formula of the coat-
ing is not made public and the process
is not on the market nor its products
for commercial sale. In the last six
months Dr. Blodgett has found about
half a dozen chemicals to render glass
invisible. The problem has been to

; get one that would not wipe off. Un-



officially it is reported that this kis

Reports of Convention





Stresses Need of Progressive Action
For Democracy



(Specially contributed by Retsey
Dimock, /' ® Saw

Common Room, January 10.—At 4
meeting well attended by faculty and
students, .reports of the commissions
which took ‘place at the Fourth Na-
tional Convention of the A. S. U.
were given by Bryn Mawr delegates.
A short organization meeting to plan
the actual work of the various com-
mittees will be held on Sunday eve-
ning, at 7.30.

The entire convention reflected the
strong feeling of the student move-
ment that in order to face the changed
political. conditions since ‘the agree-
ment of Munich, intensified action
must be taken to preserve and extend
democracy throughout the world. The
réturned delegates pointed out what
wide support the A, ‘S. U. convention
received from ‘prominent individuals
such as President Roosevelt, Mayor
LaGuardia, Ordway Tead, Chairman
of the Board of Education of New
York City, and Max Lerner, former
editor of the Nation and at present
professor at Williams,

Individual reports were made on the
decisions taken at the --convéntion.
Emily Doak, '39, reported that dur-



the film some minute particles that
can be dissolved with acid after the
coating.

Several, examples of use are on ex-
‘hibition in the laboratory of Dr. W.
D. Coolidge, director of research for
General Electric. One is a dial with
a pure white face, covered by glass.

uncoated, half the dial face looks
slightly gray and dusty. This is due
to failure of some‘of the light to pass
through the glass.’

In a framed photograph, having its
glass striped with the film, the con-
trast appears almost grotesque. At

graph ‘is almost obscured behind the

in her report on The America We
Want to Live In that these demands
can be met only by active citizens
well prepared through education to

‘take their part in maintaining democ-

racy. The convention, she stated,
suppprted wholeheartedly movements
toward labor unity, extension of NYA,
federal social security projects, and
adequate health and housing pro-
grams. The convention went on rec-
ord as opposing all racial and relig-
ious diserimination.

In reporting on the session, The
World that will Give Us Peace, Joy
Rosenheim emphasized the fact that
basically ‘the A. S, U. peace position
has not changed insofar as it con-
siders U. S. foreign policy along with
a democratic domestic policy as the
essential feature of national defense.

FRENCH CLUB PLANS ©
A PLAS BY CLAUDEL

The French Club has chosen to give
this year a modern play, L’Annonce
Faite a Marie, by Paul Claudel, whem
many people consider the greatest
living French ,poet.

The play is- modern only in the
sense that it is .by a contemporary
author, since its flavor is more nearly
medieval. It lends itself admirably
to staging and costuming, according
to Louise Thompson, who is set and
costume designer.

There are six-main parts and sey-
eral bits. Tryouts will start this
week at hours’ to be announced later.
Three copies of the play are on the
French Reserve.

essary to make every person aware of
the value and force of democracy.

In discussing plans for local. chap-
ter work, Bess Lomax made it cléar
that the Bryn Mawr chapter will be
working very closely with the Phila-

delphia district:in its plan for a sur-

vey of the status of youth in Penn-
sylvania.

Bill Hood, district secretary, ex-
plained this survey by saying that
now the government recegnizes the
importance of students throughout
the country. It is up to the chap-
ters to support bills before Corigress
for the benefit of young people. and
to integrate the ideas of members now
in preparation before the Assembly.
The actual. survey will study the edu-
cational retrenchment in Philadelphia,

‘the value of present day public school

education, the crime situation in this
neighborhood, with special regard to
various income groups, and the type
of recreational and political youth or-
ganizations which exist today.
