' tempt at symbolism in the descrip-
tion of the dam. Symbolical or not,
the two elements fail to cohere.

Of the lighter efforts, I rather
enjoyed Olivia Kahn’s brief biog-
raphy (agreeably illustrated by
Elisabeth Frazier) and -yet I was
disappointed. A snail in. a.tea-cup
‘should be full of attractive possi-
bilities, only one ‘of which here
materializes. The adventure of
Pinkle the Pixie as told by Fran-
ces Lynd must go down as a fail-
ure, except for those who appreci-
ate the whimsical approach to
whimsey.

All four lyrics are definitely in-
teresting. Martha Kent’s first
poem shows thoughtfulness and
real poetic imagination, but does
not quite come off, not so much
because the thought is incoherent
as because the imagery lacks pre-
cision and strength. Her second,
less ambitious, is a success; it
comes all in a piece, and the free
verse here is no longer loose or
“limp, but firmly turned. Priscilla
Schaff in eight lines creates a dig-
nified picture weakened by flat
phrasing in one or two places.
Hester Corner’s poem may be a
little too long; once or twice it
wanders, or fails to be concrete;
the ‘whole (deliberately) Aacks
color. -But Miss. Corner knows
what she is about; nothing is stale
or forced, and the imagery
mostly incisive, and once stunning.

Finally, there is a drawing by
Alice Crowder, amusing and spir-
ited; some of its significance may
be lost on. me. On the whole, this
is a definitely good number. Not
everything is successful, but there
is little fionsense, and very little
pretentious, stupid, or utterly mis-
guided writing. There is certainly
a place “for the college literary
magazine; I wish The Lantern the
luck it deserves.

Department of Philosophy
Supports Appointment
of N. Y. Professor

Tothe Editor of the College News:
Members of the college commu-
nity have undoubtedly been read-
ifg the newspaper accounts of the
controversy which has arisen in
New York over‘the appointment of
the distinguished English mathe-
matician arid “ philosopher, Ber-
trand Russell, as professor of phil-
osophy in the College of the City of
New York. The issue involved in
the demand for the revocation of
his’ appointment is so important
and concerns so deeply the students



your readers should know of the
action being taken by members of
the American Philosophical Asso-
ciation and of the earnest support
of this action by us, the teachers of
philosophy at Bryn Mawr.
The following letter, which ex-
plains itself, was sent last week to
the Board -of Higher Education of
New York City, after having been
widely circulated for endorsement
by teachers of philosophy through-
out the country.

“To the Honorable Board of High-
er Education,

College of the City of New York,
“Ladies and Gentlemen:

‘We, members of the American

tions of learning, that we think

Indeed, any revocation of his ap-
pointment because of his personal
/ opinions would be a calamitous set-
back to that freedom of thought
and discussion which has been the
basis of ‘democratic education. — It
would lead to the institution of an
inquisition by laymen into all sorts
of personal views on the part of a
prospective teacher instead of the
considered judgment of his profes-
sional colleagues who are better
qualified to. know his: competence.

“College students are not infants
to be protected against all contact
with unorthodox ideas. They are!
very near the age when they begin |
‘to exercise their duties as voting
citizens. They read current peri-
odicals and literature and _ they
, take part in the general life of the
community, so that they are as
familiar with unorthodox ideas as
is the rest of the population. Parti-
cularly is it true that college au-
thorities should not presume to act
in loco parentis to students who
live at home. Nor should a teacher
in a college supported by public
funds be subject to the same tests
as those appropriate for theologic
seminaries or parochial schools. It
would indeed be a tragic reversion
to an outworn past if college teach-!
ers were dismissed because, like
Huxley, they did not accept theism
ot, like George Eliot, they did not
entirely accept the conventional
views as to the marriage relation.

Bryn Mawr Record

.. With 25-23 Victory



Saturday, March 15.—After six

undefeated games, the Bryn Mawr

Varsity lost the fast of a glorious
season to Rosemont by the score
of 25-23. Rosemont took the: lead
at the start and for the first time
this winter Bryn Mawr trailed at
the half. Disaster lay for the most
part, not in defective functioning
of the home team, but in
superb shooting of Rosemont’s
forwards.

Waples, 42, seriousiy hampered
by an injured shoulder, was re-
placed by Squibb, ’41, in the sec-
ond half. The veteran skill of
Ligon, ’40, and Norris, ’40, now
appreciably augmented and stabil-
ized, decisively
mont’s lead, and the tide might
have been turned if the Varsity
forwards had made more of the
numerous free throws proffered.
The Varsity guards played a con-

tinuously. effective game.

Saturday, March 16.—The Sec-
ond Team said goodbye to the 1940
season by beating the undefeated
Rosemont Reserves with a seore of
14-12. The score belies the speed
of the game, for the ball moved
smoothly .and quickly. Neither
team had many chances to shoot
and Rosemont let many of them
slip by, although they made nearly
every try count.
