One of the drawbacks in our at-
tempts to lessen the difficulties be-
tween capital and labor is the idea
that. because a law is called. uncon-

Capital and labor in England and
Sweden do not attempt to interfere
with or to break each other’s. power.
These two countries are aware of the
interdependence of their industrial
systems and recognize the advantage
_ of working under laws made by trade}
unions. This country is at last on
its way towards working out a system
of this- nature. In the totalitarian
states, labor has no rights.
_ There has been an application
against employees of the Doctriuve.of
Assumption of Risk, the Doctrine of
Contributory Negligence and the Fel-
low Servant Doctrine, in -order to
eliminate the chance’ of recompense
for injury and death in an industrial
accident. Industry and, through it,
society itself then has to pay the cost.
The Doctrine of Assumption of Risk
is to the effect that one who works in
an industry assumes the hazards of
cause of his injury, he cannot combat
or sue another who was equally at
fault. The Fellow Servant Doctrine
carries out the theory that a man will
be more careful if he knows that he

FIRST. OF ASSEMBLIES
GIVEN TO GRADUATES
Goodhart Hall, March. 17.—Inaugu-
rating the first of the special morning
assemblies, Miss Park announced to-
day the award of the Mary E. Gar-.,
rett European Fellowship, highest
honor open to graduate students, : to
Jeah Holzworth, ’36, at present gradu-
| ate scholar in ‘medieval studies. To
Katherine Lever, Swarthmore, ’36, and
graduate scholar in Greek since that
time, the Fanny Bullock Workman
Fellowship was awarded.
Louise A. Dickey, ’87, M.A., ’38,
won the Ella Riegel Scolarship in clas-
sical archaeology. She is . already
studying at the American School of
Classical. Studies in Athens, where
she will continue for the coming year.
After these announcements, the as-.
sembly was addressed by Dr. Janet
Howell Clark, Bryn Mawr, ’10, and
present dean of the women’s college at
the University of Rochester. Speak-
ing on .Women in Research, she
stressed her belief that women had
not only the power to learn and ob-
serve accurately, but also the rarer
gift of creative imagination.
In opening the program, Miss Park
said, “It is appropriate that the first
of these experimental morning assem- _
blies should be given over to, the in-
terests of the graduates. Their in-
terests are those of the whole college.”
The standards of independent work,
and the. attempts at the interrelation
of all knowledge, which the graduate
school carries on, she continued, were
also the standards of the undergradu-
ate. college.

ate School, summarized Dr. Clark’s
achievements and her connections with

STAPLETON ADVOCATES
DEMOCRATIC IDEALISM
FOR EDUCATION TODAY
Common Room, March 17.—Educa-
tion has two major aspects, one the
discovery of truth and continuation of
knowledge, and the other the training
of citizens,” declared Miss Stapleton
in her speech, Democracy and Educa-
tion, addressed to the members of the
Bryn Mawr American Students’
Union. Miss Stapleton defined de-
mocracy as “a state where. the people
may exercise their will and achieve
the power to choose their plén 6f ac-
tion when this will can be ascertained.
The majority will not take from the
minority the right to live as human
beings.”
It is dangerous to support democ-
racy merely as a defense against
somethitig worse. We should support
it rather because we believe it is the
best form of existing government.\_
Ideally, democracy and _ education
should be mutually dependent.
Democracy is the best environment
for the discovery of truth, but not
the only~ one. .-.No matter what re-. -
strict ay ‘be placed upon the ac-. °~
tivities universities and students,
as in present-day Germany, “truth has
eternal patience and remains to be
rediscovered.” | Unbiased _ scientific
‘knowledge developed under one. kind
of government is equally valuable un.
der another. However, democracy
does have a definite advantage because
to obtain objective truth one must
have ‘wide experience and a variety
of solutions to choose from.
One fault in our modern system of
education lies in the fact that the
people “searchingfor truth are not
those who are training young Améri-
cans to be citizens. Consequently, this
training has lagged behind the ©

Academic Procession
By the simple recital of names and achievements of women in
research, Dean Clark: laid down the proof and reason for graduate
study, and for the award of fell wships such as those announced by
Miss Park. From a technical point of view, the effectiveness of her
address lay in the fact that she never lapsed into the usual moral and
_ passionate appeal for the graduating class to go out and forge a better
world. Instead, the awards were made, Dean Clark delineated the
results of} past awards, and the contact was obvious.
The significance of this link is often» nebulous, parti¢ularly to
undergraduates. We rarely get any impression: of the continuity
“Stretching from the fifteen neatly separated courses which we take, to
revolutionary achievements currently being made in research and
theory. These achievements, and the people who make them may, by
chanee, interest us personally; more often, we merely think of them
as phenomena in a particular profession which we are not going to
follow, and which, therefore, is completely dissociated from our own
interests.
Granted that the majority of us have no thoughts of doctors’
degrees, nevertheless we are all in college now—presumably because we
expect. to find or accomplish something which will bear on future inter-
ests. ‘This being the case, the achievements such as those recounted by
Dean Clark, and the graduate scholars who are, and will be, respon-
sible for such advances, are integrally connected to us. They are the
source, in matter and ‘faculty, of whatever does interest us in the
undergraduate curriculum. The fact that most of us will not become
Women in Research is irrelevant. If we have any reason for intruding
into the academic line, we cannot blandly regard the work of those who
form the line as entirely ,distinct from our-own.

Latest Hitler Coup
Discussed by Miller|
Guus Policy Since Munich
Directed Toward Oil, Grain
Of Roumania
TO ANNEX UKRAINE
IS. ULTIMATE GOAL
-In an interview on the: recent de-
velopments in central Edrope, Dr.
Miller, head of the sociology depart-
ment, stated his opinion that the an-
nexation of Czechoslovakia has been
only incidental in Hitler’s “drive to
attention of the Euehrer has been
fixed upon Roumania, This state, with
its grain fields and ‘its minerals and,
above all, its rich oil deposits, is in-
valuable to Hitler as a source of, much
needed men and supplies in his pro-
gram of ‘defensive aggression”
against the western powers, and as) a
preliminary step in the sig
his ultimate goal — the Ru n
Ukraine.
Thére are several factors which will
facilitate ultimate Nazi domination
of Roumania. First, Rou'mania’s pop-
ulation is essentially a medieval one;
it was held under Turkish rule until
the Treaty of Versailles, .and its peo-
ple are highly illiterate. Secondly,
the government is badly organized.
Although King (Carol recently put
down a Nazi uprisi and expelled
many of its participantSx.there re-
mains a large Nazi group which is at-
tempting to infuse its doctrine through
he land.
The third and most imminent dan-
ger lies in the fact that there is a
large Jewish population, counterbal-
anced by a very strong anti-Semitic,
section. The Nazis will seize this op-
portunity to play upon their racial
ideology. A single hopeful feature is
the existence of strong national feel-
ing in Roumania which will resent
Before attacking Roumania, Hitler’s
firstgstep, said Mr. Miller, will be in
connection with Hungary. Under the
Versailles Treaty, Transylvania, form-
erly a Hungarian possession, was
given to Roumania. It will’ not be
difficult for Hitler to induce Hyungar-
ian “cooperation” in regaining that
territory. After this move, a German
protectorate over Hungary will be-
come practically inescapable. Hitler
may make a few concessions, but only.
feeling may exist in Hungary. As she
has been governed by a virtual dic-
tatorship since the war, Hungary will
fall in comparatively easily with the
Nazi regime.
In Mr. ‘Miller’s opinion, it widl be
a matter of accident whether Hungary,
or Poland, is the first to come under
German domination. The annexation.
of the Ukraine would necéssitate tak-
ing eight million people from Poland:
If Hitler thinks thatthe acquisition
of Poland is of primary importance
in his drive, he will be met first of all
by the strong and deep-rooted dislike
of the Poles for the Germans. Recent
demonstrations by Polish students
indicate that this ancient antipathy
has been enormously augmented by
the doctrines and policies of the Nazi
regime.
German acquisition _ of Memel, ac-
cording to Mr. Miller, would not be as
illogical as it may seem. ‘For many
centuries, this area has been almost
purely German. Hitler would not
necessarily have to assume control
over all of Lithuania following this
annexation, but very probably Lithu-
ania, as well as Latvia and Esthonia,
There
is far more logi¢’in the annexation of
the Baltic states than in that of
Czechoslovakia. Hitler “verya, un-
truthfully”
brought the Czech’ peoples back into
the German Reich, when actually they
|have never. beena—part—of—it._On
the other hand, the Baltic states were
at one time definitely German, al-
though Russia maintained a_political
sovereignty over them for more than
a hundred years. e
Mr. Miller concluded by saying that
he doubts if Hitler. or any member of
Lhis staff could, at this. moment, ‘tell
whether the next ‘move will be to the

THEATRE REVIEW
(Last aoa Broadway ‘prided itself
on d'seovering new and superior tal-
ent in the “person of Paul Vincent
Carroll, Irish author of. Shadow and
Substance. The play was a great.stc-
cess and inspired its producers to pre-
sent another offering by the same
playwright. They should be applauded
for their foreSight. Mr. Carroll’s
The White Steed quietly but firmly has
taken its place as one of the ‘finest
plays of the year. ;
Mr. Carrol added the following au-
thor’s note to the program explaining
the myth on which The White Steed
is based: “This play is symbolically
based. on the old tale of Ossian, the
son of Finn, who was taken away by
the lovely Niam on her white steed
to the Land of Youth. Returning 300
years later in search of Finn, Ossian
finds all the gréat heroes dead and
the land swarming with little black
mene One day he contemptuously
leans down front~the white steed and
hurls into the air a slab of marble
vainly trying to raise, but in doing
so, he smashes the saddle-girth, and,
as his feet touch the earth, he withers
miserably away....” -
Both The White Steed and Shadow
and Substance attempt to analyze the
religious convictions of the Irish peas-
ants, but the later play is far better
constructed and developed. The ac-
tion always has a close connection to
the main theme: the opposition of the
old and idealistic to the impetuous
young.
The magnificent -performance in
The White Steed of Barry. Fitzgerald,
Abbey Player trooper, as the old
canon, almost defies description. It
is wonderfully mellow and rich, spiced
~with delightful humor. His surrepti-
tious meal of hot strawberry biscuits
gulped down before the: return of
his irate housekeeper is a master-
piece of pantomime. Mr. Fitzgerald’s
best acting is done when his part re-
Hquires—him—to—e
Somehow it is more natural for
us to think of him as some one’s very
likeable grandfather than as a back-
bone of the church.
George Coulouris is awesome as the
stern and forbidditig Father Shaugh-
nessy. He pidys one of the most un-
sympahetic roles of recent years and
seems to relish antagonizing the audi-
ence. “ Moving as if his body were in-

Mr. Coulouris. Her honesty and
frankness help tremendously to stabi-
lize the emotional quality of the play.
It is to be hoped that Miss Tandy
will continue to favor America with
her presence in future .seasons.
The White Steed brings Liam Red-
mond before a-New York audience for
the first time. Mr. Redmond handles
intensely emotional scenes well, but
otherwise he is obscured ‘by the rest
of the cast.
As a whole, the production is prac-
tically perfect. It is “polished and

Under Mr. Willoughby’s direc-

. It was a great advantage to the
choir to have Mr. Willoughby actually
direct instead of being required to
sit at the organ as usual. They sang
Purcell, Palestrina, Bach, and Byrd,
gaining in assurance as they pro-
gressed. A number of other types of
work balanced the program.
Mr. Willoughby played a Ricercari,
by Palestrina, and three chorale pre-
ludes on the organ. Louise Allen and
Ann Updegraff, both freshmen, sang a
duet by Handel, and with Mary New-
berry, ’40, a trio from Mendelssohn’s

Recording of Voices Enlivened
By Redheaded Engineer
In Control Room.
In the inside story of the record-
ing of the presidential speech -broad-
cast by station WXAL, Boston, last
Sunday, the chief figure seems to be
a redheaded dictator with a cigar, the
boss of the control room. Besides
shouting “Begin in 30 seconds on the
minute,” to the confusion of all the
actors, he handed Miss Park her voice
on a horse hair platter, threw work
at Miss Henderson, and marveled that
the choir “could take it so.” The re-
sult of the whole trip, as heard over
the air (with the omission of Mr.
Cigar), was a great success.
Miss Park gave as her speech a con-
densed form of the one she delivered
lin the first chapel of the year.
this she stressed the hope of the col-
lege that “out of Bryn Mawr should
goin each graduate a thoughtful but
prompt and persistent hter for de-
mocracy.” In view of recent events
she could hardly have. picked a more
opportune time and, as the broadcast
was directed to Europe and South
America (though it could also be
heard in this country), it will be most
interesting to hear the reactions to
the speech from abroad.
When Miss Park had finished the
recording of the speech and had gone
into the redheaded dictator’s glass
cage to hear her record, she was hand-
ed what seemed to be a roll of horse
hair (actually the cuttings of the ace-
tate record) and told. that. here was
her speech. The controller later in
the afternoon prophesied that Miss
Park’s voice would carry well over the
air. Sunday showed this forecast to
be correct.
The records made by the 12 choir
members, directed and prepared for
the occasion by Mr. Willoughby, also
sounded exceptionally well, particu-

The marked success of ‘this and Pal-

fact that their arrangements: lent
themselves.most easily to radio repro-
duction. The voice of the announcer,
Margaret Mason, ’42, also came
through very clearly despite static and
interference, _ ;
The actual result on Sunday, how-
ever, does not reveal such sidelights
of the recording as the mad rush that
occurred when the choir was told to
get in place and be ready for a test
trial in twelve seconds, or the time
when they were told to begin in 30
seconds .on the minute and the min-
ute went by without a sound. The
climax came when, at 6 o’clock,
another expected minute passed by
and Mr. Cigar turned to Miss Hender-
son with “Those girls can sing, but
My God, the trouble with them is
their little tummies aré empty! -You
know kids like them eat twice as. much

Everyone was kept busy in _the .re-
cording room, nor was Miss Hender-
son allowed to merely gather material
for next year’s voice tests. On en-
tering the door she was caught by Mr.
Cigar who demanded if she could type.
On her affirmative answer, he é¢alled,
“Boy, get a typewriter for Miss Hen-
derson. She’s going to write out la-
bels for these records.”

small home town paper, graduated to

to the Times.
The value of journalism schools is
still a moot question,' Miss Pope said.
They are scorned by many self-made
editors, among them.the famous Nell
Sneed; former editor of the Kansas
City Star. Naturally, discipline and
practice are valuable, giving the
graduate a good head start, if he
avoids becoming “a big head” about
his superior knowledge.

Degraded Busts Share Taylor Basement
With Sink and Ecclesiastical Portraits
Believing axiomatically that no
is like an old friend, we re-
cently paid a call on our old friends
the-busts of Taylor. Though they are
fallen to a low estate—the ‘basement
—their faces: are as cheerful as ever
(just how cheerful that is we de not
attempt to estimate). They are mis-
erably huddled together on the floor
in such cramped positions that in-
evitably some of the hitherto cere-
monious company show each other
their backs.
All their neighbors have also seen
better days. Annual Reports of
Presidents, once as revered as the
President herself, are now reduced
to the level of the ragman in boxes.
Right. next door are a dismembered
sink and the sort of bent sofa that-
one sits close together on. Several
forlorn *brown gentlemen in an emaci-
ated frame, of dimensions, one foot by
twelve feet, turned their faces to the
wall to avoid meeting us. It was
formerly their function to represent,
among others, Cardinals Manning,
Newman, and the Reverend Pussy.
In the near vicinity are a radio, a
piano, and a victrola, whose effect,
when in simultaneous operation, must
be somewhat comforting ‘to the busts.
Before leaving the basement, we
called on another friend, but he could
not be seen. The Lantern Man is
never to be seen till after dark. But
frien
we know we were leaving our cards
at the rit door because we saw 16
lanterns. through the keyhole.
On ofr way home we were forced
to make a detgur: Finding a sign
that read: there aré-wo class rooms up-
stairs on this side of Taylor, we were
roused by the obvious omission of what
was on top of Taylor, and therefore,
climbed up the stairs. ° Behind the
first door labelled No Admittance to
Students we encountered none other
than J. Wright Taylor, founder, gaz-
ing in effigy out.the stained glass win-
dow we see when we are lying in bed
in the morning. “Being a nice girl

Behind the second door, labeled
Positively No Admittance to Students,
we discovered the nicest. printing
press, and many varieties of bottles.
None of them were collectors’ items,
however, so samples are not now on
exhibition.
‘Up the spiral staircase, on the
fourth floor, we found the cutest little
thing made out of tin. We wish we
could tell you what it is, but we don’t

valid excuse.” There is no time to go
back, to reread, or to wait for some-
thing helpful to turn up, ad “today’s
news is tomorrow’s morgue.”
Miss Pope has worked for fifteen
years on the Times, first as a special
feature writer and later as fashion
editor... At one time during her fea-
ture career, she was. assigned a story
on Rose Livingston, Angel of China-
town, who worked among the victims
of the White Slave Trade.
~Almost—immaediately _Miss_Pope.dis-
covered that her subject, living in fear
of the White Slavers’ revenge, was a
woman without an address and could
be located through only one unknown
friend. By a series of amazing detec-
tive feats, the lady was found, the
story written, and handed to the ed-
iter. “Did you know that Rose Liv-
ingston has no.address?” ‘she asked
him. “Of course,” he replied quietly,
“that is why I-gave you the assign-
ment.” :
Another problem~ faced -her when
she was told to write up the new self-
run Otis elevators. The Otis company
refused to give out any information,
s@ she made friends with an..elevator
boy. Through him she got hold of a
constructor who gave her the required
data, on ‘condition that she inform the
company that she was printing it.
“T called dutifully,” Miss Pope add-
ed, “and told them that I just wanted
them: to know I was using their story
anyway.” After. their first outburst
of indignation, the Otis company re-
lented, published her article in pamph-
lets which were sent to all stockhold-
ers, and offered her a position on
their staff.
When she became fashion editor, the
Times customarily “got their new
styles. from the stores. By going
straight to the designers and whole-
‘sale manufacturers, Mrs. Pope was.
able: to get models six weeks before
release. The styles which now appear
in the Sunday section have never, been
advertised before, and are photo-
graphed by Times photographers in a
studio in the building.
With actual designs, layout ahooks,
galleys and molds, the speaker ex-
plained how her fashion page is com-
posed. First cuts are made of the de-
signs, and captions fitted on the page.

of the season. The final score was
32-23, but‘in spite of the defeat, the
team played well. The Bryn Mawr

zone guarding at its best. However,
the beautifully executed shots of E.

ter line, were impossible to check.
Chris Waples, ’42, was high scorer,
with 14 points. Mary, Meigs, ’39, in-

The series includes three other parts:

500 Members to Attend
Approximately five hundred mem-
bers of thd Nastern Psychological As-
sociation will meet at Bryn Mawr on
March 81st and April Ist, for their
tenth annual Spring meeting. .They
will hear and discuss the latest ex-
perimental and theoretical studies in
psychology. Mr. Helson, a member of
the board of directors of the associa-
tion, has arranged the schedule for
the meeting,
The program committee has pre-
pared for~ meetings in specialjzed
fields, at which the papers of the par-
ticular subject will be read and dis-
cussed. Many of these will be reports
on experimental studies carried on
within the last year, especially in
physiological: psychology and sensory
psychology, |
An especially interesting program
has been - outlined for the group on
Attitudes. One of the papers, to be
read by Daniel Katz and-Hadley Can-
tril, of Princeton, is erititled An
Analysis of Attitudes toward Fascism
and Communism. Other political sub-
jects will be analyzed, especially in
connection with student opinion on
present day world affairs. On! Sat-
urday afternoon, George H. Gallup,
af the American Institute of Public
Opinion, will speak on Some Problems
in the Measurement. of Public Opin-
ion, *
About 800 members of the associa-
tion ‘will stay in the halls on cam-
pus during the meeting. General ses-
sions are scheduled in Goodhart Hall,
and the informal receptions are to be
held ‘in Rhoads. The committee in

"OVERNIGHT BY TRAIN FROM NEW YORK
Mr. Fenwick
“The impending,changes which were
distttssed’ last week,” said Mr. Fen-
wick, “have now, impended,”: The
agitation begun last fall with the aid
of Nazi agents for the cgmplete inde-
pendence of Slovakia has reached a
climax. The independent state of Slo-
vakia was created a week ago—it last-
ed one day, and was promptly turned
into a German province. It appears
that the voluntary surrender by their
president of the Czechoslovakian: peo-
ple and country to the Fuehrer of
the German Reich was due to a threat
made ‘by Hitler to bomb’ Prague.
The new stand which Chamberlain
has taken is of vital significance, The
“Umbrella Statesman” has at last
realized the full extent of Hitler’s de-
ception and expressed the utter col-
lapse of his former naive hopes, say-
ing, “What reliance can be placed on
any other assurances from the same
source?” _We may feel it to have
been an ifexcusable and colossal blun-
der that he did not stand firm last
fall, but, according to Mr. Fenwick,
we must be reticent in our criticism
as we ourselves were unwilling to take
the risk, but clamored that Great
Britain and France should do so.
In his very moving speech, deliv-
ered at Birmingham last Friday,
Chamberlain tried to justify his pol-
icy of appeasement. In that speech
he proved the real worth and integrity
which has been doubted by so. many.
He has now taken up the policy ofre-
sistance and stated that England is
now ready to fight Hitler’s attempts |
at world-mastery, now demonstrated
by recent events. “There is hardly
anything I wouldn’t sacrifice for
peace,” he said, “except the liberty
we have enjoyed for so long.”
On Friday the United States mhdg/
the announcement that we would not
acknowledge the legality of the an-
nexation of Bohemia and Moravia.
The tariff was raised 25%, and trade
relations with Germany will be almost
completely suspended. Mr. Fenwick
urged that more effective action might
be taken by closing’ the Panama Canal
to Germany and by breaking off all
trade relations. oo“
The fate of Hungary will soon hang
in the balance. Unless _protéctive
measures are taken by Great Britain
and Russia, it will soon be ‘ainexed
as a province or. a_ protectorate.
Roumania has been playing into the
hands of the Fuehrer and has signed
an economic agreement ‘turning its
sources of oil and its agricultural-.sup-
plies in the direction of Germany.
The situation was painted in the
blackest of colors. A fundamental
and irreparable blunder has _ been
made in letting things go as far as
they have gone. The anti-Fascist
countries no longer have a choice of|'
action. It is a matter of the lesser

tor’s degree in physics at.Johns Hop-
kins. She returned to Bryn Mawr as
the Huff Fellow in physics, and was
also a substitute instructor for one
year, after which she went into the
physics department of Smith College.
For 17 years Dr. Clark held an asso-
ciate’ professorship in the School of
Hygiene at Johns Hopkins, teaching
bio-physics. This fall she’ became
dean of the Women’s College of the
University of Rochester.
Criteria for Success in Research
In describing the rise of women in
science, Dean Clark recalled that
“there. was once profound scepticism
about women’s capacity to learn.
When it was admitted that they could
learn, there was still grave doubt as
to their creative capacity.” Repeated
successes have now proved their abili-
ties in this line as well. Similar to
the artist, said Dean Clark, “‘a scien-
tist must have an observing eye—or
his imagination will have nothing to
work with. But if he lacks creative
imagination, he will remain a second
rate scientist.”
After outlining the work of several
women scientists are not successful
-because they tend to rely on other
people, are afraid of their own. ideas.
The quality which, we should try to
develop in the women of today is @
quality of assurance without aggres-
siveness.’
As proof of this original work done
in the past by women, Dean Clark

and of Emily Noether—eminent Ger-

of work were spent at Bryn Mawr.

element. She was a forerunner of the
work now being done in the produc-
tion of artificially radioactive sub-
stances.
A second eminent, physicist chosen
by Dean Clark was Liese Meitner, al-
so interested in radioactivity, who has
experimented with the disintegration
products resulting from the bombard-
ment of uranium and thorium ‘with
neutrons. At the fifth Conference
on Theoretical Physics this January,
she introduced the hypothesis that the
nucleus of uranium divides into two
roughly equal parts, and predicted
that recoil particles of energies well
over 100 million electron volts would
result from the breaking down of this
atom.
As third on her list, Dean Clark
placed Dorothy Winch (Mrs. Nichol-)
son), a young English woman, whose}
first work was a highly mathematical
analysis of hydrodynamics. She has
since written a series of papers, in
the field of biochemistry, on the struc-
ture of the protein molecule. Attack-
ing this problem from a mathematical, |
geometrical, point of view, she has
proposed, said Dean Clark, “a struc-
ture-of-the-protein-molecule-as origi=
nal, as provocative, as any of the
current ideas in science. Whether
her ideas are true or not, they are
brilliant and original and have stimu-
lated thought and work along new
lines,..which is finally the criterion by| .
which to measure. great work.”
