ESPECIALLY DRAMATIC
Goodhart Hall, March 23.—The ve
enna Choir Boys, who sang at Bryn
Mawr in January, reappeared in aj]
German movie, The Orphan Boy of|
Vienna. The. setting of the senti-
mental story showed both the school
life and the travels of the young chor-
isters. Their excellent singing was re-
eorded in the Viennese cathedral, in
open air busses and at their summer
hotel in the Tyrol.
The story concerned an orphan,
Toni, who joined the group of Choir
Boys, aroused fatherly affection in a
musical tramp, Joseph Blueml, and,
after heroic sacrifice, won the moth-
erly love of Schwester Maria, a nun
who was housemother to the 80 boys.
Toni pleaded guilty to a theft when
_ Suspicion pointed to Maria, and hav-
ing left in disgrace, nearly drowned,
in a brook. The lost. money. was
found and Toni, now a hero, revived
while Maria rubbed his hands and his
fellows sang an open-air mass on a
spectacular-mountain slope.
Plentiful and varied singing con-
tributed to make the total impression
charming in its sincerity and sim-
plicity, despite the melodramatic plot
and jerky filming. In the cathedral
at Vienna, Toni first showed his in-
terest in music when he heard the
choir sing a Kyrie Eleison. In his
hut on the du Toni sang while he
washed dishes, accompanied on the
accordion by his tramp friend. Toni’s
performance when he found himself
in a group chanting the Austrian
equivalent of “Good morning, dear
Teacher,” to their manager gained
him admission to the choir. ;
The individual pictures showed ex-’
cellent photography. The fault lay
in the sequence which was often
jerky, the fade-outs being particu-
larly unsuccessful. The director also
showed a tendency to take shots from
below of scattered people on hillsides,
boys picking edelweiss, or a score of
Tyrolese at mass, identical except for
their astonishing beards. The shots
of the interior of the cathedral were.
well suited to the singing, and the
filming of the Alpine scenery dra-|
matic, particularly a brief scene *of a
crucifix reflected by, the sun against
a snowy peak.
The script also relieved the story..
The German ‘ines were very funny
and the English subtitles were aptly
translated, -The prefect of the boys’
-sehool,a—-solemn-—youth—with— dark
rimmed glasses, talked continually of
his pedagogisch principles while Jo-
seph Blueml, the tramp, .addressed
him as Mr. Defect. Much of the
movie was enlivened by this mild
humor.:* Incidental horseplay added
further diversion as in the scene

Harold J. Laski, Professor.of Po-
litical Science at the University. of
London, will lecture in Goodhart on
Thursday, April 14, at 8.20. His sub-
ject is The British Labor Party and
here and abroad as the outstanding
modern political scientist.
A graduate of New College, Oxford,
he taught history at McGill ahd Har-
vard Universities. While he was in
this country he also lectured as an
exchange professor at Amherst and
Yale. In 1920 he returned to Eng-
land and since that time has been
don.
His principal work was done on
historica} studies of the~problem of
sovereignty and many studies on the
seventeenth century. For a long
time he was familiar as an exponent
of political pluralism. In hig more
recent books, however, he has seemed
to be working out a different theory
of state.
Mr. Laski is terested in legal and
constitutional’ questions. Since 1920
he has worked on various committees
for adult education, and became a
member of the Industrial Committee
in 1926. He served with the Labor
Party in 1929 as a member’ of the
Lord Chancellor’s Committee on Dele-
gated Legislation, and in 1932 was
made a member of the Departmental
Committee on Legal Education.
His publications are well-known to
economics and_politics-students:--They +
include: The Problem of Sovréignty,

Wave Motion Shown
In Schilling Lecture
Sound Made Visible for Study
‘ Of Interference Phenomena
By Oscillograph °
Haverford College, April 4.—Dr. H.
K. Schilling, professor of Physics at
Union College, Nebraska, gave a dem-
onstration lecture to show, by the
use of sound waves, those properties
which are common to all forms of
wave motion. Mr. A. Lindo Patter-
son and members of his physics class-
es were invited from Bryn Mawr to
attend the lecture under the auspices
of the Haverford College Physics de-
partment.
All forms of wave motion, in light,
sound, or radio, said Dr. Schilling,
are propagated with finite velocity
and in straight lines. These proper-
ties, with the principles of Young and
Huygens, were the bases for the dem-
onstrations. Young’s principle states
that at. points where two or more
waves of the same kind _ intersect
either destructive or constructive in-
terference takes place. In the case of
sound this produces either a silence,
when a crest and a trough coincide,
or a louder tone where two crests
occur simultaneously. Huygens’ prin-
ciple states that’ any point on a wave
front, as the vibration spreads spher-
ically outward, acts as a new source
of spherical vibration.
The phenomena which Dr. Schilling
displayed by using a beam of sound
are more commonly observed in light
beams. The advantage of the former
method is that: the wave length of
sound measures about two or three
centimeters, whereas light wave length
measures around 0.00005 centimeters.
In studying the behaviour of waves,
any dimension less than the wave
length can be considered as a point,
so that apparatus for studying sound
waves is large and easy to manage.
Dr. Schilling used an oscillograph
on which selected sound vibrations, re-
ceived in a microphone, appeared as
oscillations of a green line. A whistle
of inaudible frequency was placed in
the back of a narrow sounding box
so that the wave front of the emerg-
ing sound. beam: was_ relatively
straight.
Treating this beam as though it
were a beam of light, Dr. Schilling
showed that it could be reflected be-
tween multiple “mirrors”, or cast a
“shadow” of silence. The location of
the beam was shown by the positions
of the microphone for vibration ‘of the
green line. When he used a reflector
that was narrower than the beam the
sound was no longer limited to its
straight paths. This narrow. source
acted as a single point so that, ac-
cording to Huygens’ principle, the vi-
bration _ spread out. Combination..of |.
slits or gratings in.the path of the
beam provided two or more: point
sources each sending out interfering
spherical vibrations. As thé micro-
phone was moved into the places of
destructive interference the minimum
of vibration showed in the diminished
oscillation of the line. Following
Young’s principle such a point was
at.a distance one-half of a wavelength
farther from one source than another.
After showing that sound reflected
from solids he repeated demonstra-
tions using a liquid “mirror” of a wet
screen and a gas “mirror” of a ro
flames. The acoustical ana-
were performed. By moving the mi-
crophone between the opening of the
sound box and a “mirror” which was
a whole number of wave léngths from
the whistle, Dr. Schilling showed the
standing waves of sound which are
found in-an-orgair’Pipe. Suey

Government Has Belied
Promise, Says Dr. Gay
Flexner Lecturer in Interview
Relates Varied Career
Dr. Edwin Francis Gay, the Flexner
Lecturer for this year on the Eco-
nomic. History of England During the
Renaissance, outlined some. of his
views on contemporary politics in an
interview for the News.
After graduating in 1890 from the
University of Michigan, which, he re-
marked, “inspired him with an in-
satiable desire to learn something,”
Dr. Gay studied for 12 years in Ger-
‘many. He returned to teach economics
and economic history at Harvard from
1902 to 1919, was the first dean of
the School of Business Administration,
1908-19, and was then called to edit
the New York Evening Post from
1920 to 1924. The paper was a strong
supporter of the League of Nations.
During the war years, Dr. Gay was
active on many committees for the
organization of economic activities,
and. in 1918-19 headed the Central
Bureau of Planning and Statistics,
which advised the President on coor-
dination of government agencies and
activities. In 1924, he returned to
Harvard and taught economic history
until 19386, when he accepted a perma-
nent position on the research staff of
the Huntington Library.
“A democrat of the liberal tradi-
tion” according to his own definition,
Dr. Gay believes that “the world must
move toward increased social con-
trols.” The Roosevelt administration,
he feels, opened quite hopefully, but
it has belied its promise and fallen
into several evil courses. -
a
The unbalanced budget and par-
ticularly the large quantities of gov-
ernment obligations held by the banks
are, to Dr. Gay, the most dangerous
factors in the present situation. Al-
though actual bank reserves are re-
putedly ‘high, the supply effective to
back loans is greatly decreased by the
quantity of government debts which
the banks hold. At present few loans
can be made unless many government
bends are sold.
A second threatening trend is the
increased influence of pressure groups.
This is owing, Dr. Gay believes, to the
government policy of “uniting doles
and grants with political action, thus
dangerously ~ _ undermining political
morality.” — Bn Seas eaeeexuan
Dr. Gay finds the administration’s
course of action in the depression
marked by presidential vacillation and
much fictitious improvement. “In-
stead of a recovery bf confidence, we
had. a recovery. shot’ through” with
fear.” Many business men accumu-
lated large inventories in fear of

Goodhart, April 4.—The first of a
series of six public talks under the .
Mary Flexner lectureship was deliv-
|
ered-by Dr. Edwin Francis Gay on —
the subject of The Price Revolution in
England; its Causes .and_ Conse-
quences. Dr. Gay who is a Professor
Emeritus. of Harvard University, will
speak on the general field of the Eco-
nomic History of England During the
Renaissance (1485-1640). In his later
lectures he will discuss the conflict
between the inherited mercantilism. of
the mediaeval age and the rising capi-
talist system.
Characterizing the price revolution
as a west-European phenomenon, Dr.
Gay traced its parallel courses in
Spain, France, Germany, and Eng-
land. The average price rise in all
these countries reached its peak during
the first half of the 17th century. In
all, and particularly in Spain, this
rise reflects the constantly increasing
flow of silver and gold from America
into Europe.
Contemporary analysts declared the
price revolution a result of any one
of a number of evils, ranging from
bad harvests to moral decadence.
Finding most of their explanations
exaggerated, Dr. Gay believes that the
influx of gold and silver was certainly
the principal cause, though most of
the contemporary theories are par-
tially true.
The price rise began in Spain in
the early years of the 16th century,
was~evident everywhere by 1520, and
reached its latest peak in England in
the middle 17th century. The course
of the revolution was roughly similar
throughout Europe, though Spain led
the-movement both in time and in the
heights to which prices rose. Since
the price inflation was a European
phenomena, warned Dr. Gay, we
should not draw géneral conclusions
about its course in any one country
without checking the facts and ten-
dencies elsewhere.
Three groups of prices, each rising
to. different heights, can be distin-
guished in the general trend. Agri-
cultural prices soared highest, while
rare foreign imports—spices, sugar,
and the like—changed ‘the least, and’
manufactured goods made an inter-
mediary rise. Technological improve-
ments may have helped to prevent
violent price changes in the latter two
groups, while the lack of such ad-
vances perhaps contributed tothe
dearness of agricultural products.
The causes of the revolution were
discussed by Dr. Gay through an
analysis of the many explanations

EXCERPTS From EXILE
5 Little Saint Mary’s Lane,
Cambridge, England,
March 21, 1938
To the Editor of the COLLEGE NEWS:
-This is from England, where it is
spring, but there has been no winter,
All year, the lawns have been vivid
green. There were roses in Decem-
ber, and tiny daisies on the common
in February. The year at Cambridge
is ‘divided into three sections, and it
is now the end of the Lent term. A
“full term” consists of only two
months, sixty days and: fifty-nine
nights, but you must spend all those
nights in Cambridge, “within sound of
the bells of Great Saint Mary’s
Church”. In compensation for week-
ends, there are five weeks of vacation,
both at Christmas and at Easter, when
Post people go abroad [or, ,in the
spring, on walking tours and reading
parties].
The academic system of the univer-
sity is, of course, very different from
that at Bryn Mawr. University lec-
tures are open to members of all the
colleges, but the students “read” only
one subject. When that has been
chosen, they are assigned to one or
more supervisors, for whom work is
done every week. Progress is optional,
however, and the only tests are the
exams in the spring. Graduates of
other universities and colleges are
either “research students” like Eliza-
beth Monroe and Betsy Wycoff, or
“affiliated students” like myself. Af-
filiated students work for the tripos,
or honours’éxam, which, if passed at
the end of two years, gives a B.A. de-
gree. This automatically becomes: an
M.A. after a certain time (if one wish-.
es to pay for. the privilege) !
I am sorry that I shall not be
able to. stay for two years, for I have
enjoyed these two terms exceedingly.
Although I am, again doing work for
a B.A. degree, it has been with a dif-
ferent and wider approach and I was
very glad to have a _ background
already established. The emphasis on
Atlantic, and suggests the old axiom
that the more one knows, the more
one realizes one’s ignorance.
Extracurricular activities are nu-
merous and varied. There is a club
for almost every subject and every
political party. There have been boy-
cott parades, readings of: The Waste
Land, balls, concerts, and plays. I
even saw the’ impossible, a good un-
dergraduate production of King Lear.
Sports are equally numerous; no foot-
ball games and cheering, but rugger
and rowing. Now, the great question
is whether the Cambridge crew (which |
sports two Americans) will beat Qx-
ford in the April race on the Thames.
The intercollegiate races are very
amusing. Since there is not room on
the Cam for some seventy-five boats
(each college has two or three) to line
up abreast, the boats are divided .into
sections, and placed at intervals. The
object is to “bump” the boat ahead,
position having been determined by
the bumps of the day before. The
coaches ride bicycles along the banks,
shouting and shooting guns to encour-
age their crews, the umpires ride
horses,. and. the onlookers stampede
back and forth, trying to avoid horses, |
guns, bicycles,-and the oars of those
boats shoved into the shore.’
Even Newnham, my own college,
has a crew, which is thoroughly cursed
whenever it appears on the river, and
which, though it applied, was not al-
lowed to attempt bumping. Cambridge,
less progressive.than Oxford, does not
admit women as members of the Uni-
versity. I find this an advantage,
however, since we receive the regular
University degrees, and do:‘not, likeq
the men, have to wear gowns ‘to lec-
tures and after dark. Similarly, qne
is not liable to arrest by the “pe
tors” who eep order in the town. , (A
proctor, however, has the peivilege to

PUBLIC OPINION —
To the Editor of the College News:
Having just read the fiery expres-
sions of Public Opinion ‘inspired: by
your late editorial, I hastén to add to -
the ‘general bulk, hoping that it is .
not all a dead issue by this time.
I feel most strongly that both
aesthetically and,morally speaking
~} cause” With ‘no
great admiration foNBryn Mawr light
fixtures; I do- not yet ¢gndemn them
to such depths of hidioSity that the
superposition of assymmetric hoops
festooned with grimy old lingerie rib-
bons ranks as an improvement;* nor
yet, in my mind, does the old-fash-
ioned tradition of friendship, whether
practiced innocuously or rejected in-
discriminately*, seem very much con-
cerned. It appears. to me that the
only acceptable excuse. for hoops,
hoop-rolling ~and _hoop-preserving,
comes under the heading of pure sen-
timental symbolism. This is not in-
tended. to -be a criticism. Personally
I rather admire those who are capable
of indulging freely and _ unselfcon-
sciously in such forms of sport and
can only wonder why they refuse to
admit their sentimentalism. Unfortu-
nately, and to my own discredit, I am
not made that way. Never (except
at Christmas which doesn’t count)
have I given or received tokens of
friendship, so I have not yet been
obliged to conceal them in different
parts of my bed-chamber, but I should
like to.express the apologetic and
purely selfish wish to be spared the
hoep ceremony and all that it entails
next spring.
This cold reserve does not, as might
easily be suspected, depend entirely
upon my -present absence from Bryn
Mawr, which obviously lessens all
hoop-culling opportunities. If the
tradition persists and I find I have not
sufficiently benefited from the chari-
table S. A. H. D. (Society in’ Aid of
the Hoop-Deficient) I shall immedi-
ately go to the most expensive hoop-
store in Ardmore and equip ‘myself

To the Editor of the College News:
We all agree that Little May Day is
a moderately silly custom. Without
hoops it loses what little significance
it has. But childish as it is, it is not
so. childish as people who regard
hoops as the criterion for popularity.
The group of those who do, moreover,
is largely composed of Pollyanna girls
who smugly harbor their own May
Day trophies and who feel a consum-
ing sympathy for the less fortunate.
Most of the less fortunate, on the
other hand, seem to loye May Day.
So it appears that the whole college
is considering changing its traditions
for a wvery small group of sensitive
souls.
The giving of a hoop is a very
pleasant trivial gesture from a depart-
ing senior. It is pleasant for those
who get them, and trivial for those
who do not.
If the general feeling is that in-
dividuality should be smothered and
everybody have hoops from every-
body else or no one haye any hoops
at all, why not replace Little May |
Day with a Communist Demonstra: .

CURRENT EVENTS
(Gleaned from Mr. Fenwick)
The in * the
President, following
footsteps of Taft and Wilson, has.
proposed a..Reorganization Bill, the
purpose of which is to reorganize the
executive departments of the govern-
ment for ee omy «and
‘? efficiency. is “eminently sensible
“ and the only reason for opposition to
it is the business men’s “psychopath-
ic’ hatred of Roosevelt. They claim
that it gives the President dictatorial
power. A compromise has been sug-
gested whereby the President may
transfer the work of one bureau to
another, subject to a majority . vote
by Congress. ™& technical poirft is the
constitutionality of a majority rather
than a two-thirds congressional vote.
The » Recession is approaching
alarmingly near to 1932 lows. Talk
of “pump priming” in the last few
days has ‘already steadied the market,
but it is unfortunate that we should
have -to start all over again. Con-
servative Secretary of the Treasury
Morganthau, in his attempt to bal-
ance the budget, stopped his priming
just too soon last year, and in August
the market began to sag.
In Mexico, President Cardenas is at-
mpting to put through his. radical
New Deal, which involves the distribu-
tion of land, some of it American
owned, to the Mexican Indians, and
‘the confiscatioggof about one-half
billion: dollar’s ‘worth of English and
American of] wells. The wells were
taken over, their owners in response
to a demand of the government agreed
to raise the worker’s wages, but re-
fused to grant them a share in ad-
ministering the business. ©
The immediate results of Mexico’s
action are two-fold. Secretary Hull
protested through Ambassador Dan-
iels, admitting Mexico’s legal right of
appropriation but only on condition of
adequate compensation, and America
stopped buying Mexican silver. This
last action was a serious blow to that
country’s chance of paying the com-
pensation. She is now negotiating
with Germany, Italy and Japan, to
sell them oil in order to get money to
pay us. However, she has to sell so
cheaply that the money gained will be
insufficient.
Germany’s talk of “reunion” with
Austria is based on no historical fact.
There was never a close union be-
tween them even under the Holy Ro-
man Empire. In 1815 both countries
-were members of the Germanic Con-
federation, but retained their full sov-
ereignty. The immediate result of
Austrian absorption by Germany is
the imprisonment of some 30,000 peo-
ple and the impending trial of Dolfuss
followers and of Schuschnigg for a
false plebiscite.

The acting .was no more than ade-
quate. The chief emotions were céim-
radeship and filial, maternal and pa-

ousies. These were displayed by
placing arms around shoulders, ruf-
gine hair, gazing soulfully or by grit-
g teeth. Toni was a rather starved

deep set doubtful eyes. Unlike our

posal of becoming a federal state,
with each of its component races form-
ing a canton on the model of Switzer-
land. Since it is fairly obvious that
Ruthenian, German, Hungarian, and
the Polish cantons would secede, the
prospect is not a happy one. Cham-
berlain says that England will not
take up the cudgels for Czechoslo-
vakia. France cannot risk war with-
out Britain, so she, too, has aban-
doned the Czechs.
In Spain, Franco, with his mech-
anized army supplied by Germany and
Italy, has succeeded in cutting the
Loyalist territory in two. The Loy-
alist fall is a matter of a few months
or weeks. Probably a close alliance
between Britain and Spain will fol-
low, since America and Britain are
the only countries capable of lending
the money which Franco will need.
The United States refuses, but Brit-
ain. consents for a _ consideration,
which will probably be the right to
work the’ mines and the assurance
that Germany will not participate.
England and Italy are about to
come to terms for an _ unfortified
Mediterranean, an open Suez Canal,
withdrawal of Italian volunteers from
Spain, withdrawal of troops from the
border of Egypt and Sudan, and ces-
sation of hostile broadcasts.

| BOOK REVIEW |
|
Merrily We glive has lifted the
heavy veil of mourning which we. as-
sumed after the decease of Brian
Aherne’s charm in The Great Garrick.
Brian Aherne, we have decided, shows
to better advantage in modern dress;
he is épatant in a chauffeur’s uniform,
and bouleversant, in tails. Merrily
We Live is overrun, besides, by Billie
Burke at her mous fluttery, Bonita
Granville at her most minxish, Alan
Mowbray at his most Jeevesish, Con-
stance Bennett, and two great Danes,
who are called Get Off the Rug, and
You Too.
Billie Burke is the wife of a sena-
tor and has a passion for tramps; as
the scene opens we see the family
thrown into confusion because the last
tramp has just gone off with all the
silver, kitchen included. The senator
is feebly prodding his honeydew melon
with a sieve. At this juncture, Brian
PEI
because his rattletrap car has rolled
down the hill and been smashed to
smithereens. For some reason which
we could not quite fathom, he is thor-
oughly unshaven, and dressed in most
disreputable clothes.
To the eyes of the senator’s wife,
however, lie is a vision of beauty. She
welcomes him with open arms, in
spite of strong family opposition, and
turns him into an exotic chauffeur,
who conducts himself in a discreet
manner, even though Constance Ben-
nett throws herself at his head. Be-
fore very long he is taking the place
of a dinner guest who dropped out at
the last minute, and is being pursued
by. Minerva, the daughter of ag guest
of honor.
_ The ending is in the old peacent ie
tradition. Brian Aherne suddenly
turns out to be a person of some ac-
count, and is supposed to have gone
to his’ death in/the rattletrap car.
Every member of the senatorial house-
hold faints at one time or another.
When they are not fainting, they are
knocking each other down with the
kitchen swing door. In the midst of
everything, Get Off the Rug, and You
Too, bay noisily. Surprisingly enough,
this is not tiresome. It is prevented
from becoming so, by the reappear-
ance of Brian Aherne, by his awaken-
ing of swooned Constance Bennett

and dissipations were also stigmatized
by contemporary writers as responsi-

working classes was falling in this

the few could hardly have caused
price changes on commodities used by

_ The bad harvests of the 16th cen-
tury have, been seized on by many
‘writers in explanation of the rise.
‘Pointing out that these disasters were
‘only occasional, Dr. Gay denied that
they were furidamental causes of the
price revolution, though probably
they accelerated the existant move-
ment at various times.
The French civil wars and the 80
Years’ War seem to have had surpris-
ingly little affect on prices, although
they certainly disrupted agriculture }..
and other economic activity to a con-
siderable extent. According to sta-
tistics on Bavarian. towns, recently
compiled by Elsas, prices rose only
when war actively menaced the in-
dividual - cities.
Some German writers have pointed
to population increases as responsible
for the price revolution. Their theory
is born out by statistics for Germany,
said Dr. Gay, but accurate informa-
tion is not available for other coun-
tries. It seems unlikely that the
English population change corres-

In his next-lecture, on April 11, Dr.
Gay will discuss in greater detail the
_importance of the influx of gold and
silver, and the monetary depreciation,
as causes of the price revolution. He
will also show the rearrangement of
the class structure which resulted
