Common Poort April 17.—In the
first of two lectures for the. Art Sym-
posium on Some. Problems in, the
Psychology of: Art, Kurt Koffka,-pro-
fessor of psychology at.Smith College;
discussed: the work ‘of. art,as contain-
ing both:subjective and objective: ex-
perience for. the observer. “Psychol-
4» BY has to investigate the totality of
* experience,” said Dr. Koffka, “the
work of art becomes a particular kind



depends on: both the objective work
and the subjective reaction.”
Considering primarily the psychol-
ogy of the “art object” itself, Dr.,
Koffka began by pointing out that
some works of art have survived
through the ages while others have
not. The question of why this is true
can be answered only when the prod-
ucts themselves can be investigated.
The art objects determine the emo-
tional reactions of the spectator and
consequently must occupy. the central
position in the psychology of art.
Dz. Koffka described four theories
of the relationship of art to the ob-

by it. .The first is the theory of re-
lease in which the stimulus—the art
object—touches, off the emotional re-
sponse of the spectator. The second
theory, that of conditioning, states
that all other emotional. responses to

funda#mental emotions. A third the-
ory connects esthetic enjoyment with

wishful thinking, or wish fulfillment,

‘Mr. Walt Disney came to Philadel-

_|| farce by Austin Goetz, Throughout
|jthe intricate exposition of crime and

rapid pace, seldom dropping out of

! dart and “interspersing suspense with

some of the best straight comedy seen
on Goodhart stage in a long time.

| To outline the plot-within-a-plot, a
director (Robert Bryan, Rhoads), is

' poisoned while playing the part of the

hero in his play, when, at the same
moment, two offstage shots are fired
by his rival. (John Warren, Pem-

Cullen (John Whittaker, Denbigh),
arrives and takes control, spending the
rest of the three acts in unprofitable
sleuthing, accusing each of the cast

comes as a deVacle when it is revealed|

to the audience that this was no crime
at all, but merely the play in re-
hearsal. ‘

From the moment he appeared at
the back of the auditorium in ten-gal-

Whittaker was the outstanding per-
former of the evening. With much
head-scratching and suspender snap-

SANDBURG’S PROGRAM
TO INCLUDE POETRY
AND FOLK CHANTS





On Thursday, April 20, Carl Sand-
burg will give a recital in Goodhart at
8.30 for the benefit of the Mrs. Otis
Skinner Theater Workshop. The ex-
act program is as yet unknown, but
Mr. Sandburg has entitled his lecture:
American ,Folk Songs and Tall
Tales. It. will consist of readings
from his own poetry, and American
folk songs, rendered in his particular
recitative, with guitar accompaniment.

Mr. Sandburg was born of Swedish
parents in Illinois in 1878. His early
school education was fairly sketchy
because it was necessary for him to
start earning his living. at an early
age. After school he spent several|
years doing odd jobs and rambling
around the middle west, working as
he went. Throughout his youth he
read as much as he could, and after
serving fo’ eight months in the Span-
ish-American War, he completed his
education at Lombard College (at the
age of 20). After matriculation from
college Mr. Sandburg became a jour-
nalist and eventually a lecturer and
poet.

Mr. Sandburg’s. original wel re-
flects his knowledge of labor, and his
understanding of simple people. He
presents the rugged side of the Ameri-
can scene, both in its rural and urban
aspects; his rendering is often harsh,
sometimes bitter, and always power-
ful and direct. As a lecturer he is.
unique. His voice adds tremendously
to the poetry he reads, and his chant-
ing of American folk songs (collected
in his peregrinations about. the coun-
try) has become famous.

year a schedule for the whole series
of assemblies should be made out in
advance so as to assure a “balanced
ration.” For instance, one meeting
might be held every year on current
curriculum problems. It was also
suggested that the hymn might now
be omitted since the meeting is no
longer a chapel in any sense. In
Miss Park’s opinion, one of the chief

values of the assembly plan should be :

to demonstrate the importance of ex-
act information;—and—to_teach the
method of defining a problem quickly
and. directly.

Mrs. Collins reported that if $3, 941

Hofmann Interprets

Goodhart, jae 8 11..—-Perhaps the
most noticeable feature of Josef Hof-

perfect assurance with which he

After a brief talk-on ia by

pieces. The Polonaise - Fantasie is

as its form is free. Dr. Hofmann
brought out the short, quickly chang-
ing themes, making a nice contrast
with the following Impromptu in A

The fourth theory, discussed - by
Dr. Koffka in more detail, is that of
Empathy, developed by . Theodore
Lipps. It postulates that all esthetic
objects can.be appreciated only by a
projection of the emotions of the self
or ego into the object. The theory
of Empathy contains two hypotheses:
that our bodily movements and emo-
tions precede the. movements and
emotions seen in the work of art;
and that the zsthetic qualities of the
work of art are really «products “ot
the spectator’s emotions. | ~

popular theatre has an important fus
ture. Since that time they have been
constantly widening the field of their
activities so that today the Settlement
Playhousé is a’ community enterprise,

“We are trying to create a com-
munity theatre dramatizing current
neighborhood ‘problems and national
political and economic events which
directly affect the people in this dis-
trict,” said Miss Lord, who has. re+
cently been visiting Miss Park, in an
interview for .the News. The Play-
house stands in a densely populated
part of the city where ‘poverty and
unemployment have bred social diffi
culties. Miss Lord and Miss Dyer
hope to help improve conditions by
educating the people through the me-
dium of the theatre. :

.In competition with the W. P, A.’s
One Third of-a Nation, the Henry
Street Settlement Playhouse presented
a play about housing requirements
which Miss Lord believes was influ-
ential in establishing housing reform:
The Playhouse directors are now
planning the production of a Living
Newspaper ‘on Socialized Medicine,
suggested by the Wagner bill and re-
cent Albany legislation.

It is essential for the group that
it -be-sppported by persons interested
in the subject matter of this type of
drama for, as Miss Lord pointed out,
no aspiring young actor will lend his
talents to a serious, heavy play unless
its theme.is significant to him. Miss
Lord and Miss Dyer do not give
formal courses in acting, preferring
the actors to learn by experience.
Because the subject matter is taken
from existing conditions the actors
usually play roles familiar to them,
and, once before the footlights, are
absorbed in their characterizations.
The stage villain may be beaten black
and-blue before the final curtain.

The ideal of the group is to have
the scenarios of the plays worked out
cooperatively. For instance, last
year the Credit Union wanted to have
a play produced dealing with its his-
tory and importance. ‘ The Playhouse
company divided into three groups
and each of these rapidly improvised
on the main theme. The final dia-
logue was adapted from these impro-
vizations. __The productions, created

Recently a Cooperative Theatre
has been organized for those who
want theatrical experience more: than
educational opportunities. ‘We didn’t
want a small, arty dramatic group,’
said Miss Lord, “so we fixed. member-

ship fees of ten cents.” This divi-
sion of the Playhouse prbduces
“ready-made” plays, usually those

with social implications such as Hav-
ing Wonderful: Time. A negligible
admission is charged for these pres-
entations.

The Settlement Playhouse also
sponsors community singing, and a
pupil of Hanya — supervising
a dance program. Rehearsals of the
plays are open to outsiders who are
invited to come and “kibitz.”’
the ego is almost annihilated, and
perception in, ; which the ego is driven
or- completely "attracted by the object.”
Enjoyment of art usually occurs s be-
tween these two-extremes.

All of these four theories of the
psychological approach to art were
considered by Dr. Koffka inadequate
unless they recognize the “required-
ness nature” of the art object itself,
“requiredness” being used by the
speaker in the sense of Wolfgang

of Value in the World of Fact.” Ar-
tistic appreciation is aroused not only
by the emotion of the ego but also
by the physiaghomic characteristics
of the work of art. It is only by
the coming together of the two fac-
,|tors, the ego and the art “object itself,

4 ‘ | Sloane Finds Artist Caps. Work
Experiences at Henry ‘Street

Of Impressionists



Coinnann: Root April 16.—Speaking
at the last. of the Art Club series of
exhibitions, Mr, Sloane, associate pro-
fessor of history of art, discussed
Cézanne’s development of the spatial

value. of color. Perfettion “of this
technique enabled the artist to com-
bine the Impressionists’ use of light
with the earlier achievements in drawn
forths. :

In the evolutionary development to-
wards realism, Cézanne’s technique
was thé nécessary suceéssor to that of
the Impressionists. Introducing his
development of this point, Mr. Sloane

defined painting as the representation -

of three-dimensional form on a two-
dimensional surface. The elements
with which the painter has-to deal
are mass, space, color, and a fourth
element, light, which pervades the
other three.

Attempts had previously been made
to produce forms in natural rather
than conventional light; ‘however, in
achieving the color of the instant, the
Impressionists had largely disregarded
the surfaces of the form and the mass
was dissolved.

In* Cézanne’s painting, the planes
are turned to or away from the eye
by the alteration of color, for specific
colors tend to take up a position in
space in regard ‘to the eye. Whether
or not Cézanne realized the principles
involved, in his best pictures. he was
able, Mr. Sloane believes, to give the
appearance of a solid in space by
forcing the colored planes together
in the proper direction so that the
myriad tints would add up to a ser-
ies of forms. “Since the eye/must stop
to assimilate these values, the har-
mony.of a Cézanne can only be real-
ized slowly.

- Cézanne’s treatment of -color itself
also differed from that of the Impres-
sionists, who had tried to set down

the-colors-of nature in a certain, mo- °

mentary light. Believing that a
“least common denominator of color”
persisted through light changes,
Cézanne discarded brilliance in an
attempt to find the universal tones of
nature. When he was_ successful,
said Mr. Sloane, his pictures can take
their light from the outside.

In his watercolors Cézanne tried to
solve the same problems on which he
was working in oils. Mr. Sloane stated
that the watercolors were slighter,
and usually more difficult to realize,

because of the larger spaces left be-—

tween the tones.

In" Weshingion, he went on to say,

on. neutrality, together with all de-
grees of compromise opinions. One

extreme is represented by such isola-}

tionists as Charles Beard, who say,
“Stay at home in the event of war,

lutely necessary trading in commodi-
ties like rubber and manganese.”
They believe that this policy would
prevent the situations that caused our

At the other extreme are _ those
who say that the American public
“would not cut itself off from trade
during a war, and that such isolation
could be maintained only at tremen-

the old “freedoni of ‘the Seas” policy.»

The two most. important compro-
mise policies are the Pittman Bill and
the Thomas and Guyer Amendments.
The Pittman Bill is a cash-and-carry
plan, whereby belligerents could buy
supplies without credit and take them
away in their own ships. Its sup-
porters assert that it prevents any
risk to us, as no financial interests
would be involved.

The Thomas Amendment in the
Senate, and the Guyer Amendment

History Dept. Uses.

Exams in Allied Fields, Summer





e “Miss Robbins” of the history
department ‘said that she always
counts on her seniors for dates has
foundation in fact. If a history major
does not know a date or a fact off
hand, she is. able to find it in record
time. By graduation she has a thor-
ough mastery of the library.

Even in Minor History the student
avoids summary texts, reading instead
books which treat topics more fully.
As she works in the more advanced
courses she spends increasing time in
making reports on a private topic
from scattered material. By senior
year, particularly if she is doing
fhonors, she is working with much the
independence of,a graduate student.
For Mr. Gray’s Europe Since 1870 a
reading knowledge of French is re-
quired in order to study the pre-war
state documents, and German is recom-
mended.

The History department, for the

|comprehensive preparation, has_ set

up a tutorial system of study, like
that of the English universities and
lof Harvard and Yale. One-third of
‘Miss Robbins’ time is scheduled for
conferences with the majors, singly
or in pairs. One senior has defined
this individual attention as “a private
course ‘in what you have left out.”
Each. of the three comprehensive
examinations covers the work of sev-
eral courses. At least two are in the
fields as listéd in the college calendar,
while the third may be in an allied
department. Two of this year’s sen-
iors are taking a third field in the de-
partment of politics, based on Mr.
Wells’ course in Comparative Govern-
ment, while another takes her third
field in English. . The total of history





courses must include Minor History,

Throughout the courses the empha-
sis is upon particular topies. rather
than upon getting a hasty summary

fof the entire field. In Minor History

for example, the first semester is de-
voted ehiefly ‘to the history of. state
and church. In this way the course
differs from “survey” courses in
ether. colleges. The honors topic of
one senior takes her to the Taylor
stacks to investigate public opinion
about immigration between 1918 and
1924, while another is reading the
works of Fielding in her study of the

Miss Robbins said, after each student
had discussed her home library 'facili-
tigs with her professor, she “made a
treaty to read -a given number of
books. By this arrangement all the
books agreed upon were read, and the
seniors had come to know the early
history of France.
In the comprehensive interviews
the seniors fire questions at the in-
structor. If a student has been unable
to find out about a background as-
sumed in her recent reading, she asks
for further. books on the subject.
The independence of work on private
reports allows the student to choose
topics closest to her personal inter-
ests. -One senior has congistently

chiefly with methods of admission.
A characteristic: problem is. the use
of “Plan D,” which allows for ad-

which do not ordinarily give college
preparation, or which are located at

- Describes Cyclés of Painting)

From Conceptual Origins
® To Symbolism

4



Music Room, April 12.—In his sec-
* ond lecture on the Archeological Ap-
proach to Art Mr. Rhys Carpenter
described the course of art in the last
five centuries, from the conceptual art
of archaic times to the logical conclu-
sion of realistic art and return to
symbolism.

The painter’s palette has ae
from Byzantine gold red, green and
blue, through the darkening process
to Rembrandt’s chairoscuro, and back
to flat color areas ‘again. In subject
matter the trend has been the same:
from ideal to realistic and back again.

Mr. Carpenter explained archaic
art in terms of the évery day act of
seeing objects. We see only patches
of color, at first, he said, which take
shape by .retreating inside outlines.
Therefore, archaic painting always
uses line and local color.

. Giotto’s - simplicity and concentra-

. tion are due to his inability to draw
more realistically, Mr. Carpenter in-
sists, although he does not count this
a fault in the painter.

As archaic limitations were over-
come*by the introduction of perspec-
tive, foreshortening, and modelling in
light and shade, the rise of portraits
and the anatomical nude marked the
end of truly religious painting. Sig-
-norelli’s hell is filled with nude bodies
rather than naked souls.

' ' But the course of realism went far
beyond anatomy. Truth, it” painting
is not what one knows, but what one
sees. Botticelli knew how many petals
a flower has and showed them all. The
truth a painter seeks today is in him-
self. He may paint the interior of a
theater as he sees it sitting in the

audience. _ The most subjective ‘im-
pression is not wholly optical, but is

~~ tinged. with the feeling of the sito

—and-therefore, expr
ing impressionism. ~

In explaining the present era in
arts, Mr. Carpenter said that as long
as artists could advance in realistic

d technique they sought realism; when
there was no more perfect technique
possible they fell into mannerism, and
now,_seeking new beginnings, they re-
vert to the primitive.

Graduate seminars, an art study room
and offices for department members
make up the rest of the second floor.
A long gallery for the display of
art pictures occupies the top floor.
The archaeology department will have
cases there forthe exhibition _ of
valuable collections of study material
already in the possession of the col-
lege. :
' ‘In working out the plans, Miss
Lois A. Reed, librarian, and the Fac-
ulty Committee, under the chairman-
ship of Dr. Rhys Carpenter, have pro-
. vided for several striking additions to
library equipment of the college. One
of these is the purchase of a projector!
for the .use of microfilms of books,
documents and other records, A li-
brary of such films will be gradually
accumulated and will be stored in the

worth. We then entered the Tea
Room Kitchen, which is equipped with
a pie-and-cake oven, a voluminous
toaster, a broad grill, and an impos-
ing automatic beater. Miss Reddick
said that this was only a small one.
It came up to her shoulder.

The refrigerators were next in-
spected. The refrigerator for the Tea
Room is a whole closet to itself; that
for the Dining Room is another, with
the added distinction of two smaller

hoavities chiefly for ‘eggs, vegetables
and butter.

. The Dining Room Kitchen is, as
Miss, Reddick said, “the works.” Down
the’ middle of its shining floor runs
a steel-topped work. table—“just for
general work”—and a steam table,
with porcelain jars sunk in its depths.
Faint wreaths of steam coiled lazily
upward. A. massive range occupies
one wall; a deep “zine” fills another.
On, another table what was to become
dinner for the evening was spread
out: five chickens, three ducks, large
roasts of beef, and asparagus, string
beans and sweet potatoes innumer-

The Pantry, used forddishwashing,
is the third division of the holy of
holies. It contains an automatic dish-
washer, whose action we couldn’t pre-
tend to, understand, a, two-fold sink
for glass and silver, “and for some
reason, a gigantic, shining coffee urn.
We questioned Miss Reddick as to
the personnel of this warm, gleaming
Eden. She told us that there were,
besides the maids, a general handy-
man named Eric, Mr. White, the Pan-
try-man, ‘and two cooks, I. J. Ruff

were unable to make her acquaintance
because, from the noise from a back
room, the staff, was engaged in an
energetic game of Fan-Tan.

As we finished our tour something
out of place in all the neatness caught
our eye. On a window ‘sill, totally
neglected, sat. a large yellow wedge

The resigration of Miss. Genevieve
Potter from the staff of the comp-
troller’s office has been announced.
Joining the staff in 1907 as first book-
keeper and assistant, Miss Potter has
been in continuous service longer than
any other member of the office, with
the exception of Mr. Foley. Comment-
ing on her resignation, Mr. Hurst, the
comptroller, said, “Miss Potter has
been a loyal and valuable member of
the staff throughout her 32 years of
service.”
Born and raised in Philadelphia,
Miss Potter held a business position
there before coming to Bryn Mawr.
Until the past few years, when the
comptroller’s office began cashing
checks for students, she saw very lit-
tle of the undergraduates.
When asked ‘about her plans, Miss
Potter replied that she intended to
“go on to new adventures and to. en-
joy herself.” . She has liked. the work
at Bryn Mawr and found that “the

Numerous Applications Received
For Student Assistants
And Scholarships _

Miss Jean Carter, director of the
Bryn. Mawr Summer School, an-
nounced that the school was trans-
ferred to its new headquarters on the
Hudson shore last Friday, April 14.
Numerous applications for admissiort'
to the school this summer have been
received, foreign as well as domestic.
Two English workers have enrolled,
one a London bus conductoress, the
other a textile worker. A Swedish
pocketbook maker has been accepted,
but Denmark has not yet raised suffi-
cient funds to transport a student.
American applications have been re-
ceived in as large numbers as usual,
and although there are positions open
to only six collegé students, 19 have
already applied for this. work, seven

tend to take two Bryn Mawr under-
graduates if they are as well qualified
as those from other colleges. Vassar

to their campus has stimulated new;
interest in the project. Wellesley,

‘warming, open to former students and
staff, on May 13 and 14. Accommo-
dations will be available for 60 per-
sons, most of whom will probably be
New Yorkers, though Boston . and
Pittsburg are also to be represented.
The alumnae have all shown enthusi-
asm for the new location of the
school, and the independence it will
give.

The new site covers about 55 acres
—an area equal to the Bryn Mawr
campus—running from the highway
to the Hudson River. The campus
boasts a continuous frontage on the

houses stand at either end of the
campus, and near each of. these is
a smaller house and barn. So that
classes will be equally convenient for
all students, each house will contain
classrooms and dining rooms as well
as dormitory facilities.

-Last year a total of 143 dollars was
raised by the students for scholarships
and similar purposes. The New York
City group alone has pledged 400 dol-

most all the member “nations” asked

for changes in the structure and poli-
cies of the League. France recom-
mended curtailment of the League’s.-.

tion on social and ‘economic problems. |
‘several members withdrew from the
League altogether, following Italy’s
example last year. This action,
however, céased to be effective upon
repetition.

Bryn Mawr, as Rumania, stood for \
the policy of a strong League en-

dowed with political as well as eco-
nomic pawers to uphold sanctions.

Since it is a small nation, Rumania
needs the security granted by the.
League and therefore supported the
principles of the present covenant.

However, it agreed “to co-operate in
any expedient compromises on practice

necessary to meet_the current situa-
tion.”

At. the closing session several re-
visions of the covenant were adopted,
though changes were not as sweeping
as had been expected, owing to a lack
of unanimity in replacing proposals
voted down. The article of. sanctions
against aggressors and that- guaran-
teeing territorial intergrity of mem-
ber nations were finally deleted tem-
porarily, to be restored when member-
ship in the League should become uni-
versal.
“The first plenary session resem-

bled a political convention,” said the

New York Times of April 14. “The

200 delegates from 27 Middle Atlantic

colleges and: universities sat in groups

marked off by signs for the countries -
they represented.” The speaker from

Haverford gave an address in French,

artistically translated by ‘a fellow

delegate with a strong French accent.

Another realistic touch was providéd

by the corps of uniformed messengers,
who bore notes between delegations.

stage to the box-office telephone. With
much shouting and arm motion, Rob-

-ert Bryant, the overbearing ‘director,
made himself sufficiently obnoxious in
the opening scene to make his murder
credible,

Hilda Green (Denbigh), as the
heroine, Frances Ward (Rockefeller),
as het mother, Mabel Ross (Denbigh),

Scenery was unnecessary since the

action was laid on a “bare stage,’”|:

and the one in Goodhart can fulfill
that part by being itself. Lighting,
too, was no problem, and was, more or

| Holds Benefit Recital

All-Instrument Musicale Shows
Competence and Careful
. Preparation .





Music Room, April 16.—Contrary
to the usual plan, the Bryn Mawr
League’s annual musical benefit was
entirely instrumental, and for this
reason attracted a large number of
outsiders. The musicians themselvés
were competent, and showed that
they had spent. much time in prepar-
ing their material.

The mood of the entertainment was
well set by Mozart’s Eine kleine
Nachtmusik. This lively piece of
chamber-music was played by~an en-
semble of twelve under the direction
of Miss Helen Rice. Eleanor Benditt,
39, Louise Herron, °39, Henrietta
hButler, ’42, and Blanche Anderson,

Miss Rice played second violin, with,
Nicoline Samsom, graduate student,
Helen Hamilton, ’39, and Mary New-
berry, ’40. Violas were played by
Helen Bacon, ’40, and Polly Coan, ’41,
and ’cellos by Naomi. Coplin and
Helen Garth, graduate students.

The Minuet and Sarabande which
followed are rarely-heard works by
Murschhauser. Together with the
Sonatine by Handel, they were exe-
cuted by Helen Garth on the recorder,
with Mary Jane Cook, ’42, accompany-
ing at the piano. :

Eleanor Benditt, violinist, accompan-
ied by Mary Jane Cook, next per-
‘formed the Adagio from Bach’s Con-
certo in E flat for violin and oboe,
(played on the flute). The violin
part was played with confidence and
color, and the technical passages for
flute were well-executed. Miss Waples,
accompanied by Bernice Schultz, ’41,
skilfully performed the different runs
in the next selection, the Rondo from
Mozart’s Concerto No. 1 in @ major
for flute. Cease ee 3
| A piano solo of much fire and ex-
cellent technique was rendered by
Gordon Grosvenor, ’89, the Etude
heroique of Leschetizky, and the Me-
phisto Waltz, Liszt-Busoni.. The Al-
legro and Minuet from Mozart's Quin-
tet in G minor followed. Eleanor

viola, Helen Bacon, second viola, and

PUBLIC OPINION |

Miss Rice’s Musicale Gives
"Inspiration to Artists

To the Editor of the College News: -
Many of us who heard the League’s
Musicale on Sunday want to sing
loud the praises. of Miss -Rice and
he¥ group of musicians. It is heart-
ening to know that young musicians,
with such warm encouragement... as
Miss Rice must’ give them, can gather
together to play chamber music. Our
aspiring actresses display their tal-
ents through Players Club, and our
singers have their chance in Gilbert
and Sullivan. But the violinist or
flutist or pianist has been ignored.
Now she need not play only for her
own ears in the noisy practice room
of Goodhart. Now she can go to
Rhoads to spend happy hours trac-
ing the melodies of her favorite com-
posers, abetting the efforts of similar
players. We-are glad that Miss Rice
and her friends, especially Eleanor
Benditt, Louise Herron, Helen Garthy
Christine Waples and Gordon. Gros-
venor, Wanted to share their musical
delight with us. Let us hope that
the painters and sculptors of the col-
lege will receive encouragement, like
Miss Rice’s, and will continue to’ de-
serve it-as the musicians have. Hon-
est art, be it acting or singing or
fiddling or painting, is always worth
doing for its own sake, but it is so
much better to let others enjoy if, too.
MARGARET BELL, 39.

The Case of the Leaning Man
by Christopher Bush
- If you can enjoy the story” of an
incredible murder, committed, for in-
credible reasons, by a completely un-
believable* criminal, then you may
find some entertainment in The Case

‘the Leaning Man. Ludovic Tra-
vers (“six feet three of lean fitness’’)
may be one of fiction’s foremost de-
tectives, but in this case he has let
his public-down badly. —

The plot itself is coherently worked
out and may even be called obvious.
No attempt is made to cheat the read-
er with mysterious death-rays or
South American philters distilled by
mad scientists eager to dominate the
world: one victim is simply stabbed
and the other is simply poisoned with
cleaning fluid. But the motivation
of both crimes seems entirely fnsuf-
ficient; in order that they may be
committed and solved, all the persons
inyolved have to act in violent op-
position to the characters already
established in the mind of the reader.

Even more’ annoying than this is
the fact that no maps or drawings



are provided, although both. murders
were “place” crimes, whose success
depeniled ‘cbmpletely on the ‘position ©
of certain buildings in relation to one
another. ‘The facts of ‘their location
are given in the story, but so. inade-
quately and. piecemeal that the reader
is confused: and likely to feel unfairly
deprived of information with which he
might have solved the crimes himself,

ficient money to release the acre and
a half of land around the barn, made
by the Alumnae of’ the Baldwin

especially-in the-segond, movement, or

entered into.the «spirit of the musie





viously shown: » In: the third: move-
ment, Dr. Hofmann again illustrated
his ability to’make’ the theme stand
out from its surroundings and often
enveloping accompaniment. . te

Dr. Hofmann uses two: kinds. of

brilliant forte passages, and a lyric,
light touch which contrasts sharply.
In spite of the smallness of Dr. Hof-;
mann’s hands, he ean cover the key-
board in an ‘instant. This may be,
explained by the -special instrument:
which Dr. Hofmanrf uses. The width,
of the: keys on his .keyboard is: nar-
rower than that of an ordinary piano
key so as to allow his hands:. the
ordinary reach. For this. reason, -Dr.
Hofmann keeps a Steinway in each
of three central cities in the United
States, -the nearest. of which is
r.|shipped to his concert.

Mr. Smith opened the second half

lof-the-conicert with: some-aniusing re->
| eyeing

marks on’ Chopin’s ‘fickleriess; and’ his
music as seen by George Sands. The
following: sélections were more fa-
miliar. The sad Polonaise in C sharp
minor was played ~simply and with
4/ great feeling. It was most interest-
ing to hear another interpretation of
the Grande Valse. Brilliante and of
the Scherzo in C sharp minor, Dr.
Hofmann’s closing’ piece, after Myra
Hess’s rendition of a few weeks ago.
In comparing the two methods of
treatment, Miss Hess ‘seems to have
a smoother and more lyric interpre-
tation. But Dr. Hofmann’s ‘more pre-
cise playing and ‘freedom of tempo
are much to be admired. He puts
an entirely fresh stamp on two such
time-worn and played-over pieces by



.as—a—lounge—and_shower—and_locker}

rooms.

It was agreed that’ the previous
feeling of vague suspicion and dis-
trust of the whole project: had been
largely dispelled at the meeting held
on March 23. Miss Petts described
the new Wellesley recreation building
as a’model, on a larger scale, of the
kind of building needed here. Re-
cently, a great many colleges have

been adding a building of this sort,

or else a whole new. gymnasium as
Vassar has done. Miss Park stated
our advantage, from the point of view
of cost, in that the building need not
be elaborate outside since it will not
be on'the upper campus.

Mrs. Manning reported that the
German. House has been planning to
save rooms for the three students who
hope to go to Zurich next year, in case
the crisis in Europe prevents their
going. Miss Park believed that
rooms should be saved gince living in
language houses probably means more
to these students than to some others.
Mrs. Manning was not of this opinion,
but agreed that, in any case, both
houseg,should follow the same policy.
