Forum Analyzes Pressure Groups;
Describes Special Interest Lobby



Farm, Industry and Labor
Organizations Outlined
And Evaluated





Common Room, November 6.—
The Farm Bloc, manufacturers’ |
groups and Organized Labor are |
potential or active pressure groups. |
This was the theme of the first
Forum of the year.

Rosalind Wright, chairman of
the meeting, emphasized the im-
portance’ of organized lobbying.
The majority of groups maintain
effices in Washington, present their
demands ‘and the number of votes
they can rely on, when asking sup-
port in Congress.

Farm Bloc

In the 1920’s the Farm Bloc
showed its influence, said Nancy
Evarts, by effective efforts to al-
leviate conditions due to agricul-
tural depression. Because of the
need for action, the Bloc was bi-
partisan.

After 1924 the Bloc ceased to
function completely as a group, but
three large organizations today
work for the interests of the
farmer: the National Grange, the
Farmers’ Educational and Co-op-
erative Union of America, and the
American Farm Bureau Federa-
tion. These were instrumental in |
the passage of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Act.

Although these groups are now
split on the question of national
policy, united action by the Bloc
is a potential force.

Richter Summarizes
Archaic Greek Arts

In Flexner Lecture





Goodhart, November 10.—In her
fifth lecture, Miss Richter returned
again to the art of the Greek main-
land, to discuss its development in
the last quarter of the sixth cen-
tury and the first quarter of the
fifth century, B. C. It was during
period that Persia, having
crushed the great Ionian revolt of
499 B. C., turned westward. Greece
was devastated by wars for over
thirty years before the Persian
forees were turned back, never
again to menace western civiliza-
tion,

In Athens, soon after the death
of Peisistratos in 527, a tyrannical
form of government was replaced
by tKe first known democracy. The
victory at Marathon in 490 proved
the strength of the new regime.
Art also did not suffer. A group of

Northrop Indicates
Surplus of Incomes.

Should Be Absorbed

Industrial Group Stresses
Importance of Emergency

For Labor





Common Room, November 5.
Miss Northrop, at the year’s first
Industrial Group meeting, spoke of
the necessity for intelligent absorp-
tion of the surplus income created
by our shift to war-time economy.
The importance for Labor of the
present emergency was pointed out
members’ of the Industrial
Group of the Germantown Y.

To avoid inflation, prices must be
controlled. A ceiling for wages has
been discussed in Congress. Miss
Northrop said that the «control of
wages would onlyytie Labor’s hands
by doing away with ‘individual
bargaining.

She discussed two: methods to
counteract surplus ineome. | The
first consists of a great increase in
taxation, while the second and
more satisfactory plan is that of
forced saving. Forced saving can
be brought about by an extension
of social security, or by the partial

Eighteenth Century
Ideas of Acting
Combined by Garrick

Roberts Hall, Haverford, Novem-
1941.—“The eighteenth cen-
tury had two conflicting ideas con-
cerning Shakespeare,” said Dr.
Edgar Wind, of the Warburg In-
stitute, who has spoken at Haver-
ford in other years on the Sistine
Ceiling and Raphael’s School of
Athens. “Some upheld him as a
child of nature, while others in-
sisted on the melancholy nobility of
his genius.” These two ideas: were
united in the actor, David Garrick.

A painting of the infant Shake-
speare between the muses of
Tragedy and Comedy and watched
over by a, white robed Nature done
by Romney toward the end of the
century, typifies the attitude of the
child-of-nature school. They tried
to make him intimate and familiar;
-they-made pious attempts to paint
him as a rough unshaven peasant.

Mrs. Siddons, brought to fame by
Reynolds’ portrait of her as The
Tragic Muse, began a school of act-
ing composed of grandiloquent and
noble gestures and poses. She and
Kemble “anticipated modérn ham
‘acting which relies on ~ posture,
noble diction, and action for all its
effects,” said Dr. Wind. This type
of acting had to be supported by
elaborate stage scenery such as
wind blown on the stage to ruffle
the hair. They idolized Shake-
speare until the church felt it

necessary to exhibit a painting of

Foreign Students

al Bryn Mawr

Present Assembly on Education



News Correspondent
To Describe Travels

Virginia Cowles, European. .Cor-
respondent for two London news-
papers, will speak November 18, at
8.30 in Goodhart Hall, on her ex-
periences as a roving reporter.

Miss Cowles began her career as
a foreign correspondent during the
Spanish Civil War. She was in the
Sudeten Land at the time of the
Nazi Anschluss, and in Paris the
day it was invaded... She has also
interviewed most of the war lead-
ers including Churchill, Mussolini
and Eden.

The proceeds of the lecture will
go to the Bryn Mawr Hospital.

Self-Gov. Proposes

Changing Permissions



A mass meeting of the Self-
Government Association was held
Monday evening at 7.15 in the
gymnasium to discuss abolishing
special permission for playing vic-
trolas in private rooms, eating’ in
the village, parties in other halls,
and the need for a 12.15 special
permission for eating in Philadel-
phia if escorted.

The board proposed that Sec-
tion 12, B. 2, which reads, “Special
permission to play a victrola in
private rooms may be given at the
discretion of the Hall President,”
be incorporated with 3 of B, Sec-
tion 12, to read: “Students may
have radios and victrolas in their
rooms provided that they cannot
be heard outside of the rooms dur-
ing quiet hours.” It was also pro-
posed that special permissions be
eliminated for parties in other
halls and for eating in the village
until 11.30.

A new regulation, allowing stu-
dents to obtain special permission
until 12.15 for eating in Philadel-
phia if escorted, was proposed.

There will be voting on thesc
resolutions Thursday evening at
hall meetings.

Aims and Achievements
Of Foreign Schools
Are Evaluated



Goodhart, November 11.—Knowl-
edge creates a responsibility both
in those who impart it and in those
who receive it. This was the chief
conclusion of the college assembly
on edueation, presented— by Bryn
Mawr foreign students. The eight
speakers, each from a, different
country, were representatives of a
larger group, which for the last
two weeks has been discussing in-
ternational educational problems:

Refugee. Tradition

As. chairman of the assembly;
Mme. Dony, warden of Wyndham,
explained that America, with the
recent influx of scholars from all
;over the world, has inherited: the
“refugee tradition” and become the
center, of, learning. Refugees feel
responsible for the high standards
of this tradition.

European Unawareness

Most of the speakers felt that
the intellectuals of their countries
had been unaware of the impending
catastrophe in Europe and of its
effects upon free education. In
Germany, Ruth Fiesel said, the in-
tellectuals, the faculties. of uni-
versities, if they had been fully

Learning Shines at Radnor, 120-Watt Strong,
And Standard of Living is Well Above Par



By Janet Meyer, ’42

The graduate students live at
Radnor and they do live. When. the
question is studied rationally, the
conelusion that they are human is
not -dffieult- to-reach. ~ There are
two gitls within their ranks who
have only reached the delicate age
of nineteen. The average for the
whole group is between twenty and
twenty-one. Why, they might be
you—or ‘me—or just anybody. They
spend their idle hours at the mov-
ies, buried in mystery stories (just
like those in the Pem East smok-
ing-room), and play bridge, This

| game—ofbridge_is_a—vital part—of

their lives. They play “inspira-
tional,” “chop-suey,” or
bridge, as the occasion demands.
So do we. I can stretch that
graduate - undergraduate analogy
even further. Dinner conversation?
It’s not the “will the Russians win”
type. at all.

However, there are certain im-
portant differences between the
two. Sloppiness and unwashed _ hair
are more characteristic of the un-
dergraduates, Radnor believes.

To the indecisive undergraduate
there is certain general information
which must be divulged. Entering
graduate school does not neces-

“vile” }

sarily imply that you are doomed
to be an old maid. Don’t wince,
but these sage authorities claim
that the modern B.A. is equivalent
,to the high-school certificate so far
“as” employment possibilities” are”
concerned. Furthermore, as an un-
dergraduate, little specialized
knowledge is acquired, and- mere
intellectual curiosity should inspire
, more work than a flimsy B.A. re-
‘quires. However, it is a fallacy to
believe that the biologist necessar-
\ily wants to end in a test-tube, the
geologist in an anti-cline, and the
sociologist in a slum. Graduate
students—just—want—jobs—and-not-
behind a counter.

As to the idea of, cementing
graduate-undergraduate relations,
they approve. They believe that
the work on this week’s assembly
Shows the fruits of co-operation,
-and would eneourage further work
| along these lines. But establishing —
friendly relationships is all they ~
aim at. :

A. conclusion is. now in_ order:
the light of true learning indeed
shines at Radnor—with a hundred
and twenty watt bulb; but only for
about six hours of the day, they
| claim. Any other idea is a mis-
conception.

Curtain Going Up!

The war spirit of the country continues to be whipped by fear,
by anger and by a disturbing negativism. Yet the larger social
ideals which are implied in resistance to Fascism can be formulated
positively, with both realism and optimism. With this in mind, a
committee has drawn up a set of principles upon which a new cam-
pus oganization, The Alliance, will be based. The committee, pro-
ceeding from the agreement that the question of whether or when
the United States. shall enter the war is no longer the most com-
pelling one for campus debate, has formulated the following pro-
gram: sl vs

(1) To defeat Hitler is not enough.

(2) We believe that war effort should be directed not only
toward defending our democracy, but also toward the creation of a
better social order.

(3) . In spite of the temporary sacrifices necessary in time of
war, we believe that the mobilization of national effort must also be
directed toward broader and more enduring social benefits.

(4) We will support all measures necessary to efficient prose-
cution of the war, providing that they do not conflict in spirit with
the principles stated above.

(5) Weare determined to examine and criticize:
(a) Immediate problems of defense.
(b) The implications and possible effects of national legisla-
tion and government administration,
(c) Peace problems and proposals.
(6) We believe that these principles should be translated into
action.

An open meeting will’be held next week to discuss the organi-
‘zation of The Alliance, and coordinate the activity of the Forum,
the work and aims of the Defense Courses, and the organization of
volunteers to form Publicity, Writing, Research and Speakers’ Com-
mittees. The last two will cooperate with the corresponding com-
mittees of the faculty Defense Group. An agenda will be prepared
and election of officers will be discussed.



Between the Acts

The recent publication of Thyssen’s confessions about the sub-
sidizing of Hitlerism by the dominant German industrialists should
give us pause on this Armistice Day.

We commemorate the laying down of arms twenty-three years
ago, when the taking up of arms on a scale hitherto unknown is
unquestionably the precondition for an Armistice that may in reality
prove final: eee ee
~~ ‘While on the one hand it is our manifest duty to bend every
effort toward the speedy conclusion of hostilities by the obliteration
of the Fascist Axis, it is on the other hand equally essential that the
coming peace will not prove to be a mere interval, but will be just
and lasting. Such a peace can be attained only when the legions of
mankind ordain such conditions that will preclude any possibility of
a Thyssen subsidizing a Hitler in any land, in any way, at any time.

Much talk will be heard from various quarters about the forms
of the good new order to be established when the Axis is in ashes—
talk about a “remodeled” League of Nations, “Revitalized” World
Court, “genuine” disarmament, “equitable” apportionment of col-
onial territories and raw materials, and “effective” guarantees for
the rights of small nations. Such sounds were audible during and
after the First World War.

Unflinching examination of these questions is necessary to
avoid a repetition of the tragedy which developed with ever-increas-

| Now is the Time for AllGood Men . . .

One day, on a vacation at the seashore, I read in the newspaper |

that my father was running for Mayor of Pittsburgh. We had
been in the habit of drawing up our skirts a little at the thought of

taking an active part in politics, But now we were in it, head over

heels. What a dirty business, but what a necessary, vital business

it became for us. Convinced of: the worthiness of our candidate,

we, the family, and we, the Denny-for-Mayor workers, pounded our

way to a sensational primary. victory. No money, no political

prestige helped us win the primary—it was a long shot.

| The downtown office clattered with typewriters and we licked
‘countless envelopes for come-out-and-vote letters to the registered
Republicans. Out in the seventh ward, our “home ward,” was the

East Liberty Denny-for-Mayor headquarters. People wandered in
and out—men engaged in dubious branches of the mathematical
profession, crazy politicians ranting about Abraham Lincoln and
Harmar Denny, quantities of drunks and little boys demanding
cards for some obscure kind of game. Two telephones co-ordinated
a fleet of cars with the invalids who had to be taken’ to the polls.
Through all this? and much coffee and cigarettes, the dogged friends
and family of “Happy Harmar” Denny pushed him into the Repub-
lican candidacy.

| Then came the big fight.

Never has there been: such a close race in the city’s election.
| The politicos of Pittsburgh were surprised. On election eve they
nodded over the certainty that unless 60-65 per cent of the vote
came out, Denny hadn’t a chance. Public opinion was sluggish.
.That people could forget about poor garbage collection, unsettled
labor disputes and similar local problems, because of ‘dramatic head-
‘lines on foreign affairs, is still amazing to us. This, it was gener-
ally agreed, was a dull campaign.

Behind-the-candidates were, on the other hand, a well organized-

| Democratic party—the party that was in. On the other hand, the
|Republican machine was more interested in getting its five-dollar
| watchers’ certificates than in selling its candidate. The workers
staged a near-riot in the downtown Denny headquarters on election
‘eve. Watchers must be at the polls; checkers must be at the polls,
and the watchers’ fee is five dollars, Campaign manager, Grant
/Curry, nearly expired trying to satisfy every faction.

] Dirty work at the polls is an old cry at election time, and it is
i hard to believe some of the true stories. I heard some of the voters
‘fall for the old gags about the second handle being broken so that
ithe first one, only, counts. Watchers are easily induced to-go home
iby the offer of five times their pay, and one man started three or
four riots at the polls to keep the voters away—safely in jail. Dirty
,work comes from both sides, but the side with the most money and
‘the least scruples comes out on top.

' Money may seem unimportant, but it can organize a party’s
victory. Still, even money could not have organized the Republicans
lin Allegheny-County._Formerlybossed- by-a-few party dictators,
and supported in this election by many individuals with various de-
grees of influence, the party resolved into a typical state of disor-
ganization.

The candidate had a will of his own. Making as many as ten
speeches a day until his voice gave out to a whisper, my. father made
a desperate appeal. Out for the independent vote, and steering clear
of all political involvements, he tried to establish efficient, business-
like, and honest government in this industrial city.

But it doesn’t work that way.

The Democratic party is bossed by Mr. David Lawrence, and
there is no individualism in the party; consequently, no disunity, So
the Democrats won.

Through all this party politics ran an undercurrent of feeling
against the present administration. The issues of the campaign
were vital: the labor problem in Pittsburgh has been dealt with in a
manner calling up much criticism; the department of public works
has been condemned because of the unsanitary garbage situation ;
the city debt has been exposed by the papers, and the budget has
been protested. With these pressing facts behind him, Denny should
have been able to win—would have won, if three more thousands
out of the two hundred and nineteen thousands who voted had seen
it his way.

Privately, we are glad he didn’t get this terrific job, but pub-
licly it seems a shame that the Mayor of Pittsburgh was re-elected
by the minority—one-third of the voters.

ANN Denny, ’43.





jing gravity from 1919 to 1939. We have seen how public figures,
leaders of nations gave lip-service to the defense of democracy, in-
ternational order and the rights of small and weaker nations while
conniving at the destruction of these very things they were pledged
,to defend. (Witness the behavior of the signatories of the Kellogg-
Briand Pact and the League Covenant during the successive viola-
tions of China, Ethiopia, Spain, Austria, Czechoslavakia. )

| It is not our purpose at this point to express any views on the
‘relative merits of the various proposals for securing a fair and firm
‘peace. We feel that a series of authoritative speakers of diversified
‘opinions, accompanied by campus questioning, research, and thor-
ough discussion will tremendously heighten our understanding of
|these vital problems, so that against the day when the cannon cease
ito roar we will have adequately prepared ourselves in the period
|between this Armistice Day and the next Armistice.

| WIT’S END

Pay Day is Thursday. All cor-
rections must be made by Tuesday.
Two per cent compound interest
will be charged daily. Hot spit!
Ain’t it a shame about Mame? My
gosh, look at the size of that Pay
Day. Let’s go tell her.

$16.20—$16.20? Bliss was it
then to be alive—adding up the
bills. People lurked around corners
clutching sales slips. May I speak
to you? one of them gasps. Yes, so
you take her off into the corner so
she can tell you her private finan-
cial affairs. My Pay Day is $25.22



jand I only have $16.01. I can’t do

it, I can’t do it. But you can’t do
it either, so it all ends in a stale-
mate peace.

Then there are our rivals who
have a much more efficient system.
Pay Day is up and they will an-
swer any questions after dinner be-
tween 7.30 and 8.30. There was a
time when Pay Day was a dictator-
ship.and nobody objected, but now
it’s like a representative govern-
ment. Why, everybody wants to
know, have they been charged 39
cents under Hall Manager. Then
you find out it was for having one
bath towel washed and stored. Why,
why, why. . . . Because I say so
dear... The--notorious—thing—about-
democracy is that it is inefficient.
We can imagine our rivals sitting
with little courts about them asking
questions that cannot possibly be
answered such as why is my Inn
bill $15.29? Then 13 cents has to
be subtracted from ten places in-
cluding the $2,896.17.

Some people have no scruples
about May Day, i.e., May or No-
vember what is the difference.
There are other people who think
of gun powder for snake bites. But,
Miss Jaeger, I thought you rubbed
the gun powder in and lit it? There
are some more that apply classical .
or scientific education to First Aid.
They conjure up visions of people
falling on swords. Which side to
lay the victim on, that is the ques-
tion, when there are swords on all
sides. * Or, on the other hand, a
mere wooden fence-post stuck
through one’s stomach (upon which
the victim—why is it always the
victim—is gazing apprehensively)
what if it were iron? But of all
those whose inhibitions break down
at certain points, is the person with
a pay day mania. It shuffles around
furtively spying on the people who
are cheating it, adding up the
musty bills. But you undercharged
me seven cents, they say. Add
seven cents to six different numbers
and what do you get? What do
you get? The only way to get away
from it all is to bring in the new
era when pay day mistresses will
just decide what people should pay.
Friends have 17 cent Inn bills, foes
50 dollar hall newspapers or parties
for the Freshmen.

Rockefeller’s Tropical Beauties Surpassed

By Torrid Attack From Undermanned Rhoads



By Jacqueline Ballard, 43

Bryn Mawr, November 9.—
Twenty-four beautiful girls, their
necks encircled by leis, dancing
lightly to the undulating hum of
foreign voices, under a sunlit blue
sky — and you might think you
were in Hawaii. But to prove
that it can happen ~here, that it
did happen here, ask any Rhoads
resident (not Rock, please) what
took place on the hockey field Sun-|
day morning.

A full team of Rockefeller
Seniors assembled on the _ field, to
find only four Rhoads Seniors as
their opponents, bolstered by two
Juniors, one Sophomore, and one |

to be an All-Senior Battle.

Betsey Gross, the Rock goalec; |
trembled _so_that—the—ice—in—her
ice-bag hat crackled, and crouched
back behind the goal posts every
time the ball approached the
twenty-five-yatd line. On _ those
occasions when the ball was at
the other end of the field, she,
like the mountain lion, rose out
of her lair, eager for the hunt and
roaring for the kill.

But what kill there was, wasi
the result of Rhoads’ tireless at-
tack. Two goals were scored in
the first third by Nannie Mitchell
and Barbara Cooley, while Rock’s
cheering gallery groaned and wept.

To make the fray more even,
Rhoads magnanimously sloughed
off all extraneous material (two
Juniors and one Freshman) and
played the next two periods with
a team of five,

That inexhaustible player, Jane
Smith, playing a combination for-
ward, half and fullback, terrified







Betsey Gross again by shooting a
hard ball right through her. She
did it unaided by Mudd Harz, who,
before, had torn down sthe field
the wrong way with the ball to
her own goal,

Rock extracted the ball from
her traitorous stick and in the last
second of play, which was_ two
minutes past the allotted time,
Judy Shenton and Skippy Hughes

pushed the ball into the Rhoads ;
igoal, ending the game by a score

of 3-1.

Beaver Beaten 6-3
By First Team Owls;
Seconds Triumph 10-1

Bryn Mawr, November 8.—Two
simultaneous victories on adjacent
battle fields gave two Bryn Mawr
“armies” a happy week-end. The
Owls defeated the Beaver Varsity
in a well-matched struggle, 6-3,
while the Reserves were trouncing
the*Beaver second team by a fan-
tastic score of ,10-1.

The Varsity played easily and
deliberately against Beaver’s un-
quenchable first team spirit. Fast
playing with few fouls marked
the first period, in which Pat Mur-
naghan made the first goal. Fierce
fights waged first at one end of
the field, then the other, but Beaver
threatened only once, when Miss
Brewster shot one in.

At the end of the first period
when the Owls had a 2-1 lead,
their Reserves on the other field,
were doing considerably better. In
fact, they were veritably crushing
the Beaver reserves with six gaals
to their one. Until nearly the
very end of that period, the Bryn
Mawr reserves were lacking a
halfback, yet their defense was ir-
reproachable.

The Beaver first team tied the
score in the second period, and
for a time the situation looked
gerious. But thereafter Beaver
‘ seored only one goal to Bryn
Mawyr’s four. The most spectacu-
lar was Pat Murnaghan’s closé
angle shot that was_ perfectly
aimed.

The Reserves’ centre forward
scored enough goals alone to win
the game against Beaver’s second

The other day a student ap-
proached Miss Badger and asked
whether they sold Band-Aids. Miss
Badger looked up brightly, “No,
I’m _ sorry,” she answered, “the
closest we have is sandwich
spread.” a

Sales have been _ increasing
steadily since 1933, when Mrs.
Nahm took charge, and each year
shows a greater volume of busi-
ness. November returns are con-
sistently less than half the receipts
of October, by far the best month.
A stamp machine, one of this
year’s two additions, is a great
time-saver. The other addition,
candy, resembling fruits and vege-
tables, called “Marzipan,” is also
very successful.

No-one knows just. how the Col-
lege Bookshop began. Mr. Hurst
says that somewhere around: 1900
an enterprising student started the
ball rolling by selling stationery
to her fellow-undergrads. This
soon proved too rhuch for her and
she sent out an S. O. S. for as-
sistance. Eventually three girls,
as partners, ran this first “book-
shop,” dividing the profits. In
1910, due to the great increase in
business, it was organized so .that
the students received half the
profits and the other half went
to the college scholarship fund.

Since 1922 all profits above ex-
penses and salaries have gone to
the. scholarship committee. In ’37,

to ’38, $550 was given; in: ’88 to].

39, $620, in ’39 to 740, $600, and
last year, $400. This year, Mrs.
Nahm believes, the fund will again
reach the $600 mark.

and would have the advantage of
conserving funds for future need.

She further asserted that every
atom of labor is needed to meet the
present crisis. Women and propor-
tionately younger*and older men
must fill in for draft-age em-
ployees. Agnes Hunter, who works
in an Electric Appliances factory,
said that, in her plant, women have
begun to replace men even’ in such
dangerous jobs as working in the
tank rooms. She complained of. the
original unfair discrimination in
pay against these women, but as-
serted that now the unions were
protecting them.

Agnes and Wynnie Wild, a
worker in a silk factory, spoke of
the severe curtailment of produc-
tion of peace time goods because of
the lack of available raw materials.
Many silk factories, Wynnie_ told
us, had closed down because silk
was so.scarce and because the ma-
chines cannot be used for other
materials.

nes and. Wynnie have found that
the instruction offered by free
training schools is limited to a
minute part of a trade. Many of
the available defense jobs, they
added, are poor; and once a worker
quits one defense job, he is never
admitted to another. ,

Miss Northrop concluded the dis-
cussion by declaring that the most
important factor in the post-war
shift to peace-time economy will be
our attitude toward the rest of the
world. | If we expect to win the
peace, our markets must be world-
wide.

King s Lyric Intensity, Insight |
in “Heart of Spain” Catches
Spirit of People







Heart of Spain
By Georgiana Goddard King
“Writing to please rather than to
instruct, lingering less oyer the
celebrated than the significant, we
are not careful to follow well-trod-

‘den ways, yet not unwilling to

cross them,” said Miss King in the
preface to Heart of Spain. The
book, written about fifteen years
ago, is published in honor of Miss
King, former head of the History
of Art Department, who died in
1939.

Heart of Spain seems at first a
sensitive impression in vivid col-
ors of Spanish landscapes and the
Spanish people as they are a part
of that landscape. Gradually, we
perceive that what is so gently
pleasing us has at heart a shrewd
analysis of the essential nature of
the country. “The Spanish wom-
an,” she notices, “thinks all over
herself, not just inside the skull.
The life in her darts and trembles
like a goldfish in a globe.” Or,
“the Marileno is not tall like the
old Castilian, nor keen like the
Catalan, nor tight in his clothes like
the Andalusian: he is a man as
God made him and not improved
much as yet.”

Her essence of Spain has been
distilled from its architecture, its
literature, its songs and its legends.
Miss King uses her own transla-
tions for the poetry she discusses:

“For I was. caught midway

By treacherous whirlwinds: and with
no word spoken

Dashed down: thrown’ far

The lyre I used to play:

And in. the flight I think my wings
were broken.

away

Her lovely lyric mule is just
as clearly present in every line of
her prose as in the poetry, so that
it is hard to choose only one pas-
sage to quote. Here is part of her
description of Salamanca: “Always
the wind is waiting, out there in the
wide desert, and along the green
and changeful river Tormes, win-
ter-swollen, summer-shrunken, it
blows. Within the city, the air is
hushed and kind, fresh-tasting amid
the watery greenery of little
squares in summer; in winter
warm-feeling in the sunny inter-
spaces. of. collonades.’’

Heart of Spain is the happy re-
sult of a combination of wide
learning, sensitive appreciation,
keen criticism, (as in the discus-
sion of Ibanez and other contem-
porary novelists) and beautiful na-
tural music which pervades every

line. \

Garrick Represents
18th Century Stage



Continued from Page One
St. John pointing to the Bible on

which is written, “the Genius of
Shakespeare corrected by Revela-
tions.”

“Garrick,” as Dr. Wind describes
him, “represented the feminine
elegance of the century, but there
was an overtone of irony in every-
thing he did.” His fundamental
thesis of acting was that the actor
must first learn to play comedy be-
fore he will be able to do tragedy.
Venerated as the incarnation of
Shakespeare, he realized that with
eighteenth century acting and au-
diences, there either had to be no
Shakespeare or redactions. Unlike!
Edmund Malone, arch-proclaimer
of the nobility school who published
an edition containing 1,654 emenda-
tions, Garrick’s redactions were
very brief and carefully done. In
his acting he combined the obvious
with the very subtle, and brought
the pitch of emotion to the just
bearable point. His reverence for
Shakespeare was tempered by the
eighteenth century habit of self-
ridicule.

‘Mawr students made their goal;

and piled into the. truck ‘all objects'

cooking ‘utensils, food, sleeping bags |

They found a camp-site near!

U. S. Pressure Groups
Described. by Forum



Continued from Page One

on a losing fight against federal
intervention, Margaret Magrath
said. The most. important -. or-
ganized forms of this large group
are: the Chamber of Commerce,
representing business in general—
the National Association of Manu-
facturers, led by sixty of the larg-
est corporations and the National
Industrial Council. With these are
allied most of the country’s con-
servative interests, both in business
and in the professions.

The NAM, most formidable of
them, applies its political policy in-
directly through the National In-
dustrial Council which influences
manufacturers employing the ma-
jority of those engaged in industry.
Industries. functioning within the
pressure group also have lobbies to
protect their interests which are
distinct from the group. Qf these,
railroads and public utilities have
gone in for the game most thor-
oughly, spending millions to con-
vert the general public to their
economic philosophy.

Pressure on legislation was_be-
gun by manufacturers in 1864 and
has continued down to the present
day. Tariff and indirect taxation
are two important pressure points.
But in spite of business lobbies, the
excess profits tax was finally put
through in September, 1940.

Labor
Although laboring classes’ in
manufacturing alone comprise

more than 25 per cent of our total
population, said Sally Jacob, only
organized labor can exert any ac-
tual pressure on government policy.
|The past fifty years has shown a
constant increase in the power of
the labor group. The A. F. of L.



ifect honor paid to Shakespeare in
the century was that of Lawrence
Sterne, who chose as his pen name
Yorick, the jester in Hamlet, who

Chris Waples was sensational in
her defensive strategy, bewildering
every opponent with dodges, scoops

quick succession,
made the first goal, and so with
three goals to their credit, the Bryn

But this was only half the story.
Elated by its first period. success,
Bryn Mawr went on to annihilate
its opponents with four more goals.
Only once did Merion threaten the
shutout, when the players almost}
got the ball through Bryn Mawr’s
goalee.

While this massacre was taking
place on one field, the Seniors and
Sophomores were having a close
battle on the other. With the score
tied at 1-1 and the allotted time for
playing finished, it was about to be
called a tie. But the classes would
not have it so, for they decided on
five more minutes of play, in which
Louise Lewis shot a goal, giving a

SUBURBAN ihSuone



Rarest volume in the Rosenwald
group, is the “Legea Aurea” of
Voragine, printed by William Cax-
ton in 1453. The book is a folio
edition in excellent condition, and

illustrated by woodcuts. The

Lydia. Gifford | Mainz Bible, printed by Schoeffer

in 1462, is also ineluded in this col-

lection. Its pages are surprisingly

clean and the illuminated initials
are vivid and clear.

Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach has lent,
for the exhibit, a Latin Manuscript
Bible of the 14th century, written
on vellum and annotated, a Crom-
well Bible, first edition printed in
1539, and the first separate issue of

'Coverdales New Testament, printed

by Matthew Crom in. 1538. Start- |
ling in this group is a 17th century
Hebrew scroll of the Book of
Esther.

In the same ease is a page from
the Gutenberg Bible belonging to
the Misses Mary and Margaret
Pierce.

Outstanding among incunabula
belonging to the faculty are the
Geneva, or Breeches, Bible loaned
by Miss Woodworth, Mr. Herben’s
17th century edition of the Vulgate,
a 15th century French Manuscript
and a Psalter belonging to Mr.
Chew. Mrs. Jessen has contributed
a remarkable German Bible, two
volumes- done in German gothic
type and illustrated with large
striking woodcuts.__This_text—was
printed in Augsberg in 1518.

The display will continue until
the end of December.

Awakening

The educated people of China, on
the other hand, according to Vir-

9.00 | | might have’stopped the movement: ginia Dzung, had become aware be-
fore 1930 of the world wide issues

at stake in the battle of democracy
and totalitarianism.

Vivi French, representing Amer-
ica, told how the intellectuals. of
this country, although for the most
part finally awake to the peril of
totalitarianism, have been too si-
lent and too inactive.

World Citizen
The group attributed this un-

awareness to the “starry-eyed”’
naiveté of citizens. In an ideal
‘citizen, intellectual _ achievements

must be combined with a full con-
sciousness of national and interna-

General Culture
One: of the duties of universities
in shaping such world citizens was
felt to be the providing of a back-
ground of ‘general culture. Al-

ERRATUM

Last week’s article on the wire
advocating declaration of war
omitted the fact that the sixty-
six signers of the telegram included
members of both the faculty and
the College staff. It is not true
that sixty-six’ faculty members
signed.

The College staff consists of em-
ployees who are not on the faculty,
including persons in the adminis-
tration, librarians, secretaries, doc-
tors, nurses and technicians, peo-
ple in the College workshops, and
those concerned with teaching, but
not of faculty rank; instructors,
readers, demonstrators, assistants.



colleges contribute to the general
culture of their students. In
French universities, where there
are no organized sports, the spirit
of competition finds its only outlet
in individual academic rivalries.
Royal Kee, on the other hand, feels
that outside work in U. S. A. and
Canada is overstressed.

Technical Skill

A new task must be assumed by
modern universities—the teaching
of technical skills. Brazil’s future
success lies in the hands of her
technicians, Skippy Hughes de-
clared, while Jeannette Lepska
thinks that Poland, not benefiting
from her trained technicians, needs
a broader perspective in her citi-
zens, a better sense of relative



values, which only a liberal educa-





OPINION

American Flag Should Fly
On Bryn Mawr Campus
Writes I. R: P.







To the Editor of the College News:

I think it would be a very good
idea for Bryn Mawr College to fly
the American flag. Most schools

‘and colleges have one, and I think

many of us miss having it around.
Merion Green would be a promi-
nent and, I believe, a good place
for the flagpole. TARP 4:



tion can provide.
But even a proper balance of gen-
eral culture and technical skills is
not enough. These amount. to noth-
ing if the university or college
fails to provide for its students a
moral standard, an absolute human
integrity.
