H. A. Niller. Speaks:
On Masaryk’s' Work
For Czechoslovakia

SPONSOR OF LECTURE
IS GRADUATE CEUB

Goodhart Hall, November 3.—The
late President Masaryk was unques-
tionably the greatest man to come
out of the war period, said Mr. Her-
bert A. Miller, lecturer in Social

Economy at Bryn Maws, speaking on
Masaryk, Political Idealist, Teacher of
Men, and of Nations. His life and
work, mainly influenced by the teach-
ings of Plato and Jesus, showed him
to be “the most nearly perfect exam-
ple of Plato’s Philosopher King.” Be-
lieving that “idealism was practical,”
he always sought to attain ideals,
knowing ‘the limitations of man. He
éalled- democracy a_ political and
moral. educational. process and con-
sidered truth the best propaganda.
Therefore he was able to gain univer-
sal trust through unpopular causes.

His father was a coachman in the
Hapsburg family. His mother was a
cook. Masaryk himself was appren-
ticed to a blacksmith. before he re-
ceived a doctorate in Greek and Latin
at the University of Vienna and at
Leipzig. He took up revolutionary
activity with reluctance, left it, went
to Rome and Geneva, “and started
educating the world.”

Mr. Miller’s relationship with Ma-
saryk, he said, started with his Amer-
icanization work with Czechs in this
country, which led him into a study
of the Czechs’ attempts to preserve
the ideals of their state. Through
this study he met Masaryk in Bo-
hemia in 1912, and from then on
worked with him on the sociological
aspects of the Revolution.

Mr. Miller spoke in detail’ about
his day-to-day-life with Masaryk. By
the time a week had passed—a week
of morning discussions, lasting from
breakfast through lunch, and after-
“noon excursions—Mr.
monopoly on the knowledge of Central
Europe:” His part was to change
the soldiers’ attitudes toward the im-

Salomon. Gives Details
On Present Day Russia



Government, Education, Talent
Discussed in Interview



Dr. Richard Salomon, who is teach-
ing a course in Russian history which
replaces the first half year of Europe
Since 1870, is a very busy man.~Last
winter he spent four months in this
country lecturing at Harvard, Prince-

ton and other eastern colleges. This
year he is teaching at the University
of Pennsylvania ‘as well as at Bryn
Mawr; and incidentally is finding
the Main Line trains harassing. A

|graduate of the University of Berlin,

he was professor of history at Ham-
burg University for 20 years.

_ Having been away from Germany
for three and a half years, Dr. Salo-

|mon preferred to omit~discussion of

Nazi politics. However, he was will-
ing to discourse at length on Russia,
only banning questions which —in-
volved the Soviet Union’s future. “I
could tell you how many men live
on Mars, too,” he said. The future
of any country ‘is tied up with po-
litical, social and economic conditions.
The actual turn of events is controlled
by accident and coincidence.

Today Russia has a Marxian dic-
tatorship, and though political poli-
cies are established by representa-
tives of the proletariat, the reins of

Undergraduates Will Give Bacon’s Hamlet,.
The Original, Unrevised, and Virile Version



Early Shakespearean Tragedy
~ Will Make Debut With All

Feminine Cast



- In strictest.confidence, the News has
accepted the following statement from
two undergraduates who wish to be
nameless, in regard to a production
of Hamlet which they have arranged
to take place next Friday evening.
They say:

“While it is based on Shakespeare’ 8
great treatment of the Hamlet theme,
Friday night’s production is essential-
ly. asnew interpretation, of the play,
suggested by an unpublished treatise
of the 17th century which reveals that
Shakespeare rewrote Hamlet in 1602
Pe with the London blue
laws, leaving out numerous scenes
which he later incorporated in his
other plays. .

“Any student of English literature
is aware of the fact that Shakespeare
was merely the nom de plume of Sir
Francis Bacon, who called himself
that because of an emblem on the fam-
ily shield which shows a javelin ram-
‘pant held by a mailed forearm agi-
tant. Sir Francis was not only the
author of the so-called Shakespearean

plays, but he also wrote Den Qo

(which was latér translated into
Spanish by a minor. Iberian poet
named Cervantes) and edited a collec-
tion of Danish and early English
legends called the Saxo Grammaticus.
Among the manuscripts which Bacon
discarded when compiling the Saxo
Grammaticus was the original Amblet,
or Hamlet legend. This virile and
ks { e :



primitive .story ened the text for
his first version of Hamlet.

“Bacon, or Shakespeare as we may
call him when speaking of him as a
dramatist, was notorious for pains-
taking revision of his work, and his
first versions were invariably more
dramatically compelling than his later
ones. Therefore, we feel that the
unearthing for the first time of this
eatly Hamlet is of inestimable value
to the tradition of English drama.

“It is singularly appropriate that
the new Hamlet should be put on for
the first time at Bryn Mawr, a wom-

‘en’s-college, and\that it should, be-done

with a complete cast of women. In
Bacon’s day, his plays were produced
by an entirely male cast, because that
was a man’s world and women’s activi-
ties were suppressed. However, by
the second decade of the 20th century
women have completely _ outstripped
men, and our present civilization is
definitely that of the feminine. sex.
We feel that a great drama can only
be interpreted aptly in terms of the
civilization dominant as it is per-
formed, and for women to enjoy Ham-
let nowadays, it is as important that
women act its leading roles as it was
in the days. of ‘Shakespeare’ for men

College Inaugurates

New Goodhart Policy



Series of Entertainments Will
Offer Shan-Kar, Engel Lund
And Vienna Choir

“@

SEASON SEATS ON’ SALE

(Mrs. Chadwick-Collins nas asked
the News to publish the following in-
formation.)

The College Entertainment Commit-
tee is bringing, in a series, three en-
tertainments to Goodhart Hall. The
Vienna Choir Boys on January 10 for
the benefit of the Bryn Mawr = Hos-
pital; Madame Engel Lund
February 8 for the benefit of the
Mrs. Otis Skinner Theater Workshop;
the Shan-Kar’ dancers on March 15,
for the benefit of the Deanery.

The Vienna-Choir Boys, who have
been to the college twice before and
have both times had full houses, will
leave America on January 22. Shan-
Kar sails the end of March and does
not expect. to return for a number
of years. Madame Lund is a famous
European singer, acclaimed by Eu-
ropean critics, and is being brought
to this country, for the first time, by
Hurok, who: brought the Russian
Ballet and Shan-Kar to America.
“She might be called a singing Ruth
Draper, dramatizing as she does
through song the folk of many na-
tions.” The London Daily Telegraph
writes: “The first of Madame Engel
Lund’s three recitals of ‘Songs of
Many Lands’ introduced to the big
London public a very considerable
artist and a personality of great
charm. She has an-enchantingly un-
forced sense of humor. .The_ two
songs that went: best of all were in
strong contrast to each other—a gay,
cynical little French fable and a re-
ligious ‘counting song’ from Denmark.
As attractive as anything else in the
recital were Madame Lund’s explana-
tions of the songs, delivered in
English.”

The ‘committee is inaugurating a
new policy in that these entertain-
ments will be offered to the colleges
and schools of the neighborhood in a
series at the following prices:

Infinite Fields Opened
By Recording Machine



Peculiarities of Language Are

Studied and_Elimiyated

With the coming of the voice re-
cording machine, the “Bryn Mawr
accent” is a thing of the past, a le-
gend never to be recalled. Affecta-

ion is decidedly out. Such was the
ultimatum passed by Miss Mary Hen-
derson, director of all recordings.

The machine, bought at a cost of
fivé hundred dollars, is the. property
of the college. It consists of a cut-
ter, which makes the record, and a
loud speaker whieh plays the record
back to its listeners. Portable, it can
be used wherever there is A. C, cur-
rent. But a soundproof room has been
provided in the basement of Pem-
broke East for ‘its use.

It is hoped that everyone, faculty

and students, will’avail themselves of
the opportunity to use the machine.
The French Department has already
manifested its interest. Language
students can be aided in pronuncia-
tion, as. the recordings are almost in-
fallible in the exposition of errors.
Mr. Willoughby has also used the
machine during rehearsals of the mad-
rigal singing. Mistakes in pitch and
tempo have been accurately demon-
strated to the singers.. Mr. Hans
Schuman will record a number of his
compositions for dancing classes.
_ A charge of 75 cents will be made
for all recordings... The ‘charge cov-
ers the cost of the metal discs, the
needles, wear and tear on the ma-
chine, and operating expenses. Rec-
ovds are,J0 and 12 inches respectively.
Those interested in recording their
singing voice may also do so. Fur-
thermore, the department is anxious
to experiment with the recording of
musical instruments.

So far, the machine has been chief-
ly used by the Freshman Speech
classes. Records are being made at
the beginning and end of the year.
A complete geographical history of
every member of the Class of ’41 has
been taken. The birthplace of the
girl, of her parents, and grandparents,
location of her schools; and the ex-
tent of her traveling have all been
filed. From this information, pe-

culiarities and faults in her speech

Panofsky Explains
Neo-Platonism as
Influence on Titian



Philosophical Stil Developed
By Ficcino and Members
Of Platonic Academy .

CHRISTIAN AND PAGAN
CREEDS ARE FUSED.

Goodhart, 7.—In his
fourth lecture, Mr. Panofsky explained
the heo-PYatonic system as the philoso-

phy of*the Renaissance. He described
its development by Ficcino and other
members of the Platonic Academy in
Florence, and its influence on Titian,
exemplified in three of his best known
paintings, The Allegory, The Educa-
tion of Cupid, and Sacred and Profane
Love.

Ficcino was the soul of the informal
society which comprised the Floren-
tine Academy. His task was three-
fold: To translate the documents of
Plato and Plotinus; To coordinate
them into a living system; and to
find a new Platonic meaning in old
writers and ‘harmonize it with the
Christian religion, the first attempt to.
fuse the Christian philosophy baaath a
great pagan philosophy.

In Fiecino’s universe, God is uni-
form action, not movement, a God
in whom being, thinking, and willing
are the same. | “He fills the universe
without being filled, pervades it with-
out being pervaded, and includes it
without being included.” Ficcino
conceived of a sphere with God on the
outside, then concentric circles of cos-
mic mind and celestial’ world. The
celestial world is called cosmic soul,
as against cosmic mind,.and is mov-
with self-induced movement.
Here we have pure causes. Cosmic
spirit connects these causes with na-
ture, which is no longer incorruptible,
but composed of forms and matter,
and matter is the innermost circle.
The concentric spheres are one living
thing, with a current of energy flow-
ing from above to below, each circle
of being contemplating and caring ~
for the one within it.

For his conception of the human
soul, Ficcino shared a belief in the
analogy between the macrocosm and
the microcosm, where body and soul
correspond to the material and the im- —
material. Propagation, growth, and
perception are determined by the
physical condition. The higher soul
has two faculties, reason and mind;
reason communicates with the body,
mind with the cosmic or divine mind.
Mind has to illuminate.reason during
her struggles with body, and is thus
sometimes forced to look down instead
of up.

MODEL LEAGUE WILL
BE HELD AT RUTGERS





November -





Merion Showcase, November 9.—
The International Relations Club. met
this afternoon to discuss the possi-
bility of attending the Model League
of Nations which is to be held this
year at Rutgers University on April
7, 8, and 9. Five countries were voted
on as possible for representation.
They are, in preferential order: Rus-
sia, France, China, and England and
Argentina, the last two tying for fifth
choice.

Since the Model Assembly is going
to discuss the ‘Far Eastern problem,
and the relation of the League to ~
foreign interference in internal con-
flicts, any one of these countries
would be important. Russia is promi-
nent in both categories, for she is con-
cerned in interference in Spain as
well as in the Far East.’ France is
also prominent. in international af-
fairs, whereas England has not only
an integest in China and the Mediter-
ranean afea, but also retains a key
position in international affairs. Ar-
gentina is important mainly “because
of her leading part in South America
and because she entertains the hope
of bringing all countries together,

under her own guidance, in an effort ~~

toward international peace and under-

Bryn Mawr and William Shakespeare
We greet with not a little trepidation the knowledge that a group
of undergraduates has taken it upon themselves to give ‘us a production
in the near future of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Assuming for the
moment that they are not overly ambitious in attempting a Shakespeare
play at all, we feel most. strongly that Hamlet is a very unfortunate
choice. Last winter’s two famous Broadway productions, ‘each unique
and unsurpassable in its own way, leave little room for originality ‘or
improvement on the part of such an inexperienced group. of players.
We feel that Bryn Mawr can have nothing to add in a dramatic way to
the rich store of modern Hamletania. :
~ We are further concerned to learn that the students are attempting
this ambitious project without any men in the cast, and those of our
readers who are familiar with English Literature must be aware that
there are only two women’s parts of any consequence in the play.
Moreover, we have heard from an inside’ source that the play is being
given a woefully inadequate production, We.are convinced that,:since
the purpose of the performance is to increase the funds of Players’
Club, all. of the students and most of the faculty will certainly attend,
so that their half dollars and their valuable time will be grievously
wasted if the production proves. to-be, as it promises, an unfortunate,
we might almost say, a ludicrous failure. It is a, veritable disgrace to
the eollege at large—it is a disgrace that will not be easily lived down.
We warn these nameless undergraduates that they are about to per-
petrate something which will be a-blot*on the escutecheon of Bryn
‘Mawr’s good taste—more!which will be an insult to the sacred
reputation of William Shakespeare.



A Dillar a Dollar

This semester two cases have come before the Self-Government
board of students departing around 10 in the evening to sit in the
Greeks until 11.30, after having signed out “Seville-movies.” Unless
the rules are changed we agree with Self-Government in giving the
people involved stiff penalties, campusings of a week or more. But
we are not one to keep the Bryn Mawr girl from.her beer. Are these
sinners justified when they say that there is not enough time to eat if
they have to-be back in the halls by 10.30, and if they are what‘can be|
done about it?

The old argument that it doesn’t “look nice” for Bryn Mawr girls
to be hanging around the village so late, we think no longer holds.
Bryn Mawr has let its back hair dqwn sufficiently so that sitting in the
Greeks early or late is the same thing.

The time when most people want to go to the Greeks is.at 10, after
working i in the library. Consideging that it takes ten minutes each way
to the village, the amount of eating that can be done between then
and 10.30 is definitely limited. Before this time is too close to dinner
and ‘10.30 is a convenient stopping point in an evening’s work. 11.30
permission would not be necessary; three-quarters of an hour to an
hour affords plenty of time in which to satisfy the undergraduate
appetite. For these 10 o’clock eaters, if there are enough of them to
justify going through the red tape of getting official approval, we sug-
gest a new permission of 10.45 or 11. Our advice to potential criminals
at present is either to take to leaving the campus at quarter of 10 or to
fight for legal guzzling.

To the Editors of the College News:

* Last spring the Non-Partisan Com-

dren collected $315 ‘to aid the work
of the American Friends’ Service
Committee in feeding and repatriating
Recently the chair-





the following letter:

THE SPANISH CHILD FEEDING
MISSION
of the
American. Friends Service Committee
Philadelphia, Pa.
October 30th, 1937.

Dear Friend:

lief work, Spain was.in the headlines
and there was a great outpouring of
sympathy for the refugee children.
For‘several months your efforts con-
tributed toward support which ‘prom-
ised to assure them our’ anticipated
relief program of $10,000 a month.
We are now dismayed to discover

that during the past four months con-

tributions have been as follows:

July: $4310.55; August: $2038.63;
September: $3055.68 ;° October:
$1417.56.

You will note the downward trend.
Manifestly, these totals are far from
sufficient to carry the commitments
that we have made to our workers
in Spain. They are now seasoned and
experienced and have developed most
valuable lines of work. In addition,
we have underwritten the cost of op-
erating -three children’s hospitals
which were established by English
workers in Murcia, Almeria and Ali-
cante, and which were in danger of
being closed for lack of ‘funds. At
the moment our total commitments to
the field amount to $3000 a. month,
but should not be less than $6500.

I lay this situation before you with
much concern in thehope= that you
can stimulate people and organiza-
tions in your community to continue
their support of this impartial relief
effort. We believe that it is the most
powerful force for good will and
reconciliation. Under separate cover
you will receive shortly, a new bulle-
tin containing. excerpts from our
workers’ reports and other informa-
tion available for wide distribution.
Please advise us what quantities you
can use. Your suggestions are most
valuable. I would welcome the bene-
fit of your advice at this juncture.

Sincerely yours,

A. ARROYO PUZZLED
BY ARCADIA MURALS



(First of a series of interviews with
the Foreign Graduate Students.) |

There: is one thing that Arsenia
Arroyo,’ Spanish Exchange student,
cannot understand in .America: the
murals in the Arcadia. She does not
see why, alongside of Hitler ard Mus-
solini and Blum ‘and Stalin in the
cosmopolitan bar, there should be a
Spanish bull-fighter. -She reads the
Times because it is most accurate on
Spain, but does not consider it very
satisfactory.

The Americans, whom she calls es-
sentially practical people, have been
very kind to her since she arrived
here in August. She and her sister
came over together, both to do chem-
istry. Miss Arroyo is specializing in
biochemistry and is especially inter-
ested in drugs. She has found that
Americans work continuously,..while.
the Spanish students, and especially
the men, ignore the lectures and pick
up the courses just before examina¢
tions. However they are quicker than
the Americans.

Miss Arroyo’s interests are extreme-
ly varied. She likes Bergson and
skiing; she considers Ortega/y Gasset
the best modern ‘Spanish : philosopher

4-2 in Last Half Rally



Line-Up Change Baffles
Bryn Mawr Team

Visitors’



November 6.—The first half of a

‘hockey “game between Bryn Mawr

Varsity and Merion Cricket Club gave
indication of a superior team on~the
part of Bryn Mawr. ‘The pte:
were fast, the backs dependable, and
the passing between wings and inners
and from the backfield to the forward
line was diréct as well as effective.
The result of all this was a nominal
lead of two points at the end of the
half, 2-0, in favor, of Bryn Mawr.

In the intermission various in-
dividual problems were cleared up,
among them the rather difficult one
of disposing of Ann Townsend, vet-
eran fullback of the All-American
team, who always appeared where she
was least wanted as far as Bryn
Mawr was concerned. It was thought,
however, that she could be dealt with
rather severely in the second period.

Thus, full of confidence, Bryn Mawr
lined up for the second half only
to find that Libby ‘Toulmin had been
shifted from center-half to right-in-
ner. This proved a new source of
complaint. The effect on Bryn Mawr
was appalling, and it was not long
before center-forward French drove
two hard shots into the goal. Var-
sity had evidently used up a great
deal of energy in keeping the lead in
the first half, so it was to be expected
that it should experience a reactionary
slump. It was not thought, however,
that the reaction would be more or
less permanent, ending as it did in a
defeat for Bryn Mawr with a score
of 4-2.

counteracted “the stupid materialism”
so prevalent in Central Europe.

One interesting incident, occurring
in the course of the work for the
Czechs’ freedom happened at a din-
ner where both Paderewski and Ma-
saryk were to speak. Paderewski de-
voted his entire speech to praising
Masaryk. Masaryk had not planned
a speech about Paderewski, but im-
provised one about Art and Politics
in Poland, emphasizing the pianist’s
connection with Polish freedom, com-
pletely winning the New York press.

Mr. Miller, the Ameri-
can representative of the Union,
worked with Masaryk on this and on .
the Constitution of the Republic of
Czechoslovakia. It was a notable fact
that the press was so much in sympa-
thy with the welfare of the Little En-
tente, that nothing was published con-
cerning the conflicts. at the confer-
ence,

The actual declaration was issued
from Washington after being ap-
proved from the Czech headquarters
at Paris. A cable announcing the
election of Masaryk as President of
the Republic was received along with
an enthusiastic telegram from Presi-
dent Wilson.

Mr. Miller prefaced his lecture by
saying it was sponsored by the gradu-
ate club, but mainly by Dean Schenck.
He also felt that it was particularly

{fitting that his tribute should be given

believed so strongly in the equality of
men and women that he took his wife’s
maiden name as his middle name.

beria to join the French army. _

Neo-Platonism Creed oe
Of the Renaissance









; Continued from Page One

Man shares the faculties of his
lower soul with animals, and the fac-
ulty of his higher soul, mind, with God
and the angels. But since reason is
exclusively ttuman, it-can turn either
toward the brutes or the angels, and)
thus man can ascend to the higher
without discarding the lower, and vice
versa. Sometimes: his soul recovers
from its downfall and Femembers its
pre-existential state, and he is en-
abled to attain on earth temporal
beatitude, in which reason directs hu-
man good on earth, and the mind con-
templates beauty and truth. Ficcino
espoused the cause of the contempla-
tive life, the devotion of the mind to





bolized by two Venuses: the celestial
Venus, who belongs to the immaterial
sphere and dwells in the super-celes-

tial zone of the cosmic mind, and the
other Venus, who dwells in the realm
of the cosmic soul, and symbolizes .a

particularized image of primary
beauty, realized in the corporeal
world. With Ficcino, both Venuses

pursue the creation of beauty in their
Pown way.

The ¢heories of Ficcino’ exerted a
tremendous influence on artists and
poets, but occasioned an~.avalanche
of dialogues on love in North-Italian
literagure, thus turning an esoteric
philosophy into a social game. This
typeof literature, whose response to
the neo-Platonic was essentially aes-
thetic, illustrates the difference be-
tween Florence and Venice. The
Florentine ideal is best manifested: by
a proudly erect David—the Venetian,
by a recumbent Venus.

Bandinelli, is a good example of the
Florentine style. It-pictures a quarrel
between the lower soul and reason,
with mind as umpire; the translation
into images of the orthodox neo-Pla-
tonic concept. Titian’s Sacred and
Profane Love has something in com-

The Fray of.Cupid and Apollo, by! signified simplicity.

Apollo, but)*it symbolizes one prin-
ciple in two ‘modes of existence, in-

stead of the struggle between good
and evil. The title should read The
Twin Venuses, for both Venuses are
honorable and praiseworthy, as Fic-
cino would have had it.

The contrast between nude and
draped figures was traditional, though
the draped figure usually stood for the
loftier principle. In mediaeval art
and in the Bible, nudity was thought
objectionable, though figuratively it
Horace speaks
of “nuda veritas,” and the nude truth
became one of the most popular per-
sonifications of Renaissance art.

In the Allegory, Titian shows the
happy union of a betrothed or newly-
married couple, with Love, Faith, and
Hope looking on and Cupid bearing



the pursuit of the good, the true, and
the beautiful.

The idea of love is the axis of
Ficcino’s philosophical system; love,
he says, is only‘another name for the
endless current between God and the
world. ®The ultimate goal, divine
goodness, manifest in beauty, and love
is a desire for the fruition of beauty.
There are two kinds of beauty, sym-
