Visual ‘and Emotional Synthesis
Aim of Renaissance, Says -
Mr. Panofsky



DURING THIS PERIOD

Goodhart, October 25.



— Renais-

sance and Baroque representations of |.

Time fused classical and mediaeval

ture. Father Time as we see: him
is a combination of the “brief decisive
‘and the
image of Time, the Deatrover created
in the late Middle Ages.

The revivalist spirit of the Renais-
sance’ did not confine itself to reih-
stating: classical types within the
limits of the classical sphere, but
aimed ata visual and emotional syn-

the Christian present. -This syn-
thesis was achieved either by the re-

bolic content of a secular” but defi-
nitely non-classical character) or by
the natural merging ‘of classical and
mediaeval traditions in the Renais-
sance. The seperability of the differ-

in a transmutation.and fusion, which
in turn brought about a -pseudo-
morphis, by which Renaissance~ fig-
ures received a meaning not present
in their classical prototypes. Father
Time is one of these reputedly class
sical characters who managed to
“withstand the wholesale elimination
of humanistic elements in the last
century.

In ancient art there are two main
types of images of Time: Time is
frequently represented as the moment
of opportunity on which fates of men
and worlds turn; or .Time may sym-
bolize inexhaustible ereativeness,_In
both representations the figure has

ous. In other words, the ancients
thought of Time as possessing infinite
fertility and universal power, or

but never as the relentless, pursuer. of
all men.
Early philosophers used the simi-

Time and Saturn as a proof of ‘the
identity between the two conceptions.
In order to strengthen the associa-
tion, ‘they reinterpreted the god’s at-
tributes as symbols of .Time. How-

Luncheon Meetings Held Monthly
In Philadelphia





(Especially contributed by Louise
Morley, ’40.)

The fact that there are two wars
in progress in two different parts of
the globe makes international rela-
tions a popular and, moreover, an ex-
tremely important topic of conversa-
tion and ‘interest. The great numbers
of peace organizations show us the
activity of peace workers; the value
of their varied suggestions as to how
to maintain peace so as to keep the
United States out of war has yet to be
shown. However, there can be no
doubt that since peace and world poli-
tics have become such popular sub-
jects of discussion, an organization
that attempts to disseminate the re-
sults of impartial research to the pub-
lic is an extremely valuable one.

The Foreign Policy Association,
through its publication of weekly sur-
veys of important international is-
sues; its morescomplete fortnightly
reports on world problems, and its
educational headline books which at-
tempt to present in simple terms the;
social, economic, and political prob-
lems confronting everyone today, has
become one of the ‘most important
sources of information of this sort in
the United States. In addition, it
conducts a series of luncheon discus-
sion meetings in New York and in
its branch cities, of which Philadel-
phia is one of the most important.
This year its,meetings will take place
at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel on
November 20, December 11, January
8, February 5, Febyuary 26, and
March 19. The speakers. at the first
meeting will be: Raymond Swing,

Practical Approach Preferred by Most

For Speakers: in

Sunday Night Chapel



Selects — Subjects

In Spring Questionnaire



(Especially contributed "by Allen
Raymond, ’38.)

The Chapel Committee wishes to
take this opportunity to thank all
those who answered- the chapel ques-
tionnaire -so willingly last spring.
‘They were of great assistance in ex-
pressing public opinion, and we will
do our utmost to make changes in
the chapels for the coming year which
will best accord with the popular de-
sires.

‘The correlated answers to the leaf-
-lets revealed much that was. of inter-
est. gre hundred and eight people
voted ‘for a practical approach to
chapel topics, many of them citing
Mr. Glenn’s. The ‘intellectual approach
followed, with a vote of 60, whereas
the emotional (not sertimental)
scarcely scored at all. Students were
more interested . in hearing social
problems discussed than any others.

When asked what aspects of the
‘church interested them most, a very

answered, “Comparisons with the re-
ligions of other. lands, and compara-
tive denominations in our own land.”

There were repeated requests in
this connection to have the services
conducted in the manner of the va-
rious denominations. This does not
seem possible to arrange, but the com-
mittee has made a great effort to vary
the affiliations of the ‘speakers as
much as possible.

In answer to the question, “rf you
went to chapel in former years and do
not now, what is the reason?”, 37
answered “Too much work.” Some}
people did not like the speakers. We
are sorry, but are providing many
new ones this year, largely as answer
to specific requests. which have been
made. Many suggested that there was
not enough enthusiasm ‘or interest in

Little Entente Born

Czechoslovakian President Was
Advised by~Mr/H. A. Miller
In War Crisis



TO SPEAK ON MASARYK



(Especially contributed by . the
Publication’ Office.)
Herbert Adolphtss Miller, Ameri-

can, and lecturer in sociology at Bryn
Mawr College, is a.man indelibly as-
sociated with the establishment of the
Czechoslovak Republic. The charac-
ter of Masaryk, its President, the
story of its founding and the un-
written drama of its national recog-
nition are the themes of the public
lecture which Mr. Miller will give on
Wednesday evening, November 3, in

the Graduate Club.

Mr. Miller will give this levers as
a: tribute — to the late President
Masaryk* who Emil Ludwig in his
biography of Masaryk, Defender of
Democracy, asserts was the greatest
statesman in Europe. Mr. Miller calls
his lecture,.Masaryk, Practical Ideal-
ist, Teacher of Men and of Nations.

The association:of Mr. Miller with
President Masaryk is itself a roman-
tic story. In 1912 Mr. Miller was
working on the subject of Americani-
zation as a branch of his general field
of sociology. He discovered that
throughout the country, Czech com-
munities, although they were com-
posed of American citizens, were giv-
ing their money and their thought to
the preservation of Czech ideals and
ultimate freedom of the state. He

and later that year went ‘to Bohemia
with a letter of introduction to Pro-
fessor Masaryk:

Masaryk was at that time profes-
sor of sociology at the University of
Prague. He recognized at once that
this professor of sociology from
America knew about his people, per-
haps, more than any other, certainly
more than any other American, and
from that time on they were collabo-
rators. Mr. Miller entered into this
cooperation with the Czechs as. a
sociologist, nor did he. ever deviate
from this approach.

On October 26, 1918, 12 nationali-
ties, they were not nations, because
they had no countries of their own,
met, fittingly, in Independence Hall in
Philadelphia, to draft their Declara-
tion of Independence, and their terms
of alliance. And this was the crea-
tion of The Little tEntente. The
previous week Mr. Miller worked with
Professor Masaryk on the form of
the Czechoslovakian Declaration of
Independence and the Constitution of
the Republic of Czechoslovakia. When
the task~ was finished, they called
Paris, the official headquarters then
of the Czeschoslovak national party,

BREAKFAST HOUR CHANGED
A change in breakfast hours in the
college -has been announced because
of the new Pennsylvania wage law for
women. Although the maids of Bryn
Mawr do not exceed the 44-hour-a-
week maximum, a difficulty is pre-
sented by the clause in the law which
states that the eight hours they work
a day must come within a period of
12 hours. If breakfast opens at 7.30,
the maids must be in the halls by
7.15,\and they often have to stay un-
til nearly 8.00 in the evening to finish
washing dishes. The college is anx-
ious to comply with the spirit as well
as the. letter of the law, and so has
taken on an extra helper for the cook
in each hall. However, its budget
does not permit the hiring of a whole
set of waitresses dinner; there-
fore, to fit the mafds’ day into the’ 12-
hour program, datas breakfast must

Svedberg Predicts
Coming Unification
Of Scientific Fields °

Traces History of Post-Medieval
Differentiation, and Growth .
Of Techniqués

é

EXPLAINS EXPERIMEN
-IN PHYSIO-:CHEMISTRY







“At present the relations between
physical chemistry and biology and
medicine are becoming more and more .
friendly,” said Dr. The- Svedberg, in
his introduction to the discussion of

his new theory of the physio-chemis-
try of proteins.

In the. Middle Ages, he explained,
the scientist was philosopher, doctor,
and sometimes theologian. Research
in any one branch of science stimu-
lates interest in all the others. Para-
celsus, or Theophratus van Hohen-
heim, who lived from 1493 to 1541
was the first to apply purely chemical
a medical problems. © He
recofnized,)as his contemporaries did
not, that on could be fought with
chemicals, and had “marvelously mod- _

ern” views of disease-germs, heredity,

and infection. In fighting all the
ancient laws of Aristotle, Galenus, and
Avicenna, the scientific leaders of the
Middle Ages, he brandished a sword
“illuminated by flames of the Middle
Ages and receiving the first rays from
the dawn of. the Renaissance.” Von. -
Helmhut (1578-1644) who was more
cautious in the proclamation of his
findings,- discovered the physio-chem-
ical law of_conservation of matter 150
years before Lavoisier.

Differentiation between the sciences
occurred during the 17th, 18th, and
especially during the first half of the
19th centuries, with the development
of new kinds of experimental tech-
nique, in’ biology, .chemistry, and
physics, which were used sparingly, if
at all, in medicine. The founding of
physical chemistry as a separate sci-
ence towards the end of the 19th cen-
tury heralded the approach of an atti-
tude of more universal-curiosity—and
consciousness of the unity of all knowl-
edge. Biologists like de Vries and
Pfeffer were the first to be interested
in cooperation of the sciences. The
founders of classical physical chem-
istry, van Hoff, Arrhenius, and Ost- -
wald, all were interested in biology
and medicine.

“At present,” Dr. Svedberg said,
“there is no doubt a general tendency
of unification of science. ..The experi-
mental means of today are becoming
common property to all branches of
natural science.” Biologists of the

future should be _physio-chemists

Comprehensives
Last yeat’s seniors felt rather noble throughout the year, and
terrifically harassed for almost the whole second semester because of

the great unknown trial they were

facing. The rallying-cry of those

who tore their hair out in the middle of the night, and threatened
mutiny was “Guinea pigs!” Juniors and underclassmen were informed
. of the debt they would owe to the class of ’37 whenever they also ven-

tured ever so feebly to voice apprehension for the future.

ot

Now, as we read Mrs. Manning’s summary of the results, of the
questionnaire which 63 seniors filled out after the ordeal, and as we

_ remember their smoking-room com

ents after the marks were out, we

are fittingly appreciative of their efforts, and their careful considera-

tion of the merits and defects of the Comprehensive plan.

Last year’s

seniors’ contribution to the plan was bigge er, than any the class of ’38
can possibly make; except for one thing, that is, we can work toward
the examinations in a calmer and more contemplative frame of mind

than they.
we should ever work ourselves into
than that of the ordinary mid-year

‘From all that has been said to us, we can fee no reason why

ah hysterical state any more acute
period.

There is one kind of encouragement, we lack, however, that many
of us feel would insure our peace of mind. We are still. a bit in the
dark as to what the program of reading or review is going to be, and
we feel that we ought to get under way. In fact, we aren’t even exactly
sure what the private reading program is going to be, reading or

review. Many of us have not had

our first conferences yet; most of

us have the apprehensive feeling that a great big program of work is

going to loom upon us suddenly after mid-years.

Still: we are deter-

mined to be stoic, and to progress toward Comprehensives sanely and

in our right minds.

All we need is some benevolent advice from the faculty, and the
reassuring knowledge that work will start soon and that it will not
suddenly assume unheard-of proportions late in the year.

ABROAD AT HOME







Introducing a new sector of inves-
tigation which, because of recent more
complex sojourns by your columnist,
has been turned over to our competent
correspondent, Joe Pieweed. His in-
itial contribution reached us just at
the dead-line, making it. quite. impos-
sible for us te amend it, so we print
it in a fresh and unadulterated form
as follows:

My familiar friend, Harry Fried,
owner: of the Anthony Wayne and
Seville Theaters, has just opened a
new Suburban Theater in Ardmore
across from Strawbridge and Cloth-
ier’s. As far as convenience, com-
fort and character go, the theater is
a masterpiece, because the rows’ are
far enough apart to allow persons to
remain seated while late-comers crawl
over, them. Also, I hear that there
are smoking rooms and lounges for

mixed company. The one drawback.

is a peculiar but obstinate fear on the
part of Mr. Fried of getting good
pictures. This can be explained in
part by a bitter feud which indepen-
dent Mr. Fried has been carrying on
with consolidated Warner Brothers,
who think Fried’s theaters are too
well located for Warner’s conveni-
ence. ‘ Meanwhile, Fried refuses to
sell his theaters and Warners refuse
to rent their pictures. Hence, we get
third-rate pictures interspersed with
numerous bank nights.

My wife says to tell -you that
Alicia Marshall has finally had
enough sense to move from the east-
ernmost outskirts of Ardmore to a
building right across from the. sta-
tion (P. R. R.). She peeked in the
window the other day and saw trays
full of wool all around the room.
There were also samples of Braemar
swagger coats, some blouses, sweat-
ers, dresses, hats, and even lingerie.

‘Brackbill’s Market, which was. just
east of Strawbridge’s on the other
side of the road, has at last given
place to a whole row of one-story
buildings. which lead up to and con-
nect with the new movie theater.
Almost all the stores are occupied,
but Sara (my wife), says she wouldn’t
recommend any just yet because
there doesn’t appear to be much there
but some fancy names so’ far.
are the names she mentioned: The
Cake Box (homemade cakes on order) ;
Jean Harcum, millinery, dresses;
Lois Umbsen’s, antiques, gifts, deco-
rating; Corner, vacancy; Llewellyn’s
Drug Store (pronounced “thweth-
lin”) ; Naomi K. Griffith; flowers; and
Parker and Angle, social stationers.

Rumors about the arrival of Lord
and Taylor’s were unverified by
Strawbridge’s disky doorman. He
remarked that he had heard some-
thing about it earlier, but that noth-
ing was materializing. (My wife
thinks he is in the sales-promotion
department.) =
- This is all thenews so far.

tinue long in the same direction or
under the same name. Most of them
are cobblestoned and very picturesque
when you first arrive, but hard on
shoes and most uncomfortable if you
wear high heels. In the old quarter
sidewalks disappear. Crooked little
alleys run between crowded, dilapi-
dated houses, with windows not always
on a jlevel. There. are no wooden
houseg in Tours; white stone is the
rule;but the oldest ones are in queer
faded pastels. Some of the streets
are picturesquely named, like the Rue
du Coeur Navré, or the Rue du Ser-
pent Volant. In the residential sec-
tions one sees mainly high, bare walls:

{the French consider Americans fool-

hardy to leave their houses exposed to
the street.

There are many stores, little dim
ones and modern-looking chain stores,
but most of the buying and selling is
done at the markets which are set up
in empty squares on certain days.
Each vendor has a little booth under
an oilcloth awning and yells at tha
passer-by. Fish, sea-food, meat, deli-
catessens, vegetables, fruit, cheese,
cake, flowers, shoes, hats, dresses,
laces, material, thread, buttons, books,
pictures, crockery, glassware, copper-
ware—everything one can think of is
jostled together for the convenience of
the French housewife. The stores that
tempt Delaware -groupers most, how-
ever, are the pdtisseries. Dinner is at
12.30 and supper at 7.30, which leaves
a long afternoon in which to get hun-
gry. There are more pdtisseries than
any other kind of store, and all spe-
cialize in delicious little tarts unlike
any American kind. Fortunately the
French scales are on a different sys-
tem from ours.

The first week of our stay we were
received officially at the Hétel/de Ville.
From the outside, the Hotel de Ville
is a, pleasant but not extraordinary-
looking building. As soon as we walked
in the door, however, we were awed
by the vast walls of gleaming white
marble. Sunday-school fashion, we
walked up a palatial staircase, staring
at the names of thé Tours war dead
cut in relief on the walls. Upstairs.
the rooms were still vast and high
ceilinged, but no longer-~so_ stony.
Everything was sumptuously fur-
nished—minutely painted ceilings,
heavy draperies at the windows, por-
traits of famous men in ornate gilt
frames, allegorical murals, rugs. In
the room where marriages are per-y
formed there hang two fyll-length
nudes, quite a French touch, we
thought. After we had been properly
impressed we were taken to the last
roont of all, where a horseshoe table
had been prepared’ with cookies and
Vouvray wine.
white wrapping paper, but garnished
with ferns and stemless, zinnias. There
we toasted the city ot four in cham-
pagne-glasses of golden Vouvray.

CURRENT EVENTS

(Gleaned from Mr. Fenwick.)

Landon and Hoover have been com-
peting to determine whd shall lead
the Republican Party. As the candi-
date for presidency in the last elec-
tion, Mr. Landon is rightfully the
titula? leader, but Mr. Hoover claims
that he should have more’ Republican
backing since he polled twice as many
states than Landon.

Consequently, Hoover has proposed
calling a National Republican Con-
vention now to plan for the 1938
Congressional elections. In this way
he hopes the party can gain strength
for 1940. Mr. Landon, however,
fears that this is ‘an. attempt to un-
seat him as leader.

Theater Review





French Without Tears, by Terence
Rattigan, is not entirely inconsequen-.
tial, though it is easy enough not to
look below its cheerful surface.
sonally, we chose the crooked and wide
path, as opposed to the straight -and
narrow, and laughed indiscreetly, fall-
ing into the aisle on our right when
control was conspicuously absent.

‘The action really centers around
Diana, a rather appealing, shameless
hussy, who claims the affections, at
least, of most of the masculine mem-
bers of the cast at one time or an-
other, though they are all capable of
summing up her character by a short,
well-chosen word when she is out. of
sight. Then there is her rival Jaquel-
line, who

cause she is French, and because
she.is pure and intelligent, - tlie de-
servi kind who determines the
coursé of drama by being rewarded
or by dying ofs broken heart. i Para-
doxically enough, the New York
Jaquelline played Diana in the Paris
production. Tiens, tiens.

We reserved our special enthusiasm
for Marcel Vallée as M. Maingot, at-
tractively French enough with his be-
ret, but irresistible in Scotch kilts.
Kit (Jaquelline’s beloved) fishing for
cigarettes in the nether regions of a
voluminous Greek skirt, had much the
same effect. Of course, the best and
most unpremeditated. touch is at the
end, when Lord ‘Heybrook finally puts
in an appearance as—but it is too
good to give away. Picture Diana in
the offing, having just girded herself
in a bathing suit for the conquest; she
looks strangely like a four-footed jun-
gle creature) robbed of its prey.

If you liked Frank Lawton in Da-
vid Copperfield, you will think him

istic would-be-writer hero, who suc-
cessfully resists the siren’s charms.
There are one or two breath-holding
moments, though, when one wonders
how idealism can ever triumph. If
idealism does not, the restraining pres-
ence of Someone Else, the broad-A’d
commander, namely, does, and the end
is happy and moral, as it should be.
French Without Tears might-be de-
seribed in French as sympathique, at
least it is our idea of what that
word means. In English, it is close
enough-to our experience to produce
that warm-hearted feeling known as
sympathy... And besides, it is very
funny. M. R. M.

France has also served a notice of
her own this week. German papers
have recently been accusing Czecho-

‘Miss seks Buys Important
Volumes in Paris to Swell
Collection Here





SPANISH DATA ON VIEW

- drieux,



The collection of Eighteenth Cen-
tury French books in the New Book
Room were bought by Miss Schenck
while she was in Paris last spring in
an effort to fill in (fe gaps in the col-
lection of Eighteenth Century French
Drama. For the most part, the books
represent work of dramatists who
have since been almost forgotten, but
who were extraordinarily influential
in effecting the change between the
Classic drama of the Seventeenth Cen-
tury and the Romantic drama of the
Nineteenth Century. Among the im-
portant sets are: The works of An-.
six volumes, Paris, 1772;
Theatre by Baron, three volumes,
Paris, 1759; the works of Palissot,
1772. Also of importance are the two
volumes of Cailhava, De l’Art Com-
edie, Paris, 1759, and .the~ collection
called Le Theatre Anglais, 1744. °

Added to the books acquired this
year is the 20 volume set of Letour-
neur’s translation of Shakespeare,
Paris, 1776, and it is probably in this
set, as Miss Schenck suggested, that
students outside the French Depart-
ment will be most interested.

There is one Seventeenth Century
volume given ‘by Mademoiselle Mar-

celle Parde, former member of the |"

Bryn Mawr French Department and
now Directrice of the Lycée de Jeunes
Filles at Dijon.

regarded by Mademoiselle Parde as a
valuable book for a course in Seven-
teenth Century literature.

The bindings of all the books are
worth examining for their Eighteenth
Century style.

Spanish, has also put on exhibition

this birth of a nation seem to have
come from the official source, and
then Mr. Miller déssued it to the press
of the world .from Washington, its
actual birthplace. -At the moment
when the declaration was given to
President Wilson, Masaryk hung the
Czechoslovak flag over the door of
his little house in Washington. No
living person had:ever seen it hung.
Mr. Miller was entering at the mo-
ment, and was the first to salute it.
It had not. been flown for 298 vears.
The very name of this new nation was



contemporary -books and pamphlets
on the Spanish War. Some are defi-
nitely propagandist, yet there are
others, issued.by a non-partisan’ group
of intellectuals in Valencia and
Barcelona, which give non-committal
accounts of contemporary Spain, some
written in English, some in Spanish.
Also on the shelves of the New
Book Room is a collection of books on
China, which give not only the cul-
tural and‘ economic developfnent of
that country, but also accounts of
foreign relations at the present time.
Among the more pertinent titles are
The Sino-Japanese Controversy - and
the League of Nations by Westel W.
Willoughby and General Chiang Kai-
shek, written by himself and his wife.



created too, Czechoslovakia, without a
hyphen. The two were to be merged
in an indissoluble one.

President Wilson was delaying a
reply to a communication from the
Empire of Austria-Hungary until the
Czechoslovak Declaration was issued,
and he based his reply in part.on the
positions taken in the Declaration.
The result was that almost -immedi-
ately Austria-Hungary withdrew eae
the war.

In Philadelphia,- John Wicaiiaater
was so moved by the meeting in In-
dependénce Hall, of the 12 nationali-
ties making up the” Little Entente,
that he asked to be allowed to con-
tribute the chairs in which the dele-
gates» were seated. One of these
chairs will be on the platform at
Goodhart Hall on Wednesday night.
Others were giyen“to the delegates
who sat in them, excepts one, which
was given tow Mr. Wanamaker. An
original copy of the Declaration
adopted in Independence . Hall,’ and
signed by all the delegates ‘is de-
posited there.

Mr. Miller, has written four books,
many articles; and faced many au-
diences in his effort to interpret the
objectives which were symbolized in
the life and activities of President
Masaryk. One result of his activities
was the program: of publicity con-
cerning the national aspirations of
the Czechs, news
dropped behind the lines. This
definitely accelerated the break down
of the armies of the Central Powers.

Time in Three Guises -

During This Period

Continued from Page One



ever, the synthesis giving us Father
Time did not evolve without many
vicissitudes.

The classic Saturn was dignified
and strong, but gloomy. In the early
Middle Ages, he was pictured with a
sickle-or a scythe. Later, when rep-
resentations of Saturn were to be
found only’ in mythological and as-
tronomical texts, Saturn became the
patron of melancholy and fearful
genius. He became associated’ with
death. He developed from a fantas-
tic toa terrifying and repulsive char-
acter. In a more or less classicized
form his devouring of his children and
his castration—phases -never -por-
trayed in classical times—continued
into’ High Renaissance and Baroque
art. : Meee

Such was the state of affairs when
artists began to illustrate Petrarch’s
T'viumphs, which required that Time
be shown as a relentless and terri-
fying power, conquering. all but
eternity. For this purpose, illustra-
tors combined the contemporary schol-
astic representation of Temps as an
abstract entity with the meédiaeval
idea of Saturn.

This, then, is the origin of Father
Time as we know hint—half classical,
half mediaeval, half western, half
oriental, “illustrating both the ab-

stract grandeur of the philosophical -

principle, and the malignant voracity
of the destructive demon.” This rich
complexity of character accounts for
the frequent appearance and varied
significance of Father Time in Renais-
sance and Baroque art.

He appears in three important
guises during this period: as Time the
Destroyer, as Time the Revealer, and
as a “universal and inexorable power
which, through a cycle of procreation
and destruction, causes what may be
called a cosmic continuity.”

The development of the figure of
Father Time is instructive in two re-
spects. It evidences the intrusion of
mediaeval features into an image
which ~at first sight seems purely
classical. The figure also. illustrates

tle intrinsic connection between mere ‘

“iéonography” and the interpretation
of. the significance of essential mean-
ings.
