Dorothy Maynor
Sings With Fine

Control of Voice

Technical Ability, Strength |

Demonstrated Through
Program



By Anne Denny, 43

Goodhart Hall, February 16.—A
small, but appreciative audience
heard Dorothy Maynor’s concert on
Monday night. The extent of the
program provided many opportuni-
ties for this talented artist. Miss
Maynor’s technical ability was

demonstrated at the beginning in!

the songs by Handel where she
showed remarkable control. Her
full, strong voice was _ perfectly
tuned to the soft notes of ‘‘O Sleep,
Dost Thou Leave Me.”

But the expressive quality of her
voice was not really brought out
until she sang Franck’s ‘Oh Lord
Most Holy.” ‘Here the violin and
the voice do not blend but the high
violin part and the low voice part
complimented each other in an;

Mrs.Cameron Outlines
4 Factors Affecting
Peace of Versailles



Common Room, February 17.—
Four important factors were in-
strumental in determining the ¢char-
acter of the Versailles Treaty, Mrs.
Cameron said in the second lecture
of the course in Post-War Recon-
struction. Two of these principles
—Wilson’s 14 Points and the Pre-
Armistice Contract, were sabotaged
by the other two factors—the secret
treaties and the House Gloss of
the 14 Points.

The famous 14 Points were an-
nounced eleven months before the
Armistice and were accepted by
Germany in the Pre-Armistice Con-
tract as a basis for peace. The
Pre-Armistice Contract reached
twith the Reichstag government of
Prince Max of Baden assumed a
peace of justice along the lines of
the 14 Points, Mrs. Cameron said.
The Allies, however, agreed to Wil-
son’s program only reluctantly and

with reservations.

The “Ave Maria,” though perhaps
a little less inspiring, again gave
evidence of excellent control.
“Widmung” by Schumann pleas-
ed the audience more by its own
melodic beauty than by the expres-
sion of the singer, but Miss May-
nor’s voice showed dramatic quality
in the German lieder as well as in

the French songs. The program fol- |.

lowed the course of the develop-
ment of the song in the history of
music with a few exceptions. In
general, the singer showed more
talent in the- romantic and dramatic
types of songs. The French songs
“Adieu de lVhostesse arabe,” by
‘ Bizet, and “Depuis le jour” from
the opera “Louise,” were done in
good taste and with more ease than
were the more serious parts of the
program. Miss Maynor seemed to
interpret the mood of the French
sentiment more easily than that of
the lieder.
The modern songs were the least
striking of the program although

Modernistic Art Treasures of Argyrol King



By Barbara Cooley, ’42
“The Barnes Foundation is not
a public gallery. It is an edu-
cational institution with a_ pro-
gram for systematic work, organ-

ized into classes which are™~ held
every day, and conducted by a staff
of experienced teachers.

“Admission to the gallery is re-
stricted to students enrolled in the
classes.”

In Philadelphia and in art cir-
cles all over the country the
Barnes collection is notoriously the
most inaccessible gallery in the
world. Large iron gates bar this
Merion estate from all intruders.
To get accepted as a member of
one of the courses you must submit
to an investigation of FBI thor-
oughness climaxed by a probing in-
terview. Few reporters, art crit-
ics, college students or professors
have ever-seen the collection. No
one has ever dashed in uninvited.
No one from Bryn Mawr has ever
been invited.

Three-College Professors Have Established __
New Retail Co-Operative on Lancaster Pike



By Barbara Huit eX

The co-operative fs the
Main Line in Bryn Mawr has Mr.
Helson, of the college Psychology
department, as its president. He
succeeded Mr. Michels, of the
Physics department. A group of
professors at Haverford, Swarth-
more, and Bryn Mawr, under the
leadership of Mr..and Mrs. Stiers,
of the Haverford faculty, were in-
terested mainly in the philosophy
and economics of the co-operative
movement, and finally established
a working example. The first co-op
was started in Swarthmore. It
proved a success. Thus encour-
aged, the founder launched another
in Bryn Mawr in March, 1939, with
goods stored in a garage and de-
livery service only. Membership
grew by leaps and bounds, and last
December headquarters were moved
to 778 Lancaster Avenue, just
across from the railroad station.

It now has a membership of 364,
with an average of one new mem-
ber each day. There is delivery
service to customers from Wayne
to Overbrook and even into Phila-
delphia. The Bryn Mawr Co-op

specializes in groceries and ‘meats,
although there are some toiletries
and cosmetics. Many co-ops include
garage service, auto supplies, and
the like. This co-op will grow, said
Mr. Helson, only as it is financially
able to expand. Prospects are good
and more than $150,000 worth of
business is carried on each year.

Five per cent interest is paid on
money invested. This is a high
rate, since co-ops often pay as low
as 2 per cent. Receipts of pur-
chases are kept and a “patronage
refund” is returned in proportion
to each one’s purchases over a
given period.

The important thing about a co-
operative is that the customers
themselves*own it. Each buys one
or more. shares at $5 apiece, and
each shareholder, no matter’ how
much he has invested, has only one
vote. Customers may criticize the
service, prices, or policy, and can
be sure that something will be
done about it. One of the big
advantages of a co-op is that the
grade of every product is clearly

designated, and there is no doubt.

dollars, but still embryonic, collec-

going to build a 500,000 dollar mu-
seum to house the paintings in
Merion, Pennsylvania, which would
become public property. When the
public was finally admitted, the
furor of criticism began. Art
critics all over the country jubi-

had been duped into buying the
worst conceivable collection of
trash. Among the loudest voices

Improvements Offset
Damage in Pembroke



Repairs for the Pembroke fire
have led to several improvements.
The damages were mostly due to
the water, and the cost, somewhat
under ten thousand dollars, was
fully covered by the insurance.

As a part of the process of re-
conditioning the kitchen, the roof
has been insulated both for protec-
tion and coolness. A partition with
many windows has been introduced
into the kitchen itself, forming an
extra room which will be used as a

Price Control Vital
As Inflation Check
Says Dr. Clair Wilcox

Advocates Selective System,
Taxing to Absorb Surplus
Buying Power



Roberts Hall, February 11.—
Price control is the only measure
to restrain rising prices in this
time of war, said Clair Wilcox, in
his lecture, Can We Check Inflation
by Controlling Prices? But price
control mechanisms should not be
used as a method of achieving
other economic or social reform.

If prices were left to take their
natural course, rising prices would
not apportion goods fairly among
all income groups. As for the
theory that production would be
stimulated should prices be un-
controlled, Dr. Wilcox said that
rising prices would not increase
production in proportion to the
price increase.

Mr. Baruch advocates an overall
ceiling on prices, freezing all
prices, rents, and wages on a given
date. He argues that since prices
are interrelated, it would be unjust

to control the finished product with-
‘out controlling costs.

This Evolution of Freshman Show Animals
Beats Darwin; From Griffin to Amoeba



By Anne Denny, 43

Freshmen go through amazing
hazards to keep their animals a
secret—but “did, you hear, about
the amoeba that got drunk?’’—not
that it indulges in stimulating bev-
erages, but it was on the stage—in
a glass of water and somebody was
awfully thirsty . . .. Thus, the mi-
croscopic tendency of freshman an-
imals was nipped in the bud. In
the old days extinct species, prod-
ucts of the imagination, appeared
in a slightly over-stuffed.form, but
now we have real animals, like
Western. Union boys.

Long ago, Freshman shows were
far from our present idea of glam-
our. Broadway influences were
somewhat curbed by the fashion-
able hips of those days. After a
few Ziegfeldian attempts the trend
shifted toward a rather naive fan-
tasy type. The class of ’nineteen
was frowned upon for its jazzy
show with the song, “I didn’t raise
my girl to be a chicken.” The re-
action to. this. show forced: the next
few classes into allegorical refer-
ences to the campus, appearing in’
the middle of the Egyptian deser'
or Alice’s Wonderland.

Fashion in fantasy has
changed from ’23’s greet griffin to
last year’s mixture of Walt Disney
and the lobster. Biology is an in-
evitable source of material, and
constantly reappears in various

finiteiy

—— -



forms. The biological tendency
reached its climax when ’29 gave
The Dog-fish Receives, but the

drunken ,amoeba ought. to discour-
age the” idea in the freshmen’s
choice of animal for the future.

The—“changing” legs” of Bryn
Mawr are a most interesting phe-
nomena. In the early days, when
the Freshman Show was still a
short skit presented in return to
the sophomore play, the legs were
pretty well covered. As skirts be-
came shorter, leg action played a
larger part in the Shows until in
’28’s show, the big hit was a dance
involving “a kind of circular col-
lapse of the knees.”

In the beginning, the freshman
Show was held in the Bym. Added
attractions were student and pro- |
fessional orchestras and food serv-
ed between the acts. When Good-
hart was first used by the class of
’32, these tricks were replaced by
more elaborate: staging. Coinci-
dently, 1932’s show was the first to
be thoroughly’ “panned” ‘by the
} News for having a little too much
Villanova, and not aa coher-
ence.

Nowadays, the shows rely on bi-
ology, personalities, and Haver-
ford. The departure from this for-
mula in the direction of The Land
of Oz or crusading knights have
only resulted in an audience “as-
leep and better to be that way.”

What’s in a Name?

There has been much antagonism and rumor occasioned by the
“Thing.” The word “Thing” has certainly had much to do with
the mystery and wonder which has surrounded it. The Glee Club
calls it the “Idea” and with justification asks, “What’s the idea
behind the ‘Idea?’” To the Players’ Club it is the “Project.” All
of which is confusing. But it must be called something, and
what’s in a name?

The Thing was originally conceived as a dramatic project
which would mark the last year of Miss Park’s administration. a
was conceived, not as a substitute for May Day, but rather as
something which would coordinate the heavy schedule of scattered
and overlapping productions which last spring crushed beneath it
the exhausted dancers who danced through two productions of
tremendous proportions, the.stage crew which wearily washed
houses into castles into walls, actors, and sated audiences. It was|

nous reworking of old ideas; that it was a year in which to cater
to the increased need for creative relaxing work which would
offset the discipline of academic and defense courses.

The most appropriate subject for these purposes seemed to
be a history of the college. In it would be opportunity for danc-

This brought forth a storm of
rage from conservative Merion but

the building permits’ were not re-|

voked. Dr. Barnes then announced
his devision to give the collection
to the Metropolitan and move to
New York. “I shall be a humble
and unworthy follower of great
people like Stokowski, Mary Cas-
satt, Abbey, Sloan, Glackens and
many others who. leave’ Philadel-
phia to get a breath of fresh air
and never come back.” The small
houses were built; Barnes remain-
ed.

The affair of the ‘‘Ballyhoo at
the Philadelphia Museum” did not
help to soften hard feelings on
both sides. In November, 1936 the
Museum bought Cezanne’s Bathers
for 100,000 dollars claiming in the
papers that the Bathers owned by
Mr. Barnes was a copy of theirs.
Barnes retaliated by pointing out
that any textbook could tell them
theirs was painted eight years af-

only a fifth rate copy, besides he
added that it had been offered to
him at 50,000 dollars.

income from securities, by the inability of two or three students to

pay their bills, by the withdrawal of several students, or by an!

unanticipated breakdown in equipment, such as that of the power
house cable replaced this fall. A rise in prices is another cause
for the elimination of part or all of the surplus. :

Prices, according to Miss Howe, have not yet risen high
enough to be a serious,danger. It is, of course, harder going at
present to provide food, particularly, at the higher price. Sugar,
even the percentage of last year’s supply allotted to the college, is
sometimes impossible to get.

In consideration of these factors, said Miss Park, it is pos-
sible that the college will end the year with a deficit, probably a
small one. It is, of course, impossible to make any accurate esti-
mate this early. In the meantime, the budget for the coming year
must be made. Based on the budgets of the preceding five years

with estimates of contemplated changes in income and expenditure, |

it is provisionally presented to the board of directors in March.
The various items are gone over by specific committees of the
board, and the final budget is passed in May.

Of course, said Miss Howe, we never have enough books, we
never have enough slides, we never have enough professors.
Economy in living expenditure should always be practiced in order
to increase the amounts devoted to these items.
today, however, is a peculiar one. It is generally conceded that
education shall not be cut down, although in specific instances, such,
as those of blue books, blotters, and lab supplies, it has become

The situation |

'when this aid must be given.

While the author’s analysis of
European aspects of the war is
both shrewd .and brilliant, M.
Chéradame’s outline of German am-
bitions in the Americas, how close
they are to being realized, is more
particularly interesting to us. The
chapters devoted to German pene-
tration give an amazing picture of
Nazi efficiency which is, to say the
least, ominous. Chéradame’s charts
show the alarming proportions of
German influence in South Amer-
ica, and, in the United States, the
great danger from saboteurs and
propagandists, both seeking to
further the “invisible war.”

M. Chéradame looks to America
alone for the eventual defeat of the
Pan-German plan. The latter third
of his book offers his ideas as to
the quickest and least costly means
for insuring the permanent safety
of the New World. Even though

‘thought-compelling. The building

Cleaning the rugs in the library and the halls costs $400.00 a year.
The launderiig and replacing of sheets and pillow cases is an
annual expenditure of $1600.00.

The most obvious cuts in these expenditures would be those in
coal for grates, wood for the library, paper cups and towels. These
might be eliminated without serious hardship to students. There
is bound to be inconvenience in any case. “Why, you'll be incon-

venienced everywhere anyway,” said Mr. Hurst. “You'll go down.,

tothe station to get a train and it won’t-be there.” “But whether
the inconveniences of a cut in college living expenses would still
be palatable by February, he added, is a question. Other cuts such
as that in sheets and pillow cases could be eliminated, but would,
only involve a transfer of expense from college to student. As to
cafeteria lunches, these are impracticable at present on three counts.
(1) Only in the larger halls is there room for both serving tables
and eating tables both. (2) In order to-provide hot food, special
and expensive equipment would have to be bought. (3) This
equipment can no longer be acquired for non-defense industries.

Hudson Reports on
Pacific Settlement
Of World Disputes

Although the goal of Pacific Set-
tlement of International Disputes
is to safeguard world peace, it is a
paradox that world war broke out,
just when methods and organiza-
tion of settlements had reached a
point in their development un-
dreamed of fifty years ago, de-
clared Manley O. Hudson in the
second Shaw lecture,

Discussing the historical growth
of the methods of pacific settlement
of international conflicts, Mr. Hud-
son noted six types of agencies.
These are, good offices and media-
tion by a third state, which must
always be asked for and must never
be construed as an unfriendly act,
Commissions of Inquiry for the
elucidation of facts, which were
first instituted at the first Hague
Conference, conciliation by one or
more states, and compulsory arbi-
tration or adjudication, which gen-
erally is agreed to before the con-
flict arises.

The Hague Conference of 1909
established the Permanent Court
of Arbitration which, Mr. Hudson
declared, was a dead letter from
its inception. Far more efficacious
was the Permanent Court of In-
ternational Justice, which, set up
in 1921, settled many international
disputes of a legal nature during

B. M. Owls Conquer
Drexel Varsity With
13 Baskets to Spare



Gymnasium, February 12.—Bryn
Mawr’s spirited Varsity overcame
the Drexel first team in a fast-mov-
ing basketball game, the second of |
the season. The bulk of Bryn
Mawr’s scoring was executed in
the first half, when the team scored
thirty-two points to Drexel’s six.

The Drexel team offered inter-
esting competition; its passing was
daring, and quite frequently in-
tercepted. At times their players
showed skill in executing formation
plays. Miss Castleman was nota-
ble for her intrepid offense, and the
whole team was quick to make the
most of scoring opportunities.

Bryn Mawr’s play was more
careful than last week’s and more
even throughout the game. The
Owls. were coordinated and showed
better timing. With a good. de-
fense and intelligent passing they |
showed their true ability in this
game.

Chris Waples was outstanding
for her two baskets made from
almost center court, and Janet
Meyer’s always capable shooting
was another factor contributing to
the Owls’ success.

The two second teams engaged
each other in another exciting
game, which Bryn Mawr won 54-
21. The Bryn Mawr team was
never behind, and Lois Mason ex-
celled in covering the court and

making fast offensive plays.

stated, give lip service to, but re-

In conclusion, Mr. Hudson de-
clared that legal and political work
were important but not final. “We
must turn our minds, but admit-
ting our success, to other means of
preventing war.”

F orty “Va leitline Camp ; at ‘Dix fae Evening;

Army Greets College Girls with Open Arms



By Barbara Hull, ’44, and
Jessie Stone, °44

The Navy, Marines, and Pallas
Athténe got our cheers in a desper-
ate effort to cultivate seductive
tones in our voices for “our boys”
at Fort Dix. This was all on the
bus. We rolled into what we
thought was the camp, but it went
on—on through curtainless bar-
racks, busy barber shops’ and noisy
tap rooms, on until—

“There are only four men!”

*‘Let’s go back.”

“The Drexel girls got here be-
fore us.”

Did you know that soldiers have
a life history? Erratum. They
were not all college men. Some of
us didn’t find any. Furthermore,
did you know that whether or not
they liked army life, they “couldn’t
do anything about it?” Morale in-
dication number one. Skip it. Let’s
dance.

Regardless of~confused impres-
sions, we forty were. morale-
minded. To arrive at any well-
founded conclusions as to our. suc-
cess, it was essential that we know
a.) What was the morale. before
we got there? and b.) What was
i when we left? Gallup wasn’t
there to take a poll. We did find
out that we’re nicer than the Tren-
ton girls, even though four of us



had to resort to bridge. We were
also informed that B. M. is the
“locale for spoiled brats.” One
was impressed with “Alyce from
Pahk Avenoo.” “Oh, Bryn Mawr
is like Barnard, isn’t it? I’ve
heard of it,” said another.

Conclusive reversal of opinion:
There isn’t “something about a
soldier,” except if it be that he
wears a perpetual smile. Also,
what’s this we’ve been hearing
about physical exams?

There were plenty of excuse-me-
pleases-I’ll-be-back-in-a-minutes on
the part of the uniforms, but we
worked it this way: Approaching
the nearest Mawrtyr, we blurted,
“T’d-like-you-to-meet - Miss - Blank-
Blank-excuse-me-please.”

The entertainment,. consisting of
vocalizing by Jack Leonard; an ac-
ademic dissertation on the science
of laughs—with demonstrations—
was amusing. The hostesses had
a wonderful time. ;

There were some promising re-
percussions: three proposals, plenty
of propositions, bulging mails, a
*phone call or two, and even a few
personal appearances. But we’re
altruistic. Let forty different girls
go next time.

The spirituals, coming before the
modern songs, broke the continuity

cannot be considered on the same
artistic grounds as the rest of the

audience silent after singing un-‘

supposedly would be easier to ad-
minister than selective price con-
trol. But actually, Dr. Wilcox
pointed out, the administrative
problem would be overwhelming
since what “price’’involves is not
really determinable. Also free
price movements want to be re-
tained where possible.

A selective plan would control
prices where they were rising rap-
idly without performing the func-
tion of increasing production, Con-

‘are not easily subject to regulation.

Price fixing would cover three
areas; prices paid by the govern-
ment, by businessmen, and by-con-
sumers. The system of rationing;
our own Hives, will have
to be policed. The job of equating
rations and supplies must be ef-
fected, and individual problems are
still to be solved.

“Price control does not change
the fundamental aspect of ex-
panded income and less supply,”
said Mr. Wilcox. “Voluntary and
forced saving,..and taxation must
absorb the surplus spending pow-
er,” he said, in order that inflation
may be mitigated.

“Peace of Versailles



Continued from Page One

Many of the secret commitments
‘made by the Allies during the war
were directly at variance with the
14 Points, Mrs. Cameron pointed
out. By 1918 treaties had been ar-
iranged between the Allies, Ru-
imania and Italy.

The House Gloss, holding an im-
portant place in the discussions,
i\was simply a whittling down of
Wilson’s principles to make some
bitter pills acceptable to the Allies,
|\Mrs. Cameron maintained. Clauses
on secret diplomacy, free trade,
and impartial adjustment of Col-
‘onial claims were all interpreted
la as to be substantially changed
in their essential meaning.

The Versailles Treaty was a dic-
tated peace, formulated in_ re-
stricted sessions, Mrs. Cameron
emphasized. Only six plenary ses-
sions were held during the entire
peace conference and these simply
| Tegistered the decisions of the
‘closed meetings of the Council of
"Ten and the Council of Four. When
|the treaty was presented to Ger-
many, the German delegates drew





up a memorandum criticizing the
peace as a violation of the Pre-
Armistice “Contract and making
specific: objections to reparations,
disarmament and exclusion from
the League.

After her lecture, Mrs. Cameron

led a general discussion on the|@

question of the advisability of for-

mulating war aims and the possi-| ¢

bility of educating public opinion
up to these aims. Questions were
also raised as to the League’s fail-
