Emily Kimbrough
Tells Experiences
Of Hollywood Trip

Limitations of Movie World
Discovered by Kimbrough
3 And Skinner

Goodhart, April 14. Miss Emily
Kimbrough, noted author and pub-
licist, presented a lecture on her
adventures and discoveries in her
recent trip to Hollywood to aid in
the production of Our Hearts Were
Young and Gay. On the advice of
her publishers, Dodd, Mead, Miss
Kimbrough made “subtle but fre-
quent reference” to her recent
book We Followed Our Hearts to
Hollywood, from which many of
her anecdotes were drawn.



Miss Kimbrough found the foi-|

bles of Hollywood excitements
manifold and various. The whole
adventure began, she explained, in
Cornelia Otis Skinner’s office in
New York, where Cornelia, Corne-
lia’s husband, and Miss Kimbrough
were expecting a telephone call
from Hollywood. The call finally
came through, and Hollywood ask-
the two authors to “follow our
hearts” to the center of the mo-
tion picture world, to assist in the
filming of Our Hearts Were Young
and Gay.

Miss Kimbrough’s instant reac-
tion was “yes.” Miss Skinner si-
multaneously said “no.”

“Why not?’ said Emily. “Don’t
you think it would be a wonderful
experience?”

“Yes,” said Cornelia darkly, “I
do. (‘But things always happen to
you.” Miss Kimbrough argued
firmly that they were too old to
have things happen to them, and
under pressure Miss Skinner gave
in.

When the adventure was well
under way, Miss Skinner proposed
a startling thought. “Have you
any idea how to write a treatment
or scenario?” she said. “Why, no,”
replied Emily. “Don’t you know?
You’ve been in the theatre for
some time.” Cornelia drew herself
up and said, “Never confuse the
theatre with the motion picture
world.”

They dfoynd, upon arrival, that
Miss Skinner’s warning was well

Spanish Club Invites
Galician, Sra. Novoa,

To Give Songs, Dance



Sofia Novoa, refugee from Spain
and folk music ‘expert, has been
invited by the Spanish Club to
‘sing Spanish songs and to teach
folk songs and dances in the Com-
'mon Room on Thursday, April 20,
| at 4.30 P.M.

Well-known in Madrid as a
pianist ‘before the war, Miss No-
voa, a native of Galicia in the
north of Spain, has been interest-
ed in folk music all her life. In
this country she is teaching folk
music and dancing at Vassar, and
at Middlebury in the summer.

In Spain, Miss Novoa was a Di-
rector of Residence for women
students at the International In-
stitute of Educations. This Insti-
tute, now taken over by Franco,
was the first of its kind in Spain.







Pseudo-Charley’s Aunt Plays “Mairzy Doats”
In 1890 Scene in B. M.-Haverford Production



by Darst Hyatt, ’47

“You don’t know me—I’m no or-
dinary woman!” warns Lord Fan-
court “Babs” Babberley who, plus
a fan and a falsetto, impersonates
Charley’s aunt, Donna_ Lucia
d’Alvadores “from Brazil where
the nuts come from.” Played by
Charles Ryrie, °46, the pseudo-
Donna Lucia is the cause of spicy
and hilarious situations in Bran-
don Thomas’s comedy, Charley’s
Aunt, which will be given on April
21st and 22nd at Haverford Col-
lege by the Cap and Bells Club,
assisted by the Varsity Players.

“Look at me, I’m a disgrace to
my sex”, mourns poor Babs whose
trials include being kissed by af-
fectionate young girls and propos-
ed to by mercenary old gentle-
men. Faced with pouring tea, he
calmly pours into the hat of one
of his suitors and _ proceeds to
stir. Realizing his mistake, he
pours the téa back again with
equal calmness.

“What devils we women are!” pos-
ing as one of the fair sex begins
to tell on poor Babs. He_ seeks
consolation in a cigar. Blissfully
he sucks in a deep breath of smoke,
only to be interrupted by the real
Donna Lucia (Katharine Colvin,
’46), who turns up incognito at the
crucial moment and casually res-
cues four separate love affairs.

The scene is laid at’ Oxford in
1890, and charming Victorian cos-
tumes are.being made. The pro-
duction is guilty, however, of a
couple of anachronisms. The fake
Donna Lucia, when seated at the
piano, offers either Beethoven or
Boogie-woogie, and at another mo-
ment asks one of the girls’to sing
“that charming little ballad
‘Mairzy Doats.’”

Great difficulties face the stage
crew: the three acts each require
a change of scenery. Estelle Mor-
rison, ’45, assisted by Marce Gross,
47, and Jean. Kelley, ’47, is re-
sponsible for some very handsome-

In spite of the gleeful remark,





Alumnae Contribute
Rare First Editions,
Ancient Manuscripts



The exhibit which is now’ on
display in the Rare Book Room
includes both rare first editions of
the seventeenth century, and man-
uscripts of high value dating as
far back as the ninth century, all
contributed to the college by alum-
nae and their relatives during the
year 1943.

Outstanding in this exhibition
are the Latin and Greek manu-
scripts. The “Tractus Varii,” six
Latin manuscripts of the twelfth
and thirteenth centuries, are the
gift of Mrs. John Dozier Gordan
(Phyllis Walter Goodhart, ’35).
Made on vellum, the manuscripts
are panelled in blue morocco with
the Arms of the fourth Duke of
Newcastle on the upper cover. A
collection of forty-one fragments
from fifteen ‘Greek manuscripts in
two volumes, dating from the
ninth to the fourteenth centuries,
are the gift of Mr. Howard Leh-
man Goodhart, whose wife and
daughter are both Bryn Mawr
alumnae.

Another Gift

Another gift of Mr. (Goodhart is
the early fifteenth century Phil-
lips manuscript, ‘“Eusebii et Auor-
um Epistolae” of Vita Sancti Mar-
tini, -with illuminated initials and
original boards that were covered
in the early nineteenth century
with red velvet. This codex jbe-
longed at one time to the Rever-
end Henry Drury, who was Lord
Byron’s master at Harrow. On the
fly-leaf is a note in Drury’s hand:
“I consider this a very curious
monkish volume. 1823.”.

Also on exhibition is an early
sixteenth céntury manuscript of
Pierre Mesenge de Rouen, “Sainct
voyage pour visiter le Sainct Sep-
ulere ...”. This work, on Gothic-
tooled vellum binding, is included
in this showing because it was the
first manuscript of the group ac-
quired by the library. It was. giv-
en in March, 1942.

Among the books being shown,
the edition of Shakespeare, pre-
sented by ‘Mrs. Alba Boardman

Indian Society, Religion and Thought
Form Subjects of Yahkub Lectures



Yahkub. Discusses Relation
Of Indian Philosophy 7
To Real Life

Goodhart, April 12. ‘No tribe
exists which has not had religion”,
said Mr. Thomas Yahkub in his
lecture, Landmarks of Indian’ Re-
ligion and Thought, the second in
a series of lectures on Indian Cul-
ture.

Tracing the principles involved
in the development of religion, Mr.
Yahkub said that it arose as man’s
natural response to his environ-
ment, the very necessity for self
preservation which he possessed
in common with animals. Through
his very dependence and insuffici-
ency, man develops a religion de-
termined by what he desires from
the “powers” and what he thinks
of them. The second great prin-
ciple is the desire of all men to

(Oppenheimer Shows
Place of Drugs, Food
And Bacteria in War

Dalton, April 18. “Successful
prosecution of the war involves
the development of both military
and civilian personnel, since sol-
diers and civilians are both physi-
ological machines,” stated Miss
Oppenheimer, in her discussion on

“Bugs, Butter, and the Blitz”
Tuesday evening.
Miss Oppenheimer, assistant

professor of Biology, treated the
nutritional maintenance of the or-
ganism as the “butter” part of her
discussion. “In order to handle

oblems of nutrition one must
know how foods are handled by
the organism, what foods are nec-
essary, and the chemical constitu-
ents of them,” Miss Oppenheimer
explained. Work carried on in ex-
perimental stations by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture has been very
beneficial in spreading information
concerning nutrition.

The “bugs” part of Miss Oppen-
heimer’s discussion dealt with
germs and microorganisms related
to them. Treatment for diseases

Yahkub Says Better Society
Purpose of Caste System
, In India



Goodhart, April 17. Delivering
the third of his lectures on Indian
culture, Mr. Yahkub discussed The
Web of Life in India. Declaring
that one half of the world is based
on foundations which India sup-
plied, Mr. Yahkub described the
social pattern in which Indian life
moves, and the -purpose of the
caste systém.

Indian society is based on “con-
stant intuition of the unity of life
and the recognition that it is the
greatest good.” To grasp the
meaning of life and to order it in
accordance with its fundamental
truths is the ideal of Indian phil-
osophy, considered by Mr. Yahkub
the greatest of India’s gifts to the
world.

Life Mr. Yahkub described as a
curve, whose outward contour is
characterized by the, temporal
quality of self-assertion, and the
PABMUL [BVUII}O OY} SB AAIND AOUUL
development. Because indians be-
lieve the soul is in the grip of
these two curves, they consider
self-assertion an inevitable. part
of life, not an evil, but a youthful
tendency.

Belief in Heredity

The Brahmin believes that even
the ideal society must provide op-
portunities for the fulfillment of
desire, Mr. Yahkub stated. They
believe that society should be rul-
ed by an intellectual and spiritual
aristocracy. Another of their be-
hefs-is-that—of- heredity, from
which is derived the caste system.
The art of craftsmanship is passed
from father to son, and each suc-
cessive generation continues’ the
duties of the caste into which it
is born.

The principal behind the caste
system, Mr. Yahkub said, is that
each man should perform a single
duty in society and not attempt to
perform the functions of others.
Indians believe that it is a natural
law that left to itself the ego as-
sumes its natural place, and social
ambition is to be eschewed.

“Pll Be Back When | Get Some Pants”, Ends

_ Mysterious Plot of

Gems, Gowns and Gals



by Nicole Pleven, ’47

Nobody was splashing scarlet
paint in-Goodhart tonight. Nobody
was swinging perilously from the
ladders. I heard no cries of splin-
ters and nails, although there was
something about not sitting on the
sacred sets of the Mikado. In fact,
the stage seemed relatively calm
until the famous Maids and Por-
ters cast of Gems, Gowns and Gals
started to sing the glories of fem-
inine beauty, preparatory to their
performance in Goodhart on Fri-
day night.

The Gals are courageously fac-
ing the man shortage which has
hit even the campus. Taylor’s
Pearl and Pembroke’s Minnie, it
seems, are partners in crime in a
setting of extravagantly-gowned
mannequins, while Ezra, a porter
in disguise, waves a fan with all
the grace of a New York matron
fussily choosing a dress for hér
daughter’s coming out party. But
watch for the _final “I’ll be back
when I get some pants.”



Combining elements of Sherlock
Holmes detectivery and disguise
upon disguise, with much of musi-
cal comedy thrown in, the story
decides whether the involved lov-
ers will live happily ever after. It
all appears to depend on what is
in the hem of a certain sapphire
dress—prize item of the design-
er’s collection, not to mention the
ingenuity of the disguised manne-
quin and her disguised customer.

Evenings gowns, the family jew-
els, wax figures, and no less than
“a cannon” serve to complicate
matters. and eventually foil the
villain.

Nicky, French House’s pride, is
both effective and a heroine. In
the musical line, Al from Denbigh
has fortunately recovered from a
sore throat to sing with Nicky a-
romantic duet. Louise, Dorothy
and’ Evelyn are keeping up the
standards of singing well-known
to all of. us since Christmas caroll-
ing, but. dancing and remodelling
are new featured attractions.

Curriculum Committee

The present status of the Curriculum Committee ap-
pears to the undergraduate body at large to be that of a neb-
ulous and rather secret organization. This impression, cre-
ated on the one hand by campus drowsiness and on the other
by the committee’s own disjointedness, is absolutely false.
The Curriculum Committee holds a unique position as the
only undergraduate academic committee in the college, and
its sole purpose is to represent and act upon campus opinion.

The Curriculum Committee meets to receive and con-
sider the criticisms and comments of the students on all mat-
ters pertaining to curriculum and rescheduling. It consults
with the faculty before submitting its decisions to Miss
Unless students who have constructive criticisms
and suggestions avail themselves of it, it forms merely an
impotent circle of individuals, assembling in haphazard
fashion and representing nothing.

ms Lack of Interest

Equally important to the future of campus representa-
tion in academic matters as student cooperation, is the re-
sponsibility and efficiency of the committee members them-
selves. For many years the committee, despite any individ-
ual’s effort, has been just so much dead wood. Few students
knew, cared, or even bothered to attend meetings to elect
members. This year, despite a genuine effort culminating ‘in
the Freshman English poll, only a few of its members at-
tended its meetings, and while it had faculty confidence,
many of its efforts were snowed under by ignorance. How

“out of touch it had grown with campus opinion-is*shown-by+-
the fact that the proposal for rescheduling the college year

developed independently of it, and has been only recently
submitted to it.

The present condition of the committee, however, is not
primarily the fault of its members. Being in the position of
negotiator between the faculty and students, it must proceed
with thought out deliberation, and adopt a wholly cooperative
attitude in order to accomplish anything. Unfortunately it
holds no regular meetings, has no joint meetings with the
faculty except by special arrangement, never publishes re-
ports, and receives no publicity.

Need for Student Opinion

What the Curriculum Committee requires is an organ-
ized student opinion, aware of the possibilities that the com-
mittee possesses. Next year the Curriculum Committee in-
tends to correct its maladjustments by holding monthly
meetings, planning sessions with the faculty, publishing re-
ports and giving advance notices of the subjects that it will
consider. The success or failure of this undertaking will de-
_ pend mainly on campus backing and understanding. Unless
thoughtful and constructive ideas are organized and express-

‘Lantern Editor Recommends
Discontinuing Publication *
During War





| To the Editors:

| The Lantern is grateful for the
/constructive suggestions presented
to us in last week’s issue of the
| News. At a meeting in the begin-
ning of the year we discussed the
ibility of requesting a, loan or
and de-

poss
subsidy from the college
cided against it since we felt that
there were many other and better
uses for that money at this rl
ular time. On the other hand, i

view of thé many difficulties we
have encountered this year, we do
not believe that there should be
another attempt to present the
Lantern in -mimeographed form,
which is the only form that the
Lantern will be able to afford un-
til advertising ‘rates return to
their pre-war level. My persohal
suggestion is that the Lantern be
discontinued for the duration.

I feel that a fresh beginning
would be of value. For the last
three years the Lantern has been
criticized for the publication of
only a certain type of story, yet
the members and also the attitude
of the board have changed drasti-



more the campus than the board
which has “typed” the Lantern.
Also the students who would
otherwise be doing creative writ-
ing have more immediate prob-
lems to face at this time—and
Bryn Mawr at best is not a highly
creative college. It is bad, in
theory, to relinquish even a publi
cation like the Lantern because of
the war. We all believe that cre-
ative writing should not be dis-
continued by those privileged to
earry on. Faced however with the
facts of a lack of interest, a lack
of material—based on more than
the apathy a good publicity cam-
paign could overcome—and _ also
the salient fact-of a lack of funds,
I think that this is the best solu-
tion and a practical one.

Nuts and Bolts |

The United Nations Conference
held at Bryn Mawr during the va-
cation has aroused editorial com-
ment in both the Haverford News
and the Rosemont College Ram-
bler.

The Rambler noted the incident|

of the withdrawal of the United
States’ delegate from the Political
‘Commission, in connection with
current congressional policy. The
fact that the delegate based - his
action on what he felt was official
government opinion, concluded
from discussions with leading sen-
ators and representatives during
a recent trip to Washington,’ is
significant, the Rambler feels.

Public Opinion

Current congressional © policy
lags far behind the views express-
ed by public opinion, and this was
evidenced by the fact that the
United States’ delegate offered the
only dissenting vote among 26 col-
leges to the proposal of a strong
international organization to which
national sovereignty rights are
partially subordinated.

Haverford News

The Haverford News feels that
the achievements of the conference
are a significant feature of ‘the
worldwide movement for the main-
tenance of peace by international
cooperation. “The next genera-
tion of leaders in this country will
be a \broadminded — generation,’

"said the Néws, and will be: a con-

tributing factor to the efforts to
insure peace. The demand for a

+ world court is evidence of the mod-

ern faith jn the efficacy of inter-
national institutions, and the cur-
rent. demand for justice in the re-
lations between nations shows the
direction of the modern temper.
The News feels the efforts of these
collegiate delegates prove “that
a United States of the World is
not an impossibility but a distinct
probability.”



Urgent Appeal

An appeal is being made to
all faculty members who have
old May Day baskets with which
they would not mind parting,
to turn them in for use this
year. Please put your baskets
in Miss Lang’s office on the
second floor of the North Wing
of the Library, Mr. Lattimore’s
‘old office, before Friday noon.

IN PRINT

Good Night, Sweet Prince
Contains Second-rate
Theorizing



Specially Contributed
by Ellen Harriman, ’46

Any book about John Barry-
more, like any course on Shakes-
peare, would be worth the closest
attention simply because of its
subject matter. But while there
is extant a course on Shakespeare
doubly valuable for the contribu-
tion of its donor, as much cannot
be said for the Barrymore biogra-
phy.

Anecdotes

Gene Fowler seems to have been
a close friend of John Barrymore,
the affection apparently _ resting
on their mutual love of dogs: Fow-
ler has an analytical mind, a tal-
ent for description, and an appre-
ciation of humor; he wisely con-
fines himself mostly to a series of
anecdotes. Barrymore guzzling at
the age of five, wooing a garbage-
truck horse with bouquets of ros-
es, scaling dizzy cliffs at risk of
his pickled neck, constructing an
entire country estate on the roof
of his boarding house, impresses
the reader as being one of the
original spirits of our generation.
He made-a pet of a vulture, but dis-
owned the beast when he noticed
it hovering over his sickbed with
keen interest. He drew such gris-
ly cartoons for a newspaper that
employed him, that they finally set

sudden death. He remodeled his
voice to play Richard III, and
turned’ to Hamlet as an_ escape
from marital misery. He had
strong, unselfish affections, and
equally deathless hates. His vo-
cabulary was immense and _his
knowledge of literature tremen-
dous; but no one had ever caught
him reading a book. He often ar-
rived at his dressing room too
drunk to stand or speak; but the
minute he stepped onto the stage
he was fully in command of him-
self and of his audience. The
mythical Barrymore stage pres-
ence, legacy of the entire family,
was a constant miracle to his ¢o-
workers.

So far, Fowler can’t lose; but
he betrays himself in several in-
trospective passages of second-
rate theorizing, and shows poor
taste in some of his selection. He
reprints, for instance, pages of
sacharine drive] from Barrymore’s
private diary which should never

Common Room, April 18. ‘You
can’t build a sound international
political organization on a weak
economic basis,” said Mr. Otto
Mallery, economic adviser to the



Owls-Pile Up-~Points
To Carry Penn Meet





Gymnasium, April 14. Defeating

the Penn swimming team for the
first time in years, the Owls piled

form events and came out ahead,



ILO and author of the recent book,
Economic Union and _ Durable
Peace.

. Giving examples. of the. ill-

effects of former world economic! stroke in 28.0 seconds, as well as|

policy, Mr. Mallery pointed out the
success of the few examples there
have been of economic plans for
the mutual interests’ of several
countries. By following such plans,
a world economic union can

reached which, Mr. Mallery claims, |

is one of the first requisites for a
durable peace.

After World War I, the victor
nations erected strong economic
barriers. which led to the growth
of inflation, originating in. the
conquered countries and spreading
through the world. Moreover, col-
onial trade was limited.

The Hull trade agreement, a re-
ciprocal program, .was, however,
an excellent example of the United
States’ attempt to keep trade open
and on an equal basis for all.
Other examples of this policy, ad-
vocated by Mr. Mallery, are the
Congo Basin Convention, Inter-
American Coffee Agreement, and
United States Rubber Aigreement.

“Projects unite; ideologies sep-
arate,” said Mr. Mallery. To fur-
ther economic union, he considered
the piece-meal method best. He
believes that such projects as the
United Nations Food and Agricul-

tural Administration and_ the
UNRRA will bring nations closer
together.

Eventually a larger orgianiza-
tion will arise. It can best be mod-
eled on the ILO which has success-
fully come through the inter-war
period.

have been laid bare to the public.
We sense that Fowler is hardly a
good writer, but we can appreci-
ate his attitude toward Barrymore
for he renders this mad Thespian
understandable, and gives us a
sympathy and admiration which
admit of no ee alee value
of this book is that ~one_ lays it
down with a confidence in Barry-
more’s genius and of the _ essen-
tially innocent, beautiful, and wise
character of his inner self.

Russian War Movies
Show German Defeat



|
| Music Room, April 15.- Under-

‘lying reasons for Russian victories
‘against would-be conquerors dur-
ing the past seven centuries and
ithe motivating forces behind those
‘attempted conquests were ex-
| pressed in the movie Battle of Rus-
|sia, presented under the auspices
lof the Undergraduate Association.
|This movie was the last in’ ser-
ies of documentary war films.

Using particularly graphic and
comprehensible maps, this culmin-
ating film, Battle of Russia, shows
why the Russian military tactics
were successful against German
panzer divisions. Instead of con-
centrating all their forces on the
border, where, if defeated; they
would leave the country as de-
fenseless as France jhad been, the
Russians made their defense cum-
ulative.

As each successive line of Rus-
sian defenders was defeated, the
film demonstrated, it fell back to
increase the force of the line be-
hind it. Thus the Germans, tired
and battle-scarred, met the great-
est. Russian strength at the gates
of Moscow and were turned back.
Of equal importance in defeating
the invaders were the scorched
earth policy, guerilla warfare, and
the spirit of the Russian people.
Time and the Russian winter were
also important factors.

(Depicting Russia’s successful
battles during past history, this
film also showed two of the main
factors stimulating the Germans
in their desire to conquer Russia:
the vast size and resources of the
USSR.

Indian Caste System

The four natural classes are

There is, Mr. Yakhub pointed out,
much local self-government in
India, the two,main self-govern-
ing institutions being the village
the craft and
merchant guilds.

Indian belief that the value of
society lies in the preservation of
its integrity and the gradual im-
provement of its component parts
is to a large extent expressed
through the caste system, accord-

each class possessing collective se-

form of corporate life which is
instrumental in providing freedom

and order.

Kimbrough Describes
Hollywood Experience

Continued from Page 1
founded. Miss Kimbrough discov-
ered that the versatility of the
camera, a feature lacking on the
legitimate stage, was counter-
balanced by certain limitations
which did not present problems to
theatre technicians. For example,
Miss Kimbrough found that scenes
which depend upon a dialogue with
changing expressions must take
place within ten feet of the cam-
era, thus limiting the area visible.

Moreover, a movie must main-
tain a steady continuity, and can-
not denote a lapse of\time by a
note on the program to that ef-
fect. These limitations found ex-
pression in the problem of door
scenes. Miss Kimbrough found
that a character may be seen com-
ing in a door, but the door. can
never, simultaneously, be shown in
relation to the rest of the room.
The door may be shot in one scene,
and then there is a shift to a scene
involving the room. Miss Kim-
brough found that this constant
reducing necessary in the movies
made it impossible to present one
of the scenes which, she felt, had
good dramatic qualities—the deck
tennis game. It was impossible,
she found, to follow both the ex-
pressions of the spectators and
the passage of the deck tennis
ring, which are both necessary to
the point of the anecdote.

Class of 1946 Plans
Carnival for May 6th

Enlarging upon. the _ tradition
started last year, the Sophomore
class is planning a Carnival for
May 6. It will be given on the
hockey fields from two to six in
the afternoon before the Junior
Prom.

Besides having the class animal,
Mr. Herben, sell balloons,
Sophomores are planning to offer
games, races, and concessions of
all kinds. Among the special con-
cessions will be handwriting analy-
sis, palmistry, portrait sketching,
and rhumba or conga lessons in
five minutes. A flower booth and
a traveling grab bag will add to
the general gaiety.

The game booths will include
bingo, bowling, dart throwing,
penny pitching, “The Lucky Tur-
tle”, baseball throws and “Pin the
Tail on the Donkey”. Races,
three-legged and two-legged and
one-legged will cover the second
hockey field. Prizes will be given
for all the games and races.

Chances will be sold in all the
halls before the Carnival for the
raffle of a huge stuffed animal. It
is hoped that tickets may be sold
allowing guests to eat a_ buffet
supper in the halls after the Car-
nival. One large booth will be de-
voted to the sale of war stamps
and the raffling of bonds donated
by businesses in the village.

Still indefinite, but cherished by
the Sophomore class are plans for
getting a ferris wheel, a dance
platform, and a hurdy gurdy.

identify themselves with the Su-
preme Being, or transcendental
self, that they may thereby real-
ize their own worth.

In reply to the charge that In-
dian religion is amoral, he ex-
plained that in India religion did
not generate conscience or moral
laws, ethics being but the off-
spring of society. Ethics are giv-
en fixity when they are connected
with religion, and in India right
action is ‘considered the first step
to religious perfection.

Buddha, born in 560 B. C., was’

the teacher and founder of the
first great international religion.
The doctrine of Karma, the belief
that man was bound to the Wheel
of Life, from which he might not
escape until he had developed
ethical perfection in his actions, is
the root of Buddhism. Perfection
might not be attained until man
had passed through a cycle of
lives, each determined by his ac-
tions in the preceding one.

Indian religions have more re-
cently ‘become less intellectual and
philosophical and more mystical,
Mr. Yahkub asserted. About 1100

A. D. the religions of Vishnu and
‘Siva were developing.
