‘Vocational Lectures.
Qn Magazines, WAVES
Planned for Seniors



The Vocational Committee has,
carranged two lectures next week
in the Deanery. Mary Moon Hem-
ingway, Bryn Mawr ’40, will speak
to seniors on Monday, November
3 at 7.30 P.M. Ensign Miriam E.
Waltmeyer, Navy Women’s Reser-
vist of the Office of Naval Pro-
curement, Philadelphia, will talk
at 7.30 P.M. on November 10.

Mrs. Hemingway, representative
for Vogue’s Prix de Paris Contest,
won first prize in that contest in
1940. Her talk will be of interest
to seniors considering the publi-
cations field as well as to those
wishing to learn about the contest.
All members of the class of 1944
are invited to attend.

Ensign Waltmeyer willlead a
discussion for Bryn Mawr ‘seniors,
on. the Navy’s new policy of of-
fering college seniors a chance to
qualify for the WAVES’ officer’s
traini under the V-9 program.
Under this program, students may
start their officer’s training before
graduation. The Navy quota has
been raised to 91,000 so more offi-
cers are urgently needed. Ensign
Waltmeyer attended Gettysburg
College and the University of Vir-
ginia, She trained under the Navy
programs at Mt. Holyoke and
Smith Colleges,

Events in India

’ To Be Examined

Continued from Page 1

In dispelling some of our illu-
sions about India, she points out
that, actually, language difficulties
are not overwhelming as many
claim; the truth is that Indo-Ary-
an languages based on Sanskrit
are understood by three-fourths
of the _ people. Hindo-Moslem
friction is exaggerated; there has
really been much cooperation be-
tween the two groups in spite of
foreign interference. It must be
remembered, she says, that “the
great majority of the Indian Mos-
lems are descendants of converts
from Hinduism.”

Russell Recommends

Process of Induction
Continued from Page 1
inductive method, which included
among others: that a geneéraliza-
tion made from factors other than
enumerated instances is not even
probable, that the inductive prin-
ciple can not be inferred from de-
ductive principles, and that it can-
not be inferred from experience
except by the inductive process.

In discussing induction, which
hinges on the definition of proba-
bility, Mr. Russell asked, “What
does a probable judgment assert?”
‘Probable’ may either refer to
doubtfulness or uncertaintly, or to
mathematical probability. In re-
gard to the latter, the rational
man should estimate each set. of
discreet probabilities—and consider
them as equally probable if ex-
perience shows that they are al-
most so. This is a mixture of the
frequency theory and the _theory
of equiprobability. Thus, if throw-
ing each face of a di is an equal-
ly probable event, but experience
from 600 throws has made one
side come up only 99 times, one
may still rationally infer that the
probability of its turning up is 1-6.

Raw Materials

Induction, analogy, and causal
continuity are the “raw material
of physics”, asserted Mr. Russell.
One must accept induction un-
proved, The question of the prob-
ability inferable from data is not
a valid- argument for induction,
sine ‘the observations which the
inductionist makes are not at ran-
dom but derived from the past and
present only. Future events may
not be inferred definitely but only
probably, depending on the factors
involved. Analogy goes beyond
observation and draws inferences
in the present or future. The ar-
gument ‘that the sun exists, said
Mr. Russell, comes from the prin-
ciple of causal continuity, which
depends on others’ testimony, ac-
cepted because of the analogical
argument that others think as one
thinks.

Although this argument is weak
to physicists who hold that the sun
exists only as long as they see it,
Mr. Russell affirmed that the as-
sumption of induction was neces-
sary for man’s “future happi-
ness.” One does not have to main-
tain that induction is certainly val-
id, but only probably valid; and
not in all cases but in each case,
Thus the probability in the induc-
tive postulate is not in'terms of
chance, but of doubtfulness, ~ and
can give a man rational grounds
for choosing one action rather
than another.

prevails with several: “Coopera-

necessary—man is a_ gregarious
beast.” Others considered it, coy-
ly, a “leading question,” but joined
with the contingent which favors
the social aspects of cooperation,
especially in the language clubs
where one finds it beneficial “to
hear the other sex’s pronouncia-
tion.” A few disparaging remarks
such as “Cooperation, yes, but why
pick Haverford?” or “Why only
with Haverford? What about
Penn and Swarthmore?” indicate
an ancient antagonism still direct-
ing the opinions of many.

On the whole, there was much
criticism of the News’ editorial on
the subject, which was variously



called “indiscreet”, “petty” and
“in bad taste,” and tending to cre-
ate ill-will. Much fuss about little
was the verdict of a few.

Few statements were made by
students believing that the Read-
ers’ Digest presents a prejudiced

that it is unbiased usually quali-
fied their answer: “A completely
unbiased magazine cannot be
found, but*the Digest is one of the
least prejudiced.” Concerning the
pros and cons of “roving editors”,
students expressed the desirabil-
ity of added interest and individ-
uality contributed by special re-
porters. “Roving reporters are
doing an adequate job and their
articles do not overshadow the re-
print material.” One student feels
that “its editorial policy which
can be definitely stated is capital-
ism.” Several state that the Di-
gest should indicate clearly the
personal‘ opinions expressed. “As
long as it is interesting and fair,”
says one student, “I don’t care
where it gets its articles.”

their profession. Previously, they
had made concert tours in Europe,
first appearing in public under the
encouragement of Lotte Lehman,
the great opera singer.

The family, consisting of three
sons and seven daughters, is under
the musical direction of the Rev-
erend Doctor Franz Wasner. The
two eldest sons will not be present
at the concert as they are serving
their adopted country in the In-
fantry Ski Troops.

On their program, old church
music of Mozart, songs of Schu-
bert and Brahms, and madrigals
are combined with folk songs of
many countries. Many of the earl-
ier selections are accompanied by
recorders, violas de gamba and
spinets.

The price of admission is $1.10
and $1.65. Tickets may be obtained
at the Publicity Office. All seats
are reserved.

Improvement of Voices

A former president of the Rad-
io Club, Bill Willar has had coach-
ing and experience’ in public
speaking, as well as in the por-
trayal of character roles. His :
course aims particularly towards
the improvement of radio voices.



The classes are open to all those
interested, and the Radio Club
urges its members to attend since
the courses will be vital for radio
production. Miss Henderson’s
class will meet on Tuesdays from
nine to ten®P.M. and Mr. Willar
will teach on Wednesdays from
nine to ten P.M. The classrooms
will be announced later. Anyone
wishing to attend should contact
