Dr. Murray Asks

Youth’s Support
To Defeat Nazis

German Ideology of War
Must be Overthrown
For Success





Goodhart Hall, Monday, March
9.—In his talk on “The Psychologi-
cal Aspects of the Present Con-
flict,’ Dr. Henry A. Murray asked
the people of the younger genera-
tion to make an unequivocal ans-
wer to the challenge of the Nazi
fight for power . . they must
“jump out of themselves to give
and be given.” He gave a picture
of the motivation behind the oppos-
ing ideologies of the conflict ad
drew some conclusions concerning
the morale on both sides.

Dividing the people of the world
into two factions, for the benefit of
the “analytical” Bryn Mawr mind,
Dr. Murray denoted the Nazis as
the “X faction”, and the United
States, as the “Y faction”. Ger-
many’s motive, the power motive,
following the nation’s former frus-
trations, has become a religion, he
said. The philosophy which em-
bodies this motive has been, enliv-
ened by passion and soe"

The idea of an omnipotent ruler
is dominant in the Nazi ideology,
he said. The whole State, or ges-

talt, is more than the sum of its

International Union
Offered by Schumann
As Ultimate Solution



American Tradition Must be
Federal Union Basis, Says
Williams Professor



Goodhart, Sunday, March. 8.—
Speaking under the auspices of the
Philadelphia Committee for Fed-
eral Union, Carl Schuman, Wood-
row Wilson professor of Govern-
ment at Williams College and
author of numerous books on the
Nazi conflict, urged that we must
now lay the basis for winning the
peace or we will lose the war. A
federal union based on an expan-
sion of our American tradition is
the only solution to the threat of a
Nazi-dominated world.

The frustration of the twentieth
century, stated Mr. Schuman,
arises from two opposing trends:
the first is an attempt to deal with
world difficulties in terms of na-
tional. sovereignity; the second, in
what appears to be international
anarchy. International govern-
ment is necessary to eliminate war
and-poverty. The crucial issue of
the present war is the. question of
who shall establish that govern-
ment, who shall dictate the world
order of the future.

Expanded American federalism
and “melting pot” culture, Mr.
Schuman declared, can and must
be utilized by the United Nations
in creating a federation of nations.

Other ..countries». must not:-be co-|

‘erced to join, but no nation that
will comply with the regulations
should be excluded.

The federation would be based
on the premise that all ecommuni-
ti@s must be willing to yield their
sovereignity over trade, finance,
defense and foreign policy, and

_ that all must be willing to accept

the fundamental principles of de-
mocracy and some form of a fed-
eral bill of rights. Freedom for

Purpose of College Education Discussed
By Student and Faculty in Forum Panel



Common Room — A forum on
“Education in Wartime”, held
Monday evening, under the chair-
manship of Mrs. De Laguna com-
bined faculty with the Alliance
speakers. Reasons for going to
college, the values of liberal and
technical training, what professors
feel they are contributing in the
field of instruction, and the decis-
ions of individuals now in college,
were discussed by Miss Taylor,

\| Miss Robbins, Mary Gumbart and

Sheila Gamble.
Sheila Gamble

Sheila Gamble stated two main
reasons for going to college: either
to prepare for some special field



or spend the time profitably be-
fore getting married. The present
| state of war would not, she said,
affect those preparing for voca-
tions unless they were doing grad-
uate work in the classics. The val-
ues and justifications for those at-
tending college with no special ca-
reer in mind are not so easy to see.
For four years, Sheila stated, a
student is a non-productive factor
and the feeling of uncertainty may
cause students without a specific
vocation cithtr to leave college or

for vocations, said Mary Gumbart,
but also for those without specific
careers in mind. We must think

of the peace which must be settled !

as well as of the actual prosecution
of the war. In college we develop
the techniques of criticism and
evaluation which can best be
gained by a general study covering
four years. The post-war recon-
struction course fills in. a needed
gap and new courses of the same
type should be added. These, she
stated, need not be required. i|

Miss Robbins

Miss Robbins discussed the aims
of teachers in the present crisis.
Teaching techniques creating men-
tal control, discipline and _forti-
tude,..can all be gained through
studies, she stated. The continua-
tion of scholarship is valuable and
must be perpetuated mainly
through women and children. The
need for doing things within defin-
ite time limits and for recognizing
facts as facts are some of the most
valuable assets gained from col-
lege.

To the question, shall we leave

college to do war work? Miss Tay-

lor answered yes, if we have tech-

Choirs Will Combine;
Plan ‘Elijah’ Concert

For Musical Service





Mr. Willoughby is Conducting
Mendelssohn Performance -
In Goodhart

The Mid-Semester Chapel Serv-
ice in Goodhart Hall will be held
on Sunday, March 22, at 8 P. M.,
and, as in former years, will be a
musical service. It will consist of
excerpts from Mendelssohn’s Ora-
torio “Elijah,” constituting about
half the entire work.

“Elijah” was. first projected by
Mendelssohn~ when he was living
in London in 1837, but on account
of other projects it was held in
abeyance until 1845, when he was
commissioned to write a work for
and to conduct the Birmingham
Festival towbe held the following
year. The work was thus produced
there in 1846 amid scenes of tre-
mendous enthusiasm and has ever
since retained its popularity, owing
to its fine dramatic qualities and
its very singable and effective
straightforward chorus writing. Its

courses, is the coordinator between
the undergraduate and faculty de-
fense activities. All problems
arising in connection with defense
courses are to be referred to her.

New League Chairman
Awaits Final Verdict;
Indulges in Solitaire



Helen, Eichelberger, the first
non-resident in a long time to have
one of the big college offices, was
elected to head the Bryn Mawr
League on the first day she has
missed during her college career.
She sat at home all day, playing
solitaire while ,awaiting the ver-
dict.

Noted for her ability to amuse
the children who flock to the Bryn
Mawr Camp each summer, Eichy
may bé: found almost any day un-
der Pem Arch in serious conversa-
tion with Judy Weiss. She is also
apt_to dash up to someone, saying,
“Oh, wouldn’t you like to model for
the Art Club?”

The girl accosted turns on her
most professional smile, smoothes
back her hair, and gurgles, “Why,
I’d be delighted. What shall I
wear?”

“Nothing,” Eichy replies.



Sally Matt Revamps
Personality for New
Undergrad Activities



Sally Matteson, the new Under-
graduate Association’s president,
smoked her twelfth cigarette at the
announcement of her election. “I
have to fight against wholesome-
ness,”,sshe says, “and try to be
dark and devious.”

To encourage these characteris-
tics, besides waving a- foot-long
cigarette holder, she avidly reads
long, morbid Russian novels. Dos-
toyevsky is her favorite author,
but she denies the assumption that
she models her personality on the
lines of his characters.

Sally’s ambition to be a railroad
engineer receives her planned at-
tention. She climbs trees, and eats
Vecrambled eggs daily to keep —.
cally fit for her intended career

-She is confident that such an
efficient system of committees of
the Undergraduate Association has

back, and in true engineer fashion
“watch the wheels go ’round”. Her
only demand on her new position is
that it will release her from duty
on Saturdays and Sundays so she
can attend the baseball games

Her major, Biology, requires
much of her time, and she philo-
sophically told us that her peace
of mind is directly proportionate
to the yield she gets in organic
chemistry.

The Forum should be controversial.

It should not only indi-

cate the problems involved, but present contrasting points of view.

So far, we think it has failed.

Originally the Forum was designed to supply the needed shot
in the arm to campus opinion. But it has, unconsciously perhaps,
narrowed its scope to the point where it presents only one phase

of the problems considered.

‘The Lantern’s’ ' Batting

Average is Rising,

States Ellicott in Review of Winter Issue



Specially Contributed by =
Nancy Ellicott, ’42
The Lantern’s batting average is

rising. The winter issue contains
material that is for the most part
sound and which is consistently
amusing and interesting. . The con-
tributors seem to be moving | frown

a preoccupation with complexities
toward a more natural form of
writing—in which the fundamental

“idea has its own force and directs

the development of the prose or
poetry through which it is ex-
pressed. A taint of the old “art
for art’s. sake” credo seeps into
the last paragraphs of the edi-
torial; but on the whole the maga-
zine demonstrates that its deter-
‘mination —to- feel,..and.. to watch,
need not be a fruitless one.

First, for the poetry. The best

of the three poems is the “Invoca-

tion to a Tacit Muse.” The basic
idea is clear and well expressed,
particularly in the lines

‘
I only disrespect

The slack string rotting on the;

shapely instruments,
The nerve relaxed, abandoned, giv-
en up.

and the four that follow; but more
important is the able use of
rh The author has succeeded,
particularly in her final five lines,
in communicating the oes of
her thought.

“Youth,” by Margaret alae
shows promise. Though slight, it

—Jhas the virtues of economy and

agp ‘the last stanza shows that
the author can compress several

thoughts into one image, deepening
her effect.

“And Yet Unhailed and Name-
less” is the least satisfactory of
the poems. The introduction,
though it has its value for the
development of the poem, uses im-
ag@ry which when brought into
contact with that of the larger part

of the Ypoem, is \definitely incon-
gruous. The difficulty—seems to
arise from the author’s inability

to decide, or to make clear, which
‘of the two relationships—of her-
self to ‘you,’ or of herself to the
star boat’s efficient beauty—was
the experience she was most inter-
ested in defining. This confusion
detracts from the poem’s merits—
which are apparent in the three
verses. in which the author makes
vivid her realization that “Not im-
pulse only can be honesty.”

The best of the prose, and one
of the best stories The Lantern has
published lately, is Joan Gross’s
“Sold!” Miss Grass has created
characters that convince, and has
shown skillfully the impact of real
events upon them. The course of
action has reality at every point.
The use of imagery as background
—the lights of the juke-box, the
deceptive, yet impressive, precision
of the neon signs—is particularly
well handled, and _ contributes
greatly to the emotional tension
and to the climax of the story. -

shows some narrative skill and a
good sense for details. However,

the story would have been improved
by the peeling away of some non-
essentials and by an even greater
emphasis upon the particular

WIT*S END.

Tall, Dark, and Not Necessarily

Can it be. that the old Bryn
Mawr we have loved is crumbling?
Surrounded by almost Oriental
luxury we sink deeper into deca-
dence day by day. From the smoth-
ering fumes of cigarettes and al-
cohol we take the freeman’s last
stand and call out for union now
with Haverford and Swarthmore.
In our humble Quaker institution
we have lost the faculty of un-
leashing our hysteria. There is a
suspicion that we are the Ameri-
can tragedy. Put an icepack on
your head, go down to the smoking
room, and look around. Do you
feel hysterical? Passion is a won-
derful thing, a frothy mouth. That
doesn’t repulse you, does it? You
have sunk too low to care.



Now is the time for the rapier-
tongued, sophisticated Bryn Mawr
girl to forget these squeamish
seruples and look Haverford
squarely in the face. That is the
acid test. My beloved, what has
become of us?



stances which show how completely
the life of Marguerite C. was
shaped by war. As it is, the con-
clusion of the story is overburdened
and the full force of the final evac-
uation upon her character is
smothered.

To “The Hyena” I can only say,
No. H. H. Munro and Mr. Hem-
ingway are too uncongenial. The
first two paragraphs almost en-
courage one to think that there
may be some profit to be gained
from a collision of style between
Saki’s irony and Big Ernest’s re-
petitive periods, but this hope soon
withers.

However, “Fantasy in Nothing
Flat” shows that the Saki influence
undiluted, is stimulating. The dia-
logue is clever, the dramatic hand-
ling. of the incident is good. The
reflections on children, pets, and
things of the intellect are very
satisfactory. I quibble a little at
Mr. Cat’s epilogue—but there are
certainly worse ways of allowing

| time to pass.

“Poor Pedanglia” should have
been better. Its attempt to ‘utilize
college material is praiseworthy. It
begins amusingly, and the heroine’s
obsession with the period is well
drawn. But there were further

possibilities, surely, open to the bio-| -

grapher. And the conclusion of the
story, the author descends from
satire to tepid farce.

I have saved part of the best for
the last. “On the Existence of Pro-
fessors” is fine satirical writing,
using the specific technique of the

man child has been partly respon-
sible for this conception. The
father is an arrogant leader, and
children are imbued with the sub-
missive character at an early age,
he explained.



State”, Germany, is an efficient. or-
ganized whole. In Germany “every
man is a member of the army”, de-
clared Dr. Murray.

The “Y’s”, on the other hand,
are exemplified by the “optimistic,
cock-sure, and nonchalant Ameri-
cans.” Dr. Murray did not mean,
he said, that America has no ideol-
ogy. The Christian tradition, the
democratic principle, and the prep-
osition that “every man has a soul

. a seed of potentiality”, and
deserves ‘fa nucleus. of— self-re-
spect”, forms the antithesis to the
Nazi ideal. The United States, in
this character, was unable to de-
tect the intentions of the Nazis.
Germany “was allowed to choose |
its weapons and its hour”, |

The United States does not real-
ize the moral issue involved in the
struggle. A victory for the “X’s”
would mean psychological destruc-
tion as well as the spread of the
“might makes right” doctrine. The
“X’s”, he indicated, might very
well win, for America’s spirit of
aggression is either involved in the
class struggle, or is non-existent.
Aggression in Germany, he said, is
directed downward, toward the lit-
tle man, while in America, it is
the fashion to debunk the govern-
ment, directing aggression upward.

He blamed the short-sightedness
of the younger generation on the
pacifist indoctrination, and on the
“‘sensation-to-sensation” living en-
couraged by Hollywood. We must
realize what is at stake, he said,
and a little war hysteria and pas-
sion would properly arouse us. We
need aggression and -we need the
implements of social science to
build a future. Dr. Murray asked
the younger generation to “have
the courage of its loyalty”, for “no
war has ever been won with cool
detachment and determinance”.

Common Room, March 10.—All
news from the Pacific and Atlantic
Coast has been bad this week, said
Mrs. Manning. The difficulties of
fighting a global war, the speed of
the Japanese offensive and the evi-
dence that enemy submarines are
acting freely off our shores, neces-
sitates a counter use of speed at
the time when our war machine is
being geared.

Java is definitely lost and it
seems that little could have been
done soon enough from the outside
to prevent the catastrophe. The
fall of Burma and the closing of
the road was anticipated but took
longer than expected. It does not
seem that war supplies could be
transported rapidly enough on a
new road which is being contem-
plated.

General Wavell is in India di-

recting its defense. The: British
statement on political policy in
India is still forthcoming and the
greatest difficulty lies in gaining
consent of the differing Indian
groups to any proposed plan. It
is very likely that either Sir Staf-
ford Cripps or Sir Archibald Sin-
clair will be sent to India to insti-
tute any plan that Parliament
might agree upon. The valiant de-
fense of the Philippines is contrib-
utory to the British in the Indian
situation and the greatest weight
seems to fall on the side of giving
India as much independence as
possible.
It is, obviously, advisable to take
the offensive at the earliest possi-
ble moment; we must be ready.
Five possible plans for offensive
action were offered:

1) Accumulate as many men
and_as- much material_as_possible
and try to retake Java.

2) Take the offensive from India
through Burma to Siam and co-
operate with China.

3) U. S. Navy might operate
from Hawaii, Alaska and Mandate
Islands in the Pacific.

4) Take offensive against Italy
and thence to Africa and help Rus-
sia out in the coming German of-
fensive.

5) Take the offensive against
Europe from Norway.

not only in time of a raid; but
whenever necessary to the general
plan of defense.

general air raid instructions.

Catherine McClellan announced
the Self-Government regulations to
be carried out in case of an ex-
tended blackout:

1. All students must remain_on
campus after dark.

2. Campus activities will contin-
ue as normally as possible.

8. The Theatre Workshop is to
be considered within the campus
limits.

4. If a student is off campus
when a blackout is called, she is to
comply with local regulations, call
her hall warden or a permission
giver, and return as soon as possi-
ble. The local authorities will tell
her how this. can best be-done.

Public rooms in the college
buildings will be blacked out for
general use. They will include the
Reference, Periodical, Writing and
Reserve rooms in the Library, and
Romance Language and Latin
Seminars, the History of Art
Study and Lecture Room in the
West Wing. Two public rooms in
each hall, the Common Room, Mu-
sic Room and the Theatre Work-
shop will also be blacked out.

Students’ rooms and Faculty of-
fices may be blacked out at the oc-
cupant’s expense and with the ap-
proval of the air raid wardens—
Dora Benedict and Patricia Saint
Lawrence.

Mr. Cameron urged everyone to
help both making the discomforts
arising from an extended blackout
as few as possible, and actively
helping with the constructions.

Honor Miss McBride

More than 250 graduates and
friends of Bryn Mawr, Haverford
and Swarthmore in the New York
area attended the first joint alumni
dinner in the history of the three
colleges last Tuesday evening, Feb-
ruary 24, at the Hotel Vanderbilt,
New York City.

Miss Katherine McBride, Presi-
dent- elect of Bryn Mawr, was the
guest of honor. President Morley
of Haverford and President Nason
of Swarthmore spoke on the back-
ground, present status and future
developments of the cooperative
program undertaken recently by
the colleges. Miss Marion Park,
President of Bryn Mawr, was pre-
vented from attending by illness.

Miss McBride said that for the
program of cooperation to be suc-
cessful each college must weigh the
fields in which it is most effective
and aim to strengthen these fields,
while the two other colleges do
likewise in their particular fields.

Joan Gross sighing with ‘unmiti-

Joan, we feel, deserves it. After

Dr. Hudson Discusses
Regional Differences
In International Law



Music Room, March 6.—In the
past, regional formations have
given rise to unitary states, such
as Italy and Germany, and to fed-
eral states, stated Dr. Hudson in
his fifth lecture The Regional De-
velopment of International Law.
The Swiss Confederation is a fed-
eral state par excellence. Politi-
cally it is divided into cantons, but
there are four official languages in
the country, and the religion and
racial stock are not altogether uni-
form.

Regionalism may be proposed as
the opposite of universality, as the
concommitant of universality, or
as the basis’ of universality. Of
the eight possible bases of region-
alism, geographical, racial, linguis-
tic, religious, cultural, economic,
and _ strategical, each
has various merits. But, Dr. Hud-
son pointed out, no one of these is
sufficient in itself. Each cross-cuts
another, and idealogical and stra-
tegical principles are changing so
as to be impractical as bases.

Land Corps Project :
Seen as Help in War



Meetings have been held in the
halls to discuss the summer project
of the Volunteer Land Corps. Cyn-
thia Harris, who worked on one of
the farms last summer, explained
that helpers are needed for three
full months, since part of that
time is spent training them. The
term is from June 15 to September
15. Volunteers must be in good
health, responsible and capable of
performing strenuous. work.
Friends who volunteer may ar-
range to be near one another. The
wages are $21 a month plus board
and lodging.

Mrs. Collins and Alison Ray-
mond may be approached for fur-
ther information. Volunteers may
obtain blanks from Mrs. Crenshaw.



gional sources, and the restraining
of slave and liquor traffic in ‘North
Africa isan example of regional
international law in operation.

The European states for a long
time had a monopoly on the: exist-
ent international law. After the
middle of the last century, inter-
national law was regarded as
Christian law. But the League of
Nations has maintained ‘‘a general
principle of law recognized by civ-
ilized nations.”

There has been some regionalism
in the League, however, despite its
goal of universality. Much of its
work had to do with European
problems, and fifty-eight of the
sixty cases brought before the Per-

ropean countries. But it is nat-
ural that much of international
law has had its focus in Europe
and has moved about European
affairs. Perhaps in the future, Dr.
Hudson conjectured, the axis of in-
ternational law will shift, and the
law will revolve around another
geographical centre.

Angels Have Digestive Systems, Reside in
Houses in the Swedenborgianites’ Heaven



Specially Contributed by Alice

Crowder, ’42, and Barbara Cooley, ’42

“We don’t believe many of the
things science has proved. For in-
stance, we know there are people
on the moon because the Bible says
so.” As he spoke Mr. Cooper, cu-
rator of the Church of the New

Jerusalem in Bryn Athyn, the cen-
tre of Swedenborgian religion for
the world, leaned on the pew and
streched his legs across the aisle.
Jewelled red and blue light glanced
through the windows and rested on
the pillars of the darkened cathe-
dral, on teakwood carvings and
granite floors. Overhead arches
curved, perfect in the manner of
the Parthenon, each imperceptibly
different.

“Do Swedenborgians __ believe
everything in the Bible?” we asked.

He reprimanded us, “Members
of the New Church never call
themselves Swedenborgians,” he
said. Then he went on, “Yes, we
believe that the Scriptures are
truths dictated by God to the
prophets.”

“Are you Protestant . . are
you Catholic . . . are you Chris-
tian?” we queried in breathless
succession.

“We are the only true Chris-
tians,” answered the curator. “We
believe in Christ as the only divin-
ity. We do not wait for the second
coming, we know that the new Je-
rusalem is already here.”

“When?” The intellectual ap-
proach could not be quickly cast
aside and we must know.

“1770.” It was an immediate
response, alarmingly contempor-
ary, alarmingly accurate. “The
others wait for a reappearance in
the flesh,” he continued, “but we
believe that the Second Coming
was the revelation of those truths

to Swedenborg which Christ said !

would be given the world when it
was ready. Swedenborg wrote
what Christ revealed but, unlike
the other prophets, he understood
and so was enabled to clarify the
revelation. He is therefore the
greatest of the prophets. He is
also the last.”

The ehurch in which we were
sitting was structurally based on
a modification of the Gothic, not



N. Evarts, Undaunted,
Climbs to Editorship
In Less Than a Year



Specially Contributed by the
1941 Board

After struggling along under an
economic and political regime,
writing strange and occult feat-
ures on the Autocar Factory in
Ardmore, on blackouts, on Civilian
Defense, Nanny Evarts has come
to the editorship of the COLLEGE
News breaking several well estab-
lished precedents. A history ma-
jor, she is the first non-economics
editor in four years; and she has
been on the NEws board less than
a year. She has, nevertheless, had
a severe and gruelling apprentice-
ship. “Are you busy?” it went—
or better, “You aren’t busy ‘are
you?”—so she was always busy.
Last year she wrote play reviews
and received thousands of scathing
letters; this year she wrote an ed-
itorial— and was called into the
dean’s office. é

The climax came when she wrote
up the College Council. That is-
sue was. submitted to the rewrite
man of an Albany paper. It came
‘back with this cryptie comment
scrawled over the Council write-
up: “This girl must be either very
inexperienced or too stuffy for
words.” :

unlike most churches. It was in

the arrangement of the apse that
it differed. There, instead of an
altar, stood a table on which was
laid a copy of the Scriptures in the
original texts—the Old Testament
in Hebrew, the New in Greek—
usually veiled, but symbolically
opened at the: beginning of every
service. Seven golden candlesticks
rose six feet tall around the table,
bathed in golden light from a
crown shaped chandelier above:
gold, presenting the love of God. A
rich purple light, representing the
love of neighbor, was filtered into
the room from side windows of red
and blue stained glass. In the fu-
ture, the curator explained, the
apse is to be paved with gold im-
bedded in glass, which will repre-
sent the streets of the City of the
New Jerusalem, described in Reve-
lations of St. John as “of pure
gold, as it were, of transparent
glass.” The whole is intended to
symbolize the heavenly city as re-
vealed to St. John.

Materials for the Cathedral are
prepared in wooden workshops, low
lying on the hill climaxed by the
towers and spires of the structure.
“It is the most perfect church in
America,” said Mr. Cooper, with
justification, for no time, expense,
nor effort is spared to make it so.
There is not one straight line in
the building; no two door knobs
are the same.~= Light fixtures,
hinges, chairs, pillars, windows, all
are made separately, painstakingly
by craftsmen imported from all
over the world. The perfection of
the whole is derived from a com-
bination of imperceptible variation
with. unity of conception. Each
detail, in final model, is subjected
to a scrutiny lasting sometimes
many years during which it re-
mains in its intended position in
the church-to be studied in relation
to the whole.

John Pitcairn, first president of
the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Com-
pany left his fortune for the build-
ing. He expected it to be a small
country church for the use of the
little Swedenborgian congregation
which in 1893 had moved from
Philadelphia into the country
where educational work could be
more successfully carried on. It
was his son, Raymond, who drew
up the present plans. The elder is
commemorated by a_ sculptured
head placed in the council room
among the church fathers next to
Swedenborg’s. Today the village
of Bryn Athyn is owned by the
church and governed by members
of the church, most of whom are
Philadelphia business men.

“Do you try to make converts?”
we asked after a pause.

Mr. Cooper looked up. “No, we
believe one is saved-by right living,
not by a particular faith. All the
good go to heaven and the evil to
hell.”

“What is your heaven like?”

“Just like the earth,” he answer-
ed. “There are some things there
we do not know about. The force
of gravitation probably: does not
operate in the same way. But an-
gels have digestive systems; they
live in houses; the children grow
up; and all enjoy doing those
things they liked to do here. There
is neither time nor space in heav-
en; thought brings presence there.
We know’ this because Swedenborg
saw it and told us.”

“And is there punishment in |,

hell?”
-4No,.. hell. is hell because. it is
where evil people congregate, for

there is no possibility of hypocrisy

in after life; one must associate
with those like him.”

Yale University Will
Offer First Summer
School in Dramatics



New Haven, Conn., March 7—
An intensive six weeks’ summer
course—the first summer session in
its history—will be offered by the
Yale University Department of
Drama from July 6 to August 15,
it was announced today by Allar-
dyce Nicoll, chairman of the De-
partment.

“The summer work has_ been
planned with two ends in view,”
Mr. Nicoll said, “to allow degree
candidates to shorten their resi-
dence requirements and to make
available to teachers and others en-
gaged in winter work, courses in all
branches of theatrical activity.”

All the regular teaching staff
will be on hand and the full re-
sources of the University Theatre,
with its auditorium seating 700,
experimental theatre, Green Room,
workshops, and rehearsal -rooms,
will be at the disposal of the stu-
dents.

Among those on the faculty, in
addition to Mr. Nicoll, are: Walter
Prichard Eaton, critic, author and
associate professor of playwriting;
Donald M. Oenslager, scene design-
er; and Stanley McCandless, au-
thority on lighting.

The Department’s summer plans
follow the University’s accelerated
program, designed to meet the
needs of the present emergency. It
differs, however, in that it will run
for six instead of 12 weeks.

Professional, instruction, with
credit, is being arranged in all
branches of dramatic work—play-
writing, criticism, play direction,
technical production, scenic and
costume design, stage interpreta-
tion and lighting. Each instructor
will conduct a general course spe-
cifically intended for teachers and
one or two advanced courses in-
tended for students specially quali-
fied by previous training. . Class
subjects range from “Creative
Writing” through “Dramatic Crit-
icism”’, “Stage Technique” and
“Scene Design” to “Stage Light-
ing” and “Problems of’ Technical
Production”.

The scope of the summer work
will be similar to that of the De-
partment’s FalL.and Winter activi-
ties. Class-teaching is to be com-
bined with practical production of
plays. One “major” production
will be presented towards the end
of the term and numerous “class”
productions will be put in rehear-
sal immediately after the term
opens. Students will thus have
the opportunity of combining criti-
cal study or creative writing with
professional stage practice.

Mawr Aquacade to be given in the
Gym, March 21, at 8:30 P. M. Not
to be outdone by Billy Rose, Fran-
nie Brown, ’44, manager of the
swimming spectacle, promises this
to be as exciting a production as
ever New York put forth.

This will be the story of the
three little fishes who go out to|
make their way in the world. One,
appropriately enough, joins the
navy, and the other two enter ca-
reers which coincidentally demand
swimming skill.

Costumes, brilliant but scanty,
have been designed for each stage
in the fishes’ careers. Mother fish,
a Bryn Mawr alumna, class of
1880, will demonstrate the swim-
ming suit fashions of her day. ..

All are invited to watch a show
which will involve not only aquatic
form but also your friends.

three colleges, Miss McBride said:
“We all welcome more differences
in point of view than we have had
within one small college group.”

President Morley declared the
new program would preserve all
the advantages of autonomy while
strengthening the position of each
of the-colleges. “In time I think
we may look for more identity in
scholastic regulations,” said Dr.
Morley, who added that at present
there was no blueprint for merg-
ing the three adjacent colleges into
a single institution.

The advantage in cooperation,
Dr. Morley pointed out, was that
each college could retain its indi-
vidual character while gaining in
strength from close association
with two other colleges of similar
background and objectives.

President Nason reviewed the
background and present status. of
the program. Consultation on fac-
ulty appointments, the reciprocal
privileges enjoyed by students of
enrolling in courses at another of
the colleges, elimination of dupli-
cate and triplicate purchase of



vances stressed by Dr.’ Nason.

Helpful Hints in Biology 1. When it curdles you to spend
all your time scratching a load of linen just because
nobody takes you to a bustle-rustle,. ask yourself can-

.didly: “Am I a zombie or a goon child?” Don’t go to a

gramophone for a piggy back. Watch your country air.
Be sure your grooming is in the groove—and do your
fingernails with longer-lasting Dura-Gloss!

Glossary: Man-trap: popular gal. In the cage:
at-school. Biology 1: boy problem. Curdles you:
makes,,you angry. Scratching a load of linen:
writing a lot of letters. Bustle-rustle; a dance.,
Zombie; unpopular gal. Goon child: gal with.
S.A. Gramophone. old-fashioned advise-giver.
Piggy back: advice. Country air; make-up. In
the groove: tops. Dura-Gloss; the nail polish
