Of Problem Essential
In Religion



~

Common Room, November 5.—
“The single greatest achievemen
of St. Thomas Aquinas was the per-
fect solution of the problem of faith
and reason,” declared Dr. . Morti-
mer J. Adler, associate professor
at the law school of the University
of Chicago, in an addresgy before
the Philosophy Club. “Dr. Adler
sai a is problem: is possibly
more important than any other to-
day, although one tendency of mod-
ern philosophy is to deny its exis-
tence. He insisted that such denial
is a worse error than a false solu-
tion.

It is impossible to maintain the
validity of faith without reason be-
cause “faith presupposes reason as
grace presupposes nature,” Dr. Ad-
ler stated. Where there is an ap-
parent conflict between faith. and
reason, reason is conflicting with
itself, Faith is possible because
reason recognizes its own limits
and also because reason has the ap-
petite to know more than it can
know. The existence of faith itself
can never be argued or proved by
reason. :

There are certain truths, such as
the existence of God, which belong
both to faith and reason. Although
reason is here a preamble to faith,

all men are not sufficiently rational

ookie Louise Morley Ousts
Mr. Fenwick From Rostrum



‘By Rebecca Robbins, 42
(Contributed in News Tryouts)
At ten o’clock on Wednesday

|morning Dr. Fenwick was called

to Washington. At 11.45 Miss La-
grasso rushed up to Louise Morley
in the stacks, and, breathless and

shee with triumph, burst. forth,
with no punctuation but a final
verwhelming exclamation point,
“You’re Louise Morley I’ve been
looking for you all morning but I
didn’t know who you were Dr.
Fenwick went to Washington and

he wants you to take his class the
president and foreign relations!”

Miss Morley’s only background
for a 50-minute “lecture on the
president and foreign. relations
was a page_of notes from an ab-
stract seminar discussion woven

intricately around the subject, and

first year classes are notoriously
full of shiny, blonde, and realistic
freshme o want facts, one, two,

three. By he rules of aca-
demic tradition, notebooks for first
year courses should be fat, pat,
and prim. No doodles allowed.
So Morley went to Ogg and Ray.
Ogg and Ray is a fat and factful
text, that tells you all, you need to
know about Your Government. To
a first year pol. student, Ogg and

Required Kultur, Not Entertainment,

Blights Lives of

Early Bryn Mawrters



By Emily,Cheney, 40

In the days when it was as-
sumed that the adolescent female
didn’t know her own mind, but
that anyway Kultur was good for
it, there used to be a three dollar
a year charge on pay-day for
every adolescent female in Bryn
Mawr, so that Kultur could be in-
jected. at Goodhart at regular in-
tervals,, That is, about, three suit-
able, refined lecturers and artists
were brought to college and paid
for out of the dues, and out of
admission fees approximately equal|
to those now charged for the en-
tertainment series.

“In 1936; these dues were : finaily’
abolished, and a small committee,
consisting of the president of Un-
dergrad. and a couple of friends, |

Result: a very nominal victory
for No- Taxation - Without - Rep-

charge was removed. On the other
hand, the cost of bringing single

balcony, and up. This meant that
struggling individualists could not
get Kultur.

Herein lay the germ of the series

artists, half of them floodlight na-
turals like Menuhin and _ Iturbi,
and half of them rising but not yet

From Drive Surplus,

Will Finance Exhibit

At a meeting of the Administra-
tion Board of the Activities Drive
held on November 2, the Art Club,
represented by Marion Gill, 740,
presented its case. for a portion of
the Drive’s surplus. As a result
the Art Club has been alloted 42
dollars of. the surplus fund.

The expenses of the Goodhart art
exhibitions, explained Miss Gill, are
very high for they must cover in-
surance, shipping charges, and
rent, as well as‘the minor costs of
Last year,
The President’s Fund and admis-
sion charges supported these exhi-
bitions, but this year the Art Club
must raise the money itself. With-
out a generous:gift from Mrs. Man-
ning and the annual Goodhart fund,
the exhibitions would be non-exis-
tent. As it is, Miss Gill concluded,
admission will have to be charged
unless the Art Club receives help
since four big exhibitions are plart-
‘ned and must be paid for. Because
the art exhibits are attended by a
great number of undergraduates,
the Administration Board felt it
would be to the general interest. to
make these exhibitions free.

All Forecasts Point
To Social Week-end.
Around Bryn Mawr





By Judith Bregman, °42

(Contributed in News Tryouts.)
Latest weather reports indicate
that the coming weekend should be
one of starry skies anda full moon.
This is forecast by the approaching
social “high.” Dispatches. from
Rockefeller, Merion and the non-
residents tell of dances planned for
Saturday night.

The only explanation for the oc-
currence of these phenomena is that
the two halls have traditional fall
dances, Rockefeller: with dinner at-
tached, and’ that the non-residents
had so much fun at last year’s
dance. that they want another.

This sort of high is usually con-
fined to a limited area, but the non-
resident dance is open to all. Some
of the prevailing faculty winds will
shift during the course of the eve-
ning, from dinner in Rockefeller, to
dances in Merion’ or the Common
Room. The prevalent atmospheric
conditions attendant upon the highs
vary according to locale. Merion
will decorate only with flowers be-
cause “you can’t do’ anything with
the showcase.” The Common Room
also awaits flowers for “it needs no
more,” while Rockefellerites will
dance amid autumn cornstalks and
will lounge in the combined easy
ehairs—of—the-whole— hall, brought
down to the-smoking room for that
especial purpose.

All forecasts seem to be hopeful.
Merion, wanting. better food and
more of it, is adding the money for
a hall tea to its usual refreshment

Jallottment.’ The non-residents hope

to get a profit as they did last year.
Good turnouts are expected since
“thé freshmen will come just to see
In fact, the only
cloud on the horizon is that Merion
may have to use either the German
Club piano, which needs tuning, or

‘rent one in Philadelphia.

Ludeones Hit
New Heights



Spontaneity in Acting Linked
To Knack of Modernizing
Classic Comedy



HIGH IN LATIN PLAY

By Elizabeth Dodge, ’41
Virginia Sherwood, ’41 |

Goodhart, November ¥.—The an-
nual Latin comedy, translated this
year by Betty Frazier and Louise
Allen; both ’42, drew an audience
large even for Goodhart. The play
concerned itself with the peregri-
nations of the Menaechmi twins,
better known as the boys from
Syracuse. It was evident that the
experience and skill acquired by
the Eudiones in the past has.’en-
abled them to reach a new peak
in skill and ease in handling.

The Ludiones seem to have cap-
tured permanently a knack for
modernizing Latin comedy. On
Saturday night this modernizing
process was adroitly applied to a
stereotyped classic plot and was
only overdone, occasionally, in the
dialogue. The whole possessed
spontaneity, combined with care-
ful production, excellent direction
under Miss Lake, and a sustained
sense of comedy on the part of
the actors.

The plot consisted of: a pleasant
jumble of mixed identities. Me-
naechmus I (Terry Ferrer, ’40),
having been kidnapped from the



‘|}aneestral bed and board in Syra-

cuse, is leading a hen-pecked life
with a fretful though well-to-do
wife. His troubles are alleviated
by the charms of one sinuous Ero-
tium (Louise Allen, ’42), who car-
ries on her shady practices across
the street.
Menaechmus II (Camilla Riggs,
40) arrives in search of his long-
lost brother, only to fall into a
series of haywire contretemps with
people who think he is the other
Menaechmus. The brother, mean-

while, has his own troubles as‘a ‘

result of the intrusion of the for-

Speech! Speech!

First year courses such as Minor History, Economies, and
Politics, do not seem calculated to inspire individual thought.
More damaging are large second year courses learned almost solely
through lectures with possibly tw o term papers, as in History and
English. Classroom and reading notes, are studied, digested, cor-
related according to the outline’ suggested by the lectures, and
presented in quizzes~and exams, The first-year courses demand
some independent thinking in the assigned reading, but no indi-
vidual research into the field. :

_ In contrast to this passive learning is the active process pro-
vided by the sciences in laboratory work. Here, even in first-year
work, the student learns how to use in concrete problems the
material of the lecture room. In the second year, the work is
less definite and the student must develop independently the trial
and error method, the critical method of her field. ~

Certainly education must be a combination of knowledge,
factual and theoretical, with the power to eriticize and correlate
this material independently. Papers offer a partial solution, Wut

the best and most practical method is class discussion supple-;

mented with student reports:

In the discussions the professor should le the students
grasp the problems and formulate the solution themselves. This
goal cannot be attained, because of our inertia to unrequired
research, by impromptu class arguments or conferences arranged
for the questions of the students. Definite time must be set aside,
and the general subject of discussion must be set for the method
to succeed. \

For the second-year History and English courses, we sug:
gest using one class hour a month for discussion and having large
dlasacs dfvided into section for this period. ing lecture hour should be given so that the discussion does not]
become an extra for which none have time fo prepare.

For first-year courses like Minor History, probably papers,
Some narrow field now

should be given for the present lecture time spent on the subject.

With a narrow field the necessary general knowledge would be]

gained as well as the experience acquired from~ independent
research and writiwg. Two papers a year wpuld be all possible,
but these at least would provide some active learning instead of
merg absorption-of material.



ce Still More Music ‘

The vote of 75 students that they have been thwarted in a
desire to major in Music is obviously not to be taken literally—=it |
-is pehaps-best-eonsidered—as_a-symbol-of. _enthusiasm. However,
by a process of reduction in comparison with the vote on Sociology
two years ago—in-which approximately 30 said that they would
major, and three did—it might be estimated that five ‘or six
students. would actually major in Musi... This: is equal to the
college average of majors in any one department. :

Numerical. support does not supply a theoretical argument

for the idea, but it does indicate that if the objections are of a

practical and financial nature, a sufficient number of students
back the change to make at least a tkoroughgoing investigation
worthwhile. Actually we expected that the arguments, if any,

would be largely theoretical doubts of the valué of intensive study | ,
-of history and criticism of music. However, no such opposition }

_ has yet been brought publicly to our attention.

The play deals with the
crew of an English vessel caught

a cargo of munitions intended for
General Franco, the men refuse to
sail, and maintain their refusal al-
though the governments of both

Mr. Fenwick

Common Room, November 7. —
Reviewing Tuesday’s elections, Mr.
Fenwick commented on the innum-
erable insignificant offices listed on
the local ballots. In Philadelphia,
the Democrats have a fair chance
of electing Mr. White as Mayor,
since the Republicans-have split on
the issue of clean government.

California and Ohio are voting
on old-age pension plans. In Cali-
fornia, these pensions are to be
financed by certificates which would
be legal tender, worth 30 dollars
if spent during the week in which
they were received. The Ohio plan
proposes to finance pensions. by
property taxes.

The neutrality sessions which
were, Mr. Fenwick said, ‘a strug-
gle between the mothers and the
munitions makers,” resulted in the
repeal of the embargo. No one
knows -whether—this—-measure will
keep us out of war. We have been
forced to relinquish the freedom of
the seas, but in return the provi-
sion which forbids American ships
to enter war zones will at least
eliminate the sinking of our ships
by German submarines.

Norway, which at first refused
to let The: City of Flint dock, fin-
ally interned its German crew at
Haunesund, a move which proved
the “spunk of the Scandanavians”
and which may incur Germany’s
displeasure.

Italy moved to weaken her ties
with Germany by purging the pro-
Nazi elements from the Fascist
party. Her chief concern is main-
tenance of Balkan neutrality, since
she depends on them for trade.
Should the Balkans enter the war.









Italy would probably become in-|

THE LIVING MAY DAY -

Come wind, come weather, come
what May, Bryn Ma students
have always Muddled Through.
Having, as we do, a finger in every
pie, we find ourselves the proud
inheritrixes of this tradition. Stout
Cortez could not have looked at
himself with a more wild surmise
‘than we do now, upon discovering
a new medium of expression for a
perennial problem, which shall be
nameless. ‘It seems to us, as Dem-
ocrats and Republicans, or as Re-

publicans and. Sinners, that’ the
proper presentation for May Day
is as a living May Day. Specifi-
cally, we propose a mass meeting,
to be followed almost ‘immediately
by the selection of a small com-
mittee so that everyone can have
nothing to do with it.

In all modesty, we are including
here our contribution to the prob-
lem. (Other contributions will be
gratefully received by the small
committee, but probably not. con-
sidered very seriously.)

The’ production opens with a
man’s voice, the voice of the past,
singing a simple English ditty:
“Strife and struggle, struggle and

strife, —
If you want education, you can’t
be a wife.”

Elizabeth of England stands
looking at the audience, with a
ring for every finger of her hand.
Raleigh enters, running and smok-
ing: “I’m Sir Walter Raleigh, I’m
a very busy man.” Elizabeth pur-
sues him from pillar to post and
the scene closes as she slides down
the maypole, a_ tired, | broken
woman, with a dress for every day
in the year.

The next scene is bosky. The
play. is Gammer Gurton’s Needle.
Groups of workers aré making red
paper flowers in unison. A poor
law is passed and they are re-
turned to their parishes. As they
exit, a reactionary movement en-
ters. It chants:

“Britain. really ruled the waves

In good Queen Bess’s time.

No cash and carry interfered

With privilege maritime.

We only had some wooden ships,
(Though filled with iron men)
For in those days the sea was free,

We had to struggle then.

Dodging Students, Jibing Professors,
Wrong [ists Discombobulate Monitors



By Marguerite Bogatko, ’42

(Contributed in News Tryouts)

There is an old college institution
which cries out for exposure. It
touches upon the scholastic life of
every student on campus and yet it
goes its grim way unremarked.
Its inner workings are known only
to the select few.

I refer to the business of moni+
toring classes. Sounds simple,
doesn’t it: a good way to’make new
friends, to get acquainted with the
freshmen, to acquire in passing
from class to class a smattering of
culture. As a matter of cold fact,
*my friends, you’ve got it all wrong.
I am a nameless unit in the great
monitoring machine; let me clarify
the issue.

In the first place, the tendency is
to get started on the wrong: foot.
It goes something ‘like this: ° A.
Monitor is given a. sheaf of class
lists; monitor makes out seating
plan (with ruler); “Sorry, but
those were the wrong lists.” B.
Monitor is given a sheaf of new
lists; monitor makes out seating
plans (free hand); “Awfully sorry,
Miss Hatch, but it came to me in
the night that I have classes myself
every Monday at eleven.. C. Moni-
tor is given third and last set of
lists; someone -else has made seat-
ing plans (impressionistic) ; moni
tor gets down to business.

It would really be much simpler
if it were-not all those strange
girls. Where ever do they come
from with their bright and earnest
little faces? Now be calm—nice
sharp pencils, nice crisp typewrit-
ten lists, nice neat seating plans,
and probably they’re’ all awfully
nice girls. The doors may stick a
little but that is undoubtedly owing
to the fact that they don’t open in
the right direction.

There are the girls who have the

Faith-Reason Conflict
Denied by Dr. Adler

Continued from Page One
to be aware of God without the help
of faith.
Greek philosophy was never con-
cerned with the faith-reason pro-





blem, which can occur only when|.

some men claim to have received
divine revelatian.
Dr. Adlar poinfed out, the thought
of the ancient philosgphers was
added to by the Middle Ages. Dur-
ing this later period, reason was
considered to be the human power
for knowing the nature of things,
a power distinct from the senses,
yet cooperative with them. It was
presumably composed of under-
standing, science, and wisdom. It
was thought, however, to be limited
by its own processes.

Faith was defined as an act, not a}

' power, of knowing, differing from
the other faculties of the mind in
that: it is \ngt rational and must
therefore depend on supernatural
matter for its meaning. , It belongs
to man alone, the medieval thinkers
contended, because animals are be-
low reason and angels are created
knowing all they can know. Faith
is the kind of knowledge men have
as a result of revelation supernatu-
ral in origin and reception. Its
primary object is not to determine
God’s existence, which is knowable
by reason, but to understand God
as revealing himself to man.

Five genera] positions. have..been

taken about the-faith-reason~ pro-|

blem since the founding of Chris-
tianity. The first, held by the early
Chureh fathers and mystics, was
the absolute supremacy of faith,
the second, the Augustinian belief
in the primacy but insufficiency of
faith. Abelard held the thitd view
that reason may be used to demon-
strate everything and that these
demonstrations may occasionally be
substituted for faith. The absolute
supremacy of reason was the fourth
view, and this was followed by St.
Thomas’ declaration that both rea-
son and faith have importance and

wanderlust, the girls who prefer to
remain incognito,. the girls who
never come, the girls who go slyly
from course to course dropping out
just as the monitor is beginning to
turn to them as old friends. There
are girls who like to sit in a differ-
ent seat every day, who dive under
the desk at the monitor’s approach,
who crouch beneath: the window
seat. There are the girls who
change the way of doing their hair,
who paint their faces, who wear
capes, and wimples, and knee length
woolen stockings in quite successful
efforts to be confusing.

The one consolation is that one
does get on a more intimate ‘basis
with. the professors. There are
cosy little chats with them, usually
prefaced by the stern remark, ‘‘Are
You the monitor?” And of course,
if one is really lucky one gets to
have a pet class. It’s usually a
nice-large one tucked away some-
where on the ground floor of Tay-
lor. As our heroine opens the door
she is immediately made to feel at
home by an amiable tittering.
Sometimes the professor enters into
the spirit of comraderie and says
heartily “Do come in, monitor, and
shut the door or we'll all be blown
right out of the classroom.” His
most effective greeting, to be sure,
Fis that malicious compound of good
advice and pessimism, “Be certain
now that you make doubly sure be-
fore you. mark anyone absent.”
(Applause and cries of ‘hear,
hear.” They all know what that

means.) It’s a swell job, really,
and more fun than a barrel of
quizzes. You never know what’s

going to turn up next.

Transfers Report

On English Colleges

Oxford, {London Universities
Stress’ Specialization

In One Field





The transfer arriving most re-
cently comés from Norway without
clothes or English, the story runs.
Miss. Bissi Smith appeared at|
Rockefeller Saturday; October 22,
fully equipped, distinguished from
others only by speaking slightly
better than the natives. Miss Smith

has studied one year at Oxford and
one at the London School of Eco-
nomics, transférring this year as a
junior majoring in. economics.

After an interview with Miss
Smith, we talked to Miss Madeline
Lerner who landed. shortly before
the opening of college. Miss Ler-
ner is an American but has spent
12 years in England, studying at
London University last year. She
is a sophomore this year and has
not, as yet, decided her major»

Comparing their notes on English,
colleges, we learned that the sharp-
est contrasts between the English
University and Bryn Mawr appeaw
in the more specialized work and
greater independence of the English
college and increased campus ac-
tivities of Bryn Mawr.

The Oxford and London college
career lasts three years, of, which

‘the first year is taken up by_a num-

ber of required subjects and the
second and third are devoted exclu
sively to the major. Only a few
courses are taken each year so
that each.may be studied inten-
sively. The English favor speciali-
zation because more ground is cov-
ered within the field, and thorough-
ness in one subject teaches the stu-
dent the meaning of thoroughness
and gives her methods and tech-
niques which she can follow later
in any other field.

Independence is also stressed.
There are no examinations except
those at the end of the first and
third years which count exclusively
for the degree. The relationship
between professor and student is
more impersonal. Attendance at
classes is not required at Oxford,
and the 60 per cent attendance reg-
ulation at London is very lax. If
the leeture is boring no one attends.
For instance, a Physics professor
was dull. The first day the -class
was jammed, the second it was half
full, and the third a quarter full,
and on the fourth there were only
three students. The next lecture
was not given, as the professor her-
self failed to attend.

This independence, though profit-
able for those students who are en--
grossed in their subject, is harmful
for immature students. They are
likely to fritter away the year in
aimless reading if they are not
guided in their selection of the in-
numerable suggested references.
Supervision is attempted by vari-
ous methods: the tutorial system in
Oxford, and advisors and seminars
in London. : The tutor is a gradu-
ate with First Class Honors in the
same field as the student, who sug-



Freshmen Scavengers Heckle Faculty;
Find Fenwick for “The Funniest Thing”



On Friday night the senior class
gave a scavenger hunt for the
freshmen. From their headquar-
ters in the Gym they sent the 50-
odd freshmen out in groups of five
to scour the countryside for such

bottle, a flannel nightshirt, and a
three-foot spoon. In the last case
the seniors had a golf stick in
mind, but most freshmen settded
the question by attaching yard-
sticks to spoons. When. the hour-
and-a-half time limit was up, the
teams gathered again in the Gym
| to lay their trophies before the
judges, Miss Meigs,. Mr. Sprague,
and Grace Fales) ig

Most of the seilides specified had
been found by fearly every team
so the judges would have had
great difficulty with their decision
if it “had not been for the last
item on theglist, “The Funniest
Thing.” Among the contributions
on this score were two Bryn Mawr
firemen in full regalia who proved
themselves right at home by slid-
ing down the pole in the corner of

the Gym; another group produced -
a mirror and held it before. the
judges, eliciting the comment from
Dr. Sprague that they deserved
the booby prize. The decision fin-
ally fell to the team that brought

articles as a 1902 penny, a whisky*sWMy. Fenwick dressed.as Chamber-

lain, bearing the famous black um-
brella. _They were rewarded with
candied apples, and then ice cream
and cookies were served to every-
one.

The winning team seems to have
received the full cooperation of the
faculty. When in search of two
red hairs they happened on, Mr.
Steele, who nobly contributed to the
cause. The list also included a
kiddy car arid Jo’s signature. The
former erat caused great
trouble for ‘the Wellses, who were
finally driven to post a “No Kiddy-
car” sign on the door. Jo was
hounded from one end, of the
campus to the other and was heard
remonstrating with one group, “I
don’t put my name to anything.
Almost got put in jail, for that
once,”



a quiz on the work which is. sup-
posed to be done during the long
vacations. Advisors require only
six essays a year.

Campus life is practically non-
existent, since the halls, or colleges,
are widely scattered through the
town, each college, on the whole,
specializing in one particular field.
Clubs partly fill in‘the lack of unity.
They cover practically every im-
aginable topic. Especially active is
the debating club, where two promi-
nent speakers talk each week on
current events, followed by general
discussion. Dances are held every
Saturday night at London Univer-
sity.

Student government does not
exist. The college officials control
all such matters. In Oxford girls
must get permission to go out after

every night except for three late
nights. per term when they may
stay out until 12. Caps and gowns
must be worn to lectures, and for
examinations a black suit, black tie,
black stockings and. shoes.

Since Bisse Smith is Norwegian,
something of Norwegian colleges
was also learned. The Norwegian
high school continues as far as
a junior college in this country, so
that girls are between 19 and 20
when they graduate. Nevertheless
the college career is extremely long,
varying from four years for a his-
tory major, to six for a modern
language major to ten for a doctor.
There are no tutors, no residence
halls, ho restrictions.

Studies in Iconography:
Humanistic Themes in the Art
Of the Renaissance
By Erwin Panofsky * $3.50
Reviewed by Elizabeth Pope, ’40
Critics and historians of art
sometimes tend to let their studies
fall into two tnhappy categories:
the rhapsodical: given over to per-







sonal opinion and ecstatie re-crea-
tion. of sense-impressions; and the
abstruse: made up of scholarly
technicalities, too obscure to inter-
est the average student. Only very

rarely does_a book appear which
fills a crying general need, which.

citement. of exploration .and new
discovery; which is. meticélous with-
out pedantry, and _ enthusiastic
without gush. Among the greatest
of these belongs Erwin Panofsky’s
Studies In Iconology, originally
presented at Bryn Mawr as the
Flexner Lectures of 1938:

“Iconography,” according to Dr.
Panofsky, “is that branch of the
history of art which concerns itself
with the subject matter or meaning
of works of art, as opposed to their
form.” Within this definition, he
distinguishes three levels of inter-
pretation: primary or natural sub-
ject matter, factual or expressional,
constituting the sphere of artistic
motifs; secondary or conventional
subject matter, the sphere of im-
ages, stories and allegories; and
finally intrinsic meaning or content,
the sphere of symbolical values,
“the basie principles which underlie
the presentation of motifs.”

One of Leonardo’s frescos, for
instance, represents, in the simple,
primary sense, a group of men
seated about a dinner table. In the
secondary or iconographical sense,
it stands for the Last Supper. But
when taken as evidence ot Leonar-
do’s pérsonality, the civilization of
the Renaissance, or the attitude of
a religion, it enters the third fleld
of “iconographical synthesis.”

Applying these principles to the
iconography ofthe Renaissance
Dr. Panofsky discusses the devel-
opment of the concepts of “Father
Time” and “Blind Cupid’; the in-
Juence of Neo-Platonism on Michel-
angelo and Titian; and the inter-
relationship of a cycle of paintings
by Piero di Cosimo. The original-
‘ty and importance of the conclu-
sions he draws in these few sub-
jects alone are enough to prove the
validity and efficacy of his system.

For example, by a process of. in-
duction and reasoning as fascinat-
ing to read as a detective-story, he
determines that the di, Cosimo
group is not an unrelated series of
isolated panels, as has been as-
sumed, but a coherent account of
the early history of man, reflecting
the philosophy of the time and the
peculiar. personal beliefs of the ar-
tist. Even more important is his
proof that Neo-Platonism influ-
enced the design of both the Medici
tomb and the first monument plan-
ned for Pope Julius. According to
Dr. Panofsky’s reconstruction of
the ofiginatplan, the tomb was to
have ‘been built in three levels, the
first ornamented with the famous
bound slaves,.symbolizing the ani-
mal passions; the second containing
the Moses and three other figures,
representing the active and contem-

Marinatos Speaks
On Minoan Beliefs,
Thermopylae Digs



Common Room, November 4.—
“Crete is the classic land of the
cave-cult,® stated Dr. Spiridion
Marinatos, in his lecture on Cretan
Cults. and Minoan Survivals in Re-
ligion. The cave-cult is one of the

most persistent motives in religious
mystery, lasting through all the
changes of time, civilization, and
religion, from the beginning of Cre-
tan civilization in 3000 B. C, to 6
A. D., im the Roman ‘times.

The cave-cult originated either in
the belief that the suprenig goddexs
dwelt in the center of the earth, o
in superstitions concerning the s
lactites and stalagmites found, in
most of the caves. Since the Cre-
tans knew no scientific explanations’
for such forms, they believéd therh
to be miraculous, perhaps living
things turned to stone.

The legend of the god born in
the cave is found in many religions,
including even Christianity. Rhe:

ra,,the Persian god, was born and
worshipped in a cave. St. Luke, the
most learned of the Gospel writers,
tells-of Christ’s birth ina cave
near Bethlehem.

Digs at Thermopylae

Deanery, November 5.—In his
second lecture, on the Recent Exca-
vations at Thermopylae, Dr. Marin-
atos described his findings and said
that they corroborated the account
of the three-day battle found in
Herodotus. Remains of the Phocian
wall, which supplemented the natu-
ral defenses of the steep cliffs, have
been uncovered,. and arrowheads
have been excavated on the prom-
ontory of Colonnus, -where the
Greeks made their last desperate
stand.
The excavations were made nec-
essary by changes in the land for-
mation. Since the date of the battle,
the sea has been pushed back, and
the whole pass gradually covered
by a layer of stone 15 feet thick,
beneath whick one strikes water.



borne by a laughing and-a-weeping
angel. The whole was’ intended to
depict the three levels of Neo-Pla-
tonic existence: the reason and
spirit dominating the instincts. In
the sphere of pure art criticism,
this revelation of the artist’s origi-
nal intention should be important
in leading to a proper evaluation
of the character and nature of the
surviving figures, especially the
slaves.

Such discoveries as these do not
only prove the author’s contention
that “the identification and analysis
of iconography is’ not a discipline
subservient to the interpretation of
the works of art themselves, but is
an integral part of the process.”
They also justify these particular
studies and explain their fascina-
tion.

Rosemont’s Second



November
third team

6.—The_ Bryn Mawr
remained undefeated
when it swamped Rosemont Col-
lege second team 6-0. The Bryn
Mawrters showed even more fight
than in previous games, perhaps
bocause of the prevailing low tem-
perature. The team play was ex-
cellent, the backfield conspicious in
feeding the ball up to the for-
wards, who then shared the goals
between them. Strauss, °43, ac-
counted fgfMehree, while Martin,
’43, Hardenberg, ’43, and Fulton,
43, each scored one. Although
the forwards, ‘collectively, showed
up well in the offensive, Harden-
berg seemed to carry the ball most

‘often into the opponent’s striking
‘circle.

The team’s. excellent play
raises the ‘question. ‘whether an
official Bryn Mawr third team ver-
sus Second team game should not

be played!

Rosemont’s Varsity
With Score of 2-1

Bryn Mawr, November 6.—The
Bryn Mawr secgnd team, facing
both the cold and the fast- approach-
ing darkness, staved off additional
scoring by Rosemont College’s Var-
sity, t) win at 2-1. The first half
was marked by long hard drives,
intercepted passes and golden op-
portunities to score. Hollis, 42, de-
fended the goal against many at-
tacks with a certainty that was re-
assuring to the rest of the backfield.

The store at tre half-time was
still 0-0.

The-tone-of_ the playing changed
radically in the following half.
Drives found their mark, dodges
were executed with success, and th’
ball stayed in the opponent’s half
ef the field for longer pericds.
Captain Woolsey. flicked in the first



. score after a general skirmish in

front of the goa’. She was fol-
lowed a few minutes later by
Bechtold, ’42, whose beautiful wing-
shot flew past the goalie. Although
descending darkness made the play
a bit wild, in other respects the
geme was one of the best and fast-
est seen this year.

Who Rent: Players|



The

game between the Bryn
Mawr. Varsity and the Merion
Cricket Club was practically a

family affair, as the Merionites
arrived with seven players instead
of the usual eleven. The Bryn
Mawrters loaned to fill the gaps
were forceful. Denny, ’48, as
Merion goal, repeatedly staved off
the forwards’ attacks, allowing a
small percentage only to pass her.
The impressive number of goals
was due to unprecedented push on
the part of the forwards, to their
recovering, of the ball after an un-
suctéessful attempt and ultimately
ucceeding. Rambo, ’43, was out-
standing in this respect and led
the scoring with fouk tallies. Mat-
thai, ’43; and Howard, ’40, each
were responsible for three, making
a total score of 10-0 in favor of

Bryn Mawr.
