Work of 1938 :

PRIZE FILM SHOWN
BY MR. MACKINNON

Music ‘Room, February 14.—Th
prize film, Experimentally Produce
Neurotic Behavior in the Rat, by’Dr.
Norman R. Maier, of the University
of Michigan, was shown and discussed
by Donald W. MacKinnon, of the
psychology department. ‘When Dr.
Maier gave. the film with its accom-
panying paper before the American
Association for the Advancement of
S&ience in December, it was awarded
the annual prize of 1000 dollars as
the most worthwhile report at the
meeting.

’ The importance of this achievement
lies in. the successful production of





strictly controlled laboratory condi-
tions. This allows a simplification of
the life story of the organism’ so
that cause and effect can be scientific-| .
ally analyzed. *

In the rats so far used, “nervous
breakdowns” have appeared in only
four. In these the neurotic symptoms
are brought on when the rat is in a
situation where only
negative forces act upon it. It has
no learned mode of response and” the
conflicting forces. upon it are some-
where nearly balanced. The rats that
developed no neurotic symptoms either

showed some new mode of response.

One of. the rats that “broke down”
was shown using passive resistance in
the baffling situation. Suddenly it
jumped from its perch and raced about
the laboratory floor with a curious
hopping motion. Its behavior ‘was
stiff, and quite distinct from that
shown of the normal rats. When Dr.
Maier picked it up it appeared to be
quite oblivious of its surroundings.
He-was able to-mold it into a ball or
stretch it out into positions which it
held. The film then showed that:
brother rats which had not been
through these experiences would not
permit such treatment.

M. Alston Writes and Directs
Eighteenth Century Satire,
‘Premature Lilies’ ©





Wyndham, February 18.—Prema-
ture Lilies, written and directed by
Mary Niven Alston, 41, was presented
Saturday night in Wyndham for the
benefit of the Theater Workshop.

A satire’ on the formality of life
and manners in the eighteenth cen-
tury, it showed a highly amusing pic-
ture of a young girl pretending to
pine away from love to satisfy a fam-
ily who would have thought her “lack-

ing in sensibility” had she behaved|]-
otherwise after a broken engagement:}

Mr. Chilton (Virginia Nichols), ar-
ranges a sensible marriage for his
daughter Isabella (Mary. Alston).
She, however, not properly appreeia-
tive of her good fortune, contrives to
get rid of the young man, one Jere-
miah* Somerset (Peggy Squibb), by
confiding to him that she was a biga-
mist although both husbands are now

dead. He, much shocked, terminates]

neurotic behavior in animals under};

house to avoid a duel with Mr. Chil-
ton.

Isabella pines for two days. A
handsome doctor, Babs Black, ’41, who

is called in discovers the ruse but}

agrees to be an accomplice, providing
Isabella with food and at the same
time giving alarming reports to the
family.

Scholarships Benefit
Outstanding Students





Dean Manning Lays Emphasis
On Scholars’ Contribution
To Community



Music Room, February 17.—Dean
Manning, speaking in chapel on
Scholarships, stated the college policy
with regard to awards as simply to

increase the number of outstanding| -

students in the college. It is not a
matter of charity, but an asset to
both college and community.

Different from the British practice,
Ameriean colleges award scholarships
not on a basis of supremacy in com-
petitive examinations alone, but try
to make the money go as far as pos-
sible. The college investigates the
need of the student, asking those who
can pay their own way to do so, in
order that the certain number of bet-
ter students who need financial as-

sistance can go ahead without too

Midwinter ‘Lantern,’ With Saw Exceptions,
Shows Decadence, Unhealthy. Subjectivity



(Specially contributed by M. Di-
mock, ’39.)
The general mood of the creative

writing in the Midwinter issue of the
Lantern is cheerless. But since this
despair is evidently caused by no ac-

tual tragic situations, the writings

appear as so many mournful, esoteric,
slightly pathological _ hallucinations.

The authors do not deal with subjects |

confronting them, but spin lines and
more lines around an amorphous sense
of themselves. They seem in general
to be reading their states of minds
into any situation that comes along,
in fact to be so absorbed in their own
outlooks that they find it unnecessary
sto treat these. outlooks in terms of

remedy or a plot. é
_ Hester ‘Corner’s Captions for Photo-
graphs is simply that. It i worthy
of note as the one eae aks in
the Lantern. I find the little mono-
logue Miss Corner directs to her idol
at. the close of the poem slightly out
of kéeping With the rest’ of the tone.
But on the whole it is amusing. and
unique. Miss Corner’s other poem
For the People of Knossos, whether
she intended so or not, comes. very

os



ee to being a satirical propitiation

of the interminable critics of Lantern
poetry. Its single theme, clearly de-
veloped first, then summarized in the
manner of the Reader’s Digest,
“Therefore their: method of knowl-
: edge
Is to learn
_ Objects by their limits,”
leaves nothing, obscure. The repeti-
tion of such non-visual words ‘as
limit-and infinity give the whole Work
the air of a thesis rather than a

@

poem. .

Dorothy Counselman’s Meeting and
Identity is a slow-moving statement
of the genesis of an unusual relation-
ship. The strange union that trans-
cends.space and time isvitself the in-
teresging thing, and a. treatment of |

the parting would—be_of greater: in-
terest to me. than the itemized, chro-
nological account.of how the parting
came to be. Miss Counselmén has an
idea of this relationship, but never
attempts to convey it as such to her
readers; she observes how and that it
occurred, byt does not write ‘from

withim either eharacter. The whole
is a situation which is never made to
seem possible, much less to have hap-
pened. 2

Committee to Aid
Refugees is Formed



Permanent Group to Supervise
Fund-Raising and Placing
Of Students _



The Intercollegiate’ Committee To
Aid Student Refugees has been set
up in New York to “coordinate and
extend the fund-raising work being
done by colleges throughout the coun-

try for the purpose of securing schol-
arships and maintenance for refugee
students. “In its first progress re-
port, which has just been issued, the
-committee-outlines*the work of-vari-
ous colleges to date in raising schol-
‘arships for German refugee students.
At. present, thirty-three.men’s. and
women’s colleges throughout the
United States are active in raising
money, and many of them, including
Bryn Mawr, already have one or more
students on their campuses:
The committee hopes to establish
a National Fund to be raised from
“interested organizations, founda-
tions, individuals and colleges.” This
fund would facilitate a reallocation of
funds in those cases where a college
can provide tuition, but not living
expenses. Colleges which can. raise
money, but which, for some reason,
cannot take a student on campus, can
be sure of having it usefully applied
if they add to the National Fund.
A number of colleges, the report
continues, have, in order to help as
many students as possible, budgeted
very closely on tuition and living ex-
penises. The Fund will therefore be
prepared to meet such emergencies as

|\Salerno Was Center

of Medical Cures

Ancient Traditions Were Basis
Of Medicine in Middle Ages
Says Dr. Corner





Common Room, February 14.—The
development of. medieval medicine, at
Salerno in Italy was traced by Profes-
sor George*Corner, of the University
of Rochester, i in a lecture given by the
Latin Journal Club and sponsored by
the Department of Biology.

Salerno, stated Dr. Corner, was the
logical place for the great school of
medieval medicine to appear. Situ-
ated in central Italy, with a good cli-
mate and healing springs, it formed
a natural center for the Greek and
Roman medical traditions surviving in
Southern Italy as well as _ those
remaining in the Arabic school’ from
the South, the Arabic-Spanish school
from the West, and the Byzantine
school from the East.

The. first. great Salernian scholar
was Constantine the African, who
lived in the eleventh eentury. He
knew Latin, Arabic and. probably
some Greek. Altogether, he trans-
lated twenty Arabic medical works, in-
cluding the Pantegny, an encyclopedia
pf Galenic medicine. Although gar-
bled and slightly degraded, it came
as a revelation to the physicians of
Salerno. They began to. teach and

String Quartet Gives
Concert in Deanery



Varied Program by Miss Rice

(Specially contributed by Helen

Garth, graduate student.)

Deanery, February 19.—Bryn Mawr
again realizes its great good fortune
in having Miss Helen Rice, class of
23 and warden .of Rhoads, on its
campus this winter.. For besides her
organization of groups of students
for playing chamber music together,
Miss Rice and three of her friends
gave a- delightful concert of string
quartet music last Sunday afternoon
at the Deanery.

The quartet consisted of Helen
Rice and Florence Duvall, violins;
Mary Fairchild, viola; and Ruth Mc-
Gregor, ’cello.

The first quartet played was the
Haydn F minor, opus 20, no. 5, in
which Miss Rice took the first violin
part, and Miss Duvall the second. In
the first. movement, the function of
the three lower parts is largely ac-
companiment for the florid and melo-

her third lecture here, On the War

this reason she/believes ‘of the utmost

Required Subjects







(This article is the first in a peries
of interviews in which we hope to
show why certain subjects are re-
quired in the college curriculum,)

Interview with Mrs. De Laguna,
head of the Department of Philosophy,

In general, gaid Mrs, De Laguna,
|the purpose of required subjects is to
initiate young people into the cylture
time. This culture may be
into the great fields of his-
art. and philosophy.





of literature, are required in second-
ary schools; but this is not true of
philosophy. Thus, if philosophy were
not required at college one of the
great fields of human learning would
be left untouched. :
But, to be more specific, while the
student a¢cepts required English with-
out question, he feels that a required
philosophy course needs justification.
First year philosophy is, in fact,
optional in many universities. This
justification, thinks Mrs. De Laguna,
lies in the fact that philosophy oecu-
bpies a central and connecting position
ix human knowledge; it is closely re-
lated with such different subjects as
science, history, art and religion.
At Bryn Mawr, a historical survey
of philosophy is given because the
history pf thought is an integral part
of the whole history of culture. The
great thinkers have not only influenced
the course of: philosophy; they have
provided ideals for science, theory for
art and politics. It is impossible to
undexstand the doctrines of the Christ-
ian church without a knowledge of the
history of philosophical thought.

sense a specialized study, it has vital
connections,

Thus far Mrs. De Laguna had
shown the importance of philosophy
as a factor in the culture of the mod-
ern world. But, she said, there is
another aspect of the study of philoso-
phy, more important, ultimately, than
the first.

Every one of us harbors beliefs and
makes use of ideas of which he is un-
aware. Some of these beliefs and
ideas are fundamental, essential to
sane living and valid thinking; some
of them are mere traditional preju-
dice. It is the business of philosophy
to make us aware of these uncon-
scious beliefs and ideas in order that
we may examine them, It is only by
learning to think philosophically that
we become self-conscious and pen

critical.

Grandma Called It Carnal, by. Bertha
Damon.
The casual reader of Bertha Dam-

Qn’ Sy, childhood reminiscences is con-
scious of nothing but sheer. delight in

“the indomitable figure of Grandma

Griswold.- She had to support herself,
her daughter, and her two small
grandchildren-°on an ‘insignificant
penbion of twenty-seven. dollars a
monthy. She had to live in 4 little

New England village, aptly named
North Stonefield, where 9 woman wag

expected to-be a drudge and a gossip,

an ignoramus and a cooky In the face
of all this, Grandma Griswold refused
to gossip, refused to cook, refused to
drudge, and refused to install modern
conveniences. She. insisted on living
a life patterned as closely as possible
on that designed by Thoreau, Ruskin,
Kant and Saint Paul.

It is this last fact that. makes
Grandma Called It Carnal interesting
to other than casual readers, The
sociologist’ or the eritic of Thoreau
and Ruskin’s thought will find in it the
record of an earnest and whole-heart-
ed effort to make that thought actual
and significant, to base an entire life
upon it. Bertha Damon’s biography
shows almost cruelly the tragic flaws.
in it: the “leisure” based on the hard
work of every other member of the

family, the “picturesqueness” won by —

inconvenience .and back-breaking la-
bor, the “frugality” that meant the
absence of cooked food and fire in
the bedrooms, Against. all this, she
sets her grandmother’s serenity, her
keen awareness of beauty and the in-
tegration of her spirit. In this one
particular case, the achievement seems
to have been worth the sacrifice.

CURRENT EVENTS











(Gleaned from Mr. Fenwick.)

President Roosevelt has left on an-
other fishing trip, after his statement
about the sale of airplanes to France.
Airplane factories are now experi-
menting and preparing for quantity
production in an emergency. The
President said that he would impose
no more taxes on big business, and
that he would balance the budget: if
Congress would say what items of ex-
pense to omit. He is watching man-
oeuvers in the Carribbean where the
fleet. is practicing to defend the
Panama Canal and the East Coast:

The Brazilian Foreign Minister this
week visited Washington. He stated
that Brazil is an ally of the United
States. Mr. Fenwick described Bra-
zil as facing the twofold problem of
Nazi propaganda and a large export-
able surplus of coffee. Germany will
buy the coffee in return for Brazil’s
purchase of German agricultural ma-
chinery. These barter agreements,
\however, are contrary| to the Hull
trade policy.

Mr. Fenwick then turned to Spain
and the question of whether Franco’s
demands for unconditional surrender
will be met. We can only hope that
moderation underlies Franco’s state-
ment that he will punish common law
crimes,

In the Far East, said Mr. Fenwick,
Japan prepares to attack Russia _ if
Germany should go to war. A war
with Russia and the occupation of
Siberia would give Japan an excuse
to withdraw from China. It would
also rid Japan of Vladivostok, the air-
plane base which causes Japan. ex-
treme uneasiness.

Mr. Fenwick concluded with a dis-
cussion of the problem facing the
College of Cardinals in the election

of a new Pope. Will he be an Italian, ©

German, Austrian,-Frenchman, Eng-
lishman or Canadian? Will he be a
liberal, interested primarily in jus-
tice, -liberty and -social reform?, Or

PUBLIC OPINION







February 20, 19389.
To the Editor of the College News.
More than three-fourths ‘of the

American people, according te the

Gallup Poll, hope for a Loyalist vic-
tory in Spain. Yet they are not ex-
erting their full pressure in the cam-
paign for lifting the embargo, a meas-
ure which would insure that. victory.
Qne cause for their inertia is the at-
titude of defeatism in the Democra-
cies which has existed throughout the
war, but has inereased since the loss
of Barcelona.

What has given rise to the belief
that the Spanish Republic is doomed,
that our help would come too late?
Surely the facts point to no such:con-
clusiofi. The strength of Spain is by
no. means broken. “We are deter-
mined to fight on. We still have ten
provinces, five hundred miles. of coast,
ten million anhabitants and a good
fleet-—why should we ask for peace?”
said a spokesman for the Spanish
Embassy in London. General Moles-
worth, British military observer and

, member of the Non-Intervention Com-

mittee, estimates’ that - the Central
Front, around Madrid and Valencia,
can. hold out for three or four years.
The: Spanish people, their government
and their army, welded into closer
unity than ever before, are preparing”
to make any sacrifice rather “than
surrender. If the Loyalists are given
their legal right to buy arms, they
will not only hold the Central Front,
but will drive the invaders out of all
Spain. Such a defeat for fascism
would mean new strength for de-
moeracy throughout the world’: the: re-
lease of France from imminent dan-
ger of attack, the stimulation of pro-
gressive forces in France and Great
Britain, the retardation of fascist ac-
tivities in the Americas, and the
threat of collapse to the tottering)
economies of Italy and Germany. A
Loyalist victory in Spain would do



But if the people of the United
States are misled into. thinking the
Eoyalist cause hopeless, they will

‘| make “no move te aid the Republic.

This is. exactly what the spreaders
of defeatism want; for they represent
powerful sections of American finance
capital, allied with German and
Italian fascism,. Such men,as the Du-

in the aggressions of, Hitler and Mus-
golini; and Morgah is closely con-
nected with British banking, which is
linked with Rome and Berlin. In
order to promote these interests, they
make every attempt. to prevent the
NMRmerican people from using their
power to stop fascism. Through their
‘spokesmen—Herhert Hoover, Senators
Vandenberg, Nye,. Johnson and others
—the reactionaries. try to block every
move of the Roosevelt. administration
toward a, foreign policy of concerted
self-defense by the democracies. They
use pacifism, isolation and appease-
ment as a blind. for granting unlimited
concessions to .the aggressors. De-
featism, which leads to complete pas-
sivity of the democrati¢-forces, finds
a logical place among these weapons
of reaction.

The influence of the press in foster-
ing defeatism has shown itself un-
=, during the past few weeks,
when collapse of the Republic and
surrender to France: were anticipated:
daily im the headlines. Reports
slurred over the unshaken resistance
of the Central Front while they mag-
nified groundless rumors of the defeat
and disunity of the Loyalist forces.
Now, when ~évents have disproved
these rumors, it is -clear that the
Daily Worker is the only paper which
has given a consistently truthful ac-
count of the situation in Spain. By
accurately reporting the war, by ex-
posing and analyzing the causes of
defeatism, and by its campaign to
lift the embargo, the Daily Worker
is serving democracy in Spain and in
America.,

circulated and signed a pe-

principle of non-partisan relief, has
made large contributions to Loyalist
Spain. We hope that this good work
will continue.

Finally, we urge that every organi-

every student write or wire President
Roosevelt and their Senators and Con-
gressmen, urging that the embargo be
immediately lifted. Only the strong-
est and most persistent pressure on
our government will force the ré-

Republic and defeat the pro-fascist
bloc within the United States.

Elizabeth Pope Proves
Lying to be Justifiable

Socrates” Contention
Before Philosophy .Club





Common Room, February 15.—At a

meeting of the Philosophy Club,
Elizabeth Pope, ’40, read a paper
called The Philosophy of -Lying, writ-
teri in the form. ofa dialogue between

two students, with a Philosopher as
arbitrator. Miss Pope proved Soc-
rates’ contention, stated in the Repub-
lic, that lying is justifiable under cer-
tain circumstances, but only whert the
lie is “the closest attainable copy of
the truth.”

Miss Pape’s first student, who is
eventually worsted, maintains that

lie is told to avoid unpleasantness.
wire idealistically that the para-
graph in which Socrates justifies some
lies should. have been omitted from the
Republic because it “expressed opin-
ions unworthy of Socrates . .. and
because it was irrelevant. to the aim
of all philosophical discussion,, which
is to identify and value not lies, but
truth.”

The second student proves that lying
has a close relationship to truth as we
know it, which, according to the
Phaedo, is only an‘ approximation of
absolute truth. Therefore, all truth is
to some degree a lie, and if we wish
to form a standard, we must select
that which conforms best. to our notion
of absolute truth. - It is permissible to
lic when the lie comes closer. to this
notion than the truth would.

The second student shows that lying
to one’s enemies. may be - righteous,
by refuting the first studerit’s conten-
tion that such a lie is told to avoid
unpleasantness sto oneself. A man
may permissibly lie to save himself,
ror it is his duty to preserve his body,
if the lie “does not involve the nega-
ion of an absolute truth.”

The philosopher concludes by saying
that the principle of lying is not sup-

portable but “only. the abrogation of

Salerno Was Center

Of Medieval Cures

books, such as the Codex Salernicanus,
on the translations of Constantine.

Internal-medicine-was-taken partly
frdém Constantine, partly from Byzan-
tium, and was based entirely upon the
doctrine of the four humors: blood,
phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile.
Health.was supposed to depend on
the alternation of these humors.
Sickness arose from too much or too
little of one or: another, and medicine
was devoted to.finding out the condi-
tion and corrécting it. For excess of
blood, bleeding was used; in other
cases, drugs, cathartics, or special
diets. In Salerno, at least, this sys-
tem was remarkably free from vulgar
superstition, and medication was sen-
sible and not too Violent.

Surgery was taken chiefly from
classical Greek teaching. There was
much military surgery, especially for
removing arrows and healing frac-
tures: of the skull. The skull was
drilled, and the depressed area lifted.
Operations on the eyes were also com-
mon, particularly for cataract and
ophthalmia. Tumors were removed if
they were sufficiently evident, but
there was no abdominal surgery,
although the physicians knew -how to
treat abdominal wounds and even her-
mia. They could also - manipulate
common dislocations, such as that of
the shoulder, an@, deal with simple, or
sometimes even compound, fractures.

Dr. Kennedy Demonstrates
Folk Songs and Dances



English Ballads Sung Humorously,
Audience Joins Dancing



Gymnasium, February 16. — Dr.
Kennedy, of London, head of the Eng-
lish Folk Dancing and Song Society,
gave a demonstration of songs and
dances, in the gymnasium, to a large
group comprised of folk dancing en-
thusiasts from schools and clubs in
vac” vivanty,

Five songs sung in Dr. Kennedy’s
= ‘and original manner were

applauded. The first, J Gave
My Love a Cherry, was sent to him.
from Virginia during thé war to
cheer him up. It is a version of an
English song.

He sang next a song in Yorkshire
dialect about a man who went out on
Ulklamoor without his hat, caught a
cold and died. Men came ‘and buried
him on the moor, and the worms came
and ate him up, and the ducks came
and ate the worms, and the men came
and ate the ducks. ’

The ballad of Lord Randal was the
only sad song of the evening. The
dialogue of a mother and her son
who has been poisoned by his sweet-
heart..

Cheerfulness returned ‘with Lord
Nelson’s Praise, a hearty sea song,
whose tune serves for a jig, and for
the hymn Mississippi as well.

Hares on the Mountains, the last
‘song, was a series of similes compar-
‘ing young womén to hares -on the
‘mountains, ducks on the water, birds
in the bushes, and advising the young
men howW to capture them.

In the second part of his program
Dr. Kennedy first did an Oxfordshire
medicine dance that is part of the
spring festival at Easter time. It is
strenuous, since the dancers are sup-
posed to warm. the earth.

The dances Dr. Kennedy taught
were Hunting the Squirrel, a slow
figure-dance; Bonnets so Blue, a fast

tempo increased constantly.

The repertoire of English: -folk
dancers, Dr. Kennedy ‘explained, is
made up. of old seventeenth century
dances belonging to the many races
of English, modern folk dances, and
popular forms like the Virginia Reel
brought from other countries.

Most English dances come midway
between hot, fast Spanish dances and
the slow movement ina circle with
which the Scandanavians accompany
their singing. They have figures like
the Northern chain dances, called
“carols,” and quick hopping steps like
the German “‘tanzen.”



The treatment for insanity} -on- the
other hand, was. incredibly. super-
stitious. It consisted of trepanning
the brain so that the evil spirits said
te cause madness might escape.

The midwives and nurses of Salerno
were particularly skillful, and from
this fact arose the tradition that there
were women physicians in Salerno.
Actually, only one feminine name ap-
pears on all the records kept from the
Middle Ages, and there is no evidence
that the legend in general was true.

M idwinter ‘Lantern’
Shows ‘Decadence



Continued from Page One

Miss Counselman’s poem, Idea for
Action, a philosophical poem on the
relative merits of isolation and con-
tact, is another thesis-like work, kept
from being poetic by such bare words
as aspects, extension, and such lines
as, ong 4

“The synthesis of both is. unity.”
However, the poem has a point and
in parts conveys very truly what emo-
tion is involved in the problem, I
fail to see the connection between her
subject and the quotation from Hart
Crane. ,

Mr. Jackson’s Tune, by .Joan Gross,
is simply. a description of a man with
a tuneringing in™ his ears. “Miss
Gross has a good style and one wishes
that she had something more signifi-
«cant to say, or could somehow indicate
the significance of what she does say.

Marion Kirk’s' The Job is written
so imaginatively that the actually
meager subject has its maximum im-
portance. I like especially ‘the de-
scription of the skating-rink, in which
Miss Kirk’s metaphors are clever and
her picture clearly made.

Elizabeth Pope’s Landscape in Win-
ter, before storm,. has as a theme the
panic-striking fatefulness’ of a storm;}——-
|into which she has woven the possible

powerful onslaught. Her words are
strong, and her rhythm and rhyme-
scheme well-knit with her subject.

I feel myself unprecedently sympa-
thetic with the “interminable Lantern
critics” in attempting to criticize Miss
Renninger’s poem. It is perfectly in-
telligible, but, at the cost of a great
deal of thought of the kind one does
in handling a geometric proof. Her
words eventually do convey a struc-
tural picture, but that picture bears
no. relation to the significance of what
she is saying. The inflexible, tiring
quality of the thought-process, which
never can result in complete knowing,
is described = analogy and directly,

To Miss sea go the ai of
this issue, and also the most pro-

found criticism. Her story, The Ele-f

ment of Beauty, is extraordinarily
well-written. There is no break in the
forward movement. She seems to
have her characters so clearly created
before her that she has only to watch
them and there is no chance of her
introducing an extraneous element.
But her subject is unworthy of the
color and Beauty that she reads into
it. In attempting to give the. deca-
dence she describes a vast significance,
she has hung her characters on an
abstract theme which the story in no
way evidences. Miss Tucker’s ob-
servation of and insight into detail
should be extended to everything that
confronts her, instead of being limited
in scope and value to worthless: as-
pects of the world. Of her poem I
say the same, that- its “eolor and
beauty are out of all proportion to
its meaning. Her writing deals with
nothing which is strong or important,
and therefore takes on some of the
decadence of her subject matter.

When subjected to the test twice in
the same day the convulsions were
intensified the second time.

This “no escape” situation was led
up to by a process of training. The
rat was set upon a perch such that
if it knocked over one of two cards
with its nose it could obtain food.
One card was fixed and the other left
free. A pattern discrimination. was
soon learned between the markings on
the two cards. The rat always chose
the same card, in whichever ordey the
—ttwo-were—placed:

A second discPimination habit was
induced to supplant this by a random
arrangement of which card should be
fixed.. The rat learned to. jump. in
one direction consistently, assuming
that this would ultimately prove suc-
cessful. One rat jumped 200 times in
a fixed direction, although without
success. One persisted in a habit of
direction discrimination, although the
other card was already opened to the
food.

Rats thus trained are then present- |:

ed to a single window. If the card
is the pattern preference it may jump,
but if, both direction and pattern dis-
crimin&tions are negative, it refuses
to move. Here is a “no solution”
situation. It does not move until a
blast of air forces it to. The first

It was necessary to make the ani-

To the News:

The problem of fire ‘drills is par-
ticularly relevant just now by the
current article on school fires in the
Reader’s Digest. In Pembroke there
has not been a maid’s fire drill since
the.fall of 1987, At.that drill, no one
etook attendance, there was no list of
the maids in the hall that night, and

the subject was dropped, The maids
live at the top of the building, in the
place of most danger. It is'a niatter
of their own foresight if they know
where the exits are, and how to ope¥=
ate the extinguishers. Before Christ-
mas this year, a drill scheduled for
lunch tite “was ealied of TOF fear bf.
panie among the majds, but nothing
has been done to guard against this
in case’ of real fire, It:is a question
how well the. students could control
themselves if. the maids became hys-
terical. | vo ar panes

As students, we spend a large part
of our time in Taylor, The corridors
and stairs’ are: particularly narrow,
the fire escapes long, and slow to get
down without practice. There hag
been no fire drill-in Taylor this year,
There, was nonglagt year erakhe. two
years before that, which means that
no undergraduate on campus has the
faintest idea of how to get out.of. the
building, unless she has found out for
herself. There is no provision for
any sort of roll-call, ox system. of
runners to make sure the building is
empty, If-there.are adequate fire. ex-
tinguishers, as there must be for in-
surance purposes, I am sure the girls
neither know how to use them, or
‘where to find the nearest one,

The reading room in the. library
is another possble fire trap. The one
stairway is wooden, built ‘over the
junction of three drafts, and would
collapse leaving no exit from the read-
ing room, if the door on the south end
is locked. It seems to.me that door
should always be open, and some spe-
cial protection should be provided for
the-main-stairway. —

It seems to me that the student fire
committee should be efficiently checked
on by some informed and responsible
part of the college.administration. It
is not a matter for self-government
alone; but concerns every angle of
the college as a whole. If, in a bad
fire, lives were lost on campus, the ex-
isting negligence would be to blame,
and ‘the heavy responsibility of fire
precaution should not rest on the
shoulders of only a few girls.

We have had a fire on campus once
in each of the last ten years; it is
no remote possibility. Considering
that the college is larger than most
secondary schools, its »uildings more
subject to a serious fire, the relative
state of fire prevention on the campus
is a menace, and a disgrace. It could
be remedied by- prompt and energetic
action, and I am sure we would
rather co-operate before than after a
disaster.

Very sincerely,

‘Marrua C, Kan.

powers without the consent of Con-
gress more for the purpose of impos-
ing a strong country’s will upon a
weaker one than for the legitimate ne-
cessity of pratecting a nation’s citi-
zens on foreign soil and on the high
seas. This socalled ‘Dollar . Diplo-
macy” arising out of a misconception
of the Monroe Doctrine has been the
chief reason for the antagonism to
the United States in South America.

_In the Good Neighbor Policy, begun
fir y President Hoover and _ Sec-

ary Stimson, but carried much fur-
the President Roosevelt and Sec-
retary Hull, the Monroe Doctrine has
at last been f#estated on its original
basis, This doctrine protests against
further colonization over here by
Europe, enforcement of foreign sys-
tems on American governments and}
any other infringement on the inde-
pendence of states in the western
hemisphere. .

Thus the recent Pan-American Con=
gress and the two resulting treaties
recognize that the independent integ-
rity of all the states of the western
hemisphere is of the utmost impor-
tance to international law, As yet
the latter is non-existent but before
‘eourts and police can be formed, Judge
Allen insists, the standards must be,
written. At Geneva the mistake was
made of creating the machinery first.

The United States still is, Judge
Allen’ pointed out, the only important
country in which the establishment
‘and maintenance of peace is the privi-
lege and obligation of the people.

vention, this Congressional power has
done much towards preventing our
executives from taking drastic action
in various instances such as the wished
for Mexican intervention, during the
conflict under Coolidge over the rights
of property.
Congress demanded an investigation
and learned that the Mexican customs
were justified by the old Spanish

Yet, through the misconception of
the Monroe Doctrine, the sole power
of the people to declare war was less-
ened. As two, examples of this Judge
Allen pointed to Theodore Roosevelt’s
action in encouraging Panama’s re-
bdellion from Colombia in order to gain
the Panama Canal and Hugh Wilson’s,
the American ambassador, instigation
or at least public approval. of the
Mexican rebellion to get rid of ‘an
undesired president.

(_ Paes Hearts Throb as Saxophones
Blare From Four Points of the Campus



Unprecedented gaiety besieged the

campus last week-end with four ‘hall’

dances scheduled in Rockefeller, Mer-
ion, Renbigh, and the Common Room
(for graduate students). Blares of
music disturbed the peace of a Satur-
day night in Bryn Mawr until one A,
M. The Cinderellas in Rhoads and
the Pembrokes gazed at the festivities
through the windows and went quietly
home to bed at 10.30 with somewhat
envious feelings,

The non-resident dance on the pre-
vious Saturday. night was an impor-
tant preliminary. for the gala week-
end. It was also held in the Common
Room, and the orchestra was so good
that members of Denbigh promptly
engaged it for their “shindig.” This
was the first non-resident dance in
the history of the college, and was a
good omen for the success of future
ones. Some of the resident students
attended by invitation.

Mr. and Mrs. Watson seemed ‘to be
the popular chaperones of the evening.
They attended -three of the’ halls,
Rockefeller, Merion and Denbigh. We
feel deeply for them and for the
strenuous evening they must have
spent between dancing and rep
trips across the campus. However,
your reporter spied on them when
they were on one of their flying trips
to Rockefeller, and our esteemed ge-
ologist and wife were obviously hav-
ing a good time.

Merion was the scene of several
attempts at “crashing” by some Hav-
erford lads, and even some lassies

from other parts of the college. Their
efforts were firmly repelled, however,
by locked doors and no attention from
within. One of the features of the
evening was-a-dance with balloons,
in which the participants tried to
save their balloons from an avenging
pin in the hand of Jerry True.

Denbigh also had balloons, but hung
from the ceiling. The dining room
looked gay and the dance proceeded
at a fast pace, with much cutting
according to our female stag system.
The Nahms and Mr. Steele were
among those present.

Rockefeller carried out the Wash-
ington’s Birthday motif in its dining
room, and the results were striking.
Mrs. Washington, in cotton batting,
presided sedately at one end of the
room, but whité streamers and bells,
hung from the ceiling, proved slightly
reminiscent of a wedding celebration.
We’ve never seen such an attractive
h}group of males at a college dance as
we saw through the windows of the
dining room that night. A buffet sup-
per was served beforehand, and the
music stopped at 12 o'clock, so ‘every-
one could go out and have more to eat.

The graduate students were above
any sort of decoration, and used the
Common Room in its own ~ guise.
The week-end was. considered gener-
ally to be unusually successful. Rhoads
and the Pembrokes are now planning
their dances for the late spring.

scherzo, was characterized by intelli-
gent phrasing and well-modulated dy-
_ Mamics on the part of all four mu-
Sicians. ,

. The third movement of this quartet
is the slow movement; thus the usual

order of the second and third move-|.

ments is reversed. By using the
scherzo as second movement Haydn
provided contrast in the musical
texture of the whole. ,

_ The ever accurate intonation, crisp
“smoothness of tone, and musical un-
derstanding which characterizes Miss
Rice’s playing were particularly’ no-
ticeable in the first violin part of this
slow movement.

' _ The” last movement of the quartet
is a fugue with two subjects, greatly
contrasted in character. The first
subject, entering in the second violin,
is slow and full of large’ intervals.
The second subject, entering three
measures later in the viola, is its com-
plete opposite. The fugue’ proceeds
rhythmically and steadily to its con-
clusive ending with an almost Bach-
like vigor.

The second quartet seitevwes was.
the Mozart D Minor, in which Miss
‘ Duwall played first Rice, second. The first movement is
conventional form. One noticed its
. greater sophistication as compared
with the Haydn, in the use of such de-
vices as imitation between the differ-
ent voices, which was adequately em-
phasized by the quartet.

The second movement is the slow
movement, in A. B. A. form. Char-
acteristic of it is the motif of the
upward arpeggio, which comes imita-
tively in the different voices.

The third movement is a scherzo,
as is usual. The -vigorous rhythmic
pattern of the minuet was. brought
out by the players in direct contrast
to the preceding slow movement.
One particularily noticed the tech-
nical excelling and smooth’ tone of
Miss Duwall.

~~ The fourth movement of. the quartet

is.g theme and variations. The theme
is of a melodious lyric, character well
suited to the form, and understand-
ingly played ‘by all the members of
_ the quartet, in the different varia-
tions.

The musicians next played the sec-
Brahms quartet,: op, 67 in B flat
ond and third movements from a
major, with Miss Rice again playing
-first violin.

The deep richness of. tone in the
cello, under Mrs.:-McGrehor’s skilful
fingers was particularly well brought
out in the beautiful slow second move-
ment and seemed eminently suitable in
this expressive Brahms movement.’

The third movement of this quartet
is a rather elaborately extended min-
uet and trio, with coda; the form as
well as style was in contrast to the
simple structure of the Haydn and

paratively little difficulty. . Last year’s
pageantry has given: way to angel
robes, devilish red. cloth (not Sopho-
more tunics), haloes, horns and tails
galore, stuffed with newspaper.
Things have been made quite simple,

in the ordinary clothes of our campus

The poster story has been one of
woe. Three of the ‘better ones have
met catastrophe—one was submerged
in soup, one dunked in red paint and
the third was burned along with the
colored streamers and other parapher-
nalia left over from the Merion dance.
There were other difficulties found
with the scenery. One of the major
‘problems were the clouds which, when
dyed pink, persistently turned a dingy

In this movement we heard Mrs.
Fairchild as soloist, her viola stand-
ing out against the muted strings of
the other instruments.
noteworthy was her mastery of her
‘nstrument in the difficult high regis-
ter combined with expressiveness and
beauty of tone. Several different de-
vices were used in the other instru-
ments for accompaniment such as the
receiving arpeggio figure in the trio,
their muted strings producing that

-_strange shimmering quality—so_remi-|

niscent of string stops on the organ.
Perhaps the most outstanding qual-
ity of this delightful concert was that
sense of perfect ensemble and instinc-
tive musical agreement between all
four of the performers, which is so
important in good quartet playing.
