Plans for the acceleration of the
academic curriculum are not yet
definite. However, it has been de-
cided that a student may, with
good reasons and the permission of
her department, receive credit for
courses at Harvard and Swarth-{
more summer sessions. Miss Park |
has suggested the additional alter-
natives of practical experience, or
defense work.
Miss Ward attended a meeting
last week of the representatives of
many Eastern colleges and univer-
sities at which plans for shorten-
ing the curriculum were discussed.
Swarthmore has arranged a
summer session of three ‘months.
Courses will be planned to meet
the requirements of students. The
regular seminars for Juniors and
Seniors will be included. A year’s
course will be covered by devoting
double time to courses. Each sum-
mer session will receive the credit
for one semester.
Haverford will. have only a two
months session, running from June
22 to August 22. Concentration
will center on the sciences, but
there will also be some courses in
other fields.

Monetary Controls
Of Growing Inflation
Goodhart, February .9.— Infla-
tion, particularly dangerous in
time of war, is well under way in
the United States, said Mr. Ander-
son in his lecture entitled Can We
Check Inflation by Control of
Money? Inflation, he saidy is due
to an increase of spendable income
more rapid than supplies of goods
for sale. In the last one and a
half years, prices have risen more
than they have during the whole
preceding eight years. This pres-
ent rise, ten percent in retail
prices and twenty per cent in
wholesale prices, shows no signs of
stopping.
There are three methods of’ con-
trolling inflation; direct price fix-
the public, and control through the
monetary system itself. This last
involves~control—of~banking-as~a
whole. Three instruments can be
used: regulation of cash reserves
which banks are’ required to hold;
open-market operation; and ma-
nipulation of the rate of discount.
However, new legislation is needed
for these instruments. Cash _ re-
serves must be made higher; since

Goodhart, February 10.—Unless
we learn from our past mistakes,
fight the war democratically, or-
ganize it efficiently, talk now of
peace conditions and cast off opti-
mistic smugness, we will neither
win the war nor build the peace,
said Max Lerner, Professor of ‘Po-
litical Science at Williams College.
Mr. Lerner said that America is
being infected by the “Frank Mer-

unrealistic idea that we can con-

advantage of our resources, fail to
organize ourselves, and yet win in

We ‘cannot play for time in this

Mr. Lerner, “that the war may be

Opportunity
It is now possible for the class of ’45 at Bryn Mawr to gradu-
ate in June, 1944, for the class of ’44 to graduate in October, .’43,
and the class of ’43 to graduate in February, 43. ~ Without the
necessary pressure of facing the draft at the age of 20, girls have
found other reasons for a speeded-up year. College educations
will become an increasingly anxious financial load for families.
There is a vast amount of war work for women, some of which
can be done better by college graduates. These are very probably
valid excuses, :
But accelerated education is not utopian. There is first the
obvious fact that the thrill of book learning may pall when it is
compulsory every day, all day. But more important, there are the
great, too frequently unexplored, possibilities of summer vacation.
Four months is just long enough and short enough for experimen-
tation, for practical expansion of theoretical learning. It is not at
all impossible to get summer jobs at camps, in hospitals, on news-
papers, in factories, political organizations, libraries, welfare cen-
ters, summer theaters. Some.of- the jobs are volunteer or ap-
prentice, some pay a living wage. Summer jobs are not only
practical education; they clarify ideas about one’s capabilities and
ambitions. There is only one way to find out whether you want
to write, act, take dictation or pulses.
If the summer vacation was utilized in taking civilian defense
courses; home nursing, first aid, motor mechanics, fire-fighting,
typing, etc., the present time-consuming burden of extra-curricu-
lar activities would be lifted. Colleges would no longer be called
on to assiime a responsibility foreign to their normal province.
Another reason given by advocates of the speed-up plan is
that: it will be easier to get a job in February than in June. It
will be comparatively easy to get a job any time of year during
the war—easier if you have had previous experience; if you can
fill the blank on the application form after the words: name of
former employees. __
Since the opportunities for good summer courses are at hand,
_We must take advantage of them._They—-will -be-weleomed by those:
with clear academic ends in mind, and those who need urgently to
save time. But summers now present another opportunity. Jobs
are easier to get; our services are more valuable to the community.
Probably the most significant reason. behind this demand for
-a time-shortened education is the desire to be of service to the
country. What each student has to decide for herself is how best
she can serve! A college education is not in itself enough; it is
incomplete, background material which must.be supplemented by
experience to be really useful. The alternation of theory and
practice is the ideal form of learning. The combination provides
the necessary requirements for intelligent, efficient service.
Take Care. af the Pennies—
That a small college suffers financially in time of war and
rising prices we know. All wot us recognize the need for economy,
“= put most of-tis do not give Much thought to means of achieving it.
But even in a small college, small sacrifices will help. We
can do more ‘than forego ‘our crackers with eleven-o’clock milk.
Though M. Carey Thomas may have declared that her girls would
not have to make their own beds, it is obvious that our chamber
service could easily be curtailed. And surely cafeteria lunches
would be no hardship. Both these measures would reduce the
expenses for service which the college now must meet.
___A serious problem faces us. Important steps should be taken,
and each student should be willing to share in this small but vital
contribution to the college welfare.

January 15, 1942
Dear COLLEGE NEWS:
We are in the midst of the open-
ing session of the Conference.
Aranha, Foreign Minister of Bra-
zil, has just been elected President.
He is making a strong anti-Nazi
speech, denouncing racial and re-
ligious persecution. (“The moral
force of America’ must be brought
to bear against such false philoso-
phies.)
Sumner Welles got a great dem-
onstration when he came in, and is
getting another now after a refer-
ence has been made to him as rep-
resentative of the U. S.
President. Vargas spoke first,
followed by the Foreign. Minister
of Chile. Doubtless Sumner Welles
will speak. The scene is very col-
orful, flags everywhere, orchids in
a great mass on the table in front
of the speaker. Everyone in tropi-
cal clothes, for the heat is great!
Can you believe it?
The fate of our Neutrality Com-
mittee is yet to be decided—wheth-
er it will be reconstituted as a
Committee on International Law, a
“Judicial Advisory Committee”—
or perhaps be absorbed in a new

_ Mr. Welles is now speaking —
slowly and deliberately, not with
the flowing eloquence of a Latin
American but with the measured
force and clear logic which is char-
acteristic of him. ‘We have been
taught this lesson ..._._,’’-—the les-
son that if our independence is to
be preserved, we must preserve the
independence of those who are un-
justly attacked. ‘Basic principles
of right and justice” for which my
country stands . . “The unity
with which’ we face the. common
peril” will be the test of the reality
of our inter-American solidarity.

I’d like to say that I found Jac-
quie Ballard’s article on baseball
most interesting. I am an ardent
baseball fan and I wish that Miss
Ballard would write some more ar-
ticles of the same ‘type. My only
complaint of the article, and itis a
purely personal one, is that no
mention was made of the Chicago

feel the same way, so let’s have

asked that the Allen Homes be

From this mistake developed a con-|
troversy as. to whether God had,
cursed the earth and man or man
alone. One group of thinkers, be-
ginning with the Venerable Bede, |
maintained that -the mountains
arose with the flood because of the
sins of Adam, Cain and Enoch, the
other group that they arose before
the flood.
The climax came in the Reforma-
tion with Calvin’s declaring that
nature itself was an evidence of
God’s. beauty, Luther that God had
allowed man’s sin to extend to the
earth.
In the seventeenth. century,
mountains were generally regarded
with hostility or indifference; and
the mountains envisioned were
never real mountains but those de-
scribed in books. The entire. at-
titude of the century was condi-
tioned by Latin poetry and by the
Bible. Miss Nicolson said it is dif-
ficult to find passages, except from
the Old Testament, where moun-
tains are praised.
The eyes of the century were
thus influenced by this quarrel. Men
like Marvell, Sir Thomas’ Browne
and Donne saw mountains as pock-
marks upon the perfect proportion
of the world, as evidences of man’s
fault rather than God’s help. Mil-
ton upheld the other side of the
controversy, declaring mountains
to be original with creation.
Both these theories were put to-
gether by Thomas Burnett in his| -
important Sacred Theory of Earth,
published in 1681. By making the
whole problem clear and by stimu-
lating discussion, Burnett caused
whany to rethink the prevalent theo-
logical ideas, Miss Nicolson pointed
out. Some of these ideas were dead
when the controversy aroused by
Burnett was over, and new-scien-
change men’s ways of thinking. |
By the generation of Thomas
Gray, mountains were associated |
with Godliness, exalted in lyric
rapsodies. This change, Miss
Nicolson emphasized, was thus due

left. “That’s the Bryn Mawr Col-
lege siren. One half minute late.”
Then in the fifteen minute black-
out which was not black inside

speeches—“I hadn’t meant to make
a speech but—.” The medical men
had to decide whether to send out
‘|supplies in packages or all at once.
Was it better to suture wounds on
street corners or on operating
tables? A medical man with a ci-
gar said thirty minutes wasn’t
time enough to get ready in. There

Beavers Beat Owls
In Close Struggle
With Score of 47-40
Gym, February_4.— The Bryn
Mawr Varsity sextet lost its open-
ing game to Beaver College by
what may well prove to be the
closest score of the season, 47-40.
In the first half the Owls were un-
believably slow in their passing,
inaccurate in their shooting, and
careless in their guarding.
As the game swung into the sec-
ond half, Beaver led 28-13. For-
tunately at this time the Varsity
metamorphosed. The lead melted
from their feet, their eyes sharp-
ened and the balls began to swish
through, the basket. Meyer, ’42,
high scorer with 17 points, was re-
sponsible for most of the “free’’
shots.._Gifford, ’45, used her height
to advantage to execute many a
good pass. Waples,:’42, was able
to score several times with “pivot”
shots. However the Beaver team

and scored enough tallies to main-

Beaver Second Team
Trounced by Reserves
Gym, February 4.—The Bryn
Mawr Reserves rolled over the Sec-
ond Beaver Basketball Team to
score. an impressive 35-6 victory.
Both the forwards and guards of
the -home team displayed speedy
passing and a sure feeling for the
whereabouts of each other at all
times. This meant-that the Bryn
Mawrter’s passes were accurate as
well as fast. Ruth Finger, '42)
was particularly keen of eye, lead-
ing the forwards in scoring with
13 points. The guards were all
equally alert, although Nancy
Scribner, ’44, was probably the
most tenacious, and Yvonne Town-
send, ’45, the quickest to intercept
passes.

ing the relations between states.”
He cautioned against the danger
of a close analogy between private
and international law; “private
ownership in private law does not
hold in international law.”
What are the states under, this
international law? The difficulty
here is that states are being born
and frequently dying so that “the
list you could make of states under
international law must always be
the death of such states as Hawaii
and Montenegro and the creation
of new ones, as the Baltic states
and Iraq.
Dr. Hudson cited four sources of
international law. One of the most
important is international conven-
tions or treaties. Over five thous-
and treaties have been registered
with the Secretariat of the League
of Nations in the past twenty
said Dr. Hudson. © Grotius, called
the “father of international law,”
whose De jure belli ac pacis im-
mensely influenced contemporary
and later thought, formulated his
legal theories during the Thirty
Years War; and Dr. Hudsol® be-
lieves that out of this war likewise
will come a new emphasis on inter-
national and stated law.

to fall into numerous fragments
and to rise to somewhat forced
climaxes through insufficient gra-
dation of tempo.
The latter portion of the pro-
‘gram was a great deal more as-
sured. The modern Adirondack
Suite by Robert’ Kelly was perhaps
the most skillfully rendered com-
position of the evening, except for
the concluding Marche Slav. The
Viener Blut swirled along happily
as usual, not withstanding a few
hyper-Viennese fits and starts; but
we wish Mr. Vyner could have re-
laxed with the Polevetzkran Dances
as much as he dared with the
Marche Slav. This last contained
all the warmth, agony, and aban-
don which his over-cautious direct-
jing had lacked in the beginning,
and raised the spirits of the audi-
ence to a point where it had no
desire to go home. They clamored
long and steadily for an encore, re-
ceiving numerous return views of
Mr. Vyner, but no further music.
May we express our warm thanks
to the government, youth, and who-
ever inspired them to perform at
Goodhart.
The orchestra is composed of
young musicians studying at music
schools in the vicinity. The first
violinist, Miss Reynolds, a gradu-
ate of the Curtis Institute was a
member of Stokowski’s Youth or-
chestra which went to South
America last summer.
Mr. Vyner, who trains Philadel-
phia’s Youth Orchestra, studied at
the Curtis Institute. He was the
first graduate of a training course
in conducting.

years. Most states have bi-partite
treaties with most other states, and
the number of multi-partite trea-/|
ties is large also. “Another chief
source is custom. That a nation
can act in a matter, Dr. Hudson
pointed out, “and then say ‘this
is the law’ is only a prerogative of
the larger states.” General prin-
ciples of law and judicial decisions
are the last two important sources.
“International law,’ said Dr.
Hudson, ‘attempts
normality ih the face of the ab-
normality of war.” In 1864 the
Red Cross Convention met in Ge-
neva to discuss the treatment of
the wounded in war, and again met |
in 1929. Various rules of conduct |
in war have grown up in the effort
for humanitarian relations during

Monetary Controls

they already exceed the maximum
reserve funds required by law.
Selected, particular control must
be exercised to curb inflation and
facilitate a defense program.
There must be curbs on the use of
bank funds for civilian purchases
and there must be means of econ-
omizing on consumer consumption.
New discriminations in bank prac-
tices are necessary to effect these
changes and to bring about an al-
leviation of the present state of in-
flation.
The price rise is closely con-
nected with government expendi-
tures. « There is no limitation on
the amount of money which the
government can spend, and its ri-
valry with private corporations
has caused increased prices.
Inflation as a system of taxation
is unfair. It does not allocate the
burden of taxation equitably"
among all. Fixed income groups
are hard hit by price rises, and
work. per hour at presént has a
lower purchasing power than it
had’ a year ago. Businessmen,
however, are making higher profits
‘than they were during the boom of
"29." ;
Inflation impedes the transfer
from peace-time to war-time basis.
There are more profits in the pro-
duction -of civilian goods than in
the production of military equip-
ment; hence inflation impairs the
defense effort.
There is competition between in-
flation and other means of raising
government purchasing power. It
is a poor system of finance with
regards to general morale. Strikes
are more frequent. Inflation, said
Anderson, is condemned without
qualification as a method of fi-
nance.

cans now have the “tragic and ter-
rible sense of being unused;” they
have an unfulfilled. desire to be
“used Yor something greater than
themselves.”
We may be optimistic about the
long-run future, however, because
we have huge economic resources,
“strong and great allies,” and the
weapon of the Democratic Idea.
But, only in the War Production
Board, he said, have we begun to
learn from the past. In our un-
alert military leadership, unbold |
strategy, in our refusal through
the Dies Committee and, to a lesser |
extent, the F.B.I. to cope with the
real Fifth Column, in a State De-/|
partment permeated by ideas of
“aristocracy” and “appeasements,”’
“nolitics-as-usual, and business-as-
usual,” are seen examples of our
failure to profit from a study of
“how we got here?” Retrenchment
in public works is not a far-sighted
policy, said Mr. Lerner, and in the
long run will retard the fight
against Hitlerism.
‘The post-war period, said Mr. |
Lerner, will be “a direct conse-
quence of the war period.” We can-
not cooperate with our ally, Soviet
Russia, “on terms of beating her
later.” Russia and China will be
as essential in the post-war world
as Britian and the United States.
We must guard against the Fifth
Column_technique, he said, of split-|
ting the war. into two distinct
wars. Fear of Socialism and Com-
munism at this time is “danger-
ous.” This war is not being fought,
concluded Mr. Lerner, for Anglo-
Saxon supremac’y or political
ideals. No Carthaginian peace can
be a success. We must eventually |
|
evolve a world federation of which
England and America cannot be |
“the sole base,” and there must be
an economic as well as a political
settlement.

Office of the Director of Admis-

men, and the duties of its mem-
bers range from a rapid tour of
the campus with a_ prospective
Freshman and family to participa-
tion in a complicated week-end
program of entertainment for a
group of girls from a preparatory
school. The chairman of the com-
mittee is appointed in the spring
by the new presidents of Under-
grad and Self-Gov. in collaboration
with the outgoing chairman. At the
same time an executive board is
appointed to assist her. The Stu-
dent Guides, members of the com-
mittee, are chosen by the chairman
and the Director of Admissions.
They are carefully selected for
such qualities as ability to meet
and talk to girls and parents«with
ease, enthusiasm, interest, and so
forth. They are often requested
at a moment’s notice to escort Sub-
Freshmen around the campus; they
are asked to attend teas for Sub-
Freshmen; and they are expected
to act as hostesses for the college.

Model League, Held
At B. M., to Discuss
Post-War Transition!
The Middle Atlantic Model
League of Nations will meet at
Bryn Mawr from March 29 to 31)
to discuss the period of transition
immediately following the end of
the war. “In dealing with the prob-
lems which will arise before the es-
tablishment of a new permanent}
world organization, the assumption
will be made that anti-Axis will be
in a controlling position at the end
of the war.
Seven commissions are to cover
the various aspects of restoration
to normal civilized life. One will
consider the maintenance of order,
indicating the problems of transi-
tion from military to civilian au-
thority, and the policing of the de-
feated countries. Another, on fa-
mine and disease is to question
methods of supplying food~ eeo-
nomically to places where it is most
needed. Economic reconstruction,
the reopening of world trade and|
communications, colonial problems, |
refugees and displaced populations
and educational plans will also be
analyzed in the three day meeting.
After the war large sections of
the world will probably be in a
chaotic state—the land ravaged,
civil war and _ revolution wide-
spread, famine and disease preva-
lent. The pressing problems to be
faced, in general the restoration of
a normal, civilized life, will occupy
the attention of the Model League.

gation will represent a particular
