Lerner Stresses
Present Need for

Planned Economy



America Must Enter War
At Once for Chance
Of Survival

Goodhart Auditorium, May 7.—
Max Lerner, speaking at-an Under-
graduate Assembly on America and
the. war, declared. his. belief--that
the United States must immedi-
ately enter the war, with a new
sense of the power and the duties
of democracy. In this revolution-
ary world, he said, the defeat of
Nazism by a dynamic.and demo-
cratic force is our only hope for
survival.

Our need is for~a controlled,
planned economy. By this Mr. Ler-
ner means not fascist planning, but
a system which recognizes that
laissez-faire is no longer possible
as. an economic policy; a system



which discards the conception that’

the best government is that whic
governs least. ;

Leadership Important

Leadership is all-important, Mr.
Lerner said. It is safe, for in a
democratic country it can_ be
changed or transferred through
the electoral system. It is neces-
sary, for all decisions and appoint-
ments cannot be made directly by
the people. Mr. Lerner said that
an intelligent economic system will
make possible an efficient military
machine functioning within the
democratic framework. England
has not yet achieved this efficiency,
and, unless she does she cannot sur-
vive. If the United States achieves
a dynamic democracy the war may

__be won.

Changes Necessary

Those. who believe that we can
continue with “business as usual”
are wrong, Mr. Lerner contended.
The United States must realize
that, although Nazism is not in it-
self a revoluntionary force, it has

exploited the need for revoluntion-

Dr. Manning, speaking to an au-

history. As a result, the civilian

Projects on Campus
Discussed by Council



At a meeting on May 18, the Col-
lege Council discussed plans for
freshman week, the college as-
semblies, the work of the Enter-
tainment Committee and the Ath-
letic Association, and the activities
of the Faculty Curriculum Com-

mittee. The possible future proj-
ects of campus organizations were
informally outlined.

The organization of the Forum
Group will be the first concern
of the Undergraduate Association
in the fall. The Bryn ‘Mawr
League is taking relief work under
its wing, and hopes to coordinate
its committees. The Athletic Asso-
ciation plans to stress individual
likes and dislikes in the sports pro-
gram, and hopes to cater to student
demands.

Representatives of the Sub-
Freshman Committee will return to
college for Freshman Week instead
of members of the hockey team.
An issue of the News.‘will be
printed and given to freshmen dur-
ing this time. A supper for all
non-resident students will be in-.,
cluded in plans for the week.

The Undergraduate assemblies
were well organized this year. By
planning a varied program of out-
side speakers with student speak-
ers, it was felt that a balance was
struck.

sented.

Work of Art Club Shows Varied Technique;
International Arts Exhibit Also Displayed



By Sally Matteson, ’43
_Two-exhibitions sponsored bythe

' Art Club are on display in the

Common Room this week. One in-
cludes representative work of the
Art Club for the past. year.. Nudes
predominate and appear in all
techniques. Among these a group
of sculptural nudes by Anne
Sprague, ’44; some watercolors by
Francy Fox, ’43, showing her mas-
terful use of the medium; and two
tawny, particularly expressive fig-
ures..by Helen Eichelberger, ’43,
were perhaps the most finished of
the exhibition. Two studies in
brown ink, one by Brooksie Hollis,
42, and another by Gertrude
Casear, ’44, although obviously ex-
perimental, are remarkably deco-
rative. Se



There are three pieces of sculp-
ture: a head by Didi Mills, -’41,
which shows a fine selection of de-
tail; a self-portrait of Margaret
Jameson, ’43; and a mannered
horse. by Virginia King, ’41.

Along with this local work is dis-
played an exhibit, lent by the
International Arts Exhibit of Con-
necticut, of small wood carvings
from all over the world. It is a
heterogeneous group, varying from.
a decorated Javanese cock to the
simple-planed laborer from Poland,
from intricate floral panels from
China to symbolic African masks.
Some pieces, a little Peruvian
guanaco in particular, have charm,
but the bulk of this exhibit is too
similar-to ordinary gift-shop ware
to be of any special interest.



By Nancy Evarts, ’43
On. Saturday evening’ the
Players’ Club presented A Mid-
summer Night’s Dream _ behind
Goodhart. The play, directed by
Dr. Benno Frank, was on a large
scale and was performed with an
almost faultlessly professional
technique. With an audience suff-
ering acutely from cold, and the
performers probably more so, it
still commanded attention and en-
thusiasm for over two hours.
Because of the size of the pro-
duction and the disjointed quality
of the play itself, it is remarkable
that one of the greatest merits of
the performance should be
unity. There were no intermis-
sions, and one scene followed an-
other with a. smoothness which

Summer Convention
At Bryn Mawr Will

Discuss Democracy



The Institute of International
Relations, under the auspices of
the American Friends’ Service
Committee, will hold its 12th An-
nual Meeting at Bryn Mawr Col-
lege this year, from June 27th to
July 6th. The problems of De-
mocracy, Religion and World
Change ‘will be considered.

Senator Burton K. Wheeler and
Norman Thomas will discuss the
fundamental trends underlying the
surface of current events in the
world today, and the place of these
trends in history.

Thé problems of democracy, its
fitness as a pattern for world
government and the future of
nationalism will be carefully stud-
ied.. - Special_attention will also
be paid to the question of the
restriction of freedom of religion
that is taking place in many coun-
tries today, and to the problem of
the personal religion desirable at
present.

Perhaps the full possibilities of the

Much of the effect of the play

72% of Students
For Big May Day;
Final Votes in Fall

Frivolity of Performance
Denied, Value Stressed
' By Speakers





Seventy-two per cent of a total
of 401 votes decided in favor of
having Big May Day next year.
Pembroke East polled the greatest
majority for Big May Day with a
vote of 51 to 9; and out of the six-
teen non-resident votes, only one
was against it. Rhoads and Mer-
ion were less ¢hthusiastic; Rhoads
polling 56 to 38, and Merion, 31
to 17. [The rest of the halls showed
approximately the same_ propor-
tions. Pembroke West tabulated
43 to 13, Denbigh, 44 to 18, and
Rockefeller, 49 to 16.] There will
be another final vote taken in the
spring.

At the mass meeting on Monday
evening in Goodhart, the advant-
ages and disadvantages of Big May
Day were discussed by four stu-
dents and two members of the
faculty.

Vivi French, ’42, assured wor-
ried students that there would be
no dance rehearsals on the green
before breakfast, and went on to
say that May Day has never failed
to meet expenses. Though the six
plays are necessary to accommo-
date the crowd, expenses could be :
cut down.

Miss Meigs described the contag-
ious atmosphere of the 1986 May
Day in which she took part. No
one felt their time was wasted, or
that there was not enough choice
to avoid regimentation.

The present unfair distribution
of extra curicular work, the respon-
sibility of carrying on a tradition,
and the fun students would have
working on such a project, were
the_points stressed by Ann Adams,
‘48. Margo Dethier, 42, on the
other hand, said that the Entertain-
ment Series, club activities, coop-
eration with Haverford, and sports
would be seriously affected.

Prudence Wellman, ’42, speaking
as a Senior, asked why the Sen-

Indiantown Has:Air Conditioning and Bars;
But Training is With Bayonets, for War



By Barbara Cooley and
Nancy Ellicott, ’42

Indiantown Gap, near Harris-
burg, was established as an Army
camp about ten years ago; but
when we arrived on Friday it still
looked a little unfinished. Fifteen
thousand men are there now; some
from the regular Army and the

National Guard, but the majority
are selectees in training. The camp
is still expanding. Already it cov-
ers about four square miles.

The barracks are unpainted but
air conditioned, insulated, and
founded on cement. They are
grouped for occupation by separate
divisions and companies. The
limits ~are strictly drawn and
thére is no visiting or communica-
tion between units. The hospital
unit covers about two city blocks.

There are several firehouses,
equipped with station wagons
painted red.. There is a movie
theatre, @ hostess house, and eight
or ten bars. Each company has a
mess hall, with K. P. duty for
offenders from the artillery or in-
fantry. Cavalry criminals must
clean the stables. The food, the



selectees report, isn’t good. This



/

was demonstrated by the fact that
it takes only ten minutes to eat
dinner.

A volunteer sergeant said,
“We’re being trained for war.” We
saw the dummies set up-for bayo-
net practice and heard about the
hand-grenade drill. There are
plans for taking the whole “Army”
to Virginia this summer for a full
military campaign against other di-
visions. It takes 13 weeks to train
a company—about 130 men—to
drill, but this is complicated by the
fact that the official number_of
men for a company is changed
every week. :

We saw more Army trucks, gun-
carriages and cars than men. Some
of the cavalry is now motorized, but
there are beautiful. new kahki-
colored trailers for the horses.

The artillery shoots their shells
into the flanks of Blue Mountain.
Red flags and danger signs warn
visitors during firing practice. And ~
underneath the signs is an official
notice: “Hunters, fishers and trap-
pers forbidden.”

Our sergeant kept repeating,’
“this is the life!” It looked
healthy, informal, and only a little

‘PENN POINTS



Marquand._ Achieves Subtlety
And Realism of Portrayals



| In. New Book

In the introduction to his latest
novel, H. M. Pulham, Esquire,
Mr. Marquand suggests an explan-
ation for the reader’s sustained in-
terest in this rather uneventful
story. “If this novel, which deals
with the imaginery problems of the
imaginery Henry Pulham and his
imaginary friends, is well enough
written to hold a reader’s attention,
it will be because my characters
have assumed a transient reality

\in the reader’s mind, and on the

strength of that illusion rests this
book’s sole prospect of artistic suc-
cess.” Mr. Marquand has more
than succeeded in producing a
“transient real:ty” of character; he
has produced a supreme illusion.
The book is a sensitive record of
life as it is really lived from day
to day. There is no effort to gloss
over the unpleasant or to revel in
it for its own sake. %

H. M. Pulham, Esquire is a sub-
tle, sympathetic study of a special
type of character in an environ-
ment of which he is the product.
However alien this specific Boston
atmosphere may be to the average
reader, he will soon find that ac-
quaintance with a man like Harry
Pulham is really familiar to his
own experience. At the same time,
the story imparts a more than
superficial understanding of the
New England setting.

If this novel gives the reader a
more acute awareness of the sig-
nificance of every day life, it also
gives him a remarkable insight into
the intricacies of character. H. M.
Pulham, Esquire is a textbook of
human reactions studied in and
through one-man. By detailing
Harry’s experiences with Marvin
Miles, with his wife Kay, with his
friend Bill, the author presents a
penetrating examination of the
subtleties and undercurrents of hu-
man relationship.

Greatly __to __Mr.__Marquand’s
credit, he has managed to sustain
his realism even to the conclusion
of the book, which the meeting be-
tween Harry~and Marvin could so
easily have spoiled. Their final
realization that “we can’t go back”

WIT’S END

“Oh where, oh where has my
little dog gone,” said the man with
the mustache, gazing melancholy-
like at the view from his mountain
garden. “Are his ears cut long?
And, oh, dear, maybe his ankle is
broken.”

“Pennies from heaven,” shouted
the rustic as he tried to catch them
on the prongs of his pitchfork. The
stag, who had drunk his fill at
eve where the moon danced on
Monin’s rill, yawned and saw Buck
Rogers in the 25th century.

“A parachute for a keepsake,”
said Buck, alias the little dog, “but
no tea for me. Justa nice drink of
water, please.” Once a gentleman,
always. The rustic knew that and
so did the rustic’s wife, because
the little dog had a gold identifi-
cation tag.

The Hit Boy, when he discovered
where his little dog had gone said
he had rabies, but the little dog
acted very nicely when they came
to get him at the rustic’s house.

This Is Greece is Collection
Of Photographs Showing
People, Country



Specially Contributed
By Ruth Fiesel, ’42

Six Bryn Mawr alumnae are
among “the seventy-five members
and friends of the American School
of Classical Studies’ at Athens”
who compiled This Is Greece, a
book of photographs. Over half
the price of each book is contrib-
uted to civilian relief in Greece.

The book features a contrast be-
tween the old and new, and when
one looks at such pictures as a
steam engine passing between
Athens and Corinth, and the mod-
ern harbor of Naxos, one feels the
tremendous scope of time Greece
has lived. And yet the shepherd
boy of Parnassus might have lived
in the days of Hesiod, and the pot-
tery market near Corinth have
been one of the sixth century, B. C..

We are led to the many beautiful
places in Greece: the harbor of
Salonika, a bridge at Epirus, or-
ange groves at Messina, and more
than that, to the people of Greece
as they live today; the mule-
drivers, the flea-market, mothers
with their children, old men sitting
in the village square.

The text sometimes gives valu-
able factual information; and some-
times it is in the form of a quo-
tation from an ancient author. Two
lines from the Greek anthology
make an apt comment on the fruit
market at Athens: “This pome-
granate, this cloth of gold, this

wrinkled face of fig, fold upon]:

fold.”

The title page of This Is Greece
includes a quotation from Demos-
thenes which seems best to express
its spirit: “Since the world began,
no man has ever prevailed upon
Athens to attach herself in the se-
curity of.servitude, to the oppres-
sors of mankind however formid-
able.”

The lottery for the benefit
of the Greek War Relief So-
ciety netted forty-five dollars,
all of which has not yet been
collected. Demetrius, the 18-
inch Gréek doll, was won by

I.S.S. Plans Magazine
To Contain Students’
Opinions and Articles









The International Student Serv-
ice is planning a new magazine, to
be written and edited by students.
The publication will not be an or-

gan of the I.S.S. viewpoint, will !

“tap the whole field of student
talent,” and will be open to under-
graduates and graduates, allowing
space in its. pages for different
opinions,

The I.S.S. believes that the writ-
ing and thought of today’s student
is worthy of publication in a new,
larger magazine which will serve
to span the gulf between college
and commercial publications. An
appeal is being sent out to student
writers to contribute manuscripts
or outlines of planned projects. In
its broad scope'the magazine will
include fiction, , poetry, reviews,
journalistic articles on student and
contemporary affairs, and long
solid, scholarly papers.

The magazine will appear three
times a semester and will be sold
to the national university audience.

sive design is it possible to com-
prehend the wide field of student



talent and to be truly exemplar.”

Now pending before the Penn-
sylvania State Legislature arg.sev-
ad bills to investigate the schools
jand dismiss teachers who are
“subversive.” Although these bills
lhave been proposed for avowedly
“patriotic” motives they are meet-
\ing organized opposition centered
in Philadelphia. Such groups as
the American-Federation of Teach-
‘ers, Citizen Groups and Legislative
| Action Committees are © opposing
these bills through lobbies and let-
ter-writing campaigns. The recent:
Pennsylvania Congress for Ameri-
can Liberties, sponsored in part by
Dr. Everett Hunt, Dean of Men,
Swarthmore College; Dr. Felix
Morley, President, Haverford Col-
‘lege; Dr; Thomas Woody, Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, and Fran-
icis Fisher Kane, Esq., passed reso-
‘lutions condemning both Bill S. 518
and Bill S. 559.

Bill S. 518, passed by the Senate
and now: before the Hotse~ of
| Representatives, proposes as a rea-
ison for dismissal “unAmerican or
subversive teaching or activity in
or support of any party engaged
in unAmerican or subversive activ-
ity or membership in or support of
any political party prohibited by
law from a place on the ballot.”
This bill is being opposed on the
grounds that “subversive” and “un-
American” can be given a broad
interpretation and have frequently
been used as excuses for “witch
hunting.” It is also contended that
this bill would act. as a gag on
teachers and would invalidate the
hard-won Teacher’s Tenure Act,

Bill S. 559, which has passed two
readings and is up for final read-
ing, establishes a joint educational
survey committee with the right to
subpoena. Governor James recom-
mended this committee. The oppo-
sition to this bill reiterate the need
of Pennsylvania schools for finan-
cial aid and claim that this com-
mittee will be used as an excuse to
withhold adequate financial sup-
port.

In addition to these bills there
are others proposed which provide
| for the dismissal of married women
_teachers and for the legalization
of child labor. This last bill would
| be accompanied by a law lowering
jthe age at which children may
leave school. It is opposed on the
usual moral grounds and also for
fear that the general wage level
will’ be lowered

\ Sara T. Walsh, Legislative
Representative of Local 192 of the
American Federation of Teachers,
stated her opposition to Bill S. 518
in a letter to the “Philadelphia In-
quirer,” April 28, 1941.

“Teachers of history, English,
civics, science, consumer education,
hygiene and home economics would,
if S. 518 were passed, be forced to
be mute or constantly face the
‘charge of subversive or unAmeri-
lean teaching. Charges could be
merely based on reports from chil-
dren, or from an army of citizen
spies motivated by the hysteria

Reason and Intuition

Discussed by M. Foss

Intuition Precedes Reason; it
Is Drive to Progress; Has
To be Expressed





Common Room, May 8. — The
Law of Identity and the Law of
Contradiction are expréssions of
the close connection between rea-
son and intuition, Dr. Martin Foss
of the Haverford Co-operative
Workshop explained in his lecture
to the Philosophy Club. The Law
of Identity—“being is being”—puts
forward, in the form of reasoning,
an intuitional necessity. The Law

of Contradiction, on the other hand,
shows how intuition may be de-
rived from reason.

Relation is the cornerstone of
reason. All thoughts are relations;
all thinking is somehow exterior,
objective, fragmentary, with an
arbitrary quality. Thought is al-
ways a dialogue, either with an-
other person or between two por-

tions of a single mind. With this

idea of plurality, we enter the
sphere of mathematics, which is
pure relation.

Intuitional unity shapes the plu-
rality of reason, Dr. Foss main-
tained. Intuition itself is a power
stronger than the human mind,
which cannot conceive without it.
Before reason can ever understand
causation and substance, the mind
must grasp these meanings intui-
tionally, Then, reason can com-
prehend these meanings by relating
them, thus formulating the Law of
Identity. However, man cannot
live in a sphere of pure intuition;
he must descend and try to ‘ex-
press intuition rationally. Art, Dr.
Foss said, is a new attempt to
grasp intuition in reason.

Man’s drive to truth is impelled
by intuition which urges him on-
ward from one judgment to an-
other. Intuitional unity is the
source of all question. Out of
faith in the unity of all knowledge,
the savant and the scientist seek
and work. Every answer obtained
is a station in the infinite way of

_truth, The savant becomes a rep-

resentative in an eternal movement
which connects all inquiry. He
possesses a mystical, intuitional op-
timism because he sees this move-
ment in relation to our dream of
the progress of humanity.

Whereas, the relation of objects
can be continued in the future, the
relation of men cannot. Despair
at this insufficiency of human rela-
tion is at the bottom of ethics. Dr.
Foss explained that from one view-
point, then, humanity becomes a
symbol of the sacrifice of every
man for the sake of an _ ideal.
Kant’s formulation of intuitional
unity is an expression of this sac-
rifice.

Proximity of Decision -
In Crisis Emphasized
At Lerner Discussion



/Max Lerner, continuing his dis-
éussion in the Common Room after
the Undergraduate Aaseme
iterated his belief thatthe war
will be decided within two weeks.
England is weaker than we realize.
Either appeasement will. be
adopted, or a more militant prose-
cution of the war, perhaps under
Bevin, who has a larger view of
economic planning and democratic
necessities than has Churchill. }
Churchill has aided the unification
of England, but he has not created
the English fighting spirit. Rather
it has created him.

The war can be won, said Mr.
Lerner, on the sea and in the air.
An invasion of the Continent,
though desirable, is possible only
if England is joined by Russia. Mr.
Lerner. believes.that. this is un-
likely, as Stalin will not trust Eng-
land not to back out, leaving Rus-
sia to bear the full brunt of the
war.

Mr. Lerner believes that the
problem of labor in defense can-
not be settled by suppressing
strikes. Demands for collective
bargaining are legal and should
not be denied. Contract strikes,
however, should be discouraged.
The mediation machinery now de-
veloping seems efficient, and would
be greatly strengthened by provi-
sions for a cooling-off period.

Rhoads Band Spares

Love Scenes of Dream





Rhoads, upholding its tradition
of non-traditionalism, dispensed
with all balloons, streamers, and
posters in favor of potted palms
and dogwood at the dance on Sat-
urday evening. In spite of this
startling innovation, the dance was
in most respects typical.

The usual female stag line was
augmented by two males who
thought there might be less com-
petition at Rhoads than they had
found at Shipley. The usual blar-
ing band was a little dampened in
spirit by frequent and desperate
envoys—_-from-——-the Midsummer
Night's Dream pleading that the
most important love scene was
coming’ up and could the band
please play more softly. The or-
chestra relented and did not play
Beat Me Daddy until after eleven
o’clock; agreeing that Mendelssohn
and My Sister and I don’t mix.

Recreation, Children,

In Community Center



When you see a friend who says
she has just been jumping rope for
two hours, don’t worry about her;

she’s been at the Community Cen-
ter. The Center is the place where
Bryn Mawr girls lose their inhibi-
tions and “take up the childish
things.” Neighborhood children
are, needless to say, very much en-
tertained.

The organization of recreation
is the problem of the Community
Center. Howlers and clappers of
all ages are divided and ordered
more or less. neatly. Planned
schedules decide each day whether
you howl or clap or cover yourself
with paint or prick your fingers
with needles.

Every so often, there is a Big
Day. Anything from amateur
night to a circus may be given at
the Center and there’s no knowing
when you may walk in on an in-
cantation, “I hope that I shall never

Earnest Students Qualify for Four Year
Degrees in Less Than Twenty Months



Atlanta, Ga. (ACP).—Six earn-‘ttaught as well as studied every

est young men, survivors of an
eleven-man “brain team,” have just

qualified for four-year bachelor of
arts degrees in less than 20
months.

President Thornwell Jacobs, of
Oglethorpe University, who started
the eleven on a six-year grind in
September, 1939, looked over their
report cards and observed:

1. The collective average for the
group is better than 92 per cent on
a study program of 30 class hours
a week—twice the normal load.

2. The boys are healthy, happy
and still going strong.

3. The experiment has gone far
enough to demonstrate his princi-
pal thesis—“that the average col-
lege resembles a country club as
much as an institute of learning,
and approximately half the time of
its students is devoted to pursuits
other than education.”

The remaining. six, with Fred
Goss as leader, expect to qualify
for their masters’ degrees by next
fall, and then embark on four more
years of work for degrees of doctor
of arts and sciences. Along with
their studies they will assist the
Oglethorpe faculty until—by their
graduation in 1945—they will have



pupils anything from war whoops
to tap dancing.



course offered by the university.
Dr. Jacobs said, “It is due solely
and only to two things:

“1. They have been relieved of
all country club distractions, with
prescribed time for sleeping, eat-
ing, classes, study, recreation and.
religion.

“2. They are intensely in earn-
est, knowing that upon them de-
pends the outcome of this educa-
tional experiment.”

“The boys are on the football
field more than any other students.
They have fixed times for meals,
library work, study, sleep. From
Saturday noon until Sunday at 6
P. M. they are free to do what they
wish, except that they must attend
church in a body Sunday morning.
The results speak for themselves.”

Red Cross Auxiliary
Outlines Work Done
Since Last January



At the end of May, the Bryn
Mawr College Auxiliary of the
American Red Cross will close its
workshop which has been open

since January 6. In that time six
hundred and twenty-five articles
have been completed for the Red
Cross and a large amount of sew-
ing has been done for the British
War Relief bringing the total num-
ber of articles close to eight hun-
dred. Money contributions from
various sources have made it pos-
sible to supply the extras necessary
for all this sewing and to donate
some articles made of our own
material.

Different groups’ have been
formed to carry on this work and
are responsible for the large
amount of output and for the repu-
tation for good work which has
been accorded us by the head-
quarters in Ardmore. The Defense
Committee has organized {one
group; Mrs. Keator and Miss Fer-,
guson have superintended the work
of the maids, and groups have
been working at Thornbrook Man-
or, the Mermont and the Mermont
Plaza. The help from the under-
graduates has been great and has
been highly appreciated. Just before
the spring vacation when the un-
dergraduate help was available in
greatest number, the peak output
of two hundred garments in a week
was reached. Those responsible
for the conducting of this under-
taking offer their earnest thanks
to every person who-has rendered
assistance at a time of very great
need. Many thanks are due also
to the Undergraduate Association
and the League who made the room
available.

The Auxiliary ask that any per-
son who finds that she still has
any garments out, to bring them
to the Red Cross room in Good-
hart. .The Auxiliary is responsible
for all articles sent out from head-
quarters and will have to replace
any that are not recovered.

B. M. Loses to Strong

Vassar Tennis Team



Phila. Cricket Club Team Led
To Sure Victory Over B. M.
By Hope Knowles



Vassar College, May 10.—Boast-
ing their strongest team in many
years, Vassar had no trouble in
defeating Bryn Mawr’s tennis var-
sity 5-0. While the game scores
per setvwere generally low, the
games themselves were close. Bryn
Mawr could not keep drives in the
court under Vassar’s continual
pressure.

Waples, ’42, lost to Hubbell 6-2,
6-2, The match was distinguished
for its fast cross-court drives and
adept drop-shots. Meyers, a tal-
ented Vassar freshman, was worn
down by Norton’s steady playing
before winning 6-3, 6-2. Prindle
defeated Chester, ’42, 6-1, 6-0. The
doubles play faired no better. Hub-
bell and Prindle won over Chester
and Waples, 6-2, 6-3. Norton and
Dethier lost to Wilchin and Whea-
ton 6-3, 6-1.

On Thursday, May 8) led by
Hope Knowles, the nation’s 10th
ranked women’s player, the Phila-
delphia Cricket Club offered Bryn
Mawr stiff competition. The stand-
ard of play was high, but there
was little doubt of the final result
in all but three of the matches.
The scores of the matches are more
indicative than is normally. the
case.

Hope Knowles defeated Waples
6-1, 6-1.

Matthai won by default.

Mrs. Gallagher defeated Fleet
6-3, 6-3.

Mrs. Prizer defeated Norton
7-5, 3-6, 6-3.

Mrs. Beatty defeated Chester
6-4, 4-6, 6-3.

Knowles and Gallagher defeated
Matthai and Norton 6-3, 6-1.

Prizer and Beatty defeated Fleet
and Waples 6-1, 1-6, 6-3.

\Faculty Et Ceteras Overwhelm Student’s

Hitless Wonders in Spurt by Blue Bonnet



By Jacquie Ballard, ’43
Bryn Mawr, April 11—A week-
end crowd of several persons
watched the faculty-student base-
ball game. For the second time the

|students were overwhelmed, 13-7,

in five innings of play.

At a quarter past three the game
looked impossible, for no faculty
members had appeared. At twenty
past three a few professors ambled
down, and by recruiting three spec-
tators a team was eventually slung
together, dubbed for the day, the
“Ht Ceteras.”

The neat double play combina-
tion of Doyle and Berry was minus
the former, and “Blue Bonnet,”
feeling deeply the absence of his
compatriot, put on the tools and
went behind the plate. There he
sang in chirruping notes, likened
by an astute ornithologist to the
warbling of the Louisiana water
thrush, enticing the enemy batter
to his doom with the ever apt ex-
clamation, “Strike at it!”

The score was tied at one all, at
the end of the first, the result of a
close pitching duel. But under the
Faculty team’s blasts of five runs
in the second and six runs in the
fourth, the Students were com-
pletely swamped.

“Blue Bonnet” still retains his
batting eye. First time up he

smacked a single, but the second,
third, and fourth innings he wore
his glasses. Then he hit three suc-
cessive homers. Another home run
hitter was Bob Lynch, who unfor-
tunately does not belong to this
league.

The Students are still the hitless

wonders of the present day, but
their fielding has improved consid-
erably, and they aren’t the snow
plows they were two weeks ago.

Not Imperialist War
It is not a war of interlocked

Only democratic organization can
make defense production efficient

out several important imperialists

By way of _ illustration, Mr.
Lerner said, “When two trains are

pull the switch.” Two political
systems, two ways of thought and
of life are approaching one another
at a terrific rate of speed. We
“ould have pulled the switch many
times during the last decade; and
we still can, he said. But the con-
sequences will be painful, and we
resist the burden of new thinking
and fresh exertion.

Mr. Herben Diseases
Manuscript Drawings



Illustrations Reveal - Honesty

Of Chaucer as Observer



Common Room, May 8.—At an
open meeting of the Art Club, Mr.
Herben spoke on Illustrations of
the Canterbury Tales and. Chau-
cer’s England. . Reproductions of
manuscript drawings and_illumi-
nations provided a background for

his discussion.

The accuracy of Chaucer’s imag-
ery and his honesty as an observer
can be tested by drawings done in
Chaucer’s time. An illustration of
a naval battle from Froissart
shows how accurately the account
of the battle of Actium in the
Legend of Good Women reproduces
the conditions of medieval warfare.
An excellent illumination of Lon-
don shows the City buildings and
the Bridge exactly as Chaucer and
his pilgrims knew ‘them.

Illustrations of the pilgrims’ pro-
cession are satisfying only when
they can follow Chaucer’s text
closely. When the artist had to
portray a character whom Chaucer
did not describe, the result is poor.
The manuscripts of the Canter-
bury Tales contain three excellent
and almost contemporary portraits
of Chaucer himself.

An. illustration of a spring scene

, from the Roman de la Rose shows,

Mr. Herben said, how accurately
Chaucer portrayed nature and_ the
country occupations. Chaucer “saw
his world with a steady eye, and
by virtue of articulate speech and
lovely poetry is: able to bring this
world to us.”

ever, has been issued in this coun-
try since 1930. The Imfantry
Journal has, unlike other Ameri-
can army journals, shown a recog-
nition of the transformation of
Through this,
Dr. Manning discovered the work
of three very important military
strategists; Marichal du Saxe,
Ardand du Picq, and Charles de
Gaulle, who each place main em-
phasis on the value of morale.

In his book, Men in Battle, Du
Picq discusses the phalanx, the bat-
tle unit of Rome and Greece, In
this formation, the issue of the
battle depended upon whether the
lines in the rear, the area of moral
tension, kept their courage while
they watched the front lines fight.
The area of moral tension is_in-
creased today, and the soldier’s
psychology demands encouragement
now as then. For an offensive, the
paramount need is for such things
as. small, self sufficient units,
skirmishes, and one line instead of
two, so that men will actually fight
instead of merely watching.

Vauban’s brilliant defensive theo-
ries involved as many outposts and
as much depth as possible, but “the

French go underground in the
Maginot line!” For a successful
defense, the lesson of hand

to hand fighting and the correct use
of automatic weapons must be
learned from the Spanish Civil
War.

That lesson is now being learned
by the British, and ‘for that reason
Dr. Manning believes that England
may be successfully defended.
Added to this is the element of the
uncertainty of Nazi morale after
long fighting and absence from
home, and the despair in the hearts
of the conquered civilian popula-
tions.

German success has not been
caused by any new weapon or s@-
cret. The German army has
achieved a synthesis, a co-ordina-
tion and combination that we must
also gain.

Midsummer Madness is a spon-
taneous production. The lines are
Shakespeare’s and the songs are
Elizabet}iin, but-the interpretation
is strictly Basin Street. The sing-
ing is sound and the dances have
body. The business has a skele-
ton schedule but gets better and
better as the cast gets more and
more amused at the spectacle of
itself working hip to shoulder with
the Bard.

Hilda didn’t have full scope last
year in the role of Bess. Titania,
however, suits her. She can do
more with it. Whittaker’s Bot-
tom. John Henry is Philistrate
and sings “Didn’t He Ramble” till
the timbers shake in rhythm. Karl,
both as Flute and as Thisbe, runs
a gamut from treble to bass. Clar-
ence, to quote himself, is a per-
petual Sphinx, but somehow _ his
inhibitions vanish when the Weav-
ers really get into it. The Fairies



are jazzed but ethereal, and the
co-ordination is a model of sophis- |
tication.

The cast is as follows: |

Gym Turns Medieval
For Sleeping Beauty|



The Dance Club’s performance
of Sleeping Beauty, at nine o’clock
Thursday and Friday evening, |
promises to surprise its audience |
with gay, unusual dances and |
weird lighting effects. With the
gym as a medieval castle towering
in the background, hobby horses,
peasants, rose bushes, and royalty
will go into their dance on: the |
front lawn. Not to be outdone by
Midsummer Night’s -Dream, the
club has even imported one male
lead to be a pillow-stuffed king
with spindly legs.
