Bryn Mawr College, 1940



Council Holds
lts First Meeting
Of College Year|

Freshman Week, Assembly
Speakers, League Plan
Discussed



At the first meeting of the year,
the College Council discussed the
League report made last year con-

cerning the maids and _ porters.

They also considered new plans
for Freshman Week, possible
speakers for undergraduate assem-
blies, and the schedule for alum-
nae week-end. ‘

In accordance with a suggestion
made by the Bryn Mawr League,
the use of the Merion tennis court
on Wednesdays by the maids and
porters has been arranged. If this
one court proves inadequate the
varsity courts will also be made
available.

The League report was encour-
aging about summer jobs for the
maids and porters. The college
has taken up the suggestion of a
sick fund and a room in the in-
firmary for them. The Merion art
room is now. being equipped for
recreation purposes.

There was a general feeling that
Freshman Week* had been very
successful. Certain additions for
next year were suggested, such as
small teas given by the college for
faculty and freshmen on. the first
Saturday. The buffet supper for
non-resident freshmen, being given
before Lantern Night,
held Sunday night - of
Freshman Week.

It is hoped that ‘there will be a
college assembly devoted to some
phase of democracy towards the
end of October. Various speakers
were Anentioned as possibilities.

. The Council also discussed the
Alumnae week-end,

wing by Mr. Taylor, the exhibition
of paintings lent to the college for
this occasion, and Mr. Carpenter’s
talk on his own work in Rome last
year.

Gala Torchlight Parade Opens Willkie Rally
Oren Root Speaks to Enthusiastic Audience



Band and Torchlight Parade Rock Campus
As Bryn Mawrters Howl “We Want Willkie”



The Willkie enthusiasts did well
by themselves and by Mr. Oren
Root, Jr., on Monday evening. A
long but well-organized torchlight
parade was the mainspring' of their
fun and excitement. It formed at
about 7.30 on the’ hockey field and
was made up _ of _ Haverford,
Swarthmore and Villanova students
as well as those from Bryn Mawr.

Led by the Bryn Mawr Fire-
men’s Band and by torchbearers,

it marched up the steps from the|~

hockey field, its banners held high.
As it pounded across the’ campus
towards Goodhart Hall, it sang

tunes which are touchstones of
Americana, its history, its legends
and its political campaigns.

Then with banners lowered to
enter the door, the parade filed
into Goodhart and, with its ban-
ners up once more, it stood facing
the stage shouting, “We Want
Willkie! We Want Willkie!” Then
the band struck up once again:
“We’re for Willkie and McNary.

Every -State they’re going to
carry.” 2
After that, the National Anthem

was played and then the speeches
began.

At the very top of the mural stands
a family group, man, woman and

Edueation’s Function

Sunday October

Dr. Neilson, former
Smith College, defined Democracy
as “that form of government which

Neilson enumerated subjects

tion to prepare the individual for

the world of today.

He said that the social sciences,
the classics and science should be
taught. The classics and the so-
cial sciences teach us to scrutinize
other forms of government and to
compare them to our own. Science
teaches us to develop accuracy,
imagination, and respect for facts.
Dr. Neilson also believes that geog-
raphy should be taught in college
to free the individual from the
confining influences of provincial-
ism.

At the end of the lecture, Dr.
Neilson was asked what he thought
of the educational system now in
operation at St. John’s College,
in Maryland. He replied that he
does not approve of a system in
which freshmen are~ expected to
study, in an unfamiliar language,
some of the most profound philoso-
phic and political works of the
ancients.

Roosevelt Regime Attacked;
Speakers Urge Willkie
Election



Goodhart Auditorium, October
14.—The Willkie rally on Monday
night dealt with the problems con-
fronting the United States today,
with the inadequacy of the present
administration’s measures to solve
these problems, and urged the vital
need of restoring government effi-
ciency and honesty. The speakers

jwere Oren Root, Jr., chairman of |

the Associated Willkie Clubs of
America and leader of the Willkie-
for-President movement, Herbert
F. Frazier, professor of economics
at Swarthmore College, Samuel
Ewing, vice-president. of the Young
Republicans of Pennsylvania, and
Virginia Sherwood of the class of
1941.

Mr. Root prefaced his speech
with these words: “Neither the Re-
publican nor the Democratic party
in our history has a monopoly of
virtue. We have progressed under
both, but we are not progressing
now.” The Democratic doctrine
that the President is an indispen-
sable man is based on the belief
that his foreign policy is unassail-
able. Actually, the Democratic
foreign policy has failed in three
all-important essentials.

If the United States is to be in-

fluential in the world, it- must be

History of Geology
Is Lecture Subject



On Monday, October 21, a series
of lectures on the History of Sci-
ence will open. Miss Wykoff will
give the first talk on The Begin-
nings of Modern Geology. Her lec-
ture will begin at 7.30 in the Minor
Biology room on the second floor of
Dalton. The series will be com-
pleted with a lecture by Mr. Weiss
of the philosophy department on
the logic of science.

This series is being sponsored by
the Science Club and the Curricu-
lum Committee is also backing the
experiment in~ interdepartmental
cooperation in the hope that it will
lead to a science course next year
to which several departments will
contribute.

TUTY acces

The relation of science and phil-
osophy was interpreted anew.
“Philosophers put up with anything
in this field,” confided one student.
Another related that’ “the develop-

|Summer mood could have inspired

the vision of the philosophers who
“took their ease” and “were able

‘to peacefully build the picture of

the delicate manners of the human
soul.”
Our time and space, “mis hors de



jeu,” were claimed to be made out
of sport, beyond gambling, or na-
turally taken up by hours of play.

As interpreters of Benjamin
Franklin’s healthful practices, the
oral-takers were more sympathetic
than accurate. They pointed’ out,
how very difficult it is “not to en-
joy too much the small” things, or
“not to scold little ones a lot” when

all seemed ridiculous to Franklin. ..

But one student stated definitely
and frankly that “The restraint
that some people have is at their

| American Neutrality’s Failure
|

|

|

|





Analyzed in New Book
By Fenwick



By Agnes Mason, °42

Mr. Fenwick has just published
a new book, American Neutrality,
Trial and Failure. In it he criti-
cizes the neutral position which,
no moral distinction be-
tween tite aggressor and his victim,
stands.out against law and order.
Attacking the adoption of neutral-
ity after war has been declared, Mr.
Fenwick criticized, still more se-
verely, the failure to bring pres-
sure against a potential aggressor
in time of peace, when war might
still be averted.

Starting with Grotius 1625, Mr.
Fenwick traces generally the de-
velopment of the “law .of neuttal-
ity” up to the present day. He
gives particular attention to the
problems confronting the’ ‘United
States as a neutral during the
Napoleonic and ‘World wars, and
to neutrality legislation since 1918,
He stresses the difficulties of main-
taining the neutral position, which
is constantly jeopardized by un-
controllable emotion and the vul-
nerability of commercial interests.
Peace “must be based upon two
distinct principles: the repression
of violence and the: promotion of
justice.” Indefinite maintenance
of the status quo is impossible, and
peaceful change must be. encour-
aged if violent change is to be
avoided.

Into 152 clearly written pages
Mr. Fenwick has packed a great
deal of illuminating information.
He claims that neutrality is im-
moral and his position has much to
support it.

L. Morley, "40, Speaks
During Open’ Meeting

Of the Peace Council

Pembroke East, Monday, October
| 14.—Miss Louise Morley, ’40, spoke
|to an open meeting of the Peace
| Council on the International Stu-
dent Service. Miss Morley is now
| working for this organization to
which the Peace Council has sent
aid for the last two years.

: The International Student Serv-
ice has joined the Intercollegiate
Christian Council and the Far
Eastern Student Service for the
purpose of making a joint drive
to aid foreign students instead of
their usual, individual drives. The
fund raised will be called the
World Student Service Fund and
will go directly to student relief
abroad.

As there is almost no university
life abroad, the money is used very
largely for the physical needs of
students who.are without means of
support or are in prison camps.
The fund is distributed impartially
by Swiss organizations and is sent
to students of all nationalities and
'to nearly all countries. Money
cannot be sent into England for
this purpose since the - students
there are taking part in the actual
fighting. Ten percent of the fund
will be saved for refugees needing
money to take advantage of Amer-
ican scholarships.

Besides the World Student Serv-
ice campaign there is also a drive
for the International Student
Service. This fund is to go toward
overhead costs and is just as badly
needed as that for relief. Without
the fund for office costs, Miss Mor-

Academic Cooperation
Expected to Expand
Privilege of Student



It has been proposed that Hav-
erford, Swarthmore and. Bryn
Mawr cooperate to enjoy the indi-
vidualsacademic and extra-curricu-
lar privileges each offers.

The schedules of lecture periods
at Bryn Mawr and Haverford
must be changed to facilitate this
cooperation. Next semester an ad-
justment will be planned in one
college or the other to make this
interchange possible.

Swarthmore is too far away to
exchange regular scheduled
courses with Bryn Mawr, but it is
possible to enjoy mutually extra-
curricular activities. Lectures and
talks outside class hours may be
arranged to benefit students of
both colleges. Transportation will
be provided in these cases. id

In the past-there has. been a cer-
tain aniount of cooperation between
Haverford and Bryn Mawr. The
choirs have sung together, play
casts have been picked from. both
colleges, and a few students have
exchanged courses.

Heilperin, Well-Known

Economist, to Teach



Two Classes at B. M.:

Michael A. Heilperin,
teaching Money and Banking and
Advanced Economics this year,
brings to Bryn Mawr.a wide ex-
perience in the field of interna-
tional economics. From his home
in Warsaw, Poland, Mr. Heilperin
went to the University of Geneva,
where he received a doctorate of
science in 1931.

He was in the United States
during the years of 1933 to 1935,
as a Fellow of the Rockefeller
Foundation, to study American
banking problems and. the New
Deal. Returning to Geneva, Mr.
Heilperin carried his study to the
New Deals of European countries
such as France and Belgium, and
lectured at the University on In-
ternational Economic Relations.

To observers in Geneva, Mr. Heil-
perin said, the present war seemed
inevitable after Munich.
lieves that. “if the dictators were
to be stopped, it had to be done
before they acquired the conviction
that they were invincible. There
were people who believed the am-
bitions of Hitler were limited, but
we in Geneva didn’t think so.” .

In 19389 Mr. Heilperin returned
to America, where he taught at the
University of California. for one
semester. He then lectured on a
tour that was under the auspices
of the. Institute.of International
Education.

As to the possible outcome of the
war, Mr. Heilperin thinks that un-
less Great Britain wins, totalitarian
trade methods will dominate all
countries but America, ahd will
probably filter into the United
States, causing this country to
adopt a more rigid trade policy in
self-defense.

“War,” Mr. .-Heilperin --said,
“doesn’t really solve anything, but
creates the possibility of seeking a
solution.” A _ totalitarian defeat
‘will make it possible to work to-
wards a gradual solution in the
direction of international reorgani-
zation, and_ the
democratic methods.

After the last war, the fact that

‘it takes time, effort and sacrifice to|

build up. international order was
not fully realized. It is necessary,
said Mr. Heilperin, to work for
years on a program of reconstruc-
tion. America, in its comparative
quiet, can stop and think the issues
through, for the opportunity of
reconstruction at the end of the
war is great, and peac®affis, even
more than war aims, must Be de-
termined.

Mr. Heilperin is the author of
books on many problems, the lat-
est among them International Mon-
etary Economics, published in 1939.
He was interested to find the works
of his father’s cousin, Angelo Heil-
perin, catalogued next to his in the
library files. Angelo Heilperin
founded the Geographical Society
of Philadelphia, and conducted the
Peary relief expedition to the
North Pole. :

EATH BREATHES CLOSE
D BEHIND many a news-
man today... but nowhere
closer and hotter than along
“newspaper row” in Shang-
hai.

Before every entrance of
the old and respected Shang-
hai Evening Post & Mercury
—American-owned anid just
across the street from the
International Settlement—
stand armored cars, pill-
boxes, barbed wire barri-
cades, and guards with
drawn guns.

Randall Gould, editor of
the Shanghai Evening
Post & Mercury, dogged
resister of a puppet
dictator.

> For the terrorists who serve either the Japanese
or their Chinese puppet, Wang Ching-wei, have
bombed the Post plant five times, slaughteted
guards, wounded pressmen, and last month mur-
dered Samuel H. Chang, director of the Post and
its Chinese edition, the Ta Mei Wan Pao.

Cornelius V. Starr, owner, and Randall Gould,
editor, have been ordered out of the country by the
puppet regime. Neither paid any attention. Gould
is still at his post; Starr stayed four months, came
home when he got ready, plans to return soon.

And they are hot ‘alone: four other Americans
and one Briton similarly threatened have dug in
their toes, strapped on guns, and called the Jap
bluff.

& Why are the invaders of China trying to drive
U.S. newsmen out of the country?

Because these resolute Americans, controlling vi-
tal news outlets from the unique and unmanageable
city-state of Shanghai, stand square in the road
of Japanese conquest. For Japan must control the
mind and morale of its subject peoples, must direct
world-thinking the Japanese way, if it is ever

to realize the dream of a “Greater East Asia”—2
domination of China, India, the Indo-Chinese pe-

ninsula, and all the East Indies — the
Philippines.

> Now that Japan atid her allies in veneer have
formally threatened war on the U. S., if any resist-
ance is made to such aggressive plans, it is time for
the American news-reader to study as never before
the dispatches of his courageous correspondents in

the Far East.
Our typical attitude toward China since the Jap
invasion has been the usual friendly American sym-
: I



pathy for ‘the underdog. But now our interest in/
China goes much further than this. Now the top
dog is snarling at us, and every intelligent news-
reader knows what a tight spot we shall be in if mee
underdog relaxes his grip.

® Most Americans are glad to find that our inter-
ests coincide with those of the Chinese people/ We
have grown to like them, their peaceful and philo-.
sophic way of looking at life, their tenacity and
courage in misfortune, the beautiful things they
make, and the humorous things they say.

Perhaps we don’t realize that the Chinese, in their
turn,-have grown to like us. They are grateful for
the medical knowledge that has routed/some of
their worst diseases, for the industrial technics that
have helped them put up such a good fight. Many of
them are grateful for the Christian religion. They
remember how we backed up their dream of build-
ing a new, strong China. And they are glad to get
the things we have to sell. Contrary to popular
opinion, they like the Standard Oil Co. which
brings them the. blessings,of ‘kerosene... and they
find a thousand uses for the cans it comes:in.

> Brilliant Chinese leaders by the score owe their
education to American universities. A chief official
of the Chinese information ministry, Hollington K.
Tong, is a graduate of the journalism schools of the
Universities of Missouri and Columbia. Our schools

_ of journalism have had more effect, proportion-

ately, on Chinese newspapers than on our own.
The old notion that “You can’t understand the

*

Oriental mind” is being dispelled by able ‘writers
and journalists of both races. Lin Yutang and Mme.
Chiang Kai-shek show us China from the inside—
John Gunther and Carl Crow from the outside. J. B.
Powell continues to give us his important journal
of opinion, the China Weekly Review, though he
is on Wang’s blacklist and has to have a bodyguard.

And just as important as the books and maga-
zines are the day-by-day cables... from men like
A. T. Steele of the Chicago Daily News, the N. Y.
Times’ Hallet Abend, and Tillman Durdin, and
TIME’s own T. H. White, who came via Harvard and
the Chinese information ministry, and is now on the
hot spot in Indo-China.

> Sometimes readers ask why TIME devotes so much
space to the Orient. It is because TIME has always
believed that the day would come when an under-
standing of that area with its billion people, half
the population of the earth, might be of the utmost

importance to America.

‘How the good will of these people can be chan-
nelled ‘and become a force in world strategy is a
profound’cthallenge. But on such intangibles world
history has turned’and tyrannies have fallen.

& This is why TIME, and its sister publication,
FORTUNE and LIFE, have gathered and used such a

storehouse of information on China, Japan, and the

Philippines... and why TIME’s week-by-week anal-
yses of the Far Eastern situation seem to more
thoughtful news-readers essential equipment for
the decisions we face across the Pacific.



In these days of crisis, the free press is more than
ever a vital force in making our democracy a
living, working success. Therefore, TIME is seek-
ing, in this series of advertisements, to give all

college students a clearer picture of what the
press in general, and TIME in particular, is doing
to keep the people of this nation safe, strong,
free, and united.

Dear Miss Clix:

HOW TO WIN BOY-FRIENDS
AND INFLUENCE, STAG-LINES

By Dalea Dorothy Clix ————~+

How can’'I impress our drama teacher that I

ought to get the part of Juliet when our school does “Romeo
and Juliet” this year? The teacher comes from New York, is
handsome, worldly and mature (around 35), but he’s as aloof
as a Greek god on Mt. Olympus. I feel like a babe in arms in

his presence. How can I get the role?

Dear “Aspiring”: I don’t
want to poach on any of
Mr. Freud’s preserves, but
you sound as though your
mind aspires toward the

, drama teacher more than

toward the drama. How-
ever, Juliet was only4four-
teen, so maybe feeling like
a babe in.arms (even his
arms) might help, psycho-
logically. Beyond that, re-
member that an actress
must express deepemotions
with her hands. Make yours
beautiful—and remember,
civilized New Yorkers ex-
pect a woman’s fingernails
to be beautifully colored.
