Dr. Putnam Finds
Clue to Mediaeval

Life in Legal Data!



Criminal Records Are Substitute
For Non-Extant Current
Literary Works



OLD TRIALS TOOK PLACE
OF MOVING PICTURES

Goodhart, February 21.—Under the
title of The Usefulness of Crime in
Mediaeval England, Dr. Bertha Ha-
ven Putnam, Professor Emeritus of
History of Mount Holyoke College,
discussed the normal life of the éoun=

try people of England in the four-
teenth and fifteenth centuries. They
are revealed “not as a static, deeply
religious people, but rather a profiteer-
ing, vociferous, turbulent: people.”

The criminality of the Middle Ages
was really the contemporary. obses-
sion for litigation. “People went to
court as we go to the movies,” and
the most respectable people were con-
stantly being indicted and bringing
cases for violent crimes. Crime was
useful, therefore, Dr. Putnam ex-
plained, because the records of fel-
onies and misdemeanors and of the
legal measures dealing with them fill
in the almost complete lack of liter-
ary material which has always made
the English middle class of this period
seem unknowable.

The use of English in the law
courts was required by the fourteenth
century, but the records continued to
be in extremely bad Latin frequently
interspersed with French and Eng-
‘lish, Concerning literacy, said Dr.
Putnam, we have™“anly the _negative|~
evidence that books weré~ among the] #
few articles that were seldom. stolen.

Manuscripts held by church _libra-
ries, which had a high thaterial value,
were occasionally stolen—and_ the
were usually ecclesiastics.

The court records show ,the large
number of murders and thefts and the
frequency of such illegalities‘as packed
juries, bought pardons (an extremely
profitable trade for the crown), forged
licenses and charges.

Peace was constantly menaced by
large gangs ready for murder, rioting
and housebreaking on the’ slightest
provocation. Governing officials were
often murdered and maltreated, “bail-
iffs. made to eat. their warrants,” and



_ court sessions broken up. A vast un-

‘derworld of cheating gamblers, eaves-
droppers, poisoners, and the like, was
revealed, but we do nat know what
class of people most of them were.
The amount of litigation which re-
sulted from the attempt to enforce:the
Statute of Laborers of 1351 throws
light on economic conditions. Normal
and excessive wages are listed, and in-
dictments for such crimes_as buying
an article for three pence and selling
it for eight, or “taking money for an
unsuccessful attempt: to cure illness,”

Isabel Stearns Speaks
On Individual’s Nature



Existence and Change Depend on
Dynamic Relations



At @ meeting of the Philosophy|

Club, Isabel ‘Stearns, member of the

Philosophy Department at Smith Col-
lege, spoke on the nature of the in-
dividual. The nature of the indivi-
dual, Miss. Stearns believes, is such
that it is indefinite and unlimited, but
becomes definite and undergoes limi-
tation. Its whole life is dynamic, for
in its striving it never realizes the
end, which is to be complete, realizing
only subsidiary ends. The individual
both contains and tends towards the
object of its endeavor which it con-

¢tains in the form of a question.

_ The opposition between the self and
the not-self is felt in resistance, but
is never complete opposition. The self
merges, but never completely, with
aspects of the not-self. Knowledge. of
the not-self is only through relations;
thus, since pure other is an ontolog-

ical impossibility, the preservation, the):

existence of the individual, depends
upon the fact of its entering into real
relations.

The individual in motion, insofar
as it is aware of itself, is aware of
a struggle or an endeavor. There is
never complete rest, but varying de-
grees of motion. The conatus, or
power to maintain existence, is the
power thrdéugh which the individual
controls itself through itself. . Phe co-
natus is manifested temporally, asa
drive towards something as yet un-
realized. * It is transition, the content
of which is effort. Since the effort is
towards attainment, the drive is
to-wards a further existence which is
necessarily different from the present
mode of existence. Thus the conatus
is an attempt to change the mode of
existence. Modes of existence cannot
be changed without the addition of
something new. It is for this reason
that the individual goes outside itself
towards other individuals. Through
contact, the individual’s mode is
changed, but the individual keeps it-
self from complete fusion with another
by maintaining its tendencies. It is
tlte individual as the source of motion
which maintains the identity of the
individual. ; a

The individual is intension with rane
poral existence. .The bare element of
extension separates these stages and
separates individuals as intensions

Miss Strack Discusses - : Trio Classique to Make

U.S.S.R. Peace Policy

Speaker Traces its History, its
Relation to Collective
Security

RUSSIAN AIM PACIFISTIC







Common Room, February 21.—Miss.
Celeste Strack, national secretary of
the Young Communists’ League, spoke
at a joint meeting of the International
Relations Club and the A. S. U. on

the peace policy of the U. S. S. R. and
its relation to collective security.
Miss Strack maintained that Commu-|
nists and the Soviet Union work for
peace as essential to the welfare of
the world.

Miss. Strack says that, from the
standpoint of a Marxian Communist,
there can be no true peace until so-
cialism :has been established through-
out the world. A peace gained’ now
by collective action against the ag-
gressor nations might be continued
into a permanent peace by defeating
the forces of reaction and giving the
nations of the world opportunity to
develop without violence into socialist
states. If the democracies acted now,

though economic forces, the growing | °

“Fascist
destroyed.

In tracing the history of the Soviet’s
peacé’ policy, Miss- Strack divided it
into three periods. At first Russia
asked only peace for herself in order
to do reconstruction after the war.
During the 20s the Soviet made suc-
cessive proposals to other nations for
reductions in armaments.

Freshmen Present —

Smoothly Produced

But Dull Crasade.

Good Scenery, Staging, Music



Expended on Pointless’
Dragging Plot



FOX “LAYS OBSCURE”
UNTIL PROPER TIME

Goodhart. Hall, February 19.—The
Freshman Show adhered strictly to
its original, the Third @rusade. The
Third Crusade was only a moral vie-
tory. In former years there has been
an effort to spice the shows with
pointed take-offs and jocular farce.
The class of 1941, preferring more
artistic entertainment, chose rather
take-offs without point and farce
without jokes. In addition they sup-
plied excellent scenery, mild but tune-
ful music and quiet amusement.

The plot of Asleep and .Better To
Be That Way revolved slowly around
four dead kings. The scene was laid
in camp where two of the kings,



Philip of France and Richard Coeur —

de Lion, were crusading with their
lusty wives. The nebulous tale on
which the story hung was the Anglo-
French quarrel over the death of
Barbarossa, former ruler of Ger-
many.

As a result of~this enmity, the sol-
diers went on strike and the queens
grew restless. Meanwhile queer little
D. T. animals trembled around read-
ing a sas out of a bound copy
of the New York Times. Eventually,
however, mediator King Arthur, a
ghost, and solution King Barbarossa,
another ghost, looked in on the melée
and settled the situation.

Dramatic honors- were divided be-
tween Elinore of Aquitaine (Rosemary
Sprague) and Berengaria (Ernestine
Gallucci). Reminiscent of Amphy-

trion 38, Act 2 was the scene between ;

them while they discussed the aridity
of desert life and threw peas on the
floor in fits of passion. Speaking of
custom’s officials, Berengaria_ said
with a_shrug more readily associated
with Clara Bow than an English
monarch, “Oh, how I hate to have
men going through my things!” Out-

standing in the show was Elinore’s .

speech as’ she threw open the hanging
of her tiny tent, “I don’t care what
you say, Philip, 7 think it’s hot in
here.”

Against this sultry background of
queenly plots and _ counter-plots,
minced two attractive, if meaningless
young lovers, Julian (Louise French)
and Julia (Anne Kidder). Together
they sang two very pleasant songs
about spring and love, smacking
heavily of Gilbert and Sullivan. Kid-
der, especially, sang with assurance

and gestured in true G. & S. shy-little-

_| maiden style.

The two ghostly monarchs, King >
Arthur (Virginia Sherwood) and
Barbarossa (Ruth Ann Goldberg)
provided an interesting contrast. Bar-
barossa exudéd such ecstasies of de-
light in his beard and his Rhine
maidens that he was in constant dan-
ger of charging headlong into the
footlights. The English spectre, in his
bored British way, was completely
convincing, even down to his aloof
and distant voice.

Scenery,. as -We-have-said,.was ex-
cellent. The lighting for the third

act’ was certainly effective, as was .

A: New Curfew

The reform, last ‘Fall, of the rules of the Self-Government Board
was" planned and carried out in order that they shotld be. clarified.
The major achievement of this decision was to eliminate some permis-
“sions and to state clearly what permissions are still necessary and possi-
“ble.
“eertain cases as to be either ambiguous, or commonly misinterpreted.
It is our belief that much of this complication would be removed with
one important change: That is, we advocate that the rules be changed
so that the. doors of the halls are unlocked until eleven-thirty. - |

The fact that Self-Government allows the students to sign out
“till eleven-thirty without permission, and that it ‘is possible under the
existing rules to go out till then every night makes the ten-thirty rule
an inconsistency. Most door-opening by the wardens comes between
ten-thirty and eleven-thirty, and if the doors were left unlocked the
wardens’. duties would be considerably easier. Also, a new “eleven-
thirty rule would eliminate the complicated permissions to go off
‘eampus after informal entertainments in Goodhart. Most lectures,
plays, and recitals end between ten and ten forty-five, and the Self-
. Government would not need to give permission. Under the present
system, the forty-five minutes allowed by Self-Government. does not
give a student time to go back to the hall to get. permission, sign out,

~~ and then to-go to-the ‘village; have something to eat, and come back.

Because of the time wasted in returning to the halls the practice is for.
the student to ask someone else to sign her out, which is agai Self-

Government rules and very awkward when by some mistake she isynot
signed out. Coming back from vacations or weekends in cities as near
as New York, under a new eleven-thirty rule, it would be possiblé to
leave after-dinner without getting special permission—while it is
necessary to take an eight o’clock train and cut dinner short to get
back by ten-thirty. The proposed rule revision would also make it
possible for students who want to:eat in the village at night to stay in
the library until it closes.

The fact that people would be slightly more free tos go off campus
after ten should not make any difference in the amount of time they
would waste. The new rule wold not add to the number of places to
which one can go without permission after ten-thirty, except for the
Greeks’ and other halls; it would not make it possible to go anywhere
except to the village, faculty houses, or other halls without permission.

. Under the present Self-Government rules, people do go to the Greeks’
either before ten-thirty, or after the movies, or with some other per-
mission whieh makes it possible to go there. It does not seem likely to

rose. Costumes were colorful and
luxurious, lacking the usual cheese
cloth and crepe paper aspect of so
many amateur dramatics.

Between the acts, Betsy Dimock

and Helen MacIntosh rushed onto the i
stage, breathing the spirit of rowdy

noisomeness so apparent in its ab-
sence from the show. ‘Who bid for
this poster?” asked the Little Dim-
ock. ‘Rockefeller,’ came the _an-
swer. “You!” she shrieked, “Aw,
come on, you can do better than ten
dollars.”

The crowds were well-managed like
those in Cecil. B. deMille ‘films, and
equally ineffectual. When one group
assured" us that they were campfire
boys, we did not doubt them for a
minute. And their marching-‘songs
lacked only-a Nelson Eddy.

As the“turtain was about to come
down, a handsome little fox, well

“ @aged, was rolled on the stage, a com-

plete surprise. to all but his owners.
The song accompanying his triumphal

entrance was:

The freshmen should be lauded for
their effort to give the college a more
solid spectacle than in former years.
They ‘showed industry and skill in
staging and ‘musical arrangement.
Where. the show fell-down was in the
plot and the dialogue ‘which dragged
heavily without the lightening touch
of humor. It is ‘unfortunate so much

poor a vehicle. Asleep we were,. but
was it better to be that way?

tural aspects of this army in its de-
parture from militarism. :
- Certain aims of the League of Na-
tions kept Russia from joining it.
The League.meant to enforce. the
terms of the Versailles treaty of which
Russia did not approve. It also served,
in the early years, as a league of all
nations against ‘the revolutionary
movement, in a way similar to Met-
terni¢gh’s Holy Alliance. Only the
less emphasized aim of preventing fu-
ture wars was in accord with the
Soviet program.

In 1931 the scene was shaken by the
emergence of Fascism and the Com-
munists and Russia shifted their ac-
tions. Miss Strack blames the. rise
of the Fascist states as much on the
internal organization of the countries
as on their economic difficulties. She
‘says that the ruling/cliques found
that they could no longer maintain
their position under democracy with
the increasing desire for a juster so-
cial and political order. They im-
posed wage cuts by: force they con-
tinued in power, and then distracted

Within the Fascist countries there
are also forces working for peace,
which a program of collecti®e security
in the other countries would encour-

been, says Miss Strack, the definition
of’an “aggressor nation,” Litvinoff’s
expression that “peace is indivisible,”
and her use of pacts and treaties for
mutual defense.
present ‘effect of these. Czechoslova-
kia, with whom Russia has made such
a pact, was the Jast of the smali Eu-
ropean nations to be threatened by
Hitler, because, she says, of fear of
Russia.

Miss Strack urges that Americans
must realize that the United States
is the most powerful nation ‘in the
world. She discussed the results that
could have been achieved in Ethiopia,

Spain and China if there had been

international collaboration. Our duty,
therefore, she says, is to impel our na-
tional foreign policy towards a pro-
gram of collective security.

CURRENT EVENTS:







(Gleaned from Mr. Fenwick)
In his speech to the Reichstag on
February 20, Hitler emphasized the
tohs. af, + bagi anc < Setgeae-
all people of German blood. Austria
was the first of the central European

tempts to take over Czechoslovakia,
Hungary and Poland will follow in
the more or less distant future as an
effort to. open up a. path to the
Ukraine, the Nazis’ ultimate goal.

With the excuse of protecting South
Germans, Hitler threatened invasion
of Austria, unless it appointed a Nazi
Foreign Minister_and Minister of the
Interior. This means that Austrian
foreign policy will be virtually under
the direction of the Fuhrer and every
phase of civilian life will be under-
mined by Nazi, propaganda. Austria
cannot, withstand this force.

The resignation of England’s For-
eign Minister Anthony Eden brought
to a crisis the split which has existed
within the cabinet since his appoint-
ment two years.ago. Mr. Eden feels
that Great Britain must support the
League and enforce collective secur-
ity. Prime Minister Chamberlain,
backed by the Conservative party, be-
lieves that any concession to the dic-
tators is justifiable if it will postpone
immediate war. Meanwhile Britain
is rushing her vast rearmament pro-
gram.

to itself, for if it remains outside
itself, the change brought about by
contact with other individuals remains
merely an extensional change, or a
change in its relations, and does not
become a change in the individual it-

If individuals did not come in con-
tact with each other, intension -and
extension would be merely potential
factors. The factor of actuality

makes. it metaphysically possible to’

surmount extension. ~ Actuality, how-
