Peace Council Led
By Francis Deak

Speakers Advocate an Analysis

PEACE BALLOT RESULTS

ARE READ AT MEETING}



Goodhart Hall, April 22.—Taking
as a general. subject what we as mem-
bers of an academic community and
as citizens of the United States can
do to further the cause of peace, Mrs.
Barbara Wootton, British economist,
who is delivering the Anna Howard
Shaw Memorial Lectures, and Mr.
Francis Déak, expert in the field of
international law, spoke to a large
group of students and faculty at the
first college meeting held under the
auspices. of the newly formed Peace
Council.

Miss Esther Hardenbergh, ’37, presi-
dent of the council and presiding of-
ficer at the meeting, introduced the
speakers. She expressed the hope that
what they had to say would stimulate
peace discussions: on the campus and
make it possible for the college as a
whole to take a more intelligent stand
on national and international affairs.

Explaining her own difficulty and
that of her entire generation, “les
mutilés,” in speaking about peace with
the proper academic detachment, Mrs.
Wootton. said ‘that our main job at
present is to achieve the same critical
and constructive attitude toward the
problem of war that we are using in
our domestic problems. She attempted
to make more concrete some of the
generalities of the péace question
which aré often overlooked becausé
of emotion or a tendency to loose sight

of essentials in an endless machina-.

tion. of detail.

«That peace is the-opposite of war,
that all political teaching is close.to
savagery, containing large magical
elements, and that war is not pre-
vented merely by the erection of ade-
quate machinery for its prevention
are three facts which Mrs. Wootton
believes must be more generally re-
alized before there is peace between
the nations of the world. In addition
we must analyze the social, economic
and psychological motives of war, and
bend all our efforts toward an elimi-
nation of the conditions which result
in conflict. ee

Princeton Conference
Covers Literary Fields



Delegation Had “No Aim” Except
Exchange of Experience *



Princeton, N. J., April 24.—Prince- |

ton University welcomed delegates
yesterday to an Intercollegiate Liter-
ary Conference which is believed to be
the second of its kind ever held. The
aim, said the chairman, Thomas Riggs,
Jr., ’37, was that “there was no aim,”
except the exchange of experience in
collegiate literary fields. Two general
sessions and two round table discus-
sions were held today and yesterday.

In addition to the delegates from
about 20 colleges and ‘universities,
Princetot had also asked a group of
prominent men in the fields of editing,
publishing, drama, poetry, novel and
short-story writing and journalism.
Among these guests were Gelett Bur-
gess, Leland Stowe, Babette Deutsch,
Lincoln Kerstein, William Carlos Wil-
liams and Joseph Freeman. The Bryn
Mawr delegates, Agnes Allinson, ’37,
and Janet Thom, ’38, attended the two
sessions of the journalism conferente,
where Leland Stowe, correspondent-
at- large for the New York Herald-
Tribune, was the guest.

At 2 p. m. Friday the conference
began after general registration with
a meeting in Whig Hall auditorium,
and speeches by Thomas Riggs, Pro-
fessor Hoyt Hudson and Dean Chris-
tian Gauss. The first discussion ses-
sions were held from 3 to 6 Friday
afternoon, and the dinner that eve-
ning was, at the Nassau Inn. A

Unider the auspices of Mr. J. Henry
Seattergood, treasurer of the Board
of Trustees of Bryn Mawr and chair-
man of the Board of Trustees of
Hampton Institute, three. members of
Bryn Mawr attended the 69th Anni-
versary Celebration of the founding
of Hampton Institute last weekend.

’ Clara Hardin, graduate student; Alice

G. King, ’37, and Lucile Sauder, 39,
were the three Bryn Mawr representa-
tives and were joined by Mrs. Barbara
Wootton. on Saturday. Hampton, the
first vocational school for Negroes,
founded by General Samuel Chapman
Armstrong, has grown to tremendous

proportions and is now one of the.

most beautiful and noteworthy colleges
‘in the country.

Exhibitihg true Southern hospital-
ity, students, faculty and administra-
tion officérs did everything to further

the enjoyment of the 100 oy more

guests. at the celebration. The entire
college was on exhibit; ‘students cheer-

eral occasions notwithstanding the

strenuous tour they had just com-
pleted.

A~highlight of the anniversary ex-
ercises was an address by Dr. Am-
brose Caliver, Negro education spe-
cialist of the United, States Bureau-of
Education, on the Educational Needs
of the Negro. Although Dr. Caliver’s
text was concerned primarily with-the
Negro, much that he said is pertinent
to all education. The following ex-
cerpts, reprinted from the Southern
Workman, illustrate this point: “Now
is a new day in the life of the Negro,
because ,it is a new day in the life
of the nation, and Hampton, like every
other educational institution, for white
and colored alike, must recognize its
progress in terms of the requiremenés
of this day.”

A more sympathetic attitude is
necessary toward the vocational school.
“Education through occupations com-
bines within itself more of the fac-
tors conducive to learning than any
other method,” he stated. Many work-
ers are needed and must be trained in
the new methods. They must be versa-
tile and. wef. sp cialized, and must be

able -to correlate those things whiets,

British Unions Show
Moderate Attitude



Workers’ Greatest Achievement
As Day-to-Day Defense _

From Injustice



VIOLENT STRIKES CEASE



Goodhart, April. 19.—In the. fourth
Shaw lecture, on Workers’ Organiza-
tions: wAchievements and Problems,
Mrs. Barbara Wootoon showed: the
middle-aged moderation of the British
Trade Unions, which are an estab-
lished part of society. “The unspec-
tacular, day-to-day defense” of the
workers from little injustices #¢ per-
haps their greatest achievement,” con-
cluded Mrs. Wootton. The fact that
all.workers’ organizations are formed,
supported and lead by the workers
was also stressed. Intellectual rad-
icals have little part in them.

The enrollment in unions is about,

a fourth of the British, workers. The
number of membérs does not increase
quite fast enough to keep pace with
the population increase, but the unions
have steadily gained in internal
strength and efficiency. Their power
is evidenced by the fact that no or-
ganization dealing with workers in
any way would be formed without
union members, and no labor législa-
tion would be drawn up without con-
sultation with union heads. ~

The Cooperative Society is the other
great but unobtrusive workers’ or-
ganization. Distributive stores, to
which 40 per cent of the wage-earners
belong, are run by the elected repre-
sentatives of the consumers, to whom
the profits are returned. Every mem-
ber has a single. vote, regardless of
the’ number of sharés he owns.
society also holds “classes” for house-
wives to enable the women ‘to escape
the home routine for a little. while
and take part in valuable discussiogs
on education, child phychology, hous-
ing and economics.

The non-militarism of British trade
unions as compared with those in the
United States is due chiefly .to the
close connection of the unions with the
Labor Party, a constitutional opposi-
tion group. The party will not risk
unpopularity resulting from small
agitations and strikes, often: fruitless,
but rather waits until it has a firm
majority in Parliament and _ then
makes fundamental reforms. Also
British unions won long ago most of
the rights for which the “infant”
American unions-are now crying.

The Trades Union Act of 1927,
passed after the general strike in
1926, forbids sympathetic _ strikes,
strikes to force any political agtion
and restricts picketing. As Mrs.
Wootton explained in the discussion
in the Common Room, this law would
simply be overridden, sif there were
rampant discontent and desire for an-
other general strike, but it does check
x sega Violence.

The unions _have—enormous_ control
over peaceful working problems.
Many of them have judicial functions,
some administer rélief and carry “out
other government activities, and all
play ‘a vital part in: every agreement
on wages, hours and conditions. They

of the. present situation, she dealt
mainly with the spirit of the govern-
ment forces, of the international corps

own countries. Miss Munoz stressed
her conviction that the war in Spain

Goodhart Hall, April_24—O modi-

spectator, modified by the not-impure-
but-somewhat-exacting critic. Its
cause ‘is The Mikado, resulting in
speechless admiration and muscle-
bound hands. And this in spite of an
imaginary yardstick which measured ©
relentlessly... For..we are D’Oyly

at the shtine of Martyn Green; and
we digested and found nothing want-

As not-impure, etc., critics, however,
we must dissect the Glee Club’s tri-

microscopic eye primarily on the
Voice. By a process of logical deduc-
tion we reached a conclusion. First
we consifered that woman ‘is. endowed

realization that the laws of physics

After that we forgot all about the
laws of physics. Our ear ceased to
listen for the slow vibrations of manly
vocal chords, and was amazed and
pleased by nature’s versatility when
tenor Ko-Ko uttered a soprano Tit-

The crude laurels must be plucked

invariably stylized. They cannot be

they must always be beautiful youths,

to those of singing a tenor part, one
can glow appreciatively at Helen

them.

Time Out of Hand +

The production of the Mikado Friday, and Saturday nights pro-
vided a weekend of excitement to be followed inevitably by a period of
frantic activity, and pessimistic speculation ; perhaps even regret for the
hours past. But in spite of such unavoidable reaction, most people
will agree that the operetta was a Pe a project from every point
of view. Although its annual occurrence robs the excellence, of the
event of any significance worthy of important comment, it is valuable
to emphasize that it has achieved the acclaim of this small campus and
its visitors, and that it seems to deserve the unequivocal entbusiasm
it aroused even in its preparation. :

A college-as small as this has difficulty supporting many extra-
curricular activities handsomely, and the Gilbert and Sullivan tradi-
.tion provides a frivolous occasion impressive enough to be long antici-
pated and reniembered by everyone concerned. It is the focus of inter-
est for the dramatic, aftistic, and musical here, as well as the big
annual project for members of construction and light committees
and numerous enthusiastic volunteers.
logical as well as financial advantages.

On the other hand, perhaps the failure of the one-act play plan
for this spring was in part due to the fact that it seemed not important
enough for the time necessary. The college is always willing to saeri-
fice time for spectacular large events; but without a longer college year,
it seems more and more likely that projects of special interest to a few
will not receive enough practical support to make them worthwhile.
The senior class seems. likely in the future to-confine itself entirely
to comprehensive preparation, and even professional entertainment on
campus receives lamentably little support. Our time is becoming so
short that the prospect of circumscribing our unacademiec college life
begins to threaten.

Neither Here Nor There

In our opinion our “peace strike” compared favorably with the
nation wide’ demonstration ; for in ours the speeches were presented
from amore detached point of view than theirs appeared to be from:
newspaper accounts. Ours lacked the fervor .which marked those, in
New York, but in this avoided the militant peace resulting from clarity
of direction attitude Mrs. Wootton condemned. : :

““The speakers suggested intéllectual and economic ways to check
war, such as groups of international economists to review. world prob-
lems or international arbitration. In New ‘York, as a contrast : “Speak-
ers at several of the rallies denounced Chancellor Hitler of: Germany,
Primier Benito Mussolini of Italy, and General Francisco Franco of

. Spain, as the greatest dangers of war in the near future,” but offered}

no way of checking them except indirect support_of war.

: Although we consider the meeting its 4 successful, we were disap-
pointed in the results of the ballot. Outside of general-approval of a
non-military peace movement, they showed confusion and few ‘clear
opinions ;. ‘in many actual contradictions appeared. With such free-
‘dom of, conscience and speech as we are allowed at Bryn. Mawr, it
would seem possible to develop a more intelligent understanding of

the situation. To realize our advantages and recognize how we are|

-abusing this freedom, we have only to consider that, according to the

' —_—
. May 25 begins the Devon Horse
Show, widely known throughout the
East and in the horsey parts of the
West. Kor Weeks ahead of time Lan-
caster Pike is the scene of a box-car
trail conveying startled horses to
their temporary stables. The show
is undoubtedly a big event and should
be good relaxation between exams. If
you desire a certain amount of exer-
cise, you might apply for a job serv-
ing lunch to the judges. They are
not too particular—and it’s quite
worth your while, for, after the hectic

||luncheon hour, you may roam at ran-

dom over the show grounds watching
the horses or buying hot dogs, as you
prefer,
' This year Valley Forge Military
Academy’s crack cavalry troop will
add some militaristic: precision on
Saturday, May 29, and the following
Monday, which will be the last day.
If you’re uninterested in horses, as
so many people are who appear at:
horsé shows in full regalia, you may
possibly find opportunity to test Dame
Fortune (that vacillating fiend). Two
years ago chances were sold on a cot-|
tage furnished by Good.Housekeeping.
Last year it was a car furnished by
My, Ford. This year it might be any-
thing—even a Japanese cherry -tree.
Sometimes’ they have puppies and
kittens for sale. -Last May we were
passing a rather large basket which
concealed three or four kittens, when
the man in, attendance asked us if
we knew the kitty in the C. & O.
(Chesapeake and Ohio) ads. Of
course we did. — Well,. right there in
the basket was the brother (or sister)
of that famous model who spends her
sleeping in luxurious train
berths.
Also at the show is a whole row
of shops.where you can buy anything
you want—clothes, plants, furniture
or-food. We neglected to say that
the horse show’s surname is And
Country Fair. Maybe that will ex-
plain these little distractions we have
been talking about. We might. add,
personally, that except for the haunt-
ing voice in the megaphone, we like
the distractions-best of all.
In conclusion we point significantly
to the fact that the horse show is
given for the benefit of the Bryn
Mawr Hospital. We need say no
more.
The plans for his year’s show are
well under way. All we have to do
now is pray for clear weather and a
good exam schedule.

Most -good--amateurs have been
known to tise to professional heights:
the professional never leaves them:
This distinction occurred to us during
a performance of Katharine Cornell’s
Candida. It is a play full of inter-
esting people, offering equally splen-
did opportunities either for well-
worked-out characterizations or for
embarrassingly bad acting. It de-
mands professional treatment (which
is by no means synonomous with
Broadway) and it has received it.
The current production, which arrives
in Philadelphia on May 10, is of con-

It is worth while to do a little name-
listing. Mildred’ Natwick as— Miss
Prosperpine Garnett; the paradoxic-
ally prim and outspoken spinster sec-
retary, was thoroughly brisk, irrit-
able and femifine. Kent Smith was
a good-looking and not too unsympa-
thetic James Morrell, but he was
pompous enough and_pig-headed
enough to justify the, Shavian irony
inherent in the play. Morgan Farley
as Alexander Mill, a lesser Morrell
carried out ad:-absurdum, had the un-
mistakable manner of unintelligent
curatical _zeal—-aceompanied—by—anl~
awkward - foreign~-lightness- of -man-
ner. Robert Harris as Eugene
Marchbanks was shy, young and also
in deadly earnest, a somewhat self-
conscious and i
that contrasted with that. of the two
clerics.

This is the cast as listed in the
program except for Candida herself,
whose name never appears in letters
larger than any other characters.
‘This is in the spirit of the entire per-
formance. One might almost say that
the part of Candida was the least
striking in the play. Just as it is
easier to act a character part than a

ciated and remembered afterwards. A
straight part requires a subtler, more
subjective kind of acting, and while
the sense of the entire play is bound
up within it, it is by no means as
spectacular as some of the supporting
parts. Nor was Katharine -Cornell
spectacular. Her Candida was a
genérous clear-sighted womar of more
than average stature, and the play
lived again through her ~as we feel
Shaw must have first conceived. it.

- SENIOR PETITION







petition to the Faculty for a reading
period. It will be considered at a.
Faculty meeting tonight—Ed.)

To the Faculty of Bryn Mawr .Col-
lege:

Whereas we, the Senior Class, feel
that for-many reasons a week’s read-
ing period is necessary immediately
before the Final Examinations in the
major subject, we wish to submit to
the Faculty the following recom-
mendations:

1. That Seniors be excused from
adl work in the major subject for the
last week of scheduled classes, May 9
to May 14;

2. -That Seniors be allowed un-
counted cuts in all other courses,

same period.
Respectfully submitted,
TH5 CLASS OF 1987.

According to general international
law, the extent of “territorial water’
(the waters around a coast, under con-
trol ‘of the territory) is three miles.
The Spanish rebels, among other coun-
tries, claim an extension to six: miles.
Outside Bilbao, Britain has stood firm
on her right to protect all her ships
outside the three-mile line. ‘
The Supreme Court has divided
along'their usual lines in another five-_
to-four decision.. Herndon, a young
Georgian Negro, was arrested for
communistic activities under an old
law against inciting to rebellion. He
was found at a meetitig with literature
advocating a black rebellion, with
extra-constitutional action, and the
formation of a Negro state. There

this propaganda, but he had cam-
paigned for communist membership,
and the party was known to back the
subversive programs. *

The majority claim that Herndon

was not directly inciting to rebellion.

The minority declared that in actively
advocating membership to a violent

party he was inciting to rebellion.

The interesting point is that the’ five

liberals supported Herndon in his com-

munistic activities.

The rights of free speech and press
have never been absolute, but restric-
tions are always much disputed, as
they must be drawn along very fine
lines. For instance, a paper can be
sued for publishing libel. However,

it-is important to note that no paper

can be censored before publication.

Movies, on the other hand, have to»

may go to-a’beautiful part of Ver- "be passed on before release, because

the court held that,- being graphic,
they are more immediately dangerous:
than the press.

Communist and Syndical activities
have always been-somewhat restricted.

propaganda directly advocating im-
mediate violence is illegal. In Cali-
fornia Syndi¢alist associations habitu-
ally use sabotage—deceitful and “ac-
cidental” destruction of property—to
gain their’ énds. The arrest of a
woman describing . and. advocating
Syndicalism was. upheld by the court.
The Herndon case is practically a re-
versal of the California decision.

“Roads Lead to Burope This Summer,
Although. Ways, Means, and Purposes Vary!





Via Youth Hostels,
Tramp Trips or Study Tours
Are Suggested |



'
“This will be the biggest season in

the history of the steamship “lines,”

a polite but busy clerk in the Cunard

office informed us. “Every one is
going abroad this summer.” And his
prediction seems justified — almost
every one we have asked is going.
Some will spend the summer studying
at foreign universities, some _ will
merely travel. Whatever their plans,
they are finding some means of spegd-
ing the vacation abroad.“ We have
been investigating the possibilities of
a summer in Europe or elsewhere at
a cost within the reach of most. of us,

_ and present .the results of our re-

search for the benefit of those, whose
plans are still undecided.

If you wish to combine study with
pleasure, a wide range of opportuni-
ties present themselves, through which

already familiar to many, is the Ex-
periment in. International Living, bet-
ter known to Bryn Mawr as the “Watt
-Trips,” a non-profit making organiza-
tion which enables young. Americans
of high school or college age to spend
a summer living in a foreign family
and to travel by foot or bicycle

Outstanding among these, and |



through Europe. The groups, ‘ieee

five boys and five girls in each, go to
Germany, -France, England and ‘the
Scandinavian countries. Leaders are
usually young men and women who
have taken part in the Experiment in
previous yéars. Every one who has
gone with a “Watt Trip” finds it a
valuable and unforgettable experience
and longs to go again if possible. So
popular is it that the groups are al-
ready filled, with long waiting lists. It
is too late to try the Experiment this
summer, but those wishing to go next
year should get their applications in
early.

For those more intent on the actual
study of a foreign language, the large
univérsities offer a wide variety of
summer courses. A summer at the
University of Heidelburg costs only
250 dollars, complete (except for per-
sonal items) from New York to New
York. Although students do inten-
sive work in the German language,
they have a very good’ time doing it.
Frequent excursions to places” of ‘in-
terest, such as the Bavarian Alps and
informal meetings with German youth
give opportunity for learning conver-
sational German as well as the more
formal work.

If you are planning a summer

study, but canot afford or don’t want

| ed in Europe years before they were

introduced into this country, are plen-
tiful’ “and “usually good.’ “Some are

modern and up to date, others are re-.
coriditioned castles; inns, etc., full of’

“atmosphere.” Youth hostelers travel
light, either on foot or on one of the
superb bicycles (three gears to. maké
hills ‘encountered’ on ‘a 80-mile trip
seem trivial) which may be bought
for about 30 dollars and brought home
for an additional’5 dollars. You either
cook your own food or buy it for 75
cents a day; overnight at the hostels
costs 25 cents, so you can easily man-
age to live on a dollar and a half per
day.

We sought information on the
hostels themselves and received vary-
ing reports.. “They are wonderful—
the nicest people I’ve ever met’? and
“You simply must go ‘to Keswick ' (pro-
nounced Kesik)—they have a marvel-
ous one there.” On the ‘other hand,
we were told, “The beds—like rdcks,
but. you hate to leave them when you
are Kauled out.at 7-a. m. And an
English boy’s idea of giving you a
good time is letting you wash the
dishes. And they try to sig while
doing it.”~
this dark picture admitted that she
had been in a rather grim state of
mind at the time, and that all was

‘not as black as she had painted it.

Of course some of the hostels are bad,
but most, as'far as we can gather,
are really fun.

SPANISH PLAY GIVEN
IN- CERVANTES’: ‘HONOR



As an informal celebration ‘of the
300th anniversary of Cervantes’ death
the Spanish department and students
will present’ a performiance of a *one-
act farce by Cervantes: in the Com-
mon Room at 7.30 Friday. It is called
La Cuerva de Salamanea, and is- what
is known‘in Spain as an entremes, or
entr’acte.

The’ story deals with a ruse by
which a young student saves ‘the repu-
tation’ of ‘the wife of old :Paneracio
when he suddenly enters in the midst
of a clandestine banquet. The old
man is made to. believe that the table
with the two guests. concealed under
it has entered the scene by means of
a supernatural power.

The cast of the play is as follows:
Leonarda; De Lancey Cowl, ’39; Chris-
tina, Phyllis Barrett, ’38; Sacristan,
Ruth Lilienthal, ’40; Barbara, Isabella
Gaud, 40; Estudiante, Juanita Eu-

Model Geneva Meets.
‘At Cornell University



Six Delegates From Bryn Mawr
‘ Present Denmark’s Case
At. Conference

_ SOLVE LEAGUE PROBLEMS

| aber —





(Especially contributed by the Bryn
- Mawr delegation to tlie Model League
’ of Nations Assembly.)
Despite our not looking like Danes
and our conveyances scarcély like
those of diplomats, the ‘delegation
from Bryn Mawr set forth for the
sModel League of Nations Assembly
at’Cornell, a temporary Geneva. The
Scandinavian cooperative spirit was
plainly present’from the start as those
who watched the gala departure of
the Danish delegation with the Haver-
fordian Swedes know, but of course
the real excitement did not start until
we reached Ithaca.
Our first important meeting with
fellow internationalists of delegations
from 38 of the League member coun-
tries from colleges of the, Middle At-
lantic Region was Thursday night.
Mr. James G. MacDonald, of the New
Yérk Times, who was critique of the
Model League, made an opening ad-
dress. Mr. MacDonald’s speech was
far more optimistic than that which
he gave at the Deanery last fall, and
was accgmpanied by an_ excellent
moyie of the Tamyueret Nations edited
by the March of: Time. After that a
concert was given by the Cornell Glee
Club.

During -the plenary session Friday
morning the President of the Council,
Alec Campbell, of Cornell, made his

report on the accomplishments of the]

League in 19386. Mary Clabaugh, of
Vassar, representing U. S. S. R., was
elected President of the Assembly.
The first item on the agenda was the
report.of the Committee on Creden-
tials, of .which Louise Morley was
chairman. This committee was able
to persuade Italy that Ethiopia must
be seated in the Assembly, although
the Italian:Government preferred to
recognize this delegation as one rep-
resenting Victor Emmanuel, Emperor
of Ethiopia, During the course’of the
debate on the report of the President
of the Council, the leader of the. Chi-
nese delegation, W. C: Koo, son .of
the Chinese Ambassador to France,
addressed the Assembly in his native
language.

The afternoon was devoted to ses-
sions, of the three commissions: Com-
mission One, peaceful change under





GPF









‘

Article 19; Commission: Two, the im-
provement of trade relations; Com-
mission Three, Sanctions and Collec-
tive Security.
‘| first commission meetings was scarcely
diplomatic ‘and rather unmindful of
|the rules of’ Assembly procedure.

: Denmark was represented in the first

commission by Bettie Tyson Hooker,
740, and Louise. Morley, ’40; in the
second by Mary Mayer, ’88, and Le-
nora Myers, ’37, and in the third by
Helen Hamilton, 39, and Joy Rosen-
heim, 740.-

After the parliamentary wrangles
of the afternoon it was very pleasant
to forget diplomatic intrigue for the
evening. -We attended a banquet at
which Mr. MacDonald again spoke and
at which Dr.: Hans Simons, of the
New York School for Social Research,
gave an excellent speech on The
League of Nations and the Future of
Europe. The banquet was followed by
a dance at. which all the delegates
were mindful only of a good orches-
tra and pleasant company.

We feel. that perhaps Cornellian
hospitality and an awakened student
consciousness of the necessity for in-
ternational cooperation lacking at
Geneva was what made the conference
a success.” At any rate, the reports
of the commissions on their plans for
strengthening League action in three
fields were accepted .at the final |
plenary session with little opposition
and a calm, intelligent attitude which
indicated ‘that narrow national points
of view caused the difficulties of the
real League. The important conclu-
sions of the conference consisted in
Commission. One of a desire to
strengthen Article 19 of the League
Covenant by an interpretative reso-
lution providing machinery for peace-
ful change of treaties and proposals
which would make more effective the
League’s work in population, immigra-
tion, colonization and minorities prob-
lems. In Commission Two specific
proposals were made~as: to how trade
relations among member states might
be improved by a permanent commis-
sion of experts and the furtherance

for new needs.” The schools do not
always help. Guidance. of the indi-
vidual and society is necessary. The
curricula of the schools must be re-
vised. ¥

Following Dr. Caliver’s excellent
address a memorial tablet was un-
veiled in Kelsey Hall, the new girls’
dormitory, to its donor, Clarence Hill
Kelsey. The. Hon. W. Cameron
Forbes, former Governor-general of
the Philippines and Minister to Japan,
spoke briefly of Mr. Kelsey’s services
to Hampton.

Friday evening’and Saturday morn-
ing the work of the Trade School was
on exhibition. Here the aim of Hamp-
‘ ton—to educate the hand, heart and
mind—was ably demonstrated. . Work
of the printing, carpentry, tailoring,
architectural and engineering depart-
ments was shown, along with exhibits
.. of every other conceivable manual art.
In every shop the visitors were wel-
comed by the students and shown the
prepared exhibits and made to feel
completely at home.

In ‘retrospect, the Trade School ex-
hibit epitomizes~what ~Hampton~ sig-
nifies for, the:Negro himself, and for
the #est of the world which will profit
by his training and contribution.

A dramatic, musical-and dance pro-
gram-on Saturday night presented an-
other side of the institute’s life. Here
again the students displayed their ex-
ceptionally high grade of work. The

one-act play was the acme Of amateur
perfection, the choir, like all Hampton
singing, was -excellent, and the Qfe-

ative Dance Group presented ‘some-
thing new and refreshing.

Throughout the anniversary activi-
ties student panels presented varying
aspects of the’ work. The Negro in
Science, Religion and the Negro, Op-
portunities for the Negro in Agricul-.
ture, Business and Trades were some
of the topics discussed. All were
handled in an able manner, with a
degree of poise, competence and ma-
turity not often found in the average
college student.

Addressed by Dr. Moton, one of the
first. graduates of Hampton and. the
present president of Tuskegee, chapel
Sunday evening was a fitting conclu-
sion to Hampton’s 69th birthday cele-
bration. All of the guests felt some-
thing had been gained by their four
days on the campus. An insight had
been obtained into one of the miracles
of this day: the development from
slavery to a first-class, progressive
college in the space of 69 years. How-
ever, the goal is far from reached.
Though the pace is fast, it is not fast
enough. White understanding and en-
lightenment are the accelerators need-
ed to advance more quickly toward the
goal. L. J. 8.

may be promoted by war, but not
peace, and_ the- distinction --between
these concepts i is passed over too often,
either by accident or intent. The per-
sonification of countries and the police

analogy are equally dangerous habits
of thought into ich the peoples of
the world have fallen), Considering
France as “La France” and England
as “England” rather than as groups
of individuals, tends to obscure the
facts, and this is a potential source of
conflict; whereas the applicatiqn of
police terminology to a situation which
is essentially dissimilar to that of law
breaking in an organized state is dan-|
gerous because of the inevitable con-
sequences of its inappropriateness.

All that a body such ‘as an interna-
tional police. force could do would be
to visit the Sins of the guilty on the
innocent.

Mr. Déak, speaking specifically on
what the United States can do for
peace, attributed the futility of peace
‘measures up to this timé to over-
simplification in the treatment of
causes. He believes that despite her
distance from the theater of war, the
United States has an enormous influ-
ence as well as a great deal at stake





ties.

Mr. Déak’s souinuibion:

The results follow:

ance of the peace.

Miss Letitia Brown.

Princeton Conference
Covers Literary Fields

Theatre Intime performance of Strind-
berg’s The Father followed, which
most of the delegates attended in

groups. .The next morning’ the con- |

ference sections met again at 10. 30
and a last general ‘session took place
early in the afternoon.

The speeches at the end of the con-
ference expressed confidence that the
contacts and exchanges of experience
resulting: had been profitable, They
recalled the’ first Intercollegiate Lit-

erary Conference at New Jersey Col-
lege for Women last spring, and indi-
cated that the special practical prob-
lems of the student writer which were
considered then would be the most sat-
isfactory basis for-discussion at fu-
ture conferences. The program of the
current meetings had been valuable,
but rather too general.

At two sessions of the journalistic
round table the Bryn Mawr delegates
discussed present-day problems of
newspaper reporting and editing, the
freedom of the press from ‘censorship
or prejudice and its responsibility to
its readers. Mr. Leland Stowe, of the
New York Herald-Tribune, conducted
both meetings. . He answered many
questions about his experience as a
foreign correspondent during the last
several years. Apropos of “coloring”’
of the news in accordance with an edi-
torial policy, Mr. Stowe said,that he

granted that he is prejudiced against
the liberals, his articles have been .
written from the liberal point of view, _
definitely opposed. to that of the paper
itself. Dorothy Thompson is another
employe of the Tribune who opposes
its policies.

Most of the students at this. diss

cussion felt that the United Stateg -
press should accept responsibility to
“mold” public opinion, but that this
should be done more subtly and effi-
ciently than it is now. Mr. Stowe felt
that most people pay little attention
to political news and less to editorials
and read the newspapers for its fea-
tures. They accept the opirions of é
columnists rather than editorial writ-
ers because of the personal touch, and
he thinks that the present trend is
definitely toward personality © in
journalism.. Another reason why peo-
ple read newspapers superficially is
that headlines often tell the whole
story. Mr. Stowe thinks the English
type of provocative heads maké the
paper more interesting. .

Mr. Riggs, the chairman of the con-
ference, and several of the guest
speakers made much of the fact that
the modern undergraduate with lit-
erary ambitions is being enequraged
by faculty members, editors and pub-
lishers. Some of the guests empha-
sized this-by—inviting the delegates to
contribute to their publications. A
meeting was held after the official end
of the Conference to consider found-
ing an intercollegiate association of
literary magazines to cooperate for

continually protect workers from pur-
poséful tyranny, chance injustices and
from their own ‘inadvertent errors.
Unions can often adjust small mis-
understandings: where the worker is
obviously in the wrong, but where the
employer will forgive and the workey
reform, if both understand their fun-
damental rights and duties.

Thé education of workers. in night
schools and summer schools, in Eng-
land and abroad, is often financed by
the unions. ~ Political parties may also
be supported, but only if the majority
voté to establish a political fund, and
even then no worker’s union dues may
be put into the fund without his writ-
ten consent.

Outside of active support of certain
parties, the unions give extremely
valuable practical education in choos-
ing representatives ana discussing
policies and. budgets in a parliament-
ary manner. Because the unions are
so highly organized, the purely ad-
ministrative work is very complicated,
their jurisdiction is wide and they
fiandle latge funds—and handle them
as honestly and efficiently as any busi-
hess, party or government.

In these quiet functions the unions
area fully atcepted part of the gov-
ernmental and social systems, and they

TO SPEAK
ON COMMUNION RITUAL |”

(Especially contributed
Cluett, ’37.)

Reverend C. Leslie Glenn, rector of
Christ Church, Cambridge, Mass., will
conduct: chapel forthe third time here
this Sunday, May 2. He will speak
about the. Communion service. This
is the last in his series of talks on
Church ritual. The first two were
about the Burial and Marriage
services. i

This Sunday’s. sermon promises to
be particularly interesting because
Mr. Glenn has asked if he might illus-
trate his talk using the actual Com-
munion vessels, which he plans to
bring with him.

Mr. Glenn has emphasized the fact
that these. services, while different in
all denominations, are essentially the
same, and hopes that members of all
churches will be interested.

to this unobtrusiveness. It is also due
to the growing preponderance of new
night industries, whose employes are
women and young people. These
groups have many outside interests,
do not expect to be. factory workers
permanently and have not a deep
“union tradition.”

Katisha (Helen Shepard, ’38), who
made more than the most of her su-
perior contralto voice, and the Three
Little Maids (individually: Yum-Yum,
Helen Lee, ’40; Pitti-Sing, Jeanne
Macomber, ’37; and Peep-Bo, Doris
Russell, ’38), Helen:Lee gave the hap-
piest possible interpretation of Yum-
Yum. Small. shivers of excitement
were running up and down our spine
when she sang The Moon and I, re-
alizing as we did that not even a
Geisha girl could have been ‘more
graceful, nor a D’Oyly Carter have
sung it better. There are certain
notes by which a. good singer can
thrill the simple-hearted listener, and
both Helen Lee and Helen Shepard
found them more than once. More-
over the middle-aged frights which
dot Gilbert and. Sullivan: are; next to
the heroes, hardest to play, and it is
quite an achievement on the part of
Katisha to have made us simultane-
ously sympathetic and admiring.
Pish-Tush (Ruth Stoddard, ’39),
seemed to transcend vocal difficulties;
she produced an astonishing volume of
sound. And apart from her singing,

Aillfully combining aloofness, a thor-

timed wavings of her fan.

The soubrette, Pitti-Sing is one of
the most human of all The Mikado’s
characters;—Jeanne Macomber made
it traditionally charming, especially
in her execution song. And the third
Little Maid, Doris Russell, was all too
seldom heard:

And now double rapture for Ko-Ko,
for his sense of humor, his loose-
footed dancing, for his exact measur-
ing up to the D’Oyly Carte yardstick,
with something of his actor’s person-
ality. thrown in; and for tiny Donald
Farrow, who almost stole the show.
And unmodified rapture for’ Pooh-
Bah’s, “How-de-do, littlé girls, how-
de-do,” for his fat dignity. and un-
graceful . positions; rapture for the
Mikado’s ferocity, his ghoulish laugh,
the sweep ‘of his trousered legs, and
his facial contortions; rapture for
Katisha’s rage in the midst of an
inimical’ throng, and for her love
scene with Ko-Ko.
