~ Bryn Mawr Varsity: Cveabomnes Moravian;
Second Teain Wins Traditional Victory!
Guieabion, March 6.—The Bryn
. Mawr varsity bagle@all team, re-
splendent in new yellow flannel tunics,
beat Moravian, 27-24, in a fast and
“exciting game. The second team won
its match, 23-13.
P
Varsity played very well and at
times showed flashes of brilliant team-
work. The guards were better. than
in any game thus far and used the
zone guarding system perfectly. The
forward shooting was good and they
also played well together. In the last
half the pace grew faster and: specta-
tors of both sidés rose. to cheer their
teams. In spite of liberal advice and
directions shouted to them from the
bitlcony, Moravian could not rally
endugh to overcome Bryn Mawr’s lead.
The second-team game started off
for Bryn Mawr. Few of their
shots wént in, and at the half the
‘score stood 12-7 in favor.of Moravian.
The Bryn Mawr team was completely
reorganized, and in the second half
their passes began to click.
Meigs started the rally with a spec-
tacular overliead shot which landed
neatly in the basket. In the. second
half Bryn Mawr tallied 16 points,
White Moravian could manage only 1.
Pembroke West Strikes,
In Noise Ban Protest
Placard Voices ‘General Opinion
“East is a Morgue”
7
(Contributed in News tryouts)
Pembroke Arch, March 5.—Passers-
through were surprised at-noon today
by a procession of picketers. The
spirited Westernérs were demonstrat-
ing their disapproval of the solemn
Eastern edict of silence which had
resulted in the fining of a citizen of
‘West, Miss Laura Musser, ’37., Miss
Musser had been assessed for noise
to the sum of three dollar d sev-
enty-five cents ($3.75). \
Picturesque and artistic posters pro-
claimed : “East is a Morgue (with a
few exceptions)”; East is East and
West is West, Thank God!”; “Noises
of the World Unite’; ‘Millions for De-
fense—not One Cent for Fines”; and
other sentiments of sympathy for the
victim of Eastern legislation. A plan
was proposed whereby these posters
should be sold at auction, the proceeds
to be used in payment of the fine in-
curred by the noisy native of West.
Miss Lolly Musser, the martyr to
the ‘unspeakable cause of silence, is
said to be contemplating an operation
on her vocal cords. Should this prove
unsuccessful, her course will be that
of resignation to a bitter fate, and
a possible job as conductor on the
Paoli Local or a Barnum and Bailey
side-show barker. In such a case she
expects a recommendation and a vote
- of thanks from the strong aim of the
law in East, which will be, if given,
the second great tribute to her vocal
prowess. Her first triumph came in
her prep-school days when she was
chosen “second noisiest girl,” although
she would have taken the blue rib-
bon if she hadn’t been in the infirm-
ary during the. elections.
The Eastern plaintiffs, not to be
outdone by the.defendant and her de-
‘termined supporters, set up a “relief
kitchen” .under the Arch and served
crackers and water to the picketers.
When the strikers finally retired (for
lunch), inter-hall relations were “still
amicablé,_ and a satisfactory agree-|
ment between offender and offended
seemed probable.

dance had been to prove that the most
acute of angles: and the most sedate

eome by much heaving and generous
lending of furniture, the hall would
be enthusiastic about the result of
their second. successful dinner-dance
of the season. In fact, there is now
agitation for a “will your furniture
to the hall” drive.
Actually twenty-five couples, fifteen
recorded and several last- ute stag-
ettes, enjoyed the ~Walter ' Howson

many left reluctantly to continue the
evening elsewhere.
Miss Germaine Brée, Mr. Charles

|Near East. Natives,

Dr. Wright Drvetiiber: Campuses,
Traces History of Colleges
In Asia Minor
COLORED MOVIES SHOWN
In his talk on “Campuses in the
Near East,” Dr. Walter Livingston
Wright, Jr., President of the Associ-
ated Colleges, stressed the remark-
able cooperation existing between
these colleges and the people of. the
countries in which they are situated,
and between the faculty and students
of each college. This is evidenced by
the fact that the sons a
of many high officials4re sent: to the
colleges, where, although English is
used in teaching, better instruction j
the native languages is given thajath
the native schools. There are Ameri-
can Colleges in. Constantinople, in
Beiruit, in Sofia, and in Athens. They
|were originally founded under the
American: Mission.
auspices of the '
Board, but have always been inde-
pendent ef control by the missions.
Dr. Wright illustrated his talk with.
very beautiful colored .moving pic-
tures, which made one feel quite a
part of each campus, and furnished
visual records of the cooperation be-
tween the different races, which is
further exemplified by the fact that
only one-quarter of the total number
of faculty of the associated econ
are Americans.
Robeft College in Constantinople is
the oldest, for it was founded ‘in 1863,
by Cyrus Hamlin, who had finaneial
backing from Christopher Rhinelander
Robert, for whom the college — is
named. Cyrus Hamlih’s career was
most picturesque; he was a native of
Maine, worked his way through col-
lege by assisting a goldsmith, and
went to Turkey as a missionary. His
method of teaching was unique. The
entire student body which varied from
25 to 75, was taught as a unit until
Easter time, when Dr. Hamlin picked
a small group whom he considered
worthy of being “seniors.” These
students he tutored and examined
himself orally. If they met his re-
quirements, they were given degrees.
Dr. Hamlin’s successor, Dr. Wash-

a more regular form of teaching
by classes. Robert College now
includes the American College for

of its students come from the interior
of Turkey where the most complicated
form of mechanics is the ox-cart!
The American College at Sofia was.
founded after the war and its de-
velopment is .primarily due to its
president, Dr. Floyd H. Black. It is

Bulgars regard it as one of their own
institutions. The students do much.
of the manual work themselves, for
the cost of living in Bulgaria is high
enough to make it difficult for them
to come to the college at alf.
The College at Athens is the young-
est of them all and ‘is the result of
far-sighted cooperation of Greeks and
Americans. It consist$ so far of only:
one building, where 90 boarders can,
be housed, Benaki Hall nanied after
two great Greek philanthropists. The
boarding pupils represent only one-
quarter of thexstudent body, and it is
hoped that there will soon be room,
for others, since the day pupils find
it very easy to forget the English
they. have learned during the short
school hours: once they“have returned
to their Greek homes. Each college:
in the Near East is supplemented by
a high school where English is taught
to prepare for the advanced instryc-'
tion in the college proper. The stu-
dents in Athens are very proud of,
their heritage from ancient Greece,
and have’ their outings on Mount.

lated to external objects may become
trivial. by completely—distortihg the
nature of the individual itself.
Art_gives ‘us the ‘inward nature of
objects, and modern art gives us the
nature of man 4s reflected in the
objects about him. There are, how-
ever, two limitations in art. The ar-
tist_ expends all his: moral energy on
his art and therefore becomés indif-
ferent to other fields of social activ-
ity. This is one limitation, the other
being that art discovers the knowl-
edge of specific entities, discrete tilitts
out of context. ;
The scientist has a wider range of
activity. He prides himself on his
objectivity, and this freedom allows
him to be useful in a wider society,
Even in science, however, there is a
limitation, because the scientist de-
velops only probable hypotheses: by
which it ‘purposes to understand the
universe from’ the base of one fact
or object contained within it.
This gives a kind of spread in
knowledge, continuity: over the uni-
verse, generality, as contrasted with
the discrete, intensive knowledge dis-
covered through art. ies
In order that man may be able to
have knowledge of all that can pos-
sibly exist, art and science must be
supplemented by philosophical specu-
lation. Philosophy: is free from ac-
tion, but its knowledge can become
trivial. Its* advantage is that it en-
ables one to possess the entire uni-
verse vicariously through the medium
of knowledge and enables one to act
morally under a constant and coher-
ent set of comprehensive principles.
Thus, ‘to approach ideal perfection
it is necessary to have a knowledge
of all reality as reflecting the very
being of him who knows it. ,To at-
tain this end it is therefore necessary
to pursue art, science and philosophy:
