USF Allocation
Made Explicit
By Legislature
Organization Providing
Negro Grants
Supported
A meeting of the Legislature
was held on Monday, November
13, at 8:30 in the Common Room,
to discuss the allocations of the
contributions received from the
United Service Fund. Sherrill Cow-
gill opened the meeting by com-
paring the allotments of this year
with those of 1949. The figures
are as follows:
1950
25 %o
1949
Service
24%
World Student
Fund
CARE for Books 14%
CARE for Children 9.5%
National Scholarship Ser-
vice and Fund for Negro
10%
15%
15%
Students; United Negro
College Fund 10%
20% United Fund of Philadel-
phia; Red Cross; Com-
munity ‘Chest 18.7%
15% Reserve 10.1%
Sherry pointed out that this year
the percentages consist of even
numbers, because the precedent of
‘alloting $800 to the Community
Chest has (been abolished; now
they receive whatever is allocated
to them according to the percent-
ages. .
The ‘World Student Service
Fund, supported by NSA, is all
student-supported. It contributes
to students all over the world by
supplying them with medical serv-
ice, books, and similar advantages.
Sherry also explained that because
of the many letters of appreciatior
received from CARE for Children,
the amount of our contributions to
them has been increased this year.
The (National Scholarship Serv-
ice and Fund for Negro Students
is a new organization, which works
through non-segregated schools,
informs them of promising Negro
students, and breaks down the bar-
riers of segregation in them. This
onganization is solely student-
supported, and our contributions
would provide money for field
work and scholarships. The Unit-
ed Negro College Fund, on the
other hand, is supported by com-
munities all over the country. It
works only for all-Negro colleges,
thereby seeming to foster the
principle of segregation.
It was felt, however, that Bryn
Mawr should not entirely desert
the United Negro College Fund;
therefore, the motion was carried
to set aside a certain extra amount
for allocation to this organization.
A motion to give both organiza-
_tions equal amounts was defeated.
-A motion was then made ‘to let the
' 15% for Negro Scholarships stand,
.and it was carried.
| There was much discussion con-
‘cerning the following motion: that
Since all the other contributions

Compositional Variations in Crys-
talline Solids.” Associate profes-
sor of minerology at Harvard, and
a graduate of M.I.T., Dr. Frondel
took his Ph.D. here at Bryn Mawr,
and has been active in the study
of quartz crystals. The lecture was
divided into three parts with sub-
divisions to explain the types of
compositional variation in crystals.
The first of these was “Substitu-
tional Solid Solutions,” which cov-
ered simple and coupled substitu-
tion (simultaneous substitution of
two kinds of atoms for another
single kind of atom). The second
main category was “Interstitial
Solid Solutions.” In interstitial
simple substitutions, neutral atoms

The “Guest” Arrives
Haverford, Bryn Mawr Renaissance
by Betty-Jeanne Yorshis, ’52
If you happened to be in the
vicinity of Roberts Hall, Haver-
ford, Saturday afternoon, Novem-
ber 11th, at two-thirty, you would
have stumbled upon a concert that
probably would have been unique in
your experiences as a concert-goer.
The afternoon’s performance con-
sisted of a program of Renaissance
music sung by the Bryn Mawr and
Haverford choruses and assisted by
the Bryn Mawr and Haverford or-
chestra. The concert was preceded
by a talk on the motet—the form of
music featured on the program—
by Professor Pfatteicher, in which
he said that a motet was a form
which would boré only the “coarse
clod,”’ and which, furthermore,
would charm the true music lover

Concert Considered Unique Program
from eating his dinner. After
sharpening the audience’s curiosity
in such a piquant manner, the pro-
fessor ended his speech and the
concert began.
The first selection given by Hav-
erford, a motet by Jacob Handl,
a composer of the sixteenth cen-
tury, although not living up to the
tribute paid to such a composition,
nevertheless was pleasant. Under
the direction of William Reese of
Haverford, the chorus gave full
attention to the possibilities of the
work. The tone was sustained and
duleet throughout, while the sim.
ple melodies were treated evenly,
giving the selection body and dig-
nity. There was nothing exciting
about the piece, but it created an
atmosphere that wafted one gent-
ly back to the Renaissance period.
The excerpts from the William
Byrd Mass which followed, sung
by the Bryn Mawr Chorus, offered
a direct contrast to the opening
number. This work, although sol-
emn in parts, has many brignt
moments, and the chorus which
seemed to be enjoying itself as it
sang, gave it a brilliant perform-
ance. The Benedictus was espe-
cially lively, sung with zest and
animation by the chorus. The Ag-
nus Dei was properly hushed and
still, and the interpretation given
it complimented Mr. Goodale’s
sensitive direction.
The Ricercar for Strings which
followed was played by represen-
tatives of the two-college orches-

Acting Highlight
‘Guest in House’
Pearre, Haring, Allen
Make Mystery
Effective
by Joan McBride, °52
With the production of Hagar
Wilde’s and Dale Eunson’s Guest
in the House, the Bryn Mawr Col-
lege Theatre undertook its first
prcefessionally - directed play in
over a year. Under the guidance
of Miss Katharine .Minehart, the
production showed technical refine-
ment and great skill in the inter-
pretations of some of the feminine
roles.
As the benighted Evelyn, Nancy
Pearre ‘was outstanding. Every
time that she emerged from her
upstairs room, she carried with
her the atmosphere of pervading
evil, so much so, that by the end
of the play the audience could feel
her presence even before she en-
tered the scene. Nancy’s episodes
with the unfortunate Proctor fam-
ily were excellent in the suppress-
ed passion and sheer deviltry
which she imparted.
As Ann and Douglas Proctor,
Molly Allen and Lee Haring gave
polished and convincing portray-
als. Molly’s interpretation of a
well-adjusted young matron, grad-
ually growing more and more dis-
traught under the influence of her
guest’s presence in the household,
skillfully conveyed the changes in
her moods. Lee gave what was
perhaps the best petformance he
has presented on the Bryn Mawr
stage. As the sympathetic but
subconsciously unnerved husband,
his every gesture and vocal ex-
pression carried conviction. Lee
Haring’s representation of a ma-
ture and yet naive character was 3
pleasure to witness.
Sally Shoemaker’s dry humor
and stage dignity made the per-
sonality of Aunt Martha vivid and
appealing. Innate wit coupled with
warmth created an outstanding
performance. The audience could
place complete confidence in Aunt

Throughout the year, however,

Self-Government Amendments
There will be a mass meeting of the Self-Government
Association on Tuesday, November 28, at 8:30 p. m. in Good-
hart, to vote upon two motions proposed by the Executive
Board.
The first concerns the election of Freshman representa-
tives to the Executive Board. In the past, as prescribed by
the constitution, the freshman class has elected three rotat-
ing members during the period from November to March.
Because the class represents over one-quarter of the college,
the suggestion has been made that two be elected at six-
week intervals instead of the usual one. This would increase
the representation of freshmen in active self-government,
and would help to combat the usual concentration of power
among a few members of the class.
The second motion concerns the election of Hall Presi-
dents. Previously, this office has been elected just before
spring vacation, after all the other -college elections. Because
of the great importance and respect involved in this position,
it has been suggested that it be decided immediately after the
elections of the presidents of Self-Gov, Undergrad, League,
Alliance, and A. A., and preceding that of vice-presidencies to
the various boards.
Both of these motions would be amendments to the Self-
Government constitution. Since such* amendments can be
passed only by two-thirds of the Association sitting as a
‘Legislature, that is, the entire student body, it is imperative
for everyone to attend.
Decoration Inspiration
One of the most important features of any dance is the
decorations. More than any one thing they establish the
mood and atmosphere of the evening. The gymnasium, with
its high ceiling and “wide open spaces’’, is a difficult room to
make warm or gay. However, last year’s Freshman Show
dance, with the wide red border of hearts, and the Junior
Prom, with its “Enchanted Forest” motif showed that large,
colorful and important-looking decorations can be very ef-
fective.
Saturday’s Undergrad dance, with its heterogeneous
themes of stuffed animals, drab autumn leaves, and red-
‘white-and-blue Armistice Day streamers created no specific
impression, mood, nor gaiety. Two vases of huge yellow
chrysanthemums would have picked up the fall mood at once,
Current Events
On Monday evening, November
13th, Miss Hertha Kraus of the
Social Economy Department, dis-
cussed the controversial problem
of rearming Germany as an ally
of the western powers.
Mrs.” Kraus believes Germany
will eventually have to be rearmed,
but a great deal of the policy of
the occupational forces in Germany
will have to be changed. It is her
opinion that the average German
is hardly ready at the present time
to enter full participation in west-
ern affairs.
There are some Germans who
are ready to have Germany become
a part of a western opposition to
the plans of Soviet Russia. They
are proud to think of their produc-
tive power and resources as a gift
to western democracy in case of a
necessary defense against the Rus-
sian sphere.
“The majority of Germans, how-
ever, have lost their nationalistic
spirit, and their active interest in
any world affairs. They think the
present situation is a great trag-
edy, and knowing so well the dev-
astation, grief and horror of the
last war, they want to be com-
pletely apart from the next. The
Germans have withdrawn into their
individual family problems of food,
clothing and shelter, which are so
pressing, and have lost the feeling
for the community in general com-
pletely.
The average German has only
a vague notion of the meaning of
the word “democracy.” To him
“democracy” is a multitude of time-
saving gadgets, and an easier, hap-
pier life in a distant world. It
seems like a beautiful but unreal
fairy tale. We give him no ideals
or principles to look for behind
this superficial surface.
Mostly the Germans have a lack
of faith. They are afraid that in
any conflict between Russia and
the western powers, Germany will
be used as a battle field while the
West withdraws to comparative
security behind the Rhine. They
fear that they will become identi-
fied with the West and left to
Russian vengeance.
It is therefore necessary to
change many elements in Germany
before we should feel ready to re-
arm her. It is a difficult problem

Sloane Protests Mildly
Against Account
Of Speech
The Editor November 9, 1950
The College News
Bryn Mawr College
Dear Miss McBride,
I would like to register a mild
protest over the account of my re-
marks to the Alumnae on the sub-
ject of modern art. This is, as you
may know, a touchy theme at the
best, and it is quite important that
I be answerable only for what I
actually did say.
To begin with, I did not say that
“what we think of’ contemporary
art shows what we think of our
own times” but that “our attitude
toward modern art may well be
colored by what we think of our
own times’—which is quite differ-
ent; and the phrase “in the ortho-
doxy of opinion on modern art”
makes no sense at all as it ap-
pears in the article. What I said
was that my remarks would not
be entirely orthodox, but that such
an orthodoxy did exist. I did not
mean to imply, as the article does
that social conditions are the sole
determinants of art forms, but
only that they are some of them.
“Modern art stems fiom a revolt
against the past, and has_ been
termed ‘the revolt against revolt’ ”,
The first part of this sentence is
correct, the latter part entirely
wrong. The “Revolt against Re-
volt” was a reference to a book
(about politics actually) which il-
lustrates the fact that in certain
quarters people are getting tired
of a state of penpetual revolution.
To call modern art a revolt against
revolt, is to get the matter exactly
opposite.
The mention of the eclecticism
in architecture in the late 19th and
20th centuries,—but to straighten
this passage out ;would take too
long. I did say that Wright was
probably the greatest living arch-
itect, so much is correct.
“Distrust of modern art has con-
tinued long after the battle of its
survival was won, and the modern
movement must be viewed in the

liberal world, and the New York
Times has termed him “one of the}:
world’s outstanding theologians.”
In 1939 Dr. Niebuhr became the
fifth American invited to deliver
the Gifford lectures at the Uni-
versity of Edinburgh, and set a
record of attendance unprecedented
at this series. Formerly an Evan-
gelical pastor, he has been called
“conversationally explosive,’ and
described as “restoring to Pro-
testantism a Christian virility.”
He has been commended for keep-
ing fellow liberals “on the path of
the possible,” and through intelli-
gence and spiritual inspiration has
succeeded in injecting new life in-
to religious orthodoxy.
Dr. Niebuhr was chairman of
the five-man committee of laymen
sent to the UNESCO conference in
Paris in 1949; he gave one of the
keynote addresses at the confer-
ence, which was concerned with
the educational, scientific, and cul-
tural problems’ and programs of
the world.
Politzer to Read
“Ancient Mariner”
A program of interest to English
and German majors, and of gen-
eral cultural value is being pre-
sented Monday night, November
20, in the Art Lecture Room. Mr.
Chew of the English Department
will introduce the participants.
The first reading will be of The
Rime of the Ancient Mariner by
Coleridge, given in English by Mr.
Lattimore of the Greek and Eng-
lish Departments. Mr. Heinz Polit-
zer will then read his German
translation of the poem. Since his
arrival in the German Department
two years ago, Mr. Politzer has
presented several excellent pro-
grams of his translations. Mr.
Fritz Janschka, visiting artist from
Vienna, has done some paintings
of the Ancient Mariner which he
will show after the reading.

vitation to everyone interested.
as would almost any accent of that nature, and given a meas-
ure of warmth to the room.
Looking back over past dances, it is at once clear that
nothing dark, subtle, small or vague is successful. A single
definitive theme, immediately apparent, and carried out
through the use of a central color and large, eye-catching
decorations, is the only way to create the desired. effect. They
are the qualities that will give a dance a real character and
atmosphere.

Bryn.Mawr, Pa.
Dear Editor:
Recently at dinner tables and
other such informal gatherings as
I have talked about the United
Service Fund Drive, I have real-
to be a
somewhat apathetic attitude toward
this drive.
ized that there seems
People say that the money col-
lected will go to the same big or-
ganizations which their parents
support in their home communities
—and why should they give more
of their parents’ money to the
same big charities? Quite logical,
that is, but you see all the money
in this drive doesn’t go to those
nationally supported groups like
the Red Cross.
About 80% of the USF money
will be given to student welfare
organizations—to help negro stu-
dents get into good colleges, to
help children in Europe, to ‘buy
books for European universities,
and to assist students in Europe
through World Students Service
Fund. This is the sort of group
that needs student backing—the
sort of charity which doesn’t get
sufficient support from people who
aren’t students.
As for the 20% given to be used
by the Philadelphia ‘branches of
large organizations: as a college
we really, whether we care or not,
are part of a community. We
spend about two-thirds of our
year here; we do leave our gray
walls behind us occasionally. and
venture into “the community.” So
in a sense we belong to this area
and should give a little support to
its charitable organizations. Some
of this comes back to us in the
form of things like Red Cross Life
Saving courses.
All our drives together do sound
like a huge gash in our never-suf-
ficient budgets, but actually we
are not in so bad a state as twe
may think. A good many colleges
require a set amount each year
from each student instead of hav-
ing drives in which students are
free to decide how much they want
to give, I know one big eastern
women’s college which sets that
required amount at $25, and our
drives, USF, League Activities,
and (Common Treasury Dues, add
up to less than that if one gives
the maximum requested to each.
These drives are confusing and
do seem like frightful sums to
give, but when you think about
them a bit and begin to understand
where your money is going and
why, they take on more purpose
and appear less wounding to the
checking account—or so it seems
to me. .
Sincerely,
Caroline Smith

Gratitude for Packages

tions the seven students of eight
nationalities whom we have aid-
ed in obtaining rest cures at Com-
bloux; and it proffers to Made-
moiselle Nelidow “gratitude en-
tiere” and “sentiments le meil-
leurs.”
Last year we sent $598.00 of
our Service Fund Contributions to
QAIRE for the purchase of books.
We were thereupon informed that
our money would ibe used to stock
university libraries in Asia—our
proof of a donation -well-spent.
By far our greatest return
comes from CARE packages sent
to the children of Europe. In
acknowledging our pledge to the
needy in Austria, a CARE spokes-
man said, “The children who re-
ceive your gift will be urged to
thank you.” He was certainly
successful! [ have before me ap-
proximately thirty letters from
the children and their parents,
representing returns on only
$406.00 of our money.
“To the Esteemed Miss M. G.
Wallace, Treas.,” one begins — the
esteemed Miss Wallace having
signed last year’s Common Treas-
ury checks. The writers ask Bryn
Mawr Students to be symipathetic
listeners to wartime grievances—
households who have surrendered
all belongings to plundering ene-
mies; families where ‘the whole
male contingent was lost at war;
women who must work as field
laborers to support their children.
Sometimes these stories are told
to play on our sympathies. (More
often they seem to come from a
human need to share a sorrow
which we have indicated a desire
to understand.
At Christmas, a gift deserves
a gift. One fourteen-year-old boy
sent us a small portfolio of me-
ticulous little (watercolors, even
including a genuine Western
bronco buster. Many letters con-
tain pictures of the children and
their parents. We tore open one
envelope, and out tumbled a tiny
brooch encircling ‘tinted photo-
graphs of two small children.
... And always at the end there
is written a sincere expression of
gratitude combined with good will
— “Let me thank you once more
with all my heart and take, please,
my best wishes for your future
life and my heartiest greeting.”
.. “Thank you, thank you, thank
you, Dear M. 'G. Wallace... .”
So, through the mediating force
of the Common Treasurer, your
solicitors and numerous outside
agencies, Bryn Mawr’s four or
five thousand dollars spreads it-
self from Philadelphia to any place
in the globe. We’re almost sure to
know when it gets there.

Do you know who invented the

streets of Bryn Mawr? Dr. Nahm
does. As a matter of fact, he spent
an entire summer as a reporter for
a New Mexico newspaper run by
the same person, Magee, helping
to crack a notoriously corrupt (po-
litical machine. Dr. Milton C.
Nahm, Professor of Philosophy at
Bryn Mawr, has other pastimes
too. He is married; like to fish, as
is evidenced by the picture of him
with some of his less ferocious
prey; he is both the Secretary and
the Treasurer of the Eastern Divi-

Stuffed Mascots
Adorn U.G Dance
Last Saturday, from eleven ’til
two, an encouraging number of
Bryn Mawr girls and their dates
enjoyed the first Undergrad Dance
of the season. The “ballroom” was
cheerfully decked out in “Gymnas-
ium Pastoral’, with small stuffed
animals strung over the heads of
the dancers and cornshocks rust-
ling unobtrusively in the corners.
Thanks go to the kind people who
lent their treasured mascots, and
to the decorators, many of whom
were dragged to the aid of the
party on Saturday afternoon: June
Wasser, Minnie Cassatt, Elsie
Kemp, Di Goss, Mary McGrath,
Ellie Lyman, Louise Kimball, and
Carol Sonne. Catherine Chereme-
teff was head of the dance com-
mittee.
Music for the dance was ade-
quately supplied by Bob Freder-
ick’s Orchestra. During the inter-
mission, Al Burgess sang sooth-
ingly and well, accompanying him-
self on his guitar. In addition to
a group of folk songs, Mr. Burgess
sang his most enjoyable version of
St. Louis Blues, which he rendered
during an intermission of the
Junior Show earlier this year, and
which was well worth repeating.
Happily, there was lots of punch
of a pleasant grapefruit variety.
Everything went off smoothly, and
the proverbial good time was had
by all.
Pots, Pans, and Ph.D. Combine Easily
In B.M. Graduate’s
by Winifred Sexton, ’51
No one needs to show Mrs.
Esther Pese, new member of the
French department, around Bryn
Mawr College. She got her B.A.,
M.A., and Ph.D. here. Although
Latin poetry and Shakespeare are
her specialties at Lake Forest Col-
lege in Illinois, where she is regu-
larly a professor, the love she de-
veloped for French poetry at Bryn
Mawr is such that she was quali-
fied to take over the classes of
Miss Margaret Gilman, her former
teacher, who is at Harvard Univer-
sity this year as a guest professor.
Because of Miss Agnes Lake’s
(the present Mrs. Walter C. Mich-
els) ability to find drama in a
Latin participle, and because of
Miss Gilman’s way of arranging
a direct encounter between the stu-
dent and the poet, Mrs. Pese be-

came during her freshman year at
Bryn Mawr obsessed with the
desire to teach, as some girls are
obsessed with a desire to go on
the stage.
Pots, pans, and a Ph.D. have
turned out to be an ideal combina-
tion. College teaching allows Mrs
Pese free time to spend with her
six-year-old daughter and to cook,
and it frees her from the twenty-
four-hours-a-day work of a young
matron who can not afford domes-
tic help.
She says about college girls that
they should “cultivate their brains
for all they are worth.” If college
is “the preparation for the enjoy-
ment of life” that it shouldbe, they
will never be “sunk” in housework
even if they have to do it all them-
selves. She regrets the current re-

the gaily decorated, hand-detailed
carts in which they rode. He also
remembered the horn of his car,

nonchaiant citizens walked daily.
The Nahms landed in Palermo.
In Pistola, they stayed at the
farm of a woman who had rel-
atives in Bryn Mawr; then they
visited Rome and Florence. It was
in Florence that Dr. Nahm used
the philosophical libraries of the
National Library and the British
Institute for research for the book
he is now writing The Artist as
Creator. He was also afforded
use of tthe Oxford and British Mu-
seum libraries in England; and
then finished his trip by sailing for
the United States from Cannes. Of
all the sights, perhaps those in
Syracuse of the ancient ruins im-
pressed him the mist.

On Wednesday, November 8th,
the Bryn.Mawr varsity and second
hockey teams played the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania Women’s first
and second teams. The first goal
for B. M: C. was made by Nancy
Blackwood, high-scoring inner.
Penn’s first goal was dribbled into
the goal after effective passing
from the center bully. The score
at the end of the half was tied at
1 to 1. The second half was long-
er than the usual 25, because time
was taken at the end of the first
half for a Penn injury, and was
counted as half time by consent of
both teams. The only score in this
half was made by Nancy Black-
wood with 16 minutes left in the
game. The Bryn Mawr team play-
ed well against stiff opposition.
Special notice should be given to
Phoebe Albert, center half, whose
stickwork and strategy both on
the offense and defense, was an
important factor in the final score
of 2 to 1.
The second team kept Penn
scoreless to win, 3 to 0. Betsy
Parker, a dependable scorer, shot
in Bryn Mawr’s first goal.
The second and third points were
made by: Anne Eristoff and Liz
Simpson respectively. Anne play-
ed on the varsity last week against
Beaver, and this week’s goal was
the first she has made for Bryn
Mawr. The second half of the
game was scoreless.

pieces assembled from museums
'jand private collections all over the
|| United States.
The exhibition in-
cludes a hundred paintings and a
hundred drawings, covering the en-
tire history of western art. The
Diamond Jubilee Exhibition, which
opened November 4, will continue
for three months and will close
February 11. In connection with
the exhibition, members of the
museum staff present color-slide
talks in the afternoon.
The aim of the exhibition is “to
illustrate the vast spectacle of
man’s search for beauty.” In order
to do this, the paintings have been
arranged chronologically, and geo-
graphical] segregation has not been
observed. Some countries have a
great representation in certain per-
iods, however, since different coun-
tries have been the leaders in art
throughout the last six hundred
years. The earliest painting in the
exhibition is Lorenzetti’s ‘Virgin
and the Child Enthroned.’’ The
painting has a solid gold back-
ground so that the observer will
focus his attention on the central
figures. The solid background, the
large figures, and the curving,
graceful lines give the picture an
air of serenity.
France held the leadership in art
during the fourteenth century.
Then Italy led, represented by An-
gelico’s “Crucifixion” — depicting
quiet sorrow. At the same time
there were northern masters who
were equally as great; Van Eyke
is an example. Then Renaissance
Italy emerged with Leonardo,
Michelangelo, Raphael, and Titian,
who are not represented in the eo!-
lection.
Spain, Holland, and Flanders
then shared the leadership, One of
the outstanding pictures of this
period is E] Greco’s “View of To-
ledo,’’. noted for_its swirling—lines
and light, giving the effect of si-
lent turbulence. In Holland Rem-
brandt was outstanding. His paint-
ings in the exhibition are “Young
Girl at an Open Half-door,” “The
Noble Slave,” and “St. Peter’s De-
nying Christ.” Light and shadow
emphasis, richness, and differences
in shapes make the contrasts which
distinguish Rembrandt’s paintings.
Holland is represented by Ver-
meer at this time; “Lady with a
Lute” is his contribution. The
painting is an impressive one in
which perfect balance is achieved
by contrast and composition.

played a mixed group of graduate
students and physical education
teachers on Thursday, November 9.
The third team vs. Temple game
was very fast and very exciting,
Temple winning 1-0. From the
very start the play was quite rap-
id, the ball constantly changing
from one side of the field to the
other. Temple’s only goal was
made quite early in the game by
their right inner, and from that
moment on, Bryn Mawr was most-
ly on the offensive to score. Cen-
ter forward San Tilghman’s efforts
were especially spirited, but un-
fortunately no goal resulted.
By the second half, due to the
late arrival of the Temple team, it
was so dark that the ball was
barely visible. The Bryn Mawr de-
fense successfully held Temple
from scoring so that most of the
play was near the Temple twenty-

tra. This piece, known as the pre-
cursor of the fugue because of the
similarity in form, consisted of an
interplay of pleasing melodies and
served as a suitable contrast to
the rest of the program.Although
the performers were not at all
times adequate, the piece did not
come off too badly.
The next part of the program
consisted of a number of German
folksongs belonging to the Renais-
sance period. After hearing them
all not only sung, but each sung
or played three times in all, with
varied interpretations and settings,
one can only conclude that they
had better remain dead. None of
the melodies were outstanding, and
none had the charm or vivacity
that is usually associated with folk
music. The chorus and orchestra
did as well as they could by them;
the few solos were done with feel-
ing, but the only effect of these

they were unsurpassably executed,
and came as a welcome relief to
what had gone before. Directed by

was more graceful and charming
than the one that went before.
The final one, a counterpoint, in
which each voice depicts a certain
animal, was delightful beyond
measure, and the four pieces
formed the best part of the pro-
gram.
The last selection, done by the
Bryn Mawr chorus, was a motet
by Handl as was the first number
of the afternoon. Admirably per-
formed, it proved once more the
chorus’ talent in singing brilliantly
and ended the concert with a flour-

Judy Blair, as the model, Mir-

consistent performances in the

an ofttimes oppressive play. Jona-

he was every moment a butler,

it may seem. As Hilda, the maid,
Janet Leeds gave an adequate per-

the Reverend Dr. Shaw by Robert
