_ Toynbee: Shows
Social Radiation!

And Reception

A Healthy Society Aims
Toward Organic
Harmony

Specially contributed by
Nancy Morehouse °47

Goodhart Hall, March 3. A heal-

thy society, declared Professor Ar-
nold J. Toynbee, is one in which
there is an organic harmony of its
economic, political and cultural as-
pects; the sign of disintegration
is the separation of each of these
activities into.a distinct entity.
Entitled “Social Radiation-and-Re-
ception,” this was the fourth lec-
ture in Professor Toynbee’s series
of lectures on “Encounters between
Civilizations.”
“Every human society, like every
person, is giving out influence all
the time and giving it out in
both time and space dimensions,”
Professor Toynbee said. The in-
fluence of a healthy civilization be-
cause it is integrated is often far
less effective than that of a de-
caying civilization which can send
out isolated rays of influence, ec-
onomic, political or cultural, qa
segment of any of these.

Although the state of develop-
ment of western civilization is not
clear, there are analogies in west-
ern civilization, Professor Toynbee
pointed out, to that of the Roman
civilization in the later years of the
Empire. A healthy society, he de-
clared, will either reject outside in-
fluences or receive, selected ele-
ments on its own terms and assim-
ilate them. The example of the
Hapsburg empire illustrates the
inability of a-segment of Western
civilization to maintain a conscious-
ly controlled assimilation of Slav
elements by German society, fe-
sulting eventually in the destruc-
tion of the Austro-Hungarian Em-
pire.

There is no historical instance,

Elman’s Program
Poorly Arranged,
Excellently Played

Specially Contributed by
Ellen Harriman, ’48

Mischa Elman and his accom-
panist, Wolfgang Rose, gave us an
exceptionally fine concert Friday
night. The customary chronolog-
ical arrangement made this pro-
gram topheavy before the inter-
mission and disconnected after-
wards, but it was all good music
and well suited to Mr. Elman’s con-
cise, understated technique.

The first selection was Sammar-
tini’s Passacaglia, a subtle piece
of pure music with almost no emo-
tional content, sustained by a se-
ries of tonal climaxes and some
double-bowing, which Mr. Elman
rendered so smoothly that it was
no tour de force, but seemed nat-
ural, effortless and melodic.

Next Mr. Elman and Mr. Rose
shared the honors of Mozart’s So-
nata-in B flat Major, where the
violin and the piano alternate in
intricately mingled themes. The
delicacy of this sonata demands
discipline, strength and lightness;
it would be hard to find these qual-
ities more nearly perfected than
in Mischa Elman’s style. The An-
dante movement was particularly
striking. The audience remained
completely silent, so impressed
that no one even coughed; and no
one clapped at the close of the
movement, though they had after

the previous one. When the So-

Infirmary Policy
Approved In Poll

The replies to the recent infirm-
ary polls distributed by the Under-
graduate Council indicate that
students are, in general, satisfied
with the treatment which they re-
ceive at the infirmary but that
more than half of the 255 people
replying have avoided the infirm-
ary when sick. The chief reason
cited for this is fear of getting be-
hind in academic work.

Concrete suggestions- made on
the polls include more fruit juice
for cold patients, and better light-
ing in the infirmary rooms. People
also ask that students should nct
have to return to the hall for their
clothing themselves, once they have
been admitted as patients. A ma-
jority of the complaints made did
not apply to this year.’

A large number of people said
that they would attend a meeting
to discuss the infirmary. Moreover,
the Undergraduate Council feels
that there are many unfounded
stories about. the infirmary—in-cir-
culation. A meeting will be held
in April when the new Council
takes office.

255 pos were filled out by the
Undergraduate body. Of these,
most were from the Class of 1947
and fewest from the Freshmen.

The statistics for each question

were as follows: ¢
169 students had been in the in-
firmary.

111 had been in this year.

132 students had avoided the in-
firmary at one time or another
when they had been sick.

132 said they felt they had re
ceived Propér: treatment at the in-
firmary, whilé 43 specifically said:

Dancing and: Music Composed
By Students for Arts Night —
Group Dance to Study Arts Night to Feature

Technical Motion;
Two to Solo

On Saturday, March 8th, among
various other arts in the Arts’
Night performance, a group of
students will present a program of
dancing. The dancing will be of
an experimental nature, both in
form and presentation. It is thor-
oughly modernistic in theme and
motion, and two of the dances will
be accompanied only by drums,
with the idea of showing technical
and dramatic motion in dance
without music.

The actual program will consist
of four individual dances, the first
two to be done by groups of about
eight girls, and the other to be
solos. The theme of the first dance
is the technique of motion and is
entitled “A Study in Technique.”
Its purpose is to illustrate the
techniques of modern dance, and
to set these to motion in integrat-
ed form. It is this dance which
will illustrate the technical mo-
tion. The second of the group
dances is called “The Oppressed.”
A conflict is the theme. It is a
conflict between the oppressor and
the oppressed, in which the op-
pressed attempts to rebel. The
conflict, as presented here, is psy-
chological as well as physical, and
the theory which the dance is de-
signed to illustrate is that dra-
matic motion can be produced in a
dance without the aid of music.

The two solos will be performed
by Marjorie Low and Thalia Ar-
gyropoulo. Marjorie Low will pre-
sent another dance based on a con-
flict, “The Silver Cage,” in which
she struggles to free herself and,

after she achieves freedom, volun-

Hourani to Talk
Of Islam Religion

Mr. Cecil Hourani, from the
Arabian Office in Washington, will
speak on the Islamic religion on
Tuesday, March 11, at 8:30, in the
Common Room. His lecture will
be the second in a series of talks
on Oriental religions, of which
Miss Shrivedi’s on Hinduism was
the first.

This lecture will be of special
interest to the members of the
politics, history and philosophy de-
partments, as well as students tak-
ing courses in religion and the his-
tory of the Near East. Mr. Hou-
rani will hold a discussion period,
following his talk.

Original Work

In Music

Student composition as well as
student production will be stress-
ed in the music for Arts Night,
Saturday, March 8. Spirituals have
been ararnged by Henne Burch ’48,
Ann Eberstadt ’49, Nancy Knet-
tle ’47, and Betty Smith ’48. Helen
Anderston ’49 has composed and
orchestrated a scherzo, scored for
wind and string ensemble.

Haverford will be represented
by its octet, which will sing with
Bryn Mawr; Richard Schuman ’49
has composed a Prelude for violin
and piano.

The Bryn’ Mawr Double Octet
and the Haverford Octet will sing
together the following numbers:
“Witness”, scored for six parts by
Nancy Knettle, from a Hall John-
son solo arrangement; a medley of
“Charcoal Man” and “When a

Proves Success;

Chorus Praised

By Helen Anderton °49

A very pleasant half hour was

the Bryn Mawr Chorus’s broadcast
last Wednesday over Station WIBG.
It was a half hour which grew in-
creasingly better as the—Chorus
warmed up to its task. Some per-
formers cannot do their best be-
fore a microphone because the
stimulus of audience reaction is
totally lacking, but the Chorus
seemed to be enjoying itself thor-
oughly once its preliminary ner-
vousness was conquered.

The first two selectidns were by
Bach: Jesu Joy of Man’s Des‘ring,
These com-
prised the low point of the entire
program—like a very bad prologue
to a very good play. Although the
diction was excellent, as is custom-
ary with this chorus, the intona-
tion was sadly missed, and the
parts sounded way out of propor-
tion. The latter may have been
due to poor control in the studio
itself, for it is a difficult problem
to achieve just the right balance be-
tween the voices.

Two songs by the contemporary

composer Zoltan Kodaly came next.

Plan Arts Night
For March 8th

Evening Will Feature
Music and Drama,
Art Exhibit

On Saturday, March 8, in Good-
hart, at 8:00, Bryn Mawr and Hav-
erford will collaborate on a pro-
duction written, planned and di-
rected by the students under the
supervision of Mr. Frederick Thon,

of the Bryn Mawr English depart-
ment. Arts Night, which was ini-
tiated last year by Mr. Thon, is
intended to provide an opportunity
to present creative work by the
students in the fields of dramatics,
art and music. The entire pro-
ceeds from this year’s perform-
ance will be given to the Bryn
Mawr College Fund 1946—.

Two original plays chosen by the
Playwriting class from those writ-
ten by students in the course are
included on the program. The
cast of You'll Get Over It, written
by Nancy Ann Knettle, ’47, and
directed by William Bishop, ’49,
features Cathy, played by Nancy
Ann Knettle, ’47; Skeet, Jean Swit-
endick, ’48; Joan, Barbara Bennett,
47, and Phil, Ted Wright, ’49.
Faithfully Yours, written and di-
rected by James F. Adams, Jr.,
’47, will star Marcia Dembow, ’47,
as Christine Drake, and David
Blackwell, 50, as Carl Drake. They
will be supported by Sheila Tat-
nall, ’49, Lorelei; Herbert Chey-
ette, ’50, Mr. Basserman; Henry
Levinson, ’48, Bruno Staunchion,
and Ellen Harriman, ’48, Hattie
Arlington.

The Bryn Mawr Double Octet
and the Haverford Octet will sing
several student arrangements of
Negro spirituals under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Lorna Cooke de Var-
on. Original musical selections
will be played and sung by the
individual students and the com-
bined Bryn Mawr and Haverford
orchestra will also play.
Interpretive dance compositions
originated by the Bryn Mawr Mod-
ern Dance group and by individual
members of the group will be per-
formed. Mrs. Francisca Boas has
worked with the students in this
group.

Before and after the perform-
ance an Art Exhibit consisting of

Open the Doer, Bryn Mawr

The furor on campus for creative arts last year seems
to have died a slow, painless death. In a burst of enthusiasm,
the Skinner Workshop was opened and an instructor provid-
ed for those who wanted to paint and to draw, two experi-
mental drama groups were formed, and Arts Night estab-
lished. Today only one or two students amble down to the
Skinner Workshop, both dram oups have folded complete-
ly, and Arts Night has become a mammoth undertaking for
a mere handful of people.

Current Events

Common Room, March. ‘Discuss-
ing Reciprocal Trade Agreements,
Miss Mildred Northrop spoke of
them as “one of the most important
subjects under consideration now.”
The issue of the Reciprocal Trade
Agreements Act has again come to

|the fore since, renewed for the

fourth time in June, 1945, it ex-
pires next year. It has come to
be an integral part of the United
States’ economic foreign policy,
stated Miss Northrop, but it: has
previously been opposed by the Re-
publican Party, traditionally the
supporters of a high import tariff
policy to protect domestic’ infant
industries.

The United States has, through-
out its history, been a relatively
high-tariff country, she declared.
Our protective policy, which reach-
ed its peak in 1980, hastened the
world-wide economic collapse’ of
the early ’thirties. As a result of
that depression, emphasized Miss
Northrop, it became evident that
no one nation has the right to de-
termine tariff policies independent-
ly of other countries. The Recip-
rocal Trade Agreements Act was
first passed in 1934, bringing about
“a reversal of our tariff history,”
Miss Northrop stated. This act in-
augurated a national program for
economic revival.

The question of the renewal of

rthe Reciprocal Trade Agreements

Act takes on increased importance
now, because of the pending Inter-
national Tariff Conference, which
will take place next April, in Ge-
neva. At this conference, eighteen
nations will negotiate reciprocal
tariffs. Our ability to bargain in
that conference rests upon the re-
newal of the Reciprocal Trade
Agreements Act, Miss Northrop
feels. The State Department has
asked Congress to approve the ten-
tative plans drawn up at the Sep-
tember conference. Congress may
either make a decision now, or
wait until the actual plans have
been drawn up:and are submitted
to it for approval.

Directors Speak
Of Labor School

Common Room, Thurs., Feb. 27..| -

Opening the discussion on the Hud-
son Shore Labor School, Miss Mar-



The much-talked-about time element is the most import-
ant reason for this lethargy. The next is the lack of stimu-
amtahg Yoncereltip and good organization. The College Chorus
survives because it has set rules of attendance but its ex-
treme popularity is due to the personal charm, vitality and
excellent musicianship of “Cookie”. The Varsity Players
have produced a number of good plays this year through the
very able direction of Mr. Thon, who really knows the thea-
tre. Without this stimulation the students find it difficult to
accomplish anything.

The-waning enthusiasm could be: checked by making
meetings compulsory for those who originally signed up to
work with the various groups and on Arts Night, but creative
ness is usually the result of spontaneous action or thought.
We all complain because we find our minds continually in a
rut, but this is our own doing, because we have the chance to
create and we can, if we have the stamina to stick at what
we wert started.

The Meaning of Ipso F acto |

The fact that every student is “ipso facto” a member of
each of the five big organizations on campus holds a real in-
dividual significance. Membership carries with it both priv-
‘ilege and responsibility.

At election time this is especially significant. In choos-
ing the college officers for the coming year, the student has
both the opportunity and an obligation not only. to exercise
her present powers and individual initiative and judgment
but also to prepare herself for her ultimate ee as a vot-
er and a citizen. i

the history of the school from its
beginning on campus as the Bryn

since 1933 has it been co-educa-
tional, and it is hoped that now
students from men’s evlleges will
also apply for positions as under-
graduate helpers. The funds for
the school are raised by Bryn
Mawr, Smith, Vassar, Connecticut,
Mt. Holyoke and Radcliffe, by in-

Coleman: Explains
Dual Relationship
Of Man and God

Deanery, February 25. Father
Michael Coleman illumined many
truths and opinjons on man’s re-
lationship to his God, at an infor-
mal discussion with a group of
Bryn Mawr students. In beginning

modern instructors who belie

that the Universe can be taught
without any reference to the Cre-
ator behind the Universe. He
pointed out that this modern age,
divorcing all knowledge which
stems from God, is producing “able
minds but: moronic characters.”

To those who believe that a mor-
al code of ethics is sufficient for
the brotherhood of man, Father
Coleman says that history has
proved that ethics alone cannot
work without a religious power be-
hind them. We cannot, he con-
tinues, believe in the ethics of
Jesus Christ without believing in
His Personality and Self. Every-
one is attempting to be brotherly
today, but the world and its peo-
ple continue to be more divided.

Religion is a two-way process,
Father Coleman explained. Man is
searching for the Truth (God). At
the same time God is revealing
himself to man in terms of Per-
sonality. In the Bible, God used
the minds of human beings set on
him to reveal his Truth gradually
as man was able to absorb.it. The
Hebrews of the Old Testament ex-
panded their idea of God from one
who demanded sacrificial offerings
of a God of Forgiveness, Grace
and Love. The New Testament be-
gins with this new Personality of
God fully revealed to: man in Jesus
Christ.

Here, Father Coleman says, is
found the ‘whole of:the Gospel:
God of Perfections is trying to
show himself to man, but since the
finite mind cannot see into the in-
finite, man creates more imperfec-
tion. God, then, comes out of
Eternity into the finite of Time
and History, and in the form of

Christ experiences human agonies

the so-called “fair-mindedness?™ ese difficulties.

OIICA’s Problems

Speaking to members of ‘the.
Bryn Mawr and Haverford IRC, on
Tuesday, February 25, Mr. Bartow
Underhill of the Office of Interna-
tional Information and Cultural

ment explained some of the prob-
lems facing this office and attempts
t have been made’ to overcome

| Phé Office of International In:
formation and Cultural Affairs,
which grew out of the old Bureau
of Inter-American Affairs, the OWI
and the Cultural Affairs Division of
the State Department, has as its
main job to interpret to all peoples
of the world the American view-
point and th American way of
life. :

There are four operational divi-
sions in the Office.
Publications division distributed
printed material such as daily wire-
less bulletins to outposts of the
Office overseas. This division has
also been successful in collaborat-
ing on an American-Russian mag-
azine which is published exclusive-
ly for circulation in Russia. A
voluntary service center for the use
of foreign correspondents in this
country is also maintained.

The Radio Division of Mr. Un-
derhill’s office sends out daily
short-wave and relay broadcasts
in twenty-four different languages.
These programs are made up to be
interesting to the particular coun-
try on the receiving end and in-
clude interviews with Americans
popular overseas and American
music. Programs printed in the
various languages are also distrib-
uted.

“The Motion Picture division,”
said Mr. Underhill,..“‘tries especial-
ly to correct wrong impressions of
the United States by distributing
documentary films on phases of
life here. These include: films sucn
as “Rural Electrification,” “Lib-
rary of Congress” and “Bottle of
Milk.”

The fourth division of the bur-
eau is the Exchange of Persons di-
vision which arranges student and
professor exchanges as well as ex-
changes of doctors, scientists, -art-
ists, and cartoonists.





Five Federalist Groups Merge

The World Government Con-
gress held at. Asheville, N. C. Feb-
ruary 21-23, was a successful at-
tempt on the part of the five larg-
est Federalist groups in the United
States to merge into a single or-
ganization. The five groups, pre-
viously separate, but now «united
under a common name (United
World Federalists), common plat-
form, common treasury, and com-
man direction, were those formerly
known as World Federalists, Stud-
ent Federalists, Americans United
for World Government, World Re-
public, and the Massachusetts Com-
mittee for World Federation.

The policy statement of the
United ‘World Federalists, declar-
ing that “Peace is not merely the
absence of war, but the presence
of government and the institutions
of government”, cites the need for
“world law, universal and strong
enough to prevent armed conflict
between nations”. It stresses also
that “while endorsing the efforts
of United Nations to bring about
a world community favorable to
peace” United World Federalists
“will work primarily to strengthen
the United Nations into a world

Norman Cousins (“Modern Man

of strengthening the UN charter.
He suggested the following amend-
ments: 1. No nation may~ secede
from the UN; 2. There must be
control over all weapons of mass
destruction; 3. There ‘must be di-

It is little known that federal-
ist movements abroad are wide-
spread and have become strong in
recent years. In fact, the idea of
federalism was popular in Italy,
China, France, England, Austra-
lia, and New Zealand before it had
taken firm root in. the’ United
States. Even now, pite their
size, these countries e signifi-

Self-Gov‘t Stresses
Individual Effort
And Responsibility

Every undergraduate in the col-
lege is a member of Student Gov-

ernment and its—policies, regula-

tions and administration are form-
ed and directed by students.” Its
uniqueness lies in the lack of: fac-
ulty supervision and the total re-
sponsibility assumed by _ under-
graduates.

This government operates
through the permission-givers, a
large group of students appointed
by hall presidents on the basis of
individual responsibility who sign
students out and aid the hall presi-
dents .in carrying out hall regula-
tions. The actual administration
of they, organization rests on the
Advisory Board, which consists of
hall presidents, and the Eexcutive
Board, which decides whether cor-

specific cases, interprets the rules,
and guides policy for the campus
as a whole.

The president of Student Gov-
ernment conducts the meetings of
the Advisory Board and the Exec-
utive Board. She is a member of
the Undergraduate and the College
Councils. She has the power to
use any means which she sees fit
to make the rules known to the
association. It is her duty to call
together and preside over any
meetings of the Association.

The Advisory Board turns in the
signing out sheets and reports any
offenses which have occurred dur-
ing the week to the president. She
interviews the student concerned
and makes a full investigation of
each case in order that the Execu-
tive Board may make a fair judg-
ment of the situation. Any deci-
sion is made only with the agree-
ment of every member of the
Board, and each case must be re-
considered if an appeal is made.

The Student Government Asso-
ciation was founded in 1892 on the
principle that Undergraduates
were capable of directing their
own behavior. Intelligent, adult
behavior and submission to major-
ity decision have been character-
istic of the orgafization since its
formation.

League Directs
Social Services

Responsibility for social services
on campus is\in the hands of the
Bryn Mawr League. The League
Board, which integrates the vari-
ous functions of the organization,
is composed of a president, a sec-
retary, representatives of the
freshmen, sophomores, non-resi-
dents and graduate students, a
publicity director, and the chair-
men and assistant chairmen of va-
rious committees.

One of the chief activities of the
League is running a summer camp
on the New Jersey shore for under-
privileged Philadelphia children.
Three groups of campers come for
two weeks each. It also arranges
to have Bryn Mawr students read
to the blind at the school in Over-
brook.

The League is in charge of all
Red Cross activities on campus.
This includes dancing and arts and
crafts work at Valley Forge Gen-
eral Hospital. The organization
also sends an undergraduate each
summer to work at the Hudson
Shore Labor School.

Also under the League is the
‘very active Maids’ and Porters’
Committee, which arranges for
their classes, their annual play and
dance, and their Christmas. carol-

Undergrad is Contact
Between Students,

Administration

One of the main purposes of Un-
dergrad is to serve as a channel of
contact between the student body
and the members of the Admin-
istration, Faculty and Alumnae;
and in this capacity it informs both
parties of the opinions and the re-
actions of the other.

Every Undergraduate is auto-
matically a member of the Under-
graduate Association. The author-
ity of this organization is vested in
the President and seven members

The Association also serves as



a co-ordinating element in campus
activities. Hereby, all activities
except those which fall in the spe-
cific fields of the League, the Alli-
ance and the A. A. are provided
for and supervised by Undergrad.
Lantern Night and Mayday ar-
rangements, Dances and movies
are thus taken care of by the or-
ganization.

The finances of the Association
are administered by the Common
Treasurer, who supervises most of
the paid jobs on campus, such as
the positions of Payday Mistress,
Hall Announcer and head of Lost
and Found. Student dues provide
the salaries.

All Clubs are chartered and un-
der the auspices of Undergrad.
These include three language clubs,
French, Spanish and German
Clubs, the Chorus, the Varsity
Players Club, the Science Club and
the Stage Guild, as well as the
Art and Modern Dance Clubs.

Helped by her vice-president,
Undergrad’s President appoints all
Committeé heads (with the excep-
tion of the Curriculum Committee,
whose head is chosen by the other

members of her organization).
These committees include the
Freshman Committee, the Cut

Committee, the Vocational Com-
mittee and the Point Committee,
the Record Library, the Furniture
Sales and the Ushering Commit-
tee. Undergrad sees that they are
active, progressive and efficient.

February 27th]

Statements Made
By Curric. Comm.

The Curriculum Committee has
submitted the two following state-
ments after its meeting on Febru-
ary 12:

“There has been some feeling
among the seniors that there
should be a more unified policy
with regard to senior midyear
quizzes. The Curriculum Commit-
tee has asked the Dean to clarify
this matter at the next faculty
meeting. The general policy is that
the. midyear examination period
should be a free reading period for
seniors, but the individual profes-
sor actually has the final authority
in regard to thé time and form of
the examination given.”

-“The Curriculum Committee has
been asked by several students to
take up the subject of long papers
due near together and it was sug-
gested that something be done to
relieve this pressure. The Com-
mittee decided to consult the Dean
to find out the exact policy with
regard to papers. It was found
that there is no one over-all pol-
icy; rather, the’ number and the

length of papers eft entirely to
the discretion « individual in-

Istructor. The Déan will be glad
to try to help any student who
feels she ete 2 she |

Council Composed
Of Six Presidents

Of Associations

The undergraduate Council and
College Council were formed in or-
der to co-ordinate all campus ac-
tivities and to discuss any problems

| which might arise in the, under-
‘| graduate body.

)

The Undergraduate Council is
composed of the heads of the six
associations: Self-government, Un-
dergrad, League, Alliance, AA and
News, with the secretary of Un-
dergrad acting as its secretary.
This meets at least once a week to
discuss any problems which might
have arisen and to talk on college
affairs. The council has no power
of decision except as each presi-
dent takes action for her partic-
ular association. It is mainly a
discussion and advisory group.
Each month it presents through its
chairman, the president of Under-
grad, a proposed agenda for Col-
iege Council.

College Council meets once a
week a month to discuss under-
graduate events with representa-
tives from the college. These in-
clude Miss McBride, Miss Nepper,
Mrs. Chadwick-Collins, Miss Howe,
Miss Clayton, the four class presi-
dents and the presidents of the as-
sociations. The group talk over
any questions concerning both the
college authorities and the under-
graduates with the president of
Undergrad acting as its president.

Alliance Directs

Political Groups

The purpose of the Bryn Mawr
Alliance is to initiate and co-ordi-
nate all activity on campus in con-
nection with current events and
political action. In carrying out
its aim it co-operates with the fac-
ulty, the College Council and the
Undergraduate Council, and is one
of the sponsors of the Undergrad-
uate Volunteer Activities Program.
Alliance Functions
Under the Alliance come two re-
lief agencies, WSSF, which has re-
cently taken care of the clothing
drive, and CARE. The Alliance
also includes the International Re-
lations Club; the Industrial Group,
which _works—with—labor— unions;
Current Events; and Alliance As-
semblies. It has recently inaug-
urated one new organization, the
Student Federalists, while it is also
investigating activities of the Stu-
dents’ Democratic Action and the
International Students’ Organiza-
tion.

On the Alliance Board are repre-
sentatives from the above organi-
zations, as well as two publicity
members, two representatives from
each hall (one of whom is a fresh-
man), a News liaison, and a Non-
Res member.



proposed to the Undergraduate
Curriculum Committee to relieve
the pressure of papers is that a
limit be imposed on the number of
papers a student may have in one
semester; however, ‘two years ago
the faculty voted against a pro-
posal whereby a student would have]
a maximum of two long papers a
semester.

The Curriculum Committee is
open to any further suggestion on
this matter from the students.”

Elman Performance

Reveals Sensitivity
Continued from Page 1

nata was finished the applause was

subdued, but. unmistakably appre-

ciative.

Elman gives a sensitive, quiet,
unsentimental performance. He
works for harmonious tone, and
exactitude of phrasing, never
dramatizes either the difficult or

the vivid passages, and rarely re-
sorts to retards or tremolo effects,
even where they are. generally
used in the work he is playing.
Mr. Rose co-operated closely with
him in this respect. The Mendels-
sohn Concerto in E Minor, for in-
stance, they rendered in an accur-
ate, fluid, brilliant manner, utterly
different from the soft tone fre-
quently given to his music by a
violinist like Kreisler. This con-
certo is a vigorous workout for the
soloist, especially the first move-
ment cadenza and the molto vivace
in the home stretch. Elman seem-
ed to show here an understandable
lack of stamina, not always get-
ting just what he wanted from his
violin; but in spite of occasional
slips, his rendition was as satisfy-
ing for this music as it could pos-
sibly be. A lively tempo, a pre-
cise yet never unsympathetic ar-
ticulation, a marvelous grace and
melody in the very high notes, and
a perfect command of the Con-
certo as a whole evoked great en-
thusiasm from the audience.

After the intermission came a
medium-—length—Poeme,—of—Chaus-
son; one of Chopin’s Nocturnes
(played with a mute); Arthur
Benjamin’s From San Domingo,
which was rhythmic, amusing, and
full of tricks; and a Joseph Achron
composition based on a Hebrew
melody, very Simple and full of
feeling, which Elman _ interpreted
beautifully and in which the ac-
companiment was especially good.
_The program ended with Polonaise
Brillante by Wieniawski, quite
long, intricate, and played at
break-neck speed. The music was
not._of the highest interest, but
wonderfully played.

Mr. Elman gave two encores in
response to loud applause. The
first, Shubert’s Ave Maria, jarred
a little on the previous atmosphere
of the concert. Its frankly ro-

___mantic mood is not suited to El-

F oreign Students
Describe Schools —

In Own Countries

The graduate students met on
Wednesday evening, February 19,
at-Radnor Hall-to hear talks by
the foreign students on the sys-
tems of ,education used in their
countries as compared with the
system used in the United States.

Grace Werring spoke on the
Norwegian system. High schools
graduate the students after six
years with the equivalent or a
junior college degree. Tuition to
colleges is free. There is no A.B.
degree as we think of it, because
each subject requires a different
time to complete, ranging from five
to twelve years in the case of med-
icine. Grace felt that the Nor-
wegian system of education was
less flexible than ours, but more
thorough.

Claveria Speaks
On Spanish Lit.

Senor Carlos Claveria; Professor
of Spanish at the University of
Pennsylvania, spoke on “The Gyp-
sy Element in Spanish Literature”
at a meeting of the Spanish Club

Claveria traced the westward mi-
gration of the gypsy bands
through Europe and America, and
told of the gypsy influence in the

those countries.

The Spanish gypsies, who ap-
peared first in Barcelona, have col-
onies in nearly all of the big cities,
usually in the depths of the lowest
society, Senor Claveria said. The
gypsy element is found in the
songs, folklore, dances and art of
Spain. The Spanish language has
adopted many of the roots of the
gypsy language, which has been
more influential in Spain than in
any other country.

Margit Frenk, in comparing Senor Claveria illustrated the
Mexican education with that given| gypsy influence as it is found in
at Bryn Mawr, described the|the literature and the vocabulary

broadness of the Mexican system
in contrast to the concentrated plan
here. The, Mexican student knows
what he will major in before en-
tering college, and takes specified
courses in that field, but there are
a great number of courses so that
the student can have a wide range
of study.

Chi Shang Ch’ih explained the
situation in Chinese colleges since
the war. The movement to unoc-
cupied territories and the frequent
air raids disrupted the colleges,
although they continued to func-
tion. The situation is even worse
now than it was during the war.
In addition to college work each
student must be responsible for
two other jobs as well. Chinese
students are especially interested
in studying political science.

Finnish college life was describ-
ed by Kila Harju. The student
body in the university is highly or-
ganized into various clubs. There
are clubs to discuss all sorts of in-
tellectual and social work, and the
various groups try to take respon-
sibility for some form of social
service such as caring for war or-
phans. In 1938 a student group
organized a defense force on the
Western frontier.

Jacqueline Gard was impressed



man’s particular gifts; he is not
so prone to interpret, as simply to
express, what he plays. The sec-
ond, one of the Hungarian Dances,
was a better finish to such an eve-
ning.

that the wide variety of courses
provides a balanced education, giv-

In Chorus Broadcast

tinued from Page 1

You mightn’t have known that it
was the same chorus which had
just sung Woe Is Me fairly shim-
mered in its effect; discords were
well brought out, and the well ren-
dered solos received substantial
backing from the larger group.
Blooming on the Hilltop featured
the double octet which seemed up
to its usua} standard of excellence.

Student a~rangements followed:
The Titanie arranged by Henny
Burch, and W'de Deep River ar-
ranged by Betty Smith. Incident-
ally Betty Smith’s solo in the first
of these songs was one of the high
spots on the program.

Radiation of Decay
Defined by Toynbee

Continued from Page 1

Professor Toynbee stated, in which
the breakdown of a civilization has
been caused by external forcés, but
rather the victory of an external
force is a sign that the civilization
has for some time been in-internal
decay. A civilization in decay is
often afraid of the influence of
outside forces and attempts to re-
ject them; Professor Toynbee cited
as a suggestive analogy the refus-
al of the United States after the
last war to continue its earlier
policy of unlimited immigration.
There are three factors, Profes-
.sor Toynbee said, which may cause
the separation of a civilization’s in-

handle rhythmic technicalities, as:

The familiar Watercresses which |
was introduced so successfully last |

I have said before, and I will say
it here again, that the Bryn Mawr
Chorus is well on its way towards
becoming the finest women’s col-
legiate choir in the country. Its
recipe for success has been tested
and proved. It is time that more
people were given the opportunity
to hear this group.

COLLEGE NEWS





Carol McGovern
Represents B. M. at
N.S.0. Conference

Carol McGovern ’48, represented
Bryn Mawr at the caucus of col-
leges from eastern Pennsylvania
represented at the Chicago Confer-

February 15th. The purpose of
the meeting was to discuss the re-
action of the students of the east-
ern Pennsylvania colleges to the
Chicago Conference, and to permit
the students to express an opinion
which would represent the group
at the executive meeting.

The method of selecting the rep-
resentatives to the conference was
discussed. It Was recommended
that each college and university
should have one vote, necessitating
the division of the vote among the
several colleges which make up a
university. The division of the
vote would be determined by the
student government, or some other
suitable group. It was requested
that the representative be elected
by a preferential ballot rather than
having the delegate appointed.

The qualifications suggested for
representatives were that they
should be doing full time work +o-

wards attaining a degree in some |’

institution of higher learning ac-
credited by the board of education,
and that the members should ex-
press the intention of returning to
the college they represent after at-
tending the conference.

A suggestion was made by Mr.
Kerridge, of International House,
that the organization should help
in the forming of a foreign-Ameri-
student organization which
would be a clearing house for in-
formation and help for those stu-
dents.

The caucus discussed the judici-
ary system: they felt necessary for
the organization. They do not
want a separate judiciary body,

‘but prefer an executive or staff

eommittee. A faculty panel which
would be invited to attend sessions
of the N. S. O. was recommended,
although there was thought to be
no need for a formal advisory
counsel,

Carol McGovern feels that the

students should take an interest in
the organization and give it their
support, since Bryn Mawr prac-
tices the principles which the N.
S.-O. hopes to enact throughout
the colleges and universities of
America, such as a strong student
government, a large proportion of
foreign students, and the abolition
of the quota system of selecting
students. The decision as to wheth-
er Bryn Mawr will become a func-
tioning member of the N. S. O.
will have to be made soon. Carol
stresses the importance of having
a membership in a body which uni-
fies and stimulates the efforts. and
ideas of-all of the college students
in the country.

The audience is warned that
“You'll Get Over It’. The main
problem of the cast during rehear-
sal is to get over—and through—-
flats that fall and mysteriously
rise, fresh with paint, in the midst
of dramatic dialogue; a silent stage
crew patters back and forth with
ant-like activity to complete a set
that evolves simultaneously with
the plot of the play..

Like “Faithfully Yours” Nancy
Knettle’s one-act play is set in
California, but a careful scrutiny
of the quavering flats fails to re-
veal a. palm-tree frond for: which,
we add, the audience may be sin-
cerely grateful. The four charac-
ters include a_ be-slacked female
bus-boy, who indulges in character
analysis, or rather male analysis
through horn-honking, a model who
reaches the same basic conclusions

is completed by a male lead, re-

and griefs in order to reveal the

Perfect Love to man. Thus, God’s
process of revealing meets man’s
searching for the Perfect in Beth-
lehem.

Father Coleman believes there is

: : ly one God for all religions. “We

_ Joseph’s College, Philadelphia, on | 2"™@nged by Betty Smith, from the _|ferent paths,” he said. All people
’ ?

come unto the Father through

Christ, but not necessarily in this -

world, he feels.

Answering a question on the
possibility of humans having a
mystical experience with God,
Father Coleman said that God and
man do not beconie one in such an
experience, but become at one.
Heaven is this state of existing at
one with God.

The two existing evils are with-
in and without man, he related.
These both are embodied in the
Genesis story of the Garden of
Eden. Evil within is symbolized
by the Fall of Man, his misuse of
Free Will, while the outside evil
is symbolized by the Serpent of
Temptation. God, being the only
Perfect, took on himself the ran-
som and redemption of man from
these evils.

In concluding his_ discussion,
Father Coleman stressed the pow-
er of prayer. Prayer, he com-
ments, is common to all religions
as the method of achieving union
with the God of that religion.

Anyone wishing to write to
Father Coleman is asked to do so.
His, address can be obtained from
Mary Schaeffer, Rhoads North.
