Mrs.

T. Lamont Gives
Generous Grant

To B.M.C.

Bryn Mawr has recently been one
of the five independent women’s
colleges to be left $250,000 by Mrs.
Thomas W. Lamont, widow of the
former chairman of the board of
J..P. Morgan and Company. Mrs.
Lamont died in New York on De-
cember 29 and her will bequeathed
$3,950,000 to educational and civic
organizations. The largest sum,
$1,200,000, went to Smith for be-
ing “outstanding in service to the
nation.” Here Mrs. Lamont spent
four years. $500,000 went to Bar-
nard where she received her M. A.
in- Philosophy and which she con-
sidered the leading woman’s col-
lege in New York. Aside from Bryn
Mawr the other colleges receiving
a quarter of a million dollars are
Radcliffe, Mt. Holyoke, Wellesley,
and Vassar.

-In her will Mrs. Lamont explain-
ed why she-had left these partic-
ular’. colleges money. She felt
women’s and men’s education to be

on an equal level of importance. The S abba tical De SI gns

educational services to the nation” |

because of the quality of their
teaching, their readiness to pio-
neer in new methods as well as
new fields, and their setting of
high intellectual and moral stand-
ards. Unfortunately, their right to
support has not been adequately
recognized in relation to the sup-
port given to men’s colleges, and
grants are usually given to co-
educational institutions or to jun-
ior colleges. She hoped the money
would be used for increased endow-
ment of faculty salaries.

The Union Theological Seminary
and Harvard Divinity School also
received $250,000 apiece in an at-
tempt “to halt the rising tide of
secularism in the world today”.

President McBride |

Voices her Opinion
On Loyalty Pledges

“Schools and colleges themselves |

Katharine McBride, when a recent.

census. of opinion was taken|
among college presidents and
school representatives. “They (the



schools and colleges) should be|
given full responsibility and held
to their responsibility for this'
function. Loyalty oaths are in-:
fringements of the essential rights
of citizens, whether teachers or
not, as well stated in the concur-
vences of Justices Black and Frank-
furter.”

| The statement was occasioned by
|a recent Supreme Court case in-
volving the refusal of seven teach-
ers at Oklahoma Agricultural and
Mechanical College to sign the
state loyalty oath. Because it re-
quired of all state employees an
assertion that they were not mem-
bers of any “subversive” or “Com-
munist front” organizations, the
teachers, who claimed they were
not Communists, objected to the
principle of signing an oath. The
court held the Oklahoma oath un-
constitutional.

John Scott Views
‘Historic Osmosis’
Combining Europe

“When I went to Berlin in 1945,
I found a highly organized state
in a state of disorganization,” said
John Scott in his talk about the
“Press and the Cold War’, given
on Wednesday evening in the Com-
mon Room at Goodhart Hall. He
claimed that there were many
ruins, people living on “sticks of
furniture,” and “wash hanging out
over nothing.” The attitude of the
people was in some cases arro-
gant, in some apologetic, but in
most indifferent.

Because of his belief in using
journalistic symbolism —that_ is,
selecting one individual instead of
the whole group, and thereby de-
scribing the general situation—Mr.
Scott described a little German
boy, Dietrich, whom he met. “Die-
trich,” Mr. Scott said, “told me
that they used to be told in school
that the Germans were right and
that the Russians were barbaric;
and now when they had school at
all, they were told that the Rus-
sians were right and the Germans

barbaric. ‘You know,’ claimed
Dietrich, ‘I think they’re both
wrong.’”

To describe the general attitude
of the Russians, Mr. Scott told the
story of his conversation with a
Russian gentleman at a party
where German and Russian of-
ficials were congenially talking
peace. The Russian complained of
Hitler’s coming along and destroy-
ing history. He claimed that before
Hitler, there was capitalism and
communism, which were hostile to

R. Krautheimer, Medieval Art Specialist,
Writes on Roman Christian Architecture

Mr. Richard Krautheimer, who
spoke Monday night in Goodhart
on the relationship of Alberti and
Ghiberti (“the relationship other
than the last syllables of their
names”) has “just about finished”
the work on his book on Ghiberti.

Mr. Krautheimer, now associated
with the Institute of Fine Arts of
New York University, is intensely
interested in the whole field of
medieval art and is especially an
authority on medieval architecture.
Early Christian architecture and
the basilicas in Rome have been
among his foremost concerns in
the past. A believer in thorough
treatment of his subjects, Mr.
Krautheimer spent much time at
the American School of Classical
Studies in pRome doing research
and observation for his most re-
cent work, Corpus of Early Christ-

ian Basilicas in Rome.

Alberti has been a special object
of Mr. Krautheimer’s study, pri-
marily because he believes that too
many people think Alberti was
nothing more than an architect.
“He was a theorist, you know,
above all, and a theorist of every-
thing - - - a counselor of human-
ism.” Mr. Krautheimer’s scholar-
ly investigation has led him to be-
lieve that Ghiberti, who was a
practical artist with very little
theory of his own, has applied
many of the principles of Alberti.

Mr. Krautheimer came to the
United States in 1935 and has
taught at the Universities of Marl-

borough and Louisville and at Vas-
sar College for the past fifteen
years. This was his first visit to
Bryn Mawr... “and, of course,
I’m enchanted to be here... at an

Professor Relates
Alberti Conception
With Ghiberti Art

Exactly what is the relationship
between Ghiberti and Alberti, two
of the Quattrocento’s most formid-
able figures in the world of art? |
Mr. Krautheimer, one of ‘today’s
foremost authorities on the art of
Ghiberti, purposes to show all the
possibilities of such a direct rela-
tionship and allow us to choose any
answer we like for the riddle.

In 1454, Alberti, already ac-
claimed by the Humanist circles
of the day, sought refuge in Flor-
ence from the papal tyranny in
Rome. It was there in 1436 that
he published his treatise “On
Painting”, which suggested revolu-
tionary ideas concerning a merg-
ence of artistic and intellectual
circles. To Alberti the pictorial
arts were worthy of universal con-
sideration and the artist, though
not the mere craftsman, was en.-
titled to consult the poet upon sub-
ject matter or to expect the
scholar to “study” pictorial art.
Above all, the model of antiquity
should be considered the source of
basic ideals to be observed and
absorbed.

Contemporarily, in 1456, Ghi-
berti had completed the ten panels
commissioned by the Calimala to
be used on the main doors of the
Bapistery of Florence. These
scenes were Ghiberti’s triumph and
he himself meant to stress within
them shallow relief, a perfect pro-
portion of figure to architectural
setting, an overall fluidity of line,
and, Mr. Krautheimer adds, a re-
flection of the antique that lends
them an ideal atmosphere. Within
the Isaac and Joseph panels, the
problem of decades before, that of
representing the three dimensional
upon the two dimensional surface
by means of his most extreme
method of perspective, was solved
and this unity of space set in the

window-like setting of a gilded
bronze panel were the epitome of
the ideal Renaissance conception
of fiures in an architectural set-



Survey Reveals

High Standards
At Bryn Mawr

Indicates College Trains
Most Female
Scholars

If you often think that your
roommate is destined to be the
Madame Curie of the second half
of the twentieth century, you may
not be far wrong. In the January
issue of Mademoiselle, an advance

report of an independent survey
financed by the Ford Foundation
Fund for the Advancement of Ed-
ucation reveals that Bryn Mawr
produces more scholars per 1000
students than any other women’s
college in the United States.

Bryn Mawr received this place
of distinction with a rating whicn
exceeds that of the second women’:
college by 14.9 points. Bryn Mawr
also rates higher than the top
men’s college, which is Haverford.

It is noteworthy that the three
colleges which are rated highest
are Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and
Swarthmore. These colleges par-
ticipate with one another in a
Three College Plan whereby pro-
fessors and library facilities may
be shared.

The survey is based on the grad-
uates of college from 1945 to 1951.
The scholars are those graduates
who are most likely to make a sig-
nificant contribution to the world
in a scholarly field.

Although the article emphasizes
the scholastic side of college life,
it makes it plain that Bryn Mawr
students are not exclusively brains.
It does not overlook the fact that
dramatic productions, parties, and
other extra-curricular activities
are as much a part of undergrad-
uate life at Bryn Mawr as classes
and lectures. The article points
out that Bryn Mawr students use
their intellects successfully on
Princeton men as well as academic

subjects.



Provides Graduate

The extent of the graduate |
school at Bryn Mawr has caused it
to be called “Bryn Mawr’s most or-
iginal educational experiment,” ac-
cording to the President’s report
for the year 1951-1952. No other
small college in the United States
has followed the standard set in
establishing conditions possible for
both M.A. and Ph. D. degrees, as,
offered at Bryn Mawr in all major
departments.

With the demand for specializa-
tion of knowledge increasing year-
ly, the graduate school has aimed
at individual research. The par-
ticular attention given to each
graduate student is possible only,
because the departments are small,
the number of students in each
falling between two and eight or
ten. Thus, close association be-
tween student and professor is not
only potential, but actual. The
matter becomes more important as |
the student realizes the value of
such an association as opposed to
the crowded apd impersonal condi- |
| tions of a large university. |





Bryn Mawr’'s Educational Experiment

Study Opportunity

A small number in the graduate
department permits a program
planned for the individual, and the
student is assured of working at
her top level without being hin-
dered by either the slowness or
advanced articulation of others
around her. The professor is able
to immediately direct her work
toward a specific goal, and she is
not penalized by large lecture
groups; on the contrary, seminars
and individual research are begun
as soon as the graduate work is
initiated.

The objection that a small grad-
uate school provokes narrowness
is answered by the fact that the
school should be aware of its own
limitation by seeking cross-evalu-
ation and association with other
institutions and _ societies. This
type of work is also designated for
a particular type of student, and

‘those who would not find what

they are seeking should be dis-
couraged by the departments from
working at Bryn Mawr.

Achievement

What have Bryn Mawr students of past years used their
college educations to achieve? What can we who are now in
college learn from their example about our potentialities as
Bryn Mawr graduates when we assume the responsibility of
knowledge?

Recently in an independent study sponsored by the Ford
Foundation, Mademoiselle placed Bryn Mawr at the top
among the non-coeducational colleges educating young men
and women who have used their educations as stepping
stones to greater scholarly achievement. Too little has, how-
ever, been said about those who go out from Bryn Mawr and
become outstanding contributors to business and profession-

al circles.

Among these graduates are members of the entertain-
ment world—Theresa Helburn, director of the Theatre Guild,
and Katherine Hepburn. Contributing notably to magazine
publication are Mrs. Seymour Freedgood, associate editor of
Harper’s, and Content Peckham, a senior editor for Time.
Mrs. Dorothy Schiff is president and publisher of the New
York Post.

Eleanor Dulles, political economist, began her career do-
ing research on the International Bank in Geneva; in the last
war she was political advisor on Austrian affairs to the com-
manding general. Hilda Smith has been able to contribute
to the Workers’ Education Movement through her recent post
with the Labor Department in Washington.

Carrying the idea of higher education for women abroad
was Michi Kawi, who has become an outstanding educator in
Japan. In the United States, Edith Hamilton is a well-known
writer and educator. Four college presidents are included in
the ranks of Bryn Mawr graduates, not to mention countless
school principals. Elizabeth Gray Vining is famous for her
unusual position as tutor to the Japanese Crown Prince.

In the Alumnae Office are four long shelves of books
which represent “only a fraction” of the publications by
graduates. Among these are the works of Marianne Moore.
Katherine Shippen and Cornelia Meigs have written outstand-
ing children’s stories.

‘Emily Green Balch of the Class of ’89, economist, was
co-winner in 1946 of the Nobel Peace Prize.

‘Director of the WAVES during the past war was Jean
aaesuiata Thomas W. Streeter, was the original head

Ghiberti’s Art Reflects
Alberti’s Artistic Ideal
Continued from Page 1

ting.

The question raised then, is
whether this work of combined
ideals, which is so far superior to
and immensely more mature than
Ghiberti’s earlier door, (also done
for the Baptistery), was based on
the space conception advocated by
Brunelleschi or newly defined by
Alberti. Brunelleschi, basically an
architect, was what can now be
recognized as a precursor of the
more sustained ideas of Alberti
and Ghiberti. His architectural
approach failed when applied to
the scale of pictorial arts. But Al-
berti wrote for the painter and
sculptor, provided a _ perspective
theory based on vanishing and dis-
tance points and conceived of a
work of art as the whole made up
of its many parts.

There lies the basis of the riddle.
As Alberti conceived of art, so
Ghiberti produced it. The sequence
of chronological events, if recalled
at this point, proves that Ghiberti
had finished the ten panels two
years before Alberti put his treat-
ise in script form.

Nothing, though, prevents spec-
ulation upon the idea that artists,
stimulated by the intellectual free-
dom of the day, were airing their
views and that those of Ghiberti
reached the doors of the Baptist-
ery earlier than the similar ideas
of Alberti found expression upon
paper. Single figures in the sculp-
tural reliefs of Ghiberti do echo
the ideals of Brunelleschi. There-
fore Mr. Krautheimer suggests



Phip
Of Solid Philosophy

Charles Poore in his column
“Books of the Times” has describ-
ed the collection of the philoso-
phies of one hundred men and
women, made by Edward R. Mur-
row in his recent This I Believe.
This book, edited by Edward P.
Morgan and forwarded by Murrow,
gives many varied approaches to
what has been called a_ steady
philosophy. for a shaky time.

Among those quoted in the ar-
ticle were Jackie Robinson, Thomas
Mann, Elmer Davis, Herbert
Hoover, and Rebecca West. Anne
Phipps, a member of the class of
’54, now studying abroad, was also
quoted. She says, “This winter |
came to college. The questions
put to me changed. I was asked
eternal questions: What is Beau-
ty? What is Truth? What is
God? I wondered if I hadn’t been
worshipping around the _ edges.
Nature and art were the edges, an
inner faith was the center.”

Of Federation in Europe

each other. “Now that Hitler is
gone,” the Russian said, “we can
go back to normal. We hate each
other, so I don’t know why those
officials are talking about peace.”

At present, there is a stronge)
movement than ever before for
European unity. Previously, there
have been many plans, but until
the end of World War II, nothing
had crystallized . Then the Soviet
Union, by force, unified part cf
Europe in their own economic in-
terests. In some ways, this has
been beneficial. For example, Po-
land was flat on its back in 1945,
and the forced unification has
helped the Polish people to get
back on their feet. “Therefore,”
said Mr. Scott, “the forced unity
has created a position of kinetic
and potential political and military
strength.”

Many Europeans are now think-
ing in terms of unity. There are
two problems to be solved, how-
ever: 1) What place would Ger-
many hold in such a unity, and 2)
the question of Neutralism. Also
the Soviet Union is facing the
problem of disillusionment and
cynicism among the Russian
people. Up to a certain point, the
Soviet Union represented a pro-
gressive force, Communism based
on Marxism, but now the people

are becoming dissatisfied.

Mr. Scott does not think that
war is inevitable. He believes
that “historic osmosis is going on,’
that many concessions will be
made, and that there will be an
emergence of historic compromise.
With such compromise and the
ironing out of problems in the path
of European unity, there will be
no necessity for war.



that from Brunelleschi’s day for-
ward, the trend toward idealization
of the figure, space, and setting
had progressed relentlessly in ob-
jective art and subjective ideas. [t

both Ghiberti and Alberti who cer-
tainly seem to have talked things
over and agreed.

ing service to the public or the nation in their fields. A Bryn
Mawr education can be whatever we choose to make it - - -
the end of school learning or the pathway to harder, more re-
warding work. At this moment of our lives, each student is
developing her potentialities for the day when she will find
her own field of endeavor.

Current Events

Lattimore Delineates
Responsibilities
Of Writers

Mr. Richmond Lattimore gave the
second in a series of expansive
Current Events topics on science,
art, and philosophy with a lecture
on the place of literature in so-
ciety. Mr. Lattimore explained he
only intended to discuss the fiction
writer.

First he established that this
type of artist is not necessarily
poetical, colorful, or the type of
person who leads a picturesque
life. Very often these attributes
require the time and energy that
a writer, a busy man, does not
have to waste on them. To get re-
sults and tap the supply of fiction
material that is in everyone, he
needs to spend time in hard work,
he needs a talent for writing, and
he needs the gift for absorbing
concentration.

In his job of creating, the writ-
er will come upon certain laws and
compulsions that to some extent
take the control out of his hands,
and he cannot always rebel against
this kind of direction. Once the
| work is finished, however, the au-
thor can step outside of his former
role and survey his work dispas-
sionately, as a critic, and so
change it if part of it is damaging,
or not suitable to print.

In a society the writer has no
special rights, but as a citizen he
is responsible for the duties re-
quired of all citizens. As a writer,
it is his job to write as well as he
can, and if he is to do this he must
not make his political or humani-
tarian views his primary aim; as
a writer he is being a bad citizen
if he puts forward an attack on his
government as his main purpose.
Politics is no criterion for art, for
if a totalitarian artist has his con-
centration as his main purpose and
succeeds, then he is good. Mr. Lat-
timore does not like any kind of
censorship, but if a forceful writer
expounds in a destructive fashion
against his government, he should
conceivably be censored.

Nahm and Strauss Edit Collection
Of Husik’s ‘Philosophical Essays’

reviewed by Ellen Bell, ’53

Philosophical Essays of Isaac
Husik. Edited by Milton C. Nahm
and Leo Strauss, 1952.

For five years Milton Nahm and
Leo Strauss explored the far cor-
ners of the literary world to col-
lect what they believed to be the
best of the essays of: Isaac Husik.
Last summer (1952) their search
ended when they edited the Philo-
sophical Essays of Isaac Husik, as
well as writing a preface which
not only told something of his life
and works, but also offered a criti-
cism of his philosophy. Mr. Nahm
had particular interest in bringing
together and organizing his far
flung essays in one volume, for he
was a close friend of Husik and
one of his students at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania.

Isaac Husik spent most of his
high school and college years in
Philadelphia. He went to the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, and later
greatly through the kindness of
his good friends Newbold and
Singer became a Fellow in research
there. Mr. Nahm pointed out the
tremendous influence that coming
to America had on the life of



Husik, for he was born of a pious
Jewish family near Kiev, Russia,
and seemed destined for the life of
a Rabbi. However, after a short
while at the Jewish Theological
Seminary, Husik became convinc-
ed that the intellectual restrictions
placed upon him, (especially that
of a Jew studying Jewish philoso-
phy, rather than a philosopher
studying Philosophy) would not
allow him to understand philoso-
phy objectively, or on anything but
biased terms. Mr. Nahm observed
that the United States gave him
this opportunity to develop his po-
tentialities as a philosophical his-
torian, which would not have been
possible elsewhere. It is not often

and enjoyable musical comedy.

It was wise of David Hershey,
the program manager, not to in-

Hasty Pudding Program, for the
plot was almost unique in its in-
significance and complexities. The
DAR Committee Chairman Estrel-
lita St. Clair, played by Frederick
Fayeett, visits the reservation ex-
pressly to strike oil but first she
strikes her ex-husband Mordecai
Van Sheer (James O’Neill) posing
as a pitchman-patent medicine
vendor. Mordecai knows exactly
where the oil is—in an abandoned
oaken-bucket well. They forget

MacGregor Relates Moral Problem

To Religion and

Study of Values

reviewed by Michele Guerard, °54

Les Frontieres de la Morale et de
la Religion, Geddes MacGregor,
Editions Montaigne, Paris, 1952.

- “In so far as philosophical prob-
lems, the religious problem and the
moral problem are merely two
aspects of the problem of value,”
says Professor MacGregor in the
introduction to his work. (Conse-
quently, his study of the relation
between ethics and religion is cen-
tered on the question of value. A
brief description of the specific and
essential cnaracteristigs of both
ethics and religion and a short
study ot their relation to meta-
physics shows that “it is necessary
co relate the problem of the rela-
tion between ethics and religion to
the metaphysical problem of val-
ues, for these are the fabric, so to
speak, which religion and ethics
are made of.”

Mr. MacGregor then begins a
discussion of the problem of value,
integrating, on the basis of Croce’s
quaternary scheme of values, the
purely moral aspect of value intw
a transcendental, absolute type oi
Value, identified with the object 02
religion, God. A conclusion is
drawn from this first approach tu
the problem: Ethics has its own

Freed good Reviews
Job Opportunities

On January 8, the Vocational
Committee of the Undergraduate
Association presented Mrs. Seymour
Freedgood, Class of ’88 at Bryn
Mawr, who spoke in the Common
Room on “Opportunities in Pub-
lishing.”

In getting a job she emphasized
the importance of “pull”, and of

“selling yourself.” For contacts,
Mrs. Freedgood suggested the
“Literary Market Place”, which
gives a list of names. In selling
yourself, try to find something
which makes you unique, some-
thing to make you different from
and more desirable than the other
applicants.

On the data sheet, besides rou-
tine data, can be mentioned, for
example, extra-curricular activ-
ities, academic honors, knowledge
of foreign languages and previous
job experience. These sheets should
be left in as many places as pos-
sible, not only for the record of
the people holding the sheet, but
for other publishers as well.

When applying for a job, try to
see the editor and people in the
departments themselves before go-
ing to the personnel office. And
know something about the com-
pany. If you are looking for a job
in publishing, know something of
the books they have published re-
cently, and perhaps have a handy
comment or criticism to insert, not
only to show that you have an in-
terest in what is being done, but
also to indicate that you have
ideas. If they do not hire you do
not be afraid to come back after a
discreet absence, perhaps of about
three months.

El hombre en la encrucijada by
Jose Ferrater Mora, Buenos Aires,
1952. Man at the Crossroad.

Tracing the development of
philosophy and of history since the
end of #he Graeco-Roman world,
Jose Ferrater Mora sees man in
every epoch condemned to face
what he calls the Universal State,
“a frightening phenomenon more
geologic than historic’. On the
premise that the history of philos-
ophy coincides with the history of
mankind and not vice versa, the
author insists that the record of
man’s situation in the hour of
crisis (or the Universal State) and
the development of philosophy
must be examined concurrently.

Using this methodological ap-
proach, Mr. Mora shows how cer-
tain moments in this acute, cru-
cial Universal State “recur in the
spirit of some men possessing suf-
ficient maturity to reflect in their
lives or in their theories a collec-
tive situation.” He analyzes the
history of ideas as reflected in the
theoretic form of resistance offer-
ed by groups of philosophers fac-
ing the crisis. The history of man-
kind is reflected in the actions,
either individual or collective, of
men in the same Universal State.
Being in this State, re-defined as
“that situation of crisis wherein a
man feels himself exiled from his
own society and searches for some-
thing to fill up the vacuum in his
own soul”, led the Cynics and
Stoics to contempt, resistance and
resignation. The Platonists sought
refuge in flight or contemplation
while the Futurists projected the
idea of the consoling Promised

Land. Throughout the subsequent
history of western philosophic
thought many metamorphoses of
theme were developed as man dis-
carded old and invented new sup-
ports for himself.

Modern man finds himself at the
same crossroad. He cannot live
successfully without an adequate
and authentic faith to sustain him
in the current of historic progress
that moves with the same force
and inevitability of an impending
geologic cataclysm. Modern man
is also condemned to action. He is
free in that he can make any de-
cision he wishes; he is limited
only in that he cannot avoid the
crisis and ignore a resolution. In
the symphony of history, Mr. Mora
discerns four absolutes emphasized
as parts of the major theme. For
modern man, God, Nature, Society
or Man himself may provide either
in part or in whole, in point or
counter-point, an adequate, au-
thentic, saving faith.

As the author has illustrated in
his parallel development of the
history of mankind and the history



of philosophy, the task of with-
standing the recurring crises of
human existence is infinite in ex-
tension and imperative in momen-
tum. In the solution to the crisis
of today is born the seed of the
new crisis tomorrow. Mr Mora
does not presume to prophecy an
outspoken Wagnerian ending to
the symphony of history. He con-
cludes on an eternal, optimistic
note in saying “There is no danger
that our task will ever be finished
or that there will be on earth a
community of saints instead of our



poor, our beloved society of men.”

S. Habashy Speaks
On Egypt's Status

The International Relations Club
began its New Year’s activities
with a meeting in the Common
Room on Thursday evening, Jan-
uary 8. Sue Habashy, a native of

Cairo and now a member of the
Class of ’54, spoke on Egypt.

After briefly sketching a picture
of her country, Sue touched upon
the primary historical epochs: the
ages of the Pharaohs, the Greeks,
Romans and Persians; the age of
Napoleon who introduced a most
successful “point four commission”
of scientists, interpreters of his-
tory, and lawyers; the age of
Mahomat Ali’s grandson, Ismail,
who borrowed money which he
could never repay and sold the
Suez Canal shares to Disraeli,
thereby creating the background
for British occupation of Egypt.

A feudal system whereby gthe
peasants, 85% of the population,
owned only 742% of the land ex-
isted through the reign of Farouk.
A Communist movement centering
in the University of Fuad began to
spread to the peasants. These
peasants were subject to disease
due to imperfections of water
purification, and many were ig-
norant. Such was the state of
Egypt when Naguib appeared and
was heralded as the savior of the
people.

Improvements

Although impossible to meta-
morphose such a situation over-
night, Naguib has accomplished
many improvements. He and his
eight army officials have deposed
Farouk, have dissolved the WAFD
(an ultra conservative political
party), have promised a vote to
women, have encouraged foreign
trade, have improved the relations
with England and America and
have applied especially to the lat-
ter for aid, have begun land re-
forms and declared that no one
may own more than three hundred
acres of land. In regard to the
latter improvement, no one seems
to know Naguib’s further plans for
redistribution of the land. Naguib
is also “cleaning up the govern-
ment officials” and increasing the
agricultural output.

Naguib and Egypt together are
faced with several critical prob-
lems. Old leaders point out that
the transition has been a fast one.
Are its foundations solid? The
Communist movement is still pow-
erful enough to threaten, even in
such a religious nation, for the
University students are willing to
sacrifice some of their religion to see
the feudal system destroyed; the
University of Fuad has always
been the center of radicalism. With
a redistribution of land there is
the danger of famine; “no one
knows whose land is whose, or who
should do what.” And most crit-
ical of all, Egypt’s sale of cotton
has dropped. Cotton is the back-
bone of the Egyptian economy; “‘it
cannot be sold”. The quantity of
Egyptian cotton is not great, but
its quality is of the finest.

Aid from U.S. and U.N.

Egypt has accepted much aid
and instruction from the United
States and from the U.N. It has
its own qualified doctors, but the
greatest obstruction to improve-
ment and modernization is ignor-
ance and superstition. It is hard
to teach the peasants modern
methods of farming; they use the
same implements that existed at
the time of the Pharaohs.

Cairo is a modern, cosmopolitan
city. During the war soldiers and
nurses of several nations came
there. It has an extensive tourist
trade, many night clubs; it has re-
ceived the combined influence of
the French and English. As with
the ultimate fate of so many coun-



tries today, only time will tell.

Students Abroad

France Resents Luxury,
Wealth, Power
Of America

Is the typical American a lazy
young man, chewing gum and
whistling jazz? Or is he a men-
acing soldier?

While I was in Tours, I began
to realize that although many
French people know America well,
either through reading or through
personal experience, a great many
more know America _ chiefly
through two sources—movies and
soldiers.

Our movies in France are the
same as our movies in America,
but here, unfortunately, they have
to be considered realistic. It’s easy
to think the English very witty,
the French very subtle, the Ital-
ians appealingly poor, just from
the few movies exported by each
country. Europe is flooded with our
own exports, most of them about
GMen and fawn-colored conver-
tibles. America looks both rich
and gangsterish.

American Soldiers

The French also know us, with-
out explanatory subtitles, through
our soldiers. Most American sol-
diers aren’t movie heroes. They
have a special quality all their
own. They are omnipresent. You
see them on trains, sitting in re-
served compartments while French-
men stand in the corridors. You
see them, shy and scared, taking
pictures of churches. You see
them, tough and bored, shouting
in restaurants. You see their camp
in the Forest of Chinon, and hear
that all the girls of Chinon have
lost their morals.

Between the movies and the sol-
diers, a kind of mass impression
emerges. In it, Americans are
rich and rough and basically rath-
er unsure of themselves, which
makes them want to appear even
richer and rougher. It’s almost a
joke, the way we reel off billions
of dollars.

But behind the billions is a dark-
er picture, the picture of Ameri-
cans preparing to make France
their battlefield once more. The
French are sick of wars. I met a
grandmother who had iived
through three—1870, 1914, 1939.
She told me how the Germans
came into her town, marching over
the cobblestones. “Ces bottes, ces
bottes ... ”, she said, in a voice
that made me shiver. I talked to
a taxidriver who told me that the
Russians would attack within two
years. He himself didn’t particu-
larly care, as long as he was left
alone. It is not surprising that
our military preparations make
the French angry, or that there
are sloppily-painted signs on walls
and roads, saying RIDGWAY GET
OUT and AMERICA GO HOME.

For the moment, luxury and
power are resented. America is too
wealthy to be liked, and too war-
like to be trusted.

of satirizing American society.
There is the American woman un-

mittee work. ‘There is the Amer-
ican tycoon who lives in a dream

tion and clear business insight to

Emily and Katherine, (played by
Denis Woodfield, John Benedict,

ical. Tim Wise’s greatest achieve-

The choreography was not as
outstanding. Although Mordecai
was a lithe and supple dancer and
had several good numbers, espec-
lally ‘tue one av cue Biue bird, the
Indian dancers were disorganized
and unpolished. In the vocal num-
bers, little attention was paid to
the interim dancing which seemed
only a filler.

The musical numbers—written
by Blaire Weille—were vast in
quantity but not exceptional in
quality. There was one outstand-
ing voice in the cast—that of
Timothy Wise—and his “Take a
Chance” and “Who Can Tell” were
highlights of the show. “Chink in
My Armor”, sung by Mordecai and

their personalities rather than
their ‘voices, Out of the nineteen
songs, only five were deemed wor-

isolated spots of excellence but the

uproarious if at times dubious en-
tertainment.

knew of only as a medium used
in the prayer book, in the Bible

and in Rabbinic law:”

Primarily an historian, Husik
tried to show the import of the
Hebraic (moral and spiritual) and
the Hellenistic (humanist and
rationalist) trends of thought as
the bases for the modern western
tradition. His main contributions
were from his study of Aristotle,
medieval Jewish philosophy, and
the philosophy of law. His most
important contribution to Greek
philosophy was on “The Categories
of Aristotle”, in which he defended
their authenticity. From his study
of Judaism, he was forced to con-
clude, although a devout Jew him-
self, that “in the modern world
Jewish Philosophy is not merely
non-existent, but impossible,” and
that “if self-respecting Jews were
to participate in modern civiliza-
tion, they had frankly to admit to
themselves and to others the limi-
tations of the Jewish philosophy.”

Nahm and Strauss, as well as
explaining Husik’s, philosophy,
tried to show its weaknesses
(mainly concerning his objectivity,
historical evolution, and the idea of
Jewish Philosophy). In the latter,
for example, Husik identifiies his
idea of Jewish Philosophy solely
with the rational and not the mys-
tical aspect.

Husik found common ground
for the Hebraic and Hellenistic tra-
ditions in the study of law. Law is

practicable, by its consideration
for human actions and institutions.
In fact its roots lie in morality and
custom. Husik sees that man has
in his nature both altruistic and
egoistic tendencies, which corre-
spond to the problem of, the ob-
jective and the subjective. These
two tendencies create a conflict in
us, though as time goes on the al-
truistic sense has become stronger.
From a study of Husik’s philoso-
phy of law, Nahm concludes that
Husik found in his philosophy of
law his answer to his ethical and
theological problems.

In assessing the. value of the

to consider its own shortcomings

whether it is taking full advantage
of the strength it has. Under pres-

(proportionately) more Ph. D.’s
than either master’s or bachelor’s
degrees, and until the post-war
period, Bryn Mawr awarded five
