E. Bishop Wins
Ist L. Donnelly
Award at BMC

Fellowship Recognizes
Distinction Of
U. S. Poet

Om March 10, an American poet,
Miss Blizabeth Bishop, of Yaddo,
Saratoga Springs, New York, was
hamed the winner of the first
Lacy Martin Donnelly Fellowship
for creative writing at Bryn Mawr
College. A grant of $2500 will be
-given for the 1951-52 college year.

‘Miss Katharine EL. McBride
President of the College and
chairman of the award committee
said that among the candidates for
the fellowship were women writers
from the United States, Great
Britain, and Canada, and that Miss
Bishop was chosen “for her dis

- tinetion as an American poet.” Un

til recently, Miss Bishop was con-
‘sultant in poetry to the Library of
Congress in Washington, D. C.
The fellowship was established
last fall in memory of Miss Don-

‘nelly, who died in 1948 after serv-

ing for many years as a member

~-of the Bryn Mawr faculty, and who
was credited with creating at Bryn |:

Mawr a hospitable atmosphere for
young writers.

Miss Bishop is the author of
North and South, a book of
poems published in 1946 which won
the Houghton Mifflin Poetry
Award and which led to her being
regarded by some critics as one
of the outstanding American poets
of her generation. A new volume
of her poems, some of which have
appeared in the New Yorker, the
Partisan Review, and the Na-
tion will be published next fall.
Miss Bishop is a native of Wor-
cester, Massachusetts, and was
graduated from Vassar College in
1934. She held a Guggenheim Fel-
lowship in poetry in 1947.



$1800 was made net profit
from the sale of tickets to Fac-
ulty Show. Approximately $200
came in from the auction of
posters and assorted objects
dart, making a total of $2000
to help pay for the Scull prop-
erty. The NEWS will print a

There will be a meeting of the
Legislature Thursday night, March

to discuss the following petition.
A vote will be taken as to whether
or not a change in this rule is
necessary. The attention of all
students is called to Article VI,

“Meetings and discussion of
the Legislature shall be open
to all members of the Asso-

Legislature only may vote”.
The petition is as follows:

“We, the undersign hereby
petition that whenever
lege grants extra time after 4
dance on campus, this additional
time should be granted to every-
one, regardless of attendance at
the dance. Although the rule, al-
lowing 8:80 permission only for
those attending the dance, was
originated to give those people
some extra time after 2:00, we
suggest that it be amended since
as it stands now the rule is often
either broken or evaded. When a
rule is constantly broken by a
large group of people it would
seem to indicate some flaw in the
rule rather than general irrespon-

H. Manning Heads

Discussion Panel

Tuesday, a town meeting on
United States Foreign Policy,
sponsored by the (World: Affairs
Council of Philadelphia, was held
at the Ardmore Junior High School
to discuss “Russian Aims and the
Chances for Peace.” (Dr. Holland
Hunter, Assistant Professor of Ec-
onomics at Haverford and Dr.
Donald Horter, Assistant Profes-
sor of Political Science at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, spoke
briefly on the subject. Mrs. Helen
Taft Manning moderated the dis-
cussion.

Dr. Hunter said that the basic
aim of Russia is to free the world
from capitalism, by spreading
Communism. The only way to do
this is by war, but Russia must
wait for the best opportunity. This
gives the United States a chance
to create favorable situations.

High Points of *T om Thumb’ Indicate
Hilarious Well-Directed Performance

by Helen Katz, °53

The last Bryn Mawr College
production of this season, Henry
Fielding’s Tom Thunib, will reach
the Goodhart boards this Friday
and Saturday. The “Tragedy of
Tragedies”, starring Suzie Kramer
as the durgen hero, and Katchie
Torrence as Huncamunca, the

ae

quote Mrs. Marshall, is to “hit
the high spots and hope for the
best”. One thing the actors have
in their favor is their delivery,—
almost every line is distinct, and
straight faces in the humorous
lines are, for the most part, main-
tained. (“Verisimilitude gives way
to reality rapidly” said Lee Har-
ing, when Trish Richardson, as

r|Queen Dollalolla, substituted gig-

gles for weeping.)

Dr. Noble Doubts
Reasonable Basis

In Religious Faith

On Wednesday, March 6, in the
Gertrude Ely room at Wyndham,
Dr. Grant Noble, Chaplain of Wil-
liams College, spoke informally on
the topic, “Can a Religious Belief
Be Intellectually Honest?” Dr.
Noble prefaced his remarks with a
change of title. He felt that what
he was really to speak about was
‘How can Religious Experience be
Put on a Reasonable Basis?”

Dr. Noble began by saying that
one cannot prove experience such
as love or beauty, or friendship in
the cause and effect way of the
scientifically-minded, and neither
can God be proved scientifically.
After we finish Sunday School ed-
ucation at the age of thirteen or
fourteen, we may still have imma-

Horton Declares

Belief Needs No
Intellectual Test

“Can a religious belief be intel-
lectually valid”, was the question
posed as the topic of discussion in
Common Room last Thursday
night at 8:30. Dr. Douglas Hor-
ton, who led the discussion, ans-
wered shortly, “No, it can’t”, and
explained his answer. “God”, he

said, “does not respond to the
senses or the brain”. The sense
that there is a “self - conscious

will”, a “person behind the uni-
verse”, comes to a man, and re-
ligion, by which a man finds a tie
to God, cannot be defended on
logical grounds. Speaking of the
difficulty of describing God, Dr.
Horton how one could describe the
sun to a blind man, and pointed
out that man expects too much of
religious experience—an experi-
ence which is fundamental, not ex-
ternally emotional.

Dismissing the question of the
existence of God, Dr. Horton went
on to explain the need for belief
in God. “A helper in time of
need”, he said, is not the. only
function of God, unless you mean
need in a “fine, large, human way”
—the “need to create and make a

most enthusiastic audiences that
has ever attended a production
here.
Kind Hearts and Martinets con-

superb senses of humor on the part
of all the participants.
The opening scene, a faculty ta

Tillyard Will Tell
Shakespeare Value

Eustace M. W. Tillyard, Master
of Jesus College, Cambridge, will
deliver the 1951 Ann _ Elizabeth
Sheble Memorial Lecture in Good-
hart Auditorium at 8:30 p. m. on
Monday, March 19. The topic of
the lecture, which will be followed
by a discussion in the Common
Room, is “What Do We Really Get
Out of Shakespeare?”

Mr. Tillyard, who has been Mas-
ter of Jesus College since 1945, has
been a lecturer in English since
1926. He was educated at College
Cantonal, Lusanne, and Perse Col-
lege, Cambridge, and was a schol-
ar at Jesus College. In addition to
his scholarly work, he served in
France in ;World War I, and was
later in the intelligence corps.

Abstract Emotion Patterns in Music

Found by Philos. Club Speaker Pratt

Specially Contributed

Music has been called the lan-
guage of emotion. Carroll C. Pratt,
head of Princeton’s psychology
department, who spoke last night
in the Common Room, sponsored
by the Philosophy Club, disagreed
with the theories usually presented
to account for the emotional impli-
cations of a work of art, though
he agreed that a relation between
art and emotion exists. His dis-
cussion was limited to music, but
he held that his arguments would
apply to the various fields of art.

A work of art cannot be said to
“embody” emotion; emotions can



exist only within individual or-



ganisms. It is sometimes accurate
to say that a work of art arouses
emotions, but such a statement is
not universally true. Moreover, if
the arousing of emotion is to he
the criterion of a work of art, then
that work will exist on a level be-
low many ordinary events. The
theory of empathy—that the indi-
vidual erroneously ascribes to a
work of art qualities which he
himself originates—is also inade-
quate . For instance, perception of
motion does not depend on the
motion of the eye. On the theory
of empathy the quality of the work
of art can rise no higher than the

Faculty Show

The applause and laughter are over. Professors have
bowed for the last time; they are no longer Roman statuary
or rambunctious Indians. Faculty Show itself has bowed out
for a time, but the good feeling, the recognition “This is our

-faculty—they are human!” will last for a long while.

: There is no question that students feel nothing but re-
spect and admiration for professors cavorting and having
much sophisticated fun on Goodhart stage. It was good to
see them last Saturday, for their obvious enjoyment and en-
‘thusiasm flowed warmly over the footlights, contributing a
contagious personal touch to a show that was beautifully
subtle, spontaneous, and screamingly funny.

It was wonderful to see professorial ability blossom into

-Jiveliness and wit, to find dexterity of word and action behind
academic dignity, to come upon twinkling eyes and light steps
where perhaps impressive intellect alone had been seen prev-

. iously.

Faculty Show brought a new kind of respect—the kind

‘ that. comes from the reminder that teachers are more aware

_of the students than is generally recognized. It is respect

that springs from the genuine pleasure and heightened es-
teem that a faculty-presented, student-appreciated effort can
produce. -

-And so the students of Bryn Mawr say sincerely to their
faculty, “Thank you.”

Students, Arise! ;

Look at the mournful unwashed countenances propped
up at the breakfast table; nobody speaks, nothing registers.
After all, it’s forty minutes before that nine o’clock class. Do
you wonder that only a few objectionably aggressive individ-
uals can dress and attend the Wednesday morning assem-
blies at a quarter before the lethal hour?

The Bryn Mawr movie, however, shown several Wednes-|
_ days ago, drew a record crowd. Visual education is a fine
' thing, and so is a brief lucid talk on an unusual topic. Most

Current Events

professor of'.Political Science from |

lege Russian program, gave the
Current Events speech on Monday
evening on the subject, “Can We
Negotiate With Russia?” He di-
vided this controversial topic into
two alternatives, short term or
long term arrangements. He felt
that any short range plans for
peace, involving necessary conces-
sions on each side, would be use-
less except as a breather since
Russia would then apply pressure
in other parts of the world and the
negotiations and concessions would
have to start again. But he thought
that permanent peace is a possi-
bility if the United States can have
enough potential power behind her
to keep the Russians scared of
starting aggression.

If the United States went to the
conference willing to make con-
cessions to Russia regarding Korea
or Formosa or the Chinese Com-
munists in the U.N., they would
have to realize that the Russians
would only approve our demands,
such as easing the pressure in
Western Germany, making an Aus-
trian peace treaty, or settling the
Trieste question, if they thought
these represented another step to-
wards the goal of world revolution
to communism. Dr. Michaels
stressed especially the firm faith
they have in their system, not only
as the only right, just way of life
for themselves, but also as the
basis of furthering mankind in the
world. Therefore they are creat-
ing areas of tension to prepare for
revolution by building up their
military power, maintaining active
propaganda machines, and man-
ipulating world affairs so as to
weaken the economic strength of
the United States. On these terms
a short range peace plan is impos-
sible.

The only’ alternative, Dr.
Michaels thinks, would be for the
U.S. to be backed strongly enough
by military and economic power to
support an “enforced peace” where
each country stayed within its own
boundaries. Otherwise he feels
there is no chance of ending the
cold war.

Gottlieb Explains
N.S.A. and Origin

Ronnie Gottlieb discussed NSA
at this morning’s Assembly, first
outlining the Association’s origin:
student representatives from Am-
erican colleges attended the World
Student Congress in Prague in
1946. They discovered that the
United States was the only country
without a national union of stu-
dents, and that students from oth-
er countries felt we -were being
aloof. After realization of the
potential benefits to be gained
from a national association of stu-
dents, NSA was established in
1947,

Ronnie emphasized the recogni-
tion of national and NSA officers
as spokesmen for American college
students, and of NSA as the only
representative student opposition
to communist student groups
abroad. The Association is bene-
ficial, and its potentialities have
not yet been completely tapped.

The question of Bryn Mawr’s
maintaining NSA membership,
which has been unanimously sup-
ported by the NSA committee and
Undergrad Council, will be intro-
duced at the April meeting of the
Legislature. This body will also
vote at the some time on the ques-
tion of reorganizing the Associa-
tion on campus and integrating
NSA with Undergrad and Alliance.
Until these questions are settled,



no head of NSA will be elected.

Open Letter to the Faculty

A couple of weeks ago you ask-
ed us to work on your show. Of
course we jumped at the chance.
And we never regretted it. We
loved working with you and none
of us have ever enjoyed a show so
much. We painted Miss Lang’s
name on the wall in Goodhart; we
wish we could have put all your
names there.

You sent us flowers the night of
the show. And you all thanked us
for our help. Now that it’s all over
we want to thank you—each one
of you—for letting us work on
Kind Hearts and Martinets.

Special thanks go to Miss Lang
who spent so much time working
with us, and making things easy
for us; also to the Nahms, who in-
vited us to their cast party and
didn’t raise an eyebrow when we
scrubbed off all the accumulated
dirt of Goodhart in their sink.

of you. /We’ve loved every minute

ten fundamental laws of life, but
he did not find them by scientific
method. “I can’t prove the beauty
of a sunset,” Dr. Noble said, “but

cause what I see is a diffusion of
dust particles through light rays,
either.”

Dr. Noble explained that he felt
we had two types of reasoning: in-
tellectual and intuitional. Certain
truths we can see, yet can scarcely
prove—the quality of people in
love, or of people who live with
God as an integral part of their
lives. There is, too, the case of peo-
ple who have renounced Christian
belief intellectually, but still live by
it. Dr. Noble told of “an agnostic
who told me he went to church be-
cause, although he didn’t believe—

or at least doubted God—he liked
to hear the minister express his
belief”,

In answer to the question, “Why
can’t. one have a moral code with-
out religious belief?” Dr. Noble
replied that the moral code in the
first place had come from a “He-
brew-Christian background. Moses
wanted a moral code to help him
live; Jesus used love as the basis
for his living”.

And if all is bad, all evil in our
universe, why should we bother to
keep moral standards at all? Yet
we do keep moral standards, the
great majority of us. If we think
why deeply enough, we may indeed
find the religion that has been ours
always. But, Dr. ‘Noble concluded,
far too many ; people wait passively
for religion, expecting it to come
to them, and without the realiza-
tion that religion is a two-way re-
lationship.

Mrs. Manning States
Teaching Needs
Cooperation

To the Editors of the College
NEWS:

Your editorial on the shortcom-
ings of the Bryn Mawr faculty as
lecturers raises a general question
which has agitated the breasts of
educational reformers for the last
forty years, caused President Mei-
klejohn to start the experimental
college at the University of /Wis-
consin, and Bennington College to
open its doors: namely, how can
American colleges more effectively
fulfill their function of spreading
some awareness of our intellectual
heritage to incoming generations
of students. I hope the editors of
the College NEWS will forgive me
for saying that I think they have
begun at the wrong end of the lad-
der by identifying good teaching
with effective lectures. To do so
is, in my mind, to lose the battle
before it has even been joined.
After sitting for twenty-five years
on committees searching for out-
side lecturers on academic subjects
whose performance could be 100%
guaranteed, I have become con-
vinced that they are as rare as
first rate actors or first rate prima
donnas. Most of us can now and
again become eloquent or witty on
a favorite topic, but to expect that
we shall all be able to repeat the
performance six or eight times a
week until we retire is a council
of perfection scarcely to be real-
ized on this planet.

Perhaps the basic fallacy in your
argument is in assuming that good
teaching is ever a one-sided affair.
The best classroom performance
will prove sterile unless the stu-
dents have some idea what they are
looking for in a college course and
are vocal in demanding it in and
out of class. The crux of the ques-
tion, as I see it, was raised two
years ago in a meeting of the
social science departments when
one of the younger members of
the faculty said, “Why are fresh-
men at Bryn Mawr so eager to ask
questions and explore avenues
which have been opened; why does
that zest disappear when they re-
turn to the campus as_ soph-
omores ?”

The answer to that question is

contribution to human life.” God
who “set eternity in the heart of

man” would not let him be content

to be a bit of mechanism, but set

in him a creative force which

makes thim strive for truth, good-
ness, and’ beauty. God, “the mov-
er towards personalization”; put a
“moral imperative upon man to be
the highest type of person his
mind can conceive.”

The obstacles to attaining this
goal, Dr. Horton continued, come
under the heading, the “principle
of restraint.” Because of this en-
emy, man becomes an easy victim
to the spirit of his times, and is
made to conform in a society jeal-
ous of all dissenters. The predic-
ament af a businessman trying to
be “generous in an ungenerous
world” was cited as an example of
man’s losing his meaning as an in-
dividual in society. ‘When this hap-
pens, the need for God in order to

find: the answer to the process of |

life becomes stronger than ever.
dn conclusion, Dr. Horton said
that the church is a place where
man’s convictions are sustained,
and where a “fragment of God’s
eternal purpose is held out to
man.” The church gives man hope,
and shows him that “life is worth’
living, even if it is very difficult.”

Ormandy Unites Phila. ||

Orchestra And

Choruses
by Betty-Jeanne Yorshis, ’52

The Philadelphia Orchestra, the
choruses of Temple University,

and the University of Pennsyl-| '

vania joined under the direction of

Eugene Ormandy to present Bee-'

thoven’s Ninth Symphony, Satur-
day evening, March 8, at the Acad-
emy of Music. Inspired by Or-
mandy’s precise and clear instruc-
tion, the combined orchestra and
chorus produced a magnificent
rendition of this great work. The
Ninth was preceded by a short
number for piano, chorus, and or-
chestra: Beethoven’s Fantasia in
C Minor, which usually accom-
panies the symphony. In the Fan-
tasia the chorus gave a sample of
what it could do, showing its
outstanding mellowness of tone
and its sharpness ‘of attack.
Maryan Filar, the pianist, a young
Polish refugee, played clearly and
well. His interpretation could have
been better, some of his crescen-
does lacking any shading whatso-
ever, but his technique was good
and he knew what impression he
wanted to convey to his audience.

After the intermission the Ninth
was presented. From the very
first the excellent tone of the
orchestra was brought out to its
fullest, the strings and the wood-
winds enchantingly rich and beau-
tiful. Under Ormandy’s direction
the orchestra performed to its
fullest capacity; the result was
fantastic, excellence. The interpre-
tation of the Ninth left nothing to
be desired: the second movement
was snappy and gay, the third
languid and romantic. If you are
one of those people who watch as
well as listen, you would have
learned a great deal from Or-
mandy. Every’ movement of his

Capacity Music Club Audience Hears

Curtis Quartet’s Expert Performance

By Frances Shirley, °53

On Sunday afternoon a string
quartet from the Curtis Institute
played to an audience that filled
the Gertrude Ely Music Room to
capacity. The members of the Bryn
Mawr (Music Club were expecting
good music, and that is what they
got. There were a few places
where the tone of the violins was
poor, and once or twice the rhythm
seemed a bit ragged, but for the
most part, nothing more could have
been asked of the four students
who turned out a performance of
near-professional quality.

Toshiya Eto and Chaim Arbeit-
man were the violinists, while
Jeanne Gillam and Jules Eskin
played the viola and violincello, re-
spectively. The first selection was



oe Haydn Quartet in D, No. 36,
iOpus 64. It was excellently bal-
,anced, no instrument overshadow-
i\ing the others, and the first and
second movements were especially
succesful, with rich tone and a
superb smoothness and grace. In
the Menuetto the rhythm was not
as firm as it might have been, and
in the Finale there were traces of
stridency, though here the time
was good, and the scale work won-
derful.

L. Perkins Elected
New AA President

by Dee Dee Gammie, ’53

It took exactly one look at Law-
rie Perkins to see how excited and
pleased she was to be the new pres-
ident of the Athletic Association.
Lawrie: scarcely had time until in-
terviewed Friday morning even to
be congratulated. Thursday at six
she tore into Pem East, back from
lab where she had been “on pins
and needles” all afternoon. She
was on her way to a_ basketball
game and had only a minute to
pick up her flowers. “The game
was with Beaver ... and we won!
Be sure to put that in. It was a
perfect ending to a perfect day.”

Lawrie is a biology major and
hopes to go into research. Chem-
istry, her allied subject, is “fun—
sort of like the Sunday crossword
puzzle.” On campus, lacrosse is
her favorite sport, while off cam-
pus she likes tennis and swimming.
Lawrie’s general interest in sports,
however, is unprejudiced.

Unhappy that people do not re-
alize all the activities for which
A. A. is responsible (someone once
thought it responsible for ‘Alcohol:
ics Anonymous!), Lawrie hopes to
create more interest in A. A,
throughout the college. She advo-
cates “exercise for everyone. That
doesn’t mean the sedentary juniors
and seniors need fear being draft-
ed into service on the hockey field,
though!” It looks as though Law-
rie’s hopes and enthusiasm for
A. A. will be infectious and few
upperclassmen will want to remain
in their “rocking chairs.”

SPORTS

The junior varsity badminton
team beat the Ursinus varsity 4-1
on Wednesday, March 7th at the
Merion Cricket Club. This time
the JVs were off on their own and
they continued their undefeated
record by only losing one match
out of five. Marilyn Muir as first
singles played excellently, winning
11-1, 11-1; she increases her
skill with every match. Pauline
Austin won her match without
much difficulty. Although Emmy
McGinnity, the third singles, lost
her games, she placed her birds
very craftily, so that her oppon-
ent was kept constantly on the
run. Both the doubles teams, Beth
Davis and Jo Bogley, and Harriet
Cooper and Suki Kuser, played
steady but nevertheless exciting
games and won their matches
in two games. There were many
long rallies for the doubles, which
provided good opportunity for
some smooth teamwork.











Bryn Mawr had the members of
the Temple swimming squad as its
guests for the swimming meet
that took place on Wednesday,
March 7. The Temple team had
a slight edge on the Bryn Mawr
team, for although the Bryn Mawr
squad has some good swimmers,
the visitors had a well rounded
team, and there was some beauti-
ful swimming during the meet.
Temple succeeded in repeating
their victory over Bryn Mawr’s

“I’m very happy and excited—
does that sound all right?” asked
Chickie Glassberg, new President

of the Alliance for Political Af-
fairs.

In spite of all the excitement,
the young lady managed to give
us a scoop. “How do I feel «about
Alliance? First and foremost,
that its purpose is to promote po-
litical interest on campus—people
can be amazingly unaware, or
rather, uninterested in what’s go-
ing on.” Chickie meanwhile was

ing that it would doom the pink
At immin-
ent risk of pneumonia, she went
on, telling us her major was Poli-

would include a job with the U.N.
or the State Department if at all
possible. Last summer was spent
in work camps in England and
Yugoslavia. “I found,’ she said
seriously, “not only that people are
people everywhere, but that

or superiority complexes on either
side.”

Class Nighters

Haverford Class Night
Has Savoir-faire
In Skits

(With vague apologies to a review
in the Haverford News)

As is perfectly usual about this
time of year, the four classes of
Haverford College, finding that
they are all likely to pass their
courses, and fearing the encroach-
ing spring, earnestly sublimate
their collective libidos into a semi-
artistic channel which comes up
as Class Night. This annual show is
a rough—and that’s a carefully
chosen adjective—a rough equiva-
lent of Bryn Mawr’s annual Fresh-
man Show, sans continuity and
chorines. Quaker jokes and de-
rogatory allusions to the beauty of
Bryn Mawrons .lent a_ certain
rhinestone illumination to the
scripts, but a few fine songs fought
their way through the furor to
emerge triumphantly within the
audience’s hearing.

A desert-island fixation of the
Victorian Variety (when desert
islands were not atomic testing-
grounds) had presumably clutched
the consciousness of both the
freshman and the senior classes.
The class of ’°54 assumed a most
casual approach to cause-effect re-
lationships and the qualities of
physical solids, and the result was
the most original and “artsy” skit
of the evening, which made past
freshman endeavors pretty pale by

comparison. Fido the Invisible
Dog, -the mournful chorusing
palm-trees, tennis-players, tour-

ists, Barfly, and Moon were capped
with sound effects and the com-
paratively non-noxious finals cho-
rusing “Sex, raw sex”. Some mem-
bers of the audience complained
that they didn’t understand all this
esoteric rot, but it was perfectly
comprehensible if one did’nt think
about it too long. Obviously it
was a satire on learning}

The sophomores got down to
earth—not to say dirt—and faced
facts, all kinds of facts, but most-
ly military in their Gone with the
Draft. The title, of course, made



only the humblest pretensions to

changes. The “Faculty Table
Song”, set to the music of “Brush
Up Your Shakespeare”, gave valu-
able pointers on faculty-student
relations; and the kick chorus pre-
sented a beautifully-executed par-
ody on all the kick choruses which
have ever appeared in class shows.

“English Literature in Trans-
mission: or Lady Be Good”, writ-
ten by Miss Leighton and Miss
Stapleton, proved an effective par-
ody of giveaway shows, Edith Sit-
well, Emily Kimbrough, the cow-
boy fad, and almost anything else
that in this.modern age is subject
to satire. Miss Gardiner as Lady
Satgood, clad in an exotic turban
and shawl, delivered a moving
reading of “Bryn Mawr Facade”,
in which were captured many of
the characteristics of the Bryn
Mawr campus and undergraduate.
Mr. Berry was a handsome Hopa-
long, Mr. Sloane an equally at-
tractive announcer, and Miss
Leighton, as Emily Wench, person-
ified all the endearing traits of the
female author-lecturer.

Between acts the wardens sang
and danced in a sprightly fashion
“The Warden’s Lament”, dressed
in various stages of pajamas,
nightgowns, and bathrobes.

“The Theory. and Practice of
Art... a tragedy in five continu-
ous acts”, exhibited Miss Lograsso
portraying Miss Lograsso with an
enormous paintbrush, Mr. Morris
as Mr. Janschka, and Mr. Jans-
chka as Mr. Morris. The scenery
and special effects for this scene
were magnificent. The scene told
the sad story of two young men
who perished in Higgins Ink and of
Miss Lograsso, who lamented, but
went on painting.

The Course in Anthropology



101: “Tribal Rites”, proved one of
the most outstanding scenes on the
program, from the standpoints of
both art and entertainment. Mr.
Adams and Miss Kilby as the Sha-
mans, inspired by King Solomon’s
Mines, danced and beat time skill-
fully and expressively in two of
the best individual performances
in the show; and the brutal Braves,
Mr. Burton, Mr. Parker, Mr. Polit-
zer, and Mr. Soper, were lively
Indians, each with a personality of
his own. Miss deLaguna, Miss
Howe, Mrs. Lattimore, and Miss
Nelidow scurried ‘around submis-
sively as Squaws, until the ultim-
ate feminine triumph.

(Before the curtain opened on
Semester II, no one imagined that
the Typical American Family,
written by Mrs. Dryden, would
come to life from an amalgamation
of Charles Addams cartoons. Mr.
Leblanc and Mrs. Berliner were
perfect as the husband and wife,
Mr. (Morris properly monstrous as
the hungry butler. One could vis-
ualize Miss Northrop as the gran-
ny “borrowing’a cup of cyanide”.
A high point of the show was the
hand-in-hand dance of Miss Fales
and Mr. Nahm as the ghoulish
girl and boy, and their song end-
ing:

“Teacher’s gone and we are glad.
We have drove her simply mad...
“Teacher’s in the loony bin.

Now our holidays begin”.

Mrs. Marshall, as the typical
Bryn Mawr student doomed for
the deep freeze, captured our char-
acteristics with an acuteness that
made us all squirm: “This paper
has to be typed to morrow morn-
ing... ”; “I guess I’ll hit the high
spots and hope for the best... "3

Manning Questions Brn Mawrons’ Wit & Woo,
Kind Martinets Pirouette Within Roman Garden.

Continued from Page 5

She 3 referred to “The greasy grinds
who con their books”, the dance
addicts who “jitter cheek to jow!”,
ead the unhappy extremes, “No
wit, all woo” and “all wit, no
woo”. The two spirits, Miss de
Laguna in the mummy case and
Mr. Adams in the birdcage, sus-
tained the pace of the skit with
their clever and highly rational re-
marks.

The Prairie Division of Com-
parative Literature consisted of
the translation of “Home on the
Range” into various languages and
accompanying national dances by
the appropriate professors. Mrs.
Nahm amalgamated the scene. Mr.
‘Watson as an engaging cowboy
with his horse Peggy (Mr. and
Mrs. Pese) first sang the original
version of the song. Then Mr. Po-
litzer in Lederhosen sang, “Da-
heim, auf der Alm” and did a live-
ly Bavarian dance. Miss Esteves

danced gracefully to the rhythm of;

castanets and longed to be “Hogar
én al campo”. Miss deGraaf as a
Cossack sang, “Kolkhoz, kolkhoz na
stepiakh”; and Mr. MacGregor in
kilts executed a beautiful High-

land Fling, after expressing a wish}

‘to be “Hame, hame on the brae”,
As a glamorous chanteuse, Miss
Bree sang, “Chez moi, chez moi
dans la prairie”, and they all unit-

ed under the direction of Miss
Lang as a Bryn Mawr Lantern
Girl.

After an eight-minute spring va-
cation, the audience watched a wel-
come repeat from the last faculty
show, “Spring in a Roman Gar-
den”, with Miss Clayton, Mrs. Lat-
timore, Mrs. Leblanc, and Mrs.
Nahm as ballerinas pirouetting
with stately Roman statues, Mr.
Alwyne, Mr. Berliner, Mr. Berry,
and Mr. Lattimore. Mrs. Marshall
as the nonchalant prima ballerina
danced with a bust of Aeschylus

- with hands that belonged to Mr.
Sloane. The whole scene seemed
to be a mixture of beauty and sub-

tle, wonderful satire, which could
have been repeated nine times
over.

One of the stars of the show was
undisputedly Mr. Dudden, who ap-
peared with Mr. Parker between
acts as the epitome of academic
fashion, and with a complete dead-
pan and doleful gaze portrayed the
mournful professor who never
could do anything right. As “The
glass of fashion and the mould of
form”, the third leg at a cocktail
party, the bored, twitching, and
itching professor. in academic garb,
Mr. Dudden was superb.

The semi-octangle, Mr. Soper,
Mr. Morris, and Mr. Leblanc, also
provided the faculty show with hil-
arious touches. Long to be remem-
bered is Mr. Leblanc pouncing on
the cymbals with clenched fists,
jumping up and down beside the
big bass viol, and as Little May
Day; Mr. Morris’ gripping emo-

or and humorous delivery.
never to be forgotten is
Broughton’s brief stroll across the
lee oeine 6 ety SnD sk

y eee on a note of hi-
larity, when eight professors, clad
in white, pranced down the aisle
and danced around the Maypole.

Special credit must be given to
the acconipanists, Jane Horner,
‘61, Mr. Alwyne, and Mr. Bern-
heimer; the students Anne Laid-
law, ‘52, and Jill McAnney, ’52,
who assisted with lighting and
make-up respectively; the other
student members of the stage grew,
Ann Blaisdell, Helen Dobbs, and
Janet Leeds; the. Ticket Sales
Committee; and all others con-
nected with the show in any ca-
pacity.

A wonderful feeling possessed
everyone in the audience Saturday
night, to see the faculty produce
such a marvelous show, to buy
balloons from Mr. Gilbert with his
big red tie, his straw hat, and tre-

hands meant something, and the
change in his style from sweeping
arm movements to barely percep-
tible motions of his forefinger was
a revealing demonstration of how
he made the Philadelphia Orches-
tra one of the foremost in the
world.

The fourth movement, in which
the choral motive begins low in
the bass violins, was stirring from
the very beginning. When the
baritone stands up and announces:
“Freunde, nicht diese Tone”, your
excitement grows intense and is
not relieved until long after the
last notes have died away. The
soloists, professionals all, varied
in musicianship. The baritone and
contralto, Mack Harrell and Nan
Merriman, were outstanding. The
tenor was too sharp and the so-
prano too weak, but together the
four voices blended in a magnifi-
‘cent way that must have been in-
tended by the composer.

Manning Says Confusion

just as much the business of the
faculty as is the problem of better
lectures or textbooks. In part it
may be that too many lectures,
too massive a presentation of facts
have whetted the apetitte for
knowledge and killed initiative.
But there are probably deeper rea-
sons for the passive attitude of
college students in the United
States which are connected with
the distractions of extra-curricu-
lar activities and a general con-
fusion about the purpose of a col-
lege education. It used to be told
of the first students of the Bryn
Mawr Summer School for Workers
in Industry that if an instructor

seiged by indignant and insistent

NSA ee
=| Negro Enrollment

oo NSA poll, taken earlier in
the year, showed that a good ma-
jority of Bryn Mawr students were
in favor of encouraging qualified
Negro students to apply. On the
basis of this result, the NSA com-
mittee is writing letters to pros-
pective freshmen, telling them
about Bryn Mawr. The National
Scholarship Service and Fund for
Negro Students has sent us a list
of Negro girls who are consider-
ing applying to Bryn Mawr. If
any student is interested in writ-
ing such a letter to one of these
gitls, please inform Jackie Lindau,
Denbigh, immediately. The re-
sults of the other questions asked
on the poll will be reported later.

Pratt maintained that there is
present in the objective pattern of
a work of art a quality which the
percipient can recognize as anal-
ogous to, or related by analogy-
ogous to, or descriptive of, an
emotional state or mood. Emotion
and the work of art are related by
analogy; musie sounds the way the
various emotions feel. Pratt said
that he believed that there are
certain patterns common to the
emotions of the individual organ-
ism and works of art in auditory
and visual fields.

H. Manning Moderates
Panel Talks on Russia

Continued from Page 1

There are very dim chances of an
easy peace. Both Russia and we
think that this is not primary.
There will be a continuous strug-
gle between American and Russia
to see who can gain the leadership
in Europe and Asia. To maintain
peace, the United States must have
“active humanism” and “iron-
nerved patience”. We should aid.
Europe and Asia economically,
raeher than emphasizing only mili-
tary expansion.

According to Dr. Horter, the
Russians want to expand to sur-
rounding lands, such as the Ruhr
and the Dardanelles. They fear
that a third world war would knock
out Russia as the past wars killed
.Germany, Italy, and France. They
covet the balance of power which
the United States controls. With
a. constructive approach, we can
make peace with Russia within the
next five years.

Mrs. Manning presented the
“historical point of view”. Com-
munism is a religion diffusing it-
self over more territory than any
religion has before. We can not
“wipe away’ Communism, but
must live with it. We can not de-
stroy Communism as we destroy-
ed facism. Communism is much
more permanent than fascism ever
was. In the future, we will have
to tolerate people who have dif-
ferent ideas than we do. Russia is
expansionist and peace within the
next five years is si improb-
able.

Student Petition Seeks
3:30 Permission For All

sibility on the part of the students.

It is hard to see any essential
difference between signing out un-
til 3:30 and not going to the dance,
and going to the dance for five
minutes thus obtaining a legal
8:30 signout. Indeed, the differ-
ence seems to be only a matter

lof having bought a ticket to the

dance. Thus this Self-Govern-
ment rule is governing financial
matters. We do not believe that
the dances would suffer from this
revision since the people who enjoy
dancing will still attend. As we
see it, the only way to prevent.
violation of this rule as it stands.
would be to close the gym doors at.
1:30 and alow no one to leave be-
fore 2:00.

On those few weekends ‘lien.
special permission is granted, we
should like to see extended permis-
sion for all, or at least some re-
vision of this rule as it is now
obviously inadequate.”

-This petition is signed by sixty-
five undergraduates.
