field.

Eleanor~L. Dulles, Diplomat Ec-
onomist of the State Department,
will discuss Germany and Austria.
An A.B. and M.A. from Bryn
Mawr College, 1917, and 1920, and
Ph. D. from Radcliffe, Miss Dulles
taught Labor Organization and
Management at Bryn Mawr in
1928-30, and 1982-34. She served
on the Old Age Pension Commit-
tee of the Massachusetts State
Legislature, and was a member of
the Social Security Committee in
1936. ‘She is the author of many
books on economics and was a
member of the President’s Com-
mittee on Employment in London,
1931. She is an economic, political,
and statistical assistant on the fin-
ancial and economic aspects of So-
cial Security measures.

Helen Hill Miller, who will be
the moderator at the Round Table
discussion on Sunday afternoon, is
a Washington correspondent for
Newsweek. (Miss Miller received
her B. A. from Bryn Mawr in 1920,
and Ph.D. from Chicago in 1921.
‘She was an agricultural writer for
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture from 1934 to 1940, and execu-
tive director of the National Pol-
icy Committee in 1940.

Grazia Avitabile, professor of
Italian and French at ‘Wheaton
College, will speak on Learning
under Italian Skies. Miss Avita-
bile, brought up in Rome, receiv-
ed her A.B. and M.A. at Smith
and her Ph.D. at Bryn Mawr in
1942. She was with the Office of
Strategic Services in Rome in
1944-45. She taught one year at
Mt. Holyoke and one year at Mid-
dlebury.

Jane Bell Yeatman Savage,
President of the Alumnae Associ-
ation, 1951-54, will open the Week-
end. Active in community affairs,
she was Director of the Garden
Clubs of America from 1947 to
1950, served on the Board of Man-
agers of the Bathseda School for
Girls from 1941 to 1949, and be-
came alumnae president in 149.
She also served on the Budgér
Committee of the Philadelphia
Community Chest’ in 1950.. Her
Bryn Mawr activities include Re-
gional Chairman of the B.M. Col-
lege Fund in 1946, and Chairman
of: the Deanery Executive Com-
mittee, 1950-51.

‘The Potboilers’”’ and ‘Second Shepherd’s Play”
Sustain High Quality of Freshman Productions

Corydon and Thyrsis with finish.
They were able to adapt their very
pleasing voices to the expression
of a growing distrust and greed
punctuated by vague recollections
of former love and happiness. The
scene, 'which ends in murder, is
difficult to play with tact: it must
be sufficiently felt to be convine-
ing, but must stay within the
light framework of Aria da Capo.
Anne Mazick as Cothurnus had the
right tone of fatefulness. Aria da
Capo, like Rock’s play, was a very
suitable choice for the circum-
stances. The costumes and the set
with its backdrop of black dia-
monds, were as effective in creat-
ing the strange atmosphere of this
play as the light voices of the act-
ors.

With The Potboilers, East House
kept the audience almost perpetu-
ally in stitches. Jackie O’Neil did
an energetic job as the conceited
and dogmatic playwright; Kathy
Horween, as the young playwright,
was wide-eyed and deeply im-
pressed. The other actors in The
Potboilers portrayed players of
stock parts employed in the suc-
cessful playwright’s unfinished
play. The East House actors dis-
played considerable skill in their
double roles. Paula Donnelly as
Mr. Inkwell was always waxy and
dapper: in the play he was villain-
ous, and out of it, harassed. Miss
Ivory (Jane McCullough) was na-
sally plaintive. In the play she
was the figure of offended virtue;
out of it, she could take care of
herself. Joan Wolfe, as Mrs. Pen-
cil, whose “Yes, I am_ beck”

‘brought down the house, was al-

ways sultry; her origin was White
Russia or the East Side, as the oc-
casion demanded. Mary Kellogg
and Marcia Joseph were excellent
as the uniformly dignified Mr.
Ruler and Mr. Ivory.

The production of the Second
Shepherd’s Play by Rhoads was
the most serious undertaking of
the evening, and in many ways the
most satisfying. To interpret this
14th century miracle play the act-
or must ré-enter.a world where men



of Amsterdam, Miss Mellink. re-
ceived her Ph.D. at the Univer-
sity of Utrecht in 1943. In 1945-
46, ‘she was the, Assistant of
Archaeology at the U. of Amster-
dam, served as Assistant to. the
American Excavation Expedition



were closer to earth and closer to
religion than they are now. The
Rhoads actors, by an almost com-
plete mastery of the difficult lan-
guage of the play, and by the sim-
plicity with which they acted, were
able to make clear what this world
was, though they did not entirely
succeed in recreating it. Jane Mil-
ler, Adrienne Schreiber, and Anite
Robinson, as the shepherds, did
not fit quite themselves into the
life of those people who slept in
the cold and the wet; and whose
religious imagination could trans-
form a nativity scene into a vision.
Their performance, and those of
Nancy Tepper, the Angel, and
Judy Haywood, Mary, commanded
the respect, but not the feeling of
the audience.

The actors were most successful
in the comedy of the sheep in the
cradle. Chris Fischer as the good
wife played with great gusto and
good humor. Mak declared himself
the father of the stolen sheep with
a fine, shameless pride. The light-
ing and staging of the Play was
excellent. Each change of light-
ing made a change of scene; the
players almost never left the stage,
so that there were no long Pauses.

The Rhoads actors deserve the
highest praise for their choice of
play, for the effort they expended
on it, and for the clarity and un-
derstanding with. which they in-
terpreted it.

hardly be valid. The choice of a
Freshman play should only be la-
belled poor when it is beyond the
scope of the actors, and Joe was
patently not so in this case.

If, on the other hand, the judges
made no objection to the play per
se it would appear that the fault
lay in the fact that the perform-
ance was on Friday and not Satur-
day night. In this case, the prac-
tically universal campus belief in
the-better chances of a Saturday
night show is unfortunately cor-
roborated, and some new system of
awarding the plaque should be

evolved. I suggest that the judges

choose the best play of each night
and choose between them, seeing
them both again side by side if
necessary.

Sincerely,

Maggie Glenn, ’53



Dr. Farrington Daniels Postulates Direct Use
Of Solar Energy in Opening Crenshaw Lecture

Continued from Page 1

This energy is released only when
the uranium is in a specified quan-
tity or “critical mass” and a
mechanism was evolved whereby
such a mass was held constant in
a package surrounded by a reflect-
or and a moderator.

By means of a controlling rod,
the combination of the two parts
and the consequent release of en-
ergy can be controlled by man—
furthermore it can be harnessed by
man in small quantities to supply
power to his machines. Not only
is this possible now, but it is also
practical; for, although uranium
costs $20 a pound, the amount of
energy obtained from such ‘small
quantities is much greater than
that obtained from the relatively
cheaper fuels such as coal and oil.
Furthermore, uranium is not as
Scarce as it would appear to be, as
there are several sources which
have not yet been tapped, and al-
though not exhaustible, these
sources will last for a considerable



UN Has Prevented War,
Now Diminishing Fear
Continued from Page 3

“wonderfully well in a distracted
world” and this is due mainly to
the growth in maturity of the
American people, Mr. Kohn cited
the Marshall Plan (the first time
in history that any nation has
deliberately planned to spend bil-
lions over a period of years to
create better conditions abroad)
and the North Atlantic Treaty
as examples of American advance
toward outgrowing nationalism.

Reminding us that he does not
think the U.N. perfect in any
way, Mr. Kohn pointed out the
danger that the U.N. be consider-
ed an American instrument in her
fight against communism. The
U.N. should and must be a meet-
ing ground of different civiliza-
tions and ideals. He feels that
communist China along with
Franco Spain should have a
place in the U.N. The other
danger we face is that of a fear-
dominated world. The U.N. must
work toward a “slow. diminution
of fear’. Finally Mr. Kohn re-
affirmed the principles on which
the U.N. was started six years
ago—and pleaded that we proceed
against aggression with a_ policy
which is firm. but “full of re-



straint and ethical wisdom.” |

length of time.

Dr. Daniels then mentioned sev-
eral other sources of energy which
mankind has discovered and used,
sources such as wind power and
water power, the greatest and
most limitless source being that of
the sun, which, Dr. Daniels stated,
is the source which mankind will
eventually have to fall back on. At
(present, man is using only a min-
imum of the available solar energy,
—in the use of the fossil fuels,
coal, oil, gas, etc., deposited from
the sun—and _ scientists have
shown in several experiments that
the light and heat energy of the
sun can be harnessed on earth di-
rectly and used to run machines
on the principle that energy can be
produced by means of a drop in
temperature, according to the for-
mula: T2/T1/T2. As early as 1882,
a sun disc was constructed in Paris,
which was capable, by means of fo-
cused lignt, of running a printing
press; in 1926 in Florida, scientists
were able to run a 1-5 horsepower
power mower by means of reflect-
ed light. Dr. Daniels suggested
the possibility that solar energy
could be used to expand and con-
dense gas which would, in turn,
set a piston in motion. Also, he
demonstrated that the energy
could be used in a chemical con-
centration cell to run a battery.

However successful these exper-
iments might have been, none of
them proved practical, due to the
expense of the large amounts of
materials needed. Nevertheless,
Dr. Daniels explained that practi-
cal usage of the sun’s energy had
been: developed in the heating of
houses. In a Dover, Massachu-
setts, experiment, a house was
constructed which was kept com-
fortably warm by the sun’s energy
—the sun entering through large
windows in the roof and its heat
was stored in the sodium sulphate
underneath the roof until needed
to warm the house.

The ultimate source of man’s en-
ergy is photosynthesis, the pro-
cess of metabolism of energy foods
in plants; this process has been
the subject of several experiments,
and will be the topic of next Mon.
day’s lecture.
