Fieser Discusses
Antimalarial Drug

Park, November 15. “Our prob-
lem.is to synthesize an antimalar-
ial drug which is not entirely meta-
bolized: by the body into inactive
products, has complete curative
value, and produces no toxic reac-
tion,” explained Dr, Louis F.
Fieser, professor of organic chem-
istry at Harvard University, in a
lecture entitled “Naphthoquinine
Antimalarial Drugs.”

At Bryn Mawr several years
ago Dr. Fieser first synthesized
hydrolapochol, a naphthoquinine,
which has been found to produce a
95% decrease in? malarial para-
sitization when ‘used in hifh com
centrations. Many chemists, in-
cluding Mr. Berliner of Bryn Mawr,
have been testing lapochols of
different molecular structures and
~ have discovered that the naphtho-
quinone with nine carbon atoms in
the ‘side chain of the molecule is
the most potent.

‘Research is going on-at-~ Bryn
Mawr and in other laboratories to
synthesize antimalarial drugs of
the benzene type, since these are
comparatively inactive and, there-
fore; difficultly metabolized. The
-“paradoxyl” group has already
been: discovered and found to be
twenty-five times as potent as
quinine as well as non-toxic.

life. The very fact that a member
of the Church should condone his
weakness by offering the solution
that he forget Nonnie but make
provisions for his child, rather
sanctions this illicit relationship
than prohibits it. The aftermath of
the play is depression and accept-
ance rather instead of a stimula-
tion to action on a.vital problem.

Instrumentally the play is good
because it helps to keep the racial
question before the public eye, but
actually it does little more than
appear as Strange Fruit on a rot-
ten tree of racial prejudice.

Considering the difficulties that
were encountered in the staging
of a story of this type, Mr. Ferror
does an excellent job in, treating
the plot with delicacy.

Amaral Explains
Symbolist Poetry
Of Pablo Neruda

Spanish. House, Nov. 27, Senor
Amaral, described Pablo Neruda,
the T. S. Eliot of South America,
‘as a symbolist with. spiritual .fore-
sight, in discussing’ two of his
books, Residencia en la Tierra and
Veinte Poemes de Amor ’y Una
Cancion Desesperada.



Neruda writes of his youthful
love turned inward, and. his poetry
is a formal objectivication of sen-
timent. Love is the most real thing
in life and poetry, said Amaral,
.or it gives a sense of human
solidarity.

There is a psychological quality
in Neruda, both as an actor and as
a spectator, which is spontaneous,
fatal, and indicative of maturity.

Senor Amaral compared Neruda
to James Joyce, pointing out that
both use the accidental, grotesque,
and absurd part of dream and fan-
vasy as the basis of artistic crea-
vion. They are seldom logical or
casual, but are unmotivated, irra-
vecause they are the product of the
ional, and spontaneous. This _ is
same.artistic age, that of the first
World War.

Appeals For Books

Elementary grammar or _lan-
lt books specifically designed
or American students are not ac-
ceptable. However, worthwhile
books in any.language, current
novels, poetry or biographies with
permanent value -are in great de-
mand. Good law books not dealing
with .local technicalities would be
especially valuable.

Those students interested in the
project should see any of the fol-
lowing: Miss Schenk, Faculty

Criticism Of Report
Condemned By Demos

Continued From Page 2

And his book made quite a stir
just the same, Perhaps the Report,
took ideas
that were lying around in every-
body’s mind, unorganized and in-
articulate, and gave.them a tren-
chant, well-organized systematic
expression. Isn’t that an important
contribution? But that is just the
point, you will say; the Report is
not well-organized. Leaving that
aside for a moment, I want to add
that I am aggrieved by your ref-
erence to the members of the Com-
mittee as mountains; the average
weight was 147 3/5 pounds. (Be-
-ween . ourselves, however, our
chairman was somewhat heavier.)
(b) Lcome now to the accusation
that the Report lacks structural
anity. As I am a_ professional
philosopher who thinks he teaches
students how to*think clearly, the
accusation of nebulousness really
hurts. My answer is very dogmatic;
it isn’t so. Let me explain: the Re-
port, -on--the.philosophical _ side,
says that education should impart
the twin values of heritage and
change, tradition and innovation.
Then it goes on to implement these
ideas step by step, first in the
high schools and second in the col-
leges: heritage in the proposed
new generat courses, change as
revealed in the specialized studies.
I submit the structure is as well-

knit as that of French lace.

The war between students and
teachers, between youth and age,
is most healthy and natural; and
I hope when all other wars are
abolished by international and in-
terplanetary and intercosmic or-
ganizations, this war will be per-
mitted to go on unhampered. I am
glad that the class of 1947 attacks
so vigorously, and } hope that the
1907

fight back with equal vigor. .

Nat'l Hockey Meet
To Be Held at B. M.



, Continued from page 1

Before the war, the tournament de-
the official national

hockey*team, whose members were
picked from “sectional teams”,
from various regions of the United
States. (Chosen players of a cer-
tain region composed the “section-
al teams”, Thus the national team
was fairly representative of the
best hockey players in the country.
In the hiatus of the war years, it
was supposed that the Invitation
Tournaments would resume their
activity and their official standing
in the first peace season. Ht lack
of time for preparation,gand travel
difficulties prohibit the transpor-
tation of team. members from all
parts of the country this year. The
tournament held on campus next
weekend will therefore not, select
a national team, but will permit
city teams already organized to
compete in whole groups. After
the tourfiament, the United States
Field Hockey Association will hold
a meeting in the gym, following a
buffet supper.
