Creative writers who are not
experienced sometimes feel, in
spite of their best efforts, that
they are working in a vacuum
caused by their own uncertainties,
that they have no way of judging
or estimating the worth of their
own efforts. They are, therefore,
often subject to the collapse of
contidence and the discouragement
which are the natural reaction to
the first fine impetus of a creative
idea. (No person who has ever con-
ducted classes in writing can think
otherwise than that the writer
brings her own abilities and her
own gifts ‘to the task and that no
amount of instruction or admoni-
tion can be of use unless the real
impulse and desire to write are
there. But it is true that consult-

Miss Ely Relates
Her Observations
From Balkan Trip
On Thursday, March 6, in the Com-
mon Room, Miss Gertrude Ely gave
a delightful resume of her observa-
tions during her recent. trip to the
Balkans. She emphasized the in-
dustry of these people in their at-
tempts to rebuild their countries
after so much death and destruc-
tion, in spite of their lack of ma
terial suppNes. Their attitude is,
on the whole\cheerful. There. is
little sign of fear in these peoples’
speech and actions, and they want
to rebuild their countries in their
own way with as little help as
possible from the outside. Con-
cerning traveling to these coun-
tries, Yugoslavia, Greece, Turkey,
Israel, and Cyprus, Miss Ely em-
phasized the facility of traveling
and the friendliness of the people
in these countries towards her.
She suggested that young people
with an understanding of the
people’s backgrounds, who are
willing to work in their: way, are
badly needed.
She visited Yugoslavia first and
was greatly impressed by the In-
ternational Peace Conference, to
which prominent. people from
eighty countries were invited, al
though only eighteen were repre
sented at the Conference itself.
The representatives from Amer-
ica consisted largely of Pacifists

Berlin Lecture
Explains Ideas
(Of Philosopher
St. Simon Reproaches
Abstract Ideals
Of Liberty
Mi. Isaiah Berlin chose as his
topic for the fifth lecture in the
Mary Flexner series, which was
given in Goodhart Auditorium
Monday, March 10, “St. Simon and
His Disciples”. St. Simon’s most
important thesis, said Mr. Beriin,
was that human society should be
reconstructed as a large factory,
in the form of a pyramid, with the
technocratic dictatorship of scien-
tists, artists, industrialists, and
bankers.
Every member of society has his
place in this great factory, should
seek it, and stay there when he
finds it. In this way, an over-
abundance of the necessities of life
will be produced, each jperson will
be kept busy and there will be no
cause for contention among men.
According to St. Simon, liberty,
equality, and democracy are ab-
surd conceptions which only ham-
per human existence. Technical
clarity should take the place of ab-
strac. political theories.
~t. Simon, a nineteenth-century
French nobleman, was nevertheless
a great believer in the modern
doctrine of —-historical-— evolution.
The French Revolution failed, he
avered, because the people did not
understand the laws of history.

Unsung Heroines
It is very tried, but at the same time very true, that only
too often things are taken for granted. Always it is easy to
complain when the small details of college life do not run as
smoothly or as efficiently as we would like.
But often there
are organizations—perhaps institutions would be a better
word—that in the very smoothness of their operation tend
to be unnoticed and unsung.
The most important of the unsung heroines on campus
are the ladies of the College Bookshop. When swamped with
requests for books which have not yet arrived, or pestered
for pencils and blotters that cannot be found (in plain view!)
never do these ladies lose temper or mind, and when besieged
with important requests, never are they curt or short in re-
turn. Their memories are unbelievable, for they know better
than the students enrolled therein, what are the proper books
for all courses taken. And so
in these acrimonious times of
approaching papers and mid-semesters, to the College Book-
shop, a grateful thank you.
The candidates for the office
of vice-president of the Alliance
are Ronnie Gottlieb, Patsy
Price, Molly Plunkett, Jane Cas-
tor, and Barbara Goldman.
The ballot for the Chairman
of the Chapel Committee is as
follows: Starr Oliver, Karen
Holland, Margaret McCabe, and
Bohuslawa Zabko-Potapowicz.

vanquished by Haverford prowess,
his role as villain was nevertheless
a fruitful one. “Determination,
boys .. . Roar, Tiger, Roar.”
Sociologically ‘speaking, ’'54’s
production could have used a little
more class. On the whole, it
seemed to lack the polished pac-
ing that characterized the other
opi. Nevertheless, the Haverford
song was well delivered, and the
adroit ditty, “An Extraverted
Friend” added finesse and sparkle
to an other wise relatively drab
production. Sex alone, however
funny, cannot support a show, and
the Sophomore tragi-comedy con-
sequently showed a certain lack of
wit and imagination, which were
in evidence in the other skits.
But all were lusty, trusty, not
at all fusty, and fun to see. In
toto, as Dr. Post would agree, An-
assa kata for Haverford.

From England there were many
Pacifists and Colonials
Miss Ely noted the genteel way in
which the conference was conduct-
ed, that they are planning to have
another meeting soon, and that
resolutions were passed after the
fourth day. When she compli-
mented them on such things as
their good acoustics, (as opposed
to Bryn Mawr), being rather
amazed at what they had been
present.
able to do despite hardships, she
was asked, “Well, Miss Ely, per-
haps you don’t think we can read
and write?”
One of the first things that she
asked the Yugoslavians to show
her were the Greek children who
had been taken to Yugoslavia dur-
ing the war. Only a few hundred
of the thousands taken have been
returned, and the way that they
were taken (or found) is not clear
at all. She was shown the chil-
dren, many of whom have been
there for at least six years and
are now men and women, She
found them healthy and happy,
living in comfortable quarters.
(Yugoslavia has done more than
any other country to help the
children. Many of them,
whether through Communist in-
fluence or not, do not want to re-
turn to Greece although their
parents have written for them.
They performed some Greek folk
dances for Miss Ely, which, the
Yugoslavians said, showed that
they were not trying to make
these children forget their home-
land.
When she went to the museum
she was reminded of the different
sense of values between our coun-
try and theirs, of the different at-
titudes that have resulted from
their tragic experiences during the
war. She was exclaiming loudly,
“What a pity, what a pity,” at the
lack of two fingers on a marble
statue. When her companion
found out why she was exclaiming,
he began to laugh and remarked,
“To think of wasting that much
emotion over two marble fingers!”
In Greece, the Coalition Govern-
ment is working well now but they
are expecting it to break at any
time. The leaders wonder if the
people will be willing to go along
with them on their little income.
Here too, in spite of lack of money
and supplies the people are work-
ing hard and want to rebuild their
country themselves and in their
own way. Miss Ely spoke of the
many Bryn Mawrters at _ the
American School of Classical
Studies in Athens and of the ex-
tensive work done by the school
on the Agora (the ancient market
place) since she was last there.
She mentioned an amusing in-
cident with the Queen, who has
lately been accused of going from
democracy to aristocracy in her
attitude. She was invited to go
with her to a game played by
some young boys. They were all
supposed to bow and kiss the
Queen’s hand. However, they were
much more interested in the game,
and despite the fact that the
Queen extended her hand quite
far, it was often barely kissed, if
at all, her hand was thrown down,
bowing was forgotten, and a gen-
erally democratic atmosphere pre-
vailed.
Miss Ely, speaking of Turkey,
reported that it is more stable
than the other countries, that it is
friendly towards us, and _ that
many people have escaped from
Bulgaria to Turkey. In Israel
there is also much hard work go-
ing on, and everything is new.
There are huge boulders to be re-
moved in order to get to the good
soil, and these stones are being
used to make very solid-looking
buildi::gs. There is some worry

selves pioneers.
Miss Ely had some quite interest-
ing experiences with the British in
Cyprus. The people insist they are
educated and need no help from
the British. The British deny it.
An example of their primitive
ways was the sight of a field be-
ing plowed by oxen, and a don-
key following along behind, har-
rowing by shaking its tail to
which were attached some sticks.
The British say that they show
them more modern ways but that
the people go back to their old
methods.

SPORTS
by Emmy Cadwalader, 53
The first and second basketball
varsities played two very exciting
matches against Beaver last Wed-
nesday. The score all through the
varsity game was nip and tuck un-
til the fourth quarter, when Bea-
ver suddenly gained the lead and
kept it to win 46-28.
The Bryn Mawr team played
good basketball, but the Beaver
players exhibited beautiful ball
handling, which finally carried
them to victory. The J. V. chang-
ed the picture somewhat by beat-
ing Beaver 30-24, after a close
match, in which Beaver had often
had the top edge. Both guard and
forward combinations clicked from
the beginning, and displayed ex-
cellent teamwork. The teams were
as follows:

On Saturday, March 8, the first

peted in the Tri-College Meet held
in the Bryn Mawr gym. The other
two colleges entered were Barnard
and Elmira. After many exciting
bouts the final outcome of the var-
sity matches was Elmira first,
with 12 bouts won, Barnard sec-
ond, 8 won, and Bryn Mawr third,
with 7 won. The results of the
J. V. matches were much more fa-

Individuals Express
Philosophies of Life
For ‘This | Believe’
“The human spirit is an elusive
thing. It rarely shows itself in
public for what it really is.” Re-
cently, however, in a series of
short broadcasts called “This I
Believe”, Edward R. Murrow has
asked various people for a state-
ment of their personal philoso-
phies. Among the latter were
three Bryn Mawr girls — Susan
Savage, ’51, Anne Eristoff, ’54,
and Anne Phipps, ’54.
Kepresenting the “college
crowd”, Anne Eristoff and Anne
Phipps expressed their sense of
growth and maturing of belief. As
Anne Phipps said, “I believe my
beliefs are changing. Nothing is
Both girls were busy
overhauling all the concepts of
beauty, truth, and God that they
had peen taught as they grew up.|,
Beauty in nature and art called
forth a “formless faith’, “a meas-
ure ot hope and confidence in a
, brighter future”.
Chorus and Actresses Anonymous, |
Both girls spoke of their con-
cept ot God; to Anne Eristoff, 4
belief in a “greater-than-human
force within the Universe” is part
of her personal creed, but it is
subordinate to “making the most
of my own existence on this
earth”, Anne Phipps, on the other
hand, is more engrossed with the
question of an inner faith. As
she said, “I am groping towards
an inner spiritual consciousness
that will be able to go out from
me: I am lost in the middle
ground; I am learning.”
Susan Savage, class of ’51, who
is now teaching history at New
York City’s Chapin School, ex-
pressed her personal creed in the
following words:
“If someone had asked me a
year ago what I believed in, 1
could not have answered, partly
because I had done very little
serious thinking to find out what
I did believe, partly because I was
going through about the hardest
experience I ever had to face. It
is just over a year ago that my
mother died very suddenly. It is
hard now to talk about this dis-
passionately, but I have learned
one thing over the course of the
past year—that, for me, belief in
anything, a really lasting one, can
come only as a result of adversity
which will either strengthen or
weaken what I think I believe.
“T believe first of all in the in-
nate strength of human character,
If someone had told me that my
mother was going to die very
soon, I would not have thought it
possible to go on without her. I
like to think that we were a very
close mother-daughter combina-
tion, enjoying each other’s com-
panionship; I always felt that I
could tell jher.. everything, and
knew that she would respect my
confidences. Somehow, I have been
able to go on without her; some-
where within me and certainly
within the other members of my
family has come a strength and
a courage which we never knew
we had until we were forced to
make use of it . I do not mean to
sound as though we just pulled
ourselves together and went on)

and unbelievable loneliness, but
never have I felt that I just want-
ed to quit. There was always
something that would not let me.
“Probably as a result of this ex-
perience, I have begun to develop
—to use the words of the ancient
poet, Horace, — a “carpe diem”
philosophy. I do not believe that
our lives are planned out for us
and we follow a given course
blindly. I do believe that we can-
not know what will happen next,
and so we should make the most
of what we have, taking our hap-

On March sixth at the Art Al-
liance, an exhibition of modern
French religious art, sponsored by
the French government and Litur-
gical Art Society, opened. The ex-
hibition, in Philadelphia until
March 23, shows the application
of modern methods of painting
and architecture to the traditional
ecclesiastical symbols. The Rev-
erend John LaFarge, a prominent
Catholic editor and writer, spoke
on the liberation of existing re-
ligious symbols for modern crea-
tive artists. He felt that since
religion is universal, the ex-
pressions of it in art do not have
to be limited by a traditional style.
The modern artist can share in
the community of the meaning of
symbols and in a sense of the dia-
logue between God and man.
The exhibition is comprehensive
in its inclusion of painting, archi-
tecture, and the minor arts. There
is an over-all sense of applying
modern artistic standards to the
interpretation of religious sym-
bols. The most widely-known
artist of this renaissance in
French art is Genges Rouault, He
is well represented in this exhi-
bition, with his most outstanding
work being the tragic Hély Lace
design in Aubusson tapestry. Marc
Chagall has combined his own per-
sonal symbolism with the tradi-
tional in his Blue Crucifixion. The
most emotional piece is the Angel
of the Apocalypse by Roger Bissi-
ere. It is executed in the manner
of a patchwork quilt, and the lines
of the composition have a tremen-
dous sense of movement.

Interclass Teams
Need Participants
by Emmy Cadwalader, ’53
Now with the end of winter
sports approaching, and people
already signing up for spring ac-
tivities, the time has once again
arrived for Interclass games. All
those interested in playing on
class teams should keep an eye not
only on their class bulletin boards,
but on the A.A. bulletin board in
Taylor Hall. This year it is hoped
that the class games will be a
great success. The aim of the in-
terclass meets is not only to en-
courage class spirit and unity, but
also non-varsity sports. It gives
people a chance to play who don’t
have time for a varsity or who
have not made one. For these rea-
sons the class games should be 9
very important part of college
athletics and provide fun and good
games for all who have anything
to do with them, either managing
or playing.
The class managers this year
are as follows:

Sophomore—Liz Simpson

the human needs of their particu-
lar age, which are not necessarily
the requirements of any other age.
The evolution of man should be
understood in order to percéive
what the needs of one’s own age
are, and these needs should then be
fulfilled. Society is in a continuai
transformation. To St. Simon this
idea of evolution was the most ef-
ficient way of putting heterogene-
ous beings into a system. Since
human existence is always in a
flux, no basis of life is valid um-
less it evolves in response to hu-
man needs. For example, Luther
was an “arch-villain” to St. Simon
since he “tied religion to a book”,
the Bible.
To St. Simon, the human ideal
is the “richest, broadest develop-
ment of human faculties in all di-
rections.” Happiness is found in
this full development and cease-
less creation in man of his intel-
lectual, imaginative, and emotional
powers. This can be done only
with efficient organization of soci-
ety with the experts of a partic-
ular age as the leaders and each
person in the job he likes. No one
is useless, if he is placed in a pro-
ductive capacity and not allowed
to become a parasite. A society of
endless productivity, with scien-
tific experts, industrialists, and
bankers as the leaders will lead
men to the ends they really want,
food, shelter, and culture, not to
rights such as liberty and equal-
ity which they really can not use
and do not need. All organization
of society should go for these pro-
ductive ends.
classes generally should be aligned
as follows: the business class of
engineers, poets and painters on
the bottom, the critical body of ex-
aminers (physicists, biologists,
and chemists) next, and the or-
ganizers (bankers, and manag-
ers) on top. ‘With this plan, un-
limited plenty will be produced,
and it will be distributed correct-
ly: The ideal is a vast industrial
empire in which politics are of no
necessity: an efficient enterprise
which works to capacity. _
Toward the end of his life, con-
tinued Mr Berlin, St. Simon saw
that he could not preach just this
economic and social doctrine. Con-|
sequently, he developed the idea
of “Fraternity”. The essence of
this doctrine was to instruct the
Curriculum Committee,
masses by teaching them a differ-

HALL PRESI-
ent, simpler doctrine from that of
the upper classes. In this way the
masses could understand and abide
by the moralities of the higher
classes. Through the notion of a
personal God, the great scientific
principles on which society is bas-
ed can be brought within the un-
derstanding of the populace. St.
Simon did become more religious
later in life, said Mr. Berlin, and
his atheist followers thought that
he was beginning to believe his
own philosophy of a personal God,
which he had only postulated as
useful.
To St. Simon, there were no
vices, but only maladjustment. If
people will find their appropriate
places in the great “workshop” of
life, and if they do not try to leave
them once they are there, all will
be in complete order and each per-
son will feel self-realized. This
tight totalitarian doctrine allowed
no room for freedom to “make
blunders”. The evolution of man
must always be toward perfection.
Said St. Simon, the Golden Age is
before us with a vast internation-
al workshop in which everyone is
ideally adapted to his job. These
ideas, Mr. Berlin stated, were ex-
tremely far-sighted and “have
something to do with the twenti-
eth-century ideas”.

the Intercollegiate Ping Pong
Tournament. Sign up by Fri-
day, March 14, if you want to

altogether, incorporating 67.6% of
the college. The vote was held
so that the Bryn Mawr delegation
to the Southeastern Regional Con-
ference of the Intercollegiate Con-
fereace on Government, which will
meet this Saturday, March 15,
here at Bryn Mawr, will know the
attitude of the student body con-
cerning the presidential candi-
dates. The conference will include
a mock political convention with
the purpose of writing a platform
and of electing a candidate for
president. :
The agenda begins with registra-
tion in Goodhart auditorium at
8:30 a. m. and continues with
morning sessions in Taylor. Lunch
will be served-at 12:00 at the Col-
lege Inn.
The highlights of the day’s activ-
ities will be the committee reports
at 1:30 p. m. in Goodhart auditor-
ium and the Presidential Poll at
4:30 p.m. All students are invit-
ed to attend any of the events
scheduled—except lunch.
Jane Caster, president of the
1.C.G. and chairman of the ¢con-
ference, suggests that the commit-
tee reports and the presidential
poll will be the most interesting.

discovered Louise deep in celebra-
tion at a birthday party.
Tall, blonde Louise, quietly ex-
cited with nappiness and just a
tiny bit flustered, was dragged out
to the comparative privacy of the
corridor, and, between bites of
birthday cake, she gave her state-
ment to the press. “Well”, she
laughed, “Alice Mitchell said they
never expect you to say anything
clever or important at a time like
this—and I certainly. hope she was
right!” ‘
At this point she was perempt-
orily summoned back to the party
by ther friends, whose claims on
Louise’s company were all too val-
id since the busy girl was due at
Chorus in fifteen minutes. So she
whirled off, leaving a confused im-
”
pression of post-election emotions.

Spur To Creative Work

surmount that sense of uncertain-
ty with which every beginner sets
out.
No one saw that more clearly
than Katharine Fullerton, later to
be Mrs. Gerould, who, as a young
instructor, gave impetus to creat-
ive writing at Bryn Mawr. She
had published nothing of her own
at that time, although she was to
go forward to a distinguished ca-
veer later. But she and her class-
es together explored the possibili-
ties of teacher and student rela-
tion in the matter of writing in-
struction. All of those who work-
ed under her came away with a
surer knowledge of what they were
trying to do, with a capacity for
constructive and not devastating
self-criticism and with that stim-
ulus and encouragement which all
beginners so greatly need.
But it is not only in gratitude
for her justly appreciated services
that her students and friends have
established the Katharine Fuller-
ton Gerould prize in her memory.
It is also in the attempt to give
permanently to Bryn Mawr some-
thing of what her courses gave,
that interest and spur to creative
effort which she knew so well how
to offer. It is difficult now to im-
agine that Marianne Moore or
Theresa Helburn, for instance,
needed such steadying encourage-
ment, but they did as all other
beginners do.
The college courses in writing
afford the very valuable opportuni-
ties for experiment and experi-
ence, for self-exploration and self-
discipline. A prize for creative
writing can add one more factor,
that chance for a _ person to
write at her own time and
in the field of her freest
choice, the chance to gauge, men-
tally, the worth of her work in
the eyes of non-academic critics.
It offers the stimulus of competi-
tion and of writing for a desired
and definite purpose. No one who
is interested in writing should hes-
itate to offer an entry for the
prize, since no one, especially not
herself, can predict at what level
her best work can rise. It is the
hope of the Committee for the
Gerould Prize that there will be
many entries; it is their certain
knowledge that they will afford in-
teresting and absorbing reading to
those who are to compare and con-
sider them.
