Brice Displays
Clever Artistry,
Tonal Variety

By Helen Anderton, '49

One had only to see Carol Brice
walk on to the stage to realize
*. that here was no ordinary artist.
Perhaps it was her assurance and
poise that conveyed this impres-
-sion, or perhaps it was the quiet
dignity with which she stood by
the piano ‘waiting for the accom-
paniment to begin. Even before
she had sung a note her contact
with the audience was established;
at first a feeling of suspense be-
fore she began, and then a settling
back, with the realization that the
artist had you in the palm of her
hand,

The listener. found himself not
only looking forward to each new
group of songs, but to each song
within the groups as well. This
came as a result, not only of Miss
Brice’s interpretation, but also be-
cause she built her program witb
great.subtlety, playing up contrast
as the dominant factor. A singer
must devote much time in learn-
ing to build a program. It is a
very difficult task, since it involves
not only personal reaction but au-
» dience reaction as well.

The first group of selections
consisted of two songs, the Can-
tata Schlage doch, gewunschte
’ Stunde by Bach, and Handel’s Fur-
ibondo Spiro il Vento. Here was
the decorated. music of the Ba-
roque period, contrapuntally com+
plicated and difficult to deliver.
Yet Miss Brice made them appear
deceptively simple. Perhaps this
was because she seemed to sing
them so effortlessly. The dynam-
ics and florid quality of the Han-
del song must have been difficult
to master, and presented a fitting
contrast to the more pensive Bach
selection.
revealed a rich tone, and the na-
ture of the piece was such that it
enabled her to get her voice for-
ward in preparation for the diffi-
cult Handel song which followed.

In contrast to the complex and
contrapuntal music of Bach and
Handel, Miss Brice presented nex!
four songs by Schubert. Here was
an abrupt change. This was ro-
mantic music filled with melody,
naive though it may pe. She
adopted the mood of each song,
and in so doing transported the
audience with her. At the same
time she completely captured the
simplicity which is so intrinsic a
part of this composer’s music.
There were times, however, not
only in this group, but in the oth-

ers, when Miss Brice reached the

What is this? A new attempt at
an international language ?—Oh
no, my dear. It is just a fragment
of the usual table discussion at
Radnor Hall, whose cosmopolitan
atmosphere made one of its poor
native inhabitants wonder the oth-
er day whether she is studying at
an American College or just sit-
ting at an
ence. Yes, as to nationalities we
are 15 and though we do not claim
to be excessively modest it may be
that our voices have not yet been
heard in every corner of the cam-
pus, for which reason we hasten
to introduce ourselves.

Some of us seem to have already
adapted ourselves to the new sur-
roundings so well that it may be
difficult for you to tell whether
we are foreigners or Americans,
but that is not the case with all of
us and definitely not with the girl
whom I happened to meet first de-
scending the stairs in Radnor.
With her suave manners and her
nice peculiar dress she is a typi-
cal representative of her people.
Let’s hear what she has to say:

“My name is Sonja Chih and I

may have seen me walking around

Parde Lecturer
Describes Work
With Resistance

Wyndham, October 30: In mem-
ory of Marcelle Parde, former
member of the Bryn Mawr French
Department, who was killed by the
Nazis for her part in the French
resistance, M. ‘Georges Connes
gave a description of Mlle Parde’s
resistance work.

M. Connes, a close friend of
Mlle. Parde, saw her for the last
time upon his release from a Ger-
man prison camp. Praising her
charm, courage, and natural teach-
ing ability, he described her career
as a professor at Bryn Mawr Col-
lege, as director of the Lycee at
Dijon, as professor at the Univer-
sity of Chaumont, and in the Near
East, where she observed the
French school facilities.

Deeply affected by the war, Mlle.
Parde joined the espionage organ-
ization Reseau Brutus after the
death of her parents, and worked
with it to obtain and transmit facts
about German troop’ movements.



-|In August of 1944, however, she

}and her secretary, Simone Blessi,
were imprisoned by the Nazis, and,
in January of 1945, Marcelle Parde
was killed in the camp. of Ravens-

-| bruck.

This year, a memorial service
was conducted in Dijon in memory
of Mile. Parde, and a plaque, bear-
ing a fragment of her own com-
position, was dedicated to her
memory:..““A country cannot die-as
long as its youth are ready to die
for it,”’

Dijon during October of 1944; wit-
nessed the arrival of the American
troops, and was responsible for
solving the many problems which
arose between the military forces
and. the civilian population. “He
emphasized that such clashes were
inevitable in a town as overpopu-
lated as Dijon, and under the ab-
normal conditions which prevailed
after the war. However, mutual
gonfidence and respect were soon
established between the American
officers and M. Connes, who speaks
English fluently, and was even
called “Dijon’s American Mayor”
by the soldiers stationed there.

ment, made by Senator Fulbright

Bryn Mawr.

The dinner, given by the Phila-

Burch Discusses
Universal Theory

At Philos Lecture

In the third of the lectures on
philosophy in honor of Theodore
and Grace De Laguna, Dr. George
B. Burch delivered a paper on “The
Problem of Universals.” Accord-
ing to Dr. Burch the real problem
lies not in finding the true theory
of universals but in discovering to
what sort of universals each of. the
theories applies.

Dr. Burch first explained the
classic formulation of the problem
as stated by the third century neo-
platonist, Porphry. “The possible
solutions of the problem,” Dr,
Burch continued, “that this formu-
lation suggests are: (1) that spe-
cies..are.immaterial..things~ outside
the individual; (2) that they are
immaterial things within the in-
dividual; (3) that they are mater-
ial things, and (4) that they are
mere concepts.’”’ Dr. Burch show-
ed the relationship “between these
possibilities and the four ancient
schools of philosophy; the Platonic,
the Aristotelian, the Stoic, and the
Epicurean.

Mass Meeting
Begins W.S.S.F.
Drive at B. M.

Goodhart, Tuesday, November 5:

“The problem facing the stud-
ents in Europe is not just a lack
of hostels, dormitories, or complete
medical attention but greatly a
problem of moral regeneration,”
stated Dean Hottel, the Dean of
the University of
Pennsylvania. Dean Hottel, speak-
ing at a mass meeting for the pur-

Women = at

program of the United Student
Service Fund, has recently return-
ed from a tour of Europe and
spoke of her experiences there,

pointing out the tremendous lack
of medical supplies for tubercular
students, and the lack of educa-
tional sources in general for the
mass of University age people.

Dean Hottel pointed out the im-
portant work that chalets for re-
cuperation and education have been
able to do, and stressed-the fact
that the WSSF is supported by all
religious factions as well as inde-
pendent Student Organizations.
The universality of the need, cou-
pled with its ultimate importance,
should make. every person feel
obliged to do his part said Dean
Hottel in pointing out that) ‘“‘We
are trying to be world minded, and
here is a chance for individuals to
help.”

Nancy Morehouse, ’47, who spent
the summer in Europe with the
ISS, explained more $Specifically
the importance of the Bryn Mawr
program of supporting the Chalet

des Etudiants at Combleux. ‘‘The
two pressing demands among
European’ students,’ said’ Miss

Morehouse, “are: First, the need
for readjustment from the nega-
tive character of resistance work

struction; the other is the almost
pathetic desire--of~ these” students
to reestablish contact with stud-
ents of other countries.” Pointing
out that Combleux can answer both
these needs, she urged the stud-
ents at Bryn Mawr to aid in this
project. Miss Morehouse stressed *
also the feeling of personal friend-
ship present at Combleux © which
becomes “The feeling of a meeting
of different backgrounds on an



equal basis.”



News Quartet Blossoms Forth
In Unique Modern Disharmony

By Betty-Bright Page, ’49

sical group which cannot be ig-
nored. Indeed, the fam@ of these
revolutionary “singers” is rapidly
spreading. Representing the more

The tonal qualities and the style
of the Quartet are as unique as

Linn Seconds Requests
For Better Ventilation
In, B. M. Library

To the Editor:

I should like to support the plea
in last week’s College News, sign-
ed by nearly fifty students, for bet-
ter ventilation in the Library. My
experience has been in the West
Wing, where Faculty members
without Library Offices can occupy
carrels,

The carrels have radiators in
them, registers opposite them, and
the full benefit of the afternoon
sunlight. You can turn off the
radiator, but not the sun or the
general heat supply. Opening the
window blows the papers off the
desk, or in quiet weather hardly
relieves the prevailing stuffiness.
The carrels seem to have been, des-
ignated for the very aged who need
unusually warm temperatures and
have retired from active mental
work, ;

The Indian summer of recent
weeks may make the trouble seem
merely temporary. It is not. Try
a carrel in winter with the full
steam on in the Library; try the
sunny spring afternoons. The mis-
takes of architects in the past can-
not be wiped out now. But any-
thing that can be done to lighten
the effects will be very mueh ap-
preciated.

Keeping Grandmother Cosy and
Drowsy is nice in some places, But
we do not go to carrels to knit and
nod.

Sincerely yours,

Nov. 4 ,1946 Bettina Linn



Current Events

Predicting the development of, a
liberal third’ party and the dis-
solution of the present Democratic
party, Mr. Richard Bachrach spoke
off. November 4. He feels that,
since the conservative elements
have captured the Democratic Par-
ty, there is really no clearly-de-
fined issue in the present election.
Important issues, such as the poll
tax, inflation, and the housing sit-
uation have been avoided, and at-
tention has been focused upon the
relatively minor meat crisis. The
two parties are also agreed about
international affairs, and this un-
fortunately prevents the voter
from directly influencing foreign
policy.

Mr. Bachrach feels that the only
outlet for liberal opinion would be
a third party built around the or-
ganizational base of the National
Citizens’ Political Actions Commit-
tee, whose large membership
would facilitate the development
of such a party. Liberals, stated
Mr. Bachrach, have been put at a
disadvantage by the attacks. of
Communism which have been lev-
eled against them. He _ recom-
mended that they ignore such at-
tacks and concentrate on becoming
strong in their own right.

Among those present were Miss
Laurence Stapleton, who objected
to the opinions expressed by Mr.
Bachrach. She feels that a third
party would take too long to be-
come firmly established, that it
would be weakened by the CIO-
AF of L conflict. The fault in the
Democratic Party, she

Michels and Berry to Attend
Conference on Atomic Energy

In June 1945 one group, work-
ing at Chicago, raised this ques-
tion officially and petitioned the
Secretary -of War not to drop the
bomb on an occupied city. They
suggested instead, a demonstra-
tion; we should drop the bomb on
some unoccupied ‘section of the
world, having first notified all oth-
er nations, including the Japanese,
and inviting them to send observ-
ers. This recommendation
turned down.

questions: the use to which scien-

what would be the result of an
atomic armaments race leading to
an atomic war; and finally, would
we have, as a result of this big
contribution of science to military
technology, a future restriction of
scientific research, controlled for
military purposes and for secur-
ity?

In answer to these problems,
there was the general recognition
by scientists that “we*must take
some responsibiity for the way in
which scientific discoveries are
used, that we could see no effect-
ive sdefense against the atomic
bofnb and that an atomic warfare
would decimate civilization as we
know it.”’ Finally, that “if scien-
tific research were to come under
military control and be subject to
security, our scientific progress
would be slowed tremendously, if
not stopped.”

Accordingly, scientists started
engaging in nationwide education-

Both B. M. Teams

Beat Swarthmore

The Bryn Mawr hockey teams
carried through a completely stc-
cessful afternoon by defeating
Swarthmore in both the first and
second team games on the losers’
field Friday.

The first team won, 1-0, over
Swarthmore’s varsity in a hard,
fast game, exhibiting excellent co-
ordination and drive. There was
no score in the first half; Bryn
Mawr forwards had the ball in
Swarthmore’s striking circle most
of the period, but were unable to
get it past the goalie. The ball
was played quickly and_ played
high, with considerable scooping
and stopping of shots in mid-air.
The Bryn Mawr goal was made
in the second, more closely fought,
half by Sheila Eaton, center for-
ward, but there was further fight-
ing in Bryn Mawr’s striking circle,
and several well-directed shots for
goal were turned back by Darst
Hyatt, goalie, to preserve the |
Owls’ lead. The-Bryn Mawr de-
fense played a particularly fine
game. Marjorie Shaw’s swift play
at right wing made her alley a
spot of great interest; the game
was ultimately a victory of team-
work, however, and showed im-
provement in co-ordinated, as well
ws* individual, playing.

The second team game was won

by a larger margin, 4-0. The,
team showed a powerful attack
and did not lose the _ offensive

throughout the game.

F ‘ulbright Urges
Liberal Viewpoint

by Nancy Morehouse AT

“The greatest defect in
country is the lack or understand-
ing of human relationships,”
stated Senator J. William Ful-
bright, in a special interview with
a News representative. Senator
Fulbright emphasized the need for
continuing liberal education in
American colleges to develop great-
er breadth of viewpoint in Amer-
ican citizens.

The present need, Senator Ful-
bright feels, is for better eduéa-
tion in the primary and secondary
schools. To encourage this to its
fullest extent he is strongly in fa-
vor of federal aid to education. If
the colleges are to prosper, he de-
clared, a universally higher stan-
dard of preparation in the second-

i; ably.
the|° y



ary schools must be developed.

Women’s education still has a
definite role to play, the Senator
feels. He viewed with amused hor-
ror the suggestion that women’s |
few men
students to handle the overflow of |
male applicants might soon find |
themselves with football teams, and |
other aspects of the coeducational |
college.

In view of the fact that the stu-
dent body has voted against hold-

ing a succession of drives for
money this year, the Alliance
wishes to stress the fact that

CARE jis making a plea on cam-
pus for publicity workers only,
and not for money. ¥ oS

There is a committee of about
twelve students working through
the International Institute in Phil-
adelphia, explaining CARE and its
work to French, Austrian, Nor-
wegian, Greek, and Czechoslovak-
jan groups.. It is especially im-
portant that these people be in-
formed of CARE because they
have relatives abroad who are in
need of relief and they are anx-
ious to know of the most efficient
way of sending packages

There is also a committee on
campus collecting from students
the names of church and civic
groups all over the country which
might be interested in helping tod
spread publicity or in contributing
money. However, they are not
soliciting money at Bryn Mawr.

Anyone who is interested in
helping with any part of this pub-
licity work should contact Betsy
McClure, ’48, Rhoads.

I was too busy drawing typograph-

which made. me plan coming to this

DeLaguna Lecture
Given by Burch

Continued from. Page 1

In the 1Zth century four theor-
ies of universals were recognized
by the French schools of philoso-
phy. These consisted of the ‘es-
sence’ theory, the . ‘indifference
theory, the ‘class’ thebdry, and the
‘nominalist’ theory. “These the-
ories,”’ said Dr. Burch, “must be
considered in deciding on any the-
ory of universals.” Dr. Burch then
proceeded to discuss the theories,
ruling out all but the ‘class’ theory
as a possible solution. He main-
tained this position because only
the ‘class’ theory is consistent with
heredity and evolution, in his opin-

\1on.

Miss McBride made some whof-
ficial remarks about the ive,
pointing out the fact that it would
de totally contrary: to Bryn Mawrs’
democratic policy to raise the tui-
iton of the students in order to ob-
tain the funds the college needs.
No college can meet all its expen-
ses, and at Bryn Mawr the stud-
ent pays appreximately one-half
of what her yearly education: ac-
tually costs.. The poorly-paid fac-
ulty have spent more time and
money in training than many skill-
ed and unskilled workers who are
receiving larger salaries toddy.
