get to the basket and score. The
J. V. redeemed the afternoon by
beating Swarthmore in a very
close game, 27-23. Here, as on the
varsity, the guards were by far
the strongest part of the Bryn
Mawr team in comparison with
the forwards who seemed a bit
iost. This was the last game of
the season, and though the var-
sity has won few games ,it was felt,
that there had been great im-;
provement, and that not any of the
games had been easily lost. The
J. V. has done considerably better
and has lost only one game this
year.
The basketball teams were as
follows for the Swarthmore game:
Varsity
forwards
Tilghman
Kennedy-Merrick-Cohen
Fox

Eristoff
Mackall
Gurewich
Junior Varsity

Smith
Gilbert

The first and second swimming
varsities had poor luck last Thurs-
day in their meet with Chestnut
Hill. Both meets were terribly
close, but in the end Bryn Mawr
lost both to their opponent. The
varsity lost 31-26, and the J. V.
32-25. In the varsity meet, Laid-
law, Harvey, and Tepper won the
medley relay, Harvey and Hopkins
took first and second place in the
breaststroke, Laidlaw won the
backcrawl, and Fair came in sec-
ond in the freestyle. The free-
style relay was won by Chestnut
Hill, as was the freestyle. Judy

told me, “made it look like a med-

Miss Dunbar answered, “I was
wmazed at the huge number of
taxis and the gay colors.” After
spending several days in--Manhat-
ten with relatives, she came to
Philadelphia and finally to Bryn
Mawr on Monday, September 24.
“I like Bryn Mawr,” was the
question,
“There is a terrific emphasis on
work and assignments, but on the
whole I am very pleased.” Lorna
Dunbar’s primary interest is
Child Psychology, and she is rather
pleased that she has an oppor-

really quite complicated.”

of the Philadelphia branch of the

program, “Meet the MacMullans,”

tional exchange program, part of
which keeps students from Britain
here and helps them. “It was the
first time I had ever been on tele-
vision ,” Miss Dunbar commented.
“In fact, there is no television in
Scotland yet, and I had never even
seen it before I came to America.”
She added that there was no script,
and that the interview was com-
pletely impromptu. “I thought I
would get all tongue-tied,” she
told me, “but it was really a de-
lightful. experience; it was just
like talking to another person.”
She apparently enjoys talking
about the ESU because of the
wonderful way they have treated
her, and so her television inter-
view was a comparatively relaxed
one. “They are wonderful to me!”
she exclaimed, “They meet you
when you arrive, and they take
care of everything. The Philadel-
phia branch invites me to all of
their functions.” She proceeded
to tell of a recent incident. The
Philadelphia branch sponsored a
benefit performance by the Sad-
ler’s Wells Ballet at the Acad-
emy of Music on February 29, and
she was invited to attend the per-
formance and the reception for
the Ballet Company which was
held in the Academy after the per-
formance.
To speak with this lively lady
is indeed a rich experience.

the senses in comprehending na-
ture, since the senses, despite their
elusiveness, are often quicker than
intellectual perception. Nature is
the supreme guide in all fields of
knowledge, and must be thorough-
ly understood.
As a predecessor of Deéscartes,
Leonardo stressed the importance
of mathematics in an evaluation
of nature. He considered the fun-
damental basis of science to be the
reduction of everything to certain
universal mathematical principles.
He was interested in the relation
between the spatial and temporal
conceptions of nature. To him, the
universe is made of ultimate ele-
ments, or points, but these. points
do not exist. There is no present,
since the point between the past
and the future does not exist.
Concerning life in general,
Leonardo had Nietzschian ideas.
To him life and death were the
same, there is no purpose in life
except a drive toward death, Man
is a “monstrous creature of crea-
tion’ and -his melancholy has no
limits. However, said Mr. Gian-
turco, despite his emphasis on
man’s degradation and his phil-
osophy of annihilism, Leonardo
had a great exultation of life, as
proved by his many interests and
works of genius.

a seeming lack of inspiration in
the two pieces of Ropartz, but this
feeling, fortunately, did not cairy
over into the Haydn, which was
delightfully played. The Debussy,
too, was well played, and here
again the oboe passages were par-
ticularly good.
The final selection, Gion’s “Har-
monica Player”, was full of good
humor, and left the audience clap-
ping for more. The encore was
“Passacaglia” by Barthe, and here
the clarinet and oboe played beau-
tifully together, and the whole
group was perfectly balanced, with
sharp attacks and more strong
rhythms.
On the whole, the program was
excellently played, and one must
admire the way Miss Edwards
filled in with little notice, and
the way the quintet, without a
previous rehearsal with her, pre-
sented a difficult and surprisingly
mixed program,
