Three Recital
Promote Work
Of H. Schuetz

Haverford Glée Club;
B.M.C. Chorus

Perform

The Heinrich Schuetz Festival,
held from Friday, April 9 through
Sunday, April 11, and directed by
Mr. Reese, was “probably the most
extensive Schuetz Festival held in
America.”

Schuetz was born one hundred
years earlier than Bach and Han-
del and is less well known than
they. He has received more at-
tention recently and the Philadel-
phia Festival was intended to in-
crease this popularity.

Church music of many styles
and moods was the most important
work of this composer who has
been described as an “eclectic
~ cosmopolite.”

The three performances which
composed the Festival were ar-
ranged to provide a maximum of
variety by alternating soloists,
choral works, and _ instrumental
works -and -by including a few
pieces written by other composers
during Schuetz’s time. The par-
ticipants .included soloists, and in-
strumental group, the Bryn Mawr
College Chorus, The Haverford
College Glee Club, The New Choral
Society of Philadelphia and the
chorus of the Springside School.

Soloists were Charlotte Ander-
son of New York, Fritz Krueger,
The Reverend Russell M. Swartley
and Harry W. Wilkinson.. (Organ)
of Philadelphia, Robert Conand
(Harpsichord) of Yale University,
Wilson Townsend Jr. (Organ)
Univ. of Penn., Michael B. Don-
ham, Peter Gardner, Prof. Holland
Hunter, Kenneth Johnson, and
Bruce Reeves of Haverford, Elaine
Fowler of the Springside School,
and Ann Sroka of Bryn Mawr Col-
lege.

Dr. Reese deserves a great deal
of credit for the coordination and
planning of the festival which
gave many people the opportunity
to hear the music of Scheutz for
the first time.

New Honor System
Approved in Senate

especially contributed
by President McBride

At the request of The Self-Gov-
ernment Association, I am making)
an interim report on the status of
the new honor system.

As recommended by the Senate
in February a draft of the new
system was brought to the Faculty
on, March 24th. The-Faculty voted
to approve in principle an honor
system and’ to ask the Faculty
Committee, working with The Self-
Government Association to bring
in a new draft.which would meet
certain criticisms of the first draft
that were raised by members of
the Faculty.

The members of the Faculty
Committeé are: Mrs. Marshall,
Chairman, Mr. Chew, Mr. Latti-
more, Miss Northrop, ‘Miss Wyc-
koff.

The criticism had to do with both
procedure and phrasing. It is.ex-
pected that a new draft will be
brought to. either the regular or
la special faculty _ meeting this

Miss Cam Gives
Speech On Novel

Goodhart, April 6—“What the
historical novelist can do for the
reader is to waken an interest in
the past and bring ‘it to life,” said
Miss Helen Maud Cam, professor
of history at Harvard, in her lec-
ture on the Historical Novel, one
of the Class of 1909 lecture series.

The historical novel, through
which Miss Cam first became in-
terested in the past, must be both
good history and good fiction, if it
is to be taken seriously, she stated.

History is about human nature,
and it is expressed in a conflict of
wills, History as source of enter-
tainment is ambiguous and not al-
ways clearly defined.

One: of the advantages of the
historical novelist, Miss Cam _ said,
is that he is creative. A historian
can theorize or suppose, but he
cannot.create to fill in gaps, as the
historical novelist can.

The historical writer recon-
structs’ society and _ situations.
Where the historian deals with
generalizations, the novelist can be
particular, filling in spaces left by
lack of evidence.

Azuma Kabuki Dancers and Musicians
Enjoy Touring College with Students

by Carol Hansen, °57

Bryn Mawr played host to a
group of unusual guests Thursday,
April 8, when the Azuma Kabuki
Dancers and Musicians from
Tokyo, visited the college. Amidst
pouring rain, they. were escorted
from their bus to the Quita Wood-
ward Memorial Room of the li-
brary and greeted there by Miss
McBride.

Though the women of the group
of approximately twenty, wore
their, native costumes they proudly
carried beautiful American hand-
bags.

were in American suits.. - . -

The guests toured the library
until the rain ceased. They. were
quite fascinated by the fountain in
the cloisters, pulled and pushed the
card catalogue drawers, and looked
through the large dictionary in ‘the
reading room. a

It soon became evident, how-



With one exception the men -

ever, that their primary interest
was taking pictures. All of the

men and some of the women owned | |

very fine cameras. The pictures
they wanted most were those of
the students and dancers together
under the cherry blossoms.

' There was a definite language
barrier between the campus guides
and the dancers, but their inter-

| preter and two Japanese students|"

reduced the difficulty to a mini-
mum. Most of the group, how-
ever, had picked up many English
words. :

One man tried hard to learn
the language and wrote down
every new word in a little note-
book.

| Facts and dates in a historical
novel are not just something to
‘learn, but means to a desirable
‘end, and worth chasing.

Miss Cam said she felt that in-
terpretation of the facts was up to
the author, and that. suppression
of the facts was all right only if
it seemed practical. She stressed
the fact that a balance must be
reached between fiction and histor-
cal evidence.

Miss Cam gave a great many
examples of her points as she went
along, quoting from well known
historical novels.

Goodhart, April. 6, 12 noon.—
“To talk in public, to think in

quotation of Dr. Johnson’s was the
definition of the “The Business of

Dr.. David L. Thomson at the
Graduate Fellowship: Assembly.

Dr. Thomson is. Professor of

Dean Thomson said that to
many, “business” means the chat-
tering of the market place. The
scholar is not sympathetic towards
this view. His standards of news
are different and higher than most
peoples’.

For him, something new is some-
thing which offers possibilities for
growth and development. The next

Bobbyarin Roesen

Bobbyann Roesen was granted
a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship
which she will use to further “her
studies in English at Cambridg
next year. ‘

Bobbyann was one of 25 women
who received grants this year.
There was a total of 144 grants
which were conferred upon repre-
sentatives of 101 colleges.

The Woodrow Wilsén Fellow-
ships are awarded by invitation
only and only upon nomination by
established members of the aca-
demic profession. According to the
program’s national director, the
fellowships “enable teachers to say
to highly qualified young men and
men that they have confidence in
their promise as teachers and
scholars and that they are there-
fore extending them an opportun-
ity ... to try out their interests at
the graduate level and thus to de-
termine whether they wish to enter

Mr. Brown Speaks

‘Mr. Donald R. Brown, Assistant
Professor of Psychology, spoke on
“Personality Through Pereeption,”
at a meeting of the Bryn Mawr
chapter of! Sigma Xi on Tuesday
evening at’8:30 in the biology lec-
ture room of. Dalton. The ‘basis of
the lecture was an experiment en-
titled “Perceptual Consequences of
Success and Failure” which Dr.
Brown helped to conduct at the
University of California.

The experiment was based on
the fact that people observe things
in a selective manner, depending
upon past experience, stimuli, and
other factors. The experiment
showed that individual failure or
success produced a different reac-
tion to symbols and words flashed
before the subjects by means of a
slide projector.

The subjects: were divided into
control, success, and failure groups,
and tested individually. The 39
subjects in the failure group were
Ph. D. candidates in the social and
natural sciences who were within
a month-of receiving their degrees.
The other two groups, consisting
of 14 students each, were chosen
from__various undergraduate de-
partments, ;

The success and failure groups
were asked to estimate how well
they thought they would do on the
tests. The slides with symbols on
them were then flashed and the
subjects tried to recognize as many
symbols as possible. In eleven out
of fifteen cases the success group

a Policy

The Editors of the College News feel that there should

‘be. an outline, and general statement of the policy of the

paper at the present time to make our position clear to our-

selves and to our readers.

We believe that we should present what we think, writ-
ten as concisely and as well as possible. If we have nothing
to say in an Editorial, we feel we should not fill space with
that in which we do not believe. We will not debunk because
“we are merely looking for a reaction and we feel that crusad-
ing can. often be more destructive than creative. On the
other hand we intend always to support views in which we
believe, using the most effective approach at our command.

We do not think we should limit our scope to campus
activities, for we do not see the college as an isolated group,
unaffected by what happens in the rest of the world. We do
feel however that outside subjects should be pursued only

“because of a general interest on campus or where we feel

that such an interest should be stimulated. In political mat-
ters we are interested in principles, not in parties.

We usually avoid issues where only a few people or
groups are involved and choose those where we hope to ac-
complish something without lectures or hackneyed topics.
The paper should not passively “reflect college opinion” as
such an abstract and diversified entity is impossible to repre-
sent fairly. Therefore we can only express what we think is

right and hope it evokes constructive approval or opposition.

-The views we express are those of the whole board and
if our opinion is divided, we try to present each side with

- equal force.

: We welcome letters, criticizing, sia sla lala or approving
and we invite anyone to Board meeting to express his views.

Visitors Instruct

BMC In Lacrosse

especially contributed by
Elizabeth B. Thomas, °57

Who were all those people in
blue tunics, talking with strange
accents? Whatever were they all
doing? Such were the questions
which I was asked after returning
from the coaching given by the’
British and Irish Lacrosse Team.

On Monday afternoon, April
12th, the Touring team honored
Bryn Mawr by coming here to
coach Bryn Mawrters, as well as
people from Drexel, Swarthmore,
West Chester and the Philadelphia
Club.

We were all divided into three
groups — Beginners, Intermedi-
ate and Advanced. The Beginners
were given chiefly stickwork prac-
tice, with emphasis on the cradling
movement, the importance of mov-
ing with the ball, and accuracy.
Those who had had some experi-
ence, played in a game for part of
the time.

The Intermediate group. played
two short games with a stickwork
session in between. Their chief
difficulty seemed to be in keepng
the ball in the air, so they had a
busy time practising the art of
picking up the ball!

The Advanced group played a
game first. It soon became evident
‘that we needed to learn how to
space out and to cooperate more ay
a team. Many of the advanced
players also had difficulty in pass-
ing ahead of, instead of at, the
players. Besides this game, the
Advanced group did some stick-
work, and was given demonstra-
tions of the ideal body-checking,
marking and attacking movements,
We were all overwhelmed by the
accuracy and skill of the British
and Irish team, when they demon-
strated these things to us.

The Touring team, captained by
Joan Reeson, and managed by.
Kathleen’ Haydock, is over here
chiefly for the purpose of popular-
izing the ‘game and~ improving
standards. The climax of this visit
to Philadelphia will be their match
against the all-Philadelphia team
at Lower Merion High School on

sxosiieg their estimates, while the
same proportion of the failure
group fell short of their estimates.

Twenty-four words were then
flashed before each subject. Each
word -was repeated until it had
been seen correctly. If a group
was told that it was doing well, it
improved. If told that it was doing
worse, the results became even
poorer as the group attempted to
improve.

The results. of this experiment
corresponded to the potential suc-
cess or failure of the subjects in a
professional field or as a person.
Psychologists now judge people
more as individuals than as groups,
because they realize that an indi-
vidual’s environment and past ex-
perience and present stimuli have
a great effeet upon him.



Tennis Team Wins,
3-2 Over Rosemont

Bryn Mawr’s tennis team edged
out the Rosemont quintet, 3-2, on

fend their three-year winning
streak. The tilt was close all the
way, with the second doubles match
finally clinching victory for Bryn
Mawr.

Although hampered by poor
court conditions, both teams took
advantage of the perfect tennis
weather by playing to capacity
and seemingly without tension.

Ann Peterkir’s first singles
match with Pat Reeves, of Rose-
mont, was perhaps the most
breathtaking tile in -yesterday’s
competition. The two girls vied
from 4:15 until 6:30 when Ann fi-
nally dropped the match to Pat,
1-6, 7-5, 9-7.

Smooth playing and snappy re-
turns were the order of the day as

Since the score was 2-1 favor Bryn
Mawr with the second doubles and
first singles matches still in prog-
ress spectators and coaches tensely
awaited the outcome.

The girls hope to continue their
undefeated record by downing
Swarthmore when the two teams
meet. at Bryn Mawr on Monday
April 19. Judging from past per-
formance competition promises to
be keener than that which the girls
faced in the Rosemont match.

Scores of the match are as fol-
lows: first singles Ann Peterkin,
6-1, 5-7, 7-9; second singles, Cap-
tain Lois Bonsal, 2-6, 4-6; third

Current Events

| Implications of H-Bomb
Approached by
Miss Hoyt

Miss Rosalie C. Hoyt, Associate
Professor of Physics, delved into
the many implications of the “hy-
drogen bomb at Current Events on
April 12. She stressed that this.
weapon is everybody’s problem, not
just the scientists’.

Scientists are capable of solving
all the technical problems, difficult
though they may be, concerned
with the control of the bomb. It
remains for the rest of the nation |
to solve the political aspects.

The United States military pol-
icy has taken two directions. One
is to stay always ahead of the Rus-
sians in production of nuclear wea-
pons and to thus keep them afraid
of attacking us. The other, the one

| upon which increasing emphasis is

being placed, ‘is to form an ade-
quate defense. We are installing
more radar and trying to disperse
our government and population as
thinly as possible. In this Way, no
matter how hard Russia would at-
tack, we could still retaliate. It is
appalling to note, however, that
our defense could never knock
down more than 80% of: the air-
borne bombs. ,

Many petitions for a stronger
world government and for enlarg-
ing our foreign aid program have
been brought before congress. Sci-
entists have been warning us for
years to be careful. Miss Hoyt be-
lieves that if now, in the light of
recent events, public opinion grows
stronger, Congress will do some-
thing about it.

It was popularly thought that
the hydrogen bomb test in the Pa~
cific on March 1 had gotten out of
control. Miss Hoyt explained that
this was not so; all that happened
was that the area covered by the
blast was a little larger than ex-
pected, Also, there is no danger .
outside the four-hundred-and-fifty
mile area from radioactive clouds
or fish.

Miss Hoyt doesn’t believe that it
would be possible to change the
earth into the form of a star by
igniting it with this energy. This
planet could be made uninhabita-
ble, though, by the cobalt bomb,

but it is very unlikely that =
will ever do this.

Unlike atomic energy, it is im- ~
possible to put this hydrogen pow-.
er to practical use, because one
cannot control the fusion process
like the fission.

Socialist Harrington Finds US Policy
Powerless In Combat With Stalinism

Common Room, April 13, 8:30
P.M.— Michael Harrington, mem-
ber of the Young Socialist League
and contributor to the Catholic
Worker and Commonweal, spoke at
an §S.D.A. lecture on “Can Ameri-
can Foreign Policy Combat Stalin-
ism?”

Mr. Harrington said that our
foreign policy relies’ on force and
reactionary means rather than po-
litical ones. We are powerless to
combat Stalinism, which at least
has a progressive mythology.

-Our prosperous economy is ‘based
on permanent war, Mr. Harring-

ton felt. Instead of mass govern-|

ment intervention politically, bene-
fitting social conditions, our gov-



ernment intervention is always |
‘with arms.

The strength of the Communist
parties in Europe and the general
hostility towards. the United States






attests to the ineffectualness of

our foreign poli¢y~By allying our-
selves with Franco ‘we gain the
enmity of all Europe instead of
their loyalty.

Mr. Harrington said that we
must formulate a. creative demo-
cratic answer to the threat of Stal-
inism. Our democracy should ex-
tend into the social and economic
as well as politjeal spheres. He
did not foresee”the advent of So-
cialism even in the distant future,
but said that we should work with
the means available to us.

Drof. Marguerite

especially contributed .
by Jackie Braun, 54

To celebrate the completion of
its new science building, Gouch-
er College invited students and
professors of science from numer-
ous eastern schools to attend a con-
ference on ‘Perspectives in Sci-
ence,” held April 2 and 3.

Bryn Mawr. was represented at
Goucher by Prof. Marguerite Lehr
and Jackie |Braun, ’54. Professor
“Lehr not only spoke at the phys-
ical science symposium, but also
received a citation as an “able
scholar and inspiring teacher, cher-
‘ishing the best in classical educa-
tion but not afraid to explore and
utilize new. ideas and methods” and

for having made “notable contribu-}

tions to education not only by help-
ing others to understand the na’
ture of mathematics and its role
in the modern world, but also by
demonstrating nd explaining the
discipline of scholarship and its in-
trinsic value.” :

Role of Mathematics

This recognition was particular-
ly fitting after her symposium talk
entitled “Designs for Decision” in
which Miss Lehr explained the
changing attitude toward the role

of pure mathematics in science,,

‘and the impact of probability and
strategy theories on all fields of
scientific inquiry. © “~~~ ‘|

The classical view of mathemat-
ics as the discipline which carries
furthest the process of abstracting
out for study from the real world
certain simple concepts is no long-
er considered the most fruitful

view.

It is now clearly recognized that
the function of pure mathematics
in'science is rather that of provid-
ing a variety of internally consist-
ent systems, nécessary conclusions
from certain basic principles or
postulates, which may be taken up
by the scientist to ‘use as they fit
his need.

Just such an internally consist-
ent system is the mathematical

Humor’s the Note
At Vocational Tea

Common Room, April 15th—Two
speakers enlivened the Vocational
Committee Tea, with a bright
spark of humor. At five p.m. two
types of occupations were discuss-
ed, with Miss Digman, of the N &

W_Air Company holding: forth on
publicity work, and Miss Tuttle, of
‘the RKO Theatre Company, speak-
ing on personnel work.

Both Wémen spoke on the vari-
ous misconceptions commonly en-
tertained about their work, the di-
versity of field in these types of
occupations, and the qualifications
needed. — ‘

Especially emphasized were the
needs for good all-around experi-
ence in these jobs, including vol-
unteer work throughout’ your
school years, and courses in col-
lege on that type of subject, al-
though a good liberal education is
also needed. One should have
either typing or shorthand, and the

Lehr Deseribes

~ Changing Attitudes Towards Math’

theory of probability, developed by
pure mathematicians whose inter-
est was aroused by problems in
games of chance and of strategy
it was not until fairly recently that
scientists realized that this already
existing mathematical theory does
fit many of their needs, and with
this realization entire domains pre-
viously beyond control opened to
attack by ‘prediction from _pat-
tern.” 3

The physical sciences, the biolog-
ical sciences, psychology, econom-
ics, sociology, and anthropology
profited tremendously by the use
of this mathematical theory to ex-
pose the dilemmas of decision and

‘then to design schemes for draw-

ing valid conclusions about certain
properties or characteristics of
large populations from samples of
it. .

The first day’s everits included
dedications, an open-house in the
new building for guests to view
the laboratories.:and demonstra-
tions, and a memorial lecture on
““Precision Measurements and the
Progress: of Science.” The next
morning two symposia were held,
one in the biological sciences, the
other in the physical sciences and
mathematics, where all the speak-
ers were Goucher alumnae, distin-
guished in different scientific fields.
The conference ended on a high
note, as Goucher’s President Krau-

‘|}shaar awarded a number of cita-

tions of merit to alumnae for out-
standing work in science,

Biological Research

Theme Of Seminar

“The Place of Biological Re-
search in the Liberal Arts College”
was discussed at a conference held
at the Deanery during spring vaca-
tion. Sponsored by the National
Science Foundation, the group in-
cluded biology professors from all
over the nation who were to con-
sider the relationship between re-
search and instruction.

Miss McBride opened the con-

| ference with a talk entitled “How

Can Liberal Arts Colleges Get the
Best Teaching?” The rest*of. the
time was taken up with discussions
of the various branches of the sub-
ject.

The members of the conference
agreed that “research can and
usually does foster better teaching
because it demonstrates the means
whereby knowledge is gained and
because of it the student is more
likely to acquire the attitude of

the-inquiring mind_and_is_ thus}

skeptical of authority”.
Problem of Time

The danger that research would
absorb an undue amount of the

| teacher’s time was also empha-
sized, However, this danger may

be more imagined than real be-
cause a man whose primary inter-
est is teaching is more likely to
seek a position in a liberal arts
college, while those interested in
research most likely will move on
to a place where this activity is
stressed.

Founded by an act of Congress,
the National Science Foundation is
interested in a report showing the
high percentage of scientific schol-
ars who graduate from certain
small liberal arts colleges. The
foundation is trying to determine
the value, or even the desirability,
of granting money to the liberal
arts colleges for research.

All types of denominational,
men’s, women’s and co-educational
colleges from all over the country
were represented at the confer-
ence, L. Joe Berry, Bryn Mawr

Steering Committee, while Harriet

Rummagers Search
At Alumnae Auction

by Ruth Rasch; ’57

“Going, going, gone!” were the
words of the day as the Alumnae
Scholarship Fund benefitted at an
auction and rummage sale at the
Gym on Sat., April 10.. Everything
irom plants to a large, gangly,
puppy went under the auctioneer’s
gavel,

Outside of the Gym, flowers and
green plants covered the walk, and
inside refreshments, jhome-made
by the alumnae, rested on the
table-filled- fencing room,

The Gym ‘itself had the appear-
ance of any church bazaar. On
racks clothes were hanging, many
of them of the style that had its
heyday at Bryn Mawr during -the
twenties. Jewelry and some spe-
cial “white elephants” covered
other tables. ~

Books Popular

Books, fiction, non-fiction, occu-
pied much attention and the price
of twenty-five cents pleased most
of the buyers who could be seen
carrying out armfuls, maintaining
the appearance of the traditionally
book-ladened Bryn Mawr student.

Records, most,of them 78’s, filled
boxes near the books and -prints
and pictures covered the wall at
one end. Professors, students,
alumnae, and just strangers wan-
dered around just looking, often
enticed into buying. .

Admission charge of 25¢ brought
the holder of three lucky door
prize tickets a Sunbeam mixer, a
Brownie camera, and a surprise
gift, respectively. The Gym was
opened at about eleven and the
auction itself started at 12:30, A
rotisserie, a Japanese bowl, and a
patchwork quilt were among the
things sold. The puppy- aroused
the most attention.

Mr. Bachrach’s (Class Visits Court

On Recent Trip to Washinaton D.C.

April 5-6—The American Con-
stitutional ,.Law class went on a
two day field trip with Mr. Bach-
rach to Washington, D. C., to see
the Supreme Court in action. The
class, as a group, interviewed Su-
preme Court Justices Douglas and
Black and attended a session of
vhe Court.

During the interview with Jus-
tice Black, the class asked him how
he reconciled his own views on
civil rights, which seemed at times
to go against the general will of
the people, with the belief that the
people should rule the democracy.
‘the Smith Act was cited as an ex-
ample of such a case.

Justice Black said that many
such'laws were, in,his opinion un-
constitutional. He ‘said that we
are living according to the prin-
ciples set down by the Founding
Fathers. Some of thesé principles,
they believed, were unchangeable,
no matter what public opinion was.
freedom ‘of speech, for instance,
is that kind of an absolute.

Justice Wm. O. Douglas was
questioned about specific cases. One
ot them involved the situation dur-
ing World War II, when Americans
of Japanese descent were deprived

The NSA S ponsors
Leaders Program

The NSA International Leader-
ship Program will be repeated at
Cambridge this summer. The plan
includes participation of twelve in-
terested students from all parts of
the U. S. The program will be
conducted under the. direction of
Paul Sigmund, of the Harvard
Graduate School.

The plan consists of six weeks of
intensive study in order to train a
group of students as representa-
tives of the Association abroad and
on member campuses. Students at
all USNSA schools are eligible to
apply. Full information and ap-









plications will shortly be available.

of property. Justice Douglas
stated that in time.of war the
Government should have the right
to restrict personal liberty for the
general good of the country.

He was also asked whether. the
high court’s refusal to take a case
from a lower court meant that the
Supfme Court was in agreement
with the lower court’s decision.
Justice Douglas denied this. He
said that the Supreme Court was
simply. reviewing less and less
cases and ‘handing down fewer de-
cisions.

Natural Gas Case

This was the reason for denying
the request to review a case in-
volving segregation in housing in
New York. Justice Douglas felt
that this decline in the Supreme
Court’s activity. was bad and that
through it, it was avoiding many
controversial and important issues.

The case before the Supreme
Court during the session which the
class attended involved the Gov-
ernment’s regulation of a natural
gas company. The Solicitor-Gen-
eral presented the case for the
Government. ot

The private natural gas com-
pany’s lawyers wanted the Govern-
ment -to control the company, and
were arguing whether the Act of
Congress regulating natural gas
companies applied to their particu-
lar organization.

Visit Other Sights

Through. permission granted by
Senator Martin, of Pennsylvania,
most of the class also attended the
Senate. Some of the members vis-
ited an open meeting held by Sec-
retary of Commerce Weeks. The
Bureau of Printing and Engraving,
the White House, National Art
Gallery and the F.B.I., were some
of the other places which individ-
ual members of the class visited.
Students also went to see their in-

THE COLLEGE NEWS



‘Swarthmore, CCNY Sending Students
To Visit The U.S.S.R. During Summer

~ especially contributed
by Leigh Scott, ’57

The possibility and valye of
sending. groups of American col-
lege students to the USSR this
summer will be discussed this Sat-
urday, 1 p..m., at International
House, NYC. All interested college
students are welcome to the meet-
ing ‘sponsored by the Student
Councils of CCNY and Swarth-
more College.

The Swarthmore Student Council
initiated the plan at the beginning
of this school year, when they poll-
ed the whole student body on the
question of sending Swarthmore
students to Russia this summer.
73% favored the trip and a major-
ity agreed to contribute financial-
ly. Any student may file an ap-
plication; a student-faculty com-
mittee will narrow the ‘candidates
to those specially qualified; -the
student body will finally vote for
its representatives,

One group..of college ews-
paper editors spent three weeks in
Russia during the winter holidays.
Members of the group were free
to go where and talk to whom they
- pleased, with the exception of not
being able to see a Steél ‘nifll. Most
Russians, especially students, show-
ed great curiosity about America,
swarming the visitors with ques-
tions. Americans and Russians

Sum ‘of Dice and Men’--Theory of Probability

Professor Marguerite Lehr spoke
“Of Dice and Men—and Gambling

Games” to the Science Club, Tues-
day evening, April 13, in Dalton
Hall. Miss Lehr’s subject was the
development of the theory of prob-
ability, started by men whose in-
terests were aroused by problems
arising from questions of games
of ‘chance,

Judgments as to the likelihood
of a situation or event are part of
ordinary conversation. From. peo-
ple walking down a street, a few
are stopped at random and asked
the month of their birth; the first
six answer either October or May.
Many consider this:an unlikely sit-
uation. A coin is tossed and the
first five times the result is heads.



This would be judged unusual, but
how unusual, against what back-
ground of judgment is it unusual
or usual? The. problem then. arose
of attaching numbers to these esti-
mates of likelihood and if these
es, can be attached so as to
give meaning to the arithmetic op-
erations of addition and multipli-
cation, then one has number in its
full meaning, A problem which in-
volves more subtly the concept of
likelihood judgment is that of a
telephone exchange A which is to
serve 2,000 subscribers in another
exchange B. The lines are expen-
sive’and the company wants to

der ordinary conditions only one of

Pascal became interested in ‘Such

Pascal was led to consider. the gen-

of these numbers. He and Fermat,

it quite differently, arrived at the

‘Place of Scholars in World of Today Discussed
By. Dr. D. .D. L. Thomson in Graduate Assembly

Continued from Page 1

similar interest, for the scholar’s
in an international community.
The scholar’s greatest reward is
not in social recognition but in the
knowledge of what life has to offer
in the love of knowledge and its
endless recourse. Dean Thomson
said that to find “in this mad
world” such a “gossamer web of
sanity” was of great solace to him.
Bean Thomson spoke of Brown-

ing’s attitude towards the scholar
in The’ Grammarian, which ex-
pressed admiration of scholar’s
fedication, ‘becauseof his subse-
quent success. In contrast to this
opinion is the one held by Louis
Macniece. To him the success and
recognition are unimportant; he
considers the sense of dedication
the essential element.

Dean Thomson illustrated this
view with a quote from Macniece
describing the scholar: “ ... he
lived by measuring things and died
like a recurring decimal, refusing
to_be run off the page”. This sense
of dedication often becomes arti-
ficial and absurdly intense which,
said Dean Thomson, even Dr. John-
son wouldn’t have approved.

Dean Thomson then asked
whether the demands of art and
scholarship can -ever justify the

strict canonization of the mind| _

which. the scholar improses upon
himself.
