Present Tasks
Of ‘Point Four’
Technical Assistance
Helps Devastated
Countries
“Where Point Four Is Going
Today” was the subject about
which Clayton E. Whipple, Chief
of the Food and Natural Resources
Projects Staff, spoke at the second
Alliance Assembly on November
19, in Goodhart Auditorium.
To clarify to everyone where
Point Four came from and is now.
before discussing where it is go-
.ng, Mr. [Whipple explained that
it originally was the fourth point
expounded by President Trumar.
when he began his second term.
Point Four is the sharing of tech-
nical competence by the peoples
of the world. Mr. Whipple pointed
out that such co-operation among
people should be obvious to us
around Philadelphia, where help
to others was the foundation of
the city.
The program at present is be-
coming more active every day. Ap-
‘propriations and committees were
late in being completed and yet
by September of this year forty-
three countries had filed requests
for assistance; work has been ac-
tually begun in thirty-six of them.
There have been requests for 690
projects in technical assistance of
which 178 are started in fields
ranging from forestry to govern-
ment service. In the carrying out
of these requests, Mr. Whipple
stressed that this is more a pro-
gram of co-operation than assist-
ance; and if it is assistance, it is
mutual. There are cases, Mr.
Whivple explained, in which the
countries with whom we are work-
ing are spending more than we
are.
A most important step in inter-
national. understanding is the
“training grant” to foreigners,
gradaate students, teachers, and
leaders seeking to clarify their
ideas. Eight hundred and sixty-
two grants have been issued.
Mr. [Whipple stated that two-
thirds of the world is in dire need
of the assistance of the Point Four
plan because hunger, disease, and
poverty reign. While these people
are rebelling against their life,
they must be shown that there are
other roads besides those leading
to communism; aid to them in ed-
ucation, health, production, cr
clothing can point the way to the
free nations.
That this is not a give-away
plan, Mr. Whipple made clear, but
it is a plan of assisting nations to
reach their goal. It is even true
that too much money could lead to
a deviation from that plan and
would then defeat the purpose.
Mr. Whipple stressed more train-
ing of people here in the United
States because technical assistance
plus practical experience will aid
in the better development of the
world. © eae, ot

League To Solicit
$3600. Charity Sum
From Student Aid
In keeping with the post-thanks-
giving spirit, the League is begin-
ning its canvass for funds with
which to help its various active
branches. On November 27, 28,
and 29, canvassers will ask each
undergrad student to -contribute
$7.50 toward a $3600 goal. The an-
swer to- the prevalent question
‘where does. the money go’ is that
it is divided among: Blind School
Reading, ‘Weekend Work Groups,
‘Norristown Hospital, Coatesville
Veterans Hospital, Dance and
Show for Maids and Porters, Bryn
Mawr Summer Camp, Summer
Workshop in Workers’ Education
at Rutgers (formerly the Hudson
Shore Labor School), and the Soda
Fountain.
Because the purpose of the
League is to help other people, it
hopes everyone will be aware of
the need present in every branch
of its work and give! The amount
asked for looks ominous but when
spread over paydays throughout
the year the individual sums seem
less foreboding. You can pay by
cash or check as well, and after
you have given your share, watch
the chart in Taylor Hall for the
progress made, because you have
helped the League drive toward its
goal.

The Dean’s Office and Self-Gov
vish to make the following state-
ment: i
The College rule concerning
driving is that students may not
have cars at college and that they
may drive only under special cir-
cumstances.
The rule means that students
who drive cars while in residence
must do so when a parent, guard-
ian, or close relative who assumes
family responsibility is in the car.
It is not expected that students
will sign out for an afternoon or
an evening to the nearby address
of a friend in order to drive. No
student should plan to return to
college after an absence in a car
to be driven by herself and left at
a nearby residence or garage.
In case of emergency, any stu-
dent may consult the Dean about
exception to the rule.

About Feminine
Services
‘Coionel Mary Jo Shelly, head of
the Women’s Air Force, spoke
Monday night in Goodhart Hall on
the subject “Women in the Armed
Services: Passing Fancy or Per-
manent Fact”.
Miss McBride, in introducing
Colonel Shelly, recalled her own
speech at assembly last year con-
cerning the efforts of the Armed
Forces toward having women work
more effectively. She informed
the audience that Colonel Shelly
was a commanding lieutenant in
the WAVES in 1942. During the
war she was an assistant in the
women’s naval reserve training
program. For these services and.
her work in directing the demobil-
ization of the women’s forces af-
ter the war, she received a secre-~
tarial citation from Secretary Fore
restal.
Colonel Shelly said that she
chose this title because it suggest-
ed se well the questions in the
minds of all college women today.
“Though I have no desire to re-
cruif you in person, I do wish to
reeriut your understanding”, she
stated. There are too many mis-
conceptions about the service ex~
isting today.
“There has beer difficulty in
finding the line that exists between
the civilian and the military ever
since the Irst atom exploded in
New Mexico”, said Colonel Shelly.
There is now a great concentrated
effort throughout the American
ranks to work for peace. All ac-
tion in the military is based upon
hope for peace and preparation for
war.

tory of women in the armed sery-

Wilmer Cave Wright
The NPWS takes this opportunity to note with regret
the death of Dr. Wilmer Cave Wright, professor emeritus of
Greek at Bryn Mawr College. Dr. Wright first came to Bryn
Mawr in 1892 after being graduated from Girton College at
Cambridge University, England, to study under the late Pro-
fessor Paul Shorey, a Greek authority. Professor Shorey
went to the University of Chicago, and it was there that Dr.
Wright received her doctor of philosophy degree in 1895.
Dr. Wright taught at Bryn Mawr from 1897 to 1933 and
was made a full professor in 1921. During this period, she
published a textbook, “A Short History of Greek Literature
from Homer to Julian” which is stiil a standard text.
Ever since her retirement from teaching in 19338, she
worked in cooperation with the New York Academy of Medi-
cine. She translated from Latin medical treatises for the
medical profession, the most recent being a sixteenth cen-
tury work.
: Dr. Wright was the widow of Dr. J. Edmund Wright,
professor of mathematics at Bryn Mawr, who died in 1910.
We record with sorrow the passing of Dr. Wright, one of
Bryn Mawr’s most outstanding teachers and scholars.
Two’s Allowed
Rules which concern walking at night, either on campus,
to and from the station, or in directions away from the vil-
lage and those which deal with visiting in other halls, have
been posted in every hall.
The Self-Gov rules have always stated that students
‘should walk in groups after dark; this statement is reiterat-
ed, adding a new suggestion that students who walk on cam.
pus and particularly down to the Skinner Workshop also geo
in pairs.
This rule, like all Self-Gov rules, is one that makes sense.
It is not merely arbitrarily imposed at college—it is just as
sound wherever one lives in any kind of environment. It
should not be necessary to state these precautions as law,
each student should always voluntarily out of her own good
sense observe them.
The student is under a strong obligation to know and
obey these rules. She must realize that-her safety is a mat-
- ter.of concern not only to herself and to her parents by the
college, to which responsibility for her well being is tempor-
arily transferred. In these circumstances personal caution
becomes at the same time consideration for others.
Letters fo
the Editor
Librarian Praises Reserve Room Cooperation;
Lists Specific Regulations
For Most Efficiency
To the editor of the
Bryn Mawr College News
The Library Council question-
naire, the recent editorial in the
News, and the suggestions placed
in the box in the Reserve Room
have raised again the question of
an Open versus a Closed Reserve
Room. The success of our present
system depends entirely upon the
complete cooperation of those who
use the Reserve Room. I am con-
vinced that all of the trouble aris-
es from the actions of a very few
who selfishly put their own needs
above any curtailing rules. The
majority of the students are hon-
orable and careful to observe Lib-
rary regulations.
However, there are a number of
small ways in which many stud-
ents are thoughtless in their use
of the Library. It might be well
at this time to consider ways in
which we may all need to reform.
In sending these suggestions to
the News I should like to point out
that I am not bypassing the ex-
cellent Library Council but am
doing so with its complete ap-
proval.
1. The Reserve Rooms and the
steps leading to the Reading Room
are not places for gossip.
2. Library assistants working in
the Reserve Room do not know as-
signments in various courses, In
order to locate books on reserve,
they must know author and title.
Students are urged to pay careful
attention when the assignment is
given.
3. The Reserve Room is not a
source of supply for pencils. As
many as six have disappeared in
one week. This may be listed un-
der the title of petty annoyances!
4. The Library assistant will be
glad to locate long cards which are
filed and does not enjoy having
others . shuffle through them or
grab out a while batch of 800s for
example. ‘Nor does she want cards
refiled by others than herself since
they are often or even regularly
misfiled. Cards which have been
rem«-ved for resigning or reserva-
tions should be placed in the
square brown box.
5. Since the rules for the use
of the Reserve Room may change
from year to year or may become
more specific, it is highly recom-
mended that even the most ex-
perienced users of the Reserve
Room read each year the current
rules which are always on the
bulletin board. It is disconcert-
ing to be met with blank looks
when reminding students. that
only one book may be used at a
time in the Reading Room and
that overnight books may not go
out until 9:30. Incidentally books
reserved for the night may not
go out until 9:50 if in use at 9:30.
Students should also be sure to
consult the Reserve sheet before
going off blithely with books for
the night.
6. In the Reading Room Re-
serve Desks are available for
Seniors. Official Reserve Desk
signs may be obtained at the Main
Circulation desk. Students are
urged to keep their desks tidy and
undecorated.
7. I should like to enter a
strong plea that students show
consideration for the needs of
their fellow students in reserving
books. The week-end before a
quiz is no time to take a book out
for the week-end. Nor is it neces-
sary to reserve several copies of
the same book at different hours
during the day thus insuring a
steady use of the book at a time
when the book is at a premium.
Some students forget that only
one book per course may be re-
served for the night though sev-
eral books may be taken if not
previously reserved. In regard
to week-end reservations it would
be considerate to reserve the boox
for Saturday night only and only
sign it out for the week-end if on
Saturday night it has not been
reserved for the Sunday hours.
In closing I should like to point
out that the so-called disagreeable
Library rules are made to insure
a fair use of the books. They
only seem confining when they in-
terfere with individual whims. It
is unfortunate that there is not
more general rejoicing when the
book is there when it is wanted.
This I am glad to say is the rule
rather than the exception.
Sincerely yours,
Doris H. Darnell

Col. M. J. Shelly’s Career Combines
Educational and M ilitary Occupations
Colonel Mary Jo Shelly was
sworn in as second Director of the
Women in the Air Force June 12,
1951. She was born in Grand
Rapids, Michigan, February 17,
1902, was graduated Phi Beta
Kappa from the University of
Oregon in 1926, and received a
Master’s degree from Columbia
University in 1929.
From 1930 to 1932, Colonel
Shelly served as graduate assist-
ant in education at Teachers Col-

Sutton Evaluates
Five ‘Imperatives’
“The most subtle thing a teach-
er can give his pupil is ‘a genuine
reverence for life’,’ stated Dr.
Willis A. Sutton, addressing the
private school teachers of Mont-
gomery County, Wednesday, No-
vember 14, at their evening meet-
ing in Goodhart Auditorium.
Superintendent of schools in At-
lanta, Georgia and onetime preach-
er, Lir. Sutton asserted that the
movement of the world’s history
is forward. He attributed this to
the salutary -effects of education,
and enumerated the “Great Amer-
ican Imperatives” which he stated
must be taught to prevent the dy-
ing out of the human race.
These imperatives are: a regard
for human life, love for the soil, an
appreciation of a good home life,
a realization of the moral backing
of the universe, and finally, the
obligation of the teacher to instill
wonder into the minds of his pu-
pils.
Of the first American impera-
tive, applying to all of mankind as
well as Americans, Dr. Sutton said,
“A love of peace must be inculcat-
ed in our children or we will be
destroyed”. ‘We are hardened to
war; murders have become com-
mon and atrocities and accidents
are accepted without much dismay.
Amevicans have applied inventions
to means of death, and we do not
regard life or teach this to the
child. ‘The most valuable lesson’,
he concluded, “is the one, ‘Thou
shalt not kill’.”
Leve for the soil was the second
imperative stated by Dr. Sutton.
“The wealth of this country de-
pends on the earth”, he continued,
“and we must teach this to little
children who love the earth”. Dr.
Suttcn considered it more import-
ant to the wealth and character of
the country to love the soil than
to ba able to read. “No one who
really loves the soil is bad”, he
stated. He called the farmers the
“makers and builders of the world”
and pointed out that we only ma-
nipulate what they produce. “Land
is basic in life”, he said, “and we
must not neglect it”.

lowing elections:

Sydney de Shazo
Polly Oatfield
Rotating Mem. U.G.
Saren Merritt
A.A. Repres. ........ Wendy Ewer
The next American imperative
is to teach the child that there is
no substitute for a good home life.
The modern trend is the disinte-
gration of families and this ten-
dency must be reversed or we per-
ish. The elementary teacher must
use his great power to teach child-
ren to build homes and family life,
and to live a straight clean life
within the group that is the center
of all society.
Continuing his list of impera-
tives, Dr. Sutton said we should
teach religion in its broadest ex-
panse and values in the schools.
Children should be shown that the
principles of democracy do not
stem solely from political theory,
but are based largely on the He-
brew-Christian ethics, The knowl-
edge of the direct connection of
democracy with religion should be
imparted to school children.

Mr. Sloane Discusses Aspects Of Art
Instruction; Emphasizes Entire Scope
November 14 at 4:30 in the Art
Lecture room, Dr. Sloane address-
ed a meeting of the Private School
Teachers Association on the sub-
ject “Varieties of Art Teaching.”
Essentially Dr. Sloane was con-
cerned with the antagonism in at-
titudes of teaching art, caused by
a disagreement between the “Cre-
ate Yourself” school and _ the
“Study in History of artistic cre-
ation” school. This problem is an
extension of a deeper and more
distressing misunderstanding: the
antagonism between the artist and
the. critic.
This‘ opposition is artificial and
unnecessary since to exclude
either aspect from one’s education
would be a great mistake. The
fact that there is only a limited
amount of time is the cause of
the problem, for to be an artist or
to be an art historian. takes more
time than the average student
has. Some educators think, there-
fore, that the student’s time
should be spent exclusively learn-
ing to be either an historian or an
artist.
Dr. Sloane disagrees with this
view and believes that both his-
tory and. ¢reativity are valuable
ina fully rounded art education,
as none of the reasons for which
art is taught in a general educa-
tion should: be disregarded* com-
pletely. Excluding the provision
of a background for a professional
art career, these reasons are:
1) to facilitate the discovery of
the “very large and important”
values that are inherent in per-
sonal creativity, Even if the cre-
ated object is not of great ex-
cellence it produces the “peculiar
and vivid pleasures” of creation
which enrich life.
2) To develop appreciation of
art. Just what appreciation is is
unclear, but Dr. Sloane would like
to think of it as “a by-product of
either creative activity or histor-
ical activity or a mixture of the
two.”
8) As an historical discipline in
the humanities, for it is in art
that men have put their best foot
forward through the ages. The
above usually results in develop-
ing a reasonably good critical
sense and a desire to try creating,
which brings the process around
to a full circle.
Although school children should
be made continuously aware of
the arts and encouraged to de-
velop a natural taste for the fine
arts by a process of osmosis, a
Yale Grads State
Religious Question
On Thursday evening, November
15, in the Common Room, Bob Mc-
-Lean and Kelly Clark (Yale ’51)
gave an informal talk on religion
Both boys are at present prepar-
ing for the ministry at the Vir-
ginia Theological school.
In order to face the ultimate
questions of life, Kelly Clark said
that we must first answer the
question—“What think ye of the
Christ”? He suggested that, after
examining the claims Christ made,
we are faced with the choice of
thinking him a madman—or the
Son of God, as he claimed he was.
He stressed the need to work out
our answer to this question now,
in order that we might be able to
meet our personal problems and
an insecure world with the. neces-
sary faith and courage. |

ing is invaluable, for it may pro-
vide an interest and avocation
which the students will maintain
throughout life.
Creative instruction should be
begun in the primary grades, and
not allowed to lapse in the second-
ary schools because this often
allows self-consciousness and a
cramped style to enter, which is
an obstacle to later creat've ef-
forts. In the last years of second-
ary schools it would be desirable
if, without the sacrifice of creative
expression, some formal training
in the elements of design, color,
etc., could be introduced.
Rauchenbush Sees
Book Gap Bridged
On Wednesday, November 15,
Miss Esther Rauchenbush, Dean of
Sarah Lawrence College, spoke in
Taylor before group six of the
fall meeting of the Private School
Teachers Association of Philadel-
phia and vicinity. Miss Rauch-
enbush chose the subject, “Litera-
ture for Individual Education.”
Miss Rauchenbush emphasized
that individual education, a direct
student-teacher relationship, is the
ideal type of education in any
field, including the field of litera-
ture. Many schools have been un-
able to do this because of the
strangle-hold which college board
examinations have held on them.
This subordination to a stand-
ard college entrance
tion has forced teachers to hand
out long lists of what are consid-
ered “good books” to the student.
It has also led to stereotyped
“survey” courses, which rush the
student through a large mass of
literature of the ages, with an
emphasis on the chronology of
the books rather than on _ the
books themselves.
What Books?
The question that an English
teacher should ask, continued
Miss Rauchenbush, is “what
do we want a study of Eng-
lish literature to do for the
student?” rather than the normal
question of “what books oug
these children to read”. “There (is
not any one measurable, describ-
able body of material that one
person should know,” she _ as-
serted.
Books should not be forced on
the young student, since knowl-
edge “comes when it comes” and
cannot be _ forced. Literature
should be studied as an art to
give the students a chance to feel
and respond to it. Young stu-
dents must know that what they
read is important to them. There
is often a great difference in what
students read for “fun”, and in
what they read for “literature”.
Children in their middle and
later adolescence are very inter-
ested in themselves and in what is
happening to themselves. There-
fore the chief concern of a teach-
er in planning her course, is to be
interested in the individual stu-
dent and to be willing to begin
with him at his level, no matter
how inferior. Before these stu-
dents are faced with really diffi-
cult books, Miss Rauchenbush
stressed, they must be given
proper introductory works.

theme which interests the student,

PSTA Group Two
Claims Pechan Bill
Threat to Liberty
Group Two of the Private Schoo]
Teachers Association considered
“The Pechan Bill, a threat to the
liberties of all of us.” Miss Dor-
othy Dandois introduced Mr. Eric
Johnson, headmaster of Friends’
Central School, who in turn pre-
sented William Rahill, the vice-
president of the American Civil
Liberties Union in the Philadel-
phia area.
Mr. Rahill traced the history of
the bill, Senate Bill No. 27, from
its inception by dentist Pechan, at
the behest of the American Le-
gion, through its present state, as
it awaits a House vote on Decem-
ber 10. At first, the bill, officially
the Pennsylvania Loyalty Bill,
provided for an oath that one did
not belong to any of a list of sub-
versive organizations which the
State Attorney General later re-
fused to compile.
Lacking the teeth that would
have been provided by the list, the
bill was amended after it was
passed through the State Senate,
with little publicity, and into the
House committee on State Gov-
ernment. The heart of the bill
was in the reversal of American
tradition: a person is considered
disloyal until he is proven other-
wise beyond a reasonable doubt.
An investigation can be made
with or without a complaint, and,
in the latest form of the bill, a
secret report given to the State
Attorney General, and the person
then discharged. After the dis-
charge, a review is held, and the
discharged tries to prove that
there was no room for doubt,
The bill gained new impetus
after a speech by Governor Fine
before a group of veterans on
July twelfth, and when an open
hearing finally took place, only
about a fourth of the opponents
were heard. The bill was voted
out of committee secretly in Sep-
tember, and unless there is a
great change in opinion, will pass
both House and Senate in Decem-
ber.
Mr. Johnson then spoke of the
effects that the Pechan Bill, if
made a law, would have on the
school system. Private schools
would not be affected, but the sub-
jection of public school teachers
to the principal’s investigation
would stifle even the freedom to
criticize foreign policy or discuss
controversial issues. Teachers in
states with loyalty acts have even
been reprimanded for advocating
inter-cultural education with Latin
America!
Confidence in teachers will be
lessened, and the profession will
lose its appeal for good young
people. The honest and freedom-
loving will‘ suffer, Mr. Johnson
stated, for communists like spy
Gold have been instructed not to
associate with any questionable or
liberal organization.
All opposition to the bill has
been labelled “pink” by the: sup-
porting veterans’ organizations,
and, paradoxically, it is almost
impossible to oppose the bill with-
out seeming unloyal. For this
reason, and for political ambi-
tions, the legislators support the
bill, and are afraid to show any
opposition.
Communists would
caught, and it would be impossible
to fight subversive groups from
within or to oppose government
policy because of the growing em-

It may seem a bold venture to
add. one more translation of the
Iliad to the great array; but even
the most cursory comparison of
Richmond Lattimore’s new version
with any of its predecessors will
make one aware that it belongs
to the world of 1950. If it dates
itself (just as Pope’s and Bryant’s
and Butcher-&-Lang’s are dated
to their respective literary gen-
erations), the date here is our
own. “I must render Homer into
the best English verse I can

ly the plain English of today,’
says the translator; but he agrees

Northrop Probes
Inflation Problem
‘Dr. Mildred B. Northrop ad-
dressed a section of the. privatc
school teachers’ convention on the
subject “Interpreting the Current
Economic Picture,” Wednesday,
November 14, at 4:30 p.m.
Miss Northrop pointed out the
enormous government expenditure
in defense measures as the major
underlying reason for our present
state of inflation. About 85% of
the federal budget for the 1950-
51 season was spent for past wars
and current defense purposes. As
long as defense efforts continue
at the same or an even greater
rate, they will require large
amounts of money.
“Inflation will continue as long
as there is no way of reducing
the total spending by civilians, in-
dustry, and government,”
Miss Northrop. With the shift to
war goods, fewer goods are avail-
able to civilians; this is the heart
of the inflation problem. One way
to-prevent consumers from spend-
ing as much as they have spent
in the past is higher taxation.
Government control on credit,
wages, profits, and. direct price
control could check inflation. But
these measures are difficult to en-
force unless the public accepts the
necessity for them.
Uncontrolled inflation in the
United States has _ international
repercussions. Because this coun-
try is the largest single producer
in the world, it has an economic
responsibility to fulfill. Inflation
in the United States means that
other countries must spend more
money for our products, a dis-
turbing factor in balancing their
national budgets. The whole
world is dependent upon _ this
country for certain imports, and
foreign countries are getting less
and less for their money. If our
economic status reaches a state
of hyper-inflation, our interna-
tional relations will be seriously
impaired, because it will be im-
possible for other nations to buy
from us.
Miss Northrop pointed out a grad-
ual break-down of the concepts
of economic nationalism and show-
ed that United States policy has
become more closely integrated
with the economics of western
Europe. She mentioned the call
for help and support to increase
the standards of living in under-
developed areas as a part of the
total strategy of defense. We
have taken preliminary steps to
answer this call.
Miss Northrop concluded her
lecture by saying that the people
must decide how willing they are
to bear the burdens of taxation
and other controls, because other-
wise we can expect even greater
inflationary . pressures, than. we
have had in the last eighteen
months.
said,
Rhys Carpenter Praises Lattimore’s
Up-to-date Translation of the “Iliad”
is not merely “plain”, but rapid
and direct as well, and for that
reason is vivid and not turgid,
lithe and not clumsy. (Above all,
—and this is the translator’s
greatest pitfall—he is very sel-
dom monotonous). Poetry cannot
be ‘properly reconstructed as
prose and therefore Mr. Latti-
more uses verse; but he employs
“a free six-beat line” that is as
pliant as prose, unencumbered by
rhyme, uncomplicated by tradi-
tional poetic phraseology” Whether
the result is any closer to the
feeling of Homeric Greek (which
was intensely artificial for all its
limpidity, and sonorously deliber-
ate for all its speed of movement)
would be difficult to say; for in
the last analysis there is no mod-
ern equivalent for the epic hexa-
meter, no English that has the
quality of Homeric Greek, and
hence no possible literal recreation
of Homer. But this is no argu-
ment for not presenting him
afresh, since one may well ask
what percentage of the American
population now reads ancient
Greek, and add that it is quite
conceivable that a very sizeable
public will read Mr. Lattimore.
If we take some famous pas-
sage, familiar to all classicists for
its marvelous cadences and haunt-
ing bleak emotion, pitched to the
high heroic vein, such as Achilles’
pitiless reply to the wretched
suppliant in the riverbed, whom
he refuses to ransom, we may see
how much that is great poetry
Mr. Lattimore’s “plain English of
today” has to jettison, but also
how he avoids all turgid rhetoric,
mannered phrases, and specious
coloring :—
“Poor fool, no longer speak to
me of ransom, nor argue it. In
the time before Patroklos came
to the day of his destiny then
it was. the way of my heart’s
choice to be sparing of the Tro-
jans, and many I took alive and
disposed of them. Now there
is not one who can escape death,
if the gods send him against
my hands in front of Ilion, not
one of all the Trojans and be-
yond others the children of
Priam. So, friend, you die also.
(Why all the clamour about it?
Patroklos also is dead, who was
better by far than you are. Do
you not see what a man I am,
how huge, how splendid, and
born of a great father, and the
mother who bore me immortal?
Yet even I have also my death
and my strong destiny, and

afternoon or a noontime when

the Dacca Univ. in East Pakistan.
The United Service Fund com-
mittee, which draws up the slate

will go to WSSF would best serve
if it were all sent to one univer-
sity, and were followed up with
an exchange of letters and pack-
ages, in the hope of establishing
a friendship.
Tie Alliance Board and the IRC
have taken over this project. Con-
sulting with officials of the WSSF.
they found that the need for aid
was greatest in Asia, and espec-
ially urgent in India and ‘Pakistan.
Of the universities in these two
countries, ‘Dacca seemed most in
need of help.
There only 25% of 7000 students
have housing, and the other 75%
are forced to live like nomads, un-
rolling a straw mat wherever they
are at the end of the day. Health
conditions there are extremely
serious.
Bryn Mawr’s money will be used
either to set up a student hostel or
a clinic for tubercular students.
Dacca University greatly needs
this material aid; but more impor-
tant from the point of view of
Bryn Mawr, there is, in Pakistan,
a genuine interest in America:
what we think, why we act the
way we do. Bryn Mawr therefore
has the opportunity of explaining
itself to Pakistan students and, in

a rate far in advance of their for-
mation and eventually will disap-
pear if they are not placed under

mined, three-quarters of the

that there has been an increase of
four percent per year in the
