Wilcox Praises US Contribution
To Four Primary Postwar Fields

U. S. Attitude Contrasted
To World War I

Isolationism
Goodhart, October 11—In the

- second of the Shaw lecture series

Mr. Clair Wil¢ox, speaking on
“America Assumes Responsibility,”
presented four fields in which the
United States has definitely con-
tributed her resources for amelior-
ating condition’ during and after
World War II. These fields are (1)
International Organization, (2)
War Indebtedness, (3) Postwar Re-
lief and Reconstruction, (4) U. S.
World Trade Policy. This is in con-
trast, he stated, to the responsibil-

‘ity we failed to assume after the,

last war.
UN Stronger

Contrary to our desire for securi-
ty through sographic isolation
after the first war, the U. S. was
among the first supporters of the
U.N. after this last war. As a re-
sult, we have contributed heavily
to making it work. Although dis-
couragement in the UN has come
as a result of our expecting too
much in a two-power world, he
continued, much has been done con-
structively and the UN still has
made tremendous gains. Soviet
troops have been removed from
Iran, a watchdog has been placed
over Greece, Southern Korea has
had supervised elections and the
UN was instrumental in effecting a
temporary Palestine truce.

Economic Forum

Above all, through the UN we
have felt an obligation to present
international problems to the
world. The UN has created a World
Forum on Economic Problems
‘which contains nine functional com-
mittees and three regional commis-
sions. Its purpose, said Mr. Wilcox,
is to recommend to all countries
the way to form their national eco-
nomic policies that would be in
view of international interests, The
U. S. has taken the lead in its con-
struction and organization.

Twelve specialized agencies have
been created, among which are

Goodhart, Oct. 6: A three-party
panel sponsored by the Alliance
brought members of the Demo-

parties together to speak on the
major campaign issues. Mr. Lewis
Stevens, president of the Foreign
Policy Association of Philadelphia,

Paris Jaunt, Swim in Zuyder Zee
Typify Student Summer with NSA

by Blaikie Forsyth ’51

Last summer the NSA organized
a study-tour to give American
students a chance to travel in Eu-
rope at the minimum expense, to
learn something about the coun-
tries visited, and especially to
meet European students. One
group, known as the Tri-Nation
Tour, consisted of nearly one hun-

__dred_ students. from colleges and

universities all over this country—-
three was the minimum from any
one place—and ten Canadians. It
-was exactly half and half, boys
and girls. We had one leader and
no chaperones.

We sailed on Dutch troop ships,
whose use for student transporta-
tion was arranged for by the
Dutch government, and _ spent
about three weeks each in France,
Holland ,and England, plus a few
days in Belgium. The Dutch Bur-
eau for Foreign Student Relations,
the British National Union of
Students, the French Office de Tou-
risme Universitaire and the Bel-

- gian Student Union organized our

trips in their respective countries
and-arranged everything from lec-



tures to beer-parties for us. We
all went off on our own from time
to time, however, especially in
Paris and London, and in England
we had a free week, during which
most people traveled in the British
Isles, went back to France, or went
to Italy or even Czechoslovakia,
while the rest. of us worked in in-

ternational student harvest camps

in-England..-—- :

We traveled mostly by train and
bus and slept in everything from
hotels, private homes, and stud-
ents’ rooms to monasteries, Nissen
huts, and canal boats, in ham-
mocks. Sitting in French cafes or
digging potatoes in the English
fields, swimming in the Zuyder
Zee, arguing with Hyde Park ora-
tors in London, or getting hope-
lessly lost in the Paris Metro, we
had fun. We saw places and things
we’d always wanted to see and
everywhere we talked to people,
the great majority of whom seem-
ed to us very friendly and interest-
ed in Americans. Above all, we
made friends. We learned, among
other things, how little we knew;
we had a wonderful summer.

Stacks of Confusion

The Bryn Mawr College Library for the past two weeks
has been the scene of stacks of confusion. Campus criticism
and widespread complaints have generously augmented lib-
rary difficulties. We forget that the library staff, not yet a
month old, has plunged courageously into the intricacies of
the innermost portions of Bryn Mawr academic life. In this
short time it has had to master on a full-time scale basis
what we know superficially as the inside.of the Lib after four
years. Under these conditions tempers are sometimes short
and the tension high. At times, therefore, the relations be-
tween staff and student have left much to be desired.

Too many of us, however, are eager to shift the respon-
sibility for misunderstandings completely onto the already
overburdened new staff. It is rather for us to examine com-
plaints, to weigh their merit and to help ease the confusion
where that is possible. We must first of all fulfill our own
duty to understand and respect existing rules. Then we may
prescribe. wh

Misconceptions Clarified

Several of the present misconceptions concerning the li-
brary center around the Reading Room, the Inter-Library
Loan System, and the Reserve Book Room. For example,
personal property or books left on desks in the Reading
Room are the student’s own responsibility. There is no such
thing as a “pound” furnished with the cushions, notebooks
and fountain pens fiendishly collected from momentarily de-
serted desks or carrels. There is no such thing as a rule
against reserving desks. In the past this has been a senior
privilege; and it remains so. Although this year there is per-
haps more adherence to tradition than usually necessary (all
because of the large undergraduate body), underclassmen
need not carry twenty books back and forth from:the library
twice a day. If we have a paper, Miss Agnew will willingly
grant permission to reserve a desk for a two or three week
period. As for “decorations” around the desks, the rule
against pictures, calendars, stuffed animals and food must be
enforced in order to maintain a neat appearance in the Read-
ing Room. :

Inter-Library System

The Inter-Library System is still in existence; we are
encouraged to take advantage of the Haverford, Swarth-
more and Penn library privileges, extended to Bryn Mawr
students who present a letter of introduction easily obtained
from Miss Agnew’s secretary. The college station wagon is

Pallas Athena Invoked
In Lantern Night
Ceremony |

The annual Lantern Night cere-
mony will take place this year on
Frigay, October 15 at 8:00 in the
Library Cloisters. At that time
the Sophomores will formally wel-
come the incoming class in a tra-
ditional ritual.

Theoretically, the ceremony has
remained unaltered, faithful to the
proverbial Bryn Mawr conserva-
tism, since its inauguration. The
description, carefully preserved
and faithfully printed each year by
our esteemed predecessors on this
sheet, depicts Lantern Night as it
is intended to appear on the sched-
uled date.

The freshmen, “invisible in their
black caps and gowns”, have pre-
sumably mastered the art of keep-
ing silent after three weeks of in-
tensive practice under the well-
meaning, if somewhat severe, tute-
lage of certain upperclassmen. In
any case, the cloister has been ren.
dered dark with greater ease (the
library lights are ever eager to go
out) and the freshmen “file into
the blackness of the cloisters and
form a circle facing the west wing
of the library.”

The sophomores enter next; to

Students Recall Ireland’s Joe

In Classic Early A. M. Rounds

by Hanna Holborn ’50

Joseph Graham, known as Joe
the Night Watchman to genera-
tions of BrynMawr students, died
in the August of this year at the
age of seventy-five. His death has
brought a sense of personal loss
to faculty, students, and staff alike;
he had worked here so long and
had been known to so many that he
had become an essential and natur-
al part of life at Bryn Mawr.

Joe was an Irishman who never
forgot his homeland and its tradi-
ditions. In October of 1908 he en-
tered the service of the college,
where he remained, in the capacity
of night watchman for the rest of

-his life.

Fall Vocation Tea

On Wednesday, October 20, the
Vocational Committee is giving a
tea in the Common Room at 4:30
for everyone in the college. Mem-
bers of the committee will discuss
current job opportunities for stud-
ents both during and after college.
The purpose of the tea is to find
out from the students what kind of
jobs they are interested in, and
whom they would like to have :ome
to further teas to tell them about
these openings.

Also, students will be told what
the Bureau of Recommendations
does, under Mrs. Crenshaw. The Vo-
cational Committee hopes that you
will come and help plan an inter-





esting year.



who were present at Joe’s funeral
attests to the devotion felt by all
for this friend of many years. Few
of us had known anything about
Joe’s private life, but he was as
familiar a figure in the Village as
in the college, and could often be
seen holding forth at the Firehouse
or in the News Agency. The high

point of every year came for him

at the Spiritualists’ Conventions.

A story is told by a former pro-
fessor of once overhearing Joe in
a conversation with a group of
friends in the Village. “Well, Mr.
Graham,” said one, “ and how do
you like your job down there at
the college? Must certainly be in-
teresting to meet all those pro-
fessors and things.” Joe reflected
for a moment.

“T’ll tell ye,” he said, “there are
as many damn silly fools down
there as anywhere else.”

His story—particularly his ghost
stories, held us enthralled. Joe had

hundreds of them and told them ,
with varying degrees of probability ~

and ‘seriousness. The naive fresh-
man, whom Joe regarded as not too
bright, would be treated to the one
about the grad student who jump-
ed off Culmine Tayloris and whose
spirit is one of the most malignant
that yet lurks on the campus; while
those who better-appreciated his
point of view would get an account
éf his most recent encounter with
M. Carey Thomas (who in term-
time divides her days between Tay-
lor and the Library, but during
vacations relaxes in Rhoads). The
really elite would be entitled to
hear his lovely and subtle stories
of Irish spirits and visions.

Stacks of Confusion

|no longer available for transportation of books between Bryn

Mawr and Haverford. This privilege was abused when it ex-
isted. Now; however, we can still request books to be sent
from Haverford in dire emergencies. If the Paoli Local or
the bus is really completely inaccessible to us, the Bryn
Mawr Library can have books mailed to Bryn Mawr; but this
service is by no means widely extended to undergraduate:
for the very obvious reasons of the time, trouble and expense
involved.

Finally, the Reserve Book Room is the bullseye in the
target of library criticism. The new system of tall yellow
cards in each book has passed unnoticed in the present fracas.
Often the books we have needed have not even been there on
reserve; often they have been mysteriously misplaced o.
some far-removed shelf. The fault of this confusion musi
be divided between staff, faculty and student. It is unfortun-
ate that reserve slips were late in arriving from professors,
since a two-week default in reading for a course can easil;
mean a two-weeks delay in that work for the whole semester
It is likewise unfortunate that there was sometimes a pro
longed delay in the compilation of the reserve after the slip:
had been received. It is even more unfortunate that studen.
patience wore thin, and that the staff attitude towards th:
student was somewhat negative on several occasions.

Suggestions for Future

During the coming weeks, we will glimpse the working
of the new Reserve System. The crises of the first montl.
will dissolve in the wake of a highly-organized loan policy
The NEWS takes this occasion to congratulate the new stafi
on their adjustment during these trying first weeks and t
suggest certain safeguards for the future. First, we urg<
more prompt faculty and staff attention in making up the
reserve shelves. Furthermore, we propose an active Studeni
Library Committee, which could be set up within the frame
work of the present Library Committee on the Undergradu-
ate Board and which would work together with the librarian:

Eye Toward Election

The formation of the Democratic, Progressive and Re-
publican Clubs on campus last week proved something. There
are students at Bryn Mawr strongly aware of the importance
of the presidential elections, students who act upon their
convictions.

Interest, opinion, activity and partisanship, voiced in
such organizations, are good, but their value is conditioned
by the attitude of the groups. There are rabid political or-
ganizations in some colleges who are characterized by the
chips on their shoulders instead of the planks in their plat-
forms. We are glad that our clubs have not begun in this
way, but with the more positive purpose of promulgating the
platforms of their respective parties and winning adherents.
Last week’s three-party panel is an example of what can be
accomplished by. bringing these differing opinions together,
so that their arguments may be examined and compared. We
are eager to see a similar panel of the clubs of Bryn Mawr.
This panel need not be restricted to three parties. There are
other candidates, and’there is room for other “party” clubs.

Not all of Bryn Mawr is eligible to go to the polls this
year, but each of us must cast her mental vote. The role of
these clubs is to increase interest, to clarify the platforms of
their parties and to help us arrive at our individual decisions.
And in/November, may the best club win!

Proud Tradition

“In this generation we will set a standard of discontent.
We will say that man can learn to do better than he has; we
will say that he will meet new conflicts at least as often as
the old are resolved, but that he will always be able to learn.”
With these words, Miss McBride pointed our goal during this
64th academic year.

This emphasis on man’s capacity to learn did not strike
a new note at Bryn Mawr. Learning is already our proud
tradition, inherited not only from President Thomas, but also

from her associates on the faculty and staff...__-.-_--

os. During the summer two of the outstanding contributors
to this inheritance were lost by the college: Lucy Martin
Donnelly, Professor Emeritus of English, and Rufus M.
Jones, member of the Board of Trustees during most of his
life and Chairman of the Board for the last twenty years.
Closely identified with the development of the college, Miss
Donnelly possessed distinguished intellectual capabilities.
Through her the students encountered the great and were
encouraged to explore worlds of literature and learning
which she opened to them.

The contribution to the welfare and moral force of his
age made by Dr. Jones is significant. Teacher and scholar
in the philosophy of religion, and Professor at Haverford, Dr.
Jones was an active member of the Haverford Meeting as
well as Chairman of the Friends Service Committee. His
close connection with Bryn Mawr made his personality and
spirit a part of the college.

Current Events

Speaking on France today, Mlle.
Germaine Bree stated that “the
basic factor in Fyance today is its
geographic position”. Many people
still believe that the UIN is a solu-
tion to France’s problem and they
refuse to believe that we can not
avoid another war. .'Well aware
that the future can not be deter-
mined by their actions, other
French citizens have adopted »
stoic position toward a future war.

Mile. Bree continued that al-
though the war is not a subject for
conversation, “the economic prob-
lem is one that the French think
of and speak of often’. Except for
a top layer of wealthy men, every
class in France today has to con-:
tend with “precarious equilibrium
of the’ budget”. The spiraling
cost of living has resulted in a
great deal of restlessness.

Political Difficulties

There is also confusion and va-
cillation within the government.
According to the terms of the new
constitution the head of the cab-
inet must be chosen by an abso-
lute majority. Also, men are elect-
ed to the legislature by a system
of “list” voting. These two factors
have not only caused recent dis-
sensions, but mean that the lead-
ers of the three main parties in
France control all elections.

In national affairs the Commun-
ist and Gaullist forces join consist-
ently to bring pressure to bear on
the Socialist government in Paris.
This accounts for the “hesitancy

_|of. the.government-to-pass drasti¢

measures”. Mlle. Bree concluded
that the thinking people of France
still look for a new form of gov-
ernment. They believe that the
present political situation has its
roots in the nineteenth century and
they hope that. with peace and
time some. sort of Yovernment,
possibly social democracy, maybe
established. /

to the past record of the Republi-
can Party, its opposition to the in-

Act of 1933 up to the depression.

Barren Library Needs.

Pictures, Cushions,

Say Seniors
To the Editor:

The question of pictures and
other aids to comfort in the lib-
rary has arisen early this year. We
recall a similar complaint made
last year, justifying the barren-
ness of the main reading room by
the fact that it was copied from
an Oxford College dining hall. All
the Oxford dining halls are warm-
ed by multitudes of pictures on
their walls. We realize that pic-
tures and cushions in the reading
room and carrells tend to detract
from their neat appearance, but
they do express individual tastes.

The desks are loaned to us, we
realize, but, in the carrells
especially, this loan extends for
one year to one student exclu-
sively. So long as nothing detri-
mental is done by way of tempor-
arily improving the cold wood or
steel, we see no reason why objec-
tions should be raised.

Summer Hospital Work
Gives New Outlook

On Mental Cases
To the Editor:

A group of us would like to take
this opportunity to tell you what
we did this summer. Not because
we’re proud of what we did, but
because we feel that what we had
the opportunity to observe and learn
carries a message for everyone.
We worked at the Norristown
State Hospital—a mental hospital.

We. were not working with
“crazy people”, we were working
with people like you and like me,
people with the same everyday hu-
man problems, fears... our pa-
tients might have been you.

Student Unit

The 24 students who worked
there were from Bryn Mawr, Hav-
erford and Swarthmore. We form-
eda “unit,” similar to projects spon-
sored by the Friends’ Service Com-
mittee. It is hoped that more
units of this kind will be started in
other colleges and universities en-
abling more students, than just
those studying psychology or med-
ecine, to benefit by this stimulating
sort of work. Because we lived as
a unit, (“headquarters” were two
dorms at Haverford) we were able
to get a more comprehensive view
of the hospital and the problems
arising in our daily contacts with
the patients and hospital person-
nel. Numerous bull-sessions, group
recreation and the. comradeship
that comes through being part of a
unit, contributed to making it 2
most profitable and enjoyable sum-
mer.

We were officially employed by
the hospital as attendants. In this
capacity we had the opportunity
to work directly with the patient,
to talk to him, to try in a very
small way to help him adjust to
his problems, regain his .self-con-
fidence and to lead again a normal
life-We-werepermitted to attend
staff meetings, read case histories.
—the doctors . gave lectures on
mental illness and psychiatry. We
also felt the civic, if not personal,
problem created by an understaff—
ed, overcrowded hospital, which
because of ignorance and preju- .
dice, is unfortunately the rule and
not the exception in mental hospi-
tals.

It was an invaluable experience
for all of us and challenging in its
social significance. Because we
are so firmly convinced of the first
unit’s success, we hope to interest
you in helping us organize an even:
better unit for next summer.

he had had very little schooling.
He read everything—philosophy,

learned he remembered and used.
Shrewd, humorous, and with an in-

deeply concerned about national
and international problems as well.

period II in regard to war debts.
Rather than insisting that war
debts be paid and then making it
impossible for them to be paid by
raising the tariff, U. S. adopted the
Lend-Lease program after this
war, which provided for our giving
away war materials, food and sup-
plies to allied countries.

In financing reconstruction and
rehabilitation, the U. S. gave
money to rebuild the world. Since
the failure of the British loans, due
to England’s ’47 economic crisis,
America has continued to make her
terms more generous. As 4 result,
the total amount of aid given by
U. S. to the rest of the world is
staggering: $69 billion during
World War II, $41 billion to 1947,
$21 billion in 1948, and by 1952,
$15 billion for the Marshall Plan.

Our World Trade policy must be
viewed in that setting, Mr. Wilcox
explained. The reduction of tariffs,
the curbing of private restraints
on trade, and the establishing of
the Internationel Trade Organiza-
tion whose program is based on
commercial treaties the U. S. has
made with other countries, are all
methods of bettering international
cooperation. All of this shows that
the U. S. has deliberately under-
taken to assume _ responsibility
since World War II.
