Tribute Given
ToM. Swindler
At Symposium

Carpenter, Dinsmoor,
Richter, Finley
Speak

In honor of Miss Mary Hamilton
Swindler, a symposium was held
this last weekend, April 9, on the
general subject of Pre-Periclean
Athens. Miss Gisela M. A. Rich-
ter, Mr. Carpenter, Mr. William
Bell Dinsmoor, and Mr. John Hus-
ton Finley read papers on the
sculptural, architectural, and liter-
ary aspects of the period, during
the morning and.afternoon sessions
at the Deanery.

The archaeological museum in
the Library was rearranged and
augmented as a special sidelight
for the symposium. (Chief among
its exhibits were three fine fifth
century bronzes on loan from the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in
New York, for the day. An inter-
esting and valuable collection of
early coins, in beautiful condition,
was also on loan by Mrs. King. The
standing exhibits of the museum
were amplified and reset by the ad-
vanced students in archaeology,
under the supervision of the de-
partment.

The morning session of the sym-
posium was under the chairman-
ship of Miss ‘McBride, and featured
Miss Richter’s and Mr. ‘Carpenter's
papers. Miss McBride began the
session with a tribute to Miss

Bruneau Analyzes
Sartre’s Dramas

Wyndham, March 23. — M. Jean
Bruneay’ s lecture was on the plays
of Jean-Paul Sartre. This con-
temporary existentialist writer, M.
Bruneau pointed out, has, like writ-
ers at all times, tried various kinds
of literature, such as philosophicai
treatises, novels, plays. But it is
asa playwright that Sartre is best
qualified, and to his plays that he
mainly owes his reputation. In all
his writings, Sartre has expounded
his existentialist philosophy. His
five plays, then, Les Mouches, Huis
Clos, Morts sans sepulture, La pu-
tain respectueuse, Les Mains sales,
all have a philosophical basis, the
marrow beneath the bone, as M.

Senator Kefauver
Speaks at Assembly
On Atlantic Paet

Goodhart, Monday, April 11,
12:30 p. m.—The North Atlantic
Pact was the topic of the speech
delivered by Senator Estes Kefau-
ver, U. S. Senator from Tennessee,
at the Alliance Assembly on Mon-
day.

Senator Kefauver said that the
debate and consideration of the
pact would lead to the most im-
portant decision ever made in
American foreign policy, for with
the pact’s ratification, “The Unit-
ed States almost alone will assume
the burden of responsibility and
leadership”,

Briefly discussing the history of
American isolationism, with ‘such
highlights as the Smoot-Hawley
Tariff Law of 1986, and the Neu-
trality Act of 1939, the speaker
concluded that it was our national-
istic policy that was very much to
blame for the desperate European
economic ¢onditions which made
possible the rise of Hitler and Mus-
solini.

On this basis, Senator Kefauver
said, we, the people, must enter
with full determination into the
Atlantic pact, and into our role of
leadership.

“In signing the Atlantic Pact”,
said Senator Kefauver, “we are
abandoning the idea that we can
get along with the Soviets, and are

German Visitors
Discuss Problem

by Hanna Holborn, °50

Visiting at Bryn Mawr last week-
end were six German women,
political and civic leaders, current-
ly on a 60-day study and observa-
tion tour of the United States
under the auspices of the govern-
ment’s Cultural Exchange Pro-
gram. While here, they met in-
formally with Dr. Roger Wells and
Dr. Kraus for several round-table
discussions on their impressions
of American democracy and prob-
lems of German democracy. On
Friday afternoon, they were the
guests of Miss McBride at a tea
held in the Deanery.

The group included Lisa Al-
brecht, President of the Women’s
League for Peace and Freedom in

High School for Politics in Berlin;
Nora Melle of the Berlin City As-
sembly; and Dr. Maria Probst,
Bavarian state legislator.
Members of the group found
that their trip, which began in
New York and took them as far
west as Bloomington, Indiana, had
been strenuous but extremely in-
teresting. They visited colleges,
town meetings, courtrooms, city
halls, schools, and government de-
partments in Washington, took

Dra-Mu Presents
Moving “Traviata”

by Joan McBride, 52

Goodhart, April 11. The produc-
tion of La Traviata by the Dra-Mu
Opera Company was one of the
best musical events presented on
the Goodhart stage this year. An
opera in English, without benefit of
costumes, scenery, or action is at
best extremely difficult to present,
and the Negro company gave a fin-
ished and effective performance.
For the most part technically ex-
cellent, the singers also succeeded
admirably in giving the characters

“Antigone” Production
Directed, Staged
Skillfully

specially contributed by
Richmond Lattimore

Jean Anouilh’s Antigone is a
modern play, in which the plot is a
story used several times in classi-
cal Greek tragedy and known to us
through the only.version,which has
survived, the Antigone of Sopho-
cles. In relation to his awe-inspir-
ing predecessor, the modern play-
wright could do one of two things.
He could write an adaptation of
Sophocles’ play, “moderpizing” it,
carrying over but reinterpreting
or disguising the Sophoclean lan-
guage and paraphernalia. Or else
ne could take the Antigone-situa-
tion and, merely using Sophocles »
as a source of information, write
his own new play. Anouilh did
both. ‘When he characterizes An-
tigone as la petite Antigone, a mi-
nor younger sister of an amiable
beauty, or Creon as a kind but de-
termined man who hates his job,
or when he arranges a brilliant
prologue spoken before a tableau
of actors, he is making new drama
in the most authentic, legitimate
way. But the exodus with im-
mured, self - hanged Antigone,
drawn - sword - scene - reported -
by - messenger, is just unassimil-
ated Sophocles; and the unhappy
one-man chorys, first philosophiz-
ing for the author, then coming on
as a badly-interpolated extra act-
or, represents the dead hand of the
Great Play.

All this has considerable point
for a review of Anouilh’s Antigone
as presented by the French Clubs
vf Bryn Mawr and Haverford Col-
eges. The success of the author
in creating such characters as
would make the action of his story
necessary was largely the index to
the success of the actors who play-
ed those characters. The two big
parts, excellently conceived, were
excellently acted. Geraldine War-
burg played Antigone with perfect

Current Events

Common Room, April 11.—Max
Franzen, Community Director of
the International Institute of Phil-
adelphia, discussed the problems
of the million displaced persons
whom we are now supporting in
European camps. Most of them are
natives of the countries which are

noW fear A be persecuted
if they should attempt to return to
their homes. No nation has yet
taken any significant action in re-
gard to these people — the United
States, particularly, has officially
ignored their situation. The D.P.
Act of 1948 was of little value, for
its provisions make immigration
extremely difficult.

The reason usually given for
strict immigration laws — that we
do not have enough jobs for our
own people — is invalid in this
case, Mr. Franzen said, for though
there are many people without jobs
in this country, there are also
many jobs unfilled because of a
lack of qualified applicants. We
would greatly benefit from the im-
migration of the many workers
skilled in agriculture and various
manufacturing fields who are now
living unproductively in D.P.
camps.

Ask, And It Shall Be Given

Morning assemblies will begin as a regular series next
Wednesday at a quarter to nine in Goodhart. They will con-
tinue until examination time, and by next fall they will have
become a regular and unquestioned part of our college life.
We are confident that they will prove one of the most valuable
institutions. Bryn Mawr possesses,

- Miss McBride will open the first assembly with a ten-
minute address on the current criticism of the inadequacy

of a liberal arts education. Possible future speakers: Mrs.
Marshall, Mrs. Manning, Miss Taylor; possible subjects: the
thinking behind the new social science requirement, the Ca-
rey Thomas tradition, the theory and practice of scholarships.
A whole line of stimulating opportunity for expression in all
fields of thought and activity has suddenly opened up.

Minor decisions, like the question of gowns, are still to
be made. But the important and exciting step has been tak-
en, and the whole college may await the fulfillment of its
promise with interest and with confidence.

For Lo, The Winter Is Past |

The procession of the equinoxes is unending; again we
must say it, “Spring is here.’”’ The sub-freshmen are coming.
It is time to straighten up the smokers and to put away the
cards, food, tennis racquets, coke ee sun ven lotion, stray
eats; and typewriters. a it

Already the bald spots in the grass between Taylor and
the Library threaten to be permanent. It is time to stop tak-
ing short cuts across campus. Any day now the new grass
seed will be raked in and the relentless whistle warn us off
the grass.

The days are brighter and longer; this is the anit time
of year to remember to turn off lights when we leave the halls
and Library. Saving electricity is especially important this
year. More electricity has been used than ever before; the ex-
penses have equaled what would otherwise have allowed an-
other hall to be converted to A. C. this summer.

strong, in order to prevent a World
War III.”

As to what Russia will do in the
months after the pact’s signing,
Senator Kefauver- ventured that
the men in the Kremlin would take
a more conciliatory position by
playing up to the non-pact coun-
tries in the United Nations, and
attempting to build up world sen-
timent as an advocate and defend-
er of the UIN.

After the pact’s adoption, we
should have a limited Federation of
the nations involved in the pact,
observed the speaker, with the door
open for other democratic nations
to enter. (Senator Kefauver is def-
initely against the entrance of
Spain into the pact.)

In conclusion, Senator Kefauver
stated four things that we could
do to actually help carry out our
foreign policy more efficiently:

Establish a legislative-executive
liaison committee, consisting of
cabinet members, presidential ad-
visors, and policy leaders in Con-
gress.

Initiate report and question per-

iods on the chamber floors, where
the heads of the departments can
report on their policies, and be
questioned about them.
Allow the House of Representa-
tives to participate in the ratifica-
tion of treaties and reduce the
number of votes necessary for rat-
ification from two-thirds of the
Senate, to a majority of each
House.

The people should insist that we
-secure’the™ very” best brains of
young men and women available
for various government depart-
ments. To this end, salaries and
civil service rules might be revised,
and schools of foreign affairs (per-
haps some sponsored by the gov-
ernment) established.

Before his election to the Senate
in 1948, after a dynamic and hard
campaign, Senator Kefauver served
as a member of the U.S. House of
Representatives for five terms. As
a Representative, he was a member
of the Committee on the Judiciary,
and of the Select Committee of
Small Businesses; he also served
as Chairman of the House sub-

concentration in American busi-

understanding; her performance

was quiet, sincere, and humane, her
motions and timing unobtrusively

expert. Frederick Exton as Creon

gave a less finished performance,
partly because of an over-zealous
prompter who prompted him re-
lentlessly, but he was overwhelm-
ingly convincing and dignified. The
part demands depth, and he gave
it. Three very well-imagined min-
or parts—Prologue, Nourrice, Is-
mene—were beautifully played by
Jacques Van den Heuvel, Claireve
Grandjouan, and Francine du Ples-
six. Others were not so fortunate.
The three guards or policemen
(what was Creon anyway, roi or
chef?) did their best under trying

circumstances. Michel Barrat was

adequate to his minor part of He-
mon. John Davison (Messager)
had, I have suggested, a not very
credible catastrophe to report, but
I thought his soft-voiced recital
was good. Lee Haring, who has

given many good performances,
had the thinnest time of all as the
one-man chorus,:and he did seem
to be having trouble with his lines.

All in all, this was a most inter-
esting ‘piece, maturely directed,
staged, and acted, a performance a
little bumpy at times through lan-
guage-trouble, but always intelli-
gent and often excellent. We are
grateful to the French Clubs for
undertaking such a challenging and
difficult task and performing it so
well.

field.

‘Miss Nugent discussed the begin-
ner and her search for a job, and
stressed the irfportance of the abil-
ity to type. Also, she advised,
“Don’t be afraid to use any pull that
you may have. Everyone else does
too.” The glamour present in mag-
azine jobs, is also tempered with a
lot of hard, routine work, and you
have to be able to do “more than
what’s expected of you.” ‘Then,
urging the applicant for a job in
this field to write a letter enclosing
a resume of herself first, rather
than waste time tramping the
streets, Miss Nugent closed with
the promising note that “If you get
in you'll enjoy it.”

“Your college major doesn’t
make too much difference in job ap-
plication,” said Miss Ferrer, who
mentioned the openings in the
weekly magazine field. The import-
ance of extra-curricular activities,
and the ability to sell yourself
mean more. Firmly recommending
that the novice never turn down
any job that looks dull or profitless
at first, Miss Ferrer then proceed-
ed to tell some anecdotes from her
experience as a Newsweek editorial
assistant. “Pick up as much ex-
perience during the summer. that],
you can work, work | up your ideas
and don’t be afraid to present
them” was her final advice.

The contraction of many metro-
politan newspapers has left many
reporters without jobs, and there-
fore opportunities in the daily
newspaper are fewer, and previous
experience is very helpful, said
Miss Oulahan. Reading every job
sheet, accepting copy girl positions
at first, and being generally inter-.

jested in newspaper work were the

general prerequisites she suggest-
ed. Concluding with the opinion
that any social science would be a
good preparatory major for this
field, Miss Oulahan affirmed the be-

Miss Swindler Honored
At Archaeol. Symposium.

Continued from Page 1

Swindler, as being one of the prac-
tically extinct group of those who
are at once true scholars and un-
derstanding teachers; she announc-.
ed also the determination of Miss:
Swindler’s former students to raise.
funds for a scholarship in her hon-.
or, to enable some future under-.
graduate to continue her work in
archaeology.

Miss Richter’s paper was entitled
‘Pheidias and the Formation of An.
Attic Sculptural Style”; in it, she.
made the point which was repeated
in different contexts by the other
papers on the spatial arts: that the.
sculptural style of the pre-Peri-.
cleans was marked by a certain in-
tensity and vigor which might lead.
to the expectation of the develop-
ment of a stylistic naturalism. In.
its place, however, came the “class-.
ical”, an utter balance tinged with
divinity, and the naturalistic style.
was delayed in its appearance for
almost a century. “Pheidias”, said.
Miss Richter, “was the high initiat-
or of the Greek classical style. .
He was able to put the invisible.
into visible form.”

Mr. Carpenter followed Miss.
Richter with a paper on Attic Re-
lief Sculpture. Declaring that he.
found himself forced into the posi-..
tion of the man who wrote on
snakes in Ireland, he stressed the..
absence of any relief sculpture in. ©
Athens from the period just after-
the Persian invasion until just be-..
fore the time of the Peloponnesian.
War. Taking Periclean relief sculp-
ture as representing the ultimate..
goal of archaic work, he emphasiz-
ed the debt of Periclean perfection,
to what had existed before. Mr..
Carpenter followed Miss Richter in,
postulating the increasing repose.
of the sculptural style: “the later.
they were carved the quieter they:
became,” he said. Mr. Carpenter.
described the consummation of bal-. -
ance and harmony in Periclean
sculpture as that which “ignores
the tyranny of the instant moment

. the changeable and Grohanging
Lare-held—in-mutual-check-” oneal

Mr. William Bell Dinsmoor
opened the afternoon session with
a paper entitled: “The Dawn of
Periclean Architecture.” Parallel-
ing Mr. Carpenter’s line of attack,
he pointed out the relative scarcity
of important architectural con-
struction in Athens: during the
major portion of the fifth century,
but brought into the discussion the
work of Athenian and other sculp-
tors outside Athens itself. The
oath of the Athenians after the
battle of Salamis not to rebuild
what the Persians had destroyed,
and its repeal by Pericles, indi-
cated in part the reason for the

Appear in Regional ICG Meeting

Getting up at twenty to seven

empty stomach is undoubtedly not
the most pleasant way to start the
day, but, on looking back, it was
the only painful part of the ICG

Local in to Overbrook, and from
there drove to Beaver. ‘Scheduled

Promotion

Dr. Felix Gilbert, a member of
the History Department of Bryn
Mawr, has been advanced to a full
Professor.

Senator, and the Hon. Wallace
Chadwick, former member of the
House of Representatives.

ICG this year is taking the form
of a state legislature, and so com-
mittee meetings were next on the
agenda. There the bills were in-
troduced, praised, criticized, amen-
ded, and finally either passed or
killed. This, however, was only the
first hurdle—each committee could
only report out three bills, when
anywhere from four to ten were in-
troduced. Whether the personal
charm of the Bryn Mawr delegates
or the excellence of their bills was
the decisive factor jt is hard to say,
but the fact was that all but one of
the Bryn Mawr bills were reported
out of committee, to everyone’s
great delight.

Lunch At Last

Lunch came next, last-minute
promises were made, as active cam-
paigning was carried on for the of-
fice of Speaker of the afternoon
session, and everyone tried to find
out how their friends’ bills had
come through. The afternoon ses-
sion finally began, and committee
reports were presented to the
whole conference, for acceptance
or rejection. Here Robert’s Rules
of Parliamentary [Procedure were
strictly followed, and woe betide
anyone who had not brushed up on
them, for she might as well not
have been there, for all she could
understand .

,,During the course of the after-
noon, a violent argument arose
over the merits of two-lane versus
three-lane highways, a bill was in-
troduced which would establish
race tracks, the profits from which
were to go to veterans affairs, and
we heard an impassioned speech
against birth control when a bill
advocating sex education in all
public high schools was thrown
open for debate. At five-fifteen the
conference ended, and the last
problem was that of finding trans-
portation back to Bryn Mawr,
avoiding the train if possible.

Free Rides Home

Rides were offered freely, and
many a car owner found himself
faced with the prospect of having
to put a couple of his passengers
in the baggage trunk. Whether
anyone resorted to this or not I
don’t know, but I do know that we
took the most devious back route
possible, to avoid any policeman
who might object to a car which
had four in the front seat as well
as four in the back. We all finally
got back to Bryn Mawr, and agreed
that the day had been well worth-
while. As one delegate said, “It
was wonderful, and just as crooked
as real politics!” The first half of
that statment is true—the last
half might be considered open to



doubt,



Rare Book Room Now Exhibits
Protraits of Keats by Severn

by Gwynne. Williams °50

The Rare Book Room is current-
ly exhibiting some portraits of
Keats by John Severn, one of his
closest friends. They were loaned
to the college by Miss Caroline
Newton. The most well-known
“portrait of portraits,” the Death-
Bed Portrait, was first. reproduced
-in The Magnificent Farce, written
by Miss Newton’s father. This por-
trait, “the most moving and spirit-
ual of them all,” was done in water
colors by Mr. Severn a week or so
before Keats’ death. “Quiet has
settled over the troubled counten-
ance, and strands of wet hair lie
disheveled upon the poet’s forehead

she excepts this one, observing

‘|that “here Severn rose beyond him-

self into real tenderness and
truth.” ,

Two other reproductions are ex-
hibited: one, a pen and ink “re-
flective,” bust-length portrait of

the poet seated with his chin rest-

ing on his left hand... “his gaze|
elsewhere seemingly pondering on}

a passage,” was given by Keats to
Fanny Brawn before his departure
to Italy. The other, “The Lost Por-
trait,” of the poet with his head

leaning on his right hand, is a}
little-known portrait. The original, |

in sepia, wash, and colored cray-

ons, has disappeared. It must have:
revealed the color of Keats’ hair}

Nostalgic ’52 Sings ‘Limbo’ Hits,
Reviews Plot for Miss McBride

By Barbara Joelson, ’52—

The Freshman class _ presented
several numbers from “Out on a
Limbo” at a tea which they held
for Miss McBride on last Thurs-
day. The purpose was to give her
an idea of what Freshman show
was like, since she was not here
for the actual performance. After
tea and cookies were served, the
“show” started. The details of the

-|plot and the stage decor were

sketched in by Pat Onderdonk, who
directed the show. The songs se-
lected from Act I. were: “I Saw
Stars,” “The Prohibition Song,”
“The Dramatic Entrance Song,’
“Good-Bye Bryn Mawr, We’ve Had
Enough,” and “I Drink to You.”
“The \U.S.S.R. Blues” and _ the
“Poker Game” were sung from Act
II, and from Act III: “The Loot
Song,” “Please Make Me a Man,”
and “A Star, a Smile, and a Song.”
The high spots then, as previously,

individuality and in imparting their
emotions to the audience. As the
libretto of an English translation
cannot help seeming a bit ridicu-
lous, and evening dress often stifles
the credibility of the characters,
this was indeed a remarkable feat,
and was accomplished by the spirit-
ed rendering of Verdi’s score and
the manner and facial expressions
of the principals.

Elizabeth Walker, “Violetta,”
was blessed with a lovely and gen-
erally true voice and warmed up
to her role constantly to the last
act, when she and Joseph Lips-
comb, “Alfredo,” presented a death
scene that was both musically
beautiful and dramatically moving.
In this scene the opera did not suf-
fer from the English translation;
in fact, the lyrics seemed well-suit-
ed to the music and the mood of
the action. Lipscomb was excellent
throughout, possessing a full-
throated, mellow voice and a pleas-
ing, and convincing stage manner.
Especially to be commended was
the chorus, which sang with vigor
and melody. What endeared La
Traviata even more to the audience
was that every word of the princi-
pals and almost all the choral lyr-
ics could be understood. This is an
especially essential effect in a con-
cert version of an opera, but it is
one all too rarely achieved. Special
praise must be given to the con-
ductor, Henri Elkan.

As a curtain-raiser, the company
presented Study, by Prokofiev, a
ballet in threeyscenes. The dance,
like Prokofiev’s music, was often
without appeal. In many instances
it seemed closer to modern dance
than ballet. One of the most de-
lightful parts of the evening was
the performance of Ronald Arnold,
the little boy who danced the prin-
cipal role. The accompanist, Shir-
ley Levine ,did nobly with a diffi.
cult task.

Equal to the musical skill of the
company, in my estimation, was
the spirit in which they presented
the program. They knew the mu-
sic and seemed to love it, and the
opera was made even more beauti-
ful by their enthusiasm. If the ap-

‘|plause of the full house Monday

‘THE COLLEGE NEWS



The class and hall basketball
games were played with great
spirit and enthusiasm this year.
The final results of the class
games were hard to decide on, due
to various’ misunderstandings
about players playing on both A
and B teams. It was decided ia
the end that the Junior team, the
Sophomore A team, and the Fresh-
man A team had_ tied for first
phace, each winning four games.
The main scorers were: Seniors—
Hackney and Bell, Juniors—Abel,
Swope, Chambers, and Wickham,
Sophomores—Blackwood, Cox, and
Holmes, Freshmen — Mulligan,
Dempwolf, and Ritter. The class

managers this year were: Pat
Ransom—Senior, Dory Chambers
and Lenci Abel — Junior, Janie

Stone and Jane De Armand —
Sophomore, and Ann _ Ritter —
Freshman. The hall. basketball
championship was won by Rock,
incidentally for the third consecu-
tive year, and Pem West was run-
ner up.

The Seniors and Juniors tied for
first place in the class swimming
meet, with the Sophomores and
Freshmen in second and _ third
place.

_Now that spring is finally here,
eager (Lacrosse players may be
seen practicing feverishly, regard-
less of cold weather, or slippery

6th, Miss Margaret Boyd and Miss
Mary Stenning, both members of
the All-England Touring Team,

Lacrosse ‘Squad. After dinner they
held an informal discussion on the
rules and history of the game.
They were very encouraging, and
felt that our squad had very good
possibilities this year. The Eng-
lish played an exhibition game the
next day against the All-Philadel-
phia Lacrosse Team, and gave us
all a great opportunity to watch
a smooth and very professional
game.

At the Basketball Tea Monday,
April 11, Emily Townsend and Sue
Savage were elected next year’s
co-captains, Polly Porter, manag-
er, and Claire Liachowitz, assistant
manager.

The Badminton squad held their

ing. It was exhausting at first,
however, they said. They had to
listen to endless talks, made dif-
ficult by always having to concen-
trate on the English, and they
found the schedule somewhat over-

-whelming. They found the United

States to be quite different from:
what they had expected; Mrs. Ley
attributed this partly to
American press in the form of
American magazines which are
sent to Germany and which give
a very lopsided picture of a thor-
oughly modern and _ streamlined

way of life.
Mrs. Ley, who comes from Bre-
men, said that she had also been
very much surprised at the small
number of women participating in
political affairs in America; in
Germany, she declared, at least
five and sometimes ten per cent
of the members of the parliament
are women, and this number was
even larger before the war. But
she was impressed by the freedom
of discussion present in American
town meetings and in the Amer-
ican press. In Germany, she said,
there is no party press at all; all
newspapers have to be licensed by
the military government and are
limited also by an_ insufficient
amount of paper. In Bremen, a city
of 450,000 people, there are only
two newspapers, each published
three times a week.
Mrs. Ley, who has a son in medi-
cal school, said that the present
generation of students, although
extremely eager’to learn, are un-
accustomed to political discusgien
and are only gradually beginning
to take part in such affairs. She
said also that living conditions in
Germany, in spite of increased
ration allotments of food, are still
very bad; the greatest problems
are a lack of protein in diet and
a serious clothing shortage, ag-
gravated by tremendous prices.
Mrs. von Campenhausen, who
comes from Heidelberg, said that
she had been fascinated by all as-
pects of her tour and was_particu-

larly impressed. by the difference
between German and American
schools. Here, she said, children
are happier in school and learn to
be citizens, whereas in Germany
they are unhappier, but they get
more actual learning.

Dr. Maxsein added to this pic-
ture of present-day German edu-
cation. She said that the number
of students who want to study is
so large that it has to be cut down.
She described the High School for
Politics in Berlin which is just re-
beginning and of which she is a
trustee, and talked of the great
eagerness for learning and 4 re-
newed interest in political: affairs
manifested by the students at the
school. The new Frei-Universitat
of Berlin, which is also just get-
ting under way, is apparently com-
ing along well, although it faces,
as do all universities in Germany
today, a very difficult selective
problem. But the greatest problem
in education, said Dr. Maxsein, is
the lack of opportunity facing a
university trained person; she feels
that there is little point in train-
ing for a career when there is no
chance to practice it after college.

The group left for New York
on Sunday, and will shortly return
to Germany from there. The con-
dition of their coming to Amer-
ica was the knowledge of at least
some English. None of the wonien
had known each other before; al-
though some were members of the
same parliament, they belonged
to different parties.

detail the method he used to de-
termine the date of building of
the old Parthenon, on which work
was discontinued after 480 B.C.,
and was ingenious in getting the
sun to back his calculations up.
Mr. Finley concluded the sympo-
speaking on “Pindar and
, Comparing and con-

sium,
Aeschylus.”
trasting tnem with reference to
background, style, and_ essential
character, he emphasized the fun-
damental difference in method of
thought between the pre-Periclean
and the full classical periods, the
difference between image and con-
cept. Pindar and Aeschylus possess-
ed to the extreme limit the pow-
er of using an enormously complex
image as the basic unit of thought,
not abstracted from its sensual
context. Mr. Finley claimed that
both Pindar and Aeschylus were
influenced to a far greater extent
than Pindar, at least, would admit
to by the new, strong, intense sel
respect and sense of individual
power engendered by the Athenian
democracy; Aeschylus, however,
according to Mr. Finley, approved
the democratic trend, at least by
implication, in his tragedies, while
Pindar clung to the past and the
aristocratic tradition. Finally, Mr.
Finley attempted to reduce the dif-
ference in essential character be-
tween Pindar and Aeschylus to the
difference between comedy and
tragedy, comedy as the pleasant
touched by divinity, tragedy as em-
bodying the extreme tension of the
moral struggle.

Mr. Carpenter, in winding up the
symposium, recommended to the
large audience of visiting scholars,
alumnae, former students of Miss
Swindler, and friends of the col-
lege, the newly redone archaeolog-
ical museum, the “beautiful cam-
pus on a beautiful day, or, if you
have to go... the Pennsylvania
Railroad.”

the speech of the student represen-

is significant. Not to believe this
would imply that man is not en-
tirely free, since he must make
use of means which are not in ac-
cord with his principles or with his
end. Les Mains Sales also empha-
sizes the need for a complete lib-
erty or none at all. This play,
however, is rather ambiguous and
can be taken either for its political
or for its romantic side. However,
it has philosophical meaning only
if taken in its political sense, It
is the story of Hugo, a young
member of the Politica] Party,
who, after having been the agent
of his Party in murdering a man,
can give significance to his action

denies himself the right to create his
own path of life, he becomes as
one of them. On each individual,
then, there rests a responsibility
for acting, since, as existentialism
implies, it is by action that he as-
serts his liberty.

Les Mouches, the first. of Sar-
tre’s plays, is an_ existentialist
adaptation of the Greek tragedy of
Orestes, son of Agamemnon, who
killed his mother, Clytemnestra, to
avenge his father’s murder. Ac-
cording to the existentialist ver-
sion, Orestes’ action was his only
chance of actualising his potential
freedom. In Huis Clos, another
aspect of existentialism is shown,
that of man’s relations to others.
This play, as M. Bruneau summar-
ized, is about three people who are
confined to Inferno, with no exit.
Under these conditions, it would
be very difficult to live “existen-
tially,” that is, entirely., within
yourself and only for the sake of

» existing.

The other three plays, written
after 1944, are markedly differ-
ent. They are influenced by the
writer’s activities during the Sec-
ond World War, and at the same
time, are still vehicles’ for ‘his
philosophy; from this, interming-
ling, M. Bruneau said, a confusion
sometimes results. These plays
have a realistic background, usu-
ally from the writer’s own experi-
ence, and their characters are de-
picted with some attempt at in-
dividual psychology. Morts sans
sepulture deals with the problem
of death. The characters are fight-

as ers of the Resistance who have
been captured and condemned to
death. Sartre shows how the pris-
oners, who are in a sense midway
betwéen life and death, have be-
come different from other men.
Their life is stopped and can no
longer be altered. Again here,
