Interpretations,
Precision Mark
College Concert

Combined Orchestras
Present Varied
Program

by Pat Preston, ’55

Precision and a delicacy of in-
terpretation marked the concert
given by the combined orchestras
of Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and
Drexel Institute of Technology in
Goodhart, Saturday, April 19.
Under the capable direction of
William H. Reese of Haverford,
the orchestra displayed very well
its capability of interpreting such
fine contrapuntal intricacies as
those created by Handel and Bach.

Gluck’s Overture to “Alceste”
offers a challenge to dramatic in-
terpretation which was complete-
ly met. The deep emotional pass-
ages were effectively contrasted
with the more lyrical string ar-
peggios. The work opened the
concert with a convincing display
of the competence of the combined

. groups.

In Boyce’s Symphony No. 5, the
stringed section showed an accu-
racy of tonality and movement
which marked its excellence
throughout the rest of the pro-
gram, The fugue effect of the
first movement was agilely execut-
ed by the strings and woodwinds,
interspersed with the bold deciara-
tions of the trumpet, which, how-
ever, seemed hesitant at times.
The remaining two movements
were especially noteworthy for the
excellent balance which was main-
tained between the different sec-
tions of the orchestra: the strings
provided a fragile, lyrical effect
the woodwinds a variance of ton
ality, and the brass the needed

A.A. Performances
Outdazzle’Slumps,’

Spark The Evening

by Barbara Drysdale, °55

The tear-jerking melodrama and
the Shakespearean farce present-
ed last Friday night by Actresses
Anonymous proved conclusively tha
where there is the good will of
people working together to create,
the way will be clear to produce
a satisfactory performance. De-
spite the inconvenient obstacles of
mid-semesters and papers—not to
mention the the bugaboo long
paper for Freshman Comp—and
one short week of rehearsals,
often held five hours a day, an ef-
fortless production amused and in-
trigued the audience.

Kind Hearts Are More Than
Coronets drove home to the audi-
ence the truth that kind hearts are
indeed “more than coronets and
simple faith more than Norman
blood.” The cast was extremely
well chosen and created the spirit
of the farce to the nth degree.
Jan Wilmerding, the young lord
who was married beneath his sta-
tion, was made all the more con-
vincingly British by her Boston-
jan (? 7?) accent. Portraying the
part of a male lead, especially in
a comedy, is never easy, and yet
George was never as convincing
as when he intoned with proper
sentiment to his wife, the former
star of the front row at the Bal-
let Theater, “Oh no, my dear, you
promoted me to be your husband.”
Eleanor Small as the newly-risen
Esther conveyed through her
clear, plaintive voice and simply
moving gestures the great suffer-
ing endured by a wife ‘beset not
only by a mother-in-law, but a
mother-in-law of the nobility.

The mother-in-law, a marquise,
was coolly and scornfully patri-
cian Roz Kremer, She summed up
most completely and finally her
attitude toward the family her son
had joined by the simple phrase

A Spector is Haunting Holiday
The Spector of Fond Memory

by Claire Robinson, 54

There is a story told about a
famous French dressmaker, known
for her taste and style, who never
felt that she looked well. “For
you see,” she would say, “although
the total effect may be highly sat-
isfactory to everyone else, I worry
about whether the seams are well
sewn—perhaps I know myself too
well.”

And perhaps ‘Bryn Mawrters
know Bryn Mawr too well ever to
be fully satisfied with any article
about their college. Nevertheless,
the newest feature on Bryn Mawr,
appearing in Holiday magazine,
leaves—if not everything, at least
much—to be desired. The chief
disappointment is not in what
Emily Kimbrough says, but rather
in all that she leaves unsaid. The
article is without question well
written—but it is misdirected in
focus.

The photographs are not of the
best: (although the beautiful shot
of Mr. Morris with French class is
practically worth the price of the

issue), the snap of May Day is!



certainly not a good one—surely
a better selection could have been
made from the many pictures
taken last year. The Library
photograph is excellent—but why
are there no photographs of Lan-
tern Night, Parade Night, Fresh-
man Show dance, or Senior Row
in Spring? These phases of col-
lege life are more important than
those subjects the photographs em-
phasized.

The article itself is a little too
much concerned with the differ-
ences in college life “then and
now” than in Bryn Mawr as an
entity —its atmosphere, its pur-
poses, its everyday life. The sum-
mary of the past is a nostalgic
and charming one, but the pres-
ent collegiate picture is not treat-
ed fully enough, and the transi-
tion between past and present
often confuses the reader: what
older customs have been put aside;
which ones remain an _ integral
part of college life?

Certainly, as the author points
out, there is no “typical” Bryn

Mr. Malin Warns
Against Curtailed
Expression in U.S.

“Risk is implicit in free speech,”
declared Patrick Murphy Malin;
“TI hate all dictatorships, whether
they are black, white, or red; yet
I protect their civil liberties, be-
cause theirs are mine also!’? Mr.
Malin, executive director of the
American Civil Liberties Union,
warned of the danger of limiting
free speech in an era when society
has mechanized itself to the high-
est degree in its history, when he
spoke in the Common Room at
8:30 Tuesday night.

Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty, and the nation must be
continuously aware that civil
rights must be protected. Mr.
Malin stressed the fact that al-
though the limitations of these
freedoms are long-standing under

Roberta and Prom
Join With Carnival
In Weekend Plans

Good times are ahead for al
those participating in the gay so-
cial events of the weekend of the
26th! First on the agenda is the
Denbigh Open House, called Le Pe-
tite Prince, and based onthe
French theme of the Maids and
Porters’ Show. It will take place or.
Fridey, the 25th, and will last
from 9:30 until 1:00, featuring
the Pete Cummings Trio from
Haverford. Another highlight of
the evening will be exciting enter-
tainment in the true French tradi-
tion—shows at 10:30 and at 12:00.
Original items of fractured French
will be posted at pertinent points
throughout the rooms, and there
will also be bridge, punch, and
cakes.

The first triumph on Saturday
afternoon will be the parade of
floats, and then—the Sophomore
Carnival will swing into full tilt.
The theme is Toyland, and, very
appropriately, there will be a
booth for selling toys, a Kiddies’
Corner for faculty children and
all others with youthful spirit.
There will be a balloon shooting
contest, a turtle race, hot-dogs
and many, many other diversions
on this gay afternoon.

And then comes the greatly her-

duction is Roberta. The setting is
France, the plot adapted from «
novel by Alice Duer Miller, and
the music is Jerome Kern—includ-
ing Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,
Devastating, and Lovely to Look
At. For those who cannot attend
the Saturday evening performance,
there is also a performance on
Thursday, the 24th.

To add the crowning touch to
this wonderful show there is the
dreamy, spring-like, romantic
Junior Cotillion. The music of

Spitz Presents
Stellar Evening
In Music Room

Skies Move Overhead
In Pocket-Sized
Planetarium

Throughout the country, those
people living near a planetarium
are the ones who are least likely
to see one, declared Mr. Armand
Spitz Monday night, April 21, to
a crowded group of interested
spectators in the Music Room of
Goodhart. This lack of interest in
planetariums was eradicated for
the many Friends of the Bryn
Mawr Library, faculty and _ stu-
dents who observed “An Evening
with the Stars”, Mr. Spitz’s dem-
onstration of his portable plane-
tarium, set up in the Music Room
under the ausipices of the Friends
of the Library. Included in this
astrenomical evening were two
showings of the planetarium, a
lecture by Mr. Louis Craig Green,

;associate professor of astronomy

at Haverford, and an exhibition of
books and charts in the Common
Room.

not. able to have them. Until a
few years ago there were only five
planetariums in the United States,
but now there are nearly seventy.

ue of a planetarium as a study aid
and as a teaching device for many
subjects, to the group assembled

“Roberta” Billed

by Ann Shocket, ’54

Roberta has pervaded the cam-
pus since the maids and porters
began rehearsing for the show.
The Common Room sends out
strains of solos and duets every
afternoon, the stage echoes with
the hammers and saws of the scen-
ery makers, the Maids’ Bureau in
Taylor sems to be filled with line-
rehearsers, costume-tryer-onners,
and song-learners, while the Rum-
pus Room rocks with the rhythm
of the kick chorus. Even the hall
smokers have succumbed to the
lure, adding “Smoke Gets in Your
Eyes”, “Yesterdays”, and “The
Touch of Your Hand” to their
round-the-piano repertory.

The musical, with script by Otto
Harbach and music by Jerome
Kern, is being directed by M. G.
Warren, and Gloria Von Hebel is
the song-director.

It will be given Thursday and
Saturday nights, April 24 and 26, in
Goodhart. The leads are numer-
ous and varied. After a few days
of near panic, Al Mackey regained
his lost voice and will be able to

turned modiste, while Ida Mae
Henry and Ruth Davis will play
the young lady whom he thinks he
loves and her over-bearing mother.
His true love (sh-h-h, she’s a Rus-
sian princess in disguise) is Pearl
Bailey, and Pearl’s cousin (sh-h-h,
he’s a Russian prince) is Jake Ro-
selle.

Another Russe in the _ pic-
ture is Pearl Edmunds, whose role
is that of a Russian night club en-
tertainer. John Whittaker, Bryn
Mawr’s favorite band leader, wil!
be, strangely enough, a band lead-
er, aided by George Bryan as a
crooner whose rendition of “Dev-
astating” makes everyone who
hears him melt. Louis White and
Louise Jones share some of the
funniest lines in the play as a
very British lord and a famous
designer, Roberta herself.

These principals are supported
by a singing chorus, a kick chorus,
(superlative!) and a group of
models in a fashion show. The
lines are quick, the music wonder-
ful, and if the audience has as
good a time as the cast is having,
it will be quite an evening!

Outstanding Addition To Bryn Mawr

Miss Eleanor A. Bliss has just been appointed the new
Dean of the Graduate School in the place of Miss Taylor who
has been appointed Professor-in-Charge of. the School of
Classical Studies of the American Academy in Rome. Miss
Bliss brings to Bryn Mawr wide experience in a large number
of outstanding activities concerned with the college and in
scientific work. In her association with Bryn Mawr after her
graduation in 1921, Miss Bliss served as Alumnae Director
and three years ago was elected a Director-at-large. Her
main field, however, has been science, and she received
from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine her doc-
tor of science degree in 1925, the position of bacteriologist,
and in 1940 an assistant professorship in Preventive Medi-
cine.

Miss Bliss has also added considerably to the medical
world by her research and important discoveries in bacteri-
ology, made independently and in conjunction with Dr. Per-
rin H. Long. She has been credited with the discovery of
what is now known as Group F, minute haemolytic strepto-
coccus, and has made detailed studies of the reaction and
therapeutic effects of the sulfanilamide compounds. Togeth-
er with Dr. Long she successfully treated spinal meningitis
cases with sulfanilimide in 1937; isolated a germ that is be-
lieved to cause rheumatic and kidney infections and whose
discovery confirmed the suspicion that the scientists did not
yet know all the streptococci bacteria; and proved that sul-




Flutes, Violin, and Chamber Or-
chestra. The chamber orchestra
played with an understanding and
sensitiveness which made the ex-
ecution of this intricate work an
excellent combination of balance
and interpretation. Wendell Kolos-
tanyi, violin soloist, interpreted
his part with a brilliance and
melodiousness which was worthy
ot the concert stage. Once again
the careful precision of the musi-
cians was shown by the work of
the flute soloists, David Hogen-
auer and Ann Knudsen. Their
music was done in a manner waich
did justice to the demands of
Bach’s counterpoint. A_ sensitive
understanding of the emotion of
the concerto was especially notice-
able in the second andante move-
ment.

Providing an interesting - con-
trast to the deep dramatic tonality
of the opening overture, Copland’s
lighthearted An Outdoor Overture
concluded the evening’s program.
The latter demanded the full ef-
forts of the complete orchestra
and gave it an opportunity to dis-
play its achievement of balance
between the full power of the or-
chestra and the light, gay inter-
pretation of the music.

adaptability was one of the most

Current Events

Mr. Gilbert Examines
German Unity
Problems

For Current Events on Monday,
April 21, Mr. Gilbert analyzed the
problems concerning the unifica-
tion of Germany that have been
aroused by the recent exchange of
notes between: the Soviet Union
and the three western powers, the
United States, England,
France. Until this spring the par-
ticipation of Germany in the Eur-
Community and

anl

opean Defense
the opposing views of the Soviet

Union with the other three major
powers has prohibited any action.
Russia has proposed demilitariza-
tion of Germany while the United
States, England, and France have
agreed to replace the Occupation
Statute by full sovereignty and an
active part in the defense of west-
ern Europe. Both sides agree that
unification is of prime importance,
but Russia did not plan the new
government on the basis of elec-
tions while the other three nations
demanded free elections supervis-
ed by the UN.

Then on March 10, 1952, the
Soviet Union created a crisis in in-
ternational diplomacy with a note
suggesting the end of occupation
and unification and the establish-
ment of an independent German
army, navy, and air force for the
purpose of defense. The three
powers’ reply on March 25 requir-
ed free elections for the new gov-
ernment as a prerequisite to the
discussion of any other point. The
last note to date is Russia’s ans-
wer on April 10 agreeing to free
elections but under the auspices of
the four occupying powers (which
would give Russia veto usage).

Tension

This leaves the western coun-
tries with a delicate question of
how to handle the partial reversal
of tactics in the election question
and the complete change in the re-
armament policy. The Russian in-
itiative creates many difficulties,
not the least of which is France’s
deep-rooted fear of an armed and
independent Germany. The Rus-
sians cannot lose anything by this
move, and, if their purpose is to
create dissent, they have already
gained ground, for many interpret
the United States’ refusal of the
proposal as a desire to keep the
occupation and so sharpen the con-
flict in order to lead to war. On
the other hand the United States
is trying to call the bluff of Rus-
sia, if it is a bluff, by bringing a
popular issue to the fore that Rus-
sia will have to refuse. There is
no doubt that the United States
position in western Europe will be
severely strained.

The determination of the prob-
lem seems very uncertain, but two
solutions were offered: Mr. Gilbert
predicted a balance of power with
a background of extreme restless-
ness, while Mr. Berliner brought
up James (Warburn’s gloomy al-
ternatives—either a strong Ger-
many on the western side that will
provoke a war with Russia on the
province issue or an independent
Germany that will sell out the de-
mocracies and side with the Rus-
sians.

Weekend Work Campers Prove Values
Of Communal Life and Creative Work

by Ann Shocket, 54

Several blocks north of Broad
Street, in the middle of some of
the most depressing housing con-
ditions in Philadelphia, stands the
Fellowship House, a_ settlement
house that thrives on a creative
anion of people of all national and
racial origins. Within Fellowship
House, every weekend, a co-edu-
cational group of high school and
college students gathers, and the
Quaker weekend work camp, one
of two in Philadelphia, moves with
paint, plaster, and turpentine into
the rooms of some of the families
living in this area.

Some of the group are experi-
enced in the ideals and practices
of the weekend work camps; many
are, as I was, a novice. The new-
comers often arrive with a bare
factual conception of the project,
and the old campers arrive with
the knowledge that the newcomers
will soon understand the spirited
communal work and life that
makes the week-end so much more
than a_ back-breaking painting
session.

All Kinds Meet

The group that met at Fellow-
ship House Friday night was a
varied one in background and pres-
ent occupation. Bryn Mawr, Hav-
erford, and local high school stu-
dents were. represented, with two
girls from a small town in North-
ern Pennsylvania, a boy from
China, one from Germany, and a
Swedish girl who works as nurse,
cook, and housekeeper in a New
York family and comes quite often
to the work camps. Our leader, a
man active in many Quaker proj-
ects and instrumental in the work
camps, united these fourteen indi-
viduals by his ease and interest,
so that by the time we got up Sat-
urnday morning, we felt a unity of
purpose rare in people of far long-
er acquaintance.

It is impossible to describe ad-
equately and still objectively the
conditions into which the campers
ventured Saturday. In groups of
two, armed with jeans, ladders,
paint, brushes, plaster, and some-
what frightened good will, we
stumbled into the homes of seven
different families, chosen for their
need and their willingness to work
with us. The co-operation between
tenants and campers varied great-
ly, but my partner and I were very
fortunate in finding a most eager
and cordial family which contrib-
uted greatly to the renovation of
the one room (about the size of a
single room at Bryn Mawr) which
served them as a kitchen, dining
room, living room, and general
parking place for the belongings
of a family of six.



The problems that we faced,
the sink with its single cold-water
tap, the piles of toys, tools, mag-
azinés, cooking» utensils, jars, and
bottles that had stood on dusty
shelves for as long as three years,
the ceiling which, when painted
green, sagged like the first tee of
a golf course, the walls that must
be gently scraped if the plaster
was ‘to remain standing after the
removal of six dingy layers of
wallpaper—all of these situations
and their alleviation were simply a
means to the sharing of a new ex-
perience between our family and
ourselves.

‘We gradually developed some
idea of the tragic effect of such
conditions on the health, morals,
and interests of our family. We
saw for ourselves the ice box con-
taining all the food in the house
and still half empty, the single bed
into which the three eldest child-
ren crawled every night, dirty be-
cause there was no bathtub, the
heap of rubbish that graced the
backyard and was eleared away
rarely, because the alley that bore
the name of Reno Street was too
narrow to permit any vehicle to
drive up and carry off the refuse
of the several families there.

Family Development

The other picture of the day
concerns the development of the
family; they raised their self-re-
spect greatly, because they were
working with people of a higher
economic caste and were improv-
ing their home through a kind of
fellowship that smacked little of
charity. Both our family and we
gradually loosened the very nor-
mal tension of the early morning,
and by the end of the day, we had
achieved a camaraderie that made
teasing and laughter and gay con-
versation completely natural among
us. ;

Our family is, as are most in
this area, Negroes. They are poor.
We are, as are many of the week-
end workers, white. We are, in
their eyes, rich. When we left that
Saturday evening, the difference
had been psychologically lessened,
and the community of spirit had
been proportionately increased.
Whether or nol tne house stays
clean until we go back to visit
them, the spirit that pervaded the
renovation will, I am sure, still be
strong.

On one wall of a room in the
Fellowship House are painted the
words that to me are symbolic of
the weekend work camp and the
need of man for man on which
are based so many of its activi-
ties. The quotation on that wall
says, “The river ran crooked be-
cause it ran alone.”



Usual Hysteria Displayed by Students
Assembled for Perennial Hygiene Exam

by Caroline Warran, ’55

It is 7:25 p. m. on Wednesday
evening, April 16, 1952 when you
walk into Taylor Hall. There is a
crowd of girls standing around in
the main hall talking, laughing.
You walk into (Room F and see a
plentiful supply of blue books
stacked on the professor’s desk. A
few girls are sitting at desks, du-
tifully keeping one seat between
them. Can this be an exam? Oh,
no, people are too cheerful.

‘yen you hear someone say, “If
I don’t pass this time, I don’t
know what I'll do. I only have one
more chance.”

On second thought, maybe it is
an exam but it certainly isn’t like
the last one you took.

A girl walks up and pleads,
“Tell me all that you know about
mental hygiene. Please, I’ve got
to pass.”

Now, it comes back to you. Yes,
you went to three lectures on



hygiene . Vaguely, you remember
somcone mentioning an exam. So
that’s what it’s all about.

“Please, hurry, they’re going to
start soon.”

“TI went to the lecture, but all I
remember is that more hospital
beds are occupied by mental pa-
tients than any other disease,” you
say brightly, patting yourself on
the back knowing even that.

“Somebody tell me quick what
Vitamin D is for!” moans another
girl as she enters the room.

“I'm getting pretty tired of fail-
ing this exam. I’m going to put
a statement on my paper that I’m
healthy and my family is healthy,
but I still get 52 on the Hygiene
Test!”

Amid the giggling and talking,
a small desperate voice is heard,
“Please, a little quiet! This is sup-
posed to be an exam.” A peal of
laughter is heard in the back of

the room as someone receives the



Modern Dancers

Test New Forms

The modern dance group is hold-
ing an open meeting in the gym on
Tuesday, April 29, at 8:30, to ori-
ent Bryn Mawr students to some
of the work the group is doing.
Their main interest is to further
an understanding of form and
quality through the medium of
movement.

The meeting will begin with
warm-up techniques and locomo-
tion, which will be followed by
three compositions illustrating the
objective factors of dance: force,
space, and time. Miss Helene
Savad, the group’s advisor, will
assign problems to be done extem-
poraneowsly. These studies will
show the extraction of a quality
from a given situation, by dem-
onstrating first the realistic sit-
uation and then an abstraction of
it. The group is more interested

Jin the form and quality of the sit-

uation than in the action itself.
The dancers hope to arouse an ac-:
tive reaction from the audience to
the quality developed, a sensitiv-
ity to dance as an art medium.

Students taking part in the meet-
ing ure: Lita Picard, president,
Ann Blaisdell, Sidney De Shazo,
Denise Dewan, Elizabeth Klupt,
Anne Mazick, Nana McBee, Anna
Natoli, Mary Vorys.

Unusual Technique
Highlights Display

Especially Contributed by
Espeth-Anne Winton

An exhibit of mono-prints by
Gwyneth King is on display out-
side the art lecture room. It has
been brought to the college by the
seniors of the History of Art de-
partment, and they hope that this
will be the first of many such ex-
hibits. The most interesting fea-
ture of this exhibit is the tech-
nique employed. The work is first
painted onto such a substance as
glass, and then it is pressed onto
the paper.._A-_variety of effects
can be obtained, and Gwyneth
King shows an understanding of
the medium and uses the cross-
hatching technique skillfully.

The general themes of the mono-
tones are monotonous, mainly
ghosts, cemeteries, and houses ali
of the same type. The group of
pictures shows a definite lack of
interest in color, since they are
all of a dull ochre tone. The com-
position of the interiors with the
ghost-like figures is a simple cu-
bic construction, and one picture
is scarcely differentiated from the
rest except in the posturing late-
nineties figure. In her cemeteries
a deplorable mood of sentiment is
achieved with little or no aesthetic
value in the tombstones. Gwyneth
King is at her best in the figure of
Death as a woman plodding
through the snow. Here the dull
colors and simplicity of form
create a mood in keeping with the
subject.

In the winter scenes of houses,
the use of the white and definite
colors breaks the monotony of the
lack of color in her other pictures.
There is a naive quality to her
ghosts, which gives them a rather
uncouth air. The strongest fault
of this exhibition of Gwyneth
King’s mono-prints is that she
found ghosts a pleasant subject
and lacked imagination to go any
further,

These pictures are for sale, and

Another shriek of laughter, hys-

OBSERVER

The quest for knowledge...
What is it? The avowed aim of
any student? The nebulous, insub-
stantial phrase so glibly rolled off
the tongue, four years or more
neatly branded Plans for the Fu-
ture. Hazy, unreal college scenes
in glossy magazines.

Do they see it in more concrete
form, those who lecture, secure in
the knowledge of their subject,
sure that they were rightly direct-
ed in their quest? And do they
see beyond the half-finished ar-
gyle socks, the bottles of ink, the
blase acceptance of the blue book,
to what lies dormant, or partially
discovered beneath? What do
those who give knowledge know of
those who take it? Do they real-
ize the mental gulp that comes be-
fore the knob is turned on a door
labeled “Office Hours: 2-5”? They
have heard the wry humor of,
“Wrote my year paper in three
hours,” but do they also sense the
hesitation that comes in the ex-
pression of a personal idea — a
personal theory set down, double-
spaced, neatly punctuated, in nice,
dark type? Creative thought that
must, because this is a place of
learning, come back numerically
graded.

We walk, sometimes with des-
peration, often without surety, in
a world of reading lists, mid-
semesters, dictionaries, outside
references, looking for the abso-
lute that these represent. So many
manifestations of this search!
Orals. Conferences. Depression.
The indescribable sensation that
comes from an “Excellent” mark-
ed in the margin of a slaved-over
Lab book. _ Always, always, the
books carried everywhere — to
class meetings, to song rehearsals,
to the train — words, theories,
snatched at before hall elections,
before a date, before sleep.

But learning is for us to
achieve, awkwardly perhaps, afraid
of the responsibility that is ours
only. Learning is hidden in the
folds of an academic gown, dog-
eared on a shelf in the Reserve
Room, alphabetically arranged in
red ink and black. Do they under-
stand this, those who teach?

They must, for it is from them
that we learn the hardest lesson—
the realization of all that an edu-
cation must be.

InMid-performance

by Frances Shirley, 53

_The Bryn Mawr Music Club
seems, in past years, to have made
a practice of closing its season
with a superb concert. The string
quartet that played Sunday after-
noon carried on this tradition, with
a program tailored to suit the
taste of lovers of Haydn, Brahms,
or Rochberg.

There was little opportunity to
evaluate the individual playing of
violinists Michael Applebaum and
Enrique Serratos, violist Alfred
Brown or ’cellist Donald: McCall,
but, playing together, they work-
ed almost as one musician.

The Brahms A Minor Quartet
opened the program, and was ex-
ceptionally well played. The tonal
quality was generally excellent,
and the mood of the players rang-
ed, with the moods of the music,
from quiet stateliness to restrained
gaiety. The timing, balance, and
modulations of volume only added
to the strength of the reading.

There was a sudden transition
to modern music with the playing
of a relatively recent composition
by the Curtis Institute’s George
Rochberg. The musicians played
it well, and it was obviously dif-
ficult, but the final impression was
one of lack of inspiration. The mu-
sic had a tortured quality, remin.
iscent of some background compo-
sitions for movies, or at times, as
one of ‘the faculty implied, of the
‘Youngstown Sheet and Tube
Works.”

The happy tone of the beginning
of the concert was restored, and
even improved upon, however, by
the performance of the Haydn Eb
Major Quartet, which was the high
~o'nt of the concert. There is little
a reviewer can say about the piece,
(there was no room for criticism)
except that it was a masterful
viece of work done by four men
acting as one virtuoso musician,
and deserving commendation on
every point.

Because it was the last concert
of the year, Miss Robbins, speak-
ing for the committee, reviewed
briefly the year’s work and ex-
tended an invitation to club mem-
bers to attend the May 25 concert
of Mozart violin-piano sonatas
sponsored by the Haverford
Friends of Music. It will be held
in the Haverford Common Room
at 8:15 and is part of a series of
Mozart concerts.

ful shrug), “No Eccoles was ever
born.”

Kay Sherman was most convinc-
ing as the not-so-ladylike sister of
Esther, especially in-her natural
(and expressed) enthusiasm for
big brother-in-law George and
little nephew George Junior.

Mr. ‘Eccoles, the father of the
girls and a humorously incurable
drunkard, was ably handled by
Adrienne Schreiber. An _ extra
touch of good local color was add-
ed by her not - quite - authentic
sounding Cockney accent.

Not only do the directors, Jo
Case and Carey Richmond, deserve
praise for the blocking and inter-
pretation of a melodrama, but
the entire technical end of the
production, from the costumes
and the carefully contrived hair-
dos to the Victorian scenery, was
very good.

° The evening’s second production
was a farce entitled When Shake-
speare’s Ladies Meet. They met
in the garden of Juliet’s villa to
give that lady advice on lové. The
choice of play was an unusual one,
in that it jumped in the space of
a few minutes from the wise re-
marks of a very sexy Cleopatra to
the much wiser remarks of Juliet
on the fruits and purposes of love.

Liz Klupt was a very young
and breathtakingly lovely Juliet
whose performance was certainly
more than adequate for a farce;
it would be an enjoyable experi-
ence to see her play the real

under the artificial celestial dome.
As the lighted “sky” gradually
dimmed to an illusion of twilight,
points of light representing the
heavens as seen under perfect con-
ditions became visible.

(Mr. Spitz then proceeded to
show a few of the variety of spe-
cific uses to which a planetarium
may be put. These included the
recognition of familiar constella-
tions, the amazing ability of the
spectator to see the heavens from
the North Pole or from the center
of the earth at a moment’s notice,



results) some of Shakespeare’s
and some of author Charles
George’s dry humor into the mod-
ern idiom. Irene Ryan’s was an
adequate portrayal of Cleopatra
(“Cleo” for short), Queen of the
Nile, reminiscing of her many in-
fluential boyfriends but finding no
advice of lasting value to hand
down to Juliet.

Bouquets certainly belong to the

Anne Mazick on costumes, and

effectively the difficult technical
end of the production, and, most
especially, to stage manager Vir-
ginia Randolph and assistant Joan
Kaufman.



and the more technical study of
astronomy with the use of merid-
ians and cordinate lines superim-
posed on the “sky”.

Mr. Spitz’ demonstration vivid-
ly showed the possibilities offered
by the. use of his planetarium in
all phasses of learning, from folk
lore to a most technical and valu-
able science.

In his lecture in the Common
Room which followed the demon-
stration, Mr. Green pointed out
“Some Astronomical Matters in
Chaucer, Donne, and Milton”. The
exact dating of Chaucer’s Troilus
and Cressida by scholars was poss-
ible only by the logical references
deducted from Chaucer’s’ astron-
omical references. The writing of
Troilus and Cressida was definite-
ly dated as the spring of 1885 be-
cause of the particular juxtaposi-
tion of the constellation Cancer,
the planets Jupiter and Saturn and
the crescent moon to which Chau-
cer referred and which appeared
at that time.

The impact of Copernicus’ claim
in 1543 that the sun, not the earth,
is the center of the universe and
the effects of Galileo’s telescopic
observation in 1609 which proved
this theory influenced Donne, who
was writing about 1611, so much
that he included Copernicus in one



of his religious poems on the judg-
ment of man. Copernicus was de-
manding admittance to a “very ex-
clusive” part of Hades ... Donne’s
opinion of Copernicus seems to be
expressed in the words of Lucifer,
stated Mr. Green. Lucifer, after
reading a long list of reasons why
Copernicus should not be admitted,
added, “... these opinions of yours
might. very well be true!”

Jonn Milton, in 1660, expressed
his conflicting theories of Ptolemy,
Copernicus, and others in his fam-
ous Paradise Lost. Adam implied
to Raphael, sent by God to advise
him, that the heavens were for the
advantage of those on earth alone.
Then Raphael expressed a modified
form of the Copernican view of the
universe. Milton seemed to be
saying, continued Mr. Green, that
no one should pry too far into mat-
ters known to God alone. This im-
plies that the contemporary view
of astronomy during Milton’s time
was Copernicism tempered with
the idea that man should not ques-
tion God. It also proves Milton’s
interest in the new astronomical
hypotheses being developed at
that time from the systems of
Ptolemy and Copernicus.

A second planetarium demon-
stration was presented following
Mr. Green’s talk.



Civil Rights’ Restriction
Sets Harmful Precedent
Continued from Page 2

in a global society, problems con-
cerning church and state, educa-
tion, judicial procedures, and “gov-
ernment by hearing” must be solv-
ed on the principle of process. The ©
question of setting precedent and
standards is by«far the most im-
portant issue.

“Civil liberties ought to be
among the least controversial
items in democracy; they are gen-
erally the most controversial, and
unfortunately, they generally be-
long to the other side.” They are
not the solution to every other
problem but civil rights must be
preserved intact so they will keep
she channels open for the solu-
tions we seek,

lege, will be given next year by
Miss Theresa Helburn, $50 for
the best one-act play, $100 for

How this book came about

They Went to College is based ona
survey sponsored by TIME, whose in-
terest in this group stems naturally from
the fact that most of TIME’s readers are
college-trained.

TIME is written for you and people
like you, people like the thousands of
graduates of the more-than-a-thousand
American colleges who answered TIME’s
questionnaire and revealed many facets
of their lives—from the courses they-took,
to their religious beliefs.

This mountain of data was tabulated
and analyzed by Patricia Salter West at
the Columbia University Bureau of Ap-
plied Social Research, then turned over
to Ernest Havemann, a former editor of
TIME and a specialist at making inter-
esting reading out of statistical material.

The result is a book of major import-
ance to everyone.
