BOLSTER

CANDY

Bolster Wins Prize
In Thomas Contest

Candy Bolster of the Class i
1953 thas been awarded the M. Ca-'

rey Thomas Essay Prize given an-
nually to a member of the Senior
class for distinction in writing of
reither creative or critical type.
Candy’s ability for writing is
further proven by the fact that for
the first month of this summer
she will be one of the guest editors
of Mademoiselle magazine. Candy
will be working in New York at
the Mademoiselle offices, planning
and helping to write the August

issue.

A trip to visit Europe is next on
her agenda for a busy summer.

Her plans for next year are unde-
cided, but she hopes to hold a
teaching position.



Marianne Moore

Receives Award

Poet Recalls Underaraduate Days

“We have made no effort to hide
the fact that Miss Marianne Moore
is the recipient of the M. Carey
Thomas Award,” said Miss Kath-
erine McBride upon the occasion
of presenting the Award in Good-
hart Hall on Friday, May 15. The
prize, from a fund raised as a trib-
ute to M. Carey Thomas, is given
every few years to a woman of em-
inent achievement in any field of
endeavor.

Miss McBride emphasized that
the award is given entirely on the
basis of achievement and not on
the basis of education; it is only
to Bryn Mawr’s honor that Miss
Moore is an alumna and a member
of the Class of 1909. She conclud-
ed her introduction by telling Miss
Moore, “You are very perceptive
and will realize how humble we are
to honor you, and proud to have
you accept.”

Miss Moore recalled her college
days when Feminism had not yet
been effected and was still a cause.
Miss Thomas, she recollected, was
interested in housing, health, con-
duct, and anything else of collegi-





ate or national concern; her “stan-
dard” did not allow the faculty
much repose.

What she especially remembers
about Miss Thomas was her en-
thusiasm and subsequent courage
to be misunderstood. She did not
fear to be unconventional. In the
poet’s days hére at Bryn Mawr,
daily chapel was éspecially enjoy-
able, for here Miss Thomas would.
discuss whatever she found of in-
terest in the world and thought
should be brought to the attention
of the students. Miss Moore re-
called’ what Miss Thomas probably
never realized; that her own chapel
attendance at least was rewarded
by the President’s remarks—she
had the habit of presenting her
vi in a humorous manner with-
out realizing it.

Taylor Hall is for Miss Moore
still as busy as ever; the Pembroke
dining room—Pembroke East where
she roomed—as Jacobean as ever.

In introducing her poetry, Miss
Moore said, “Judge me not by my
performance but as I am your ob-

LOIS LAWRENCE
Lawrence Named

European Scholar

Lois Lawrence of the Class of
1953 has been awarded the Euro-
pean Fellowship, offered every
year to give one student the op-
portunity of studying in Europe.

A psychology major, Lois re-
ceived the Hinchman Award in
1952, and she is receiving her de-
gree summa cum laude and with
honors. Her honors paper consist-
ed of a study on visual perception.
She conducted experiments in per-
ception upon Bryn Mawr upper-

classmen.

Designed to determine the re-
lationships between the meaning
of words and recognition of them,
the experiment was in _ several
parts. In one, the slides first
showed a light which gradually
changed to a blur and then a word;
the subjects described the shape of
blur, their guess of the word, and
how long it was before the word
was finally recognized.

Roesen Wins Prize
For Literary Work

Bobbyann Roesen of the Class of
1954 has been awarded the Hester
Ann Corner Prize for distinction in
Literature, given every second





year to a junior or senior on the
recommendation of a committee
composed of the chairmen of the;
Departments of Classics, English,
and Modern Foreign Languages.

An English major, Bobbyann
was also awarded the Sheelah Kil-
“oy Memorial Scholarship on May
Day, given for excellence of work
in advanced English courses. At
‘he occasion of the presentation,
Miss McBride quoted Dr. Sprague
who has described her year paper
in the Shakespeare course as
“ready for publication.”

Miss Katharine McBride has
announced the _ positions of
deans for the first semester of
1953-54. Mrs. Broughton will
be Acting Dean; Miss Fales,
Assistant Dean, and Mrs. Paul
will become Acting Director of

Admissions.

SUSAN LEONARD

Sue Leonard Wins
K. Gerould Award

Susan Cooledge Leonard of the
Class of 1953 has been awarded the
Katherine Fullerton Gerould Mem-
orial Prize, given to a student who
shows evidence of creative ability
in the fields of informal essay;
short story, longer narrative, or
verse.

Sue’s plans for the future include
hopes for a job in which some type
of writing will be required—per-
haps work in an editorial capacity.
In the meantime she is spending
time upon her creative writing.
She has submitted partial work on



a novel to the Dodd Mead contest
—including seventy pages of novel, '

complete character sketches, a plot

Historian Arnold Tounbee Delivers
Talk At Commencement Exercises

“The Compensation of Insecur-
ity” was the topic of the Com-
mencement Address delivered by
Arnold Toynbee, noted British his-
torian and author, at Bryn Mawr

The class graduating from a uni-

its life and do its work under con-
ditions that have been the normal
human lot as far back in history
as our records go. These normal
conditions of human life are inse-
curity, anxiety, and danger. All
the great spiritual and material
achievements of Mankind have been
accomplished under these condi-
tions.

Small minorities, however, have
for short periods at a few places,
enjoyed abnormal conditions of
relative security. In the United
States, for example, the middle
class enjoyed this relative security
from 1866 to 1916. In the United
Kingdom the same middle class en-
joyed the same security for near-
ly twice as long, from 1816 to 1914.



This abnormal ‘Anglo-Saxon’ se-
curity was very limited. First, its
geographical extension was nar-
row. In the United States it did
not extend to the Old South; in the
United Kingdom it did not extend
to Southern Ireland. Second, it
was enjoyed by the middle class
only, i. e. by only a very small mi-
nority of the population even in
the small areas where it was to be
found for a short time. Third, it
covered only the less important
side of life, i. e. the political and
economic field. It did not cover
the personal side of life, which is
the side that matters most.

It was security merely against
poverty and against war; it was
not security against death, bereave-
ment, sickness, sorrow or sin. In
these things, whith are the things
that really matter to us, all human
beings are, and always have been,
on a dead level with one another—
the level of absolute insecurity.

Narrow though the limits of the
English-speaking middle class’ ab-

Counterpoint’s Personal Work Shows Most Conviction;
Pieces By Bell, Price, and Bolster Please and Impress

especially contributed by

Isabel Gamble, Instructor
in English

The question arises, whenever
one approaches a college publica-
tion with critical intentions, What
is one to look f6é What do we
ask of these writers. Three al-
ternatives present thmese
the reviewer treats Counterpoin
as if it were the latest issue of
Poetry or Partisan Review, main-
taining rigid standards (and prob-
ably rejecting most of what he
finds.) Two: he reads as if Coun-
terpoint were discovery, or one of
the similarly titled collections of
“experimental” writing; he looks
for the daring, the new, the break-
ing of old conventions. Three: he
looks for signs that the writers are
learning their trade—are learning,
particularly, one of the most nec-
essary lessons: the meaningful use
of their own experience, possible
departures from it as_ well
as faithful recording. The process
of self-recognition is crucial: by
looking at himself and his own life
with an artist’s eye, the writer en-
ables himself to see others’ lives
similarly.

Of the three alternatives, it
seems best to choose the third, re-
taining the first in the background
for reference. The second, on the
whole, is out of court, since a
writer must first learn to operate
within a convention before he can
know enough to break with it in
any significant way.

contributions to this Counterpoint

Hail And Farewell

Many members of the class of 1953, although looking

-forward to promising jobs, careers, graduate school, or mar-

fiage, are sorry to be ending their undergraduate days at
We undergraduates, although proud of the dis-

Some seniors have received honors in the form of fellow-

_ships and awards; all have contributed a great deal to the
“school and have no doubt derived a rather full kind of pleas-

ure and intellectual satisfaction from their days here. Now,
though, as June ushers in the prospects of graduation, of
leaving, and of facing the world in a new light, we can recall
with pride the past accomplishments of the seniors and an-
ticipate their future achievements.

We have admired the leadership qualities and the out-
standing courage shown by our seniors and have often hoped
fhat we should be able to carry on successfully after them.
We hope that we can follow their example. When we are fac-
ed eventually with our comprehensive examinations, we hope
that we are able to take them with as much courage and abil-
ity and pass them with as much satisfaction as did the sen-
iors.

Their courage and intellectual achievements, however,
are not all that their sheepskin diplomas represent. They no

doubt feel/an additional satisfaction which cannot be describ-
-ed to one who has not herself experienced it. With four years
-of training in their respective fields and in the methods of
correct thinking behind them, the graduates are prepared for
the difficult road ahead. Knowing that they have lived up to
“the high standards set by Bryn Mawr is a satisfaction in
“itself.
_. - The help and the sympathy which the seniors have of-
fered us have given us encouragement; with their graduation
we feel a sense of great loss. Having them to help us with
our problems, to rejoice with us when we achieve success, and
to encourage us in all that we do has been a delight and an

inspiration. We regret that they are going so sdéon, but we
are grateful to them for all that they have done for us.

Classicist Publishes
Drama Translations
by Anne Hobson, ’56

For those who can not read
Greek but would like to enjoy the
literature of Ancient Greece, Rich-
mond ‘Lattimore has performed a
great service. He has recently pub-
lished an eloquent Afanslation of
Aeschylus’ Oresteia (University of
Chicago Press, Chicago, 1953).

Professor Lattimore has succeed-
ed in translating the tragedies into
graceful, mellifluous English and
yet retaining the majestic atmos-
phere of Ancient Greece. Because
the words are so well chosen, they
flow with natural grace and the
reader can enjoy the plays purely
as English literature.

The excellent introduction, also
by Dr. ‘Lattimore, explains the
background of the plays, summar-
izes their plots and makes it poss-
ible for a reader unacquainted with
Greek literature to understand and
enjoy the plays.

The Oresteia is a sequence of
three tragedies — “Agamemnon,”
“The Libation Bearers,” and “The
Eumenides”. All three follow the
history of the ill-fated House of
Atreus and especially of Orestes,
son of Agamemnon.

The translation of “Agamemnon”
has already appeared in Greek
Plays in Modern Translation (New
York: Dial Press, 1947), but “The
Libation Bearers,” “The Eumeni-
des”, and the introduction appear
in this edition for the first time.



deal with material close to the
authors; though these “personal”
pieces are not always the most
ambitious or interesting, (here
criterion 2 has crept in, after all,
slightly disguised as “an inter-
esting attempt”). There is, for
example, Irene Peirez’s “King of
the Mountain,” modest, scarcely

:| more than a sketch, but thoroughly

convincing within its limits; the
keen edge of childhood adventure,
a compound of terror and pleasure
balanced above hysteria, is accu-
rately reflected. “As Easy as
Lying” by Judith Thompson is
also an “observed” story though
this time imagination has extend-
ed itself to a rounding out of the
main character, deriving under-
standing of her private moments
from her public appearances. The
demand for a completely integrat-
ed story is evaded by division into
sections, and the effect is a little
too much like the black-outs and
fade-ins of a movie; nevertheless,
the violent denouement is well
prepared for, and Tootsie herself
dreadfully convincitig.

Similar to this story in origin,
perhaps, is Ellen Bell’s “The Yall-
er Diamond,” probably the most
impressive prose piece in the is-
sue. Once more there is an ex-
tension away from the personal,
but one feels that the story is
firmly rooted in first-hand observa-
tion. The dialect is sometimes au-
thentic, but more often slightly
off-center and therefore distract-
ing. The “point” is perhaps made
too explicitly (“That’s why you’re
lonely in a way I ain’t”); but the
story remains moving and full of
vitality. “Mrs. Towle,” by Kirsten
Rodsgaard, on the other hand, is
a competent, completely controlled



Joint Group Plans
Madrigal Concerts

Unknown to most of the sur-
rounding countryside, a small
group of students from Bryn
Mawr ~and Haverford has been
meeting weekly during the past
year to sing madrigals. The group
had its inception after a Bryn
Mawr-Haverford chorus concert
when a group of glee clubbers de-
cided it would be a nice idea to
get together for a weekly session
of madrigals. It was strictly a
college group until Mr. and Mrs.
Osborne of Merion became inter-
ested, and the singers now meet
at their home.

The music is all pre-seventeenth
century, and some of it has never
been published. It covers a great
range of languages, including Eng-
lish, French, German, Latin, Ital-
ian, and Portuguese.

On May 15, the group made its
first public appearance in the Ger-
trude Ely room, directed by Ted
Handy, at which time they sang
several groups of madrigals. Some
interesting musical notes were
added to the program by a con-
certo which was played first on a
recorder, and then on a modern
flute.

The madrigals have proved to
be such fun that the singers are

making enthusiastic plans to con-|

tinue their interest next year.



story, technically much surer than
“Yaller Diamond,” ‘but almost
empty of feeling. The pathos of
Mrs. Towle is allowed to evapo-
rate in a rather trivial and faintly
comic ending on the hackneyed
theme of the predatory woman. If
something more subtle was _ in-
tended, the author has understated
it too severely. The last of the
short stories is Virginia Weltmer’s
‘Pride Has Four Legs.’ Here we
never quite feel the concrete im-
mediate pressure of events; the
action is too much told about, the
narrator’s presence is always felt
between us and the hero. It is
doubtful whether Miss Weltmer
knows ‘how it feels to love a pig;
she knows intellectually how it
must feel, and this she tells us
with great care and affection. It is
an admirably planned story, and
the ultimate effect is touching; but
for Juan, the loss of Runt was
more than touching. Perhaps in
this case, imagination has strayed
too far from experience.

Loneliness

The major stories in Counter-
point are remarkable for their at-
tempts to convey the loneliness of
the ‘outsiders’ in society (or, in
Miss Bell’s story, mastery of lone-
liness). In this they show wisdom,
for the feeling of not belonging is
probably shared by all of us at a
particular stage of development,
and is therefore one of the most
usable of emotions, as these writ-
ers demonstrate. The handful of
stories, while hardly monumental,
is very presentable.

There are two other prose pieces,
where the mind which creates has
not succeeded so well in moving
away from the writers who suffer-
ed. Both these meditations, on
debutante parties by ‘Ashe’, and
the commercialism of Christmas
(‘The Last Time I Saw Boston’)
are aftermaths of disillusioning
*#piphanies. (But the experience is
not used; it is simply stated. In
both cases, we have raw material
only.

V. di Lexi

The Boston episode is redeemed
somewhat by its repertorial virtues

‘and sharply-noted detail; but its in-

tention is not that of the reporter
—this is a personal impression.
The pseudonym, ‘V. di Lexi’, pro-
vides its own retort: this is a
truth which has been chosen and
remains partial; it cannot be the
whole truth because it has, as yet,
no shape, and therefore no mean-
ing. The emotion of indignation
is admirable, but is not absorbed.

Of the poems, I like best Patricia
Price’s ‘In the Twentieth Year’,
Sarah Bolster’s ‘Augmented Re-
quiem’, and ‘Back Alley’ by ‘Civis
Minor’ (why all this anonymity,
by the way?). Miss Bolster shows
a nice word-sense and a gift for
sharp impressions that speak to
more than one sense. ‘Back Alley’
attempts more and manages to
measure up to its pretensions;
technically it is very adept, partic-
ularly in the use of asonance and
alliteration. Miss Price’s poem is
the least perfect of the three, and

the most moving; the second stan-
za is unnecessarily awkward, but
the first and third, despite a few
uncertain ph , combine direct-
ness with subtkety.

‘The Eternal Huntsman’ by Isa-
bel Nash is unst¥re of its intention,
and hence of its tone, but it has a
fine inventive originality, a pleas-

least three delightful lines, where
the meaning is not sacrificed to a
mere playing with images (11. 4-6
in Stanza 2).

Poetry

The other poems are less arrest-
ing. Mary Hendrickson’s ‘Advent’
contains some clear images, but
also some cliches, and is not help-
ed by the echoes of Eliot; one won-
ders, too, what Yeats is doing
there (‘Our days are dragon-rid-
den... ’)—an attempt at Eliot-
esque allusiveness? The briefest



of Josephine Case’s three poems is
the. best: the nameless stanza on
p. 39, with its fine phrase, “the colt

. on hooves that answer back.’
Her ‘Rondel’ is spoiled by some
meaningless inversions and an un-
fortunate bullying tone in one of
the repeated lines (‘This, I tell
you ...’). Diana Forbes’ ‘The
Hour from Within’ is marked by
an original idea and some pleasant
sound patterns, marred by tired
phrases (‘rusty servitor’) and an
attempt at a pun at the end which
does not quite descend into mean-
ing. ‘Brightness Falls’ has, too,
some good lines (1 3-4), but in-
flates too far a simple idea. It is
also essential to a rhetorical ques-
tion that it remain rhetorical, and
here one is tempted to answer the
question (‘did he think of leaves
...’), simply, No. —

The poetry in Counterpoint is
less satisfying than the stories;
surely there is more good verse be-
ing written at Bryn Mawr, and
one wishes that the editors had
been more diligent in seeking it
out. With all their faults, how-
ever, the poets must be admired
for their evasion of dampness; one
applauds Miss Case’s desire to
write a Rondel, the stanzaic pat-
terns of Miss ‘Nash, the tightness
of ‘Back Alley’.

All the poets show a sense of
form that is the first step to com-
petent writing. Similarly, in the
stories, there is a refusal to over-
state; the writers insist on letting

their action do the talking. One’s|

final word on Counterpoint, there-
fore, must be favorable; these writ-
ers are serious and modestly com:
petent. The magazine is never
quite what one hopes for; but one
is grateful for what is here.

‘normal security have been, anyone

who has ever had a taste of it will
be inclined, being human, to dread
and resent the loss of it and to re-
gard it, not as being the abnormal
thing that it really is, but as being
the normal state of life to which
the possessor has a moral right.

Historian Toynbee suggested that
we thave no moral claim to enjoy
political and economic security,
and that this abnormal security is
not the unmixed blessing that we
assume it to be.

There are definite drawbacks to
security. The enjoyment of the
abnormal state of life cuts off this
small minority that mporarily
experiences it from the great ma-
jority of the human race. It makes
us feel that we are ‘not as other
men are’; it makes the majority
seem to us inferior, almost infra-
human, because they are suffering
the common lot of Mankind from
which we ourselves have partially

| escaped for a generation or two.

This mistaken notion that we
have a right to an abnormal state
of economic and political privilege
makes it harder for us than it is
for the mass of Mankind to stand
up to the personal troubles and
sufferings to which we are eae
nakedly exposed as they are-—kc-
onomic and political, security weak-
ens our capacity for action, and
especially for creative action, be-
cause it tempts us towards the pur-
suit, of happiness; and this is, Mr.
Toynbee believes, a wrong aim, in
Spite of what the Constitution says.

Thérefore, Mr. Toynbee’s advice
to the class graduating in 1953
would be: Do not dread or resent
the insecurity that has overtaken
the middle class in the United
States and the other English-
speaking countries in our time. On
thé contrary, welcome it as an ad-
enture and an opportunity for ac-
ion, and as a bond between you
nd the majority of your fellow
human beings.

The rising generation in the
United States has to take the lead
in a World in which three-quarters
of the living generation of the hu-
man race consist of peasants who
are perpetually on the verge of
starvation. In order to lead this’
suffering majority of Mankind, and
to help them improve their lot, |
their leaders must have enough hu-
man experience in common with
them to be able to understand their
personal problems and to enter
into their personal feelings.

Suffering is the price of service
to our fellow human beings, and
happiness is the reward of it. Hap-
piness comes only when we give
up pursuing happiness as an end
in itself. Happiness comes as the
unsought reward for the love that
leads us to incur suffering for oth-
er people’s sake.

‘Learning how to live and work
cheerfully and effectively under
conditions of insecurity in one’s
own life is, therefore, the neces-
sary course of _ self-education
through which Americans in the
rising generation must put them-
selves in order to qualify for their
great mission of serving as the
leaders of the human race in the|
chapter of Mankind’s history that
has opened since 1946.
