Dr. Marion Park
To Give Awards
At Fri. Assembly

Travelling Scholarships
Will Take Grads
To Europe

The Graduate Fellowship Assem-
bly will be held this coming Friday
at noon in Goodhart. All 12 o’clock
classes will be cancelled in order
-that the Undergraduate body will
have the opportunity to hear Dr.
Marion Edwards Park present the
European Travelling Fellowships
and deliver a speech entitled,

‘Graduate Work in Administra-
tion.” The Faculty has not yet
decided whether one or two awards
will be given.

It is interesting to note that
Miss Park herself held this high-
est academic award, a European
Fellowship, in 1899, the year after
she graduated, having held the of-
fice of President of Self4Gov in her
senior year at Bryn Mawr. Miss
Park received her iA.B. here in
1898 and her Ph.D. in 1918, after
studying at the University of Chi-
cago (1900) and the American
School of ‘Classical Studies in
Athens, Greece. She was an in-
structor and assistant professor in
Classical ‘Studies at Colorado Col-
lege (1902-1906). From 1910-1921
she was dean of Simmons College
and in 1922 dean of Radcliffe Col-
Jege.

Park Returns

Miss Park ibecame President of
Bryn Mawr in 1922 and has been
President Emeritus since 1942. She
4s: now living in Plymouth, Mass.,
and this will be her first public ap-
pearance at the college since 1944.

Her distinguished career as an
2ducator and leader of this college
makes Miss Park one of Bryn
Mawr’s most well known Alumna
and her address concerning grad-
uate work in administration will
undoubtedly ibe one of the most in-
teresting to be given this year.

On Friday evening there will be
4 dinner at the Graduate School
to celebrate the award which will
be presented to one of the students
there.

Burch Describes
Scientific, 3-fold

Universal Theory

Philosophy Club Lectures, March
14—The distinction between par-
ticulars and universals is that the
latter must be understood before
they can be identified, declared Dr.
George Burch, speaking to the
Philosophy Club on “The Theory
of Universals.” Whereas the par-
ticulars can be distinguished from
one another by being pointed to,
the universals have to be described.

Bryn Mawr provided the techni-

“Modern Music” by William Bill-

enjoyable group of songs. The

Ropes, Polka Dots, and Wet Man
Mark ‘Foolish Notion, Rehearsal

by Claire Liachowitz, ’52

Gigantic Goodhart stage was
bare of all appropriate scenery the
other night, when Mr. Thon and a
crew of actors and actresses strug-
gled through a rehearsal of the
third act of “Foolish Notion.”
Ropes were strung in all conceiv-
able places, and huge piles of flats
loomed in the wings. A few step-
and-fetching stage hands worked
m the background, painting and
scrubbing. The only available seats
were five uncomfortable chairs; a
bushel basket squatted in the mid-
dle of the stage, serving-as a low
table. A greasy tin can represent-
ed a very important silver urn.
Against the wall leaned a large
frame; and beside it was a larger
picture of a man in a bright blue
suit and polka dot tie. He looked
quite attractive, even if his paint
was still wet.

“that’s not the door!” A _ sigh-
ing actress turned around, went |
back off the stage, and said

And then she walked in again,
seemingly in the same place as be-
fore, but this time obviously walk-
ing in the door.

Even the characters, who were
doing the third act on the front —
of the stage, did.not-look.much like
characters. Their faces were col-
orless behind the footlights, while
class blazers above and stained and
patched blue jeans below were
hardly appropriate costumes. The
weary actors giggled when they
missed cues and forgot lines, and
general confusion reigned over
where to stand, and “You’re not
spedking loudly enough!”

But the actors had no audience
or inspiration. The usual crowd’
of wanderer-inners and_ strays
from the Soda Fountain was ab-
sent, for closed rehearsals were the
rule. The NEWS barely convinced
the director that it had a legiti-
mate reason for watching.
|-Friday-and* Saturday nights the—-
play will be presented in Good-
hart by Bryn’ Mawr and Haver-
ford.- “Foolish Notion” looks like



“Here?” “Yes, that’s much better.”

More Requireds?

Last month’s Curriculum Committee polls contained the
suggestion, among others, that a new required course, in the
social sciences, be initiated. Undergraduate reaction to this
was divided, according to the relatively small number of
polls that were returned. Many felt that another required
course, bringing the total to five, would be inadvisable and
that so many students do take a course in history, politics,
economics or sociology during their college careers that the
requirement would also be unnecessary. Others felt that
no one should graduate from Bryn Mawr without having had
a course in one of these fields. Since most students now find
that they must take at least one language as well as their
present four required courses, plus hygtene and often other

courses required by the college outside of their major de-
partment, we agree that another required course as such

would be a mistake. However, if it were possible to eliminate
some of the other courses required outside a major field or
to follow the example of many other colleges by giving an

exemption exam for English Composition at the beginning of
freshman year, a new Social Science requirement might
prove an addition to rather than a reacmotion on our academic
careers. —

We Want — !

Although last week’s letter to the NEWS protesting
against the inadequacy of existing fire equipment was slight-
ly weak on fact, it cannot be denied that there are many fire
hazards in the dormitories and other campus buildings: fee-
ble fire escapes, blocked third floor exits, loose inflammable

rubbish, and insufficient fire drilling. These are among the

more serious deficiencies in our living conditions—they are
the joint responsibility of the administration and the under-
graduates, and it is only sensible that prompt and thorough
action be taken about them.

There are others, less immediately serious but almost
equally demanding. To the administration: in spite of strong
student protest, the Library continues to use 40 watt bulbs
in the carrels and the Quita Woodward Room, making them
almost useless at night. _ There is an increased speed and
carelessness in the driving of taxis, delivery trucks, and fac-
ulty and administration cars outside Rhoads and Pembroke.
We urge furthermore that some attempt be made to get the
tennis courts into decent condition this spring.

To the students: books are still continually missing off
the reserve shelves, an inexcusable and unintelligent offense.
_ When you are reading library books that have been marked



or torn, erase the marks yourself as you go, and report the |
mutilations to the librarians. And finally, now that spring is
almost making up its mind to come, do not walk on the grass.





Current Events

_ Common Room, March 14. Miss |}
Mabel Lang, of the Greek Depart-

ment, spoke at Current Events
concerning her observations on
Greece. Miss Lang spent a year in
Greece, from the summer of ’47 to
the summer of ’48, a period of im-
portant Greek political develop-
ment. She feels that her stay in
Greece would lead her to question

‘the generalities concerning that

country, which are heard so often
today.

(Miss (Lang stressed the economic
importance of the geography of
Greece. ‘25% of the total land
area is arable, the rest covered
by rugged mountains. Because of
the small areas of farming and
year-round grazing land, Greece
must import one-third of its grain
and one-half of its meat to fill its
food requirements. As the farm-

ing land is suitable only for pro- |

ducing luxury commodities such as
currants, tobacco and wine, there
is little market for Greek products
in the present period of unstable

| economy.

Manufacturing is “impossible in
Greece without outside monetary
help, observed Miss Lang, as there
is very little raw material and
practically no fuel. The AMAG,
American Organization for Aid to
Greek reconstruction, played an
important part in erasing the scars
of World ‘War II, dating back as
far as the period of Hitler’s in-
vasion.

The only effective campaign
against the leftist guerillas has oc-
curred in the last month, when the
new Greek Cabinet drove the rebels
from the Pelponnesus. This ad-
vance, Miss Lang indicated, may be
a hint of future improvement in
the Greek political situation.

great pity that Betty Jean Connor,
who sang the Haydn Mass so beau-
tifully, had as a solo Friday night
Black Is the Color of My True
Love’s Hair. It was not at all ap-
propriate for her voice. The last
selection, Hindemith’s A Song of
Music, was well-sung but resem-
bled a large proportion of Bryn
Mawr’s program in not having a
general appeal for the audience.

Princeton’s choice of songs was
undoubtedly ‘ess origital than
Brv. Mawr’s, iu all we very
pi oe.ng to ths ‘cat. ever when
suns, slovenly. Randall Thomp-
son’s Quis Multa Gracilis had de-
lightful contrasts of whispers and
booms and squeaks, and the ten-
ors continued to squeak for the
rest of the evening. There follow-
ed an unfinished and blurred per-
formance of four songs set to mu-
sic by Henry Purcell: In These De-
lightful Pleasant Groves; When the
Cock Begins to Crow; Once, Twice,
Thrice I Julia Tried; and I Gave
Her Cakes and I Gave Her Ale.
The four Shakespeare songs—Tell
Me Where Is Fancy Bred, O Mis-
tress Mine, What Shall We Have
That Killed the Deer, and When
Daisies Pied—with music by Jos-
eph Daltry were an improvement,
perhaps ‘because they are even
more familiar and catchy than the
Purcell. The best of Princeton’s
selections was the Bach Tenor and
Bass Duet from Cantata 125, ac-
companied by the Princeton Uni-
versity Orchestra. It was brisk,
precise, sustained—a lovely mix-
ture of voices and violins.

iLast and by far the best was
The Lamentations of Jeremiah by
Alberto Ginastera, sung by chorus
and glee club. The sopranos began
with a series of startiing ‘“oh’s”.
As Mr. Goodale flapped his elbows
vigorously, the whole chorus join-
ed in with deafening and gorgeous
song. The gothic gloom of the
basses as they chanted “et dixi”
pleased me most but the singing
was exquisite throughout.

Yale Professor Speaks
On Developing Embryo

Continued from page 1
he has ‘been teaching since 1938,
spoke on “Biochemical Develop-
ment in the Amphibian Embryo.”
Dr. Boell emphasized the scien-
tific development in research which
at present enables hiologists to
trace the growth of features in the
embryo, and the change in morpho-
logical and physiological proper-
ties. Taking the salamander as a
typical amphibian, he mapped its
more than forty distinct stages of
growth spanning the development
from sperm to mature animal. Cir-
culation and heart-beat in the sala-
mander begin between the thirty-
second and thirty-third stages, and
from this point, mobility begins to
develop. (Stimulation will produce
motion before full powers of mo-
bility have matured. Dr. Boell
concluded with a diagram showing
the system by which this motion
can be recorded.

Theory of Universals
Explained by G. Burch

Continued from page 1

Though the particulars and the
universals are different, the theo-
ries that apply in classifying them
are essentially the same, as Dr.
Burch pointed out. Idealism, which
is the theory of particulars accord-
ing to which things exist only as
thoughts and have no objective ex-
istence, corresponds to the phen-
omenal theory of universals. Ma-
terialism, which asserts that things
do exist objectively, corresponds to
the class theory of universals. And
finally, realism, which holds that
things exist objectively and as sub-
stances, corresponds. to the essence
theory, which maintains that uni-
versals exist objectively and as
eternal ideas.

Dr. Burch does not believe that
any one of these theories is valid
in all cases. According to him, a
scientific classification is “the only
sound approach to the problem.”
The universals can be divided in
three groups, that to which the
inanimate natural things belong,
that to which living things be-
long, and that to which man-made
artificial things belong. Each of
these groups is associated with one
of the theories of universals. As
an example of a universal belong-
ing to. inanimate natural things,
Dr. Burch took mountains. What
mountains have in common is only
a superficial ressemblance; that is
to say, their essences are alike in
the ait sense, but not in the
real sense. This associates inan-
imate natural things with the
phenomenal theory. But the nom-
inalist or phenomenalist theory
fails when it comes to living
things. For there is between these,
an objective genetic relation, since
every living thing comes into be-
ing from a previous living thing,
which it resembles. Then, it is the
class theory of universals that _ap-

Station WBMC Stand by;.
Ursinus Replies

To Our SOS

To the Editor:

On March 8rd two students from.
Ursinus; Joseph Beardwood and
Alvin Knepper, came to Pembroke
East to see the Bryn Mawr radio
station. They have offered to give
their time and assistance so that.
we may have WBIMC operating
again. With their aid and a mini-
mum of financial backing the radio.
station will be in operation before
the end of this semester.

When Pembroke East was con-
verted to A.C. current three years
ago the Bryn Mawr radio station
was forced to shut down, because.
it would have ‘been too difficult to
run lines into the halls on D.C..
surrent, We not only lacked
money, but a great deal of work
would have to be done by an ex-
pert. .

This year Jane Wickham~and
Seta Mahakian became interested
in the possibilities which college
radio presents. With help from
Wray Bentley of Haverford, they
got the station into operation so
that it could be heard in Pem East.
There still remained the drawback
of the other halls which run on
D.C. current.

In college radio programs there
is a chance for much expression of
talent. A large number of Bryn
Mawr students who are not chosen
for the Drama Guild productions
would jump at the opportunity to
take part in radio plays. Those
who are interested could do ex-
perimental radio script writing and
directing. They might even use a
sound effects man! For a small
monthly charge we can rent a tele-
phone line to Haverford College
which would make it possible for
us to exchange broadcasts. Some-
time in the future we might form a
local network with Haverford, Ur-
sinus, Valley Forge Hospital and
Swarthmore.

When all the major colleges and
most of the smaller ones have
campus radio stations it seems too
bad that Bryn Mawr should not
have one in operation also. The
authorities have taken no interest.
in giving us funds so all support.
has had to come from outside
sources, such as WHaverford and
Ursinus . . Doesn’t Bryn Mawr
care about putting its neglected
radio station back on the air?

Jacob, Esau Confused
In International Quiz

Continued from page 1

There were setbacks on the way..
I kept insisting that Jacob was in-.
extricably linked with a mess of
pottage, but finally Nellie put her
hand over my mouth ,and said
firmly into the microphone, “She
knew it was Esau all the time.”
After that there was a tacit un-
derstanding that I was to answer
no more questions, and Nancy and
Nellie saved the day. There was a
brilliant choral rendition of “I
have my love to keep me warm,”
in answer to “Why did you go out
in the snow without your over-
coat,” and we missed shamefully
on the name of Wendy’s dog. But
Alberdeen was convinced that
Roosevelt was our “ruling presi-
dent,” and at the end of half an
hour the score stood at 540 to 310,
our favor. As we were driven back
to college, exhausted by our intel-
lectual gymnastics, we made full

apologies to Nellie. It had, after -
all, been lots of fun.

Note: the show will be broadcast.

wolf coming in second. The Bryn
Mawr team, ‘Bacon, Dean, Laidlaw,
and (Hermgn, won second place in
the 200-yard freestyle relay; and
Warren, Dempwolf, and Repenning
came in fourth in the medley relay.
Owens won third place in the div-
ing contest.

All Bryn Mawr sports enthusi-
asts salute our swimmers with
“Hats off to Miss Yeager and a
terrific team!”

In the badminton singles matches
between Bryn Mawr and Swarth-
more, \Swarthmore’s team defeated
the Bryn Mawr Varsity, 5-0, and
the Junior Varsity, 4-1. Iglehart,
Harvey, and Shaw played for the
Varsity, and Davis, Rowan and B.
Townsend for the Junior Varsity.
Davis played exceptionally well,
winning both her matches, 12-9 and
11-6. Swarthmore also won in the

slim margin of 17-15. The J. V.
forwards were Cohen, Howells,
Dawes, and Liachowitz, and the
guards, Savage, Price, Johns, and
Sloan,

Incidentally

It would appear, since last Fri-
day, that floods are a worse haz-
ard to worry about than fires. Or
perhaps a certain chemistry major,
I.N., was just rather tired of the
whole business, and decided to
wash her hands of it. Giving her
the benefit of the doubt, the fact
remains that as the result of a
slight accident, Park suffered a
flood which dripped from the sec-
ond floor organic lab down to the
first floor lecture room. Order was
restored, however, when I.N. spent
a large part of the morning slosh-
ing up the inundation with a dust-
pan.

Counterpoint Poll Asks
For Education Article

Specially Contributed
by M. Patricia Ripley, 50

Counterpoint’s poll conducted

yesterday shows that 56% of Bryn
Mawr and Haverford students in-
terested enough to fill out’ the
cards are primarily concerned with
“what a college education should
provide today.” “The most sig-
nificant event of the first half of
the 20th century” ranked second,

and World Government was
third place. The “............ (you name
it)” replies ranged from “You
name it!” to Birth Control.

In its Summer Issue, Counter-
point will print the best articles
submitted on the subject of mod-
ern college education. The length
may be up to 300 words, the treat-
ment either general or specific.
Deadline for acceptance is April
5th.

The majority of comments _re-
turned on the polls stressed Coun-
terpoint’s role as a literary maga-
zine, and that the publishing of
critical writing, on such topics as
were suggested, is out of its scope
and would reduce the amount of
creative writing able to be printed.

Theory of Universals
Explained by G. Burch

plies to living things. The essence
theory, if applied to living. things,
is refuted by the evidence of evo-
lution, by the fact that species are
temporal entities, not eternal ones;
they change with time. For living
things are what they are by vir-
tue of their origin. But the essence
theory does apply to artificial
things. We do know the real es-
sence of an artifact—because we
made it. And here is emphasized
one of the main differences between
artifacts and living things, as Dr.
Burch pointed out: because they
are made after a certain purpose,
to fulfill a particular end, artifacts

may be «onsidered perfect or im-
perfect, which categories, however,
do not apply te living things, since
we do not know what the purpose
of humanity is or that it has any
purpose.

In conclusion, Dr. Burch said
that he considered that an under-
standing of the universals consist-
ed in accepting all three theories,
and not trying to fit all the uni-
versals in one of them.
