Janschka Displays True Genius
At Showing of Contemporary Art

by Jane Augustine, 52

The Carlen Gallery in Philadel-
‘phia is now exhibiting for the first
time in America the work of Fritz
Janschka, the Viennese artist whom
the Catherwoods have brought to
Bryn Mawr to work and teach.
Forty drawings and paintings are
mow on display; some are water-
colors, some are done in ink, a few
are in pencil. It is difficult to judge
any way but subjectively, and for
that reason some would think them
more beautiful than others would.
‘But it seems impossible that any-
one could think they are not beau-
‘tiful — and to achieve beauty is
the artist’s foremost goal.

These pictures show infinite as-
pects of the artist’s conscious and
subconscious mind. They reveal
thoughts much too elusive for
words — and that also hinders
objective criticism. Underlying the
great variety of subject matter
-and treatment are a few charac-
teristics which distinguish __ Mr.
Janschka’s work from that of other
artists. All of the pictures con-
ttain much detail and many fine
lines. Yet none of these fine lines
js meaningless, any more than a
fine strand of steel wire is mean-
ingless to a bridge cable. The
‘watercolors are characterized by a
nebulous juxtaposition of color-
splotches — in the background
usually, but not always — on which
minutely drawn objects are super-
imposed. An underwater theme
runs through both subject and
treatment of several watercolors,
and can be detected in the treat-
‘ment alone of some scenes which
are not undersea. It is the quality
of an oceah-bottom, or a magic
garden. Many pictures contain
groups of tiny faces all bearing
different expressions, viewed from
different angles, and placed in dif-
ferent positions. The artist seems
to see faces in inanimate objects,
or to conjure them out of blank
plane surfaces and thin air.

One watercolor From My Gar-
den is very simply constructed.
From a distance one has an im-
pression of seven parallel strands
of blurred blue. Up close one sees
that there are many shades of blue
ranging from royal through Prus-
sian blue to green or grey. One
sees flowers with faces drawn by
a single-hair brush dipped in pur
ple and maroon. The feeling is one
of finding the overlooked beauties
of small things — like seeing a
butterfly’s wing clarified by a
microscope. The water color Dance,



Athletes Receive
Awards on May 3

This Wednesday, May 3, the
Athletic Association of Bryn Mawr
will hold the annual Award Night.
There will be a general review of
all sports events of the past year,
the presentation of point awards,
and later there will be refresh-
ments. Everyone in the college,
‘professors as well as students, is
cordially invited, whether they are
athletic or just have friends who
are. So don’t forget Awards

black, detailed in white. The top
foreground is black; behind and
below there is the sooty-yellow
and green of undersea light,
through which fat fish swim in one
direction. In People Courtesying,
black and purple definitely-shaped
strands against a sunset back-
ground have the effect of a shadow
play. %

Several paintings are nothing
more than a closely-packed group
of faces showing every possible
expression. One of these is Fish
and Mussels, with black and white

‘detail on deep pink paper; another

with a lavendar background is
From the Sea, lent by the Charles
Chaplins. The two paintings The
Animal Kingdem Discusses War
andA Living Mountain tell a story
— in them the faces are grouped
less closely. In the former, intelli-
gent-looking beasts, red-brown and
tawny, stand up before a yellow
sky filled with tiny fuschia and
peacock-blue rocket toys remini-
scent of certain so-called comic
strips. In A Living Mountain, reds
and pink-browns again predomin-
ate in a group that suggests so-
ciety in general — a few outstand-
ing individuals at the top, and a
great many crowded underneath.

Schrecker Traces
“Descartes Today”

Dr. Paul Schrecker, who has just
been appointed full Professor of
Philosophy at the University of
Pennsylvania, spoke last Wednes-
day evening in the Common Room
on “Descartes Today.” Descartes
died only several days over three
hundred years ago.

Dr. Schrecker began his talk
with an explanation of the detail
in a Picard engraving that symbol-
ized Descartes’ influence on his
own age. Descartes is represented
in the center, led toward Truth,
and surrounded by Father Time,
a large university building “not
unlike Taylor Hall,” and other al-
legorical figures. The work was
meant to represent the penetration
of Cartesian thought into all the
arts and sciences. The reason for
the success of Descartes’ over-
throw of established methodology
was that he furnished the first
new reasoning along with the
fruit, analytic geometry, of his
Discours de la Methode. Then Dr.
Schrecker traced the progress Car-
tesian reasoning had made from
its inception in 1687, past the inter-
diction of Louis XIV against its
being taught in French universi-
ties, past the trend of conformity
to such accepted ancient authori-
ties as Aquinas and Euclid, and up
to its eventual counterpart in polit-
ical, as well as intellectual, revo-
lutions. It was Richelieu who said
that the French Revolution began
with Descartes. —

For Descartes it was the “free-
dom, or rather, the duty of all to
doubt” anything founded on author-
ity. The political repercussions of
this were immense. The unsubstan-

The Significance of May Day

May Day is one of the best-known of all Bryn Mawr tra-
ditions. However, its original appeal seeyfS’to have become
tarnished through the years, and its original significance is
most certainly obscured.

The threat of one-dollar fines, and the tedium of daily
meetings and rehearsals have overshadowed, to a great ex-
tent, the charm and effectiveness of the actual singing of the
songs on May Day morning. .The worry about hopping on
the right beat and.straining to hear the speeches tends to de-
‘tract from the May-pole ceremonies. And assuredly the early
hour: does little for the general spirit of gaiety which should
characterize a holiday of this sort.

There are'so many little things connected with May Day,
that the important, significant ones are often unappreciated.
The waking of the Seniors with May Day baskets, the hoop-

- rolling down Senior Row, the Seniors’ willing of their “prized
possessions”, -and. the Assembly which is the culmination of
. the ceremonies: all these are the customs on which May Day
was originally based. -It is because the detail of these cus-
toms is stressed, -and their meaning generally overlooked
- that May Day seems:like-an outworn event to many. On the
- morning of May first,-if-at no other time, the travail and
monotony should be divorced from the ceremonies, and their
significance and: pleasant qualities realized and appreciated.

The Creative Problem

In letters to the editor and in smoker sessions, students
have long deplored the lack of creative opportunities at Bryn
Mawr. In response to student demand they have grown: we
have the College Theatre, Freshman and Junior shows, Coun-
terpoint. And this is the fourth year that we have had Arts
Night, which presents what may be the most challenging and
rewarding opportunities.

But this year’s response has been discouraging in two
ways. First, from the creative aspect; dancers and musicians
have responded to the call of Arts Night, but Bryn Mawr is

not represented by a play. Those connected with Arts Night
have talent and great enthusiasm, but their number is not
proportionately representative of the many creative and
highly talented students on the Bryn Mawr campus.

Second, a glance at the seating chart will indicate the
apathy of the student body. Unless a great many tickets are
sold at the door, the auditorium will be less than half full.
The Arts Night committee was pleased to be able to present
its entertainment in Goodhart this year—an innovation and
tangible proof that Arts Night is growing and establishing
itself as an important Bryn Mawr tradition. Without the

‘support of the | students Arts Night has no importance. It is
ade; mas by, and for the students, and a magnificent

M. DuPont Wins
Exhibition Match

On Thursday, April 27, the Ex-
hiibtion Tennis match between Mrs.
Margaret Osborne DuPont and
Mrs. Bunny Vosters was held on
the Bryn Mawr Varsity courts.
Two games were played, and were
both won by Mrs. DuPont, 6-4,
8-6. Both showed excellent form
and skill in their games, and to al!
the students watching, it must
have been a great inspiration.
There ‘were many amazing shots
and plays, which gave the specta-
tors a wonderful chance to see
tennis well played and enjoyed.
Both players moved with grace and
speed, making the match not only
thrilling but beautiful to watch.

Mrs. DuPont now holds the Na-
tional Women’s Championship title,
and Mrs. Vosters is ranked four-
teenth nationally, as well as being
the chairman of the Junior Wight-
man Cup Team.

The concentration during the

match was mostly on long base-|

line shots. Neither player came up
to the net very often, but when
they did they showed perfect con-

trol of the ball. Mrs. DuPont hit |

quite a few: beautiful cross court
shots, some of which were hit back
with exceeding ease on the part of
Mrs. Vosters. Mrs. DuPont’s serve
was one of the most outstanding
features of the match. It was a
very fast, powerful drive, which
went deep into the service court,
and almost had the strength of a
man. Both players had good, clean
hits and seldom cut or sliced the
ball, which all went to make the
match a very open and graceful
game.

Lantern Night at Bryn Mawr,
lent by Miss McBride, and First
Impressions of Philadelphia are
particularly interesting to anyone
conected with Bryn Mawr College.
Lantern Night has a dark misty
background; feminine faces sur-
reund their lanterns and peer out
of trees and doorways. In the
center Janschka paints himself
looking through an arched and
grated window |as if he were look-
ing, somewhat surprised, into a
convent. First Impressions of Phil-
adelphia masses male and female,
negro and Caucasian faces in the
dark foreground, while in back
buildings loom up into a _ red-
orange sky. Another obviously
Philadelphia - inspired painting,
Jazz, with its cold, dominant scar-
let, depicts its title well.

The ink drawings like Seven
Kinds of Death and The Parable
of the Loaves of Bread and Fish
are baffling and fascinating simul-
taneotsly, they demand
prolonged contemplation.
They are thought-out and ex-
ecuted with the most meticulous
care. Shapes are curiously connect-
ed, and their full meaning with
implications is not immediately
evident. Lines of poetry are print-
ed in the corner of It is Raining
on the Euphrates and there is let-
tering also in a similar picture
Military Pomp. These in their de-
tail remind one of Durer.
Ink drawings of a more immediate-
ly understandable kind are the
Illustration for Kafka and Mental
Hospital. In the former the faces
are hard and mask-like, contrast-
ing with the very human suffering
faces in the latter.

When using pencil, Janschka
treats his subject with a different
sort of detail. Infanticide and The
Burial are both done in pencil, and
yet are not done in the same way.
They, like some of the ink draw-
ings, contain so much that one

in complete ignorance. Mr. Car-
penter responded beautifully.
“Well of course I’m leading this
tour for the sake of seeing the
Greek Islands again. In our special
boat we have permission to travel.
straight from one island to the
next. Believe it or not, this is a
great advantage, for ordinarily
one is requiréd to return from each
separate island to. Pireaus, and
then set off again for the next
island. Why do I want to see
them? Because they’re Greek, for
one thing.” Here Mr. Carpenter:
held up his hand, and counted off
the reasons on his fingers.
“Natural beauty’s another. Most:
beautiful scenery in the world; the.
Norwegian fjords are the only-
thing like it. The third reason is.
archeological: they’ve been doing a
lot’ of digging in those islands.
The islands have a good many in-
teresting associations for us. Cat-
mos, for instance. Saint John wrote.
the Revelations there, and it has.
a very fine Greek monastery.”
Since ‘Greek’ to me means temples.
and goddesses, I was puzzled for
a minute, then thought to ask, “By
Greek, do you mean Greek Ortho-.
dox?” He looked at me, startled.
“You really don’t know anything,
do you?” I shook my head, and he
went on to explain that some of
these monasteries date from early-
Christian times, and that they are
built in the Byzantine style, and
are richly adorned with mosaic.

why they’re so beautiful? That’s:

tiated conclusions of the past were.
swept aside, although with the ex-
ample of Galileo before his eyes,
Descartes, as a moral conformist,
picked no quarrel with the Church.
Dr. Schrecker cited the Brownist
movement in India as an example
of non-acceptance of the Church
authority that he himself had
deigned to question. According to.
his plan; doctrines were to be dis-.
qualified as criterions unless they
had “clear and distinct” proof; and
God, Descartes’s Deus Ex Machina,
was to be the only guarantor of
knowledge. This dependence. on
God’s veracity is the weak point of
the system.

Descartes believed that “the
seeds of truth are within every-
one” ‘since there was now a ques-
tioning of any supreme outside.
authorities in intellectual affairs,
the same question was soon extend-
ed to real life. Revolt against any
authority between man’s “inner-
voice” and the “direction in action
of the inner voice” was the result.
Dr. Schrecker raised the parallel
of the two great. revolutions of
the eighteenth century as eventual-
ities of this system. The French
Revolution, an_ intellectual one,
was the “deification of Reason;’”
while the American one, was large-.
ly Puritan and Christian inspired.
Both were directly traceable back
through Malebranche and other-
“advocates of autonomy and free-
dom,” like Spinoza and Locke, to-
Descartes system of doubt. The.
paradox of “security” or certainty
of knowledge, vis-a-vis “strenuous
freedom,” or freedom of knowledge-
both stemming from the same
source, cannot be exactly satisfied,
Dr. Schrecker said, but must be-
blended as best we know how, tak-.
ing into account the inevitability-
of error. Man must reconcile his-
antithetical desires for freedom:
and for security,—that is the prob-
lem that Descartes has left to.

Lacrosse Teams

Both Beat Penn

by Emmy Cadwalader ’52

The Lacrosse season started on
Wednesday, April 26, with a vic-
tory over Penn for both teams. The
Varsity won with the overwhelm-
ing score of 8-3. The goals were

made by the following: Wagoner
8, Stone 2, Perkins 2, Cadwalader
1. The Junior Vansity score was
6-2, with Ludington making three
of the points, and Dawes and
Bernheim scoring the rest. Both
teams played exceedingly well for
the first game, and for the fact
that we have so many beginners.
‘The Varsity teamwork and coor-
dination was noticeably good dur-
ing the game, and both games
were clean and open. The starting
lineups were as follows:

Varsity Junior Varsity
Wagoner FH Ludington
Stone SH Bernheim
Perkins TH Lindau

If you have never seen a La-
crosse game played, or want to see
a good game come watch both
teams play Beaver on the home
fields, Thursday, May 4 at 4
o’clock.

The Baseball Varsity played i‘:
second match on Wednesday, April
26, against Penn. It was a good
game, but Bryn Mawr lost badly
by the score of 15-6. This Wed-
nesday, May 3, at four o’clock, the
team will play Swarthmore, so
come down and cheer for Bryn
Mawr. The Bryn Mawr hits were
scored as follows: Hayes 2, Blan-
karn, Leeds, Jackson, and Raskin
one each. The line-up of the Penn
game was:

Desiree Sansespoir, Sophomore,
Well-rounded, Reveals Her Fall

shall be a sophomore Forever.

Now, I am as happy as the next
sophomore to shell out my dollar
instead of going to song meetings,
and thus I feel that I am a bona
fide member of the class. I under-
stand, however, that it is the usual
proceedure for sophomores to
eventually become juniors — and
for several years I have been look-
ing forward to enjoying the ad-
vantages of that opportunity. I
am still, apparently, Unready. I
have Overcut and I have not Ful-
filled the Gym Requirement.

I try to do my best in college. [
never could resign myself to being
a grind and/or creep, so I indulge
in what I consider a few well-
chosen extra-curricular activities.
For one thing, I belong to the So-
ciety for the Perpetuation of Use-
less Facts and Information, dedi-
cated to preserving all first-year
class notes. I am a rotating mem-
ber of the policy committee of the
Rockefeller Indoor Book Watchers
and Squint-Eyed Friends of Litera-
ture Society, which determines
strategy for getting the single
copy of each 1000 or more page
reserve book into the hands of at
least one student in the hall some-
time before each weekly quiz. I
have just been nominated for First
Convulsion of the Young Women’s
Coughing and Retching Associa-
tion. To insure my future, I am
taking a correspondence course in
underwater basket weaving. I also
subscribe to Quick.

The Dean’s ‘Office regrets my
frequent cutting, considerably aug-
mented by the time when I was
inadvertently abandoned in Tama-
qua by the geology field trip.

‘It is the Gymnastic Department,
however, which I most fear. I am
failing. My favorite sports are
Folk and Country Dancing and
Archery. The delightful gaiety is
gone, however, since I received the
notice that it would take me ap-
proximately three years to make
up my present Archery cuts. I am

|pursued by a terrible nightmare:

it is the battle of Agincourt.
Laurence Olivier shouts, for all the
world to hear, “Take Sansespoir
out of the ranks. She’s losing all
our arrows.” Gad.

Dear Editor, there is no escape.
Although I am a semi-wholesome
and fairly normal All-American
Girl, I am failing. I will never be
a junior. Now I know why They
don’t put numerals on our blazers.

Yours for more juniors,
Desiree Sansespoir

Bard’s Eye View |

specially contributed by
Ethel S. Tessman, ’50

Oh, for a lad who slurps his sour

And eats his peas with a knife,

Who picks his teeth with a gold
toothpick

And generally enjoys his life.

Fie on the lad with the rose-color-
ed air,

The: frail, pale fellow who moans

Of Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard

In low philosophical tones.

It’s shameful indeed to work so
hard —

To be so exceedingly wise,

When it’s plain to the world, or
to women at least,

That ’t will ever be, “Poor boy! He
tries!”

Give me a man in a checquered
vest,

And a loud, brisk, “How d’ja do,”

Who went to school in the Middle
West,

Whose words are mercifully few.

Were there a lad with a boorish
air

And an easy way of life,

I’d give him a hug and a right
smart kiss,

' And gladly be his wife.

To clear up the situation

Of facts concerning me.

Which everybody mocks,

In short, I am an ox.
When May days were not heathen
(Just lasting four short hours)
But grandly Elizabethan,
Then I was wreathed with flow’rs;
I danced with many a maiden
To tthe firemen’s great band;
But with rue my heart is laden,
For Big May Day has been panned.
But the root of all my grieving
Is not the music sweet,
Nor the ladieg I’ll be leaving,
Nor the blossoms ’round my feet.
I’m sad ’cause when they told me,
“What big, dumb ox you are,”
I once could answer boldly,
“But I go to Bryn Mawr! !! ”

:
Michelangelo’s Works
Make ‘The Titan’
Film History
by Jane Augustine, ’52

At a small moving-picture thea-
tre on Philadelphia’s Market
Street, a movie is now playing that
has no human beings in it; yet it
tells the story of one of the world’s
greatest periods of history and of
one of its greatest artists. It is
The Titan, the story of Michaelan-
gelo. Frederic March, with the
help of Michael Sonnabend, a
photographer - genius whd can
paint pictures with a camera, has
successfully revealed the life of
Michelangelo, using sculpture and
painting only, and the surround-
ings in which he worked—never
resorting to actors. This approach
to an artist’s life is certainly the
truest.

Any actor’s portrayal of the art-
ist must necessarily carry with it
a degree of falsehood. For the
man’s life as a human being and
his artistic life are quite detached
from each other; and unless the
director is skillful, and the histor-
ical details well-known, an attempt
to present both sides of the artist’s
personality is liable to fail. Usu-
ally the movies simply glamorize
and distort the social side of a
great artist’s life, and neglect his
‘work completely. This movies does
the exact opposite;

beauty and grandeur, for the phil-
osophy behind it, for the actual
physical effort it demanded of its
creator, and for the influence upon
it of the Florentine mode of living,
the politics of the Vatican during
the Renaissance.

The splendid palace of Lorenzo
de Medici, “Il Magnifico”, in which
the poor young stonecutter lived
and worked, is shown in detail;
here he created his earliest sta-
tues. From Florence, Michelan-
angelo went to Rome, where he
went through the ruins of the
Roman Forum, and explored the
pagan beauties of antique re-
mains. They inspired his statue,
Bacchus.

At Rome also, the Christian in-
fluence was strong, and he did sev-
eral statues of the Virgin Mary.
Of these is the incomparably love-
ly statue of Mary holding in her
arms a Divine Son, crucified. The
camera explores, with care and
with reverence, every part of the
statue. It shows the complete ten-
derness of Mary’s expression, and
the pathos of the pierced hands
and feet of Christ. His face is a
man’s face; God has been forced to
leave the human form.

Two Receiving CARE Packages
Write Bryn Maur in Gratitude

Irina Nelidow has asked the
NEWS to print the following let-
ters, which should be of interest
to all students. The first is only
one of the very many letters from
Germany thanking us for the Bryn
Mawr CARE contribution. It is
addressed to Common Treasurer
Mousie Wallace.

»Dear Miss M. G. Wallace:

Last week my mother and I had
a very happy day when we got
your box and we want to thank
you now for your generosity from
the bottom of our hearts. How glad
we were is difficult to tell, you
must know it is the first box we
ever got from the U.S.A. and the
marvelous things we unpacked
were all ours. It seemed to be a
sign of heaven not to feel so sad
as we often do...

Once again I thank you very
much for helping us.



Now I want to try to tell you
who we are. In the beginning of
1945 we had to leave our home, a
farm in East Prussia and got with
mostly everything lost here a new
place to jlive. My father got lost
during “the violent days of our
flight. Later we learned he has
died in Denmark. Two brothers of
mine have been killed in aktion
during the war and so we are left
my mother not feeling better at
all, me and my brother who lives
in the Hannover area. Our great-
est desire is to get possibility to
live together. But under the condi-
tions of today this is very difficult
and we will have to wait for a time
till our wish will come true.

I am glad that we will have soon
spring and everything will look
better. I hope that I will. go see
my brother during the Easter holi-

“Titan”? Uses No Actors,
Recreates Michelangelo
Continued from Page 5

Back in Florence, Michelangelo
began a work which took him four
years. It was the statue of David,
symbol of Medici supremacy and
the Florentine domination of the
Italian Renaissance. The photog-
raphy of this statue and Bacchus
were as breath-taking as that of
the Vingin and the dead Jesus. The
slow motion of the camera almost

made one think the figures were
alive. The details—veins of the
hand, folds in the cheek—were
shown close up. Here the sculp-
tor’s mathematical and minutely
perfect knowledge of human an-
atomy is revealed in all its unbe-
lievable splendor. No one could
fail to be impressed.

(Michelangelo was also a painter
though sculpture was his first
love. The Pope commissioned him
to design a mural for the ceiling of
the Sistine Chapel. A panoply of
pagan demi-gods and deities sur-
rounds panel after panel showing
every phase of the Creation of
Man, down to the time of the
Flood. Here the camera could ex-
plore more carefully than the hu-
man eye. It showed close-ups of
the faces of God the Creator, of
Adam and Eve, created, tempted,
fallen, and banished from Eden.

At the age of sixty, remember-
ing the vain attempts of Savona-
rola to stem the tide of Renais-
sance worldliness and debauchery,
Michelangelo began his Last Judg-
ment, a mural with the intensity
of God’s damnation in it.. His last
work was the sculpturing that
went into the tomb of the Medici,
with its figures of agonized Day
and lethargic Night indicating the
sculptor’s feeling that the Renais-
sance was corrupt and doomed.

One’s only regret about The
Titan, especially in the scenes of
the Medici palace, the Italian
countryside and the magnificent
murals, is that the filming was not
done in color. Otherwise there is
no fault to be found in a movie
that sets a precedent in movie-
making. There should be more
giants like The Titan.

days. We cannot be often together,
so we will have a lot of talk, and
if there is fine weather we sure
will enjoy these days.

Some happy holidays we wish
you too and hope you are well and
that everything will work out like
you want it to.

We would be very glad if you
had the time to write us some
lines in return.

Yours very thankfully,
Gurlotte Matern
Annemarie Matern.”

The second letter is from a Hun-
garian student at Combloux, the
student chalet to which the Bryn
Mawr students last year sent $250.
Combloux is in Haute-Savoie in
France and is a rest and study cen-
ter for students who have long
been undernourished and suffering
the after-affects of war.

“Dear unknown girl-friends of Bryn
Mawr,

I have to tell you, that I was
particularly happy when I was in-
formed of your generous gift. My
best friend was a student in your
college and so I have some ideas
on the marvelous institution of
Bryn Mawr. It is because I learned
that Bryn Mawr represents the
finest values, the real ones, of the
States, that I thank you.

You are supposed to have some
information on the Chalet, our

MISS TESSMAN

Who wants a man in a checquered

vest?

We'd like to escape the Middle
West.

We don’t care where he went to
school,

But we certainly don’t want a fool.

We wouldn’t enjoy being his wife

And picking up peas for the rest
of our life.

And we would love philosophizing

With someone’s who’s tall and ap-



petizing.

So take your boorish friend, my
dear,

And drown him deep in his mug

home, but I am not quite sure if
the most important has been writ-
ten. It is a sort of program, some-
thing of an ‘idealogy’ implicated
in the everyday life of our home...
I will try to give a definition of
it because I am convinced that you
feel somehow in the same way.
lt is solidarity; everybody is in
some way responsible of the hap-
piness, tne heaitn and the intel-
1ectual evolution of the others. We
can’t leave somebody alone when
ne is depressed or simply helpless.
Somebody arriving his is awaited
at the bus station, somebody is
helping him to make the first
steps...
And this is very important in a
house where you find not only all
the political and religious opinions
but also every nationality.
And last but not least we want
to give something to everybody
who is coming to our home: some-
thing more than fine time, friend-
ship and. health. We would find for
all of us real human values, we
want to leave a little bit changed
the Chalet: with some new hope,
more optimism that is all.
It is certainly very pretentious,
too optimistic but we have to try
it and try it again. And when we
receive gifts or simply letters, we
know that we are not alone.
(Excuse me for my English, I
lost the habit of writing serious
letters in it.)
Yours sincerely,
Nicolas Plevy.”

important. The islands are land
which has sunk below the sea.
Only the tops of the mountains
still rise above. That is why the
jand slopes straight into the water,
like the mountains which surround
the fjords. You must have seen
photographs. The sight is both
magnificent and terrifying. Those
islands aren’t like the wretched
little sandbars we have off the
Jersey coast. If we subnierged the
Atlantic seaboard up to the Appa-
lachians, we could have islands
like that too.” Mr. Carpenter
paused for a moment, then con-
tinued, “The most important thing
about the islands is that through
the centuries most of them have
remained isolated, both from each
other and from the rest of the
world. Their inhabitants are by
descent almost pure Greek, and
their language has never been mod-
ified by those of other nations. The
people of each island have their
own distinct way of life. As you
travel from island to island you
glimpse a series of different
worlds. Each people has preserved
the same way of life for the last
thousand years. How do they live?
They terrace their hillsides and
plant a little wheat; they pasture
goats; in the valleys there are
olive orchards. They se a wooden
plow, tipped with metal: they can’t
plow deep. A tractor would be
quite useless. The. fascination of



the Aegean Islands is that they
are completely out of the current
of our civilization.”

“I asked Mr. Carpenter how ex-
tensive the archeological discover-
ies have been there. He replied that
on different islands remains from
the Neolithic, Mycenaean, Greek,
Roman, Byzantine, and Turkish
periods have been unearthed. As
I rose to go, Mr. Carpenter looked
at me keenly.

“Don’t make any mistakes,” he
said.

When in disgrace with the office

of the Dean

For not attending classes every
day,

And my professors know not what
I mean

When I, from terror, keep myself
away;

When I behold the door before me
shut

And picture visage of professor
dour,

If I forego the strong desire to cut

And inward slink at twenty past
the hour;

And therupon the crowning blow
doth fall,

(A truth of which I’ve often long
dispaired)

When I upon my courage have to
call

And tell the class that I am not
prepared.

How do I know, requested to recite,

That the professor, horrified, won’t
bite?
