Dr. Ehiot Sees
Universal Need |
For Child Help
Dr. Martha M. Eliot reviewed
the needs of the “Children in the
Community”, and the Bryn Mawr
Child Development Conference
reached its climax in Goodhart on
Friday evening.
Miss McBride presided and told
of the present state of the Col-
lege’s thirty-year policy of coop-
erating with the community for
the benefit of the children. With
the aid of Mr. Philip Koopman,
Superintendent of the Lower Mer-
ion Township Public Schools, who
has guided the Child Study Insti-
tute in its relations with the com-
munity, the program has come te
include school board, college, com-
munity agencies, and educators all
working together.
After telling briefly the history
of West House, the new center for
child study on campus, and of the
Phebe Anna Thorne School, Miss
McBride introduced Dr. Eliot as a
person who could carry through an
ambitious program such as that
now facing those interested in
child welfare.
The task of the country is, said
Dr. Eliot, the raising of good citi-
zens who will have a worldwide
outlook and will make possible
peace in the future. Children must
learn, and it is not_only the par-
_.ents who can teach them. Every
. phase of life affects the child, and
itis the responsibility of the vot-
ing public to make the environ-
ment impinging upon the youth
the best possible in terms of ex-
perience.
Parents must have some place
_ to turn for advice in the long task
of developing individual worth by
providing the necessary advantag-
es. The child should be free to
Jgrow, Dr. Eliot stated, for arrest-
ing maturation at any stage can
result in a block and, even if over-
come, may weaken the foundation
for future stages. The growth

Child Development
Group Emphasizes
Guidance Problems
The members of the Child De-
velopment Conference met on the
evening of Friday, November 14,
in the Deanery, to summarize the
findings of the workshop sessions.
Mrs. Cox, director of the Child
Study Institute at Bryn Mawr,
conducted the meeting.
Mrs. Ruth Bacon spoke about
the early childhood years, in which
the foundation for creative citizen-
ship should be laid. She said that
it is during the early years that
the child’s personality develops,
and he will not become a mature
citizen unless his early needs of
love and discipline are satisfied.
The child cannot be expected to
learn cooperation or friendliness if

Renowned Scientist
G.Gaylord Simpson
To Lecture on Man
“Man, alone among all organ-
isms, knows that he evolves and
he alone is capable of directing his
own evolution.” So wrote Mr,
George Gaylord Simpson in The
Meaning of Evolution, in a chap-
ter entitled “Man’s Place in Na-
ture”. On Monday evening, No-
vember 24, Mr. Simpson will speak
in Goodhart Hall under the spon-
sorship of Bryn Maw rCollege and
the Committee on the Coordination
of the Sciences, on this same sub-
ject, “Man’s Place in Nature.”
.Mr. Simpson is Curator of Fossil
Mammals and Birls at the Amer-
ican Museum of Natural History
Dean of the Science Staff and pro-
fessor of vertebrate paleontology
at Columbia University. He is one
of the foremost scientists in the
country in his field, and has re-
cently been highly honored for his
work. On November 15, 1952 the
Geological Society of America
awarded him the Penrose Medal
for “eminent research in pure ge-:
ology”. This is the most recent of

Talented Arts Nighters Provide
Informal Relaxed Entertainment
by Barbara Drysdale, ’55
“Music, art, and what might be
’ called drama” was how Ann Blais-
dell introduced Arts Night, given
Saturday night of Alumnae week-
end in the Mrs. Otis Skinner Work-
shop. For the last five years Arts
“Night has offered the hidden tal-
ent on campus a chance to become
discovered.
Musically overcoming the ab-
“gence of three members, the Bryn
' Mawr Octangle opened the pro-
gram with the songs so familiar
‘to undergraduates but probably
“new to alumnae. Despite the per-
’ formers’ at times apparent uncer-
tainty without the missing sing-
ers, the songs—including “Who”,
“Stairway to Paradise,” the Ger-
- man oral version of “I never See
Maggie Alone,” and the popular
“Lets Do It”—were thoroughly en-
* joyable because of the spirit in
which they were sung. ;
Mary Vorys_ performed her
own choreography for the sequence
“Ase’s Death” from the Pere Gynt
Suite. Dressed in black, she repre-
sented Peer mourning at his
mother’s grave. Although toward
the middle of the sequence the
choreography became more stereo-
typed. and uncertain, especially
poignant was her interpretation of
the mourner reaching out toward
his mother but pulling back from
the grave, from the fact of her
death. Not even prayer could re-
solve the conflict in his mind; the
dancer’s final attitude is one of
deep and eloquent despair.
A speakeasy in the ’40’s was the
scene in Laura Lee Stearns’ read-
ing of Dorothy Parker’s monologue
Just One More. The actress did
amazing work with her props—a
table, chair, and empty glass. She

President McBride
Explains Activities
In Alumnae Report
“The students and faculty write
the history of any period in col-
lege” explained Miss McBride in
her speech explaining the activi-
ties of the college to the alumnae
on Sunday, November 6, in the
Deanery. Besides Miss McBride,
students Emma Cadwalader, Mari-
lyn Muir, Marilyn Reigle, and
Louise Kimball spoke.
Miss. McBride stated that in
mountain climbing “as soon as you
get to the top of one peak you see
another,” and compared this phen-
omenon with the problems with
which the faculty has been pre-
sented in the past ten years es-
pecially. “It is unsatisfactory work
because’ you can see how much
‘}more there is to do.” In this work
the students and faculty have
shown much integrity. The faculty
has been given many awards out-
side the college, and since there
are practically no research funds
in the College, research done by
the faculty is on their own time
and is highly competitive.
The curriculum has been great-
ly expanded during the last ten
years, especially in the fields of
Russian, religion, medieval studies,
anthropology, and the nursery
‘School. The next project will be
expansion of studies on the Far
East, an important aspect of con-
temporary thought which has been
greatly neglected by the College
until now. Concerning expansion
in building, Miss McBride said that
such buildings as Park-and- Grad-
uate Center were very fortunately
built in the ’30s at a “time of
bedrock prices.” Recently, since
prices have gone up, most of the
money has gone into renovation
rather than building, for example
the Applebee barn which the Col-
lege “hopes to have done by

Need of Balancing
Finances of World
“The great economic problems
we face today are not internal, but
world-wide; boundaries have ex-
tended beyond the United States,
and our interest must lie in the
whole free world,” declared Leon
H. Keyserling, chairman of the
Council of Economic Advisors, on
November 138th in Goodhart Au-
ditorium in his analysis of “Amer-
ican Economy and World Peace”.
The United States must have an
interest in international economy,

economy can never be completely
balanced unless world economy is
balanced also. Insofar as our do-
mestic stability is concerned, the
United States has survived severe
tests of economy: the country was
restored to certainly reasonable
‘prosperity during the time be-
tween the depression and World
War II; the war saw an immense
defense production program which
proved itself adequate not only
for the war effort, but also for
civilians and for industrial expan-

Alumnae Group
Listens to Cox
And MacGregor
Speaking in the newly opened
Vest House, ‘Mrs. Rachel Dunway
Cox and Mr. Geddes MacGregor
addressed the college alumnae at
their afternoon session on Satur-
day, November 15. They were in-
troduced by Eleanor Marquand De-
lanoy, 19, first Vice-president of
the Alumnae Association,
Mrs. Cox told the group of the
purpose and objectives of the
Child Study Institute. The service
of the Community is the immedi-
ate aim. The Institute provides a
psychological and guidance clinic
for children. in cooperation with
the Lower Merion Township
Schools, and is partly subsidized
by them. Last year, the instituie
served 426 children, offering nv.
only psychological testing ani
guidance, but counselling and so-
cial case workers.
Second, the Institute is directed
towards preparing better teachers
for children. Through the college
Education and Psychology Depart-
ments, it attempts to give Bryn
Mawr students valuable training
in educational methods. In addi-
tion, it seeks to train students in
counselling methods for aiding
confused children.
The third objective is directed
towards training students for com-
munity citizenship. The student
can learn to cope with the prob-
lems she might face as a board
member of clinics and other civic
organizations, thus enabling her to
take an active and intelligent part
in community life. In addition,
the knowledge of family manage-
ment and child care offered to the
student through the Child Study
Institute will prepare her for her
own family life. It is directed to-
wards bridging the gap between
college life and family experience.

ment of History of Religion since

Maugham Satire
especially contributed by
“I don’t know that in life it mat
ters so much what you do as what
you are. ‘No one can learn by the
experience of another because no
circumstances are quite the same.”
This is the essence of W. Somer-
set Maugham’s comedy of manners,
The Circle, which the College The-
atre has chosen as its next presen-
tation. Best known as a novelist,
Maugham has written many fine
plays. The most famous of these
are The Circle and The Constant
Wife, a later success.
The Circle ‘made its debut in
New York at the Selwyn Theatre
on September 12, 1921. Its first
run was its greatest, and the suc-
cess was due in part to the stars,
Mrs. Leslie Carter and Mr. John
Drew. After playing in New York
for six months the company went
on a tour which continued until
spring. The most recent Broad-
Drama Clubs Select ‘The Circle’
on Upper Cass
Laura Lee Stearns, °56
way production was in May, 1938,
at_The Playhouse. Tallulah Bank-
head and Grace George claimed
the stellar roles.
There has been no revival of The
Circle with a tremendous run, al-
though the play is extremely pop-
ular in London repertoires and
American summer theatres. The
satire of upper class life has made
it a modern classic, and its popu-
larity can be attributed to the sure
technique of Maugham’s charac-
terizations. The play does not
hinge upon clever situations, but
rather upon clever characteriza-
tion, and therein lies its lasting
merit.
The Bryn Mawr College Theatre
and the Haverford College Drama
Club are presenting The Circle as
their second play of the year. Per-
formances will be Friday and Sat-
urday nights, December 5 and 6.

Alumnae. Activities
In the past, there have been many references made to
the “turning wheels” behind the scenes at Bryn Mawr. It is
within this complicated system of institutional operation
that the Alumnae work. Because what is done is for the
benefit of every student, each of us should be objectively
aware of. what on our campus we owe to Alumnae interest in
Bryn Mawr and in us. ,
At present, there are fifty-four girls who, because of
Alumnae regional scholarships, are enabled to study here.
Thirty years ago these scholarships were begun. Through
local benefits, sales, and a generous giving of time, the re-
gions have maintained their interest in each class entering
the school. In addition to this personal interest in each new
class, the alumnae send gifts to the college for use in such
projects as the Rare Book Room, the gift of the Class of
1912,
The Friends of the Library is one of the latest Alumnae
interests; by means of membership they obtain donations
which not only provide new books but also are utilized with-
in the Library itself, an opportunity by which every member
of the student-faculty community benefits. Here, an avenue
is open to all Alumnae and friends of Bryn Mawr, for there
are annual memberships ranging from $5 to $250 as well as
$1000 life memberships.
As individual units, the graduated classes, the national
- regions, the 208 project funds, and the specifically interested
groups work separately and yet for a common cause, Bryn
Mawr. The College Endowment is the whole of which they
make up such a vital part. Props? the aa of Bryn

Current Events
Miss Robbins Analyzes
Events in U.N.
Upheavals
Miss Robbins, the speaker on
Current Events for November 17,
revealed many dramatic incidents
which have occurred in the Us N.
in the past week. The resignation
of Trygvie Lie, the suicide of Mr,
Feller, the stand America will take
regarding foreign policy, European
and foreign suspicion of the U. S.,
the fear and apprehension caused
by the election of Eisenhower, the
possibility of his reversal of deci-
sions, the internal lack of co-oper-
ation within the UN itself, are all
questions contributing to the
threatened deadloek in the U. N,
Mr. Lie resigned because of ov-
erwork, but also, added Miss Rob-
bins, because he was not sufficient-
ly supported. He said he was no
longer acceptable to the Russians.
Mr. Feller committed suicide be-
cause of overwork and because “he
was unhappy about the investiga-
tions.” Yet, in a free country and
in one maintaining good will, why
4| should Lie’s assistant kill himself?
Russia’s Stand Unknown
Miss Robbins stressed: the fact
that recent happenings had been
caused by American policy and
not necessarily by Russia, whose
stand in relation to warfare is not
known. Miss Robbins pointed out
out Russia’s re-armament program,
but will Russia resort to the ex-
ceedingly more beneficial and ec-
onomic practice of allowing her en-
emies to fight each other or does
she not intend to fight at all?
Colonial policy becomes increas-
ingly more of an issue. [What is
America’s stand on the revolt in
Indo-China? The American bur-
eauracy established in France is
very unpopular, and Mr. Schuman,
in a very forceful speech on Ar-
mistice Day declared France was
not getting the money she had
asked for. She had spent twice as
much money on Indo-China as the
Marshall Aid plan allowed her.
she herself was once in that posi-
tion?
Korean Position
In Korea the postion is again
not understood, and England fears
greatly the war’s extension into
China, for, like France, she has
lost many lives and large funds.
The question of Tunis and Mor-
occo and the policy regarding the
Arab-Asiatic world is becoming
vitally important. Italy greatly
fears another war, and Miss Rob-
bins referred to “peace” signs she
had noticed while touring Europe,
signs which were bordered by the
hammer and sickle sign.
As regards the bad feeling
about American financial aid, Miss
Robbins feels sure that far better
feelings would ensue if America
paid out less money under the
Marshall Plan and removed tariff
restrictions. The removal of the
latter would include the removal of
distrust which England and Hol-
land, the East, and other European
countries have for the U. S.
Another form of tariff restric-
tions are immigration laws which
prohibit a large number of the in-
telligentsia from entering the U.S.
in cases where there is the slightest
‘suspicion of communism. Miss
Robbins feels that England, with

it is not only the family that has
a direct effect on the child’s char-
acter, but also the school and com-
munity. Just as family life should
pring out the creativeness and in-
dividuality of the child, so the
school should teach him how to
work with a group. A child cannot
be expected to fit into any set pat-
tern, but neither should developed
talents be exploited. Most import-
ant in childhood, is the fact that
the child must accept himself, and
see himself as’ an individual.
- Miss Marion Sack, principal of
Wayne Grammar School, explain-
ed how a parent may use clinical
psychology to know her child bet-
ter. In this field, she stated, more
would be accomplished if the teach-
er as well as the parent could re-
ceive results of guidance counsel-
ing. It would prove advantageous
to the child if the teacher knew
the child well and worked in co-
ordination with the parents. The
clinical findings should integrate
home and school instead of separ-
ating them as so often happens.
Emotional growth of the child
was discussed by Mr. Robert Taber
of the Philadelphia Board of Edu-
cation. Here again, stress is on
the individuality of the child. The
parent, teacher, school, and psy-
chiatrist all affect the child emo-
tionally.
Dr. Dehne, Superintendent of
‘Friends Hospital, talked of the
pressure put on children. Often,
when a parent feels anxiety, the
tenseness is too easily passed on
to the child. A parent has to be
careful, too, not to assume that
his ambitions and wishes are his
child’s. Homes would be happier,
Mr. Taber further remarked, if
parenthood was considered the fine
career that it is,
The problems of adolescence
were enumerated by Dr. Jean
Franics, a counselor at Lower
Merion High ‘School. She illus-
trated the place of teacher, par-
ent and community, comparing
them with a baseball team: the
parent, the owner, the school, the
manager, and the community, the
coach. Two teenagers told their
ideas of the responsibilities of
parent and teacher. They asked
parents to be available, to accen-
-tuate early discipline, to command
and offer respect, and to be quick
to praise but slow to criticize.

recreated the murky atmosphere
(“It is you sitting next to me, isn’t
it Fred?”) and the friendly, lone-
ly, finally maudlin sentiments of
a woman getting drunker, sip by
sip.
Anne Mazick and Liz Klupt next
gave a dance suite whose original
choreography was inspired by
three poems by E. E. Cummings.
The first was a delightful picture
of Spring which Anne Mazick
characterized in the children’s play
and her interpretation of phrases
like “mud-luscious”, Most. enjoy-
able was her treatment of the
“little lame balloon man” who
whistles “far and wee”; the slow
sadness of the lame man’s gait in
her interpretation was subtly re-
solved to the mischievous spirit of
the “goat-footed balloon man” who
whistles “far and wee.”
In the second poem, Liz Klupt
described the autumn—“the wind
has blown the world, the sky, and
the leaves away”—with grace and
directness.
The third was an interpretation:
of love and the lover’s feelings—
“forever was never till now’. Both
dancers were assisted by Leslie
Kaplan who read this selection.
‘The dancers themselves read the
other two selections which gave
the dances an elusive, personal
quality.
She Who Gets Squeezed, inspir-
ed by the opera The Love for
Three Oranges, is practically im-
possible to describe. Presented in
a fantastical setting, the basic
story seemed to be of two oranges
who were squeezed while duelling
over the third orange who gets
stabbed by the prop man.
The performance was_ highly
original (including sound effects
put together by the author-actors
on a tape recorder) and a com-
pletely enjoyable end to the eve-
ning’s entertainment. The per-
formers were Candy Bolster, Char-
lotte Busse, Doris Kaizer, and So-
fia Liljencrants.
Informality was the keynote of
the whole evening. The size of
the Workshop contributed some to
the friendly feeling between audi-
ence and entertainers; on the
whole, Arts Night gave the im-
pression of an evening when ac-
tors and spectators both got to-
gether to relax and simply enjoy
themselves.
Continued from Page 1
Chair of Philosophy and Religion
was Mr. MacGregor’s topic. Fol-
lowing a summary of the mate-
rial covered and the objectives of
each of the four courses in the
department, he noted that discus-
sions in the beginning Philosophy
course evince a strong religious
interest in the average student. It
is this interest which the Religion
courses attempt to develop and en-
courage. The aim of the depart-
ment is to engender in the student
intellectual honesty, a love of
truth, and a deepened religious
conviction. It attempts to teach the
student to interpret and compare
ideas, seeking an objective charac-
ter of thought.
Pointing out the problems faced
in attempting to remain objective
in any liberal investigation, Mr.
MacGregor stated that we must

jectivity is beyond our powers in
science and art, no less than in re-
ligion. We must accept the best
views we can form, recognizing
that relative knowledge is the only
right form of knowledge.
The objectivity towards which
the secular college, as compared
with the denominational college
rightly strives should .not be re-
garded as an attitude of arrogance
in knowledge, a refusal to admit
wrong. A Bryn Mawr that was
secular in this sense would be as
dogmatic and obscurantist in its
scientism or its humanism (for
these are religions too) as a col-
lege that was “religious” in the
worst possible sense. Christianity
stressed the relativity of knowl-
edge long before scientism or hu-
manism were there at all.
If all faith perished, stated Dr.
MacGregor, so would all intellec-
tual activity, for there is no desire
for knowledge without some kind
of faith. The value of all knowl-
edge lies in its being able to pro-
vide a criticism of itself, and all
that Christians can hope to do is
_to criticize their own thinking
they may “Think God’s
after Him.”

‘Don Juan Shows Actors’ Importance
Due to Fine Performing, No Scenery
by Kay Sherman, 754
The dominant characteristic of
Paul Gregory’s production of Don
Juan in Hell is the amazing flex-
ibility of its staging. It is pro-
duced as a reading, with the four,
characters, Charles Boyer as Don
Juan, Vincent Price as the Devil, |
Cedric Hardwicke as The Statue, '
and Agnes Moorehead as Donna’
Anna, in dinner dress, seated on
high stools, with their scripts be-
fore them. It would seem difficult
for the actors to call forth the nec- |
assary mental power from the au-.
dience to provide an imaginary
setting. But clever utilization of
the very apparel of the characters,
of the simple props, and of subtle |
pantomime, make the use of any
other mediums unnecessary.
But the staging would be of no’
value had not the actors made un-
usual and clever use of the facili-
ties at hand. Agnes Moorehead’s
indignant flip of the page of her
script as her father reminds her
that now he is her junior in age,
and Hardwicke’s pinch-nosed per-
usal of his eyeglasses as he in-
tones that heaven is full of posi-
tion-minded Englishmen, are only
two examples.
The pantomime and expressions
of all four of the actors were su-
perb, although Boyer tended in the
beginning of the piece to appear
blank and expressionless rather
than weary and bored. Agnes
Moorehead’s portrayal of the trans-
formation of Donna Anna from a
77-year-old to a beauty of 27 was
excellent, and her conceited primp-
ing before an imaginary mirror
caused one to look twice before re-
alizing that a mirror was lacking.
, Hardwicke’s statuesque bearing
never quite unbent, even when he
was most bewildered by the long
philosophical arguments.
(Perhaps one of the most delight-
ful surprises about the production
was Vincent Price’s portrayal of
the Devil. It is a great task to
fill: Charles Laughton’s shoes, but
Vincent Price’s suave, smooth
voice, in addition to his Satanic
appearance, filled the bill. He ad-

Stimulates Thought

Do you ever feel you would like
a chance to ask important people
questions that no one else ever
seems to ask? Do you have defin-
ite ideas on a BP soul you
would like to defend against recog-
nized leaders in that field?
The new TV program, Junior
Press Conference, has found a way
for college students to fulfill these
aims with a half hour show pre-
senting a panel of four students to
ask questions of a recognized lead-
er in one field. The subjects dis-
cussed are controversial, such as
politics or whether college foot-
ball is a sport or a business and
ones that would interest college

Yugoslav Student
To Audit Classes
Mr. Kazimir Vidas, student of
economics at the Zagreb Univer-
sity in Yugoslavia, is visiting
Bryn Mawr today and tomorrow.
Invited to visit the United
States by the N.S.A. and W.S.S.F.
to study American colleges and
their student governments for six
months, Mr. Vidas is spending this
month in the Philadelphia region.
During his stay at Bryn Mawr
he will speak to the League board-
and the Alliance Association as
well as attend classes. At 7:15
Thursday night he will speak in-
formally in the Common Room un-
der the auspices of the I.R.C. in
conjunction with the Alliance.
Mr. Vidas’ visit is part of the at-
tempt of the Alliance to bring to
the campus people with many dif-
ferent viewpoints on world prob-
lems. He is a communist, and,
therefore, represents an approach
to world issues which we too often
dismiss ‘but should try to under-
stand,
He has taken part in the activ-
ities of student onganizations at
Zagreb University since 1949 when
he was elected secretary of the
student union there. In 1950, he
was one of the organizers and ad-
ministrators of the working camp
for foreign and Yugoslav students
in the Student City near Zagreb,
Dubrava. In 1951, he was elected
president of the student union of
Zagreb and a member of the cen-
tral committee of the Student
Union of Yugoslavia.
During the summer of 1952, he
was administrator of the working
camp for foreign students near
Rijeka. He has been in England,
Sweden, Norway and Denmark as
a representative of the Student
Union of Jugoslavia.
Student Teachers
Offer Instruction
The annual classes which the
League provides for the Maids and
Porters are in session again.
These classes, given in fields re-
quested by the maids and porters,
are taught by students. Meetings
are held weekly at 8:30 p.m. At
present the courses being given
are as follows:
Spanish: instructor, Joyce Greer
English: instructor, Lynne Du-
chauney
Knitting: instructor, Mary Kay
Cooper
Current Events: instructor, Bar-
bara Goldman
The Current Events classes be-
gan the year with several lectures
by Mr. Peter Bachrach.
There is now a need for a quali-
fied First Aid instructor. If you
are interested, contact Nancy Tep-
per, Rhoads South.

Bryan Green Plans
Canon Bryan Green was at Bryn
Mawr last December, and since
that time he has been travelling
not only in the United States, but |
also to the Gold Coast of Africa,’
pack to his home in Birmingham, |
Kngland, and now he is coming
back to Bryn Mawr to renew old
triendships and to make new ones.
The date of his arrival will be
Tuesday, December 2, and he will
be on campus two days for an in-
formal visit with the students and
faculty.
Bryan Green is an -evangelist
for the Church of England. He is
known as one of the greatest, if
not the greatest speaker of his
kind. He is Canon of the Cathe-
dral of Birmingham, England.
Small Gatherings
Bryan Green’s previous visit
consisted mainly of large meet-
ings held late at night but the em-
phasis this year is on smaller,
more informal gatherings and dis-
cussions. During his visit, Canon
Green would like very much to get
acquainted with the students ot
Bryn Mawr on an individual basis.
From 9:30 a. m. to 1:00 p. m.
on Tuesday there will be oppor-
tunities for small groups to talk
informally with Bryan Green. If
anyone would like to speak to him
personally, she is asked to make
arrangements with Bryan Green
either at this time or after one of
the discussions.
Meals in Halls
The Chapel Committee has plan-
ned that Canon Green will eat
lunch and dinner on Tuesday and
Wednesday in the residence halls.
He will eat in a different hall for
each meal in order to allow more
students to meet him.
On Tuesday afternoon at 4:30,
there will be tea and discussion in
the Common Room. All students
are invited.
There will be meetings both
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
in the Music Room. The meeting
on Tuesday will begin at 8:30
p. m. and the Wednesday meeting
will be at 7:30 p. m. Following
these talks there will be discus-
sion in the Common Room.

Happy days are here again!
Both Bryn Mawr teams came off
the fields victorious last Tuesday
afternoon. They played against
one of which played well and put
up a fight, one of which had spirit
but lacked teamwork. The varsity
game was a swift and low-scoring
one. The score, 2-0, indicates the
circle. However, the teamwork and
stickwork of the Bryn Mawr team
The first half of the junior var-
sity game was very sloppy, with
much wild driving and careless
passing on the part of both teams,
In the second half the Bryn Mawr
forward line started sparking and
rolled up a score of 12 goals to
Rosemont’s none. There was real
teamwork on the field and it is a
pleasure to write about it.
The line-up was:

Kastern Delegate
|Meets the Press
Sunday, November 16 at 11:30,
the Junior Press Conference was
televised over Channel 6 directly
from WFIL - TV, Philadelphia.
Ruth Geri Hagy was moderator.
Sir Percy C. Spender, Austra-
lian ambassador to the United
States and chief delegate to the
General Assembly of the United
Nations, acted in the capacity of
authority on Southeast Asia, the
main topic of discusion. The four-
member panel, manned by Elmer
Brock of LaSalle, Peter Kenan of
Columbia, Helen Rogers of Cath-
olic University, and Tod Mikuriya
of Haverford, assailed Sir Percy
with a steady barrage of questions.
Lie Resignation
The discussion opened with a
question concerning the resigna-
tion of Trygve Lie. Sir Percy de-
clared that he knows nothing more
than the public concerning this is-
sue, but feels certain that a new
Secretary General, once agreed
upon by the Big Five, could do lit-
tle more than his predecessor in
settling the Korean situation, for
“the issue is the fundamental dif-
ferences between East and West.”
Concerning anti-United States
sentiments in Europe and Asia
due to aid from NATO and the
Point Four Program, he stated that
little exists. Communist agents
play up the actually small amount
for purposes of propaganda.
“There is not such a fundamental
cleavage between Asia and the
United States.” However, “no na-
tion will ever have any other na-
tion telling it what to do.”
Columbo Plan
In 1950 Sir Percy acted as lead-
ing agent in drawing up the Co-
lumbo Plan of alliances in South-
east Asia, similar to the North At-
lantic Treaty. This was extended
to all Asiatic nations, but few ex-
pressed any real interest. As a
result, Australia made pacts with
only three nations—New Zealand,
Japan, and the Philippines. The
original intent of the Columbo
Plan has Been lost due to the feel-
ing that military alliances will
solve the world situation. Suc-
cess can come only through the
efforts of world organizations with
military, economic, and all other
types of aid.
Tod MiKuriya,.a Japanese-Amer-
ican, questioned Sir Percy concern-
ing the Australian appeal for
farmers to Japanese-Americans
settled along the West Coast.
‘Why not appeal directly to over-
populated Japan for migration?”
Australians are faced with the
problem of cheap labor, and a pos-
sible upsetting of the nation’s
economy and standard of living.
Does Australia agree to the re-
armament of Japan as a protec-
tion against Red China? Austra-
lia has already signed a treaty in
agreement to Japanese rearma-
ment, but once that rearmament
becomes so great as to threaten

‘but we will not necessarily have
‘ ‘another depression, since there
Leon H. Keyserling’s answer tO wasn’t one after World War II
when the defense outlay was cut
much more.”
Questioned about future employ:
ment, in connection with depres-
sion, Mr. Keyserling said that he
could be quoted as saying: “There
will be very high levels of employ-
ment in the next calendar year—
not recession.” He said that we
should see within a year if his pre-
‘diction was right. Several reasons
which he gave to back up his state-
‘ment were that we have @# lot of
|stabilizers which we didn’t have
before; that we have an extensive
tax system; that we have a large
budget; and very important—that
politically, no administration in
'power would allow unemployment
to go on without taking steps.
When Leon Keyserling was ask-
ed about the possibility of lower-
ing taxes, he quoted Holmes:
“*Taxes are the price we pay for
'civilization’.” He added that they
‘gan and should be reduced when
possible, but that they cannot and
should not when there gs a deficit.
Parity Prices
Do parity prices in agriculture
benefit our economy? to which
query Mr. Keyserling answered
that they naturally interfere with
the free-play of our economy, but
that they are an improvement over
no protection for farmers.
In answer to the question about
the relationship of the Council of
Economic Advisors with the pres-
ident and the cabinet, Mr. Keyser-
ling replied that it is a close rela-
tionship and that they work quite
closely, “as it should be in any
true administration.”
Away from economic affairs and
on the personal side—Mr. Keyser-
ling likes Bryn Mawr very much
even after so short a visit. “I think
Bryn Mawr is terrific!” he added.
When asked how he liked speaking
‘to a ‘Bryn Mawr audience, he re-
plied that it was a very enjoyable
,experience. “I only wish it could
have been longer.”

Berliner Justifies Science Course Requirement;
Dudden Emphasizes History Research Expansion
Continued from Page 1
disciplined in the use of scientific
method. x
The science departments have
the double problem of teaching the
beginning course, which fulfills the
science requirement, and the prep-
aration of majors in the subject.
Mr. Berliner emphasized his belief
that the best beginning course for
the major is also the best begin-
ning course for the non-major.
While general science courses can
be very worthwhile if they are
well-taught, they often fall into
just a history of scientific advance-
ment which leaves the student with
no true understanding of scientific
method.
Beginning Chemistry
In the beginning chemistry
course, the students are introduced
to the “real stuff”, not just broad
generalizations. Although the
course may be difficult for some
students, Mr. Berliner feels that
there ought to be some challenge
in education, and that the student
who cannot meet this challenge is
not of college caliber.
Preparing a student majoring
in chemistry presents a different
type of problem: that of how much
concentration in a subject should
be allowed within the framework
of a liberal arts education. A
strong major, not complete spec-
ialization, is not opposed to the
idea of liberal arts. It guarantees
that the student does not go from
course to course without really
understanding anything thorough-
ly; but it gives the student a good
foundation upon which she can
continue in graduate work, medical
schools, or in a job.
Cultural Heritage
Mr. Berliner also emphasized
that the study of science does cre-
ate an awareness of our cultural
heritage. It can play as much a
part in creating this awareness as
the study of the humanities. He
concluded by saying that the stu-
dent well-prepared in science can-
not help but apply some of the sci-
entific method and expansion of
her intellectual capacities to her
life after college.
Mr. Dudden chose as his empha-
sis the expansion in research in
American history. Additional ma-
terial and events of the present
day and publication and_ re-
search on newly discovered mater-
ial of the past have added greatly
to the understanding and enlarge-
ment of scope of American his-
tory. The idea of what constitutes
history has changed too. Former-
ly it was considered a study of
past politics, with undue emphasis
placed on chronology. The new
conception stresses economic, s0-
cial, scientific, and cultural affairs.
The past must be understood, not
memorized.
Plea for Research
In accordance with this new con-
cept, Mr. Dudden made a plea for
emphasis and research on special
sections of history, ‘First, he ask-
ed for better business history. The
United States has been primarily
a middle-class, business society
since before the Civil ‘War. Yet, we
know little about business; and
what we do know is based on bi-
ased material, where as it should
be based on the correspondence,
speeches, and business letters of
employers and employees.
Local history should also be
stressed. By local history, Mr.
Dudden means not antiquarian
trivialities such as where George
Washington slept, but the local
patterns of justice, education, in-
dustrial activitiy and urban life.
He would like a study on the level
seikiiceieai Nek eg A
Sdanb ae i aes
of education and the people in our
government, of the political behav-
ior of different people, of the mass
of common law accumulated on
the local level, and of the develop-
ment of urban communities.
Additional study of the problem
of Negro slavery and the causes
of the Civil War is likewise need-
ed. The Civil War tore the nation
in a way in which it probably could
never be torn again and still sur-
vive. For that reason, it is nec-
essary to examine and understand
its causes so that we can avoid
another.
Ethics of History
Mr. Dudden ended with an em-
phasis on the ethics of history.
The historian should not present
the facts in such a way as to twist
them in order to suit his purposes.
This is being done by many today,
such as Senator McCarthy; but the.
true historian must be truthful
and present the facts correctly.
Continued from Page 1
| process, however, allows flexibil-
ity, and damage can be repaired
by trained personnel.
There are more children in the
United States than ever before,
and fortunately most have a se-
cure family life and can attend
school. There are many _ excep-
tions, though, and it is here that
the child welfare services can help
most.
There are always children with
and
those who know no real home.
Schools are crowded, and 33,000
new classrooms will be needed to
accommodate the increased popu-
lation. Health and medical serv-
ices are still inadequate, and the
youth are not able to get the best
known treatments. There is in-
equality in the services offered by
different states, and to remedy
this the local, state and federal
governments must cooperate.
broken or insecure homes,
Medical progress has reduced
the death rate among mothers and
children, and the handicapped are
finding a place in the welfare pro-
grams, but there is also the tre-
mendous problem of psychiatric
care. Juvenile delinquency is ris-
ing again, and these children must
be helped in the early stages of
a..ti-social behavior. ‘Courts and
law enforcers should have the ad-
vice of trained psychiatrists.
The best approach, however, is
one which enables the child to
grow up feeling secure and with-
our aggression or
drives. The basis of this is the
firm mother-child relationship, es-
pecially in the first few years of
life. Parents, said Dr. Eliot, want
to do the best for their children
and at times need help.
The Children’s Bureau has pub-
lished a booklet containing the
main points gathered from the
iMid-century (White House Confer- |
anti-social |
ence on Children, and from this
parents can learn the needs of
children at various ages. By sup-
plying these needs, the parents
can help the child to develop into
a trusting individual. There should
be more programs like Bryn
Mawr’s, Dr. Eliot added, for this
type of college-community coop-
eration can be most beneficial.
On a broader plane, certain
steps must be taken if the child -
welfare plans are to succeed. More
trained workers are needed, and
economic barriers must be broken
down so that all areas may gain
from increased research.
The program, if it is to be suc-
cessful, must have the backing of
the public. Many people realize
the child’s need for the proper con-
tacts, for limitations that will en-
able him to develop gradually, ses-
curely, loved by parents who feel
satisfied wth their role of parent-
hood.

ination of every member of the group, stated:
“It is my opinion that the ears, nose, throat and
accessory organs of all participating subjects ex-
amined by me were not adversely affected in the
six-months period by smoking the cigarettes
provided.”

THE COLLEGE NEWS
Wednesday, November 19, 1952:
Guest Alumnae and Undergraduates Trade Ideas
On Present Bryn Mawr Activities and Traditions
Continued from Page 1
Alumnae ‘Weekend next year.” De-
spite building expansion, classes
have had to be held at inconveni-
ent hours because of lack of space.
Miss McBride concluded that ex-
pansion can only be accomplished
by the persistence, daring, and de-
votion of the students and faculty
as well as the confidence which the
faculty, board, and students have
in each other.
Mrs. Scattergood then introduc-
ed the student speakers who ex-
plained how extracurricular activ-
ities enter into the topic of Widen-
ing Horizons. Emma Cadwalader
spoke on The College News and
the Athletic Association. She ex-
plained the part of the News in
presenting and coordinating col-
‘lege activities and also informing
readers of the opinions of students
and faculty on national topics such
as the pros and cons of the recent
presidential candidates. The Ath-
letic Association has a wide variety
of activities. Emma mentioned
that “Perhaps all you (alumnae)
remember our calisthenics and
Miss Applebee’s favorite, water
polo.” But athletics now is not
“just building muscles.” The stu-
dents now schedule events with the
help of the coaches, are revising
the constitution, are interested in
the Applebee Barn as a much need-
ed recreation center, and are con-
cerned with the clubs such as the
Outing Club of which “Princeton
seems to be the main objective.”
Emma concluded that knowledge
on the hockey field is equally im-
portant to that in the major field
in widening the student’s horizons.
- Marilyn Muir spoke about the
Alliance, the League and_ the
World Students Service Fund.
Such activities as the recent Pak-
istan weekend, sponsored by the
Alliance, show its import in mak-
ing students and faculty acquaint-
ed with national and international
affairs. The League also offers
opportunities for students to know
conditions in the world, with such
which incorporates the six lange
organizations as the Haverford
Work Camp, where Marilyn tried
her hand at plastering ceilings,
and at the same time became ac-
quainted with different social stan-
dards and received practical exper-
ience, —
Marilyn Reigle spoke on Self-|
Government and said that in her
perusal of old rule books she had
found most of the. changes super-
ficial; for example the changes in
attitudes towards men, and wine in
the rooms. The real expansion was
done when Self-Gov was first cre-
ated. She said that it is hard to
produce material evidence for the
accomplishments of Self-Gov that
they are mostly sporadic and that
“Self-Gov has been incorporated in
the traditions of Bryn Mawr.” Its
strength comes from the adminis-
tration which guides but does not
dictate, and from the students who
are made to feel the responsibility
of keeping the rules. The Execu-
tive board copes with infringe-
ments of the rules. Students
brought before the Board are usu-
ally filled with fear and shame and
rarely does the same student ap-
pear before the Board more than
once. The President of Self-Gov
sits on the (Undergrad Council
campus organizations but has no
leader of its own, having found
that the groups are able to handle
their work more successfully alone.
Marilyn concluded that Self-Gov
helps one in “defining one’s place
in the community” and shows the
reaction of students in emergen-
cies and when they are reasoning
under pressure,
Louise Kimball summarized oth-
er organizations on campus, par-
ticularly those concerning academ-
ic work, because “we do attend
classes and study.” She emphasiz-
ed the importance of the connec-
tions between academic work and
extra-curricular activities. “It is
up to the students to extend the

sion. In the post-war period, em-
ployment was maintained and
prosperity continued.
Aware of this background, Mr.
Keyserling emphasized that the
“United States cannot withdraw
and be aloof on its island of lux-
ury and prosperity.” We must find
a way for helping others to raise
their standard of living, to at-
tempt an equalization throughout
the world, so that the organism
may function as a whole. The
success of such a policy is essen-
tial to this country; “although
averting a war is possible, as is
‘winning’ a (World War III, interna-
tional problems extend beyond
physical security.”
Mr. Keyserling asserted that we
will never fail by being strong and
denounced the talk of “dangerous
internal weaknesses” in economic
policy as Communist propaganda.
This is not a political matter, nor
an issue between administrations:
the changes to be made with a new
party will not be noticeably sharp.
With every administration, there
will be the problem of preserving
international unity.
The United States is completely
capable of either increasing or de-
creasing its international respon-
sibility, if foreign policy calls for
it. Economy in the country is able
to withstand a great decrease, as
it did immediately following World
meet the faculty outside of class-
es. The Student Curriculum Com-
mittee discusses revisions. Recent
problems have concerned the Oral
System and Freshman English.
Similarly, the ’20s witnessed con-
ferences concerning the require-
ments of a hygiene course, cuts,
and posting grades in Taylor.
Language, Philosophy and Dra-
matics clubs as well as the Chor-
us, Chapel Committee and many
other organizations help to keep
our extra-curricular life in a maze
horizons of student activity and
initiative” and also important to
of possible activities pertaining to
widening our horizons.
War II, or will be successful in
combatting a sharp increase, such
as that in the period preceding the
Korean outbreak. Fortunately,
there is equal resilience each way,
the relative capacity to national
production being about six per-
cent per year without strain.
“There can be no partisan credit
given for this ability,’”’ continued
the economist. Both public and
private policies have been contrib-
uting factors: large federal bud-
gets have automatically contracted
and expanded with private enter-
prise—as an example, when pri-
vate assets fell in 1949, taxes also
fell. In addition, labor and man-
agement are constantly learning
more about economics in regard to
markets, prices, and wages. Mr.
Keyserling noted that the slight
depression of 1949 had definite po-
tential of being greater if indus-
try had not had this awareness.
This ability is responsible for
the fact that the United States has
fifty per cent production capacity
of the free world, while having
only six percent of the population,
Our job now is to realize that
other countries must be helped to
rise on the economic scale; Mr.
Keyserling feels it is the most
practical policy we can follow.
“The people of the United
States must be generous and must
learn that civilization did not start
here, nor end elsewhere,” he con-
cluded. Our aid, not in the sense
of being Santa Claus or merely
presenting gifts, will help to aid
other free countries to increase
their own material to bring up
their production level. This type
of economic policy will not only
readjust world trade by making it
more extensive and equalized, but
will also reduce the cost of arma-
ments in a world already troubled
by international economic and po-
litical problems.

numerous honors that he has re-
ceived for this contributions to
science.
Included in the material which
Mr. Simpson has published are not
only technical scientific treatises
but. also studies of the significance
to man of the knowledge he has
gained through science. The Mean-
ing of Evolution, which might be
classed in both of the above cate-
gories, is a widely read study by
Mr. Simpson of the hitsory of life
and its significance for man. The
few words that follow from his
writings on man’s place in nature
serve to stimulate interest in the
lecture to come, and perhaps also
indicate the importance and com-
prehensibility of the subject mat-
ter and of Mr. Simpson’s treat-
ment of it.
“Tt is important to realize that
man is an animal, but it is even
more important to realize that the
essence of his unique nature lies
precisely in those characteristics
that are not shaded with any oth-
er animal .. . The infantile fan-
iasy of becoming whatever we
wish as fast as we please is sim-
ply unrealistic in a material cos-
mos, but this is obviously no argu-
ment against the fact that we do
have a measure of conscious con-
trol over what becomes of us.”
Children’s Aid Provides
Preparation for Future
Continued from Page 5
If more people can have an op-
portunity to minister to the needs
of children there will be a new
generation with a healthy outlook
upon life and the resources neces-
sary to make the world a better
place for all because of under-
standing and a desire for peace.
