Recipients
Miss ‘Katharine E. McBride,
President of Bryn Mawr College,
announced on April 1, 49 awards in
the Graduate School to fellows and
scholars for the year 1953-54, be-
ginning next September.
The awards include grants of
$1700 each for resident fellowships
to seven American students. Bryn
Mawr resident fellowships were
the first ever to be given to wom-
en in the United States and have
been awarded yearly since the Col-
lege was founded.
Eight young women from other
countries received grants of $1400
each, including a student from the
Philippine Islands, the first ever to
receive a graduate scholarship
from the College.
The other awards, including res-
ident graduate scholarships given
to students in the United States
and Canada, are in amounts of
$500 and $1,000.
The recipients are as follows:

Board Desires Poll
Changes Necessary
In League By-Laws
For several years, the Bryn
Mawr League has not been func-
tioning within its Constitution. Of
the nine Articles, only two are cor-
rect. All the Articles concerning
the purpose of the organization,
representation on the Board, duties
of the members, methods of elec-
tion, ways in which the Constitu-
tion may be amended, and the
handling of finances should be re-
written. Rather than amending
the Constitution, which would be
an extremely lengthy process, the
League Board feels it would be wis-
er to abolish the entire Constitu-
tion as it now stands, and present
a new one, to be drawn up by the
League Board, to the Legislature
for approval. The Gonstitutions of
both Undergrad and the Alliance
provide for a situation such as this,
although there will be ample op-
portunity to discuss the matter fur-
ther and to offer any suggestions
you may have in Hall Meetings
which will be held sometime next
week,
We hope that the proposals men-
tioned above meet with your ap-
proval. There will be a College-
wide vote on this issue on Thurs-
day, April 23, and it is of the ut-
most importance for everyone to
vote if the proposal is to go
through.
If you want to have a Sopho-
more Carnival, a Maids’ and
Porters’ Show, or a Junior
Prom, it’s up to everyone to
work for them. The committees
are badly in need of more help.
Heraldic shields and crests
and other booth trappings are
in preparation down in the
Rhoads smoker.
Stage crew and costume man-
ager for the show are in desper-
ate need of aid in Goodhart.
Rock is the headquarters for
the manufacture of Junior
Prom’s stained glass windows—
see Ann Shocket. Come to the
gym and help plan and decorate
any time after noon on Friday.
You plan on enjoying the
weekend fun; it’s up to you to
help with the preparations.
Athletic Association Combines Prizes,
A pplebee Barn Dedication Ceremonies
Awards Night this year will be
combined with the dedication of
Applebee Barn, the completion of
which will culminate the Athletic
Association’s project of the past
year and a half. The evening will
start with a dedication ceremony,
at which Emmy Cadwallader will
unveil a plaque presented by last
year’s Athletic Association.
Jones has made a survey of Cam-
pus organizations. She wil] speak
about all these organizations, par-
ticularly stressing the Athletic
Association and presenting a stu-
dent’s impression of its accomplish-
ments throughout the past year.
Then Awards Night proper will
take place, with presentation of
athletic prizes for the year
53. These prizes are based on the
point system, and include blazers,
pins, and owls.
The Applebee Barn is complete
Evie
in its fundamental construction.
Miss Applebee gave, in addition to
the barn itself, three thousand dol-
lars to help in financing renova-
tions. Although everything basic,
such as roof and floor, has been
taken care of, many details stil)
must be added. There is, for. in-
stance, no running water or elec-
tricity as yet. Furniture is need-
ed, and although a beautiful old
fireplace has been bought, money
is still needed badly to make up
the debt. It is hoped that this
money — $700 — will come from
class donations.
The barn still needs to be paint-
ed, and a work day is being ten-
tatively planned to do this. On
this day, April 25, it is expected
that many people will come to help
in finishing up the construction of
_Applebee Barn.

College to Attend
‘Connecticut Yank’
By Maids, Porters
‘“Hello—Gwenny Wenny—Guess
who this is. No—no—no—it is thy
husband, King Arthur.” In his
modernized court, King Arthur
(Louis White) calls his wife,
Queen Guenevere, (Tabitha Trower)
by the switchboard and becomes
quite annoyed with her incorrect
guesses as to who the caller is.
Unfortunately she has found a
new love, Sir Launcelot (Aloysius
Mackey).
The night before Martin (Odelle
Brown) is supposed to marry Fay
(Dorothy Backus), she finds him
singing “My Heart Stood Still”
with Alice (Pearl Bailey), the girl
he really loves. When Fay hits
him on the head with a bottle,
Martin is left unconscious, and in
his dream he becomes “fA Connec-
ticut Yankee in King Arthur’s
Court.” Here he is dubbed “Sir
Boss” and begins a process of
modernization which results in an
incongruous mixture of old and
new. Martin is captivated by
Sandy, the Queen’s lady-in-wait-
ing, who represents Alice in the
dream, but complications set in
when Sandy becomes preoccupied
with women’s rights, and Morgan
La Fay (Pearl Edmunds), a hussy
queen. who represents Fay, be-
comes preoccupied with Martin.
Merlin (George Bryan) adds a de-
lightful magic touch to the ancient
court.
Angela (Evalin Johnson), Sir
Kay (Francis Lear), Evelyn (Al-
ston Morris), Sir Galahad, John
Stephens), and another knight
(Silvester Sewell) are the other
important characters who add to

Dr. Aaron Explains
Important Effects
Of Locke's Reason
Dr. Richard Ithamar Aaron cited
John Locke as the philosopher wic
exercised the greatest influence
over eighteenth century thought in
both France and England. Com-
bining reason with intuition, Locke
arrived at a type of rationalism,
surpassing Descartes’ mathema-
tical calculation and Pascal’s spir-
itual irrationalism, which was
acknowledged by the eighteenth
century thinkers, who felt they
were inaugurating a new era. Vol-
taire accepted Locke’s thesis that
sensation and intuition comprise
knowledge, and reason is a regu-
latory factor to discover the prob-
ability or certainty of knowledge.
Locke’s influence on future gen-
erations extended into the fields of
religion, politics, literature, and
science. His religious philosophy,
relating faith and reason, appealed
to the Deists, who agreed that
people could not believe anything

Bryn Mawr Alumna, Phyllis G. Gordan
Lectures On “How Latin Can Be Fun”
Wednesday, April 8 witnessed
the Graduate School Assembly in
lieu of the customary twelve
o’clock classes. Following the an-
nouncement of Graduate Student
Awards and Fellowships _ listed
elsewhere in this paper, Phyllis
Goodhart Gordan spoke on HOW
LATIN CAN BE FUN.
Mrs. Gordan, Bryn Mawr Grad-
uate of the Class of 1935, member
of the Alumnae Association and
member of the Board of Directors
of Bryn Mawr, received her M.A.
at Radcliffe. Being a wife and a
mother of four children did not
deter her from continuing research
both in the United States and
Europe. It is said that, with a
microfilm projector set up beside
the babies’ playpen, in the living
room, she combined her hobby of
reading Latin documents from the
Renaissance with entertaining her
children.
This hobby—the rediscovering of
temporarily lost Latin documents
and letters concerning one of the
Renaissance’s greatest patrons of
the Arts, Poliziano Medici or
“Podge the Florentine”, and his in-
timate circle of friends similar to
that of the English Samuel John-
son—was begun during Mrs. Gor
dan’s Junior year at Bryn Mawr
and has continued until the pres-
ent. Through research at Har-
vard, Mrs. Gordan found sufficient
evidence of many of the 180 men
in Pogio’s group of friends, in-
cluding such humanists as Niccolo
Niccoli, Leonard Bruni, Prince
Henry the Navigator, and Pope
Pius, to warrant further investiga-
tion in Italy. Since 1949 she has

Parents’ Day
How often have we wished that our parents could have
first-hand knowledge of our life at Bryn Mawr. Parents’ Day
on May 2 will afford them this opportunity. Sports, lectures,
and teas have been planned to make the day a successful and
an enjoyable one. But these activities are not for the par-
ents alone — they are for us, the daughters, as well. We have
given ourselves the opportunity’ to show our fathers and
mothers the places where we spend most of four years of our
lives — our halls, our classes, our library, éur athletic facili-
ties.
The day’s activities will begin with registration and cam-
pus tours. Then there will be badminton and fencing match-
es, a synchronized swimming exhibition, and a lacrosse game.
Members of the faculty will be in their offices to meet parents
all morning, and there will be a coffee hour at 10:30. Immed-
iately following there will be a music hour, and at 12:00 Miss
McBride will speak at an assembly in Goodhart. The morn-
ing will end with a buffet luncheon in the halls.
The afternoon’s activities will consist of two sessions at
which members of the faculty will explain the purposes and
methods of their departments. The first session will include].
science and mathematics, modern languages, English and the
classics, and politics, economics, and sociology. The second
session will entail history, archaeology and history of art,
philosophy and religion, and psychology and education. These
sessions have been arranged to benefit conflicting interests,
so our parents can enjoy participating in meetings without]
missing others they wish to attend. At 4:00 there will be a
tea for students, parents, and faculty.
Parents’ Day weekend fortunately coincides with the].
Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate ‘Tennis Tournament, which is
to be held at Bryn Mawr this year. Many eastern colleges’
will participate in the tournament which will take place
throughout the weekend. The finals especially, at 2:00 on
Sunday afternoon, is another event definitely worth attend- ;
ing.
ful one. We can make it so by regarding it as a parents’ and
daughters’ day. If we become as enthusiastic as our parents
are, we will have a new tradition at Bryn Mawr... :

Russian Foreign Policy

Subject
“What is happening in Korea to-
day is only part of the story,” said
Dudden when he spoke of
i“Korean Peace Talks” on Monday,
April 18 in the Common Room. We
must ask ourselves, “Do the Rus-
sians really want peace?” and if
so, has the ultimate plan for world
‘revolution been changed.
In Korea, preparations are being
made for the exchange of all sick
or ailing prisoners. The UN is re-
ceiving 600 prisoners of whom 120
are Americans and is releasing
5,800 prisoners: 705 Chinese and
5,100 Koreans. “The first Ameri-
can reaction will be one of disap-
pointment.... there are still 3,000
American soldiers held prisoners,”
said Dr. Dudden. There is also
fear that the captives returned will
be those successfully indoctrinated
into Communism. More important,
perhaps, is the fact that the Com-
mumists had hardly finished ar-
rangements for. the sick and
wounded when they began pressing
for a complete return of prisoners.
In Berlin, the commanding gen-
eral of the Russian government
apologized for the shooting of a
British plane and made sugges-
tions for wider and more clearly
marked air corridors to prevent a
similar occurrence. Russia has also
recently expressed interest in ex-
patriation of citizens of various
countries who were trapped in
China.
Campaigns
Within Russia itself, “the Hate-
America campaign stopped just as
if you shut off a tap.” The cam-
paign, which had been going on
for the past two years, described
U. S. soldiers in Korea as “just
Nazis in disguise.” The soldiers
might have been portrayed in such
hateful terms to prepare the Rus-
sians to fight—part of a_ secret
agreement that Russia would as-
sist China under certain circum-
stances. Recently, there has been
a decrease of approximately 80%
in anti-American articles in the
Soviet press.
The Anti-Jewish campaign has
also stopped. (Russia had broken
relations with Israel because of a
bomb thrown into the Russian del-
egation, and Jews had been perse-
cuted. ‘While the policy continued,
it was considered a move to gain
Arab support. The end of the cam-
paign was highlighted by the re-
lease of seven doctors who had
been imprisoned on the charge of
improperly diagnosing the ail-
ments of high Russian officials.
Those who exposed the doctors
were called treasonous, although,
at the time, the doctors confessed.
Understanding
Many prisoners in Russia and
her satellites have been granted
amnesty. Prices of consumer goods
in Russia have gone down and
more goods have been promised.
The old appeal to the people for
more and more sacrifice to build
up Russia has been dropped.
There have been many steps to-
ward international understanding.
American newspaper editors were
allowed to wander around Russia
.. and even carry cameras. Road-
blocks and trade barriers are grad-
ually being diminished. Russian
historians are now giving the U.S.
equal credit for defeating Hitler
and Russia has promised to send
a big, new navy cruiser to Queen
Elizabeth’s coronation.
“We can only conjecture on why
these changes have taken place,”
stated Dr. Dudden. The reason is
a deep one, a carefully coordinated
world wide policy. One possible
cause might be political stress
within the Soviet Union or its Sa-

In a high-low, deep, sweet voice, united with his wife and daugh-
E. E. Cummings placed a delight-
ful emphasis on love and individu-
ality in his last of a series of lec-
tures at Harvard University. De-
scribing the “sub-humag_ super-
state,” the U.S.S.R., he began his
criticism of the lack of individual-
ism in the world with the endless
line of tovariches (comrades), in
wLOoscow.
As an American newspaperman,
he stood in line waiting to view the
entombed Soviet hero, Lenin, and
afterwards marveled more at what
he had not seen than at what he
had seen.
“Numberlessly each otherish,”
the unsmiling tovariches disturbed
Cummings’s love of alive, free in-
dividuals. These “images whose
unaliveness could eliminate I[’s
from their being” are part of an
“inhuman unworld” which .Cum-
mings has seen elsewhere in Amer-
ica, perhaps in Coney Island.
Reading of Eimi
Following his reading of part of
EIMI, he went on to describe a
worse type of world, dominated by
the omnipotence of knowledge. He
continued with a reading of parts
of Santa Claus, his allegorical
play, in which the “world is so
blurred, the inhabitants are one
_ another.” Santa Claus, in a world
t:
of salesmen, holds the one item
that cannot be sold—understand-
ing. Death suggests that Santa try
selling something nonexistent in
the name of science, for once the
people hear science, they will buy
anything. The idea of selling
“wheel mines” seems fantastic to
Santa Claus, but Death advises,
“Why say fantastic when you
mean scientific?” The mob buys
wheel mines, but after an accident
has occurred, they threaten Santa
Claus, and his only salvation is to
prove his non-existence. The mob
agrees to accept the word of a little
girl, because “nobody can deceive
a child,” and when the child iden-
tifies him as Santa Claus, he is
saved from the fate due the wheel
mine salesman.
The child recognizes Santa Claus
even when he is completely dis-
guised as Death. They are both
looking for a woman who enters,
mourning because “Knowledge has
taken love out of the world and all
the world is empty,” void of the
love which creates individual men
and women and the joy brought by
children. At last the child runs to
her mother, bringing back her joy,
and Santa Claus, the father, is

ter.
Cummings’s voice portrayed per-
fectly the sameness of the “faces,
faces, faces” in the endless line at
Moscow, the high pitch of the mob
buying wheel mines, the despair of
Santa Claus, the joy of the little
girl. He showed himself a captiv-
ating performer, as well as a
charming creator.
“IT am someone,” said Cummings,
“who feels that love matters...
Nothing measureable matters a
good goddamn.” The “feelingly
indivisible individual” counts in
this poet’s world. “Ecstasy and
anguish, being and becoming,” are
the important factors in life.
Reading Keats’ “Ode on a Grec-
ian Urn” and part of Shelley’s
“Prometheus Unbound,” Cummings
left his listeners contemplating the
notion that “Beauty is truth; truth
beauty. That is all we know on
earth and all we need to know.”

All-Star Cast Gives
Evening With Bard
The greatest all-star-cast of the
season, headed by Eva LeGallienne,
Basil Rathbone, Faye Emerson,
Margaret Webster, John Lund, and
Viveca Lindfors comes to the
Academy of Music on April 22 in
“An Evening with Will Shakes-
peare,” a bill of highlights from
the Bard’s works presented by the
American Shakespeare’ Festival
Foundation.
Miss Webster is directing the
program, as well as appearing in
it and providing the narrations be-
tween scenes. Mary Hunter has
been the producer in behalf of the
Foundation, which has designed
the production to focus public in-
terest in (and to raise funds for)
the building of a permanent Ameri-
can Shakespeare Festival Theatre
and Academy that will be a coun-
terpart of Stratford-on-Avon.
Acting in support of the six
stars will be Paul Ballantyne, Fred-
erick Rolf, Lily Lodge, and Del
Horstmann.
The new presentation is a spring
edition of the format successfully
tested last December at the New
Parsons Theatre in Hartford. The
bill consists of a selection of scenes
from Shakespeare’s works, includ-
ing Twelfth Night, Henry V, Jul-
ius Caesar, The Taming of the
Shrew, Macbeth, Henry VIII, and
others.
‘Hans Kohn Offers
Talk On Germany's:
Future In Europe~
“Germany’s Future in Europe”
will be the subject of Hans Kohn’s
speech at the Alliance Assembly on
Tuesday, April 23 at 12:30 in
Goodhart.
Mr. Kohn, who was born in
Prague, Czechoslovakia, and who
came to the United States in 1933,
has concentrated mostly on Inter-
national Relations and History.
He wasa lecturer at the New
York- School of Social Research,
professor of history at Smith, and
has taught at Harvard, the Uni-
versity of Colorado, Mount Hol-
yoke, Grinnell, the University of
Chicago, Dartmouth, and North
western. -
Since 1949, Mr. Kohn has been
Professor of History at City Col-
lege of New York. He received a
Guggenheim fellowship” in 1940
and was at the Institute for Ad-
vanced Study at Princeton in 1949.
Among Mr. Kohn’s_ eighteen
books about the Orient, history,
nationalism, and international re-
lations are Force and ReaSon,
Revolution and Dictatorship. The
Idea of Nationalism, and World
Order in Historical Perspective. He
has also been an editor of the En-
cyclopedia Britannica.
Observer
In a world of paradoxes it is
easier to think about their insolu-
bility than to solve them. The
rules for the game are not univer-
sal; everyone decides for himself
whether the paradoxical situation
can be resolved or cannot, and he
will make this decision again and
again throughout his life.
There are those who accept the
paradox as such—who “only stand
and wait” — because they must.
Others, like knights-errant, go
running gallantly out to solve
every impossible situation—where
there is always the danger of tan-
gling with a windmill instead of
the enemy.
It is only important to consider
.| well before accepting or rejecting,
instead of being resigned imme-
diately to inevitable contradiction.
Often the paradoxical circum-
stances may demand toeing the
line, or leaping from one camp to
the other. Consistency is a virtue
only insofar as one consistently
subjects the matter to considera-
tion.
“No man is an Iland, intire of it
selfe,” wrote John Donne, “ ... I
am involved in Mankinde.” At the
same time, every man is individ-
ual and strongly aware of his
aloneness. It is this paradox of
life and our various solutions of
it that serve at once as our stum-
bling-block and our salvation.
INCIDENTALLY...
In view of approaching mid-
semesters, not to mention papers,
The News, in the interests of the
College, offers a few pertinent
facts in the noble cause of aca-
demic ingenuity:
1. The walls of Babylon were
85 feet thick.
2. Central Italy was badly in
need of fertilizer even before Cato:
3. Frederick the Great rode a
white horse and played the flute.
4. Sophocles either died of lack
of breath in the middle of one of
his own sentences, or strangled on
a grape.
5. A human hair lasts approx-
imately sixteen-hundred days.
6. Milton had red hair.
An unusual topic for Sigma Xi,
of interest to non-scientists as well
as to scientists, “The Path of Sci-
ence and the Path of Religion” was
the subject of Mr. O. Theodor
Benfey’s lecture Tuesday evening,
April 7, in Park Hall. Mr. Benfey
is a professor of Chemistry at
Haverford.
Because he believes that misun-
derstanding of religion often arises
from misunderstanding of the
basis of science, Mr. Benfey ap-
proached his subject in light of
methods of finding truth, and of
attitudes of mind similar in the
two fields. He reviewed briefly some
history of mechanistic philosophy
and science and then compared the
nature of scientific and religious
development.
Reduction
In the middle nineteenth century,
physics was concerned with the re-
duction of natural phenomena to
physical forces, and the under-
standing of motion of particles ac-
cording to Newton’s laws. Francis
Bacon, who questioned almost
every known concept, accepted
the atomistic philosophy without
question. Keplar, Copernicus, and
Newton who all studied the laws
of motion, needed God in their uni-
verse as the force that had set the
universe in motion and kept it
running smoothly. LaPlace’s sys-
tem had no need of God controlling
the world, and therefore relegated
Him to a secondary place. Phi-
losophers began to question the
basis of atomistic philosophy and
men like Hume challenged the va-
lidity of accepting such a philos-
ophy since all man’s evidence of
nature is due to sense impression.
Then the positivists adopted the
view that man, and therefore sci-
ence, cannot distinguish between
primary and secondary causes and
must try to correlate experiences.
If scientific truth may be found
by such a correlation of experi-
ences, then by similar standards
truth should also be obtainable by
correlating many different relig-
ious experiences to find the core of
similarity common to them all.
As science developed, the at-
tempt to explain electromagnetic
phenomena led to the development
of field theory and a reconsidera-
Specialized Nurses
Lead Hospital Visit
especially contributed by
June Edelman, 755
Saturday morning, April 11, stu-
dents from Bryn Mawr and other
nearby colleges had the opportun-
ity to witness first hand the occu-
pational and physical therapy de-
partments of the Valley Forge
Army Hospital.
Sponsored by the League, the
tours were conducted by army|
nurses trained in these specialized
fields. In the occupational ther-
apy section, which is more or less
the psychological side of rehabil-
itation, the group saw Korean vet-
erans at work making wood and
copper objects or weaving cloth;
and every so often there was a
child who had been stricken with
polio, happily constructing some
simple objects. And across the cor-
ridor, in the physical therapy
ward, the therapists could be seen
massaging a paralyzed limb or ap-
plying low voltages of electricity
to hands whose muscles had be-
come useless. The group observed
operation of the complicated, cost-
ly equipment which is aiding in
giving new life to those who have
given so much of theirs.
After the tours, the students had
a pleasant coffee and doughnut
hour in the officers’ club.
Science and Religion Complement.
Both Paths to Truth
, Says Benfey
tion of the nature of physics. With
the collapse of the atomistic phil-
osophy and then the advent of
relativistic theory, the relation of
science and religion could be con-
sidered in a new light.
In both scientific and religious
training, men are taught to be re-
ceptive to new theories and new
truths, to become more perceptive
so as not to be blind to truths that
present themseives; in both, lan-
guage is a useful tool, but it is
the meaning of the words that is
bas... ansight is essential to both
fields. The basic levels of science
consist of statements of measure-
ment results, of law, of principles
and the principle of causality.
They are all related, and in the
attempt to go from collective phe-
nomena to new laws, there is
some sensing of the significance
before studying individual phe-
nomena. Each step from one level
to another involves some sensing
of their interrelation; there are no
logical steps to follow, but great
men, with the facts before them,
may gain insight into some new
theory by just letting the facts
seep into their brains, and not at-
tempting immediately to explain
them rationally.
Similarity
Here lies a tremendous sim-
ilarity between great men of
science and of religion; the lat-
ter may gain insight through
prayer and silent contemplation
leading to a religious experience.
It has been claimed that religious
experiences cause such changes in
men, that after such an experience
a man’s evidence can no longer be
relied on; but at times new sci-
entific developments so changed
men that they refused to accept
new concepts if they were in op-
position to the old ones. Thus the
idea of an irrational number was
So contrary to the beliefs of the
Pythagoreans that they spent
years trying to express the square
root of two as a rational number.
Modern physics has recognized
the possibility that wave and par-
ticle theories may be complemen-
tary rather shad mutosiis exclu-
sive, and perhaps the vitalists and
mechanists stand in the same re-
lation in philosophy as waves and
particles in physics. The idea has
been suggested that science and
religion stand in this same rela-
tion, and are complementary ways
of finding truth.
Laughton Presents
Eveningof Reading
Charles Laughton comes to the
Academy of Music on Friday eve-
ning, April 17, presenting “An
Evening with Charles Laughton”
under the management of Paul
Gregory.
The Laughton “evening” con-
sists of random readings by the
noted star from selected prose and
poetry, a large portion of it by
American authors. This form of
dramatic entertainment, a refresh-
ing novelty for which American
audiences have shown great favor,
was originated, or rather revived,
by Laughton a couple of seasons
ago.
Now he takes time out regular-
ly from motion picture and theatre
work for his reading tours around
the country of two to three months
and is looked forward to eagerly
by crowds to whom his appearanc-
es, according to the reports of
critics in scores of cities, have
come to regard him as a prime at-
traction.
Tickets for “An Evening with
Charles Laughton” are now on sale
at the Academy of Music Box Of-
fice.

Locke Inaugurates Form
Of Intuitive Rationalism
Continued: from Page 1
man mixes his labor becomes his
own property, so that property is
therefore determined by man’s
labor rather than by law or so-
ciety. It is then the business of
the state to secure the individual’s
property. In justifying the right
of the Whig government to secure
the landed gentry, Locke provided ;
the germ for other systems.
Bentham’s utilitarian principle
of the greatest happiness for the
greatest number uses Locke’s no-
tion that men have a right only to
what they can use, not what they
may waste. The capitalist who
employs others feels himself en-
titled to the property wherein his
servants’ labor is mixed with com-
mon land. He can trade the prod-
ucts of his private property and
amass a fortune, as long as he
does not waste it. The labor
theory of value applies to social-
ism. If labor justifies property
and places a value upon things,
the worker is exploited when the
value is not given to him in full
but is collected by his employer.
In regard to religion, Locke
thought that a rationally justified
belief was preferable to any other,
but that different sects arise from
varied interpretations of revela-
tion. If an idea contradicts rea-
son, people cannot accept it. His
theory was adopted by the Eng-
lish Deists, who rejected the irra-
tional in Christianity, and French
thinkers, who tended to reject
Christianity .completely, resulting
eventually in atheism. Locke’s
beliefs, unlike the atheism that
sprang from them, involved spir-
itual guidance accompanying rea-
son to find truth in the scripture.
Reason is not sufficient because
God speaks beyond reason.
Transformation of Species
The suggestion of transforma-
tion of species can be traced back
to Locke. He was interested in
the philosophy of Newtonian sci-
ence but was more interested in
biology and anatomy than in phy-
sics. He observed that individuals
of different species had many
similarities, that the lowest order
of one kingdom and the highest of
the next kingdom are closely re-
lated, and therefore all species
seem to be linked, with the fixity
of species doubtful.
Locke’s philosophy explains the
emergence of rationalism in eigh-
teenth century France and Eng-
land. It also heralded, in the sec-
ond half of that century, move-
ments of modern thought in poli-
tics and morals, evolution and
transformation of species, Deism
and reasons for its insufficiency.
Dr. Aaron, professor of philoso-
phy at the University College of
Wales and visiting professor of
philosophy at Yale, was the first
speaker to use the grant of the
class of 1902 in commemoration of
their fiftieth reunion.

than in animal transportation, a
sailboat race is also planned. Try
your skill at the throwing games,
or set your Haverford man’s skill
against that of some Princeton

Pony rides and maybe even fire
engine rides (courtesy of the Bryn

‘available for the adventurous.

This year’s Sophomore Carnival
will supply whatever you look for
in a carnival, so come and play
and eat your fill.
Junior Prom
If you dream of days of old,
when chivalry reigned supreme,
then Knights and Daze, the Junior
Prom, is the dance for you. There
will be characters from out of the
past, and dance music that is
strictly contemporary.
The Suburban Squires, a local
singing group of young college
grads will be on hand to add to the
musical fun, as well as B.M.C,’s
own Gwen Davis and the Octangle.
Music featured will be from A
Connecticut Yankee, and the gen-
eral air of chivalry should prove
most unusual and refreshing. This
year’s prom is a truly original de-
parture from the usual themes, and
the medieval aura with all sorts of
romantic gaity will please eye and
ear. Knights and Daze will be a
Junior Prom to remember.

On Latin “The Language of Histories and Laws”’
Continued from Page 1
examined all material’ in sixteen
Italian towns.
Pogio is of interest to students
of art, history and political phil-
osophy as well as of classical lan-
guages. Trained as a lawyer, with
a knowledge of classical Latin, he
was also a locater of lost classical
texts and apparently went to Eng-
land for this purpose. He wrote
back to a friend that England was
almost barren of books—‘‘You had
better give up hope for books from
England; they care very little for
them here.”—and that he must re-
turn in disappointment. His
friends were not disappointed
however, for he managed to smug-
gle into Florence a fabulous cargo
of works of art and luxurious Eng-
lish cloth. In 1416 he was a mem-
ber of the Council of Constance;
he was attached to the Papal
Court Curia as Secretary; he was
present at the Coronation of
Henry V and Catherine of Valois
as Holy Roman Emperor and Em-
press.
Pogio and his circle of friends
were prolific letter writers; “he
was to some friends in his time in
somewhat the way we of today
write to newspapers,” said Mrs.
Gordan who has found some four
hundred volumes of unpublished
correspondence, both official and
personal, all in thé best Ciceron-
ian Latin. These letters concern
every imaginable topic, from sick-
ness, travels, and politics to tracts
about the great difference in age
between Pogio and his wife. In
one letter he gave an exacting cri-
teria for the selection of a future
mate; in another he presented a
dissertation on child psychology.
Mrs. Gordan concluded by enum-
erating three reasons for “why
are these letters worth bothering
about?” First they tell a story
of the emotions of an “extremely
articulate group of friends” living
in a time of violent literary activ-
ities due to the influx of Greeks
from Constantinople. In speaking
of the Pope, Pogio states: “He
looks upon me quite kindly; I hope
he will look so again.” Second,
the documents tell a story of in-
ternational aspects. Pogio knew
Beaufort, the prosecutor of Joan
of Arc, which fact, “incidentally,
he never mentions.” Finally, they
tell a story of “book collecting,”
not only of texts long considered
