Atomic Energy
Possible Power

Limited Capital, U235,
Retard Release
;" Of Energy

‘ Henry D. Smyth, the third lec-
turer in the Crenshaw series
spoke Monday night, November
12, on the subject, “The Nucleus
as a Possible Source of Power.”
Dr. Michels introduced Dr. Smyth,
who is past chairman of the phy-
sics department at Princeton, and
is now,a member of the Atomic
Energy Commission. Mr. Smyth
discussed and _ illustrated with
slides the nuclear reactor which
is now used to convert mass into
energy.

Scientists, ever since Einstein
revealed his formula of E=MC2,
have had an interest in convert-
ing mass into energy. One pound
of pure uranium equeals in energy
180,000 pounds of coal. But this
uranium must be extracted from
its ore, which is far from pure.
About one pound of ore is equal
to thirty-seven pounds of coal in
energy content. It is necessary
to go through an isotope process
to extract the uranium from the
ore. U-235 is the only uranium
isotope possible for this use.

The initial discovery from which
this energy-from-mass process is
based is as follows: When a neu-
tron is absorbed by the U-235
atom, the atom is broken up and
a fission is produced which in
turn produces the energy. More
neutrons are also produced by
this breaking.. Thus there is mul-
tiplication “generation by genera-
tion” at a very rapid rate. Other
materials are also produced by
these neutrons. Plutonium is
made by passing these neutrons,
produced by the U-285, through

Alliance Assembly
To Hear Whipple

The Alliance will present Clay-
ton E. Whipple, Chief of the Food
and Natural Resources Projects
Staff, at its second assembly at
12:30 on Monday, November 19 in
Goodhart auditorium.

Mr. Whipple joined the Techni-
cal Cooperation Administration in
October 1950 after working on
grass roots rural improvement
programs as adviser to the gov-
ernments of several countries in
the Balkans and the Near East for
thirteen years. These programs
accomplished on a small scale with
limited funds what Point Four is
now doing on a large scale.

The speaker was born in Perry,
New York in 1903. He received his
B. S. and M. S. degrees from Cor-
nell University and taught in the
Graduate School of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture. He was a
member of the Appointments and
Assignments Board and a Foreign
Service Examiner.

4 Colleges Salute
Hockey’s Infusion
By Miss Applebee

by Emmy Cadwalader, °53



The Hockey Weekend, honoring
the fiftieth anniversary of the in-
troduction of hockey into this
country by Miss Constance M. K.
Applebee, began on Saturday, Nov.
10, with a buffet lunch in Radnor
Hall for all the players, officials
and committees, who worked to
make this celebration possible.
After lunch the various teams,
Mount Holyoke, Vassar, and Wel-
lesley, three of the colleges where
Miss Applebee had taught, the
Bryn Mawr Varsities, and Alum-
nae, gathered in the gym to line
up for the parade down to the
hockey fields. They made a very
impressive sight as they marched
onto the fields, dressed in their
college colors and firmly holding
sticks and equipment, amid the
cheers of one of the largest
groups of spectators that has ever
appeared on the Bryn Mawr fields.
Each team stopped in front of

Miss Applebee, and sang their |”

college song and then joined the
watchers on the hill.

Crenshaw Lecture
To Stress Geology

M. K. Hubbert, geo-physicist
and chief geological consultant to
the Shell Oil CCompany in Hous-
ton, Texas, will give the final lec-
ture of the 1951-52 Crenshaw
series at 8:30 in Goodhart Audi-
torium, Monday, November nine-
teenth. Dr. Hubbert will outline, as
an excellent wind-up for the series,
excellent wind-up: for the series,
the extent and the positions of
the world’s sources of energy. A
specialist in many fields, Dr. Hub-
bert has made his greatest con-
tribution in the introduction of
quantative concepts into Geology,
developing scale models whereby
geological facts can be studied.

His other interests include
studies in structural geology,
studies of fluid flow through por-
ous media, studies of electrical,
magnetic, and gravitational pro-
spectings, and studies in mineral
economy and the evaluation of the
industrial complex. With this
varied field of interest, Dr. Huod-
bert has held several different
positions on such important pro-
jects as the U.S. Geological Sur-
vey and the National Research
Council, and during the war he
held the position of Senior An-
lyst of World Mineral Resources
on the Board of Economic War-
fare. Also he taught geology at
the University of Chicago, and
Geo-Physics at Columbia. In view
of Dr. Hubbert’s wide experience
and interest, this final lecture
promises to be very interesting.





McBride Speaks

On Advantageous
Cooperative Plan

Three College Cooperation was
the subject of Miss McBride’s
speech at Collection at Roberts
Hall, Haverford, on Thursday, No-
vember 8.

“T shall begin by talking of the
Haverford man,” began Miss Mc-

Bride, “about whom we think we|§

know more than we do. We al-
ways think we know the Haver-
ford man. If someone breaks in-
to a residence on campus, we say
‘That’s not Haverford’, If some-
one fires a cannon, ‘That’s Hav-
erford’. If someone destroys val-
uable property, we say, ‘That’s
not Haverford’. If someone leaves
a bed in Pembroke Arch with a
student tied to it, ‘That’s Haver-
ford’’.

“About cooperative plans more
generally,” Miss McBride went
on “most of the cooperative plans
for colleges began in the ’thirties.
The financial picture forced col-
leges to consider the advantages
of cooperation. Types of coop-
eration range from the extensive
ones being carried on at Clare-
mont, California, to the slighter

Miss McBride opened the eve-
ning by saying that the dinner and
Saturday and

where Miss Applebee had _ first
started working participated, were
in celebration of Miss Applebee’s
fiftieth anniversary of instituting

3\/and coaching hockey in the United

States. She read a letter from the
National Recreation Association
that praised Miss Applebee’s long
service in promoting athletics for
women.

President McBride then intro-
duced Laurie Perkins who appear-
ed dressed in a hockey outfit of
years ago. The first part of her
speech was in the form of a report
from the Bryn Mawr Athletic As-
sociation which was making great
strides in establishing Athletic
Scholarships and an Athletic De-
partment at Bryn Mawr. Laurie
then turned to the more serious
part of the evening and explained
how Janie Stone, last year’s pres-
ident of the A. A., had conceived
this weekend and that many
thanks were due Miss Applebee
for coming. As an expression of
these thanks she presented Miss
Applebee with a silver bow] from
the four colleges.

The next three speakers were
the captains of the visiting teams.
Ellen Kattwinkle of Mt. Holyoke
reminded her audience that fifty
years ago Miss Applebee added
the striking circle to the sewing
and cooking circles and thanked
her for her contribution not only
to Mt. Holyoke but to recreation in

“President Thomas at last
agreed to let us have swimming

suits with bloomers instead of
skirts, but she said that they ab-
solutely had to have a sash round
the waist!” This was a major
victory, for when Miss Constance
M. K. Applebee first came to Bryn
Mawr to teach Physical Educa-
tion, in 1901, college athletes of
the day wore corduroy skirts al-
most touching the ground, as well
as flannel bloomers, This was
the usual gym costume, but for
swimming, voluminous stockings
as well as head-to-toe suits were
the rule.





Physical Education was by no
means the well-organized system

game of basketball was in its in-
fancy as far as rules were con-.
cerned, and each college had its
own regulations. “Miss .Thomas.
had to oversee each basketball

down,” said Miss Applebee, “for
she believed in the physical health
of women as well as the mental
stimulation she so much advocat-

Manning Cites British
Problem in Iran

And Egypt

Mrs, Manning opened her dis-
cussion of Egypt and Iran at Cur-
rent Events on Monday evening by
reviewing the developmen tof oil
control in Iran.

Abadan, the site of the largest
oil refinery in the world, makes
use of some 60,000 employees as of
last vear, and operates on a pay-
roll of 2,000,000 pounds. In 1933,
the British government made an
agreement with Iran that the
Anglo-Iranian company would pay
16% profit to Iran for its oil; this
agreement was to last until 1993,
but during the war Iran was re-
ceiving a flat rate of 4,000,000
pounds, which after the war ex-
panded to 9,000,000 pounds.

‘Upon the assassination of the
pro-English Premier last March,
the new regime stepped in hoping
to nationalize the oil industry. The
new Prime Minister Musa Degh
was given the position with the
understanding that he would pro-
mote the nationalis mprogram.

Cost and Fees

On Wednesday, November 28, at 8:30 p.m. in the Com-
mon Room, an open meeting will be held to discuss costs and
fees. The cost of running the College is steadily increasing;
fees charged each student for room, board, and tuition, may
be affected, if these expenses are to be met.

This very important meeting will reveal some facts
about operating the college which are recognized by under-
graduates. Come and contribute your ideas on economy. Ef-
fective changes must be made—and soon.

Reserve Room Consciousness

An open versus a closed reserve room is the issue raised
in the questionnaire circulated by the Library Council this
week. Behind the facetiously posed quiz entitled “Are You
in the Know’? lie some rather hard facts of which all stud-
ents should be aware; mainly that as a result of poor attend-
ance to rules, the reserve room was in a wretched state last
year. To avert a repetition of this situation, a Library Coun-
cil was organized, headed by Caroline Smith, with members
elected by students eager for a well-run reserve room. After
meeting with librarians and holding discussion groups with
students, the Council brought to the College the old but im-

- portant question: Can we have an unsupervised reserve room,

or is this system no longer workable?

The questionnaire listed three possibilities: an open re-
serve room; an open reserve room with close supervision; or
a closed reserve room where students no longer have access
to the shelves.

It is obvious that the failure of the first possibility leads
to the second and the second to the third. It is equally evi-
dent that anything but an unqualifiedly open reserve room is
repugnant to all of us. At first putting the reserve room un-
der the powers of Self-Government was seen as a tentative
solution, but this was soon discarded as unfeasible and unde-
sirable. The Library Council states its policy: “self-govern-
ment in small letters with a feeling of moral and practical re-
sponsibility consonant with the other responsibilities even
to students should be establish

This old plea to the social conscience of the individual is
the only one the Library Council has seen fit to offer us. And
indeed, in view of the consequences implied by’ the failure of

an open reserve room, no other policy can be recommended.

We urge all of you to accept the problem of the reserve room

' as your own, and by such an attitude, pees rere ee

On [March 24, after many at-
tempts at negotiation, the British
Cabinet accepted the nationaliza-
tion. There was an appeal by the
British to the Hague Court to at-
tempt to postpone action; a pro-
posal which Iran refused to accept.

In June, Iran actually took over
the industry, and at that time the
U. S. stepped into the picture. We
tried to restrain any drastic Brit-
ish action and persuade Iran to
negotiate before taking further
definite steps.

During the summer Averill Har-
riman, ‘U. S. Ambassador-at-Large
succeeded: in re-establishing nego-
tiations and this was followed in
August by an attempt in the
Stokes ‘Mission. After all the fail-
ing negotiations remains the fact
that Iran has not been able to car-
ry on this industry alone, for even
now it is approaching bankruptcy.



Alum., College Teams
Attend Hockey Weekend

Continued from Page 1

The first match of the after-
noon, between the Bryn Mawr
second team and the Alumnae,
started off when Miss Applebee
threw in the game ball. The Alum-
nae team put on a great show,
because most of them hadn’t play-
ed since their college days, but
they weren’t quite quick enough
for the Bryn Mawr second, which
finally beat them 3-0. The rest
of the day was devoted to a round
robin tournament between Mount
Holyoke, Vassar, Wellesley, and
Bryn Mawr. Each team played
two games, and when all were al-
most exhausted everybody retired
to the gym again for tea. Some
eager souls went swimming, but
most people hurried back to the
halls to dress for the dinner that
night in the Deanery in honor of
Miss Applebee.

On Sunday morning at 10:30
the round robin tournament was
resumed, with each team playing
its final match. Also, much to the
joy of all concerned, Miss’ Apple-
bee consented to don her beloved
brown tunic and sneakers and do

|some much needed coaching be-

tween games, Her familiar voice
again rang out over the Bryn
Mawr fields, as it had many years
ago when she was director of
Physical Education, and players
jumped to attention. “Fat full-
backs” (as Miss Applebee says)
ran as they never had before, and
“silly little inners” were remind-
ed of why they were there. Sticks
on the ground and noses toward
the goal, all four teams played a
brand of hockey that they can be
very proud of.

The weekend ended with the
last whistle, and everybody pre-
pared to start back to her own
college or dorm to resume her
studies. Bryn Mawr will always
be grateful to all the undergrad-
uates, alumnae, and friends who
helped to make the weekend so
successful that each player hopes
that it can be done many times
again, and not just when there is
something to celebrate.



Nevertheless, on October 3, came
Britain’s final withdrawal from
Iran. Because of various newly de-
veloped oil fields in Europe, the
only very detrimental result has
been to British finance .

Jack Maxin Combines Skill, Versatility,
And Dignity in First Music Club Recital

by Nancy Fuhrer, ’55 and
Ann Shocket, °54

Jack Maxin, pianist, opened this
year's series of Music Club con-
certs on Sunday, November 11, in
the Gertrude Ely Music Room,
Wyndham. Perhaps the most sal-
ient feature of Mr. Maxin’s per-
formance was his ease in playing.
Without distracting the audience
by calisthenics, he managed to
play with fire and feeling.

The first half of the program
might have presented more vari-
ety. It consisted of four selections
by Brahms and Chopin, leaving the
listener with the feeling that Mr.
Maxin was incapable of playing
anything but Romantic music.

Within the’ limited scope of
these four compositions, Mr. Max-
in showed himself a capable and
agile pianist. In the second of
two choral preludes for organ by
Brahms, he achieved an impress-
ive resemblance to an organ’s full,
sustained tones. In the Capriccio
in F Sharp Minor, also by Brahms,
he showed a zest and jollity that
‘made the most of a sparkling piece
of music. “

(On the first of the Chopin com-



oe eS eee



Mr. Maxin showed a certain un-
evenness in maneuvering the dif-
ficult scale passages, but he play-
ed with the same heartiness that
characterized the preceding pieces,
making up for slight technical
difficulties. On the second Chopin
piece, a sonata in B minor, he
showed not only technical virtuos-
ity but maturity of expression,
giving perhaps the most satisfy~-
ing performance of the concert.
The sonata allows for sudden and
strong changes in moods, and he
handled these with restraint and
taste, without sacrificing the emo-
tional value of the piece.

After intermission, Mr. Maxin
played three modern compositions.
The first was the Zemach Suite by
Stefan Wolpe. The seven short
pieces in this suite were written
to ‘be danced to, and were original-
ly background for the recitation of
Biblical verses from the prophets.
Perhaps the distraction of dancing
and reciting would have made
them more interesting, but on the
piano each one was indistinguish-
able from the others in its sharp
dissonances, and nervous, irregu-
lar rhythm. Undeniably, Mr. Max-

East House Recognizes _
M. Storch’s Aid
In Hall Play

November 8, 1951
Dear Editor:

In the issue of November 1, I
noticed that credit was not given
to Marcia Storch of Merion Hall
for her participation in the East
House freshman hall play. Mar-
cia was kind enough to volunteer,
on short notice, to take the part in

We of East House are very grate-
ful to her for doing such a won-
derful job.

H. D. Smyth Explains
Nucleus’ Energy Role
Continued from Page 1

U-238 atoms.

There are many problems con-
fronting the atomic scientists.
One of the most important was
how to get a chain reaction to
occur in a mass of uranium. Since
there are not many neutrons
emitted from U285, it is hard to
produce a chain reaction. Four
things can happen to the neu-
trons once they leave the U-235.
They may escape, they may be
absorbed into impurities, they
may be absorbed by U-238, or
they may be absorbed by U-235
and produce further fission to
make a chain reaction.

The second general problem of
this process is to remove some of
the heat from the furnace so it
will not explode. Control is also
important. “The birth rate and
the death rate of the generations”
must be equal. This equalizing is
done by a controlling rod. A
fourth problem is that of shield-
ing. All the effects of the pro-
cess are radioactive, and the radi-
ations are very dangerous to op-
erators and to the reactor itself,
Heavy sheets of concrete are con-
structed for protection.

Some of the more specific prob-
lems include the necessity of very
pure uranium for the chain re-
action to work, and the need to
choose materials, other than uran-
ium, which go into the reactor
which do not absorb neutrons.
Also a moderator, usually graph-
ite or heavy water, is necessary
to slow down: the neutrons pro-
duced before they meet more U-
235. This mixture of uranium
and a moderator is necessary for
a reaction to go’at all, The mix-
ture must be cooled down some-
how. This is done by air and
water channels. If water is used,
is must be carried through a pipe
made of non-corrosive material
which does not absorb neutrons.
The maintenance of a reactor is
difficult, also, since it is hard to
work on the parts, which are ra-
dioactive, after the reactor is
“turned off”,

The slides which Mr. Smyth
showed illustrated the points he
emphasized, and also showed dif-
ferent types of reactors. One
slide showed the potential uses of
the energy produced. , These in-
clude heating water, air and
steam, and use in an atomically
powered gas turbine, Nome of
these uses have come into prac-
tice yet, however. The main rea-
son for this is that high tempera-
ture, which involves the corrosion
difficulty, is necessary for the’
power to be produced efficiently.
Although there are many tech-
nical difficulties, they are not so
many that they will not be solved.
Useful power can and will be pro-
duced from neutrons. The eco-
nomic problems (uranium is very
expensive) and the problem of a

limited supply of uranium are the

greatest bars to the ene of
useful power.

ago.

Ursinus teams, and the teams
were so evenly matched that the
scores ended in a tie. One of the
first team referees said it was one
of .the best games she had ever
umpired.

Due partly to the fact that D.

the previous week and was as fol-
lows:

The first team game was a fast-
moving, hard-hitting one. The
Bryn Mawr team played extreme-
ly well, but their game was more
defensive than offensive. The
backs were strong as usual, but,
although the forwards carried the
ball with good passes and skill,
they were not able to get it in
the Ursinus goal when they reach-
ed the circle, The final score of
the game was 0-0.

The » second team game was
much the same as that of the
first. There was more inter-action
between ‘the forwards and backs,
and a number of passing plays.
Here again though the score end-
ed in deadlock 1-1, the only Bryn
Mawr goal having been made by
Phil Tilson. —

Ursinus--had::.been-.expected . to

Renaissance and include a mag-
nificent procession of Flemish,
Dutch, German, Italian and Span-
ish masters, ending with out-
standing works of the 18th cen-
tury. The Van Dycks, the Titians
(twelve in number, the seven Tin-
torettos (including the famous
Susanna and the Elders), the Ver-
oneses, the Giorgione, the most
celebrated of all Vermeers, The
Artist in His Studio, the Rem-
brandts, are among these artists’
finest works.

Of particular interest to Amer-
ican audiences are the pictures
which have no equivalent in this
country, among them the two
wonderful Correggios, the six Vel-
asquez regal portraits and the vast
Caravaggio altar-piece. No Amer-
ican museum could exhibit from
its own possessions a group of
Rubens’ work equal to the eight
paintings in this exhibition.

An extraordinary painting is
that by David Teniers the Young-
er of the Archduke Leopold Wil-
helm in his gallery at Brussels,
where he was viceroy. The Arch-
duke was one of the three most
discriminating of Hapsburg col-
lectors, and the works bought by
him and shown in this painting
are among’ the most celebrated in
the world. Nine of them are in
the present exhibition.

for its chateau, winds for seven-

Loire valley. To the tired cyclist,
pedalling hard to reach this des-

of a kilometer means a deep
breath, and every kilometer mark
means so much darkening land

The chateau is on your left as
you coast down the slope into the

your immediate needs: warmth,
food, and rest. Just beyond the

chateau stands the first dweiling
house. You knock. A heavy-set,
sombre woman opens the door.
Behind her is the kitchen, lit by
a single lamp. The woman shakes
her head almost as soon as you
ask if she knows of a place to
stay. Her husband, a dry, defeat-
ed looking little man, ventures:

“She could stay at the Red
Horse.”

“Perhaps.” To me, “You may
ask down the way if you wish.

viewvoint, analyzed “Iran: Tinder
Box of the Middle East”. Iran is
the most vital factor in the Unit-

France, and Germany together.
Tran is the largest oil producing
state of the Middle East, which,
along with the United States, is
one of the two main oil producers
of the world. Located in Iran are
Abadan, the city which houses the
world’s largest refinery, and the
Angio-Iranian Oil Company, the
largest producer.

Oil is Iran’s only wealth. She is
as poor in water and soil as she is
rich in oil. Most of the inhabi-

till the soil as sharecropper peas-
ants who must pay for water as
well as for land.

Since the beginning of the cen-
tury the British and Russian de-

both of which are virtually im-

Swomley Counsels |LAST NIGHTERS

A Doddering Socrates
Explores Truth
In Athens
by Paula Strawhecker, ’52 YW

How should a play be judged?
For the purpose of this article, it
seems prudent to establish a cri-
terion. As always under this by-
line, there is one criterion: does
the play accomplish its design?

What Maxwell Anderson is try-
ing to do in Barefoot in Athens is
somewhat less than clear. His main
character is Socrates; this is not a
poor beginning, But what is his ,
purpose? If MY. Anderson intends
to dramatize tie life of Socrates,
he deviates from Plato’s account.
Granted, the facts of Socrates’ life
are not known. It is possible that
he was in part or even entirely a
borrowed name and only a device
created by Plato. Is Mr. Ander-
‘son then using the same device, is
he using Socrates as a medium of
expression?

This would seem more likely,
especially since Mr. Anderson him-
self says his play is not merely a
recounting of Socrates’ life. And
what is the author saying, through
Socrates? Let us remember two
facts: the author has seen fit to
use Socrates as his medium; it is
his search for truth that charac-
terizes Socrates. It would not
seem gratuitous, then, to assume
that Mr. Anderson has written a
play about the search for truth.
Since Athens was a democracy and
the people condemned Socrates for
his search for truth, it is not im-
possible to reach the conclusion
that Mr. Anderson wishes to dra-
matize the nobility of one man’s
search for truth, the irony of his
trial, and the ultimate tragedy of
his conviction and death.

This is perhaps the kindest in-
terpretation of the author’s intent.
It is also possible that he intend-
ed the parallel __between—Athens
and Sparta and the United States
and Russia to be his theme. He
certainly works on it. However, if
this is his purpose, he has over-
simplified the parallel into absurd-
ity by showing only its superficial
aspects. And he has entirely miss-
ed the most dramatic element:
how should a ‘democracy, suppos-
edly respecting the rights of free |
speech, deal with its most danger-
ous enemies, those within? In
fact, he avoids this question quite
obviously.

If the first alternative repre-
sents the intended purpose, and it
would seem to be this, Barefoot in
Athens is a tremendous failure.

Mr. Anderson’s Socrates is a.
buffoon, a doddering innocent in.
an ill-fitting toga who pads around |
the stage with his toes curled up.
He has not “humanized”. Socrates, .
but made him a ludicrous old man.

Exhibit Shows Hapsburg
Arms with Viennese Art
Continued from Page 3

Attacked by a Lion, from the
Foule Collection, being considered
a close rival of the Vienna master-
piece.

Fifty-two of the most magnifi-
cent tapestries are in the exhibi-
tion: the verdure tapestries of the
Emperor Charles V, the canopy
and hangings for a throne, made
in Brussels in 1566, the series of
Vertunus and Pomona and many
others lend great elegance to the
show.

The remarkable series of arms
and armor belonging to leading
members of the Hapsburg family
comes from the Ambras Collec-
tion first assembled by the Arch-
duke Ferdinand of Tyrol, another
major collector of the family
whose interest was chiefly in ar-
mor and weapons of famous war-
riars.| Philadelphia has long cher-
ished the suit of tournament ar-
mor, worn by Emperor Maxmilian
I, the last of the knights, which
stands guard on the second floor
of the Museum.

The most spectacular part of
the Vienna Treasures is the sec-
tion including works of art in
precious and semi-precious mate-
rials—the gold objects, the rock
crystals and the jewelled and en-
ameled goblets, bowls and plates.
The gold-mounted emerald un-
guent jar made from a_ stone
brought back from the Andes and
still considered the largest em-
erald in existence, the Wilten
Chalice, one of the few surviving
medieval eucharistic services, the
Burgundian court goblet are only
a few of these treasures.

The climax of this group is the
gold salt cellar made by Benvenu-
to Cellini in 1540 for Francis I,
King of France, and given by his
grandson Charles IX to the Arch-
duke Ferdinand of Tyrol. This is
the famous sculptor’s earliest sur-
viving work and the only known
piece of goldsmithing unquestion-
ably by him.

Iranian Situation Illustrates Swomley’s Beliefs

sanctity of international agree-
ments, one of which Iran has
broken by ousting the British,
Other less bruited reasons are: 1)
we want to keep Russian influence
out of Iran, and 2) we are concern-
ed lest our holdings in the Middle
East become nationalized.

Iran is an integral part of the
Middle Eastern problem which in
turn is an integral part of the
U.S.-US.S.R. power struggle. With
the foregoing as a background,
Mr. Swomley discussed three as-
pects of the power struggle and
suggested a possible solution.

First we must get rid of the
idea that America is all good, and
Russia all wrong. We have a
“modest empire of our own” and
must try to realize how it appears
to the ‘Russians.

Second, when two nations are
seeking peace, and both have been
guilty in the past (no matter how
unequal the guilt percentage ra-
tio), either both must say they
have been wrong at once (in Bib-
lical terms, repent) or one must
take the initiative. Too many
“Americans ‘believe that salvation
must come in Moscow before it
comes in Washington’’.

Lastly, Mr. Swomley pointed out
that it is political naivete to wait
for the other person to repent first.
“Obviously in this short a time we
can’t repent for the whole world”.
The Middle East is a suggested
starting point. There, imperialism.
is the greatest source of irritation.
Russia has joined forces with
China to help her get rid of west-
ern imperialism. ‘China is not
blind to Russia’s own imperialism
in doing so, but she has seized the
opportunity to at least rid herself
of one imperialistic power. Such a
dramatic move as the\United States

ings in the Middle and Far East

France aid in maintaining Indo-
China—Mr. Swomley firmly bey
lieves would cause the Chinese to
turn on Russia, the only remaining
imperialistic power. Such a move
would, of course, have to be accom-
panied by instruction in govern-
ment, industry, etc. for those peo-
ple liberated.

A further tour de force, putting
the Panama Canal under U'N con-
trol and calling upon England and
Russia to do the same with the
Suez and Dardenelles, Mr. Swom-
ley believes would cause fatal in-
stability in the Russian form of
government, due to pressure from
the common people.

“We can no longer hope to cope
with these tensions by an easy
gesture in the UN”, he concluded.
It will require a price to be paid,
a risk, a loss of security. The wars
in the past have required these,
but have not paid the dividends
which Mr. Swomley believes the
pacifist policies would.

Neapall: Anderson Creates Superficial View

Continued from Page 3
vestige of nobility of- character,
the result is that Mr. Anderson
has also left him bereft of nobility
of soul. There can be no tragedy,
for the great cause has no import-
ance, the immense irony of Soc-
rate’s trial and condemnation are
non-existent. Because the medium
becomes insignificant, through the
authors’ interpretation, the entire
theme is ravaged of its import-
ance.

There are two acts and six
scenes. For four scenes the play-
wright uses every conceivable trick
to establish Socrates as a comic
character. He is worse than comic,
he is cute. (Of Athenian democ-
racy Socrates is made to say, “It
may not be perfect, but it’s ours
and we like it’’). It is not surpris-
ing then that in the trial scene Mr.
Anderson’s sudden shift of empha-
sis cannot be taken seriously. The
climax of the play, the terrible
moment of Socrates’ breakdown
when confronted with the choice
between Athens and the search for
truth, cannot but misfire. And in
the final scene, the prison, immed-
iately. before Socrate’s death, the
author substitutes the maudlin for
the noble, the pathetic for the tra-
gic. In sum, by making the man
inconsequential, Mr. Anderson also
renders inconsequential the search
for truth.

The book is a mixture of direct
quotations from the Dialogues,
devastating cuteness, the modern
idiom and an elaborate circumven-
tion of what would be unnoticeable
anachronisms. Pausanias, ‘the
Spartan king, decides to return

home “to mend the holes in his po-:
litical socks”, yet, to make a.deci-
sion, Critias—most self-conscious-
ly—allows Socrates “the time it
takes an.eagle to cross the sky”.
And the cuteness reaches a real
low when Socrates, on trial for his
life, and, more important, his phil-
osophy, interrupts his defense to
comment that “perhaps all this
will be written down some day,
perhaps by young Plato there (he
points into the audience), who is
always writing things down.”

In the end, Mr. Anderson has
so confused the situation that one
does not give a drachma what
happens to Socrates or to his.
search for truth, which, by this
time, seems pretty childish,

The acting is competent, some-
times good. The set and costumes
are adequate, if uninspired. But
they are secondary aspects.

Maxwell Anderson has a way of
alluding to great themes and
sprinkling his casts with noble
names that may fascinate the
curious and delude the unwary.
With this play, the author’s su-
perficiality can no longer hide be-
hind his grandiose themes. In-
deed, their very greatness illum-
inates his weaknesses; he can
make almost anyone dull. Once
again he has sought to explore a
tragic theme and succeeded only

in exploiting it, From an intri-
cate and potentially magnificent
theme, Mr. Anderson has created
a superficial and confused combi-
nation of farce end pathos. This
is why Barefoot in Athens is
worse than a poor play, and why
it is so appallingly bad.

Speakers Recall Incidents of Their Acquaintance
As Bryn Mawr Athletes With Miss C. M. Applebee

Continued from Page 1

moment hockey started at Vassar,
and a little later at the other col-
leges. Genie Ford of ‘Wellesley
thanked Bryn Mawr and Miss Ap-
plebee and retold a few of Miss
Applebee’s well known sayings,
such as “She plays like a hen ona
hot griddle” and her invariable
comment to the bandana-ed play-
er, “You, with your head in the
bag”’.
The next speaker was Miss
Nancy Offutt, headmistress of
Garrison Forest School. Miss Of-
futt highly entertained her audi-
ence by telling them a story of one
of her hockey games under Miss
Applebee when the team used
somewhat unusual tactics (at one
point the entire team was stand-
ing in the goal) and afterwards in-
stead of receiving the praise they
expected they found Miss Apple-
bee lying flat on the ground on
her back, saying that she never
wanted to see any of them again.
Later in the evening, she told
them that “you must never let the
winning of the game be more im-
portant than the rules of the
game” which is applicable in every
part of life. She stressed Miss
Applebee’s positiveness, and be-
lieved her to be one of the most
colorful figures of any generation,
concluding by saying that England
had given us “our language, most
of our customs and laws, Winston
Churchill, and M. K. Applebee.

(Miss Hawkins and Mrs. Man-
ning divided two different aspects
of the Bryn Mawr life when Miss
Applebee coached here. Miss Haw-
kins presented a picture of what
being an athlete was like under
Miss Applebee, while Mrs. Man-
ning took the view of the unath-
letic student. Miss Hawkins said
that no person except M. Carey
‘Thomas had ever affected Bryn
‘Mawr so much.

Miss Applebee gave every-
sone who ever played under her a
respect for the virtues of integ-
rity, courage, justice, self-reliance,
humor and a sense of proportion.
(Miss Hawkins well remembers
Miss \Applebee’s robust, almost
Elizabethan sense of humor, com-
bined with a knowledge of how
much a person could take. Once
Miss Applebee yelled at her when
she seemed to be retrogressing in-
stead of progressing down the
field, “Hawkite, stop acting like a
crab”). One of her most import-
ant contributions to Bryn Mawr
‘was her conception of personal re-
sponsibility that she gave to each
girl. In 1906 she reorganized the
Physical Education Department
and in 1909 instituted the Health



Department. Miss Hawkins said,
“She was part of the fabric of
Bryn Mawr’.

Mrs. Manning said that as she
was probably “the least athletic
person in this gathering”, her col-
lege view of Miss Applebee -was
entirely different, because since
she was not trying out for teams,
she received nothing but kind
words and encouragement. . Miss
Appiebee was tremendously inter-
ested in the activities on campus
and part of her concrete results
were to reconcile the two non-
speaking Christian Associations
and to help start and maintain the
College News. She was the one
adult on campus to whom the girls
felt they could come for help. As
the father of a student said to
Mrs. Manning in 1920, “Miss Ap-
plebee has done ten times more
for my girl than any of those pro-
fessors you have got”,

Miss McBride then said that in
order to continue the college’s ap-
preciation of what Miss Applebee
has done, the Scull property is be-
ing given in the name of Miss Ap-
plebee and Miss Mary Warren
Taylor and she introduced as chair-
man of the Scull property commit-
tee, Mrs. Mumford, who spoke of
what is now called “Applebee Cor-
ner” as something that will per-
manently stay as “evidence of our
affection for her’. It is Mrs. Mum-
ford’s idea to build a field house
from the old barn and put in ter-
raced tennis courts. Plans are al-
ready in operation to turn the
main building into a nursery school
and a child study institute.

At the conclusion of the speech-
es Miss Applebee stood up to
thank all the people who had made
the weekend possible. She thanked
Miss McBride, Mrs. Paul and the
Aluninae Association for the hon-
or done to her and Miss Taylor,
she thanked Janie Stone for trans-
mitting the original germ of the
idea, the Physical Education De-
partment for the weekend which
she hopes will .become an annual

at Vassar and the other colleges.
She described how fitting it
was to have the Scull property
dedicated to Mary Warren Taylor
because this very strong exacting
personality had inspired and driv-
en so many people to accomplish
somuch. As she put it Miss Tay-
lor lived “blood, sweat, and tears”,
and expected everyone else to live
it too. Finally Miss Applebee ex-
pressed her great love for these
colleges who had first given her
such a welcome and her thanks to
Bryn Mawr for teaching her the
inner meaning of the American
way of life. “It is one of the great-
est pleasures of my life”, she said,
“to have been born British, but
die American”,

be as high as those of Oxford and
Cambridge, and she had the same
idea about athletics. “One year,”
said Miss Applebee, “she found
that all the English universities
were playing water polo—she in-
formed me that when I went to
England in the summer, I was to
learn the game, come back and
teach it. Well, I learned it—but
the only instructors I could find
were the English policemen! And
we played it at Bryn Mawr the
next year—indeed we did, though
some of my girls played it more
at the bottom of the poo! than
at the top.”

President Thomas commissioned

Miss Applebee to teach the under-

graduates Jiu-Jitsu, but this she
refused, on the grounds that, “The
students were dangerous enough
without learning anything new.”
It was Miss Thomas who first
made the Physical Education de-
partment of a college also re-
sponsible for health and hygiene,
for what was the use of educat-
ing women. if they weren't
strong?” The first three build-
ings she built were Merion, Tay-
lor, and the Gym.”

The College News began in
1914, because one of the under-
graduates, Isabel Foster, who
later was to write for the Chris-
tian Science Monitor wanted prac-
tical journalistic experience while
still at college. She went to Un-
dergrad, but that organization
said no, chiefly because it was un-
believable that a college news-
paper would ever be_ solvent.
Nevertheless, an enthusiastic, de-
termined group of potential Mar-
guerite Higginses fppealed to
Miss Applebee for support and
ideas. She had both to give, and
the energetic ladies elected them-
selves to the first News board,
and formed a corporation. Each
contributed ten dollars, and each
held shares according to the

amount of work she was to do.
Policy: “The News and nothing
but the news.” By the time these
plans had been formulated, it was
Commencement Week — probably
the busiest time of the year for
a college president. Could the
News Board possibly have an Ap-
pointment with Miss Thomas?
They could, of course, and did.

“Utterly impossible—why do you
want to do it”? Miss Thomas ask-
ed. And when they told her, she
thought it was a wonderful idea.
But this new venture couldn’t be
called merely, The News, for in
that case, it might be confused
with the Harvard News. The Col-
lege News then, it came to be.

Secure in the knowledge that,
“Every editor of every college
newspaper always ends up by be-
ing expelled,” (Miss Thomas’
parting words) Miss Applebee,
Isabel Foster and company began
work. Board meetings often last-
ed past the dinner hour, but Miss
Applebee served shredded wheat
and milk in her office, so that
neither meals nor meetings were
skipped. Of course, President
Thomas subscribed. “She always
sent for us,” said Miss Applebee,
“the morning that thing came
out.’”” But if the News caused con-
troversy, at least it presented
both sides, and “All the Board
were hockey players, and so very
fair-minded about things.”

To relieve any excess exuber-
ance about unprintable matter,
the Board published, strictly for
their own amusement, a private
document that contained every-
thing not for publication. It was
their own, and they called it The
College Booze.

Its more. respectable _ sister
flourished, however, and is now 2
mature thirty-seven. Long ago it
paid back dividends to its first
Board. Still, it is questionable
whether the great dividend to Miss
Applebee can ever be fully repaid.

pays for her scholarship under the
army program, while the Institute
of International Education makes
all the arrangements with col-
leges. The Japanese Education
Ministry holds a nation-wide ex-
amination for the selection of
these scholarship students.

When the Japanese stuaents ar-
rived in this country, they were
sent to various colleges for a six-
week orientation program with
students from other foreign coun-
tries. Kazuko was sent to Col-
umbia University. She is happy
she was assigned to Bryn Mawr
because, after spending. the sum-
mer in the heart of New York City,
she finds this school very attract-
ive and relaxing.

Arother reason why Kazuko is
Bryn Mawr is that she had heard
about its high standards in Japan.
Some of her professors, both Jap-
anese and American, had graduat-
ed from this college. The founder
of Tsuda College, which’ Kazuko
attended, was enrolled at Bryn
Mawr about seventy years ago.
Kazuko says that although she has
only been here for two months,
she has felt . something of the
school spirit and tradition.

more profit for Iran should have
been started by the Anglo-Iranian
company when some America com-
panies were reaching 50-50 agree-
ments; that the national govern
ment is not Communistic and the
British government should not
have toyed with the idea that they
could get away'from the growing
nationalism; and finally that Her-
bert Morrison, Britain’s foreign
affairs secretary, was not in Eng-
land at the time when, supposedly,
proposals were sent from Iran that
wouid permit British officers to

concentrated on improving their
skill. in reading, writing, and pro-
nunciation, and attended lectures
outlining American history, geog-
raphy, and social conditions.

When comparing Japan and
America, Kazuko was impressed
by the tremendous difference in
material. wealth and mechanics.
What impresses her most about
the American people, in contrast
with the Japanese, is their “frank-
ness and openness and their infor-
mality”.

Mrs. Manning pointed out that
upon removal of the British, the
canal would probably leave the
hands of the weaker Egyptians
and the Sudanese would probably
be confronted with civil war.

Mrs. Manning presented the fol-
lowing factors as the basis of the
entire problem: nationalism, its de-
mand for the expulsion of foreign-
ers and the use of its own re-
sources for the people; and pov-
erty, which reigns in both coun-

really teed off on a long tirade

when he found himself stymied on the “single puff”
and “one sniff” cigarette tests. “They’re strictly
for the birdies!” said he. He realized that

cigarette mildness requires more deliberation

than a cursory inhale or exhale. Millions of
smokers concur — there’s only one true test of
mildness and flavor in a cigarette.

It’s the sensible test . . . the 30-Day Camel
Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try
Camels as your steady smoke on a day-after-day,
pack-after-pack basis. No snap judgments! Once

for 30 days in your “T-Zone”’

(T for Throat, T for Taste), you'll see why ...
