‘Romans Battle

For ‘Gallicanus’
In Classic Play

Goodale Compositions
Add Background
Of Music

Especially contributed by
Mary Taylor, M.A.

Gallicanus, a medieval Latin
play by Hroswitha of Gander-
sheim, was performed in the cloi-
sters in honor of Miss Lily Ross
Taylor on Saturday afternoon,
May 8rd. The college chorus sang
music composed for the play by
Mr. Robert L. Goodale.

Hroswitha, a nun who lived in the
second half of the tenth century,
wrote religious dramas which were
to replace the pagan comedies.
Gallicanus exemplifies the triumph
of Christianity over paganism.

Gallicanus, portrayed by Sofia
Liljencrants, ’55, was a pagan
general serving under the Emper-
or Constantine (Haviland Nelson,
M.A.). Urged to fight against the
Scythians, Gallicanus agrees only
if he may marry the. Emperor’s
daughter, Constantia (Sarah Bol-
ster, ’53). Constantia, who has
taken vows of virginity, suggests
to Constantine that he make the
promise to Gallicanus; but his two
daughters. are to remain with her,
and her almoners, Johannes (Jo
Ann McDonald, ’53) and Paulus
(Barbara Drysdale, ’55) are to
accompany Gallicanus to war.

During the battle the Romans
are forced to retreat., But at the
moment of Gallicanug) conversion

Trilobites Arouse Panting Geologists,
Synclines, Tamaqua, Alluring As Ever

by Anne Mazick, °55

Perched on the northern extrem-
ity of an anticline, the southern
edge of a syncline, sixty-six Bryn
Mawrtyrs, with bruised legs and
dirty faces, tried to locate their
position in section I, 9, 5, 3, 1, on
the wrong topographic map, They
almost lost Dr. Watson when he
turned, facing away from the hill,
and dipped 70 degrees north, try-
ing to demonstrate the anticline
by actually being one. When the
explanation was completed, about
thirty-three pairs of feet trudged
through briars and poison ivy to
the top of the hill, where thirty-
three pairs of hands proceeded to
swing their little pick-axes, in
search of trilobite fossils. A few
happy individuals emerged victori-
ous with treasured specimens of
Phacops, and the others left de-
jected, hoping for better luck at
the next stop.

Dr. Dryden was kept quite busy
by promising young excavators
who were certain they had found
a rare form of Bdcrsplmz, but it
was usually just another coral.

Linn Sees Cimate Of Mystery
In Season Of Major Decisions

especially contribuited by
Bettina Linn

(For Sophomores only and a few
Juniors)

Now is the season of decision in
the Dean’s Office. Students are
choosing their majors, planning
the way to the last comprehensive.
But sometimes there is doubt, and
always a little mystery until the
annual Calendar appears. After ail
the requireds, after all the sam-
pling and the suffering and the
passing, comes freedom! to spe-
cialize. Now how to peep into tie
academic future before the officiai
schedule and catalogue are in the
hand? ‘Deans and major advisors,
until then, seem like Madame
Sosostris, “the wisest woman ir
Europe”, who must bring the hor-
oscope herself, because the print-
er has not sent the copies.

“TJ know what I like” .. . there
is a good way to choose a major,
but an innocent way. Da you
know what the major is for, what

. it will do for you, or to you? Could

you tell your parents so that even
they would understand? For the
hour of indecision, here are a few
helpful facts about a few Human-
ities (everyone knows what Science
is for).



1) A Major in Literature. To ex-
plain it, it is necessary first to de-
fine ‘Literature, and to define with
great tact. For we might be sorry
if we offended the leaders of the
new Criticism, or the old Human-
ism, or other authorities, who dii-
fer so much among themselves
about what Literature is, but
might agree to send their brilliant
well-read daughters to Bryn
Mawr. How to be tactful and ac-
curate? (This is a question not
confined to literary matters). The
answer calls for a fine combina-
tion of vagueness and precision,
and of inclusiveness too—if you
think of all the ages and the cui-
tures and the courses where Lit-
erature comes in. Our definition:
Literature is the best that has
been thought and said about hu-
man aspiration and desperation,
The major is concerned with the
influence of one on the other, in
selected periods or genres. The
result should be a more balanced
personality in the student, less
desperate and less aspirant (even
if more Guidance is not provided
in the College program).

2) A Language Major. Add any
language to the outline above, and
you can easily explain, in English,

What a pity! One girl was quite
ecstatic over the discovery of a
dinosaur bone, but she was soon
crushed to learn it was only from
a chicken eaten by some innocent
picnickers.

Main highways proved to be an
unsatisfactory location for lec-
tures and note-taking, because
while the good Doctors Watson
and Dryden struggled to expound
their theories, trucks of every size
and shape, and buses filled with
curious passengers roared past, in-
terrupting the trend of thought.
One elderly little lady in an elder-
ly little automobile took an inter-
est in the motley group by the
side of the road and politely asked
if they were out sketching. Dr.
Watson scrutinized the group and
queried “Where are the models?”

Soon came the familiar battle
ery, “Charge!”, and they: ran, six-
ty-six strong across the road, to
hammer diligently upon a bed of
conglomerate, until the next call,
“Let’s Inbus.”

The group investigated a slate
quarry Friday afternoon, and be-
tween glimpses of men splitting
layers of slate and chopping them
down to size, they watched a
basketfull of men, including the

Elizabeth Bishop
Emphasizes Need
Of Natural Style

“The secret of writing poetry’,
said Miss Elizabeth Bishop, “is to
write so unnaturally that it looks
natural”. Miss Bishop, who holds
the Bryn Mawr Donnelly Fellow-
ship, spoke informally in the Dean-
ery, Monday, May 5, on “Being
Natural in Poetry”.

Miss Bishop especially admires
the seventeenth century poet,
George Herbert, whom she con
siders to have a “complete naural-
ness’’ of style.

Aiter reading some of Herbert’s
poems, including his well-known
“The Caller”, Miss Bishop read
from her own poetry. These se-
Jections included “Cold Spring”,
“The Prodigal Son”, which was in-
spired by a visit to Nova Scotia,
an “Invitation to Marianne
Moore”, “Argument”, and “Insom-
nia”. In conclusion, Miss Bishop
read “Arrival at Santos”. This
was the first poem she completed
after her trip to South America
which was sponsored by the Don-
nelly Fellowship.

Nock Considers
Law of Nature
In Development

Ancient Natural Law
Adapts Itself
In Strife

“And gladly would she learn and
gladiy teach’, quoted Mr. Arthur
Darby Nock about Miss Taylor at
the luncheon in her honor which
took place in the Deanery on Sat-
urday, May 3. Mr. Nock, Froth-
ingham professor of History at
Harvard, spoke on the subject,
“Natural Law and the Romans.”

Natural law, stated Mr. Nock, is
a term used in many senses, but it
is generally defined as a “univer-
sal and absolute standard fo:
judging human experience.” In the
physical sense, natural law usual-
ly means induction, while in the
moral sense it is more ideal and
more concerned with deduction.
According to natural law, all man-
made laws need to be reviewed by
the moral sense of the community
which lives by them. This is to
avoid the use of laws which “or-
dinarily” apply, but do not always
apply. Law should be associated
with justice. The term of “justice”
is misused so much, however, that
it is often just “an excuse for un-
just thinking”. Men all too often
resent justice in judicial decisions,
especially if the decision is against
them.

Tracing the development of nat-
ural law through the Greek and
the Roman worlds, Mr. Nock as-
serted that the Greeks formed the

Brer Fox, He find New Trouble
While![Twoleas'Watch Helplessly

Faculty Column by
Rhys Carpenter

Br’er fox is in terrible trouble.
He never expected human beings
to be anything but enemies. Still,
human beings can always be out-
witted and laughed at. Steady hun-
ger was more serious. Every year
uhe new cubs came; and besides,
grown-up foxes from nowhere were
turning up in the woods, foxes
with a different smell and an air
of not belonging. It was getting
harder and harder to make a liv-
ing. ‘Lean foxes turned into man-
gy foxes, and many of these died
of mange—or of some sort of flu—
especially the red foxes—and then
suddenly came the Trouble.

It wasn’t just that you felt rest-
less and worried and uncertain, or
that you were no longer hungry
and yet couldn’t stay home or
sleep. Things began to look fuzzy
till you couldn’t be sure whether
they weren’t coming at you. The
worst was the strangling feeling
in your throat. You ran to get
away from it; but it only got
worse. ‘And this was sure: once
you had it, that was going to be
the end. Within a week or two
the strangle in your throat would



wear you out and either you chok-



ed to death or you died of exhaus-
tion and heart-strain.

As if that wasn’t enough! Even
if you hadn’t caught the strangles,
men had suddenly become com-
pletely impossible. First they or-
ganized mobs with guns and tried
to shoot you... which was a nui-
sance because you had to steal
around them or sneak througn
them. Then they started putting
traps all over your favorite wood-
ways and swampruns. Of course
some of the youngsters fell for
them; but most of us just looked
the traps over, sprinkled them for
warning, and went about our reg-
ular affairs. So then they put poi-
soned crows on our back porches
and front paths. \

Someone is reported to have
said that nobody but a. dumb fox
would touch a dead crow: What
made them think a fox would,_
either? especially when it smelt
of human hands and stank of
strychnine! So then they really got
crazy wild and put bits of pork
fat, or tallow, or some sort
of fishy stuff, all over the
countryside—even under their own
hedges and near their own houses.
Anyone who ate one of these tid-
bits pretty soon fell over and kick-

Goodbye, Miss Taylor

Lily Ross Taylor is retiring from the faculty of Bryn
Mawr at the end of this year. Professor of Latin here since
1927 and Dean of the Graduate School of the College since
1942, Miss Taylor is a distinguished scholar and an authority
on Roman civilization and literature, well-known both
through her work in this country and abroad and her publi-
cations, the most recent of which is Party Politics in the Age
of Caesar.

Born in Alabama, Miss Taylor received her A. B. from
the University of Wisconsin in 1906 and, after further study,
including some abroad at the American Academy in Rome,
received her Ph. D. from Bryn Mawr in 1912. Since then her
work in Classical Studies has brought honors and many new
opportunities for service. During World War II Miss Taylor
held the position of principal social science analyst for the
Office of Strategic Services. She accepted the post of Sather
Professor of Classical Literature at the University of Cali-
fornia for one semester in 1947, and two years ago received
the honorary degree of Doctor of Literature from the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin.

Because Bryn Mawr offers its undergraduates the privi-
lege of studying under the same professors, such as Miss
Taylor, who teach the graduate school, there is a unique op-
portunity for more intensive and more inspiring work. More-
over, our graduate school is in itself outstanding, for Bryn
Mawr is the only woman’s college granting the degree of
Ph. D. in all its major departments.

Miss Taylor’s retirement from Bryn Mawr this year will
mark a climax rather than the close of her career, for she
has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and next year will act
as Professor in charge of Classical Studies at the American
Academy in Rome. We say goodbye to Lily Ross Taylor with
regret for the future Bryn Mawr students who will not under
her surveillance learn to understand ancient peoples and ap-
preciate an ancient literature. We know that for her “the

- Jamp of true learning” will shine undimmed through the com-

ing years.

Problems?

The results of the counseling questionnaires seem to in-
dicate a trend of independence, a desire on the part of the
students to work out their own problems. :

Bard's Eye View

by Ann Shocket, °54

First day as a freshman she
entered her room,
So empty, so dreary, such horror,
such gloom!
A cot, a chair,
An empty wall,
A desk, a dresser—
That was all!

Looked in on a senior and gasped
with surprise—
Such splendors as met her incredu-
lous eyes!
Hoops and pandas,
Candles half burned,
Bottles and posters—
How she yearned!

Then May Day: the senior like
Santa appears,

four years.
A cot, a chair,
An empty wall,
A desk, a dresser—
That is all!

‘The freshman sits smiling with all

of the treasure,
She wallows in wealth with the
greatest of pleasure!

Candles half burned,
Bottles and posters—
The tables have turned!

ately for a group of coal miners

vehemently turned a corner, the

ForeignPopulation
In Colleges Grows

There. is a record-breaking for-
eign student population in U. S
colleges and universities, accord-
ing to a report issued by the In-
stitute of International Education,
1 East 67th Street, New York.

The currrent “census” conducted
jointly by the Instiute and the
Committee on Friendly Relations
Among Foreign Students, shows
that well over 30,000 students
from other lands are being trained
this year in the United States.

Top countries, with the largest
number of their young citizens
studying here, are Canada, China,
and Germany. The biggest jump
in numbers over past years, how-
ever, is in the rapid increase in
students coming from Asia, the
Near East and Africa.

The Institute estimates that
these students (one-third of them
women) represent a financial in-
vestment of $75,000,000, working
om the basis that total cost of
travel, tuition, room and board
for the average student is $2,500.
Almost half of them are “scholar-
ship students”, receiving their
training on funds provided by
their governments, our govern-
ment, private agencies, or by the
colleges and universities them-



selves.



Carpenter, Mr?

service because of its liberal tendencies, at least half of those
who took part in the survey found the present system ade-
quate. Some of them felt, however, that available service,
especially the psychiatric and vocational fields, should have
wider publicity.

Of those who thought the present system inadequate,
about one-third blamed themselves, saying that they were
unwilling to ask for or take advice. Many, again, felt that
their problems would seem trivial to an impersonal advisor.
Most of the questionnaires suggested that the student would
prefer to solve her own problems after discussing them with
her family and friends.

The non-imposing counseling service which is now in ex-
istence is a part of Bryn Mawr’s liberal tradition. The col-
lege treats the student as a mature person who becomes
more mature through solving personal problems by trial and
error.

The existing system is satisfactory. It does not force
itself on the independent individual; it is waiting for those
who feel its need. The counseling service available should be
publicized more widely, however, so that students with crit-
ical problems who require professional advice, or just plain
sympathy from an older person whom they respect, will be-





come aware of the avenues of counseling available to them.



Current Events

Contest With Russia
Raises Problem

‘Of Policy

“It seems clear, from the pro-
fessional standpoint, that tie
U.S.S.R. is pretty stable”, stated
Mr. Holland Hunter, in his talk at
the Current Events meeting of
May 5. He based this comment on
the outcome of the Tri-College
Conference on “Our Contest with
Russia”, Mr. Hunter claimed that

there was no foreseeable danger
of overthrow of the Bolshevik Gov-
ernment in the U.S.S.R., and that
despite resentment and friction, it
is felt that only the Communist
party could control there. There
is general stability in political, ec-
onomic, and military respects.

The United States also seems
stable and unlikely to be over-
thrown. “It is reasonably accur-
ate”, said Mr. Hunter, “to state
that most of the membership in
the Communist party in this coun-
try is composed of misfits’. In the
satellites, however, there is consid-
erably more discontent, partly
caused by the structure of the pop-
ulation. If we were to exert a mil-
itary spirit there, it would precip-
itate World War III. In order to
avoid this, it is necessary to help
them.

On Our Side

“Western Europe is still—quote
—on our side—unquote,” Mr. Hun-
ter remarked, “but we cannot pre-
dict that it will remain so”. Peo-
ple are still talking about post-war
settlements and are discussing the
notions of “ebb and flow” and
“strategy of tactics”.

. Cenecerning the time dimension
of the contest, it will probably be
longer than we would like it—in
fact, almost endless. Questions
raised as to the nature of this con-
test have asked whether this is a
contest in war or in peace and
whether we can counter the ad-
vance of Communist expansionism
through words or military force.
Apparently it is both.

Spiritual Contest?

‘Another question often raised
concerns whether this is a spirit-
ual contest. There is the notion
that hunger, poverty, caste, social
injustice, and various other pres-
sures make people turn to Com-
munism. These pressures, how-
ever, are almost passive as the
people have been subjected to them
for a long time. Charles Malik has
stated that Communism, in that
respect, is now a religion, that the
feeling against these pressures is
almost a creed.

It seems that there is no defin-
ite United States policy in regard
to the east-west contest. On the
military side, Mr. Hunter said, “it’s
like a spectrum, with disarmed
peace at one end and World War
III at the other end”. Since neither
end is good, we are left in the mid-
dle with no definite, clear-cut,
“consistent” military policy. This
position in the middle carries with
it several domestic problems. One
is McCarthyism, a kind of sickness
and fear of such an indefinite posi-
tion. Another is that if we try io
devote a larger fraction of output
to rearmament than our income,
the result is inflation. If this pro-
ceeds, it tends to choke out many
desirable classes of society. “In
fact”, added Mr. Hunter, “it tends
to rub out places like Haverford
and Bryn Mawr”.

Our policy should be to maintain
prosperity and keep the military
forces in bounds in Europe and to
grab control and help industriali-
zation our way in Asia. Stated
Mr. Hunter: “We must exert an
alert, imaginative, and yet passive



position”. .

Rain Leaves Spirits Undampened
As “Big Seven” Air Student Govs

especially contributed by

Louise Kimball, ’53;
Marilyn Reigle, °53

It was raining when the four of
us (Claire, Marilyn, Alice and
Louise) departed for Smith on
Friday, and still raining when we
returned to Bryn Mawr on Sun-
day. However, a warm welcome
from Smith and long hours of in-
teresting discussions with the
other Seven college “Student Gov-
ernment” representatives made
the week-end a success. With the
first -evening’s topic “Student
Apathy” in mind, Miss Virginia
Wing, Assistant Director of Ad-
missions at Smith, in an _ in-
formal keynote talk, suggested
that when considering extra-cur-
ricular participation we keep in
mind the factor of academic pres-
sure and over-crowded prepara-
tory school agendas.

In the evening discussion it was
felt that students in general par-
ticipated in activities of immedi-
ate practical value and interest to
them, whereas on the whole there
is a lack of feeling of responsi-
bility or interest in student gov-
ernment issues. Delegates from
Bennington, the guest college, ex-
plained their system of commun-
ity government in which staff and
administration, as well as faculty
and their wives, vote. In general
there seemed to be two trends
concerning mass meetings — those
which require attendance and
those to which the “enlightened
minority” come. From the dis-
cussion on Curriculum Committees
the idea of objective evaluation
sheets on courses seemed interest-
ing.

Extra-Curricular

Saturday morning’s discussion
centered about extra-curricular
activities. Each student pays a
_ “blanket tax” at Smith, making
participation free of dues. The
clubs at Holyoke, on the contrary,
are completely independent. Bar-
nard has an “Activities Carnival”
to introduce Freshman to clubs,
whereas at Smith, club member-
ship is not possible until second
semester. Freshman Weeks, stu-
dent advisors, as well as social ac-
tivities were brought up. Welles-
ley mentioned their “Quad Mixers”
—invitation parties, where there
are several open houses going on
at once, a successful way of meet-
ing other students and their dates.

Claire led the afternoon discus-
sion on student government, and
again we wandered far from the
topic. It was stressed that since
both student government and the
administration are working for the
same goals we should préfit from
the faculties’ experience and per-
spective. Wellesley, for example,
has a college ‘government. At
Vassar the faculty sit on the
Senate.

NSA

Other colleges have recently
been discussing, as we have, the
advisibility of remaining a mem-
ber of NSA when there is so little
interest on campuses and so little
to be concretely gained ourselves
from the association. It was felt
that universities without the
rights and privileges that we have
need NSA, and we can contribute
our ideas and support to them. In
Europe NSA has a political aspect
since students can vote, whereas
in this country our student years
are not so emphasized and are
more a regular part of our lives.
But NSA does take a stand on na-
tional issues, as well as establish-
ing friendly relations with stu-
dents of other countries.

The afternoon session closed
with discussion of elections, a few



words about parents’ days and the
problem of “noisy men” (sound fa-
miliar?) on «campus after mid-
night, Since Smith’s Sophomore
carnival was rained out too, we
took a quick look at their art mu-
seum, saw where Marilyn had tak-
en her Russian oral in the Board
of Trustees office, then caught the
next train “South”, full of new
and interesting ideas.

Clear the Shelves!
Send Dacea Books

by Barbara Fischer, °55

To wake up one morning and
discover that the M. Carey
Thomas Library had disappeared
would be an interesting experi-
ence. For us, who manage to take
the reserve room, squeaky desks,
and stacks for granted, it is easy
to regard the library as a drudg-
ery. It is almost inconceivable to
imagine a college without a large
library, equally inconceivable to
be able to learn properly without
its facilities.

The University of Dacca, situ-
ated in the capital of East Bengal,
Pakistan, is facing such a situa-
tion. It is in the position of sup-
plying the government with the
calibre of men it needs, and over-
coming a legacy of backwardness
in Pakistani education.

Living Quarters

Facilities are limited, however;
and this includes the problem of
housing, Students live in poorly-
equipped hostels, and find them-
selves without an alternative, for
example, to putting their mechan-
ical drawing problems on. their
beds for solution. Bryn Mawr has
contributed approximately $1500,
voted by the Legislature, to allevi-
ate this situation.

Part of this money is being
used to establish a student center,
which will include a library. The
WSSF committee, consisting of
Pakistani students, has asked us
to contribute a small number of
books about the United States
with which to start this project.
The drive is being sponsored by
the Alliance. The students are
primarily interested in recent,
timely books, and especially truth
(and not propaganda) about this
country.

Any book, however, that you
can spare can be used. Good luck
with exams, everybody—remember
how handy that volume was and
let a fellow-student on the other
side of the world appreciate it too.

Coins, Manuscripts
Grace New Exhibit

Coins of the Roman Republic,
from the time of Caesar, Sulla,
and. Pompey; fine old manuscripts
written in Italy with a steady,
delicate hand; pages of 15th cen-
tury printing from Italy and
France, bound in smooth brown
leather: these are all part of the
exhibits in honor of Miss Taylor,
now on display in the Library. The
works of several early printers in-
clude many editions of Caesar as
well as Aldus Manutius’ invention
that he took from the slanting
hand of Petrarch, the introduction
of script into printing. Particu-
larly fitting to be on display at
this time are the coins, for much
of Miss Taylor’s recent research
has been spent on the families and
institutions of the Roman Repub-
lic. One coin, inscribed with a
helmet on a draped seat, is a
denarius of Domitian and was
brought by Miss Taylor from
Naples to the owner of the collec-
tion, Aline Boyce.

SPORTS

by Mary Jane Chubbuck, 55

Wednesday, April 30, at 4:15,
Beaver college played Bryn Mawr
in a lacrosse game which was a
pleasure to watch. Beaver, the
victor, had good passing, fast
team work, and excellent stick
work. The score, 9-6, is indica-
tive of aggressive offense on both
teams. The defense of the two
team’s, especially Beaver’s, was
very effective. All in all, Bryn
Mawr made a_ good _ showing
against a skillful and experienced
team. The line-up was as follows:
1st H. B. McClenahan (Capt.)
2nd H. A. Wagoner

Br’er Fox Can Never Trust Implacable Humans,
Must Suffer Many Years With Strange Trouble

ed and threshed and was dead,
Some of our vixen, being ravenous

because they were in whelp, could
not resist the extra snack of food;
and some others among the young-
sters weren’t as wise as the rest
of us grownups. But-for the most
part it was the dumb farmdogs
and unsuspicious eateverything:,
like opossum and skunks and rac-
eoons, that were killed. Now they
have stopped putting down poison,
and we’re wondering what those
evil Twolegs are going to think up
next against us. Anyhow, we fox-
es can come through alive, because
we are smarter than the Twolegs
are. But we're not smart enough
to beat the Trouble; and we’re still



strangling and running, and dare-
say we'll still be doing some pro-
miscuous biting.

Poor Br’er Fox! We humans can
save the dogs and prevent them
from bringing the Trouble into our
midst (wherever, at least, we are
not too opinionated or stupid or
shiftless or otherwise fail to have
every dog immunized with Lederle
Avianized rabies serum. If we slip
up on that, there will really be
risk of something far worse than a
few rabid foxes running at large!)
But we cannot immunize the foxes
because—quite justly—they wili
not accept us for anything but im-
placable enemies. So the Trouble
is still among them, and will be
for years to come. Poor Br’er Fox!

LETTERS

Yirka Hrazdilova Sets
Truman Analogy
Straight

To the Editor:

I am very sorry to have con-
fused the writer of my interview
in last week’s “News” by quoting
Miss Truman.

My actual intention was to ex-
plain why people came at all to
hear my lectures which I gave in
the Middle West. Their motives
were summed up by a lady who
announced the next week’s pro-
gram of her club by saying: “A
young thing—sixteen years old!—
from Czechoslovakia is going to
tell us all about her country. Isn’t
that sweet?” In capitalizing on
my age and on being a foreign
student, I felt like Margaret Tru-
man who once said she was aware
that people came to her concerts
because of her father’s name. Here
I meant to end the analogy (that
is, I hoped it could be ended here).
I added later the rest of Miss Tru-
man’s statement slightly para-
phrased, “But I hope that people
listened to me later because I was
myself, and I think maybe they
did”, as a conversation piece.

I again apologize for not hav-
ing made my meaning clear.

Very sincerely,
Yirka Hrazdilova, ’53



Faculty’s Suggestions
Urged by Play
Committee

To the Editor:

The Bryn Mawr College Thea-
ter is now making plans for its
fall production. Since our plays
are of interest to the faculty as
well as the students, we feel the
faculty should have an opportun-
ity to indicate their—_preferences
and to express their opinions. We
would greatly appreciate any sug-
gestions concerning possible plays
for next fall. These can be sent



to Ann Blaisdell, Denbigh, through
campus mail, or written on the list
posted on the Theatre Arts bul-
letin board in Taylor. Any sug-
gestions will be seriously consider-
ed, and we hope the faculty will
use this opportunity to partici-
pate in campus life,
Thank you very much,

Lack of Contributions
Delays Arts Night
Until Fall

To the Editor:

The Arts Night Committee
(1951-52) announces with regret
that the performance of Arts
Night scheduled for May will be
postponed until the late fall of
1952. The Committee did not feel
that sufficient dramatic material
was submitted to insure a well-
rounded program, which would
match the calibre of previous per-
formances.

The Committee wishes to ex-
press its sincere gratitude to Mrs.
Paul, Miss McBride, Mr. Goodale,
the Freshman Octet, and all other
students who have given so much
time towards this production.

Most of the material submitted
will be used next year, and the
Committee hopes that many more
contributions will be forthcoming
in order to preserve the tradition
of Arts Night as an outlet for
creative talent on campus.

Sincerely yours,
The Arts Night Committee



Teen Club Tours

Pems at Carnival

A carnival in the rain can be
fun, too, the Silver Links Y Teen
Club decided when they were dis-
cussing whether or not they should
postpone their anticipated visit to
Bryn Mawr’s Sophomore Carnival.
The newly-created Y Teen Depart-
ment of the League had invited
the group to be its guests, and
was on hand to greet the 11 Negro
youngsters, students at Philadel-
phia’s Barrett Junior High School,
when they arrived on campus in
cars procured by the League.

In spite of the rain they were
laden with picnic lunches and lots
of enthusiasm, Some of the girls
were so excited about the trip that
they had gone to the city’s South-
west YWCA, where they were to
be called for, an hour earlier than
the appointed time.

League Lunches

Lunches, with milk provided by
the League, were eaten in the
rumpus room, after which some of
the girls played ping pong and
sang around the piano, while
others toured the library. They
enjoyed the parade from under
their umbrellas, and, for the most
part, thought that Denbigh’s float
was the best. (They, of course,
didn’t understand the significance
of prize-winning Rockefeller’s.)

Entertainment at the carnival
was paid for by the League, and
each girl took advantage of the
fortune-telling and refreshment
booths, especially. That they en-
joyed themselves and appreciated
the efforts of the League is
brought out in the following letter
which the League received a few
days ago:

1605 Catherine St.

Philly, Pa.
April 30, 1952.

Dear League members,

This is a letter to express our
thanks for having such a wonder-
ful time Saturday, April 26, 1952.

The girls enjoyed it so much
they are still talking about it.

Even though it rained and we
couldn’t be outside, you made it
seem as if we had all the room in
the world.

Thanking you again.

Sincerely yours,
Silver Links Y Teen Club.



Michels & Marti Say
““Gratias Tibi”
For Help

To the Editor:

On behalf of the Department of
Latin we would like to extend
thanks to all the students who
helped to make the celebration in
honor of Miss Taylor a success:
the cast and stage crew of the
play, who put on a finished produc-
tion at the busiest time of the col-
lege year; the members of the cast
who volunteered invaluable help
on costumes, and cleaned up the
costume rooms afterwards; Sally
Shoemaker, who did the make-up
at such short notice that her name
was not included on the program;
Liz Denegar, who dyed many of
the costumes; all the students who
helped look after the guests of the
college; and last but not least, the
valiant waitresses at the deanery,
who fed more than two hundred
people a really hot lunch in exact-
ly an hour and a quarter!

to Christianity, the Scythians are
defeated. :

Gallicanus returns in triumph
and relates to Constantine the
story of the battle and of his con-
version. When he is told of Con-
stantia’s vows, he does not inter-
fere but divides his property and
intends to become a monk,

The second part of the play
takes place in the reign of the
Emperor Julian (Marie Spence,
B.A.) who has no sympathy for
the Christians. Gallicanus flees to
Alexandria and is martyred there.
Johannes and Paulus, however, are
condemned to death after they re-
fuse to pay homage to an image
of Jupiter. As they die, Julian is
struck down.

Terentianus (Joan McBride, ’52),
when he hears that his son has
been smitten, confesses his guilt to
the Bishop who promises forgive-
ness if he will become a Christian.
Terentianus accepts, is baptised,
and praises God.

Directors of the play were Miss
Berthe Marti and Mrs. Agnes
Michels. Claireve Grandjouan,
A.B, was in charge of costumes;
Sally Shoemaker, ’58, make up;
Anne Laidlaw, ’52, staging; and
Joyce Greer, ’53, the fencing in
the battle scene. Other members
of the cast were Katherine Gef-
feken, A.B., Nancy Degenharit,

Natural Law of Greece

ideal of natural law, while the Ro-
mans applied it practically to their
daily lives. Homer, in the Cyclops
incident of The Odyssey, showed a
concern for people who live by a
universal moral standard. At tae
end of the fifth century, B. C.,
Heraclitus said that all humana
laws should be subordinate to one
divine law. The sophists, as char-
acterized in Aristophanes’ “The
Clouds”, taught “just reason” tu
their pupils. ‘They considered a
pupli to we successful if, after his
Instrucuon im rnetoric and wide-
spread generai intormation, he be-
came a “just person and as much
of an exvrovert as possible”. Ai-
though their detinition of justice
was not very similar to the concepi
vi natural law, the sophists’ eager-
ness to learn and teach about new
fields (including the field of law)
influenced the later Greeks. Hero-
dotus shows, by comparing them,
that no one man-made law is bet-
ver than another.

This birth ot individualism,
aroused by the interest in naturul
law, made the Greek become less
a citizen and more an “homo sa-
piens”, continued Mr. Nock. Ath-
ens at this time was in an age of
pressure and tension, as today. As
Shown by the Persian (Wars ana
the sophistic influences, the Atn-
enian empire was more interesieu
in self-enrichment than in morais.
Socrates entered this world aim
urged men to live by the natura.
saw of virtue. In the Hellenistic
age, this idea of divine rule be-
came more prevaient, on a: theoret-
ical level. ‘the philosophers, who
were considereu “ine leaven of so-
eiety”, insisted tnat man must live
conformatively with nature.

It was not, however, until the
Roman age that men were inter-
ested in practicing the law of na-
ture. The Romans had a “stoic
interest” in moral problems as
they affected the individual man, A
law of “correct reasoning” was es-
tablished and practiced in Rome.
Cicero said that all men at all
times should abide by one law un-=
der God. The application of this
law in Rome was done gradualiy
and with the use of equity. In this
way there were no sudden changes
and the changes made were more
effective.

Natural law, concluded Mr.
Nock, ag created by the Greeks
and applied by the Romans, has
grown and developed through the
ages, and has given faith to many
in times of conflict.

Box W-242
Bucknell University
Lewisburg, Pa.
April 28, 1952

To the Editor:

On campus, world peace and
Europe may seem far off, but per-
haps there are some students who
would like to see for themselves
how they may have an intimate

knowledge about both right in

their own homes this summer.

The U. S. State Department is
sending many European students
to this country and has asked The
Experiment in International Liv
ing to place these students in
American homes for a month piro2
to their college year.

One of these groups of ten stu-
dents will live in homes in the
eastern Delaware County area for
the month of August; and as
Community Representative’ of the
Experiment I am interested in
contacting those students on your
campus who ‘would like to “go
abroad” in their own homes.

‘Last year we were hosts to five
Austrian boys and five girls from
that country. All of the host fam-



ilies thoroughly enjoyed this ex-
perience, and, incidentally, three
of the student hosts are planning
to visit Austrian families of these
students this summer,

Of course, host families receive
no financial remuneration, but the
experience of learning about an-
other country through these stu-
dents, and also, of seeing our own
country through their eyes more
than repays host families. ©

If there are any students at
Bryn Mawr College who will be
at home this summer and are in-
terested in The Experiment in In-
ternational Living, they may con-
tact me at Bucknell University or
at home.

I would certainly appreciate it
if you could publish this letter or

an article about the Hospitality
Program of The Experiment. In-
cidentally, more than 400 Ameri-
cans each summer have an oppor-
tunity of living in European fam-
ilies under the same set-up.

Thank you for your cooperation
in this endeavor.
