Mr. Commager
To Speak Mon.
On Our History

Noted Historian Talks
At Third Alliance
Assembly

“The Use and Afuse of History”
will be the topic of Mr. Henry
Steele Commager at the Third Al-
liance Assembly tomorrow at 12:30
in Goodhart Auditorium.

Mr. Commager, who held the
Harold Vyvyan Harmsworth chair
as Professor of American History
at Oxford last year, has been Pro-
fessor of History at Columbia Uni-
versity since 1938. Prior to that
time Mr. Commager was a scholar
of the American Scandinavian
Foundation and taught history at
NYU. He has also been the Pitt

Cambridge University, an Honor-
able Fellow at Peterhouse, a lec-
turer at Salzburg Seminar, and
the Grotesman Lecturer at Upsala
University.

Mr. Commager is Editor-in-
Chief of “The Rise of the Amer-
ican Nation,’ and a member of
the Consultant Office of War In-
formation in Britain and_ the
United States, U. S. Army War
History Commission, and Histori-
ans’ Commission of Air Power. He
was a consultant to the United
States army attached to SHAEF
in 1945, and received a special ci-
tation from the U. S. army.

Mr. Wolf Discusses
Book Connoisseur

A man who was “able to fool
most of the people most of the
time” was the topic at the meet-
ing of the Friends of the Bryn
Mawr College Library on Thurs-
day, November 12, at 8:30. Mr.
Edwin. Wolf II spoke about Dr.
A. S. W. Rosenbach, “who sold
more books and more valuable
books than any dealer in history.”

“Dr. Rosenbach had a flair for
books, people, and publicity,” said
Mr. Wolf. “A miraculous change
occurred to any book found in his
hands. It became the finest that
ever existed with the result that
Rosenbach asked for and obtained
higher prices.”

In Tribute —

e “To take to give is all’, Dylan Thomas has written

of the poet’s mission.

Judged by this standard Thomas

himself stands very high, for he not only gave of himself
wholly and completely in some of the most magnificent
poetry of our time, but came to us as a kind of ambassa-
dor for all poetry. It was a task in which he did not spare

himself.

On November 9, 1953, he died. He left us a play, sev-
eral short stories, and a group of ninety poems.

‘Those of us who feel that it a privilege to have lived
at the same time with a great poet feel also that it is a
privilege to be able now to make some small return to the

man who gave of himself so unsparingly.
There is a Committee composed of faculty and stu-
dents which is working for the Bryn Mawr Dylan Thomas

Fund.

(This fund to aid his destitute family will be con-

tributed to a National Committee, composed of many of

the foremost poets of our time).

Any amount that you

wish to contribute will be appreciated; the price of his
Collected Poems, $3.75, has been suggested as a standard.

New Gallic Writing
Mirrors Transition

especially contributed by
Lois Bonsal, 54

Last Tuesday evening in Good-
hart Auditorium, Professor Henri
Peyre of Yale University spoke on
the Literary Situation in France
Today. He opened his address by
saying that although France rec-
ognizes she is no longer a first
class.military power, there is the
possibility that she will become a
great intellectual and moral! force;
there is also the desire to form a
new fraternity with the United
States and with other nations.

M. Peyre remarked that the
people of France are showing an
increasing interest in literature
and the arts. Festivals, gastro-
nomic and literary, are held in
many towns and draw large
crowds of spectators as well as
some of the finest actors and di-
rectors in France.

Paris is no longer the literary
center of France, and more and
more writers prefer to live in the
country or abroad. Folk-lore’ plays
an increasingly large role in new
works, and there is a deepening
desire to exchange ideas with for-
eign countries, particularly with
Itafy and Germany.

M. Peyre feels that of the fields
of poetry, drama, and the novel,
the latter is the most flourishing.
Poetry, although extremely vigor-
ous during and directly after the
war as a means of expressing
deep suffering, seems now to be in

Haverford, Bryn Mawr Cast Reads
Anne of the Thousand Days Sunday

by B. A. Palmer, °57

“Anne of the Thousand Days”
marked a new venture for the
members of Radio Station WBMC
—the first public reading of a dra-
matic play. Elsie Kemp and
William Packard were the stars of
the play as Anre Boleyn and King
Henry VIII. The history behind
the play is generally known—the
love of Henry VIII for Anne
Boleyn; his estrangement from the
Catholic Church to effect his di-
vorce from his first wife, his

eventual marriage to Anne, and



his beheading of the woman for

whom he had committed so much
evil because she had not borne him
a son.

The arrangement of the play
was unique. A complete blackout,
in which the silence of the hall
was broken only by the playing of
mood music, began and ended the

show. No props, no elaborate cos- |

tuming and no scenery were need-
ed; the occasional reading directly
from the script did not detract
from the general effect.

William Packard achieved his
greatest scene as he addressed the
audience, “you out there in the

Ss peaker Discusses

Middle East Crisis

Mr. Yaacov Shimoni, counselor
to the Israeli embassy, spoke
Thursday, November 12, on “Cross-
Currents in the Middle East” as
the guest of the I.R.C. His speech
was concerned with the state of
crisis in the Middle East.

The basic crisis in the Middle
East is the transition of society
from a medieval, semi-feudal state
to a 20th century government.
While this transition took from
400 to 500 years in Europe, it is
being compressed in the Middle
East into a few decades by strong
foreign influences. The old pat-
terns of Middle Eastern society
have broken up and new ones have
yet to be found.

The problem common to most of
the countries is the over-emphasis
on political affairs at the expense
of cultural, economic and _ social

Mr. Pritchett Gives

Sheble Lecture

Novel Undergoing Change, Not Dying

Mr. V. S. Pritchett, Literary Ed-
itor of the British NEW STATES-
MAN AND NATION, spoke Tues-
day evening, November 17th, to a
large audience in Goodhart. His
topic was “Is The Novel Dying?”

The novel is not dying, in the
obvious sense, but it is changing,
changing in viewpoint and form
because its audience has done the
same. Mr. Brown, who since the
Renaissance has been simply a
particular Mr. Brown is now Mr.
Brown the wage-earner, Mr. Brown
the manager, or Mr. Brown the
neurotic. The reader of the novel
may be, in the foreseeable future,

no longer that conception of the
| Renaissance, the individual, but a
representative of the Mass Man.

The novelist will no longer write
the traditional novel in which the
emphasis is placed upon an unique
individual. The artist may instead
turn to the form of the Greek
drama, of the five-act tragedy, in
which the protagonist is mankind
rather than a man of distinctive
sensibilities and desires.

Some_—modern writers illustrate
the beginning of this trend to-
wards the drama written from the
official and universal attitude.

Henry Green’s latest novels are
almost theatrical comedies. They
employ old dramatic devices, are
composed largely of dialogue and
in general rely on purely theatri-
cal technique. Ivy Compton-Bur-
nett’s work is similar to his in
method. The characters in Phillip
Toynbee’s THE GARDEN BY
THE SEA has no individuality but
are merely different aspects of a
single man.

Mr. Pritchett’s predictions were
depressing to those who wistfully
prefer the novel as it has been,

Bowles Speaks!
Here Dec. 7, 8,
Qn Asia Today

The initial lectures in the series
of The Anna Howard Shaw Me-
morial Lectures for 1953-1954 en-
titled ASIA — THE UNCOMMIT-
TED WORLD will be given on
Monday and Tuesday evenings,
December 7th and 8th. Mr. Chester
Bowles, former United States Am-
bassador to India and Nepal, will
present the entire series in con-
trast to the six speakers who dis-
cussed “Conflict and Change in
Asia” in 1950-1951, the last time
the series was given.

Mr. Bowles whose long record of
public service suits him to fill this
lectureship that is to be. held by
“persons eminent in politics, social
science or other fields” served as
governor of Connecticut for two
years, acted as the American dele-
gate to the UNESCO organization
conference in Paris in 1946, and in
1952. became the first U. S. Am-
bassador to Nepal.

First Big Weekend
To Gleam ‘In Pink’

At the big College weekend of
December 4-6, Pembroke East and
West are offering an open house
Friday night, and Applebee Barn
will remain open until 2:00 Friday
and Saturday.

Following the performance of
Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes
will be the undergrad formal, in
the gym from 10 to 2. The theme
is “In the Pink”; Howard Cook’s
Orchestra and the Haverford Oc-
tet will perform. Denbigh Open
House follows until 3:15.



by Peggy Auch, ’54

Scheduled for the weekend of
December 4 and 5 is the College
Theatre production of Lillian Hell-
man’s The Little Foxes—the play
hailed at its 1989 Broadway open-
ing as “the season’s most tense
and biting drama” (Time). Direct-
ed by Katherine Minehart, of the
Germantown Theatre Guild, and
acted by Bryn Mawr and _Haver-
ford, The Litle Foxes is bound to
be well worth seeing. p

The South at the turn of the cen-
tury is the setting in which the
pitiless, calculating, and clever
members of the Hubbard family
grapple with each other in a ruth-
less struggle for wealth and pow-
er. The conflict centers around Re-
gina—a sinister woman, ambitious,
masterful, and seductive—who will
be portrayed by Claire Weigand.

College Theatre Play “Little Foxes”
To Run During Undergrad Weekend

Ben, Regina’s sardonic and shrewd
brother, will be played by Nick
Mabry; and completing the Hub-
bard trio will be Bob Glatzer as
Oscar, groveling in petty mean-
ness, greed, and the tyrannical per-
secution of his pathetically gentle
and foolish aristocratic wife, Bir-
die (Connie Hicks).

As its underlying theme, The
Little Foxes: criticizes the rise of
the industrial South in all its ruth-
lessness and savagery at the ex-
pense of the old romantic Dixie,
the exploitation of the old aristoc-
racy by the c:ooked entrepreneurs
of post Civil War day, “the little
foxes that spoil the vines”. But
the primary interest of the play
lies in its brilliant characteriza-
tion and the marvelous opportuni-
ties for deep and penetrating act-
ing offered by the violent clash of
wills and passions.

Your Opinion

Careful planning goes into an Undergrad Weekend, the
presentation of an Alliance speaker, or a Sunday night Chap-
el service. Unfortunately, most of us consider our role in the
Big Five ends when we have chosen our representatives. We
do attend these events; we do have criticisms pro and con.

_ The fault lies with the fact that we are apt to do nothing

constructive with our criticisms.

Our organizations want the assurance that what they
are doing has the backing of the college community. If it
does not, they want to alter their programs to meet our
needs. How can we direct our criticism into channels where

"it will have some effect? The Big Five and Chapel Commit-
.. tea.stress the fact that Board members and hall representa-
“tives are chosen for just this purpose. We are liable to elect

them, and promptly sit back, frequently forgetting their

. function, and, indeed, that they do exist. The College News

is a second method of expressing opinion; all signed letters
to the editor are printed.

When you feel a League-sponsored movie or an A. A.
Play Day is a failure, don’t merely sit in the smoker and
stew about it. If an Undergrad Dance isn’t what you think

‘better planning could have made it, don’t wait for someone
else to offer suggestions to the Board. You feel the Self-gov.
.. system needs improvements? So does the Revisions Commit-

tee; it’s up to you to make sure it knows what the students
themselves would change.

. To make your ideas a reality in the college community,
let your hall representatives know them, or write to the

CollegegNews; don’t just gripe.

Something New!

The College News this week has two new features, in

“accordance with its policy of reporting on matters that may
. be of interest to the campus.

_-mation on what the Undergrad Association is currently plan-

Dr. Adams of the Psychology
Department of Bryn Mawr will be
among the lecturers in the sym-
posium on “Expressive Aspects of
Language” conducted by the Psy-
chology Department of Clark Uni-
versity. Dr. Adams’ paper will
deal with “The Expressive Aspects

21, are the definition, manifesta-
tions, and approaches to the study
of the expressive aspects of lan-
guage. Emphasis will be placed
on the interaction of fields, and
the participants are renowned in
psychology, philosophy, and struc-
tural linguistics.

In the first session, in addition
to Dr. Adams, Susanne Langer of
Columbia University’s Philosophy
Department and Heinz Werner of
the Psychology Department of
Clark University will speak.

Hans Sperber, of linguistics,
Silvano Arieti, of psychiatric work,
and Solomon Asch, from the Psy-
chology Department of Swarth-
more, will present papers at the
second session, _ :

The third session will include
lectures by Silvano Arieti, Ber-
nard Kaplan, of psychology, and

Israel Shows Stability

progress. This is exemplified by
the Anglo-Egyptian conflict. The
crux of the matter is that Egypt,
like the rest of the Middle East,
has no stable democracy, no free
landed peasantry or middle class
organized as independent agents.

This is the danger to the sur-
vival of the Middle East. For 30
years they have not realized that
they should concentrate on intern-
al, not foreign affairs. Their eco-
nomic and social problems can
only be solved when they are ap-
proached realistically, not with an
eye to political gain.

One of the blocks to Israeli-
Arabian peace is the refusal by the
Arabs to recognize Israel as a na-
tion. They have not recovered
from the psychological shock re-
ceived in 1948 when the regular
armies of five Arab states could
not defeat 650,000 Jews.

Peace between the Arab states
and Israel will be possible only
when the Arabs realize that Israel
cannot be annihilated. There must
be mutual recognition and nego-
tiation. Mr. Shimoni believes that
to achieve this the Arabs will have
to develop progressive leadership
that will concentrate on internal
problems, and produce .a moderate
foreign policy. Pressure from the
U.N. and the United States to-
ward moderation of principles will
have great influence on the psy-
chological revolution that must
take place in the Arab mind. The
only way to peace is through de-
struction or negotiation. The first
was unsuccessful. Now Israel

waits until the Arabs are ready to
try the second.

Current Events.

Mr. Gilbert Discusses
European Trends
On Monday

“This summer was a _ political
turning point in European politics,”
said Mr. Felix Gilbert, head of
Bryn Mawr’s history department,

at Current Events on Novenibar———

16. Mr. Gilbert spoke on “Left
and Right in European Politics.”

The situation in Europe has
been changing, and varying gov-
ernments leave political Europe
still unsettled. The important
events of the summer began with
Sir Winston Churchill’s speech in
May, in which he stated his belief
that the East-West problems could
be solved. This was followed by
the French government crisis, the
italian elections, the French strike,
and the German elections. All of
these events followed the same pat-
tern and pointed towards a change
in European politics.

Since Mr. Gilbert had been in
Italy during the summer, he used
the Italian elections to illustrate
che current trend.

Italian Elections

In the recent Italian elections
the coalition government of the
Christian Democrats, Republicans,
Liberals, and Socialists did not re-
ceive its hoped-for fifty per cent
of the votes cast. « This was inter-
preted as a defeat for the govern-
ment, showing general dissatisfac-
cion with its rule, particularly in
the lack of energy in social reform.
DeGasperi was not able to reorgan-
ize his former coalition, but the
Christian Democrats were offered
the opportunity to join with the
left-wing Socialists. The Christ-
ian Democrats were not willing to
do this, and they exist today as a
government with little power.
These events are important be-
cause for the first time since 1948
a left-wing reform government has
been considered for Italy. The
present Christian Democratic gov-
ernment is strongly nationalistic,
and wants to settle the Trieste
problem.

The same situation as in Italy
occurred in France; a_ left-wing
government was proposed, but
wasn’t successful, and the opposi-
tion right-wing party is emphasiz-
ing nationalism.

Readjustment

This pattern—a renewed strength
of the left wing, interested in so-
cial reform, and a right wing par-
ty concerned: with national inter-
ests—is evident throughout al] the
political happenings of the sum-—
mer. These events are a definite
break with the political events in
Europe during the last five years.
From 1948-1953 the governments
were concerned mainly with the
problems of reconstruction—com-
bining the European nations and
building up a strong defense. But ~
now that the economy is improved
and the most urgent reconstruction
problems are solved, the govern-
ments are becoming concerned
with domestic problems. The Eur-
opean Defense Community has be-
come second to the political prob-
ems within the country.

Mr .Gilbert feels that the U. S.
must readjust her policies to meet
the needs of the times. Our foreign
policy is still directed toward the
reconstruction days of 1948-1953,
and does not recognize that today’s —
problems are political ones within
the European countries.

Fiad Three



Last Nighters

Shubert Stages Kismet,
Elaborate Musical
Production

especially contributed by
Gwen Davis, "54

Once upon a time, not necessar-
ily an Arabian Nights-time, there
were three theatre people at a par-
ty, and they got very drunk. “Say,”
said one, rather thickly, “you know
what would make a great musical ?
... That old Otis Skinner vehicle
—Kismet!”

“GREAT IDEA!” said the sec-
ond. “But who could we get to
write that real crazy Oriental mu-
sic?”

“IT know!” said the third, in a
voice that drowned out the rest of
the party. “I can’t think of his
name—whatcha call him, who wrote
that thing ... Prince Eeyore.”

This might not really be the way
that the idea of a musical version
of Kismet got its start, but from

,the performance on display at the
Shubert Theatre, it is not altogeth-
er unlikely.

Icing bat no Cake

There is no denying that a great
deal of effort, not to mention
money, has been put into this pro-
duction. The costumes are lavish,
the orchestra is well-tuned and
large for any musical, the cast is
numerous; some of them are re-
ported to be talented people. But
the idea of imposing words on the
erratic rhythms of Borodin, and
then imposing those rhythmes ‘on
the play, produces awkwardness
and/or near disaster.

Drake Unscathed

The only one who comes out al-
most unscathed is Alfred Drake.
As Haji, the penniless poet who,
within a period of twenty-four
hours, is mistaken for a wizard,
through a series of odd coinciden-
ces made rich by this error, placed
in the third highest position in
Bagdad, then threatened with
death, then flung up and down on
the wheel of fortune—or rather of
KISMET—and who after even
more of this, becomes the young
Caliph’s father-in-law, Alfred
Drake almost makes the audience
believe he is working with material.
He is arrogant, swaggering, and, in
many places, very much a ham.
But his presence is the only thing
which excuses (it is impossible to
say justifies) the play. Without
him it would be much less than
nothing. His voice, which is as ef-
fective, clear, and persuasive as
ever, is deprived of anything real-

Hedgerow Drama Group
Presents Play
By Lorca

by Barbara Drysdale, '55

Lorea’s The House of Bernarda
Alba is a difficult play to present.
Once more the Hedgerow theatre
group have proved themselves suc-
cessful pioneers.

Bernarda Alba is a domineering
woman who rules a female house-
hold (after the death of her hus-
band) in such a way as one might
expect in a matriarchal society.
Society is not, however, founded
upon her rules of blind. obedience
and maintenance of class lines. To
her great suprise, even her five

daughters are influenced by in-

stincts common to mankind

She pits herself against the
rules of the world; it is a c4se of
the immovable against the. i¥resis-
tible. Tragedy lies in the fagt that
neither wins.

Contrast the regal Bernarda
(Audrey Ward) with her’ crazy,
childish and pathetically funny
mother (Miriam Phillips); com-
pare the five repressed daughters,
each of whom alternates in fierce
love and intense hatred toward the
others; watch the addle-brained
maid and La Poncia (Helen Alex-
ander), so long a servant that she
has become Bernarda’s only friend
in the household. One can see that
the acts are indeed a “photo-
graphic document” as the author
intended, portraying clear-cut, as
well as blurred, light and shadow.

Yet it is far from being a som-
ber play. The light touches of
Lorca’s humor enliven it, but the
whole action builds up slowly and
inevitably to tragedy.

From the first opening of the
curtain the audience senses the po-
tentialities of the situation, and
the unknown explosive points of
the six individuals (mother and
daught@rs) provide the suspense.
One waits on the edge of the seat
for the explosion.

The House of Bernarda Alba
will be presented again on Thurs-
day, November 19, in the Foyer
of the Academy of Music,

Dig These Stacks!

Especially contributed by
Phyllis Tilson

In a corner of the West Wing
Library Stacks, the Bryn Mawr
College’ Record Collection has its
established residence. A familiar
resort for WBMC disc-jockeys in
need of records for their broad-
casts, the Record Library is per-
haps not equally well known to
other students since it is little
publicized.

The rather extensive record col-
lection includes the works of fam-
ous composers from Bach, through
Stravinsky, to Gilbert and Sulli-
van. On the shelves of the Record
Library, the music lover can find
recordings of her favorite musical
works, and there also are the
scores of many of these master-
pieces.

Students who are interested in

joining the Record Library, can do
So simply by beginning to borrow
records; they will automatically
become members. Records can be
taken out two at a time, and kept
for one week. The membership
fee for the Record Library is one
dollar per year. The money thus
coltected is used to purchase ad-
ditional records for the collection
throughout the year.
If. there are any questions on
the subject of the Record Library,
or any suggestions for records to
be added, please address them to
Vivi Bagg, Wyndham Hall.



Undergrad :

Discusses

Hoping to make the college as
a whole more aware of the topics

‘|the Undergrad Board |. discusses,

and hoping also to obtain a broad-
er basis of college opinion for
making decisions, the Undergrad-
uate Board will have this column
in the News every two or three
weeks. We welcome your opinions
on the topics we discuss; write or
speak to one of the members of
the Board. p

Following are two current
topics.

Princeton Band Concert

The Princeton Band offered to
come down one Friday night this
year and give a concert. We would
supply dinner and dates for the
i boys. After the concert, there
| would be a dance for everyone,
|some of the boys supplying the
;dance music. Unfortunately, no
date could be arranged for this
year, but if the college would
really enjoy it, it will be sched-
uled definitely next year.

N.S.A.

‘If Bryn Mawr is remaining a
member of N.S.A. this year, it was
felt that the college should be ac-
tive in this organization. The
problem discussed by the board
was the instruction of delegates to
the conferences. It was suggested
that an assembly of the student
body should be called to discuss top-
ics likely to be covered in the N.S.A.
meetings. The delegates would
then be aware of the opinions of
the college as a whole. The elec-
tion of delegates remains a prob-
lem. Should they be college elect-
ed, or appointed by a committee
representing the big five organ-
izations on campus? This remains
a problem, and suggestions from
you, the readers, are desired and
welcome. (Don’t forget to let the
Board know how you feel about
what goes on “around the cam-

pus.’”)

Summer Study Means Work and Fun;
England Offers Courses and Festivals

Would you like to spend a sum-
mer studying in England? The
British Universities Summer

Schools are offering, in 1954, pro-
grams at .QOxford, Stratford-on-
Avon, Edinburgh and _ London.

Since 1948, many post-graduate
students from Bryn Mawr, Colum-
bia, Yale, Harvard, Swarthmore,
and other colleges all over the
United States have attended the
schools.

This plan is recommended espe-
cially for those who cannot afford
to study abroad for one or two
years. The purpose of the pro-
gram is to enable students to
spend a summer of hard work and
play in England.

Features

Although about sixty percent of
the students are Americans, the
plan features the opportunity to
live in a university community
with fellow students of many
countries. Special efforts will be
made to introduce overseas visitors
to a British environment. Oppor-
tunities to visit places of interest
are a part of each course.

“Shakespeare and Elizabethan
Drama” is the program conducted
by the University of Birmingham
at Stratford-on-Avon. “Art, Lit-
erature and Music in England in
the Seventeenth and Eighteenth
Centuries” is the topic at the Uni-
versity of London. This course
features visits to the historic
places of interest in London.

At Oxford, “Politics and Litera-

deBalzac Speaks
On French Africa

Gerald deBalzac, an authority
on French Africa, and a native
Frenchman, presented information
on the sociological, economic, and
political life of French West and
Central Africa and Madagascar,
on Thursday.

Mr. deBalzac began by correct-
ing any mistaken idea students
tmay have had on political de-
pendence of the French colonies,
and said that they have political
rights nearly as complete as those
of French citizens. As far as vis-
iting France, or entering a French
institution goes, the colonies’ in-
habitants are considered French
subjects. The Negro in the French
colonies possesses complete equal-
ity with the white man, and has
opportunities for education and en-
trance into every sort of profes-
sion.



Not the Jungle

After a short introductory talk,
two movies concerned with life in
the French colonies were shown.
The first depicted a native nurse
enaged in her daily duties, show-
ing the improved hygienic condi-
tions that the French have
brought. All children are now giv-
en periodic check-ups, while nurses
and doctors yearly watch the gen-
eral welfare of the citizens. Every-
one is vaccinated, and protected
against malaria, the worst disease
in Africa. Since the French have
started improvements, incidentally,
the literacy rate is up to 45%.

The second movie showed life on
the Azore Islands, as seen from
the port city of Dakar. It portray-
ed the townspeople in their most
gala dress as they met and gossip-
ed on their weekly holiday. Up-to-
date, strong buildings and large
buses were seen. A glimpse of
the way trade is carried on was
caught when we saw a market-
place, where the people come from
all over the countryside to barter
their homemade and home-grown
products. The information cor-
rected the mistaken impression
many people have of Africa as a
wild, jungle-like continent.

“gon



ture in the Twentieth Century” is
the subject of the course. Here
(and at some other universities)

students will work in_ tutorial
classes specializing in certain
fields.

“The Development of Modern

Western Civilization” is the title
of the course at the University of
Edinburgh. The International Fes-
tival of Music and Drama is held
here two weeks after the close of
the course.

Fees for the six weeks’ univer-
sity course total approximately
$204 (minus travel expenses). A
limited number of grants (cover-
ing half the fee) will be offered
needy students. The schools are
recognized for credits at Amer-
ican universities.

Application forms and further
information may be obtained from
the Institute of International Edu-
cation, 1 East 67th Street, New
York 21. Those wishing to apply
for passage on Cunard ships must
return application forms by March
24, 1954. Other forms must be
received by April 7. All candidates
will be informed by May 1, 1954.

B. M. C. Welcomes
Philippine Grads!

by Joyce Mitchell, ’55

Bubbling with excitement over
last week’s national elections in
their native Republic 6f:the Philip-
pines are three graduate students
at Bryn Mawr; Mrs. Carolina
Docot-Custodia, and the Misses
Cristeta Feria and Milagros Perez.

Known to the other students at
the grad center respectively as
Carolina, Cris and Mila, they each
express their happiness that their
favorite candidate and “hero”,
Magsaysay, was elected in what
was, on the whole, a very peaceful

election.
Santo Tomas

Carolina, whose twenty-one

month old son, Pocholo, is under

‘the care of her mother in Sorso-

a Fellowship
scholar in the Department of Edu-
cation. She plans to take her M.A.
in education in one or two years.
Before coming to Bryn Mawr she
was supervisor of the elementary
department at the Liceo de Albay,

and instructor in the college of
education. She would like to enter
government service when she re-
turns home.

Cristeta, who is taking an M.A.
in Political Science this year is a
Fulbright scholar at Bryn Mawr.
She is on leave of absence from
her positions as part-time instruc-
tor at the School of Foreign Serv-
ice of the University of Manila,
and as attorney in the Dep ent
of Foreign Affairs of the Philip-
pine government.

Mila taught mathematics for
two years at the College of Liberal
Arts after she was graduated in
1951 from the University of Santo
Tomas. She is on a two-year leave
of absence during which she will
complete work for her M.A. in
mathematics as a tuition scholar
at Bryn Mawr.

All three students attended the
University of Santo Tomas before
coming to Bryn Mawr. It is eleven
years older than Harvard, and was
used by the Japanese as an intern-
ment camp for American civilians
during World War II. It has since
reverted to its former leadership
under the Dominican fathers. Their
choice of B awr was largely
based upon the recommendation of

Reviewer Finds Borodin
Treated Most Unjustly
Continued from Page 3 —

ly worth singing, with the excep-
tion of a “song” called “Fate”
which is composed of only the
aforementioned rhythms anyway.

It is unnecessary and unjust to
go into the qualities or qualifica-
tions of Borodin. In this musical,
the man has already been done a
great injustice. Taking only the
evidence presented in Kismet,
there is very little workable melody
in this composer’s work, and what-
ever there is should have been left
alone. The greatest contribution
of the music was its suitability for
the dances, and even they were
pushed to the extreme in monoto-
and sometimes
vulgar choreography.

As for the other members of
the cast, Doretta Morrow, as Haji’s
daughter, to retain a
great deal of charm and simplicity
in spite of the music she sings,
and the sugared lyrics. Richard
Kiley, an appealing young actor

from television, has the mistortune
to fill in as the Caliph for someone
else who seems to have been smart
enough to have gotten out. There
are other people in it, too: among
them, Joan Diener, who plays the
sultry wife of the Wazir, the part
that Marlene must have done mag-
nificently in the movie version.
Albert Marre directed the whole
thing. He and his confederates
have thrown in every theatrical
trick, gag and gimmick in the book,
which I presume they presume
will make them a lot of money.

Mademoiselle Workshop Pane! Discusses Trouble Spots
In Employment Placement For Liberal Arts Graduates

especially contributed by

Mrs. Howard E. Sullivan, of the
Bureau of Recommendations

The Mademoiselle workshop on,

trouble spots in placing liberal |

arts women graduates, held at the
Hotel Biltmore for officers of 100
women’s collegés, centered around
five often heard pleas of college
seniors: “I want to write”, “I don’t

want to sell”, “I want to work
with people’, “I want to use my
art”, and “I want to travel”.

The first panel, tackling the
problems of hopeful writers,
agreed that women who want to
enter the fields of free-lance writ-
ing, advertising, publicity, publish-
ing, radio and television, should
have a good foundation of basic
grammar, as much writing prac-
tice as possible, intelligence, tal-
ent, and secretarial skills. When
app.ying for a job, the experts
suggested learning as much as
possible about each company and
its job openings, asking help and
advice from friends in this field,
a good letter of application, aad
an open mind to consider other
types of beginning jobs which
might lead to the desired goal.

Retailing Work

Retailing, on the other hand,
stated the second panel, is one of
the brightest spots for women in-
terested in executive positions,
high salaries, and exciting work.
To the girl who says “I don’t want
to sell”, they replied that life con-
sists of selling, be it your per-
sonality, looks, ideas or merchan-

However, the jobs open to
women do not include ac-
tuaY selling but range from buyer

\ x . .
and fashion coordinator to train-

|ing or personnel. As a prepara-
tion for these jobs, many stores
offer young women paid training
courses which vary in length from
four months to one year.

Help, Design, Travel

The answer to many “I want to
work with people” college women
is the field of social welfare, stated

the next panel. However, accord-

ing to Gordon Hamilton, Associate

Dean of the New York School of
Social Welfare, there is not enough
interest in this work due, in part,
to the cost of training, lack o1
favorable publicity, and low sal-
aries. She pointed out that there
are excellent chances for scholar-
ships, and that 60% of the stud-
ents are subsidized. The other
members advocated summer ex-
perience and academic courses as a
means of arousing interest. They
added that the low salaries are
constantly increasing, and _ that
there are many compensations
other than financial ones.

Design, fashion, interior deco-
rating and display are difficult
fields for the beginner to enter,
emphasized the art group.



-_



There '

is no set path for getting a start,
especially in fashion and design,
but it is a long process, of work,
study and chance. For display and
interior decoration, previous ex-
perience was stressed, and “I
decorated my room at college” is
not a pass word for admission to
these exacting and _ physically
strenuous professions.

For those who say “I want to
travel” there is hope from several
sources including the army recre-
ation program, American Red
Cross, State Department, the
teaching field, and the United Na-
tions. In many cases, however, the
| applicant must be 23 years of age
with one year’s experience in the
U. S.; often the choice of country
is limited.

An Appetizing Profile

The Mademoise.le trouble-shoot-
ers agreed that the best chance for
the best job goes to the pleasant,
willing and attractive graduate,
or, as Bernice Fitz-Gibbon, adver-
tising manager of Manhattan’s
Gimbels, put it “an appetizing
package with a good profile all
the way.”

“Instead of scaring people away
this intrigued them.” To Rosen-
bach, an unrealistic price was a
means of getting the book into the
hands of someone who would cher-
ish it. “Reluctance to sell what he
particularly liked” might take the
form of “a sum tacked on” to the
price.

“One by one books disappeared
and turned up on the shelves of
his fabulous library,” and “it was
known that once a book went home
it was not for sale.” Though Rosen-
bach was front page news when he
bought a copy of the Bay Psalm
Book for $151,000, another copy,
bought privately in Ireland, had
stood in his library for years.”

His publicity devices also in-
cluded possession of a talking par-
rot, although “he hated the bird
with feeling.”

Rosenbach’s library included the

college football programs from coast to coast.
