Leach Compares
U.S. Democracy
ToScandinavian

Declares Baltic Gov’ts
Less Representative
Than U. S.

Goodhart, April 14, 1947. ““Dem-
ocracy means ‘the people rule’. The
question is who are the people and
how do they rule’, stated Mr.
Henry Goddard Leach, speaking on
the subject “Scandinavian versus
American Democracy”. Basing his
observations on the manifestations
of Liberty, Equality, and Frater-
nity, Mr. Leach explained that
Fraternity in America -is general,
a technique of American behavior,
while in Scandinavian countries it
is on a much more organized scale.
This is seen in the Cooperative
system which includes a third of
Scandinavian industry.

‘Russians, aS we see it, are cbn-
stantly levelling down to get the
least common denominator, Scan-
dinavians_ are constantly levelling

p, whereas the United States lev-
fs to the average”, asserted Mr.
Leach. This shows the different
attitude in the three countries con-
cerning equality. In Sweden, for
example, he pointed out, social or
political affiliations would not bar
the nomination of any candidate for
office. “The conservatives would
not hesitate to put up a count or
baron, although he probably would

Alliance to Form

Chapter of SDA

The first Alliance meeting for
the organization of an S.D.A.
chapter on campus will be on
April 28. Marjorie Low ’50, tem-
porary chairman, will present the
S.D.A.’s student program for
1947-48, and the S. D.:A. Constitu-
tion as ratified on March 30 at the
organizing conference in Washing-
ton, D. C. She will touch on the
elements of the S..D.A. program
most relevant to the student pro-
gram. After this the floor will be

open for questions and discussion |

of the purposes, organization, and
policy of the S.D..A.
Following this, a committee will
be selected to draft a constitution
for presentation at a future meet-
ing. Temporary committees will.
be selected to handle other facts
of the organization of a campus
chapter. These committees and
their charimen will serve until the
ratification of a constitution, at
which time the regular officers will
be elected for the following year.
The chairman stresses the fact
that if Bryn Mawr is to have an
active chapter in the S.D.A., it
ig necessary that the process of
Pervination be carried through
efficiently and rapidly. An active
program this spring will mean that
next year the chapter will be al-
ready sufficiently on its feet to go
immediately into action without
undergoing a completely new pro-
eess of organization.

With Swarthmore, Haverford,
Penn, Temple, Ursinus, and other
schools in this area already at
work, the formation of a Bryn
Mawr .S..D..A.. chapter will .be.w.
strong step towards the growth of

al organi-*~jpa the.
chairman pointed out. It will also
lead towards the unification of the
progressive and liberal students in
the Philadelphia area.





Cameras Immortalize BM Stars;
Hollywood Life Proves Tedious

By Katrina Thomas, *49

Follow a great black snake-like
cable wound around a bannister in
Taylor or anywhere else on cam-
pus and you are just as apt to find
yourself on a Hollywood set where
a Bryn Mawr girl is being immor-
talized, or Miss McBride is open-
ing the proceedings of the College
Council for the twelfth time while
the movie cameras whir-r and
buzz-z and ultimately break down.

The Bryn Mawrtyr has found
that being a movie star is not such
a glamorous life after all; even
though it might be a little more

‘Ondine,’ April 18
ndine, April 18
After their successful perform-
ance in Philadelphia at the Bar-
clay Hotel, the combined French
Clubs of Haverford and Bryn
Mawr plan to give another per-
formance of “Ondine,” Friday,
April 18th, at Goodhart Hall, 8:30.
The performance will be for the

benefit of American Aid for
France.



Jean Giraudoux, author of “On-
dine,” is one of the leading con-
temporary novelists and play-
wrights of France. His play was
tremendously popular in Paris,
when Louis Jouvet played the lead.

“Ondine” has a large cast of
twenty-seven, of. which, in the
coming production, six are native
Frenchmen. Ondine will be played
by Doreen Hurwitz, ’47, Chevalier
by Bernard Barrat, Bertha by
Maxine Gordon, Eugenie by Mar-
tine Rouchaud and Auguste by
Claude Namy. The director, Ellen
Harriman, ’48, with help from M.
Pamplume, in reference to the
cast, mentioned three “very wrig-
gly mermaids,” too. She also said
that the “miracles” in the second
act were extremely exciting, one
of them being a Venus toute nue.

The play is like a Thurber Fairy
Tale, a cross between the sad and
the satirical. It is a satire of the
old story of Sintram and Ondine,
with its humor varying from broad
slapstick to the most sophisticated
satire.

L. Stapleton Wins
Guggenheim Grant

The Guggenheim Foundation an-
nounced on Sunday that one of its
annual awards is going this year
to Miss K. Laurence Stapleton, As-
sociate Professor in the English
Department of Bryn Mawr. These
awards go to “scholars and artists
to provide opportunities for them
to continue work in their chosen
fields.” Fellowships have been
awarded this year to sixteen wom-
en, a record number since the first
fellowships were given in 1925.

Miss Stapleton will use her
award in the “preparation of a
book on democracy, with the pur-
pose of restating the general ideas
on which democracy depends and
of describing the setting and at-
mosphere of democracy today as
they appear to a private citizen.”

Miss Stapleton plans to take
half of her; fellewshin. in- the first

_semester of next year and the oth-

er half. soon -* e can; she
will not be away all next year and
“I’m not going anywhere exciting
like China, either,” she —

Prom Queen Will
Preside April 26

An underwater decor and “in-
sufficient lighting’ (which will be
sufficient) will aid Larry Miller’s
orchestra from 9.80 till two on
April 26, Junior Prom night. The
orchestra will play continually ex-
cept for one long intermission, dur-
ing which time a Prom King and
Queen will be crowned.. Sopho-
mores are sworn to silence con-
cerning their royal identity.

The dance will be a program
dance but, unlike former proms,
will play more waltzes, more
rhumbas, more sambas, and fewer
fast numbers. Philadelphia weath-
er permitting, tables and chairs
will be set up outside the gym, so
that the dancers may get out of
the underwater decor.

Salinas Answers
Varied Questions

On Spanish Life

Pedro Salinas, an outstanding
modern Spanish poet and profes-
sor of Spanish language and liter-
ature at Johns Hopkins University,
spoke at Bryn Mawr on Thursday,
April 10,-in the Common Room.
His subject was “An Hour of
Spain.” For the sake of accuracy
it should be said that Senor Sali-
nas did not lecture. He feels that
lectures are an imposition and pre-
ferred to answer questions instead.

Salinas met the barrage of ques-
tions from the audience with keen,
rambling, humorous replies. He
apoke on subjects varying from
Nature in the poetry of Fray Luis
de Leon to the intelligence of a
dog who wandered into the lecture.

In answer to the question of why
“Don Quixote” is considered the
only book in Spanish literature,
Salinas said that the problem was
one of translation. It is easier to
translate material which has a
meaning for all people. A deep
knowledge of a book requires a
deep knowledge of the language in
which it is written. Spanish is not
as universally understood as some
other languages. For that reason,
the statement that the Quixote is
the only great Spanish book is un-
just. Salinas feels that at least a
dozen more Spanish works deserve
international greatness.

Salinas knows Picasso best of
the modern Spanish artists. He
thinks him a true artist because of
his frequent changes in style. He
added that since the sixteenth cen-
tury there has never been a paint-
er like Goya.

Salinas defined education as a
well directed curiosity. When ask-
ed how a poem is written, the poet
replied that the question is inter-
planetary. “An Hour of Spain’ in-
cluded numerous other aspects of
Spain colorfully interpreted by the
magnetic, truly Spanish personal-
ity of Pedro Salinas.

G. Medes Explains
Use of Isotopes

Park Wednesday, April 9th.—
“What went on inside the human
body was an early mystery, but
now,” said Dr. Grace Medes in her
Jecture on isotopes and their uses
as tracers in the human organism,
“faintly radioactive, stable isotopes
may be used. as tracers in the
body.”” Carbon isotopes were, for
a long time, the only type of .iso-
tope procurable. Now heavy hy-
drogen, which is more easily pro-
duced and separated, may be used.

Dr. Medes explained, however,
that cancer is produced by slow
radiation over long periods of
time... Seientists are not yet sure
whether long lived radioactive iso-
itopes are also a cause of cancer.
This theory will, of course, have
to be investigated by painstaking
research before the scheme of ex-
perimentation can make progress,
she added.

The criteria upon which the
choice of isotopes for use in such
experiments is based are two:
availability, which means that
they are now radioactive and sec-
ondly, the length of time for which
Dr. Medes
pointed out that carbon isotopes

vice, “Rebbi-yames G.. 4 | must be synthesized, but nitrogen | ~

isotopes may be. int,
no acids.
. She concluded her sos with
a discussion of the characteristics
of the different isotopes.

Conflict of Democracy
‘And Communism —
Approaches

Goodhart, April 15. “Transitions
in history result from a new tech-
nical capability and a social fit-
ness”, declared Bruce Hopper in
the Current Affairs Assembly.
Speaking on America and Russia:
Strategic Factors, Mr., Hopper
stressed the fact that in this. dec-
ade, such a transition is taking
place in world history. We are
moving from one era to another,
and our degree of social fitness and
technical capability will decide the
results of the inevitable clash of
communism and democracy in this
period.

There is a perceptible move to-
wards centralization today, a move
in which the individual may easily
become completely subordinated.
Technical capability, a development
of air power: this alone can check
the trend, stated Mr. Hopper. Both
Russia and America are able to de-
velop technically, but these two ne-
tions are basically opposed in their

The ‘Vill’ Stores
Show Co-operation
In College Drive

‘During the period beginning
Friday, April 18 and ending on
May 3, 5% of everything bought
by students, faculty, and alumnae
at cooperating stores in the village
will be given to the Bryn Mawr
College Fund 1946—. The stores
listed below have agreed to help
us in this way. The. students are
asked to help the drive, and to
show courtesy to those stores who
are aiding us, by patronizing them.
Everyone is urged to make spring
purchases, including graduation
presents, within these two. weeks.

A complete list of the stores in-
cluded in this plan will be posted
and further information circulated.
In addition, all cooperating stores
will display placards calling atten-
tion to this drive. They will also
be equipped with Bryn Mawr Col-
lege stickers. When students (or
faculty or alumnae or staff) buy
from one of these stores, they must
ask that their purchases be re-
corded on a sales slip with a Bryn
Mawr sticker attached. This ¢o-
operation is essential to the suc-
cess of the campaign.

Stores taking part are:

Three-Way Balance

The present telephone strike poses the question of wheth-
er the unions should be allowed to organize strikes in the pub-
lic utilities. The strike, which shows no immediate prospect
of being satisfactorily settled, is a cause of general disruption
throughout industry. Once again it has been demonstrated
that specific and effective legislation or arbitration is neces-
sary, beginning if possible when the strike is imminent; it
seems ridiculous to delay action until the shutdown.

The executive branch of the government has no consis-
tent policy towards labor and pursues a vacillating policy of
appeasement, punctuated by an occasional temporary victory.
Government interference in a capitalistic society is a serious
step which inevitably leads to discussion of absolute govern-
ment control. Such control is, however, incompatible with
what proposes to be an economy of free enterprise. The
three-sided relationship of government, labor, and capital
must balance so as to prevent domination by any one sli the
expense of the other two.

- Labor is preventing the establishment of this desired
balance and will continue to do so until it is reconciled with
capital and government. It is hoped that such a reconcilia-
tion will be peer effected by the present efforts in

Congress.













The Great Outdoors

Opportunities in the line of sports have shown a marked
_ increase this year. Old plans have been expanded, new ones
adopted, and the whole program has been infused with fresh
interest. But these plans can only go half-way; their suc-
cess depends upon the response of the student body.
Heightened activity in every field of athletic competition
has meant a good season for each team. Archery and la-
crosse are reappearing on campus, because of student de-
mand. Their reception will be indicative of Bryn Mawr’s at-
titude toward sports.
r More remarkable, however, is the appeal ne the non-|in

I am sitting in the grass and,
although it seems peaceful enough,

fools of those who praise her. Cer-
tainly she will make fools of all of
us, whether we talk about her or
not, but let us smile foolishly, since
we must, and enjoy our April at-
tack of lunaticism in silence.
How strange it is that for all our
wisdom we cannot adjust ourselves
to the mysteries of times and
places. We are continually being
astonished by the seasons, by the
remembered past, the ungraspable
present, the future which exists
only in our faith that the clocks
will continue to tick. Nor do we
feel comfortable in space. ‘Perhaps
we move too fast. We get on a
train Here and get off it There, but
are we the same? And yet, go

‘ slowly, walk from this tree to that

one. Note well the tree, the smell
of the grass, the shape of this
cloud. Inspect, as you walk, the
mechanism of feet and knees, and
remember, if you can, the way each
blade of grass is shaped and the
configuration of twigs and leaves.
Yet, when you are There, the you
that was Here, the you that so
carefully observed the transition
has quite disappeared.

‘Perhaps that is why we are so
strange, when we are on voyages.
For certainly we behave queerly
on trains, and surely the world
looks differently when seen from
a train window. It is an unfinished
world, a world full of half- seen
shapes and half-heard sounds. We
see boy hit the ball and throw
the Seb but we shall never know
who caught the ball or whether the
boy made first. We look for an
eternal instant into a kitchen. We
see the stove, the chair, the sink
with the calendar above it, the
woman speaking to the child. But
we cannot smell the kitchen or in-
spect the calendar-picture, or hear
the woman’s voice. Or suddenly
will flash by in quick succession
a muddy river, a pasture with a
horse in it who lokos at us, a shack,
a monstrous factory and then a
great field with a Gothic building
at one end, and a dozen nuns walk-
ing in the high grass, their black
robes blowing as if in a dance, as
if blown to this field out of a tap-
estry. And finally your train stops
next to another train and, looking
out, you will see a face. It is no
particular face and certainly it is
an unfamiliar one. Yet your eyes
and those eyes will catch and hold
and you will stare and stare.

Perhaps you will smile at last.

ings, there is a contact deeper than

idea of the individual, he added.
There are certain driving forces
behind the Russian people which
are 700 years old. These basic
motives, such as a tutelage over
Asia, sea coast, and Panslavism,
coupled with the “horsepower” of
the Bolshevist program are push-
ing the efforts of the Russian peo-
ple to the maximum. The totali-
tarian Bolshevist regime, Mr. Hop-
per continued, has undertaken to
indoctrinate Russia with a faith in

the inevitability of the downfall of

capitalism and democracy. As a
result, the Kremlin policy has been
to gain time, to “keep the world
fluid’ so that the hope for the new
system will be realized. This, Mr.
Hopper said, was the case even be-

fore and during World War II, and}

is the case now. “An economic cri-
sis in the United States will drive
the world to Communism.” A crisis
in Russia, however, might spell the
death of Communism; he continued.

The clash of the two nations, Mr.
Hopper believes, is _ inevitable.
Whether the struggle will be a mil-
itary one or a_ subversive one,
technical capability will decide the
outcome. The test is social fitness.
Mr. Hopper likened the United
States to a nation used to poker,
now forced to play chess with Rus-
sia, the master of the game. The
stake is democracy. ‘We’ve got

to be absolutely blunt”,:to make |:

our intentions succinct and unmis-
takable. In the chess game, ‘“‘we
can checkmate the king, Totalitar-
ianism, only by superior. social fit-
ness and technical capability,” Hop-
per concluded.

not get as many votes. A com-
munist may be nominated for any
office,” and in general the respon-
sibility and intelligence of the in-
dividual is the deciding factor.
This follows the common attitude
of Scandinavia regarding Liberty
which Mr. Leach said “Accentu-
ates the desirability of personal

liberty using regulations merely to];

maintain social order.”

In an historical review of Scan-
dinavia, Mr. Leach pointed out that
when the people lost their “imag-
inative Pantheism” they lost as
well some sense of family and
personal loyalty. “Individualism,
appreciation of quality in behavior
and deeds, the virtue of sacrifice,
and respect for law remained.” The
Scandinavians assimilated the cul-
tures and laws of all the lands they
conquered, and added to the sys-
tems in many lands, including
Great Britain.

Current Events

April 14, Common Room. “The
economic disorganization at the
end of World War II is still the
primary root of the economic prob-
lems all over the world,” asserted
Dr. Northrop, speaking on “The
Economic Background of Europe
Today.” To understand these prob-
lems, it is necessary to study the
U. S. policy of Lend Lease in 1941.
By this policy, she continued, we
undertook to supply the allied na-
tions with civilian needs and arma-
ments during the war. Since Eu-
rope’s labor supply, agricultural
system, communication lines and
transportation were completely de-
stroyed, 50-75 per cent of the civil-
ian products consumed by the Al-
lies were provided by Lend Lease.

The problems came when the U.
S. found she had no money to con-
tinue supplying the needs of Ku-
rope, and Lend Lease stopped. As
soon as the war was over, Dr.
Northrop. stated, all European
economies were destroyed and the
stopping of Lend Lease only made
the situation more critical.

Thus, she continued, the ecoenom-
ic problem of..Europe is the prob-
lem of a country trying to recon-
struct its.economy with no out-
side help. Greece, for example,
has an economic background of
despair and destruction. She has
always been dépendent on outside
economy, Dr. Northrop brought
out. We have no right not to go
in to-help-her-rebuild her economy.

The Greece situation is just one
of many, she continued, presented
to us under the guise of “political
action.” The difference between
political and economic ‘problems is
difficult, but unless we can split the
two down to a point of basic econ-
omy and unless these economic
problems are solved international-
ly, there will never be any polit-
ical peace.

The economic problems are so

severe in Europe, she said, that
political action must become stern-
er. She stressed that nQ country
can rebuild itself by ah as.
no-country_ today can be self suffi-
cient economically.
The economic background of the
Moscow conference, she brought
out, is the question of reconstruct-
ing Germany as an economic unit.
If we sectionalize. Germany, the
economic problems of Europe will
accumulate, for Germany has al-
ways been an economic unit, a
part of a vast network of trade.

The difficulties that Britain is
having today in her economy
should be a challenge to America,
Dr. Northrop said. As a factor in
the economic problems of Europe,
she mentioned the unbalance in
production and consumption in the



United States.



Giraudoux Play Features Frogs,
Hercules, Wriggling Mermaids

By Betty-Bright Page °49

“C’est la gazelle que le faucon

| placidly as an unfamiliar screech

breaks into the conversation at
court in the second act of Ondine,
the forthcoming French Club play.
And it is not very startling to the
audience either. Gazelles seem
thoroughly in keeping with the Ve-
nus, the pyramids, and the Tree
of Judea, all of which appear soon-
er or later in Giraudoux’ mermaid-
ish yet sophosticated fantasy. The
King of the Mermaids, alias the
Court Magician, can do anything!

Then the steady flow of French
continues, punctuated by the help-



less gestures of one member in the

cast who doesn’t seem to know the
“throat” from the “hips” in French.
The fisherman, who doesn’t under-
stand a word of French, has some
difficulty with his amusing lines.
They only become more risque since
he doesn’t know what he’s talking
about.

“It’s a gren-oo-ee, not gren-uh-

BM FEF faculty, Haverford Students
Foil Owls in Baseball, Lacrosse

By Helen Martin, °49

Major league baseball and, as
far as Bryn Mawr was concerned,
minor league lacrosse were the
main sports events of the week-
end as the students of this respect-
ed hothouse of knowledge found
again (when will they learn?) that
male brawn cannot be withstood
by feminine mind, however en-
lightened.

To attack this Sunday (virtually
Gentlemen’s Day) chronologically,
to avoid offense, the faculty-stu-
dent baseball game was dramatic,
intense—and won by the faculty.
The scantily clad faculty, with the
pitcher-eatcher combination of
Berry and Hewitt, was too much
for the varsity, although a final
score of 15-14 betokened a close
fight. In all modesty, the student
team acknowledges that the aid of
the co-ed contingent was invalu-
able. Bryn Mawr had only one
run, until the boys joined their
forces in the fourth inning. From
then on, quarter was neither given
nor taken, and the nine-inning
game was finally decided when,
with a runner on third, Bryn



Alliance Receives
Note from Athens

One more clothing drive spon-
sored by the Alliance will be held
on the campus this year. The fair
amount of clothes. received this
fall were sent directly to a com-
mittee in Greece for distribution,
whle some of the generous contrib-
utions after Christmas have been
sent to Cambloux. The rest will
go directly to a committee in
Greece, Claude Valabregue, Cloth-
ing Chairman reports. The faculty
have given many articles to both
drives, she added..

The President of the Alliance has
received the following letter from
Athens from the mother of Thalia
Argyropoulo ’49:

“Dear President,

Miss Thalia Argyropoulo has in-| {)°

formed us that your committee, in
its willingness to help the destitute
women and children of Greece, has
ane a drive for the collection
of clothes. ‘We therefore express
to you our sincere tharks for your
understanding of the tragic condi-
tions of want under which vast
numbers of the Greek people are
still living, as a result of the part
they played in this war. We are
deeply appreciative of that spirit
of generosity which has prompted
you to come to our help and we
want to assure you that it would
be difficult to find a people more
in need of this precious support.

On. Miss Argyropoulo’s request
we have formed a committee which
will undertake responsibility to
distribute the clothing — received
from you. The members of this
committee are:

Basil V. Melas—Banker—Presi-
dent of the Boys’ Scout Associa-
tion, Attica.

Elli Adossides—Matron of the
Greek Red Cross.

Kaity Argyropoulo—Author—Re-
forestation Commissioner of At-
tica.

Aspasia Botassi—Social Worker.

Because of the destruction of
many villages, the population of
Athens has increased beyond all
proportion and the country folk
that have taken refuge in the city
lost all their belongings and means
of living. Our intention is there-
fore to come to the help of these
people and distribute the clothing
in the poorest refugee quarters of
the town.

These people will know to whom
they wilt Owe vrreo OC pres-

ents and together with them we
thank you again.

Mawr’s line drive was caught by

‘| Dr. Watson,. for the third out.

The gentlemen had slightly more
of an edge in the lacrosse game,
sad to say. The Haverford team
contented itself with nine goals
and Bryn Mawr came through with
four, made by Kane, Abell, Grey
and John (“This is the first time
I’ve had a stick in my hand’) Es-
tey, visiting fireman from Haver-
ford. Spectators dribbled over
from the baseball field, when the
faculty had edged out the students,
to watch the one-handed stickwork
of Haverford confuse the home
team; for example, the goalie
brought the ball straight down the
field to scoré against Bryn Mawr;
but a few minutes
Mawr’s goalie, the redoubtable
John, retaliated by dashing up the
field, cradling the ball, to score
for his adopted team. After the
game, both teams trooped to Kast
House for high tea and other fes-
tivities. ;

The gymnasium held open house
on Saturday night; bridge, on the
agenda, was ignored in favor of
more athletic ping-pong, badmin-
ton and swimming. The popular-
ity of the evening may precipitate
another open house in the near fu-
ture,

Hockey season is not over! Two
seniors, Darst Hyatt and Ellen
Carey, have been taking advantage
ot spring hockey at Sacred Heart
on ‘luesdays at 4:30 and at 10:30
on Saturday mornings. Anyone
interested in joining them may en-
quire at the gym.

Three members of the Bryn
Mawr swimming team spent Fri-
day at Barnard College at a div-
ing instruction meet. Lucia Ewing,
Edie Roach and Sheila Eaton ac-
companied Miss Yeager to Barnard
where several other colleges were
represented. Ann Ross, Barnard
graduate, instructed as the divers
demonstrated and gave: an’exhibi-
tion on diving instruction.

[xchange System

In Halls Clarified

Miss Howe has announced the
following regulations governing
exchanges in the halls regarding
various meals. Students are re-
quested to read this notice care-
fully.

LUNCH

A student taking lunch in a hall
other than her own is expected to
exchange with a student frém the
hall to ‘which she wishes to go.

Example: A Merion student who
wishes to take lunch in Denbigh
should arrange for a Denbigh stu-
dent to go to Merion. Both stu-
dents should sign exchange slips.
DINNER

A student who wishes to take
dinner in a hall other than her own
may go to another hall if there is
a vacant place without arranging
for an exchange. She may go twice
to the same hall in any one week
without charge.

NOTE: If more than one stud-
ent plans to go to another hall she
should make arrangements with
the warden of the other, hall in ad-

Famous Letters and Signatures
Exhibited in Rare Book Room

By Emily Townsend, ’50

Dear Mr. Isbister,

I am making up an entire copy
of my books for a lady in America
... I trust you will not mind let-
ting me have them, as the lady is
@ very beautiful woman.

sSincerely yours,
Anthony Trollope.

Mr. Trollope’s interesting epis-
tle, accompanied by a handsome
bearded portrait, is only one of the
large collection of famous gentle-
men’s letters that make up the
Rare Book Room’s twenty-fifth ex-
hibit. A considerable part of the
letters were donated to the college
by M. Carey Thomas, who got them

from Logan Pearsall Smith, who
| got them in the morning mail.:The
History Department lent a “really
very valuable letter even if you
can’t read it” from Pere Enfantin
to Alphonse de Lamartine, 1849, in
an enviable script. President Park
gave two of her letters: one from
Fridtjof Nansen, addressing her as
Miss Edwards and regretting he
could not see her in Norway, and
the other from Robert Frost, who
wrote:

America’s foremost authority on young
people’s problems

What does it matter if you’re not an extrovert?
If everyone were a star performer..,strutting
stuff on a stage...

there’d be no audience!

We aren’t all equipped with the courage of the comedian

who takes jeers, catcalls and overripe merchandise along with
his applause. We aren’t all endowed with poise and agility te

do handstands in public.

Many of us do our very best work in private. Alone with a
congenial soul we put on a very good show. Together with a
handful of cronies...we blossom out with an A-1 performance,

’ But because mob scenes panic you...strange faces freeze you
e..and too many listening ears make you bewitched...you crawl
into a shell marked “shy”. And hide. You use it as your excuse
for not putting out your best foot in any direction.

Nothing you have to say could possibly interest anybody,
you think...so you.shut up like a clam. You’d probably look
foolish if you tried anything new in public...people would
laugh...so you hang back. In comparison to people you know
e-- your looks and talents come modestly out the small end of
the horn. So you douse your self-confidence yourself ...and

shiver with fears.

But the days of the vapors are over! Hockey players seldom
swoon. Ladies are now exotic and efficient busy bees. You have
your, own special claims on fame. You needn’t shrivel up with

shyness.

All eyes are not looking at you! Nobody cares what you de
---nearly as much as you do. So stop worrying about the impres
sion you're making. Relax and let people impress you. It might
surprise you to know how eagerly they want YOU to like them!

A pathetic letter from Robert
Browning (“it is only that the
public has been hearing a name so
often that they turn their heads

next to a curt refusal of Robert
Bridges to lecture; across the way
is Woodrow Wilson’s complaint to
Dr. Rhoads on the “rather too ob-
trusive appearance of cheapness

how he -could not possibly pay
more than thirty dollars a month
rent with his “experience of house-

The collection finishes up with a
note, loaned by Mrs. Alsa Johnson,
from Dickens to

Deserter of your friends,

A babby is to be christened
and a fatted calf killed on these
premises on Tuesday ... It
(the calf, not the babby) is to be
taken off the spit at six. Can you
come and gladden the heart of
the indignant.

Boz.
