omores: .

1. Hell Week starts Wednesday
at (or immediately following) sup-

C. Robbins, Ferrater Mora, Soper,

Michels Will Leave This Semester

Four Bryn Mawr professors will
be on part time leave for second
semester during which time five
visiting lecturers will be on the
campus,

‘Miss (Caroline Robbins of the His-
tory Department departed recently
for the University of Michigan
where she will be the first visiting
professor on the Alice Freeman

lecturer in psychology.

One of the visiting lecturers for
the second semester, however, does
not come from a neighboring col-
lege or university. Miss Mary
Jean Scott, who will be a lecturer
in physics, comes to us from Johns
Hopkins University: where she is
a candidate for her Ph.D.

‘Eager to incite the curiosity of
their prospective audience both on
Friday and Saturday nights, Feb-
ruary 14 and 15 respectively, the
Freshmen refuse to divulge any-
thing but a skeleton of their show’s
plot. The basic problem on which
the plot is built is “Who wrote
Shakespeare’s plays?” In the op-
ening scene, Anne, a college stu-

‘| dent who is writing an honor pa-|-

per on Shakespeare, engages in a
discussion with her professor on
this conundrum. the seventeenth century then fol-

a hall-wide basis.

7. ‘No tasks of a personal nature
may be assigned on an individual

class in any hall as a body may
assign tasks to the freshman class

8. Hazing may not begin before
8:00 a.m. and should end at 10:30

freshman may be “impudent” after
10:30 p.m. and get away with it;

from getting or keeping freshmen

classes on Friday, but there must
be no interruption of classes.

In addition, Carolyn Morant,
sophomore class. president, re-
marks, “It has come to my atten-
tion, accidentally, of course, that
some freshmen are planning to
‘hide out in the library’.. This is a
warning to those people. Any
freshman found loitering in _the

A Professor Here

To Discuss Albert Camus: Romancier

This year’s Nobel Prize winner
Albert Camus is the topic of a lec-
ture to be given by Mademoiselle
Germaine Brée, Professor of French
at New York University. The lec-
ture, which will be in French and
is sponsored by the French Club, is
entitled Albert Camus: Romancier,

and -will take place-on- Wednesday,

February 19, at 5 p.m. in the Com-

~ mon Room.

Alhtough born in the Jersey
Islands, Mademoiselle Brée obtain-
ed her degree in literature in Par-
is. In the thirties, she came to
Bryn Mawr as a professor of
French. Here she remained until
the war broke out; she then joined
the French army, and went to

North Africa. In 1945 she return-

partment at New York University.
Now Mademoiselle Brée not only
directs all graduate studies in Ro-
mance Languages, but ‘also is the
inter-collegiate head of French in
the undergraduate division. Last
year, she managed to raise suffic-
ient funds to restore an eighteenth
century house which now serves
as the French House ,of N.Y.U.
Mademoiselle Brée. has. written
several books on French literature.
One of her earlier works was on
Proust, and obtained very enthus-
iastic reviews when it was trans-
lated into English. Another book,
also published in French, concerns
the novelist Gide, and yet another,
written in English#
Modern French novel. She is now

Schrecker Relates
Historical Values

. Professor Paul Schrecker’s lec-
ture “Historians, Empiricists and
Prophets” was concerned essential-
ly with the question of the value
of history. For two thousand years,
arguments have been. raised on
this question, although at the
same time the historical disci-
plines have become increasingly
more healthy and more dogmatic.
Beginning with Parmenides and
Plato, who denied the possibility
of knowledge of things influx,
philosophers, often ignorant of his-
tory, have taken a stand against
it. Descartes, largely responsible
for anti-historical bias, claimed
that history could be neither clear
nor distinct since it relied entirely
on “old witnesses.”

The age of Descartes itself,
however, saw the rise of pacifism,
liberalism, historical criticism and
other movements which became the
food for the Enlightment. In addi-
tion some of the incentive for later
movements was provided. by the
work of the _ historian Gibbon.
Charges against the nature and
value of history, moreover, can-
not be made on. the basis of
charges against such movements
as Nazism and_ Socialism, since
these are based on _ insufficient
knowledge and have failed in their
purpose because they have at-
tempted to predict history. Fur-
thermore, anti-historical argu-
ments have usually drawn on poli-
tical and economic history where-
as, from the 18th century on, his-

from 2:00 to 3:15 p.m. The non-
profit educational audio-visual or-
ganization, Arts and Audiences,
and the Friends of Music are spon-
soring the event as an experiment.
It will be recorded and a limited
edition of discs will be made
available for the use of students
and for conservatories, colleges,
and libraries. Mr. Menuhin, who
is vice-president of Arts and Audi-
ences, feels that it is of the ut-
most importance for those inter-
ested in music to understand some
of the many problems of tech-
nique, analysis, and interpretation
which face the performer. He has
chosen Bach’s Chaconne from the
D Minor Partita to perform and
analyze.

Cards of admission may be abe
tained from the Office of Public
Information, Owing to the nature
of the workshop, the size of the
audience must. be limited. There-
fore, tickets will be issued in the
order of application unti] the limit
is reached. Since the entire pro-
gram will be recorded, it is re-
quested that those wishing to at-
tend arrive before 1:45 p.m, There
will be no admission after that
time.

There’s nothing new about cram
books, Everybody: knows that. the
works of Plato, Homer, Shakes-
peare and numberless other Greats
can be readily condensed into a
few pages. —

The educated and otherwise are
fond of simplifications, and the
harmless pastime of reducing
WORKSS has become an increasing-
ly popular amusement for greying
editors. The Reader’s Digest pro-
vides the tiring reader with handy
novel abridgements. They are to
be congratulated for taking a nec-
essary step_in the propagation of
Good Literature.

The New York Times (Jan. 12)
suggests that the best seller list is
a bogus statistic since no one
reads the longest best sellers all the
way through. The best remedy for
this situation must come from the
authors themselves. If they wrote
abridged novels in the first place
everyone would be happy. At least
for a while. But being what they
are, people would probably start
complaining and Reader’s Digest
would have to make up the New
Complete Originals.

But that’s another era’s problem.
This one has coped quite capably
with matters of reduction. Besides

novels, there is Miss Keller’s most

Love, Education
Are News Items

by Liz Rennolds

Among the exclamation points,
the rather warm letters to the ed-
itors and general views in the
newspapers from Radcliffe, Har-
vard, Swarthmore, ‘Wesleyan, and
the rest of our colleagues, we find
the same subjects being discussed:
“What is a liberal arts education
anyway?”, “What will we do with
all these people?”’, fraternity prob-
lems (hmmm ,. . that sounds fa-
milar) and civil rights stands.

But we do find the bright spots
. it must be youth... tra-la.
There’s a column in the Mount
Holyoke paper called “Who’s Whose
and What’s Knot”, corresponding
(in case you’re slow) to our rather
sparse Engagements and Marriag-
es. They even include Pinnings
. perhaps that’s cheating. - The
News likes to make it tough.

We hear via the Harvard Crim-
son that “onions will no longer be
included in, the week-end meals at
Radcliffe”, through efforts of one
“Annex Food Committee”. Crim-
son comment: “It’s about time!”

We run across a really outstand-
ing picture of some fairly “strange”
looking people in the Swarthmore
Phoenix. After a few giggles, re-
alize that they’re trying to look
funny. The caption says: “Pic-
tures above are agents of the
Truly Zorch Record Company, an
organization devoted to the uplift
of mankind through natural means

highly successful: the diplomatic experts and antagonists
have been thrown into a position something between off bal-
ance and on guard. And, of course, the announcement was
perfectly timed to throw the Baghdad Pact meeting off the
front page. Everybody’s uneasy: the Communists at the
suppression of Syrai’s strong Party; the west at the new
state’s 12-year aid agreement with Russia; Israel because
she’s the long bridge between the parts of the new and not-
so-friendly country ; the neutral and pro-Western Arab coun-
tries at the appeal of pan-Arabism to their carefully con-
trolled people; and all the rest of us, because we're afraid
that somebody’s striking a match in the tinder box.

Nassar has often intimated that pan-Arabism is a great
force in need of a hero, and the Egypt-Syria merger has been
a giant step taken toward Nassar’s being that hero. What-
ever happens, a state containing moré than half of the Arab
_ people, with more than half of their combined gross national
products, has been formed. If we may borrow the law of
gravitation from physics, the attraction of larger bodies for
smaller may very well apply here. The chances of a more
pro-western strong man’s uniting the Arabs behind him are
slimmer than ever. Pan-Atrabism, whether it likes it or not,
must rally behind Nassar or no one.

Probably it will rally behind no one. The new state is
faced with almost prohibitive economic. difficulties, even if
political ones have been solved by giving the president dicta-
torial powers. Then, the Middle East’s other strong men,
notably Saud, will fight union under Nassar tooth and nail.

Well, at least they have faith in

several of the letters: A boy from:

Picasso Exhibit Now In Philadelphia

Honors the Artist’s

by Betsy Levering

The Philadelphia Museum of Art
is an imposing edifice overlooking
practically everything worth over-
looking in the city of Philadelphia,
which isn’t much. If one can tear
oneself from the view of City Hall
and the Schuylkill, however, the
Museum usually has something to
offer, Its current offering is Pi-
casso en masse.

y Exhibit Staggering

The exhibit is staggering: the
quantity and arrangement of work,
as well as the work itself are clear-
ly designed to flatten anyone but
the boy who said he did the Louvre
in seven minutes and could have
done it in five with his track shoes
on. The exhibit proper is arranged
in two distinct series of galleries
on opposite sides of the main foy-
er. But here in the foyer hangs
the celebrated mural, Guernica,
serving the purpose, presumably,
of the passionate embraces on mov-
ie billboards. Further enticement
is provided by sketches decorating
various pillars, and long rows of
photographs of Picasso emoting,
or patting his daughter, or creat-
ing, or looking humanitarian, as
the case may be. At a strategic
table a ‘Women’s Clubber sells
guides to the exhibit, and profes-
sionals hawk various books and
prints at the museum’s stalls.

Two Galleries

each of the series of galleries. In
the first the early works are more
or less chronologically arranged,
which is fortunate, because much
of the tenuous, vacillating style
of the first room can be attributed
to youth. Any fringe bohemian
looking for “blue period” work will}
be disappointed—only two or
three paintings of this period are
in the exhibit. The same is true
of the pink period, although Les
Demoiselles d’Avignon is very
much in evidence. As everyone
knows, this painting is the big
jump toward cubism, and the ex-
hibit duly jumps.

The subsequent galleries house
numerous basically dark natures
mortes, nudes, and that consum-
er’s item, The’ Three Musicians.
In addition, interspersed are por-
traits of broad-nosed, vacant-eyed
men and women, and compositions
done with newspaper and frag-
ments of this and that. The final
galleries of paintings reverberate

Weekend Accepts
Shakesperian Cue

Two hundred and one hearts and
their escorts will be beating in
three-quarter time as Freshman
Show Weekend, February 14-16,



The highlight of the annual
weekend will be All’s Well That
Ends, the freshman class’s offer-
ing, to be presented on Friday and
Saturday nights at 8:30.

The Friday night dress rehear-
sal will be followed by a Radnor
Open House. Admission to the
party with a Russian theme will
be $.75 stag and $1.00 for each
couple. The traditional Radnor

After the show, Saturday night,
a transformed gym will be the
scene of the Love’s Labour’s Lost?
prom, The dance, which is ‘spon-
sored by the Undergrad Associa-
tion; will last from 10-2. Music for
the dance will be provided by the
Infirmary Five plus One. Octangle
and Octet will sing and Angie
Wishnack will play the piano. Ad-
mittance to the valentine evening
will be $3.00 a couple. Merion
open house follows.

Saturday morning all are in-

for the dance. Donuts and cider
will be served to the helpers.
For those able to continue the
whirl through Sunday afternoon,
there will be an Open House’ in

Seventy-Fifth Year

with raw color, and the lolling eyes
and distorted anatomies almost
testify to the existence of personal
devils.

Series two includes several gal-
leries of later paintings, drawings,
sculpture (as did the first series,
but too centrally located to be no-
ticed by the circumambulators),
ceramics and a series called “Picas-
so Paints A Picture”. This last,
the least important, has a high
amusement quotient, as it ig the
focus of ecstatic flocking of finger-
ing, poking, scrutinizing, criticiz-
ing bevies of Monday-Afternoon-
Art-Club-women. Whatever vio-
lence, if any, Picasso does with
his paintings, he completely vindi-
cates himself with his drawings
and ceramics. Both are as inno-
cently amusing as some primitive
paradise visited occasionally by a
wise and teasing Pan.

Editor Advocates
Humor In Fiction

Interested. students heard Miss
‘Rachel MacKenzie, of the fiction
editorial staff of the New Yorker
magazine, . discuss . opportunities
for young writers, in the magazine
field, in the Common Room on
February 6,

Miss MacKenzie used the New
Yorker as her particular example
of editorial method in choosing
stories and verse. She stressed the
point that new blood is what. the
publishing business needs and
wants. Recently there have been
fewer short stories of good qual-
ity submitted than there have
been worthwhile poems; there also
has been a general scantiness of
humorous material. She _ stated
that anyone with a talent for
writing in satiric or other forms
of humor should submit her work
to a suitable publication.

After delivering the warning
not to plan to make a living at
writing, Miss MacKenzie spoke of
the type of material in which the
New Yorker is interested. Fresh-
ness, the ability to create an illu-
sion; communication of emotion;
and vitality are important traits
of such work. The ability to por-
tray your own voice or responses
and place a “personal tone” in
your writing in her estimation is
what makes a “good or real writ-
er.”

She concluded by: listing the
magazine jobs for which unsea-
soned writers could qualify. As far
as the New Yorker is concerned
the only such jobs are secretarial
or reportorial.

Maids and Porters
Hold Fiesta Dance

The annual Maids and. Porters
Dance was held in the gym on
Saturday, the eighth of. February.
About three hundred people at-
tended the affair, which lasted
from ten until two.

The decofations committee was
headed by Nancy Cline. They
chose a fiesta as their theme and
accordingly transformed the gym
by means of red and black crépe
streamers, which fluttered from
the ceiling, and a black chicken
wire pinata filled with red bal-
loons, fans and gold flowers. Music

Also responsible for the success
of the evening were Lyn. Kuper,

retary of ‘the Maids and Porters
Committe; Sandy Grant, Presi-
dent of League; Dodie Stimpson,
President of Undergrad, and Faith

In addition to the maids ‘and

SPCA: Picks
Canine Bach,
Jambor Lover

by Freddy Koller

The newest member of the Bryn
Mawr “Hall of Fame” is Cinder-
ella, an 18-month old part beagle,
German shepherd, fox terrier, and
greyhound, belonging to Mme, Agi
Jambor. Cinderella was named
“Dog of the Year’ by the Society
for Prevention of Cruelty to Ani-
mals.

Intelligent and Musical

‘Cinderella, Mme. Jambor reveal-
ed, was chosen for this honor
mainly because of her intelligence.
Cinderella, probably the most lit-
erate dog on campus, attends
Mme. Jambor’s lectures at both
Bryn Mawr and Goucher. Her
tastes in music ‘closely resemble
Mme. Jambor’s, for Cinderella
hates Rachmanioff, loves Bach,
and sleeps through Handel.

Having nog only intelligence,
Cinderella also -has many boy-
friends,. according to Mme.
Jambor, who quipped, “she has
much more sex appeal than her
momma!”

From SPCA

Mme. Jambor explained that a
few months ago when she was
looking for a dog she went to

the SPCA. After looking at many.

dogs, she was attracted by one
particular dog—Cinderella. As for
Cinderella’s life now, Mme, Jam-
bor remarked, “Her life is very
similar to mine.”

In the future, Mme. Jambor
plans to write a book about
Cinderella and reveal her past.
The SPCA, like regular adoption
agencies, Mme. Jambor explained,
refuses to say anything about the
dog’s past or parents when he is
adopted; however, Mme. Jambor
hopes to discover something about
Cinderella’s past. Mme. Jambor
also expects to make some movies
for the SPCA as a plea for funds.

The Golden. Age



1957 Grads Enter
Varied Vocations

Of the members of the Class of
1957 at Bryn Mawr College, 32 are
teaching or preparing to teach.
This is an increase of 60 per cent
over the number in the previous
year who chose to enter this pro-
fession after graduation, Nine of
this year’s group are enrolled in
teaching programs for a Master
of Arts degree in education at

Harvard and Yale Universities.
Others in education programs are
at Columbia University, Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh, Wesleyan Uni-
versity, Goucher College and the
Bank Street College of Education.
Those already teaching are to be
found principally in elementary
schools, with three graduates on
the staffs of metropolitan public
school systems.

Of the 148 young women who
received A.B. degrees last June at
Bryn Mawr, 51 per cent are work-
ing full time and 37 per cent are
in graduate schools or taking: fur-
ther training’ while working as
teaching or research assistants. Of
the total group, 36 per cent are
married, and of these, two-thirds
are working and studying, while
the remainder are at home.

Among those taking jobs in the
scientific field is a physics major
now working in a radiation labor-
atory in the Far West. Nine other
science majors are in industrial
research.

Other jobs which the 1957 A.B.
holds are~ in governmental re-
search, publishing, insurance,
banking and retailing.

Graduate schools both here and
abroad are widely represented
among the group taking further
training. Two Fulbright scholars
are in the group—one at the Uni-
versity of London and the other
at the University of Vienna. A
Marshall Fellow, who was an Eng-
lish major, is studying at Cam-
bridge University in England. Two
graduates, one a biology major
and the other a chemistry major,
are in médical schools in this

First Campus Concert Triumphs; Arias,

Chamber Music Leave Public Excited

by Anne Farlow

On Sunday afternoon the Music
Department presented the first in
a series of chamber music pro-
grams. There has long been a
need for this kind of performing
on campus, as was indileated by
both the musicians and the large,
respective audience. The perform-
ers, on the whole, presented the
program with a high standard of
technical proficiency, and were well
assisted by certain headwagging,
foot-tapping, knitting members of
an enthusiastic audience.

The first half of the program
was slightly affected by nervous-
ness, although it isn’t fair to cri-
ticize the players for this when
they have had little opportunity
to perform there. Edie McKeon
opened the’ program, playing the
Bach Prelude and Fugue in E
Minor for Organ. She ably repre-
sented Mr. Goodale’s many organ
students, although her playing
somewhat lacked the “weight”
which is inherent in this aspect
of Bach’s style. The Andante
movement from a Sonata for Flute
and Piano by Bach, played by

was next. The tempo seemed a
bit fast for Ann’s familiarity with
the music. She was too dependent
on her music to give relaxed
haan and dynamics, although



isch em certainly not the case

placa

Ann Lackritz and Mme. Jambor,



‘in Mozart acacia for flute and

strings at the end of'the program.

Following the Bach Sonata were
two arias sung by Marian Willner.
The music and voice were both
pleasing, although neither singer
or accompanist seemed to have
much concept of the emotional] as-
pects of either aria.

Marcia Leigh, Robert Martin,
and Mme. Jambor then played the
Allegro of the B-flat trio (op. 97)
by Beethoven. This movement was
characterized by , assurance and
ease which allowed._for_greater
phrasing ,and dynamic variety
than was heard in the first part
of the program. The Mozart flute
quartet which followed and ended
the program also had this laudable
quality. The performers’ were
thoroughly in*command of them-
selves and the music, and played
with ease, good balance, and very
much in the transparent vein of
the music.

This year has seen a stavitine
amount of active music at Bryn
Mawr which now fills the even
greater vacuum that existed in
years past. Sunday’s concert was
proof enough that, although it is
difficult to stir Bryn Mawrters
from .their “purely” intellectual
interests, the results are more
than worth..the effort. Three
cheers foir both organizers and
organized!





of Hell Week-

Pitiful Peacocks and Retribution

by Miriam Beames

Way back in the good old days,
when everybody graduated summa
and no men were allowed on cam-
pus, Hell Week .. . well, let’s put
it this way—things have changed.

People don’t fight on the rafters
above Goodhart stage any more,
and a broken nose hasn’t been re-

ported as a Hell Week casualty
for a long time. In fact, the. sit-
uation (which had started as a
mere heckling) eventually got
slightly out of hand, until juniors
abetted freshmen against sopho-
mores, and desperadoes charged
through Goodhart’s staid auditor-
ium, to the consternation of col-
lege authorities and the crowding
of the Infirmary.

Sometime just before the war
these glorious activities and throb-
bing imbroglios of an antediluvian
age came to an end; gradually the
contemporary hall Hell Week sys-
tem grew up to replace it, although
it still possessed some of the more
exotic features which hadn’t ended
with the fighting. A few historical
examples give easy proof of this.

A professor once was appalled
when a girl dressed as a snake
writhed behind him during a lec-
ture, and then there was the year
when the sophomores. had a loud
speaker in Taylor to heckle the cam-
pus en masse. They had permission
as long as it wasn’t heard farther
than Pembroke, -but Miss Howe
received a phone call from Faculty
Row in.the middle of the night
complaining that the whole street
was being kept awake by the noise.

That was also the year of the pea-
cock, and the year Life reported on
Freshman Show. It seems the un-
fortunate peacock (who was smug-
gled into Taylor Tower via a gar-
bage truck) had a shattered ner-
vous system, and screamed for the
entire twenty-four hours of his
stay. The sleepy freshmen guard-
ed the peacock and kept a record
player going to drown the noise,
if not to soothe the bird, Their
lunch was sent up on a string-and-
basket system, while a Life pho-
tographer, escorted by three fresh-
men, ran around taking —photo-
graphs all night and making ob-
vious comments about the nature
of the bird.

Speaking of animals, it is report-
ed that the animal of ’51, a goat,
died the night before the show
(probably of nervous prostration),
and ’58’s seal had to be removed
from the Rockefeller warden’s
bathtub. (it bit her). Then, of
course, there was the year when
Dr. Herben turned out to be the
animal, dressed in faultless evening
attire, while rumors had swept the
campus explaining his sudden move
to the Deanery.

It seems, too, that the activities
once surrounding the last day of
classes, when freshmen retaliated
on upperclassmen (one anonymous
authority distinctly remembers put-
ting Limburger chéese in a sen-
ior’s hairbrush, tying bells to the
springs of a bed, and stringing up-
perclassmen’s toothbrushes in the
showcase), were incorporated into
Hell Week.

Since these rousing times, Hell
Week has deteriorated into a-mere
three days, -but-no one has express-
ed any regrets.

Interfaith Association Presents.

By Susie Jones

The Interfaith mid-week speak-
er next Tuesday at 8:30 P.M. will
be the Rev. Donald L. Benedict
of Inter-City Protestant Parish,
Cleveland. Mr, Benedict was one
of the founders of East Harlem
Protestant Parish in New York, the
first of a group of similar efforts
in various cities to provide a
specialized inter --denominational

ministry to urban slum areas. The
members of the “Group Minstry”
are ministers, teachers, social
workers, medical people and
others committed to work, in a
Christian context, among the peo-
ple of the “inner-city’’—the crowd-
ed pockets of run-down housing
in the warehouse, dock, and in-
dustrial centers of the city.
They deal with the effects of
wholesale shifts of population,
such as those of the poor white
people and Negroes from the Deep
South and the Puerto Ricans, with
the bums and failures who filter
down to the district of bars and
flop-houses, with criminals, the
uninstitutionalized insane, alcohol-
ies, narcotics addicts, and with
the special problems of children
and teen-agers growing up in such
an environment. The Group Min-
istry works with organized social
agencies where ‘they are avail-
able, gets them established where
they are needed, and stands in for

The churches and centers are
oriented’ to their own geographical
area, in which the members of
the Group Ministry and their fam-
ilies live. They are concerned to
cut through the de-personalization
of modern life and seek out as
persons those in trouble and in
need. Their activities are as var-
ied as the communities they serve:

Minister of Inner-City Darishes

They work with groups of chil-
dren, teen-agers, and adults. They
may organize clean-up programs
and rat-control or house the local
Aleoholics Anonymous. They have
had some’ notable successes in
waking up city officials to poor
enforcement of housing codes and
eases of police brutality. In. New
York a Parish group presented a
play, Dope, written by a staff-
member, at vacant lots on five
different nights. It was. watched
from streets, windows, and fire-

escapes, and nearly every one of

150 teen-aged drug addicts who
came to the ministers in the next
two and a half years came be-
cause they had seen that play and
its non-judging treatment of the
problem. Mr. Benedict has had a
wide experience of all types of
parish work, and particularly with
psychologically-rooted alcoholism,
cases which few psychiatrists will
touch and city hospitals are too
crowded to handle.

College juniors and seniors and
graduate and seminary students
have an opportunity to work in
the, Cleveland parish in the sum-
mer work-camps. Summer work-
ers sit in on staff meetings and
attend a program of lectures to
acquaint them with the parish and
the inner-city. Half the workers
do unskilled labor in the type: of
jobs where inner-city people work
and help run evening groups and
projects. The other half of the
group staffs the day-time summer
activities of the parish. Mr. Bene-
dict will be at the Deanery from
9 to 12 Wednesday morning to
answer questions about the sum-
mer work camp.

Alliance Debates
Issues In Report

Conferences have been an im-
portant part of the Alliance pro-
gram this year. Martha Bridge,
Judy Minkin, Bobbie Hood, and
Hanna Woods visited Swarthmore
on Feb. 8 to discuss “Integration
in the North’. Lauren Jackson
would like anyone interested in at-

tending the IRC’s Model State De-
partment Conference in Washing-
ton from March 380 to April 2 to
speak to her about it. Other con-
ferences open to Bryn Mawr stu-
dents are at Mt: Holyoke on Feb.
14 and 15, Barnard on “March 8, or
Dartmouth on April 18 and 19.
Those interested should soon speak
to Martha Bridge.

Conference Cancelled

The Alliance regrets to announce
that its own March Conference on
“The Role of Woman in Public
Life” has been cancelled. One of
the key speakers was unable to
come, Jn late March, however,
Irving Howe of Dissent will speak
here on “American. Political At-
titudes as They Affect American
Literature”.

Board Discussion

The Alliance Board meeting on
February 5 witnessed a lively dis-
cussion of the theme that Amer-
ica has no man, no party, and no
policy capable of leadership in the
present crisis. The origin of the
discussion was a secret Washing-
ton report on government sent to
the Alliance by Mr. Rosenblatt.
Many board\ members temporarily
forgot non-partisan appearances
to debate heatedly the Republican
and Democratic issues in the report.
Of course, no solution was reached.

other groups, a desire for increas-
ing freedom to match increasing
age and a reluctance to review
facts.

In the shadow of these obser-
vations, Mrs. Marshall noted cer-
tain changes “small in them-
selves” which have been under
recent consideration: the cut sys-
tem, paper extension policy, the
exam schedule and a “complex
variety of social reforms.”

Change must be measured, she
added by several “yardsticks,” the
first being its effect on the main
purpose of Bryn Mawr — educa-
tion. Positive improvement is a
fundamental consideration. Then
too change must be measured in
terms of expense — expense in
teaching time which might affect
the college’s particular ability to
maintain a luxurious teaching sys-
tem where 85% of classes have
15 or fewer students, and expense
in terms of money. Self-discipline
is an important aspect of training
—the ability to begin and end on
time and to review a certain body
of knowledge to be.tested at a cer-
tain date,

And yet if this seems grim
there was a day when students
could not eat at the Inn without
their brothers’ chaperonage and
had to return from Philadelphia
on the 7:30 train except on Sun-
days when they might take the
8:15.

Syme Discusses Tacitus’ Spirit

In Annual Lily R.

Professor Ronald Syme gave. the
annual Lily Ross Taylor. lecture on
Friday.on “How Tacitus, Wrote
the First Six Books “of the An-
nals”. The topic ‘presented Pro-
fessor Syme with a twofold prob-
lem: he had to study both the
interest of the writer and the evi-

dence or material that the writer
might employ. In some respects
Professor Syme proceeded in very
much the same manner as Tacitus
himself might have proceeded if he
were attempting to revise his work
and to determine what conclusions
his writing could suggest.
Writer’s Spirit Important

In a study of this sort the spirit
of the writer and in particular his
initial spirit is quite important.
Accordingly no student of Tacitus
could overlook the historian’s early
training in oratory nor fail to ap-
preciate itS influence throughout
his work. Tacitus, moreover, was
not afraid of changing his views in
the course of his writing. In de-
scribing the reign of Tiberius he
‘came across material from the
Augustan period; contrary to his
original’ intention he discovered
that he had not given an adequate
study of that reign and had to
return to it. Perhaps Tacitus him-
self had become aware of the con-

First of all, what does an Applied Science Representa-
tive do? In John Jackson’s. own words, “I work
constantly with key executives of the many and varied
customers served by IBM in the territory for which I
am responsible, advising them on the use of their
electronic data processing machines. I consult with
these customers, analyze their scientific and technical
problems for solution with IBM machines. Occasion-
ally, I write papers and give talks and demonstrations
on electronic computing. Allin all, it’s pretty fascinating

.’’ In other words, he is a full-fledged computing

expert, a consultant. .

. and a very important person

in this coming age of automation through electronics.

with this company’s.own employees, training-them in-
the use of IBM equipment. He remains in touch with

this customer to assist with new studies and problems

as they develop.

Anew field for the mathematician—IBM computers

Why did John Jackson decide to join IBM? Today,
he is exercising his mathematical know-how in a field
that was practically unheard of ten years ago. Even
now, this kind of work may-be news to you. It was to
him a few years back when he was an undergraduate —

Taylor Lecture

tinuity of history and of the diffi-
culty of studying isolated periods.
Sources for Tiberius

Professor Syme’s comments on
the controversial study of Tiberius
were confined to the problem of
sources. In the course of his writ-
ing the historian had recognized
the need for additional references
and found that he hadn’t taken suf-
ficient account of the personal life
and habits of the emperor. This
brings us to one of the essential
points of the lecture. Professor
Syme emphasized that a basis of
Tacitus’ revision and reference to
varied sources was his use of con-
temporary material. While he was
acustomed to suspect such data of
bias, he was willing. to investigate
the leads that it might contain.

Professor Syme is Camden pro-
fessor of Ancient History at Ox-
ford University and a noted auth-
ority on Tacitus. He has been de-
scribed as the most Tacitian of
modern historians.

Schrecker Lecture

Continued from Page 1

tory itself has included science,
religion, the arts, etc.
Politics, law, religion—in fact,

whatever can rightly be termed

an object of history—demand both
the historical and systematic ap-
proach. Although there is no
noticeable conflict between these
, the treatment of the
n theorem, for ex-
by an historian and by a
tician indicates the dif-
ferent problems with which each
is dealing. The historian, in con-
trast to the mathematician, is not
concerned with the proof of the
theorems but rather with their
place and relation to other events,
On the other hand, the works of
Ptolemy and similar relics. in the
history of science are out of place
in systematic science.

According ot Mr. Schrecker, the
problem is that, in terms of the
systematic method, the historical
and systematic aproaches stand
opposed. The hypothesis which he
offers to explain the conflict is
that history represents a particu-
lar type of material that does not
. lend itself to the systematic treat-
ment. The only way in which the
two methods can, as it were, ‘‘co-
operate” is if one serves as the
raw material to be formed into a
whole or category by the other.

The historian remains _indiffer-
ent to the systematic method since
it is sufficient for him that events
have been determined—that they
have been granted historical actu-
ality. On the other hand, the sci-
entist too often forgets that while
his system does form a totality,
everything is dependent on history
and subject to what the historical
method does to it—i.e. demotes or
conditions it.

The theory of historical method
then presents the question of his-
torical selection. Usually the
selective principle considers those
things that represents change or
have exerted influence. The his-
torian, in pursuing his specific in-
terests,, proceeds by tracing back
from a particular epoch the devi-
ous paths and windings which his
object has taken. This, however,
represents only the surface, for







on a higher level,.the selection is
made by history itself. The sci-
entist, for instance, presents the
results of elimination in his work,
which is a sort of filter. through
which the works of. his predeces-
sors pass and which integrates the
knowledge in a system. Thus the
history of science is a gradual
accumulation that an historian ar-
ticulates, but th escientist must
prepare.

The problem chiefly discussad
after the lecture was the ques-
tion of the historian’s ability to
predict the future. Professor
Schrecker’s own answer to this
was decidedly negative. Although
the historian does know more
about the (past than any other
scholar and thus is in a better
position to offer “hunches” on the
basis of insight gained through
his studies, he still cannot predict
history, since that is dependent on
the human element which is un-
predictable.

music teaching was instituted at
Bryn Mawr College two years
ago, when a new organization, the
Friends of Music, was founded
for the purpose of bringing top
quality artistic ensembles to the
campus. Under its auspices, , pro-
grams including a series of work-
shops and a formal concert have
been given by such performers as
Mme. Agi Jambor, conductor
Erich Leinsdorf, the Julliard
Quartet with harpist Edna Phil-
lips, the New York Woodwind
Quintet, and the. Trio Concert-
ante.

Mr. Menuhin, perhaps. more
than any other master musician to-
day, has a deep sense of his res-
ponsibility in influencing the cul-
ture of his era. He is especially
aware of the two-way nature of
the ideal artist-audience relation-
ship and the need for contact be-
tween the musician and young
people. He feels that the inform-
ality and intimacy of the work-
shop situation greatly increases
the freedom and thereby the suc-
cess of communication between the
artist and his audience,

Willy Brandt Mayor of West Berlin
Hopes To Preserve Free Education

Dspite oppression in East Ger-
many and problems of reunifica-
tion, the. outlook on the student
level for Berlin and Western Ger-
many hopeful, _according to
Willy Brandt, Governing Mayor of
West Berlin. Mayor Brandt spoke

last Saturday afternoon at a tea
given by Miss, McBride, for which
he was guest of honor. Earlier in
the day he had been awarded an
honorary degree at the University
of Pennsylvania.

A group of college officials, fac-
ulty’ and ‘students heard Mayor
Brandt discuss the efforts his
government was making to pre-
serve their ideal of free education.
The Free Universities of Berlin,
of which there are two, are open
to students from the East German
sector, and indeed one third of
their student body is drawn from
this area, Other schools, on a pre-
university level, are also endea-
voring to maintain. non- -commun-
ist teaching and are succeeding
well.

Recent events in Poland and
Hungary proved, in Mayor Brandt’,
opinion, that the human mind can-
not be conditioned to the loss of
freedom. Signs of resistance and
rebellion apepar constantly among
the students, not always in the
manner that: one might expect,

is



sometimes gilently (as black suits
and ties worn during the Hungar-
ian revolution), or as articles in
student papers and journals (not
always practical, but still ener-
getic and encouraging).

Changes will have to be made
and reconciled between East and
West, Mayor Brandt added, as he
had also done in his speech on
arrival in this country a few days
earlier. New questions mmugt be
answered but the government of
free Germany feels that the pre-
servation of free education may
be one way to the answer.

Mayor Brandt was particularly
interested in Bryn Mawr because
the state department is planning
to endow a small college in the
western sector of Berlin. His visit
to this country was scheduled to
last twelve days.
