Hannah Arendt Lectures

To discuss so broad a topic as
Politics and Freedom in one lecture,
said Dr. Hannah Arendt in begin-
ning the 1902 Lecture delivered
Monday afternoon in the Common
Room, is possible only because even
a.series of lectures would prove in-
adequate for the task.

Dr, Arendt, currently a professor
at Princeton University and the
author of “Origins of Totalitarian-
ism” and “The Human Condition,”
has achieved considerable renown
for her work in the field of political
science,

The freedom which Dr. Arendt
discusses is not inner freedom; it
is, rather, the free-man’s status, the
condition of liberty from which man
derived the concept, inner freedom.
“This freedom,” says Dr. Arendt,”
is related to politics like two sides
of the same nickel.’

Nevertheless, the presence of
politics in a state does not guaran-
tee freedom; on the contrary, what
is known of totalitarianism may
cause man to consider politics in-
compatible with freedom. While
17th and 18th century philosophers
tended to associate politics with the



Panel to Discuss
Poetry and Poets

Claude Vigée, chairman of the
Department of European Language
and Literature at Brandeis Univer-
sity, will visit ‘Bryn Mawr on Mon-
day, February 16, participating in
@ panel discussion of Miss Gilman’s
book— “The Idea of Poetry in
France”— in the afternoon, and

then in the evening giving a lecture,

on “Three French Poets of Today.”

M. Vigée, born in Alsace, is con-
sidered as one of the most interest-
ing younger poets in France. To
his activities as poet and teacher
he adds others as translator of
poetry, critic and essayist. He has
written two books of poetry—“La
Lute avec L’Ange” and “La Corne
du Grand Pardon,” and not long
ago published another book of
poetry and essays, in the form of a
journal. M. Maurin remarked of

this book that it is “both poetic and.

prose, but never prosaic.”
The panel discussion of “The

—Jdea-of-Poetry_in France” will be

held at 4:30 in the Common Room.

This tradition of supposing free-
dom to be freedom from politics
began with Plato and Aristotle and
continued throughout the Christian
Era. Despite this universality, how-

Lewis Discusses

Art And Religion

Hywel D. Lewis, Visiting Pro-
fessor of Philosophy, delivered the
De Lagua Lecture in Philosophy
last night. His topic, based on a
section from a forthcoming book,
was “Imagination in Art and Re-
ligion.”

The: artist must find ‘something
to say\in a novel manner, If he
loses his~—novelness, he loses his
art, Mr. Lewis pointed out. The
esence lies in the new experience
of things*through symbolic repre-
sentation. The symbols do not
come out of the void, but out of
one another.

Art requires that the artist’s
past live in the present. It should
be absorbed in his work, but not].
be easily detected. The true artist
will skillfully exploit his artistic
heritage.

Art begins with the transmuta-
tion of the old into the new. Thug
the artist requires artistic conven-
tions within which to create, so
that his work can be understood
as art. One of the defects of med-
ern art may be traced to this
source, Modern artists feel the
need to say new things in new
ways. They try to bring “in-

spirations out of the void without.

ancestry or affiliation.” An absence

of convention leaves only banality. |

Mr. Lewis found this most preval-
ent in novels and plays rather
than other art forms.

‘Creative work in its newness
may not be understood because of
the lack of convention to aid in
the comprehension of it. The most
important concept is that new art]

must “be parasitic on the old,”|

Miss Mary Hamilton Swindler,
Professor Emeritus of Classical
Archaeology, and Mr. Richmond
Lattimore, Professor of Greek, are
the recipients of two of ten prizes
awarded nationally by the Ameri-
can Council of Learned Societies.
The prizes, each bearing a stipend
of $10,000, are presented to emin-
ent scholars in the various fields
of the humanities.

Miss Siwindler taught at Bryn
Mawr from 1912 to 1949. In 1951
she won the American Association
of University Women Award for
her contributions in research and
teaching in the field of classical
archaeology.

Mr. Lattimore, noted for his
poetry and translations, has ‘been
teaching at Bryn Mawr since 1935.
In 1958 he received an honorary
degree of Doctor of Laws. from
Dartmouth College.

The Council announced these
awards this. month at its fortieth
annual meeting in Rochester, New
York. The prizes were based on
outstanding past achievement and
carry no responsibilities or restric-
tions. The ACLS, a_ non-profit
federation of twenty-nine socie-
ties in. the humanities and social
sciences, presented these prizes
for the first time last year.

It takes artists of great maturity
to interpret ballets such as these.
If the dancer’s understanding is not
deep and intense, it cannot be com-
municated to the audience in suffi-
cient measure to make the ballet
comprehensible; for movement
without the dancer’s idiosyncrasy
often means neither one thing nor

artistic organism that is in excit-
ingly close touch with today. To
watch a performance is not to be
taken away into fairyland, but to
have one’s sense of being alive
quickened and heightened, and to
have one’s fund of experience aug-
mented. The repertoire’ includes



ful ballets in the repertoire the im-
pression of order and. spareness
which seems to constitute the mod-
ern idea of beauty. The music is
often hollow, using only the bare

A Reinforced

Endorsement

~

It must be understood at the outset that not one of the
colleges, including Bryn Mawr, which have protested the so-
called “Mundt amendment” to the National Defense Educa-
tion Act, has objected to the oath of allegiance required by
that amendment. To require such an oath is presumably the

perogative of government.

The controversial provision of

the amendment is that which makes prerequisite to receiving
funds the filing of an affidavit by a student to the effect that
“he does not believe in, and is not a member of and does not
support any organization that believes in or teaches the over-
throw of the United States Government by force or violence
or by any illegal or unconstitutional methods”.

This disclaimer affidavit is

a most amazing piece of work.

It proposes to require from a seventeen-year-old student a
legally binding.assurance that any and all organizations he
may believe in (whatever that means), belong to or support

are not subversive.

No list or subversive organizations is
given or referred to in the Act.

If the provision were en-

forced any dispute would resolve itself into a question of who
determines whether an organization is subversive or not;
the usual test is the famous Attorney General’s List, which
is compiled from organizations mentioned in security hear-
ings, or, in other words, from hearsay evidence.

If the government of the United States has the constitu-
tional or statutory right to control what a person believes,
we are not aware of it. Paradoxically, because the colleges
and universities are responsible for the administration of the
oath and affidavit, those very institutions which most en-
courage freedom of thought find themselves accountable for
the beliefs of their students: so closely bound are academic

freedom and civil liberty.

__ We might add that the affidavit attached to this Act in
aid of students, while no such requirement is attached to old
age, farm or other benefits, implies that students are a par-

ticularly suspect group.

The College, in making a decision on participating in the
loan program under these conditions, is in a doubly difficult
position: first, benefits to students must be reconciled with
principle; secondly, the position of the College must not im-
pute to members of the faculty by implication any beliefs
which they do not hold. As we understand it, the decision
of the Board of Directors to deny to students this federal aid
was made partially because one-ninth of the sum would be
provided by Bryn Mawr as well as on the fact that Bryn
Mawr would be responsible for administration of the oath
and affidavit; on principle, College monies would not be used
to suport a disclaimer affidavit. We fully endorse this po-

sition.

~On the other hand, we feel that the issues involved here |

are fundamental to our much-touted liberties under the Bill
of Rights, and necessarily to academic freedom as well. The
Mundt ‘amendment seems another instance of the govern-
ment by peril, real or supposed, which became critical in the
McCarthy era and survives in such institutions as the loy-
alty oath required in order to obtain a passport and security
clearance requisite for employment at the United Nations.
For these reasons we do not think that the opposition has
been strong enough or sufficiently ‘explicit, although we can-
not ask that the College itself make statements contrary to
the convictions of a single faculty member. Es

ballets by Balanchine; Robbins, Bol-
ender and Culberg to music by
Stravinsky, Bartok, Tschaikowsky
arid Bach. Many of the ballets are
danced in practice costume on bare
stage, so that there is nothing to
concentrate on but. movement and
music. Instead of relying on music
that simply provides rhythm and
cadence, Balanchine and the other
choreographers have used as dance
scores music which is great in its
own right, and have thus been able
to create works often more excit-
ing than either movement or music
could be alone.

One gets from the most success-

bones of chords, allowing the
listener’s own ear to create a great
deal of what is heard; the move-
ment is an--economy of motion
which proportionately heightens the
richness of each small gesture. Yet
this idea of beauty does not do for
new ballets on old themes, such as
Balanchine’s Firebird and Swan
Lake: the spareness of his idea has
left the old ballets bereft of their
richness, unfulfilled and gaunt. The
ballets conceived and created in our
own time, however, all pertain to
today’s artistic needs in a most sat-
isfying and exciting way.

Most of the ballets are concerned

another to the spectator. In the
hands of some dancers a ballet may
seem like an idea that did not quite
come off; but danced by others it .
may be recognized as one of a
choreographer’s best works. Often
a ballet seems to get better and
better the more it is danced, as
more and more is discovered about
it.

It is upon the ballerinas of the
New York City Ballet that most of
the responsibility for interpretation

falls. In classical ballet the male

Editorial Footnotes

International — An event, which
may well turn out to have more
historical significance than the see-
saw thrusts and counterthrusts of
the Cold War, occurred in late
January. This event, the announce-
ment by Pope John gXIII of plans
for the celebration of an Ecumeni-
cal Council of the Christian Church,
received surprisingly little notice
in the press, Yet such a Council,
were it held, would represent a
modern continuation of an appar-
ently moribund Christian tradition
and at the same time could be the
latest and longest step toward the
synthetic unity which the schis-
matic Christian Church now seems
to be seeking.

The tradition of ecumenical coun-
cils began with the famous Council
of Nicaea in A.D. 825 and continued
thorugh eighteen sych councils
down. to the Council of the Vatican
in 1869-70. The fixing of Church
dogma has been the purpose of
these gatherings of the leaders of
the Church; thus the last Council
proclaimed the infallibility of the
Pope. The Councils were meant to
Lencompass the “whole inhabited
world,” and by custom their. de-
cisions were binding on all Catho-

lics. It is not to be presumed, how-
ever, that the proposed council
would necessarily follows this pat-
tern.

(The Vatican release would seem
to indicate that the first business of
a Council would be the problem of
the disunity of the Christian
Church. Major lines of division sep-
arate the Roman Catholic, the

branches of Christianity. Evidently,

Catholic and Orthodox Churches,

‘Perhaps the most curious’ pop-
ular periodical on the stands to-
day is the Saturday Review. Only
tr yto place it among its fellows
and you will see what I mean: it
has points of contact with period-
icals as diverse as the New York
Times Book Review, Time, Harpers,
Scientific American and the Pro-
gressive, yet is drastically unlike
all of these. Once an adequate

of. reviews of books and the lively

word “Literature” from its title
and has plunged into Science,
Travel, Politics, Chess, Photog-

omics, without relinquishing its old
functions nor neglecting to fan
the poetic controversy at inter-
vals,

However, it is not this amazing
vigor and heterogenity of interests
which finally distimguishes the
Saturday Review. It is rather set
apart from every other sophisti-
cated periodical by a crusading
spirit.

The distinguishing characteris-
tics of this “crusading. spirit” are
two: first, that its objects are
broadly, humanitarian and not nec-

Resurgent Morality and the “Saturday
Review”

its predominant tone is set by a
stron gsecular morality, By the
first I mean that, unlike Time,
whose business is to get Republi-
cans elected, or the publications
of the White Citizens Council, the

Saturday Review is not the organ
of a cause. Nor is it the organ of
either the cluster of causes around
the word “liberal” of the word
“eonservative”. The incidents and
situations upon which it seizes for
comment or actiom are rather il-
lustrations of an attitude it would
promulgate than ends in them-
selves. By the second I mean that
the frame of reference in which.
the editorial Saturday Review op-
erates is not say, the maintenance
of Western supremacy or the pres-
ervation of civil liberties, ‘but an
Eighteenth Century morality. This
morality incorporates a Supreme
Being, who is asumed but kept
pretty well out of the picture, and
natural law ideas of the intrinsic
dignity and worth of human life.
In this framework, then, the
Saturday Review has taken some
interesting positions and surpris-
ing actions. It has, for instance,
engaged in humanitarian projects
pure and simple. Several years
ago, the magazine labored to bring

of it,

Miss Suetsugu points out that
Yeats’ early plays, grounded in
the Irish nationalistic movement,
did not combine lyricism satisfac-
torily with theatrical. effects, Often
they are dramatic poems, without
enough action to make them effect-
ive on the stage. Yeats realized
this, and made constant experi-
mental attempts at improvement.
Some of his earlier plays he re-,
wrote for stage production, with
varying degrees of success.

He also tried changing his sub-
ject matter, relying more heavily
on comedy and folklore; and in
some plays disregarded theatrical
effect entirely in an attempt to
express his principles and ideas
directly. In this way, even before
his acquaintance with Noh-drama, ©
Yeats was developing his own
somewhat similar forms.

Malin Lectures On Free Speech:

In a lecture sponsored by Dr
Roger Wells, Chairman of the
Political Science department,
Patrick Murphy Malin, Executive
Director of the |American Civil
Liberties Union, spoke on “The
Next Twenty-Five Years of Free
Speech, .Diie |Process and Equal
Protection Under the Law.”

The freedom of speech which
concerned Mr. Malin was the kind
of freedom mentioned in the Con-
stitution. "The main problem that
he foresees for the future is getting

‘correct and uncensored information

to the mass media. He stressed the
importance of the newspapers’ giv-
ing fairly complete information
from the government agencies to
the people, while still permitting
those agencies to function with a
certain amount .of privacy.

Radio, TV Problems

Mr. Malin also expressed concern
about the fact that neither radio
nor television was using its facili-
ties to the greatest advantage. He
does not believe that the contro-
versial problems of the day are be-
ing presented to the voters. The
partisanship of radio and television
stations which can be ‘seen during
a political campaign emphasizes the
difficulty of. running a privately
owned industry and still communi-
cating current ideas to the people
without bias.

Mr. Malin predicted a .more
severe testing of religious tolera-
tion to come in the next twenty-five
years and, more, important, the
effect of this on the educational
process. The number of those who
have religious affiliations has risen
and the conflict among the different
churches about religion in schools
is becoming more pronounced. Be-
zause religion is treated in the Con-
stitution as a private exercise of
judgment this problem will have to
be dealt with by the people and
will be more difficult to solve.

“Due Process” Discussed

In regard to “due process,” which
Mr. Malin defined as the formal
channels of freedom which are set
down in advance and regularly
used, the main problem will be the
intervention into the privacy of
people of instruments of govern-
ment attempting to carry out their

duties. Mr. Malin mentioned the

fact that what he called “enabling
acts” have given the federal agen-

cies increasing power of investiga-_

tion. Wiretapping and the treat-
ment of juvenile delinquents and
the mentally ill were cited as being
the primary manifestations of the
deprivation of due process of law.

The main source of the problem
of equal protection under the law,
which was defined as equal only
before the law and not in character
or personality, comes from the
treatment of alien groups, Ameri-
can Indians, and Negroes. Although
the most recent emphasis has been
on the judicial decisions about
school desegregation, other groups

Annual Danrice
Held For Staff

Among the season’s most gala
events is the annual Maids and
Porters’. Dance, held this year on
Saturday, February. 7, in the gym-

Under a canopy of red and white
streamérs, to the rousing tunes of

~~ John Whittaker and his band, and

while raspberry punch flowed like
wine, the merriment proceded. Stu-
dents decorated, handed round re-

Dr. Wells introduced Mr. Malin
and gave some of his former occu-
pations which include a professor-
ship in Economics at Swarthmore
and the Vice-Directorship of the
Intergovernmental Committee on
Refugees. He also mentioned Mr.
Malin’s wide traveling experience
and the honorary degrees of Doctor
of Laws given him by Swarthmore
College and Howard University.
The lecture was followed by a ques-
tion and answer period.

A Brief Excerpt
From ‘King John’
To Be Repeated

The Philadelphia Arts Festival
is scheduling ten minutes of
Shakespeare’s King John on their
program “Youth Looks At Drama”
of February..13. Some of the origi-
nal cast may be unavailable, but
the re-creation will be as complete
as circumstances permit. It will be

performed at Temple University in
full costume, and perhaps even with
the playing-card sets.

The excerpt which has been
chosen is one of intense dramatic
interest, and may be difficult to
convey to the audience without any
build-up. It includes the scene in
which King John tells Hubert to
kill Arthur, and the following one
in which Kimg Philip, Lewis and
Constance express their various
griefs,'and Pandulph sees the mix-
ed effects of England’s victory.

Jane Parry, who plays Con-
stance, pointed out the effective se-
quence of O-sounds with which
the two selected scenes join to-
gether. In Scene 3, Act 3, King
John sweeps off the stage, shout-
ing: “On towards Calais, ho!”
King Philip then opens the next
scene with: “So, by a roaring tem-
pest on the flood... ”

The plot at the point where the
excerpt begins is in the midst of
intricate unfoldings which depend
on their causes and effects, and the
violent emotional state of most of
the characters, especially Con-
stance, may be difficult for the ac-
tors to achieve, directly plunging
into such a climax. However, many
who remember the excellence of
King John’s performance last sem-
ester will want to get another
gimpse of it, no matter how abbre-
viated.

man’s actions are inspired by this
principle, or goal, will he have
liberty. It is from this premise that
the Greeks derived their analogy
of government as a performing art.
In fact, the very root of the word
“politics,” the Greek term for mar-
ket place, connotes action or per-
formance. The Greeks, and later
Machiavelli judged the virtuosity,
or technical skill, of this action to
be freedom.

Politics is concerned, also, with
the maintenance of life, and it fol-
lows from this that courage is a
cardinal political virtue; it is, more-
over, the primary human quality
because it guarantees all others,
and imparts to man the lack of con-
cern for life which is vital for the
attainment: of world freedom.

The failure of the ancient phil-
osophers to associate freedom with
politics is due in part to their denial

lof Free Will. It was only after Paul

discovered this phenomenon of the
personality that philosophy could
embrace political freedom.

The Greeks failed to discover the
will, although they saw self control,
itself clearly a product of the will,
as a primary virtue and requisite
to leadership. It was by contemplat-
ing its impotence rather than its
power, an impotence resulting from
man’s inner conflicts, that Paul dis-
covered this will which now has
become almost synonymous with
will to power, the roots of tyranny.
Freedom thus become sovereignty;
it is this which is the most perni-
cious effect of the philosophical
definition of politics.

Freedom is created with every
new beginning; thus, to be born is
to be free. All that is new and un-
expected partakes in the miracu-
lous; the coming into being of the
earth and evolution should accur-
ately be classed as miracles. Man
has the capacity for performing
miracles, and it must not be con-
sidered superstitious to be prepared
for them in politics. The greatest
danger of totalitarianism is that it
can preclude these miracles; stop
natural processes, institute long
periods of stagnation. “Today,”
says Dr. Arendt, “Human freedom
depends upon the capacity of man
to perform miracles, to bring about
the unexpected as a reality.”

wrote his early. plays for universal
appeal among the Irish people,
should eventually have turned to
this traditionally aristocratic form
and created drama for a very se-
lect public.

Noh-drama raises expression
from a personal to a symbolic lev-
el. Its staging is intimate, its
plot simple, and its emotion sub-
limated into bodily movement
through the use of masks and
dance. Music and dance, its two
basic media, appeal either jointly
or alternately to the eye and ear
of the public.

_ Comparison of Temperaments

Yeats’ affinity to this Japanese
art form is racial as well as indi-
vidual. Miss Suetsugu notes a ba-
sic similarity between the Celtic
and Japanese temperaments. Both
are imaginative in their interpre-
tation of the natural and spiritual
worlds, and place great emphasis
on emotional expression. Yeats
had a particularly strong inclina-
tion towards ritual and symbolism,

seem All of these are basic ele-

ments of the Noh-play.

Although Yeats saw with re-
markable intuition ‘the essence of
the Noh form, his actual knowl-
edge of it was incomplete. It was
derived entirely from English
translations of the plays, and from
his acquaintance with Ezra Pound
and several Japanese friends.

Yeats Evolves Variation

Yeats’ use of the Noh-drama
in his own playwriting was at
first in the form of almost direct
re-creation or imitation. Later,
however, he evolved some varia-
tions of the type which enabled him
to incorporate in it beautiful lyric-
al speech and the dramatic con-
flict of philosophical problems.

Miss Suetsugu’s comparative
study of culture is fascinating in
its subject matter as well as. its
exposition. Although the study is
complete in itself, part of its vir-
tue for the uninformed reader is
undoubtedly that of stimulating
further investigation of. the plays
under discussion.

French poetical theory in the period
from the eighteenth century to
Baudelaire.

The panel members are M. Vigée,
Mrs. Michels, Mr. Lattimore, Mr.
Nahm, and M. Maurin. M. Maurin
explained that the reason that
members of the panel are predomi-
nantly from the Greek and Latin
departments is that the topic of
Miss Gilman’s book, particularly as
it concerns the eighteenth century,
is very much influenced by Greek
and Latin Poetics. The book itself
does not treat the sources of its
ideas, therefore the discussion may
deal with them rather fully.

The panel, M. Maurin surmised,
will probably use Miss Gilman’s
book as a springboard, and enlarge
the discussion to one on the idea
of poetry in general. M. Vigée and
Mr. Lattimore, the two poets on the
panel, will be able to contribute
from their own creative experience.

a conciliatory gesture on the ascen-
sion of Pope Pope Pius XII, but
was rebuffed. Said he, “It is a trag-
edy that religion cannot make peace
within its own family. How can the
spiritual world face conflict with
the materialistic world when it can-
not agree within itself? Religion is
behaving in a criminal fashion. It
is at war inside Christendom.” The
prospects for renewed cooperation
between the Catholic and Orthodox
traditions, then, seem good.

The role that Protestant leaders
would play in the prospective Coun-
cil is as yet a matter of conjecture.
Protestantism is, of course, by no
means unitary in itself, but has
been subject in the last three hun-
dred years to division and sub-
division, to fragmentation and to
internal conflict. However, the cre-
ation of the World Council* of
Churches in 1948, with sixty de-
nominations participating, has
strengthened Protestant solidarity
and is an important indication of

the new faith in the old axiom, «

“united we stand, divided we fall.”

It is unlikely that an Ecumenical
Council will be held before 1961,
and its details and functions are so
unclear as to make hope and even
conjecture premature. But even the
rejuvenation of the idea of an ecu-
menical council is a landmark in

the history of the Christian Church.

Campus—Fire is a problem peren-
nial, and crowded institutions are
peculiarly susceptible to major dis-
asters, as last fall’s Chicago school
fire made vidivdly clear. Bryn Mawr
has had three fires of its own in the
last year and a half, in Goodhart,
Park and the heating plant. None
of these held, however, anything
like the possibilities of tragedy

‘should a fire start in a dorm. Stu-

dents have the greatest part of
the responsibility, and any cajolery
or threats which would lead to an
adult awareness of the danger of
blocking a narrow hallway with
laundry or of using a hotplate in a
room seem to us well worth re-



iterating time after time.

~ Brun Mawr Refuses Federal Grant!

On Basis Of Loyalty Oath Clause

Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and
Swarthmore Colleges have refused
to participate this year in the pro-
gram of: Federal loans to under-
graduate students established by
the National Defense Education
Act of 1958, registering their ob-
jection to the provisions of the
Act requiring an “anti-subversive”
affidavit and a loyalty oath.

The-clause_in- question, Title X
of the Act, now known as the
Mundt Amendment, states:

“No parts of any funds appropri-
ated or otherwise made available
for expenditure under authority of
this. Act shall be used to make
payments or loans to any individ-
ual unless such individual (1) has
executed ‘and filed with the Com-
missioner an affidavit that he does
not believe in, and is not a member
of and does not support any organ-
ization that believes in or teaches
the overthrow of the United States
Government by force or violence
or by any illegal or unconstitution-
al methods, and (2) has taken and
subscribed to an oath or affirma-
tion in the following form: ‘I do
solemnly swear (or affirm) that I
will bear true faith and allegiance
to the United States of America
and will: support and defend the
Constitution and laws of the Unit-
ed States against all its enemies,
foreign and domestic’.”

The presidents of other colleges
and universities have protested
this amendment as well, among
them Dr. Nathan H. Pusey of Har-
vard, Dr. A. Whitney Griswold of
Yale, Princeton’s Dr. Robert F.
Goheen, and the presidents of
Bates, Bowdoin, Colby, and Col-
gate. Only Bryn Mawr, Haver-
ford and Swarthmore, however,
refused the aid outright. Grants
to the other institutions which
were among 1,227 colleges and uni-
versities receiving $6,000,000, were
announced last week.

On record as opposing the
amendment, or either the loyalty
oath or the disclaimer affidavit are
the American ‘Association of Uni-
versity Professors, the Association
of American Colleges Commission

SCM Conference
Offers ‘New Man’

The concept of the “new man” in
today’s society will be the theme
of the Bryn Mawr-Haverford Stu-



__dentChristian-Movement’s week- |”

end conference to be held in Rad-
nor, Pennsylvania, on February
20-21. Dr. Julian Hartt, Chairman
of the Department of Religion at
Yale Univerity, will act as the con-
ference leader and give three ad-
dresses on the topic “Christ and
Anti-Christ: Images of the New
Man.” :

Dr. Hartt, who received his Ph.D.
in religion at Yale, has been at
the Divinity School there since
1948. His interests, however, ex-
tend beyond his field of philosoph-
ical theology into (among others)
the realms of politics (Dr. Hartt
ran for the state legislature in
1954) and the ontology of art.

According to Don F. Colenback,
the adviser to the SCM, the theme
of the conference, that of the “new
man”, is certainly not limited to
the Chrisitian Faith. He notes
that while St. Paul speaks “of the
‘new creature in Christ,’ Milton
Mayer speaks of ‘the Soviet’s new
man;’ Dijilas writes about the ‘new
class’, Julian Huxley hails the ‘new
science’.” He adds, furthermore,
that it is hoped that the “spirit of

the e will be one of vig-
orous { inquiry, recognizing the
force of each of the images of the

New Man characteristic of our cul-

-on.Academic.Freedom, and Secre-
tary of Health, Education and Wel-
fare Arthur Fleming, To date,
three bills have been introduced
in the House seeking to eliminate
or amend Title X. Similar move-
ments are afoot in the Senate. On
January 29, Senators Kennedy
(D4Mass.) and Clark (D-Pa.) in-
troduced a bill which would strike
out the controversial provisions in
the Act,

The affidavit and oath were
written into the Act on the Senate
floor by Senator Karl E. Mundt
(R-S:Dak.) last summer during
the adjournment rush. It appears
to have gone through conference
without much debate.

dancer has always had a small
range of movement. Although Bal-
anchine and some of the modern
dancers who have choreographed
works for the New York .City Bal-
let have set the male dancer largely
free of the restrictions of the past,
there is still no single ballet that
depends on the male lead as much
as Medea, for instance, or Allegro
Brilante or the Sylvia Pas de Deux
depends on the ballerina. In ballets
like The Still Point and Agon the
boys and -girls-each have a large
part of the interpreting to do, and
in these ballets the male dancers
in question (Jacques d’Amboise and
Arthur Mitchell) reach the high
points of their careers so far. But
these are exceptions: the perform-
ing success of any given season de-
pends for the most parton the bal-

but as art develops it does not have
to be discernably more .complex.
Religion depends on imaginative
ways of perpetuating and bringing
out its significance. The real prob-
lem today in religion -is not the
manufacturing of new symbols, but
of. adjusting the old forms to meet
the need at the moment. They.
should be changed in a subtle way.
It requires more than the spon-
taneous generation of form out of
form. New forms-cannot be-ereat-
ed without new creative experi-
ences to illuminate them, . There
is an absence of new experience in
the world. We are realists because
‘we are aware of new and alarming
situations in the world, yet we
may view this scene with obtuse-
ness and be stunned by its crude-
ness. “We do not draw our new
experiences: together into the per-



spectives which can make them ar-
tistically and religiously signifi-
cant.” We must take the art of
the past and bring it to the pure
present and erect new art forms
to illuminate the present world.
The artist, like the religious per-

son, is a moralist. His morality
may not be conventional, but with
the artist’s illumination and in his
absorption of creation he presents
the real nature of the world and
the claims it makes on the world.
Through him we are able to view
it with greater perspective.
Religion is the merging of sym-
bols and imagination not present
in art itself. Art needs only sym-
bols of experience to know the fin-
ite environment. It is the compre-
hension of the created world and
God’s relation to it. Religion
doesn’t require the cultvated tech-

Dr. Mason, whose task of speak-
ing to an audience composed of
both experts and know-nothings was
not an easy one, described with
the use of slides meteorites, which
are what he called outer space’s
missiles to us. He said that the
meteorites were probably derived
from a now-extinct extra planet
whose orbit was between Mars and
Jupiter; it was formed, judging from
evidence of the meteorites, about
4% billion years ago or about the
same time as the earth, and shat-
tered soon afterwards.

(Dr. Mason. pointed out that be-
sides being similar to the earth

reason to believe that the extra

planet had~ essentially: the same
composition as the earth; . thus,
much can be learned of our own
planet by observation of the sam-
ples of another which we get in
meteorites, On this topic, Dr. Ma-
son showed that meteorites might
ibe classified as irons, stony-irons,
or stones depending upon whether
they came from the core, mantle,
or crust of the planet.

There is still a lot of work to be
done in collecting and analyzing
meteorites, said Dr. Mason. He
pointed out some of the difficulties
involved in distinguishing meteor-
ites from other stones in rocky

played. Since an actual “unveiling
of several rooms of specimens
would require a rather lange veil,
the occasion went without yanking
a bit of cloth from something, but
Saturday did mark the first time
the collection was available for ob-
servation,

The minerals themselves were
on display in boxes with cellophane
stretched across the top, and the
visiting geologists wandered ‘be-
tween rows of them, fondly pat-
ting the boxes of favorite speci-
mens and comparing them with
their own at home. ‘

Some of the younger set were
competing to show each other the
prettiest minerals, while the more
advanced geologists broke into
groups for technical discussions.
Among the experts were George
Vaux and Henry Vaux, sons of the
collector, who presented the col-
lections to the College.

Resurgent Morality and. the “Saturday Review”
hopefully, be provided with both |.

Continued from Page 2, Cols. 4, 5

to this country for plastic surgery
and medical .care a number of
Hiroshima Maideris disfigured by
radiation burns. This project,
which caught the popular imagin-
ation and touched the popular con-
science, was highly successful and
has led to a similar endeavor in
recent months.

This time the Saturday Review,
with contributions from its read-
ers, has brought upwards of thirty
of the Ravensbroek Lapins to the
United States for surgery and
medical attention. The Lapins, as
the name suggests, were Polish
girl guinea-pigs for Nazi medical
scientists during the war; they
suffered: operatigns-on- healthy tis-
sue, bones broken. to insert bits of
glass in the marrow, Never grant-
ed reparation by the post-war
German goverment or given res-
titutive medical care, they will,



by the Saturday Review.
Along political lines, one stand

the Saturday Review takes is fam-
ous, perhaps by virtue of mere rep-
etition: the position that war must
ibe eradicated through organization
and arms control. For SR—or
rather, perhaps, for its editor, Nor-
man Cousins—black is black and
white is white so far as this matter
is concerned, In the Atomic Age,
so the reasoning goes, war has be-
come unthinkable; even to contem-
plate it is a sin against humanity
dnd perhaps against all life on
earth. The only way to stave off
disaster is to push continually for
disarmament and a United Nations
‘with police powers. The impetus
for this push must come from an
awakening and resurgence of a
moral sense in the general public,
an awareness of present and pros-
pective criminality.

LOW-COST
STUDENT
TOURS

TO EUROPE

JET CLIPPER



As low as $774 from New York... 40 days

Now Pan Am is offering a fabulous series of special student
tours that feature the new Boeing 707 Jet Clippers*—
world’s fastest airliners— between New York and Europe.
No extra fare for the extra speed and comfort.

Of all the areas of the world, Europe is most suited to
the type of unusual, adventurous travel you want. There
are literally dozens of tours for you to choose from, many
offering academic credits. And what’s more, there’s
plenty of free time left for you to roam about on your own.

From Midwest and West Coast Cities, other direct
Pan Am services are available on radar-equipped, Douglas-

built “Super-7” Clippers.

In a similar vein, Norman Cous-
ins has led the battle against
atomic testing, both in the pages
of the Saturday Review and as 4
charter member of the Committee
for a Sane Nuclear Policy.

‘Along with these projects and
distinct editorial leanings have
gone a number of articles under
“SR Ideas” relating “Politics and
Morality” (Adlai EXStevenson in
the February 7 issue), science and

religion (Warren Weaver, “A
Scientist Ponders Faith’, January
3) and so forth.

In this approach and outlook

the Saturday Review is unique,
so far as I know. In a time. of
hard, unoptimistic realism, an em-
inent, highly resepctable magazine
is conducting an idealistic cam-
paign reminiscent of an earlier,
more sanguine generation in our
century. This is a fact peculiarly



worthy of note. ;

Mrs. Marshall Speaks at Assembly

’ Continued from Page 1, Col. 3
after’ the war, the increase in en-
rollments meant that facilities had
to be expanded, and money raised
for them.

Other problems besetting the col-
lege presiderit—and here Mrs. Mar-
shall’s source was a book by a
college president—include reaction-
ary Board members, students whom
he never gets to know, and even,
Mrs. Marshall added regretfully,
deans left over from: the last ad-
ministration. This pessimistic view
of the president’s life was not one
with which Miss McBride would
agree, she thought.

In order to speak of Miss McBride
without “sounding like an obitu-
ary,” Mrs. Marshall again made use
of quotations. One was from the

speech made by | Marion Edwards
Park in 1942, when she announced

to the college that a new president
had been found. The other,.at the
opposite end of Miss McBride’s
term at Bryn Mawr, came from a
‘recent College News editorial ex-
tending the college’s best wishes
for her sabbatical. Mrs. Marshall,
for her part, is already looking for-
ward to the beginning of next year,
when Miss McBride will have re-

turned, and oe can go back to the
Dean’s Office.

Notice

Leo Spitzer, Professor Emeritus
of Romance Philology - at Johns
Hopkins University, will deliver
the Class of 1902 Lecture on Thurs-
day,’ February 12.

The lecture will take place in the
Common Room in Goodhart Hall
at 8:30 p.m. Professor Spitzer’s



‘topic will be “Courtly Love.”
