To Debate Role of Intellectual
‘What are the responsibilities and opportunities of the intellectual
in America today?
A thorough examination of this question, and
possibly some answers to it, will be presented in am all-day major
on Saturday, ‘April 8.
‘Conference, tobe held by Alliance, Ants Council; Interfaith and League,
Speakers for the Conference, representing three genres of “the
intellectual,” aré-Russel Lynes, Elmer-Hutchinsson, and Germaine Breé.
Mr. Lynes, the “generalist” of
the group, is an editor of Harpers
and a well-known expositor of the
high-brow, low4brow schism in con-
temporary America. Elmer Hut-
chinsson, a scientist, is Director of
the American Institute of Physics,
and Germaine Breé, the final
speaker, is a poet and critic.
The (Conference, entitled The
Role of the Intellectual in Amer-
ican Society, will consist of three
major addresses, a luncheon for
speakers and students, and an
afternoon panel discussion, Prep-
aration for it will begin early next
semester, and committees to han-
dle publicity, hostessing, and pro-
gram editing will be organized at
that time. (Students particularly
interested in working on the Con-
ference preparation should con-
tact Hanna Woods, Betsy Lever-
ing, Kathleen Livezy, or Tina Sou-

Sigma Xi Lecture
Reveals Mallory’s
Fresh Contribution
by Lucy Tyson, 63
At the Sigma Xi lecture, Tues-
day, January 17, Mr. Mallory of
the Bryn Mawr Chemistry Depart-
ment first proved “the impossibility,
then the existence of a new type
of molecular structure”.
Starting with the compound
Cs6H4N20, benzofurazan a combina-
tion of two six— and five—mem-
bered rings, he first explained the
structure of the next in series,
CeH4N202, benzofurazan oxide.
Then he asked whether the series
may be extended to CeH+N203,
benzofurazan dioxide. The prob-
lem is not one of synthesis, but
analysis, sincd such a compound
exists, but had been given another
structure called orthonitrosoben-
zene, composed of one benzene ring
with a nitro and nitroso group at-
tached.
Granted that the aromatic nit-
roso compound exists in a solution,
the next step concerns the ‘struc-
ture of the molecule in solid form.
Mr. Mallory then rephrased the
question and asked whether the
chlorine-substituted ‘benzofurazan
dioxide eristed.
To answer this he again attempt-
ed to synthesize it, starting with
the nitro group-chlorine substitut-
ed amine and its isomer, These he
oxidized to produce the correspond-
ing nitroso compounds. If the
chloro-substituted dioxide existed,
either isomet ‘in solid form should
produce it in an equilibrium reac-
tion. If not, each isomer will pro-
duce its own dimer. For this reac-
tiom two different compounds were
_produced, proving the structure of
the chloro-substituted compound
M. Maurin Reads
Significant Works
Of Modern Poets
Among the events in 1960 in the
field of French literature were the
deaths of two poets. In tribute to
these writers, Supervielle and Re-
verdy, M. Mario Maurin, Chairman
of the Bryn Mawr French Depart-
ment, gave a reading and a dis-
cussion of their poetry Monday
evening in the Ely Room.
‘Supervielle enjoyed both liter-
ary and personal success during
his lifetime, but Reverdy was al-
most unknown. He lived more in
silence and in secret. The later
part of his life was spent in par-
tial seclusion near a monastery.
Although the move was not a total
acceptance of the religious life,
it was inspired by a great longing
for faith.
His poetry is marked by an ab-
sence. There is nothing distinct
in it, One can imagine people but
not faces, sounds but not voices.
One feels as if something has hap-
pened and yet cannot say precise-
ly what it is. It is in total nega-
tion, in a grey world that Reverdy
expresses himself,
Although a member of the same
generation, Supervielle had a dif-
ferent ‘childhood from Reverdy’s.

Dieckman Reveals
Religion As Factor
In ‘Enlightment’
Mr. Herbert Dieckman, Swift
Professor of French and Spanish
at Harvard University, gave the
first Margaret Gilman Memorial
Lecture Wednesday evening in the
Ely Room. The presentation, spon-
sored by the French Department
through the auspices of Miss Car-
oline Newton, was in memory of
the former head of the Bryn Mawr
French Department, a close friend
of Mr. Dieckman,
Diderot Interpreter
Mr. Dieckman, the foremost in-
tenpreter of Diderot, discussed “Re-
ligious Thought of Enlightenment.”
He introduced his topic by stating
that “the antithesis between re-
ligion and thought in the Enlight-
enment is a very simple concept.”
One must realize, however, how
important is the. tradition from
whch a new period seeks to disen-
gage itself.
Behind the scientism and ration-
alism of the 18th Century writers,
were the metaphysical and relig-
ious interpretations of their pre-
cursors. The discussions of free-
dom versus determinism, nature,
and the immortality of the soul,
etc., were fundamentally based on
the religious thought which these
writers inherited. Nor were these
topics discussed for the previously
decided purpose of rejecting them.
Revision Needed
“The American scholarly view
of the Enlightenment is in need
of revision.” Mr. Dieckman believes
that we should consider three class-
es of precursors: those now in our
geneology; those the writers them-
selves considered important; and
those with whose ideas they were

Student Criticizes
HUAC Procedure
The Civil Rights Committee and
Undergrad last Wednesday eve-
ning presented Bob ‘Walters, a
spokesman of the National Stu-
dent Association, who discussed the
House Un-American Activities
Committee and presented the case
for its abolition.
The Committee, he explained, is
in a unique position; it has all the
powers of a Grand Jury with none
of its restrictions. It differs from
a conventional court, in that the
accused cannot call witnessse in his
own defense, face his accusers, or
even. see the accusations made
against him, Moreover, in contrast
to the secrecy maintained in Grand
Jury Proceedings, public exposure
is a. prime tool of the Committee,
and public scorn its most effective
sanction.
In examining witnesses the Com-
mittee uses tactics which are to-
tallyunfair, says Mr. Walters. By
browbeating and repeating ques-
tions they trick the defendant into
unintended revelations. Since it
has the authority tto make chang-

Election Revision Council
Submits Plan to Students
Since October the committee to revise the election system has béen
meeting weekly under the chairmanship of Mag Parlin, Vice-President
of Undergrad. These meetings have been open to any interested-mem-
The committee’s proposals will constitute the agenda of a Legis-
lature meeting on Thursday, February 9. There will be a required
session for Legislature-members on the previous Monday, February 6,
at 7:15 in the Common Room, to acquaint them with the agenda and
with basic parliamentary procedure.
The agenda will concern the election procedure for the all-college
elected offices of Self-Gov and Undergrad, the two organizations of
which everyone is an ipso facto member. Election systems of 34 other
colleges and information provided by the National Student Association
were considered in .ithe develop-
ment of the committee’s report.
An effort was made to find in these
materials ideas pertinent to Bryn
Mawr’s special situation, with par-
ticular reference to the dual na-
ture of. our governmental struc-
ture.
The major change suggested by
the committee’s report concerns
nominations for the two ipso facto
Presidencies. In the proposed
system straw-balloting is replaced
by a procedure under which any
student may submit suggestions
to a committee consisting of the
Vice-President of Undergrad, the
First Senior to Self-Gov, and the
four Class Presidents. After check-
ing with the candidates to ascer-
tain their willingness to run, this
committee draws up a list of all
the suggested names. At this
point candidates suggested for
more than one office make a choice
in order to avoid overlapping of
slates.
The next step is a college-wide
primary, the results.of which com-
prise. the final slates. The election
of the officers from—these slates
remains similar in procedure to
the present preferential system,
which, the committee feels, is fair-
est to the individual voter since, if
her first choice is eliminated, she
has a continuing voice in the elec-
tion.
To publicize and stimulate in-
terest inthe elections, the commit-
tee suggests that an all-college
meeting be held before the nomin-
ations are opened, This would al-

Reflections on Impending Bluebooks
The end of the semester is generally the time for ans-
_wers. For the next two weeks blue-books full of them will be
turned out-at-an.alarming rate and with them the solid satis-
faction which comes only~of-tieing.up a course in asterick-
studded, and Occasionally incoherent, but at least temporar-
ily definitive “answers,” For the exiting News Board, how-
ever, semester’s end promises no such solid satisfaction—at
least not where News queries are concerned. The end of a
full-seméster of campus scanning has left us with basic cam-
pus questions whose solutions even now elude ‘the finality of
-blue-book_summation._
How, for example, we wondered and are wondering still,
does the library-type study necessary for attaining the skill
and understanding that make an active adult citizen valuable.
to hi8 community compare as a social virtue with the kind of
political activity (picketing, petitioning, etc.) which makes a)
‘gtudent feel himself a valuable citizen?—-Which should get
the priority, preparing for greater social responsibilities or
accepting immediate ones?
How should a campus of individuals be expected to re-
act to a project or program which depends on group backing,
or, on a broader scale, how should an independent campus,
which is proud of its uniqueness and independence, react to
a sweeping inter-campus movement?
How, if independence is retained, can the indifference
and ineffectiveness it seems to imply be justified in face of
inequalities to be righted and problems to be solved? Or,
if it can’t, how can the group or movement to be support-
ed in the fight against these injustices be intelligently and
independently selected?
How can decisions about the integrity of a movement’s |
leadership and value of its cause-be made on the basis of lit-
erature and evidence supplied by that movement? How, in
short, can we be effective and useful citizens outside of organ-
ized student groups, and, if we can’t, how can we continue
to make decisions independently, and act creatively and indi-
vidually, while cooperating with others for effective action.
These are not easy questions, but they are basic. They
must, of course, be answered by individuais rather than for
the campus as_a whole, and in respect to degree rather than
affirmation or negation of principles. They are questions
which rightly should be tied up blue-book ‘style as political
activity becomes increasingly important on campus, but,
knowing this, we are, nonetheless, delighted that we won’t
be handed any such cerulean tomes as we leave office.
Some Heartening Statistics
Some interesting and rather heartening statistics have
been unearthed by the Bureau of Recommendations about
the now historical Class of 1960. Today, six months after
graduation, 46% of the.class is engaged in graduate study,
and of the 47% who are already working, 16 are in the teach-
ing profession. Compared with similar figures for the Class
of 1951, 23% of whom were in graduate study and 5 work-
ing as teachers, 60’s percentage of the academically-immers-
ed is doubly encouraging. The trend toward more graduate.
study which it indicates may be the result of more available
financial aid, the increasing demand for students with ad-
vanced degrees, or simply a rising level of interest; at any
rate, it says something significant about intellectual excite-
ment at the undergraduate level in Bryn Mawr and some-
thing hopeful for society as a whole. The increase in the
number of teachers is also worth noting. The shortage of |:
qualified students entering the field of education has been
long and loudly bemoaned; it is delightful to see, even in a
spot tally such as:this, a definite trend among Bryn Mawr stu-
dents toward setting right this too-long decried deficiency.

The Magician, now playing at
the Wayne Avenue Playhouse in
Germantown, may be viewed on
various levels. Essentially it is
the story of a troupe of so-called
magicians, who must perform their
tricks before a skeptical chief of
police, docto rand official in a city
in Sweden. The central figure of
the group is “Dr.”. Vogler, who,
after having been ridiculed by his
viewers, gets. even with them by
making the doctor think that he,
the magician, is dead and then by
coming back to life after the post-

Times of January 10, a task force
appointed by President-elect Ken-
nedy has made a number of rec-
ommendations in the field of cul-
tural exchange, One of the com-
mittee’s plans would, if effected,
channel Government funds to
American institutions to ‘help in
the education of foreign students.
The reaction at Bryn Mawr to
this tentative program has been
favorable. Miss Lang suggests
that funds which may be uncondi-
tionally administered bby the col-
lege would be welcome, and. stated
a preference for a program which
would expand exchange opportun-
ities over one which would reim-
burse colleges for work they have
shown themselves capable of doing
BMC Ahead
Bryn Mawr has long been out-
standing in this field. According
to Mrs. Martha M. Diez, Adviser
to Foreign Students, the unusual-
ly great proportion of foreign stu-
now
ratio in the Graduate
5 os
about 6% %, with the great-
ent political emphasis on such ac-
ber of scholarships, including one
complete scholarship offered by
the student body.
Foreign Reputation
The Graduate School, the pos-
session of which makes Bryn Mawr
unique among women’s colleges,
has also contributed greatly to our
international reputation, It makes
possible a high-caliber faculty
whose members do research of
world-wide interest, and it produc-
es _PhJD.-holders.. who teach...in
many nations. As a result, Bryn
Mawr is better known abroad than
in the United States. :
Problem Solver
The.fascinatingly varied tasks
which Mrs. Diez performs each
day are evidence of the special
problems which arise when a stu-
dent takes up life in a strange en-
vironment. Bryn Mawr is fortun-
ate, however, in having had a
great deal of. experience with such
Magician Exploresthe Supernatural:
Bergman's Movie
ing, the emphasis upon the mys-
terious quiet of the woods and the
striking of slow, individual notes
on a guitar.
Thereafter the preservation of
the mood rests with Dr. Vogler.
When he wears his false beard and
make-up and is the mute, tortured
magician, the film is full of the
puzzling conflict inside him. When
ne acts as nimself the tone of the
movie is much more real.
Tne contrast between the two
moods is clearly seen at the end.
Dr. Vogler, as tne magician, comes
back to life atter “dying” ‘ind, in
a harrowing scene, haunts the doc-
tor, who is trapped’ in the attic.
A moment later Vogler appears
witnout nis magician’s guise and
begs the doctor and his friends for
money for tne performance.
Query Into Supernatural
The Magicjan, however, is neith-
er a mood nor a story; it is an in-
vestigation of' man’s ibelief in the
supernatural. When Dr, Vogler
acts his role of magician, all those
around thim, especially he himself,
beiieve in nis power and feel the
presence of mysterious forces. The
film seems to suggest that man
readily credits powers beyond his
control because he wants to. He
enjoys the fear of the supernat-
ural and the sense of security
which proceeds from a belief in the
existence of forces greater than
himself. The servants and the
hostess in the house where the
magicians perform are all eager to
believe that Dr. Vogler can pro-
vide them with love potions or, in
the case of the hostess, explain the
divine meaning behind a child’s
death,
Laughing at Mankind
Perhaps, having discovered how
susceptible man is to superstition,
Bergman is laughing at mankind
in his film, for his changes from
the mysterious to the everyday are
so abrupt that the audience almost
feels ashamed for the ‘horror they
experieced a few moments ago.
However, Bergman is certainly
concerned with supernatural him-
self as is suggested by his show-
ing the death of a drunken actor
whom the magicians have taken
in. As he dies, the actor suddenly
starts in terror, presumably of
what he sees ahead. He says; “We
move deeper and deeper into the
darkness, The movement is the
only truth,” and this suggests what
Sérgman seems to consider a more
realistic view of life; nran may, he
says, complicate his life with ideas

ficer in Seoul)
. Pat Ranard ’63
One of the most fascinating and
sobering experiences of my Kor-
militarized Zone approximately
forty miles from Seoul.
This zone was established by the
the Korean War in 1953; it is 4000
meters wide and extends across
the Korean peninsula The DMZ
is divided by the Military Demar-
cation Line, the dividing line be-
tween North and South Korea. No
military activity is permitted in
the DMZ, except for military po-
lice patrols and Joint Observer
Team meetings. The Joint Secur-
ity Area, commonly spoken of as
Panmunjom, was created from both
halves of the DMZ; the Military
Armistice Commission meets here.
This commission is composed of
five senior officers, three of whom
must be of the rank of general,
from the United Nations Com-
mand, and another corresponding
five from the Korean People’s
Army—the Communists. The UNC
delegation is composed of a repre-
sentative from each of the U.S.
military services. plus a delegate
from the Republic of Korea and
England; each delegation is head-
ed by a Senior Member who is its
spokesman. The purpose of MAC
meetings is ultimately to unify
Korea, and more immediately to
settle border disputes and infringe-
ments of the Armistice; the meet-
ings may be called by either side.
The Commission has met at Pan-
munjom for seven years; during
that time not a single issue has
been settled,
Open Meetings
We attended the 123rd MAC
meeting, on July 27, the Seventh
Anniversary of the Signing of the
Armistice. The meetings are open
to both Koreans and foreigners,
all of whom must obtain a pass to
enter the DMZ, and a United-Na-
tions-blue badge to enter the JSA.

ilarly tagged with dark green arm-

Language Lab to Supplement Classes
Will Include Aids for Comprehension
Professor Christoph E. Schweit-
‘zer, chairman of the German De-
pantment, has announced that the
new language laboratory will open
to the college community on Feb-
ruary-6, the first day of the second
semester. The lab, located in the
annex behind East House, will cre-
ate the opoprtunity for both hear-
ing and speaking foreign languag-
es,
History of Lab
Although construction of such
a lab has been under consideration
for. several. years, it was not. until
last year that a committee repre-
senting all the modern foreign lan-
guage departments decided to go
ahead with the project. An ap-
propriation was granted by the
Board of Directors, and the equip-
ment, costing $3450, was installed
during November. and December
under Mr. Schweitzer’s direction.
The shiny metal eanphones and
humming tape recorders, put in by
a Philadelphia distributor for Mon-
itor Language Laboratories, are
connected by a single wire which
runs around the room. The set-up
includes four sound-proofed booths
where the listener can hear his
own voice as well as the master
tape, and twenty chairs, whose oc-
cupants can tune in on any one of
four channels being broadcast by
master recorders:

younger brother hunted with Fath-

Sasha described a jaguar hunt.
“The natives tell us “if jaguars are

for the hunt at about five A.M., on

that the rest of the herd can cross

Sasha described Brazil’s climate
briefly. “The rainy season is ter-
rible. The whole area is flooded,
except for little patches of dry
ground where the ranchers have
built their houses, We paddle in
canoets over former foot trails.
The mosquitoes are especially bad.

Glamour Begins Search at Bryn Mawr
For Best-Dressed Collegian in ‘America
Asa special tribute to the fashion
consciousness of the Bryn Mawr
student body, Glamour magazine
has asked the college to participate
in its fifth annual “Ten Best Dress-
ed Girls in America Contest.” Bryn
Mawrters, known for the sleekness
of their gym tunics and sweat
shirts as well as for the delight
they take in dressing formally for
all meals including breakfast, have
merited the magazine’s attention
despite the incomprehensible fact
that none of the victors in the past
five years has come from this
school.
Champagne & Recognition
The incentives for students to
enter the contest are numerous.,
Each winner will receive a two-
week expense paid visit to New
York, which will finish with “a
gala Champagne Cotillion.” Gla-
mour also promises the winners’
colleges national recognition in
its August issue.
The method by which the stu-
dents are to select their best dress-
ed colleague is not specified. To
date, suggested methods have in-
cluded drawing straws, playing a
prolonged game of Russian rou-
lette and choosing the most ele-
gantly attired participant in a
2:00.a.m. fire drill.
In any case, look to your ward-
robes! Glamour is watching you.

Continued from Page 3, Col. 1
the members of the NNSC and
their staffs were allowed freedom
to travel in both North and South
Korea; however, several years ago
the KIPA forbade the Swiss-Swedes
travel into North Korea, and the
UNIC retaliated with a similar re-
striction for the Czech-Poles. This
has resulted in a strange situation,
for everywhere in-the world except
in Korea the Czechs and Poles are
our “friends.”
The NNSC meets weekly in its
own conference hut (at a round
table, signifying equality and neu-
trality) to review the reports sub-
mitted by both sides on the in-
crease or decrease of military
strength, The NNSC is almost
completely ineffective because the
KPA refuses to cooperate—the
meetings are a mere formality,
and last ten to fifteen minutes each
week. We were told of one occa-
sion when the NNSC knew that
the Communists had shipped in
several hundred new jets to their
air4base in North Korea; that week
the Communist report consisted of
a listing of several jeeps that had
overturned.

Perhaps the only encouraging
jaspect of the trip to Panmunjon
was a visit to the Swedish camp

trating and farcical nature of their
jobs, these men have managed to
retain a kind of high courage and
spirit and humor. They had dec-
orated their mess hall with the col- |
orful provincial shields of Sweden;
the flowers at their camp were
brighter and stronger than any I
had seen in Seoul. They had built
the traditional Swedish bell tower,
simple and beautiful, where they

try they are in. Small classes of
6 to 10 students will read’ classical
and modern texts, the daily press

with outstanding personalities and
will participate in all academic
and social activities with the stu-
dents of the country, They will
have full auditing privileges at the
host universities. Living with host
families, they will learn much
about the customs of the country.
A knowledge of the language of
the country visited is not a pre-
requisite.
Dr. Hirschback, an assistant pro-
fessor at the University of Minne-
sota will lead one of the German-
language groups. Other group di-
rectors include professors from
Yale, Denison University, Haver-
ford College, Queens College and
the University of Georgia, Cornell
and the University of Massachu-
setts.
Full information on the program
can be obtained by writing to
Classrooms Abroad, 4171 Univer-
sity Station, Minneapolis 14, Min-
nesota.
The courses sponsored by the
British Universities are mainly
for graduate students but some
undergraduates will be accepted.
At Stratford-upon-Avon the sub-
ject will be Elizabethan drama; at
the University of London the
course will be the study of English
Literature, Art, and music of the
17th and 18th Centuries, using
materials preserved in London’s
buildings, galleries, and records;
at Oxford the subject will be Eng-
lish history, literature and the arts
from 1870 to the present. The
course at Edinburgh School will
feature political and economic his-
tory, philosophy and literature of
Britain from 1559 to 1789. .
The British program will cost
approximately $254 which includes
board, residence and tuition for
six weeks. The inclusive charge
for the Austrian program is $225.
A few full scholarships are avail-
able for both programs.

acter and permits it not to be cruel.
Of making many books there is no end; and much studying is a
strongest tie.
For the student there is, in its season, no better place than the
saddle, and no better companion than the rifle or the oar.

es; though not to convict, the Com-
- mitteé has succeeded in perpetuat-
ing the atmosphere of the “witch-
hunt” and creating a “community
of fear.”
Public Pressures
Illustrating the unfair tactics
employed by the Committee in its
examinations throughout the coun-
_ try, Mr. Walters cited imstances of
subpoenas being delivered to teach-
ers in classrooms and lists of the
accused being released to newspa-
pers for publication before hear-
ings were even begun, In~ such
cases, he said, public pressure
built up against innocent individ-
uals can be tremendous,
Although the National Student
Association, which he was repre-
senting, has passed a resolution fa-
voring reform of the controversial | .
committee, Mr. Waters ~ himself
sees such reform as unfeasible and
is personally in favor of abolition.
The fact that it is individual mem-
bers of the Committee who are
evil, rather than the Committee
itself, is, he says, no coincidence;
the committee attracts a certain
type of Congressman, and so even
with new membership it could not
change appreciably in nature.
“A Bastion to Democracy”
Although many Congressmen per-
sonally oppose the Committee, its
abolition is not immediately fore-
seeable. Groups like the American
Legion and Daughters of the
American Revolution, who consid-
er the Committee a bastion of
Democrocy, hold too many votes
for any Congressman to risk alien-
ating them. Liberal organizations,
like N. S. A. and the American
Civil Liberties Union, are there-
fore launching campaigns of “ed-
ucation”, to encourage opponents
of the HUA to write their con-
gressmen letting them know of
support for abolition of the com-
mittee. Representative James
Roosevelt is going to spearhead
the attack on it by asking for a
cut in its current appropriation.
Such a cut would considerably cur-
tail its power, and Walters strong-
ly advises that Congressmen be
made aware of public feeling
against the HUAC, so that they
fee] they can safely support this
move to ‘weaken it.

molecule will absorb light which
is vibrating at idential frequencies
he determined the structure, first
of the chloro-substituted dimers,
then of the original dimer postu-
lated previously. Plotting the fre-
quency of light against the per-
cent absorbed.by each dimer, he
found that all had similar absorp-
tion peaks; therefore, that the
proper structure of the original
was indeed the dimer.
Then Mr. Mallory proved the ex-
ustence of the. sturcture he had
postulated. The chloro-substitut-
ed dimers are dissolved in a high-
boiling-point solvent, and ‘then
heated until the equilibrium reac-
tion produces the momomers,
When the solvent has evaported
and the residual solid is examined,
t is found to contain one-half dim-
er and one-half of the other.
What the observed, Mr. Mallory
decided, was that one monomer
converted to the other by passing
through an intermediate which had
to have the double ring dioxide
structure he postulated. Thus, he
proved the existence of the diox-
ide compound he had suggested.

Born in’ Urugiiay on January 16,
1884 he always retained a sort of
double nationality. He often treat-
ed the subject of Europe and Am-
erica.
His happy childhood, however,
hid an ill body. His concern with
the physical body and heart is
translated into his poetry by a
fear that everything may break
when touched. This feeling leads
him to avoid any extremes. He is,
for example, neither really a pes-
simist.nor really an optimist,

pier who will be visiting lecturer
in French next semester, M. Char-

Pascal is not in our geneology but
had a very great influence on Vol-
taire and Diderot.
The influence of religion, was
both external and internal. Vol-
taire’s “Poeme sur le Disastre de
Lisbonne” is profoundly concerned
with religion. Diderot was inter-
ested in reasonableness in the mor-
al conduct of life. Even the de-
nouncements of Catholicism in the
works of the Enlightenment were
sometimes only a rejection of the
Chureh in favor of inner religios-
ity.
One must, therefore, always keep
in mind the fact that the Enlight-
enment cannot be divorced: from re-
ligion even though it is basically
a period stressing reason, the ra-
