Seventy-fifth Approaches, Brings Fetes,
Big College Procession in Full Regalia

Bryn Mawr’s 75th academic year
will be inaugurated formally at a
special public convocation to be
held in Goodhart Hall from 4:00 to
5:00 p.m., September 28: The
asembly will be attended by all
undergradugtes, graduate students,
fellows, scholars, faculty members,
alumnae representatives, and the
Board of ‘Trustees.

Mr. John R. Pruett, chairman of
the 75th Anniversary Committee,
explained that, since this convoca-
tion. is to be the one public event
of the ‘year, an effort has been
made to plan the cellebration in ac-
cordance with the desires of the
student body. Thus, the commit-
tee has met with student represen-
tatives, and the present program
is the result of agreement between
them and the faculty.

Music Added

The convocation itself will be
accompanied with music—a _ pro-
cessional and recessional march.
It will open with an invocation by
Mr. Henry J. Cadbury and a short
address by President Katherine
McBride, returned from her sab-
batical. The opening address will
ibe delivered by Mr. John Gardner,
head of the Carnegie Corporation
and chairman of the Committee
on Education under the Rockefel-
- Jer Brothers Grant, Following the
Convocation, Miss McBride will
give a reception on Merion Green,
to which all participants are invit-
ed.

Procession Highlight

Probably the most striking fea-
ture of the Convocation will be the
procession to and from Goodhart,
in which the entire campus will
participate—this, Mr. Pruett add-
ed, at the request of the students
themselves . Marching in the pro-
cessional is mandatory for stu-
dents as well as faculty. Over the
summer, each student will be sent
a card and asked to indicate wheth-
er she intends to take part. Per-
mission to be absent must ‘be-ob-
tained in advance from the Pres-
ident or from Miss Biba.

Rule ‘Necessary’

Such a rule is necessary, says
‘Mr, Pruett, who has had experi-
ence with graduation processions,
because of the limited seating ca-
pacity of: Goodhart. The seats
allotted to each class must be fill-
ed, so as to avoid either an awk-
‘ward gap in the audience or, after
the music has stopped, the last-
minute interspersal of non-gowned
visitors among capped and gowned
students, which would detract
from the formality of the occa-
sion. Moreover, since the upper-
classmen do not return to the col-
lege until the day before the con-
vocation, and the seating plan will

have to be made up in advance,
it is essential that the number of
participants be calculated exactly.
In case of rain, the freshman,
sophomoré, and junior classes will
be excused from marching, but che
procession itself will take place
regardless of weather, It will
probably extend as far as Senior
Row, since the number of persons
marching will be much larger than
at Commencement time. The stu-
dents will be the first to enter
and the last to leave Goodhart,
and this arrangement, as Mr. Pru-
ett pointed out, means that they
will have a ringside seat for the
rest .of the procession which—
since the professors will be in full
academic regalia—should be a
very colorful one.

Gaylord Harnwell
Will Be Speaker
For Class of ‘59

Dr. Gaylord Harnwell, Com-
mencement speaker for the class
of ’59, is a Haverford graduate
and the first physicist to head the
University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Harnwell, who, after gradu-
ation from Haverford, worked in
Cambridge University’s Cavendish
Laboratory, Princeton, and Califor-
nia Institute of Technology, was
responsible for research leading to
discoveries in the fields of mass
spectroscopy, underwater sound,
nuclear physics, and molecular -col-
lisions im rare gases.

During World War II he worked
as Director of the University of
California’s U. S. Navy Radio and
Sound Laboratory, and in that ca-
pacity made discoveries of prin-
ciples-of undenwater sound which
led to the development of sonar
and earned for him the Medal of
Merit,

Background Traced

Before his election to the presi-
dency of the University of Penn-
sylvania, Dr. Harnwell served as
Chairman of its department of
physics and professor of —radio-
logical physics. He is presently a

Much to the chagrin of upper-
classmen who survived their geo-
logy experience with cold, soggy,
rainy field trips, ours was blessed
with good weather. Since every al-
lusion to “field trip” this year was
‘accompanied by some snort or wail
about last year’s three days of rain,
this was no mean accomplishment.

We assembled in the seeming
pre-dawn (8:15) Friday morning
and boarded some rickety buses
which took us all the way to Over-
brook to fake out some transporta-
tion legality. There we boarded two
luxurious buses, which looked far
less luxurious when we got off
them Sunday.

Northward Trek

We started northward from
Philadelphia and had just settled
down to naps and other foolish
bustime amusements when we sud-
denly became aware (subtly, of
larly efficient sound system in-
stalled in each bus; there ended
amusements and commenced things
geological.



For the first few stops, every-.

a



petition by several tons of mach-

one eagerly grabbed sacks, picks,
maps, cameras, notebooks and as-
sorted other paraphernalia; we
soon discovered that one either had
hands for the equipment or for the
functions they were supposed to
perform, so more and more things
were left behind until at the end of
the trip the geologists themselves
(basic equipment to say the least)
barely dragged hemselves from tht
bus.

Friday’s Attractions

Two main attractions on Friday
were a slate quarry and lunch
(stated in dutiful if not preferen-
tial order.) Lunch was an invasion
of a perfectly innocent unsuspect-
ing motel-lunch-stand-type of place,
which found its food fairly un-
requested, as we had brought our
own delicious, tasty, wholesome,
tempting, and by now sat-on lunch,
but soft drinks were most popular.

The slate quarry had dirt; im-

many other attractive features,
such as workmen. Drs. Watson
and Dryden soon gave up the lec-
ture technique in the face of com-

Sunny Days, Fossil Picking, Trilobites:
Ach! The Joys of Geology Field Trips

inery, and the curious young stu-
dents were allowed to wander in
their search for knowledge; they
wandered to a mammoth pile of
factory rejects and played tic-tac-
toe on the slate slabs; they wan-
dered into the cutting shed and
did their best to say uncut; they
wandered up to a man punching
holes in the slate for roofing, and
one asked the operator, “Do you
do this all day? Just this?”; they
wandered over to where the slabs
were being loaded on trucks and
asked, “What’re they for?”
- “Oh, patios—that kind of thing.”
“Gosh, just think of all the pat-
ios in the world.” :

< Karly Arising

About 5:30 we raised a few eye-
brows in the sleepy Penn-Stroud
Hotel as we arrived in Stroudsburg
in all our geologie glory, i. e. dun-
gareed, uncombed and bearing half
the remnants of Upper Pennsyl-

Show Is ‘Brought to Life’,
‘Lack of Action’ Overcome

“‘Heartbreak House,”’ Social Dirge by Shaw
Wins Plaudits for Acting, Atmosphere

very much needs to realize in what _
context Shaw was writing, to un-
derstand what the play is talking
about, though not to enjoy it. He
took his example from Checkov,
whose gentle social satire applied
not only to his own country. As
Shaw says in his preface, “Heart-
break House is not merely the
name of this play... it is cultur-
ed and leisured Europe before the
war.”

W WI Jolt

The “tremendous jolt” of the
First World War was necessary to
shake these leftovers from the
nineteenth century out of. their
complacence. The play was begun
before the war, but even then he
could see that the responsibility
for the country lay with the more
educated people, who were wast-
ing their education for selfish ends,
and with the more intelligent peo-
ple who preferred not to work and
in particular not to assume any
practical interest in politics. They
preferred to pay men equipped
neither by profession, nor morally,
to do the job for them.

When one realizes the connota-
tion that “practical businessmen”
had for England at’this time, when
several had been tried out in pub-

lie office and had only succeeded in
doing harm, one understands the
diatribe aside, as it were, on Man-
gan the politician, and why he
and the burglar are the men. who
must be destroyed at the end even
though with Hesione we have be-
come almost fond of Alfred. .

Shaw’s Characters

Meanwhile Shaw has been creat-
ing the people he is criticizing,
and it is interesting to see how
they almost ran away from him.
He seems.to—let-each—character
have his opportunity—the women
in Act I, the Captain, Randall, and
Hector in Act II; and it is certain
that we are more fascinated by
Hesione and her father than by
anything Shaw makes them say.
In his other plays Shaw combines
his message with his characters;
Andfew Undershaft in Major
Barbara takes part in the action,
whereas Mangan is a subject of
discussion more than anything.

By making Hesione bewitching
and :the Captain very old, Shaw is
able to put straight philosophising
and moralizing into their mouths
im a way unlike his early plays
where he usually has an example
of what he is attacking far more
involved. There is a great deal
of statement rather than demon-
stration of character, in contrast,
for instance, to Man and Super-
man. This is partly facilitated by “
the atmosphere he takes such
pleasure in creating, of a house
where nothing is what you expect
it to be; and where therefore it is
the most natural thing in the
world for everyone to enter into a
discussion of Mangan’s money
and Ellie’s marriage.

The main contributor to the feel-
ing of the sea was the captain
himself. In an authoritative per-
formance. Thayer Willis was a.

The Grand Debate

Once upon atime, in a Pleasant but somewhat Sleepy
Town, there existed a Debate. This Debate began fortui-
tously, for a casual and private remark was overheard by
the Town Crier, and it was not long before everyone who Lis-
tened knew of it. Quite a harmless remark, when you thought
about it, but a few people got excited, and a few more were

Annoyed; and yet.a few, who rather disapproved of Sleepi-

ness, saw their Chance. The Debate was born.

The trouble with this remark, which was really a Ques-
tion, was that it implied a number of other Questions, all of
which, of course, were necessary to place it in Context. So,
much to the surprise of most, except those who rather dis-
approved of Sleepiness, the Debate took on Considerable Pro-
portions, or at least, encompassed a Considerable Scope. Quite
naturally, Opinion was Sounded. The results were Inconclu-

sive; but by now, the Questions were directed at the going
Way of Life, and it was quite evident that there were a lot
of people who were Not Happy. A lot were, but they didn’t
say much. Then a Meeting was called, and the General
Problem was to be discussed by Interested and even Qualified
people,

Now the Town was not an Ordinary Town at all, but a
settlement of Alchemists, prospective Alchemists ,and people
who Wanted to Find Out a Little About Alchemy, because

they thought it might be useful Later On. Practically every-.
one in the Town was engaged in finding out what was Al-

ready Known about the Making of Gold, and how to use this
Information. Even those least advanced in the pursuit en-
gaged in Experiments, using, as best they knew how, what
they already knew.

All went well, until. someone chanced to say that the

“people who Really Knew about Alchemy, were long gone

and much too Remote from the people who knew Little; if
only, it was said, some one among those who knew Much
would take each of those who knew Little under his wing,
as it were. Then people began to say that something was
wrong with the way the Information and Techniques were
being spread, and besides they didn’t seem to Relate. We
are not Stimulated to make Gold, they said; we are even
afraid. Besides, we’re not even sure what good the Gold
would do us once we made it. No: a correction: no-one really
asked this last Question. But the Malaise was there.

Came the day of the Meeting, and quite a Crowd assem-
bled. The Qualified lined up, and the Interested disposed
themselves about. A Battery of loosely connected Subjects
for Discussion had been prepared, and the Discussion began.
For a time it seemed as if the Debate might proceed in an
orderly fashion, but, before long the people who were chosen
to Discuss were more or less forgotten, and everyone got in
on the Act. In the melee the evidence of the Sounding was
corroborated ; that there were people who were Not Happy on
every subject that came up, and not a few were raised. These
were opposed by the Happy. Toward the end, the Lofty De-
bate came down to this: “I am Happy,” said one; “I am Not
Happy,” said another. Confessions of Citizens.

This year’s 7-College Conference
was held at Smith College in
Northampton, Massachusetts, the
weekend of April 25. We spent ex-
actly ten hours getting there,
fighting the subways in New York
among other things, and arrived
dirty and exhausted only to start
off on the first of the discussion
sessions. We stayed in Cutter
House, the new and extremely
modern dorm (Brave New World
Revisited), and were entertained
royally by: our very hospitable
Smith hostesses,

Apathy Keynote

The keynote of the Conference
the first night was the problem
of “apathy”, introduced both by
a member of the Smith Adminis-
who made an _ opening
speech as well as by every other
college represented. “Apathy” was
redefined as a student reaction to
the current plethora of pressures,
both extra-curricular and academic.

Dean Russell of Smith suggest-
ed two possible reasons for this
reaction” on the part of students:
1. that the tenets of progressive
education had taken root, encour-
aging a selfish unconcern for re-
sponsibility and 2, that many stu-
dents were using the increased em-
phasis on the academic as an ex-
cuse to avoid accepting responsi-
bility for or participating in extra-
curricular activities. Every col-
lege at the Conference is facing



this problem. Vassar attempted

to solve it by wiping out all stu-
dent activities, and by re-organiz-

nig: their student government
structure. They cancelled the bi-
monthly, 60-member Legislative

body, replacing it with two Boards
of five members each.

Vassar: “Close Relations”

Regarding faculty-student rela-
tions, we discovered that such re-
lations at Vassar had heretofore
been extremely close. Faculty
members sat. on student activity
boards, participated in dramatic
productions, and generally helped
the students in making decisions
in their personal and academic life.
During this past year, the Vassar
reps said, students have protested
against the stultifying atmosphere
of such relations. Not only do they
want to make their own decisions,
but they Want their faculty to de-
vote more free time toward schol-
arly pursuits!

Difficulties Discussed

The discussions included the dif-
ficulties that student governments
encounter in representing their
student bodies. This topic includes
of course the necessity for having
effective lines of communication
between the students and the gov-
ernment. Mt. Holyoke brought up
their unique problem of represent-
ing a student body which is unan-
imously against the required week-
ly chapel set by the administra-
tion, Mt. Holyoke reps explained
that they had worked to change

took place-in Spain. Again, spring

the administration’s mind, but that
the matter had been taken to the
Board of Trustees by the admin-
istration and their decision was
against-any-change, Various sug-
gestions were made by the other
colleges, and Mt. Holyoke resolved
to try again.

Every college at the Conference
has had “library problems”, and
each has attempted to cut down
on missing books by incorporat-
ing a checking system in the lib-
rary. The question of missing
books is being looked into here at
Bryn Mawr, and certain practical
considerations are being worked
out. ;

B.M.C. Gov. “Most Autonomous”

We discovered that no other col-
lege possessed a more autonomous
student government than __ ours.
Self-Gov.’s rules are the most lib-
eral, yet our honor system is as
strong as any represented at the
Conference. In the area of stu-
dent activities, Bryn Mawr stu-
dents are asked collectively as well
as personally to shoulder more re-
sponsibility than are students at
many other colleges. This necessi-
tates a certain amount of partici-
pation by each individual.

Need for Reorganization

But we recognize that there are
two sides to the question of seem-
ingly. compulsory participation in
student activities, We personally
feel that there is a need for re-
organization of the structure of
student activities on campus and
we would like to see this accom-
plished before our term of office
finishes. The Re-Evaluating Com-
mittee (including the heads of the
Big Six) are examining the stu-
dent activity situation and will
present a plan for re-organization
as soon as possible. No decision
will be reached until it has been
well thought out from both points
of view.

Therefore, so that plans for re-
organization will correctly fit the
situation, we suggest that you use
Campus Mail and send us your



opinions,



Letters to the Editor



Miss Robbins Defines Role of Faculty

To the Editor:

I’m much interested in the cur-
rent News discussion and sorry
that a long-standing engagement
at the University Museum pre-

vents my coming to the “panel.

Here are a few ideas:

Advice—I think plenty of it
swills round but it’s not always
followed without tergiversations
involving a lot of wasted breath.
A longer pause with calendar and
conscience not to mention common
sense before seeking advice might
help.

Personal and intellectual devel-
opment—jWhy should the faculty
discuss your personal develop-
ment? this seems to me egotism
rum mad. You are here at some
cost to parents and scholarship
funds to get basic college educa-
tion. iif you want mental, person-
al advice there are faretts, priests
and doctors to give or sell it.

Classroom—the classroom could
reveal a great deal more if all
persons in it assumed responsibil-
ity. Faculty may be driven to lec-
ture the anxious for discussion
because students sit back and don’t
open their mouths even when ask-
ed to. This is a two-way busi-
mess. Some faculty are better than
others at extracting comments
‘but even the best can do little
with gals who refuse to make any
effort at. all to be articulate,

Tm glad education here is a
surprise even if not always pleas-
ant.

Koad Faculty research com-
n which their liveli-



student body. Intellectual devel-
opment should come partially
from classroom and lab, partially
from library, partially from each
other in dorm and common room.
This depends on the student fash-
ion. At the moment this is I think
more concerned to Bludgeon the
nearest male into matrimony than
in discussing integration, the UN
or new directions in scholarship.
It might change. Certainly the
News and other organizations are
doing a grand job of rousing the
rabble. But the faculty is pretty
much powerless here outside of a
willingness to see any student
that asks to see and talk and out-
side of an interest (which this let-
ter should show) in everything
going on. But this interest is a
part only of my life—I’ve a hus-
band, a township, parents,.a gar-
den, a book and some learned soci-
eties as well as amateur theatri-
cals and student debating socie-
ties on campus. These have been
part of my life ever since I’ve been
here. I like students and enjoy
meeting them but I don’t believe
I can do anything whatever to
stimulate the independent intellec-
tual interest of the student out-
side the class. College is most
valuable often because of the
friends you make and the ideas
you exchange. But if these ideas |
and friendships could include the
intellectual—the college would be
much more of an educational ex-
@erience to the students and the
faculty than it apparently now is.

Murrow’s CBS symposium on the
possibilities and purposes of “The
Educated Woman”, Though of
various backgrounds (i.e., Indiana
University and Sarah Lawrence)
and various points of view, the
panelists were pretty well agreed
on the basic isues; e.g., the Amer-

deficient, she is capable and wor-
thy. of higher education, her edu-
cation will exert considerable in-
fluence upon the success of her
family, community, nation, etc.
Examination .of Her Role

The scope of the discussion as
outlined by Murrow was an exam-

ination of the woman’s role in}

modern society, the impact of this
role upon her education, and the
effect of her education upon her
life.

The questions comprise, said
Murrow, “one of the most contro-
versial topics of our day”, and to
discuss it he had gathered an im-
pressive array of rather important
and representative personages.
‘Present and prepared to defend
the female intellect were Archi-
bald MacLeish, poet and Harvard-
Radcliffe professor; Harry Gide-
onese, president of Brooklyn Col-

Radcliffe graduate; psychoanalyst
Dr. Sarah Shreiner; Dr, Lynn
White, former president of Mills
College; Presidents McIntosh of
Barnard, Gettle of Holyoke, and
Taylor of Sarah Lawrence; Admir-
al Rickover; and, last but not
least, writer E. B. White, hus-
band of a Bryw Mawr graduate
and the school’s most ardent and
articulate enthusiast.

Most Views “Flattering”

Few of the views were radical,
some were surprising, most were
highly flattering. Said.MacLeish,
“The sensibility of women makes
them more susceptible-to the kind
of education which our time most
deeply needs”. He was referring
to that sensibility © ‘which distin-
guished Sappho, Entily Dickenson,

explain that it is “the education
of the emotions, of the power to
feel” which is the most vital need
of the time,

BMC Contributes to Ancient, Primitive Art Show

From May 8 through September
6 the University Museum in Phil-
adelphia will present a show of
more than two hundred pieces
from twenty-five public and priv-
ate collections in the Philadelphia
area. There will be ancient works
which trace the development of art
from early Egyptian through Ro-
man times, as well as examples of
primitive art.

In addition to early Chinese
bronzes and a small Wei Dynasty
stone figure, which are the most

Italo-Corinthian Plate

ancient pieces on exhibit, there will
ibe stone sculptures,'some aprticu-
larly fine small Greek bronzes,
and primitive works from the is-
lands of the Pacific and from Af-
rica, including some charming
masks from the Ivory Coast.
Bryn Mawr--is—sending fifteen
pieces. to this exhibition from the
Ella Riegel Museum of ‘Clasical
Archaeology and sixteen: from the
Herben and Robbins Collection.



Among those works selected for
showing by the museum upon the
advice of Miss Mellink are a fourth-
century B.C. Etruscan mirror with
four mythological figures engraved
in the back; a third century B.C.
Etruscan terra cotta head; from the
Deanery, a marble head which be-
longed to Miss Thomas; and two
pairs of gold Hellenistic earrings
from the third or fourth century
B.C. On the pair are pendent
doves and on the other, rings end-
ing in bulls’ heads, a motif com-
mon at that time.

Aegean Sea and a terra cotta
horseman, both gifts of Miss Swin-
dler, are also included as well as
the two pieces illustrated here; a
painted Italo-Corinthian plate,
and the handle of a bronze water
jar from Greece, probably from
Attica.

Outstanding among Bryn Mawr’s

from Sparta, and two of the best
pieces of Athenian pottery on ex-
hibit—a drinking cup and a water
jar.

Dr. Herben and Miss Robbins, are
sixteen African wood carvings.
Among these pieces, now on dis-
play, are seven figurines, three
masks, a wooden cup ,a box, a
bench and an “ibegi”.

The most valuable carving is
an Yoruba female figure holding a
bowl. This figure is distinguished
by eyes looking in different direc-





Hford Brun Mawr Students See
Civic Spots in Sociology Course

by Joan Bernstein

I sat, with a group from Hav-
erford and Bryn Mawr, in the dep-
uty warden’s office in Eastern
State Penitentiary. We were talk-
ing to a group of prisoners, among
them two murderers. One old man
was serving a life sentence; he
spoke bitterly of the probability
that he will be paroled someday.
From reading criminology texts, I
knew that no employer is likely to
hire him, an ex-convict in his six-
ties. Where is this old man, fam-
ilyless, going to get money for food
and shelter? Would it be kinder
to him and safer to society to keep
him_in_prison_til]_he-dies?—I--sat
there, like the other students, con-
cerned, trying to find answers.

Penitentiary Visited

We were visiting the penitentiary:

as part of a course, Haverford’s
Sociology 38b, “Urban Problems”,
given in cooperation with the
Friends Order Committee, and run
by Haverford’s Dr. Ira Reid and
work camp leader David Ritchie.
On six weekends this semester,
we lived at South Philadelphia’s
Western Community House, cook-
ing, eating, and discussing as a
group.
“Phillie” Classroom —

Our classroom was Philadelphia,
our subject its problems and how
authorities, groups, and individuals
are attenmpting to deal with them.
The course is based on the idea
that, after doing background read-
ing, students can perhaps best un-
derstand the subject by actually
seeing and participating in the
varied activities of a large com-
munity.

Each weekend was devoted to
a different area: painting rooms
in the slums, labor-management
relations and unemployment, hou-
sing;~-mental..health, crime and
punishment, and politics. We took
an active part in a union meeting,
asking questions of rank and file
‘members who ordinarily let the of-
ficials do the talking. One morn-
ing, we went to the Sunday Break-

phia’s unemployed can get a free

breakfast after sitting through a
religious service. We attended the
service; we ate breakfast with the
men and talked with them.

One Saturday night we spent
several hours in a very busy de-
tective division, wherewe were
free to talk to the men brought
in for interrogation. There was
a murderer who first confessed
and then offered six different

squint characterizes a number of
figurines whose maker is known
to experts as the “master of the
uneven eyes.” This twist of a
trademark has been considered a
touch of artistic genius, according
to Miss Robbins.

A piece that is useful as well as

mal’s head carved on each end,

from the French Congo, Miss
Robbins has tagged it “the Herben
throne”, as it gets use in the mak-
ing of fireplace fires.

Other figures include a tatooed
female figure possibly from Baga;
a Dutch New Guinea Korowaar
figure, which represents a woman
and is adorned with real hair; two
painted Yoruba figurines, a male
and female; a female figure, per-
haps from Banule; and a Sierra Le-
one figure with a twisted neck.

The three masks are from Bobo-
fing (?), Ngere, and Yoruba. The
last is a spirit mask. Also from
Yoruba is an “ibegi’, and from
Bushongo comes a wooden cup.

The Herbens acquired all of
these pieces in London, although
they have visited North Africa.
Most of them were brought back
from Africa by British missionar-
ies, and, from among their effects,
found their way into London shops.

Miss McBride addressed a Sen-
ate Education Committee, April 28,
1959, on the subject of the Nation-
al Defense Education Act. Her dis-
cussion was devoted to an explana-
tion of Bryn Mawr’s stand as re-
gards the Mundt Loyalty Oath.
This oath is required of any col-
lege applying for Federal funds.

“The oath required in this sec-
tion is not a test of loyalty, for
the disloyal would not hesitate to
take it; but it does present a dan-
ger to the freedom of thought and
inquiry essential in a democratic
society.” .

First Reason Cited |

As the first of her two reasons
for eliminating the oath, Miss
McBride gave the opinion that
“With the oath the Act is less
likely to achieve its important ob-
jective of extending educational
opportunity. We know that some of
the most intelligent, perceptive
and conscientious students and
professors will not participate in
programs the Act is designed to
provide. They make this decision
not—as I am sure the Committee
knows—from. any. lack.of loyalty.”

“The principle that thought and
inquiry must be free .. . hag suf-
fered both direct attack and more
subtle erosion. I believe, as do
many others, that to leave the
foath-in-the-Act-would be to create)



this bulwark of frée mnonent and
inquiry.”

Distrust Implied

“The second reason for elimin-
ating the requirement of the oath
which I should like to present also
has implications far beyond the
particular programs the Act is
designed to aid. The Act implies
that Congress distrusts this par-
ticular group (students), and a
special test of loyalty must be re-
quired of its members.”

Turning to Bryn Mawr’s specific
position as illustrative of the dif-
faculties faced by institutions in re-
lation to the Act, Miss McBride
emphasized that “Our relationship
with our students is one of trust.
The relationship is basic to the
quality of education at the col-
lege.

Oath: Lack of Trust

“To establish a loan program,
with an oath and affidavit required
of each applicant, would in our
opinion indicate a lack of trust of
students. The loan fund is a fund
within the institution, operated by
the institution, established nine-
tenths by federal funds and one-
tenth by institutional funds. The
responsibility for it cannot be
turned back to the federal govern-
ment. The institution itself is res-

Discusses B.M.C. Opinion’of Loyalty Oath

for aid to graduate study under
the Act, limited by the same loyal-
ty oath requirements. This Miss
McBride explained as follows: “Our
basis for these two applications
was that the programs involved
could be more restricted, affecting
certain departments only, and of
course within those departments
only those individuals willing to
take the oath. We may have been
wrong of course, but in these two
applications we put the possible
benefits of the program above the
handicap of the oath.”

Miss McBride concluded her
statement with “the strong con-
viction that an oath required for
‘any part of the program is a hand-
icap to the objectives the Act is
designed to accomplish and that it
ig a serious new danger to the
freedom of thought and inquiry
that we are as a nation commit-
ted to support.”

History of Gamma Ray Studies Traced
In Recent Lecture by Dr. Lise Meitner

With thanks to Dr. Walter C.
Michels of the Physics Dept.

On April 27, 1959, Dr. Lise Meit-
ner spoke in the biology building
on “The Story. of the Gamma
Rays.” She began with the discov-
ery of the gamma ray in 1900 by
Villard. She then went into the con-
troversy that lasted for twelve
years as to the nature of these rays.
The question was whether gamma
rays are electro-magnetic waves
like light or particles like electrons.
There was also an opinion that the
rays could switch back and forth
between electro-magnetic waves
and particles. In 1912 Von Laue,

Friedrich, and Knipping showed
that they are waves of very short
wave length or high frequency.
Early in the century it was recog-
nized that they are emitted from
the nuclei of the atoms.

Gamma Rays Absorbed

Experiments showed that gamma
rays are absorbed and scattered as
they pass through matter which
they do easily as do x-rays. These
experiments were difficult to inter-
pret until it was recognized that
some of the electrons that come off
with essentially the same energy as
the gamma rays have been pushed
out by the gamma rays that have
been emitted. Another discovery
which clarified these experiments is
that of A. H. Compton, called the
Compton Effect. This discovery
shows that -when an x-ray or a
gamma. ray strikes an electron the
electron is bounced away as a ball.
This is important because it indi-
cates that, although a gamma ray
is a wave, it acts, in many ways,
as a particle.

Basis for. Study

The realization that electrons are
emitted became the basis for the
study of gamma rays. The way in
which «it was discovered tHat the |
beta rays emitted’ by the gamma
rays. are electrons rather than par-
ticles from the nucleus of the atom
is as follows: if the particles had
come from the nucleus, a new ele-
ment would have been formed. But,
new elements are not formed when
the beta rays are emitted. There-
fore the rays have to come from
outside the nucleus and—are~elec-
trons.

Dr. Meitner pointed out that this
must be a process in which the elec-
trons are emitted from the same
atom whose nucleus emitted the
gamma ray. This is true because a
gamma ray from one atom would
probably not hit an électron of an-
other atom.

Order of Rays

She brought up the question of
which ray is emitted first, an alpha
or beta ray or the gamma ray. This
was settled by the fact that scien-
tists know how much eneregy it
takes to knock an electron out of
various atoms. By observing how
much charge the electron is emitted
with, it can be seen that an alpha
or a beta ray is emitted first be-
cause these rays carry out charge
and mass and gamma rays do not.

Another question was how many
‘gamma rays are absorbed in pass-
ing through a given amount of mat-
ter. It was not until 1929, when
Klein and Nishina developed the
quantum mechanic theory of the
absorption and scattering of gam-
ma rays as they pass through mat-
ter, that this could be answered.
This theory was first tested by Sko-
‘beltzym in experiments which were
not very precise, but which seemed
to agree with the Klein-Nishina
formula. In 1930 Dr. Hopfeld and
Dr. Meitner made very precise
measurements that supported this
theory. But, it was found that, while
the Klein-Nishina formula worked
well for the lighter elements, the.



“observed scattering of the gamma

more than the theory predicted.

This, at the time, was not explic-
able. But, with the discovery of
pair production, it could be under-
stood. This theory shows that, as
the.gamma ray goes into the nu-
cleus and disappears, a positron
and an electron are emitted. Pair
production explains the extra scat-
tering that Klein and Nishina had
not accounted for.

1934 Discovery Important

In 1934 the discovery of artificial
radiation by F. Joliot and Irene-
Curie Joliot showed that by bom-
barding atoms with high-speed par-
ticles, it is possible to create new
types of atoms,

Dr. Meitner concluded by saying
that, as a result of these studies,
it is now becoming possible to cor-
relate a number of facts involved
in the structure of the nucleus.
However, one fundamental problem
of nuclear physics is still unsolved:
scientists still do not really have
a satisfactory theory about the
laws of force that act within the

the road, the doors open and 47
little monsters fly out and fling
themselves at a sheer cliff and
being pitifully knocking away at
it with their harmless little ham-

mers; the instructors and grad stu-
dents cluster at the bottom and
smugly sare back at the people
gawking out of passing cars. When
Dr. Watson thinks that enough of
the hill has disappeared he shouts
“Can we gather together” and
knows full well we can.

Anyone who is anyone has col-
lected a trilobite; those in the
next-lower social orbit have found
a piece of one: (“Well, I’ve found
the tail of a trilobite. If anyone
finds a head maybe I can make a
deal-with them.”) Those who have
found trilobites and assorted other
specimens, which will look dandy on
the mantel-piece and will drive
the cleaning-maid mad, slump at
the bottom of the cliff and wait
for the slower ones. One such
slumped person was heard to threat-
en: “The next person who steps
on my face gets it.”

Entertainment Provided

During the afternoon, the local
residents were thoughtful enough
to provide a very entertaining for-
est fire, which was most effective
as a distraction. That night we ar-
rived in Hazelton and probably
doubled the population.

Sunday we explored the coal
fields, which was fitting since
most of us are minors anyway.
There was something earthy about
crawling around in the bowels of
the earth, to coin a phrase, which
we reaffirmed when we tried to
wash it out that night.

Lunch on Sunday was—get this

ley ‘Volunteer Fire Company’s
Ladies’ Auxiliary, which was giving

vity. Every mother in Mahoning
Valley for three generations each
way must have turned out, be-
cause the place was more than full
when we got there and for a little
more than an hour afterwards.
Meanwhile, we played baseball in
the field with a beer bottle
(FOPND) and a toy basketball:

Lunch, when it finally came, was

anonymous young men expressed
their doubts in the relevancy of
Addison and Steele to folding dia-
pers, while some equally nameless
‘faculty members’ deliberated on
the advantages of having a peas-
ant woman or a Ph.D. for a wife,
eventually (and fortunately for
Bryn Mawr, Smith, Vassar, etc.),
cluding that since “education
takes place at the dinner table,”
for the benefit of one’s scions the
latter is more desirable.

Masculine “Resentment”

The root of the female’s difficul-

Radcliffe’s Diana Trilling, in mas-
euline resentment against femin-
ine progress, There is, she assert-
ed, “an enormous amount of sul-
lenness between the sexes”. If
not completely supported by her
male colleagues on the panel she
was certainly not refuted and ap-
parently none could think of a bet-
ter reason for the existence of the
problem. Women, they agreed,
are characterized iby the same
needs as men, the same intellec-
tual potential, and the same ca-
pacity to fill the nation’s need for
scientific and political brainpower.
In addition, they were equipped
with some rather startling figures

concerning women’s employment.
Nine out of ten, they prophesied,
will work for at least twenty-five
years!

Their current failure to fill the
gaps in the ranks of scientists and
engineers was attributed by Ad-
miral Rickover to fear of the dual
stigma of “unfemininity” and
“braininess.” The view seemed
to be discredited, however, by com-
mentaries on the value of their
education by notable sister-school
graduates. ‘“‘School taught me
to think” was the general con-
census, and none seemed the least
contrite about her intellectual
prowess.

Last word in the discussion was
given to Bryn Mawr-husband E.
B. White who drew an ecstatically
glowing picture of the joys of
marriage to the “educated woman”.
His views, written originally for a
Bryn Mawr alumnae publication,
should, if widely enough dissemin-
ated, insure connubial bliss to all
Bryn Mawrters,

“T once held a live humming
bird in my_ hand”, he said._‘I-onee

large extent they are twin experi-
ences”.

terlaced by Shaw, and those of
Nurse Guinness, the sort of old
family servant one regrets, well

played after an Irish sta:t, by
Gretchen Mack, were one of the
greater helps in concealing that
almost nothing happens in the
play. Shaw seems conscious of
this; he suddenly introduces a
session of hypnotism; or gets bor-
ed toward the end of the second
act and introduces a burglar, with
a bold attempt at a Cockney ac-
cent, quite convincing when not
too rushed, a good shifty perform-

lack of action even in the last act,
which is rather all on the same
level unti] the unexplained ar raid.

to the challenge of the dialogue
with its technical difficulties of

full value of the lines was brought
