Tri-College Chorus Sings
Honegger, Earns Plaudits

by Alison Baker

The Bryn Mawr, Haverford and
Swarthmore choruses came togeth-
er. again this year for a concert
with Ormandy and the Philadelphia
Orchestra, Honegger’s Christmas
Cantata, which they performed, is
a difficult piece of music, and its
many unexpected dissonances de-
mand fromthe chorus a_ solid
command of the notes in indepen-
dent parts. At the concert last
Saturday night, tone and intona-
tion in the chorus were generally
excellent.

Leblanc Illustrates
“Meta-disciplines”
In Sample Study

Hugues Leblanc, of the Bryn
Mawr Philosophy Department, lec-
tured Tuesday evening, December
6, in the Common Room on “Phil-
osophy of Science: A Sample
Study.”

To illustrate the relationship
between science and the philosophy
which deals with science, Mr, Le-
blane outlined the steps of: the
problem of: estimating desired in-
formation on the basis of sample
_ findings within a population. Since
the population could exist in any
science, the problem has wide ap-
plication.

In justifying the fact that
some of the information which is
obtained, in this case the sequence
of the findings, is not used to ob-

tain the result, Mr. Leblanc used.

a principle from _ information
theory. Here, he pointed out, the
methodology of science aided the
philosopher of science,

The job of philosophy of science,
on the other hand, is to examine
scientific procedure, to justify the
way in which scientific conclusions
are reached, and, occasionally, to
suggest reforms in procedure.

Thus, the philosopher of science.

should reflect and.discourse about

science, whereas. the _ scientist
should reflect and discourse about
phenomena.

Both the scientist and the phil-
osopher of science, or meta-scien-
tist, play necessary roles, accord-
ing to Mr. Leblanc, In fact, many
disciplines profit by the analyses
of the corresponding ' meta-disci-;
—— In answer to the questions
--which followed. the lecture, Mr.
-Leblane--elarifiedthe- job of the
meta-scientist: he need not be a
super-scientist before proceeding

to philosophy, for the fields are}

separated by the fact that not

| impassioned notes, rather hard on
the tenors, while beneath these
sustained tones the orchestra is
playing complicated and percuss-
ive rhythmic patterns, The chorus
had a good range of dynamics,
and used it fully through the con-
cert.

The two soloists, husband and
wife, were excellent, I particu-
larly liked her clear tone -.and his
ne enunciation of the words. In
the Christmas carol medley in var-
ious languages which followed,
the chorus achieved a very light
and bouncy precision, fading off
beautifully at the end.

The Laudate Dominum was
"sharply drawn in-the—chorus, and
the words well defined and under-
standable.

The only real criticism I have

of the chorus in this concert is
that its tri-aspect was somewhat
unfortunately evident. It would
be g if the three choruses could
have more rehearsal time together
to even out inconsistencies in blend
and attack. However, on the whole,
they certainly did very creditably
by the music and the orchestra.

Dido and Aeneas

The other two -pieces of music
on the program were a Suite from
Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, tran-
scribed for orchestra by Lucien

Caillet, and Richard Strauss’s
Tone Poem, “Ein . Heldenleben”,
Op. 40.

The Suite from Dido and Aeneas
seemed to me unfortunately heavy
in its orchestration, but the Hel-
denleben was magnificent. Anshel
Brusilow played an excellent solo
violin with the lyrical part of the
hero’s beloved, There were also
opportunities for some wonderful
solo work in the winds and brass-
es.

Istanbul Church's
Art Work Reveals
Realistic Depiction

Discussion of the mosiacs and
frescoes in the Kariye Camii
Church in Istanbul was the sub-
ject of the Class of. 1901 lecture in
art history, given by Professor Si-
rarpi eder Nersessian on Decem-
ber 11. Prof. Sirapie is working
with the Dumbarton Oaks Re-
search Library in Washington, D.
a...

“The unusual thing about this
church,” she explained, “is that it
has a dual dedication — to Christ
and to the Virgin Mary. This fact
is reflected in all the art work in
the church.”

Of the mosaics and frescoes
that decorate the walls and ceil-
ings many depict the teachings of
Christ, an equal number repre-
sentthe life of the Virgin and

ures together during Christ’s early
life.

Prof. Siranpie also pointed out
the humanness of the figures evi-
dent in the slides she showed.

“During the eleventh . and
twelfth centuries,” she stated,
“the Church wanted their divine

more than human qualities of
Christ and the Virgin. By the
time the Kariye Camii was built
in the early fourteenth century,
the emphasis had changed. Art-
ists now approached their divine
subjects with an eye to making
them appear human. In their re-
gard for naturalness of appear-
ance and use of bright colors to
suggest life, the artists
Christ and the Virgin appear less
austere than they had in éarlier
depictions.”

Prof, Sirarpie also discussed
prefiguration of Mary in the
church’s art. She showed pictures
of Jacob wrestling with the an-
gel and explained that the ladder
to Heaven represented the Virgin.
Mary and was also foreshadowed
by the burning bush (“burned but
not consumed”) which Moses saw
and by the ark and the altar in
Solomon’s temple,

figures to suggest the eternal and:

Max Lerner to Speak

Max Lerner, well-known au-
thor of Ideas are Weapons and
“the more recent America as a
Civilization; Life and Thought
in the United States Today,
has accepted the Executive
Board’s invitation to speak at
Bryn Mawr. March 21st is the
date which has been set for his
lecture. His topic has not" yet
been decided,

Mr. Lerner will be the sec-
ond speaker brought to the
College by Executive Board,
under the provisions of the new
charter adopted last year.
(Last year’s speaker was Rob-
ert Frost.) These provisions
give Executive Board the finan-
cial means, through a larger
share of Common Treasurry
dues, to bring prominent peo-
ple to the college — people
whom some of the smaller or-
ganizations do not have the
funds to sponsor.

Legislature Authorizes Change
To Clarify Former Driving Rule

The driving rule, which has been a constant source of controversy
and confusion, has finally been revised. Since early October the ex-
ecutive and advisory boards of Self-Gov have been working to pre-
sent to the Board of Trustees and the Administration plans for a new
rule to replace the outdated, impractical one under which the college

The new rule, having been approved by the Trustees and Legis-
lature, will not be an administrative regulation as was the old one

but will come under the jurisdic-
tion of Self-Gov. It will be a one
year provisional rule to be evalu-

ated at the end of the year to de-
termine its effectiveness and merit.

Major Points Outlined

The new rule, which has been
posted in all dorms, was presented
to the entire student body on Wed-
nesday morning by Carolyn Gold-
mark, president of Self-Gov. The
major points Carolyn emphasized
were: 1) Students may not oper-
ate or keep motor vehicles on cam-
pus because of the lack of parking
facilities and because the Trustees
and Administration do not wish
Bryn Mawr to be a “driving cam-
pus.” 2)It was felt necessary to
pinpoint the approximate area
where a student may not drive
and which the college considered
“Philadelphia and college vicinity.”
However, the Administration was
not in favor of setting up a speci-
ed radius lest it be interpreted
that outside a certain limited area
there was no concern for the in-

History Club Hears Dudden Discuss

In a paper entitled “Nostalgia
and the American”, which Mr.
Dudden gave Thursday evening,
December 8th, he spoke of the na-
ture and historic importance of
nostalgia in America.

The idea of progress throughout
its heyday was believed in by the
majority of Americans. The case
for progress rested on material)
growth. It provided a rationali-



zation of historical change, and

mportance Of Nostalgia In America

founded the belief that social, po-
litical and economic institutions
were evolving steadily towards
human happiness. Events of the
|twentieth century have largely
shattered this,

Current of Nostalgia

Running counter to this idea of
progress, however, was a current
of nostalgia. Important segments
of the’ American people tried to
do nothing but stay where they
were, and find their remembrances.
Often the lures of an uncertain
future were repudiated for the
fixtures of the present or the mem-
ories of the past.

In illustration of: this, Mr. Dud-
den cited first the period of the
American Revolution, then Jack-
sonian Democracy, the Civil War,
and later developments. In the
first, colonial resistance was main-
ly to what were innovations in im-
perial policy, In the Declaration
of Independence there is-a strong
restorative impulse evident. Sins-
ilarly, Jackson’s attack on the
bank was at least in partean ef-
fort to recall agrarian, republican
innocence,

Pressure on World

In the Civil War, it was the
pressure of the modern world on
an archaic social system that drove

the South past the point of no re-

Mr, Dudden also discussed the
Populism of the 1890s and the

Progressive movement of the early

twentieth century. He described

nostalgia as reflected in the writ-

ings of local colorists, in Revival-

THE COLLEGE NEW'S

Wednesday, Decombed 4, 1960



Christmas Greetings to New Orleans

When a state legislature claims the right to withhold
payment‘of:teachers’ salaries rather than proceed with racial
integration, and four first-graders need federal escorts to

- enter their classrooms, we on this campus are directly affect-

ed. As students; we must one day feel the impact.of.an-action
which flaunts the primacy of éducation and leaves to chance

‘the development of potential colleagues; as Americans, we

are beginning to. feel the repercussions of the ugly national
image created by such action; as human beings we have
always been stung by the affront to our humanity such ac-
tion implies. ‘

It seems only right then that the citizens of Lousiana,
who in denying the Supreme Court’s demand for integration
are so clearly capable of affecting us, should be subject in
turn to a reciprocal influence. . A kind of simple justice tran-
wcending our Northern prejudices against segregation and
our irresistable instinct to interfere in what -we consider
wrong, seems to demand that we try to affect the actions of
toes of integration in New Orleans in the same way that

their actions affect us.

As individuals our Northern accents would hardly be
audible in Louisiana; as a campus we can, at least, be heard.
It is gratifying, therefore, to see Bryn Mawr’s Committee
for Action on Civil Rights giving organized .resonance to
our individual and inarticulate protest. In adding our sig-
natures to its petition to President Eisenhower urging him
to exert influence on Louisiana’s opponents of integration,
and in writing in our good wishes on the committee’s many-
paged Christmas card to New Orleans’ four first-grade stal-

warts, we have, at least, made a start in accepting the re-
sponsibility implied by this right to reciprocal influence.

_Woleum Yole!

Some warm the soul and some the body, some find diffi-
culties with the latter, most have their share of both. Trips
to the ville for food, decorations, more food and more decor-
ations. Clubs suddenly deciding they exist and having parties
to certify the fact. Professors preparing speeches, carolers
and mummers rehearsing. And then, of course, a most ap-
propriate and blizzardous snowfall.

and spirit for ephemeral gaieties. So Wolcum Yole!

At last—the Driving Rule

Many thanks are due Self-Gov for seeing through the
clarification of and additions to the Driving Rule. Now that
the rule has been approved by Legislature it has come under
the jurisdiction of Self-Gov rather than the administration
as formerly. Sinée this is so, and since the rule is provision-
al and will be evaluated at the end of the year, infractions
should be carefully avoided. At the same time, since the

rule is provisional, we might well be on the lookout for loop-

holes in its content which can be stopped-up before the final
version is put into effect.

Dance Troupe Act

Members of the Bryn Mawr
Dance Club performed in the
Great Valley Singers’ presenta-
tion of Amahl and the Night Vis-
itors in Malverne last Tuesday
night. The Christmas program of
the Great Valley Singers, an ama-
teur group in Malverne, included
two works, Benjamin Britten’s
Ceremony of Carols, and a con-
cert version of Gian-Carlo Menot-
ti’s opera, Amahl and the Night
Visitors.

In this concert presentation
there were several singers on
each voice part, and the drama
acted out im dance, Laura Neilson,
Lisa Moore, Nicole Schupf, and
Frank Bowles danced the shep-
herds’ offering of gifts to the
three wise men, and Beverly Car-
ter danced the part of the page.
They were directed by Leslie
Hartley, and choreography for
the group was done by Miss Ann
Carter, who teaches modern dance

Betchen Wayland for a critical
paper regarding the more effec-

Currently Betchen is applying her

TraditionalRounds

Highlight Program

by Kristine Gilmartin



On very short notice, the Mad-
rigal Group, sponsored by Arts

uncil, gave an excellent perfor-
mance in its first solo concert,
December 7, in the Common Room.
The selections and voices were
equally fine, and the whole con-
cert was pervaded by a delightful
spirit,

“Great Tom is Cast,” the Eng-
lish round with.which the group
began, rang like chimes, especial-
ly well in the lower register.
“Sanctus” also utilized all the
voices strongly, this time im a
powerful and sustained swell.

“I thought that love-had been
a boy,” “‘Adieu, sweet Amaryllis,”
“Rest ‘Sweet Nymphs,” “Oh, eyes
of my beloved,” and “April isin my
mistress’ face” were all pleasing
examples of the madrigal. The an-
swering voices, delicate melodies,
and romantic and rather hedonis-
tic words were infused with a suit-
able feeling of gaiety or sadness
for each one. "Sing we and chant-
ed” by ‘Morley was especially mem-
orable and outstanding.

“Signor Albbate,” a round by Bee-
thoven, struck a different note and
was quite amusing. “Ave Maria,”
a (Mozart round, showed the
group’s ability to control long,
sustained phrases as well as the
swift rhythms of the other madri-
gals, “Bona Nox,” also by Mozart,
was a gay and good-spirited good-
night song which sounded rather
like an exceptionally fine assort-
ment of Swiss clocks. .

An “Alleluja” and “Psallite”
were both strongly and enthusias-
tically sung and were more bold

vious selections, The closing “My
heart doth beg you’ not forget” by
di Lasso, however, returned to the
more gentle, typical song which
the group does so well. Among
the several encores was “Flora
gave me fairest flowers” which
‘was so well received on Arts
Night.

The Madrigal Group’s fault, if
any, lies in a certain smearing of

termined, and so the language is

\.a--eomplete mystery. “To ‘the lay

person the symbols of both scripts
look rather like .assorted bird-
tracks,

Last summer Betchen decided
to tackle Linear A through statis-
tical studies of its symbols. With
the help of her sister, Ann Way-
land Peters, Bryn Mawr ’59, and
brother-in-law, both of whom are
doing graduate work at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin, she gained
access to a 650 IBM electronic
computer. She-soon procured the
interested sponsorship of Mr. Em-
mett Bennett, of the Classics: De-
partment of the same university.

Betchen’s first job was to code
all of the information written in
Linear A which has been discover-
ed. She assigned a number to each
symbol, transcribed the obscure
legends into strings of numbers,
and sent the results to Wisconsin,
where an input program made
them available to the computer.
Betchen’s brother-in-law, a physi-
cist, then wrote further programs
designed to tally the frequency of
the symbols, of digrams (pairs of
symbols), and of trigrams. The
advantages of the computer in

this work are that it does more

faster and that its exact figuring
of thé significance of each fre-
quency points up =prominences
which would not be noticed by the
human researcher.

The major problem with Lin-
ear A is that there is simply not
enough material to establish sig-
nificant frequencies, Most of the
clay tablets. which have been
found seem to be temporary finan-
cial records which were preserved
only by accidental fires which bak-
ed them, But a great deal can be
done to get the present informa-
tion into usuable form so that any
more which is found can be added
automatically.

In the first place, the frequen-
cy charts must be indexed and
cross-indexed, backwards, for-
wards, and, in the case of «tri-
grams, from the middle. Betchen
also plans to examine the proce-
dure which is being used to see
if it can be significantly improved.
Beyond this, little can be done ma-
thematically, except to hope that
some far-fetched hypothesis, the
testing of which is made feasible
by the speed of the computer, will
work out positively.

Now the archaeological work
begins, “You just start some-
where,” says Betchen, “and try to
figure where the word breaks
come.” This detective work of
comparing and organizing the ma-
terial in an effort to establish
words is “like working blind-fold-
ed,” comments Betchen ruefully.
“You hope one thing leads to an-
other until you can get some sense
out of it.”

ism, and in architecture and the
popular arts.

Nostalgia today still plays an)

important part in America, The
idea of progress and nostalgia both
suggest instability and fluidity in
existing circumstances. They are

conceptual structures erected and
maintained in a fluent present.
Nostalgia is a psychological mood
of important segments of the pop-
ulation, It is a conservative re-
sistance to change which has to
rely on a nearly mythical idea of
the past; a belief that in the past
there was a golden age.

Nostalgia vs, Progress

Nostalgia is just as American
and just as good as the idea of
progress. It is important to recog-
nize. the historic importance of
nostalgia in moods and acts of the
American ‘people.

On Monday night Mr. Dudden
gave a very informal talk in the
Common Room on the “Image of
America.” He was primarily con-
cerned with the image abroad, and
illustrated his talk with anecdotes
from his recent stay in the Scan-
dinavian countries.

Images Abound

There are six main images of
America: the military, the Holly-
wood, the historical, the Western,
the materialistic, and the anti-
racial. Some people oppose Amer-
ica on one count, and support. it
on another not realizing their in-
consistency. The military brings
much dissent, especially between
the older and younger generations.
The racial conflict and the mater-
ialistic view bring us in to the
news most, and are equally unfav-
orable,

Understading Americans

Mr. Dudden feels that Ameri-
cans understand Europeans better
than Europeans understand Amer-
icans, but he feels that by helping
them understand our country we
can help them understand them-
selves better.

1. It combines a unique inner filter of ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

2. with a pure white outer filter. Together they select and balance
the flavor elements in the smoke. Tareyton’s flavor-balance gives
you the best-taste of the best tobaccos.
