J. R. Oppenheimer Talks On Influences
Of Science On Three Phases Of Life

J. Robert Oppenheimer, -world-
renowned physicist and Director
of the Institute for Advanced
Studies at Princeton, was the
speaker at Haverford Collection on
Tuesday. He addressed not only
Haverford students but a capacity
crowd of outsiders, including many
from Bryn Mawr.

Beauty in science is the “discov-
ery of order and simplicity and
union and harmony,” said Dr. Op-
penheimer. Yet we shall not have
anything like total knowledge. In
fact, at present, science is pro-
gressing at such an incredible rate
that it is impossible even to learn
and know what is really impor-
tant.

‘Dr. Oppenheimer discussed the
influence -of science on the mater-
ial, the political and the intellec-
tual or cultural side of individuals.
“Science, as properly conceived, is
a humanity” and should be treated
as such, he said.

‘In a material Sense, science has
given man ‘power, although man
will always be limited in his power
and freedom. “A little power, a
little knowledge, a little freedom
we’ve always had—there are lim-
its, but they have been sharpened”,

These limits have been sharpen-
ed a great deal since the days when
Franklin in Philadelphia gave an
impetus _to.the formal study of
seience in the United States.

The existence of new weapons,
said Dr. Oppenheimer, who him-
self was instrumental in the de-
velopment of the atomic bomb, is
inevitable. They are not bad and
science is not bad. Yet no one
knows if there would be life after
a total war utilizing these new
weapons.

This technological power is giv-

Trustee, Director

*., John §. Price III, of 824 Buck
Lane, Haverford, has been elected
a Trustee and Diregtor of Bryn
Mawr College, it has been an-
noymced by Charles J. Rhoads,
President of theTrustees. The
terms of the will of the founder of
the College provide that a Trustee
must be a member of the Society
of Friends. Mr. Price is a member
of the Haverford Meeting.

An alumnus of Princeton Uni-
versity, Class of 1944, Mr. Price,
82, is now the youngest member
on the Bryn Mawr Board.

Formerly with the Oxford Press
in New York and later with the

Heintz Manufacturing Company of
~Philadelphia,..Mr...Price is now a

manufacturers’ representative with
offices at 1414 South Penn Square.

He is married to the former
Martha Stokes, who is now enroll-
ed at Bryn Mawr-as a member of
the Class of 1958. Mrs. Price’s
father, the late Mr. J. Stogdell
Stokes, was a Trustee of the Col-
lege until his death. The Prices
have four children, three sons and
a daughter.

Mr. Price is on the Haverford
Friends School Committee, a mem-
ber of the Philadelphia Advisory
Committee for the Metropolitan
Opera, and the Princeton Club of
Philadelphia. |





en-to no one in particular—no_ one
of us has to determine the course
of human disaster; not even the

president of the United States can
‘control the power of science.

Even if the whole world were
modelled after the United States it
is not certain that disastrous deci-
sions would not be made. “It is
not an easy time, and in this time
it is a help that we can be friends
and brothers.”

Dr. Oppenheimer spoke on Tues-
day and Wednesday afternoons to
smaller groups composed of phys-
ics and politics majors.

Editors Announce
Merger Of Revues

Counterpoint and the Haverford
Revue will definitely merge, at
least on a temporary basis, editors
of the two literary magazines have
announced, The fall issue of the
magazine, which will be printed,
not mimeographed, will appear
around Thanksgiving.

No definite name for the maga-
zine has ibeen decided on, but Bryn
Mawr-Haverford Revue is being
considered as a title. The issue will
contain about 128 pages and will
cost 50 cents.

Haverford will furnish $280 for
the issue, ‘the amount allotted for
each issue of the Haverford Revue.
Bryn Mawr will furefish the bal-
ance, which is expected to be about
the same amount.

The two separate editorial boards
will select stories and poems to be
printed, as in the past. The four
editors, Donnie Brown, Connie Hor-
ton, Steve Sieverts and Stefan Cho-
dorov, will then read all accepted
material and give the final word of
approval.

Counterpoint’s ‘last issue sold
400: copies, and 150 copies of ‘the
last issue of the Revue were sold.
The editors hope to raise their
combined circulation to about 800
by merging and presenting a larg-
er and more interesting magazine.

The Bryn Mawr-Haverford Col-
lege Community Orchestra an-
nounces the first of a series of in-
formal concerts which it will spon-

Students Choose Co

Most members of the student
committee to study the size of the
college have been appointed or



elected by their classes.

Jane Keator, Molly Epstein,
Louise Todd and Virginia Arm-
strong will speak for the curric-
ulum committee.

The freshman class has elected

Chris Philpot and Nancy Lang to
represent them. Sophomore mem-
bers will be Betsy Nelson and
Anne Wake. As we go to press,

~) the juntor~class—hasnot_héld an

election.

The student committee will meet
soon with similar committees com-
posed of members of the faculty,
board of directors and alumnae as-
sociation.

_ The faculty committee, appoint-
ed about a, year ago by President
McBride, has already spent a great
deal of time studying the question
of Bryn Mawr’s size.

Members of this committee,
headed by Dean Marshall, are Mr.
Joseph Sloane, Mr. Ernest Berliner,

of West Africa.” ;

mmittee To Study

Question Of Increasing Size Of B. M. C.

Eleanor Bliss, dean of the graduate
school.
The faculty group began by con-

sidering the national scene, and by
finding out what comparable col-

leges had done about the situation

of an increasing number of appli-
cants for admission.

A~questionnaire was circulated

among .the faculty, to get their
opinions on the problem from the

standpoint of actual teaching. They
were asked how they felt their
work would be affected by an in-
crease of 15-20 per cent in the stu-

-dent. body.

Also, the faculty comrhittee-tried
to determine the possible effect of
such an increase on various facili-
ties, such as the library, infirmary,
laboratories, offices and residence
halls.

Although the committee has
spent some time evaluating the
answers received, it has not yet
drawn up a formal: recommenda-
tion. The group plans to offer its
ideas and conclusions to the other
committees as soon as a meeting
can be arranged.

Role Of Criticism

Perhaps one ‘of the difficulties of extra-curricular activi-
ties at a small college is that personalities and organizations
become so closely entwined that it is difficult to separate one

from the other.

The students are so well acquainted with

each other and live so closely together that a would-be critic
finds it difficult to be objective for fear of antagonizing or

hurting those around her.

At the same time, the group un-

der criticism finds it difficult to believe that the criticism is
directed not at them as people, but rather at their publica-
tion, or conference or class show. But it seems to us that the
spirit of inquiry and critical judgment should be as impor-
tant a part of the extra-curricular life of a college as it is of
the academic life of the individual student . We cannot prac-
tice integrity and critical thinking in the classroom, and then
put blinders over our eyes when we examine various student

activities, although admittedly it is more difficult to exercise
judgment and courage among our contemporaries than it is
when examining the theories of Thomas Hobbes.

The case in question is, of course, the News’ policy of re-

viewing class shows.

The News has three alternatives: to

overlook the faults of a production as inevitable and unim-
portant and to concentrate on its better points; to treat the
whole production as amateurish and unworthy of honest crit-
icism, a policy which the Haverford News seems to find en-
joyable; or to take the middle road, to comment on both the
good and the bad, with the desire to give praise where it is
due and criticism where it is felt improvement might be made
in the future. {We feel that this third alternative is infinite-
ly preferable; where we fail to achieve this aim, we, too, are

open to criticism.

But the criticism should be of the review-

er’s lack of fairness or lack of judgment, not of her decision

to criticize per se.

News reviews’ are of course the opinions of the review-
ers themselves, and not of the whole News staff. Reviewers
are picked not because their ideas are the same as those held
by the rest of the News, but because it is felt that they have
independence of judgment, fairness and a knowledge of the

theatre.

The mere tact that they may happen to disagree

with the majority of the college should not in itself be open
to criticism; if their judgment is felt to be unreasonable, then

the News itself is at fault.

. But if their judgments are reasonable and honest, then
the News feels that the reviews are of value to the college
community—not as the “tinal word” on the subject, but as
the considered judgment of a qualified student.

The Genius and the Goddess is a
brilliant work by one of the cen-
tury’s most prolific writers, Aldous

| Huxley. In its analysis of charac-

ter and its use of the English lan-
guage, the novel is a gem,

Henry Maartens, the demand-
ing, infantile scientific genius, and
his wife Kate, who is at once moth-
er-secretary, --womb-mistress to
him, are the center of the: story.
They are described “through the
wrong end of the opera glasses”
by John Rivers, a scientist who has
worked with Maartens and lived
with his family 30 years before.

Further, Complication |

Besides Henry and Kate, Rivers
encounters in the Maartens house-
hold, Ruth, who is suffering the
pangs of adolescence. She compli-
cates Rivers’ life by falling pas-
sionately, -painfully-in-love with
him.

The basis of the novel—around
which Huxley winds his sparkling
wit and serious ideas—is this:
Kate, emotionally and physically
exhausted from caring for her
mother, is called upon to nurse her
husband, who .has contracted a
case of psychosomatic pneumonia.

She is renewed by a brief affair
with Rivers, and gets what Huxley
calls “the virtue’—that surplus of
strength which enables her to cure
her husband.

Rivers’ reaction to the affair is
one of horror and remorse. Kate’s,
which earns for her the epithet of
goddess, is one of Olympian non-
chalance. She is aware, without
‘actually formulating the thought,
that the state of sexual fulfillment
is right and necessary if she is to
perform her strenuous duties in be-

The Genius And The Goddess—By A. Huxley

half of her infantile husband.

A bitter epilogue is. added:
Ruth is suspicious of, and wound-
ed by, Rivers’ obvious preference
of her mother. Distracted by her
daughter’s suspicions, Kate causes
her own death, and Ruth’s, in an
automobile accident.

The Genius and the Goddess is
worth reading for the story alone.
And added to this are a deep in-
sight into the make-up of three
human beings. Henry, Kate, and
Ruth are not extraordinary. person-
alities as they appear at the open-
ing of the book. But through mas-
terly treatment, the characters
which start out by being alfmost
commonplace finish by being strik-
ingly individual.

And the fact that they are de-
scribed by an author who is, for
the moment, almost a member of
their family, instead..of an all-see-
ing, disinterested bystander, adds
a great deal to their life-like qual-
ity.

Witty, Bitter Style

Only a series of quotations could
do justice to Huxleys’ style, which
is witty and frequently bitter. His
brief sketch of Kate, early in the
book, where he draws the whole
woman by describing her hands;
his revelation of’ Ruth’s problems
through snatches of her love-
poems; his comments on-life in
general through the mouth-piece
of Rivers, and above all his expo-
sition of Kate’s renewal through
adultery, must, of course, be read
in context. They give to the novel
that high polish which, added to
sound construction and an under-
standing of character, is proof of



the author’s genius.



To the Editor:

I note in the October 26 issue of
The College News that. substantial
space is devoted to discussions con-
cerning the size of the college.
Should it, in other words, be big-
ger, littler or similar? May I add
an Spinion?

First of all, increasing the en-
rollment increases the number of
students. This means that there
will be more people—all over the
place. They will get in each oth-
er’s way. Soon, many will be tram-
pled. Eating in shifts won’t help.
Hundreds won’t ever reach the
mess hall. They will eat squirrels.

A larger enrollment will also de-
crease the student-teacher ratio.
Instead of 12 teachers per student,
the ratio might sink to an unthink-
able 8:1. The same thing happened
at Smith. Need I say more?

One article points out that the
large schools are’ already big.
That’s-true:-But—do—the~larger
schools have to get bigger or the
bigger schools have to get larger?
Not necessarily. They can get
smaller and smaller and smaller
until they finally fold and, by vir-
tue of the fact that they no longer
exist, they’re the most EXCLU-
SIVE schools in the country!. But
then everyone at Bryn Mawr hates
to be exclusive.

I note that optimum enrollment,
as determined in studies at Hamil-



Harriet, is a freshman here, lives
in Haverford. She is a graduate
of the University of Pennsylvania,
where she is affiliated as a special-
ist in internal medicine.

Dr. Isaac Sharpless, also assist-
ant physician, will still be on ‘call
Tuesday and Thursday afternoons



and alternate weekends.

Students Find Show
Review Too Critical

Madam Editor:

We were extremely disappointed
with the manner in which The Col-
lege News critically reviewed the

Junior Show, Knock on Rock. In
this article, we failed to -see the
necessity of the offensive sarcasm
employed.

‘The remarks: “Perhaps the show
took the Dean’s office by storm be-
cause of the decidedly ‘hayseed’
quality of its few jests,” and
“homespun philosophy” — “big
souls in small bodies,” are indica-
tive of the uncalled for and ‘chip-

on-shoulder’ sarcasm which per-

vaded the review.
Honest, objective criticism is de-

sired, sought after, and appreciat-'

ed, but criticism merely for the
sake of-criticism. isnot!

P WAYS pie

serving or disillusioned Bryn
Mawrters have not realized before
how blessed we are to be in close
proximity to the Ivy League, the
November issue of Holiday devotes
many pages to the subject, rather
than giving us the details of life
in the Fiji Islands or some other
exotic place.

The general import of the three
stories is that Ivy..League men and
colleges are superior in every way
to any. other men or colleges in the
country. The articles; which deal.
with Ivy intellect, sports and so-
cial pastimes, are written by Ivy
League men (naturally), and con-
sequently must be taken cum
grano salis.

Superior Men?

But before you accept that invi-
tation to the Princeton-Yale game,
you should find out what to expect
from those Greek gods, those su-
perior men. Apparently apathy,
which “is as fundamental as his
flannels,” is the prime asset of an
Ivy Leaguer. It makes for spark-
ling conversation and much consid-
erate attention to one’s weekend
date. Just think what a strain it
must be to carry the girl’s suitcase
from the train station.

Apparently apathy even extends
to the football games, where
“Fight fiercely, Harvard!” is the
most spirited cheer that is forth-
coming. To show that Harvard is’
the epitome of a blase superiority
over the “sweat, blood and tears”
attitude found at college football
games in other sections of the
country, I shall quote from Holi-
day:

“. . »Harvard, as often happens,
found itself with a fourth down
and goal to go. The people around
had bestirred themselves to yell,
with some emotion,.‘We want a
touchdown! We want a _ touch-
down!’ when behind us a voice pip-
ed up, ‘But I say, fellows, do.we
really want a touchdown? I mean
think it over’.” This is football? I
mean think it over, isn’t it more
like making the other team a pres-
ent. of the game, which really isn’t
at all sporting.

Somehow, from the beginning
football has apparently shocked
the Harvard sense of propriety.
After a knock-down-drag-out bat-
tle with Yale in 1881, the Harvard
newspaper said, “Yale did not try
to maim our men as much as she
usually does, and the second inning
was to all appearances gentleman-
ly throughout. It is felt by nearly
all Harvard men that Yale plays
more violently than is necessary or
in good taste. ... There is no ex-
cuse for the use of teeth in foot-
ball.” Which pretty well covers
that subject.

Now, in ease you happen to go
down to Princeton, you should
know the origin of the clubs. Ac-
tually the clubs are an excellent
solution to a problem present at
Bryn Mawr and many other
worthy institutions today (food).
“Tn 1879 some Princeton _men
fought a duel in the dining hall—
chicken croquettes at twenty paces
—and, banished from there, set up
the Ivy Club as a place to eat. Ivy
was the first of seventeen eating
clubs at Princeton.”

But one last word of warning
fabout Ivy League weekends. Ac-
cording to Holiday, “The kind of
fun an Ivy Leaguer likes is un-
organized and downright anarchis-
tic.” This leaves lots of room for
all sorts of parties, so be prepared.

The Ivy League even gives us
the true answer as to what is
wrong with Haverford men. In
such a small college, Ivy Leaguers
claim, he is “bored by the monot-
ony and limitations of his environ-
ment.” Actually that isn’t too
complimentary to Bryn Mwar. But
|of course, boredom works both

THE COLLEGE NEWS

Wednesday, November 2, 1955



Dugdale Appears On “Monitor”
To Discuss Munger’s Visit To B. M. C.

“Bryn Mawr has been tied, how-
ever tenuously, to the Ivy League,”
declared John Franklin of Radio
Station KYW.

The occasion for this statement
was the appearance of Betsy Dug-
dale, President of the A.A., and
George Munger, Athletic Director
at the University of Pennsylvania,
on “Monitor.” “Monitor” is'a na-
tionwide NBC radio presentation
which runs throughout Saturday
and Sunday, specializing in brief
reports on news and _ happenings
throughout the world. Betsy and
Mr. Munger will appear on the
program this weekend as a result
of Mr. Munger’s speech at Bryn
Mawr explaining the principles of
football. Mr. Munger is speaking
here tonight at 8:30 in the gym.

The radio appearance is the re-

sult of a humorous editorial in the|

Philadelphia Inquirer, praising
Bryn Mawr’s decision to invite Mr.
Munger. Betsy noted that when
Mr. Franklin of KYW read the edi-
torial he immediately called her
and asked her to appear on the
program.

Betsy and‘Miss Carol Biba, Di-
rector of Public Relations, went to
Station KYW, and Betsy recorded
a three-minute discussion. with

Dems And Reps
Help At Election

A few members of Bryn Mawr’s
newly organized Young Democrats
and Republicans have been contrib-
uting their time and efforts to the
Philadelphia election campaign.
The chief contest Tues., Noy. 8,
will be between Democrat Richard-
son Dilworth and Republican That-
cher Longstreth.

The Young Democrats, under
Charlotte Graves, have spent sever-
al evenings passing out literature
in the Germantown residential dis-
trict and in the center of Philadel-
phia. A few members have work-
ed on sound trucks in the city. With
a similar organization from Hav-
erford College, the Young Demo-
crats are working directly under
the “Independents for Dilworth
and Blanc.”

Following the election, when
many of the Democrats will give
more of their time, the party plans
to organize a program for discus-
sion of politics. by student Demo-
crats. Anyone who is interested
is asked to contact Charlotte.
Graves in Rockefeller.

The Bryn Mawr College Repub-
licans, organized this year for the
first time, have not responded with
similar enthusiasm, They plan to
work in the Bryn Mawr area on
election day, and hope to increase
their membership as the year pro-
gresses. The head of this group,
Martha Thomas of Denbigh, will
be glad to see anyone interested in
joining the Republican organiza-
tion.

Chapel speaker for Sun., Nov. 6,

Munger and Franklin. They dis-
cussed the reasons for Mr. Mun-
ger’s visit; he. explained that he
“thoroughly approves of grand-
stand quarterbacks.” — Betsy an-
swered a few questions, which had
been prepared in advance, and al-
though she tried to say something
to “build up the prestige of Bryn
Mawr,” she found she didn’t have
time to work it in.

Betsy felt that Mr. Munger en-
joyed the whole experience, al-
though he was confused by Miss
Biba. “Who was she, the athletics

. ad
director or a dramatic coach?” het

asked.

During his speech tonight, -Mr.
Munger will show films of Penn-
sylvania football games, and will
be assisted by a football official.

Ghosts, goblins and all sorts of
Hallowe’en characters turned out
in full force as gaily costumed fac-

thronged to Rhoads for the annual
