Patrick Malin
To Speak Here

“The Next Twenty-five Years In
Free Speech, Due Process, And
Equal Protection,’’ will be the topic
of a lecture to be given by Patrick
Murphy Malin in the Common
Room at 4 p.m. Thursday, February
5, it was announced by Dr. Roger.
Wells, head of the Political Science

Mr. Malin was formerly a mem-
ber of the department of economics
at Swarthmore, and since 1950 has
been the executive director of the
American Civil Liberties Union in
New York City. This meeting is to
be sponsored by the Political Sci-



Mme. Jambor and Mr. Alwyne





The task of the critic;-said Dr.
Milton Nahm in a lecture on “The
Fine Art of Criticism” delivered
under the joint auspices of the
Arts Forum and the Philosophy
Club, is scarcely less formidable
than that of the artist, for, like
the other fine arts, criticism to be
good must be creative and origin-
al.

In support of this view, he quot-
ed Mrs. Katherine Gilbert who
said that to achieve sucessful crit-
icism which adds to the apprecia-
tion of a work and sharpens the
image created by an artist the
critic must create something new
rather than merely seek what is
hidden in the original work.

This tenet is not, however, uni-
versally accepted. To illustrate
another view, one with which he
is not im complete accord, Dr.
Nahm quoted E. M. Forster who
feels that criticism is “grotesque-
ly .removed from _ creativity.”
“Think before you speak, is the
critic’s motto, speak ‘before you
think is creation”, said Forster,
echoing Plato’s theory of the in-
spired but ignorant poet.

Workmen Shovel Around The Clock
To Replace Destroyed Conveyor Belts

Christmas vacation came to the
brink of an indefinite extension in
its last moments, as the reveille of
fire engine gongs awoke the few
sleepers on a near-deserted campus
the last Sunday of vacation. A sud-
den fire in the power house was the
cause of unwonted alarm among
members of the administration ex-
pecting a relatively peaceful return
to normal. Faculty in near-by Low
Buildings were more immediately
alarmed-and-as the flames shot up
to fifteen feet, they began to gather
children and catalogue their mov-
able possessions. __

Two fire engines roared onto the
campus at six fifteen, and firemen

began to quench the blaze which
had started in the elevator shaft,
and, in spite of all efforts, lasted

stately elevator shaft is the chim-
ney .which is used to draw up coal

power house. In the fire the con-
veyor belts which raise the coal
were destroyed.

The miracle of the still-hissing
radiators was totally owing to
workmen who worked twenty-four
hours a day in four-man shifts

{shoveling coal into the furnace. On

the first day they had to fling the
coal into a door high over their
heads. On the second day they built
a chute and continued shoveling
down from the top. These men
shovelled forty tons of coal a day
—a small feat for an elevator no
doubt, but-a-major accomplishment
for the workmen. Sustained with
coffee from the halls, and perhaps
some traces of the Christmas spirit,
the good-natured workmen with-
stood the labor which was abso-

Nahm Sees Creativity, Originality
Of Great Importance in Criticism

er or not criticism can be creative,
one must go to the origin of the
problem; one must discover. if.even
art itself is actually creative and
original. Plato, who expounded the
first theory of aesthetics, thought
not, Allsart is imitation he says,
and the artist’s task is merely that
of holding a mirror up to nature.

Using slides to. illustrate — var-
ious points, Dr. Nahm proceeded
to outline further Plato’s views
on art. There is an Absolute Beau-
ty, says Plato, created by God
and visible only to the rational
thinker who employs the particular
beauties of the earth as a ladder

to reach it. Only pure mathemat-
ical forms, like the line, the cube
and the circle, often represented
on contemporary cubistic art, can
themselves take part in this beau-
ty. Plato speaks of poetry as a
gift of the muses, but goes on to
state that beauty can be attained
only through
problem of whether art is actually
the product of reason or that of
inspiration figures prominently in
the illustrative slides employed
in the lecture.

History teaches us, said Dr.Nahm,
intelligibility and perfection. The
artist strives for what ought to be—
intelligibility. His principal value is
recognition. Said Coleridge, “the
artist embodies all ancient myths
and legends; the intelligibility of
his art depends on symbols.” Im-
portant examples of this universal
symbolism such as the trees of life
and death, the bearded personifica-

Two Pianists Conquer Music From Bach
Totindemith;PreserveMagnificentBlend

by Allison Baker
(with thanks also to Anne Farlow)

The absolute.musical contact be-
tween Mme. Jambor-and--Mr. Al-
wyne last Friday night, as they
sat far separated by the length of
two grand pianos, was to me ex-
traordinary, and a tribute to both
the musicians. Mme. Jambor’s
piano was closed, but she counter-
acted this by more forceful play-
ing, so that in the resulting bal-
ance the two pianos were often
indistinguishable.

Schumann’s Andante

Schumann’s Andante and Varia-
tions, Op. 46, seems to me to suf-
fer from his tendency to repeat
rather than develop themes. This,
of course, is also a characteristic
intrinsic in the Variation Form,
and even further intensified in ‘the
two piano medium, where every
bit of the theme or variations is
played first on one piano and then
on the other. It was interesting,
however, in such a piece, to com-
pare the two players. They had
worked out their interpretation
of the music to such an accord,
that the liquid romantic melodies
seemed almost continuous as they
shifted from one piano to the oth-
er.

Contrasts of Pianists

Mme. Jambor and Mr. Alwyne
are complete opposites as one
views. their stance at the piano.
He uses no other medium than his
fingers. in ‘bringing out musical
expression, whereas she ‘reflects in
her whole person every aspect of
the music. This difference, how-
ever, was purely visual; the ex-
pression of the resulting music

DuPont Grants

$4000 To B.M.C.
For Science Dept.

Bryn Mawr has received a grant
of $4000 from the Du Pont Company
which, continuing its annual. pro-
gram of aid to education, awarded
grants totaling $696,000 to various
colleges and universities.

This program is directed toward
fundamental research and_ the
strengthening of the teaching of
science and related liberal arts.

This year DuPont has nearly
doubled its grants for unrestricted
research in the physical sciences
because of the growing need for
work in this area and the flexibil-
ity of this form of support.

The grant to Bryn Mawr will go
to support the teaching of science
and mathematics as well as other
subjects. The grant consists of
$2500 for the department of chem-
istry and $1500 for other courses.

The colleges receiving these
grants were chosen on their records
of strength in chemical education,
and the grants were awarded with
a view to helping them maintain
their success in the field.

Taylor Initiates

Fire Drill Plans

A fire drill plan for evacuation
of Taylor will go into effect Mon-
day, January 12. New signs will
be in each room giving directions
on how to leave.

This action is prompted by the
fire drill in Taylor Tuesday, De-
cember 9. The drill took place
at 10:50, first surprising and then
confusing everyone. No one seem-
ed to have any idea how to walk
to the nearest (and proper) exit.

Mrs. Paul and Weecha Busé,
head ‘fire captain of the college,
decided, following this occurrence,

+to put signs in every room beside

the door with exact directions on
how to get out. “These directions
must be obeyed to the letter’, says
Weecha,

Students in rooms A and B are
to leave by the senior steps. Rooms
F and S only will use the fire es-
capes. Other directions are, as we
say, posted.

Weecha adds that she hopes the
profesors will not be so amazed



next time.

When the President of Bryn Mawr enters upon her sab-
batical leave next semester—if the first leave in fifteen years
can be called a sabbatical—and visits colleges and universi-
ties throughout the country, she will be welcomed as a lead-
ing figure in higher education. Since Miss McBride was ap-
pointed president in 1942 she has devoted her full time to
the increasing duties of a college president, yet her activ-
ities and interests have extended far beyond the range of the
college. The many positions she has held show how widely
her qualities of imagination and leadership have been recog-
nized.

Among her many. duties, Miss McBride is a trustee of
Radcliffe College and the University of Pennsylvania. She is
a member of committee of the National Science Foundation
nd of_a committee of the Institute for International Educa-
tion. Recently Miss McBride was elected to an unlimited
term as honorary member-at-large of the College Board, of
which she was at one time chairman. In the spring of 1956

President Eisenhower made her a member of the President’s
Committee on Education Beyond the High School.

Some of us as undergraduates may not be generally
familiar with these or the many other positions of responsi-
bility our president holds, but all of us appreciate Miss Mc-
Bride for her “commitment to education”, and for her con-
fidence in us as responsible individuals, as students who
must determine the goals of our own education and as mem-
bers of a self-governing community. We extend our best
wishes for her long overdue “sabbatical”.

_ Hospitality With. Vengeance

When Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan stepped
off a plane in New York on January 4 he was met by Soviet
officials on mission in this country, better than a hundred
and fifty policemen, State Department bodyguards, and a
handful of Hungarians who offered graphic insults. The
amassed pickets and demonstrators of the American Feder-
ation of Hungarians had been diverted by a ruse. Safely in
Washington, Mikoyan was threatened by a streetlight»which
toppled in his path; however, when he. started out on an
“amity tour” of the United States, trouble recurred. In
Cleveland, his first whistle-stop, the visitor was greeted with
rocks, shouts, spitting-and an occasional rotten egg. It was
snowballs in Detroit; signs carried by students in Chicago;
a bomb scare and more eggs and rocks in San Francisco. All
this brought forth a call to courtesy from President Eisen-
hower, and from the president of the Federation of Hungar-
ian Former Political Prisoners this statement: “We are very
polite to Mr. Mikoyan—nobody has thrown a bomb.”

The responsibility for this shameful rudeness appar-
ently rests almost entirely on Hungarian groups, which
makes it perhaps more excusable though certainly injudici-
ous. But if we incline to be shocked and shunt. off. the re-
sponsibility, we might remember that it is only five years
since the heyday of McCarthy, Capehart, and Jenner, when
so many were guilty of crimes against goodwill far more
serious than these.. Hospitality is not merely a matter of
fetes and tours of automobile plants, nor of abstaining from

Now is the winter of our dis-
content beginning to have its little
repercussions, and they are per-
cussioning all over the place. True,
one usually compares a cold’s more
audible effects to the music made
by the brass section of the orches-
tra—hence a cold victim may be
said to blow his own trumpet—but
do consider, next time you hear the
low, hoarse tomtom of the cough or
the cymbal clash of the sneeze, and
you will agree that one has every
right, especially if one is hard up
for a pun, to take note of the un-
usual number of percussionists on
campus at this time of year.

They form a kind of secret soci-
éty, flying banners of white, pink,
yellow, and blue Kleenex. Whether
or not they sing during their nor-
mal lives, they are now most ac-
complished musicians, and cough in
rounds without need of a director,
sometimes producing involved bits
of harmony which make the Sextet
from Lucia sound like Three Blind
Mice,

Like secret societies, too, they fill
their conversations with phrases
intelligible only to the initiated:
“I’m back on chlortrimeton,” “I
take the black and gold ones,”
“Chlortetracycline Hydrocloride for
me.” The awkwardness of these
code words is clearly one reason
why the Croup Group canhot be, as
some maintain, a front for danger-
ous political activities. Besides the
fact that its membership is con-
stantly changing, if the workers of
the world do not unite until their
leader pronounces the words “Di-
hydrocodeinone Bitartrate” it is
evident that the Welfare State is a
long way. off.

The cold is called common, but
that is a misnomer: listen to any
group of sufferers describing their
ailments and it becomes plain that
no two. are alike, although each
victim has of course the worst case
in medical history. Opinions are
divided on how to cure it. An apple
a day does not keep the doctor
away, but other suggestions are
organic gardening, garlic pills, and
vinegar.

The period from January 6 to
February 12 is a bare and blank
one, as far as holidays are con-
cerned, so here is a suggestion
which, if enough people petition
Congress, may make a break in the
unrelieved monotony of the time.
Let a day. be consecrated to cold
sufferers, a day on which you may
sneeze’ unashamedly in_ lectures
and concerts, when they-may~re-
ceive the sympathy that is other-
wise denied them. Let every com-
munity festoon its streets with
garlands of Kleenex, let the foun-
tains run Alka Seltzer, and neon
signs saying “Gesundheit” appear
on house-fronts. Let Santa Claus
be brought. back from the Pole to
distribute free aspirin, and preside
at a banquet where the guests
would be allowed to sample every
imaginable kind of pill and carry
on long, fascinating conversations
about which has done the most for
them in the past.

“T bropose a dost—to all victibs

News’ Editor Has
Ranaeof lnterests

by Lois Potter

The new editor in chief of the
News, Betsy Levering ’61, hails
from a mountain at Ararat, in the
south of Virginia, “a region whose
chief agricultural products are
apples and children’—and, Betsy
adds, “my family has made gener-
ous contributions to the supply of”

both.” She attended a coeducational
Friends’ boarding school in West-
town, Pennsylvania, where she was
managing editor of the paper.

Betsy declined to announce how
she plans to change the News, say-
ing, “I think I’d rather do it insidi.
ously. It seems pretty silly to start
your term of office by announcing
how much better everything is
going to be under you, and then
have it turn out ten times worse,
with’ the News not coming out ’till
Friday, and with nothing in it ex-
cept Bureau of Recommendations’
announcements.”

Journalism Later

Extremely interested in political
science, Betsy plans to be a history
major because she feels that “polit-
ical science without a solid back-
ground in history is barren.’”’ She
does not plant to make a career of
journalism, “at least, not immedi-
ately. After college, I’ll probably
go to law school or do graduate
work in international law. And
then, maybe, journalism.”

Betsy’s writing for the News has
ranged from humorous features to
reviews to straight news to editor-
ials, but she does not eonsider her-
self interested in creative writing
(“I wrote some poetry in high
school, but I took a look at it the
other day .. .”). “I’m afraid I
think of writing as a means to an
end, and use it for rabble-rousing,
great declamations, sometimes even
to fumble through an idea.”

Weapons and Henry Ford

An example of this kind of writ-
ing is what Betsy was doing last

summer, A General Motors’ execu-|

tive with theories on the problem
of the arms’ race hired Betsy to
write them up and travel around
che East and Midwest trying to sell
them to eminent journalists, poli-
ticians, and military technicians.
“The result of it all,” Betsy says,
‘was a radically new and totally
impractical weapons system to
solve the problem of retaliation
after the effects of a first attack.”
She spent part of her time trying
to convince Henry Ford, through
his assistants, that he should go
to Russia to confer with Khrush-
chev. He finally did go, though “not
because of my efforts.”

The next piece on the program
was two movements from a Hin.
demith Sonate, written in 1942.
The two movements were a Reci-

and a Fugue. Hindemith’s rhythms
are very complex, but never did

audacious, and its difficulties were
intensified by the fact that, due to
lack of space on Goodhart stage,
the first and second violins had
their backs to the pianos. The
concerto is in three movements:
Allegro, Adagio, and Allegro. It
is to my. mind.an exciting piece of

music, and any difficulties in bal-|-

in this performance.

|were the members of the class of

1957 and 1958. Of the 292° sur-
veyed, 116 were working full time
on their first jobs, and 120 were
taking further training. Of the
total group, 94 were married at the
time of the survey and of these,
two-thirds were working or study-
ing, while the remainder of the
married group was at home.

Teaching ranked highest in the
list of occupations, with 53 of the
graduates, all of whom hold A.B.
degrees, teaching or preparing to
teach. The teaching assignment
varied from an apprentice in the
lower grades in an _ elementary
school to a graduate assistant in a
large university.

Public school teaching, according
to the report, was one of the high-
est paid occupations for beginning
positions, second only to scientific
and technical opportunities.

Among those taking jobs in the
scientific field was a physics major
working in a radiation laboratory
in the Far West. Nine of the 61
students who majored in science
at Bryn Mawr were in industrial
research. Seven were engaged in
research in hospitals and public
health, and eight were beginning as
social workers.

Further study, largely in gradu-
ate schools, occupied: the full time
of 103 of the graduates, with eleven
enrolled in medical schools in this
country. Seventeen were combining
study and a part-time job. Gradu-
ate schools both here and abroad
were widely represented, including
such foreign institutions as the
School of Oriental Languages in
Paris, Cambridge . University in
England and the Universities of
Madrid, Lausanne, Vienna and
London. In the group were four
Fulbright scholars, a Marshall Fel-
low and seven Woodrow Wilson
Fellows.

Next, after teaching and research
in industry and government, the
A.B.’s are most numerous in sec-
retarial and miscellaneous office
positions, in publishing and public
relations, insurance and banking,
retailing, and museum work.

Dr. Watson has insured the Vaux
Collection for $100,000, “though it’s
worth more than that.” The speci-
mens have a great scientific as well
as aesthetic value, since they in-
clude many minerals whose atomic
structure has not yet been de.

Mr. George Vaux Jr. (1863-1927),
a wealthy Quaker lawyer, philan-
thropist, and collector, sent expedi-
tions all over the world to gather
rare minerals which he kept in his
home (now the Social and Econ-
nomics Building). Eastern North
America, and this region in par-
ticular, is especially well repre-

sented in his collection; many sam-*

ples come from quarries long since

over shimmering open harmonies.

It seems, to conclude from Fri-
day night’s performance, that the
discipline of two pianos, rather
than restricting either of the play-
ers, brought out their best in vi-
tality and expression.

The program, aside from being
well-executed, was also varied,
catering, no doubt, to Mme. Jam-

‘Powerhouse Fire

Continued from Page 1, Col. 2

The power house was provided
with new motors for the rebullt
elevator shaft and a new roof to
replace the one which was burned.

Returning students were warned
to keep their windows shut and
conserve heat for a day or two until
the repairs were completed. In re-

those who learned about the fire
came always the reassuring re-
sponse, “The smoke stack still

Radical Education Project Ventured

In May of 1956, Sidney R. Pack-
ard, Coordinator of Smith, Am-
herst, Mt. Holyoke, and the Uni-

versity. of Massachusetts, commis-
sioned the Four Colleges to “devel-
op the plans for a new experiment-
al college aimed at producing edu-
cation of the highest quality at a
minimum cost per student and
with as small a faculty relative to
the size of the student body as
new methods of instruction and
new administrative procedures can
make possible.”

On the basis of that letter and

bination of large lecture classes
and small seminar groups. Stu-
dents will take three courses dur-
ing two of the three terms, fresh-
men in the fields of social science,
humanities, and science, wupper-
classmen in advanced fields which
they will program themselves. All
four classes will unite-for the mid-
winter term, which will offer two

Examinations will be taken in a
particular field of interest rather
than a general area.

The committee stresses that one
vital feature of New College is to
be its dependence‘ on the Four
Colleges. New College students
will be required to take at least
one course at one of the other col-
leges during their four years of
study, and will make use of their
libraries for the independent work
which is to form the major part of
the program.

The development of responsibil-
ity is stressed: thus there are no
requirements in such subjects as
physical education or. languages,
which the committee feels will be
learned more eagerly if they are
learned voluntarily. Religious and
extra-curricular life will also de-
pend on student initiative: there
will be no organized athletics, no
fraternities or sororities, no re-
quired chapel attendance.

The College is to be coeducation-
al and residential, with large din-
ing halls and dormitories of under
75 students each. The faculty rath-
er than the board of directors will
choose the president.

The committee feels that New
College students should have no
difficulty gaining admission to
graduate schools, that on the con-
trary their training in independent
study will be better preparation
for them than a more traditional
curriculum. They also point out
advantages for the faculty in the
more concentrated program which
will make it possible for faculty
members to teach the subjects
they know best rather than try to
cover a broad area. The mid-win-
ter term will also offer many of
them an opportunity. for research
of their own.
