Dean Speaks At Opening Assembly;
Cites Values Of The ‘Small College’

Mrs. Marshall opened the second
semester at an assembly at which
she discussed the values and pur-
poses of the “small college.” This
type of college, which.can range
in size from 200 to 3,000 students
must reexamine its values, consid-
ering neither “tradition nor senti-
ment,” and realizing that the anh-
swer revolves around “quality not
quantity.”

Bryn Mawr, with a present un-
dergraduate student body of 628,
160 graduate students and a fac-
ulty of 90, is “definitely a small
college.” This is not because of
its size but rather because of four
of its characteristics the student-
faculty ratio, student-faculty rela-
tions, the physical set-up and the
sense of community.

The student-faculty ratio at
Bryn Mawr is 8:1 or less. This ra-
tio fluctuates from year to year
for the individual student, and is
better when she concentrates on a
major field.

Mrs. Marshall. feels that stu-
dent-faculty relations can be
worthwhile when there is a “mu-
tual concern for learning, a com-
mon interest in the college’s rea-
son for existence.” The develop-
ment of this is the basis for gen-
uine relations without.- artificia!
social structures or an advisory
system substituting for this mu-
tual concern.

Bryn Mawr’s physical set-up—
its small halls, its individual din-
ing halls, its open library and: th
small, and large meeting .places—
also. helps to make it a small
school. These things contribute to
the fourth advantage which Bryn
Mawr as a small school possesses,
its sense of community.

By sense of community, Mrs.
Marshall does not mean 'a common
pattern for all individuals, but free
choice for the student to make his
own pattern and his own mistakes.



vidual organizations, each of which

forms part of the whole.

It is self-government which
unites the student community and
which on occasion rouses it to com-

mon action, whether on faculty].

show or a tonger spring vacation.

All these advantages are within
the reach of everyone, Mrs. Mar-
shall concluded, and can be main-
tained even with gradual expan-
sion in size.

Alliance Planning
Political Projects

The Bryn Mawr Alliance is ex-
perimenting with a new organiza-
tional set-up for its political ac-
tivities. The various clubs now
sponsored by the Alliance are of-
ten lacking in both membership

and interest, the Alliance Board

feels.

The plan is now for the Board
itself to initiate political projects
and appoint temporary committees
to work on these projects. If a
committee is found to meet an in-
terest need of a large number of
students, it may become a perma-
nent organization. But the empha-
sis on initiating action has been
transferred somewhat from club
heads to the Board itself. The
Board is composed of the presi-
dent, vice-president and secretary
of the organization, two represent-
atives from each residence hall and
the various club presidents.

wnew projects are already
under il el ated. nding to
Alliance President Sheppie Glass.
The organization hopes to sponsor
mock primaries for both Demo-
cratic and Republican students
during the spring.

Informal discussion. groups on
political topics such as United
States foreign policy and public

ucation, are being considered by
the Board. The discussions would
be led by students and would be
“informal but informed.”



N.S. A. Backs Up

In Letter To University Of Alabama

The National Student Associa-
tion has taken a stand affirming
that the Board of Trustees of the
University of Alabama should al-
low Autherine J. Lucy, the first
Negro student at the University, to
return to class, and that the Uni-
versity and the State of Alabama
should restore order for the pro-
tection of Miss Lucy. and all the
students at the University of Ala-
bama. Bryn Mawr is a member of
this organization.

The Association has written to
the student government at the
University commending their un-
animous stand in opposing mob
violence on their campus and Tg
ing them to take a stand in sup-
port of the reinstatement of Miss

to all forms of discrimination in
education which are based on race,
religion and national origin.”

In a letter to the heads of the
student bodies of member schools,
Stanford L. Glass, president of the
organization, futher stated: “We
regret that even a few American
students have given their support
and participation to expression of
mob violence and prejudice. We
further regret that the pressure



of.this lawless action apparently



Autherine Lucy

has resulted in the exclusion of
this student from class attendance.”

Walter Flower, head of the stu-
dent body at the University of Ala-
bama, commented on the events on
his campus in answer to a query
from N.S.A. He stated: “An air of
tension and expectancy still pre-
vails on campus. The return of the
Negro student seems_ inevitable.
The situation that is present will
be met in the best possible manner
by all student organization. In the
meantime, the appeal has gone out
to the students from the faculty in
the classrooms, from the Student
Government Association and from

e administration of the Univer-
3it¥ to think and act maturely in
any situation that may arise. The
solution we feel lies in_mass_edu-.
zation of. the South to the terrific
problem of segregation. We ask
for patience, we ask for under-
standing and we ask for a correct
interpretation of this unique situ-
ation. It is a ,case of democracy
versus mob rule, and the students
want democracy.”

In line with this and other angles
of the current controversy on in-
tegration in the schools, The News
has presented on page three the





‘ Freshman Show in Rehearsal



By Ann Harris

Dr. Erich Fromm, noted psycho-
analyst-author of Escape from
Freedom and The Sane Society,
gave Friday evening from his busy
schedule as Philips Lectiifer at
Haverford, to the Bryn Mawr-
Haverford Psychology Club.

Although Dr. Fromm did not
agree to be interviewed at a press
conference for the Philadelphia pa-
pers, he answered students’ ques-
tions willingly and thoughtfully.
Dr. Fromm said that he had form-
ed his diagnosis of society «as
“sick” from his observations of it,
and from his ¢linical practice as a
psychoanalyst.

He feels that the main cure for
the sick society would be an en-
lightened educational program.
“Why not have school courses on
hate and prejudice? Teach and
discuss the origins of hate, the
causes of it, and the results of it,”
he said. He stressed that this type
of curriculum could be taught on
several levels, beginning in’ the
early elementary grades. He feels
that the most important thing to
be learned, and the thing which is
not being taught, is how to live
productively and with understand-
ing of oneself and others.

When asked about the problem
of having to put the individual
who has been* enlightened or cured
back into the sick society, Dr.
Fromm replied that this is a pseu-
do-problem, because if the individ-
ual has really learned how to live

ically healthy, he can make his
own way through the sick society
without being susceptible to its
corruptions.

When someone objected to his
insistence on the urgency of the
problems in society, because civili-
zation has @xisted for many years
with similar problems, Dr. Fromm
asserted that, although we have
progressed scientifically to the
point where we can blow the world
to bits with the atomic bomb, we

Freshman Show To Give New View On Bees;
Unrivalled Revolt Occurs In “The Apian Way”

as a tree stump hive beside the
new discoveries which the fresh-
man class will bring to light on
Goodhart stage Friday and Satur-
day. They have the latest on prog-
ress, culture and organization in

|The Apian Way.

A bee, you will find, is-not just
another old bee; in fact he may be
a Queenery .bee or even a Bee-
homeian bee. The difference will
amaze you wnen members of two
worlds meet on a dandeiion and

sure class emerging. It’s greater

the trees”; we are still in the
Stone Age psychologically, as evi-

and immaturely by such means as
wars.
One of Dr. Fromm’s criticisms of
our society hinges on the fact that
people, in order to be successful,
miust market their personalities.
The doctor must have a “pleasing”
personality, as must people in all
professions and occupations. Thus
the “pleasing” personality tends to
become stereotyped. Dr. Fromm.
also pointed out that it is very dif-
ficult; if not impossible, in this day
and age, to be financially success-
ful and honest at the same time.
All these factors mean that the
person cannot be himself.
As another example, Dr. Fromm
commented that today’s newspaper
reader has a difficult time trying
to think independently; he must be
courageous if he is to reach his
own decisions. The papers of .100
years ago carried no headlines, and
the reader was expected to read
everything and decide the relative
importance of each article. But
today’s: glaring captions and slant-
ed writing often discourage the
reader from deciding that the lit-
tle article buried on page three
may be of importance for him.
_In order to illustrate his idea
that we must not be too absolute
or rigid in a condemnation of so-

Wells’ story of the sighted man
who, wandering into a blind soci-
ety, was considered abnormal, but
fortunately escaped before the so-
ciety “cured” him of the strange
lumps on his face by removing
them. : Sd

Dr. Fromm, then, while being
very concerned about the present
state of society, does not go so far
as to paint a totally black picture
of society, but even objects to con-
cepts which are “black and white”

“Brains Not Bricks”

The problems of ever-increasing college enrollment were
discussed recently by Henry Steele Commager in an article
in the Sunday New York Timés Magazine. The thesis of Mr.
Commager’s article was that the real problem in education is
one of “brains, not bricks.” |The United States is wealthy
enough, he feels, to provide the material requirements needed
for new students; the difficult question is how to secure the |

teachers and administrators hecessary not merely to main-
tain present academic standards, but to raise them.

The author offers a number of suggestions: de-empha-
size the lecture system; offer fewer highly specializéd cours-
es; reduce educational “paraphernalia,’ such as examinations,
grades, and required courses in the academic field, and also
extra-curricular activities and big-time atheltics. The cen-
tral point of his program is that the students be given much
more responsibility for educating themselves.

Bryn Mawr is doubtless immune from many of the crit-
icisms made of present American academic institutions. But
we feel she still possesses a number of weak spots that should
not be glossed over by comparing Bryn Mawr favorably to
other colleges and universities. To Bryn Mawr students, it
- does not particularly matter that Bryn Mawr is superior to
others, if she is still imperfect herself.

In light of Mr. Commager’s article we would like to lump
together several suggestions we have as to Bryn Mawr’s aca-
demic organization. We would like to see considered: (1) a
revision of some required introductory courses, (2) a de-em-
phasis on marks, with student’s work being criticized and
evaluated, but with fewer and less specific numerical grades,
(3) a realization that in general the more that a professor
expects of a student, the better will be her work. Some cours-
es demand a great deal of original thinking and hard work
on the part of the student; many do not. On the whole, we
feel that the former are infinitely preferred by the Bryn
Mawrter. ss

Unscheduled Exams

Bryn Mawr, quietly, without fuss and bother, has insti-
tuted and maintained a successfully operating academic honor
system. Because of this success, we feel that one needed ex-
tension is possible, and should be seriously considered.

A flaw in the present arrangement is the scheduling of
final exams by the administration. This scheduling often
makes an examination a test, not so much of a_ student's
knowledge and ability, as of his exam schedule—the time it
allows for catching up on reading, cramming and (most cru-
cial) sleeping. This ‘scheduling of exams could be eliminated
without changing the present’way of taking finals. Under
this arrangement students could register for exams before
exam week, stating on which day they would like to take each
test, and then writing the exam in rooms in Taylor, Dalton,
or Park, in a limited three-hour period.
--Administration-of the exam.could be hahdled by. student
proctors, as it is now, except that these students would both
nd collect blue books and exam papers, sorting
the blue books after the exam and giving them to each pro-
fessor. The exam rooms could be arranged according to de-
partments to make this job easier. = ©

This system would lay more real trust on the individual
_ student than the present angement does, as students
_ would be relied upon to. tain strict confidence about all
exams they have taken. Our success in proctoring our exams,

_and the complete student support of the present responsibil-
ity helps prove that we are ready to attempt this. The change

To the Editor of the News:

After Dr. Erich Fromm’s lecture
Friday evening at Haverford,
there was a long question period.
One of the questions was asked by
a man far in the back of the down-
stairs. His question was a long
one; the audience became restless.
But the man talked on. He would
phrase the question one way,
pause, then phrase it another way.
The audience became annoyed.

‘Then Dr. Fromm began to an-

swer, but prefaced his answer by
remarking that he would try to
give a “brief” reply. A storm of
laughter and applause broke out
from the audience. Dr. Fromm,
who could see the speaker, apolo-
getically explained that he did not
mean to imply that the question:
was a bad one. But the rudeness
of the audience was reflected in
the face of the man who stood em-
barrassed, in the back of Roberts
Hall, waiting for the reply.

None of the people who demon-
strated this remarkably immature
rudeness knew that the man was
blind, that he had asked the ques-
tion in a prolonged manner be-
cause he could not see that Dr.
Fromm was merely. considering
how to answer him, and not ‘wait-
ing for him to clarify himself fur-
ther, and that he was not ‘able to
see the audience reaction to his
question.

Brancusi Exhibition
Opens At Museum

The Philadelphia Museuem of
Art opened on Jan. 27 an exhibi-
tion of the work of Constantin
Brancusi, pioneer sculptor of ab-
stract forms. The _ exhibition,
which ‘will close Feb. 26, includes
loans from the great collections of
Brancusi’s work, both here and
abroad, and the artist himself has
lent a large group of works.

Brancusi is 79 years old and liv-
ing in Paris. He was a student of
Rodin but early turned to the op-
posite extreme of abstract sculp-
ture, subject of controversy for years,
culminating in the celebrated deci-
sion of the U. S. Customs authori-
ties that it was not art. The fa-
mous trial which followed ended in
a favorable opinion for the artist.
Today Brancusi is acclaimed as
probably the greatest living sculp-
tor.

The exhibition was assembled by
James Johnson Sweeney, Director
of. the Solomon R. Guggenheim
Museum, in collaboration with the
staff of the Philadelphia Museum
of Art.

_According to Mr. Sweeney,
“Brancusi’s sculpture is the art of
a man born close to nature who
has always remained close to na-
ture.” In the simple forms of his
work great emphasis is laid on the
materials used, the individual col-
or, the grain of marble or the tex-
ture of stone or wood.
Important among the 50-odd
pieces in the exhibition are the
towering wood King of Kings, the
Two Penguins of marble, Endless
Column, the wood Head, Adam and
Eve, Cock, one of the many ver-
sions of Mademoiselle Pogany, the
Bird in Space of polished brass,
the Yellow Bird of yellow marble,

With exams finally over and the
suspense relieved by the appear-
ance of grades, the college has set-
tled back somewhat into its nor-
mal routine. Normal for everyone
but the freshmen, that is! To a
strenuous rehearsal schedule are
added the pressures of Hell Week
beginning tonight. The sophomores
are taking full advantage of the
opportunity to make up for las
year’s discomfiture!

“Wandering into a Freshman
Show rehearsal last week, we were
greeted with the familiar sight of
harried directors attempting to
bring some sort of order out of
chaos with varying degrees of suc-
cess. The scattered audience was
composed of cast members not
needed on stage at that moment.
and members of various commit-
tees who were engaged in a va-
riety" of pursuits. The director
and her assistants struggled to be
heard above the non-participants’
scattered applause for and laugh-
ter at some happening on stage,
interspersed ‘with loud conversa-
tions on extraneous subjects.

“You gotta be enthusiastic. This
is the epitome of your wildest
dreams. I want a reaction from
everyone!” The director’s pleas
were heeded with varying degrees
of attention, but the desired result





hand, stayed in character as long
as action on stage was called for,
but at ‘the frequent interruptions
of the directors they once more re-
gained their own _ personalities.
While such weighty problems as
space distribution and getting the
dancers on and off were discussed
by individuals separated from one
another by the length of the hall,
the cast patiently waited to re-
sume acting.

“0. K. ‘Let’s take it from here.
Get back into the positions you
were in. Remember what you
were supposed to do?” Afid the
rehearsal continued.

With a choice of two bands and
two atmospheres—one of red-
checkered tablecloths and candles,
the other of a crowded dance floor
and_brightly-lit alcoves — the
Princeton sophomores entertained



sophomores from other women’s

throng of unattached males and
females at times seemed to be in
danger of shutting off the compar-
atively few hardy souls who man-
aged to find room enough to dance
in. Braver couples ascended to

less glaring. In a brave attempt

Role of 5th Amendment

Examined By
Redlich

Mr. Redlich,, graduate of Wil-
liams and of Yale Law School,
spoke on the Fifth Amendment
last Monday. He discussed the
public attitude towards the Fifth
Amendment as well as its techni- .
cal use and misuse.

Mr. Redlich emphasized the im-
portance of public awareness and
understanding of an often misun-
derstood. privilege, particularly in
this competitive era when “un-
scrupulous politicians use the judi-
cial systems as a means to gain
political advancement.”

That no person should be com-
pelled to testify against himself
seems an obvious right. Yet, ac-
cording to Mr. Redlich, self protec-
tion under the Fifth Amendment
wrongly implies immédiate guilt.
It is easily possible that an irino-
cent man may wish to keep from
his prosecutors certain relevant
facts that would appear incrimi-
nating, but in actuality were inci-
dental.

The Immunity Bill of 1954 was
mentioned as a poor alternative to
the Fifth Amendment. Under this
Bill a person is compelled to tes-
tify, but he is “immune” to prose-
cution for the disclosed informa-
tion. Testimony under these condi-
tions is unsatisfactory. ‘People
still would not talk.” There is the
parallel danger that one will be
“indicted for perjury if one talks,
and for contempt of court if one
does not.”

If U. S. citizens are denied the
right to self-protection under the
Fifth Amendment, the American

Constitution is “morally wrong,”
Mr. Redlich concluded.



Things Have Changed



Bryn Mawrters and their dates

might be interested in the follow-
ing reprint from the January 24,
1917, issue of The College News.
The article, speaking of a Class of

Discuss Men’s Coming to Plays.”

“ ‘There will be a meeting of the
Undergrad Association before the
1913 performance of David Gar-
rick on February 10th,’ said Miss
Shipley, President of the Under-
grad Association, ‘to discuss the
acceptance of certain conditions on
which Presidenet Thomas will al-
low men to come to class plays.’
The general plan is that the fac-
ulty and staff will be allowed to
come, and men accompanied by one
of the faculty, or the wife of one
of the faculty; an alumna, former
student, or student. ‘Additional
measures will be discussed at the
meeting. These arrangements, if
accepted, will only be a trial in any
case.”

Four Students Express Their

Integration View’ Of South Divided;

Fear Is Cause Of

By Mary Morriss Gibbs

There is no such thing as “The
Southerner’s View on Segregation”.
The “solid South” is divided
against itself on this issue. There

tegration as there are Southerners
and those put forth here are not
necessarily those of this» contribu-
tor. We can discuss the most ob-

pear predominantly among certain
classes.

The feeling among Negroes
themselves is divided. Those who
talk loudest and make more than
political trouble in the South, de-
spite their original worthwhile pur-
pose (the N.A.A.C.P.), are violent-
ly opposed to segregation. “Other
Negroes do not seem to care, or
feel they are better off segregated.
They are getting an adequate, if
not excellent education, and they
are not suffering from prejudice
as they might in an integrated
system. In integrated schools in
the South, where the proportion of
colored to white will be consider-.
ably higher than it is even in most
of the big city schools in the
North, the prejudice against the
race as a whole will manifest it-
self in prejudice against individ-
uals, as in the University of Ala-
bama problem. If the schools re-
main segregated, the prejudice
against the race as a whole exists
but lies dormant, for the South-
erner has very little prejudice
against individuals in the Negro
race.

It is generally accepted that the
Southern white is anti-integration.
This is true of the lower and parts
of the middle and upper classes.
Why does the Southerner feel this

This group is the victim of the
propaganda which has been hand-
ed down in the South for the past
century that links the inferior po-
sition of the Negro socially, aca-
demically, economically and phys-
ically, as seen in various statistics,
to racial characteristics. His in-
ferior position actually is probably
due to the white man’s discrimin-

Main Opposition

The majority of Southern whites
may or may not realize the inevi-
tability of integration, but they
fear it. Much of this fear is based
on their ignorance of the facts, but
much is well-founded.

The lower class fears the econ-
omic competition which the well-
educated Negro will give it. All
classes fear that in raising the
Negro to a higher position they
will endanger their own status.

They fear the possibility of rais-
ing their disease rate, lowering
their academic and cultural posi-
tion, and endangering their econ-
omic position. In some places they
fear physical harm at the hands
of large groups of Negroes. Above
all they fear intermarriage and cry
for the “purity of the race.”

There are some intelligent, edu-
cated, thinking, broad - minded
Southerners who do not oppose
integration. It is these people
who will be able to put across in-
tegration in the South. This group
also realizes the extent and diffi-
culty of the problem , of integra-
tion in Alabama, Mississippi, Geor-
gia and the Carolinas, which is
more than do the majority of
Northerners. This group is more
or less helpless at the hands of the
majority of whites and the politic-
ians, i,e., Virginia’s referendum
on the Gray Commission’s propos-
al. This is actually just a way to
stall for time to keep constituents
happy and to insure themselves of
reelection. It does not help to
solve the South’s problem.

The idea of integration on an
abstract basis is fine, but what are
you going to do with the hundreds
of exceptional cases, as in county
schools in the rural South where
white students would be outnum-
bered nine to one by children of
Negro sharecroppers? This is not
the Negro whom you know. Would
you send your child to that school?

I, personally, ‘favor integration.
It must be done with great care
and gradually. If ,we can only
make people more aware of the
problem that the South is facing
and establish tolerance and under-
standing between North and South,
we may have less trouble.

New “Revue” Stirs Campus Interest;
Reviewer Pleased And Disappointed

By Martha Bridge

The first solid achievement of
the new Bryn Mawr-Haverford Re-
vue is that it has been widely read
and discussed on the Bryn Mawr
campus—a distinction which few
publications can claim. This initial
triumph is largely due to the at-
tractive appearance of the maga-
zine—its simple,.neat cover, clear
print and unusually convenient
size. Then, of course, nearly every-
body was eager to see what the

Haverford literati would produce.

With the exception of those few
who still cling to an “anything-you-
can-do-I-can-do-better” attitude
towards Haverford, Bryn Mawr
students were in favor of the mer-

erford Revue. “I think that support
of the new combined Revue, on the
grounds that. it is potentially more
exciting for its readers and edit-
ors alike, should be sharply separ-
ated from criticism of the contents
of the present issue. That the
‘quality of the writing in this Re-
vue does not far surpass that of
recent past issues of Counterpoint

prising; but I am disappointed that
certain kinds of writing were not

~ of a coed editorial board.
I refer, particularly, tos a mix-

ture of heavy-handed preciousness
and self-pitying sentimentality
which may be typed as “sensitive-
adolescent-girl” writing. Not only
did samples of this school go un-
checked by Haverford editors, but
Haverford writers themselves seem
to have succumbed, in all sincerity,
to the style. On the other hand,
I am grateful that no representa-
tives of the opposite extreme, the
“tough guy” school, found their
way into this issue.

I found it happily difficult to
pick out any general distinguish-
ing mark, either of theme or style,
which reveals the author’s sex in
most cases. What can be said

as a group can, on the “whole, be
applied equally well to the ver-
ford group. Neither has escaped
from the usual preoccupations,
which I fear are largely imitative,
which resolve themselves into one
emotional atmosphere: we~-youth,
I suppose—are groping, searching,
insecurely yet exuberantly experi-
menting. Stated so badly, I admit,
this honestly pervasive concern
can do little but arouse weary and
sardonic recognition. Unfortun-

Supreme Court Decision Supported

In Spite Of Complexities Involved

By Anita Kaplan and
Virginia Gavian

Intolerance and prejudice have
been a-characteristic of men-in all
societies. These qualities are seen
everywhere in the world today, and
they flourish in contemporary
America. We in the U.S. have in-
herited the qualities of prejudice
and intolerance as a part of our
social and psychological frame-
work. Along with this inheritance
has been passed down to us an ideal
of equality which is not and has
never been fully realized.

There is a difference between our
ideal and the performance of dem-
ocracy. Men define democracy in
different ways, with the result that
the practice of democracy varies
from place to place. Nowhere in
this nation is there complete racial
and religious equality, nor does
everyone agree that we are far
from realizing this ideal. Educa-
tion is one of those areas where
men’s beliefs and men’s needs are
in conflict.

In May of 1954, the Supreme
Court of the United States render-
ed a decision that segregation was
to be abolished in the nation’s pub-
lic schools. This decision was based
upon the premise .that segregation
is not commensurate with the
democratic ideal of equality.

Because “education compre-
hends the entire process of devel-
oping and training the mental,
physical and moral powers and
capabilities of human beings”, a
system which does not provide
equal educational opportunity is a
violation of the Constitutional
rights of those involved.

The Supreme Court has found
segregation: to be unconstitutional.
Facilities provided Negro students
usually are not up to the standard
of those provided white students;
however, even if the physical
plants and monetary allotments for
the separate schools were identi-
cal, segregated “education would
not be equal. The separate school
system prevents the financial and
social equality of the two groups,
thus keeping the nation as a whole
from realizing not only its demo-
cratic but its economic potential.

Furthermore, a segregated. school

system by its very nature implies
that the groups involved are so
different as not to be able to meet
on the same level. The distinction
here is unavoidably made in terms

of “better than” and “less than”,
and consequently the dignity of the
secondary group is affronted. In-
herent in this argument is the as-
sumption that when the dignity of
one group is impaired, the dignity
of the whole is affected.

The essence of the Supreme
Court position is seen in the fol-
lowing statement: “A segregated
school system is harmful to all
races involved. Its inconsistency
is detrimental to the educational
process as a whole and materially
affects the opportunities of the mi-
nority group.”

The Supreme Court has made a
decision which -has provoked the in-
terest of all and the anger of many.
There. isa not-uncommon. feeling
that the Supreme Court through
this action has done more harm
than good to inter-racial relations.
Many Southerners feel that com-
plete acceptance and integration
of the Negro into the population
as a whole will be the product of
time rather than of legislation.
Yet, while it is true that you can-
not force one man to accept anoth-

when it is no longer possible to
condone behavior which is clearly
unjust.

The Supreme Court in interpret-
ing our Constitution with its
amendments has indicated that in-
justice has been perpetrated on two
levels. The letter of the law em-
bodied in the “equal rights” clause
of the 14th Amendmentyhas been
violated, and this alone would be
reason for its immediate correc-
tion. But, in addition, an equality

ic spirit of the law has been pro-
hibited to a group of the nation’s
citizens. A problem as complex
as this has no simple solution; it
will not be eliminated by a single
act of legislation—but it can and
must be rectified. The decision of
the Supreme Court, if followed in
good faith as the law of the land,
will in time bring about good feel-



ing within the land.

slaves being thought of as infer-
ior.

The attitude of inferiority of
Negroes prevailed even after the
legal liberation of slaves. Due to
their former higher, more _power-
ful situation, the whites were able
to express. their contempt in daily
situations through segregation, the
‘Negroes always getting the less
desirable~ arrangement. Under
these conditons, segregation in the
schools was natural.

There were two possible out-
comes of the segregation problem:
either anti-Negro feelings would
prevail, or, éventually, there would
be integration. Through pure force
of habit, segregation would be ac-
cepted without question and with-
out anyone’s having a clear under-
standing of the origin of the feel-
ing. Further, Negroes wefe~ con-
venient scapegoats on Whom the
whites could release their normal
need for emotional outlet. On the
other hand, the situation might, in
time, disappear completely. By
diffusion of the two races, infiltra-
tion of non-prejudiced people into
the society, educational measures
and general enlightenment, segre-
gation and prejudice might vanish.

Theoretically, the Supreme
Court decision appeared to be a
good thing. However, the explo-
sive reaction in the South proved
that people were not psychologic-
ally prepared for such a nevolu-
tion. The decision had not served
as a factor to awaken the need for
integration, but had become a set-



er as his equal, there comes a time}-~

which is required by the democrat-! |

back, an irritant to make preju-
dice more strongly felt.

This decision was forced upon
the South. It was passed with an
obvious Northern ideal motivating
it. No one will accept something

without objection if he does not
have a background that is sympa-

thetic to the understanding of the

situation. When and if, the South

becomes objective enough, it will

see the obvious fault, but this real-

ization will take time.

In the meantime, the situation

in the Negro schools will remain

inferior, the facilities and the in-

struction will not be on a par with

the white schools. There are very

few Southerners who are willing
or able to help the colored schools

become equal to the others; South-

ern whites will certainly not do it,

Southern Negroes are not in a po-

sition to do it.

If Northerners were to become

concerned over the problem, a so-
| lution could be effected.

If well-
trained Northern Negro teachers
were willing to give the Southern
Negroes an opportunity for a good
education, the Southerners would
eventually be able to put their own
instructors-and facilities ona level —
with that of their white neighbors.
In this way a peerage would be
established among both races. The
net result may be the pooling of
resources, beneficial to all. Color
‘| boundaries would gradually crum-
ble, and segregati ‘would go
with them.

ately, few pieces in the new Revue
do more than what I have done.
They announce, rather than com-
municate, their moods.

1 applaud the experimental cour-
age of such writers as Stephen
Chodorov, Harvey Phillips and
Anna Nemus. (By the way, I would
like to ask Miss “Nemus” whether
she is related to that grand old
English poet, Anonymous, or to
Jules Verne’s “Captain Nemo.’)
Mr. Chodorov’s Paper Novelty is
subtly and hauntingly developed—
despite, rather than because of, his
grandiose section - announcements.
Harvey Phillips, especially in his
Eyes That Lose Green Silk, has
tentatively but admirably employ-
ed the imagery of sense-corres-
pondences. As for Anna Nemus’
Fear, it is a striking attempt to
follow up the “stream-of-consci-
ousness” technique with what I
can only describe as a “stream-of-
self - consciousness.” Even the
squirming dislike which Fear has
aroused in some of its readers is
a tribute to its intimacy. —

The poetry represented is large-
ly formless, even in a very free
sense of “form.” The exceptions:
Constance Horton’s three poems
deserve warm praise for communi-



cating a sense of the rhythm in-
herent in the shapes of words;
Helene Rosenbaum’s Rachel shows
a more conservative form and dic-
tion; and Rabbit MacVeagh’s
Glengariff Bay, most formal of all,
is an opulent and mouth-filling

D\ MacNab Brown takes the hon-

or prose; ghe alone achieves
real nagrati style. The reader

feels a fluid, hypnotic story-quality
in the ostensibly plotless “I’m a
Man, Spelled M-A-N and The Tem-
ple Woman. Miss Brown’s “secret”
lies in her genuine detachment;
she resists the temptation to in-
volve herself in her narrative.
Also very promising are Frank
Conroy’s The Ride and Two Scenes,
narrated in the first person but at-
tempting to be harshly realistic.
Sometimes Mr. Conroy is muscle-
bound in his struggle to avoid di-
rect introspection, yet he is wise
in limiting his “scenes” to minia-
tures in which the reader can pick
out his own identifying details.
The Revue revealed quite a few
charming and entertaining writers,
whose unpretentious andoften
whimsical lightness made - their
writing no less sensitive. Among
these, Betsy Nelson’s Neely, Anne
Hobson’s Miss Julia and the Hur-
ricane, and Steven Sieverts’ The

Some Professorial
Changes Revealed

changes in the faculty, as profes-
sors go on sabbatical and return
from leaves.

Four full-time members of the
Naonity have gone on leave for the

second semester. Miss Gardiner of
the biology department, Mr. Gil-
bert of the history department,
Miss Stapleton of the English de-
partment, and Mr. Metzger, profes-
sor of German, will .all- be-away
from the college during the second
semester.

Mrs. Ruth Walton Haun will be
lecturing in social case work in the
department of social economy, con-
tinuing the course she began in the
middle of first semester.

Miss McBride is teaching a
course in principles of education
during the second semester.

Mrs. Berliner is returning to
teach full time, not going on full-
time leave, as The News incorrect-
ly reported in the last issue.



J. Sloane Chosen
In Recent Election

Professor Joseph CC. Sloane,
chairman of the history of art de-
partment, was elected President of
the College Art Association of the
U.S.

The 2,500 member (300 from
Europe) organization which is de-
signed to stimulate “high ‘stand-
ards of education and research and
promote discussion of the function
and method of instruction in art,”
held its annual conference in Pitts-
burgh two weeks ago. The confer-
ence was attended by more than

Viner Gives Background Of Era From
Restoration To The American Revolution

Goodhart Hall, Feb. 8.— Jacob
Viner’s lecture on “The Man of
Property’s Utopia”. opened the
Anna Howard Shaw lecture series
by presenting a general back-
ground for the period from the

Restoration to the American Rev-|

olution. This era will be discussed
in the remaining five lectures on
“British Social Thought.”

Mr. Viner characterized the time
as a “stagnant period of entrench-
ed; unchallenged and complacent
conservatism.” During the period
there was a complete union of ex-
pressed opinion on social position,
as the intellectuals of the period
found it necessary to bring their
beliefs and social philosophy into
harmony by harnessing their doc-
trine to social policy.

Agitation on the questions of a

theocratic society and political and
economic equality had disappeared,
and the only controversy remain-
ing was on the role of Parliament
and a constitutional monarchy.
This society, which “was apolo-
gized for when it wasn’t eulo-
gized” was the man of property’s
Utopia. He knew it, saw things
as good and maintained the sys-
tem. He could do this because he
possessed a monopoly of political

power, maintained by the code of|

poor laws, the almost complete
lack of education for the poor, the
strict penal code and the prevail-
ing low wage rate.

The main attainment of the pe-
riod was “the rule of law, not of
men.” This contributed an estab-
lished principle, and showed the



goal that could be reached.

‘Basketball Varsity
Defeated By Penn

In the first week of the second
semester, three Bryn Mawr varsi-
ties played their opening games,
“The basketball season opened
“Thursday, Feb. 9, with two games
“played at Penn. The varsity show-
ed definite signs of its being their
first game. After a slow first
quafter in which the Bryn Mawr
forwards had trouble finding the
basket and the guards had diffi-
culty in finding the forwards, the
varsity’s playing improved, but
could not overcome the lead al-
ready established by. Penn. The fi-
