Spiritals To Be
Sung, Discussed
Dr. Zelma George, singer and
leader in the field of intergroup
relations, will give a talk on and
demonstration of the Negro spir-
itual to Bryn Mawr students on
April 28, at 7:30 in the Common
Room. Interested in the spiritual
as a part of Negro culture and as
a social document as well as in
its purely musical value, Dr.
George plans to invite audience
participation in several songs,
while she herself will sing others,
and will speak on the Negro spirit-
ual as a source material in human
relations.
iDr. George has a background of
wide experience in music, sociol-
ogy, and social work, After do-
ing graduate work at the School
of Social Service administration of
the University of Chicago, she re-
ceived a doctorate in Sociology
from New York University, where
the topic of her dissertation was
the sociology of Negro music. Lat-
er, she worked as a caseworker
and probation officer in the Chicago
area, and she was the founder of
a community center in Los Angeles.
Her professional experience in mu-
sic includes graduation from the
American Conservatory of Music
in Chicago, and leading roles in
the Cleveland performances of
Menotti’s “The Medium” and “The
Consul.”
Dr. George’s appearance will be
co-sponsored by the League and
the Interfaith Association.
1958's Senior Gift
Is A Unique One
At Bryn Mawr, each year’s Sen-
ior Class traditionally gives a
parting gift. This year’s Seniors
have decided to give $1,000 to the
tree fund to repair the damage
done during the last blizzard. The
class was very responsive to this
idea both because of its uniqueness
and because they would be able
in this way help the college sus-
tain an unexpected loss. How-
ever, in addition to this rather
sizable gift the college has had to
spend an additional $1400. The
total of $2400 is the cost of trim-
‘ming the trees and of cutting and
burning the limbs; it does not in-
clude any replacements for the
trees on Senior Row, although the
college does plan to plant new
trees there.
In addition to their gift to the
tree fund the Seniors are also
giving $43 to provide for the in-
stallation and first-year payment
on a telephone in Goodhart for
e. use.of the Pre ents of the
Sch
Big Six.
Revue To Promote
China-Cup Variety
The Revue is once again spon-
soring a design survey, this time
to aid the investigation of student
tastes in China. There will be a
display of the numerous wares of
a well known company (shh —
Royal Doulton) this Friday, —in.
the Common Room from 9-5, Stu-
dents are asked to drop by to look
and voice their opinions (total
time needed: approximately five
minutes) at any time during the
day, or to-‘make a specific appoint-
ment with Revue board members,
who will be in search of willing
subjects for Friday, all this week.
There is, needless to say, no ad-
mission charge.
It is editorially hoped that many
students will be able to take part
in the survey, as this is one of the
ways the Revue earns money to
try to make up the difference be-
tween the $1.00 a copy minimum
printing costs, and the student-

Provides Gay, Great Fun
A scene from “You Can‘ Take It With You”
by Barbara Broome
Snakes, skyrockets, a_ ballet
dancer and a playwright — the
Sycamores were in no sense of the
word an “ordinary” family! Their
antics as presented by the maids
and. porters of the college last
Friday and Saturday evenings
were, without question, uproar-
iously funny. And yet, as_ their
daughter Alice said of. them,
“There’s a kind of nobility about
them.” The Sycamores are, in-
deed, a family which will be long
remembered here at’ Bryn Mawr!
Yes, You Can’t Take It With You
provided a thoroughly enjoyable
experience for all those who saw
it—a fact clearly verified by the
laughter and enthusiastic recep-
tion it recived: from the audience.

Marianne Moore
Will Read Poetry
One of Bryn~**Mawr’s notable
alumnae, Miss Marianne Moore,
will read and discuss her poetry
on April 24, at 4 p.m. in the Dean-
ery. Although this event is not
open to the general public, anyone
from the college who is interest-
ed is welcome to attend.
Miss Moore, who graduated in
1909, has at one time or another
won all major American poetry
awards, such as the National Book
Award, the Guggenheim Award,
and the Pulitzer Prize for her
Collected Poems.
Formerly the editor of the cele-
brated magazine, The Dial, Miss
Moore now devotes all her time to
writing. Since her Collected
Poems, she has published Like a
Bulwark, and translation from the
French of the Fables of La Fon-
taine.
Miss Taylor Will
Teach At Harvard
Miss Lily Ross Taylor, Professor
Emeritus.of Latin, has been ap-
pointed visiting professor in the
Classics at Harvard for the Spring
term of the year 1958-59. =:
Formerly Dean of the Graduate
School at Bryn Mawr, Miss Taylor
has also taught at Vassar. From
1934-35 to 1952-53, she headed the
School of Classic Studies at the
American Academy in Rome, and
was Sather Professor of Classical
Literature at the University of
California in 1947. She received
good with a few persons, display-
ing exceptional ability, while the
direction, and the casting were ex-
cellent.
George Bryan. (from Taylor) as
the grandfather, Martin Vander-
hof, will be the outstanding mem-
ory of the show for everyone. His
portrayal was, per usual (so those
who have seen these shows for
several years tell me), excellent.
Grandfather with his snakes, com-
mencements and rather extraordin-
ary philosophy proved to be both
a humerous and thought provoking
character.
The outstanding woman in the
cast was Louise Jones (from Pem-
broke) who played the role of the
mother, Penny Sycamore, Her
plays, her well meant party games
and her girl in the monastery were
most amusing. Louise managed to
combine just the right number of
flighty antics with the role of the
well meaning . mother to make
Penny “a charming and lovable”
woman. :
Although these two highlighted
the cast, the rest for the most
part did a good job. Mr. and Mrs.
Kirby, played by Louis White
(Denbigh). and Evalin Johnson
(Merion) were convincing and de-
lightful. T. S. Nesbitt (College
Inn) as Ed, Essie’s husband, was
one of the most humorous and
casual characters in the play,
while Sarah Collins (Radnor) as
Essie was enjoyable as a would-
be ballet dancer!
Rheba (played by Sadie Ames
from Merion), although one of the
smaller roles, was one which add-
ed a great deal to the play. She
gave a lightness and gaiety to the

Will Sing Haydn
In Joint Concert
At 8:30 on Saturday night, the
Bryn Mawr College ‘Chorus will
join forces with the Prineeton Uni-
versity Choir for a concert in
Goodhart Hall.
Bryn Mawr will open the pro-
gram with a psalm setting by the
18th century composer, Maurice
Greene. A _ string quartet will
accompany the Double Octet in
this piece, conducted by = Mr.
Goodale. The Princeton choir,
under the direction of Dr. Carl
Weinrich, will then sing five short
pieces by William Byrd, Hans Leo
Hassler, Jacob Handl, and Paul
Tchesnokov.
The second half of the program
will be devoted to the Nelson Mass
of Joseph Haydn, a forceful and
heroic work, supposedly inspired
by Lord Nelson’s victories at
Aboukir. Mr. Goodale will direct
the Bryn Mawr and Princeton
choruses, soloists, and orchestra
in this concert-version of the Mass.
Margaret Goodman and Marian
Willner will sing the soprano and
contralto solos respectively.
The orchestral accompaniment
of strings, flute, two oboes, three
trumpets, timpani, and _harpsi-
chord will be performed by music-
ians from Bryn Mawr, Haverford,
and Swarthmore colleges, from the
Philadelphia Conservatory of Mus-
ic, and several friends of the col-
lege. The continuo part will be
played on a harpsichord designed
and built by Mr. Caleb Warner of
Lexington, Mass., Anne Farlow
and Anne Sprague.
The concert will not be long,
but participants believe it should
be one of the most exciting music-
al events at Bryn Mawr this year.
It is hoped everyone will come
(and afterwards go to the Tri-
College Dance!).
Bitterman Gives
Fish, Rat Lecture
“Learning In The Fish and Rat”
was the topic of the Bryn Mawr
chapter, Sigma Xi, lecture in
Park, last night. Associate pro-
fessor Morton E, Bitterman, of
the psychology department, dis-
cussed an experiment which he
conducted. This experiment dealt
with the relationship of learning
between the rat and a fish, the
latter being the lower on the
phylogenetic scale.

THE COLLEGE NEWS
_ FOUNDED IN 1914
Published weekly during the College Year (except during
Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter holidays, and during examina-
tion weeks) in the interest of Bryn Mawr College at the Ardmore
Printing Company, Ardmore, Pa., and Bryn Mawr College.

United We Stand....
Most audible among comments proclaiming the success
of the recent undergraduate conference: “Can Democracy
Survive In America”, has been that sure stamp of approval,
the hopeful, “Next year”. Student interest, once awakened,
should at all costs be preserved in so fortunate a state, but
it seems also to follow that student awareness, once awak-
ened, will not easily recede into torpor, as one element of
such a “new” consciousness is the realm of new possibility
opened by one rousing success. As Mr. Rossiter remarked,
conferences are indeed valuable, because they do make us
critically aware of ourselves, both of our needs and of our
potentialities. Plans for another. conference, whenever they
are broached, should at least begin beyond the preliminary
barrier of doubt.
The obstacles which do present themselves, obstacles
which everyone actively responsible for such a project in-
stantly recognizes, are mechanical ones—the amount of
work, and amount of money involved. The first is only to be
overcome by the same concrete interest on the part of those
woh would benefit from another conference, as was shown
by this year’s committee; the second is less ilkely to be car-
ried by momentum.
This conference was financed by member organizations.
of the Coordinating Council, with contributions offered ac-
cording to budget and immediate interest; however, the Big
Six will be hard pressed to provide such funds very regular-
ly or very often. Some supplementary fund is needed, and
it seems more reasonable, in view of the vast number of
fund-raising activities already in existence to redesignate
some present source rather than to create a new one.
Under a revised structure of campus organizations some
changes might appear which do not now seem logical. We
do not wish to suggest that any organization curtail.a speak-
er program which is of vital interest to its supporters and
participants, but we might cite the suggestion of one of the
incoming big six presidents as reported in this week’s News.
Her organization plans to abandon the ambitious big-name,
big-audience program, and to concentrate on informal meet-
ings which will meet the interests of active students, faculty
and graduate students. If campus organizations did as a
general rule focus on a less costly plan of satisfying internal
interests they might then be more able to combine forces
upon occasion in satisfying the broad campus interests.
Secondly we wonder, and we feel we are not alone, what
are the possibilites of having a currenly existing college fund
furnishing “lectures by off-campus speakers turned toward
the providing of these speakers in concentration on one
specific topic, such as that of the recent conference. Certain-
ly a comparison of the amount of student interest as mani-
fested by attendance at the conference, with the often lag-
ging attendance at single lectures might justify one provi-
sion of this sort, not to mention the breadth and general
appeal of a topic of such significance as the nature of man
as a political animal. Such efforts are always profitable,
even if more by virtue of inspiration than of scholarship.
If the pressure of time and finance do limit future Bryn
Mawr conferences to a biennial position, alternating let us
say with Parents’ Day in the spring, or even held in the less-
hectic fall, we feel that these suggestions are valid. Alter-
nate years of concentrated or scattered speakers might even
be more feasible and acceptable than a rigid program of
either sort. The important issue, after all is the great reserve
of active interest that has been and can be aroused to the
support of such a general program. It might be a modern
manifestation of the spirit of Big May Day.
Dr. Nahm Defends Thesis That Criticism
Could Be A Creative Work of ‘Fine Art’
That great criticism is fine art
was stressed by Dr. Milton C.
Nahm,'in his reading of a paper,
“Originality and the Aesthetics of
Criticism”, Monday night. The
lecture was under the auspices of
the Philosophy Club.
Dr. Nahm suggested that the
approach to this conclusion meets
with difficulties. ‘Much criticism
that might be creative seems to
be stricken with paralytic humility
in the face either of the artist or
_of the work of art. Criticism, it
“How can we differentiate John
Milton’s Preface to Samson Agon-
istes, with its “things of melan-
cholic hue and quality are used
against melanchloy, sowr against
sowr, salt to remove salt humors,’
as an explanation of tragedy in
terms of Aristotle’s theory of
katharsis, from Nothing is here
for tears, nothing to wail / Or
knock the breast, no weakness, no
contempt, / And what may quiet
us in a death so noble... ?
__ The creative freedom of a critic
is generally believed, is a lower
order, a second class of creative
work. Critics are considered either
as men whose creative | are
weak; as parasites on the persons
or works of true artists; or as|
pedagogical practitioners whose
method is “wholly rational and ob-
jective” as compared to the artist,
who, in the words of E. M. Foster,
“lets down as it were into a buc-
ket into his subconsciousness, and
finds its scope in the many ways
the work of art with which he is
dealing can be approached. He
may subject the work to any one
of numerous non-aesthetic disci-
plines, i.e. Freud’s attempts to ex-
‘plain. the genius of Leonardo da
Vinci by his dreams, dealing
Moreover, said Dr. Nahm, “If

Bryn Mawriners, Soph Carnival Flourish
Amidst The Colorful Spring Atmosphere
by Alex Van Wessen
The Bryn Mawr campus was the
site for much festivity this past
Saturday. Gay booths decorated
the spring-clad grounds, ‘hall floats
added a note of ‘hilarity, and the
dance and open house provided a
fine finish to Sophomore Weekend.
However, sheer entertainment was
not lacking, either; beauty and
skill was effectively combined in
the “Spring Splash,’ the show put
on by the newly-organized syn-
chronized swimming group. at
Bryn Mawr, aptly called the “Bryn
Wawriners.”
An unusual crowd had gathered
in the gym by the time the first
number, Saucy Tar,” done by
Julie Lathrop, ’61, began. Per-
formed to the tune of “Bridge
Over the River Kwai,” it was a
novelty number, offering much
rhythm and many snappy salutes.
Graceful Symphony
‘As a contrast was the next num-
ber, “Symphony in Blue.” Com-
posed by Penny Morgan, it con-
sisted of slow, graceful movement
rather than cuteness; although
this looked easy to the inexperi-
enced audience, it must have in-
volved a great deal of practices to
convey the fluidity of movement.
In it were Penny, Marilyn May,
Alice Brown, and Vicki Starr.
“L’ Etoile”
Another slow and easy number
was “L’Etoile,” performed to the
romantic music of the “Bacarolle
from the Tales of Hoffmann.”
Composed by Sara Lewin, it had
been performed in previous swim-
ming meets, so that it was par-
ticularly professional.
Twenties in Jazz
The audience was not permitted
to be lulled by slow, gentle acts
for long, however; with Charlotte
Pretty’s “Jazz Time” number, all
the roaring gaity of the Twenties
was brought out—in water. In
such a number, where make-up
and costuming is an important
part of the total effect, much in-
genuity had to be used, so that
the 'audience would be convinced,
which it was. This novelty, which
incidentally had to be inserted at
the last minute, was particularly
popular with the public.
Languid Swans
“Swans on the Seine,’ composed
by Sara Lewin and done by ‘Jo
Ann Zimmerman and Sara, was a
return to the languid, graceful
movements of “L’Etoile.” Done to
the lovely music of “La Seine,” it
suggested well the river on a Sun-
day afternoon, adorned with float-|
ing swans. Although this number
was not “cute,” and did not per-
haps appeal to the average specta-
tor as much as some of the other
“clever” acts, it did not take a
professional to realize the hard,
concentrated work which had been
devoted to this in order to make
it appear simple and effortless.
“Ugly Duckling”
In the swan vein was Julie
Lathrop’s “Ugly Duckling.” That
Julie had performed this before
made the number only smoother
and more professional, With move-
ments of face and hands, plus
very effective costuming (how did
you ever change that quickly,
Julie? Even we ugly ducklings
need longer . -) she managed
to turn this into more than a num-
ber; we actualy could visualize
the duckling in its distress, and
later joy at being a swan, after
all. This illustrates the need of
dramatic as well as technical skill
in performing in the water.
While the cast of the finale were
preparing their costumes, the aud-
ience was treated to a special div-
ing display by Sally Davis and
Judy Robertson. As one who is
not a particular expert in the do-
main of diving excellence, I can
say only that each girl performed
willingly and well, never showing
fatigue, even when they had to
continue longer than originally
planned. Even.in diving, it is ap-
parently possible to convey humor,
for several dives were indeed
funny.
“The King and I” was the in-
spiration for the closing number,
“March of the Siamese Children.”
Again, a great deal of resource-
fullness heightened the effect; the
little crowns, and suddenly sur-
prisingly long, Siamese-looking
fingernails, were particularly to
be noted. This number, which was
the Club’s pride and joy, had been
planned and rehearsed since fall;
it showed a great precision of
movement and imagination. Parti-
cipating were Alice Brown, Julie
Lathrop, Betsy Levering, Penny
Morgan, Adair Nichols, Charlotte
Pretty, Vicki Starr, and Jo Ann
Zimmerman, “March,” incidentally
will be Bryn Mawr’s offering at
the general competition held at
Penn on May third. It will no
doubt be as .successful there as
it was. -here.
The Club, advised by Miss
Yeager, has a long way to go,
but with such enthusiasm and
talent as was displayed at the
“Spring Splash” performance, it
will not find this way particularly
trying. The only stumbling block
is finances; the girls hope to have
more money to spend on costumes,
makeup, and props. However,’ the
core of the. club— interest and ini-
tiative—is already there.

In Canada’s ‘Stratford Adventure’ Film

“The Stratford Adventure,” a
30-minute film about the origins |
of the Shakespeare festival in
Stratford on Avon, Canada, was

of Mr. Arthur Hanna, and was
sponsored by the Arts Council.
The narrative, skillfully inter-

Cadbury Cites Independence, Absence
Of Ritual In Quakers’ Liberal Religion
The history of Quakerism was
the aspect of Quakerism with
which Dr. Henry J. Cadbury open-
ed his talk Tuesday evening, April
15, in the Common Room,
When Quakerism, which now
has a membership of less than
200,000 (120,000 in the United
States); began in the middle of
the seventeenth century in Eng-
land, it was one of a great many
sects. It embodied a_ reaction
against ecclesiasticism, and had no
priest, no ritual, no sacred build-
ing, no creed, no church bells and
no outward sacraments. It was,
Dr. Cadbury said, “the acme of
non-conformity in England’. This
non-conformity produced a nega-
tivism that was good for the early
Quakers. The persecution ‘sorted
out those who were not strong and
helped those remaining to main-
tain “a tradition of independence”.
This tradition of independence ex-
tended into both religious and sec-
ular matters, an example of which
is found in the fact that the Quak-
ers refused-to take oaths in civil
courts, simply because they were
History Film Shows
Life in the ‘Twenties
“The Golden Twenties,” a movie
based on Frederick Lewis Allen’s
book, Only Yesterday, was given a
closed showing Wednesday, April
16. Students in 202 and 303
courses in American History saw
the film, essentially an amalga-
mation of newsreels from the
roaring decade, and produced by
March of Time, Inc.
Following Allen’s book nile:
the movie dealt with social, poli-
tical and economic aspects of the
Twenties. Leading personalities,
including Eugene Debs, Presidents
Coolidge and Harding, were noted.
The film touched on events such
as the Sacco-Vanzetti and Scopes
trials, and, pursuing the spirit and
development of the decade, review-
ed the lawless flouting of prohibit-
ion, the technological achievements
in the development of airplanes
and automobiles, the Stock Market
boom, and the pervading and ex-
cessive gaiety of the post-war
years. The effect was an over-all
picture of the era.
against the oath itself.
After presenting the more “neg-
ative side’, Dr. Cadbury discussed
the more “positive” side of Quak-
erism. Quakers believe in a direct
relationship ‘between God and
man. They believe that this di-
rect relationship includes all peo-
ple, pagans as well as ‘Christians,
and that there is a universal sav-
ing principle of God. Their par-
ticular form of worship follows
from their belief in this.
Secondly, the Quakers feel that
religion is relevant to all aspects
of life and that “every part of life”
should be “subject to a_ sensitive
religious conscience”, In connec-
tion ‘with this, Dr. Cadbury, who is
chairman of the Board of Direct-
ors here at Bryn Mawr, sai§ that
Quakerism has often been “ah in-
strument of strong social impact’”’.
As examples, he cited some of the
roles Quakers have played in the
abolition of slavery, in govern-
ment, and in effecting such chang-
es as the improvement of pris-
ons and of care for the mentally
ill. Here, too, the Quaker oppo-
sition to war and their “pacifism”
have served as instruments for so-
cial reform.
In discussing the question of
what the place is of the Quakers
among other Christian churches
today, Dr. Cadbury said it was dif-
ficult to define because of the lack
of sacraments and other ritual.
The Quakers are a member of the
National Council of Churches, how-
ever. ‘Dr. Cadbury added here
that Quakers have done a great
deal of work with people of dif-
ferent faiths and that “everybody
can understand the language of
kindness”. ~~
- In the question atid answer per-
iod which followed his talk, Dr.
Cadbury discussed several other
aspects of Quakerism. Instead of
becoming a Christian when one is
baptized or confirmed, the Quakers
believe that people become Christ-
ians the way they become mature
in other fields, they grow into it.
When questioned on what Quakers
believe about the divinity of
Christ, Dr. Cadbury said that there
is a variety of beliefs and that the
greatest emphasis is placed on
the teachings of Jesus.

to broaden the scope of the Ath- .

to those who are not strongly in-

days for everybody with other

have picnics and perhaps _ hikes

nothing is certain at this particu-

Last weekend two Bryn Mawr-
ters, Adele Smigel ’59 and Nancy
Cline ’59, attended the Intercol-
legiate Conference on Government
at Harrisburg, Pa., Judy revealed.
She also said that since she has
been elected she hopes to acti-
vate the ICG.
As far as speakers are concern-
ed, Judy pointed out that nothing
definite has been decided or can be
until the Alliance meets with the
faculty next month.
Lynn_ Kaplan.
“What I have in mind is really
just widening the scope of Lea-
gue so that those girls interested
wil have an opportunity to ex-
change their ideals on social prob-
lems and social service itself,” said
Lynn Kaplan, newly elected pres-
ident of League. “Girls who take
part in League activities have at
least a broad interest in common
and I’d like to see what we can
do with it.”
To utilize and expand the inter-
est of students who are, or would
like to be, participating in League,
Lynn hopes to broaden the func-
tion of League meetings. Now
mainly ‘business, these meetings
could become an activity of Lea-
gue in themselves, with time used
to discuss the social problems that
board, members and others (the
meetings have always been open)
take particular’ interest in.
Again drawing on students’ ex-
perience, Lynn suggested that girls
who had taken part in activities
such as weekend workcamps, the
Girl Scout work, or Embreeville
give accounts of the situations
they had encountered and _ the
eo
Six
work they had done. This would
have the double purpose, she said,
of publicizing the activities and
elucidating them for timid but in-
terested students, and keeping
board members informed about
activities other than their own.
Lynn’s: ideas for the speaker’s
program are to forget about en-
ticing big speakers from far-away
places and big audiences and con-
centrate on informal meetings that
would attract really interested
students who were concerned with
discussing broad social problems
with a local speaker.
“We'll try to develop the acti-
vities we have,” she said, and seek
new ones that best fulfill the in-
terests and needs of the students.”
Among new possibilities she sug-
gested investigating other hos-
pitals whose need and challenge

nolds, the new president of Inter-
faith, had this to say about I’nter-
faith:
“T’ll do my best to see that the
Interfaith Assbciation maintains
its interfaith qualities. We’ll never
again have such a good opportun-
ity to learn about many different
religions, Through Interfaith we
will be able to learn about those
things which are -common to all
faiths as well as about those
things which are peculiar to each.
“We already have a committee
looking into the possibility of hav-

rabbis come to speak, and we will
try to have some Catholic laymen
speak during the week,
“I'd like to have a speaker on
the vitality and necessity of reli-
gion—why we need some sort of
faith in our everyday lives.
“Finally I’d like to have an en-
thusiastic group of students who
affiliated group. with neighbor-
affiliated groups with neighbor-
hood churches, colleges, and com-
munity projects.”
