Mr. Gardner At

Convocation

Lauds, Challenges B. M. C.

What are the processes involved in the rise and fall, the burgeon-
ing and decay of human institutions? This question intended to “foster
a certain amount of creative discontent,” was posed by John W. Gard-
ner at the 75th opening convocation leat Monday. Mr. Gardner, Presi-

dent of the Carnegie Corporation
of New York, was introduced by
Miss McBride.

There are, according to Mr. Gard-
ner, three major ways in which in-
stitutions lose their vitality. The
first of these is through the in-
dividuals associated with them. In
many cases the college is unable
to encourage the attendance of
worthy|persons. \Moreoftenthannot
individuals’ inadequacies are the re-
sult of a deliberate policy of the
institution. The authorities accept
colleagues who fit into their pre-
conceived notions of the ideal pro-
fessor or student. Mr. Gardner said
that he is “inclined to believe that
in the interest of vitality every
institution should diversify its
membership or clientele.”

Procedural “Trap”

Another reason for the narrow-
ing potentialities of organizations
is an “ever tightening web of rules,
lines of authority, and customs.”
The original goals of institu-
tion are lost in a maze of proce-
dure, The means become more im-
portant than the end. Energy be-
comes channeled “into all the tiny
rivulets of conformity.” People
are concerned, not with what to do,
but how to do it. Therefore the
“individual who comes out ahead
is not the individual who has a
new idea—but the one who has
an ingrained knowledge of all the
traditional ways of the institution.”

This is not the atmosphere in
which “creative minds flower.”
The climate breeds connoiseurship
rather than creativity and origi-
nality. This all comes about be-

Skinner Scene
Of Frosh Plays

French, original creations, and
simplicity are the thing in fresh-
man hall plays this year. Pem
West is part of the Frenchy em-
phasis, doing “Les Précieuses Rid-
icules,” (by Moliére—en anglais,
for the non-francophiles. Direct-
or Annette Eustis listed a cast of
seven major roles “but everyone
has a part.” She also gave a most
honorable mention to wupperclass
advisors Trudy Hoffman and Bea
Kipp, Annette says the scenery
will require “imagination, yes, but
a set.” ‘She added mysteriously
that “the costumes will be quite
unusual, but I can’t tell you why.”

Wilder In Pem E.

Over in Pem.East, the simplic-
ity theme led to Thornton Wilder,
“The Happy Journey” to he -spe-
cific. This is simplicity at its sim-
plest, with only a gray-curtain
backdrop, four chairs “and a bed
shoved in at the end.” (Sue Schro-
der is the director and Lynme Hol-
lander the upperclass advisor, with
Joan Paddock as stage manager.

Meanwhile, back in France,
Denbigh |('with the Deanery) is do-
ing (Giraudoux’s “The Apollo of
(Bellac,” directed by Lindsay Clem-
son, stage managed bby ‘Anita De-
Laguna, and advised by Barbara
‘Paul and Elaine Cotler. The play
has five main characters and is
what its director describes as “a
comedy with a ‘good ending.” ~

Glenway Wescott
To Present Views

On Thomas Mann

A lecture and concert commem-
orating Thomas.Miann will be held
at Haverford on Friday, October
9. The lecture, given bby Glen-
way Wescott, is entitled “Thomas
Mann: Willpower and Fiction”, Mr.
Wescott is president of the Acad-
emy of |Arts and Letters; and the
author of Harper Prize winner
“The Grandmothers” (1927), and
“Apartment in \Athens” (1945).
He will speak at 4:00, in Roberts
Hall.

The concert, at 8:45 :p.m., also in
Roberts Hall, will be presented \by
the Julliard String Quartet. Their
program includes some of Mann’s
favorite music—works by Mozart,
Mendelssohn and Beethoven. The
members of the quartet are: Rob-
ert ‘Mann, violin; Isidore Cohen,
violin; Raphael Hillyer, viola, and
Claude Adams, cello.

Alumna Sponsors

This commemorative program is
one of a series of three, sponsor-
ed by Miss Caroline Newton, an
alumna of Bryn Mawr (class of
1914). The first. of the series was
held at Bryn Mawr im 1956, when
Mark Van Doren spoke on “Joseph
Tetrology” of (Mann, followed by
a piano recital by Rudolf Serkin.
In 1962, the third such program
should take place at Swarthmore
College,

‘Miss Newton is. particularly in-
terested in (Mann, and considers
him both “a great, European and
a great writer.”



Mr. K. Complex
Asserts Kennedy

. (Mr. Kennedy, in the first cur-
rent events lecture of the year,
“traded guesses” with a crowd in
the common room on “Mr, K. and
_[ What He Means”. In_describinig.
the Russian premier, he empha-
sized the fact that Khrushchev
“came right up through the party
machinery”. ‘Thus, although un-
doubtedly impressed by much of
what he saw in the U\S., he con-
tinues to think of us as a decadent
capitalist society.
Mr. K’s Objectives

Khrushchev’s objectives in com-
ing, in so far as we can determine
them, were to “break the ice”, to
boost his own and Russia’s. pres-
tige, to observe the U.S. with an
eye to eliminating some of the
Soviet’s economic weakmesses, and
to’promote foreign trade. Perhaps
his main objective was a less, tan-
gible one—that of pushing or as-
certaining our acceptance of the
(present world situation. We .now
admit the semi-permanent division
of 'Germany and the existence of
the satellite bloc without much
hope of altering the situation to
rehabilitate the world. A few
years ago, this admission would
have been thought quite imposs-
ible.

Proposals “Unconvincing”

Khrushchev’s actual proposals
have fbeen rather unconvincing,
except perhaps as they show a
greater willingness to open nego-
tiations with the west. It is basic

the USSR to realize their belief
in the communist destiny of miy-
ing the world. Also, the Soviet
Union is still a totalitarian state,
and as such has a policy of sec-

Notice

Sunday, October 11, at 3:00 in
the Quita Woodward room, there
will be a 76th anniversary ipro-

Friends of the Library, and enti-
tled “Behind the Scenes with Three
Bryn {Mawr ‘Authors”. The three
authors speaking are (Elizabeth
Gray Vining, Josephine Young

Batten House

‘According to President Kathar-
ine E. McBride, Bryn Mawr’s lat-
est acquisition, palatial Batten
(House, will be ready for oceuwpancy
after a delay of three to four
weeks, during which it will be
equipped to satisfy fire prevention
requirements and applications for
residence there will be sorted out.
"The fire prevention requirements
include two fire escapes, a smoke
barrier at the head of the stair-
way to the third floor, and a fire-
resistant ceiling over the boiler
room; the selection of occupants is
likely to be more complicated.

Lifesavers Welcome

As (previously announced, Red
Cross lifesavers are particularly
welcome to’ Batten House. in
choosing the other residents, the
administration plans to take a few
from each hall, so that no one will
suffer the abrupt loss of its entire
upperclass crust. After they have
been narrowed down to about thir-
ty, the applicants will meet for a
general draw. This, Miss. McBride |
pointed out, will give them a chance
to see who their fellow-inhabitants
may be—congeniality being espec-
ially important in so small a place.

‘Besides the lifesavers, permis-

house and of the freshmen in the
graduate center. The hall will
have the usual officers, as ‘well as
a new functionary, the pool officer,
whose job will be taking charge
of the pool and writing er re-
ports on it.

Rooms Vary In Price

Room (prices in Batten House
(will be in the same range as in
other halls, with eight low-priced,
four medium-priced, and two top-
priced rooms. Tlwo of the rooms
will be triples, and the others will
include either two singles and
three doubles or three singles and
two doubles.

In reference to suggestions that
the new hall be turned into a co-
operative house, Miss McBride
said that the nearness of the grad-
uate center made it simpler for
students to eat there than to pre-
pare their own meals. Last spring, -
when co-operative housing was
discussed, the college thought of

Science and the Modern College

Serious :consideration of the problems involved in the
question of science education for college students in the hu-
manities is relatively new. The tremendous growth of science
during the last century established those disciplines firmly
in the liberal arts curriculum. But the stepchild of “pure’’
science, applied science, received first attention, and many
technological schools or institutes were established with cur-
ricula which largely ignored both the humanities and the
basic sciences. But as the basic sciences were, and still are,
confused with technology, educators began to agitate for
the “humanization” of the “sciences”. This problem, though
still a.real one, seems on its way toward being solved. At
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology more than 25%
of the curriculum falls within the scope of the humanities,
and over 25% more is assigned to science properly so called.
Moreover, it is the rare scientist who is unacquainted with
the subject matter and central questions of the arts and
social sciences.

But while most scientists are at home in the human-
ities, it seems that very few non-scientists are able to, or
even want to, speak the language of science. In a civilization
which is dominated by the by-products of science, this is
simply to leave technology to its own, often dubious devices.
Meanwhile, the philosopher, the economist, even the student
of literature, almost all the specialists in the humanities, are
discovering that they cannot claim real competency in their
subjects and at the same time ignore the influence and the
- achievements of science and technology any more than the
Roman Empire could long ignore Christianity. But while
science informs our society, many of us, who claim to be
students of that society, remain uninformed about it.

The grave difficulties involved in giving science a “crea-

tive place in a liberal arts curriculum are discussed in this
issue by Dr. Walter C. Michaels and by a number of seniors
who are not science majors. The fact that this discussion is
taking place in the pages of the News reflects the dissatis-
faction of the editors with the nature and extent of the pres-
ent requirements; and marks an attempt to lay out these
problems for general examination.

A New Editor And A New Policy

Monday night, over tea and sundries, a plenary session
of the News’ staff and board created two new editorial posi-
tions, Associate Editor and News Editor. From the point of
view of the organization, these changes represent a decen-
tralization of responsibility, and therefore of editorial auth-
ority. This revision is important to the News itself. But
the creation of a news editor marks a change in policy which
has importance for the entire campus as well.

During the election campaigns last spring, a number of
the candidates for Big Six virtually ran on the platform of
extended coverage in the News for their organizations’ ac-
tivities. We objected on the grounds that the News was not
primarily a publicity sheet. But at the same time, we were
forced to review our traditional idea of what constituted
campus news. It was unpleasant to realize that most items
were simply events-as-they-happened, and that we had tend-
ed to disregard, or rather, to overlook events-in-the-making.
This was not a deliberate policy, but the result of the lack of
real channels of communication with campus organizations.

for Salen race ae ae









by Dee Wheelwright

What I mostly did this summer
was to go to Europe, but I’m not
supposed to talk about that here,
as it is such a common thing for
Americans to do nowadays that
Europe is glutted with them and
I had to hunt for hours in Flor-
ence before ffinding the Italian sec-
tion of the town. ‘When my par-
ents (with whom I was travelling
at the moment): ran out of money
in Istanbul and we all had to come
home, I still had the wanderlust,
and so, packing my Boy Scout

{knapsack and — toting my —instru-

ments, I set out to tbe local color
in Nantucket. And it is this ex-
perience, a week of street singing
in that fabulous old whaling port,
which I was asked to describe.

I had no intention of being a
street singer when 1 started out
for Nantucket, or any remote de-
sire to be one. I went to visit
friends Beth (Carr and (Gretchen
Jessup whom you may know, and
if you don’t you should go immed-
iately to the nearest Revue and
strike up an acquaintance. Any-
way, I landed on the island having
come from Woods Hole im a huge
luxury liner which had a chronic
fear of wharves or piers and which
consequently took hours to make

a simple landing. I landed finally,
hoping that visiting the island
would be cheaper than getting to
it: vain hope. Nantucket is full of
tourists, and where there are
tuorists life for the simple liver
possible. Luckily I had friends and
so, instead of \being forced to spend
$2.50 a night (the cheapest avail-
able price) I was allowed to sleep
in the..attic...with, the waitresses
at the~ restaurant-boarding house
where Beth and Gretchen were
working.

But still my money was dwind-
ling fast. I. had to do something
to get some money lbecause even
if the gorse and the furze and the
dunes and the sea'and the whaling
museum hadn’t been so nice and
if I had wanted to leave (which I
certainly did not) I couldn’t have,
because 7 didn’t have enough mon-
ey for a boat ticket let alone a bus
to ‘New York. So I decided to
make a fast buck or two by the
easiest means at my disposal—
singing. I went to the Chamber
of Commerce and they were pleas-
ed. If you had come in June we
would have paid you, they said,
but they gave me their august

my own, and so I ‘went down that

‘| night to see what I could do,

(For a while it was jpretty dis-
couraging because I was singing
to no-one, but suddenly 30 people
sprang: up from nowhere like Ja-
son’s army, and began to sing. I
made ffive dollars in an hour and
quit, thinking I had made pretty
good earnings, and when I went
away the second night with only
four something I still didn’t com-
plain. Until I met Grant who had
been in the racket the year before.

Grant had lots of blond hair and
could sing all of (Puccini by heart,
and he was also a good showman
who knew the ropes (I was total-
ly ignorant) and so we formed a
team. Things picked up..‘We put
on a real show complete with re-
hearsals and a planned program,
and we wore “quaint” straw hats
(which we passed around at dis-
creet intervals during the show).
We made money hand over fist,
singing, not to the college group,
as I had done earlier, but to the

Once we received an invitation
to audition for a pops record com-
pany, and once an elderly woman
came up to us and said we had
such [beautiful voices we ought to
“use them in the service of the
Lord”,

We, however, did neither, but
continued for four nights to run
our show on Uipper Main St. near
the bank, repairing after an hour
to the neighboring coffee house’ to
count our loot. Four nights may
not sound like much to you, but
after you have gone through the

‘game routine (more or less) four

times consecutively in the fog,
and have lbattled hecklers (luckily
they were rare), little boys and
fighting dogs while at the same
time attempting to keep a lethar-
gic crowd amused and singing, you
are quite ready to quit. It was
fun while I did it, and I’m glad I
did do it, but it’s a tough job, and
I don’t expect to do it ever again

Committee Proposes Positive Action

by Emmy Meyer
Chairman of Curriculum Comm.

The Student Curriculum Com-
mittee, made up of representatives
from each department and class,
serves several important functions
on the Bryn Mawr campus. Some
of these are advisory: the letter
to freshmen, sent in the summer
before their entrance, attempts to
Rive’ information about courses
that will be open to them in the
fall. During Freshman Week, this
year for the first time, the Cur-
riculum (Committee held “office
hours” in Taylor so that girls
could come in and discuss various
aspects of the curriculum before
they made out their schedule.

Another innovation was to have
a small panel of members of both
the student and faculty Curricu-
lum Committee discuss “The The-
ory of ‘Requirements at Bryn
Mawr.” Their discussion attempt-
ed to get at some of the principles
and reasons behind our academic
system. ‘This panel was followed
by a tea at which committee mem-
bers were again available to ans-
wer questions.

Still in the advisory capacity,
the committee tried to help stu-
dents, especially sophomores, to
decide on their major fields by
holding get-togethers at which the



departments -and__their plans —of



study are discussed.

The committee is also the chan-
nel through which student opinion
on the curriculum is voiced. It

rserves as a liaison group between

students and faculty. It presents
new ideas, suggestions, and griev-
ances to the professors and admin-
istration, and works with the cor-
responding faculty committee. Stu-
dent interest, then, is of prime im-
portance to the committee, and ul-
timately to you—for it is you
whom the committee represents.
All of your questions, comments
and criticisms are ‘welcome sand es-
sential, Representatives will meet
with students in or interested in
various departments to hear their
opinions. A list of committee
members will be posted in each.
hall,

Finally, this group tries to as-
sist and encourage student inter-
est in broad aspects of the cur-
riculum, and in general problems
and questions in education today.
Though non-participation in activ-
ities is perhaps in vogue at this
time, student imterest in the cur-
riculum. should. be a fundamental
part of one’s life on this campus.
Rather than keeping suggestions
and gripes confined to the dormi-
tory, bring them to the (Curricu-
lum Committee, twhere positive

ment.

(When a well-known alumna pub-
lishes a book it behooves her alma.
mater at least to notice it; when
the alumna is Cornelia Otis Skin-
ner it usually proves good for men-
tal equilibrium as well as lubrica-
tion of mouth and jaw muscles not
only to notice the newly-hatched
tome, but also to slink off for an
hour and read it.

The Ape in Me, the newest opus
of this prolific and renowned Bryn
Mamwrter, pantakes bountifully of
these therapeutic qualities. If not
(as the publishers proudly vaunt)
“rollicking”, itdoes at any rate
guarantee several unsuppressable
shoulder spasms per essay; the
volume including twelve of these
essays, (polemics against. contem-
porary mores, modes, and meth-
ods, e.g., air-line steward cour-
tesy, zippers, and cellophane wrap-
pers) the reader is virtually as-
sured complete _risibility. lubrica-
tion in an hour.

It must be readily (and happily)
admitted that paroxyms produced

‘ _ | by the volume derive not from any

appeal to a rational element, for
‘Miss Skinner’s humor is, in the
main, hyperbolic rather than sub-
tle. It lies in the pure



mouthed through thick Pullman
windaws of a slow -departing
train), but more often, in an al-
most unrecognizably distorted ex-
aggeration of it (e.g. the hacking

to open an impenetrable cellophane
wrapper that results in a gouged
finger, impaled bosom, ~ stained
dress, and lost temper).

In occasional interims between
situations, the pitch of absurdity
is sustained’ through frequent use
and juxtaposition of the many-syl-
labled tand hyperbolic word: (caca-
phony is used in three of the
twelve pieces to indicate noise)

-and, when_a (pleasingly poly-syl-

labic word is not im the offing she
tends to derive her own (e.g. un-
getatable—term used to denote
‘well-wrapped, packages). .
Mention of ¢his proclivity for
the many-syllabled should, how-
ever, serve only to preface what
may bbe considered Miss Skinner’s
most effective humorous device;
her startling use of the unexpect-

Dr. Michels: On Studying Science

EDITOR’S NOTE: Fifteen seniors were asked this question: Do you, as humanities
major, consider the exposure you have had to science, in your educational career so
far, sufficient in quanity and adequate in kind? Their answers are published on this
page. Below is a major interview with Dr. Walter C. Michels of the Physics Depart-
ment, who tackles much the same problem from the professorial perspective.

Liz Hansot

“In order to determine how



Interviewer: [How do you, as a
scientist, understand the relation
between the liberal arts and the
sciences ?

Dr. Michels: ‘Let’s ask this:
what do you mean by a liberal
arts program? It-seems-to-me-that
the justification for amy liberal
arts program is that it cuts across
these cultures, those developments
on thought which have contributed
principally to ‘the society in which
we live. (Certainly, if this is true,
the nature of a liberal arts educa-
tion must change from time to
time. There’s no question what-
ever but that science has been a
dominant influence in the twenti-
eth century, and even somewhat
before that. . Therefore, a liberal
arts program which is responsible
to its purpose of showing the
growth of civilization must incor-
porate the sciences, not as a sup-
plement to that program—because
it cannot be—but as an insepar-
able part of it.

Interviewer: The growth of civi-
lization, yes; but also one direc-
tion in which it can and is likely
to expand,

Dr, Michels: That is right; there
is no question whatever that, during
the next 50 years, science and the
technology that grows out of it—
and I’d like to keep these two very
separate—will have more influence
than they have had in the last cen-
tury. I don’t know whether you
know of a statement George Stew-
art makes in his book, Man—A
Biography, that the conditions un-
der which man lives have changed:
more in the two-and-a-half cen-
turies since 1700 than’ they chang-
ed from the beginning of recorded
history up until -1700. It seems

I enjoyed all these courses in a
sort of liberal artsy way. My at-
titude has never been terribly
scientific, as I have related my
knowledge in science .to the arts.
I therefore feel that, because of
the way I study science, I have



taken enough courses in it.

Sheila Gopen—Economics

I believe that Bryn (Mawr’s re-
quirement of one intensive labor-
atory science is good and that my
course in physics benefited me a
great deal. However, I do not

consider my overall exposure to
science sufficient in quantity,- liv-
ing as I am in a world of scien-
tific change. Although I would
not recommend a general science
course, I do think that somewhere
in an educational career there is
a place for an introduction to
more than one science, Perhaps
this may just be the responsibil-
ity of the high school.

Many times people are afraid
of a new science and never take
it. At Brym Mawr, where the 101
course is strenuous, students tend
to go into those courses with
which they are already acquainted

my science requirement. As a re-
sult, my approach was more ma-
ture and I (would definitely advise
others to do the same. I feel that
too many students rush _ into
science as something they want
to get out of the way.

At Bryn Mawr I think a course
such as History of Scientific
Thought is an excellent idea for
the student who has already ful-
filled her single science require-
ment. However, I think that it
should be offered more often and
made more attractive to the non-
science major. Perhaps this would
ibe one way to give the liberal
arts student a look at the prob-
lems and accomplishments of the
various branches of science. Such
a course could even introduce some
sciences not included in our curric-

ample—while presenting them all

likely that this change will con-
tinue for.some time to come at an
accelerated pace. And yet, rela-
tive to the importance of the un-
derstanding we must have of
science over the next generation,
the emphasis ;we put on science. in
our educational scheme is very
small. This is evident when edu-
cation in the sciences is compared
with that in the humanities or in
technology.

Interviewer: I think that no one
will contest the importance of an
introduction to science for students
of the humanities. Our problem
is really one of quantity of science
in proportion to education in other
fields and also the kind of pres-
entation of science that should be
made, is it not?

Dr. Michels: Quantity is one
problem. There must tbe some bal-
ance in a curriculum that includes
science, but what that balance
should be I don’t know. But it’s
also true that the problem of how
to approach the teaching of
science, in a liberal arts program
—or im any other program for that
matter—is something we’re a long
way from solving.

One approach has been to treat
introductory courses as_if they
were primarily for the purpose of
preparing for further. work in the
subject. Given the requirements
in the majority of colleges and
universities today, for most of the
students these will be terminal
courses, and to design the courses
for the ‘relatively few majors is

Ideals aside, I have begun to
think that no one can ever have -
adequate knowledge of anything.
Certainly I, as a liberal arts ma-
jor, don’t know nearly as much
science as I probably should, but
if we are to face such cold facts
as Bryn Mamwr’s deep, narrow and
crammed curriculum, I don’t be-
lieve that a better solution than
the present requirement can easily
be found.

A first year course that must
give a firm working basis to the
specialist can be a little over-
whelming to the unprepared, the
irrational enthusiast or the unin-
terested; still, science is science,
and I think the liberal arts major
is entitled to the real thing in pref-

we can at least acquire some ink-

ibe remedied by additional requir-

of time is obvious, and the inter-
dependence of the scientific fields
makes adivanced study in one the
study of all. I believe, further-
more, that a recognized lack of
aptitude rather than interest pre-
vents non-science students from
going on, Certain fields are con-
genial to certain people, and for
those without the peculiar mental
vitality and technical resourceful-

Of her future education, Tony.
Ellis said: “If I go on wth philos-

feels she should have taken more
science than she has—one year of
chemistry—but although she real-
ized this need at the time of deei-
sion, it didn’t seem worth the sac-
rifice it would have entailed in
liberal arts study. “I took chem-

Helen Ullrich, a sociology-an-

that Geology, the only 101 science

course that she missed, would also
have been of great value to her.

“¥ feel, therefore, that a fifth

the sciences offered at Bryn Mawr,

years of math and one each of
biology and chemistry in high
school—this of her own accord.
Although she considers that in
a single year of scientific expos-
ure some broadly inclusive course
might be the most generally app- |
plicable for the liberal arts major,
she twas generally very much op-
posed to the survey approach, in
science as in any other subject.
Tony’s extra-curricular experi-|

ence with science is probably more,
extensive than that of most lib-
eral arts majors. “I played with
math with my grandfather during
my school years, and experiment-
ed in the first. three years of col-
lege with physiology and anatomy
labs, Most of my scientific knowl-
edge has fbeen absorbed outside of
the regular curriculum, and, while
not sufficient in quantity, seems
adequate in kind. I make a point
of reading Time magazine on the
latest advances in medicine, al-
though in this I regret my lack of
scientific background of ‘knowl-
edge.”

Baber

“It seems as if the Communist
bloc is ‘calling the moves’ in re-
gard to many things. If this is
so, then the increased enmphasis
(placed on science in our country
‘is a reaction based on fear. To
meet the Communist challenge, a
better balance between the arts
and the sciences is needed, not a
complete reversal as made by the/|
Communists.

“There’s a great deal to be said
for the discipline of a science, the
more rigid deadline of a lab, the
absolute preciseness of experi-
ments. (Perhaps the most impor-
tant thing is that one experiences
undeniable rights and wrongs,
truths that can he proved; there
is often a beautiful certainty in
a science. In arts, one studies a
subject from so many angles that
frequently the student forgets to
make up her own mind as to what
position she will hold. :

“A more general kmowledge of
the practical sciences introduced
at high school level would benefit
a liberal] arts major. Theoretical
scierices, e.g. mathematics, have
relevance especially for philosaphy
majors and perhaps should be
taken at the college level. Aside|
from ‘Communist challenges’ and
the like, it is a shame that a lib-
eral arts major should be as ignor-
ant today as she is of scientific
principles; and vice versa. Can’t

what I would like to see is logic

all students to- fulfill their science
requirements. This course would
combine the content and labora-
teries of the other four sciences,
physics, chemistry, geology and
biology, and would be taught by
members of all four departments.”

Helen proposes that the course
should not be easier than conven-
tional scienee courses and should
be. designed to give students “a
knowledge of the essentials of all
sciences.” This course would also
be of great value in helping a pros-
pective seience major decide in

which field she wishes to major.

“The importance. of science to

\phasized, “lies in the introduction
of the student to the scientific

‘have for science. What you want

to induce here is the willingness
and ability to read seience—not in
the highly technical sense, but at
least in the sense that it is writ-

ten for the layman, This means
‘that the student needs to have
enough examples of the way
science works—examples he un-
derstands—to get over his fear,
and an intimate enough knowledge
of scientific language and concepts
to be able to read scientific writ-
ings without serious difficulty.

Interviewer: Yes, but how do
you go about doing that in an in-
troductory course?

Dr. Michels: One presentation;
of course, is the historical develop-
ment of a science. But here the
temptation is to build a nice, log-
ical chain and to say that because
A happened B happened later. But
while this is often true of the mi-
nor steps in the growth of a
science, it is rarely true of the
major, the truly great steps, which
are often ibased on intuition.

Another approach is to skip
most of the history and present
the subject as a logical structure
which at each stage is intermesh-
ed with experimental observation-
al evidence.

Interviewer: But can you get
any idea of how a science devel-
ops if it is presented as a struc-
ture with an internal structure and
well-defined delimitations ?

Dr. Michels: I think you have
hit, in the very form of the ques-
tion, one of the difficulties here.
The temptation is to build a nice,
closed, beautifully logical system,
which, by its very completeness,
kills the interest of any student.
It is one of our big failures that
we have not pointed out to stu-
dents that ‘the structure is fluid,
that it’s not entirely, but only
partly, logical, that it is and will
remain incomplete. —

Interviewer: This problem ' is
compounded (by the fact that little
original research goes on at the
elementary level.

Dr. Miehels: Research—if it is
thought of as that which a person
engages in to find out something

previously unknewn to him—can}

go on at the elementary level. In
the laboratory here we try to de
exactly this: we try to get the
students very, very early—actual-

ly at the end of about three-weeks+}

—into a research situation, work-
ing in small groups on developing

‘their own problems and their own

techniques for solving them.

action is seldom direct. The big-
gest part of the interaction has
come through that intermediate
between science and _ society—

question: how do the science re-
quirements at Bryn Mawr meas-
ure up to your idea of a minimum
introduction to stience fdr the
non-science major?

|. Dr. Michels: As I said adits,
there are no absolute standards by
which one can judge the adequacy
of a curriculum or of a course, It
is certainly true that Bryn Mawr
College has avoided the watered-
down courses about science, rath-
er than in science, that have been
developed in some attempts to
produce courses for non-scientists.
On the other hand, our present
science requirement is less than
that in many institutions—there
is considerable justification for
the growing insistence on a full
year each of biological and of
physical science as part of a lib-
eral arts program. ‘The catch, of
course, is that adding to the
science requirement would cut out
something else; [ do not feel qual-
ified to form the value judgment
required except in company with
my colleagues.

Arts Council Plans Varied Entertainment Fair
Ranging From Music, Drama to Gastronics

by Arleen Beberman
for Arts Council

This year the Arts Council has
planned an extended schedule of
events, Both Arts Forum and the
Ticket Agency of Arts Council
will be particularly busy with a
varied fare of entertainment ranig-
ing from music and drama to gas-
tronomics and folksinging.

Since its inception last year the
Ticket Agency has successfully
operated as a means for students
to obtain tickets for events in and
around Philadelphia. Presently
the. agency is desperately nego-
tiating for tickets to the Metro-
politan Olpera whose subscription
lists were filled months ago. Yet
we are hoping for cancellations.
Besides the “Met” the ‘Academy of
Music events—ballet, music, dra-
ma—certainly offer a good variety
of celebrated artists and acclaimed
performances.

Ticket Agency Explained

Many people have inquired how
th Ticket Agency operates. First
a student signs up for a ticket on
the Arts Council bulletin board.
iA few days later she will check
her name if she still wants the
ticket or cross out her name if she
no longer wants it. The agency
will order the tickets and distrib-
ute them to the students’ mailbox.
Any extra tickets will ‘be listed for

people interested at the last mo-
ment. Since we do not like to re-
fund a signed-for ticket we will
seldom have extra tickets. The
price of the ticket plus a five cent
handling charge (postage, calls)
is put on the next pay-day. Arts
‘Council {bulletin board will publi-
cize events of special interest and
provide ticket lists.

‘Added to the above outside ac-
tivities, ‘Arts |Council will spon-
sor art exhibitions, lectures, con-
certs and recitals on campus.
‘Members of the Bryn Mawr and
‘Haverford faculties will speak on
topics_relevant_to their respective
fields, The Forum hopes to secure
a well-known authentic folksinger,
and a gourmet who will naturally

discuss the art of gastronomy.

Drama of Brecht
On Theatre Slate

by Nina Broekhuysen
College Theatre President

The first production of the Bryn
Mawr (College Theatre and Haver-
ford ‘Drama Club season will be
The Caucasian Chalk Circle by
Berthold Brecht, in Roberts Hall,

Haverford, on November 20 and}

21. Although it is based in part
upon a twelfth century play, it is
a dramatic exposition of the very
modern political, economic . and
social ideas of Western Europe’s
foremost contemporary play-
wright.

College Theatre hopes that in
Brecht the campuses will find a
more than satisfactory answer to
the clamor ffor “something differ-
ent, something modern, something
realistic.” The. Caucasian Chalk
Circle is an engaging and fascin-
ating (blend of realism and fan-
tasy; it is unlike anything we have
ever done, and both in production
and acting, it is an absorbing and



challenging play.

Furthermore, it has eleven wom-
en’s parts! ‘We hope for a large
turn-out at tryouts on Monday
and Tuesday, October 12 and 138,
time to be announced.

recy about its operations. This
is perhaps the crux of our deal-
ings with Khrushchev; that he
will never jeopardize that secrecy.
In the question period which
followed his lecture, Mr, Kennedy
discussed the possibility of a So-
viet-Western rapprochement under
the threat of \Chinese dominance
in the East. It is hard, he point-
ed out, to determine whether such
apen disagreement as is now evi-
dent in the Peking-Moscow axis is
a sign of Russian weakness or
of strength and flexibility.
Another outcome of the recent
Khrushchev visit mentioned by Mr.
Kennedy was the acceptance of
secret diplomacy. This was shown
in the private talks between
Khrushchev and Eisenhower,’ and
in Mr. Kennedy’s opinion would
be a highly desirable development

in modern diplomacy.

cause “human beings have a nat-
ural concern to perfect their ways
of doing things.” This leads to an
“empty worship of method.”

The third way in which colleges
lose their vigor is the “accumu-
lation of possessions and commit-
ments.” Scholars are afraid to ven-
ture into new fields for fear of
losing their pre-emminence in their
own spheres. The hindrance of
these “vested interests” is “prob-
ably the greatest obstacle to in-
tellectual breadth in the academic
world.”

Colleges that do not succumb
to these dangers are “authentic
national resources”, and a devotion
to excellence is their most impor-
tant safeguard. Mr. Gardner be-
lieves that Bryn Mawr has made
a “commitment to excellence” and
will endure as long as this is in-
grained in its policy.

Bryn Mawr’s 75th anniversary
will be celebrated this year by
thirty-one alumnae clubs scattered
throughout the country. The plans
of these groups range from in-
formal get-togethers of Bryn
Mawr alumnae, to more formal
luncheons and dinners with speak-
ers or panel discussions. Many of
these meetings are sponsored by
organized clubs, but many more
represent groups of alumnae band-
ed together for the purpose of
celebrating the anniversary of
their Alma Mater.

College Sends Speakers

Speakers from the college will
be sent to all groups who have re-
quested them. Miss McBride and
Mrs. Marshall are planning to at-
tend personally a number of these
celebrations. In some places, dis-
tinguished alumnae such as Mrs.

This Year's Gifts
To College Large

Gifts to Bryn Mawr during
the {fiscal year 1958-1959 totaled
$1,162,736.14, according to figures
released by the College’s adiminis-
trative offices. Of this ‘amount,
$516,711.48 ‘was received from
alumnae and $646,024.66 from
friends of the college.

Mrs. Dorothy N. (Marshall, Act-
ing President of the College dur-
ing the second semester of last
year, announced in July that the
year’s gifts brought the total for
the five-year period from July
1954-to July 1959 to well over
seven million dollars. This year
was the fourth consecutive year
gifts and bequests have totalled
over a million dollars; in the year
1956-1957 donations were swelled
to $2,814,000 iby the bequest of
the estate of Mrs, Charles Rhoads.

In 1954, the College established
the Resources Committee, made up

of Board, Faculty and Alumnae,
to study financial needs. In the
intervening time, the Committee
has attacked the constant problem
of fund-raising through encourag-
ing capital gifts, parents’ annual
giving, the alumnae fund and be-
quests.

The celebrating officially began
last June in London, when Miss
McBride was Guest of Honor at a
dinner given in the Oxford and
Cambridge Club. Two other din-
ners have already taken place this
September. The Milwaukee Alum-
nae group held a dinner on Sept.
22 with Professor L. Joseph Berry
as speaker on the subject Problems
of Space Travel. On Sept. 24, the
Minneapolis group met for dinner.
Mr. Berry spoke on the same sub-
ject.

The events: scheduled for Octo-
ber are:

On Oct. 19, the Louisville Club
will give a dinner for Miss Mc-
Bride, followed by a meeting at the
University of Louisville. Miss Mc-
Bride will be the speaker, and the
meeting is open to the public. On
Oct. 20, Louisville alumnae will
entertain Miss- McBride at an in-
formal luncheon.

St. Louis Holds Dinner

Rock .and the (Non-Residents are
doing “iAndrocles and the Lion,”
(“by (Shaw, well cut”). Director
Connie Schaar says the sets are
“very contemporary — symbolic,
you might say.” They had to de-
lete quite a bit from the original
play, “but we retained the Andro-
cles theme, of course, and it is
quite humorous—iwe retained that
too.”

Rhoads, avoiding the comedy
field, is doing “Aria da Capo” by
Edna St. Vincent Millay. The Di-
rector is Sarah (Shapley, with up-
perclass help from Tony Thomp-
son. “It’s a fantasy-play with a
fantasy-setting,” says Sarah, She
adds, “The most important thing
is that it’s serious and makes
timely points. The basic situation
is for all time, and also pertinent
to now.”

(Radnor, combined with the grad-
uate center contingent, is express-
ing its originality with a produc-
tion entitled, “Eloise at Brine
War,” (“a very original creation”).
Anne Whitman, as Director, and

| Julie Kasius, the stage manager,

wrote it, and Mickey Webb adyis-
es. The play consists of @ marre-

Dramas, Comedies

“things like trunks and canary
cages—props but not scenery.”

Karen (Mellingery the Director
of (Merion’s play, “Overtones,” by
Alice Gerstenberg, says there are
only four real parts to be acted.
These consist of two women at a
tea-party, plus the primitive self
of each. “There will be other peo-
ple in the background, but not
talking,” she commented hopeful-
ly. Karen is assisted by Nahma
Sandrow and Judy Stulberg.

East House’s originality, born
perhaps of independent living, is
expressed in their original adapta-
tion of Ludwig Bemelman’s “Ma-
deleine,” jwhich is what they de-
scribe as ‘jwelcomely short.” Mary
Johnson is the Director and Arlene
Beberman the upperclass advisor.
The Infirmary and College Imm
freshmen will collaborate. The
play (in verse, by the way) has a
narrator and a (person in the title
role, “and all the rest are one-
liners. East (House wrote it,
