Discuss Pros, Cons Of Hell Week

Little Time Or Energy
For Hell Week:
Sagmaster
By Helen Sagmaster

Taking a stand against any Bryn
Mawr tradition seems to be a
tricky thing to do.
attitude towards most traditions is
that they did it last year, so we’d
better do it this year.

Of course, many of our annual
events — for example, Lantern
Night—give pleasure to all partici-
pants. They are brief, and many
of them are beautiful. None of
these things is true of Hell Week.

The complaints against this tra-
dition are amazingly varied. Prob-
ably the chief one is that very few
freshmen have the time or energy
for any extracurricular activity
outside of Freshman Show. And,
despite the warning to the sopho-
mores, many of them did take the
épportunity to have a few extra
chores done for them. A “day” of
Hell Week was supposed to end at
midnight, yet the hduis spent do-
ing calisthenics, preparing cos-
tumes, etc., shortened appreciably
the time for studying or sleeping.

Although it was settled before
the start of this year’s Hell Week
that no one should be forced to
participate, “social pressure,”’—or
in this case, pressure to conform,—
made it almost impossible for any-
one not to take part, whether she
wanted to or not.

It seems impossible, also, to
avoid hurting, or terrifying, some
freshmen. The talk which precedes
the actual days of Hell Week, and
the fact that many sophomores let
their class’s temporary superiority
run away with them, inevitably
create some hard feelings.

It is not at all unusual to hear a
freshman remark that Hell Week
is “contrary to the whole spirit of
Bryn Mawr.” If the custom is car-
ried out strictly, this is true. If it
is not, Hell Week becomes an ex-
tended costume-party.

It should not be necessary to be
unpleasant to give some point to
Saturday’s activities. Whatever
follows Hell Week can be quite as
effective without the preceding
confusion,

Winsor Says Antics
Build Loyalty
In Class

By Eleanor Winsor

The way down to Hell, they say,
is quite easy. Around Bryn Mawr
it’s both sudden and inevitable, for
on the Wednesday before Fresh-
man Show at 6:30 a certain red
glow may be seen pervading the
halls—Hell Week has-begun.

Hell Week used to be longer; the
two-days that now remain are a
surviving fragment of the age
when Bryn Mawrters were really
rugged and the sophomores were
really out to kill.

In a social order which makes
Llittle more distinction between the
members of the four classes than
the red,“ green and blues of the
blazers, Hell Week comes as a sud-
den uniting of class spirit. It de-
velops a new freshman loyalty, the
impetus of which whirls the class
as a whole through the last two
days of show preparation, the ani-
mal hunt..and_ the unforgettable
experience of Freshman Show.

But if Hell Week unites the
freshmen in spirit, it unites the
sophomores in a quality even more
amazing — wit, Some wild and
wonderful .. schemes come _ forth
when all the little devils put their
heads together, and the harder the
freshmen try to outfox their tor-
turers, the greater the fun. The
rebels who collect the most demer-
its may not always be the ones
who enjoyed Hell Week the most,
but generally it is they who have
caught and responded to the real
spirit of fun which characterizes
the period.

For most people Freshman Show
is a legitimate break in the routine
of studying. So old and excellent
a part of college tradition is it that
the faculty are quite willing to
overlook the many small failings
and general vagueness of the
whole class. As Hell Week is an
integral part of this tradition and
escapes under the general havoc,
it can not really be considered
even by the most serious as a great
academic harm.

This year’s freshmen seem quite
united in the opinion that “after
all Hell Week WAS fun.” In Pem
East, where the blow was softened
by a party at Haverford, pro-hell-
ism is especially and expectedly
strong.. Denbigh found that
“schmooism” was so silly and so
much fun that you “just couldn’t
take it seriously or get mad.” In
Pem West it was even instructive,
as people learned such useful
things as the genealogy of the

=<“ gods-and-the-rules-of-chess, |

Now that the sophomores in
Rhoads have their blazers. again
and the posters for “Ankles Away”
stand triumphant once more in
the Pem East smoker and the class
of ’59 is still surviving, the pros-
pects of Hades looks threatening
for the class of ’60.

fice Of Dean
enies Request

The Dean’s Office has denied the
student petition to extend spring
vacation one day from April 1 to
April 2. The petition was present-
ed due to the fact that April 1 is
Easter and the present schedule
will make it necessary for many
students to travel early that day
in order that they may be at schoo]
on time for their Monday morning
classes. © '

However, a music workshop and
lecture by Boris Goldovsky had
been scheduled fur Monday eve-
ning and cannot be changed. For
this reason it is necessary that all
students return to school by Mon-
day.

Students may get travel time

from the Dean’s Office before leav-
ing school.

A Means, Not An Ends

Every year, examination period and the following week
bring criticism, from many students; of the prevailing atti-
tude towards grades. The competitive spirit here seems to
lead to an avid interest in, and comparison of, marks.

This attitude is understandable in freshmen, as it is the
result of their desire to know whether or not they will be
able to “‘keep up” reasonably well. But far too few students,
after finding out that they can get “comfortable” grades, set-
tle down and study with the purpose of learning. Too often
the goal of studying is a high average.

The students themselves must make the biggest move
towards taking the emphasis off grades. We must put into
practice the realization that we are here to get an education,
or, as it is often phrased, to “fit ourselves for life.” . A prac-
tcial slant may be given to this idealistic view of college: that
is, that’ very few of our future employers, and practically
none of our future friends, will ever know, or want to know,
what marks we got in college. They will, however, know
whether or not the subjects we studied in college were of
any lasting benefit to us.

_The problem which will always be raised in a discussion
of grades is that of scholarship students, who make up a
large part of Bryn Mawr’s undergraduate body. Any stu-
dent here on a scholarship feels that she must keep her grades
constantly in mind. This burden might be somewhat light-
ened if these students could be confident that their financial
need counted for far more than their numerical average.

A change in the students’ attitude towards grades might
be accompanied by a change in the method of grading. To
use letters instead of numbers would do away with much of
the petty comparison of papers and quizzes. We are aware
that this suggestion will be met with a loud protest from
those students with the highest averages.. But everyone has
asked or heard the question, How can you distinguish be-
tween an 83 and an 84 on a paper? We even venture to say
that the professors would find it easier if they were not forc-
ed to make the distinction.

We have all dreamed of studying ‘under a system where
no marks were given at all. But in a college such as Bryn
Mawr, this is not practical: without an extensive system of
tutorials, grades of some sort are a necessary criterion of the
student’s work. We would like to point out only that grades
are meant to be a means, not an end; they should be Used as
% means of telling the student how thoroughly she under-
stands the subject, not as the ultimate goal of a course or a
program of studies.

From The Balcony

by-Marcia.Case







The somewhat cnfikaly combina-
tion of Pygmalion, music and two
revolving stages has resulted in an
enchanting musical play, My Fair
Lady.

My Fair Lady claims to be
“adapted” from Shaw’s Pygmalion,
but this is somewhat misleading.
The plot, characters, and dialogue
are almost identical to the original
comedy. A few of the characters,
notably Henry Higgins’ mother,
suffer in this new version, and
there are a few additional scenes
which detract from rather than
add to the play. But Henry Hig-
gins, Eliza Doolittle, Colonel Pick-
ering and James Doolittle are as
wonderful as before, and the best
of Shaw’s dialogue remains.

It would have been quite possible
that the addition of music and
elaborate staging — there are 18
scenes and 11 different sets—would
have overwhelmed the virtues of
the play, but they do not. The. mu-
sic is clever, light and delicious,
and with only a few exceptions fits
perfectly naturally into the sur-
roundings.

This is true, in large part, be-
cause Rex Harrison, as nearly ev-
eryone knows by now, can not sing,
but merely speaks most of his
songs, which are probably the best
part of the show. His recitatives,
“lm An Ordinary Man,” “Why

to Him” (or “Why Can’t a Woman
be More Like a Man”), are very
clever and completely captivating.

Another example of the success
in transforming the cleverness and
feeling of the play into song is
“The Rain in Spain,” sung by Hig-
gins, Eliza and Pickering. The lyr-

Can’t the English,” and “A Hymn].



ical numbers, as “Wouldn’t It be

Lovely,” “! Want to Dance All
Night” and.“On the Street Where
You Live,” are delicate and lovely.

Like the music, the beautiful
staging enhances rather than de-
tracts from the ‘basic comedy. The
production is magical, rather than
spectacular. Significantly, the few
instances when this spell is broken
occur when Shaw is momentarily
deserted. There is one rather elab-
orate dance held in honor of James

‘Doolittle’s approaching marriage,
which seems out of place. And a.

brief scene between Eliza and her
loyal suitor Freddy is not handled
with the subtlety of the rest of
the performance.

A great deal of the success of
the show naturally depends upon
the characters of Eliza and Hig-
gins. Julie Andrews, as the flower
girl who is turned into a “‘Hungar-
ian princess,” should have shown a
little more fire and spunk. This
is particularly true in the second
act, which was not so successful as
the first partly because her scenes
with Higgins lacked the conviction
they originally carried in the play.
Nevertheless, she was lovely to
look at and to listen to.

Rex Harrison is just about per-
fect as Higgins; he was an infuri-
atingly superior and self-centered
perfectionist, but with the sophis-
ticated charm and appeal for which
both he and Higgins are famous.
It is hard to be critical of My
Fair Lady because the play is so
much fun. It had the capacity to
excite even so large and remote
(particularly in the case of this
reviewer) an audience as the Er-
langer Theatre contains; it truly
possesses all the qualities that the
theatre has to offer in the field of
magic.

Taylor's Aquarium

This week fish have taken over

ing a hapless student stumbling
towards the water cooler in Taylor
at 9 a.m. ‘was barely saved from
the fate of drinking out of an

matter is that a goldfish seems to
have migrated from nowhere to
the water cooler, apparently in an
insatiable thirst for knowledge.
He must have been a frightening

usual humanitarian signs that sur-
round our finned friends, such as
“No Fishing,” was a large hasty
notice that read “Beware Fish!”

KING HENRY

After seeing Sir Laurence Oliv-
ier’s production of Henry V in
Goodhart Friday night, we were
interested in Seymour Peck’s arti-
York Times Magazine. In claim-
ing that “Henry V brought Shake-
speare alive,” Mr. Peck stated that
“audiences could not merely follow
the Shakespearean speech, they.
could enjoy it.”

This audience certainly enjoyed
the film but their enjoyment stem-
med from the beauty of the set-
ting, the pageantry and the acting
rather than from the dialogue
which, due to poor acoustics, was
practically impossible to follow.
Audience interest was maintained

fish’s designs were in choosing

such a well-populated location, the
very center of Bryn Mawr, as his
habitat. A member of the Spanish

if it needed no further explanation.

The most amazing thing about

ability to change color like a cham-

some profound biological reason
suggested that cold and hungry
fish invariably swell in size and at-
tain occult black spots. (The small
gold fish of 9 a.m. became the mot-

is the representative of the stu-

dent body. As such it must co-or-
dinate all the various student ac-
tivities, as well as faculty-student
relationships, functions essential
to keeping the college running
smoothly. Improvements in. this
enormous area could, of course, be
made, but a far more serious de-
.fect is found in the lack of student
awareness of Undergrad. Ostensi-
bly the organization of the stu-
dents, Undergrad must keep track
—of-campus.issues and opinions, a

function even more important than

its job of co-ordination.

What little that is generally
known about Undergrad is mostly
negative. _ Undergrad is often
thought of as the organization to
which is given left over jobs. In
order to increase campus aware-
ness of Undergrad I would sug-
gest more- émphasis on opening

‘Board meetings to students. Un-
dergrad is written up in the Fresh-

Joan Parker, Mickey Nusbaum, Jane White, Mimi Machado.



man Handbook; this, however, is
usually read before the student en-
ters college, when nothing can be
properly related to anything else.
I think that a later writeup in
College News, for example, would

ie

be. invaluable in clarifying the or-

ganization of Undergrad. -
More representation is needed to

solidify the college as an entity;

therefore, more co-ordination is

needed between hall and class rep-
resentatives. By this, and by bring-
ing more issues to the halls, I be-
tieve that the students and Under-
grad can be more unified.

It is the job of Undergrad to su-
pervise specific activities on cam-
pus—such as dances, clubs, com-
mittees and the continuance of col-
lege traditions. Undergrad should

have its finger on every pulse and
it is only by co-ordinating ‘these
numerous projects that this can be
accomplished. There is room for
improvement with the Curriculum
Committee, class reps, the function
of the Legislature and the position
of N.S.A. on campus.

However, I feel that Under-
grad’s primary function is to voice
campus opinion on matters large
and small. The important consid-
eration is that of getting student
opinion to the Board, rather than
informing the student body of the
Board’s opinions.

The least successful aspect of
Undergrad is its lack of student
participation. Being an ipso facto
member, each student is affected
by policies made and discussed by
the Board. Although each Board
hmember=is—elected for her repre-
sentative qualities, it is impossible
for her to be aware of every cam-
pus problem. © Perhaps. stheduled
open meetings, inviting student
participation and suggestions and
more hall coffee-hour discussions
with Board members would help
remedy this lack. I would also
like to smooth out channels for
better administration-faculty-stu-
dent relations.

Undergrad should not only func-
tion as a channel for the exchange
of opinion, but also present the
college with important issues
which will stimulate opinion. Il
think its primary function should
be the correlation of committees
which go directly to students or
faculty, e.g., the Size-of-the-Col-
lege and the Curriculum Commit-
tees. It is necessary, therefore,
that Undergrad not get too bogged
down in the detail of executive du-.
ties. Through more delegation of
these duties, the members could
handle the unavoidable last-minute
detail and still have time to think.
Bryn Mawr is hall-oriented, al-
though we do not recognize this,
for we elect class reps, and there-
by assume that the large differ-
enees of opinion lie within the
classes. Undergrad’ Board present-
ly consists of four members from
Rock, two from the Pembrokes,
two from Merion, and one Non-
Res. To contact opinion at a level
closer to every member of the col-
lege (not just in Undergrad Coun-
cil which is too far above the col-
lege level to have maximum Con-
tact with all campus opinion), I
suggest a Board of hall reps.. To
incorporate: this group with the ex-
isting Board might produce too un-
wieldy a group, therefore, this
Board could meet weekly with the
Undergrad President as a separate
body. ;
Undergrad should co-ordinate
faculty, students and administra-
tion. I suggested one way in which
student opinion might be informed
of Undergrad and vice-versa. The
Curriculum Committee should use
its excellent opportunity to further
student-faculty relationships, and
Undergrad might work to keep
students better informed of admin-
istrative policy.. fe

The most important function of
the Undergraduate Association is
to act as a liaison between the stu-

abe:



dents and the administration and
faculty. On every campus some
organization is necessary to co-or-
dinate the various activities, and
to provide the means for discus-
sion of problems which are of
common interest to the college as

a whole. Through Undergrad’s
Executive Board, its clubs and
committees, the association is

keenly aware, of student opinions,
and, in acting with the Undergrad-
uate and College Councils, is able
to fulfill successfully the need for
_o-ordination, |
Although Undergrad’s activities
affect each student, few realize ex-
actly what the organization does.
There is an obvious lack of inter-
est in Undergrad—clearly indicat-
ing a definite need for wider pub-
licity of the organization.
Because of Undergrad’s relative-
ly small campus and class-elected
board, a hall may not have a’rep-
resentative on the board and may
easily not hear of issues which are

discussed: at the meetings. To in-
crease the knowledge of and in-
‘terest in Undergrad, each hall
might elect an Undergrad repre-
sentative who would attend an Un-
dergrad meeting, perhaps monthly,
or meet with the President to dis-
cuss some of the more important
issues. Also, by strengthening the
Legislature, the President would
have an additional way to dissemi-
nate information about the organi-
zation.

In addition, I would strongly
suggest a more complete coverage
of Undergrad in The College News,
including, for example some of the
fascinating issues which arise in
College Council.



The statements written by all

candidates were limited to ap-

proximately 200 words due to

The Alliance offers a challenge
to any Bryn Mawr student who is
elected President. In- helping to
make the campus program success-
ful the President ‘finds herself in
a variety of situations; she must
be ready to act as the official hos-
tess for visiting Alliance guests;
she must make the Alliance pro-
gram flexible enough in order to
take advantage of the many op-
portunities for political activity
that arise; and she must be willing
to give of her time and energy to
make the Board meetings and ac-
tivities useful and_ stimulating.
These factors, along with many
others, when once accepted as a
challenge, provide the President
with a year of hard work, along
with a great deal of enjoyment
and experience in carrying out her
interpretation of the function of
the Alliance on campus.

The role of the Alliance on cam-
pus is, of course, manifold, but its
two most important functions are
these: it should provide a channel
for the general interest in political
affairs on campus, by means of Al-
liance lectures and conferences. It
must also be in a’ position, either
through Board activity or club or-
ganizations, to establish programs
_ of special interest-to-those*partic-
ularly concerned with politics. In
putting these primary functions
into effect, the Alliance should con-

tinue the Goodhart assemblies, but
it should lay stress on smaller ac-
tivities of the Board and the clubs.
These activities, in the past,-have
included the Alliance tours of Phil-
adelphia (an idea suggested in a
N.S.A.. manual), campaigning in
elections and work with local po-

litical organizations. and discussion
groups. Speakers on a more infor-
mal level have also been included.
Along these lines it might be pos-
sible to organize perhaps a visit
of a speaker for several days on
campus in order for the students
to have more time to talk with the
visitor. Again, we have tried this
year and are continuing to try to
invite more speakers from this
area. Since much of the activity
of the Alliance, as it is organized
at present, depends on a responsi-
ble Board, it should be stressed
that (1) the hall reps should elect-
ed or chosen because of their gen-
eral interest in and willingness to
participate in Alliance activities
and, (2) the Board meetings must
draw for their stimulation not only
on those who actively. participate
but also on other students who
cannot always come to every meet-
ing but would like to join in the
Board discussion groups. The club
program this year should be revi-
talized according to expressed in-
terest, perhaps separate from the
Board activities and not necessar-
ily drawing its leadership from the
Board.

During my two and one-half
years at Bryn Mawr I have attend-
ed various off-campus conferences
pertaining to political affairs, in
particular the NSA Congress this
past summer. I have been Secre-
tary and President of Students for
Democratic Action on this campus
and have participated in the cam-
paigns in the mayoralty election of
Philadelphia and in the guberna-
torial election of Pennsylvania. In
these I have organized the Demo-
cratic groups, who have worked in
these elections.

The Alliance for Political Affairs
eems to me a vital part of Bryn
Mawr College life. Without it, we
vould have no cooperative. outlet
for interest and active participa-
-ion in the very things which so
lirectly concern every one of our
oresent and future lives. But while
{ cannot too strongly urge the need
for an intelligent and informed
opinién on political issues, I am
certainly in sympathy with those
who feel that their all-too-crowded
schedules do not permit an exten-
sive acquaintance with the fast-
moving current of domestic politics

‘or foreign affairs, and that not ev-

eryone should be expected to par-
ticipate directly in discussion or
action.

I feel, then, that-Alliance has a
double role to play. First, to serve
as a listening post or lookout, the
one group within the college which
will bring to the attention of ev-
eryone the urgent issues of the
day and provide them with readily
available information, through the
Current Events programs and by
bringing top speakers to the cam-
pus. Secondly and equally impor-
tant, to encourage those who wish
to devote more time and interest
to political affairs, by sponsoring
discussion groups, clubs and work
with political parties.

As a devout political science ma-
jor, I am convinced that the wide
range which this subject covers in-
cludes almost all of the vital prob-
lems which directly concern us, be-
ginning with the question of war
or peace, and extending to the
question of whether the municipal
railway runs on time! If the Alli-
ance can get across to the college
community at large a sense of urg-
ency, a feeling of need for more
and better information on a given
issue, I think it will have accom-
plished a large part of its task.

With a national election to be
held next fall, the Alliance will
have an Onusual opportunity to de-
velop and direct interest in poli-
tics. Perhaps the place to start,
once the basic program for the
year has been delineated, is in im-
provement of the publicity system.
The Alliance program must be
good, but it must be known, so
that people will not only recognize
that the organization is on its toes,
but will be driven—perhaps in des-
peration, if not from interested
choice—to learn something of the
terrific problems which our nation
and the world face.

Alliance is a formalized body of
Bryn Mawr political opinion. It is
a stimulator of campus interest in
current affairs, providing “ins” for
active political work for students
and programs to maintain political
awareness in the entire college.
Alliance should keep its ear to



campus opinion to gain insight
into student political interest and
its eyes outward, on the watch for
developments worth consideration
in the college.

Our present Board, with hall and
freshman representatives, is a

good start in this direction. How-
ever, 1 believe that, instead of one
representative for the upper class-
es which we now have,from each
hall, two might be better, a) to in-
sure -attendance of at least one
upper class hall representative at
each weekly Board meeting and,
b) to keep the membership of up-
per classmen who were interested
and freshman Board members.
Alliance programs this year
should not necessarily be built
around a name, but around some-
one who..has. something vital to
say. Speakers should be fitted to
topics, not the other way around.
Our ’56-57 programs should be as
exciting as the election year in
which they are to be held.
Through November, Alliance
should direct its programs toward

Participating in varsity, inter-

I have also enjoyed working on

the A.A. offers this type of recrea-
tion for the students as a whole,
not only for those interested par-
ticularly in sports.

From what I have seen of the
organization of the A.A. in this
last year, I think it has been
greatly improved. If possible, how-
ever, I would like to see more col-
lege support of the varsity games
and increased publicity of game re-

feel, have been very successful.

A.A. reach the greatest number of
students possible, in as large a va-

is possible and practical. I am so

has been made this year, and would
like to see it continued and fur-

From working with the Athletic
Association I have enjoyed most
the feeling of working together
which I have found on the swim-
ming team. A.A. offers wonderful
and more tangible opportunities to
develop this feeling, which I per-
sonally feel is so important, and I
would like to see the relationship
strengthened between A.A. and
those students who are not ath-
letically inclined. Too many people
either consider A.A. as a necessity,
there simply as a part of the gym
department, or as an entity which
is completely at varsity.

Everyone ought to be able to
find something to interest her in
A.A. Activities like the bridge
tournaments have been successful
in helping to bring A.A. down to a
non-varsity level. More can be
done in this direction, i.e., chess
tournaments, and the class and
hall contests can also stimulate in-
terest in A.A. The latter, however,
need to be better planned and pub-
licized. Pop ant

At the same time, the varsity
teams must not be overlooked. En-
thusiasm is sadly lacking among
all but the teams themselves, and
spectators at meets are rare as a
rule.

A.A. could benefit more students
than it does at present. By nar-

I have found the office of Secre-
tary of the Athletic Association
most rewarding to me, both be-
cause of the friendships I have
made as a result of it and because
of the great enthusiasm of this
year’s president who stirred in me
a real desire to want to work for
the A.A. I believe that I have
gained, through working with the/
Board, the gym department and
the Council, a new sense “of re-
sponsibility, and I have learned
how to cooperate better with those
around me.

By participation in hall and
class games, I have found a great
deal of pleasure. The spirit of
these seems to me contagious and
it is an exhilarating feeling to
strive together to win. By playing
in varsities I have been in contact
with girls of other schools and I
believe that meeting them has

been a valuable experience for me.

Bryn Mawr teams sometimes
seem to lack the spirit which must
be kept alive if a team is to win.
I would like to see more participa-
tion by the junior and senior class-
es in varsity sports and more en-
a whole
>In “these,
ways the spirit of the varsities
might be improved and as a result
more games won.

I believe that the A.A. President

I feel that the League plays a
vital role in the life of every stu-
dent here at Bryn Mawr. As it
says in the organization’s constitu-
tion, we are all in a position to
learn far more than we actually
give.

Through the various committees
such as the Coatesville group, the
Summer ‘Camp and Weekend Work
Camps, the’ League offers. the
chance to every student to get to
know people as individuals, rather
than as members of some social or
economic group.

The office of President has not
been clearly regulated, this leaves
a great deal of room for imagina-
tion and individual interpretation
of the position. My interpretation
would be to think of ways in which
to bring as close a relationship as
possible between League activities
and the-campus as a whole.

For just this reason, it is very
important that the President of

Council meetings in order to be
able to co-ordinate old policy with
new ideas.

The League’s professed stand
that action and .education in the
field of social. service are interde-

ly agree. Unenlightened action
can be actually harmful and knowl-

League would be to try to interest

League’s purpose is to stimulate
interest in social problems and to
provide opportunities for social
service by Bryn Mawrters. All en-
couragement and aid should be giv-
en by the League to particular so-
cial welfare activities in which stu-
dents show an interest.

Next year League should spon-
sor discussions on a theoretical ba-
sis and could arrange — possibly
with Alliance—a panel discussion
or conference with prominent so-
cial theorists participating. .A se-
ries of lectures on social conditions
in foreign countries should be
sponsored (in spite of the lack of
success in this year’s series).

It should be stressed that League
provides an opportunity to increase
one’s knowledge of the real prob-
lems that will have to be faced by
conscientious people after college.

The League Board should be
made to feel more of a _ unified
group; its members should in fact
be the people active in and enthusi-
astic about working for better so-
cial conditions, and human rela-

tionships. ,

Harvard Theologian Discusses ‘Existentialism And Religion’;
Shows Ambiguity Between Man’s Existence And Essence

Goodhart, Feb. 27—The existen-
tialist analysis is that which asks
the questions as to what makes
existence existence, that analysis
which discovers those categories
which distinguish man’s existence
from what he essentially is. Thus
noted Dr. Paul Tillich, University
Professor of Thelogy at Harvard,
in his lecture on “Existentialism

and Religion”, sponsored by the
Class of 1902.
The ultimate value of existen-

| tialism is that it asks the ques-

tions, that it brings to conscious-
ness the problems implicit in the
human situation. The answers to
these questions, in extentialist
thinkers from’ Pascal to Sartre,
necessarily come from elsewhere.

Extentialism presupposes a dis-
tinction between it and its con-
trary, essentialism. Both theories
define the human situation in terms
of man’s essence and man’s exist-
ence. The essentialists feel either
that man is what he essentially. is,
or that he is progressing toward
the point at which existence will
reach essence and be equivalent to
it:

The existentialist feels that al-

>, though this reconciliation might be

uttered in the minds of the Philo-
sophers, in the mind of the individ-
ual who must decide here and now,
there is no reconciliation between



essence and existence, The world
is” not reconciled; we are still in
conflict; and this is our destiny.
Dr. Tillich feels that existential-
ism in the 20th century “is the

greatest gift which has happened
to this diseased thing called theol-
ogy”. Existentialism is important
to religion because its analysis of
man’s very existence provides an
understanding of the questions to
which religious symbols give the
answers. We cannot grasp the
answers unless we understand the
questions to which they are the
answers,

Existentialism discovers the fin-
itude of the human situation and
our awareness to it; as Heidegger
says, we are “thrown into life”
from nothing and we return to
nothing. It provides a rediscovery
of the unconscious elements ‘in
man’s personal life and shows us
the finitude of reason, the depend-
ence of reason on trends in our-
selves which determine us when we
believe we are free.

Existentialism depicts the theme
of “estrangement? of man from
himself and the social estrange-
ment of man from his community.
This gives us an insight into the
background of our loneliness, the
inability to stand solitude which
drives us to conformity with Ries-
man’s “lonely crowd”.

And fourth, existentialism dis-



covers the ambiguity of existence:
nothing is absolutely good or bad,
and man also is a mixture of good
and bad. This discovery is a pre-
supposition for the understanding
of the Protestant doctrine of “ac-
ceptance in spite of being unac-
ceptable”.

Religion ‘gives existentialism the
answer that the tragic element is
not the ultimate one,, It opens. the
eyes so that they can see autono-
mously. It gives to the descrip-
tion of man’s situation a new di-
mension, that of the eternal. It
liberates existence from complete
tragedy in that it tells us that al-
though every human being is dés-
tined to estrangement, the individ-
ual is both dependent on. his des-
tiny and responsible. This seem-
ing paradox is not really a contra-
diction when it is described in sym-
bols rather than categories.

Dr. Tillich feels that the ques-
tion of existence can be answered
today by courage, the central ele-
ment of all faith—courage in spite
of finitude, estrangement, and am-
biguity. This courage is faith in
the message that we are accepted;
it age eg a to accept
ourgelves and to affirm ourselves,
to-“risk ourselves and perhaps win

ourselves”.

Viner Speaks On “Moral Philosophy
In The Service Of The Status Quo”

GOODHART, Feb. 22. — That
most moral philosophers writing in
England between 1660 and 1776

looked for the moral sources to e

plain the value of a static social
condition which they were already
predisposed to espouse was the

lecture on “Moral Philosophy in
the Service of the Status Quo.”

This lecture was: the third in a se-
ries on British Social Thought be-
tween 1660 and. 1776.

The period is characterized by
an essential unity and harmony in
its moral thought. It conforms to
the spirit of the age, that of “froz-
en. and. static social conservatism,”
and its purpose is not to criticize
or change England, but explain
why existing conditions are so
good. - :

In deriving the splendid existing
conditions. from—moral-sources,-the
philosophers’of the period fall into
ecntending schools, all of ,which
were forced to consider and refute
the social, political and ethical the-
ories of Thomas Hobbes.

Hobbes accepts the existence of
moral obligation (“laws of na-
ture’) but feels that because man
is self-seeking and the slave of his
passions, morality is inoperable in
practice unless it is implemented
with a power strong enough to

cause moral laws to be obeyed.

Such a doctrine was anathema to
Hobbes’ contemporaries, who gen-
erally question Hobbes’ views on
human nature. The central theme
of their thought is utilitarian: how
is the temporal happiness of man
to be obtained, they ask. The an-
swers fall into two main categor-
ies, the so-called “sentimental” and
selfish” schools of thought.

The Sentimental School, includ-
ing such thinkers as Cumberland,
Shaftesbury, Hutcheson and Adam
Smith, felt that man had a natural
instinct toward rationality, benev-
olence and socialization.

The Selfish School accepts
Hobbes’ account of human nature:
man is calculating, self-seeking
and incapable of disinterested be-
havior. However, the group known
as the “theological utilitarians” be-
lieves that much of social behavior
is outside the jurisdiction of posi-
tive-law..-Therefore,-we-need.-relig-
ious principles; these we obtain
through revelation which tells us
that if we are virtuous we will be
rewarded after death.

Questionnaire for candidates for
Chairman of the Chapel Commit-
tee:

1. What is your concept of the
Chapel Committee, and of its role
on campus?

its aims and program next year, if
elected ?

8. What changes’ and improve-
ments would you suggest in the
present program and/or organiza-
tion of the Committee?

dates for Chairman of the Chapel

Chapel Committee’s role includes
three main vital functions: al-
though it is required to fulfill the
students’ religious needs not an-
swered off campus, it must make
certain that the churches of the
community are welcoming the stu-
dent, Accepting her as a temporary
member of the congregation if she
wishes. A second function is help-
ing to lead the student toward a
wider un tanding of and respect
for religions other than her own.
Chapel Committee’s most impor-

tant responsibility lies in encour-
aging and providing for an intel-
lectual pursuit of religion com-
parable to the rigor of our aca-
demic work.

The.stress in Chapel Committee
“must be toward the _ religious
awareness and growth of the indi-
vidual student and the reconcilia-
tion of the theological, intellectual

_ and the practical worth of religion.

Chapel Committee is certainly not

an evangelizing body, except in the

bibcllnain
on 1s es-



Next year chapel! speakers
should again be. urged to present
their own views unhesitatingly,
welcoming critical discussion. It is
essential to encourage discussion
and thought by the students, them-
selves. #9

Chapel Committee both repre-
sents and leads the religious inter-
est of the college. In its job .as
representative, I feel that Chapel
Committee should be cognizant of
every shade of opinion; in its role
as leader, Chapel Committee
should be alert to all religious ac-
tivity and movement and inform
the college of what is going on in
the religious world.

Of course, the main job is the
provision for the Sunday evening
chapel services, and there is room
here for change and development,
both in choice of speakers and in
the types of services. I think that
a tremendous improvement made
recently was that of the new em-
phasis on the Sunday discussion
following the ‘service. Not only
was the specific change from Tues-
day afternoon a practical one from
the point of view of student inter-
est, but the very attitude of flexi-
bility in response to changing
needs seemed to me most signifi-
cant.

I feel that the Chapel Committee
must be non-partisan in its repre-
sentation of the college as a whole.
On the other hand, I feel strongly
that it must encourage strong re-
ligious interests, or else be con-

thy. Devotion to one particular de-
nomination or creed does not ne-
cessitate the believer’s lack of tol-
eration or desire for isolation.
Surely it is in the clash of oppo-
site beliefs that each one’s
strength is proved, that progress
toward the truth is made.

| -T bélieve that I am well-equipped

by background—being a P. K., or
preacher’s kid—to handle the me-
chanical problems of Chapel Com-
mittee. But I feel also that I would
try to discover the college atti-
tudes, and would fulfill my own re-
quirement of non-partisanship in
representing the college as a
whole.

The role of the Chapel Commit-
tee is to present speakers and to
allow free discussion in order to
elarify special points for some stu-
dents and to help others find their
place with respect to God and man.
It is not a church substitute, but
is rather a preliminary clearing
ground for those in doubt and a
supplement for those with a firm
faith.

The Sunday evening chapels,

this year, have included a good
cross section of clergymen of vari-
ous faiths. However, I should like
to see the weekday program in-
clude more speakers from less-
known religions —the speaker on
Islam was a good start. A series
clarifying some of our modern
American denominations might be
interesting. More use of the stu-
dent panel discussion technique
would keep topics and arguments
at a student level of interest and
understanding. Most of all, I
should stress the non-sectarian
character of the Committee and
would urge wider participation.

As for the Committee itself, I
am toying with the idea of having
membership on a strictly volun-
tary rather than an elected Hall
Rep basis. In this way there would
be real interest on the Committee,
and more might be done with the
program.

The technical function of the
Bryn Mawr League is to coordi-
nate the various activities of the
social groups on campus. It pro-
vides the supervision for their con-
tinual performance and the mech-
anism for. inaugurating new
groups. In addition the League
has a Speakers Program which at-
tempts to bring qualified people to
Bryn Mawr to give us information
on the current experiments and
problems: in the broad areas of
health and welfare.

The importance of the League is
Jin its service to the “community,”
which assumes a double meaning
in this instance. The students who
participate in League activities are
indeed offering constructive and
much-needed service to the people
of the neighboring area, but at the
same time they are developing
their own attitude and enlarging
their insight and ability so as to
be better able to cope with the
world they will enter when they
leave college. |

In its. role as companion to the
other Big Five activities, the Lea-
gue is valuable, for it provides a
voice for a group of people who
might not otherwise be heard, and
this. additional attitude can be uti-
lized at Undergrad Council for the
formulation of campus policy.

In every way the League is a
service organization, and therein
its value lies. It does not need to
monopolize its participants’ time,
but it works in combination with
all the forces of college and the in-

dividual’s personality to channel -

energy and interest into construc-
tive giving.

My purpose in heading League
is to continue the fine work that
has been done; to insure and sta-
bilize the incorporation of new or-
ganizations; and to aid and de-
velop League’s interests and ac-
tivities.
