Number is not the sole criterion
of smallness in an institution, Mrs.
Marshall commented in the convo-
cation opening the second semes-
ter; more important than absolute
size is the “expectation of a sense
of community.”

Discussing “the old question
with compelling newness” of the
proper size of a small college, Mrs.
Marshall remarked that this _in-
quiry began with new emphasis
right after the war. She called
this the “watery period” in educa-
tional writing since the huge in-
coming college population was de-
scribed variously as “tidal waves”,
“deluges”, or “the coming storm”,
The problem was oversimplified,
as ‘were the solutions. “Double
everything”, some counseled, while
others recommended the enlarge-
ment of private institutions; still
others advised keeping small col-
leges small.

Mrs. (Marshall discussed the
question from two angles: one,
our obligation to students, and
what has been done already to en-
lange the college; and the, other,
“what is smallness,” and the poss-
ibility of keeping this quality in
line with the plans for enlarge-
ment.

Bryn Mawr has been called a
“small university” because of the
presence of a graduate school
large in comparison with the un-
dergraduate school. The graduate

Miss McBride Talks
Price Increases For

Where is the money coming
from? Where is it going? On
Tuesday, February 2, Miss McBride
met with students’ in the Common
Room to answer these questions.

It is an almost universally
known fact that the college spends
more on each student than it takes
in. Next year tuition at Bryn
Mawr will be raised $150, and res-
idence fees $100. The increase in
tuition will be used to raise faculty
salaries, to add new members to
the faculty, and to increase ap-
propriations for the library.

The pay increase to faculty will
be the continuation of a program
of gradual raises im faculty salar-
ies. This program mwas initiated
immediately after the war when
the highest salary paid to a fac-
ulty member was $5400. On the
average, proffessors salaries this
year are doubled that amount. But
the members of the faculty, said
Miss McBride, are still greatly un-
derpaid.

At the present time the college
contributes $85 towards each stu-
dent’s academic cost and $110 to-
wards her cost of residence. The
proposed increase will reduce this



deficit as well as
money necessary for raises in fac-
ulty salary.

with the $250 increase in cost would
be ani increase in the number and
amount of scholarships so that
none of the students currently at
Bryn Mawr would (find it necessary
to withdraw from the college. The
primary concern of the directors
with regard to the increase is that
prospective students might tend to
choose a state university over a
privately endowed college such as
Bryn Mawr for financial reasons.

Editor of Journal
Talks of Argentina

“You can’t tell the literary his-
tory of Argentina since 1931 with-
out the magazine Sur,” began Miss
Victoria Ocampo, as she delivered
the 1902 lecture last )Wednesday

night on the topic, “Intellectual||—

Life in Contemporary Argentina”.

Miss Ocampo, editor of Sur, a
literary magazine in Buenos Aires,
told of her adventures in starting
and carrying through this project.
“We were not catering to the ma-
jority, on the contrary we shocked
the bourgeois.” Rather their pur-
pose was to give the young writ-
ers an outlet for their work, an
opportunity to develop their per-
sonality and the personality of
Argentine letters. They wanted to
give them a chance to be “human,
modern, Latin, and most of all
Spanish American.”

A Month in Prison

“We have traveled through a
difficult and humiliating time in
Argentine history since our begin-
nings in 1931,” said (Miss Ocampo.
She told how she had spent a
month in prison under the Peron
regime. “The magazine was not
censored because it was evidently
thought ‘high brow’ and not im-
portant, ibut by putting myself and
five other writers in jail, perhaps
he was showing his power.” The
speaker said that her contributors
were not a political group but that
they write in an atmosphere of
liberty. “Everything we said was
against him (Peron), to breathe
was against him,” she said, but
added that now they can write
and speak freely.

Despite Enlarging, Efforts Of New Executive Board Will Bring
Robert Frost To Read Poetry Here In March

provides for an annual visit to the
campus by some person of emin-
ence-and-universal interest.

Born in San Francisco, Mr. Frost
is best known as a poet of New
England; among the titles of his
books -are North of Boston and
New Hampshire. His poems, though
realistic, are filled with what Louis
Untermeyer calls “a feeling of
quiet classicism.”

Two Types of Realist

According to (Mr...Frost himself,
“There are two types of realist
_the one who offers a good deal of
‘dirt with his potato to show that
Bt is a real ome; and the one who
lis satisfied with the potato brush-
fad clean, {I’m inclined to the sec-
lond kind ... To me, the thing that
art does for life is to clean it, to
strip it to form.”

In the preface to his Collected
Poems Mr. Frost writes, “Like a
piece of ice on a hot stove the
poem must ride on its own melting

. Its most precious quality will
remain its having run itself and
carried the poet with it.”

Mr. Frost last won the Pulitzer
Prize in 1948 for The Witness
Tree. Among his _ publications
since then are two verse plays,
The Masque of Reason, and his lat-
est volume of poems, Aforesaid.

Freshmen To Give

“Happiness Germ”
Saturday Evening

The search for the mysterious
element “x”, the seeret and miss-
ing ingredient in the formula for
happiness, is the theme of this
year’s Freshman Show, The Hap-
piness Germ. The show, which
culminates four hectic days of soph-
omore dominatiom over freshmen,
will be given Saturday evening at
8:30 in Goodhart auditorium.

The original play was written
by the director, Mary Johnson, the
assistant director, Annette Eustis,
Joan Chapin, who also did the
choreography, Jane Goldstone, and
Susan Stevenson.

Music Abundant

Sara Shapley wrote the music,
which comprises a large portion
of the show time. Each group of
characters has a song and, also,
Polly and the Little Man often con-
verse in operatic style. To aug-
ment the traditional piano accom-
paniment to be played by Shirley
Daniels, Ellen Magaziner will play
the.. viola, Ginger McShane, the
violin, Marian Davis, the ’cello,
and Sara will play a lampshade
and brush, bongo drums, and the
‘piano,

Karen Christenfeld, as the Little
Man, and Ann Witman, as Polly,
form the point of unity for the
four character groups as_ each,
through song, dance, and humor- *
ous dialogue, shows its point of
view towards the finding of the
Happiness Germ.

Bottling Considered

The scientists, Ann Kneeland,
Cynthia Gardiner, Virginia Mc-
Shane, Elizabeth Boardman, Hilary
Fleming, and Julie Kasius, think
it can be bottled: The school chil-
dren, Elizabeth Appledorf, Rachel

‘tific point of view.

E. B. White once suggested that
if all the nations of the world: sat
down together to play in an orch-
estra, they would learn a surpris-
ing amount about harmony and co-
operation. ‘Chamber music, being
originally that music played by a
small group in, logically enough, a
chamber, since concert halls were
not yet in existence in the 17th
century, seems as if it would be
especially effective, though the
danger of a wrong note is a wor-
rying thought.

There were, however, few wrong
notes at the program of Baroque
chamber music presented by Arts
Forum in the Ely Room of Wynd-
ham, February 3. Julia and Allen
Clayton, Caroline and Frederic Cun-
ningham, and ‘Alison Fowle created
with an astonishing variety of in-
struments a delightful harmony.

Purcell’s Suite from “Abelazer”
opened the program, with its three
sprightly airs, a sedate and prim
minuet and gay hornpipe. Mr.
Cunningham then. presented his
audience with some “Baroque re-
marks”, humble and apologetic in
true 18th century fashion for the
group of “rank amateurs.”

——~~“A Positive Academic Freedom —

When Vice-president Nixon last Wednesday cast a tie-
breaking vote in the Senate defeating a measure that -would
have provided federal aid to both school construction and
teachers he was motivated, he says, by fear of federal con-
trol of education. This distrust of academic control is one
shared generally by educators and is it not likely that
many would endorse a measure which was believed to create
or involve a limitation of academic freedom. Nevertheless,
though federal aid seems intimately connected with control
and control with the sacrifice of freedom, this, intimacy may
be one merely of association and not, as has been continually
implied, of direct and binding causality.

Academic freedom needs little definition; government
control, its allegedly potential nemesis, may best be under-
stood in terms of. specifics. 'When the federal government
gives or lends funds at low rates to institutions it may re-

‘serve the right to attach conditions to their expenditure. In

the case of a school or college, these conditions might deter-
mine the size of classrooms constructed, the allegiences of the
students chosen to receive aid or, conceivably, the content of
the courses taught. Both simple intuition and not-so-simple
history teach that such controls should be avoided, and should
they be shown to be necessary consequences of federal aid,
the bill defeated must, indeed, have deserved the condemna-
tion of Mr. Nixon. :

Nonetheless, academic freedom is more than an absence
of restrictions, and restrictions to education are not only
thase which the Federal Government, for economy or exped-
iency might choose to enforce. Poor classroom facilities and
the lack of first-rate teachers are also limitations condition-
ing education. By freeing schools from economic barriers, fed-
eral aid might be a means to a greater, more positive freedom.

Thus, depending on one’s slant, control or freedom may
be deduced as the obvious and necessary consequence of
federal aid. Fortunately, a solution to this apparent antin-
omy, does exist: there is a means of balancing the decided
evils of extended control with the equally certain advantages
of federal aid. It was, in fact demonstrated by the adminis-
trations of Bryn Mawr College and six other schools in their
rejection of the government’s National Defense Education
Act student loans program on the grounds of the Disclaimer
Affidavit attached to it. The means, is, basically, an increased
sensitivity to our rights and freedoms and an active prepared-
ness to defend them. If to obtain greater freedoms like those
inherent in improved academic facilities, we must sacrifice
particular liberties, e. g., the prerogative to choose the num-
ber or size of rooms in a dorm, we must in compensation be
particularly certain that more abstract and less tanglble
liberties don’t escape us.

Next month, the repeal of the non-Communist affidavit
will be debated in the Senate. If this repeal is effected then
the temporary existence of the disclaimer clause may be seen

to have been ultimately a fortunate occurrence, for it enabled |

educators-to demonstrate a singularly important lesson, one
which might, in less concrete terms, have been only vaguely
appreciated.

Armed with the sort of active sensitivity and responsi-
bility demonstrated by those who rejected the funds of the
National Defense Education act on the grounds of principle,
we can be capable of reaping the benefits of federal aid to
education, and can look forward to using it to strengthen,
then, rather than curtail, academic freedom.

Comments on Criticism

The campus is going to be a lot emptier on Wednesday .

afternoons from four to six than it has. been in the past,
and the Music Room in Goodhart a lot more crowded. This
change in the normal run of events is the result of the great
amount of interest that has been excited by a new semester
course, the Seminar in Criticism, in which visiting lecturers
as well as members of the college faculty will speak on the
theme of aesthetics and criticism of art.

It is naturally difficult to make sweeping statements
about the course when it has met only once, but even one
class was enough to make a number of things clear. The
appeal of the seminar to students with a wide variety of
interests is an indication of its versatility and the importance
of the issues with which it is concerned. Active participa-
tion on the part of the many faculty members listening to
the class lends an extraordinary degree of vitality to the

discussion. -The course, not really a seminar in the accepted

sense of the word, is in its time of meeting, and also in its
nature, a compromise between a regular academic course and

a program of individual lectures given by visiting speakers,

and as such, combines the coherence of one with the scope of
the other. In addition, it promises to be characterized by a

. delicate juxtaposing of subtly but significantly differing per-

sonal views on the general subject of aesthetic criticism.
Where opinions so differ as to not. exclude one another it is
likely that they will exert a reciprocal influence. In such a

-gituation it seems that actual development of the views of

the speakers, 98 well as the voicing of them, may well take
place in the course of the semester. It is with real excite-
it that w

wiven.

by Catherine Rodgers

The January issue of the Bryn
Mawr Review is a good one. It
has confined itself to contributions
from the college, and the decision
is justified. On the cover is an
‘elegant sketch of an old desk from
Wyndham, presumably the home
of the local muse. The lady de-
serves respect if not blind. devo-

Richmond Lattimore’s poem
“Well-Head” provides a fine and
appropriate prologue for the col-
lection of verse. Of the undergrad-
uate poems, Rob Colby’s “Entrance
to a Sightless Hermitage” is the
most interesting. The poem has
vigor. it catches the sound of a
human voice speaking and uses
that sound to give its thought im-
mediacy. The imagery is striking
but often lacks precision, particu-
larly in the case of the eagles and
the mice. ee

Fog Inspires

Fog inspired two of the contrib-
utors. Jane Goldstone’s “Morning
Rain” collects impressions of a
damp morning. The effect gained
by the simple declarative sentences
is marred by the inversion in the
seventh line and the awkward epi-
thet in the fifth. Pauline B, Dub-
kim achieves poignance with repe-
titions of phrase and cadence in
her “Spectres: Foggy Day.” The
poem is uneven: the conclusion
makes much of the imagery of
the beginning seem irrelevant. The
“anfractuous caves” and _ the
thoughts that “toll” appear. par-
ticulary unnecessary.

Jean ‘Sullivan’s brief “Past Pres-
ent” does little more than suggest
an interesting theme. All of these
poems seem unsure in their use of
the liberty that free verse offers

experimented with rime.
(Miss Schaar’s “She Gives” uses her
stanza competently but does not
succed in making her sentiments
arresting. Miss Hess uses a more
elaborate rime scheme in her two
poems and has fun with it. There
is a nice contrast bewteen uphill
and downhill motion in the “Bi-
cycle Bard.” However, the ne-
eeossitics o1 tier Time Stnheme over-
tax ‘the writer's vocabulary.
“The Confessions of an Unbeliev-
er” suffers from the same prob-
lem although this poem seems to
have ibeen carefully designed.
‘Prose Selections

Prose makes up the bulk of the
reveiw. There are both sketches
and stories. None of these is com-
pletely successful although there is
much to admire. The contributors’
prose is quite flexible. Even in its
most hectic moments, it avoids tur-
gidity.

Of the more informal pieces,
Frances Hargrave’s “A Sketch” is
the. most. graceful. -The narrator
follows. some small children up a
hill to look at swans. Through
the details of the children’s chat-
ter, the writer sustains her mood.
The writing itself is clear and un-
affected. Rob Colby in her “On
Seeing a Simple Woman Steal”
chooses a difficult subject but han-
dles it tactfully. Occasional over-
writing does not weaken the im-
pact of her account of the simple
woman’s moment of affection. The
“Monastery on Top of the Island,”
by Helen Fainbank combines vision
and travelogue. The combination
is not altogether happy, although
the writing itself is unexception-
able: ‘‘Widdershins’” is all vision.

worthy of the Scots that gave her
her title.

There are three love stories
here. E. Anne Eberle avoids
many pitfalls in “The Silent Sea-
son.” The story’s ending is neat
but not very moving. The matter-
of-fact tone of the narrator is not
able to do everything that needs
doing. The insight that Joanne
Field displays in her portrait of
the heroine of “The Voyage” makes
that story remarkable. Some of
the detail-is-overworked, but the
contrast between the placid rou-
tine of the railway coach and ‘the
anxious thoughts of the girl is
very effective. ‘“Sunscraping” by
Noel Clark has many virtues. It
is tightly written, gay and wise.
The way in which the descriptions
of the sun and the rocky coast are
integrated with the play between
the lovers and the vivacious match-
maker is admirable.

Descriptions Memorable

Jane Taylor’s “Sundown” devel-
ops nicely and reaches a definite
climax, (However, it is the de-
scriptions of the household and
the countryside that make the
story memorable. Some limitation
in the narrator’s point of view
may account for the fact that the
ending is a little flat. “Rosa Mys-

fine scenes. The extravagance of
the style. does weaken the story
at crucial moments. The writer
appears to he luxuriating in -her
own talents.

By their breadth of interest and

Letters to the Editor

To the Editor:

A thought: how would the stu-
dent body respond to the idea of
having a regular movies series
with good foreign and Hollywood
movies shown on campus? Con-
necticut College does this with
much success, drawing not ony
the college community but people
fromthe whole area. Admission
is generally 35¢, more or less, de-
pending on the rental price of the

film. [Brown shows—cartoons—and-

Walt Disney movies all during ex-
am weeks, and this too has been
successful, as a way of relief from
academic pressures.

The transportation and admis-

{sion costs for goimg into Philadel-

phia are such that prevent'a great
deal of traffic to desirable movies,
so perhaps we could do something
about it. :

It might be that Undergrad
could do something with this idea
if there were student interest.

‘No, doubt Haverford would co-
operate if approached.

‘This campus is enough like a
cemetery during the week; week-
ends are that much worse. Not all
of us escape for weekends and thus
we end up at the Bryn Mawr movie
theatre out of desperation, enjoying
litle more than the pleasure of sin-
cere sarcasm directed at the film
we see before us.

I have no knowledge of specific
things to do about it, but surely
‘with some enthusiasm directed to-
‘ward the rounding out of our cam-
pus life, something could be done.

How think you?

Thank you - - -

Mr. Samuel Aaron, in a lecture on
an unusual subject sponsored by
Arts Council and the French Club,
given in the Common Room on
Friday, February 5. “In its prog-
ress through youth, adolescence
and age,” he continued, “each wine
has @ unique personality and de-
velopm

The individual personality of the
grape that is to .become..wine is
formed through its struggle against
adverse conditions. As an example
of this phenomenon Mr. Aaron cit-
ed the Champagne grape which
grows in and struggles against a
soil that is almost pure chalk.

“Wine,” said Mr. Aaron, “spends
its childhood im the barrel and its
adolescence in the bottle.” . The
personality of the final product is
dependent on the length of this
childhood and adolescence as well
as on the individual character of
the grape.

In accordance with his topic,
“The Wines of France,’’ Mr. Aaron
continued to speak in particular of
the French vineyards and of the
various types of wine produced.
France produces” one-third of the
wine of the world. Its production
is 40-times that of the United
States. France also imports more

Cooper Discusses

Quest Of Picasso
For General Idiom

‘Mr. Douglas Cooper has been
writing for the last twenty-five
years on. nineteenth and‘ twentieth
century art. He is about to publish
a book on Picasso. In an “infor-
mal talk” Tuesday evening, illus-
trated by slides on Picasso since
_|1945, Mr. Cooper gave a preview
of some aspects of his coming book.

Picasso, Mr. ‘Cooper pointed out,
doesn’t progress by a continuous
artistic development. He is fun-
damentally anti-academic, and re-
fuses to stick to any one approach
to reality. Due partly to the fact
that he is an avid collector of art,
Picasso has an extraordinary know-
ledge of various art forms and art
objects. All typés of art styles
are intimately known to him and
therefore, when painting a picture,
he is able-to-draw on this enor-
mous fund of knowledge. This
means that his art incorporates a
plurality of idioms.

Unity In- Theme

In Picasso’s painting, the unity
is to be found largely in content,
through recurring themes. The
range of theme is actually very
narrow, although. it tends to seem
extensive because of continual va-
riations on the recurring themes.

Three main themes of Picasso’s
art discussed by Mr. Cooper were
those of motherhood, of classical
rights, and of the bull. The theme
of motherhood is intimately relat-
ed to Picasso’s private life, start-
ing in 1919, when he became a
father. That of classical rights
coincided. with his visits to the
Mediterranean, and the theme of
the bull—usually in the form of a
bull killed in front of a beautiful
‘woman—underwent extensive de-
velopment in successive periods of
his art.

In ‘the period from 1906-1914
‘Picasso, with (Bracque, evolved
Cubism. They were working to-
gether for a more complete rep-
resentation, more literal and solid.
This (Cubist vocabulary was an en-
tirely new one. At first, in this
new style, Picasso has_a fairly re-
stricted subject matter because of
the complex pictorial problems.

New Subject Matter

Later, in the 1920’s, having mas-
tered Cubism, he introduced new
subject matter, much of it drawn
from_his private life. At this point
he separated from Bracque in be-
coming more and more concerned
with himself, more concentric in
his art. There is no aspect of
his time which doesn’t interest

Faculty Unearths
1919 Bowl

by Judy Stuart

“Who was the oldest Gold Dust
Twin?” This might draw a blank
from our TV contestants, but Bryn
Mawrters ‘were at one time ap-
proached by such a query. “Al-

for ek evi. the idea of a stu-
dent contest on general topics is
not,”-remembers (Miss .De Laguna.
When Miss Park was president of
the College she sponsored two tests
each spring; one-a literature test
and the other a general knowl-
edge competition. The winners
were awarded cash prizes. The
faculty used to make up the ques-
tions and any undergraduate could
join and try her luck.

In 1919 seventy students match-
ed their wits. When knowledge
failed, questions were-.met—with
the same imagination that was
displayed last Thursday night.
When asked “What is the Irren-
dentist Movement?” one ingenious
quiz kid replied, “a modern method
of dental irrigation.” There seem-
ed to be an “appalling gap” that

year in the knowledge of art and
natural sciences. There is no evi-

dence, though, that their sports
knowledge was tested conclusively.
A student-sponsored contest called
the Illiteracy Quiz, whose prize
was 100 animal crackers, followed
up the General Knowledge Contest.
Questions from this contest in-
cluded “‘Name the 57 varieties”,
and “Where does the phrase

1*Your nose knows’ come from?”

(answer: “Sloane’s Linament”). In
response to “Locate Pedunk” came
“Opposite Squedunk”.

(Preliminary finalists Helen Fair-
bank, Nancy Beyer, Nancy Hoff-
man, Sarah Bosworth and Lois
Potter ‘were chosen by faculty
judges iMr. Berliner, Mr. Lattimore,
Mr. Berthoff, Mr. Brown and Miss
Marti after an evening of typical
and topical quiz-program ques-
tions. On Sunday atfernoon the
contestants faced three new teams
of challengers.

Comic Talent

While no new. academic genius-
es-were exposed, there was a-great
display of hitherto undiscovered
comic talent om the parts of both

comment: “I’m shocked at her for

Himmel Ohne Sterne, the first
film of Haverford’s triple-feature
show last Friday night, illustrated
the problems brought about by the
division of—Germany_ after World
War Il. This was accomplished
by showing the effect of the East/
West border on personal relation-
ships wihch transcended it.

The general mood and atmos-
phere of the film was a very pow-
erful one of human feeling strug-
gling against terror and hopeless-
ness. Characters and action were
tied closely to this overall theme
and were also excellent in their
own right. In plot construction,
however, the film was somewhat
overly drawn out. . This excessive
length became clearly apparent to
me only in retrospect; in the course
of the film I wasn’t aware of any
slackening of suspense. in this
connection, the reaction of the au-
dience as a whole, or perhaps only
of its most vocal segment, puzzled
me. It seemed nervously eager for
a laugh. There is no particular
point in attempting to fathom
this general response. Suffice it
to say that I myself found the film
very effective. Roberts Hall, the
projector, the film itself, or a com-
bination..of all three of these’ ele-
ments, made for a showing which |
was vastly more polished technical-
ly than any I have seen in Good-
hart, and the Genman was very
clear and easy to understand,

German Film Called Success,
Guiness Movie Gives Variety

Boing was delightful as always,
full of ideas and sound effects.
Alec Guiness in The Promoter
plays the part of a washerwoman’s
son who gives fortune a helping
hand to raise himself in the world.
The story is a—very imaginative
one and, as one might expect, the
film lives mostly through Guiness,
with his vast range and subtlety
of facial expression. Altogether
the evening was interesting and
variegated. Aifter all, with an ex-
cellent German psychological film,
McBoing-Boing, and Guiness it
would be hard to go far wrong.

Weekend Plans

In order to make this coming
weekend as entertaining as poss-
ible for Bryn. Mawr students and
their dates, activities have been
planned for both evenings. Fri-
day night there will be an open
house in Radnor from 9:00 until
1:00. The theme is to be “Cupid’s
Capers” and there will be a charge
of $.60 per couple.

After the show on Saturday
evening, there will be a dance un-
til 2:00 in the gym, sponsored by
Undergrad. The theme, in keep-

ing with the spirit of the produc- °

tion, will be. “Papillons.” Music
will be supplied by Eddie Clauson

Quaint Book

Parisian Corner in Library

by Isa Brannon

For those who frequent the Flea
Market in Paris, Bryn Mawr has
its own little nook. This is the
small corner in the library which
houses the hook sale. (Recently
the sale has lost much of its archaic
quality by replenishing its stock.

given similar questions. Decision
of the judges was not final; some
contestants were too funny to let
go because they lacked sufficient
knowledge om the chronological or-
der of Marlene Dietrich, Zasu Pitts
and Jean Harlow, or on the prob-
lem of who shot a president besides
John Wilkes Booth.

It was discovered after ‘Thursday
that. the preliminary finalists did
not know much about sports, poli-
tics, and current events. The fact
that one of them found that catnip
is to cat as gooberpeas are to the
Georgia militia did compensate in
part for lacks in factual knowl-
edge.

On Sunday the questions were of
a degree of difficulty suitable to a
precocious pre-adolescent boy, but
seemed somewhat beyond the ken
of the college women. He (the
pre-adolescent in question) might
have known what four Bryn Mawr
girls did not, that “No refuge save
the hireling from the terror of
flight or the gloom of the grave”,
was not from Uncle Tom’s Cabin,
but the “Star4Spangled Banner”
and that a gooberpea is to an ele-
phant or secondarily to a monkey
_ or squirrel, what catnip is to its
feline counterparts.

A relief from the air of conde-
scending ‘wittiness was one con-
testant’s response when asked how

masters. When acquainted with
the answer given, she nodded ap-
pproval, apparently satisfied with
the erudition of the GE musicolo-
gists.
Platitudes

A series of questions on common
clichés, platitudes, and nonsensi-
cal expressions garnered unusual
answers. To the incisors of a lady
chicken, one contestant equated
“hen’s teeth, scarce as.” The next
contestant, apparently enthused at
this mew grammatical form said
to “sautée of ah ichthyologists’s
subject, “fish to fry, —other.”

Their own ignorance of average

to ruin a few hours of fun. More-
over, the knowledge imparted was
of indubitable value, e.g., the fact

school,_____—

From 64 to 74 percent (varying
in each school) of those compris-
ing the Class of 1963 offered five
or more years of language in high
school.

These six institutions have stu-

dents enrolled representing each
of the 50 states. Each college has
a@—greater percentage of public
school students than private school
attendees. It is _ traditionally
thought that language preparation
is stronger in the latter type of
secondary school.

Latin is the language most fre-
quently. studied. by applicants.
French, ‘Spanish, German, and Rus-
sian follow in that order.

The study shows, however, that
the colleges are not satisfied with
the caliber of the language prep-
aration offered. Professor Janet
Ross, chairman of Vassar’s French
Department, has commented, “We
cannot see any improvement in
preparatory language training yet,
but we are hopeful. It isn’t in the
number of units offered but rather
in the quality that change is need-
ed.”

It is significant to note that this
study was completed before the
launching of Russia’s Sputnik
placed added emphasis on the
sciences.

The income of the college may
be summarized as follows: nv

1/3 tuition.

1/8 residence fees and faculty
housing rents.

1/8 endowments and gifts to the
college.

The increase in cost constitutes
the second of its kind im the last
three years. A raise in tuition and
board ‘of $300 became effective in
September, 11957.

In the question period following
the talk, suggestions for lowering
the expenses of the college were
made. These included informing
the kitchen when you plan to miss
a meal, and shutting off electric
lights when they are not in use.
The ideas of one central dining
room for the whole college and of
off-campus residence for wpper-
classmen were also discussed.
Miss McBride closed the meeting
with a request that the students
present speak with others about
the proposed increases and the
problems involved so that they
might undergo consideration by the

him but, while drawing from the
period, he is also looking in on
himself.
Metaphors For Body
By then end of the 1920’s Picas-
so was pursuing formal metaphors
for the human body, and, at the
same time indulging in symbolism.
His style doesn’t determine the
subject matter. In painting, Picasso
is playing on two levels; both ex-
pressing emotion and exploiting

In the slides which accompanied
the body of his talk, Mr. Cooper
illustrated aspects of Picasso’s art,
its roots and variety. He followed
the motherhood theme through its
classical expression, which contains
tenderness but also an element of
mockery of the classical style, to
a post-war style incorporating ele-
ments of Cubism. (He pointed out
that Picasso draws actual likeness-
es of the people involved, who are
most often members of his family
and his female friends, and they
also become ‘ways for expressing
other themes.

(Mr. Cooper described the “Nude
Combing ‘Her Hair” as an expres-
sionistic distortion of the human
springing from Picasso’s
exacerbation at the beginning of
the war. The enormous female
figures which so often occur in
Picasso’s art are also an expres-
sion of his resentment of the wom-
en who dominate his life.

Victim Of Century

Picasso as a painter finds him-
self a victim of the twentieth cen-
tury, in which there is a gulf be-
tween the artist and his public.
Society cultivates the artist and at
the same time rejects him. {Im at-
tempting to find a general imagery
which is immediately comprehens-
ible, Picasso has had constantly to
dig deeper into himself or his for-
mal repertoire.

In the course of his career as an
artist, Picasso has made import-
ant technical inventions. He found
new means of decorating ceramics,
developed the technique of ink and

pastel, and completely remade
that of lithography. At the pres-
‘ent time he is involved in linoleum
cutting.

Freshness and spontaneity are
what Picasso values most. His.
art is the jaillissement of inspira-
tion. (Mr. Cooper called Picasso
unique as a genius today, and add
ed that he is conscious of his own

spired this comment from one:

My heart leaps up when I behold
Chew’s matching shirt and tie.

He took an almost.iboyish delight

in wit. As a Curriculum Commit-
tee Meeting he represented the

English aepartment and, after the
speeches for (Greek and Latin had
been made, began his remarks:
“With no disrespect for the dead
languages, I’d like to have a ‘win-
dow open.”

Current affairs and polities fas-
cinated him. traveller, he went on pilgrimages
to the Near East and, in the 1980’s
was among the first American vis-
itors to Russia. Later on he be-
came excited about America and.
made many trips around the coun-
try, particularly to California
where he went after retirement.

Perhaps his life, with its blend
of the nineteenth century scholar
and the excited, versatile explorer
of the present, is best evoked in
the dedication prefixed to one of
his last books: “To my wife, who
shares my memories of lands and
libraries.”

veloped.
- In spite of all these problems,
the King had some advantages.
The rebel blockade was by no
means perfect; he had an alliance
with the Dunkirk pirates who
sank an average of one enemy ship
a week; he was not igmorant of the

_____use of economic warfare; and.he

had in Rupert an extremely ener-
getic, modern young man, who
was also a good morale-raiser.
(Miss (Wedgwood confessed to
being very biased about Rupert.)

The rebels, however, had the real
advantages, and eventually money
and morale, began to tell. With its
resources—.Parliament.was_able to
pay for the outfitting of Scottish
troops that came down on the King
from the North. -—;

Finally at Naseby in 1645, the
end came. (Charles, his hoped-for
strategy ruined by lack of: cooper-
ation in his own ranks, was defeat-
ed. His disadvantages throughout
the war, as Miss Wedgwood sum-
marized them, were the lack of the
navy, lack of monetary resources,
an inability to get organized and
hold his army together to act as a
unit, and the decreasing morale of
his forces.

Aaron disclosed the fact that most
of the wine produced in France is
fairly ordinary. The French wine
reputation rests on only 1% of its

to be considered an object of
wealth. Vineyards were set up at
monasteries and in the years 300
through 500 ‘A.D. the church oper-
ated a wine monopoly. After the
French Revolution, the vineyards
went to the farmers and peasants
who have maintained them ever
since.

1959 Vintage Year

Mr. Aaron concluded his lecture
by speaking of 1959 as the great-
est vintage year in approximately
a century. He described the condi-
tions which combined to produce
the excellence of this wine year.

Mr. Aaron is president of the
Sherry Wine and Spirits Company
of New York City. He has writ-
ten a number of articles for Life
Magazine and has collaborated
with James Beard in writing a
book entitled How to Eat Better
for Less Money.



Gains Over Gwynedd Mercy Cancelled Out
In Upset By Temple In Practice Basketball

The varsity basketball team be-
gins its regular-season games this
week with a decisive victory and
equally decisive loss behind it, in
practice games,

BMC had little or no trouble
with Gwynedd Mercy on January

14, setting them down 56-22 and|



35-17. The first varsity game got
off to a good start as a combina-
tion of GJM. fouls kept the ball at
the Bryn (Mawr end for the first
few minutes, in time to establish
a lead which was increased through-
out the game. In general the
game was distinguished by a great
number of personal fouls and by
the excellent work of the BMC
guards in the first half, whose zone
was most effective in keeping the
forwards way outside.

Many Score

Scoring was well distributed, as
substitutions were the rule of the
day—this being the first outside
competition of the year, experi-
ments rwith the players were nec-
essary. Barbie Reid hit for 7
points, Sally Davis for 9, Sue John-
son for 10, Anne Eberle for 22.

For the j.v.’s, Pud Kibler was
the big gun with 15 points and
Sue Stevenson did the other bulk
of scoring with 10 points. This
game was faster, scrappier, and



in the end ¢sloppier. The j.v.s
however, exhibited teamwork which
could in most cases do whatever
it wanted against the Gwynedd
Mercy defense, and they did not
melt under pressure of a closer
game, which has long been a BMC
failing. ane

Temple, as expected, outscored,
outran, and impressively, outre-
bounded Bryn Mawr on February
4, winning 55-39 and 40-27. The
varsity game started as an espec-
ially low-scoring one (8-6, their
favor, at the quarter), but Temple
did not pull away past a reason-
able chance of being overtaken
until the third quarter. Styles of
play of the two teams showed
Temple’s superiority, as Bryn
Mawr was forced to shoot often
from the outside (with a surpris-
ingly low field goal percentage, in
view of the fact. that most of our
forwards are outside shooters),
while Temple found many oppor-
tunities to run a beautifully coor-
dinated give-and-go inside our
guards.

Same Team Used

In this game more or less the
same team ‘was used throughout
in an attempt to work up the tim-
ing that results from a constant
combination. Barbie Reid hit her



Summer jobs often lead to. rewarding careers at Du Pont

THIS SUMMER...

ON-THE-JOB TECHNICAL TRAINING AT DU PONT



Pictured are a few of the many Du Pont

plants and laboratories across the country
ere selected technical students roll up

their sleeves during summer vacation and >

put their college training to practical use.

Most of the assignments are similar to
work the employees are likely to do after
graduation. Next summer, for example, a
chemical engineering student may go to
work on a catalyst recovery project. A
mechanical engineering trainee may be-
come engrossed in a challenging hydraulic
study. A promising young chemist may
tackle a problem in organic chemistry.

In short, each man is given a regular
plant or laboratory assignment commen-
surate with his education to date. And, as
with permanent employees, the student’s
training is personalized and tailored to fit
his background and interests...even to
the location he prefers, as far as practical.

This program has proved of benefit both
to students and to Du Pont. It gives stu-



dents an opportunity to increase technical
knowledge and to learn how to put college
training to use in industry. It gives
Du Pont a chance to observe men who will
soon be graduating in science and engi-
neering. Many of these summer associa-
tions are stepping stones to rewarding
careers with this company.

Juniors, seniors and graduate students
will be given technical assignments. Op-
portunities are in chemical, mechanical,
electrical and metallurgical engineering;
also in physics and mathematics. Candi-
dates should write at once to E. I. du Pont
de Nemours & Co. (Inc.), 2420 Nemours
Building, Wilmington 98, Delaware. Open-
ings are, of course, limited.

There are opportunities also for men
who have completed their freshman and
sophomore years, as laboratory assistants
or vacation relief operators. They should
apply direct to the Du Pont plant or
laboratory location of their choice.

last year’s stride in contributing
23 points, while the rest of the
scoring was fairly evenly spread.
Edie Munphy and Sue Johnson
each appeared in less than a quar-
ter of this game in order to be
eligible to play in the j.v. game,

| but ‘both contributed a great deal

in playmaking, Sue finding spaces
under the basket, Edie shooting
from near the center line.

These long shots of Edie’s
brought 6 points to the j.v. game
but especially forced the Temple
guards outside, which made room
for plays inside, on which Pud
Kibler and Ruth Krastins scored
7 points apiece. The j.v. game
was more back-and-forth than the
varsity; Bryn Mawr held some
early leads but Temple pulled
away in the second half.

mount to selling one’s country, In
the early 20th century, intellectual
activity was turned toward Eur-
ope, Miss Ocampo explained this
interest in the European culture as
a “perceptivity to the world, a
spirit of natural universalism”,
yet she said that this European
grounding is tied in with a com-
pletely Argentine element by auth-
ors of that country. She cited Ri-
cardo Guiraldes, educated in France,
who was at home in Paris-as-on
his father’s country estate, and
influenced by the gaucho as well
as by Mallarmé. His subject mat-
ter was the Argentina country life
and spirit and the flavor. that
emerged was novel, containing the
essence of Argentina, Frenchified.
Jorge Luis~Borges-read Stevenson,
Kipling, and Dickens and also was
labeled “foreigner”, yet his first
book ‘was Devotion to Buenos
Aires, While Guiraldes sang the
pampa, Borges praised the great
South American city.

“So we were attached to Europe
and bounded to Argentina; our
geography gave us solitude but a

Ocampo went on to say. Now they
are much closer to both the world
and, particularly because of Waldo
Frank, they have a fresh interest
in the United States. Miss Ocampo
feels that America is the sum of
all the countries in the two contin-
ents and as Americans we are
heirs to a universal culture. Per-
haps, concluded Miss Ocampo, a

‘| writer can be more than just the

poor relation of a military general
in spreading national culture.
“There should be a pact between
writers of the North, South, East
and West, defending the values
which the modern world despises
more and more.”
