In Leeture Series
Our planet is philosophically
split into three huge empires, Mr.
Jose M. Ferrater Mora told the
Philosophy club Tuesday night in
the second in his series of four lec-
tures on “What Happens in Phi-
losophy”. Each of these empires,
he said, has its hard core and its
zone of influence whose borders,
although somewhat shaky, are re-
markably stable.
The first of these.empires of
thought centers in France and
West Germany but extends all
through Western Europe; it em-
braces as its major creed Existen-
tialism. It is this school that Mr.
Ferrater Mora calls the Human-
istic,
The second realm, called the
Scientific, centers in the United
States and Great Britain, but ex-
erts its influence throughout all
English speaking lands, as well as
the Scandinavian nations. The
third of the philosophies, the Social
Philosophy, has as its nucleus the
Soviet Union and as its zones of
influence all Soviet-controlled na-
tions. ;
The intellectually weakest of the
three philosophies is that expound-
‘ed by the Russians. This Social
Philosophy, whose hard kernel is
Marxism, boasts a smooth facade
investigation. Soviet Marxism is
intrinsically too arbitrary to actu-
ally be a philosophy and yet, in its
fusion of theory and practice, it
has achieved a long standing goal
' Metaphysical speculation and
Existentialism pervade the Europ-
ean scene. What is man, his struc-
ture, his destiny, his. sculpture—
‘these are the questions which oc-
cupy the minds of Western Europ-
ean thinkers.
The philosophy of the Anglo-
American world forms the most
unified pattern of the three, In
view of the labels attached to the
European and Russian brands of
philosophy — the philosophy of
man and the philosophy of soci-
ety—it would be tempting, Dr.
Ferrater Mora said, to call the
philosophy of the English-speaking
peoples the philosophy of Nature.
Nevertheless, symmetry must be
sacrificed to accuracy and, accord-
ing to’ the scientific manner in
problems, theirs must be termed
the Scientific philosophy.
To the Russians, philosophy is
a political undertaking, purposing
to provide fuel for socialism and
to tear do Western Idealism;
European philosophy is a search
for personal truth. Both, however,
are similar in that they concern
the masses of intelligent people;
they are “everybody’s business”.
In America, on the other hand, phi-
losophy is a strictly academic sub-
ject and its discussion is limited to
university campuses and study
groups. The British philosopher
reaching the ordinary man—save
for “an occasional polite B.B.C.
listener”.
The rifts between these three
“empires” are great and seem-|
ingly permanent; nevertheless,
between the various groups. The
scientific and humanistic schools,
Arts Night Choreography [
Praised By B. Bendon
by Bonnie Bendon
Arts Night began with a nice
show of ‘consistency: harlequins
for backdrop and Harlequin, hini-
self, as performer. A lively pan-
tomine, “Marionettes”, got off to
an (appropriately) mechanical
start, with Carol Duddy as the
irrepressible scamp eluding Alice
Todd’s martial efforts to restore
order.
Harriet Wasserman lent a fine-
ly flopping contrast to the scene
as a relaxed Raggedy Ann, and
Isobel Kramen’s shy Japanese
Doll was indeed graceful, if some-
what unrelated to the “plot”. As
the Ballerina Doll,* Garril Goss
performed with charming coque-
try and displayed a technical skill
not. often found in such produc-
tions.
Her second appearance in “Lea-
ther-wing Bat” presented a change
of tempo, and provided Cynthia
Lovelace with a working partner
worthy of her polished choreogra-
phy. Cynthia’s enthusiasm was
well matched by the spirited back-
ground of Dee Wheelwright’s
folktunes.
The second half of the evening
gave Garril a larger opportunity
to display the virtuosity hinted at
in the opening tableaux. The two
divertissments, “Danse Triste” and
“Danse. Legere” might have béne-
fited by some cutting, or perhaps
by a more varied accompaniment.
The dancers who took part in
this year’s Arts Night are, on the
whole, to be congratulated on” their
wise choice of simple material,
carefully executed. This is, after
all, the work that shows up to
best advantage on Skinner Stage
and best illustrates the purpose
of such a program.

Lady Wishfort, Mirror
Star In Farcial Scene
From Congreve Play
by Lois Potter
“The skillful mélange of scenes
from Acts III and IV of the The
Way of the World, originally
planned for last year’s Arts Night,
but postponed at the last minute,
proved to be well worth waiting
for. The clever decor and costumes
harmonized with the fantastic
Harlequin. motifs..around them,
while suggesting a turn of the cen-
tury (which century, remained
somewhat vague) costume play.
The acting also partook of this
dual nature, sometimes catching
the tone of a period piece, some-
times skipping into the timeless
realm of the fantastical, some-
times purely farcial, but always
fun.
Trudy Hoffman, as Lady Wish-
fort, made the most of her ex-:
pressive features as she grimaced,
ogled, and languished behind her
mirror. Old she certainly was not,
much less hideous, and even when
she arrived at the height of the
ridiculous, rising from a chaise-
longue in a “pretty disorder,”
there was almost as much pretti-
ness as disorder, which is saying
a lot. The humor and liveliness
of her characterization proceeded
from an exaggerated style of act-
ing, but she resisted- the tendency
to step out of character, or “ham,”
for the sake of laughter. Trudy’s
gift of comedy is largely visual,
as is proved by the fact that, even.
when (as happened once or twice) '
she spoke a line so rapidly as to
make it altogether unintelligible,
her expression and gestures car-
ried the audience along and made
them laugh anyway. Besides her
performance in this role, Trudy
also deserves credit for directing
the production and for many of
its charming and imaginative de-
tails.

nie Wolffe’s Peg, on the other

‘|; ‘Enhanced By Music’
by Betsy Levering
In fairness, in enthusiasm, in a
desire to keep picayune exceptions
in their proper place, it must be
said that Arts Night was both
constructed of and enhanced by
music in the best of taste and well
performed. If the program as a
whole was lopsidedly musical, the
performances excused this slight
fault. :
Ellie Childs’ folksongs were,
simply, as pleasing as could be.
Her diction is excellent, her sing-
ing irreproachable; her good vocal
training speaks for itself. Ellie’s
understanding and delivery of the
songs would have been outstand-
ing even if her accompaniment had
been weak, which it was not. The
things she did with her guitar
were interesting in themselves—
say, the different patterns for each
two verses, of “Anava Babanot”.
She lacks only ease in handling
her guitar, but this is minor.
The two folksongs in which Dee
Wheelwright joined were happy;
her voice and manner contrasted
with Ellie’s to general advantage.
Dee’s guitar in the Greek song
“Jerakeena” was nice, and it was
good to have a banjo substitute for
the standard—in this sort of pro-
gram—guitar,

played with technical skill and
accuracy but without intelligible
emotion or expression. In con-
trast, Jane Hess brought a god
sense of phrasing to Mendelssohn’s
“Rondo Capricciose” Her pianis-
simo passages were exceptionally
well controlled, and the only poss-
ible weakness in this easy and
largely trouble-free performance
was some lack of depth in the forte
passages.
Bob‘ Martin’s cello selections
were distinguished even in this
company, as one expected from
past years. He had a control over
the music which allowed him to
impress on it his ideas and con-
ceptions of the pieces with con-
sistency and effectiveness. This

less advanced is rarely true, that

college students has received the
approval of Congress and Presi-
dent Eisenhower. Called the Na-
tional Defense Education Act of
1958, the program was passed
without inclusion of the scholar-
ship fund originally considered.
The program, the first of its
kind in United States history, is
for the benefit of students in any
college or university wishing to
participate in it and willing to
supply 10 per cent of the total
money from hig individual fund.
Institutes may apply for the loans
that they expect to need but will
be limited in their allotment by
state quotas.
Having already applied for the
loan, Miss McBride expects that
the money will be available to
‘Bryn Mawr students by February.
Although the opportunity to bor-
row will be open to all students,
it should prove especially attract-
ive to those planning to teach on
the elementary or secondary school
level, insomuch as for each year
of teaching ten per cent of the
loan is discounted.
Reviewer Praises
Concert By ‘Curtis’
‘ by Alison Baker
It seems almost a pity to have
to review last Monday night’s con-
cert after the event, for I’m afraid
many Bryn Mawrtyrs stuck to
their studies without realizing the
loss this devotion incurred. Two
students of the Curtis Institute
presented a magnificent program
of Beethoven, Debussy, and
Brahms.: The pianist was Ruth
Mecker, and the violinist Jaime
Laredo, a fifteen-year-old Bolivian.
The mere naming of their first
sonata: Beethoven’s Kreutzer,
brought gasps of delight from the
audience. As it turned out, they
were well justified, for even the
touchy introductory bars, although
a little stiff compared with what
followed, were played with great
precision and vigor. The rest of
the famous sonata was pure de-
light, as the players brought out
every bit of its verve and variety.
So sensitive was their playing
that it is only on second thought
that technical proficiency becomes
a matter for consideration. Mr.
Laredo particularly attacked the
many virtuoso .passages in the
Kreutzer sonata with a mastery
beyond a mere rendering of the
notes, and notable for expression
and careful phrasing.
The singing lyricism of the
Adagio, while very fine in tone,
didn’t seem to evoke quite as much
enthusiasm as the variety of moods
in the preceeding movement. The
violin had a wonderful tenuous
richness in piano passages, only
one evidence of Mr. Laredo’s ex-
pert bowing control and variety.
However, lingering attention to
melodic line was somewhat de-
prived._of-its.own by a slight throb-
bing accent at bow changes.

Cold fear rung in her marrow and all her bones are unstrung;

- Kern: Bryn Mawr In The 20’s
As.Dr. Wells. pointed out, the
Bryn Mawr girl should never be
compared with the department
store clerk in Des Moines, Iowa,
but with girls at comparable east-
ern women’s colleges. Using these
other colleges as a basis of com-
parison, the mythical “average”
Bryn Mawr girl was a quite typi-
cal representative of the 1920’s
in her attitudes toward morality,
current literature, marriage and
men, and the new fashions. But,
asyusual, her views on thsee sub-
jects were often in opposition to}
those held by a large number of
the American people. This differ-
ence is explained in the following
editorial:
“Due to the inheritance that be-
longs: to us as students at a col-
lege where ‘things of the mind’
are the primary interest, we are
apt to place mental superiority
above everything else.” (College
News, 1924). Such an attitude is
more graphically illustrated by the
College News’ comment on an ar-
ticle in the New York Times crit-
~--jeizing the advent of bare knees on.
the Vassar Follies: “Bare knees
stage in the Vassar Follies: “Bare
‘assar. The mistake
Mawr girl’s “new ideas” about
morality is that “true moralfty
must come from within, not be im-
posed from without.” (College
News, 1924). When discussing the
question of birth control she ask-
ed, “Is morality preserved by fear
and ignorance worth anything?”
(College News, 1924).. She show-
ed a great interest in the Nation’s
series entitled “New Morals for
Old”, which suggested that mar-
rigae was an arbitrary institution
established during woman’s phys-
ical inferiority to man. It was ex-
pedient then and this made it “mor-
al”, but with woman’s new econ-
omic freedom had come new needs
to be met. There was a possibil-
ity that we no longer needed mar-
riage, which would render its con-
tinuing survival “immoral”, A
very important editorial answers
the question “What Is Morality?”
in the following way:
“If our moral standards are
relative, which in the light of his-
tory and anthropology one must
admit to be true, then they are
open to criticism and change. They.
are not ult of divine revela-
tion, but of certain psychological,
—conditions. |
Change any of these factors and
the moral standards must change.”

Techniques From

Arts Night need not stand on its
own merits alone, for it has the:
advantage of Skinner’s white-
washed. walls. At intermission the
audience can hardly ignore a dis-
play with which they have been
on close terms for the past half
hour. s :
The best work in the show was
a small oil by Audrey Wollenberg.
Miss Wollenberg used clear, un-
muddied colors fresh from her
tubes. Her composition was sim-
ple, but organized with great
care on the picture plane. The
forms were arranged in accurate
perspective. The two best pass-
ages in the picture were the dap-
pled stone barn and sunny plot in
front of it. The barn and plot
were executed in broad, flat areas
of color, mixed with a great deal
of white. The effect wag one of
strong sunlight. The lighter, sun-
ny areas contrasted with the dark-
er areas form an_ interesting
rhythm across the picture plane.
Miss Wollenberg’s approach - is
simple, clear, and unaffected.
Another oil, a group of trees,
was exhibited by Kate Jordan. Her
composition was simple and clear,
which was its major appeal. How-
ever, Miss Jordan has not master-
ed the intricacies of perspective.
Her picture was flat. Little or no
variation in the color scheme ren-
dered the picture uninteresting.
Fay DuBose contributed three
water colors, entitled “Tenth En-
posters”. Miss DuBose’s water
colors were sophisticated, two-di-
mensional color patterns. They

Letter to the Editor
Miss de Laguna Clarifies
To the Editor:
Carolyn Kern’s spirited account
of “Bryn Mawr in the ’20’s” (Col-
lege News, November 5, 1958)
prompts me to offer my reminis-
Jeences of how the Self-Govern-
ment smoking rules were changed.
However, I did not, as has been
implied, champion retention of the
old restrictions when the Self-Gvo-
‘ternment Association met to dis-
cuss them the fall of my junior
year. Rather, I urged their dras-
tic revision. Despite stage fright
(it was my first public speech), I
attacked the rules as undesirable
and unenforceable, and - provoking
a “crime wave on campus” because
they were being violated on the
sly. Later, I served on the com-
mittee elected to remodel the whole
Self-Government structure.
The truly heroic roles in this
affair, however, belonged first to
President Marion Edwards Park
who presented the students’ rec-
ommendations to the Board of Di-
rectors, and secondly to the Di-
rectors who accepted them. For
no matter whether they may priv-
ately have deplored smoking by
young women as an exhibition of
bad taste, they publicly champion-
ed the moral right of the students
to decide such an issue for them-
selves. Of course, we had no ink-
ling of what this stand would
mean, although Miss Park and the
Directors must have known. For
the President’s announcement that
smoking was permitted on campus
made front page news from coast
to coast, and while the New York
Times praised her stand, many oth-
er sheets heaped vilification on
her and on the College. A west
coast college paper, I remember,
stigmatized our smoking as. “a

To the Editor of the College News:
Since I was one of the crowd

hear Professor Ferrater Mora lec-

with interest the report of the
lecture in the College News. This
report puzzles and even more dis-
turbs me since I have a special
concern for the state of philosophy
at Bryn Mawr and for its repute
abroad. I am puzzled because it~
is only the first. part of the lecture
—the witty and erudite sketch of
chaotic contemporary state—that
is reported at all. The latter, and
philosophically significant, part of
the lecture is simply ignored. A
reader, of the College News who
had not heard the lecture might
well suppose that Professor Fer-

ence to a wityy but devastating
exposé of contemporary philosophy

COLLEGE NEW:

Sarah Lawrence
Gears Curriculum
To Self-appraisal —
by Linda Davis
In a. recent article in Harper’s
magazine, David Boroff discussed
exemplary progressive education at
“Sarah Lawrence College. He dealt
with this relatively new system of
learning from both -the social and
academic angles.
In these progressive institutions
of higher education the main em-
phasis is on the individual and
her thoughts, while in what Mr.
Boroff calls “traditional colleges”
the center of interest is the cur-
riculum and passing grades.
The, main objective of progres-
sive- teaching is to utilize the past
literature and history of the world
to comprehend better present con-
flicts and problems. All knowledge
should be used in some way, ac-
cording to this method, and not
merely “collected.”
Private Conference in Each Course
At Sarah Lawrence a_=student/
has a private conference with the
professor—the tutor or “don”’—of
each course she takes. All courses
meet once a week for two hours
and are supplemented by outside
reading and individual projects.
This reading is not required and
students may read anything they
have a particular leaning toward
at some time during the year.
Since there are no grades or
that the emphasis is taken off
is simply not the case. The stu-
dents compare the amount of read-
ing and actually feel “unhappy”
as one student was quoted as say-
ing, if her roommate is reading
fatter books than she is.
There is much pressure for a
girl to discover herself and this
is manifest in the sometimes
threestimes weekly psychoana-
lysis that students may have. In
the junior year students are ex-
pected to “define” themselves
which appears to be the main ob-
jective—self-appraisal. A girl gets
engrossed rather deeply in
thoughts about herself and her
personality: -
Heavy Intellectualism
Affects Politics
The heavy intellectualism of the
students at Sarah Lawrence pre-
vents, to a certain extent, the nor-
mal social pattern of dating. Girls
find that they are often more
adept mentally than the boys they
date and concentration on the
“self” makes it difficult to share
feelings and emotions. This may
be the reason that only 20% of
last years senior class was either
engaged or married at graduation.
The college does not encourage
early marriages; it feels that
girls are often merely trying to
escape from difficult decisions and
that wedlock removes a certain
number of the excellent students
from, the school.
' Evade Intellectual Conflicts
In classes, students do not at-
tempt to win any particular point,
but more often merely settle for
a compromise to evade intellectual
conflicts with the faculty. They
feel that most of the problems dis-
cussed are too complex to have a
single answer. The classes are al-
most abnormally small, a con-
dition which, though effective in
allowing closer student-fdculty re-
lationships, lacks the stimulation
of larger classes and a wider rep-
resentation of ideas.”
The largest percent of the grad-
uating class enters the~field of
education. Sarah Lawrence offers
no_s y.-“education” - courses,
but interested students are ex-
pected to study; for example in
- philosophy, the principles of edu-
cation and in psychology, educa-
Dr. Zhivago and Affaire Pasternak chee ofl
Provoke Various Faculty Responses
Three Discuss Political,
Literary Sides of Case
by E. Anne Eberle
On the subject of. Boris Paster-
nak and his recent controversial
novel Doctor Zhivago, The Satur-
day Review had this to say: “There
has been some surprise that out of
the charnel house of art erected
by Stalin should arise a gift so
free and vaulting, a mind that
shrugs off, shackles, a poet of hu-
manity, a critic not only of the
land which he distinguishes by his
presence but of the age and civili-
zation of which he is a part.” Sev-
eral members of the Bryn Mawr
faculty helped to clarify, and in
some respects refute, this general-
ly held opinion of the Russian cel-
ebrity’s work.
Miss de Graaff of the Russian
department, who is among the
lucky few who have been able to
capture the book long enough to
read it, was not so impressed with
it as the majority of the critics
seem to be, although she has thus
far only read it in English and re-
serves her final opinion of the book
until she has read it in the origin-
al Russian. She says it is definite-
ly “interesting, but not the great-
est xara of our age,” and suggests
that a poor translation may be
the cause of the stilted effect in
the conversations, for instance.
Miss de Graaff also found difficulty
with the confusion of a fragmen-
tary beginning and several other
matters of form. “I didn’t like it
at first and then I did again,” she
says.
Against Soviet “teey Trend
But Miss de Graaff was not en-
tirely critical; she found Paster-
nak’s descriptions of nature and of
love and moods very beautiful.
She thinks that a great part of
what has made it such a success
is that it takes place in such an
interesting time—the Russian Rev-
olution—and that it differs from
the current run-of-the-mill novels
in any country.
“But it is interesting,” she said
said, “is to see this thing from the
Soviet point of. view. This book
goes against everything they want.
in their literature. The one thing
they demand is that it should be
—let’s say, ‘uplifting’—it should
be positive, help or instruct the
people in some way. Do you see?”
She pauses to gather examples in
her mind.
100% Negative
“It is completely negative. The
hero~is in all regards weak, and
they want a strong hero; he is
anti-social, and they would stress
social-consciousness; he is anti-
_| humanistic, and they want him to
be humanistic,
“And what he says about the
Revolution is 100% negative. Pas-
ternak shows no idealism or faith
in. the Revolution at all. His
Doctor Zhivago is so completely
non-political — Pasternak himself,
I think, is 100% non-political and
rather naive—and he does not con-
demn this non-political character.
Russians Wouldn’t Understand
“You ask if I think the book will
be published in Russia? I think
not—and I really think the people
would not understand it much, It
is what I said—it is so completely
different from the kind of literature
they are used to—and they are not
used to psychological finesses in
their novels, the Russians. And as I
said, they would not be able to look
up to’such a hero who is the oppo-

Union, but...
“Are there others.like Paster-
nak writing in Russia? Of course
that is difficult to be specific about,
but I would be strongly inclined to
say that there are very few people
doing the same thing. There are
so few left from the pre-Revolu-
tion days who have never compro-
mised as he has not. He is a great
artist; he has written greatpoetry
—and very difficult—and some
very beautiful autobiographical
sketches. This is his first novel I
think,” she added; as though she
thought she had wandered = far
from the subject.
Writers’ Union Has No Control
And what about this Writers’
Union from which Pasternak has
recently been evicted? “Well,” ex-
plained Miss de Graaff, “it is a
sort of trade union for writers—
it protects them, they have public
readings of new works, but they
have, I believe, no control over the
publishing; that works about the}.
same as in this country, through
publishing houses.
“Communist influence? Well, yes
of course all organizations in ,Rus-
sia have Communists scattered all
through them. All the members
do not like the policy they follow
always—they personally may re-
gret that the Soviet Union wants
to expel. Pasternak from the
Sensitive, Intelligent,
Non-Political
“I met him once,” she added
with a smile. ‘He seemed like a
very peaceful, extremely sensitive,
intelligent man—but 100% non-
political. He is old now—what,
67 or something? He says he
wants a year of quiet—he has this
great love for the Russian. country-
side—he lives in this little place
in the country outside Moscow.
No, I think after this fuss he won’t
be happy, but he has always lived
outside the life around him any-
way.”
Herlihy Describes As
Unique Problem
Mr. Herlihy of the history de-
partment hastened to say that he
hadn’t had a chance to read the
book yet, and all he really knew
about it was what he had gathered
from the great amount of public-
ity it has had lately. Comment-
ing on the fact that the Soviet
Union has interpreted the award-
ing of the Nobel Prize for Litera-
ture to Pasternak as a political
maneuvre, he said it was ‘a unique
problem, as this is the first time
the prize for literature has been
given to a Russian.
He said that the Russians’ great
objection is that they say Paster-
nak’s attitude and opinions are not
typical, “not what a true Russian
would say.” Besides this, the gov-
ernment is opposed to Russians
having international ties of any
kind, which “would lead them be-
yond their own borders.”
Denouncement Without Reading
Mr. Herlihy added that the
Young Communists’ demand made
recently asking to have Paster-
nak rejected from citizenship was
party-directed, although the ~ act
had the appearance of Freedom.
Thus, since the book has not been
released for publication in Russia
(and. Mr. Herlihy, like Miss. de
Graaff, does not think it will be),
the denouncement which was sup-
posed to represent spontaneous dis-|--
approval of the people was an-
nounced without the people even
having read the book!
Mr. Herlihy felt that there are
undoubtedly many other writers
like Pasternak, suggested by the
taught heroes are made of. I do not
think they would pay much atten-
tion to it at all.
temporary Toosantha of poltey” fm-|ine-us—just.what.the. results of!
mediately, following the de-Stalin-
up has undoubtedly covered them
again.)
Mr. Kennedy. of the political
science department couldn’t re-
membér a similar situation prev-
ious to the present one produced
by awarding the Nobel Prize to
Pasternak. He offered in contrast
Russian scientists have been ac-
cepted, which made Soviet science
recognized all over the world, but
that literature involves values—
“all ideology must conform to the
Party—they don’t recognize any
such thing as literary acomplish-
ment in itself.” He said that the
Party controls all fields of art—
even music,
Soviets Won’t Evict Pasternak
Mr. Kennedy, like Mr. Herlihy,
had not had an opportunity to
read the book, but commenting on
the political aspect, he remarked
that the Young Communists are a
traditional means of control of
totalitarianism, that similar organ-
izations have been a part of Nazi
Germany, Fascist Italy, and China,
even under the Nationalists. These
semi-official organizations control
public opinion and consumption.
The refusal of the Nobel prize it-
self was similar to a case in Nazi
Germany when the Nobel Prize
for Literature was also refused
under government pressure.
Mr. Kennedy feels that .in spite
of current rumblings the Soviets
would not want Pasternak out of
the country any more than he
wants to leave. “Once he was out
of the country he might be embit-
tered. might expose the system
. better to keep him home. Like
a game of hearts—better to keep
the queen of hearts in your own
hand, if you want a corny illus-
tration.” #
Mere Ripple
According to Mr. Kennedy there
is a question of whether the Pas-
ternak business really bothers the
Russians much at all, despite the
fuss. “I can believe this is all a
mere ripple,” he said, “for any
country that can handle the Hun-
garian and Rumanian uprisings so
efficiently—this is no real concern.”
But he did speculate that if the
Russians were completely assured
“they would have been smart to
ignore it and say, ‘All right, he
writes that way,’ and make. it
clear that it was Pasternak who
didn’t conform and that no one else
thinks that way.”
Mr. Kennedy was confident that
the Communists’ objections to Pas-
ternak were fabricated and that
the awarders of the prize are
faithful in choosing the winners
strictly according to merit, al-
though from another point of view,]|
Pasternak’s writing may not be all
that good; but the dominant feel-
ing is that it is good.
“I’m confident that there are
others whose writing and: point of
view we were not allowed to see,”
he added. “The temporary period
of liberal policy in China a while
back. brought out comparable
points of view. But unfortunately
this sort of thing renews our feel-
ing that it’s the diabolic nature of
their. system that-they can make
a man recant, not through phys-
ical threats but intellectualy con-
vincing him. I personally feel that
they can change. people’s. funda-
mental points of view, which is the
frightening aspect of the system.”
-Frightening or not, it-seems that
Boris Pasternak has managed to
be the exception to the rule and
has maintained his idealism in
spite of political haggling. The
current “fuss” over him is show-
such non-conformity means in the
the fact that similar awards to}.
A. A. Announces
In Point System
Last spring the A.A. Executive
Board, .after lmuch “debate, made
certain changes in its constitution,
mostly affecting the allotting of
points which lead to awards given
at Awards Night each spring for
participation in athletics during
the year.
The main changes were effected
because members felt that there
were not enough upperclassmen
participating in. varsity sports and
that freshmen and spohomores
took advantage of. the fact that
they could pass their sports re-
quirements by being on a varsity .
sport, which was fine, except that
the upperclassmen did not have.
a similar inspiration, The chang-
ed system, therefore, allots the
present number of points to up-
perclassmen on varsity teams, but
freshmen and sophomores receive
100 points less.
The Executive Board also felt
that 200 points, the number for-
merly awarded for a sports week-
end and 100 points for a sports
day were too. large, considering
they were roughly equivalent to
half of what a varsity or J.V.
player might get for a whole sea-
son’s regular practice and game
attendance, Each of these awards
was therefore halved.
The Board also voted to give
class representatives 200 points
for the juniors and sophomores
and 100 points to the rotating
freshman members, since hall rep-
resentatives earn points for sim-
ilar or less demanding jobs.
The total number of points re-
quired to earn the various awards
was not changed, however, since
it was felt that a great number
of people were receiving the
awards and that they were losing
their value.
The present points. system is
as follows:

Kern: Bryn Mawr in the 20's.
Continued From Page 2, Col. 2
She considered herself to be
frankly facing situations winked
at for some time and fearlessly
searching for what was best for
man and for society at large at
that particular time. Everyone
that I talked to felt that, in spite
of much “talk”, a loosening of
morals on the part of the Bryn
Mawr girl did not occur to any
great extent during the Twenties.
None of them considered them-
selves to have “drunk”, and most
didn’t even taste liquor until their
senior year or after their gradu-
ation. Undoubtedly there were
Bryn ‘Mawr girls who had been
born with “flapper” tendencies and
who acted like flappers whenever
they got the chance, but most of
the girls were what Mrs. Manning
calls “the more serious type.”
Transition From Iced Tea
. Difficult
I would imagine that the trans-
ition between consuming “dainty
sandwiches and iced drinks” at
Peter Pan Tea House to downing
contraband liquor in a local speak-
easy was a difficult one. Further-
more, the News saw fit to warn
the college public that “Intellectu-
ality is a state of mind to be as
carefully guarded against as friv-
olity . . . Beer and skittles are not
incompatible with higher life.” But
the fact that tremendous differ-
ences in personality must always
be taken into account was accen-
tuated for me by two answers to
the question, “What did you think
of This Side of Paradise?” One
person immediately exclaimed “You
can’t imagine how we responded to
that book. That’s just the way
we were!’’; while the other one
insisted, “Nonsense! Nothing like
that went on, It’s all so over-
done.” Mrs. Manning believes
that in all cases, the girls consid-
ered an active social life as some-
thing still in the future, something
that would develop after they grad-
uated, and that they were forced
to wait until then to put into ef-
fect any really wild schemés they
might possibly have had. As al-
ways, the “outside” culture form-
ed the arena where all ideas would
be put into action.
Flaming Youth and Dorian Gray
As far as I could tell, the Bryn
Mawr girl read all the curent lit-
erature with great interest. How-
ever, unlike many of her contem-
poraries, the preserved an amaz-
ing balance of interests. A News
reporter roaming through the halls
found Lost Girl side by side with
_ Emma, Flaming Youth sharing tle
same bookshelf with Dorian Gray;
and she commented on the master-
ful juxtaposition of Plato, Jurgen,
and Correlli. (College News, 1924).
An analysis of the periodicals read
by fifty-one Bryn Marwters listed
the top favorites in the following
order: Atlantic Monthly, Life, Sat-
urday Evening Post, Vogue, Van-
ity Fair, Harper’s, National Geo-
graphic, Scribners, Literary Di-
gest, Punch, and Time. (College
News, 1926). Only two girls ad-
mitted reading movie magazine:
none to reading confession maga
zines. Furthermore, the College
News observed that “The Amer-
ican Public seems to be surpris-
ingly cool _in its. attitude towards
periodicals of an intellectual rad-
ical nature,” and goes on to ad-
vocate a “keen, visioned, unparti-
san,,press that would challenge
and not coddle our minds.”

Ferrater Mora
Lecture
The definitions of the word
philosophy are almost as diverse
and contradictory as the schools
of thought. In short, “What is con-
temporary philosophy?” is a futile
question; and one faces more than
ever not philosophy but philoso-
phers, each of whom believes that
his philosophy is his own affair
and that “what you are doing is
not philosophy.”
Philosophers Deplore
The reaction of philosophers to
the present situation, as Mr. Fer-
rater Mora described it, is first to
deplore it and then to adhere to
one of four positions: the dog-
matic, which concludes that only
one doctrine is acceptable; the
eclectic, which accepts all as con-
taining something of truth or sig-
nificance; the skeptical, which re-
jects all and declares that no ac-
ceptable system can be found; the
dialectical, which accepts all in
some ways and advocates a synthe-
sis. ;
Drastic Remedies Needed
Mr. Ferrater Mora himself, how-
ever, does not deplore the situation
at all. On the contrary, he is “de-
lighted,” for he feels that at last
a stage has been reached for which
only drastic remedies will effect a
cure. Philosophy must be re-
defined so that definite pronounce-
ments are possible about what is
acceptable and what is inaccept-
able. The fault of most present
schools ig in believing that perma-
nent philosophical objects . exist.
There are none, said Mr. Ferrater
Mora, there are no objects with
which other fields of study do not
deal. Philosophy, however, perme-
ates all objects; its unique posses-
sion is its point of view, one of
unification —not synthesis, but
analysis, typical of all human en-
deavour, Thus, the real and proper
province of philosophy is the criti-
cal, questioning examination of
everything, of all knowledge, of
the language in which anything is
accepted, from the general view-
point of unification—for example,
Whitehead’s attempts against the
bifurcation of nature. Reconcilia-
tion of the existing schools is not
necessary, since, in Mr. Ferrater
Mora’s opinion, the “standing edi-
fices” are already “in ruins.” -
Freedom From Fantasy
Philosophy, he __ believes, - can
make statements about man which
science neither can nor will, but
it cannot make them in terms con-
trary to the statements of these
sciences, by which it has been
taken over. Therefore, philosophy
must watch its methods, must be
rigorous and free from “idle talk
and sheer fantasy,” for “If you
ean become a real philosopher in
a few ways, you can become a
pseudo-philosopher in an_ infinite
number of ways.”

the same emphasis on discovering
oneself and intellectual stimula-
tion.
Sarah Lawrence can produce a
well-educated woman, conscious of
the many facets of life and com-
pletely sure of her own abilities,
but there is a great chance that a
student will only scratch the sur-
face of each course and emerge
of knowledge com-
prised of obscure“-facts. and ideas.
There can be no precise judgment
on the merits of progressive edu-
on,-but, as with
“Men are nothing but crippled
chromosomes,” according to Mr.
Ashley Montagu, who spoke recent-
ly at Wesleyan Univerity. Accord-
ing to The Wesleyan Argus, Mr.
Montagu was “greeted with a cho-
rus of loud hisses” from his pre-
dominately male audience as “he
gave forth with unmitigated her-
esy upon his favorite subject ‘The
Natural Superiority of Women’.”
“Asserting that women are con-
stitutionally superior ‘to men,
Montagu contrasted the health of
the ‘g’, or female gene, with the
male*gené. Furthermore, accord-
ing to Mr. Montagu, “Women are
better able to make use of their
emotions.” Men, in contrast to
this, internalize their feelings,
thus causing ulcers, asthma and
insanity.” (The Argus went on to
insinuate that perhaps men’s in-
sanity was caused because women

An article of interest to the
Bryn Mawr campus appeared re-
cently in The Swarthmore Phoenix.
Written by Susan Howard, for-
merly of the class of 1961 here,
it contained several of her. views
on Bryn Mawr and the reasons she
transferred to Swarthmore from
Bryn Mawr.
“The most obvious difference es
tween the colleges is that Bryn
Mawr is not co-ed. Although this
fact in itself is obvious, it partly
accounts for many of the more
subtle differences between these
colleges, The lack of community
feeling and activity (and I don’t
mean “School Spirit”) is due at
least in part to this fact. Only
those of us who didn’t care for
Princeton ‘men’ were around on
the week-ends; consequently there
was nothing going on from Friday
noon to Monday morning.
“During the week we occasional-
ly did have an interesting speaker,
a good movie, or a_ discussion
group. However, most of the peo-
ple didn’t seem to be interested in
having any campus activities, as
was indicated by the limited at-
tendance at these functions and
by the lack of active organizations
on campus. The clubs were very.
ineffectual; only those who were
in them knew what they were do-
ing.
“There is, of course, an advan-
tage to this situation. It creates
the opportunity for one to be an
organizer. The clubs were so dis-
organized and purposeless that if
one joined, she was immediately
granted the opportunity of at-
tempting to organize the club and
give it a purpose. —
“Another characteristic is that
people at Bryn Mawr never read
newspapers. Consequently the stu-
dents didn’t know what was hap-
pening. what people believed, or
what values were important to
them, All you ever heard about
was how poor a professor was, how
depresed somebody was, or how
wonderful (or awful) last week-
end’s date was. Of course, many
Swarthmore students may not
know what is happening in the
world or what their values are,
but at least they pretend to know
what they are talking about... This
Jeads_to much discussion.”

Early this year I was taken,

of the books which I am now at-

This room ig the culmination of
the long hope of the Association
for, a quiet place on campus for
reading and meditation, a pleas-

extremely grateful to those who
made it possible to realize this,

Young Mormon Elders Scrutinize
Ideal, Practice What You Preach
by Susan Downey
Every young man in the Church
of Jesus Christ of the Latter D
‘Saints, commonly called the
mon Church, goes. out for two
years as.a missionary for his}
faith. He does this voluntarily and}
pays all his own expenses. Two of
these elders, Elder Thom and
Elder Hibbert of Norristown, spoke
unders the auspices of the Inter-
faith Association on Tuesday, No-
vember 11, at 5:00 p.m. In spite of
their being named elders, they
were not. the least bit elderly—
both were in their 20’s.
Thq most distinguishing belief
of the Mormon Church, according
to Elder Hibbert, is its belief in
direct revelation by God to man
in modern times. This revelation
came to Joseph Smith in Upper
New York State in 1820, when God
told him to join none of the existing
impure churches, but to found his
own church based on New Testa-
ment Christianity. The sect was
continually persecuted and _ so
forged to move West—first to Mis-
souri, and ther to Illinois. When
Joseph Smith was martyred, Brig-
ham Young led the long trek west
which ended when he saw the spot
where Salt Lake City stands today
and proclaimed “This is the place.”
From this unpromising beginning,
the Mormons have become a pros-
perous and ever-growing denomi-
nation.
The bases for the Mormon be-
liefs are the Bible and the Book
of ‘Mormon. God appeared to Jo-
seph Smith and told him that he
would find and be able to translate
some golden tablets, which were
the Book of Mormon. These tablets
contained a record of the ancient
peoples of America—a people who
‘came from the Old World and who
built cement roads and temples
like Babylonian ziggurats. These
tablets were revealed before arch-
aeology had discovered such things
in South America. The Book of
Mormon and the Bible have equal
weight in the church; they are the
revelations of God to different
peoples.
The Mormons claim to be the
only true church of Christ, which
must exist on earth in this puri-
fied form before the kingdom of
[God can come on earth. . All pre-
a reformers—Luther, Calvin,
Wesley-—were imperfect and. in-
complete, for the time was not yet
ripe for a true prophet to appear.
‘Like other Christians, the Mor-
mons believe that salvation comes
through Christ. They think that a
believer can be baptized by proxy
for a dead: person, and that this
dead person can be saved if he
will accept this baptism. Marriage
for eternity is also ‘a sacrament.
These rites can be performed only
in the temples, of which there are
only thirteen in the world. The
temples are open every day but
Sunday for such rites.
One of the most widespread mis-
conceptions about the Mormons
concerns their practice of poly-
gamy. The permission of polygamy
was revealed by God only as a
temporary measure to “raise up
righteous seed unto the land” and
was outlawed in 1890. Actually,
only three percent of the Mormons
ever practiced it, for to do so a
man must get permission from the
head of the church and ‘have his
other wife’s permission.
The church has no paid ministers
—all work is done voluntarily.
They have Sunday School on Sun-
day morning and church services
at night. Communion is taken
every Sunday. These services take
place in churches, of which there
are many throughout the world.
No Mormon ever goes hungry.
The church has welfare farms, the
produce from which is given to
needy families. Mormons who are
out of jobs can work on these
farms to support themselves. They
take no help'from other charitable
organizations, though they do give
generously to charity themselves.
Discussion, during which may of
the preceding points were brought
up, followed the lecture.
Copies of the Book of Mormon
and the’ Articles of Faith of the
Mormon Church, as well as an
illustrated Saga of Mormonism are
in the Interfaith Reading Room in
Goodhart.

The picture remonds one of Bem-
mellman’s illustrations for chil-
dren’s books. Her second water
color was ‘a still life. Miss Raus
used clear, vibrant red in the flow-
ers, Unfortunately, however, her
muddied and unnecessary back-
ground deserves only to detract
from the vibrancy of the crimson.
Miss Raus has a fine sense of pat-
tern. The circular flower pot is
echoed by the leaves, the blossoms,
and the grain of the wood in the
table.
Susan Jones also contributed a
water color, which exhibited, if
nothing else, a balanced composi-
tion and competent handling of
the medium.
Judy Stulberg introduced graph-
ics into the exhibtion—a wood cut
and a print. Miss Stulberg ex-
hibits good technical mastery;
however, there is little variation
in subject matter... Both works
utilize the same pose, that of a
seated girl. In both works, Miss
Stulberg emphasizes the vertical
direction, Miss Stulberg’s forte
lies in her ability to arrange black
and white areas in an interesting
pattern on the picture plane.
Gaby Yablonsky contributed two
academic. studies ,one of a nude,
the other of a sculptured head.

Hockey
The Bryn Mawr heckey teams
played their last games of the year
yesterday afternoon against Rose-
mont on the home field. The j.v.’s
were edged out 1-0, while the var-
sity went down 2-0. In both games
Bryn Mawr made several or many
real threats to the Rosemont goal,
but each time the team somehow
lacked that extra bit of drive that
‘would have made the point.
This final game brought the var-
sity’s total win-loss score to three
ties and two defeats, which ac-
cording to Miss Schmidt, hockey
coach, is better than it has been
for years. Each of the ties was by
a 1-1 score; “One point was just
the most we could get for one day,”
commented Miss Schmidt matter-
of-factly. On the whole, though,
she was not displeased with this
season, and was especially pleased
with some individual players who
had contributed a great deal dur-
ing the practices and games this
fall. She indicated that consider-
ing the fact that huge-scale sports
of any kind, perhaps especially
hockey, were not feasible at Bryn
Mawr, the hockey teams had done
very well for themselves against
formidable opposition.

united by their. common hostility
toward traditional rationalism.
The humanist and Marxist: are
linked by their distrust of existen-
tialism, nd the Scientist and Marx-
ist are united by common contempt
for humanism. Thus the three
philosophies are closer than might
be expected, albeit their only ties
are common hostilities.
What makes the fusion between
the three so difficult, Dr. Ferrater
Mora explained, is the facility with
which one philosopher can make
another look foolish.. Just’a little
contriving and Plato could be made
to appear a sophist, he said.
Nevertheless, he feels the union
of the three cleaved empires is
possible and looks with hope to the

moods, and the piano brought out
the depth of wonderful watery ar-
peggios in open intervals. The sec-'

its head repeatedly into the texture

second movement involves sublime

which Mr. Laredo put great feel-

the discussion, I am sure the stu-

the discovery that the lecture was
