With Fine Unity, Claremont Quartet
Reveals Mastery of Modern Works

by Ginger McShane, ’63

Of the-many laudable achieve-
ments of. the Claremont Quartet,
perhaps the most outstanding is
unity. Their concert Wednesday
sounded in general as if one mind
controlled all four players. The

rhythms securely together. Even

more of an accomplishment, the
sounds were balanced—no one in-
strument stood out throughout in
brilliance or volume of tone, each
being equally capable ofg@bubduing
itself to a subordinate part or ¢éom-
ing out strongly with an import-
ant one.

Unfortunately, unity has _ its
dangers, made manifest in the first
movement of the Haydn Quartet
(opus 74, no, 1) with which the
program opened. All together, and
of one accord, the performers were
uninspired. Technically, however,
the movement was excellent, and
if it never quite got off the ground,
even on the ground it was Haydn
at his richest, and quite enjoyable.

In the next three movements
the spirit improved considerably.
The Andantino was lovely in its
sweetness and elegance. The Men-
uetto might have been a little too
languid but for the cello’s vigor-
ous oom-pah’s, but its trio was
lilting and warm. The finale was
really lively, with runs, syncopa-
tion, staccato bowing and speed.

Violent Contrasts.

In spite of the pause between
numbers, the abrupt change to the
Stravinsky Concertino for String

ning effect. A rapid crescendo from
practically nothing to a series of
vigorous fortissimo chords served
to shatter entirely the smooth
classical atmosphere created by the
Haydn Quartet. But after the ini-
tial shock, which sounded very like
chaos after the Haydn, the piece
settled into a form—one of violent
contrasts—through which it gath-
ered force and eventually became
thoroughly absorbing..

Perhaps it was the lack..of..any
such form discernible on first
hearing which made. Webern’s
String Quartet, Opus 28 so hard
to listen to. The piece was well per-
formed, with energy and with ob-
vious love, ‘but between tthe aband-
onment of all traces of the har-
mony to which our ears have be-
come accustomed and the failure
to a large extent to use the pos-
sibilities of richness. and beauty
of tone of the four stringed in-
struments playing simultaneously,
Mr. Webern seems to have lost
also the possibility of giving to

most hearers much immediate
pleasure in listening.
High Point ms

The high point of the -.evefiing
was Debussy’s Quartet in G minor,
Opus 10. Its harmonies were
neither.too old-fashioned for the
modernistically inclined quartet to
enjoy playing nor too far out of
line with the old school of com-
position for the audience. to en-
joy hearing. It was not only the
last two movements which were
played expressively and with pas-
sion, as_ theif titles. directed—the

rich opening melody to the nearly
frenzied closing of the last move-
ment, was performed with remark-

correspondingly moving to hear.

The enthusiasm over this result-
ed in two encores. The first was
the finale of Dvorak’s Quartet in
F major, a frivolous movement if
ever there was one. With a de-
lightful vitality the movement
bounced by, resembling in its dot-
ted rhythms and wide melodic
range music for square dancing,
so that it had a general effect con-
ductive to mental, if not physical,
foot-tapping.

Sensational Piece

The second encore was a piece
dedicated to the Claremont Quar-
tet by ‘Mel Powell, one of Ameri-
eca’s outstanding contemporary
classical composers. Mr. Gottlieb
introduced the piece by saying
that anyone who could stand the
“delicate bombardment” of the
Webern quartet could listen easily
to this—a brief “filigree setting
for quartet” which had created
father a sensation in the work-
shop. lecture the Quartet.present-
ed earlier in the day.

The sensation was eaSily under-
standable. The piece used every
sound available to the stringed ‘iin-
strument, from several Kinds of
percussive effects involving hit-
ting the back or sides of the in-
strument with hands or finger-
nails, to a somewhat staccato ef-
fect achieved by bouncing the bow
in a direction perpendicular to its
normal line of motion, even occa-
sionally to actual notes.. It was
spectacular and fascinating—but it

Talk By Toynbee

Considers Status
Of Citizen Today

Last Tuesday evening, Arnold J.
Toynbee, famous British historian
and presently visiting lecturer in
history at the University of Penn-
sylvania, spoke in Goodhart Audi-
torium on “Effective Citizenship
Today.” Mr. Toynbee contrasted the
criteria for citizenship of the
American Constitution and_ the
British Reform Bill of 1832 with
present conditions.

In the early days of the nation
only those with income could be
citizens with “a stake in the
country.” They also had experience
of affairs and a sense of respon-
sibility. There were also. the
notions that public affairs. were
rather simple and could be known
by the people and that, therefore,
the country could be run by the
representatives of these citizens.

Mr. Toynbee believes that none
of these criteria hold true today.
We have universal adult suffrage.
Few adults are economically in-
dependent. The self-employed are,
in fact, considered to be somewhat
second-class’ citizens. Public busi-
ness is complicated far beyond the
possible “comprehension of the
ordinary person.

The result of this situation is
that the ordinary citizen looks for
a savior or deus ex machina in-
stead of taking the responsibility
on himself. He knows that there
are tremendous unsolved problems
but feels incompetent to handle
them, and, therefore leaves the
problems for others to solve.

Mr. Toynbee also discussed the

It overthrew the 450-year-old Renaissance tradition in which the eye

The winners of the 24 annual
Marshall Scholarships granted by
the British Government to Amer-
ican students have been announc-
ed and among them is Bryn Mawr’s
Lois Potter, a senior English ma-

English for a B.A. or M.Litt. The
scholarships pay tuition, living ex-
penses, with allowances for books
and travel and are good for two
years, and may in some cases be
extended for a third year.

The Marshall Scholarships began
in 1952 as a concrete acknowledge-

RUSSELL LYNES

Russell (Lynes, currently man-
aging editor of Harpers Magazine,
was the first of three speakers to
discuss “The Role of the Intellec-
tual in (Contemporary American
Society” at the Bryn Mawr (Col-
lege ‘Conference, April 8. tt

iMr. Lynes replaced the word
“role? which was used in the title
of the conference with “image.”
His speech was divided into three
sections: the image of the intellec-
tual that is held by the public, the
image which the intellectual elite

thas of itself, and Mr, Lynes’ own

image of the intellectual.

Mr. (Lynes stated that since Pres-
ident Kennedy has assumed his
office, the position of the intellec-
tual has been greatly improved
and the nation has been enriched,
though, he added, at the expense
of Harvard. “The intellectual oc-
cupies a role right in the spotlight
of national and_ international af-
fairs.”

In speaking of the public’s image
of the intellectual Mr. Lynes men-
tioned the anti-intellectualism that
was generated during the McCar-
thy era. It was not until the Rus-
sians launched Sputnik I that
Americans began, once more, to
encourage and respect their intel-
lectuals. And even then, felt Mr.
Lynes, the humanities were ignor-
ed; the focus was almost ——

Renaissance art recreated

ity of its own bringing about a to-
tal transformation in the: world’s
conception of art.

Mr. Cooper proposed three per-
iods in his eight year “epoque’—
1. Early - 1906 to the summer of
1910; Cubist ‘work of this period
being chiefly that of Braque and
Picasso; 2. High- summer 1910 to
the autumn of 1912; the period of
Cubist expansion in which inter-
national’ interest was evident and
an apparent “dissipation” of the
movement due to transformation
of its concepts through misunder-
standing and experimentation. 3.
Late -autumn..1912 to 1914; most
of the other painters (except
Braque, ‘Gris and Picasso) who had
formerly been under the Cubist

influence now moved off into ab-
stract, Dada and their own tradi-
tions.

Back to Courbet

In 1911, Gleizes and Metzinger
said, “To estimate the significance
of Cubism, one must go back to
Courbet though he was the slave
of the worst visual conventions;”
a year luter, Guillaume Apollinaire
said, “Cezanne’s last paintings and
water colors belong to (Cubism, but

(CCourbet was the father.” (Mr.
Cooper . postulated a “chain of
| events” which led from /Courbet

in 1850 to Cezanne and then _ to
Cubism. ‘The realism~in- Courbet’s
paintings was due to the signifi-

jcance he attached to common ob-
jects;

he had a “rational, down
to earth aesthetic”’and ofiten. sac-
rificed “beauty” to realism. The
Renaissance tradition reached its
culmination in Impressionism, ex-
hausting the possibilities of the
visual technique as the painted im-
age became identical with the op-
tical one. The future of painting,
Mr. ‘Cooper said, now depended on
the creation of a new reality be-
yond that of: the eye. Cezanne,
using the mind and- eye to catch
“the permanent reality and the
transient effect ... extracted from
the confusion of what the eye sees
certain things representative of
reality ... which are comprehen-
sible to the mind.” ‘The ~ Cubist
Braque, combining mind and eye,
imposed his own visions of a
scene on it when painting it.

Picasso

Picasso even in his earliest
paintings was against naturalism
and impressionism. In his works
of 1906-7 (self portrait, two nudes)
there is a sudden change of style,
the appearance of sculptural ef-
fects and heavy modelling of forms
defined by contours. These works,
created in an*emotion of detach--
ment, were of a quasi-archaic ap-
pearance and exhibit influences
from Gauguin, ancient Mediterran-
ean and Negro sculpture. Picasso’s
Desmoiselles d’Avignon (1907)

The Logic Behind Spring Vacation
“The cataeeewme =. was w vacation. From the last

class Friday, March 24, until nine o’clock, Tuesday, April 4.
Now the way we have always understood it, “vacation” means
a time free of usual working responsibilities, a pleasant
change in one’s activities for a designated period of time;
Webster concurs, as do Funk and Wagnalls, Merriam, La-
rousse, Langenscheidt’s, etc. But we accept Bryn Mawr’s
choice to be different (though we did get the “designated”’
part) having otherwise to endure pitiful consequences.

Perhaps it is that they (the Bryn Mawr Calendar Maker
and Work Planning Committee) have very good intentions.
They have eased the formality of having to have a spring
vacation. They have made it short enough so that we need
not suffer lengthily, in uncloistered atmospheres; they have
placed it in the middle of the mid-semster testing and paper
period so that we may consume this otherwise unmanageable
ten-day period either in recovery from previous weeks of
application or in preparation for the post-vacation battery.

They are only saving us from the evil influences of the
Greater Off-Campus. They have done us an admirable pro-
tective service in both shortening the vacation period and
surrounding it by Periods of Work so that we may feel our-
selves sufficiently mentally and emotionally involved in the
ivy not to be in any condition to think that we must be soci-
able. Isn’t this a nicer way of looking at spring vacation
than being adamant, audible, ardent and actively negative?

After Thought

Those of us who found the strength to defy the cross-
campus April breezes -and attend Saturday’s conference on
“The Role of the Intellectual in Contemporary American So-
ciety” were in for a thought-provoking and rewarding exper-
ience. The day was particularly valuable for those who at-
tended all four planned events, for the speeches took on more

meaning when reviewed in conjunction and the direct contact |1
furnished by the panel helped the participants toward an
understanding of contrasting attitudes and terminology.
This latter exchange of ideas, mirrored in the discussion
among Bryn Mawr students and delegates is, hopefully, im-
portant in approximating that communication about which
much of the panel audience was concerned. Several points
can be raised in criticism and suggestion. People who did not
attend, when asked why, said that they were either discour-
aged by or uninterested in the topic. It was sort of touchy;
Miss Bree wondered about our pretensions. Each speaker,
somewhat stumped by the title, dealt with the semantics of
“intellectual,” “role,” ‘‘intellectual’s role”—none attempted
“society’—then tried to define the topic. The Role of the
Intellectual in Contemporary American Society is a horren-
dous mouthful about which not many more mouthfuls can
be ‘said. If students remember the conference, they will
remember the speakers more than what each had to say. A
more challenging and manageable topic selected for future
-eonferences might leave a few new ideas on canipus after
their conceivers have left.
In summation, the conference made one realize once
again that life has grown increasingly complex and not more
definable since one began to read.

3 | _Letters to

Miss anew Cones ;
_ News Library View:

To the Editor:

Your remarks in the editorial of
22 March 1961 invite some com-
ment. You say “... there seems
to be a lack of recent works on
political science, economics, sociol-
ogy, etc. in our library.” (Since 1
July 1960 the College has spent
over $5,500 on this type of book, a
not..inconsiderable .sum. History,
though sometimes considered one
of the social sciences, is not includ-
ed in your list, though it should be
noted that over $1,000 has been
spent in the same period on his-
tory books. (Most of this almost
$7,000 has been expended on what
you term “recent books,” and in
addition, about $1,000 on books con-
cerned with problem areas—the
Far East and Africa.

Your comment about the lack
of “best” sellers is of course true..
There is no provision in the lib-
rary’s budget for this type of book,
but it may be of interest to note
that of the 16 titles in the Best
Seller “Fiction” List in the New
York Times Book Review five titles
were deemed worthy of purchase
for the library, and in the “Gener-
al” List eight of the 16 are here.
Such books as Coward’s “Pomp
and Circumstance” and De Vries’
“Through the Fields of Clover”
and even Kerr’s “The Snake Has
All the Lines” generally come to
the library as gifts, but only after
their “best seller’ days are over.
[In the meantime, the Bryn Mawr
reader who wants them currently,
will find them in the public libra-
ries or in the rental libraries of
the local bookstores,

The “Do not touch books” are
currently being worked on. They
are shelved where they are, not to
tantalize the library’s wayfarers,
but because of a notable lack of
storage space in the present lib-
rary building. With gift books
coming to the library at the rate
of an average of over 3,000 a year,
it is not as simple as it sounds “to
weed out those which are dupli-
cates and get them on the shelves”.

“Senior Notes Aeute
Malady.on Campus

To the Editor:

It has come to our attention that
you are not even aware of the des-
perate situation upon us, and as
the campus’ leading newspaper it
seenis only just to give you a

chance to carry the torch in this
greatest of all causes, The cur-
rent erisis, of course, is grave, but
one may well assume that with
vigorous but tactful negotiation
and sagacious planning against the
re-occurrence of any such dilemma
as now faces us, we may pass out
of this climate of extreme tension
into the freer and more propitious
area of the non-emergency.

In view of the amount of space

with this one, as moral disarma-

relations; hardly important in the
context of this greater woe), in-
tegration, intellectual fertility on
campus (perhaps that was not
your phrase), and even (sigh)
campus elections—in view of all
these it seems more than neces-
sary, it seems very very necessary
to pause for one solemn but poten-
tially rewarding moment to con-
sider the present problem and es-
pecially to relate it to ourselves—
that is, each one of us: you, you,
and YOU—because too many is-
sues remain mere issues and do not
transcend themselves to become
the actions of our daily lives. Or
even every other day.

Progressive Worsening

Let us pause -here to consider
the facts. These, as usual, are -ir-
relevant but can aid us if we ap-
proach them in the right frame of
mind, which. is of course open-
mindedness because the truth shall
make us free. (\Sometimes.) The
facts themselves present an im-
pressive picture. Not only has the
situation been becoming progres-
Sively worse since its relatively
obscure and evidently harmless be-
ginning some time ago, but at the
present moment it is safe to de-
clare that it is worse than it ever
was,

Realizing that no such discus-
sion of a situation has contributed
substantially to the social and ec-
onomic environment to which it
ought to be grateful for even al-
lowing it to survive, unless it si-
multaneously suggests either a
remedy or a highly practicable
approach to such a remedy, I would
suggest that this, being an affair
of such magnitude, be approached
with the caution and delicacy at-
tendant upon a stick of dynamite
or even a whole pile of it, to ex-
tend the metaphor. Therefore, I
would pretend nothing so rash as
to present an actual plan at this
time before all aspects of the prob-
lem have been thoroughly looked
into and even examined. I would,
however, unge with all my strength
and heart (insufficient though they
be to such a task, especially the
strength part) that the students
of this campus turn their serious,
even glum, attention to possible
approaches to an attempt to begin
starting to attack the problem. of
studying the introductory aspects
of this situation, and having turn-
ed their strength and hearts to the
task, may they flood the office of
your fine newspaper with their sin-
cere conclusions.

The’social impact of technology,
said Mr. Hutchisson, has been to
eliminate the drudgery first in

But the most complex machines
can do only what they are told; to
help in the ultimate direction of
society Mr. Hutchisson proposed
the Operational approach, which
has proved useful in war-time and
in industrial planning. In _ this
method an entire problem is re-
garded in an abstract representa-
tional form rather than broken in-
to separate parts whose solutions
may conflict.

looks to Europe where the condi-

Mr. Lynes proceeded to explain
his own composite image of the

ness, in art ,in politics. He called
this group part of a new elite, and
one which is a positive force in so-

jor, was Bryn ‘Mawr College’s rep-

tion of goals. Next, the variables
must be defined, that is, we must
find those areas in which policy
changes will affect the social struc-
ture as a whole. This analysis is
analogous to the construction of a
mathematical representation. The
third step is to devise social meas-
uring systems which will help us
determine the effects of varia-
tions. and therefore enable us to
prevent violent transitions. In
this area electric computers can
help us bring together and evdlu-
ate a great deal of data describing
social characteristics. Finally we
must find effective means of im-
plementing the necessary changes.
This step should involve breaking
down the communicatory barriers
between scientists and humanists
and thus utilizing and _ integrating
all the v various talents ‘at_our—dis-
posal,

Mr. Hutchisson stressed the need
for full development of a variety
of special abilities, and deprecated
society’s inhibiting emphasis on
the well-rounded individual. He
found sufficient reason for the
scientists’ optimism in that con-
cept of society which sees it as a
“whole system” which has “inertia,
elasticity and internal resistances”
and which is “susceptible to being
molded to fit man’s objectives, if
he can only formulate them.” He
gave a further hint of this confi-
dent view which sees with pleasure
the challenges of the future by
closing with a quotation from the
hymn: “We give thee thanks, O
Lord, that this our world is not
yet complete.”

i



ing foreign policy, the students
voted to recognize and admit Red
China to the United Nations. They
suggested that help be given to
Poland and Yugoslavia in an at-
tempt to separate them from the
communist bloc. They did not dis-
cuss disarmament although it was
genérally felt that it? would inev-
itably evolve. |

In their discussion of domestic
goals, the students voted to re-
form but not to abolish the House
Un-American Activities Commit-
tee.. They did vote, however, to
do away with disclaimer oaths on
a federal, state, and local level.
They requested abolition of the
Electoral College. They suggest-

affair and has since then usually
had a rather derogatory conota-

tion. Definitions of the intellec-
tual usually include the: idea of
a “disturber of some kind.” Miss
Brée prefers to the word “intel-
lectual,’—“thoughtful individual.”
Intellectualism is a ubiquitious
quality—the mental capacity that
differentiates us from the apes.
Therefore, the important thing is
the “development of tthe human
resource,” the training of all citi-
zens to use their mental capacities
to the fullest possible extent. In-
tellectualism is not the prerogative
of- professors or scientists but is
rto be found on all levels of all
societies.

Miss Brée pointed out that we
fear the wrong things and have
confidence in things that should
be examined. We should not be
afraid of our capacity to think
rationally. The role of the intellec-
tual in the past has been to form-
ulate pertinent questions even
though this has often led to his
being unpopular. The intellectual
manifests a willingness to change
vocabulary and therefore, a will-
ingness to change his mind.

Miss Brée closed her lecture with
two selections from St. John Perse:
one from “Exile,” ithe other from
his Nobel acceptance speech.

Moderator Loerke

Guides Panelists

The afternoon panel on the Role
of the Intellectual, held in the
Deanery, brought together the con-
ference delegates, the three speak-
ers and many members of the col-
lege community in a discussion
moderated fby William Loerke of
the History of Art Department.

An_ important ‘theme underlying
many of the questions was the
problem of communication. In
speaking to this point, Miss Brée
explained ther attitude that every
human has intellectual potential,
so that we must think of commun-
ication not as enlightenment, but
as an exchange which can create
enlargement of the mind in all par-
ticipants. Thus, in reference to the
Peace Corps, she stated that it is
impossible to export ideas—only
goods can be exported. _ “My res-
ponsibility,” she said, “is to say in
every situation what I think with-
out saying that what I think is
right.”

Mr. Hutchisson suggested that
scientific knowledge is in a differ-
ent category, and urged its dissem-
ination, especially today when the
time between discovery and appli-
cation is so short. Mr. Lynes con-
sidered this question of producing
articulate interpretation of science
“an unsolved problem.”

Mr. Loerke, referring to Mr.
Hutchisson’s lecture, raised the
question of whether scientific
methods can be applied success-
fully in the humanities. Mr. Hutch-
isson assured questioners that the
claims of individualism would be

|taken into account in setting goals,

and suggested that scientists are
less interested in production of
material goods and more interested
in “putting another piece in the
jig-saw puzzle” than most people
realize.

On the question of inferior work
but great rewards in the mass
media, Miss Brée said that the. sol-
ution must be a personal one, and
suggested that those who feel
strongly will make constructive
improvements. Questioned about
the modern novel, she indicated
that recent social dislocations
such as World War II have not
been conducive to novel - writing
and said that the “creative push”
just now is in poetry.

The conference concluded with
a tea which provided an opportun-
ity for further discussion with the



speakers.

by Kristine Gilmartin

Bryn (Mawr, : Haverford, and
jrrarthmore students, both past
nd present, combined in a recital

sponsored by ‘the Bryn Mawr Col-
lege Chorus ‘in the Music Room
April 7. The music was well-chos-
en and the performances generally
of-a very high caliber.

Nicely clear and defined flute
work by Victor Ludewig and the
voice part sung with moving pow-
er yet seeming effortlessness by
James Katowitz, baritone, combin-
ed with the piano accompaniment
of Jo Ann Krant to make the open-
ing Aria from Cantata Number 8
by J. S. Bach a richly satisfying
beginning and a portent of things
to come. The melodic line was
cheerful — especially considering

ich sterben? and even when more
lyrical always sprightly. Mr, Ka-
towitz’ crescendo in the middle sec-
tion was superb.

Solemn Sternness

Mr, Ludewig, with Miss Krant
accompanying, played Bach’s So-
nata Number 5 in G. The first
movement had a solemn sternness
of tone brought out well by the
flautist’s good sustained passages.
The second was gay and swift and
its tricky runs were faultlessly
executed. The fine crispness which
marks Mr. Ludewig’s playing was
evident-here.-The third movement
had a definite lilt to it and its ex-
pressive figures were well done.
The concluding portion of the so-
nata was difficult from a rhythmic
point of view and occasionally ac-
companist and soloist were not as
surely together as possible. The
piano work, in fact, left something
to be desired.

The most outstanding part of the
recital was to me Schumann’s Dic-
terliebe (“A Poet’s Love’) sung
by Mr. Katowitz with Miss Krant
at the piano. The sixteen songs
in the cycle ranged in emotion
from grief to joy to humor. In Die

voice went bounding along in rare
good humor dnd the song was ut-
terly delightful. However, mo-
ments later Mr. Katowitz. was
deeply moving his listeners with
Wenn ich in Deine Augen seh’. Ich
grolle nicht, a passionate outburst
of despair, was the high point of
the cycle, Shivers of excitement
were uncontrollable as Mr. Kato-
witz’ tremendous voice rose to the
intense “die dir am Herzen frisst.”
‘Miss Krant’spianod accompaniment,
often earrying on to conclusion
after the voice part ended, was
very fine; clear articulation was
especially notable. This song cy-
cle was, all in all, one of the most
impressive musical performances
I have ever heard.

Rachmaninoff’s Humoresq ue,
played by Miss Krant, had some
weak spots and perhaps should
have been memorized, . however,
the pianist acompanied every num-
ber on the program and consider-
ing this amount of: work, did very
well. In her solo she managed to
negotiate the difficult chords quite
well, her power was good and the
ipiece’s more lyrical passage nicely
done.

Sonatine for flute and piano by
H. Dutilleux was Mr. Ludewig’s
second offering and revealed a
truly virtuoso quality. The trills
and difficult runs were almost al- _
ways perfect. The frantic, what
I can only describe as “buzzing”
section was devilish and outstand-
ingly well done.

An Aria from another Bach Can-
tata (this time Number 157), Ich
lasse dich nicht concluded the pro-
gram. Flute, piano, and violin—
playéd by Barbara Dancis—com-
bined with Mr. Katowitz’ baritone
in a vigorous, sound performance.
The violin and flute answering
passages were well done, and in
general the timing, not always
easy, was well-handled, Like this
concluding number, the whole re-
cital was excellent.





The Ford Foundation has given
grants to five juniors for special
research in public affairs this sum-
mer, The students, ‘Marlene Bron-

Critic Draises Prod
Lauds Actors’ Fait

_ by Lois Potter

The Phoenix Theater’s Hamlet is
the best one J Hiave ever seen. This
statement is not half so impress-
ive as it sounds; since the other
two Hamlets in my life are Oliv-
ier’s excessively cut movie version
and the Ruritanian melodrama
which the Old Vic brought to Phil-
adelphia two years ago. But. I
want people to go to New York
and see this one (it is running un-
til May 14, and the Phoenix offers
CHEAP student tickets), so I sug-
gest that, if you have not managed
to attend the performances of Bur-
bage, Garrick, Kemble, Kean, Irv-
ing, Forbes-Robertson, and Giel-
gud, you may find Donald Mad-
den’s Hamlet as good as any of
our time.

What is particularly engaging
about the Phoenix production is its
wilingness to trust Shakespeare.

For instance, the “Hecuba” speech
which the First Player delivers for
Hamlet—-usually treated as an un-
pleasant moment to be got over as
soon as possible—turned out to be
an interesting exercise in decla-
mation, mainly because it was de-
livered as if it made sense. The
last time I saw it done, the First
Player ranted so abominably that
one couldn’t understand his being
on such good terms with a fastidi-
ous drama critic like Hamlet.

Murder of Gonzago

Similarly, “The Murder of Gon-
zago” was played as if it could be
enjoyed, and, sure enough, it could.
This was the first time I have seen
both the dumb show and the mur-9
der play given, and the smooth
acting of the whole scene made me
wonder why it has always been
such a stumbling block for schol-
ars. Claudius does watch both the
dumb show and the play, and his
reaction to the first is just what
one might expect: growing dis-
comfort and a vague sense that he
had seen the whole thing some-
where before.

Instead of slackening as they
reach the end, the actors seem to
regain new strength—the final
scene of the play is full of excite-
ment, and the. blaze of color when
all the protagonists lie gorgeously
dead in their finery fully justified
Fortinbras’s exclaimation “Proud

Mr. Madden is a very young
Hamlet.— much too young, if
Shakespeare really had a thirty-
year-old hero in mind, which I have
always found hard to believe (how
can Hamlet be two years older
than Iago?). Perhaps it is his
youth which gives him such re-
spect for his author, for he plays
Hamlet as if his knowledge of the
“part came from the play, instead
of from the critics.

Grace and Agility

From thé reviews, I had expect-
- ed to hear a shouting, hysterical,
table-pounding, and rather embar-
rassing performance. It’s true that
(Mr. (Madden’s excepional grace and
agility sometimes tempt him to
movements on the floor a little too
often, I thought—but he never let
his gestures detract from the
meaning of his words, With Ho-
ratio, his childlike simplicity gave
one the necessary glimpse of the
“Courtier’s, scholar’s, soldier’s”
mind as it must have been before
it grew bitter.

Hamlet is what makes or: breaks
Hamlet, so I have little to, say
about the other actors. Instead, I
shall now prove my impartiality
by offering some criticisms... The
mural in the Queen’s closet is both
ugly and anachronistic, and its
symbolic value is nil. Also, if one
is going to keep Cornelius and
Voltemand in the play to the ex-
-tent of sending them off to Nor-
way, why not let them come back
too? _

Above all, why not be honest
about Fortinbras? If you don’t
appreciate his function in the play,

leave him out; if you want him in,

|tempted a quick survey of the at-

uction of Hamlet
leave him in—all of him. The
Phoenix retains the barest mini-
mum of references to him and it
isn’t enough. Consequently, when
he makes his first and only ap-
pearance at the end of the play,

there are plenty of spectators to
ask, “‘Who’s he, the coroner?”

Also, of course, it would help if
a really first-rate actor were en-
trusted with this part and, per-
haps, doubled it with that of the
ghost, which always tends to get
short-changed. (I wonder wheth-
er Shakespeare played it as badly
as most of his successors?).

To Eliminate “To Be”

What I should really like to see
is a Hamlet containing every scrap
of the Fortinbras plot and cutting
—guess what?—the “To be or not
to be’. Everyone’ knows it by
heart already, which forces the act-
or either to throw the speech away
by underplaying it, or else rack
his brains for new, subtle, and, in
short, farfetched ways of deliver-
nig it. Mr. Madden, to do him jus-
tice, resorts to neither expedient;
but judge for yourself whether you
can enjoy his soliloquy after the
parodies, the high-schol recita-
tions, the recordings, and above
all, your own mental preconcep-
tions of it.

The solution might be for the
actor to speak the first six words
in loud, clear tones, and then turn
his back to the audience, thus giv-
ing them a chance to mutter the
rest, which they are likely to do
anyway. This would get the thing
-over with a lot sooner, and relieve
a lot of suppressed tensions among
the spectators. It might even give
the producer time to include Ham-
let’s superb sololoquy, “How all
occasions do inform against me”,
which is the most unkindest cut of
all in the otherwise admirable
Phoenix production.

Survey Uncovers
College Approval
Of ‘Peace Corps’

Prior to President Kennedy’s es-
tablishment of the Peace Corps
Administration on March 1, the
American. Council on Education at-

titude of its 963 member colleges
and universities towards proposals
for an international youth service
corps. Questionnaires were mailed
on February 17, and the Council
received 468 replies before the sur-
vey closed on ‘March 10.. Of these,
441 expressed approval of the pro-
posed youth corps, now known as
the Peace Corps.

Most of the institutions replying
indicated some’ degree of student
interest in an international service
conps. Half of the replies favored
limiting the corps to four-year col-
lege graduates; the other half felt
the corps should be open to anyone
who had had two years of educa-
tion beyond high school. A major-
ity of the colleges thought that the
federal government by grant or
contract should designate to vari-
ous colleges, universities, and vol-
untary agencies the _ selection,
training, and overseas placement
of youth corps members. Almost
300 colleges expressed willingness
to train volunteers for the corps;
a majority of these felt best equip-
ped to train workers for service in
Latin America,

For Financial Aid

Thomas Noone, a member of the
International (Bank for Reconstruc-
tion and Development, known. as
the ‘World Bank, offered a “Blue-

Thursday, April 6. Detailing the
history and character of the Bank,
Mr. Noone outlined its purpose
and results.

The World Bank is the largest
multilateral agency engaged in aid-
ing underdeveloped countries. Es-
tablished in 1946 it now has sixty-
eight member nations which,
through their membership, are en-
titled to borrow funds. A self-
supporting agency capitalized at
$21 billion, the Bank annually lends
$700 million at an interest rate
of 5%%. A co-operative organi-
zation, the Bank offers publicly
subscribed stock, 32% of which is
owned by the United States.

The ‘governing agency of the
World Bank, located in Washing-
ton, D. C., consists of a board of
governors, one from each member
nation. As an expediency, a board
of eighteen hired directors controls
daily business. Five of these are
appointed by the Big Five, the
other thirteen being elected by the
other members.

Formation of Bank

When formulated at Bretton
Woods in 1944, Mr. Noone stated,
the Bank was designated to aid in
the reconstruction of Europe. Be-
cause its funds were seen to be in-
sufficient for this purpose, the task
was assumed by the Marshall Plan.
In 1949 the Bank turned exclusive-
ly to the assistance of underdevel-
oped countries. ‘
According to Mr. Noone, the ob-
ject of the Bank is to “overcome
widespread poverty in the world
without tearing down those human
values which we hold in esteem.”
Its aim is not merely. to hand out
money which might be misused,
but to provide a partnership rela-
tion through which a member na-
tion can obtain the aid it really
needs. The laws of the Charter re-
quire that money can be loaned:
only for productive purposes (i.e.
not for education, housing, and
hospitals, etc.), only when the bor-
rower, if a private concern, is
endorsed by his government, and
only if the money is not available
elsewhere.

Credit. Not Money
When money is loaned, it is not
given out, but is kept in the Bank
credited to the borrower’s name.
Against this credit specific bills
from the project involved are
drawn. As (Mr. Noone noted, be-
cause a borrower never actually
possesses the money himself, he
cannot misuse it. :
Being most concerned with what
is relevant to and important for an
underdeveloped country, the Bank
will support only those projects
which it considers worthwhile. In

Origins of Cubism

Continued from Page 1, Coleth awit We pen, Beane

ist posed most of the problems
and concepts that were to be evolv-
ed in the next seven years. With
slides, Mr, Cooper pointed out
traces of Cezanne, Iberian sculp-
ture (of a “declassed” Roman or-
der). and the sculptural Negro
idiom. Following this painting,
Picasso did work of two orders
which are represented in it; sculp-
tural painting and colorful, expres-
sionistic painting.

Picasso’s aversion to exhibiting
accounted for the slow spread of
Cubism in the Early period;
Braque, Mr. Cooper related, did see
the work of Picasso and promptly
abandoned Fauvism for the new
and independent tradition of Cub-
ism. Mr. (Cooper considers Braque’s
“Nude” (1907) as his first Cubist-
influenced painting; Braque ‘was
indebted to (Picasso for the mask-
like treatment of the face and the
treatment of the background, and
to Cezanne and especially Matisse
in his use of outline and sweeping
brush stroke.

Simplifications

In challenging the traditional
methods of treating form, color,
light and line, Picasso simplified
form and line in order to represent
specific things; he attempted to
transcend a single profile view and
with Braque shared the idea of
projecting figures forward in relief
from a background. They handled
light. so that no regular shadows
fell; they did not use the line as a

structural element; they suggested
volume ‘by “faceting”, depth or
space by a series of planes, “the
upward piling” of elements in a
picture. Both were concerned with
the structural and tactile effects of
things in realistic representation.
The tangibility and true pictorial
representation of space were their
fundamental considerations.

“The first true Cubist painting,”
Mr. ‘Cooper feels, is Braque’s “The
Harbor” (1909). In it light and
color are treated together, the line
is used merely as a means of mea-
suring distance between points.
The basis—of—the-ecomposition lies
in-its horizontals and diagonals;
there is a piling up of elements,
and a conscious sense conveyed to
the viewer of the solid reality of
things in the treatment of space.

‘Mr. (Cooper concluded his lecture.

of many nations.

A number of these publications
are issued by the Coordinating
Secretariat of National Unions of
Students, which represents an or-
ganization (the International Stu-
dent Conference) described by
NSA as “the only democratic, rep-
resentative, international student
forum.” Among these The Student,
a monthly containing articles on
youth activity by students from
many lands, and the Information
Bulletin, a monthly report of cap-
sule news from around the world,
are available free of charge to
member schools of NSA. Colleges
may also subscribe to a variety of
periodicals published by national
and international youth groups.

’ Pamphlets at BMC

Melinda Aikins, campus coordin-
ator for NSA, reports that some of
these publications and also many
pamphlets released by NSA are
sent to Bryn Mawr. There is, how-
ever, no official method for their
circulation on the campus. Melinda
believes that if arrangements could
be made for a special magazine
rack in the library periodical room,
and perhaps an additional one in

comparisons between Braque and
Picasso: Braque represented space
and volume as a continuous whole
while Picasso chopped them and
had forms and lines going in all di-
rections; (Picasso was more inter-
ested in the forms, ‘Braque in the
space between them; Braque’s de-
velopment in the Cubist tradition
was continuous: and is traceable
in his landscape paintings; Picas-
so’s progress was “zigzag” and
traceable through figure painting.
Tomorow night Mr. Cooper will con-
tinue. his analysis of Braque and Picasso.
The News regrets its inability. to furnish
plates to illustrate coverage of this lec-



ture series.

They concluded their report with
an expression of their faith in the
basic purpose of the United States
as it is stated in the preamble of
the ‘Constitution. They agreed that
the goals they enunciated “draw
their inspiration from that pur-
pose” and “are meant to further
that purpose in the contemporary
situation.” They stated that these
goals are mational; they did not
claim for them international va-
lidity but hoped that they are root-
ed in values which are’ universal.

THE COLLEGE NEWS

Wednesday, April 12, 1961





a ) by Brooks Robards

In a college with a free cut sys-
tem, why must students attend
their first class before and their
last class after a vacation? I
would like to propose that such a
decision be left to the student,
and Bryn Mawr students, who have

so much freedom ‘already, should
logically be trusted with this re-
sponsibility. If the student, who
is paying for the right to attend
classes, chooses not to take ad-
vantage of this right, that is her
prerogative.

One of the most confusing as-
pects of the problem is that the
administration takes no consistent
Stand on the rule. A freshman was
put on three weeks cut-pro when
she forgot to sign the attendance
sheet for her last class; a senior
who forgot to sign out received
no .punishment,. .Qne girl was al-
lowed tto leave school a day early
to get home in time for her com-
ing-out party; a girl from the
Midwest was put on three weeks
pro-cut because she left fifteen
minutes early to make a_ plane
connection.

Moreover, many students know
neither who doles out the punish-

ments nor how severe they will
will be. The idea of deferring fin-
al exams until the fiall seems un-
fair under any circumstances.

Those who doubt that the re-
sponsibility for attending these
classes can be given to the student,
will surely agree that the decision
is better placed with the individ-
ual, professors than with the ad-
ministration. Under the present
system, the administration should
at least have a more consistent
policy, and, since it considers geo-
graphic distribution important, it
should have a policy which will
facilitate travel.

Goldwater Proves Inspiring

Barry M. Goldwater of Age eng v7 from-this sur-
has caused a new interest amdmg]vey are that Goldwater’s personal

student groups in conservatism,
Newsweek reports in its April 10
issue. The Republican senator has
inspired enthusiasm among young
people not only for conservatism,
but also for all aspects of political

philosophy, the article, ‘“Conserva-
tives on the Campus,” states.

In an attempt to evaluate Gold-
water’s recent’ popularity, News-
week polled the deans of twenty-
five colleges and universities. The

*

appeal has made conservatism

more “respeetable” than it has been
considered for thrée decades and
that he has created new interest in
social philosophy.

‘Most of the deans questioned re-
ported a resurgence of conserva-
tism on their respective campuses.
Several observed no change in po-
litical sentiment. Miss Mabel L.
Lang of BMC is quoted as saying:
“We have noted no general upsurge



of conservatism on this campus.”
