‘Machiavelli’ Highlights’
B. M. C. Career
- May Queen Mimi “Machiavelli,”
in this country on a “Liberace
scholarship for di misplaced stu-}
dente,” discussed her first year at
Bryn Mawr before a group of
early-risers surrounding the May-
pole.
“In di beginning was di word
and di word was sink or swim,” la-
mented Mimi. However, she man-
aged to survive the freshman
swimming test, only to run into
difficulty with a problem unique to
Bryn Mawr: “I take di oral Itali-
ano and flunk it. Di professore
does not have di great appreciation
of my Neopolitan accent.”
Mimi then took a course to learn
about “di foundations of America.”
This course was conducted by Dr.
Dryrock, who told her rather
bluntly that she had rocks in her
head, not her pocket.
After a disrupting weekend with
her “papa’s old friend, Signor Joe
DiMaggio,” and his beautiful wife,
Marilyn Monroe (“like Vesuvius—
beautiful shape, dangerously
hot”), Mimi returned to the Bryn
Mawr station:
“Tt is dark when I arrive at di
station. In Italia, girls with vritue
do not go in di street when it is
late. Der is no taxi, so I walk. I

ROS SIMAN
Ros Siman, a political science
major, has been awarded this year’s
Maria L. Eastman Brooke Hall
Memorial Scholarship for having
the highest average in the junior
class.
Ros, a non-res student, lives in
Bryn Mawr. Before entering the
college, she attended Lower Mer-
ion High School in Ardmore.
Ros has been active in under-
graduate activities, particularly in
the field of music. She directed
her junior show, Odd ’n Eden, and
was musical director of both her
freshman show and last year’s
Maids and Porters show, Finian’s
Rainbow. Ros is also a member of
the chorus.
May Day Moves From Fund-Raising
Campaign To Traditional Celebration
by Carol Hansen, °57
“May Day”, once said Marian E.
Park, former president of Bryn
Mawr, “is one of the great days of
the college year because it ties the
past year to the coming one.” The
announcements of changes in fac-
ulty and the awarding of fellow-
ships and scholarships in recogni-
tion of past achievement and for
help in the future form this link.
But May Day also helps build a
bridge between the present student
body and its less-immediate prede-
cessors. The history of the tradi-
tional celebration is almost as old
as that of the college itself. The
original purpose of the event was
to raise money for a Student’s
Building Fund, which finally cul-
minated with the completion of
Goodhart in 1928.
Elizabeth Walker Andrews, ’93,
was the person who suggested
staging this revival of the Eliza-
bethan May Day of the-country.
people; Most of the Maypole danc-
es and songs which we use today
grew out of Big May Day which
first took place in 1902. From then
until 1936 a large celebration was
held every four years with small
and middle-sized ones in between.
Interest in Big May Day was
widespread since this was the first
revival of its kind in the country.
It must have been quite an im-
pressive spectacle with the pag-
eant, floats, dances and plays which
lasted for two days. Students and
professors alike were attired in
to holding such an event, and it
finally died out. Most important
of all factors contributing to this
was that time for preparations
took at least six weeks. Publicity
‘Lady Of The May’ Picks
Mate In Cloisters
This year’s May Day play, Lady
of the May, will be given in the
| Cloisters of the library at 6:30 p.m,
on Monday. Written by Sir Phil-
lip Sidney, it was first presented
for Queen Elizabeth by some of
he? courtiers.
It concerns the young Lady of
the May, who is trying to choose
between Therion, the forester, and
the shepherd Espilus. She calls
upon Queen Elizabeth to decide the
question.
The suitors present their own
qualifications, after which two
other characters, Dorcus and Rix-
us, debate the matter. After
Queen Elizabeth chooses the shep-
herd, the masque ends in a song.
The cast of characters includes:
Queen Elizabeth, Barbara Gold-
berg; the mother of the Lady of
the May, Charlotte Busse; Lalus,
Lyte Mitchell; Rhombus, Sue Fox;
Lady of the May, Hilda Enos;
Dorcus, Kate Rodgers; Rixus,
Jean McIntyre; Therion, Nancy
Dyer; Espilus, Nancy Moore.
Anne Knudsen, Leslie Kandell,
and Leigh Scott will be the mu-
sicians, and Barbie Bornemann, the
herald. Liz Gordon and Rabbit
MacVeagh will act as courtiers,
Presented under the auspices of
College Theatre, the masquy will
be directed by Rabbit MacVeagh
and Kate Rodgers, with Dr. A. C.
Sprague advising. Jean McIntyre
will assist with costumes.

BETSY MENDELL
This year’s winner of the Charles
S. Hinchman Memorial Scholar
ship, given for outstanding work
in the major field, is Betsy Mendell.
Betsy is a math major, and lives in
Pembroke East. :
Betsy’s home is in Bethany,
Connecticut.. Before entering Bryn
Mawr she attended the Prospect
‘Hill School in New Haven. Here
at college she is a member of the
varsity badminton team, and this
year was head of the Classics Club.
Of her academic work, it was
said that she had the “unanimous
thought that her achievements so
far had been remarkable, anJ that
her work showed even greater
promise for the future.”
was considered “un-ladylike” and
to be scrupulously avoided. And
the white oxen which traditionally
pulled the floats were forever caus-
ing trouble.
The May Day of 1956, however,
will retain many of the features
of the earlier events. Maypole
dancing and many of the songs are
the same. The strawberry break-
fast, too, seems to have been hand-
ed- down from the first. For a while
the fare also included creamed
chipped beef, but this was later
eliminated by popular request.
Hoop-rolling, one of the oldest
traditions, can be traced back to
the late ’90’s, when its presence
was very significant. It seems that
rolling hoops meant that.all seniors
had. passed their orals. Moreover,
if one failed, no hoops could be
rolled. :
The class of 1904 inaugurated
the practice of singing the hymn
to the sun from the tower of Rock-
efeller Hall, following the exam-
ple of Magdalen College, Oxford.
The tower. was, in a sense, design-
ed for this purpose. This custom
has proved to be one of the most
controversial in May Day. On this
earlier-than-ever 1955 May Day,
the words of a senior of the class
of ’35 are notable:
“Now I lay mé down to sleep,
How much do we really like May
Day? One of the 101 psych labs
prepared a questionnaire recently
to try to determine the answer to
this question. The overall results
show that Bryn Mawrters are in
favor of May Day.
Questions were graded on an
opinion scale of 1-4. One is very
unfavorable, two slightly unfavor-
able, three slightly favorable, and
four very favorable. The college
median turned out to be three, in-
dicating that we are slightly in
|favor of May Day. Class medians
were as follows:
Seniors 2.8
‘ Juniors 8.2
Sophomores 8.0
Freshmen 3.0
| The key question was “Do you
‘liké the ceremony of May Day as
well as the tradition?”, as the hy-
pothesis was that people like May
Day as a tradition, not as a cele-
bration. 80% of those filling out ,
| the questionnaire answered “ves”
to the crucial question, proving
that the hypothesis was wrong.
The questionnaire of this 80%
were then checked to see how
these people answered other ques-
tions favorable to the May Day
celebration. It was found that
82% of the people were consistent
lin their answers.

°56 Athletic Song
Is All-New Today
One of the biggest May Day
mysteries to many of us is ‘hew the
songs of the previous year’s senior
class which suddenly reappear are
distributed. The seniors are al-
lowed first choice and-may pick
only one song. The class of ’55
selected “New England on a Sum-
mer’s Day” as their inheritance.
They will also sing “Lily Reed”
‘which was written by Gwen Davis,
54, for both the junior and senior
classes,
The juniors may take any or all
of the rest of the songs which were
the property of their sister class.
Among the ones which ’56 will
sing for the first time on Monday
are the “Vicar of Brae”, “My True
Love. Hath My Heart”, “Silver
Moon” and “Come to the Fair”.
They will also introduce a new
athletic song on May Day written
by. Songmistress Miggie Schwab
and Ann Harris. -
Each year each class adds one
new May Day song and two lyric
| songs to its repertoire.

And Eat It Too
A psychology poll shows
that 80% of Bryn Mawrters
favor May Day the “ceremony” as well as May Day the “‘tra-
dition.”
Professors, noting that this ceremony is not partic-
ularly favored if it is to be held on Saturday, might well take
issue with this. But if May Day were to be held on Saturday,
the whole effect would indeed be lost. For May Day must’be
played at an extremely rapid
pace; we could not safely set
aside a whole day to go through the program leisurely. For
if we walked, instead of ran, through our traditions, someone
would surely laugh, and the whole spell would be broken.
As it is, when we get up at 5:30 in the morning and are
fed strawberries, and something other than poached eggs,
we are both in such a daze and so well fortified that we can
sail through the morning’s activities and end up at Senior
Steps before we completely realized what we have done.
By
that time we realize that-we have had a good time (May Day
is fun) and everybody is quite
pleased with himself. This of
course may wear off after a few weeks, and we hear grumbles
of dissatisfaction about May Day, but comes the spring and
the pressure of the weather and the songmistress, and we are
quite willing to go through our paces again.
No one of course takes May Day seriously. (Although it
does have its serious moments, they are not actually a part
of the “celebration”). But we are not like other people who
come to stare and laugh. We can have our cake and eat it
too. We can laugh at ourselves and have the fun of running
around campus with strawberries under our belts and hoops
over our arms. It’s quite an ideal situation. .

Dear Editor:
I happened to glance through
the editorial. (“The Unescorted
Girl”) in your issue of March 2,
1955, and was. amused to see an-
other instance of the eterial strug-
gle between the foggy fuzziness of
human relations and the perfect
clarity of the mathematical lan-
guage. (See any history of phil-
osophy for earlier examples),
The editorial concludes that
-| Bryn Mawr students should be al-
lowed to stay out any night until
2:00 am. Why? The streets are
as dangerous between 1:59 and
2:00 a.m, as between 2:00 and
2:01 a.m.; if the students are safe
one minute before two, they are
safe also one minute after two.
Continue this reasoning; you will
find that the students should be
allowed to sign out until 2:02, then
at 12:30 and 2:00; apparently, some
legal reasons exist of which I am
totally ignorant. But if I, again
as an outsider, were asked wheth-
er a time limit should be maintain-
ed, I would answer in the affirma-
tive. It seems to me that, to put
it bluntly, the main function of a
curfew is to spoil the fun, and for
this purpose an exact timing is re-
dundant. The curfew is a symbol
of the superiority of duty to pleas-
ure.._ Every time when the student,
amidst her pleasures, remembers
that pleasures are short-lived and
that the time of doing her duty
comes near, she is being prepared
for a life of responsibility. Moral
education through curfew.
Yours sincerely,
J. J. Bikerman

To the Editor:
Last week’s editorial on the Al-
liance raised an important point
about the role of the organization
but we feel that the dichotomy of
purpose and_ responsibility _ has
been over-simplified. Board mem-
bers and non-board members have
discussed the -problem at great
length, and while we have general-
ly agreed that club activities and
smaller group work should be
geared to meet the demands of
students already interested in po-
litical affairs, we have felt that the
rest of the college should not be
disregarded.
In a college community, along
with our academic curriculum, we
have a unique opportunity to. con-
sider political and social problems,
without the pressure of some of
the more practical demands in life.
The Alliance acquires its purpose
from the fact that we have this op-
portunity to evaluate world affairs
in an intellectual atmosphere.
Certainly an. organization co-
ordinating political activities
should provide programs on the
“discussing” and “doing” levels,
but it is also responsible for pro-
viding “food--for thought” for
many students who might become
interested in ideas if'a political or

social nature, if they were exposed
to the problems. For this reason,
it seems important to continue
such programs~as ‘Current Events
and the assembly series.
As to the nature of speakers, it
must be possible to strike a happy
medium between the celebrity and
the lesser-known personality.
When we start writing letters,
however, we find that many well-
qualified analysts are not able to
visit Bryn Mawr for one reason or
another. Some years the Speakers
Committee is more successful than
in other years in obtaining the
speakers they want. most. Devel-
oping more activity around a lec-
ture is worthwhile, but in order
to achieve a program such as Hav-
erford’s Phillips visitors, we would
need a Mr. Phillips to endow the
Alliance with equivalent funds. If
you can recommend a benefactor,
the Alliance board will receive him
gratefully, since Alliance ordinar-
ily depends on the Common Treas-
ury.
Suggestions for any kind of ac-
tivity, speakers, and topics for lec-
tures or discussion are always wel-
comed by the board.
Sincerely,
Sheppie Glass,
Anne Mazick

most unusual experiences of my
life. |
Mr. Robeson has a_ beautiful
voice. The program was well-
chosen and highly diversified. It
consisted mainly in folk songs of
different lands and different moods.
I found many of the renditions
profoundly moving.
The Man in the Songs
Had Paul Robeson communicat-
ed with his audience solely through
his songs, I think that he might
have achieved much of what he at-
tempted to do. The fact that he
sang so well in so many different
languages, the fact that these were
songs “of the people,” the fact
that many of these people were
suffering, the fact that in some
sense we are all brothers—all of
these must have come across to an
audience which was probably at
least as sympathetic to the human
being Robeson as I was.
A certain kind of person seemed
to come across in those songs: an '
artist, yes, but primarily a man
who had a great love for what he
sang and for the implications of
what he sang.
The Man Who Spoke
When Robeson spoke, I felt that”
man disappear. I felt all-of my
sympathy for what he stood for
disappear. I found him to be bit-
ter and militant; I felt uncomfort-
able at being accused of conditions
which I felt were not my fault and
perhaps I felt disillusioned and
outraged at the “trick” which had
been played with my feelings.
Beyond this emotional reaction,
I felt that Mr. Robeson’s oratory
was totally unlike what. I had ex-
pected it to be. I had anticipated
hearing a man voice opinions with
{which I felt I would strongly dis-
agree. But I was astounded to find
myself up against a_ situation
which ran completely counter to
any experience I-hHad ever had.
Propaganda Techniques
The closest that I“can come to
describing the nature of this ex-
perience is merely to report that
from my knowledge of the nature
and methods of propaganda, Mr.
Robeson used just about all of
them. A kind of: message (about
peace, brotherhood, equality of all
races and religiéns) was “preach-
ed” without benefit of any appeal
to reason or logical consistency.
He was disorganized; emotional
and never grappled with basic is-
sues. He spoke in abstractions,
used a few facts, but did not come
to grips -with-the full implications _
of those facts. When questioned,
he either did not answer directly,
or refused. to accept the basic
premise of the questioner.
What is interesting to note is
that, either because this method is
the only one which he knows, or
because he almost completely un-
ence, much of Mr. Robeson’s
speech achieved an effect almost
diametrically opposed to that
which he intended. My guess is
that practically everyone in the

Counterpoint’s ‘Homemade’ Techniques
Result In Solvency And More Variety
especially’ contributed
“py Donnie Brown, ’57
Counterpoint, the campus li
ary magazine, is no longer a pub-
lication that can.be put together
in a few. afternoons of reading cyn-
tributions and relying on a pubjish-
er to do the dirty work. Not onhy
do the board members have to ap-
proach more people with wheed-
ling looks on their faces asking for
contributions, but they also have
to prepare the magazine for mim-
eographing and then put it togeth-
er by hand.
The final result of all this labour}
is not a chic, shiny covered (and
select edition but one that looks
somewhat homemade. But behind
the cover of the new Counterpoint
is a ‘great deal more; for your
money. By spacing and typing
the accepted stories and poems
themselves and having Pearl in
the Maids’ Bureau do a fine job of
mimeographing it in between hon-|
ors papers, Counterpoint is actu-
ally able to do more than break:
even.
by girls with essentially the same
ideas in mind.
A great deal of this will be very
good but if we published just’ the
work of one competent school of
writing, we would soon be no long-
er representative of nmfost of the
college. Therefore we are con-
stantly seeking new writers. The
English professors are besought
month or so“ before publication,
if any good writing has
been tuyned into them. The glories
of appearing in print are held up
to the’/freshmen, who offer an un-
limited field, and people who have
submitted before are urged to do
so again and “bring a friend”.
_We had hoped new writers would
come to us this time and that we
would not have to seek them. That
is an editorial fallacy. _In time
more and more writers will want
to work for a magazine, but as it |
is stressed by innumerable visiting
editors of big magazines, the writ- |
er must be made to want to write
| for the magazine in question.
There is also a much gréater se- |
lection of campus writing since it:
can now afford to publish a great:
many more pieces of writing. Nat-:
utally in the past when the issue’
was limited to 25 or 30 pages there.
was little chance of having a truly :
representative issue. Even with a.
spring issue of approximately 75
pages Counterpoint is still not as,
representative of the campus as:
the board would like it to be.
Our trouble is the same as many
of. the professional magazines, in-
cluding the New. Yorker and the
Atlantic. There are not as many
contributors in as many different
styles of writing as we would wish.
That is why if the rumour has gone
out that someone has written
something good, a board member
will approach her with an avarici-
ous look in her eyes. Thus, with-
owt even planning upon it, many
people see their names in print for
the first time.
Although Counterpoint will go to
great lengths to extract a story or
‘a poem from some campus writer,
that does not mean that there is an
‘actual dearth of material submit-
ted, Thirty or more stories will
be read by the board and editors
before the five or six published are
decided upon. The thing Counter-.
point seeks te avoid is finding it-.
self in a literary rut with the same:
‘type of material being submitted
Now that Counterpoint is pre-
pared to publish two or three times
more the amount of work than
previously there is’ more incentive.
You know among other things you
have a better chance of getting
published, and you will be publish-
ed in a magazine that is probably
in as great experimental throes as
it was when it first came out with
Haverford in 1948.
We have a whole new set-up and
so far it seems to be working.
Counterpoint is still far from be-
ing either terribly conservative or
avant garde, and it tries even hard-
er to keep from being middle class
or just average.
the whole thing ourselves is pay-
ing off, not only in the terms of
not going into debt anymore and
actually being able to pull our-
selves out of it, but in the terms of
literary experience.
It is far more Valuable both to
select the material for and to put
a magazine together, than to leave
everything to an anonymous pub-
lisher after a few pieces of work
have been selected. There is a
great deal more physical work for
the board but there is also exper-
ience gained.
for Counterpoint, work on the ed-
itorial board or do both you get to
see your name in print.
Pauling, Chemistry Nobel Laureate, -
Gives Lecture On “Protein Structure”
Linué Pauling, 1954 Nobel Lau-
reate in Chemistry, discussed “Pro-
tein Structure” at the Sigma Xi
‘lecture on April 28 at 8:30 in Park,
He said that studies of protein
‘structure will enable scientists to
‘determine the structure of the well
adjusted human body. They could
‘then tell not only how hemoglobin
‘acts to bring oxygen to the tissues
but the difference between the nor-
mal compound and that of sickle
cell and other anemias.
There are about 600 amino acids
in a protein and 25 different amino
“acids. ‘This means that there are
25 to the 600th power possible
-combinations of molecules. eer
ithe difficulty of identifying..th
‘particular components increases as
the center is approached, recent
“studies. have concentrated on the
. struetire’ of the molecule. Meas-
‘urements showed that rather than
_forming’a straight chain, the mole-
‘cule was arranged in an almost
‘round “bundle”,
“In 1948,” said Mr, Pauling, “I

‘the simplest arrangemient of the

j _ By creasing a Piece of ~paper
with a drawing of the molecule
chain on it, he arrived at a helix
structure, where the oxygen atoms
were hydrogen bonded to an amino
group in the third tier above and
which would be stable because it
didn’t have a hollow core.
The theory was corroborated
when L. poly gamma methyl glu-
tamate was synthesized. It gave
the calculated x-ray pattern and
had the number of amino acids per
turn or for an alpha helix
structure.
A discrepancy between figures

Four Speakers Discuss Marriage,

Mixed marriages, the role of re-

were some of the major topics at

a Catholic layman, Bob James,
Quaker and leader of the student
Christian movement, Theodore Gor-

of marriage. In this light, remar-
riage after divorce can be seen as
adultery.
Rabbi Gordon said that “the fam-
ily is the central institution in
Jewish life.’ The predominant
portion of the ceremony and ritual
is centered in the home rather
than in the synagogue.
Although getting a religious di-
vorce “has been remarkably easy”
(in ancient times a man purchased
his wife and could divorce her al-
most at will), it “has been the
rarest of occurrences .. . because
of the strength of the family life.”

Pottle Talks On “Boswell Re-Valued”;
Wealth Of Material Recently Acquired
On April 28, Mr. Frederick Pot-
tle, Sterling Professor of English
Literature at Yale, spoek in Good-
hart on “Boswell Re-valued”. He
re-examined the famous biograph-
er in the light of the wealth of
Boswellian material recently un-
discovered and now being edited
‘and collected at Yale, under Mr.
Pottle’s direction.
Mr. Pottle began with a discus-
sion ofthe points. emerging in
present-day critical thinking in re-
gard to James Boswell and his
work. He briefly described the na-
ture of the Boswell material, which
consists of everything from ex-
pense accounts to his voluminous
correspondence.
The amount and variety of-the
material, as well as its value to us
today, was explained by Mr. Pottle
by several traits of Boswell’s char-
acter. He was a collector, an an-
tiquarian, and, like most people,
wished to be remembered. -
Distances between helixes can Boswell’s most remarkable trait,
Gly- however, was his joie de vivre; in
cine is the only amino acid which Mr. Pottle’s words, “he enjoyed
could produce this structure, and, enjoying having a good time”. It
on analysis, glycine is 50% of the was this which made his impres-
amino acids present.
sions and bits of recorded conver-
sation so vivid and delightful to
read, even today, when the London
Journal of two hundred years ago
is rivalling ‘Kon-Tiki’ on the best-
seller list.
Boswell’s ambition was toxkeep
a “great confessional journal”,
which would cover every day of his
life; he succeeded only in writing
fragments, but enough to make a
good-size novel.
A remarkable facility for man-
aging to.meet famous people and,
more important to us, for writing
letters to them which got answer-
ed, enabled Boswell to record a
great deal of interesting material
about most of his’ famous contem-
poraries.
His.original conception of the
Life of Johnson was a biography
in the form of ‘scenes.’ It was’
written rather like a play, even
down to ‘stage directions’.
Mr. Pottle refuted the popular
belief that Boswell was not a great
writer because he merely took
down what other people said, con-
tending that it took tremendous
imagination and clarity of intellect
to absorb, edit, and communicate
so vividly.
by Catharine Stimpson, ’58
Dr. Rhys Carpenter, retiring
Bryn Mawr profesor of classical
archaeology, met me in his library
office, a room filled with the evi-
dence of forty years of scholar-
ship.
I found that Dr. Carpenter be-
came classical archaelogist and
Bryn Mawr instructor at the same
time, as a direct result of M. Ca-
rey Thomas.
“ I was all set to teach Greek
at Barnard,” he said, “when a week
before I was to begin in Septem-
ber, 1917, I received a telegram
from M. Carey Thomas, telling me
that she wanted to meet me and
would I come to Bryn Méwr for an
interview .. . Of course, I accept-
ed.”
Miss Thomas told him that she
wanted him to tea¢h classical arch-
aeology. “She had a tremendous
reliance on her intuitive ability to
judge people,” he noted. When he
mentioned hig Barnard contract;
Miss Thomas said that since it
was a beginner’s position, it could
easily ‘be filled by another. Per--
suaded, Dr. Carpenter was grant-
ed a release by Barnard.
But in 1917 Dr. Carpenter was
not an archaeologist and he had
never studied archaeology as such.
“I was a literary man,” he said.
“Of course, I had just spent a year
in Greece, and I had received a
classical training at Columbia and
Oxford. I was given only one lec-
ture course at first, but still I
worked like a trooper for’ those
first years.”
When I expressed amazement at
his change in career, he only said,
“Hard work and a reasonably good
mind will take you almost any-
where.”
Of M. Carey Thomas, he said,
“She was a phenomenal woman
She made this school, you
know. The stamp she put on it is
still here . . . Perhaps, following
the national trend, Bryn Mawr has
grown more practical, but it still
kept the character that she gave
it.?”
Sculptural Evolution
I asked Dr. Carpenter what he
considered his most memorable
achievement. Noting that his the-
ory on the relationship between
climate and civilization had not
yet been proven, Dr. Carpenter
answered, “I suppose it is my study
of how sculptural style has really
evolved.” .
Art-sculpture is an enormous
force which is greater than indi-
vidual styles or men. Art, as a
force, exists independent of single
civilizations, and the evolution of
sculptural style has been similar
in each civilization. In Europe,
the evolutionary processes were
completed in the nineteenth cen-
tury, and modern sculpture is a
“desperate attempt” to establish
another pattern.
Describing his other work, Dr.
Carpenter called the “Seated Box-y
er’, a famous bronze sculpture of
a boxer, “the measure of me.” His
work on this statue was reported
on the front page of the New York
Times.
Sculptors of Roman times did
not usually sign their names to
their work.. However, one famous
statue now in the Vatican bore the
name of its creator itt large letters
on its pedestal. Similarities in the
backs of the “Seated Boxer” and
the Vatican statue led Dr. Carpen-
ter to believe that they had been
made by the same man, and that
his signature was probably oh the
“Seated Boxer”, too.
The hands of the boxer were
wearing the leather gloves of Ro-
man times, and Dr. Carpenter con-
cluded that the gloves would be
the only place upon which the

sculptor’s name couid be found,
since the original pedestal had
disappeared. After about two days,
of search, he discovered the uni-
que signature on a small section of.
the gloves, the same signature as
that of the Vatican statue.
Another piece. of archaeological
work which, he said, had b
ported prominently in the Times
was his discovery of a Greek town
on the eastern coast of Spain. His
first clue that such a sight might
+ exist was the name “Lookout”, and
from this first idea, the piecing
together of other names and facts

Al-
though the site is as yet undug, he
remarked, “the Spaniards will get

Dr. Carpenter defined his arch-
aelogical interests as lying in such
fields as the evolution of sculpture
styles. “Digging is fascinating,”
he said, “but tedious.” When I
wondered if there were. more places
such as Lookout, waiting to be dis-
