Farewell Lecture

By R. Carpenter,

Writes “Footnotes To Forty Years”

by Paula Dunaway, 58
On May 6, Mr. Rhys Carpenter
spoke in Goodhart Hall at 8:30 on
“Footnotes to Forty Years”. Miss
McBride’s introduction was _ infor-
mally titled “Headlines to Forty
Years”, a caption which seems

been previously thought, but local
imitations.

The second and most exciting
discovery was the site of the first
Greek colony in Spain, which Mr,
Carpenter found at a point in
Southern Spain near Valencia. His

more appropriate for an outline ofjaccount of this was particularly

Mr. Carpenter’s distinguished ca-
reer than the modest ‘Footnotes’.
__ Mr. Carpenter’s taik,.a delightful
mixture of rather rueful professor-
ial reminiscences and fascinating,
deceptively modest accounts of
milestones in the field of archaeol-
ogy, began with an amusing ac-
count of the rise and fall of an ob-
tuse cult called “dynamic sym-
metry’.

This heresy was based on the
theory that all Greek pottery was
constructed along elaborate geo-
metrical principles—thus an am-
phora which could not be analyzed
by square roots had to be ignored
as a freak, the work of some un-
fortunate Greek artist in an ‘un-
dynamic moment’, Mr. Carpenter’s
comment: “It must have been hell
to be a potter in those days.” Mr.
Carpenter, it seems, was in part
responsible for the downfall of the!
heresy.

The next Carpenter milestone
was the first of a series of Bryn
Mawr monographs, published in
format roughly resembling a pray-
erbook. Mr. Carpenter’s ‘prayer-
book’ was “The Aesthetic Basis of
Greek Art”, a distinguished work
which has since become something
of a collector’s item. i

In 1922 Mr. Carpenter went to
Spain, where he made several im-
portant discoveries, The first was
to prove that certain Iberian pot-

interesting.

‘More proof of Greek influence
in Europe were the “Herzsprung
Shields”, different only in U and
V-shaped notches in their decora-
tion. The V-type was identified as
Mediterranean, the U-type as Eur-
opean; both were found in Ireland,
indicating that one had arrived
there from Europe, the other from
Greece, via Spain.

In 1927 Mr. Carpenter went to

ae discovered the artist’s signature
on an ancient bronze boxer. This
discovery has not been contested,
Mr. Carpenter explained, because
no one has yet been able to find the
inscription in the first place!

After becoming a “Professor in
Jharge” at the Academy, Mr. Car-
penter went to the American
School of Classical Studies at Ath-
ens, where he worked for five
years. While he was there he es-
tablished to his own ‘satisfaction,
and later to that of the archaeo-
logical world, that the Nike Para-
pet on the Acropolis was not done
in 407 B.C., as was supposed, but
rather in 420 B.C.

These are only a few of Mr. Car-
penter’s achievements in the field
of archaeology, in which he has de-
servedly become one of the world’s
most distinguished figures. But
equally important have been his
contributions to education, espec-



sherds were not Mycenaean, as had

‘ially here at Bryn Mawr.



‘Enjoyable Concert’

Given By H’ford,

BMC; Program Includes Elgar, Bach

By Suzanne Jones, ’57

At the May 5 Orchestra concert
one was thankfully aware of rela-
tively little need to “make allow-
ances” for a possible want of vir-
tuosity and probable want of re-
hearsal time on the part of the Or-
chestra: members. The main thing
was not that “praise was due,” but
that it was an enjoyable concert.

The program opened with the
overture from Paisiello’s “La Scuf-
fiara,” a comical little piece which
was performed with all necessary
aplomb — (including some aero
spots for the violins).

The Lullaby from Richa’
ian’s “Gayne Ballet” was compe-
tently performed from a technical
standpoint but sounded rather un-
inspired. It seemed “boring” in
places in a way that can be laid at
the door of the composer himself,
but might still-have-been offset to}
some degree in performance.

The first of Bach’s Brandenburg
Concertos is one of the hardest of
them all for an orchestra to get
across to an audience. To bring
out both the separateness and the
interrelation of its voices and to
show the uncanny unity of it along
with its tremendous harmonic and.
melodic diversity is difficult. Per-
fection was not to be expected, but
the attempt, especially in the first

two movements, was praiseworthy.
As one member of the audience put

Sort of glad they did!”

ments were weakened in spots by
the wind section, the solo horns,
played by Harrison Raper and Wil-
liam Carragan of Haverford, were
outstandingly good. _

The highlight of the program,
was. the Elgar Violoncello Concer-'
to, with Jerome Goodman as guest
soloist. Seldom performed, this
concerto has little of the ornamen-
tal colorfulness of Elgar’s better-
known Violin Concerto. It is the
embodiment of the proverbial “still
waters” that run deep, and it is to
the credit of soloist and orchestra
that the waters were not skimmed
}over but plumbed to those depths.

The first movement was not
quite up to the others, and’the or-
chestra often seemed not to be
with the soloist — in spirit more
}+than-in- any fault of following the
notes. The second movement, how-
ever, was of a high quality which
was maintained to the end. The
condensed feeling of the piece was
powerfully brought out both in the
orchestra and in the solo part.

The cellist was applauded long
and loudly. Goodman’s sensitivity
and sureness of technique would be

studénts and are made doubly re-
markable by the fact that he com-
bines his musical studies with a

Cast Of Four Gives Memorable

Performance Of

By Epsey Cooke, ’5

The climax of the Bryn Mawr-
Haverford theater season arrived
with the production of Tennessee
Williams’ The Giass Menagerie.
And a grand climax it was, for
cast and production staff cooperat-
ed to give the audience a memora-
ple evening, and future productions
something to live up to.

Williams’ play contains only
tour characters, each of whom is a
distinct personality struggling to
find something in life and to cap-
ture the sympathy of the audience.
For the sheer hugeness of their
parts, all four actors must be com-
plimented for their performances.

The “Best Actor’ award must
go, however, to Berkeley Harris,
who, as Tom Wingfield, had the
double role of narrator and son of
the house. It was he who set the

‘tone for the play and, more than
' anyone else, created the

moods
which he wished to.

The scene in which he argues
with his mother and then stalks
out to the movies was charged with
powerful emotion and was the best
single incident of the play.

Although Berkeley made a few
slips in his lines as narrator, his
last speech, in which the whole fu-
tility of the Wingfield’s situation is
brought out, was so forcefully de-
livered that the audience was al-
most spellbound.

Linda Levitt’s presentation of
mother Amanda Wingfield, with
her obsession about “gentlemen
callers” and her warped view of
life, was also excellent. She man-
aged her-role as a nagging tyrant
and scheming mother quite skill-
fully, not allowing her part to drag
or become too oppressive.

Caryl Sharlow, as Laura Wing-
field, the daughter, was not quite
so convincing. Her shyness seemed
genuine, but her acting lacked

Williams’ Play

some of the necessary emotional
depth. Perhaps it is for this rea-
son that the long scene in which*
she is alone with the gentleman
caller seemed to drag a little.

Jim O’Conner, the gentleman
caller, played by Sam Bishop, was
a loud, brash, unfeeling, “stumble-
John” sort of fellow. Although it
is necessary for the part, one
sometimes felt that the loudness
was a bit overdone. .

At only one point is Jim really
supposed to understand Laura —
from the place at which he says,
“You know something, Laura... .”
until he kisses her—and Sam han-
dled the transition of mood nicely,
giving the speech with great sin-
cerity.

Concerning the technical end of
the production, the set contributed
immensely to the success of the
play. The run-down sitting room,
the cluttered alley with the dance
hall across the way, the high brick
walls all around, created an appro-
priate “down-and-out” atmosphere.
Here was the narrow, dull world
of the Wingfields, from which they
all longed to escape.

The lighting was also most ef-
fective in creating the proper at-
mosphere — the dark alley, the
harsh glare from the dance hall
window, the gloom of the sitting
room, the light which went on
around Mr. Wingfield’s picture
whenever his name was mentioned.

Likewise important in producing
the feeling of the “now and the
past” time element was the back-
ground music, which was present
throughout most of the play.

The Glass Menagerie is not easy
to produce, from either the acting
or the technical point of. view, but
Director Marvin Stephens and all



who worked under him were equal
to the task. It is to be hoped that
College Theater can continue to
give productions of this calibre.



Pacifism Almost

A Necessity

Says; Quaker Clarence Dickett

“For the first time in history
pacifism becomes almost a _ neces-
sity,” said Clarence E. Pickett,
honorary secretary of the Ameri-
can Friends Service Committee. He
spoke on “Quaker Thought and
Activities in International Affairs”
at the Alliance Assembly in Good-
hart on May 3.

The problem is “finding a way to
live internationally without vio-
lence or ceasing to have existence
on this planet.” Representing the
Quaker view, Mr. Pickett said,
“We are, of course, fanatics for
peace.”

Quaker. activities on the interna-
tional scene have taken three
forms: aid to people who need it
as a result of crop failure or war
a summer session where diplomats
from various countries can discuss
their national policies without hav-
ing to defend them, and participa-
tion in the U.N.

The Quaker view “that we can-

not participate in war” is accom-

panied by a deep concern for those
who suffer because of it.
Relief work “is done because it

we want to use politica] influence,”
he said. This policy “tends to es-
tablish a certain respect for deeds
done on their own merit.”

As a result, both Arabs and
Jews have been concerned to see
whether the people who took an in-
terest in Jewish refugees from
Germany and Arab refugees from
the recent conflict might have
some solution for the settlement of
the long dispute.

At a recent summer session, the
widow of the prime minister of
Pakistan, inspired by a session of
the Moral Rearmament movement,
gave a ten minute speech which
said, “It would be a good idea for
diplomats to tell the truth.” This
furnished the beginning of the
most profitable discussion on the
moral and ethical implications of
being a diplomat.

Looking Backward

Near the end of any one chapter of a person’s life there
comes a time‘for reminiscing, for looking back, reviewing
and evaluating.- So it is as the close of the 1954-55 academic
year draws near. The space is too limited to list all the high-
lights but there are three most important events which:do
stand out in our minds: Thanksgiving vacation, Christmas
vacation, and Spring vacation.

A girl can become very different in the course of one
year. Asa Bryn Mawr College student she is expected to be-
come “emotionally, mature”; exposure to new ideas is sup-
posed to teach her how to think, to form mature opinions of
her own. She is interested in doing individual, independent
research. The truth of this last statement will be demonstrat-
ed if one will only look any sunny May afternoon at the stu-
dents sitting on the lawn, and take the proportion of seniors
to freshmen.

One of the nicest things about college is the people you
meet. No one will ever forget those late “bull sessions”, just
sitting around for hours exchanging ideas. College is the
* place where many girls form life-long friendships. Some
people make such an impression that they are never forgot-
ten. There is Jack, for instance, who took you to the prom,
or that midshipman who has invited you for June Week.

No survey of the school year would be complete without
mentioning the faculty who have contributed so much to-
wards its success. We have learned a lot about our profes-
sors this year. They are generous for they gave us Faculty
Show; they are considerate for they gave us extensions on
our philosophy papers. They are lovers of nature for they
take us outside for classes. And now they are giving us finals.

The average student has attended about twelve lectures
a week and spent some time in lab. She has read several
books, worked problems and pounded on a typewriter. And
\what does she have to show for it? Eight notebooks, two
red folders containing fifteen pages each, some underlined
books, three hand-knit sweaters, five pairs of argyles, and
a pink stole.

Bryn Mawr’s success story of the
year is that of Donnie Brown. On
her way to philosophy class on
Friday, May 7, Donnie received a
telegram telling her that she had
won the Mademoiselle fiction con-
test with her short story, Car’line.

Donnie’s first reaction to the
news was, “Well, I guess I’ll pass
Creative Writing for the year.”
Needless to say, she remembers
little of the ensuing discussion on

_..-Kant~and~his~metaphysic~ of ~mor-|
als

The ambsing part of the whole
thing is that most of Car’line was
written at odd moments during
“philosophy lectures. In this case
the installment method definitely
paid off. *

On the deadline date Donnie was
still typing her short story until
ten o’clock at night. The envelope
had to be postmarked by midnight,
and the mail had already been pick-
ed up for the evening.

Someone going out on a date
obligingly took the story down to
the post office, where an equally





dn 2d to get the!

tire future career depended upon
it.

To complete the whole fantastic
story, a certain young man prom-
ised Donnie a magnum of cham-
pagne if she won the contest.
What more appropriate way could
they find to celebrate?

Car’line will appear in the Aug-
ust issue of Mademoiselle, as well
as in the spring issue of Counter-
point. Donnie’s picture and a short

Letters to

the Editor



@ndergrad “Surveys College Medical Faculties
And Attributes Complaints to ‘“‘Misconceptions”’

Wear Editor:

It has been brought to our atten-
tion that there have been an in-
creasing number of complaints and
rumors about the college infirmary.
Consequently, we recently inquired
into infirmary facilities, and we
think that .the following — facts
should be. brought out.

On the basis of a recent survey,

| Bryn Mawr was shown to have the

pest infirmary facilities in the Sev-
en College Conference. Moreover,
the infirmary has access to the
Bryn Mawr hospital and maintains
a list of reputable specialists for
-onsultation. :

The ffifirmary, which is always
open except for Christmas and

*|summer vacations, has 14 student

beds: for ordinary cases and four
beds for contagious cases. Only

Paine, in ‘Warm Region’
Declares Former Deism

To-the Editor of the College News:

To this pleasantly warm region
where I dwell (with many delight-
ful companions) news has been
brought of a letter allegedly by my
old compatriot Benjamin Franklin.
I need not say whether the latter
is in fact in a region different from
my own, for positive proof that the
letter was not in fact from Frank-
lin lies in the statement contained
therein that I-was a professed athe-
ist. and he not, whereas actually
we were both Deists, as he and I
were each well aware, though he
was more moderate, especially in
his later life, in his criticisms of
what he called “corrupting chang-
es” in the philosophy of Jesus.

In the same letter, it is hinted,
in the ambiguous language rather
typical, I fear, of modern intellec-
tuals, that the “Christianity” of
Washington, Adams, and Jefferson,
the other worthy members of the
symposium, was somewhat unor-
thodox. It was indeed unorthodox;
Washington, though he attended
the Episcopal church, was a Deist,
as was Jefferson. Adams was a
Unitarian, as was his son, John
Quincy. None of them was shock-
ed by my views (though perhaps a
little by my aggressiveness), and
certainly none of them would have
said, as Mr. Eisenhower did in the
fall of 1952, “It takes no brains to
be an atheist.”

Cordially yours,
Thomas Paine
