Verner W. Crane, Franklin Expert,
Discusses Early Political, Writings

Speaking to a large group of
dedicated scholars, more than half
of them. adults, who had braved
the Bryn Mawr Drizzle and con-
fusions- of the new Biology Build-
ing, Dr. Verner W. Crane of the
University of Michigan delivered
the annual Mallory Whiting Web-
ster Lecture on Monday, Oct. 27.

Dr. Crane, rated as one of the
foremost - experts on Benjamin
Franklin, gave the interest of
basic - information - plus - tidbits
to his topic, “Benjamin Franklin

Eighteenth Century.” He began by
pointing out that Franklin, who
wrote reams of copy for news-
papers both in England and in
America, was the chief advocate of
the Colonies, abroad, in the 1760’s
and ’70’s. Being the most adroit
and experienced of America’s
voices abroad, Franklin accom-
plished much in London journals
with his satirical commentaries on
political and economic policies of
his own country and others.

Newspapers Were Cockpit

Dr. Crane was quick to explain
that there is no modern equivalent
of the role which newspapers
played in politics in the eighteenth
century. They provided an open
forum—‘“a cockpit for political
sparring,” as one of Franklin’s
contemporaries remarked — for
political essays and columns of
opinion on the events of the times.
The newspapers which carried
such debate were not political or-
gans as we today would be tempted
to suspect, but carried these opin-
ionated. articles because they
aroused ypublic opinion and thus
sold copies.

No: Firm Editorial Policy .

There was little firm editorial
policy, and the same paper. would
in most cases be willing to carry
articles of opposing opinion. Ac-
cording. to Mr, Crane, Franklin
himself complained of his own
essays being. changed by the edi-
tors-only once, and that piece was
later reprinted in full. Partisans
in the political battles that raged
at the time complained of bias on
the part of the journals, but in
actuality there were no Whig or
Tory publications until the time
just preceding the revolution itself.
The joufnals were for the most
part impartial and served a neces-
sary function: .“Printers provided
the battleground, and writers were
the skirmishers,” a publisher-
friend of Franklin’s was supposed
to have said.

Influence Won Success

Other men before Franklin, said

Dr. Crane, had made use of Eng-)},

lish newspapers for political ex-
pression, but Franklin himself was
quite successful dye to his tremen-
dous influence in }American jour-
nalism and his many acquaintances
among the printers in London, He
was usually granted speedy publi-
_cation of his essays and often was
awarded the lead article in the
paper.

One of his. associates, a man
named Strong, who was of particu-
lar assistance in introducing
Franklin to influential people and
speaking well of him among men
of the trade, remainéd friends’
with Franklin until almost the
time of actual war between their
respective countries, pe their

greater and greater variance.

As Dr. Crane noted, Franklin
accomplished much by satire. As
the essayist himself once re-
marked, “I used all the smooth
words I could muster, and when
I oor weary of it I became
saucy.”

By 1774 Franklin firmly believed
that military arrogance was dan-
gerous, but became more strongly

Alumnae Present

A. Jambor Recital

Saturday evening, November Ist,
at 8:30 p.m., Mme. Agi Jambor of
the Bryn Mawr music department
will give a piano recital as a part
of the Alumnae Weekend. Her
program will consist of “The
‘Goldberg’ Variations” by Johann
Sebastian Bach and “Fantasia for
the Piano” by Robert Schumann.

“The ‘Goldberg’ Variations” first
published in 1742 are believed to
have been composed at the instiga-
tion of Count Kaiserling, the for-
mer Russian ambassador to the
court of Saxony. He mentioned at
one time to Bach that he would
like to have some clavier pieces
for Johann Gottlieb Goldberg to
play for him at night. The Count
made this request because he often
suffered from insomnia and sought
something to brighten his sleep-
less nights. ‘

The history of. Schumann's SFan-
tasia” is somewhat obscure. It is
believed that the ‘first movement
was. composed during the summer
of 1886 when Schumann was sep-
arated from the woman he wanted
to marry, because of her father’s
opposition. Later, he wrote the
other two movements: the second,
a triumphal march, which is be-
lieved to have been composed when
the marriage defying her father
was decided upon; and the third
“Sternenkranz” (Crown of Stars).

Students and faculty are cor-
dially invited by the Alumnae As-
sociation to the program. They
may obtain tickets at the Office of
Public Information on the second
floor of Taylor Hall.

Miss G. Leighton
Speaks On U.N.

“The United Nations can’t solve
all the world’s problems in one
sweeping gesture but its very ex-
istence is a hopeful thing,” declar-
ed Miss Gertrude Leighton of the
political science department in cur-
rent events Monday night. Her
topic of discussion was the United
Nations and World Crisis,

Miss Leighton approached the
role of the U.N. in three functions
of. expectation, first in the false
impressions of what it will db,
second what the U.N. can’t do and
third what it can and does do.|:

What expectations.do peopl
have that are invalid? ‘Its best
friend is its greatest enemy in a
sense. We expect momentous re-
sults from the U.N. that we would
never expect from our own legis-
lature. Miss Leighton also brought
out that we are nervous over too
much Sticcess in this. international
body.

One must look realistically - at
the U.N. and see the basic differ-
ence between its workings and that
of democratic legislation.
U.N. there is no genuine tolerance
of opposition. One nation would
as soon annihilate the other as come
to an agreement as demonstrated
by the relationship between the
U.A.R. and Israel.

A shift of power in the General
Assembly has changed the capa-
bilities of the assembly to an ex-

tent. There is no faction strong
enough-to-have-control of the two-
thirds majority but also the west-
ern powers can not always be as-
sured of the even more important
one-third minority vote.

As an administrative body one
can’t expect efficiency because of
lack of available personnel and
lack of funds.“It is astonishing to
see how much has been done,” stat-
ed the speaker:

“What can we expect from the
United Nations?” asked Miss
Leighton. In the field of foreign
policy the U.N. is useful, It re-
lieves tension and saves face, It

action usually not too drastic. It
provides the instrumentalities for
social, economic and political im-
provement. Communications and

education are much strengthened.
And finally, “we can expect the
United Nations to be a curb on
‘the-forceful_use_of naked power,”
concluded Miss Leighton. The U.N.

Authoress Welty
Will Visit BMC:
Holds Fellowship

Eudora Welty, the author of
Delta Wedding and The Ponder
ffeart and the recipient of the
Lucy Martin Donnelly fellowship
tor this year, will arrive here on
November 8 for a two-week visit.
During this time she will stay in
the Deanery and hold informal of-
fice hours in order that she may
meet with interested students and
be available for criticizing manu-
scripts.

Miss Welty, a native of Missis-
sippi, published her first volume
of short stories in 1941 and her
most recent one in 1955. She is
known chiefly as a regional writer,
as many of her stories have their
setting in Mississippi. According
to Miss Bettina Linn of the Eng-
lish Department, Miss Welty has
an ear for dialogue and excep-
tional “talent with language.”

The Lucy Martin Donnelly fel-
lowship is given in memory‘ of
Miss. Donnelly, a former head of
the English Department, to an
American. woman writer. Previous
recipients of the fellowship have
been Elizabeth Bishop, May Sarton
and Elizabeth Bowen.

Haverford Marks
125th Anniversary

Prominent among the events in
celebration of the 125th. anniver-
sary of the founding of Haverford
College was the Convocation on the
Birthday of the College held Tues-
day, October 25 in the Field House.
Elizabeth Gray’ Vining, noted
author, and Dr. Henry Pitney Van
Dusen, president of Union Theolog-
ical Seminary, gave the principal
addresses. President Borton of
Haverford, acting for the college,
conferred honorary degrees upon
Mrs, Vining and Dr. Levi Arnold
Post, Haverford professor emeri-
tus of Greek.

Awarding Elizabeth Gray Vining
an honorary Doctorate of Humane
Letters, President Borton cited
the author a “sensitive and pene-
trating biographer” of one of the,
College’s alumni. Presenting Dr.
Post with a similar degree, Dr.
Borton noted the “solidarity and
originality” of his scholarship, ano
said, “You have ben a Socratic
gadflyto-your college and stud-
ents.”

The Convocation was only one
in a series of programs centering
around the birthdate of the Col-
lege. Frank Morley, editor and
author opened the celebration with
a lecture, “Christopher Morley as
Man and Writer’, October 19.
With reference to the occasion of
his lecture, Mr.. Morley spoke es-
pecially on what Haverford meant
as community and college to
Christopher Morley before he
moved with his family from the
area at the age of eleven.

Second in the series was the
Alumni Homecoming Birthday Par-
ty, Saturday, October 25. Dean P.
Lockwood, professor of Latin, em-
eritus, Haverford College, and
President Borton addressed the
alumni.

ish historian, will lecture on “The

125 Years...

“Those who have kept up an acquaintance with education-
al literature and conventions have for years heard the doom
of a small college frequently pronounced. There is no logical
place for it in the system . .. The practical Americans have
no use for formal culture or discipline. All institutions which
do not adapt themselves to modern demands will soon disap-
pear.” Fifty years.ago Isaac Sharpless, president of Haver-
ford College, used these words to’ describe’ the criticism a
small liberal arts college often receives. | es

This year Haverford celebrated its one hundred and
twenty-fifth anniversary. Like other small colleges, it has
had to resist the “lure of expansion” and to defend its posi-
tion in the American educational system. It has been and



still is confronted with criticism similar to that which it re- :

ceived fifty years ago. Pressure has come from. forces out-
side the college urging it to expand its size, its curriculum,
and to lower its academic standards. Criticism has come

from within the college itself suggesting a curriculum that:

will meet the “modern demands” of “practical Americans.”
Like all colleges, Haverford has benefited and continues to
benefit from such criticism. . In addition, however, ‘it'-has
avoided yielding too much to the demands of external forces.
Retaining its high academic standards and the ideal of the
small college, Haverford College offers proof that there is a
place, and an important one, for such an institution in the
educational system of America today.

The Curriculum of My Vita, or
My Purpose, a condensation of an
application for a Halfbright
Award, by Mawrta Inert, LIX.
__You have asked me for a narra-
tive statement dealing with my

personal history, intellectual inter-
ests, not a mere record of facts,

I feel that I must approach this
‘problem objectively, and because
I have been told that my person-
ality had received its definite
stamp before I reached the age of
two, I can best represent myself
by a discussion of this significant
period. Although my recollections
might not be entirely trustworthy,
I have a dairy, composed in Greek
and Latin, to refresh my memory.

Unlike most children I never
suffered from being dropped, step-
ped on or kicked, and thus was able
to enjoy a normal childhood, free
from those feelings of insecurity
which have plagued so many of
my friends. At the age of one I
was somewhat socially backward
and occupied much of my time in
reading, instead of indulging in
merry games with my peers. Thus
my intellectual tendencies were
formed, and my deep love of soli-
tude and scholarship.

In my second year I was some-
what gregarious, although I shall
always regard this as a secondary
part of my character. My popu-
larity was aided by my athletic
prowess, as I was a much sought
after member .of the hoop team.

The languages which I learned
at that time have been of great
use to me ever since, as I passed
my Greek and Latin orals as a sub-
freshman, but here we see evi-
dence of the truth of my original
vremise; I was never able to
learn any other language. Inci-
dentally, I. am applying for my
fellowship at the University of

For my consideration of the
Bryn Mawr girl as a part of the
Bryn Mawr Culture of the 1920’s,
the college proper delineated the
boundaries for my laboratory ob-
servation. Therefore I can only
analyze that Bryn Mawrter in
terms of her activities on campus

titudes in society at large. I es-
pecially had no way of ascertain-
ing what these girls did in their

graduates I talked to emphasized
the fact that they went off campus
for all their social activities with
men. While in many a smoke-
dense speakeasy “the saxaphone
wailed and the gin flask went its
rounds and the dancers made their
treadmill circuit,” Bryn Mawr
sophomores gave their annual
dance for the freshmen, and they
all demurely. danced ‘with one an-

of 1928 that a tea dance in Rocke-
feller initiated the radical prece-

comitant features of the educat-
ed mind were visible in the aver-
age Bryn Mawr girl’s approach to
the 1920’s. In terms of attitudes
she was rebelling along with every-
one else, but her: rebellion was
strictly within the limits of the
active intellect. Before beginning
the analysis of these attitudes it
must be reiterated that the decade
does not constitute a homogeneous
block of time. Some of the atti-
tudes moved steadily in one direc-
tion throughout the period but oth-
ers underwent’a noticeable change
around the middle of the decade.
When I looked at my notes on
the College News in perspective
and studied my records ofthe in-
terviews with Bryn Mawr gradu-
ates of different years, I realized
that the period 1918-1924 was dif-
ferent in some ways from the
years 1924-1928. Up until 1924
the girls seemed to take much more
pride in their personal appearance.

(President Borton, in his remarks
to the Convocation, stated that
while other events surrounding the

of the College in the realms of in-
tellectual and scientific activity,

phasis.

Rufus Jones, who was perhaps
the outstanding Quaker leader and
apologist of mysticism during ehe
first half of this century, was also

a professor of philosophy and re-
ligion at Haverford College for
many years. Among his major
concerns was education, that-would
aim not merely at the acquisition
of facts, but at the “creation of a
spiritual personality” as well.

Mrs, Vining also spoke of the
influence Rufus Jones had had on
the college and its students, not
only as a professor, but as a main
strength of the 5th day Meeting,
as an author and in personal con-
tact with the students. “He was
a man who made goodness vivid
and intellectually respectable,”
Mrs. Vining said.

“Re-thinking Religion and Edu-
cation was the title of Dr. Henry
Van Dusen’s address to the Convo-
cation. In treating of the relation-
ship, often uneasy, between educa-
tion and religion, he said that
these two great branches of hu-
man searching. have a “common al-
legiance to a single sovereign
truth”,

In the beginning of American ed-
ucation, Dr. Van Dusen noted, the
institutions of higher learning
were founded to provide intelligent
leadership for the governnient, and
a literate ministry. During the
19th century, denominations took
over the business of establishing
colleges, usually small liberal arts
instifutions. Up until the turn of
the century, religion played a very
important role in education, mir-
roring its place in daily life.
twentieth century, however, intro-
duced’ revolution. The vast and
fundamental changes in education-
al coneept and practice were char-
acterized by these factors: multi-
plication of population and people
wishing to go to college. of knowl-
edge, and even of the branches of
knowledge; specialization, “so es-....
sential to scholarly advance, so'
stunting to large-mindedness”; and
progressive secularization, reflect-
ing-again-the progressive _secular-
ization of American life. The cu-
mulative effect has been to rele-
gate religion to the position of a
“minor elective’ in education.

Dr. Van Dusen suggested that
very_recently this_trend—.began--to-
be reversed. Higher education,
he thinks, is beginning to empha-
size the organic nature of truth,
the coherence of knowledge, rath-
er than its diversity.

While Bryn Mawrters were
busy swinging lanterns and spout-

in colleges nearby were busy with
their own endeavors.

At the University of Pennsyl-
vania, the students held-a carnival
as reported in the October 20th

“The emotional status of the
University will now be tranquil
because all the frustration to kill

Wesleyan Undergrads Mark Papers

At Wesleyan a _ turn-about oc-
curred; the undergrads will do
some paper grading this year as
reported in the October 21st issue
of The Wesleyan Argus.

“The reason for such action was
the fact that a graduate student,
contracted to grade the papers of
the 80 some students, left school
shortly after classes began.
Schorske ~(Professor) therefore
searched for another solution.

“The professor added that al-
though he will not be reading the
_papers he will consider the com-
ments and will confer with Lev-
erich and Stricklen (the boys who
are doing the grading) on any
problems entailed.

“ . . it should not make any
difference who was the grader as
long as he is intimately familiar
with the subject.”

Harvard Defeats Radcliffe Hockey

On the lighter side, it was re-
ported in the October 21st issue
of The Swarthmore Phoenix that
“The Radcliffe hockey team suf-
fered defeat at the hands of one
of* Harvard’s dorms: Rated the
best team in the country, the girls
were still overwhelmed by the
boys’ speed and lack of conven-
tional tactics, although they had
the edge in skills.”

quirements, and other areas of
academic life not covered by the
academic honor system in an at-
tempt to bring about the most
effective program.

The committee can make posi-
tive suggestions to the correspond-
ing Faculty Curriculum Commit-
tee, and more often than_ not,
these suggestions have led to
action on the issue involved. With-
in the scope of the committee are
the requirements, the oral system,
specific courses as well as depart-
ments, and problems of counsel-
ing for the freshmen and sopho-
mores, ale)

If anyone ever has any questions
or problems of an academic nature,
she is encouraged to go and to
speak with any of the members
of the committee. She will be happy

|to help you or suggest someone

to whom you could go for informa-
tion. The members each represent
one department, elected by those
majoring in that department.
There are also two members from
the Junior and Sophomore classes,
and two will be elected from the
Freshman class.

If problems of an important
nature arise, these should be
brought. to the attention of one of
the-members~-who will bring it up
in a meeting, for this committee
does exist for the benefit of the
student. Being a clearing house
for student opinion, it leads to a

Gilbert Describes
Election Of Pope

_ Appropriately, in the interim be-
tween the death of Pope Pius XII
and the beginning of the conclave
of the College of Cardinals, Mr.
Gilbert of the History Department
spoke on the Papacy. This address
was given Thursday evening, Oc-
tober 23, in the Common Room.

The first part of Mr. Gilbert’s
lecture gave a historical sketch
of the development of the papal
election. sa

The announcement of the new
Pope climaxes a ceremony which
began to assume its present shape
in the. Middle Ages. 1059 marked
the first fundamental decree per-
taining to the election of the Pope,
this being that the election should
be strictly in the hands of the car-
dinals: cardinal bishops, cardinal
deacons, and cardinal priests. At
this time most of these men were
in or near Rome, hence the “car-
dinal” or “hinge of the door,’ i.e.
close to the door of St. Peter’s.

In 1179 the next big move to-
ward today’s strictly bound pro-
ceedings was made when a decree
was published to the effect that a
2/8 majority was necessary for a
cardinal to claim the election. This
decree helped to lessen the wrang-
ling which characterized the elec-
tion. In 1274 came the decision
that the election should be in sec-
ret, that the cardinals be closed
in and allowed no contact with the
outside world. This tended to es-
tablish the length of the present
conclave; previously it had begun
with lengthy banqueting, and
might last for as long as three
years. Fundamentally, nothing has
been changed since then, although
the number of cardinals hag been
established at not more than sev-
enty, of which six are to be car-
dinal bishops, fifty cardinal priests,

‘and fourteen cardinal deacons.

The reasons for the closed con-
claves were and are of a political
nature; the Church wished to avoid
the pressure of all outside influ-
ence. The priests of the diocese
of Rome meant to exclude the Ro-
man nobility, and to halt interfer-
ence by the political rulers of Eu-
rope; until 1187 the Pope ruled a
church state of vast extent.

Today, because the church no
longer controls politically much
land or many people, political
questions are of least importance
in the election of a Pope. From
this point of view the secrecy
of the conclave is less _ neces-
sary; however, political con-
siderations are not entirely dead.
Following the death of Leo XIII,
che Emperor Franz Joseph of Aus-
tria vetoed the election of a car-
dinal, whereupon the next Pope,
Pius X, abolished the right to veto
by a political ruler.

During the election of Pius XII,

members of the Italian govern-|

ment spoke against Cardinal Pa-
celli as Pope; on his subsequent
election his detractors backed
down and said that their reason
for denouncing Pacelli had been
to arouse greater interest in him
and thereby
Sour grapes, perhaps? In any
event, the Italian government had
its own particular interests in cer-
tain candidates.

Dr. Gilbert then got down to
brass tacks: “I suppose that. now
you want me to predict who will
be the next Pope?” The possibili-
ties with regard to the candidate
present a difficult. choice: “He who
enters the conclave Pope comes
out Cardinal.” Theoretically, any
Catholic can be elected Pope. One
need not be chosen from the Sacred
College. This question assumes sig-
nificance in this election; Montini,

Professor Lewis Finds Brun Mawr

by Lois Potter

.The cold, misty day correspond-
ed to an American’s idea of Eng-
lish weather, but Professor Hywel
D. Lewis, who comes to Bryn
Mawr’s__ philosophy department
from the University of London,

found Pennsylvania quite differ-
ent from his native climate. “You
have more variety, more sudden
changes. And then, it’s so hot in-
side. It makes one less alert and
lively. Most English apartments
don’t fhave central heating, you
know. Ours did, but we only used
it when it was absolutely neces-
sary, along with the fireplace. And
that’s what I rather miss here—a
sparkling fire in the center of the
house.”

Professor Lewis found it pleas-
ant to be on a small self-contained
campus again, after three years
of teaching history and philosophy
of religion at the University of
London, with its 27,000 students.
“One of the advantages is that
my wife can go to lectures, and
she enjoys them very much.” He
was particularly delighted with
the familiar look of Bryn Mawr’s
“English Gothic” architecture, and
the bright colors of the autumn
trees. At London the _ faculty
lived as far as 30 miles or more
from the University, and the stu-
dent hostels were also scattered.
“It’s harder to make friends
there; you can’t just drop in on
somebody, because he may live

fifty miles away from you. The

even.”

Less Awe of Professors

As to Bryn Mawr students, Pro-
fessor Lewis described them as
bright and well trained. “In Brit-
ish universities, people specialize
a bit earlier, so that you know the
individual more quickly. We make
a sharp distinction between those
taking a ‘pass course’ and those
taking an. ‘honors course.’ Here
you have all types of students in
one class. I- find this quite stimu-
lating.”

The famous Bryn Mawr. apathy
did not seem to have struck Pro-
fessor Lewis, who found his stu-
dents somewhat more willing to
talk than their English counter-
parts, “fa little less awed by the
professor, perhaps. This may be
because I have more consecutive
periods of lecturing here—in Lon-
don I gave one lecture a week in
each course, and didn’t encourage -
talk, because I wanted all the
available time myself. We supple-
mented the lectures with seminars.
But I think class discussion igs a
good idea. Some of the questions
asked in my Philosophy of Re-
ligion course have made me think
very hard about some things.”

Welsh Native Feels. at Home

Before going to London, Profes- .
sor. Lewis, who is a native of
Wales, taught there at University
College in Bangor, a small college
with its own campus, “though we
don’t have that word in England.”
He found Bryn Mawr somewhat
reminiscent of Bangor and added,
“All the Welsh names around here
make one feel quite at home. I
wonder what those early Welsh
settlers were like. Hope to look
into it a bit later on.”

GILBERT ON PAPACY
Continued from Page 3, Col. 2

position, although no non-Cardinal
has become Pope in 700 years. Dr.
Gilbert felt personally that the
Cardinals would not move against
this long tradition by electinc
Archbishop Montini.

Another issue prominent in this
election is the question of the elec-
tion of a non-Italian; for the first
time in four hundred years there
is a majority of non-Italian Cardi-
nals in the College. “It is quite
clear that no» American will be
elected.” Dr. Gilbert felt that the

‘College will elect no-one with such
strong political ties. Also disfavor-
ing the election of a°non-Italian
#ope are the immediate practical
problems. The Vatican is in Rome
and the Pope must be equipped to
wmandie daily concerns and Italian
atfairs. The best possibility seems
co be the Armenian Cardinal,
Gregory Peter XV Cardinal Aga-
gianian, who has lived in Rome;
put here the possibility is small.

in searching for indications. as
to who might be the next Pope,
one must look for a historical pat-
cern. In the 19th century such a
pattern is evident. A Pope with
definite tendencies is often fol-
towed by someone who represents
an opposite emphasis, The papacy
is an absolute monarchy, thus this
cyclical succession represents
about the only way to have a vari-
ation in church policy. Pius IX was
opposed to modern’ trends—he
stood against rationalism and sci-
entific advance. His successor, Leo
XII was the most liberal of the
modern Popes. Following, Pius X
was a primarily religious figure.
Benedict XV, his successor, was
one of the church’s most elegant
diplomats. This pattern of succes-
sion affords a primary. reason for
the fact that Vatican secretaries
of State have never (except in one
case) succeeded to the papacy;
vheir policies will be too much like
those of their predecessor.

The position of Pius XII is diffi-
cult to analyze according to these
conclusions. His election marked
che one time a secretary of state
did become Pope. One reason for
vhis may: have been the time of
nis election. Europe was on the
verge of World War II and a
change of policy at such a time
was not considered wise. Pius XII
was elected as a diplomatic Pope,
but he was also a great religious
personality.

Pius XII is often praised for his
fight against Communism, but this
seemed unimportant to Dr. Gilbert
—‘A Pope must be against Com-
munism, the way he is against
sin.” More important seems his
internationalization of the church.
Pius XII was strongy concerned
with modernizing the church, and
utilizing the communications with
large numbers of people available
via newspapers, movies, etcetera.
His policies along this line helped
greatly to strengthen his office.

Pius XII worked equally hard
against the watering-down of
church doctrine which might at-
tend the liberalizing of views with
regard to rationalism and science.
His pronouncements on theological
questions paralleled traditional
Thomasin, and, notably, proclaimed
the dogma of the bodily ascension
of Mary.

To accomplish his aims, Pius XII
found it~ necessary to centralize
the church more than the Curia
cardinals. would have liked. He had

no secretary of state, and the fact'

shat the present conclave wishes
the next Pope to have one was
signified by. their recent. setting
aside of the rooms of the former
secretary of state.

Of the possibilities for the elec-
tion, the Archbishops of Venice
and Naples are old; and the Arch-
bishop of Genoa, Siri, is too

which meant being messy as a mat-
ter of principle. Numerous editor-
ials on the subject in the College
News, such as the one which moan-
ed, “Is there no cleanly soul in the
College?”, protested this develop-
ment, but girls continued to run
their new hose deliberately in or-
der to mix with the creme de la
creme who preferred to be “shod-
dily clad.” I was unable to dis-
cover any underlying motivation
for this; it was evidently simply-a
college fad:

Campus Interest. Shifts

Furthermore, during the first
part of the decade, when the stu-
dent rarely ever left the campus,
there was a great deal of interest
in campus activities and things
“collegiate”; but by 1925 a definite
anti-collegiate attitude had devel-
oped. This is best expressed by
an editorial in the College News
(March, 1925), which states:

“We seem to be emerging
from the great collegiate per-
iod . . , Class undertakings are

disappearing; interest in tthe
routine business of the Campus
is waning ... This is due, large-
ly, we believe, to more wisdom.”
Social Service and Women’s Rights

There was, moreover, a high
point of interest in social service
around and following the establish-
ment of the Summer School for
Women Workers in Industry. This
unusual interest continued up
through 1924, when Bryn Mawr
girls were still attending bi-weekly
meetings of industrial and college
girls to discuss trade unions,
strikes, ..workers’.. education, equal
rights, and working class ideals.
But as activity of this kind lost
some of its more radical nature,
interest paled slightly, and by the
Spring of 1926 the possibility of
abolishing the campus social serv-
ice organization was discussed, as
it was not “proving valuable to
either the students or the centers.”
(College News, 1926.)

First Post-Suffrage Election
There also appeared to be a high

point of~political interest around’

the time of the Harding Cox elec-
tion, the - first election after the
granting of the suffrage. (Inci-
dentally, the present political loy-
alties of the student body as op-
posed to the faculty were formed
by them, with Harding decisively
carrying the student mock, vote
and Cox sweeping the ranks of
the faculty). But after the tragic
“unveiling” of the man they had
so ardently supported (“You are
on the right track, Warren; go
ahead!” proclaimed the College
News of March 2, 1921), they
seemd to lose an active interest in
political affairs. During, the first
part of the period the Bryn Mawr



BRYN MAWR IN 1920°S

Liberal Club took a tremendous
interest in national and interna-
tional matters. This is best illus-
trated by their concern over the
Washington Arms Conference. A
disarmament mass meeting was
held at the college, and two hun-
dred dollars were donated to a fund
to finance disarmament propagan-
da. Several months later the Bryn
Mawr Resolutions were drafted:

“Resolved, that the conference
does not adjourn until it has sev-
erally discussed and acted upon
the following questions: 1) Shan-
tung, 2) Manchuria, 3) Siberia;
and that the twenty-one de-
mands, as a possible cause of
war, be also discussed.” (College
News, 1922).

Disarmament League

A Bryn Mawr girl was elected
regional chairman of the Eastern
Student Disarmament League, and
on February 22, 1922, she went to
Washington to submit the Bryn
Mawr Resolutions to President
Harding. Bryn Mawr took an act-
ive part in the National Student
Forum, an organization which at-
tempted to conduct an open-mind-
ed inquiry into the problems of
the day through speakers’ bureaus,
a press service for college news-
papers, and student conferences.
The Liberal Club was especially
quick to endorse the action of the
Clark College students, who revolt-
ed against their administration be-

cause the Clark President inter-
rupted a speech, being addressed
to them by Scott Nearing, on the
grounds that.it/was “unsafe” for
them to hear any more. “The
right to ideas is theirs,” cried the
College News (1922). An. indica-
tion of their political foresight
is furnished by the following ed-
itorial published on March 12,
1924:

“To. the placid tourist, all’s
right with Italy . . . Business-
men express themselves optim-
istically . .. Still we, the reac-
tionary minority, hesitate ...
Before voicing sentimental opin-
ions on the subject of Fascism

. read a few back numbers of

the New Republic and the North _ ;

American. It is a hazardous
opinion at best that the nobility
of the end justifies the means.
(College News, 1924).
Liberal Club Disbanded
But near the end of 1924 the Lib-
eral Club found that its average
attendance had dwindled to only
fifteen, and it began to content it-
self more and more with “research
and sociology.” It completely dis-
solved soon afterwards, and was
never effectively revived as far
as I could tell.

Verner Crane Discusses Franklin

satirical himself, occasionally be-
ing accused of having hindered the
Colonial. cause with hig sharp
words, for he. was not afraid to
attack any person or idea that
seemed- wrong to him, But he par-
tially defended himself, saying,
“National reflections are general,
and therefore just.”

Dr. Crane pointed out that from
1765-1775 the greater part of
Franklin’s essays were defensive
in nature—defensive against false
information about America which
was current abroad, against accu-
sations which had been leveled
against the Colonies during the
Stamp Act trouble, and against
the general céntempt which was
, held for America and things Amer-
iean, in Europe. He was most firm
in defending America’s attitude
of risking everything rather than
be over-run by a country with op-
posing views to its own. Here he
was on dangerous ground, but com-
promise did not seem to be part
of Franklin’s constitution, for even
on such delicate subjects Franklin
had this to say about his political
opponents: “They are mistaken,
but it is their misfortune, not their
fault.” He claimed that those who
held opinions least like his own
had been convinced of their atti-
tude by the many, not by seeing
the truth.



said more of American views than
of his own. He was known to say,
“These are their notions — they
may be erring,” but at the same
time he was the great editor and
interpreter of American views in
his time, declaring them in the

strong terms that only a master
Jof language can control..He com-

plained that in England he was
accused of being too American,
and in America too English, but
this difficulty seems hardly to have
deterred him

Of course there were many
others writing political essays at
the time of Franklin, but as Dr.
Crane pointed out, the custom of
writing anonymously, which was
a custom highly respected in
those days, made it difficult to pin
them down, Franklin himself used
as many as 40 different signatures

gested that one of his main mo-
tives for doing this was to create
the impression that there was a
host of influential American po-
litical writers. Actually, the pseu-
donym practice caused quite a
number of complications, since
Franklin himself was often as-
sumed to have authored articles
which were not his and thus was

Pennsylvania 'R.R.
Gave Town Name

Had the college we are now
attending been founded prior to

-| 1858, it would have borne the in-

teresting, if a bit less picturesque,
iname of Humphreysville College.
However, thanks to the. Pennsyl-
vania Railroad we all attend Bryn
Mawr College.

This sounds a bit like a peculiar
riddle? The answer lies in the his-
tory of the town of Bryn Mawr
itself. When first permanently set-

.jtled in 1697 by Rowland Evans,

the town was called Humphreys-
ville and his particular plantation,
Bryn Mawr. The local railroad sta-
tion was called Whitehall after the
old Whitehall hotel located nearby.
In the year 1858, the name Bryn
Mawr was chosen to include the
whole town when the Pennsylvania
Railroad undertook to develop the

town as a fashionable summer re-
sort and exclusive residential area.
This year marks the one hun-
dredth anniversary of its naming.

‘Weecha. wished to sisems that

“further things” were planned for

and so was amended to “hikes,”

The members of Bryn Mawr’s
Varsity and j.v. hockey , teams
were mutually enthusiastic about
their respective games against
Swarthmore (away), yesterday
afternoon, despite the fact that
the Varsity tied its. game: at \1-1,
and the j.v.’s were edged out, 2-1.

.-Enthusiasm in. the absence. of
victory is not common, -but_ the’
root of it lay in the fact that
both games were exceptionally
well played, and even the referees,
who are not usually verbose, were:
heard to say that this was the
best game they had seen Bryn
Mawr play in many years. Both:
games. were described by team
members as “spirited” despite the
less than spirited weather.

For the Varsity, the lone tally:
came
after Swarthmore had made its
goal. “We were so mad.” said
Weech Buse, “there just wasn’t
any choice but that we’d make it
when we came charging down the
field.” Edie Murphy scored the one
goal, but the main feature of the.
game seemed to have been the

scored the one goal. ae

There are now two remaining
games for the hockey team, both
at home on the next two Tuesdays
with Chestnut Hill and Rosemont.
Miss Schmidt, coach of the teams,
says, “I’m not saying we will win
them, you understand, but I really
can’t see any reason why we
shouldn’t.”
