Kathy Ehlers Explores
Possible Uses
Of Gift

“Pregnant with significance”,
said May Queen Kathy Ehlers de-
scribing the ceremony of May Day.
Comparing it with the same day
in other countries, notably Rus-
sia, she hinted that the Bryn
Mawrter might feel like the pro-
letariat, but the analogy could go
no further.

The “one ray of hope” on the
horizon is the bequest recently
given by Anastasia Snodgrass,
who had fortunately been persuad-
ed to leave her millions to Bryn
Mawr instead of to her husband's
college, a little known place in

central New Jersey. Another gift+

had been the squirrel neck piece

given Miss McBride and fashioned

from the pelts of squirrels shot

Fleming Will Speak
On New Antibiotics

Sir Alexander Fleming, world
renowned scientist, discoverer of
penicillin, will be the guest lectur-
er of the Committee on Coordina-
tion of Sciences and the Bryn Mawr
College Chapter of Sigma Xi on
Wednesday, May 6, when he speaks
in Goodhart Hall at 8:30 on “The
Search for Antibiotics”. ‘When it
was discovered that he would be in
this vicinity to visit Miss Eleanor
Bliss, Dean of the Graduate School,
Bryn Mawr scientists quickly seiz-
ed the opportunity to ask Sir Al-
exander to speak here. Thus the
college will be privileged to listen
to the great scientist who has done
so much to alleviate human suffer-
ing.

Born in 1881 in the Ayrshire
hills in southwestern Scotland,
Professor Fleming, after a prelim-
inary education in the country,
went to London for further study,
and finally entered St. Mary’s Hos-
pital in Paddington, where he won

Raymond Klibansky |i

Relates Philosophy
To Present Times

On Monday evening, April 27,
Gocodhart was the scene of the
Theodore and Grace A. Delaguna
Lecture. The speaker — Raymond
Klibansky. The topic—THE PHIL-
OSOPHY OF NICHOLAS OF
CUSA.

The fifteenth century contained
a movement of spiritual rebirth. It
was Nicholas of Cusa, one of the
great mediaeval churchmen, who
heralded this spiritual renaissance
and served as an important link in
speculation between the Middle
Ages and Modern Times.

The central problem of Cusanus’
philosophy was that of liberty.
Since the Church’s adaptation of
the Augustinian doctrine that the
human will is the basis of evil and
that man can obtain Grace not by
his own efforts but only by the free
gift of God, “the painful tension
between Grace and Free Will never
ceased to agitate European

Dramatists Choose

‘Duchess Of Malfwv

The Duchess of Malfi by John
Webster will be the next play pre-
sented by the Bryn Mawr-Haver-
ford Drama Club. It will be di-
rected by J. N. Smith, and the set-
ting and costumes are by Fritz
Janschka. The cast will include
Doris Kaiser, Fred Jameson, J. N,
Smith, Bill Packard, David Har-
per, Ellie Small, Dina Bikerman,
Arnold McKay, Charlotte Busse,
Gerry Goodman, and John Haw-
kins.

The action of the play is in

Italy during the sixteenth century.

The actual plot concerns the wrath
of the Duke and Ferdinand Bos-
ola, brothers of the Duchess, over
her secret marriage to Antonio.
They plan a psychological revenge.
The deeper plot of the play, how-
ever, does not deal with individ-
ual character problems but is a
critique of an era. The unity of
the play depends on the poetic and
dramatic structure; therefore the
overall unity of the scenes in
terms of symbolic action is more
important than individual charac-
ter representations. It deals not
so much in metaphysical imagery
as it does in social and legal terms.

Mawr League. Sports take up
some of her time, as she is a mem-
ber of the (thus far) winning Bryn
Mawr tennis team which will play
in the Intercollegiate matches here
on Saturday.

Phil has just become head of
the Library Council. She also

Hans Kohn Speaks
Of German Future
As Urgent Problem

“Twice in the twentieth century
great wars were fought about this
issue: Germany’s future in Europe.
How can we, or can we even, in-
tegrate Germany into Europe so
as not to tace a German-European
conflict ?”” questioned Hans Kohn,
tourth Alliance speaker, in Good-
nart on April 23.

“As it was wrong to forget in

/ 14938 and 1939 the Russian prob-

.em, so it might be wrong today to
Lorget the German problem in face
of the Russian one. Both are sim-
ilar and are to be dealt with sim-
larly.”

Mr. Kohn declared that the sit-
uation in Germany is better today
than ever before in the twentieth
century as evidenced by the will-
ing attitude of present German
historians to reevaluate’ modern
German history and to discover
how and where this history devi-

Two Colleges Unite
As Concert Chorus

The Spring Concert by the Bryn
Mawr College Chorus and the
Princeton University Glee (Club
was a thoughtfully varied. pro-
gram. The Princeton selections,
especially Stravinsky’s Four Peas-
ant Songs, contrasted well with
the religious compositions offered
by Bryn Mawr, including Gwynn
Williams’ Ora pro nobis — well-
chosen and beautifully sung.

The évVening’s climax was the
joint presentation of the ‘Masque’



from Dioclesian by Henry Purcell,
highlighted by the exquisite duet
by sopranos Mary Lee Culver and
Ronnie Gottlieb (“Oh, the sweet
delights of love’), the drinking
song by Chorus and Trio (“I’m
here with my jolly, jolly crew”),
tender dialogue between shepherd
and shepherdess (“Tell me why”),
and Air by tenor Raymond Fitz-
immons and Chorus (“All our
days and our nights’).

Directors Robert Goodale and Carl
Weinrich, as well as the Bryn
Mawr Club of Philadelphia, de.
serve special praise for making the



occasion possible.

Thank You

Our parents are contributing more than we realize to our
college educations. Besides the tuition fees and the costs of
room and board, books, and the various other expenses of a
college career, they have also contributed generously in ans-
wer to the college’s appeal for funds.

This appeal began a year ago, and the report of April 15,
1958 listed a total of $17,095.81 collected. “Because the funds
are for unrestricted use, they help to meet the difference be-
tween rising costs and income from endowment. They are
badly needed for salaries, books, general expenses, and most
of all, for scholarships. Because tuition fees and room and
board have gone up since last year, the cost of scholarships is
naturally greater. The college wishes to offer the same num-
ber of scholarships, if not more; and in order to do this, funds
are badly needed. The money which our parents have con-
tributed is providing valuable assistance in carrying out the
college’s hopes.

It is apparent from their generous help that our parents
are aware of the problems of financing an independent col-
lege today, and we should be grateful to them for their con-
tributions. aig

Many parents have undoubtedly sacrificed a great deal in
order to answer the appeal. The pressures of the high cost
of living, as well as contribtuions to charity, have not stopped
them. This is certainly praiseworthy. Our parents deserve
a sincere vote of thanks.

Welcome

The College News is very pleased to welcome the parents
of undergraduates to our first Bryn Mawr College Parents’
Day. We sincerely hope that our parents will enjoy this new
experience as much as the college has enjoyed preparing for
it and will enjoy receiving them. Among the many events of
the day will be President McBride’s tea, campus tours, ath-
leties, and sessions with the various departments of study.







These have all been carefully planned for our parents’ enjoy-
ment. We hope that this Parents’ Day will show our appre-.

Current Events

Miss Angeline Lograsso
Explains Christian
Democracy

Principles of Christian Democ-
racy was the major theme of the
Current Events Meeting on Mon-
day, April 27 when Miss Ange-
line Lograsso spoke on “Personal
Experience with Christian Demo-
erats.”

“I think people either don’t un-
derstand or are afraid of Chris-
tian Democracy,” said Miss Lo-
grasso. She then described the
movement’s basic concepts as stat-
ed in a panel discussion organized
by the Christian Democratic Union
of Central Europe.

are by nature reform: parties,
fighting for the betterment of so-
ciety on the basis of the social
doctrine of the Church, but with-
out seeking its official support,”
said Professor Lima, director of
Lthe Cultural Department of the
Pan-American Union. This policy
leaves a path open for Catholics
to belong to the political parties of
their choice (whether Monarchist,
Liberal, Republican, etc) and also
provides for cooperation between
Catholic and non-Catholics whose
political ideas are similar. The
necessity for Protestants and
Catholics to work together was
especially emphasized.

Pluralistic Conception

Another important principle is
the pluralistic conception of life.
Dr. Duchacek of Czechoslovakia
said, “Every practical step or de-
cision is always examined under
the light of this basic principle;
‘Is this or the other political de-

cision for or against the human
person living within a social
framework from which he cannot
be detached.’” . The movement is
therefore against any form of to-
talitarianism because it implies
putting the state above the indi-
vidual.

Economically, “leaving material
discrepancies” is the basic policy.
This is typified by the agrarian re-
forms in Italy: Where possible,
these were carried out with the
cooperation of the landowners who
were reimbursed for their land.
The principle of fair distribution
also extends to the exchange of
raw materials between nations.

International Cooperation

International cooperation should
be coupled with recognition of the
rights of individual nations. Miss
Lograsso said that Christian Dem-
ocrats are in favor of reuniting
Korea and abolishing the veto in
the U.N. In addition, Dr. Paks-
tas of Duquesne Univ. said that

the need of integrating Europe,
particularly Central Europe into
federated units.” ;
These are the goals of the
Christian Democratic party where
it exists and of the movement
which is found in even more coun-
tries. The panel discussion includ-

Brazil, Latvia, Czechoslovakia,
Lithuania, Poland and _ Slovenia
(Yugoslavia).

Prize, open to Seniors only,

Mr. Farmer Reviews Welfare State
Outiining Accomplishments And Goas

Mr. James Farmer, Student Field
Secretary of the League for Indus-'
trial Democracy, reviewed “The
Welfare State—Whose Welfare?”
at.an Alliance Assembly Tuesday
nignt, April 28. Outlining the
realistic accomplishments and the
ideal goals of the welfare state,
Mr. Farmer indicated several areas
where welfare measures have not
been carried out.

The development of the welfare
state, a phrase which became pop-
ular before the 1948 campaign crit-
1cizing the New Veal, has attempt-

ed Lo make the technological prog-

masses of people under the assump-
u.0n that the government is respon-



ing presents the problem of a large

"group of migratory laborers who

are not included in social security
or unemployment compensations.
In the South, land reforms are
badly needed for old plantations
on the verge of collapse. The lands
could be put to better use if the
public purchased them and allowed
individual workers to own the land
they cultivated after a certain per-
iod of work.

“One-third of the citizens of the
United States are’ ill-clothed, ill-
fed, and ill-housed,” but the solu-
tion of the problem does not lie in
centralized governmental control
of the factors of production. In
transferring strong monopoly pow-
er from private to public owner-

ip, de-centralized control is ad-
visable to avoid an all-powerful

air, Harmer feared the possibility
or tne welfare state becoming a
business welfare state, with big
vusiless exercising a strong poli-
tical influence, as in the offshere
oil case. Even though labor was
not-able to execute plans for ex-
tended social security, FEPC, fed-
eral health insurance, and other
programs, they at least had the
sympathetic ear of the adminis-
tration until last November. Health
insurance in Britain is a plan
which both the Conservative and
Labor parties support. Most Amer-
icans oppose federal health insur-
ance because they object to paying
for sometning they may not use,
yet the majority of our population
cannot afford serious illness. The
United States is the only country
in the world that has no federal va-
lidity insurance, and Canada is the
Only other country which has no

You stand on the library steps
at night, smoking~a cigarette, tak-
ing a break from that semester
paper which magically has turned
out to be on a subject you love.
You are brooding on this, with a
warm grateful feeling toward the
professor, who gave harried you
an extension with words so kind
that you floated away from his 5 of-
fice: You look out toward Taylor,
to the dark tower in the spring sky,
that ridiculous tower which does
not seem ridiculous to you, and
which represents so much. (Once,
before you came, in the days when
the tower was accessible, friends
of yours stood in the highest win-
dow and saw a bomber fly across
the full moon)~

You wonder why you feel so
peaceful, with three papers sitill
ahead of you. Somebody walks
past you into the library and you
watch the wedge of light on the
walk disappear as the door slides
shut. You pull on your cigarette,
and, looking about you, see the
trees more clearly than if it were
day, in your mind’s eye—the trees
whose flowering you have learned
to watch for over the years. You
are glad that they do not all blos-
som at once. Already the cherries
are gone, except for the black-

the library. The magnolia is fall-
ing, but there is a lovely pink tree
in the Cloister which hasn’t yet
burst its buds, and you are still
waiting for the little dogwood on
Taylor green to give out its white
blossoms. There is much to wait
for, much to remember, much to
do. Turning your mind toward an-
other time and another place, you
slowly open the library door.



By and large, the leaders of or-
ganized labor are conservative in
an economic sense, but they have
accomplished good work in political
and social education. Labor has
learned that workers in this coun-
try do not vote as workers. Since
there is no labor class-conscious-
ness, labor leaders have found that
they cannot tell workers how to
vote, but can only analyze issues
for them,

Either a political realignment or
a third party is necessary to con-
tinue the development of the wel-
fare state. A third party is un-
likely, but a party realignment, on
the other hand, is very likely. With
a division between liberals and
conservatives, Americans would
develop greater political responsi-
bility and maturity because they
would be forced to vote for princi-
ples rather than personalities,

Because the United States is the
leading world power, it is import-
ant that we develop the social and
idealogical progress in which we
have lagged behind the rest of the
world, If we are respected as such,
we must become leaders idealogic-
ally as well as financially.

Alumna To Donate
Nobel Prize Medal

Miss Emily Greene Balch, a
member of the Bryn Mawr gradu-
ating class of 1889, and co-winner
of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1946,
has presented her Nobel medal to
the college. An ardent worker for
world peace and for social reforms,
Miss Balch received her medal and
prize for her activities in the

| founding and organization of the

Women’s International League for
Peace and Freedom, of which she

ultimately became President.

While at Bryn Mawr,-Miss Balch
was president of the Self-Govern-
ment Association, started, inci-
dentally, by her class, and re-
ceived the first European fellow-
ship granted by this college. She
has published several books on
social problems, and was very ac-
tive in the work aimed at World
Peace after the First World War.
She also held a professorship in
the Economics department of Wel-
lesley College for several years.
The Women’s International League
for Peace and Freedom was; how-
ever, the result of her greatest
effort, and devotion.

The medal will be displayed in
the Rare Book Room as part of
an exhibit of gifts presented to
the college. The exhibit will be in
place this week in time for Par-
ents’ Day.

Letters from
Abroad

One of the student newspapers
in Paris, the Tala Sorbonne, re-
cently warned its readers: “Watch
out, the days go by quickly, quick-
ly and it is hard to regain lost
time.” to penetrate every fibre of the
Sorbonne. This urgency is inher-
ited from the past, but is greatly
intensified by present conditions.
{t is often silent, seen only in tired,
intense faces. Sometimes it is
vociferous.

In seven hundred years, ever
since its foundation by Robert de
Sorbon in 1253, the University of
Paris has been gathering and re-
sowing human knowlege. It has
four chief Facultes — Letters, Sci-
ences, Law and Medicine — and
over 65 thousand students. Lured
by fine professors and by the pres-
tige of a great, cosmopolitan city,
students come from all over the
world. Classrooms and living quar-
tersare badly crowded.

Competition

In all subjects, competition is
ifierce. The librariés are so full
that to get a seat one has to line
up outside before the doors are
opened. Individual attention is the
exception, not the rule, Each stu-
dent works on his own, reading,
going to classes, and examining
the official copies of old notes. It
usually takes four years to get a
degree,’ or licence—one year of
general culture and three years of

who wish to specialize further can
go on to the very difficult agrega-
tion, involving ‘eight - hour - long
exams, and can later write a thesis
for their doctorat. :

There is little time for relaxa-
tion. Sports are virtually non-ex-
istent. Last year less than 4% of
the students took part in athletics.
A commission has been formed to
better conditions, but it is gen-
erally felt that no one will be much
interested by the sight of a bas-
ketball.

Excess Energy

Excess energy has what it con-
siders more interesting outlets.
There is always something to do
and, more important, something to
say.

The region of the Sorbonne is
riddled with movies about sex and
outer space. On a more serious
plane, students can get special re-
ductions on theater and concert
tickets: some of the best perform-
ances of Bach this winter could be
heard for approximately 14 cents.

Special events are legion. Notices
appear continually on obscure bul-
letin boards, announcing costume
balls, quartet performances, visit-
ing lecturers. and even early Ital-
ian plays. There may also be, as
in December, an invitation to join
the mass demonstration against
increased prices in government-
subsidized student restaurants.

Students at the Sorbonne have
strong opinions, on all subjects. In
the cafes and brasseries, serious
discussion starts as early as nine
in the morning and goes on until
at least four the following morn-
ing. Dressed often in baggy camel-
colored coats which fasten with
wooden pegs, and wearing bulky
shoes, those with time to spare use
a cup of hot chocolate or a glass
of beer as an excuse to consider
love and politics for several hours.
To accompany longer talks, the
Brasserie Lip offers a colossal
glass of beer known as a Serieux.

And then there are the student
newspapers. Three of the most
interesting, to me, are the Com-
munist L’Avant Garde, the Extern-
ist Soulevement de la Jeunesse,
and the Catholic Tala Sorbonne.
Most students have nothing to do
with any of these papers, or in
fact with any papers at all ex-

work in a particular field. Those]

Karl Darrow, from the Beil
Telephone Laboratories, spoke to
the Science Club Wednesday eve-
ning, April 22, in Dalton Hall, on
the subject of “Electrons in Sol-
ids’. Mr. Darrow’s subject did not
include ionic conduction or hole
conduction, but merely electronic
conauction in metals and semi-
conductors.

Kiectrons in solids form an elec-
tron atmosphere where they travel
in tree paths in the absence of an
electric neid. When a field is ap-
pled the electron atmosphere be-
comes an electron wind, travelling
at a uniform rate. The effect of
the electric field is to bend eiec-
trons in the direction of the eld.
‘ne electrons derive energy frem
the field between collisions.

According to experimental data,

resistance of the solid varies pro-
portionately as the absolute tem-
perature, and the ratio of the mean
Iree path of the electron to the
average speed of thermal agita-
tion varies inversely as the tem-
perature. The classical guess be-
tore 1925 was that the mean free
path is independent of tempera-
ture and that the average speed
of thermal agitation is proportion-
al to the square root of the tem-
perature, according to the Max-
well-Boltzmann distribution. These
two dependences do not give the
desired dependence on tempera-
ture, so a different explanation
‘was sought.
’ The second guess, which turned
out to be the correct one as far
as is known. today, was that the
mean free path is inversely pro-
portional to the temperature and
that the speed of thermal agita-
tion is independent of temperature.
Atoms of a crystal lattice struc-
ture are considered obstacles to
wave motion through the crystal.
If the waves enter at wave length
lambda and the obstacles are sep-
arated by a distance a, then 1
lambda is less than a diffraction
occurs, while if lambda is greater
than a the waves go straight
through without diffraction.

Thus if atoms in the lattice were
perfectly regular there would be
no resistance. Actually atoms of
the lattice vibrate with thermal
agitation and the hotter they be-
come the less perfect the lattice is.
Here then, the second guess is
right and the obstacles are the vi-
brations of the atoms.

Bryn Maur Thesis
Wins Smith Award

Announcement has been made of
The Student Research Award won
by the thesis submitted by the De-
partment of Social Economy at
Bryn Mawr. This is the second
consecutive year in which’ a Bryn
Mawr thesis has won the prize,
which is sponsored by the Smith
College School of Social Work.

The award this year was made
to the student submitting the best
example of student research com-
pleted in 1952. It includes a one
hundred dollar prize, with the pro-
vision that the work be published,
in October 1953, in the.Smith Col-
lege Studies on Social Work. |

The winning project was the
work, for her M.S.S, thesis, of Mrs.
Sally L. Wessel, who is now on the
staff of the Jewish Family Service
of Philadelphia. The ‘title is “A







Study of the Results of the Use of

the Hunt Movement Scale at the



‘Family Service of Philadelphia.”

Karl Darrow of Bell Telephone Speaks
To The Science Club About Electronics

Thus, resistance in metals is due
to thermal disorder, and if there
is an impurity, then extra resist-
ance may be due to the disorder ..
ot the impurity. If a metal with
some other element mixed in
sparsely is examined, it will have
an additional resistance due to im-
purity. The resistance is due. to
disorderly arrangement of atoms
of two or more kinds.

In semi-conductors, where the
electrons are less numerous, the
Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution
holds, i.e. the mean path is in-
versely proportional to the abso-
lute temperature while the aver-
age speed of thermal agitation is
proportional to the square root vt
ue absolute temperature,

Mr. Darrow then went: on to
speak of the loosenability of elec-
trons, explaining the number of
free electrons per unit volume in
metals, where this number is in-
dependent of the temperature, and
in \semiconductors where the num-
bet increases with the tempera-
ture. There are two categories of
loosenable electrons; the first, elec-
trons come from the impurities
and are easily loosenable, while the
other group comes from the sub-
stance itself,

He also explained the tendency
for electrons to go from an elec-
tion rich substance to an electron
poor substance up to a certam
point when the law of diminish-
ing returns set in. The point is
reached because the electron ricn
substance gains a positive charge
after loosing some of its electrons
and then attracts the electrons
back, before they have a chance to
distribute themselves uniformly.
Mr. Darrow explained about the
workings of a junction of two
metals, when the metals are at
different temperatures, and the
spontaneous current which flows
when a battery is inserted, to re-
duce the potential difference to

Among the many ideas for the
use OL this money, the need for
centralization was stressed by
some, the possible building of a
“small-scale pentagon” to house
tne executive offices. The Library
could purchase an unexpurgated
copy of Lady Chatterley’s Lover or
the original manuscript of Mickey
Spillane’s Vengeance Is Mine for

for a new wing on the infirmary

of sophomore slump, paper depres-

control and not by door-slamming

stitute of Microbiology.

Professor Fleming worked with
Wright on vacciné therapy, then
studied the problem of septic
wounds, which became extremely
important during the first world
‘war when sepsis caused tremen-
dous suffering among the wound-
ed. In 1922, he discovered lyso-
zyme, a substance found in mater-
ial like tears and mucus, which is
an antibiotic, chiefly of laboratory
.mportance since it affects mon-
pathogenic microbes.

In 1928 he discovered penicillin,
an antibacterial substance which
Ahibits some of the common path-
ogenic microbes, kills the microbes,
nduces lytic action and is non-
oxic to leucocytes. Fleming was
convinced of its value as a thera-
peutic agent, but penicillin was
very unstable and it was not until
about ten years after this discov-
ery that chemists succeeded in pre-
paring stable penicillin. Then pen-
icillin was finally recognized for
the remarkable antibiotic it is, and
honors were thrust upon its discov-
erer.

In 1943 Professor Fleming was
elected Fellow of the Royal Soci-
ety; in 1944 he was knighted, and

publications do catch something of
the emotional atmosphere at the

death of ‘Stalin. The high black
headlines cried “IMMORTAL

young, Socialists, Christian, join
in. the same distress.” A few days
later, there were new pledges of
devotion to Malenkov, and. old
pledges of peaceful intentions.

Communist Party

In general, the-Communist Party
in France is less popular now than
it was a few years ago, and much
less powerful than it was just at
the end of the war when, in a near
coup d’etat, it temporarily took
over 16 of the 20 administrative
districts (arrondissements) in
Paris. The well-liked ex-leader of
the French Communists, Maurice
Thorez, has just returned in a
weakened state after two years of
medical treatment in Russia. His
successor, Jacques Duclos, is less
of a public figure. Anti-Commun-
ist propaganda takes advantage of
the situation very wittily, through
the organization known as Paix et
Liberte. However, the Communists’
own propaganda “has a kind of
heavyweight effectiveness. At the
moment stress is on the similar-
ity between Communist and Chris-
tian doctrines. The big Party

Lyon and Paris, the Communists
are on the make. And in the Na-
tional Assembly, they are numer-
ically the second strongest of six
major parties. The question is by
no means closed.

Oddly different. from the Com-
munist positiveness, is the grumb-
ling and screaming vagueness of
Externism. It is one of the small,
furious movements which appar-
ently crop up yearly on the Left
Bank, usually leaving no trace
when they disappear. Externists
describe themselves thus: “We be-
long to none of the present na-
tional or international parties,
therefore ‘extern’. Extern means
‘outside’ — thrown away’—in the
impossibility of being heard, there-
fore of protesting. Extern to all
resources—to all paid work—ex-
tern to the place for which “one
was prepared’”.. In this stacatto
style, the Soulevement de la Jeun-
esse explains its position. It ap-
pears that the externs are those
who are either trapped in schools
where they are gathering pointless
information or else trapped in
positions where their skills are not
being used. They are against the
exploitation of youth, and for
“knowledge, the infinite, the Fu-
ture”. They wish to reform not
only the Sorbonne but all second-
ary education in France. The ex-
terns are opposed to the interns,
who have pleasant, established
jobs.

sible.

Externism is not world-shaking.
It does show, in an extreme form,
the feeling of uneasy uselessness
that many students may feel, be-
cause they are overworked and be-
cause they look towards a future
which is economically very unsure.

Externism lies in a no-man’s

mising camps of Communism and
Catholicism. The Catholic stu-

dents of the Sorbonne, and par-

members of the Cenire Richelieu,
are very active. Their monthly
newspaper, which discusses the
problems of Christianity in day to
day student life, is called Tala Sor-
bonne. (Tala is a nickname for
Catholics, those who “vonT A LA
messe—go to Mass”). In one re-
cent issue, the theme is work. The
tone is matter of fact. “The ori-
entation of our work towards: God
is not an affair of sentiment, but
of faith and deliberate charity.”
However, flashes of exaltation are

‘permitted: “To him who raises his

eyes above earthly perspectives,
human activity is no longer the
hopeless effort of Sisyphus push-

him, but a work of love and joy.”

Upon Free Will Doctrine

thought.”

Cusanus deviated from this by
putting complete emphasis upon
Free Will as the means to salva-
tion. He declared that man,
through his own choice, has the
ability to increase or decrease the
Grace which God would bestow

upon him. Mr. Klibansky quoted:
“-The free will which Thou hast
given me enables me to possess
myself, if my will should so de-
sive. If I fail to posses myself, 1
cannot possess Thee.’ ”

The basis for this concept of lib-
erty is two-fold: liberty is depend-
ent upon the ever-increasing prob-
ability for accuracy in man’s judg-
ment through a knowledge of sci-
ence, and it is dependent upon
Cusanus’ doctrine of infinity.

The infinite God created the unk
verse as a finite portrait of Him-
self. Since a finite creation cannot
express the essence of infinite na-
ture, “a plurality of beings is nec-
essary to convey an idea of in-
finite perfection”. If it is the aim
of every individual to reflect as
much as possible of the Divine Na-
ture, there must be diversity of
languages, of religions, of inter-
pretations — both within civiliza-
tion and within the individual. Mr.
Klibansky views this opinion as
being of fundamental importance
in Nicholas’ conception of human
culture. Perhaps one of his great-
est contributions comes directly
from this—the emphasis upon in-
dividualism which influenced the
thought of subsequent generations.

Are we of today witnessing the
end of an epoch at whose begin-
ning stands Cusanus—the epoch of
the self-determining personality?
To answer this Mr. Klibansky
searches Cusanus’ own philosophy
and concludes: “As long as there
are any who strive freely to de-
termine their fate, the concept of
the free and noble God and of the
free and noble man will not die.”

[Learn Gregg Shorthand
| and Typing

In One Summer

Where will you be after the sum-
mer? Back at college—or at work?

In either case, a thorough knowl-
edge of Gregg shorthan and typ-
ing will be an invaluable aid to
you. Job-wise especially, it’s the
whole difference between your
starting as one eager, but skill-
less recruit in the great army of
file clerks—or as a highly paid,
visible secretary

Why the word “visible”? Because
the secretary is the only person in
an office (other than the execu-
tives) who is constantly seen by
executives Career-wise, that’s

basic.

Last year, our summer registra-
tions were very heavy—especially
for morning-only classes. Regis-
trations for this summer are
already being received in consid-
erable number. (Registrations for
the fall are always heavy and
should be arranged well in ad-
vance to assure entrance.)

Mr. Hans Kohn Speaks, Of The Urgent Problems Concerning Germany’s Future in Europe

Continued from Page 1

ated from a. former history of the
Western world. Two things have
occurred as a result of the Allies’
victory of World War II. First,
more Germans have been forced to
stop and think than in 1918. Sec-
ond, the Western Allies are stand-
ing close together in determina-
tion not to make the same mistake
as was made after the first World
War.

Western accomplishments have
been, stated Mr. Kohn, in the form
of two miracles. Our attitude in
creating the North Atlantic Treaty
has obviously surmounted danger-
ous isolationism. The second_mir-
acle involves the French overtures
to a unified Europe. “In 1945



there was not one human being
anywhere who would have believed
the Schumann Plan possible. To-
day we have not only liberated the

heart land of Europe; we have tak-
en steps and united to integrate
Germany into Europe.”

Mr. Kohn sees the Kennon con-
tainment policy as excellent, if the
West is patient. With the death
of Stalin anything can happen. At
present the new regime is making
peace overtures to the West, not
out of love for the West but out
of fear of war.

Peace is sought for three rea-
sons. First, the Russian people
who would take any chances for
Stalin has lost its father image.
No one dares step into this god’s



empty place. Second, there are

‘tremendous tensions which, with-

out him, cannot be quieted. Third,
the American policy of contain-
ment has forced a change “of the
immediate tactic line in the So-
viet Union”.

“T am convinced that, if the
West remains united militarily,
economically, spiritually, we can
solve the two great problems be-
fore us—that of Germany and that
of Russia.” Germany can be in-
tegrated, neither for war with Rus-
sia nor for fear of Russia, but be-
cause of a positive desire to see

the West united. So Dr. Kohn

answered his original question.
In conclusion, he stated: “From

all that I see, from all that I read,

in spite of hesitations, in spite of
remaining ideas, the progress has
been so tremendous in the last five
years that I believe we dre nearer
a world safe to all than ever be-
fore in the twentieth century.”

Observer

What part do the parents really
play in the life at Bryn Mawr? It
begins a long time ago in planning
for a “college education” for their
child. It continues through days of
frenzied packing and _ repacking
and the following weeks of sending
everything forgotten in the rush
to catch the train. There through
the first few weeks or months of
uncertainty it is the letters from
home—eagerly awaited but casual-
ly received—that serve as the only
link with the old and familiar.

Carloads full of belongings
groan back homewards from the
winter’s work to the summer’s ad-
venture. “Is that all I’m good for,
being your chauffeur?” grumbles
one disgruntled father. All too

soon he will be driving the last
(and heaviest) load back home
from school for a final time.

Our long-suffering parents wait.



—for our letters, ourselves, and
our long-awaited maturity. Patient-
ly they bide their time, trying by
their example teach us calm-
ness, stability. But life at the mo-
ment is too exciting, it demands
too many snap decisions to give us
time to consider our futures. Pa-
tience and understanding will come
in our own time, when we have
learned what we came to college
for, to recognize ourselves and
know our own independence.



The final event of Parent’s
Day will be a tea held from
4:00 to 6:00 in the Garden of
the Deanery, for students, their
parents, and the faculty. Here
is an opportunity to meet the
professors whom you may have
missed in the morning. In case
of rain, the tea will take place
in the gymnasium.









WELCOME

The Parents’ Day Committee, the
Faculty, and the College cordially
welcome all parents to Bryn Mawr
Campus. We hope that you will
receive a more comprehensive pic-
ture of our college life and will
join in with the spirit of the cam-
pus. We have tried to make the
schedule appear as nearly like a
regular. day as possible, so that
you ‘can fully partake in our ac-
tivities.

Your visit to our campus will
give you a chance to see the col-
lege from a more personal point of
view, for we want to give you an
opportunity to meet your daugh-
ter’s friends and one another as
well as the faculty. Please share
in our fun and we are sure that
this day will be a great success.

Bard’s Eye View

The girls are out

The sky is clear

(A five-day weather

Report we jeer).

How could the first

Of May be fine?

To fear the worst

In our best line.

The sun that shines so fair today
Will have by Mayday sunk away.
That wispy cloud lost in the blue
Will multiply and multihue
Until it makes Mayday

A common, uninspiring grey.



All parents are invited to
come and join in the fun at 2:00
on Saturday when there will be
softball. for all on Merion
Green. In case of rain there
will be volley ball in the gym.

seeing. Beginning in the M. Carey
Thomas Library (where much of a
student’s four years are spent), a
tour would be sure to visit the Cloi-
sters first, where blossoms are fall-
ing from the pink cherry tree. Com-
pletely surrounded by grey battle-
mented walls and towers, here the
student at once can study and sun
herself. Here on one night in the
fall, class lanterns of blue, red,
and green illuminate the scene as,
singing their Greek hymn, the
Freshmen are officially welcomed
to Bryn Mawr. The Cloister pool
is the scene in the spring of
frenzied activity—tradition has it
that a senior must swim around
the pool the night before her first
comprehensive in order to pass.
Also traditionally, those nights
turn out to be freezing cold.

Exhibits in the Library include
that in the Quita Woodward Me-
morial Room —a display of fac-
ulty publications. Strict rules
govern the Room. Reading for en-
joyment alone, no studying, is al-
lowed within its walls. In the Rare
Book Room is a special exhibit of
Recent Gifts to the Library. On its
shelves is the Marjorie Goodhart
collection of mediaeval tomes and
incunabula—one of the finest in
the country.

Fritz Janschka, artist-in-resi- |
dence, has a painting on display
on the second floor west wing of
the library entitled And it is still
growing. This is a sample of what
New Yorkers were privileged to
see during his recent exhibit. Mr.
Janschka’s studio, in the Mrs. Otis
Skinner Workshop on the Baldwin
campus, will be open to visitors
Saturday morning. Language plays
and competitive Freshmen hall
plays are also produced in the
Workshop.

At the time the News went to

Parents Come To Bryn Mawr College
From Many Regions of United States



planning to attend Parents’ Day,
and more acceptances were arriv-
ing daily. The distribution by
classes shows that Freshmen par-
ents evince the greatest interest in
the college: approximately 39% of
those planning to come are par-
ents of the Class of ’56; 22%, of
the Class of 55; 21%, of the Class
of ’54; and 18%, of the Class of
53. This figure is somewhat mis-
leading, howvver, because the reg-
istration of all classes is not the
same.

Attending the class sessions, the
athletic events, the luncheon, and

the tea, these parents will have the
opportunity to know their girls in
the surroundings where they spend
two-thirds of their time. for four
years. Perhaps they will go home
with a clearer impression of the
College and its work, a _ better
knowledge of this partner in the
education of their children.





Pembroke Hall



ology Museum on the third floor
of the west wing has a fascinating
display of Greek and Roman coins
and vases, as well as some pieces
of Egyptian art. Many of the
ancient and beautiful objects were
given by friends of the College.
From the third or second—floor
balconies the sightseer can enjoy
a new perspective on the Cloisters.

A short walk from the Library
through Pembroke Arch _ and
across the street brings the visitor
to Wyndham, a delightful colonial
home set back among the trees.
Within its walls the girls may
speak only French—a valuable ex-
perience for those planning to go
abroad. “French House” was pur-
chased by the College in 1926 from
Gertrude Ely, whose property ad-
joins. Every Commencement time
the Senior Garden party takes
place in the lovely Wyndham gar-
den.

Across the street: and behind the
Inn is the College Infirmary,



where, fortunately, less of a stu-
dent’s life is spent. The Dispen-

sary is downstairs, the Infirmary

Across the green from Taylor and
neighboring the Library, the Dean-
ery is filled with remembrances
and objets d’art collected by Miss
Thomas in her world travels. Be-
cause of its furnishings and its as-
sociations with the past, Miss
Thomas’ home is one of the most
fascinating places on campus. Pur-
chased by the Alumnae Associa-
tion, it is now an inn for student
and faculty guests. If the visitor’s
curiosity about M. Carey Thomas
grows. after seeing her home, he
may glance in the Blue Room,
once her study, where hangs a por-
trait of the lady as she looked in
her youth, when she had just re-
turned from receiving her docto-

-rate abroad and was considering

the foundation of an American
girls’ college.

In the farthest corner of the
campus, beyond and down the hill
from Radnor, is Park, which con-
tains the Chemistry and Geology
departments. In its halls are ex-
tensive collections of rocks, min-
erals, and fossils, and a museum
of stratigraphy and paleontolgy.
Also of interest are the murals on
the stairways and in the modern
library on the second floor.



The Applebee Barn is a short
walk across the hockey field. This
building ~represents the culmina-
tion of a dream that the athletic
teams would someday have a field
house to entertain visiting teams
and provide a pleasant place for
relaxation. Named ot

Miss Constance Applebee, famous
sportswoman, who introduced hoc-
key to this country, the barn
is complete except for furnishings.
It was dedicated on Awards Night,
April 20, 1958, when those students
active in sports received their
blazers, owls, and pins. The barn
will be open, complete with a
guide, from 10 to 12 and from 2
to 4 on Saturday.

On the far corner of the cam-
pus, West House contains the Child
Study Institute and the Phoebe
Anna Thorne school. The Insti-
tute gives its services to the com-
munity of Bryn Mawr and does
guidance work for the local
schools.

This tour has travelled over the
campus to the buildings where the
student may spend much of her
working and playing hours. See-
ing these places helps to complete
the view of Bryn Mawr that the
visitor carries away with him.

be there all day for those wish-

Back on the campus block again
and just beyond Pembroke is Dal-
ton, the first science building. The
Physics department occupies the
first floor, the Biology department
the second and third, and the Math
department the fourth. On the
fifth floor are rabbits, mice, and
rats for experimental purposes; |
most of the undergraduate work is
accomplished in the downstairs
labs.

A year ago the College first ap-
pealed for general unrestricted
funds to help meet the difference
bétween rising costs and income
from endowment. Alumnae con-
tribute constantly and generously,
but it was apparent this was no
longer sufficient. The College turn-
ed to parents and friends who
know the values of the College as
well as the problems of financial
independent education today.



Students’ Parents, College’s Friends
Answer Call For Unrestricted Funds

Contributions were received from
parents of former students, friends
of the College and parents of pres-
ent undergraduates. The total up
to April 15 was $17,095.81. Of the
total given by parents of present

undergraduates, the parents of
1955 gave 58%, the parents of
1954 gave 22%, the parents of

1956 gave 16%, and the parents
1953 gave 9%.
