SWARTHMORE PHOENIX Vol. UI SWARTHMORE COLLEGE, SWARTHMORE, PA., MAY 9, 1933 No. 24 HALCYON PRESENTED BY HURLER DEDICATED TO DOCTOR MANNING Medieval Monks Form Keynote For Novel Presentation of Swarthmoreans DRAWINGS OUTSTANDING This week marks the appearance of the 1934 Halcyon, edited by Richard G. Hubler, as Editor-in-Chief and Sarah D. Antrim as Business Manager. Without a doubt, this edition of the Halcyon is the best that has appeared in several years. It is comparatively free from mistakes and in this point, if in no other, shows a marked superiority in the realm of Swarthmore annuals. The cover, to begin from the outside, is the heaviest that has ever been used oh a Halcyon, according to the editor. It is a dark walnut brown imitation leather with the word "Halcyon" in gold and the initial "H" in white. The motif is medieval, the foreword explaining its choice: "We have obviated the Friendly appearance here, but we trust that the spirit of honest workmanship, devout devotion to ideals and firm faith exhibited by the Monks of old will not seem alien to those Quakers who, like them, still search for the truth". The printing is done on heavy dull paper, and all the plates as well as the title-pages are hand-drawn by professional artists. The type is antique, bearing out the motif. The border of gold and black used throughout the book is embossed. The annual is divided into six sections: College, Classes, Fraternities, Activities, Sports, and Features. Dedication, College, and Classes "Dedication to Frederick J. Manning who teaches two lessons—History and Friendship", to quote from the dedicatory page. The drawing of our distinguished professor appears on the opposite page, (done from life.) The college section is short, but welldone. It consists of the names of the administration and faculty, headed by pictures of President Aydelotte and the three deans. The view of the entrance of Clothier Memorial, as well as the unusual drawing of the tower is excellent. The frame scheme employed to set off these drawings is both clever and original. "And Now Another Year" is a short and spicy resume of college highspots. A new view of ajn old place marks the beginning of the Classes section: Parrish Hall. A view from Parrish looking from the Asphaltum, and a silhouette of a figure in cap and gown announcing the probable fate of the class of '33, presents the Seniors. The Seniors are written up in the usual style of merely stating facts and activities. Informal pictures give us a homelike view of the outgoing class. The Juniors deserve special mention. Their section is introduced by a drawing of the tower interior of Clothier and a silhouette head of a Junior with a pipe. The pictures of the Junior women were M. S. G. A. HEAD Robert Browning, '34, who was chosen President of the Men's Student Government for next semester FLYNN SPEAKER AT ECONOMICS LUNCHEON HELD LAST THURSDAY Entire Revision of Banking System Necessary He Says BLAMES CORPORATIONS John T. Flynn in his talk at the economics luncheon last Thursday, May 4th, concluded this series of speeches for the year. Mr. Flynn chose as his subject "Banks as the Symbol of the Acquisitive System in Which We Live." Bankers Have Caused Trouble First of all Mr. Flynn said that we must revise our opinion of business men. It is the bankers themselves that have caused the fundamental trouble with banking. They are trying to stand to so many conflicting loyalties that they have ceased to be bankers and are merely tools in the hands of more powerful business men. Whaf has trD3d? this situation possible, Mr. Flynn said, are the holding companies which are really the work of acquisitive business men who assist in debauching our corporation laws. The capitalist system is dependent upon the banking system. If the holding companies were removed the bankers would have to become bankers and not mere acquirers of wealth for themselves and friends. Our civilization, he said, has travelled far enough from the jungle to abhor violence, but not cunning. If stealing is done indirectly we condone it. The remedy for this situation is that the test for leadership must be the ability to serve the public—not to acquire wealth. POLITICS NEEDS COLLEGE TRAINED EXPERTS SAYS PHILIP LA FOLLETTE By John H. Nixon, '35 The young college man who wants to enter politics should become an expert in some particular field and he will be drawn into politics by the demand for his knowledge, declared Philip F. La Follette in response to a question put to him at an informal gathering at the home of Dr. Dresden last Friday evening. The young man should become a specialist in banking, or public utilities regulation, or law, or something similar and there will be a place for him in politics even if his training is merely academic. "And once he is in, he must have the guts to stay in" Mr. La Follette added emphatically. Only too often do people quit politics because of the strong opposition. A man will find that there is a great deal of pressure applied to him by vested interests once he gets a responsible position. Professors are faced with the same situation when they are prevented from teaching what they think by the pressure of vested interests surrounding them. To resist this pressure and to stay in politics requires plenty of courage, he said. Courageous and Friendly Without question, this element of courage is one which has enabled young Philip La Follette to achieve a success in politics so early in life. He was elected to the Governorship of Wisconsin at the age of 33, and he is now only thirty-six. He not only has courage and determination as his solid square jaw indicates, but his broad friendly smile shows a democratic attitude and his clear blue eyes reveal a realistic but hopeful outlook. He is short and trimly built. He has a firm handclasp that would easily pave his way into any fraternity, and an individual point of view that would just as easily get him thrown out. With a friendliness and sincerity that arouse loyalty and confidence, he is clearly a leader of men. Intelligent and Well Informed He has a sure grasp of detail, and a decisiveness in arriving at conclusions which make him effective as a man of action. Wide traveling and extensive training have given him a broad and sound understanding of present conditions of society. He seems to have inherited those qualities of the La Follettes which brought his father, the late "fighting-Bob," to the Governorship of Wisconsin, to. the United States Senate, and to the Progressive Party candidacy for the President in 1924; and his brother Robert M. La Follette, Jr. to the Senate today. A further glimpse into his character and that of his family was given when he suggested a remedy for boss-ridden corrupt Pennsylvania politics. He was asked if he thought there was any hope for politics in this state, and what one could do about making sure that all votes were counted—the consistent poor showings of Dr. Brooks and Dr. Holmes in county elections for the last twenty years being mentioned to illustrate the trouble experienced here. One Must Not Be Afraid to Fight Mr. La Follette answered that Wisconsin politics were in the same condition before his father's time. They were as machine-ridden and corrupt as politics in Pennsylvania. "We set about to fight the old machine, and it took us ten years, but we built our own machine and won. We were often defeated as we were in this last election, but we kept on fighting. We often had to suffer social ostracism, but that is all part of the game." Feeling ran so high at times that rival telephone companies would refuse' to serve customers of opposite political opinion. Grocery stores run by followers of one party were boycotted by members of the other party. Thus it went, but by long and persistent fighting the La Follettes were able to pain control BROWNING IS CHOSEN M. S. G. A. PRESIDENT FOR NEXT SEMESTER New Executive Committee Elects Fred Willits Sect-Treasurer END YEAR'S ACTIVITIES Robert M. Browning, '34, was elected President of the Men's Student Government Association for the coming semester at the first meeting of the newly appointed Executive Committee yesterday. Frederick E* Willits, '34, was chosen Secretary- Treasurer of the Association. Browning succeeds John Mahon, '34, President during the semester now ending, while Willits succeeds John Brod, '34. Executive Committee Makeup The Executive Committee, which consists of one member from each of the men's fraternities on the campus and one from the Wharton Club, was appointed by the various organizations last Wednesday night. Three of the seven members of the new council also served on the retiring committee. Calvin Klopp, '34, Phi Sigma Kappa; Fred Willits, '34, Theta Sigma Pi; and Thomas Kennedy, '34, of the Wharton Club, continue to represent their societies. The new members of the committee are: Robert Browning, who succeeds John Brod, '34, as Delta Upsilon representative ; Ben Moore, '34, succeeding to the post of John Prest, '34, as Phi Kappa Psi representative; William Orr, '34, successor to Robert Young, '34, Kappa Sigma; and Robert Rushmore, '34, taking the place of retiring President Mahon, Phi Delta Theta. Retiring Staff's Achievements The retiring Executive Committee will complete its activities after assisting the new staff in its preliminary duties. Under the leadership of John Mahon the M. S. G. A. has been active during the present semester in reducing the number of committees of the Association to four, namely, the food, breakage, trophy room, and dance committees. Among other accomplishments during the closing semester was the installation of a water cooler in the library after much student agitation on the subject. Announcement of the chairmen and of thc-femr M: S. G. A. committees will be made later. The policies of the new staff have not been decided upon but will probably follow those of its predecessors. WILLARD SPERRY WILL GIVE THE ADDRESS AT BACCALAUREATE SERVICE Tucker Brooke of Yale is to Be the Phi Beta Kappa Speaker June 4 This year Swarthmore is to have Professor Tucker Brooke and Professor Willard Sperry, both outstanding as lecturers and authors, besides being well-known in their particular fields, deliver the Phi Beta Kappa and the Baccalaureate addresses respectively. Professor Brooke is now the Graduate chairman of English at Yale University. He graduated from the University of West Virginia, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, with a B.A. in 1901, took his M.A. at the University of Chicago in 1902, and then went to St. John's college, Oxford, where he made a very unusual record with first honors in English. He has since been a lecturer in English at the University of London, at Cornell, and at Yale. Among his works are books on Shakespeare, Marlowe, and the Tudor drama. Author, Pastor and Educator Professor Sperry is now Dean of the Theological School of Harvard University. After graduating from Olivet College, Michigan, in 1903, he received a Rhodes Scholarship, the first one from Michigan to go to Oxford. There he attended Queens' College and received a first honors degrees ology. He has taught at Andotfer Theological Seminary, at Manchester College, Oxford, and at Harvard, as well as having been pastor of the Central Church, Boston. He is the author of several books and many recent articles in Harpers' and the Atlantic Monthly. MEN'S ROOM CHOOSING TAKES PLACE WEEK BEFORE EXAMS According to an announcement from the Dean of Men's office, men's room choosing will take place the week before the final examinations. At present plans are not complete, but they will be ready in time for publication in the next issue of the Phoenix. REGISTRATION OF HONORS STUDENTS Honors Students are asked to complete their enrollment in seminars for the first semester of next year by Wednesday, May 17. On May 10 they will find enrollment cards in their mail boxes with notices giving the hours when they may consult their instructors and the chairmen of their Honors Divisions. These cards must be filled out, signed and returned to the Dean's Office not later than Wednesday, May 17. W. S. G. A. MAKES PLANS FOR COMING YEAR AT FINAL MEETING MAY 3 New Committees Appointed; Plans for Freshmen Introduced DEAN BLANSHARD TALKS The last meeting of the Women's Student Government Association for this year was called to order by the new president, Frances Lang, on Wednesday evening, May 3, in Clothier Memorial. The meeting was opened by Dean Blanshard, who thanked the past Executive Board for their good management of affairs during the past year and encouraged the incoming Board, wishing them success. She then described the plans for Commencement which include, besides the graduation exercises, the Rhodes Scholars' Reunion, and in addition to asking for the cooperation of the women in the problem of housing them, asked for volunteers to take care of the nursery school planned for the children of the visitors. Reports of Committees Included in the regular reports of the committee chairmen were th£ committees who will serve next year. The Conduct Committee, headed by Elizabeth Carver, '34, includes Ruth Lippincott, '34, Elizabeth Jones, '34, Agnes Metcalfe, '35, Martha Willard, '35, Lydia Highley, '35, and Florence Lyons, '36. The Personnel Committee, headed by Nina Bowers, \54, is composedtJf Grace Biddle, '34, Florence Faucette, '34, Dorothy Glenn, '35, Elizabeth Reller, '35, Carol Keyes, '36, and Mary Laird, '36, and will also include two freshmen. In connection with these two committees it was decided that appointment of the committees for the second semester which usually takes place at the beginning of the new term will be moved up to January to even up the length of their terms. The Somerville Committee, under Margaret Fayerweather, '34, will be served by Barbara Ivins, '35, as vicepresident, Cynthia Wentworth, '35, Hilda Gruenberg, '34, Sarah Dunning, '34, Hazel Morland, '35, and Eleanor PHILIP LA FOLLETTE LECTURES ON BASIC PROBLEMS OF TODAY Declares Government Action is Needed in Spreading Buying Power INDIVIDUALISM IS FAILURE Speaking to a large audience in Clothier Memorial last Friday evening, May 5, Philip F. La Follette, son of the late Senator Robert M. La Follette, and former governor of Wisconsin, declared that economic individualism had failed and that government action in increasing the demand for goods was the fundamental need of the day. Mr. La Follette, lecturing under the auspices of the Cooper Foundation, stressed the importance of re-employment as the immediate problem in re-adjustment of consumption, after which he believes that the financial situation will take care of itself. Introduced by Dr. Robert C. Brooks of the Political Science department, Mr. La Follette opened his speech by emphasizing the necessity for the leadership of men and women, "young—but not necessarily in years." "I am convinced," he said, "that this is the end of an epoch." After telling briefly of the financial tangle in the farm situation, he declared overproduction the basic cause of the depression. There are, however, two kinds of surplusunconsumable and unpurchasable, the present one being of the latter type. Although the difference is not apparent to the individual, it does affect the method of cure. Credit Expansion Useless Since the central cause of the difficulty is the inability of the people to buy what they have produced, the solution does not lie in expansion of a credit designed to facilitate, not consumption but production. "You can't pump credit into the pockets of the unemployed through our present financial structure," Mr.~La Follette stated. The basic problem to be faced today, he believes, is the return of the peofDle to a primitive type of self-sufficiency. He illustrated this with an explanation of conditions in Germany, where the depression haS"%een more severe and of longer duration. Within a radius of twenty miles of Berlin, there are a million and one half huts, at least half of which are permanently occupied. This population consists largely of skilled artisans who, unable to earn a living in their specialized trade, have abandoned the organization and tax structure of the city, to derive an elementary livelihood from the soil. The social consequences of such a movement cannot be overestimated. Mr. La Follette contends that reversal of this trend is of primary importance. Individualism a Failure The solution of the problem does not lie in individualism, because to the in- PRESIDENT AYDELOTTE DESCRIBES MOVES FROM MEDIOCRE STANDARDS The fact that the United States is in earnest about quality in education as it never was before is shown by two interesting developments outside the field of college work. One of these will be familiar to a number of you; it is, the introduction of something like the honors plan in secondary schools, in which, I am happy to say, George School is taking a prominent part. Last week I spent a day inspecting the work of their picked group, and came away full of admiration for what they are doing. George School is not alone in trying such a plan. Other secondary school/ throughout the country are conducting or contemplating similar experiments, and the importance of this movement would be hard to exaggerate. shall come to a time soon when the progress that is possible in college will depend on improvement in the secondary schools. Experiments must first be tried in the smaller schools, but the importance of this movement, if successful, will be greatest in our large city high schools, where it is impossible to treat all the students as if they are going to college and where the college group should be separated from the rest and given a program to fit their needs. The second development to which I allude is on the post-graduate school level. The Institute for Advanced Study, the new graduate school under the direction of Dr. Abraham Flexner, which will open its dodfs at Princeton in October of this year, is in many respects different from any graduate school now existing in the United States. It will not be connected with any undergraduate body. Its methods will be freer, and its standards more severe, than those at present in force in American graduate departments. There will be no course requirements, indeed no courses, no academic grades, and no formal discipline. The best of our Text of Dr. Aydelotte's Address in Collection, Wednesday, May 3, 1933 Swarthmore graduates who go on to post-graduate work frequently complain that they are subjected in the graduate school to a routine which reminds them of their Freshman and Sophomore Years in College. This they resent, and I think rightly. At the postgraduate level there is in this country the same need for increased freedom and higher standards which we have found in secondary-school and college work. On all hands that need is being felt, and it is inevitable that it will be met. Broadly speaking, the educational developments which I have sketched indicate that our educational system is striving as never before to get away from pedantic methods and mediocre standards. Generations of humanists from Mathew Arnold to Ortega y Gasset have warned us that the rise of democracy and the attempt to educate all classes of people brings with it inevitably the danger of what Ortega calls "the tyranny of the mass mind," —the domination of mediocrity. The difference between the superior mind and the mass mind is precisely this: the superior mind disciplines itself, holds itself to the service of certain ideals, while the mass mind accepts no opinions which differ from its own and holds as its ideal the doing of what one likes. The superior mind, on the other hand, has the attitude of noblesse oblige, and sets for itself the highest standard a given individual is able to reach. These considerations bring us to the very heart of the problem of American education. In its essence that problem is to provide an education which will is to provide an education which shall be broad, democratic, and at the same time superior. So great an admirer of democratic. institutions as de Toqueville thought such' an ideal impossible (Continued on Page Two) (Continued on Page Two) (Continued on Page Six) (Continued on Puae Six J (.Continued on Page Three) INTERFRATERNITY SING IN CLOTHIER SUNDAY BOOK AND KEY John Abrams.

all taken with the subjects wearing black velvet and makes for an effective whole. The write-ups are a distinguishing feature of the section. Instead of the usual ballyhoo and attempts at humor which have marked the foregoing Halcyons, Editor Hubler has insisted on honest attempts at intelligent presentations. Each person is discussed from two angles: interests and sidelights, the former being a matter of listing in a polite form. The Sophomores and Freshmen are introduced by views of the Cloisters and the Asphaltum respectively. The major subject, which has followed the names of these students in former books, has been wisely omitted. Fraternities, Activities and Sports The fraternities are introduced by an attractive drawing of the Delta Upsilon house. After short commentaries cm both the men's and women's fraternities, the usual group pictures follow. The activities are introduced by a drawing of that seldom thought of, yet integral part of the campus: the Bartol Foundation. Following group pictures of the two student governments, an unusual drawing of our own Phoenix office introduces the publicity division! The Phoenix, Halcyon, and Manuscript duly follow. Under organizations, introduced by a picture of the Observatory, we find the Little Theatre Club, the Glee Club (at last, a picture) and Somerville Forum. Minor organizations includes Men's and Women's Debate, Chorus and Orchestra, Engineers' Club; le Cercle Francais, and the Trotter Biological Society.The sports section presents many novelties. The Monk ringing the college (?) bell and the gates of the Alumni Field make a fitting introduction. The first surprise is the pictures of all captains which appear at the beginning of each respective sport. They are hand-drawn reproductions of photographs and as a whole are done fairly well. The coach, manager, and an action picture follow in each sport. The second and perhaps greater shock is the fact that sports which were heretofore considered non-existent (to the student-body as a whole) were given as much prominence as the major ones. This perhaps shows a commendable attitude taken by the staff to encourage Swarthmore athletics. May Day and the Greek Gods' Game are not missing either. Features The features section deserves special mention. To begin with, it is short—perhaps too short. An explanation from the editor, however, informs us that he had twenty-five pages or so of delightful entertainment in store for the Halcyon readers, but after all, even the Democrats haven't alleviated the depression at the present, and consequently, economy insisted on a shortened section. However, we can truthfully say that what it lacks in quantity, it has in quality. It is unique, humorous, and yet a bit "high-brow" to conform with the rest of the book. The admirable way in which college life was presented by an enterprising and talented member of W. S. G. A. is a highspot of the book. The sophisticated and yet thoroughly illuminating caricatures done by our own clever artists are quite entertaining and 'Will produce many a laugh. All the piquant humor which Mickey Mouse, who ends the 'book, represents is a fitting example of the tone of this sec-, tion. In concluding, we might mention the splendid cuts of the various buildings on the campus which are interspersed throughout the book. In short, the 1934 Halcyon might well become the criterion of Swarthmore annuals. Editor Hubler and Manager Antrim are to be highly congratulated along with their competent staff: Associate Editors, Ruth Kewley and Frank Pier son; Junior Editor, James Kelly; Feature Editor, Frances Lang; Athletic Editors, Dorothy Lightfoot and James Perkins; Organization Editor, Anne Bowly; Art Editor, Katherine Lippincott; Assistant Art Editor, Helen Pike; Photographic Editors, Evelyn Dotterer, Lee Holt, and Alice Burton. Guckes, '36. On the Point System Committee, Anne Bowly, '34, will be assisted by Margaret Hardy, *35, and Margaret Huntington, '36. Planning for Freshmen Elizabeth Carver, '34, gave a report of the big sister system in effect at Oberlin College, by which each freshman has a senior advisor as well as a big sister in the junior or sophomore class,- thus giving her a chance to become acquainted with two different groups of upper classmen. After some discussion, it was decided to follow this plan, as it will be worked out by the Freshman Advisor and the Personnel Committee. Also on the subject of the class of '37 was the discussion of the problem of arranging the halls of Parrish next year so that no hall would be entirely composed of freshmen or almost entirely of upperclassmen mixed in with a very few freshmen. After considerable discussion it was decided that each hall would be divided equally between freshmen and upperclassmen to enable the new class to become better acquainted. It was also decided that the system of Thursday night freshmanupperclass dinner-dates inaugurated this year be continued for the first semester of next year. Alice Burton, '34, announced that Pan-Hellenic Council is planning to appoint a committee to make out a plan for fraternity activities and changes next year, and asked that any suggestions be turned in to any members of the Council. Assessment Voted An appeal for the support of the Little Theatre Club in its dramatic efforts was made by Elizabeth Reller, '35, who asked that the Association a&prave a plan for the assessment of fifty cents a semester on the registration cards to enable the Little Theatre Club group to improve not only their settings and stage equipment but the quality of the productions. There would be no further charge for admission to any of the Club's presentations. After a discussion of student activity fees to include most of the organizations and publications on campus, it was voted to include this assessment for the Little Theatre Club with the registration fees. Nancy Harvey, '33, announced that the Women's Formal would be held on Saturday, May 27, at the Aronomink Country Club, and that the Alumni Dance was open to all students of the college as a regular college dance. campus comment what ho! what ho! and flyson too!

The track team is scheduled for two days at Lancaster to take part in the Middle Atlantic S. C. A. A. meet, and the tennis and golf teams both have two matches apiece. The three baseball games come Thursday, with Muhlenberg, on the home field; Friday away with Union, and Saturday also away with Williams at Williamstown. The last two games promise to be especially interesting as the Union nine defeated the Williams team 9-7, in their game on April 29. Union has also defeated Hamilton 12-3. YEARBOOK EDITOR Richard G. Hubler, *34, whose 1934 Halcyon was published this week PRESIDENT AYDELOTTE TO CONTINUE LECTURE SERIES President Aydelotte will deliver the third in his series of- lectures on the "'Educational Ideals of Swarthmore College" before the undergraduate body in Collection tomorrow morning. This will be the concluding talk of the group which has been presented for the purpose of acquainting the students with the aims of Swarthmore and with the plans for future expansion along the lines of freer progressive education.UNDEFEATED STEVENS INSTITUTE TEN BOW TO GARNET LACROSSEMEN Pike Scores Four of Eleven Goals Over Visitors Five; Davies Stars Assuming an early lead which it never relinquished throughout the remainder of the contest, the Garnet lacrosse team last Saturday took its fifth victory of eight starts from the previously undefeated Stevens ten. Despite the muddy -condition of the Swarthmore field both teams exhibited fair lacrosse. Stevens, however, utilized a slow and sowewhat inefficient method of clearing out Vhich, in one case in particular, allowed the Garnet a free opening to tally. Oram Davies, Swarthmore goalie displayed stellar defense work in his protection of the Garnet net. Lloyd Pike led the scores with four counters in the first half. Joyce accounted for three as did Combs, Stevens out home. Pike Opens Scoring Three rapid succession tallies by Pike early in the first quarter started the Garnet drive. Volkmar followed and Pike repeated by receiving a pass from Price and netting the ball with a shot over his shoulder. Stevens Institute opened its scoring in the first quarter and worked it up to three points by half time. Price received the ball from mid-field when a Stevens pass was intercepted and drove it past Denliker. Funke raised the count to seven on a long shot which eluded several Stevens defense men. The second half saw the visitors add two counters, while Swarthmore raised its total to eleven. Lewis slapped one in on a pass from behind the goal. Joyce accounted for three, two of which he took from just outside of the crease unmolested by defense men to the great discomfort of the defending goalie. Goals: Swarthmore—Pike 4, Volkmar, Joyce 3, Lewis, Funke, Price. Stevens—Kennedy, 2; Combe, 3. Substitutions: Swarthmore—Joyce for Lewis, W. Hickman for Rushmore, B. Hickman for Williams, Smith for Clement, Young- for Bell, Baxter for Smith, Rushmore for B. Hickman, Williams for W. Hickman. Stevens—Garaway for Ruenes, Smith for Caraway.

HALCYON MANAGER Sarah Antrim, '34, who was Butineas Manager of the 1934 Yearbook ELEANOR ALLEN, '36, IS WINNER OF THE ANNUAL NEWTON LIBRARY AWARD Decision Announced at Tea Given May 7; Subject of Library is Aviation Eleanor Allen, '36, was the winner of the A. Edward^Newton Library Contest, it was announced Sunday, May 7, at a tea held at the home of Dr. Robert E. Spiller. Miss Allen's library consisted of books on aviation. Every phase of aeronautics, from the earliest balloon flights to modern times, was represented. There were some very old books, magazine articles, photographs, and a letter from Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd. Along with these volumes were those which formed a background for the study of aviation, such as Chemistry, Physics, and other allied subjects. Miss Allen will receive a prize of $5O. Other Competitor* The remaining three of the four final competitors were F. Barron Freeman, '34, Lee E. Holt, '34, and Barbara 0. Ives, '33. Mr. Freeman's library was a collection of first editions of modern American authors. Mr. Holt had a collection of books on German literature and philosophy, and Miss Ives presented a group of books on art, chiefly architecture.The Judges Following the decision of the faculty committee, composed of Miss Edith Philips, Mr. Charles Shaw, and Dr. Robert E, Spiller, the final judgment was placed in the hands of Mr. Carroll A. Wilson of New York. Mr. Wilson is a corporation lawyer and book collector, a graduate of Williams College, a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and a Rhodes Scholar. The donor of the prize, Mr. A.

of attainment. It is my own firm conviction that this is not only possible but necessary, and the importance of the issue lends deep significance to the experiment we are undertaking at Swarthmore. What are the elements of an educational discipline which will meet the needs I have outlined? They seem to me to be three. The first of these, which was the subject of the first speech I ever made to the undergraduates of Swarthmore College, is intensity. To achieve the purposes I have outlined, the educational discipline must call for the fullest powers, both of te*cli£c& and students. Intensity is an essential for self-discipline. Above everything else an educational institution ought to be alive. Everything that happens in it must seem to matter to the people concerned, not merely in work but also in play. In September of 1921 I announced to the student body that my first wish for Swarthmore was intensity, and I can only say today that I have had my wish fulfilled in overwhelming measure. In the second place, there must be an atmosphere of freedom. There must be freedom in learning and freedom in teaching, or else the best educational values cannot be achieved. Spoon-feeding, leading people by the hand day by day, specifying every act they should or should not do, will never produce real intellectual or spiritual vigor. This a dangerous statement to make, because young people must have a certain amount of direction. Unlimited freedom is not given to any of us. You cannot be free from all discipline. You cannot do everything you like regardless of others. But freedom to measure up to your highest ideals is an essential condition of individual progress. If too narrowly circumscribed, education fails. You are free insofar as you want to do something better than your professors or your tutors could possibly prescribe, and in that sense freedom is an essential condition of the fullest development of mind and character. In the third place, there must be an atmosphere of balance, an atmosphere in which individuals are able to weigh one thing against another and to think of them in their proper relations, with a true sense of proportion. American undergraduates are on the way to achieveing this sense of balance. One of the outstanding facts of the present day, and one of the best evidences of progress, is the disappearance, all over the United States, of what we used to call the "rah rah spirit." This does not mean that education should be all work and no play. I am myself a very thorough believer in play. I am a thorough believer in college athletics and in college activities, but I think they should be looked at with a true sense of proportion and not considered as the most important things in life. As a person who had, as player and coach, eight years of college athletics, I am myself'a very thorough believer in athletic sports, and I think sports should continue through life. I believe furthermore in the participation of undergraduates in all kinds of activities. Every individual should have a hobby and ample leisure in which to pursue it. But I want to point out that play is not play if it becomes the most serious thing in life. When it becomes the serious business of life, it ceases to have the value of play. I am sure that many athletes cease to take pleasure in sports, because these sports are taken too seriously. That is one trouble with football in places where winningwinning or losing the game is considered to affect vitally the success of the institution. If football is taken so seriously as that, there is too much responsibility placed upon the players, and the game becomes work and not play. Athletics have another value, which is very important, and that is that they teach an individual to do his best in a contest. Until quite recently in our educational institutions there was no test so ruthless as the test of athletic contests. You can understand that if you think of the athlete's attitude toward excuses. A good sportsman, if he loses a race, does not attempt to offer excuses for his failure. He does not explain why he lost, but accepts the decision and bides his time until another contest. In many walks of life the attitude toward failure does not come up to quite the same standard of sportsmanship": ~ Another important thing about athletics and outside activities, a value not hitherto supplied by the conventional academic course, is that they give the individual a chance to do things on his own motion, to do things which are not required. There is keen competition !h these outside activities so that the standards are high; when people are working on their own motion, through some impulse inside themselves, they work harder than when they are told what to do. Modern education is attempting to capitalize those values by increasing the severity of academic work, by increasing its freedom, giving the opportunity to the strongest and keenest individuals to work count, and thus secure for academic purposes the values formerly to be obtained only in the pursuit of athletics and extracurricular activities. It is significant that the qualities required for success in such an academic program as we have put into operation at Swarthmore are quite as much qualities of character as of intellect. Brains are needed but so also' are ambition, independence, courage, initiative, perservance and sportsmanship. The conventional academic system paid disproportionate rewards to docility which, while admirable and necessary in its place, can hardly be called the highest of human virtues. It is, I think, an approach to reality that the sturdier qualities of character should be so important for success in academic studies. They are equally important for success in after life. It is beyond the power of any academic discipline to conifer qii&litfes of character upon individuals who do not possess them, but it is possible to develop such qualities when they do exist, and this we are seeking to do. So organized academic studies are of value not merely for training the mind but also for building character. Men sometimes talk about college education as if its two aims, of training the mind and developing character, were completely separate. It looks to me as if some indiyiduals even tend to think of time spent on studies as a loss, so far as character is concerned, and to consider that the only important moral development comes from athletic sports and extra-curricular activities. In contrast to this point of view I should hold that one of the most important results of the improvement in academic methods which I have been describing is to give academic studies increased value in the development of moral as well as intellectual power. It is just as true in college as it is in after life that work well done, in an atmosphere of freedom and responsibility, is the best builder of character. These are some of the educational theories underlying the educational program which I have been talking about. It is a strenuous, a dangerous, and adventurous prqgram. It is not a program for weaklings. It is not a program for those without intellectual interests. But it is a program, which, at its best, by vigorous discipline of intellect and character, trains men and women to use their powers to the utmost in doing their share of the world's work. SOPHOMORE ISSUE OF MANUSCRIPT TO COME OUT TUESDAY, MAY 16 Will Contain fVize Winning Stories and Sketch for Novel// by Martha Willard i On Tuesday, May 16, the last issue of the Manuscript for this year will come out under the joint editorship of Mary Isabel Schorer, '35, and Martha Willard, '35. It will be a combination of the two spring numbers, and is put out under the direction of the sophomores. This issue gives ample promise of being exceedingly interesting and a decided credit to the sophomore editors. Among the outstanding features will be Dorothy Koch's story, "The Renascence of Williughby Crum" which received first prize in the Manuscript short-story contest. This contest which was open to the entire student body, was the first one ever conducted by the Manuscript group in which regular magazine-length stories were entered. This is a deftly executed little tale—delightfully satirical in its character portrayal of the entertaining Mr. Crum. "The Executive", by William Whyte, which received honorable mention is also listed among the contents of this number. Ruth Ernestine Cook has contributed an article entitled Why Be a Freshman or a Sophomore? dealing with the place of honors work in the four years' course. Something definitely new for this publication is Martha Willard's "Motif For a Novel". Two or three people of the Manuscript group have been working on novels for experience in dealing with a new literary medium. It was decided that Manuscript readers might be interested in this experiment, so there will be printed, under the title of "Motif For a Novel", the sketch from which one is being developed. FINAL NOTICES ABOUT ROOM CHOOSING FOR WOMEN ISSUED Final notices concerning room choosing for women for 1933-34 have been issued. On Monday, May 15, the women students will to determine order of choice at the following times: juniors, 4:00 p. m.; sophomores, 4:30 p. m.; freshmen, 5:00 p. m. All who expect to be resident students next year and have paid their room deposits will draw lots in alphabetical order, first naming their room-mates. Room choosing will be held at 4:00 p. m. in the Dean's Office on the following days: juniors, Tuesday, May 16; sophomores, Wednesday, May 17; freshmen, Thursday, May 18. GERMAN CLUB SHOWS GOETHE PICTURES AT OPEN NIGHT ON MAY 4 Film Depicts Events and Scenes Connected With Life of German Poet At the open night of the German Club on Thursday, May 4, a film on the life and works of the poet Goethe was presented, through the courtesy of the Carl Schurz Foundation. Clara Price Newport, head of the German Department, gave a brief resume of each reel before it was flashed on the screen. She explained that the picture was by no means complete, touching only on the most striking incidents of the poet's life; and showing from his works only those portions which were good screen material. The picture opened with scenes in the city of Frankfort, Goethe's birthplace; and finally reached the outside of the Goethe house. Views of the interior of the house; of his father at work in his study; and his mother superintending the kitchen, were followed by scenes from the puppet play of "Dr. Faustus". As a child, Goethe had a great interest in marionettes. More scenes by the puppets were interspersed with scenes from Goethe's own "Faust", played by real actors. Goethe's Love Affairs Strasbourg, the second city of his residence next appeared, with pictures of its great cathedral. This city was the scene of his first love affair, with Friederike Br ion, about whom he wrote the charming poem "Heidenroslein". At its end, he ran away, and at Breslau met the second woman to influence his life —Charlotte Buff, whom he wrote into the character of Lotte in his novel "Werther", a scene from which was played on the screen. Lotte however, was the fiancee of his friend, and so he ran away again, to Weimar where he spent the rest of his life. Life at Weimar was pictured by means of silhouettes. Here Goethe was an important man in an official capacity, having a great deal to do with public works. Sections of a park of his planning completed this phase of his life. After a number of years at Weimar, Goethe went on a journey to Italy, and a number of sketches which he did during his travels were shown to mark his itinerary. On his return to Weimar, he became director of a court theater; and a scene pictured the opening night of his first play, "The Robber Knight." The picture concluded with a scene in the poet's home shortly before his death; and the last flash was a closeup of the famous death mask. Throughout the film,, Goethe himself never was shown "in the flesh"; only silhouettes, shadows and portraits gave an idea of his appearance. PICNIC SUPPER TO BE GIVEN FOR JUNIORS BY FRESHMEN The freshman class will, as announced, entertain the Juniors at a picnic supper to be held in front of Worth dormitories and in Bond Memorial on Monday evening May 15. The meal, which will be served out of doors unless it rains, will start at 5 :30, but because of college regulations dancing in Bond will end at 8:00, instead of continuing until 10:00 as published in the last issue of the Phoenix. "Any member of the Freshman class who is willing to help with preparations at any time on Monday afternoon is requested to get in touch with Margaret Tilton, Ruth Murray, Sidney Hamilton, or Tom Jones. CLUBS WILL MEET TO ELECT OFFICERS OF COMING YEAR Three departmental clubs will hold their final meetings of the year this week for the purpose of electing officers for the coming year. The French and Engineering clubs will meet to-day for this purpose and the Classical Club will hold its election of officers on May 18. The officers of the German Club for next year have already been chosen. ON OTHER CAMPUSES by Margaret F. Peters.

Brooks of the Department of Political Science. As in other contributions to this series the author presents an introduction to the subject, followed by a critical discussion of the five or six best books devoted to -it. Among the works selected by Dr. Brooks is New Minds, New Men? by Dr. Thomas Woody, Lecturer in Education at the College. Russia, the Soviet Way contains also a study outline which is of unusual local interest because it is drawn up in accordance with the methods used in honors work; indeed the booklet as a whole is an outgrowth of the seminars in Democracies and Dictatorships which Professor Brooks has now been conducting for several years.

The Student on War The results of the Peace Poll riicently conducted among the student body show that out of 287 signers 131 would support a war only in case of the invasion of the mainland of the United States, 120 would participate in no war whatsoever, and that only 36 would participate in any war approved by the president and congress of the United States. The poll indicates that the students of Swarthmore are essentially in harmony with students in many colleges and universities in America and Great Britain on the question of war participation. The famed Oxford Union went on record 750 to 138 "that this House will in no circumstance fight for its King and Country". The Manchester University Union voiced a similar sentiment. In a poll conducted at Columbia university it was revealed that of 920 balloting 293 would fight under no circumstances, 484 wou[d fight only in case of invasion, and only 81 would fight under any circumstances. Other polls throughout the United States show similar results.These expressions of sentiment should be an encouraging sign to those organizations, like the Society of Friends, which have worked valiantly to educate the students towards peace. They should be a warning, furthermore, to the statesmen of the world who still think that the young people will be happy and willing to become cannon fodder at their beck and call. The proportion of students who would refuse to fight is far greater than the two percent of the population that Albert Einstein believes could halt war. That the students of the two great English speaking nations thus refuse to condone war is one of the few rays of hope penetrating through the war clouds which hang over the world. The finaj test will come, however, when the student is forced to choose between the patriotic roll of the drums and the penalty which may be inflicted for conscientious objection. In the meanwhile, the part of the statement which pledges the student "to work actively for the organization of the world on a peace basis" is of utmost importance, and the effective carrying out of that pledge may do more to preserve peace than a mere refusal to fight. Rumors About Admissions Some time ago the student body and many of the alumni were up in arms due to a rumor which reported that there were only fifty-seven men applying for admission to Swarthmore college for the coming year. The humor of the report lay in the final word, which was that there were only seven men who had applied. Now that practically all the applications which will be considered are in, it is very gratifying to note that Swarthmore college and her principles have attracted more men for the coming season of 1933-34 than during any single one of the past three years. More th2n thirty more men applied for open scholarships this year than ever before. In regard to admissions for next year, one more rumor of long standing and wide report deserves mention. When the Phoenix first published the results of the selection of women to be admitted next year, the gross number of 127 or thereabouts excited much wide-spread comment. To those not well-informed it appeared that Swarthmore college was going to the women. The number of women accepted, however, is no more than customary. Some of that number will undoubtedly fail to present themselves next Fall for finan-/ cial or other reasons. In speaking about the balance of men and women in Swarthmore qollege, part of the statistical data appearing in the humorous feature sectioih of the 1934 Halcyon should be called to the attention of those interested. Despite the fact that as often as! thirty more women than men are admitted in the roll of any* class, when the time comes for graduation it will be noted that the mortality among the women is much higher than among' the men and there have been, in the past few years, at least, consistently more men than women in the graduating class. The statistics for the other three classes show that this trend is still in operation.The purpose of all this is to show to the critical student or alumni that the administration has control over the problem of admissions. The increasing demand for admission to Swarthmore college at this time is particularly gratifying. . The educational ideals of Swarthmore college, which have at times found opposition from sundry quarters, appear so far to be showing ample justification. The increased number of applications for scholarships should not be taken to mean that there should not be taken to mean that the are just so many more men who need the financial assistance, although there is much in that idea. A better point is that more men are coming to Swarthmore college to be interviewed. Consequently they get to see the college and the recent undergraduates are given a fine opportunity to "sell" Swarthmore college to them. There is no evidence that our institution is losing ground. Consistent effort can still profitably be made toward improvement, and that is what everyone is working toward. , STUDENT GOVERNMENT HANDBOOKS WILL BE COMBINED After conferences between the editors of the handbooks of Men's and Women's student government at the instigation of Dean Blanshard, it has been decided to reorganize the publications of Swarthmore college. The two handbooks, hitherto published separately, will be combined with the Opening bulletin. It has also been decided to publish the college' catalog in October instead of in March as before. LETTERS To the Editor of the Phoenix:- , Dear Sir: / , Before I stop to shake the water out of my ears and become restored to my good humor of ten minutes ago, I shall make the one or two poisonous observations that have been running in my miad evter since I found my raincoat among the missing and was forced to sprint over here to the barracks without one. I'll amend that. I was not forced to. There were any number of rain coats at my disposal, but partly from principle and partly so that I could write this letter, I resisted the temptation. If a person has the foresight to bring a raincoat at the beginning of the morning, there ought to be enough honesty among the men here to make it unnecessary to hide that raincoat in some deep recess to be sure of finding it when needed. As for taking some one's else because someone took yours,—that is absurd or worse. This is not an advertisement (the raincoat will probably find its way back to its hook as it always does). It is an admonition ! I believe that the raincoat custom here ought to be changed, and I hope that this suggestion, together with my good example in getting wet, will give impetus to a movement that will culminate in a complete change in the present system of borrowing. Osmond Molarsky '34. KIRBY PAGE LECTURES ABOUT "DEMOCRACY IN A REVOLUTIONARY AGE" Editor of "World Tomorrow" Gives General Talks on Problems of World Today Kirby Page, editor of the "World Tomorrow", spoke on "Democracy in a Revolutionary Age" before a small crowd in the Meeting House Monday evening, May 8, having come here under the auspices of the Citizens' Forum and the Liberal Club. Mr. Page gave a very genial talk, touching on the World War, the stock market crash, the present economic, political, and social problems, and finally on the comparative merits of Fascism, Communism, and Socialism. He avowed a firm faith in the methods of Socialism as compared with the more extreme alternatives.Striking at the false concept that "a man is entitled to all the money he can get", the speaker stated that the financial and political leaders had all failed miserably in recent times because their principles were in themselves unworkable, based as they were on this fundamental error. Advocates Socialism He pointed qut that we have been trying in vain to reconcile economic inequality with political and ethical equality, and urged a rapid swing to the principle of comparative equality in wealth. In order to accomplish this, the underdogs need to be hoisted by such means as social insurance, education and direct relief, and the rich elements must be pushed down to the common level by increasing income and inheritance taxes, he urged. He wound up with a word of warning that unless we change our present tactics, dictatorship would overtake us, and with a plea to accept the principles of Socialism. A period of questioning by the audience followed the talk. COSMIC RAY INVESTIGATIONS TO BE UNDERTAKEN BY THE BARTOL FOUNDATION STAFF Dr. Johnson on Three Months' Trip in Mexico, Peru and Canal Zone Dr. Thomas Johnson, Head of the Bartol Foundation, is on a three months expedition into Mexico and South America to carry on investigations concerning the cosmic ray. That the work is regarded as of considerable importance is shown by the fact that the leading articles in the March 1 issues of The Physical Review and of the Franklin Institute Journal have been devoted to an account of Dr. Johnson's forthcoming experiments. President Aydellotte and Dr. Miller have shown an active interest in the plans and have helped Dr. Johnson in arranging for the expedition. The precise problem which Dr. Johnson is attempting to solve is to determine to what extent the magnetic field of the earth influences the reception of cosmic rays. In our latitude, where the magnetic field is weak, the rays are strong enough to pass through the atmosphere with little disturbance, but at the magnetic equator a change should take place, which should begin to make itself felt in Mexico and reach the maximum at the magnetic equator which for this longitude is in Peru. The appartus to be used will consist of two cosmic ray telescopes which will record the rays as they come in from different directions. In the environs of Swarthmore theiee are seven vertical rays per minute, and in the regions which will be investigated there will probably be considerably more. The instruments are not genuinely telescopes, adds Dr. Johnson, inasmuch as they merely take note of the number of rays rather than presenting an image, but no other term has ever been devised for them. THE THEATRE Edited by Roberf Cadigan, '34 PULITZER PRIZE WINNER 1933 "Both Your Houses"—By Maxwell Anderson—Presented by the Theatre Guild under the Auspices of the American Theatre Society—Staged by Worthlngton Minor—Playing this week and next at the Shubert Theatre—Reviewed by Robert J. Cadlgan. On May 4th, Maxwell Anderson's new comedy, a propaganda play exposing the corruptness of our law makers in Congress, was awarded the year's Pulitzer Prize. Although written in the comic vein, it is a pointed protest against the methods employed by our so called politicians. The past few years have seen a number of protest plays dealing with topical subjects. There seems to be an ever increasing tendency among modern dramatists to employ the medium of drama to voice their ideas on some of the flagrant evils of the time and perhaps it is because "Both Your Houses" is the most successful of these efforts that the committee deemed it worthy of the prize. Elmer Rice sought to portray the evils resultant from our hectic economic situation in "We the People" in writing of the current depression, yet with all his skill of technique and masterful characterization he failed to instill fresh life into a very dreary picture. It was an earnest and sincere analysis and in fact the playwright was so concerned with his message that his drama suffered somewhat becaus of this. It is usually the case with propaganda plays that the propaganda tends to spoil the element of dramatic art and the dramatic art weakens the forcefulness of the propaganda. In "Of Thee I Sing" we saw the medium of burlesque employed to reduce the political machinery of the nation to the absurd and ridiculous. An exaggerated and modernized "lolanthe" it achieved a remarkable degree of success in making the politicians appear with assess ears. "Both Your Houses" lies somewhere in between these two. it treats of national politics sometimes condemning them seriously and sometimes merely laughing at them and at we poor, ignorant, lazy voters who tolerate the "fattening of the pork barrel.' There is one trouble, however, and that is that people have come of late to have a new respect for Congress and the administration and are not as wont to laugh and curse them as they were a few months hence. Still the play is timely. It presents the House Appropriations Committee in a log-rolling episode in. which they pass a bill to benefit all parties concerned and most particularly the inner circle, themselves. They are quite frank about it all and openly acknowledge that they are all looking out for number one and to hell with the nation, and this, in itself, is a relief from the usual fence-mending tactics which they generally employ to gull, fleece, and cozen the public. Shepard Strudwick in the role of the young Alan McClean, the new Congressman from Nevada represents the forces of idealism, honesty, and straight forwardness. He is vitally concerned in serving the people for the good of the people and yet he meets an opposition too skilled and too hafdboiled to be overcome. Although he is laughed at, at first, and hailed as a young "Jesus Christ from the West", the best of them soon realize that he is a man to be handled with kid gloves. When the moment seems blackest for him, he decides to play ball like the rest of them and the result is that in the end he is unable to win his cause because he attempted the impossible in trying to beat- the politicians at their own game. The leader of the legislative scoundrels is Solomon Fitzmaurice, "Old Sol", and he represents the grafting interests in a comic manner that is insinuatingly attractive. He is ably supported by his cohorts, the other committeemen and they are so convincing in their manner of cutting the cake in the interests of their own fat tummies, that one gathers that the situation is practically hopeless. The acting in this production is excellent. Honors go to Walter Kelly as Solomon Fitzmaurice, to Robert Strange as Simeon Gray, the chairman of the committee; and to Shepard Strudwick who represents the voice of the protesting public in his role of the struggling, young idealist. The two feminine parts are well played by Aleta Freel and Mary Phillips. This play following such successes as "Gods of the Lightning," and "Elizabeth, the Queen"; combining as it does high comedy and effective propaganda without losing in forceful dramatic incident marks Maxwell Anderson as one of America's foremost modern dramatists.PRIVATE LIVES "Dinner at Bight''— ir»nfman and Edna Ferber— PlayingYthia week and next at* the Forrest Theatre Reviewed by Robert F. Lewine. , \ Once again Georgfc Kaufman and Cdna Ferber offer to the theatre-going public one of their clever collaborations in the form of a three-act drama "Dinner At Eight". Following their brilliant success, The Royal Family, these two playwrights have written a novel and devastating portrait of city life in which clever dialogue, irony, smartness and lavishness of production play an important part. The story is episodic, involving the intertwining lives of eight people who have been invited by Mrs. Oliver Jordan to dine with the distinguished visitors from overseas, Lord and Lady Ferncliffe. The mere fact that the distinguished guests have the impertinence to go South the same day does not postpone the dinner. After seeing the absurd snobbery of Mrs. Jordan's telephonic invitations and her motives in inviting each person or couple, we are then admitted to the private lives of these people, including even Mrs. Jordan's servants. The guests are an assorted lot, including every type from an ex-hat-checking girl to an oldfashioned couple, Mrs. Jordan's own sister and her brother-in-law. There is Dan Packard, a crude, nouveauriche stock promoter and his wife, the from "across *he other side of the tracks"; there is Talbot, a fashionable doctor and his sympathetic, understanding wife. There is also Larry Renault, an ex-matinee idol and silent films star whose career is definitely at an end. To top the list there is Carlotta Vance, a faded beauty of the stage, who, in her day, has been the toast of several continents. When the final scene shows the guests assembled for the dinner we have seen the destruction of the original plans made by the hostess. Frustrated love, a false marriage, attempted murder, suicide, financial destruction, potential death from natural causes, adultery, even the destruction of the lobster capic, all have altered the lives of the diners or the dinner itself. Mrs. Jordan does not know the conflicting emotions of her guests, and as the hired string quartette strikes up a tune and the huge salon doors swing open, the guests straggle in to dinner and 'the curtain descends. It is evident that the authors intended this play to be one of biting irony. One naturally wonders successful they have been in attaining this end, for it is not as penetrating and ironical as it should be. One cannot help but compare this play with Grand Hotel, in that they both attempt to hang their disjointed mechanisms on a coordinating framework, but there is no question that Grand Hotel achieved more in depth, sentiment, and tangible tragedy. In many of the scenes there is a notable lack of feeling and pathos, and at times it seems that the collaborators have only scratched the surface of their original intentions. Theatrically, "Dinner At Eight" is -strikingly effective. With the aid of a revolving stage, scenes are changed with lightning rapidity. In the suicide scene the effective device of pantomime, hissing gas, and a fading lamp is employed with gruesome, yet impressive results. The final scene, whose purpose is to gather up the loose ends of the intimacies of each character, is quite a let-down insofar as the playwrights allowed the scene to supply its own climax. Its purpose is undoubtedly to show the absolute irony involved in a fashionable dinner party and the tragedies involved. The play is admirably acted by a large cast of notables. So precise is .the selection for specific types that one might easily think that the players' feelings would be hurt. Constance Collier, the faded beauty of the stage, is convincing except for the beauty; Ann Andrews gives a good performance as the shallow Mrs. Jordan; Malcolm Duncan acts Oliver Jordan's part with dignity and realism. Paul Harvey, "the big bag of wind", thunders the West, Wall Street, and realism and politics into the drama. To Conway Tearle as Larry Renault credit must go for the most vivid performance of the evening. Returning to the stage after an absence of twelve years spent largely in Hollywood, he played with grandeur and effect bringing reality to an -unsympathetic and artificial part. FRIDAY, MAY 19, SET AS DATE FOR ENROLLMENT IN COURSES May 19 has been set as the date for registration and enrollment in classes for the first semester of the college year, 1933-34.

Tennis, Lacrosse, Golf Teams Win as Batsmen Break Even and Trackmen Lose GARNET NINE CONQUERS HAVERFORD; LOSES ONESIDED CONTEST TO PENN Stetson Limits Main Liners to Five Hits While Mates Score Nine Runs One victory arid one defeat was allotted to the Garnet nine last week, when a strong Penn team walked away with an 8-0 victory and Bill Stetson twirled a win from the Haverford batters by the score of 9-1. A baseball nine from the University of Pennsylvania invaded the Swarthmore diamond last Wednesday, May 3, for-the first time in over fifteen years, and easily proved that the unfamiliar territory was no obstacle to their hitting power when they blasted out a 8-0 victory over the Garnet players. Two home runs caromed off the bats of the Red and Blue, while three of their hurlers limited Swarthmore to four meager singles. The one-sided contest was cut down to an eight-inning affair to permit the Penn baseballers to catch a train for their annual New England trip. The contest was almost called off due to rain and wet grounds, and was slowed down in the fourth inning by a cloudburst.Sipler Touched for Ten Hits Howard Sipler performed on the slab, and yielded ten hits, all but one aiding in run-making. Three safeties, two of which were four-baggers, and a walk gave Penn its big inning in the fourth, when four men crossed the plate. After the visitors had been easily retired in the first, the Garnet threatened to score, but failed. Heward watched four bad balls go past him and took first. Captain Johnny Abrams advanced him to second on an infield out. Stetson struck out, but Schembs and Sipler both were given free bases. Orr was unable to connect in the crisis and lifted a high fly to the first baseman. Penn scored its first tally in the third when Shanahan singled, reached second on Hendler's bunt into the mud, and raced home on Hemeon's single to Sipler, who let loose a wild heave over third. The Garnet threatened in the next frame, Schembs and Sipler singling. With the former on third, the next three batters struck out. Penn Rolls Up Lead But by this time Penn had increased its lead to 5-0. In the fourth, with one out, Freeman lifted a long home run to deep center. Jones doubled, Kelly strolled, and Shanahan smashed another circuit clout, this time over Bill Orr's head. In the next inning one more tally scored on a double, single and double play. The final frame saw two more tallies registered on Freeman's one-bagger, Jones' long triple and Sked's infield out. Defeat Haverford ■(, Behind the excellent twirling of their ace, Bill Stetson, who continued the two-year jinx he has held over the Haverford batters, the Garnet baseball aggregation vanquished its traditional rival on the Haverford diamond last Friday by the score of 9-1. Stetson limited his opponents to five hits and was never in trouble, while his mates reached two Main Line pitchers for nine timely hits, all run-makers. Captain AJ?rams and Bob Schembs were the stars in the Garnet cause. The second sacker crossed the plate and made ten assists, while four hits rattled off the catcher's bat. This triumph marked the second time this season that Stetson and the Garnet have triumphed over Haverford, the first game resulting in a 1-0 victory for Swarthmore.Home Run for Sipler The visiting Garneteers started the scoring in the second inning, when Sipler crashed a long home run out of the playing field. The Main Liners retaliated immediately, as Fraser, their third baseman, smashed a triple to right and tallied on Tiernan's single to center. This run, however, proved the only one Haverford was destined to have that day. Three Games This Week The Garnet nine faces Muhlenberg here tomorrow, and then makes a week-end trip to Union and Williams. The hopes for victories are bright for all these contests. Two-base bits—Scbemba, Heward. Threebase hits—Fraser Home ru i—Sipler. Struck oat—by Stetson 4. Nicholson 4, Tripp 1. Bases on b;tlls—Off Stetson 1, Nicholson t, Tripp 0. Losing pitcher—Nicholson. SWARTHMORE GOLFERS DEFEAT ST. JOSEPH IN RETURN MATCH, 7½-½ Garnet Linksmen Bow to Army and Osteopathy Teams; Haverford Next Although last week the men's varsity golf team bowed to Osteopathy and Army, the team defeated St. Joseph in a return match with that college on Friday to the tune of 7J4-J4. Osteopathy defeated the Garnet linksmen on their home course, Rolling Green, by the score of Sl/2-y2. Donahower and Ridgeway halved their best ball match with Ladd and Woodall to gain the Swarthmore score. The team suffered a similar defeat against the Army at West Point. Hick's halve with Maier was the Garnet's lone tally. St. Joseph Matches In a series of two matches played against the St. Joseph college six, the first match on Monday, May 1, was played at Cedarbrook Country Club, one of the most difficult courses in the Philadelphia association. The Garnet men unused to the lay-out of the course and the greens were at a decided disadvantage, and the outcome of the match was 6-3 in favor of the opponents. A return match played on Friday afternoon at the Rolling Green Country Club found Swarthmore the loser of only one match. The extra half-point garnered by the visitors was the result of the Lewine-Crowley halve. Both line-uos were shifted for the latter match; St. Joseph playing Bob Crowley, runner-up in the Philadelphia Junior Championship in 1931, as number one man, and "Bud" Daly, holder of one of the Cedarbrook championships, number three. John Finley, the only freshman playing for the Garnet, was moved from second to first position and not only defeated his man to the ):une of five down and four to go, but turned in the lowest medal score of the day. Donahower's match was the closest of the encounter. Although one down on the seventeenth, he took the hole to even the match on the eighteenth tee. Both Duly and Downahower were on the green in two but the Garnet captain required three putts, while Daly took the allowed two, winning the hole and the match. Haverford Next This week the team will meet the Haverford linksmen at Rolling Green, and will travel to Easton on Friday, May 12, to encounter Lafayette. The summaries: At Cedarbrook: Crowley (St. Joseph) defeated'Lewine (Swarthmore) 5 and 4. Finley (Swarthmore) defeated McMinugan (St. Joseph) 7 and 5. Rafferty (St. Joseph) defeated Persons (Swarthmore) 1 up. Daly (St. Joseph) defeated Donahower (Swarthmore) 3 and 2. Murphy (St. Joseph) defeated Hicks (Swarthmore) 6 and 6.

Ridgway and Smith defeated Youell and Quinn 3 and 2. JAYVEE LACROSSE MEN DOWN PENN FROSH ON MUDDY FIELD The Swarthmore Jayvee squad conquered a fighting Penn Freshmen aggregation at lacrosse last Saturday, in a tilt preliminary to the varsity match with Stevens. The score was 3-0, and it represented a closely-fought game, neither side having the edge very long at a time. The three tallies were registered by Davies Preston, in the first half, and by McCurdy and Barker in the second session. The visitors did not launch serious threats, but when they tried, "Twit" Taylor, Garnet goalie, kept them at bay. The general defense of the Swarthmoreans functioned well and served to keep their rivals from advancing far. As the field was muddy and rain fell during the contest, the speed of action was lessened. LEHIGH TRACKSTERS BEAT GARNET IN RAIN BY SCORE OF 73 TO 53 Garrett Takes Two of Losers' Four Firsts, as Weather Slows All Performances Winning only four first places in the fourteen events, the Swarthmore College track team went down to defeat before Lehigh by a score of 73 to 53 in a meet held during a steady rain at Bethlehem, Saturday, May 6. „ .CD Sylvester Garrett of Swarthmore was tied for second scoring honors with Reidy of the home tsam, winning both the discus throw and shotput. Casey and Miller of the visitors each took a first and a second. Casey winning the 440 and being barely beaten out in the 220 by Reidy, and Miller winning the mile and taking a very close second to Bayer of Lehigh in the half. Lehigh won six of the eight track events and four of the six field events, though the visitors took all three places in both discus and shotput. Lehigh retaliated by making a clean sweep in both high jump and two-mile run. In spite of the discouraging weather conditions, Casey was able to run a 52.8 quarter.

TENNIS TEAM DOWNS BUCKNELL, 7-1; TWO MATCHES CANCELLED Contests With Sewanee Saturday and Lehigh Monday Cancelled by Rain In a match on the home courts last Friday the Swarthmore Tennis Team defeated Bucknell, 7to 1. The Garnet team took two of the three scheduled doubles and five of the six singles, one being on a default due to the fact that Bucknell brought only five men. The only losing man on the Swarthmore team was Hadley.The summaries are as follows: Lynn, Swarthmore, defeated Englerth, 4-6, 6-4, 6-0; Seide, Bucknell, defeated Hadley, 6-4, 6-3; Albertson, Swarthmore, defeated Boger 11-9, 5-7, 6-2; Reynolds, Swarthmore defeated Green, Bucknell, 6-3, 8-6; Clepper, Swarthmore, defeated Halpern, 6-1, 7-5. Score of singles— Swarthmore 5; Bucknell 1. The doubles were as follows: Lynn and Hadley, Swarthmore, defeated Englerth and .Seide, 9-7, default (rain) ; Albertson and Reynolds, Swarthmore, vs. Boger and Green (called rain; third doubles conceded to Swarthmore on default. Score of doubles—Swarthmore, 2; Bucknell, 0. Final score—Swarthmore, 7; Bucknell, 1. The Sewanee match scheduled for the home courts on Saturday was cancelled because of rain, and the Lehigh match scheduled for Monday at Bethlehem was cancelled for the same reason. WOMEN'S TENNIS TEAM DEFEATS URSINUS, 4-1, ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON Win All But One Match for Second Victory of 1933 Season The Swarthmore women's varsity tennis team journeyed to Collegeville on Friday, May 5 and defeated the Ursinus team, 4-1. This is the second victory in as many contests played for the team. The courts were soft and the matches slow and decidedly uninteresting. Because of the rains during the week, only three courts were usable and so the first and third singles and the first doubles were played first. All these were easy wins for Swarthmore. Of the two contests which were played later Mary Tomlinson, playing second singles, lost to Bertha Francis after taking the first set 6-4, while "Doss" Sonneborn and Jean Harvey easily defeated Dorothy Kehs and Ruth Roth 6-0, 6-2. Rosemont Match Postponed Because of the inclement weather, the match with Rosemont, formerly scheduled for yesterday, had to be postponed. It is possible that the contest will be played Wednesday afternoon, May 10, but plans are not yet definite. The team will meet the William and Mary aggregation on the home courts on Friday afternoon. The summary: I Barbara Chidley (Swarthmore) defeated Marian Bleu, 0-1, 0-2. II Bertha Francis (Ursinus) defeated Mary Tomlinson 4-0, 6-3, 6-3. 111 Betsy Geddes (Swarthmore) defeated Lydia Ganser 0-3, 0-3. I Louisa Stubbs and Margaret Cresson (Swarthmore) defeated Rhea Wheatley and Lillian Barnett 7-5, 0-2. II Doris Sonneborn and Jean Harvey (Swarthmore) defeated Dorothy Kehs and Ruth Roth 0-0, 0-2. 5 SWARTHMORE PHOENIX-—SWARTHMORE, MAY 9,1933 SWARTHMORE ab r. h po a. e- Reward, as . l 8 0 2 Stetson, p ... a 0 2 0 Abramq, 2b 3 1 10 0 Schembs, c. 1 4 0 0 Sipler, lb . 1 17 1 0 Orr, If .... 4 0 0 0 0 Stevens, rf . 3 0 0 0 0 0 Wray. 3b .. 1 0 1 0 0 Harlow, of 0 0 8 0 0 Osbourn. pf 1 Cy 0 0 0 0 Reese, rf . 0 0 0 0 0 88 0 9 27 19 2 HAVBRFORD ■■ ab. r. b. po. a. e.

through their own machine which tried to serve the people honestly. "Well-educated upper-class people often fail in politics because they are unwilling to take their coats off, roll up their sleeves and fight," he said. Football Players Prevent Vote Stealing As for vote stealing, he said, the only thing to do is to stop it. He illustrated this remark by an incident in his own career. At a Republican convention in Madison a few years ago the conservatives intended to deprive the Progressive majority of their votes. Two lumberjacks were brought in by the conservatives for each progressive vote. But for every two lumberjacks the La Follette forces brought in a college football player. When the first fight started the football players proved to be the better boxers by far and from then on there was no trouble. He was asked if he thought there was a chance of forming a Progressive party. "A new political allignment is inevitable", he answered. How it will come or what direction it will take he did not know. Perhaps the Democrats will become the conservative party and perhaps a new party will be. built up, but only the future will tell what the new allignment will be. These and many other interesting responses, some of them which were not to be quoted, were made by this popular young politician who is mentioned as a likely candidate for the Russian Ambassadorship if we recognize Russia in the near future. dividual the depression appears as unmarketable surplus of goods and services. The only course for the individual in this situation is strict economy and curtailment of production, both of which aggravate the situation as a whole by reducing consumption and depriving society of goods for which there is a real need. Collective action is needed to make it possible for those living in a primitive fashion to return to their line of specialization. The government is the only collective agency available to handle the problem. That the government is powerful enough to do this is evidenced by its action in time of war, when $25,000,000,000 vworth of liberty bonds were issued to finance the war, although it seems impossible to secure $5,000,000,000 for unemployment relief today. Taxing Power Useful Group planning is necessary to bridge the gap between producer and consumer, and. the government should use its taxing power, not only for revenue, but also to spread the power to consume goods. Governmental control need not involve a high degree of centralization ; our educational system is an example of an efficient small-units plan. Mr. La Follette advocates a democratic type of governmental control in economic matters which is in accord with our political traditions. He pointed out that inefficiency and corruption are not necessary features of democratic government, and that concentration of authority when necessary is in accord with democratic principles. Trouble in Bookkeeping It is imperative to get the unemployed people back to work at once, in order to stop their return to primitive methods of livelihood. The*;? is plenty of economically sound work to fee done, Mr. La Follette said, to employ everyon—reforestation, road-building, and elimination of the slums. The trouble with America today is in its bookkeeping; the financial structure is relatively unimportant compared to the more pressing problem of getting people back to work. Mr. La Follette was questioned by members of the audience for some time, on the topic of financing work relief and on inflation. The question of the method of financing such an employment movement he declared to be a job for bankers and other financial experts. Concerning inflation, Mr. La Follette pointed out that France, being on a currency basis, has no runs on her banks, whereas we use a credit system in the United States. Credit, according to Mr. La Follette's definition, is "suspicion asleep." When currency is increased merely to support the already existing debt structure and to pay debts, it is not inflation. Devaluation The question of devaluation of the dollar Mr. La Follette believes to be unimportant, since the whole financial situation is not the cause but the result of the general business situation. If a natural demand can be brought about by increasing the purchasing power of the needy, and if goods can be purchased and consumed as a consequence, the financial methods will take care of themselves. When asked how men can be put back to work, Mr. La Follette cited Wisconsin, where he believes that Highway and reforestation programs will furnish ample opportunity for employment for several years. The financing he thinks could be managed by issuance of Federal Reserve notes, even if bonds could not be sold. In response to another question, Mr. La Follette said that the optimum size for economic units varies with different industries, but as the units increase in size, jurisdiction decreases. ALUMNI NOTES Edited by Caroline A. Lukens, '9B (News items concerning alumni or former students should be sent io the Alumni Editor, Swarthmore Phoenix, Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, Pa. They will be gratefully received.) '73—Lowndes Taylor visited college April 24, spending several hours here. He is now living in Philadelphia, though he still keeps his West Chester, Pa., address, P. O. Box 387. The class of '73 has a reunion this year end is remarkable in this—at the end of sixty years, of the six members who were graduated, only one has been claimed by death. It would be fine if the ten living members of the class could be here Alumni Day. '78—Under the leadership of Dr. Edward Martin of Orchard Farm, Media, Pa., the class of '7B is planning a worthwhile reunion, most of the twenty-three living members live near, two have their homes in California and one in Rhode Island. We hope to have a good percentage here. Ex'79-Ex'B3 Caroline Hallowell Worth (Mrs. William Penn Worth) of Coatesville, Pa., expected her sister Elizabeth Hallowell Hoadley (Mrs. Clarence B. Hoadley) of Pasadena, California, to arrive May 6 for a visit, so the class of 'B3 will have at least one member from the Pacific coast at their fiftieth reunion, if all goes well. '88—Three members of the class of 'BB attended the meeting of the Swarthmore Alumnae Club of Philadelphia at Whittier House May 6, Alice HalkPaxson (Mrs. Charles Paxson) 311 Cedar Lane, Swarthmore, Esther Willits Fell, (Mrs. E.

From Michigan he went to Oxford, England, the contrast being very great. He entered the oldest college at Oxford, Merton, and described the activities of a day, every hour from 7 a. Dm. until bed time being filled. He spoke of the beauty of the chapels and remarked that the English past hangs over both Oxford and Cambridge as illustrious Englishmen of preceding centuries were closely associated with them. The idea at Oxford is that it is better to know one or two things well than to have a vague consciousness of many things. He also told of some experiences when Student Secretary of Y. M. C. A. in India and of being later in both Germany and France, returning to this country, studying at Harvard, and returning to Michigan to teach. He has been at Swarthmore longer than at any other place.

INTERFRATERNITY SING TO BE GIVEN SUNDAY; SPONSORED BY COUNCIL A Double Quartet From Each Fraternity and Club Will Compete for Plaque An Interfraternity Sing, the first ever given at Swarthmore, will be held next Sunday evening, May 14, in Clothier Memorial at 6:30. It will be sponsored by the Interfraternity Council in an attempt to stimulate closer relations between the men's fraternities along non-athletic lines. There will be a double quartet representing every fraternity and club, such as the Wharton Club, Kwink, etc., desiring to compete. Each group will sing one fraternity song and one song of free choice. A wooden plaque will be Awarded to the winning group to be held by their organization until a similar contest next year. If any organization wins the plaque for two successive years, it will be entitled to keep it permanently. The judges will be Dean Everett Hunt, Dr. Troyer Anderson, and Dr. Clair Wilcox. It is the hope of the Interfraternity Council that the success of this year's sing will excite great enthusiasm for next year's affair and that the Annual Interfraternity Sing will become a permanent institution which will tend to draw interfraternity relations away from a strictly athletic basis. If the interest shown this year warrants it, the Council plans enlarging the competing groups to about fifteen. DR. HULL ATTENDS MEETING OF AMERICAN LAW SOCIETY Dr. William I.
