MR. W. G. SIMPSON WILL
SPEAK AT BRYN MAWR
Endeavors to Live Out Own Social
Doctrine
"If we arc to have a better world, we
must have better people," says Mr. Wil-
liam G. Simpson, individualist and pacifist,
who will speak under the auspices of the
Christian Association,' on April .9th at 7.30
o'clock, in Taylor Hall.
Mr. Simpson maintains that each indi-
vidual should live according to his own
standards of right. He, himself, is against
the possession of private property, and
considers war to be contrary to the funda-
mental principles of Christ. He feels that
instead of resisting evil, we should search
out and emphasize the good. Only when
every' one loves his neighbor as himself
will the "community of love" or the ideal
world be able to exist. Mr. Simpson after
graduating from Union Seminary went to
a small church in one of the worst indus-
trial districts of New Jersey. In the fall
of 1918 he was formed to resign from his
church on account of his pacifism. He says
moreocver that even had there been no
war, he no longer felt able to preach, "to
make a sale of what had been, God's free
gift," or "to serve an institution acquiescing

MISS PARK SPEAKS AT
FELLOWSHIP DINNER
Stresses   Graduate   School and   Its
Great Contribution to Bryn Mawr
President Park addressed the graduates
at their dinner in Pembroke, given in honor
of the recipients of the European Fellow-
ships, Friday evenipg,
"My speech," she said, "must begin with
renewed and yet warmer congratulations to
the three new graduate European Fellows
on flic year that lies ahead of them. 1 think
with delight of their happy journeys by
tea and land, of their long adventurous
days, in the new lecture rooms and libraries,
of their experiences, their discoveries and
their rewards. When my own mind dwells
on a winter in Athens broken with voyages
through blue Aegean islands and journeys
on foot, on bicycle or on horseback through
be mountains and"uplands of inland Greece,
I feel almost sorry to know of their stern
determination to stay in workaday Fngland
or France, but I realize honestly that their
memories have every chance of being as
glowing as mine.
"When at the instance of President
Thomas the graduate school was established
simultaneously with the undergraduate col-
lege at Bryn Mawr, she made what seems
to me perhaps her wisest contribution to
women's education in America.- Adequate
undergraduate education for women was
hard enough to get in 1885; graduate in
struction was impossible. The mature
woman student could neither work iu the
lecture room or laboratory where she
wanted to work nor be supervised by the
professor whose instruction she wished to
follow. With her own experiences of
graduate work in Germany and in Paris
fresh in her mind, experiences which seem
to us now almost romantic, Miss Thomas
threw open to the college graduate an op-
portunity for "graduate work solid and at
the same time stirring. She saw the need
in women's education for immediate con-
tact with scientific accuracy, with intellec-
tual truth. And in the years that have
seen increasing undergraduate opportuni-
ties open to women we have many of us
tell  that  in the graduate seminary or the

FRENCH PROFESSOR EXPLAINS
ART OF MARCEL PROUST
Novelist   Completes   Sub-Conscious
Tendency  in French Literature
Speaking 'under the auspices of the
French Club, Mademoiselle Marguerite
Clement, of the l.ycee Victor Duruy, lec-
tured on the work of Marcel Proust in
Taylor Hall, Saturday evening.
Marcel Proust, she began, is certainly
one of the most far-reaching minds French
literature has -known. For twenty, years
he contented himself with the admiration
of a small group, making no effort to reach
greater fame. He lived and wrote-at night,
shunning the daylight in a room hung in
black and lined with cork to keep out
sound. His work shows concentrated study
of a few characters in limited surroundings
and he stands as ;in example of seclusion
and concentration very rare in our times of
noisy movement  and scattered attention.
One may take exception to an absence
of morality in his work which is based on
the conviction that mere existence renders
anything legitimate and worthy of study.
Marcel Proust, unlike Anatole Prance, who
describes life with irony, or Alphonse Dau-
det, who describes tit with pity, looks on
and refuses to pass judgment. Although a
bitter enemy of sham he conflicts with our
ingrained sense that vice shatters the soul,
and his art is so powerful that he shakes
our conviction.
Proust himself was not immoral and
won ardent and admiring friends IP
shows in nil books that he detests malice,
baseness, and snobbery,
The general title of his wosli: A la
Reeherchc du Temps Perdu, has a wide
significance. It implies that time, lost in
being passed and lived through, may be
found again, held, and, if one is an artist,
expressed as more vivid than it seemed in
actuality, through imagination, memory and
reflection. Life emerges from this process
treed of what is unnecessary, and more
intense.
Marcel Proust, unlike other writers,
chooses to note every day life in its full
complexity and continuity. He would ex-
press his whole mental activity at a given

VARSITY DEFEATS TEMPLE
IN SEASON'S FASTEST GAME
Sweeping  Victory Due to  Scientific
Teamwork of Bryn Mawr
Varsity triumphed overwhelmingly with
a score of 41-18 in the basketball game
against Temple I'niversity on Saturday
afternoon.
Itoth teams played a fasj game during
the first half and the ball passed rapidly
up and down Ihc field with little fouling.
Bryn Mawr used short low passes, which
proved more effective than the longer ones
of the opposing team, but was outjumped
in the center where Temple got the ball
nearly every time. C. Remak, '25. and F.
Jay. '26,. were an invincible combination as
forwards, the latter shooting several bril-
liant goals from difficult positions while the
unerring placement of C Uemak rolled
the  score  steadily  higher.
The second half started with a snap and
Temple playing with speed made a desper-
ate effort to even the score. While they
made spectacular individual plays the
evener teamwork of Bryn Mawr kept the
ball steadily heading toward the home bas-
ket, and S. Leewitz, '24, as guard success-
fully blocked her forward from scoring.
Both teams fumbled frequently and the ball
rolling along the ground proved an incen-
tive for an indiscriminate roughheusc. As
the end approached the shooting and play-
ing increased in wildness, though the Bryn
