PUPIL OF STZYGOWSKI TO
TEACH HISTORY OF ART
Professor Diez, Authority on Media-
eval Architecture to Come Here
Professor Ernest Diez, who is to be an
instructor in history of art^at Bryn Mawr
next year, is now professor extraordinary
at the University of Vienna. He is a
pupil of Stzygowski, the most important
living authority on medieval architecture.
It was Stzygowski who launched on
the world a quarter of a century ago the
great problem "Orient oder Rome." Be-
fore this time, everyone had assumed that
all medieval European art derived from
Rome. Processor Stzygowski took back
the sources of all prc-romanesquc art to
Constantinople, then moved back to
Alexandria and Coptic Egypt, then to
Mesopotamia, and  finally to Armenia.
In 1!)18 he published a "disconnecting
boOk" on architecture in Armenia and
Europe, lie showed that the Armenians,
by their historical and geological condi-
tions, were forced to invent a type of
domed architecture for their little
churches, from which Europe was to
borrow freely. The Armenians were al-
ways being persecuted, and carrying their
architecture into exile wtih them. Since
that time. Professor Stzygowski has
pushed his investigations into the great
Iranian plateau and the Altai region of
central Asia, and showed how decorative
motifs took form there and were carried
east  to China and west to the  Mcditcr-

EFFECT OF SUMMER SCHOOL
TO BE SUBJECT OF SURVEY
Questionnaire Will Go To  500 Who
Have Been Students Here
A comprehensive survey to determine
exactly how education affects the lives
of working women who have sought in
adult life those things of the mind and
spirit denied them in their youth will be
begun this spring by the Summer School
for Women Workers in Industry at Bryn
Mawr College.
Announcement of this was made today
by Miss Qara I. Taylor, Acting Director
of the Summer School, together with the
announcement that $0000 granted by the
Carnegie Foundation had made the sur-
vey possible. It is expected that a similar
5nm will be given next year to continue
the work.
In making the award, Frederick Kcp-
pel, of the Carnegie Foundation, declared,
"By all odds the most effective teaching
nf adults was in a class of working girls
conducted last summer at   Bryn  Mawr."

"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy-
self" was the subject of the sermon by
the Reverend Albert Cohoe. D. D., pastor
of the First Baptist Church of Montclair,
\. J.. in Sunday evening chapel, April
25th.
This word of Jesus, which contains no
theological doctrine nor racial prejudice,
has become the populfe symbol for
Christianity. That is. it is what we have
in mind when we call a man a real
Christian. A man who is known as un-
christian is a man who is lacking in dis-
criminating kindness, in reverence for
personality.
"The question which I wish to take up
tonight," said Dr. Cohoe. "is the value of
this doctrine as a rule of life. In this
connection there arc three ways of look-
ing at- it. the first two being worthless, but
the last of infinite value."
The first way of regarding the doctrine:
"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy-
self" is to take it as an ideal, in other
words as a pattern for someone else.
The sort of idealists who do this are the
theoretical paci6sts and "parlor bolshcv-
ists." who hold the highest conceptions of
what the world ought to be, but do not
move a finger to improve it; since putting
ideals into practice involves compromise,
to which they scorn to stoop. This sort
of attitude is very dangerous because it
gives a man a virtuous feeling of being
on the side of the best, at the same time
relieving him of all responsibility for
bringing about the best.
The second way of looking at the
Christian doctrine is as a sort of counsel
of  perfection,  an  obligation too  high  to

Dr. Cadbury Will Give
(Specially contributed by the C. A. Board)
Attention! all you weary waitc/s outside
the office of the Dean!
The Christian Association would like to
call your attention to the new and interesting
fields that are being opened to us by the
appointment of Dr. Henry J. Cadbury as
professor of Biblical Literature.
Even those in whom this subject arouses
little responsive spark, cannot fail to find
interest in the courses offered, as the per-
sonality of Dr. Cadbury himself is both
provocative to student thought and evoca-
tive of student  ideas.
The new courses are:
1.    N*W Testament Introduction. 2 hours
a week; a general study of the character
and origin of New Testament writings.
2.     The Religion of Isaiah. :i hpurs a week
during the first semester; a survey of the
development of religious ideas and practices
among the Hebrews during the early mon-
archy under the influence of the prophets,
and in the beginnings of Judaism.
:t. The Life $>d Tcachituis of Jesus, 8
hours a week during the second semester;
a discussion of the principal problems pre-
sented by the Gospels for the recover* of
an understanding i>f the career and charac-
ter of Jesus of Nazareth.
4. Social Ideals of the NiW Testament. 1
lioiir a week during the first semester.
ft. Moral Ideals of the Old Testament, 1
hour a week during the second semester.
Dr. Cadbury began his career as a Master
in the Westtown School. In the field of
Biblical Literature he has held the positions
of Instructor. Assistant Professor, and As-
sociate Professor at Haverford College from

The shades of Gilbert and Sullivan must
have gone away from the Glee Club's per-
formances of the "Mikado" in the Gym-
nasium last Friday and Saturday nights with
a distinct sense of satisfaction. For those
who had seen the "Pirates of Penzance"
last year this presentation equaled, if it did
not surpass, their expectations. It is hard
to think of any work that could have been
more successfully and suitably adapted to
the Glee nub's material.
Scenically speaking, the production was a
masterpiece. The first glimpse of sugary
mountains against a flaming sky and the
final panorama of Ko-Ko's incomparable
garden were beyond criticism The town of
Titipu expressed a decided exotic personal-
ity. Unlimited praise is due to the scenery
and costume committees for the general
color schemes. From the green splendor of
Pish-Tush's imposing kimona to the scarlet
rose bobbing above the Mikado's majestic
brow every detail was perfect.

RECENT ERUPTION OF MAUNA

Lava  |f  Flowing  In New Direction
From Very Easily Fathomed Crater
Dr. M. H. Bissel in Friday morning
chapel. April 2.1, spoke confidently and reas-
suringly of the recent eruption of the
Hawaiian volcano of Mauna Loa.
The crater of Mauna Loa. Dr. Bissel said,
is a very interesting one. It is situated on
Ihc summit of a mountain, on whose flank,
about twentv miles distant, there is another
Crater, Kitauea These two craters act quite
independently of each other, a fact which
demolishes the old idea that volcanoes are a
safety valve connecting with a central mass
of fiery liquid in the interior of the earth.
For if this were so. these two volcanoes, so
near together, would certainly erupt at the
same time.
Mauna Loa ami Kilauea. according to Ur.
p.issel. are ve, v safe and sane volcanoes.
Their eruptions are never "***�"*
cinders or bv violent explosions, but the ho
lav� merely bubbles �d splu-ers until it
quietly boils over and flows down the moun-
tain side.                                                          ^
