    Education Department Wants
    to Test Large Number
    to Prove Theory.

    PRIZES AND .RESULTS.

    (Specially contributed by (Dr. Agnes
    Rogers).

    One of the crucial issues today in
    the field of higher education concerns the
    limit of intelligence development. Does
    the mind cease to mature at sixteen, as
    the Stanford-Revision of the Benet-
    Simon scale, the most widely used in-
    dividual test of intelligence in the United
    States, implies? Or does mental growth
    go on to the age of tg Aa or even into
    the thirties ?

    . Bryn Mawr College has the privilege
    of showing what the truth about mental
    development between 18, 19, 20 and 21 is
    for a selected group of college women.
    Professor Thorndike, of Columbia Uni-
    versity, has given the material for the
    study. It represents in money a gift of.
    $300, in actual market value. But this
    value is far outweighed by the scientific
    value, for the examinations represent the
    product of research covel ing a period of:
    twenty-five years.

    Students to Be Told Results.

    To take the test means three and a
    half hours of strenuous mental effort,
    but the knowledge attained about oneself
    cannot be bought at any price from any
    person. The opinions of individuals,
    however estimable are subjective, influ-
    enced by superficialities such as personal
    appearance, manners and accidental en-
    counters, pleasing or painful. The great
    value of the Thorndike Examination is
    that it measures what it measures in a
    reliable fashion and independently of the
    judgment of the examiner. To discover
    the truth about one’s own powers, evefi
    for such a limited selection of them as
    the Thorndike Examination provides, is
    to increase one’s mastery over destiny it-
    self,

    The results of the application of the
    test will be published. ‘The amount of
    evelopment for- this efoup of college

    <h



    of the amount of improvement in the
    1927 score over the earlier score, allow-

    such as practice in taking the test. Each
    student’s own score and improvement in
    score will be communicated to her alone
    and interpreted in a personal interview.
    Only sophomores, juniors and seniors
    are to be tested.

    Religion in China.

    Mrs. Edward Howe, who spoke in
    chapel on Wednesday morning, Novem-
    ber 9, gave a short talk on the Christian
    School in Canton, China.

    “The first time 1 saw Lui Fung Kei,”
    said. Mrs. Howe, “she was a little girl
    with pigtails in the Canton Christian
    School. Her father thought that all girls
    should be educated, although the problem
    was a difficult one in a family of nine
    girls and one boy.

    “The next time I saw her she was a
    student at Bryn Mawr. She had bobbed
    her hair and assimilated many American-
    mannerisms. Now she is back in China

    MONET EXCELLED
    PAINTING LIGHT

    With Cezanne and Picasso He
    Started School of Im-

    pressionism .

    LIVED FOR AN IDEAL

    ‘> ;









    -On ‘Thursday evening, November 10,
    a lecture on Claude Monet was given by
    M. Desclos. M. Desclos, who is the
    assistant director of the “Office Nation-
    ale des Universites,” spoke in Taylor
    Hall; his lecture was fully illustrated by
    lantern slides. .

    There are examples of Monet’s work
    in both Chicago and Boston. It is im-
    possible, however, ‘to understand his con-

    Monet Museum in Paris. In this build-
    ing are contained the series of Monet’s
    last work. It represents the fifth period
    of his artistic development, and it is
    particularly significant in his compre-
    hension of light reflected in water.
    These pictures have been well placed in
    the museum by M. Lefevre, who is him-

    ‘}self an artist.

    Early Art Was Religious.

    M. Desclos gave an historical back-
    ground to his lecture by emphasizing the
    development of art before the time of
    Monet, by enlarging upon the artistic
    influences which helped to form Monet,
    and, finally, by analyzing the five periods
    of Monet’s own work. Early art was
    almost all religious; aesceticism was its
    chief interest. During the Renaissance
    life itself became broader in scope, and
    art expanded accordingly; it was no
    longer so strict in choice of subject
    matter. During this time there was an
    intérest in movement and color, as well
    as numerous experiments in landscape
    painting. During the seventeenth cen-

    to a preconceived idea; form is made to
    harmonize with subject matter, and it is
    a period of idealization, a curious mix
    ture of realism and convention. Later,
    in Holland, comes the revolt against dog-
    matic art. .The wealthy bourgeois did
    not care for religious paintings, and, like
    Sam Weller, they disliked figures of
    “Wenus and like nonsense.” “La realite
    modeste,” pictures of familiar things be-
    came most popular. This is the most
    banal of reality. “Pas de dieux, ni de
    heros, rien que le sentiment de la na-
    ture.”

    Between 1830 and 1860 flourished the
    School of Barbizon in France. It
    showed the direct influence of such Eng-
    lish painters as Constable, and among
    its numbers may be included such names
    as Rousseau, D’Aubigny, Carot, Mauet,
    Millet, and Courbet. They were inter-

    FINAL SCORE WAS 8 TO |

    In spite of thé gathering twilight,
    Varsity fought its way. to victory over
    Swarthmore on Friday with.a score of
    8-1,.cheered on by enthusiastic supporters.
    The Bryn Mawr team made a better
    showing than usual, probably due to the
    fact that Swarthmore was slower: than the
    veteran club teams we have met. this sea-
    son. For this reason the Varsity forward
    line was more successful in using dodges
    and in breaking through the Swarthmore
    defense. The Bryn Mawr backfield was

    and followed up. her shots with vigor,
    while Hirschberg and Balch would have
    been more effective if they had not inter-
    fered with one another.

    Though deprived of some of their best
    players by Varsity’s devastating stick-
    work, Swarthmore put up a good fight
    until the end. -Rushing a goal in the
    second half, they avoided the ignominy
    of a scoreless defeat.

    The line-up was:

    Swarthmore—Vaughan, Hinlock, Har-
    per, Walton*, Richards, Tily, Jackson,
    Cleaver, Kennedy, Calwell, Seaman.

    Lake Speaks on _ Discoveries.
    Phoenicians Antedated
    Now.



    The speaker in chapel on Tuesday
    morning, November 8, was the Rev.
    Kirsopp Lake, Professor of Ecclesiastical
    History at Harvard University, who
    spoke most interestingly on his. experi-
    ences at Mount Sinai.

    “When we reached Cairo,” Dr. Lake
    began, “a friend asked us if we would
    stop at the monastery, ‘on our way back
    from Sinai, and pick up the fragmentary
    inscriptions which were left there in
    1906. We agreed only after long con-
    sideration, for Sinai is a triangle of
    wilderness.. There is little water in the
    vicinity and few easy paths to the monas-
    tery.

    Moses Writes to Pharaoh’s Daughter.

    “The journey proved to be very diffi-
    cult. It took eleven days by camel, at the
    end of which we felt we knew all about
    camel riding. The last human being
    there had come in 1906 and had copied
    the inscriptions in the temple there. Some
    he found so badly written that copying
    was impossible, so these were left. . The
    Egyptian words he was able to interpret,
    but the otHers he could only guess were
    Semitic. Later a German translated these
    discoveries and found, curiously enough,
    that they were a correspondence between
    Moses and one of Pharaoh’s daughters.
    These translations known as the Moses
    Inscription, as might be expected, were
    great news for the Berlin newspapers. It
    was the fragments of these, which were
    left in 1906, that we were asked to bring
    back.

    “We found them -easily enough and
    at once began to make them ready for
    transportation. Most of them needed
    trimming ‘before they could be placed on
    the camels. Photographs were taken of
    each one Before it was packed. All this
    proved a ‘very pleasant occupation in a

    temperature of 115 degrees F.
    “As neither of us knew the Semitic

    Freshman Officers -

    Thompson, Baer and Caparn
    fie Chosen After Lengthy
    Debate. °

    ¥ ‘



    After a long sttuggle, 1931,was at last
    able to make up its mind on the subject
    of Class officers. Emulating their elders,
    they spent several days about it; two
    whole meetings, indeed, were necessary
    before they could decide on their- Presi-
    dent! Caroline Thompson was elected,
    and considering her school record, one
    wonders why they took so long over it.

    Miss Thompson is a graduate of Miss

    dent of Student Government, an Associa-
    tion with which she was connected for
    several years. She was also prominent in
    athletics, playing on the hockey and
    basketball teams. :

    The two other officers were elected
    with less difficulty at a meeting held Mon-
    day, November 14. They are Elizabeth
    Baer, Vice President, and Rhys Caparn,
    Secretary.

    ‘Miss Baer comes from the Bryn Mawr
    School; and was President of the Senior
    Class there.

    Miss Caparn was prominent at Brear-
    ley, and entered college with a scholar-
    ship. All the officers have had turns in
    running the class; they were /all_on the
    Freshman Committee for the first weeks
    of college.



    Women Require Training
    to Compete in Politics
    Mrs. Carroll Miller, of Pittsburgh,
    spoke in Chapel on Monday, November
    14, on “Women in Politics.” Women
    should consider politics, she said, not as
    a vocation but as an avocation, and they
    should be thoroughly trained for the field
    ‘before they attempt to enter it.

    Mrs, Miller herself has been in politics
    since 1920, when she spoke in the cam-
    paign of that year. In her varied experi-
    ence of seven years, what she noticed
    chiefly was, that the women of the coun-
    try, unlike the men, are not as a whole
    interested in politics, But the chief rea-
    son for their disrepute is that it is the
    failures who are prominent: you hear of
    “Ma” Ferguson, but not of one of
    Wyoming’s best Governors, Nelly Ross;
    of Mrs. Knapp’s mismanagement in New
    York, but not of the many other women
    who have successfully controlled | large
    sums of money.

    “Women are always in a hurry to
    achieve their ends,” said Mrs. Miller.
    “They try to take a short cut. That is
    why they are so much in favor of cen-
    tralization; instead of starting at the
    bottom, they think they can get things
    done by going straight to headquarters.
    Although they did not have the yote at
    the time of the Kighteenth Amendment,
    they are.probably largely responsible for
    the passing of a piece of legislation that
    has been the cause of more graft than

    Labor Amendment is. another plank on
    which they insist, not realizing that cen-
    tralization will eventually cause the
    break-up of our type of government.
    “Politics is an old game and the men
    in it are clever, well-trained, sometimes
    unscrupulous. Before women. can hope |d
    to compete with them, it is‘necessary oan

    S' ARTHMORE AND MERION TEAMS
    FALL ‘BEFORE TRIUMPHANT VARSITY

    bilveclibiaiid Sars tk in Gathe Dis-
    tinguished for Its
    Teamwork.

    MERION IS OUTPLAYED ’

    Prospects for next week’s» game with
    All-Philadelphia are not so gloomy as
    they were two weeks ago since Varsity
    defeated the Merion Cricket Club, on
    Saturday morning, 4-0,

    The outstanding feature of the game
    was the splendid ‘work done by Hirsch-
    berg in checking Anne Townsend. Time
    and time again, that swift forward eluded _
    her oppofent but lost the ball to Kate—
    who always seethed to be where she was
    needed.

    The first half began with a series of
    rushes up and down the field, then a long
    run by Tuttle almost gave Varsity a goal,
    That was Bryn
    Mawr’s greatest weakness all morning—
    no ability to push the ball in, though they
    brought it to. the striking circle many
    times.

    The first goal was made shortly after
    this by Guiterman. Varsity was now on
    the offensive, where it remained for most
    of the time: The ball was continuously at
    Merion’s end of the -field where their
    backs did good work, only to be outdone
    by our forwards returning to the attack.

    After the second goal by Longstreth, '
    the game opened up somewhat with sey-
    eral long runs down the field by both
    sides. Bruere was given a chance to
    make several good clears, but on the
    whole she was not pressed hard.

    Both teams were bothered by the heat
    which was almost oppressive. This made
    the playing of the second half a bit less
    purposeful and more fouls and roll-ins
    occurred. .

    The second half began with an im-
    mediate drive on the part of Varsity, re-
    sulting after a short scuffle in a goal by
    Wills. ' The final goal was made by
    Guiterman,

    There seemed to be a chance of Mer-
    ion’s scoring when Atne Townsend made
    a pretty shot on a penalty corner, but
    it missed, by inches.

    Qn the whole, Varsity seems to be
    developing more team work. The in-
    dividuals while playing a good game still,
    seem to be more conscious of one an-
    other. There is more co-operation.

    Balch, who has been only a substitute,
    did some good work, but Hamilton at
    center-half, while she distributed the play
    well, was slow in getting- on the ball, and
    weak in hitting it.

    The line-up was as follows:

    Merion Cricket Club—Mrs. Smith, S.
    Carson, Mrs. Madeira, K. Rolin, A. Page,
    B. Holman, E. Foster,’ A. Townsend,
    Daly, Byron.

    Varsity—A. Bruere, ’28; K. Hirsch-
    berg, 30; A. Brown, ’30; C. Hamilton,
    grad.; B. Freeman, ’29; H. Tuttle, ’28;
    H. Guiterman**, ’28; R. Wills*, ’29; S.
    Longstreth*, ’30; B. Loines, ’28.

    THESE VERMIN

    There are disadvantages to cold
    weather. It may bring relief from
    the flies and mosquitoes that
    plague us, but with.it comes a
    horde of the smaller rodents. If
    there are no insects; there are
    mice.

    We became aware of their pres-

    ence by that well-known scratch-]

    img in the dead of night,- timid at
    first, but increasing in volume as

    more food accumulates in the
    scrap-basket. Finally, secure in
    their freedom from attack, the mice
    venture forth in the day-time, so
    that it is not at all unusual for the
    innocent student to find one sit-
    timg passively on her bureau nib-

    bling at her toothbrush or inves- |

    tigating her cold. cream.

    In a shortage, of big game equip-
    ment, we have heard of one cour-
    ageous person who threw a scrap-
    basket plus mouse out of the
    window in frantic haste. (The

    mouse fell out on -the-way:)|~

    Another caught one of the vermin
    in a cracker box, set on the floor
    as a trap, and drowned it in a
    sauce-pan.

    From this experience we have
    no doubt that many will go forth
    from Bryn Mawr to bring terror
    into the hearts of the African lions
    and tigers.

    it is with a tremendous. feeling
    of relief and a renewed enthusiasm
    that we hear rumors of the reju-

    why, ina college so full of people
    with the urge to write, we have
    not: been able to have a literary
    magazine which held our interest
    and roused our admiration. We
    all know people: who write, we all

    in some mysterious. fashion, the
    former group alone is known to
    the Lantern Board, the latter has

    “, Traveled.

    Not long Ta a ‘certain Lady was
    motoring, and in, the cofir
    was forced to put up at ar int for the
    night. _When she-redched her “room she
    found that it contained twin beds. Thig
    was not a remarkable’ circumstance; in
    fact, nothing would have come of it at
    all haf’ she not been of an exceptionally }
    neat. disposition. As it was, when she
    came into the room and saw the two
    beds, she’ said* to herself: “Now, . I
    mustn’t git on the bed I am not going
    to sleep in. It would be a, shame to
    muss up two beds.” :

    With that the. trouble began.
    bed should she sleep in?

    The,one nearest the wall was perhaps
    cozier, and might, :in truth, be warmer.
    But the one nearest the door had a great
    advantage in case of fire; there was no.
    obstruction between it and the nearest
    exit.
    She went over these, and other argu-
    ments, until she was fairly distraught.

    “This is a dilemma,” she said to her-
    self; “I will decide it by the light. 1
    shall sleep in the one in which I can get
    Whe, light over my—right—left—right ?
    Heavens, which shoulder-should it be?”
    She was much too upset to remember.

    It was getting late,-so she made up
    her mind to undress, and then be guided
    by instinct. At last she stood ready,
    between the beds, her hand on the elec-
    tric light. She turned -it- out.
    holding her breath and closing her eyes,
    she sank down slowly, pulled the covers
    up and lay a minute, oblivious.

    She jumped up with a
    Now let‘ me see



    Which

    “Hurray !”
    shout. “I’ve done it!
    which bed I’m in.”

    ‘Painfully, she realized that she was
    in neither. She had sunk onté the floor
    between, and had the rug around her
    shoulders,

    Sadly, she got up, faced with the
    awful problem of making the decision.
    Khe turned on the light again, placed a
    chair facing the two beds, and sat down
    to give her whdle attention to the ques-
    tion. Over and over the arguments she
    went, almost deciding in favor of one.
    and then changing rapidly in favor of
    the other,

    the east the dawn slowly broke over the
    mountains. The sun gradually ‘dimmed
    the effect of the light, and still she was
    undecided, Finally the village clock
    chimed eight.

    Rising, with a sigh of relief, she faced
    the beds. “At least,” she cried, triumph-
    antly, “that is one decision I shall never
    Lhave to complete.” ;

    WINS LIFE-SAVING MEDAL —







    His
    theme was that moreof the English poets
    Ifave gone to Cambridge than to Oxford
    and. he endeavored to explain why.

    Miss Park, in,. introducing him, _re-
    marked that Bryn Mawr has always been
    fond of poetry and that we have a com-
    mon student background with these poets.
    Mr. Davison is himself a graduate of St.
    John’s, Cambridge, which, he admitted
    made him speak with considerable bias.

    He explained that poets choosing their
    college, chose, much as athletes here to-
    day choose the college with the best foot-
    ball record, the one with the best batting
    average for poets.

    By the middle of the 17th century,
    Cambridge was well in the lead—a superi-
    ority she has never relinquished. Most of

    had gone to Cambridge. The roster
    through the ages is very long. “Of the
    great poets, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Keats,
    Browning and Pope went to no college.
    Raleigh, Peele, Donne, Milton, Vaughan,
    Herrick, Crashaw, Prior, Wil-
    Wordsworth,

    Dryden,

    liam Mason, Tennyson,

    went @ Cambridge.

    “In the Victorian days,
    very well—Arnold, Morris, Swinburne
    all went there. And earlier, there
    was: Shelley. But these few names sink
    into comparative insignificance beside our
    brilliant list.” Others which Mr. Davison

    Oxford did

    Wyatt, Greene and.Gray. “No’other uni-
    versity can show the equal in quality or
    quantity. This is surely extraordinary—
    coincidence fails to explain it.”

    Reason Is Traditional Intoxication.

    Mr. Davison’s explanation that the
    tradition of poetry at Cambridge, which is
    inextricably mixed with another tradition,
    that of strong drink, combines to make
    an intoxication no budding poet—and
    many who have no gift—can understand.

    As an example of what he meant he
    quoted Wordsworth, who came up a
    “fresh young boy, filled with life, who
    lived like any other undergraduate but
    was driven by the spirit of Milton into
    this double intoxication.” Mr. Davison
    read some of the Prelude to stress his
    point.

    “Each as they came. added to an al-
    ready tich tradition. They vathed in the
    same pools, and walked the same paths;
    the old poets are very much with the new

    ‘lat Cambridge.”

    Mr. Davison told of his own under-
    graduate experience with the intoxication
    of poetry and read three sonnets that he
    had written under’ its spell,

    Cambridge ‘Geologically ‘Poetic.

    “Oxford is different,” he went on, “it
    is harder, something that makes for
    prose and politics. I must admit, how-
    ever, that the poetry written about Ox-
    ford’ is better than that written about
    Cambridge. This is due entirely to the
    geological formation of the Jand. One can
    see Oxford from a hill while Cambridge-
    shire is very flat. The greatest English
    anthology, the Oxford Book of English
    Verse, is edited there it is true, but it is a
    monument to Cambridge men.”

    ously of his own verse. Some of this,
    under. the title Harvest of Youth, has
    been published here by Harpers.

    Individual Responsibility Can-
    not Be Shifted to -
    Others.



    “What part, exactly, da.we take in |.

    working out the religion of the world?”
    asked the Rev. William Pierson Merrill
    in Chapel, on Sunday evening, Novem-
    ber 13. :

    “Are we able, by the ‘strength of our
    souls, to master the giant mechanisms
    which we have released? Or will they
    eventually become the masters and wé
    the slaves? ‘Bre need for some kind of
    practical religion is great among the
    modern conditions of life,

    “Wher&, then, can re religion,to
    fill our present day nee Most. people
    feel that it is the problem of®the Church
    and thereby feel their comtscienpes freed
    from all responsibility. It is a Character-
    istic of the age that people should strive
    to shift the responsibility from their own
    shoulders. Instead of gathering in
    groups to ‘sing of an evening,’ we turn
    ou the radio. In short, we are becoming
    a people who are willing to‘ sit back and
    _let professionals do for us the things we
    have hitherto done ourselves.

    “Religion and _ politics are two phases
    of life which must be carried on by the
    individual himself and cannot be shifted
    to someone el:e. There have been sug-
    gestions to the effect that the Rotary
    Clubs of the country afe concocting ‘an
    American religion for American people.’
    We hope this is not authentic.

    “One of the greatest problems of re-
    ligion is the fact that the young people
    of today feel they have no place in it.
    The fact is, however, that every educated
    man and woman has a sacred duty to-
    ward religion. Every one should work

    honestly with a sense of personal re- |.

    sponsibility.

    ,“The greatest guide for us in assuming
    this task is to realize that what we need
    is not a new religion, but a clearing up of:
    the age-old and age-tried Christianity, It
    ig not even decent for a man to receive
    an education, if he has not sometime be-
    fore he graduates from college examined
    the facts about Christ and come to some
    definite conclusion concerning them.

    True religion is what we need to con-
    quer the massive forces of modern
    civilization.



    Biducational Clinic at
    Thorne School Thrives

    The. work of the Educational Clinic.
    under the direction-of the Education De-
    partment of Bryn Mawr College is being:
    . developed and extended. It has been
    sponsored this year by the: Parents’ As-
    _sociation of the ‘Thorne: School and is
    -held on the first floor of Cartref, one of
    the school buildings. All the pupils of
    the Thorne School receive the benefit of
    individual examinations under the direc-
    tion of this clinic, which also supervises
    the survey of educational attainment by
    group tests for the school. ‘There will
    also be a general psychological service
    extended to all schools which will in-
    clude the giving-.of individual .examina-
    tions for purposes of educational guid-
    ance and placement. Analysis will be
    made of the individual disabilities of
    pupils who are having special difficulties
    with school work.

    For Binet-Simon mental examinations
    the fee is $15. For gjagnosis of special
    educational deficiencies and prescription
    ef remedies and for supervision of treat-
    ment, the fee varies from $30 up im pro-
    portion to the time required. It is possi-
    ble to arrange through the clinic for the
    administration of group. tests, either with
    a view to reclassification of.pupils, or for
    measuring their achievement in terms of
    standards determined for comparable
    schools. For the administration of group
    tests the cost will vary with the length of
    the test 4nd the number of pupils. The
    charge for furnishing test material, for
    giving and scoring tests will be approxi-
    mately $1.50 for an hour test per pupil,
    and in proportion for longer tests.

    The staff of the clinic includes Pro-
    fessor Agnes L. Rogers, Director, Pro-
    fessor of Education and Psychology in
    Bryn. Mawr College; Miss Ella M.
    Gardner, Assistant Director, who will
    ' specialize in the placement of children in
    their proper groups for purposes of ‘n-
    struction and social adjustment, and Dr.
    Ilse Forest, Associate in the Department
    of Education. specialist in the examina-
    ~tion of the pre-school child. In addition
    the clinic will have the services of a medi-
    cal consultant and other special con-
    sultants. Miss Gardner will have charge
    ‘ of-the usual mental examinations given.

    Hard to Gaih Publicity,

    is 1857 Monet went to Paris. There
    the artistic public’ opinion was moulded
    entirely by ‘the conventional members of
    the Academie des Beaux “Arts; such a
    man as Monet was forced to ‘hold a
    private salon, 6r not get his works before
    the public. : With Renoir the young
    artist set off for Switzerland and free?
    ¢om. There they met Cezanne, Piscasso,

    &

    dépéendent, truth-seeking ‘Painters who7
    founded»the Impressionist school. They
    were interested only in art, .and each
    did his own téchnical. research, so that,
    although fundamentally the work of the
    group: expounded the same artistic theo-
    ries, still each artist developed in his
    individual way. In 1874 the group held
    their first exhibition; the critics, of
    course, did not approve. However, by
    1885 the battle had been partially won,
    and in 1888 Monet gave a private exhibi-
    tion. Among the distinguished -gnreup
    who first recognized the merits of this
    work were Zola, Daudet, and Clemen-
    ceau, who was a life-long . friend’ of
    Monet’s.

    The first period of Monet’s work is
    that which shows the -influence of Cour-
    bet and Manet. He paints interiors and
    portraits, in which the design and com-
    position are excellent, and the colors
    rich, During this period, too, come his
    earliest landscapes.

    Uses Only Six Colors.

    In about 1876 we come upon Monet’s
    great period of work; he has absorbed
    the external influences, and he reflects
    only the impressions which he has_re-
    ceived directly. Too, Monet has now
    learned the secrets of light which are
    to impart the most individuality to his
    work. He uses only six colors, and still

    he realizes resfilts from a cothbination
    of the- oo colors. To pass
    from Rousseau. to Monet, said M. Des-
    clos, is to go from a dafk hall into the
    bright open’ sunlight. During the se¢-
    ond and third periods of his work Monet
    ccentinues to experiment in painting sun-
    light, and he finally reaches the point
    wherét-he is even able to paint the sun‘s
    rays. By means of “petites touches de
    couleur~pur” he gives to his pictures an
    unusual clarity; though he knows what
    the color of a thing actually is, he paints
    it just exactly as it appears to him. In
    order to do this he was forced to oppose
    ali the technique of the periodg and he
    traveled all over Europe — studying
    directly from nature. His work por-
    trayed not a place, but an instant.

    In 1890 comes Monet's fourth period;
    this includes series of pictures in which
    hé portrays the different aspects of one |
    subject. In this work M. Desclos com-
    pared Monet to a_musician ; one color is
    to a series of pictures as the main theme
    is to an entire symphony. It is remark-
    able to see all the poetry and_ beauty
    which he is able to find in the most

    The fifth of- Monet’s periods 1s also
    his last; here again his interest lies in
    the most fluid and immaterial of all
    things, light itself. In the series of pic-
    turgs which are now contained in the
    Mbnet Museum his chief interest is. iri
    light as it is reflected in water.

    In all, ‘Monet is described as
    profound, and “degage.” His was a life
    consecrated to an ideal; in his search
    for beauty all tradition and convention
    are thrown to the winds. Monet pene-
    trates to the significant and profound
    harmony of the beauty of day itself.
    This realist, who was also an idealist.

    ” The Psychology Department has an-
    -maunced the results of its experiments on
    body weights and examinations. For the
    last two years it hag, weighed students”
    before and after their- Mid-Year ‘periods
    and compared the results in loss or gairr}s
    of weight® with ‘ the number of honor 4
    points they fade that semester.

    BY The mosi; Startling result, Which is the
    same for both years,. is that those aver-
    aging a loss of one pound or less made
    the best average in honor points. Those
    who gain or lose more than one pound
    did worse.
