e> The College News �& VOL. XVIII, No. 15 WAYNE AND BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 1932 Price, 10 Cents Concert by Glee Club Well Chosen and Sung Great Improvement Over Last Concert Seen in Prompt i Response to Directing BELOV QUARTET ASSISTS ' On Saturday evening the Glee Club gave the concert which in May Day year replaces the usual Gilbert and Sullivan opera. Those of us who re- member the concert of four years ago were impressed by the progress which has been made since then. This was a much more ambitious program, and i he excellence of performance was only hinted at by the radio broadcast last week. Granted the obvious drawbacks of a chorus of- women's -voices, the con- trast of tone color was exceedingly well managed, and the lower register, which was somewhat lost in the radio concert, was brought out in Goodhart Hall by an intelligent balance of dy- namics and appropriate arrangement of a variety of musical material. The I Varsity Swim Xe�UTl achieved an exquisite Dr. Kuehnemann Calls Goethe a Modern Man Bryn Maurr Belles and Fortunate Friends�"Theirs T^ot to Reason Why" pianissimo l>eauty at times, and the forte pas- sages were not strained. The concert began with four Bach chorales, which were "sung simply and with feeling. The more complicated and contrapuntal group by Byrd fol- lowed and showed a presentiment of the inherent qualities of the chorus which were to unfold as the concert progressed. The first group ended with an an- them by Vaughan Williams, who is to be at Bryn Mawr next year as the Flexner lecturer. The Belov String Quartet, which provided 'admirable ac- companiment to the chorus, next payed the Mozart "Hunting Quartet." The second group sung by the Glee Club consisted of Palestrina, Vittoria and .Beethoven. "Tenebrae Factae Sunt" and "Adoramus Te," both fa- miliar to us, were performed with the usual smoothness and finish. If there was deviation in the pitch, it was somewhat recompensed by the parity of tone and excellence of diction. The Vittoria "0 Vos Omnes" had even rounder tone, and the balance of in- terweaving voices with the effect of the whole was maintained throughout, well chosen as the climax, brought the first half of the concert to a close on a jubilant note. Except for a slight shrillness in one or two places in this piece, the first sopranos sang consistently better in this concert than ever before. The second half of the program was of a lighter nature. Starting with Elgar's "The Show," the chorus displayed an excellent legato in the sustained lyricism of this piece. Next came four Russian folk songs from the Liadov collection, arranged by Mr. Swan. In these short, almost frag- mentary pieces was a variety of moods. The plaintive "Elegy" was followed by the spirited and humor- ous "Apple Tree," and in contrast, again, came the "Lullaby" and then the lively "Peasant Boy."

M � Spring vacation begins. Despite two excellent performances by Marion Mitchell, Bryn Mawr star performer, the Swarthmore swim- mers defeated Varsity swimmers on Saturday by the close score of 46 to 39. In a meet which was featured by several broken records and closely contested races, the final outcome of the contest was in doubt until the relay, which went to Swarthmore. ' The scoring honors of the meet went to Mitchell, of Bryn Mawr, who took the 40-yard back crawl and the crawl for form. Mitchell proved her- self the best all-around swimmer of the day by her easy victories in these events and by her performance in the relay. The first record-breaking perform- ance was made by Waldemeyer, of Bryn Mawr, who did the 40-yard breast stroke in 32, thereby lowering the existing record by 2 seconds. She sJ.took the lead at the whistle and was never headed by Legate, of Swarth- more, who finished second. Jackson, of Swarthmore. hung up an almost unbreakable record for the 80-yard crawl when she covered the distance in 0:58.6, 6 seconds under the old record of 1:4.0. She also swam the anchor leg on both the medley and crawl relay teams, and in each case her finishing spurts won the event for Swarthmore. Iji the mid- ley Bryn Mawr siw a. comfortable lead hung up by Hemphill, swim- ming trugeon, vanish in Jackson's final sprint, .and again in the crawl relay, Jackson picked up the length which Highly, her teammate, had dropped to Messinicr. In the crawl relay the Swarthmore team lowered their,record of 2:3.8 to 2:2.6. Michael, of Swarthmore, won the 40-yard crawl with comparative inso. Messimer, swimming her first race for Bryn Mawr, seemed affected by a case of nerves, and her performance in capturing third was not up to her usual standard. However, she came back to swim two fast lengths in the relay and give Bryn Mawr its only lead in the race. * In the tandem crawl, the novel event of the afternoon, Legate and Heathcote, of Swarthmore, set back Messimer and Bronson, of Bryn Mawr. The teams worked their arms and legs co-operatively and the gen- eral effect produced was that of a side-wheeler proceeding downstream at full speed. In the diving, Daniels, of Bryn Mawr, hung up an easy victory over Michael, of Swarthmore, by a score of 46.6 to 39.9. Daniels owed her vic- tory largely to two very difficult and - There can be no doubt of the con- trast between the first and last parts of Saturday's entertainment. The change from an atmosphere of Chor- ales and String Quartet to the more blatant one in the gymnasium was quick and thorough. We are sure that everyone enjoyed the Glee Club dance, where there was noise if not beauty for the music department, and no end of revelations of interest to a student in psychology. The most strikingly successful de- tails of-the dance were the orches- tra, the decorations, and the melee in the corners. The committee which transformed the gymnasium into a ballroom with the aid of balloons, crepe paper and a lot of labor, arc- certainly to be congratulated not only on the effect that they created, but also on ^the bursting success toward the end of the evening. The gymnasium lioor, hazardously slippery in spots, for the first few dances, improved BS the evening went, on. Even though the room was decidedly crowded and cries of abandoned males and fran- tic females arose from all sides, the orchestra was persistently and audi- bly rhythmic. The dancing of the Whittaker brothers was "sort of, you know, unusual," according to a stag Wo overheard and helped to provide R professional touch that was. on the whole, missing. This is the first dance of its kind in the history of the college and we hope a precedent rathe%than an ex- ception has been established. We can claim that it's better- not In put the wax on the floor till you've tried mid found that it Is needed, and that each girl acted as her own floor commit- tee, but next year we may change the system.. ,The final verdict on the dance seems to have Ix-cn that we're glad we're not men; we sympathize whole - heartedly with the man who "couldn't find you:" and we will wear bright red to every prom we at tend for the rest of our lives. We wish a pleasant journey home to those [ from South Africa and Australia, and better luck to him from'Ossining. Did anyone dance with Eltwr Zilch?

Bryn Mawr Basketball Team Loses First Game Rosefnont Takes Hard-Fought Game, 38-36, in Last Minute Despite Varsity Threat SECOND TEAM WINS (Continued on Pajf�y Three) Editorial Board Elects The Editorial Board* of The _ College News takes great pleas- ure in announcing the election of the following members: E. Hannan, '34; N, Hart, '34; C. Robinson, '34; G. Rhoads, '35, and P. Howe, '36, as sports editor. Last Saturday was an eventful day. Not only did it see the first dance to be held in the gym, but also the first defeat in basketball for the Varsity this year. It was a meeting of two undefeated teams. A close-fought game was played, and Rosemont, as the better team, well deserved its hard-won victory, which it took 38-36. At the end of each of the first two periods Rosemont led by four points. Although there was no poor playing on the part of any particular indi- vidual, the Varsity as a whole seemed to be below its normal ability. The forwards were just a little off on their shooting and .therefore were not able to capitalize their chances. Nyemetz and Creamer, at guard for Rosemont, were the toughest proposi- tion the forwards have met so far. They stuck very closely, breaking up countless passes, and gave Collier and Boyd little opportunity to shoot. Un- used to such close guarding, the for- wards were not able to get their passes workirtg as they always have done before. Boyd did not show her all-around shooting: ability, but tell back into her last year's game of shooting from only one spot on the right-hand Side of the basket. Collier was not able to hold her passes, and she also tended to fall down -which is quite unusual for her. In the center there was more hot competition. Both Rosemont players were right on the ball, and passes had to lw "very accurate to get by them. The jump seemed to be about even, sometimes going to Longacre. but often to Toebe. Remington, well covered by Hamilton, did not show her usual ability to get free. How- ever, when she got the ball, her passes were good, except for a few wild ones deep under the basket. She played a creditable game, doing a large- share of the work in the center during the last part of the game. Longacre did not seem to have control over the ball at all times, for on quite a few passes she failed to hang on to it because she was looking for someone to whom to throw it. She was quick at getting free and took most of the passes from the guards. Moore and Mi-Cully were given a tough day's work. Boniwell, who has been playing for Rosemont for three years, was having a field day and scored from anywhere on the floor. If they were successful enough to keep the forwards away *from the basket, Boniwell would loop one in without even using the backboard. At the start of the game the guards were rather slow and tended to get Greatest Self-Educated Man Achieved Perfect Unity of Faith and Free Thought # Goethe, because he was the greatest self-educated man in history, belongs n the modern rather than in the medieval world. This was the sub- ject of a lecture by Dr. Eugen Kueh- nemann on Monday. March 14. The medieval world into which Goethe was born had a knowledge of truth which we have not. . They learned it through revelation, while we can only reach it through reason based on science. Self-determination is om truth today, and for the har- mony and unity that we have lost we have gained free thinking. Goethe, the son of a rich man, studied at Leipsig. The literature of his time and surroundings was one of imitation, and he became a master of its forms. With this background he came under the influence of Her- der, whose whole teaching�to be.a genius�was the one thing needed to develop the originality of Goethe's brilliant mind, the most famous in German literature. His greatest work is "Faust," which contains two trag- edies�one of man and thought, the other of woman and love. As he worked, Goethe almost con- sciously developed a new soul in him- self�a soul of resignation and self- sacrifice. He became the leading biol- ogist of his time, and in order to unify biological principles he studied aboriginal phenomena, unities and creative ideas of God. He Went to Italy to study not only art but the nature from which it is derived, and he discoveYod that he and the world ware one and the same thing. His self-education w;as not selfish, but making the most of himself as a mir- ror of truth for others. When he returned to Germany Goethe found himself a stranger, having left his real intellectual home behind in Italy. The one great happiness of his life was his friendship with Schiller and the understanding which came to him from Schiller's conception of the phil- osophy of Kant. The perfect unity of Kant, Goethe and Schiller was the highest point in German thought. Goethe's later poetry is Greek in its purity and simplicity of form, but German in its fullness of the soul's life. Old age fell swiftly on Goethe after Schiller's death; at first he tried to do the work of both men. In 1809 he published a novel and a poem, "Pandora;" then he began work on his autobiography. He had a group of poems which from their beauty were always thought to be his, but which turned out to be written to him by a woman whom he left so as not to break up her marriage. When he was 74 he proposed to a girl of 19, and when they parted, this eternal youth in his heart also left him. He wrote his first social novel, "Wilhelm Mcister," and a few weeks before his death, at the age of 83, he finished "Faust,"�a poem which ranks with the "Iliad," the "Divine Comedy." "Hamlet" and "King Lear" as one of the world's great poems. From self-education the law of self- determination has made a new social and economic order. The quest ion is whether we are to have a personal" life or merely be a part of a machine. Goethe is the answer, for he made of his life a work of art. He achieved a perfect unity of religion and knowl- edge, which is the union of medieval faith and modern free thought.

How to Give a Truly Elegant Dinner Party - Page 3
From the House Beautiful archives: How one hostess pulled off an elegant and delicious three-course dinner party.
Filet of Beef
A filet of beef, if done properly, can be the most succulent meat in the world, and its presentation can be the most glamorous when done in the manner that I dreamed up. French terminology divides a filet into four sections. The large end of the tenderloin is where the Bifteck comes from. It usually is not cut thickly. The center section is the Chateaubriand and is cut very thick. The tournedos are from the small end, are usually trimmed round, and are about 1 1/4 inches thick. The flat tip of the tenderloin is called the Filet Mignon and is cut in various thicknesses according to desire. In this country, however, we seem to have two categories, the Filet Mignon, and the Chateaubriand.
It is from the large end of the tenderloin that you should have the butcher cut your filet. It should be about ten inches long and weigh nearly four pounds. It must be a good, heavy filet. Cut as I describe, one will serve six; so, if you are having sixteen, you will need three of them. Wipe well with a wet paper towel and pour a good Madeira all over (I use a medium dry Madeira). Allow about a quarter of a cup for each piece of meat. Pepper well with freshly cracked pepper and put into a cold oven and turn on to 300 degrees F. Allow 1 1/2 hours cooking time, basting four times at even intervals with the following sauce.
The amounts given are for one four-pound tenderloin.
Basting Sauce for the Beef
1/3 cube of butter, melted
1/4 cup of Madeira drippings from meat
Keep basting sauce hot, and take the beef out of the oven, pour pan drippings into the basting sauce, and then baste meat copiously with sauce. Return to oven, and repeat process four times in all. If the beef is fat, you must skim off excess fat before each basting, for grease is death to a delectable sauce, and that is what you want from the Madeira.
After the beef has been cooking for half an hour, or when brown, turn so the other side will brown. The Madeira has enough sweetness, so the beef should be a lovely dark color. The temperature behavior of all ovens seems to be different, but here is what I do.
I serve this meat so it looks like a real production. My large silver tea tray is the basic holder of the scenery. On top of it I put a silver sauce boat and a silver plate for the block of sliced pate. Cover the edges of the bigger tray with loads of parsley. A thick bed of this is important for it must be lush looking. Leave the center space empty to receive the meat platter. We use a large crepe pan so we can have it good and hot.
Have a cup of brandy warming on the stove, for this will be the touch that contributes the glamour. Remove the tenderloins from the oven. Then slice a portion off the large end so it will be level and you can stand these beauties upright. Place them carefully on the warmed crepe or serving platter. Then pour the sauce from the roasting pan over the meat. Bring it to the serving table.
When the guests are assembled, pour the hot brandy over all the meat and flame. It is spectacular and the burned brandy emerging with the cooking sauce gives a delectable flavor. Keep spooning the brandy sauce over the beef until it is all burned out. The burning brandy merges all the flavors. The carver can make a great show of spooning the burning brandy over the meat and everyone will admire the blazing beef.
Tenderloin is the easiest thing in the world to carve, but heres a tip: slice the meat in rather thin slices, for the pâté and sauce would be lost on a great thick piece of beef. Each piece of beef will have medium, well done, and rare meat. The ends are more done than the center.
After carving, put a slice of pâté and a spoonful of sauce from the sauce boat on each beef slice (note: this is different from the sauce from the cooking process).
Sauce for the Beef
(For one filet, serving six)
1 can Campbells beef bouillon
2 teaspoons arrowroot, dissolved in some cold consommé
1 can or two very large truffles, chopped
8 mushroom stems, chopped (marinate both in Madeira)
1/3 cup Madeira
Heat the soup, undiluted, saving some to dissolve the arrowroot in, add slowly to the hot broth and cook on very low heat for about five minutes. Add the chopped truffles and mushrooms, which have been marinating in the Madeira, pour the whole thing in, heat, and cook for a minute or two. This sauce can be made the day before and stored in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Serve bubbling hot, with a small sauce spoon over each slice of beef, for the helpings of this delectable sauce should be small. You dont want the plates drowned in this rich brew.
I hope I have given you this picture clearly; it is a sensational dish and to me one of the easiest.
The pâté can be sliced in the thinnest possible slices in the morning and arranged on the serving plate. It is easier to slice when cold. I like the block type, for the slices are uniform, and it is more easily arranged.
To be on the safe side, buy an 11-ounce block. Refrigerate and then slice carefully with a hot knife. Lay the slices tenderly on your serving dish and refrigerate, putting the dish and all in a plastic bag. Whisk out when you are ready to mount your wondrous dish.

After a fight up the order to second place in Korea, our Finn is at the top of his game heading to one of his very favourite circuits, Suzuka
Normally it doesn't make too much difference to me where we race – as long as we have a good result then I'll enjoy it – but this is a track I look forward to every season. It's a proper circuit that's been around for a many years, and you can understand why as it's a challenge for the drivers and usually makes for some good racing too. Suzuka is fast, technical and there are some good places to overtake, which to me is what racing should be about.
It's a bit of everything really. There are some corners where you are flat out – or very nearly flat out – but then there are others where you really have to balance the braking and throttle carefully to maintain the best speed. If you push too hard then you can easily be punished, as I found out in qualifying last year when I was on my best lap in the final session. Hopefully this time we'll get everything right and be fighting at the front; that's where you can have the most fun at a circuit like Suzuka.
As a racing circuit it has unique characteristics and belongs in the top three in the world with Spa and Monaco. I enjoy winning races the most at the places like these. For me coming to Suzuka was never that enjoyable because of the long journey, but driving a Formula 1 car on the track has felt great every time. I had a good race at Fuji too. It was that wet race back in 2007 when I came from pretty far back to a podium finish, but Suzuka 2005 is my best memory from Japan. It's very difficult to say which is your best race – especially if you have won many – but coming from the last row of the grid to take victory at a place like this is one I remember very, very well.
I particularly like Tokyo and always have a good time when I visit there. It's a fun place, there is a lot going on, and I do enjoy sushi…
Since my first ever visit to Japan back in 2001 with Sauber, I've always enjoyed the almost fanatic loyalty of the local fans. They really support you, no matter what position you are racing for. Maybe that Suzuka victory was the best memory for them too. Even last year – after being out of Formula 1 for two seasons – I still had a lot of Japanese fans all over the world. For sure, that feels nice! Whenever I race or go rallying, there are always some Japanese supporters around and I appreciate the support.
It was quite close I guess but we both came out of it okay. He basically gave me second place with a small mistake at the end of the lap after the restart and I already knew there were yellow flags into Turn 3, so I knew if I overtook him into Turn 1 he wouldn't be able to pass me back. It wasn't too difficult; he defended pretty hard but I managed to get through.
Qualifying was pretty awful for me in Korea, but it's difficult to say whether a better grid position would have made the difference. Sebastian [Vettel] was faster than us at the end; not massively, but a little bit for sure and his tyres were fresher too so I think it would have been tough to catch him in any case. We were closer to the Red Bull in Korea than we have been in some races, but not close enough…
If we can improve our performance on Saturdays then there's always a chance, so we'll keep trying for sure and see what we can do.
After a highly positive Korean Grand Prix it's straight to Japan and Suzuka, where Romain Grosjean is in a highly positive state of mind. Bring it on…
I know I won't be the first one to say this, but Suzuka is definitely my favourite circuit of the year. Every driver has races that are special to them for one reason or another – a home Grand Prix, or the venue for their first win maybe – but I think if you ask most racers they will tell you there's just something about this place that's a little bit different. This will be only my third time driving the track, but I've been looking forward to it ever since the flag dropped in Korea; it's simply fantastic.
It's a track that really allows a driver to demonstrate their feel for the car. Not only is combination of corners pretty relentless – so you never really get a rest – but the way the layout flows together means that the smallest mistake can make a big difference to your time. Get it right, and the feeling is amazing. Get it wrong, and you just want to keep trying again and again until you have it nailed. Each sequence is challenging in its own way, and you have to find the perfect balance to put a good lap together. Every track has its challenges, but Suzuka is a continuous test of a drivers skills and I think that's what makes it so beautiful to drive.
Suzuka itself it pretty far out from the busier parts of the country, but the people, the culture, and of course the food all really appeal to me, so it's somewhere I'd definitely like to explore a little more one day. You can't help but mention the Japanese fans as well; they really are in a league of their own! Everywhere you look there are people with shirts, flags, crazy hats, and so many other things they have made at home just to show their support for the drivers on one weekend of the year. I don't think any of us will forget the noise last year when [Kamui] Kobayashi got his first Formula 1 podium in front of his home crowd… my ears were ringing all the way to Korea; it was unbelievable!
I will have to ask Ayao for some special tricks! Certainly I really like Suzuka, the car is looking very good at the moment and maybe Ayao has some local knowledge too. He certainly gets home support so maybe that will help me out on track too.
It was a fantastic result. Of course, one step higher on the podium for me would have been better and two steps up would have been superb. Our battle with Lewis [Hamilton] was good, our pace was great but the safety cars stopped us in our fight for the win. After the restart I should have been in front of Kimi on the road, but it was my mistake which let him past so it was third place on the podium instead of second.
If we're fighting for the same piece of track and the same position then it means we're both getting the maximum out of the car, which is a positive thing whichever way you look at it. Obviously we're both competitive, but our racing has always been fair. I made a mistake in Korea which is why he got past, but this is not something I want to happen again. The team's philosophy is always to let us race unless we're on very different strategies where one driver could hold up the other, and this is the right approach. Let's hope we have some more battles for podium places and I'll be pushing to be the one ahead.
Before the safety car we certainly had a strategy to push Sebastian, however we don't know how much he had in reserve. Maybe the potential of getting my first win was quite close in Korea, but you can't set a time frame on these things; you never know when the win might come…
