C. Harrold To Lecture Here On Archaeology PRIMITIVE INDIAN LIFE TO BE DISCUSSED Dr. C. C. Harrold, of Macon, Ga., president of the Georgia Society of Archamlogy, renowned for his recent archxological explorations in the field of "Old Ocmulgee," will give an illus¬ trated lecture on Primitive Indian Civ¬ ilization in Georgia in the chapel at 8:3 0 on the evening of February 8; this is the second number on the 19343 5 program of the Lecture Association and is also sponsored by Chi Beta Phi Sigma, and International Relations Club. Dr. Harrold's excavations, which are the only ones of importance in this country, with the exception of those in Arizona, have revealed Indian ruins dating back a thousand years. Archaeologists from Andover first came to explore the mounds in Old Ocmulgee fields and were followed by archaeologists from other institutions, who, of course, carried their findings with them to the east. Dr. Harrold, eager to keep in Georgia these remains of ancient Indian civilization, secured funds for further exploration, with the result that it is proposed that this sec¬ tion of the state become a national park. With the help of the F. E. R. A. and professional archxologists, he has discovered an Indian council house which resembles in some respects the prehistoric Kivas of the Southwest and in other respects is unique. Mounds, villages, and rare pottery are among the other discoveries. ARCHAEOLOGY IS AVOCATION Archxology is only Dr. Harrold's avocation. By profession he is a prac¬ ticing physician in Macon. He has developed his interest to such a degree, however, that his work has been com¬ mended by the Smithsonian Institute of New York. Dr. Harrold is the cousin of Quenelle Harrold, '23, in whose honor the Quenelle Harrold Fel¬ lowship Fund was established. The Lecture Association is present¬ ing this program free of charge; every¬ one is invited to attend the reception after the lecture. Progress Made With Emory In Coordination The granting of credit for all work done at Emory University summer school this year with merit hours re¬ duced one-half is regarded as the ini¬ tial step toward the coordination of Agnes Scott College and Emory, it was announced recently. In former years the Emory summer school has been in the hands of a di¬ rector; last fall, however, Dean Good¬ rich C. White, of the College of Arts and Sciences, was put in charge. The summer session this year will be con¬ ducted as any other quarter, the term being divided into four periods of equal length. The faculty of Agnes Scott, upon request of Dean White, and the committee has made recommendations as to courses to be opened in the sum¬ mer; wherever possible these sugges¬ tions have been followed by Dean White in his preliminary announcement of the coming session. Another phase of the proposed proj¬ ect of cooperation between the two in¬ stitutions is in the joint library sys¬ tem. At present a check list of pe¬ riodicals at both libraries is being drawn up in order to determine the number and type of magazine at each library and to avoid, in the future, expensive duplication. The project will require a double cataloguing system for each library and the exchange of books for certain courses offered at both Schools. Other suggestions for the library system are that the arts and sciences (Continued on Page 4, Column 1) The Agonistic Oityc Agonistic Relief Brought By F.

The pressing need at Agnes Scott is, of course, a new library building; such a building is proposed and will be built if the campaign is successful. The problem at Emory is that the entire building is not devoted to library pur¬ poses, the first floor being turned over to offices. Should the library coopera¬ tion system be put into effect, the re¬ sources of both libraries will be open to students and faculties of both insti¬ tutions. RELIEF BROUGHT BY F. E. R. A. (Continued from Page 2, Column 3) ing was that it was too expensive. Other activities of the EERA are the Federal Emergency Relief Corpora¬ tion, Self-Help Associations, and rural industrial communities for the unem¬ ployed. The National Industrial Recovery Act is also a result of the administra¬ tion's attitude toward unemployment. President Roosevelt signed the act on June 16, 1933. The first part of the NIRA establishes the National Recov¬ ery Administration; the second part provides for a vast program of works under the supervision of the public works administration; and a third part covers amendments to the Emergency Relief and Construction Act. The latest activity of the adminis¬ tration in regard to unemployment is the vast new public works program which is before the Senate now. Ex¬ cluding the subject of World Court, this new work relief bill has been the major topic of the seventy-fourth con¬ gress, which is now in session. The measure as it passed the House on Jan¬ uary 24 would give the President au¬ thority to reorganize emergency agen¬ cies and to create a new co-ordinating set-up to take 3,500,000 employables off the relief rolls and put them to work through a $4,000,000 lump sum fund. It also provides for the expen¬ diture of $880,000,000 of unexpended funds for direct relief until the new works program is in full swing. Another bill before the present Congress is the economic security plan which is designed to afford social se¬ curity to the aged, idle, ill, and in¬ digent. This plan provides for unem¬ ployment insurance and old age pen¬ sions. -•I*•}»«$»«!• «j»«{•<1*tj*•!»»$»•{»•{♦ «j»»$»»$» ij*«$» t|»•$» «!»«$• t * I DECATUR WOMAN'S f EXCHANGE DeKalb Theatre Bldg. for VALENTINES «£••!«•£»»£«»*« •£• >£« «£**£*»J» ►J* «.J» «£» »£« *£» *£» «.t* Try Our SANDWICHES We Make Them Right LAWRENCE'S PHARMACY Phones De. 0762-0763 + BAILEY BROS.

Mary Boggs, Katherine Hertzka, Eva Poliakoff and Isabel Shipley were elect¬ ed to membership in Phi Beta Kappa at the special announcement service in chapel Saturday morning, February 9. Miss Catharine Torrance, president of the local chapter, gave the address and made the announcement of the new members. Following the academic procession, Miss Torrance talked on the meaning of Phi Beta Kappa, and its significance in meeting the problems of life today. The three-word motto of Phi Beta Kappa, by the initial letters of which the society is known, may be trans¬ lated, "The love or quest of wisdom the guide or inspiration of life." Miss Torrance interpreted this to mean, as the theme of her talk, that one's set of ideas concerning life, one's philoso¬ phy of life, is that which steers, or guides, or rules one. It is essential, in this era of transition, for students to possess a positive and adequate philos¬ ophy which can guide them through the serious problems of social and per¬ sonal reconstruction ahead. The solution to the problems of civ¬ ilization today is to be found in edu¬ cation, an education of which the main objectives are to imbue all students with the scientific spirit, and to im¬ press them with the realization of his¬ toric values. The scientific spirit is, according to Miss Torrance, "the spirit of adven¬ ture, the spirit of the philosopher who sees the purposive arrangement of all (Continued on page 4, column 1) "Craig's Wife" To Be Presented By Blackfriars Blackfriars will present its next play, Craig's Wife, by George Kelley, on Saturday, March 2, after the Junior Banquet.

This theme is expressed con¬ cisely by Miss Austen when she says: "People who live to themselves, Har¬ riet, are generally left to themselves."

A general misunder¬ standing as to what a scholar gets out of his learning has caused this controversy. It would seem necessary that the standards and purposes of the true scholar be defined, and that it be clearly set forth what scholarship is not as well as what it is. A scholar is generally defined as one versed in a single branch or in many branches of learning, one who has knowledge or skill, a savant. Such a definition can in no way explain the inner qualities of scholarship, nor completely separate the development which makes for genuine scholarship from the misconceptions which surround the meaning of the word. The scholar, regardless of the opinion of our "practical" world, does direct his acquirements toward a definite end. The goal to which he is going, however, is not that of the student who sees all his efforts as a certain number of hours, for the most part unrelated, spent to obtain a degree, an honor, or a position. Nor does he feel that he must become a mere memorizing machine, a possessor of odd facts with which to impress a group of listen¬ ers. Such goals would well characterize a pedant or a grind; a scholar, on the other hand, is working toward more valuable achievements. The aim of the scholar is mental cultivation, with the hope for the greatest of all returns—a more complete and harmonious integration of his personality in the world in which he lives. He learns a new language as a means of communication with the minds of friends of other lands. In science he learns the inter¬ twining relationships of all objects, feels the unity of all nature, and recognizes his studies as an approach to truth. By history and literature he is enabled to live the lives of other men, to suffer with slaves and martyrs, or to rule with kings. Through his attainment of knowledge a greatly enriched life opens before the scholar. The pleasure that one may gain from a broader viewpoint, from the establishment of proper relationships of all things, from the understanding of man, cannot be denied except by those not attuned to such values. But true scholarship does not gloat over the hoard of its riches and pleasures. Such an attitude removes one from the classifi cation of the scholar and places him in the category of the pedant. In the first place, the real scholar integrates all that he acquires into his own developing personality, so that by virtue of personal enrichment he becomes an unconscious influence on those around him. Furthermore, he gives graciously and will¬ ingly of himself, but without any vain display of knowledge. On the contrary, he is exceedingly modest, since he realizes the magnitude of his own unimportance in the world in which he is gaining ever-clearer insight. What does the scholar gain from his efforts? Only these things: friendship and brotherhood with men of all times; a glimpse into the anteroom of the underlying mysteries of life; an ability to judge values; and an inexplicable pleasure from all that these possessions can do in his life and the lives of others. Their value depends entirely on the scale by which the individual measures. Saar Votes Union With Germany The dreaded Saar crisis is over and the Saar is German! Fifteen years of tension reached its climax in the plebis¬ cite presented to this tiny but singular¬ ly important section of Europe on January 13, 193 5. The victory was overwhelmingly German—a 90 per cent majority. As the day of the plebiscite drew i near tension increased; Germany had spread propaganda throughout the Saar territory to keep the spirit of German nationalism alive, and Geoffry G. Knox, head of the Saar government, feared violent uprisings. However, the situation was somewhat relieved when, December 4, 1934, France and Ger¬ many delivered the League authorities full political guarantees for the inhabi¬ tants of the Saar in the event of their voting for either French or German sovereignty. To the student of human affairs, this disposition of the Saar territory was inevitable; for the Saarlanders will al¬ ways be Germans by blood whether or not they sympathize with Germany's political activities; and their sense of nationalism was too strong to permit them to vote themselves away from German control. They can not be blamed for rejoic¬ ing over at last being allowed to return to native arms. Germany has promised to aid the Saar country financially, and to find jobs for the 40,000 idle Saar citizens. The lost sheep has returned to the fold, again proving its Teutonic fealty. It remains to be seen whether Ger¬ many's interpretation of her political victory will prove to be the beginning of an aggressive foreign policy. Ger¬ man newspapers seem to visualize the treaty of Versailles as crumbling; they predict that the clause against Ger¬ many's rearming will be the next to yield. We who oppose war can only hope that Germany will not insist on the realization of this ideal. AS WE Mary Virginia Allen Agnes Scott girls are doing the same things today they did thirty years ago, \ although we can't boast of a Terchi Tillion Club with Terchi Hens and Terchi Gobblers such as we see pic-1 tured in the 1913 Sil/jouette.

Yet, stripped of; this pseudo-sophistication, clothed in; more voluminous skirts, with a rose entangled in a wind-blown puff on the; top of the head, we could feel at home in the pages of the annual of 1902, which discarded the name Aurora and became the first Silhouette of Agnes Scott Institute. Campus athletes played golf then— and right in front of White House, at that. The joys of tennis were not un¬ known, either. The tennis club is pic¬ tured with big, wide-brim hats, high- top shoes, and racquets held gracefully in front, as their fingers picked the strings of the would-be guitars. The faculty indulged in extra-cur¬ ricular activities rather freely then, too, according to the Silhouette. Most conspicuous among their organizations was the "Faculty Angling Club," in which "Miss Hopkins fished for good conduct with loving kindness as her bait," and Miss McKinney caught "Promptness" with the "10 per cent off" inducement. In 1909 turtle-ncck sweaters swept the campus—beautiful white ones, worn with very full pleated skirts— excellent gym attire which was prob¬ ably forbidden in the classroom. 'Twas then, too, that the ambitious third year German class "gave Lessing's ever fresh and mirthful comedy, Minna von Barnhelm." That was before the war; the German Club page in the 1916 Silhouette has only the words, "Gone But Not Forgotten." A baby picture by the side of each dignified senior in cap and gown re¬ veals the class of 1910 "as they were." BOOKS Alabama Isn't Like That This is to people everywhere who have read Carl Carmer's Stars Fell On Alabama. This is to people who, liv ng a thousand miles away, might come to Alabama expecting to find it a dreamy, tropical land inhabited by pas¬ sionate, colorful figures; to people who, craving adventure and excitement and not having the means for an African expedition, might come to Alabama instead, remembering what Carl Car- mer has said of it that "the Congo is not more different from Massachusetts, Kansas or California." This is the pro¬ test of an Alabamian against the gross misrepresentation of life and landscape in her state, as pictured by a North¬ erner who, after living six years in Alabama, has written a book that paints the extraordinary as the typical and the unusual as the habitual. Carl Carmer says: "So I have chos¬ en to write of Alabama not as a state which is a part of the nation, but as a strange country in which I once lived and from which I have now re¬ turned." And, accordingly, he writes in such a way as to leave the impres¬ sion that he has been to the South Sea Islands or to Africa. Since my conception of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, was arrived at through first¬ hand knowledge, I find it hard to rec¬ ognize as authentic this picture of it: "Like the little lost town of Germeshausen, that Gerstacker wrote of, Tus¬ caloosa lives a life of its own—an en¬ chanted life in an age other than ours. Mountains lowering from the north, stagnant marshes sleeping in the south shut it from the world. A malevolent landscape — lush and foreboding— broods over it, bending its people to strange purposes." And in addition to the appearance of the country there is another way in which Mr. Carmer likens Alabama to a tropical country. This is in his ref¬ erence to an insidious lethargy that possesses the white man who lives in the tropics. Such an apathy, he avers, takes hold of one in Alabama. He speaks of the "virus in his veins," and of being warned against such a spell bv a man who had lived there for some time: "If I knew you well enough to advise you, I'd say, 'For God's sake, get out of here before it's too late.' " There is no refutation that may be made concerning such a strange spell except the conclusions that common sense may dictate. Alabama is no far¬ ther south than Georgia or Mississippi or Louisiana. The title of the book, Stars Fell On Alabama, may intimate the presence of such a spell, but this explanation is acceptable only to the very imaginative. Stars Fell On Alabama describes not only Tuscaloosa, but other cities—Bir¬ mingham, Mobile, and Montgomery— and other sections of the state—the mountains in the north and the cen¬ tral Black Belt country—in the same picturesque, but distorted, way. The extraordinary is selected and so played upqn that the reader is left with the impression that it is the typical. Mr. Carmer describes different types as they live in the north, south and west. All of them, according to him, have in common the calm exterior and inward passion that mark Alabamians as a people. Thus are the natives pictured in Stars Fell on Alabama. That the types de¬ scribed do exist it must be admitted— there are a few old southern gentleimen and even more backswoodsmen and mountaineers. But the majority of Ala¬ bamians are not like those he describes. I The book has been widely read and . widely praised. That it is an inter- i esting, well-written and entertaining j book there can be no question. But that it is a true picture of Alabama must be denied. The black negro mamies, the shooting mountaineers, the white-robed Klansmen, the primitive backswoodsmen, the old Southern gen¬ tlemen—they are to be found in Ala- i bama it is true. But they represent only a certain part. They are not all, or even most, of Alabama, even as gangsters are not all of Chicago or the slums all of New York. Alabama pic¬ tured as a strange, exotic country peopled with passionate colorful figures may be interesting enough to read about, but the actual life there is not like that. WERE Some of them grew up to resemble themselves strikingly. This was the age of the stream-line coiffure. The hair was swept from the front and sides to a folding knot in the back, or down from the top of the head to a puff which protruded over each ear. Middie blouses with enormous blue ties were chic for the well-dressed college girl. The Georgia Railroad was doing ex¬ cellent business in 1916. In the greet¬ ings to intended newcomers we read: "Agnes Scott College is beautifully situated on one side of the Georgia Railroad (see Genesis 1:25), whose trains have a remarkably regular sched¬ ule, never in all the glorious historv of the institution having once failed to pass during prayers, chapel, or song re¬ cital," and, we might add, Investiture. The trials and tribulations of the Aurora staff are also a heritage of the ages. Under an editor's picture is the tell-tale verse: "The Editor of the Aurory Asked her friends for a story; When they said we can't write, She replied in a fright, I don't mind if they're a bit bory." Silhouettes are revealing: some of our faculty have led consistent lives and followed the interests they had as students at Agnes Scott; others have turned around completely and gone the other way. In the "Last Will and Tes¬ tament" we read: "Lucile Alexander wills to her insatiable thirst after French," and a few pages further we see "Gussie O'Neal (Mrs. Johnson) leader of the Glee Club." But others have said "no" to their prescribed future and surprised us. "Margaret Phythian leaves to her fluent German speech, also her deep and lasting love for the language."

ACTIVITIES SOCIETY At the White House not long ago Anna Eleanor Roosevelt received a strange and unfamiliar guest. Her name was Antonia Brico. Her purpose was to intesest the President's wife in a woman's symphony orchestra. Mrs. Roosevelt was so impressed that last week four Brico concerts were an¬ nounced, the first to be given in Man¬ hattan February 18. Antonia Brico is a conductor who affects a jacket which resembles an old- fashioned Prince Albert. She has con¬ ducted sucessfully in Berlin, Hamburg, Manhattan. Women proclaim her a genius. Men say that she is an excel¬ lent musician who has a clean, sure beat.—Time. "Are you personally prepared to state that it is your present purpose not to sanction any future war or participate as an armed combatant?"

In a last minute attempt to turn the tide, N. S. F. A. undergraduates per¬ suaded influential citizens in their com¬ munities to wire doubtful and opposi¬ tion Senators that they favored U. S. entrance. In four cases these efforts re¬ sulted in influencing Senators to vote favorably.

The Social Service group of Y. W. C. A. visited the federal penitentiary on Tuesday, February 12. The music appreciation group stud¬ ied Grieg last Sunday afternoon. A paper on the composer's life was read, and some of his best known works were played. Rev.

The World Fellowship committee of the Y. W. C. A. attended the meeting. Y. W. C. A. has planned a series of vesper talks on certain Biblical charac¬ ters. Mrs. Alma Sydenstricker was the first speaker on this series, her subject being "Fuke". Caroline Dickson will speak next Sunday on "Mary and Martha." Iris Lee from Davison-Paxon's spoke to the Freshman Charm group on Mon¬ day, February 4, at 4:30 o'clock. Miss Lee's discussion was on "Personality."

As a college, we have been inclined to smile tolerantly and with a definite feeling of superiority at the various measures taken by the faculties and student governments of other schools to insure that honor and honesty which our faculty assumed were so inherent in us that regulations, policing, and constant super¬ vision were unnecessary. Every freshman inevitably is impressed with the fact that this trust places a serious responsibility on her, and is inspired with the hope of maintaining the standing and reputation of Agnes Scott students. It has been a boast of stu¬ dent government that the honor system has been eminently suc¬ cessful. Of late there has been a campaign to make the so-called double honor system as integral a part of the Agnes Scott con¬ sciousness as the single system is. This double honor is the name given to the duty of students not only to be honorable them¬ selves in everything pertaining to their school work, but also to report to the proper authorities any one whom they see violating the rules of honesty. Meanwhile, slowly but surely, and, latterly, quickly though equally surely, we have been abandoning the honor system alto¬ gether and by our actions denying both the success of the system and the inherent honesty of Agnes Scott students. If we formerly pointed with pride at our honor system, it is definitely time to view with alarm. Instead of being governed under the double honor system, Agnes Scott finds herself under a half honor system —if that. Even formerly for the freshman it was a distinct shock to come into a room where an examination was being given and be told by the teacher in charge, "This examination is being con¬ ducted under the honor system. Please leave your books outside, and see to it that there is an empty seat between you and your neighbor on either side." It was still, however, usually so great a change from the high-schools where every examination room had been frankly patrolled by the teacher on duty, that everyone reveled in being able to go out of the room whenever she liked and for whatever purpose, in being allowed to talk freely with the rest of the class, and the full implications of the limitations on one's freedom rather escaped the student body. Nevertheless, now with the new regulations put into force during the spring examinations in which student government ordered that there be no going out of the room to the book store during an exam¬ ination and that there be no talking—there can no longer be any evading of the facts. The question must arise in the mind of each Agnes Scott student: "Is the honor system still in force?" If the answer is yes, then every student should deeply resent the insin¬ uations of the new regulations; if the answer is no, there should be a demand for the discontinuation of the farce that the honor system has become and for an open, frank statement as to the policy of student government on this point. The situation as it stands is, and should be, humiliating to any Agnes Scott girl. There must be an explanation to the student body at large for"the steps that have been taken. The spectacle of a one-half honor system in which the honor is gone but the system still remains is a far cry from the ideals and aspirations of the Agnes Scott student body. This 42-year-old "Bonaparte of the Bayous," this Scripture-quoting comic- opera ruler, frankly has the great ma¬ jority of the American people puz¬ zled. How did he get such a grip on the people of Louisiana, and how suc¬ cessfully has he aided the condition of the state? This man who directs Louisiana's state legislature, who is the first one to attend committee meetings at which he is legally not supposed to be pres¬ ent; this man, who has usurped the legislative, judicial, and executive func¬ tion of the state of Louisiana and who has even used military pressure against his political enemies, is now senator from his state to the United States Senate. Huey Pierce Long, one of nine chil¬ dren of a Louisiana farmer, became a traveling salesman at the age of 16, because he was unable to accept a schol¬ arship he had won to Louisiana State University. Later, after attending Tulane for not quite a year, he success¬ fully passed the state bar examination and was admitted to the bar. His first public office was membership in the Railroad Commission. It was at this time, as a young man of 24, that he first publicly announced his belief in the more even distribution of the wealth of America. In 1928, Long was elected governor of the state, and, dur¬ ing his term of office, impeachment proceedings were brought against him, but were unsuccessful. Because he was not legally permitted to succeed him¬ self, he managed to get his friend, Os¬ car K. Allen, elected as governor and thus has been able to rule Louisiana through him. At the same time, Long conducted a successful campaign for himself as senator. The "senator-dictator" wields an unbelievable amount of power in Lou¬ isiana. The Long machine has control of fixing tax assessments, of a secret state police force, and has brought it about that Long has power to remove both elective and apjaointive local of¬ ficials. The state's election machinery is in Huey's hands, and he has curbed the power of the civil courts. The tactics he used in achieving his hold on the people are probably the source of most of the outside comment on Huey. The people say he is too boisterous. "He is the hillbilly come into power, with the crudity of the hillbilly and his native shrewdness mul¬ tiplied tenfold." One of his outstand¬ ing traits—that of revenge—is shown in a number of his political actions. He is a foe of corporations, because he Among Other Gifts: Rocking-Chairs To Agnes Scott College, Friday, Feb¬ ruary 22, brings an anniversary of double significance, for while all Amer¬ ica celebrates the birthday of "The Father of Our Country," the college community, in addition, will celebrate Founder's Day—observed in honor of the birthday of George Washington Scott. Although he is held in love and es¬ teem by the people of this section, the south was not the birthplace of Colonel Scott. He was born in Alexandria, Pa., February 22, 1829, the fourth son of John Scott and Agnes Irvine. The move to the south came in 1 8 50 when, because of bad health, he was forced to try a milder climate. After various moves in Florida, Alabama, and Geor¬ gia, he settled in Decatur in 1877 and lived here until his death October 3, 1903. During the twenty-six years of his residence in Decatur, Colonel Scott was closely associated with the founding and developing of this school. It was he who selected the grounds, and it was as a result of his kindness and support that Agnes Scott Hall was erected in 1890. The building received its name from his mother, Mrs. Agnes Scott. When the day came for the actual dedi¬ cation of the hall, its founder, who was noted for his extreme modesty, fled from the expressions of gratitude show¬ ered upon him, and is said to have re (Continued on page 3, column 5) says he was kept from being made as¬ Universities in Japan have only 3 5 sistant United States attorney through j women students.—Rollins Sandspur. corporation influence.

This was a most interesting program.

C'Lena McMullen, of the class of 1934, will also be present at this conference. All of the members of the mission interest group are planning to attend the ses¬ sions of the conference. The Freshman Cabinet has decided to have the hobby groups meet every week, and their schedule is as follows: Book group on Monday, Charm group on Tuesday, Current Events on Wednesday, and dramatics also on Wednesday. The latter has started to work on the Easter pageant which is al¬ ways given by the freshman class.

McCAIN reports PLANS FOR BUILDINGS (Continued from page 1, column 2) contain a central tower which will, if built, house a museum for the preserva¬ tion of rare documents and other treas¬ ures which the college might now pos¬ sess had it adequate facilities for their preservation and exhibition. The pres¬ ent library is to be converted into a student activities building. The main reading room is to be used for a gen¬ eral recreation hall, and the various smaller rooms to be assigned to the sep¬ arate student groups. A new science hall is planned to house the departments of biology and botany, and Dr. McCain added that at some future time it is hoped to include here a department of the home. This, he explained, is to be a "kind of glori¬ fied" home economics" course. The present science hall is to be devoted to the departments of chemistry and physics. The site of the new building has not been definitely decided yet. For further beautification of the campus the drive in front of Buttrick Hall is to be extended from McDonough to Candler Street. It will prob¬ ably pass where the Infirmary stands now, and the Infirmary will be turned around to face it. This drive will also be connected with the drive in front of Agnes Scott Hall, so that one may drive from one part of the campus to an¬ other. The success of these plans depends on the ability of the college and Board of Trustees to raise the required $233,000. Dr. McCain said that the prospect was brighter than in December. |: YE OLD DUTCH MILL | % Fine Candies and Ice Cream i*♦J* ^ Special Attention Given to •J* ❖ Party Designs *«♦ 128 Ponce de Leon ♦> ♦> Next Door to DeKalb Theatre ♦J*»J» »J» «$♦ ¥** «J» «J» »J» ♦£« >*4 »£♦ «J* »J» »J» ♦*» ❖ You'll never know how good a ❖ Sandwich can be until you eat ❖ our famous * ❖ CLAIRMONT PLATE ❖ ❖ SANDWICH—15c * It is a Meal Itself ❖ ❖ We Fix Them to Take Out ♦❖> CLAIRMONT DELICATESSEN ❖ 112 Clairmont Ave. 44' Society Spotlight In all the hygiene books, the rule is firmly laid down that business and pleasure do not mix; that school girls, in other words, should stay home on week-nights and go out only over the week-ends. Agnes Scott students are paragons of virtue in this respect, ap¬ parently, for during the past week most of the activities were crowded into the three short days of the week-end. However, the social importance of Thursday, February 14, Valentine's Day, must not be overlooked, what with telegrams, special deliveries, can¬ dy, and flowers flooding the campus!

With the years, Colonel Scott only increased his interest in the activities of the college. His concern for the stu¬ dents is shown by his firmly stated rule that the room of each student, in addition to the other carefully selected furniture, must contain a rocking chair. He was familiar with the name of every girl attending the school and ex¬ pressed his feeling for them in the gifts of oranges and grapes that he continu¬ ally sent to the boarding students from his winter home in Florida. During the early years while the school was strug¬ gling to gain a secure financial footing, Colonel Scott generously paid each year's deficit, thus enabling the insti¬ tution to maintain the high scholastic standards with which it began. In spite of all this help, when the school wished to hang his portrait in Agnes Scott Hall, he requested that they wait until after his death. Consequently, after his death the portrait was hung, and, in addition, Founder's Day was instituted in order to keep before the students the con¬ stant reminder of the true "gentilesse" of Agnes Scott's firm friend, George Washington Scott.

There will be beginning, intermediate, and advanced classes in both tennis and swimming. In addition to the regular swimming classes a course in life sav-j ing will be offered. For the first time ] there will be a class for advanced arch¬ ery enthusiasts as well as for beginners. The riding classes will again be held at the Biltmore Riding School. Soc¬ cer, which was tried on the campus last year for the first time, has proved so popular that at the request of the Athletic Board it will be offered again this spring. Classes for both beginning and advanced golfers will play at For¬ rest Hills as they did last fall. May Day, which has always been popular in the spring, is open to any student who has paid her student bud¬ get and is eligible as far as her acad¬ emic work is concerned. Those taking May Day will be divided into groups to start on the dances which the May Day Committee is busy composing. Registration hours for the spring sea¬ son are: Thursday, Feb. 28 9:00-12:30 1:30-4:00 Friday, March 1 9:00-12:30 1:30-4:00 Saturday, March 2 9:00-12:30 Southern Personality Delights Listeners of Highest Paid Newspaperwoman A small, gracious lady clad in a black gown trimmed in jade, the fa¬ mous journalist, Dorothy Dix, in spite of her white hair, was delight¬ fully youthful. Having spoken at the Georgia Press Institute in Athens last Wednesday, she visited Atlanta Thurs¬ day as the guest of the Journal, and was honor guest at the Woman's club that afternoon. The highest paid woman journalist in the United States entertained her listeners with excerpts from amusing letters that she has received. All of them were concerned with domestic difficulties, such as: "You advised me how to get my husband; now tell me how to keep him." Miss Dix admitted that it takes spe¬ cial post office trucks to bring her mail to her. And for all these letters there can be no set answer, since she deals with individual problems. Dorothy Dix has thorough southern poise: when someone unexpectedly and heartily shook hands with her, remark¬ ing that she was "stealing this," Miss Dix smiled pleasantly, and when a young girl hastily crawled under a ta¬ ble to demand an autograph abruptly, Miss Dix gave it graciously.

Agnes Scott students are busy people. They have little time to do things for pleasure. On Sunday, however, studies are forgotten, and spare moments are spent on things they have been wanting to do all week. To many, that means exploring the magazines which have so often lured them away from par¬ allel or reference work for a few minutes and even made them give up trying to study in the library. Very few students can afford to buy many, if any, of the first class magazines, and the library is the only logical place to find them. However, these magazine readers must gaze wistfully at its closed doors, while the few free hours of the week slip by, or they must be satisfied with the few copies of Pictorial Review or McCall's which they can buy or borrow. The only possible objections to opening the library on Sun¬ day are that it might offer a temptation to study on Sunday and, therefore, might keep people from church, but there are simple answers to both of these arguments. Close the library in the morning and on Sunday evening during vespers; while it is open, require everybody to stay in the first reading rooms, and have someone at the desk to see that only magazines are used. It is deplorable that the magazines in the college library, which are the best in every field, should "go to waste" for so many hours, and that the students should be denied the great¬ est of their few opportunities for pleasant, profitable reading. The Wall Street Center of New York University is offering a special course on the current problems of finance and banking. We recommend such a course to Agnes Scott girls who continually overdraw their accounts in Mr. Tart's office.

Contrary to the evidence of ignorance presented by the length of the ineligible list, there are some zealous students who bring their books to the post office, and the prevailing hubbub hardly contributes to concentration. Or, what if Uncle Kb and Aunt Cora should break down and send us a few cookies? We would never know it; for, above the din of many voices, package call can hardly be heard. Now, although our fan-mail mav not equal that of Joan Crawford, yet by some re¬ mote chance, we might receive a letter from the O.A.O. (one and only) and might long for a quiet spot in which to ponder over his loving words. Can't we quietly Not Rush Around and "do our part" for the public welfare?

"College professor declares there are five kinds of dumbness," savs a news item. 1 le must be a conservativ e kind of a chap.— Kcntuckr Kernel. It seems to me that students should j be allowed a definite number of light! privileges a semester. This would not only benefit the student, but also the | house president, who has to judge when and to whom "lights" should be given, j On the part of the student a defi: nite number of light privileges would help her to realize the value of time. If she knows that she may have only a certain number of them, she will be careful not to waste time during the day. Secondly, she will not ask for "lights" when she does not need them. Finally, if each girl has a definite num | ber of cuts, justice will be dealt to all, and no one will feel indignant at not obtaining them. An allotted number of light privi¬ leges would also benefit the house pres¬ ident. In the first place, she would be relieved of the responsibility of decid¬ ing when "lights" are necessary. Sec¬ ondly, she would not have to argue with the student about "lights," and would not be bothered by requests each evening when she is trying to study. We think this plan could best be carried out in the following way: When a girl wishes to use her lights, she should report to her proctor, and then study either with the Senior on her wing or in the hall. The next morning the proctors should hand in the lists of names to the house pres¬ ident to keep on record. This method would simplify matters for both the house president and the student, and would make the matter of giving "lights" more agreeable to everyone. —Gene Brown. Campus Sanctions Dual Honor System What does the campus think of the present honor system? "The honor system at Agnes Scott," said Alberta Palmour, president of Stu¬ dent Government, in answer to the recent agitation about the system, "is as successful, if not more so, than at any other college I know of. We have had it since the organization of Student Government in 1906. In fact, it is the basis of Student Government." "A single honor system," Alberta continued, "is impossible. Even in our highly selected group, there are some who will not be honest. To report those who will not report themselves is love for the school and the honor of every student." Miss Nanette Hopkins, dean of the college, says, "It is more successful here j than anywhere I know of, except, may¬ be the University of Virginia." Miss j Hopkins added that she did not be- I lieve in putting temptation in the way of students and therefore a certain de¬ gree of supervision is necessary. Registrar G. S. Stukes is very much m favor of the honor system. "Students here don't realize how horrible it is with faculty control. It is unfair to say that the honor system has too many restrictions to be called an honor sys¬ tem, for honor involves not only keep¬ ing ourselves from suspicion, but also trying to have others do right." Mr. Haves Reports Success ! jMr. George P. Hayes, head of the English Department, said that in com-j parison with other schools, it is sue-1 cessful. "About the double honor sys-! tern, I don't know. Some girls report what they see; others do not. However,; the honor system as a whole does work, work." Elizabeth Alexander, president of the senior class, said, "The honor sys¬ tem here is as successful as could be found. But I think that the double honor system is not successful because I know people don't report each other." ■ Lucile Cairns thinks that we haven't a real honor system. "There is so much j more freedom during exams at other colleges and universities." Mary Buckholz said, "I think fac¬ ulty control would be better." ! In these interviews, seven people gave their idea of the present honor system, but to get the concensus of opinion the following question was asked to fifty A. S. C. students chosen at random: "Do vou think the Honor System is successful at Agnes Scott?" Of these 41 replied affirmatively and 9 negatively. fiEVW Flash!

XX Agonistic Names College Editors Among Judges Contest Closes With Freshman Issue on March 6 The annual Agonistic contest closed on last Wednesday with the publication of the freshman paper. The four class editions were mailed to the judges the latter part of the week. The judges for this year are the editors of The Sun¬ dial, Randolph-Macon, Lynchburg, Va.; The Radcliffe News, Radcliffe News, Radcliffe College, Cambridge, Mass.; Vassar Miscellany News, Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.; James Tolbert, editor of The Emory Wheel; and Mr. N. S. Noble, city editor of The Atlanta Constitution. The papers are to be judged on the following points: the quality of the news articles in consideration of style and completeness; the use and type of features; the appropriateness and tone of the editorials; and the quality and variety of the make-up. The Agon¬ istic cup will be awarded to the win¬ ning class editor as soon as the opin¬ ions of the judges are received; it is hoped that the award can be made be¬ fore spring holidays. The Agonistic contest, begun in 1928, has become an annual affaiir; its purpose is to discover new talent and new ideas for the regular editions of the paper. The Agonistic cup, which is awarded each year to the editor of the winning paper, was won by the class of 1931 four times. Last year the freshman paper was judged the best edition and the cup was presented to Laura Steele, editor, and Kathryn Bowen, business manager. Professor Goes To Installation Miss Emma May Laney, associate professor of English at Agnes Scott College, returned to the campus on Wednesday, March 6, from a two-day visit to the Florida State College for Women at Tallahassee, where she as¬ sisted, as delegate from Agnes Scott, the installation of the Alpha Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. Miss Laney was the guest of Miss Elizabeth Lynn, '27, who is instructor of physics at the State College. The Alpha Chapter is the first chap¬ ter of Phi Beta Kappa to be installed in Florida. Of the three divisions of the college—College of Liberal Arts, School of Education, and School of Domestic Science—only students of the College of Liberal Arts are eligible The eighteen charter members are those of the faculty who are Phi Beta Kappa members from other institutions. The installation was attended by delegates from Bates College in Maine to Miami University. Of the notable educators present, Dean Christian Gauss of Princeton, President David A. Rob¬ ertson of Goucher College, and Dean Virginia Gildersleeve of Barnard Col¬ lege were outstanding. President The¬ odore H. Jack of Randolph-Macon, formerly dean at Emory, was also pres¬ ent.

No.-17 / S Handle and White Win Health Title In Contest Thirty Represent Organizations For "Miss Health" Helen Handte and Nell White tied for the title of "Miss Health" for 193 5; Julia Thing and Mary Kneale placed second in the contest held at Bucher Scott gymnasium last Friday evening. From the thirty competitors, repre¬ senting various campus organizations, Helen Handte was Miss Pi Alpha Phi; Nell White, Miss Lecture Association; Julia Thing, Miss French Club; and Mary Kneale, Miss Tennis Club. The candidates were judged not only on their health records, checked over by Dr. Mary F. Sweet, Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, and Julia Thing, but also on their weight, feet, posture, and car¬ riage which were judged by Miss Wil¬ burn and Miss Harriette Haynes. Frances McCalla, president of the Athletic Association, announced the contestants, and Miss Leslie Gaylord was official scorer. Out of a possible forty points, Helen Handte and Nell White obtained 36.5, and Julia Thing and Mary Kneale obtained 34. In the contest the girls wore bathing suits and placards of the organizations they rep¬ resented. Each girl was judged as she marched once around the front of the gymnasium. Alice Hannah played the piano during the contest and intermis¬ sion. The following were candidates: Eva Constantine, Miss Agonistic; Frances Robinson, Miss Athletic Association; Anna Humber, Miss Aurora; Marie Simpson, Miss Bible Club; Marguerite Morris, Miss Blackfriars; Laura Whitner, Miss Chi Beta Phi Sigma; Sara Cureton, Miss Citizenship Club; Jaqueline Woolfolk, Miss Cotillion Club; Augusta King, Miss Day Student; Isa¬ bel McCain, Miss Eta Sigma Phi; Julia Thing, Miss French Club; Laura Coit, Miss Freshman; Caroline Long, Miss Mortar Board; Mary Snow, Miss May Day; Caroline Elliott, Miss Pen and Brush Club; Kitty Printup, Miss Po¬ etry Club; Helen Handte, Miss Pi Al¬ pha Phi; Mary Gill-espie, Miss Silhou¬ ette; Mary Malone, Miss Sophomore Class; Lois Hart, Miss Spanish Club; Jennie Champion, Miss German Club; Frances Wilson, Miss Glee Club; Barton Jackson, Miss Granddaughters; Made¬ line Race, Miss International Relations Club; Sarah Jones, Miss Junior Class; Marie Wagner, Miss K.

Student Officers Are Nominated Popular nominations of student offi¬ cers for next year were held in chapel on last Saturday morning. These nom¬ inations together with the Committee ticket will be posted in Buttrick hall on Monday, March 18, and elections will be held on March 21, for officers of the organizations, and on March 22, for editors and business managers of the publications. This year students were asked to nominate two juniors for the position of assistant editor of the Agonistic. An¬ other change was the nomination of two girls, a junior and a senior, for the office of student treasurer. The work required of the person holding each of these places has been found to take too much time for one person to do the work thoroughly. The time of elections was changed last year from an indefinite hour late in the afternoon to an extended chapel period. This change was made so that more day students and upperclassmen would attend.

The confusion and inconvenience occasioned by the present system under which the payment of the budget is optional, are again confronting the heads of the campus organizations; such an unwieldy situation which repeats itself every semester stands definitely in need of investigation. Either the existing plan should be more efficiently conducted or a new one inaugurated which would include the payment of the student budget in the tuition. The latter method has worked successfully in many eastern colleges and in our chronic state of uncertainty about the budget funds, would seem an advisable experiment at Agnes Scott. The disadvantages of the present system are undeniable. There is constant confusion in making out the staffs of publi¬ cations, class teams, the casts of plays, May Day casts, etc, since students on the Black List are not allowed to take part in any activities supported by the student budget. As the Black List is not posted at the beginning of each semester, students may re¬ ceive publications and participate in these organizations for a certain period without fulfilling the financial obligation in¬ volved, and the principles of the existing system are thereby vio¬ lated. The burden of book-keeping and the constant checking of student lists, necessarily incident to the plan, fall upon the all too busy heads of organizations and merely add a fresh length of red tape to the somewhat tangled skein of campus activities. Furthermore, since the amount of money which each organ¬ ization will receive from the budget is uncertain for such a long time, no organization can make out a definite financial pro¬ gram in advance. Until the spring term, the returns from the budget can neither be ascertained nor apportioned, and the serious difficulties which therefore, confront the business man¬ agers of the publications and the treasurers of other organiza¬ tions is self-evident. If the budget formed a definite part of the tuition, each club, publication, and the three major organiza¬ tions would know from the beginning the exact amount which it would receive and could plan more simply and successfully the year's expenditures. The chief objection raised to a compulsory payment of the student budget included in the tuition, is that there are students financially unable to meet this extra demand, and would be ex¬ cluded entirely from admission on this account. To those who can afford tuitions at all, however, the additional fifteen dollars, now optional, would not loom large enough to be a decisive fac¬ tor, and with scholarship funds available to almost all students, the extra expense could be met without too great a strain on the students' purse. Furthermore, if all students contributed to the budget, the amount would probably be reduced. In view of the difficulties of the present system, a compul¬ sory student budget seems the only solution: it would eliminate burdensome book-keeping and illegal participation in campus activities, facilitate the financial programs of student organiza¬ tions, and thereby place the whole functioning of extracurricular organizations on a simpler basis. By Margaret Robins | War Crisis Imminent In 1918, war-wean1 and supposedly j wiser nations turned expectantly to an j era of peace. The "war to end war" j had cost them dearly. Now there was j to be no more conflict of armed pow¬ ers. As a preventive measure, disarm /ment agreements were signed and sealed. The reign of peace began. Now in 193 5 we have had sixteen years of that peace. What is the result¬ ing situation? As estimated from for¬ eign policy reports, those same nations most critically involved in the Great War plan to spend for national defense in 193 5, $4,610,73 5,830—or almost double the amount spent for that pur¬ pose in the fateful days of 1914. Nations Increase Arms Italy among others has not failed to utilize this period of so-called peace. Through the Council of Ministers, Mussolini has decreed compulsory mili¬ tary service for Italians. A stricter en¬ forcement of conscription is being made, to lead to the ultimate recruiting of 60,000 men who have heretofore escaped military service. In addition, Italy plans to build this year the two largest battleships in the world. Germany is busying herself with ac¬ tivities which conflict strongly with ideals of world peace. She has, not¬ withstanding the limitations of the Versailles Treaty, probably more than a million men prepared for service, and in semi-military organizations she also has a large supply of partially trained youths, who with something less than six weeks of further instruction could take their places in the first line troops. There is no longer an attempt to hide the fact that she has made an increase of armaments, as well as an increase of (Continued on page 4, column 1) BOOK NOTES Fareivell to Revolution — Everett Dean Martin. First, keenly and searchingly, Mr. Martin weighs many common defini¬ tions of revolution, and rejects them as inadequate. Later he probes into the fundamental causes, such as the work¬ ings of "crowd mentality." Touching on the "romance of revolution," the author states that revolutionists are too romantic in that they depend upon "emotion rather than intelligence as a guide to behavior." They make them¬ selves believe that "history is melo¬ drama." And what does revolution come to?—"What the people get out of revolution is new tyranny for old." The Glory Road—Arthur Hopkins. A stirring panoramic cavalcade of the great economic and idealistic strug¬ gles of mankind in order as they come: "liberty, equality, fraternity" . . . slav¬ ery of the machine age . . . struggle for world peace and brotherhood . . . de¬ pression. The treatment is allegorical; the style, "quick and rhythmic, as though written to be acted." One Light Burning—R. C. Hutch inson. The beautiful story of a late-in-life love so idealized and heroic that it stands out vividly against the more sordid background of most modern fic¬ tion. Folloiv the Furies—Eleanor C. Chilton. In this unusual story a successful novelist, Linton, places intelligence and judgment above all else. His eldest daughter learns this philosophy of logic from her father, finding tragedy and defeat in the end because of its inade¬ quacy. In spite of their weaknesses, however, the characters are human and sincere. The Autobiography of George VC'ash| ington—Editor E. C. Boykin. From Washington's own accounts of his daily doings, Mr. Boykin has ar. ranged a fairly connected narrative of | this great life. The material is skilfully ; chosen to reveal the little-known inner j character of Washington by a truly i self-painted portrait. By Liselotte Roennecke I would like to know what each one of you expects of Germany! Do you think it is very much like America? Or are you afraid to come to a country of half-wild people? I found both these ideas in hundreds of questions I had to answer in these five months I have been in America. Now, I will try today to tell you some things which are different and which may interest or even surprise you. Imagine you are sitting in a car, driving on a German highway. Be careful, these roads are not so straight and smooth as yours are, there are curves and curves, and villages every ten minutes with dogs and playing chil¬ dren. There is no white line in the mid¬ dle of the road, it is not so necessary, because you don't meet one car after the other as you do here. But atten¬ tion is turned aside bv the picturesque country, by fields and woods and little brooks which are not hidden by big wooden advertisements. You are hun¬ gry? Well, you will look in vain for a drug store on the highway, or even in the town. Drug stores, with tables and chairs, with ice cream and sand¬ wiches are unknown in my country; and so is the curb service which seems so comfortable for Americans, who don't like to move and exercise a little bit: they have to do it in Germany, whether they want to or not. You will enter the garden of the little inn where you get milk or beer or wine (but no coca-cola) sitting under the old oak trees which may tell you of the last hundred years they have seen. I hope you don't want an ice cream, because I really doubt that they will have it in this little village inn. Maybe you get it in the next town, when it is summer; in winter you will get it only in one of the exclusive hotels, and surely not for ten cents! Sandwich? Oh yes, but they will look funny to you! Probably a kind of heavy, dark bread, with butter and big slice of sau¬ sage—you don't know it here at all— or cheese. But you would scarcely call it a sandwich; it does not look so fragile and delicate and white. It is something to eat, when you are hun gry! Now, you start again. Don't try to put on the radio in the car; you will not find it in a German car, I am sure. And, please, do not drive too Club News Eta Sigma Phi Miss Lillian Smith was hostess at cof¬ fee, Tuesday night, March 5, in honor of Dr. Whicher, who spoke in chapel that morning on Horace. Members of Eta Sigma Phi were invited, and after coffee Dr. Whicher read some of his poetry. The last meeting of Eta Sigma Phi was held jointly with the Sigma chap¬ ter of Emory University, Wednesday night, March 6. Amy Underwood spoke on Plautus, and the members of the two chapters rehearsed a Latin play which will be presented at some time in the near future. Pi Alpha Phi Pi Alpha Phi will hold its regular meeting tomorrow night in Miss Gooch's studio. Marie Townscnd, Lena Sweet, Frances Belford, and Fannie B. Harris will debate at this time.

Probably, you will miss the men who hitchhike? Maybe we exchange students will in¬ troduce this nice custom in our coun¬ try; they don't know it yet at all. You have reached the big town and are looking for a hotel. I don't think you are so wealthy as to pay for a room with bath. You are surprised, but I am sorry that I must tell you that such a comfort does not belong to every apartment in our hotels. I told you already that our meals are rather different from yours: you will find no sweet potatoes, or pineapple with may¬ onnaise. On the other hand, no one would dare to offer you lettuce as you eat it in America; only the poultry would get it like this. You want to go shopping. You will look in vain for ten-cent stores. They destroy the business of all small shops and therefore are not allowed in Ger¬ many, because we want everyone to have the possibility of making a liv¬ ing, not only some big managers. But, besides this you get everything in Germany as well as in America. "Hallo, Nelly!" That is nice that you meet your boy friend! He will ac¬ company you on your walk—and will always go on your left side! So you will always know on what side to find him, and it is more comfortable for him too, not to dance around you all the time. Don't you think so too? You will have a date with him at night. But not in the car! It would be shocking. Probably you will go to an opera, perhaps to a picture show. Afterwards you will have a glass of wine in one of the awfully nice com¬ fortable restaurants, with a lamp on each table and easy-chairs and an or¬ chestra. Or you will stay with some family at their home, will listen to the radio—without advertisement!— or sit near the open fire and talk or dance—just as in America. Do you have an idea now? I could tell you many other things which are different, such as that you shake hands with everyone you meet or leave, that we don't have the mail boxes out¬ side the house near the road, that you will never find a place where old cars are buried—and finally, that we don't have a single Negro in Germany! I saw the first one in my life when I came to America!

John¬ son, instructor of voice at Agnes Scott, will present a forty-minute program of sacred music at the Glenn Memorial Church at Emory University, on Sun¬ day, March 24. Soloists will be Betty Lou Houck and Virginia Wood. Mr. Christian Dieckmann, of Agnes Scott, will accompany the chorus on the or¬ gan. During the past week, the Glee Club has appeared at various churches in Atlanta and Decatur, giving programs of religious music. On Sunday, March 3, the chorus sang at the Pattillo Me¬ morial Church in Decatur; on Tues¬ day, March 3, at the Decatur Presby¬ terian Church; and on Sunday, March 10, at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Atlanta. The neatest thought of the week comes from one of our professor friends. Says he: "No matter where you spend your money or what you buy with it, be it a Coca-Cola, a suit, or a new car, the customer's always right. But you come to college and spend lots of money for the orivilege, and just the opposite holds true." Just what we've been complaining about.— The Rhig-Tiim-Pbi.

In accordance with the new plan de¬ vised by the club council at Agnes Scott, all try-outs for the language clubs take place the same week. French and Spanish were held Monday after¬ noon, March 11; German Club this afternoon. This ruling establishes a special time for language clubs, thereby putting them all on an equal basis, and makes uniform the requirements for trying out. For admission into every lan¬ guage organization, a two-minute con¬ versation and a five-minute play are necessary. Baptist Leader Speaks in Chapel Mr. W. E. Denham, representative of the Baptist Student Union for At¬ lanta colleges, on Saturday, March 9, honored Agnes Scott with a most in¬ teresting and helpful speech in chapel. He discussed the ways in which one may get the best out of college, sug¬ gesting that students first, think for themselves; second, study themselves to see where their difficulties lie; third, have confidence; and fourth, follow a philosophy of life. Those Baptists who enjoyed this talk are invited to hear Mr. Denham speak again on Thursday night, March 14, in the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet room.

SO THIS IS PEACE (Continued from page 2, column 3) soldiers, which exceeds the treaty standard. With a watchful eye on her neigh¬ bors France refuses to allow herself to be outstripped in war-like preparations. In the last few years she has laid out fortifications along the frontier at a sum double the amount spent for forti¬ fications in the forty years immediately preceding the Great War. At Paris 2 3,000 gas shelters have been erected. The number of planes has been increas¬ ed to 6,000. Air invincibility is plan¬ ned at a cost of six billion francs. Not to fall behind, Great Britain has increased national expenditures by more than $200,000,000 over expenditures of 1914. A large part of this sum she has devoted to what is spoken of by British citizens as "security" on the sea. What has been done toward prepar¬ ation in the past may be far surpassed in the days to come. The admiralty demands for the future twenty-five battle cruisers at $23,000,000 each. Gas experiments are proceeding rapidly, and bombers which can be guided by radio have been perfected. Japan looms over the horizon of p>eace as one of the most formidable of foes.

It was "the biggest factor in giving reemployment to approximately four million people." Under it, he declared, "the age-old curse of child labor has been lifted, the sweat-shop outlawed, millions of wage- earners have been released from the starvation wages and excessive hours of labor."

Approxmately 93 use the swimming pool three times weekly in classes alone, minus the number who go in at plunge periods. Supervised riding at the Biltmore Riding School on Roxborough Road is the chosen sport for spring days to 39 girls, who ride either once or twice a week. Archery is a close fifth with 3 6 participants; an advanced archery class will be held this year for the first time. Golf and soccer run about the same in enrollment. At the Ingleside golf course, 26 girls weekly wield their clubs in the face of a strong March wind. Soccer, starting again for the second season, will engage 24 girls; two teams will be formed of the sophomores against the combined other three classes. Noted Life Saver To Instruct Here Mr. Ray Eaton, American Red Cross head of Life Saving in the south¬ east, will be in Atlanta Monday, Tues¬ day, and Wednesday, March 18, 19, and 20.

Varsity Team The basketball Varsity Council, at a meeting last week-end, selected the following girls for this year's varsity team: Forwards, Helen Handte, Ade¬ laide Stevens, Katherine Bishop, Kath erine Bennett; guards, Marie Stalker, Leonora Spencer, and Elizabeth Bur- son. The junior class team will be awarded the basketball banner. In point of games, the juniors won five, the sophomores won four and tied one, and the freshmen and seniors won one each. The high point players were Ad Stevens, first; Helen Handte, second; and Ann Walker and Eliza¬ beth Blackshear, tying for third. The council which selects the bas¬ ketball varsity is made up of Miss Page Ackerman, of the gym department, Miss Blanche Miller, and Miss Sarah Bowman, both of the biology depart¬ ment, Helen Handte, and Mary Kneale. The players are chosen on their work in the six games of the season.

Williams, of Indiana University, will be the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the south¬ eastern section of the Mathematical As¬ sociation of America, to be held at Agnes Scott College, March 21-22. Professor Williams, who is a leading authority on relativity, will read two papers at this meeting, the first en¬ titled The Movement of Mercury's Perihelion, and the second, The Place of Mathematics in Secondary Educa¬ tion. Eleven other papers will also be read by members of the association, among which will be one by Professor W. W. Rankin of Duke University, formerly professor of mathematics at Agnes Scott. These meetings will be held in Room 203 in Buttrick Hall, from 4:00 to 6:00 on Friday after¬ noon, and from 8:43 to 12:00 on Sat¬ urday morning. The student body is invited to attend. Physicists to Organize Leading physicists of the Southeast will also meet here in order to form a southern section of the American Phy¬ sical Society. Every southern state east of the Mississippi is expected to be rep¬ resented. Several of the physicists will read research papers at Agnes Scott on Fri¬ day afternoon. Professor Schuyler Christian, of physics and astronomy at Agnes Scott, will present two papers. The following morning the delegates will meet at Emory University to or¬ ganize. The purpose of this new sec¬ tion is to further research work in the South. The following compose the organi¬ zation committee: Dr. W. S. Nelms, of Emory; Dr. J. B. Edwards, of Georgia Tech; Dr. L. L. Hendren, of the University of Georgia; Dr. C. W. Edwards, of Duke; Dr. Ruark, of the University of North Carolina; and Dr. Bless, of the University of Florida. Science Academy to Meet The Georgia Academy of Science, convening at the same time, will have as its guest speaker Dr. Alexander Sil verman, of the University of Pitts- burg; his subject will be Glass: An Indispensable Factor in Modern Civi¬ lization. Dr. R. C. Rhodes, retiring president of the group, will talk on the Opportunity of a Democracy to Regulate the Nature of its Population. Professor Schuyler Christian, of the physics department; Professor Mary MacDougall and Associate Professor T. W. Whitiker, both of thg biology de¬ partment; Associate Professor Philippa Gilchrist, of the chemistry department; Assistant Professor Katherine T. Om- wake and Associate Professor Emily S.

H. Compton To Lecture Here On Cosmic Rays Important Organizations To Meet Here on March 22nd to Attend Illustrated Lecture More distinguished in the field of science than Edna St. Vincent Millay in the field of poetry is Dr. Arthur Holly Compton, the noted physicist who will lecture on Cosmic Rays Fri¬ day evening, March 22, in the Bucher Scott gymnasium at Agnes Scott Col¬ lege. In order to be able to hear Dr. Compton, several important organiza¬ tions have made special arrangements for their meetings: members of the Mathematics Association will be here from six Southern states, and leading physicists from the East Atlantic states who had expected to organize a group later in the spring, are convening at this time instead. The Georgia Acad¬ emy of Science will meet here instead of in Savannah as planned. However, in spite of these indications of scien¬ tific interest, lay audiences are assured of being able to understand Dr. Comp¬ ton. He is said to be entirely clear to people not scientifically trained. An Interesting Personality The pleasing and attractive person¬ ality of Dr. Compton makes him an in¬ teresting speaker. Those of the faculty who have heard him say that he is a delightful person, well-worth seeing and hearing. His brilliance is attested to by his awards of the Nobel Prize in 1927, the Rumford gold medal in 1927, by the American Academy of Arts and Science, and a gold medal by the Radiological Society of North America. Of Distinguished Family Dr. Compton is listed in the 1934-3 3 Who's Who, as are his father and two brothers, who are also distinguished. All three brothers are members of Phi Beta Kappa. Their mother, Mrs. Elias Compton, has been referred to as the "mother of the Gracchi"; she herself in 1932 had an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws conferred upon her. Although he is best known for his work with rays, Dr. Compton has also made important discoveries con¬ cerning atoms, particularly the X-rays and the way they scatter when pro¬ jected into crystals. Following his talk at 8:30, there will be a reception in the Agnes Scott day students' room. Tickets for the lec¬ ture are now on sale at prices of 3 0c and 73c for students, and 73c and $1 for outsiders. Mary Boggs Wins Quenelle Harrold Scholarship Mary Boggs was awarded the Quen¬ elle Harrold Graduate Fellowship at a meeting of the Academic Council on Tuesday night, March 12. The council, which is made up of the professors on the faculty, Dr. J. R. McCain, presi¬ dent, and Miss Nannette Hopkins, dean, granted the fellowship to Mary for advanced work in an institution approved by them. She will probablv continue her study of German after graduation. For the past two years Mary has held the Collegiate Scholarship which is given to the student in the three under classes who attains the highest general proficiency. Mary was elected to Phi Beta Kappa at the February announce¬ ments; she is also editor of The Ago¬ nistic and a member of Mortar Board. The Quenelle Harrold Foundation was established by Mrs. Thomas Har¬ rold, of Americus, in honor of her daughter, who graduated from Agnes Scott in the class of 1923. The income from the $10,000 which she contrib¬ uted is used to provide this graduate fellowship. ®l)e Agonistic Subscription price, $1.25 per year in advance. Single copies, 5 c.

Agnes Scott will never be coordinated with Emory in any way, but a plan of coopera¬ tion may be worked out which will prove beneficial to both schools. Emory and Agnes Scott may thus be able to strengthen some of their departments, or even bring in new departments. For ex¬ ample, both need a department of archaeology, additional courses in astronomy, and in political science. At present plans are being made for a school of Social Science at Emory. Agnes Scott is working with Emory on these plans, and the school will possibly be opened year after next. The plan of cooperation will also be carried into the Library system. There may be an exchange of books at times, and, in buying new books, especially valuable books, Agnes Scott will attempt to buy books which Emory does not have, and vice versa. Even with the plans in this undeveloped state, the general idea seems valuable. A system which will benefit both Agnes Scott and Emory is of course worth while. Martha Redwine. Since the plan of coordinating some of the courses at Agnes Scott and Emory is to be realized in a measure next year, it is interesting to consider a few of the advantages of this plan. The greatest advantage in coordination, it seems to me, is the opportunity it will afford to broaden the curricula at the two institutions, and at the same time to eliminate unnecessary dupli¬ cation—small departments, such as the classical, may be com¬ bined at Agnes Scott and Emory. Certain other departments will be expanded by additional courses being offered; particularly will expansion be possible in philosophy, economics, sociology, political science, and the fine arts. Certain courses which havej not been offered before in any of these institutions, such as j archaeology and geology, will possibly be offered under this plan, j Consummating the plan of cooperation will be the establish¬ ment of a finer graduate school offering the Ph. D. degree in this section of the country. There has existed for a long time a need for just this type of work here in the South. It is fascinating to surmise the endless possibilities of coordi¬ nating the two institutions. The need is so great, the constitu¬ ency so large, the instructors so highly qualified, and the physical facilities so adequate, that things yet undreamed of may result. Alberta Palmour. THE GENTLE ART OF CONVERSATION The day of the bright-spun repartee of the salon where words danced like the light changing pattern of a ballet, and the day of the doughty wit of the tavern and the coffee house with its broad brandish and its quick thrust, are vanished, it seems, from the earth. And we, children of a lesser day, have lost the spritely art of conversation along with the antique ambition to write Latin verses or compose a serenade; pity 'tis 'tis true. We have ceased apparently to know the intellectual zest of wooing a word or to feel the thrill of le mot juste and the neat phrase, and before our indifference, words have lost much of their verve, their color and their independence and, faded into non¬ entity. We fumble with them, blur them, sap them of mean¬ ing by indiscrimnate repetition or leave them in pale disuse on the pages of a dictionary; and without the creative sense of the individual potentialities of a word, we inevitably extract the flavor, the bright suggestive overtones, from conversation; it becomes technical, tepid or nonsensical. Not that we would seek to be lost in a beautiful nebula of words adrift from idea, but with a more adept use of them ideas are quickened into ac¬ tion—to flash, to pierce, to mingle—instead of falling, half- formed and futile midway between those who are talking. And it is this quickening of idea that is our dominant need in an age when ideas are too easily catalogued and dismissed: to free thought from the text-book, give it vigor by contact with (Continued on Page 4, Col. 4) The Agonistic BOOK NOTES 1. Of Time and the River—Thomas Wolfe. Thomas W life's 45 0,000-word novel is an ecstatic reiteration of the author's deep, almost frantic love for life and for the world. There is little plot; but the rich, exuberant words rush out, crowding and overflowing in their eag¬ erness, to make a story in which every tiniest experience, every momentary glimpse, every look, or every smile, assumes gigantic importance and clam¬ ors for a just appreciation from man¬ kind. Wolfe is "word-drunk" and sick of a "magnificent malady: it may be called gigantism of the soul." 2. The Time is Ripe—Walter Green¬ wood. A revealing novel that tells, at last, the truth about economic England today—the England which other writ¬ ers have for some reason evaded. The hero is a coal miner of the Manchester country, left helpless and bewildered after her mine closes down. There fol¬ lows a vivid picture of the dole and of the cruel, prying indignities of the "Means Test." The story is told not only with pity but, also with a subtle sympathetic humor. 3. Dante Vivo—Giovanni Papini. Papini, feeling the deadness and lack of artistry in simple facts, interprets, embroiders, and creates until ex nihilo he has made a portrait of Dante the man. The scanty data about Dante do not daunt him in the least. He makes a heroic attempt to write as one would of a person living today; and the re¬ sult is a fascinating fantasy. 4. Shining and Free—G. B. Stern. A novel which neither turns the Jewish people's "racial idiosyncrasies" into hilarious comedy nor exaggerates "small human woes" of the Jews into "profound racial grievances." Instead it treats the Jews as people, humanly di¬ verse in personality. 6. Wheels and Butterflies—William Butler Yeats. Four short plays, all dealing with the supernatural and spiritual. Three are for dancers and are adapted by the author from old Japanese forms. These plays "read better than they play." Scientist's Career Dates From Youth By Frances Espy What is the difference between a three-toed and a five-toed elephant? Arthur H. Compton, at the inquiring age of ten, wrote a paper developing his own personal theories on the ques¬ tion. Thus early displaying a scientific bent, he continued his activities, build¬ ing and flying a glider at the age of fifteen, constructing—from an ordi¬ nary timepiece and an old camera—an astronomical clock at the age of seven¬ teen, and inventing a gyroscopic de¬ vice for control of airplane equilibrium a few years later. Today Dr. Compton is professor of physics at Chicago University and one of America's foremost scientists. Only forty-two, he has to his credit a list of honors long enough to cover a life¬ time. He has been awarded the Rumford Gold Medal by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Gold Medal of the Radiological Society of North America, and most note¬ worthy of all, the Nobel Prize in 1927 for his discoveries concerning cosmic rays. Dr. Compton's future work will have to do with the make-up of atoms as affected by these rays. In a re¬ cently published interview he expressed the opinion that physical and chem¬ ical methods of making artificial liv¬ ing cells will be developed in the fu¬ ture. Dr. Compton finds no basis for con¬ flict between religion and science. He has always been deeply interested in religious and philosophical questions. While an undergraduate at Wooster College in Ohio he won a prize offered in philosophy. I WorkFor Wits 1. Name the discoverer of the Pacific. 2. Who is known as the Poets' Poet? 3.

A Glance At The Cuban Revolt By Alice Dunbar Cuba is suffering from a revolution¬ ary strike against the administration of President Carlos Mendieta. The gov¬ ernment has seized the weapon forged more than a year ago by its enemies and has declared the existence of a state of war throughout Cuba in its grim battle to escape overthrow. The order prohibits all persons on the street at night without special military pass and gives the military powers unlimited authority. The death penalty for rebels has been imposed, constitutional law has been suspended, and military gover¬ nors have been appointed for Havana and other provinces. To what can we attribute this re¬ cent action? The government gives as its reason the fact that there was a state of strike and revolutionary prop¬ aganda in Cuba which made such ac¬ tion necessary. For days strikes and bombings have been disturbing the life of Havana. There has been a desire to remove from office President Carlos Mendieta and Colonel Fulgencio Batista as chief of the army. Students and soldiers have taken opposite sides of the question. Over 300,000 students and teachers have gone on a strike against the government, and employees of the Departments of Treasury, Edu¬ cation, Labor, Justice, Communica¬ tions, Commerce, and Agriculture have left their jobs. However, the army has taken steps to suppress the revolt and to get some of the public employees back to their jobs. Havana has been almost like a ghost city. It has been caught in the fight of the government and has suffered almost total paralysis. Cruises to Cuba have been canceled. Most of the island has been without ice, without trans¬ portation, and without mail or news¬ papers, as union after union has joined the nationwide general strike. Al¬ though many stores and commercial houses at first tried to remain open for business, few of them had clerks or employees. The streets of Havana have had little traffic because the transpor¬ tation strike includes taxicab drivers and because the streets have been lit¬ tered with roofing nails by strikers. Some automobiles have been equipped with two ordinary house brooms tied in front of the fenders to sweep nails from the path of the tires. Government employees fear that a two-to-five-ycar prison term will be meted out to them if they join the strikers. President Carlos Mendieta has been in office since January 18, 1934. At one time Cuba seemed to be on the road to democracy and economic im¬ provement, but the government's re¬ pressive measures have now dashed hopes to pieces. Colonel Batista is helping to put down the revolt. Cu¬ bans say of him, "Just so long as a government is approved by Batista, just so long can it retain power." Americans have always been inter¬ ested in Cuba on account of her close proximity to our shores and are watch¬ ing the present disturbed situation in Cuba with a great deal of interest. The Agonistic GIDDY Hullo again! Fitful child, ain't I? But what with spring being expected almost any month now and elections practically here, I had to take a final shot. Spring and politics—what a combination! Just that—I owe nothing to Lydia Pinkham! The pseudo-spring breezes of last week brought a wave of "fine writ¬ ing" to the campus too. Out of the heart of a star-gazing •(by profession) faculty member surged this: "Cosmic ray, passing through the wall, If I could know what you are, all in all, I would know past and future of the universe Surrounding this terrestrial ball." Hot, huh? And our religious speak¬ er had his moment, too. Standing on Buttrick steps with the greater part of Mama Nature bursting into bloom be¬ fore him, Dr. Poteat howled out the following sentiment in a somewhat halting burst of passion: "Something accomplished; something done. Something lost; something won. Went to sleep with the set o' sun. Woke next day like a son-of-a-gun." [ Firestone Service Stores, Inc. Ponce de Leon Ave. & Church St. Phone De. 2111 Tires—Tubes—Batteries Accessories Texaco Gas and Oils Road Service BOWEN GOSSIP • • Well, I guess you just can't have genius and transition, too. Transition reminds of that peaceful day in chapel last week when, in the midst of an inquiry into what makes us go, Dr. Poteat bellowed forth in a complaining tone "How come you do me like you do, do, do?" To use the combined language of the Department of the Home and the psychology de¬ partment, the reaction was mainly yeasty! Mary Gray Rogers is now in the midst of perfecting a new plan for de¬ livering books from the library. She works conscientiously on it because, she says, it'll speed up the service no end. I must away again. There are ad¬ vantages, I find, with being a nowyou- see-me-now-you-don't person.

WE THINK (Editor's note: The We Think column is for the purpose of giving an outlet to student opin¬ ion. The staff is in no way responsible for what is printed in this column and it is by no means to be taken as the editorial opinion of the paper.) The election of student officers for 1935-'36, which will be held tomor¬ row and Friday, will determine the campus leaders, not only for next year but, in a large measure, for the fol¬ lowing session when members from the present sophomore class will rise from assistant editorship to editorship, from the office of secretary to that of president or vice-president. The im¬ portance of our impartial judgment of capability in selecting these people is self-evident. The realization of this un¬ prejudiced vote is, apparently, quite difficult. During the days preceding the elec¬ tions we find ourselves faced seriously with a condition which has never be¬ fore existed to such an extent at Agnes Scott—that of pure and unadulterated politicking, done openly, in broad day light, and with no regard for its dis¬ honesty and corruption. Upperclassmen are disgusted; freshmen are bewildered.

(Sizes 11 to 17) COLLEGE SHOP —THIRD FLOOR RICH'S Dr. Poteat Seen At Off Moments By Lulu Ames There are interviews and interviews. And then there's Dr. Poteat. For ex¬ ample, after a few preliminaries of an unusual sort, he said, "Take a problem." Which I did. "Three farm¬ ers went to town one day to sell some eggs. One had 85 eggs; another 50; and the third 15. They all got to town at the same time, sold all their eggs at the same price, per dozen, per egg, and all left town at the same time with the same amount of money. How did it happen?" Whereupon I looked at the problem while Dr. Poteat played with his pencil and whistled happily "I Believe in Miracles." When the prob¬ lem had been solved—by Dr. Poteat— we moved on to other things. Cats and elephants. Cats are "great animals"; elephants, he said, "are not adapted to the household," nor yet made "to sit in your lap—they muss your clothes up." About smoking he said, "I don't like to see girls smoke. They always hope they'll look like the girls in the ads, and they never do. They smoke more than men do; they smoke too much when they smoke. And they don't smell good!" Agnes Scott, he said, is great. He enjoyed especially the new hymns in chapel. "President McCain left me a hymnal and the other morning when I was working through it I came across that song (the Wednesday morning one) and I could tell by looking at it that it was a good hymn. And you all pitched in and sang it as though you had known it all your lives. I like to learn new hymns; there's no harm in it. And when I see a new hymn, I'm just like a hen after a June-bug!" By this time forty-five minutes had passed, pleasantly and comfortably, yet or at Washington, is more than a stag¬ gering indictment against the corrup¬ tion in our city and national politics; it is a deliberate lowering of the Agnes Scott standard of democracy and honesty. To those girls who have been agi¬ tating their names and those of their friends, auctioning off their honor and that of the school for a dozen or more votes—we would reply, "If your cap¬ ability, interest and faithfulness are so meager that, of necessity, you must dangle shining beads before your friends in order to win the opportunity of scribbling your name before Editor of the Silhouette, President of Student «?» * % Spring Time is the Time to T t * f Think of * ❖ Decatur Beauty Salon % ♦> * ❖ ♦I4"l* *■!•* *1*%*'I*•J4 ♦i**t* "t* ♦I* ♦J* *1* Try Our : SANDWICHES We Make Them Right LAWRENCE'S PHARMACY Phones De. 0762-0763 I could see easily that we were getting nowhere much faster than I was ac¬ customed to move. I had nothing for an article so for fifteen minutes we labored to get "something hot"; we faded. We parted then; Dr. Poteat with the feeling that / had never interview¬ ed anyone before and I with the feel¬ ing that be had never been interviewed before. In a chance serious moment on Sat¬ urday, however, while we were wait¬ ing for his train, he expressed the be¬ lief that young people today "are much more alert than ever before. They are willing and eager to do things. They are more fair-minded. They want to know things. And I'm all for the young people; I reckon that's because I'm so much of a youngster myself." With the train whistling vaguely around the bend, he told me that Agnes Scott had taken him right in and made him a part of the campus. "The girls were so cordial and so friendly and they made my week here very happy. And, this morning, when those kids came over to tell me goodbye, I could not realize that I hadn't known them always. I came on Tuesday and here it is Saturday and I've known those kids always—I feel that way. ..." With that he got on the train. I set up a wail for my interview. Then I remembered his words on Thursday: "Nearly every college where I've been interviewed, it's read like an applica¬ tion for a clergical position on the railroad. Name, age, married, number of children, interests, and that stuff. Make this different. Write an ar- TICKLE, the like of which has never been done before!" I have pondered, I have meditated, I have thought; and toward that end I have struggled! Government or Fire Chief, then you would appear more graceful to make less noise and muffle the broadcast of your inadequacy." Those of us who have been asked to "back me and I'll back you," are individually responsible for our choice of officers. We are not voting as day students against boarders, not as Main against Inman, nor as Louise's friends against Mary's. It is our privilege and duty to weigh fairly the experience, ability, and interest of each candidate and to vote as a member of the Agnes Scott student body, bearing in mind always the welfare of the college. The dishonesty of swaying the votes of others is deplorable. Universities have it—indeed—and so does Huey Long. But in this community of so- called enlightenment it must not be tolerated.

McCain, of Agnes Scott, left Sunday for Baton Rouge, La., to join a commission appointed by the Southern Association of Colleges to in¬ vestigate the activities of Senator Huey P. Long in the accredited institutions of the state. Serving with Dr. McCain on this commission are Dr. O. C. Car¬ michael, of Montevallo; Dr. Alexander Guerry, of the University of Florida; Dean W. T. Battle, of the University of Texas; and Mr. M. M. Huntley, ex¬ ecutive secretary of the Southern As¬ sociation. The commission proposes to visit Louisiana State University and Louis¬ iana State Normal. Mr. C. M. Candler Has Birthday Mr. C. M. Candler, trustee of Agnes Scott College, celebrated his birthday on Sunday, March 17. Mr. Candler, who is the only living person who was present at the founding of the Col¬ lege, has been continuously a member of the Board of Trustees since 18S9; he is now chairman of the Executive Committee of the College. In the early days Mr. Candler served as registrar. Some wise cracking professor has said that the only difference between a college and an insane asylum is that one must show some improvement be¬ fore he is released from the insane asy¬ lum.—V. M. 7. Cadet. THE GENTLE ART OF CONVERSATION (Continued from Page 2, Col. 1) other thoughts in conversation, let it grow into form and meaning. By this we do not mean formal discussions or a pedantic exchange of phrases by those who sit stiffly on the edge of the chair and vie with each other in verbosity. Such are stiffling. We mean "talk," the rich, informal "talk" which comes to mind when we think of the Oxford scholar with his abundant hours of conversation that accompanied being "smoked at." This is, no doubt, one of the provocative illusions which we cherish un¬ dauntedly, but it realizes the ideal of conversation, it means the free play of the mind, which Matthew Arnold championed, that stirs the slovenly half-formed idea into life, that defies pigeon¬ holed knowledge, and imbues the monotonous pattern of days with meaning and grace. And such we can achieve, if we but would; if we would erase the dreary line that now separates knowing from being, shun the trite word, the hackneyed phrase, still the faint mockery that has created the pathetic epithet, eager student," and seek the interplay of ideas, the stimulating contact with other people's minds that means growth.

RACE CAMPUS-WIDE LUNCHEON OPENS VICTORY EFFORT MORTAR BOARD, FACULTY, AND ADMINISTRATION JOIN TO ANNOUNCE TEN-DAY CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS A luncheon for an enthusiastic college community launched the Victory Effort campaign when faculty and students of Agnes Scott College assembled in the gymnasium on Tuesday, April 9, at the invitation of Mortar Board, the Administration, and the faculty committee of the Developments campaign. In answer to the challenge of the General Education Board to donate a bonus of $100,000 if the college raises $23 3,000 by July Announces Race 1, 193 5, the president of student gov¬ ernment, the class presidents, and As¬ sociate Professor Louise Hale, faculty chairman, assured campus cooperation in acquiring $15,000. Professor Philip Davidson, as master of ceremonies, began the Victory Effort drive with the introduction of Dr. J. R. McCain, who made a talk on the purposes of the campaign and pointed out that, in large measure, it depends upon the success of this cam¬ paign as to whether Agnes Scott is to remain one of the most poorly equipped of the colleges in the first rank, among which she stands as an equal in other respects. Alberta Palmour, president of Student Government, next outlined the part of the students in the campaign. The challenge of these talks was ac¬ cepted by speeches of class presidents and songs of the classes. Faculty and Classes Compete The inter-class and faculty compe¬ tition is in the form of a horse race; this was developed as a feature of the entertainment. The various horses were introduced, and Madeline Race danced a short number as a jockey on a horse. Professor Davidson ended the program DR. PHILIP G.

TWENTY GRAND IS 2ND AT TEN TODAY Man-of-War, faculty horse, has al¬ most doubled his lead since the start of the race in Buttrick yesterday morn¬ ing; his per cent, by which his speed is measured, stood at 79.7 at ten o'clock today. Twenty Grand, senior horse, is second with 3 8.1 per cent; and the sophomore horse, Gallant Lady, runs third with 31.7. Cavalcade, juniors, and Equipoise, freshmen, trail in the field of five with 29.4 17.3 per cent, respectively. The percentages are figured by Pro¬ fessor Henry Robinson, of the math¬ ematics department; he bases these fig¬ ures on the number of those who have given and the amount of the pledges. The support behind each horse is indicated by his position on the race track in Buttrick lobby. The results of the race, which will end on Friday, will be announced in chapel on Friday morning. VICTORY EFFORT Ames And Chamlee Attend Convention At New Orleans Lulu Ames, editor, and Alice Cham¬ lee, business manager of The Agonis¬ tic, were sent as representatives of Agnes Scott to the Southern Student Government and Publications Conven¬ tion held in New Orleans, April 11-13. The convention, which had its head¬ quarters at the Roosevelt hotel, as¬ sembled students from all over the South for the first time in a session combined of student government, an¬ nuals, and press representatives. The discussion groups were divided into five units including one each for women's student government, men's student government, annuals, editors of weeklies, and business managers. Such topics as editorial policies, na¬ tional advertising, campus politics, and the honor system were discussed in the separate groups. Delegates Pass Resolutions At a closing session of all the sec¬ tions, among many others, a resolu¬ tion aimed at the condition of the press at Louisiana State University was passed after some fiery discussion. This resolution, which the editors' group passed over only three dissenting votes, as it was finally adopted follows: "Resolved, that the Southern Press Representatives go on record as favor¬ ing the liberty of student publications to express any opinion, subject only to state laws of libel; "That we specifically endorse the courage and fearlessness of Jesse Cutrer, editor of the L. S. U. Reveille, in refusing to submit to unwarranted fac¬ ulty censorship; "That we condemn the manner in which his liberty was restricted; "That we condemn the subservience of President James M.

The Vic¬ tory Effort, sponsored by the faculty, the Administration, and Mortar Board, and aided by class and faculty competitions, will end this Fri¬ day morning when returns of pledges Wins Fellowship are announced. Collection of subscrip¬ tions began yesterday. Interest for several months has been centered on raising a sum of $23 3,000, either by collection of former pledges or by securing new ones, in order to receive $217,000 promised by the Gen¬ eral Education Board of New York. The Board originally offered $117,000 to Agnes Scott if the latter should se¬ cure' from other subscribers by July 1, 1 93 5, $23 3,000 for buildings, improve¬ ments, and endowment. Following an investigation of the college by several of their officers, the Board has added, as a further incentive, $100,000 to this former offer. Improvements May Begin Soon The plans for a successful drive call for $200,000 for a new library; $100,000 for a new science hall; and $150,000 for endowment.

As part of an international col¬ legiate demonstration thousands of students all over the United States met last Friday to voice their protests against war. Many thousands expressed by mass meetings, by parades, by strikes, by fist fights, their unwilling¬ ness to have any share in war. A model of a cemetery studded with white crosses was produced on the University of Louisville campus; Tulane University stu¬ dents, dismissed from classes for the meeting, denounced war in speeches and resolutions; stu¬ dents at Emory staged a "strike" and prepared recommendations to be sent to President Roosevelt. It was estimated late on Friday that somewhat more than 60,000 students had taken part in such demonstrations east of the Mis-, sissippiriver. j Disarmament, the maneuvers of the United States Fleet inj Japanese waters, war—these are | not, as one delegate to the New| Orleans convention said, far re¬ moved from us. These are prob¬ lems with which we, as college students, and our whole genera¬ tion are closely connected. These are not matters about which we can be unconcerned by choice;; later, we will be FORCED into a consideration of them and, per-1 haps, participation in what re-; suits from them. Why did Agnes Scott fail to make her position known? Is it because we condone war? Or be-: cause we are indifferent? These charges cannot be fairly brought against Agnes Scott students. Hut another charge which is more poisonous in its effects can be advanced: We are too limited in our perspective, too campus- minded to see beyond the college years, to realize the pressure of national events in relation to our: lives as voting citizens. It is we here at Agnes Scott, together with other students, who will form the public opinion in a few years. Yet we let pass unnoticed an international collegiate up¬ rising against war. I VICTORY KKEORT THE NOT IMPOSSIBLE ! $15,000 In the fall of 1930, at a lunch¬ eon, Dr. McCain announced to a gathering of student body and faculty that Agnes Scott College was in need of $20,000 in order to carry forth the Greater Agnes i Scott Campaign movement. The campus, after an intensive drive, pledged $30,907. On last Tuesday, at a similar luncheon, Dr. McCain announced the necessity of raising $15,000 for a new library, a new science building, endowment, additional scholarship funds, and faculty salaries. This campaign, the Vic¬ tory Effort, will close Friday morning. Our past, as glorious as it is in scholastic achievement, is im¬ portant only insofar as we use it as a stepping stone toward a greater Agnes Scott. The mental vision of this proposed institu¬ tion has stimulated us into con¬ centrated activity. The campaign is serving as an outlet for this activity. We are moved with the spirit, not only to raise the de¬ sired sum, but even to forge ahead and bring in far above the amount. The $15,000 we recog¬ nize only as a measuring stick by which to gauge our loyalty and our love for Agnes Scott. It is by this united effort on the part of faculty and students that we reveal our willingness and our readiness to keep faith with Ag¬ nes Scott. It's over the top, we'll go— over the top for Greater Agnes Scott—and for a holiday! VICTORY EFFORT —AND SPEAKING OF HORSES— There are many kinds of horses when we come right down to it. It was a horse, to go momentarily historical, that got Paul Revere over the countryside in his mid¬ night tour of the New England States some years back, wasn't it? And Paul, rest his soul, shares honors with a horse in the minds of the gentry today. Then there are statues. What would America be without stat¬ ues? What would a statue of a general be without a horse? And what, exactly, would the general sit on—except a horse? But, to get on, there's nothing like a horse—or, better, five horses—to jazz up a campus de¬ velopment campaign. Nothing! Get the five horses, put them in a Victory Effort race, and watch them swing into whiz-bang ac¬ tion ! As proof of said horse-theory, consider the situation here at Agnes Scott. To begin with, we had to yank the horses out of a bunch of other minor sports in the gym department and give them names—Man-of-War, Equi¬ poise, Gallant Lady, Cavalcade, j and Twenty Grand. Then we! moved them up to Buttrick lobby! and into the rarified atmosphere j that surrounds the office of the! President himself. And, finally, we put them into a race; that' elevated them to the rank of pro¬ fessionals. It is not every college that can boast of a private horse¬ race racket, approved by the col-1 lege, open all the time for addi-! tional financial stimulation. Useful animals, horses? Indis¬ pensable! And, it's in the air that Buttrick won't be big enough to hold all the enthusiasm of the broke-backers on Thursday when the five horses come to the end of the course, pay their respects to the President, and turn their steps back toward the gym and obscurity between natural danc¬ ing and swimming in the list of minor sports! j Key to Current j History | i By Rosa From The inhabitants of Danzig and, al-; legedly, some non-inhabitants voted last week in a parliamentary election. This election would have been like or¬ dinary elections if it had not been forced by the Nazis, who dissolved the lower house of Danzig's Parliament last j February'. Additional importance is at-1 tached to the result of the election in I that it may be a test of Hitler's j strength and exert considerable influ¬ ence on the important conferences held at Stresa,Italy. j "The Free City of Danzig" was es¬ tablished out of pre-war German ter¬ ritory as a result of the Versailles Trea¬ ty. Poland has certain diplomatic and economic rights over the city; and its constitution is guaranteed by the League of Nations, which acts as pro¬ tector of the city. Subject to the approval of the League of Nations, a two-thirds ma¬ jority of the votes cast in the election would have permitted the Nazis to alter Danzig's constitution and abolish opposition parties. It was also found that a Nazi dictatorship would have been set up had the Nazis won. Three weeks before the election the Nazis began their campaign. Hitler sent Gor¬ ing, Hess, Grebbels, Streicher, Biirckel, and other Nazi chiefs to Danzig, which is legally a foreign state, to declaim on the cause of National Socialism. But the Danzig Nazi government was forc¬ ed to issue a statement that the elec¬ tion would not change Danzig's inde¬ pendent status, because Poland had in¬ timated that she would cause trouble if such were the case. Nazi demonstra¬ tions took place during the election campaign, and passerbys were forced to give the Nazi salute. In spite of alleged Nazi terrorism and in spite of the report that more than a million marks of German money helped to finance the campaign, the Nazis failed to receive the desired two- thirds majority of votes in the election. The National Socialists received only sixty per cent of the votes cast in spite of a predicted victory. The returns of the election were regarded as a grave defeat for the Nazi party in Danzig, for it now remains just another party instead of being the only one as it had hoped to be. Charges of terrorism and illegalities are being made by the anti-Nazi par¬ ties. Three of these plan to ask the League of Nations for a new vote. Po¬ land also complains that a number of her citizens, including two members of her diplomatic corps, were beaten; she may even appeal to the League.

More than 200 delegates from six¬ teen southern and southeastern states were expected to attend the spring student conference held in New Or¬ leans under the auspices of Tulane Uni¬ versity and Sophie Newcomb College April 11-13. F.E.R.A. students at Virginia Poly¬ technic Institute made better grades during the first quarter of the current school year than their classmates, de¬ spite the fact that they were working part time. The executive secretary of the school pointed out that the "stu¬ dents realize that the government and the college are making a special effort to assist them in remaining in college," and that the "economy exercised by the great majority of students holding these jobs is well demonstrated to those having charge of the administration of this fund." At Hunter College this year science is found to be the most popular field among the freshmen. 132 of the 1,000 new students have chosen biology for specialization; and 144 have chosen physiology, chemistry, and the premedical course. The University of Chicago an¬ nounces that a nineteen-year-old stu¬ dent who entered the University as a freshman in the fall of 193 3 will, if he successfully passes his examinations in March, graduates with a bachelor of science degree at the end of five quar¬ ters of work.

Even though Dr. Davidson, shouting "No, no, a thous¬ and times, no" to Fidesah, once show¬ ed his vocal powers and his adaptabil¬ ity, his true potentialities had never been revealed to us until the campaign luncheon. His opening statement, "We are here today"! recited with so much savoir faire and so much dramatic abil¬ ity and met with such thundering applause contained all of the poetic subtlety of Gertie Stein's "A rose is a rose is a rose." Really, Giddy, why he should stoop to history. Speaking of speeches (note the Beo wulfan alliteration) you should hear Frances Balkcom recite "Conscientious Objector." Though she has learned only the first two lines, we must admit that in learning by the whole method our capable Fire Chief is complying with the wishes of the psychological peda¬ gogues. By the way, Giddy, do be very careful, for who knows, you may be a multiple personality and even your best friends won't tell you. But remember a friend gathering no moss is worth two in the bush as the ancients used to say, which quoting reminds me for some unknown reason of two of our little friends who have been treated most unkindly, in fact ironically as it were.

Source material, dug and dusted from the annals of Agnes Scott College in Dr. McCain's scrap book and in old issues of The Agonistic, reveals the fact that history made encores in 1928 and in 1930 to the successful campus campaign of 1921. The deep significance of such constant repetition can readily be seen. During the administrations of Lin¬ coln and Harding in the distant days of 1921, a campaign was launched here at Agnes Scott with the fabulous sum of $22,000 as the goal of campus con¬ tributions. Miss Anna Young was chairman. She inspired such a spirit of giving in the students that the un¬ believable sum of $30,000 was real¬ ized. Later during a prosperous year in history, was launched a second cam¬ paign with Miss Llewellyn Wilburn as head. She proved to be another great leader. The total contribution, $78,366, was almost double the goal of $40,000. The conditions at the year of the last campaign in 1930 were more like those of the present. The campaign was launched with a luncheon at which Dr. McCain named $20,000 as the desired goal. The college was divided into fac¬ tions, The Odds, composed of the sen¬ iors and sophomores, and the Evens, composed of the freshmen, juniors, and faculty. But it was not without much self-sacrifice that the goal was sur¬ passed and $30,907 donated. If anything so unethical as predict¬ ing on the basis of history were al¬ lowed, it would be announced that this history is to repeat itself again within the next week.

The purpose of these parties is to introduce the out-of-town girls to Atlanta boys. The class has been divided into four groups, one of which is entertained each night in the Day Students' Room. Two members of Mortar Board are hostesses at each reception and are in charge of plans for the occasion. Mortar Board parties for sophomore boarders are an annual custom, and were given this year a few days before the Christmas holidays. This is the first time that the freshmen have been entertained. TOTAL PLEDGES MOUND HIGH AS CAMPAIGN ENDS (Continued from Page 1, Col. 1) first to go 100 per cent; at 8:55 Fri¬ day morning, the sophomores complet¬ ed their pledges; at 9:17, twenty-two minutes later, the seniors went 100 per cent. The last actual pledge of the freshman class came in at 9:25; at 9:50, the faculty made final returns; and at 9:5 8, just after the first bell for chapel had rung and two minutes before the deadline for the race, the school organizations pledged 100 per cent. The success of this Victory Effort for $15,000 means a substantial gain to be added to the $94,000 raised be¬ fore the campaign. If the college can have pledged by July 1, 193 5, a sum of $23 3,000, the General Education Board of New York has promised to contribute $217,000 to make a total of $45 0,000 for a new science hall, library, increased endowment, and gen¬ eral campus improvements. This campaign was the fourth cam¬ pus campaign waged for improvements at Agnes Scott. 1921, 1928, and 1930 were marked by successful drives which resulted in progressive changes on the campus. This year the Victory Effort began with a luncheon for the entire college given in the gymnasium on Tuesday, April 9, by Mortar Board, the Administration, and the faculty com¬ mittee of the Developments Campaign. In the ten days of the campaign, the enthusiastic cooperation on the campus has resulted in the surpassing of the goal by almost $10,000. Because of the success of the cam¬ paign, a holiday has been granted on Saturday, April 27, following the Me¬ morial Day holiday on Friday. L. I). ADAMS & SON Kaiser Gloves 59c to SI.00 ❖ 129 E.

The writing was found on the peninsula of Sinai, and as yet has proved undeciph¬ erable. Passing over several centuries of de¬ velopment, Sir Charles then spoke of the fourteen pieces of pottery, excavated at Laehish, which contain Hebraic writing of about 600 B. C. The writ¬ ing is in ink. Many familiar names arc on the tablets—that of Jeremiah for instance. The general contents of the three translated fragments, as well as their style, all tend to point to the correctness of Old Testament history. Sir Charles concluded by repeating that, in view of all discovered facts, the theory of oral transmission of his¬ tory must be abandoned since all data seems to have been set down by con¬ temporaneous scribes.

KEY TO CURRENT HISTORY (Continued from Page 2, Col. 3) fact that Germany did not accept the terms that had been offered her earlier this year and stated their desire to sus¬ tain peace, saying that they "remain anxious to join every effort for pro¬ moting international agreement and limitation of armaments." The last sec¬ tion of the communique stated that the status of Austria, Hungary, and Bulgaria should be revised with the consent of "the other states concern¬ ed," which means the Little Entente. Following this main body of the communique was an Anglo-Italian dec¬ laration reaffirming their position as guarantors of the Locarno Treaty. A "Final Declaration" stated that the three powers opposed "any unilateral repudiation of treaties which may en¬ danger the peace of Europe and will act in close and cordial collaboration for this purpose." Mr. Cunningham Attends Meeting Mr. R. B. Cunningham, business manager of Agnes Scott College, at¬ tended a convention of the Southern Buyers and Business Officers at Rol¬ lins College, Winter Park, Florida, on March 12-13. Representatives from twenty-one colleges met to discuss all problems entering into the manage¬ ment of schools and colleges. Dr. Ham¬ ilton Holt, president of Rollins and the former editor of the Independent, in the main address of the meeting, outlined the plans and purposes of the college. The program also included a banquet and a play, Mr. Pim Passes, given in the college's memorial theatre. Mr. Cunningham spoke with a great deal of interest about Dr. Holt's the¬ ory of education that has been put into practice at Rollins. The system is a very informal one, all classes be¬ ing conducted on the seminar plan. Also, instead of a Y.W.C.A. or a Y.M.

XX May Day Cast To Dress Gaily Artistic and ingenious costumes show evidences of an attractive and color¬ ful presentation of Peter Pan, the May Day festival, which will take place at 4:30 next Saturday, May 4, in the May Day Dell. The fairy queen and her court, al¬ ways of especial interest, will wear at¬ tractive but simply made dresses of mousseline-de-soie, the queen in tradi¬ tional white, the fairies of the court in pastel pink, peach, yellow, and aqua- blue. They will wear silver shoes and will carry garlands of variegated pastel flowers in honor of their queen. In¬ stead of the usual throne and steps, the court will sit on a natural mound of rocks, grass, and flowers. Among the loveliest of the costumes are those of the Elves, who will wear soft pink China silk, with scarves of orchid shading into purple. They will have very small, very fairy-like pink wings and will wear natural flowers in their hair. The Daisies and Black-Eyed Susans have clever, attractive costumes; the Daisies, who are blondes, with a huge collar of white petals, the Black-Eyed Susans, who are brunettes, with a col¬ lar of yellow petals. Boots and cutlasses and brightly col¬ ored rags are the most outstanding fea¬ tures of the dress of Captain Hook's Pirates, who give the appearance, at least, of being a horrible and motley crew. The Little Lost Boys, having adapted themselves to their situation, make sport in skins of very spotted leop¬ ards. Their friends, the Indians, will wear the conventional Indian brown, except for the princess. Tiger Lily, and her two attendants, who will wear white. Glee Club Offers Gay Light Opera Betty Lou Houck and Augusta King, sopranos, and Bealy Smith, tenor, will sing the leading roles in The Pirates of Penzance, the popular Gilbert and Sul¬ livan light opera which is to be pre¬ sented by the Agnes Scott Glee Club on May 25. The supporting cast in¬ cludes Jane Clark, Alice Chamlee, Jer¬ ry Young, Eugene Traber, Dick Smoot, Jack Bagwell, and a chorus of twenty- four voices. The Pirates of Penzance is a rollick¬ ing story of pirates, love, and a gen¬ eral's daughters; the songs are gay, and one of them, "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here," has been adopted as an American quasi-folk song. Staff to Release Silhouette Soon May 15 is the tentative date for the issuing of the 1934-3 5 Silhouette, Agnes Scott annual, provided that the pictures of May Day can be finished by then. For students who have not paid their budget, the price is $6.00. Part of the editorial staff of the 193 5-36 Silhouette has been selected; the other positions will vary according to the plan of the annual. The staff, appointed by Shirley Christian, editor, includes the following: Rosa Miller, feature editor; Virginia Gaines, photo¬ graphic editor; Janet Gray, faculty edi¬ tor; Eloisa Alexander, club editor; Charline Fleece, athletic editor; Bar¬ ton Jackson, kodak editor; Eliza King, class editor; Anne Taylor, Ann Worthy Johnson, associate editors, and Zoe Wells, art editor. Martha Sue Laney was elected assistant editor. Sarah Jones, business manager, has not completed her staff. Jennie Champion, Wendy, and Adelaide Stevens, Peter, as they will appear in "Peter Pan" on May 4. Freshmen Have Sponsors Again Seventy girls appointed from the junior and sophomore classes will act as sponsors to the incoming freshmen for the first six weeks of the fall ses¬ sion. Each sponsor will have the duty of instructing three freshmen, stressing particularly increased social relations among the students. The sponsor system, which has for two years replaced the grandmother system, carries four points this year instead of eight. Also, the house presi¬ dents will be in charge of the teaching of the handbook rules. A committee composed of the fol¬ lowing girls selected the sponsors: Frances James, chairman; Alice McCallie, Adelaide Stevens, and Frances Wil¬ son. The girls appointed are: juniors —Lena Armstrong, Mary Beasley, Katherine Bishop, Meriel Bull, Elizabeth Burson, Margaret Cooper, Naomi Cooper, Sara Cureton, Sara Frances Estes, Rosa From, Janet Gray, Lois Hart, Mary Hull, Ethelyn Johnson, Rosa Miller, Sarah Nichols, Myra O'Neal, Mary Margaret Stowe, Eugenia Symms, Jane Thomas, Sarah Turner, and Irene Wilson. The sophomoes are: Eloisa Alex¬ ander, Frances Balkcom, Frances Bel- ford, Lucille Cairns, Cornelia Christie, Kathleen Daniel, Lucile Dennison, Eliz¬ abeth Espy, Jane Estes, Charline Fleece, Mary Gillespie, Nellie Margaret Gilroy, Alice Hannah, Fannie B.

Dr. McCain Makes Tour Working for Campaign Dr. J. R. McCain, president of Ag¬ nes Scott College, visited Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Tuesday, April 23, and Augusta, Georgia, on the following Wednesday. At Augusta, he addressed the junior college. This week he is working for the Developments Campaign in Wilming¬ ton, Delaware, and Baltimore, Mary¬ land. Evelyn Wall To Present Recital For Music Week In celebration of National Music Week, Evelyn Wall, of Agnes Scott College, will present an organ recital in Gaines Chapel, Saturday evening, May 11, at 8:15 o'clock. She will be aided by Mrs. Vivian Bryant Thompson, for¬ mer music student at Agnes Scott. The program will include the Suite Gothique, by Boeilmann, a piece which Mr. Christian Dieckmann stated "is always charming and unique," and a Fugue from a Pastoral Sonata of Rheinberger who, Mr. Dieckmann said, is consider¬ ed a "notable composer and perhaps the greatest of all organ teachers." Eve¬ lyn will also render a Fantasie and Fugue by Bach, a Grand Chorus in D by Guilment, and a Concert Overture in C Minor by the blind composer, Hollins. The Music department will also pre¬ sent a mixed program of pianists and the String Ensemble on May 7. Nell Hemphill will play from Mozart a pi¬ ano Concerto in C Major with the String Ensemble as accompaniment. There are to be, in addition, solo num¬ bers of the String Ensemble and the pi¬ anists, which have not yet been planned in detail. COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM May 23, Thursday, 2:30 P.

Houck, McCallum Head Cast In Rollicking Senior Opera Sociology Class Visits Tuskegee Members of Professor Arthur F. Raper's classes in race relations and in¬ troductory sociology spent last Thurs¬ day and Friday at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Alabama. The students were accompanied by Pro¬ fessor and Mrs. Raper and Assistant Professor Katherine T. Omwake, of the psychology department of Agnes Scott. The group, in their two days, visit¬ ed the Children's House, the library, the gymnasium, the new science build¬ ings, and many other departments of the institution. They were received by Major Robert R. Moton, retiring presi¬ dent of the Institute, and Mrs. Moton. Dr. George Washington Carver, Negro scientist, spoke to them briefly about the oil he has made from peanuts and which he is using, experimentally, on victims of infantile paralysis. In ad¬ dition to Tuskegee, they made an ex¬ tensive tour of the Government Hos¬ pital for Negro War Veterans, of which Colonel Joseph Ward is com¬ mandant. The students, numbering about thirty-seven, stopped at Dorothy Hall and at "The Oaks," the home of Dr. Booker T. Washington, both of which are reserved for visitors to the Insti¬ tute. Tuskegee was founded in 1881 by Dr. Washington, himself a graduate of Hampton Institute, Virginia. Classes Plan To Entertain For Seniors Sophomore and junior committees, appointed by the class presidents, are making tentative plans for the annual luncheon and banquet given before commencement in honor of the seniors. Nell White is general chairman of the junior-senior banquet, which will be given on Friday evening, May 24. Her committees are: Decoration—Virginia Gaines, chair¬ man; Lena Armstrong, Eugenia Symms, and Kitty Cunningham. Transportation — Sarah Turner, chairman; Mary Snow, Helen Ford, Myra O'Neal, and Jane Thomas. The sophomores, who will entertain the seniors at a luncheon the last week before examinations, have the follow¬ ing committees: Decoration—Julia Thing, chairman; Marjorie Scott, Mary Gillespie, and Rosa Wilder. Transportation—Frances McDonald, chairman; Mary Kneale, Mary King, Mildred Tilly, and Wita Moreland. Menu — Frances Wilson, Lucille Cairns, and Frances Balkcom. Invitation—Ann Walker and Sarah Johnson. Placement—Mary Malone and Mary Garland. Junior Benefit Bridge Yields Profit of $32.43 The proceeds from the Junior Bene¬ fit Bridge, given last Thursday after¬ noon, at Davison-Paxon's tea room, netted $32.43 to contribute to the building fund. The juniors were given one-third of the profits on the refresh¬ ments, and the tickets were printed gratis by J. B. Richards Company. Six¬ teen Decatur and fourteen Atlanta business establishments donated gifts for prizes. 'Sam's Son and the Lilac" Is Gay Entertainment for Commencement Week. A talented and all-star cast made up of the entire senior class, forming the Seniorpolitan Opera Company, will misrepresent the entertaining light opera Sam's Son and the Lilac on the evening of May 4, at 8:30. An opera, written and executed by the graduating class, is an annual feature of the commencement program. Stars from the senior class, headed by Betty Lou Houck as the Lilac and Carolyn McCallum as Sam's Son, form the brilliant cast. The other leading characters are: Lady Good Iva, Mary Jane Evans; Abimelech, Elizabeth Heaton; the Umpire, Ida Lois McDaniel; Socrates, Rosalyn Crispin; Xantippe, Betty Fountain; Peanut Vender, Emily McGahee. Many sprightly and colorful ballets add to the gay charm of the opera, notably the ballet of Lilac's maids, in¬ cluding Elizabeth Alexander, Nina Parke, Marguerite Morris, Jo Jennings, Hester Anne Withers, Elizabeth Young, Madeline Race, Jennie Champion, and Mae Duls. Another attractive one is the Wildroot Ballet: Mary Lillian Deason, Fidesah Edwards, Frances McCalla, Mary Virginia Allen, Isabel Ship¬ ley, and Amy Underwood. Baseball Adds to Spirit A fine touch of more vigorous en¬ tertainment is afforded by the two conflicting baseball teams, Sparta U. and Athens Tech. On the Sparta U. team are: Alberta Palmour, Suzanne Smith, Virginia Wood, Carol Griffin, Grace Robinson, and Harriet Dim- mock. Their bitter rivals of Athens Tech include: Alsine Shutze, Nell Pattillo, Elizabeth Thrasher, Marie Simp¬ son, Caroline Dickson, and Clara Mor¬ rison. Of course loyal cheering squads sup( Continued on page 4, column 2.) A.A,U.P. Elects Chapter Officers At a meeting on April 29 of the Agnes Scott chapter of the American Association of University Professors, Professor Henry Robinson, of the mathematics department, and Associate Professor Martha Stansfield, of Latin and Greek, were elected president and secretary-treasurer for the new year. They succeed Associate Professor Eliz¬ abeth Jackson, of the history depart¬ ment, and Assistant Professor Melissa Cilley, of Spanish, as president and sec¬ retary, respectively. Another feature of the meeting was a paper read by Assistant Professor Katherine Omwake, of psychology and education.

Wal¬ green withdrew his daughter from the University of Chicago because of that institution's par¬ ticipation in the international demonstration. Mr. Walgreen, apparently fearful of indoctrina¬ tion with Communist principles, demanded an investigation of campus thought. President Hutchins has refused even to consider the request. Not so President Ruthven, of the Uni¬ versity of Michigan, who, annoy¬ ed by what he terms the "per¬ versive activities" of his student body, has decided that such radi¬ cal agitation must cease. At Hunter College, New York, three prominent students were suspended, apparently for anti¬ war activities in connection with preparations for the strike on that campus. Striking students, numbering 2200, sent a delega¬ tion of 250 to President Colligan demanding immediate reinstate¬ ment of the suspended students. Whereupon, as a measure of dis¬ cipline, President Colligan sus¬ pended the three spokesmen of the delegation, charging them with "unwillingness to comply with college regulations concern¬ ing the deportment of students." The day for unintelligent, un¬ seeing, and narrow-minded col¬ lege presidents is past. Such per¬ sons are out of place as heads of institutions in which students are taught the value of think¬ ing for themselves and of form¬ ing sane opinions on major prob¬ lems of today. Young people are no longer willing to be shelved for the four years of their col¬ lege life; as time passes, they will become less willing. And, if such high-handed repression of stu¬ dent thought is persisted in, stu¬ dent rebellions on issues, far less important than peace, will inevit¬ ably ensue. CONCERNING EXAMINATIONS The final edition of THE AGONISTIC would not be com¬ plete without an editorial com¬ ment on the too-near-for-comfort examinations. Even with thought, however, there is very little to be said on the subject. Besides, else¬ where in this issue are faculty pseudo-recipes for proper be¬ havior before the ordeal. This advice, as is true of most advice, is very good but not easy to follow. With as many as three exams straight, it is next to im¬ possible to approach every one, fresh as the sophomore daisy and fortified mentally, in addition. "Complete rest and exercise" is a desireable thing; review is val¬ uable; and cramming, in some courses, is necessary. These are general remarks unfit for general application. For, after all, this matter of study is a different problem for each student. The amount of study depends altogether on the individual, on how well she has kept up with her courses throughout the semester, and on how readily she absorbs. A strained attitude and a pained expression are, contrary to facul¬ ty opinion, helpful in sustaining a studious two weeks. Cheerful¬ ness, on the part of a student, can become a source of great ir¬ ritation to her fellow-sufferers. And, certainly, if we all assumed a philosophical air, there would be no cause for "griping." Ex¬ aminations without a certain amount of griping would be un¬ endurable. There is very little new to be said about exams—even two weeks' worth. SPRING, SPRING, YOU GIDDY YOUNG THING! "Hi've butt ton by dnew Spri'g boddet Hi've butt ton by dhew Spri'g cloze. But hi hav tried in vain, At last do blow by dnose." THE PILGRIMAGE TO TUSKEGEE The trip that forty Agnes Scott students made to Tuskegee Institute last week was an interesting experiment in stu¬ dent race relations. The trip was not a required part of the courses; each girl who went paid her own expenses. Surely this indicates an active interest here on the campus in what the Negro student is doing to prepare him¬ self for citizenship in the con¬ stantly changing social and econ¬ omic conditions of today. A similar interest was shown by the presentation of Dr. John Hope, president of Atlanta Uni¬ versity, who, in an address in chapel, discussed the Negro's at¬ titude toward his legal, social, and economic status in the new South. It may be possible, during the next year, to bring on our campus as speakers other out¬ standing Negro leaders: Dr.! Carver, scientist; Major Motomj Dr. du Bois, essayist and editor. I What has all of this to do with i us ? Perhaps a great deal toward the solution of the race problem j here in the South. The race sit-! uation, on which various organ¬ izations, made up of both white i and Negroes, have been working; for a long time and are still working, is a live thing. The: eradication of racial strife, op lynching, of discrimination, will! establish the ideal race condition.1 This ideal can be realized only through a sympathetic under-! standing of the Negro and his! problems; such an understanding can come about only through1 contact with members of the Negro race. The trip to Tuskegee last week was one step in the di-j rection of this ideal. i Key to Current History By Margaret Watson Since March 16 when Hitler defied the Treaty of Versailles by announcing a conscription act for the enlargement of the German army, other European nations have been holding conferences to determine what shall be done to punish Germany for disregarding the treaty regulations against her rearma¬ ment. The most important of these conferences was that of the League of Nations Council. The meeting and the action taken by the Council are most significant because all of the many different nations represented, except Denmark, voted to pass a resolution severely censuring Germany for her ac¬ tion. The Council met in Geneva at the call of France, who through her min¬ ister of foreign affairs, Pierre Laval, introduced a resolution comprised of two sections: one condemning Ger¬ many's treaty violations, and the other providing for action against future violators. After the resolution had been pre¬ sented by Laval, he made a rather mod¬ erate but firm speech emphasizing the necessity for immediate action against Germany. In his speech Sir John Sim¬ on, the British Foreign Secretary, said that his government supported France and Italy in the draft resolution for action. This draft resolution was ac¬ cepted and passed that same day, April 17. In London, Paris, and Moscow sat¬ isfaction with the course taken at Ge¬ neva was expressed. Berlin, however, was enraged; and officials of the Wilhemstrasse announced that the adop¬ tion of that resolution had made im¬ possible Germany's return to the League of Nations. After the adoption of the resolution there was a general feeling in the coun¬ tries surrounding Germany that it would be necessary to tighten their frontier lines against possible aggression by the Third Reich. Plans for aviation pacts between Czechoslovakia and Rus¬ sia and between France and Italy are being discussed. Then too, France an¬ nounced that she intended to strength¬ en her fortifications along the German border. On April 20 Hitler sent a curt note to the nations who had passed the reso¬ lution, questioning their right to pass judgment on Germany. England, France, and Italy regarded the note lightly and left the next move to Ger¬ many. What that move will be is un¬ certain, but Europe is uneasy, and Hit¬ ler is looking beyond what are to him the too-narrow borders of the Third Reich. ALUMNAE Agnes Scott Commencement Week, May 23-27, will bring back to the campus for reunion members of nine former classes: '07, '08, '09, TO, '26, '27, '28, '29, and '34. Following the Dix plan in choosing classes for annual reunions at this time, the first eight classes are to hold reunions, and since it is traditional, the last graduating class will meet, also. The following are the plans for meetings and social functions at this time: Executive Board of the Alumnae Association will have a business meet¬ ing on Thursday, May 23, at 2:30; this meeting will be followed by an Alumnae Council meeting at 4:00. On Friday, May 24, the Decatur Club will; entertain the children of the alumnae! and faculty at a party; following the; annual meeting of the General Asso-, ciation, held Saturday at 11:30, the! trustees will entertain for the alumnae, | faculty, and seniors in Rebekah Scott; on Sunday night after vespers the; Alumnae House will have open house! for the alumnae and faculty, with the! officers of the classes which are hav¬ ing reunions acting as hostesses. On Monday, May 27, each of the alumnae groups will have luncheon in the Alumnae House. The class of '34 will probably have a banquet that j night. !

EXCHANGES For thousands and thousands of U. S. college seniors who hate the prospect of hunting jobs, a prime ambition is to start some campus enterprise which they can take with them when they graduate. This year four Princeton seniors have built up such a business in Campus Publicity Service. One of the first ideas was of creating a high pressure organization to mold campus opinion for national advertisers. Their first client was Philip Morris & Co. and the plan was very successful. The instigator of the plan received $400 a month from this one cigarette com¬ pany.—Time. Pietro Mascagni, the composer of Cavaleria Rusticana, had his last in¬ spiration 45 years ago, when at 26 his one flash came. A prize was offered for a one-act opera, and the impover¬ ished teacher, tired of a macaroni diet, worked for eight days and nights until he had completed the famous opera.— Time. The second largest business in the country is not steel, automobiles, meat¬ packing, or amusements. It is educa¬ tion. First comes the wholesale and retail trade and close on its heels the industry which started humbly enough in a little red school-house. The amount spent on education during a year is more than the biggest manu¬ facturing industry's products in 1931, meat-packing. For the country as a whole the average acount spent on each child in public schools is $87.— Review of Reviews. Nobody quarreled when the rail¬ roads streamlined their trains. Stream-' line autos and boats are all right. But j it is more than one can stand when i one finds streamlined pipes, ash trays,! hats, hat-racks, tricycles, ginger ale bottles, and burial caskets. Even now an exclusive New York custom tailor has just announced a new streamlined dress coat.—Review of Reviews. I At the University of Oklahoma a professor of Public Speaking flunked an overawed student with the cryptic remark, "So you won't talk, eh?"— Technique. At Northwestern University a knit¬ ting course has been organized for men; at Perdue, a course is offered in bridge; and a girl is enrolled in a box¬ ing class at the University of Alabama. —Emory Wheel. BOOK NOTES Ten Thousand Public Enemies—C. R. Cooper. This book is more than a "thriller," because it is true. It puts to shame the Indian perils and massacres of the past by revealing the astounding, violent story of real criminals who have men¬ aced or who today menace the Ameri¬ can public. Their lawless accomplish¬ ments, aided and multiplied a hundred times by modern scientific inventions and conveniences, seem almost too amazing to be true. Queen "Victoria, E. P. Benson. Not only is this an account of Vic¬ torian court life, costumes and cus¬ toms, but also a rare insight into the character of one of England's great¬ est queens. Mr. Benson presents the eighty years of the "marble Queen" in an interesting and complete biog¬ raphy that makes both good reading and good history. Ordeal By Fire, Fletcher Pratt. This is an informal history of the Civil War that becomes, at the con¬ clusion of its reading, a symphony. So clearcut are the thumb-nail sketches of McClellan, Jefferson Davis, Lincoln, Schofield, Rosecrans, and the Rock of Chicumauga, so well does the author portray battle scenes, that Ordeal by Fire is, to the reader, history in the form of true and magnetic fiction. I Change Worlds, Anna Louise Strong. "The American mind, whatever its color, has need of this book." It is the story of a remarkable woman who ex¬ changed American capitalism for Rus¬ sian Communism, who married a Rus¬ sian, who suffered many defeats in Soviet Russia but at last was accepted by the people of her adopted country. Winning a Wife, Peter Neagoe. Peter Neagoe, a Rumanian-born American citizen, compiles in this volume, twelve short stories picturing the stupid but resourceful peasants of the Rumanian mountain land in their struggles and romances. These are stories, oriental in character, but na¬ tural and rich above all. Restless Days, Lilo Linke. Lilo Linke, as Secretary of the Ger¬ man League of Young Democrats, and leader of a youth movement in Germany, sets forth in this autobi¬ ography, the restless days of her gen¬ eration of "the confused German after- war and inflation era." The book gives an intelligent account of Nazism and what the modern generation in Ger¬ many thinks of their present govern¬ ment.

JACK, President, Randolph-Macon Woman's College, Lynchburg, Virginia, on Tuesday, May 2 8. From the very beginning of our in¬ stitutions of higher education, it has been the custom, a custom now hard¬ ened into a ritual, for some one, as the final test of the patience, the endur¬ ance, and the courtesy of the long- suffering members of the graduating classes, to inflict on them sometimes a few, but more commonly a great many words of admonition and service. I suppose the theory is that if the grad¬ uates can edure that last travail, they can easily withstand the worst the world has to offer. And I constantly marvel at the ability of the American collegian to absorb punishment. But many of us of my generation are not now so cock-sure of many things as we once were; we are not so ready to speak ex cathedra on every conceivable subject; we are a wee bit chary of offering large doses of undi¬ luted* advice to the younger genera¬ tion.

Some lamps of noble purpose were lit again after the war, but, alas, were only to flicker and go out. I am not saying that idealism is dead today. I know that this is not the case. But I am saying that this is a poor time for cru¬ sades for the achievement of great ends because men, women, and even young people have been so bitterly disappoint¬ ed by the collapse of efforts into which their money, their prayers, and their lives have been poured. Then, from many quarters today is sounded the corresponding note of fu¬ tility. Some months ago we read in our newspapers that H. M. S. Nelson, the pride of the British navy, lodged on the rocks just outside the harbor of Portsmouth. The commanding officer ordered the eleven hundred members of the crew to jump up and down on the deck in an effort to dislodge the ship, but all to no avail. Only when the tide came in could the great vessel gain its freedom. That picture of eleven hun¬ dred men jumping up and down sug¬ gests the futility of much of our ef¬ fort. Only the other day the Kentucky Kernel, our University of Kentucky paper, appeared with an article about commencement with this headline: "Future Relief Workers Will Receive Sheepskins." This sense of the futility of human effort is noticeable even among our best people, and must be recognized as a dangerous element in the atmosphere of our time. Low spiritual temperature is another characteristic of the present mood. Dr. John Hutton said not a great while ago in the British Weekly, " In my view there are three great heresies. There is the heresy of over-statement, there is the heresy of under-statement, and there is the heresy of a low temp¬ erature; these three, and the worst of these three is the low temperature." One of the things Dr. Stanley Jones said repeatedly before American audi¬ ences during his recent furlough was this: the greatest hindrance to the vic¬ tory of Christ in our world is the great body of Christians who lack His spirit, Christians who are anemic, sub-normal, deficient. He charged that we are innoculating the world with such a mild form of Christianity that the world is practically immune to the real thing. There is one other element in the dominant mood which I shall mention. To my mind the growing restlessness with things as they are is most hopeful and encouraging. God pity us if we are satisfied with ourselves, our homes, our business life, our churches, our campus conditions, our national life, or our international relations! I believe God is stirring the hearts of men to¬ day. I believe that much of the unrest and the turbulence is a "divine discon¬ tent," the revolt of the enlightened spirit of man against conditions and practices out of accord with the will and purpose of God. And now let me say that no one un¬ derstands his dav and generation who does not take Jesus Christ into ac¬ count. He is no mere historical per¬ sonage, no theological dogma; He is the Fact which the realist dares not neglect if he would interpret our con¬ temporary scene. He stands among us with a claim which Martin Luther said was worthy to be carried from Rome to Jerusalem upon one's knees, a claim as true today as when He spoke the words to His disciples: "In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." This is the claim of a Galilean peasant without money, without posi¬ tion, without the support of an army. The words are spoken by one who twenty-four hours later was being placed in Joseph's tomb for burial, after having been crucified between two thieves. And yet it is a claim which we dare not refuse to test! Absurd as it may have seemed to His disciples, impossible as it may appear to us—Jesus claimed to have conquer¬ ed the world, our world with its fear, its confusion, its disillusionment, its sense of futility, its spiritual anemia, its restlessness. How did Jesus over¬ come the world? Not by denying it. He never sought refuge in the shadows of unreality. He accepted the real world and lived in it. Jesus never attemoted to escape the world.

I see with¬ in the light, you, Jennie Champion and Marguerite Morris, demanding ac¬ claim for the beauty and grace which vour dancing adds to the Ballet Russe. The glow of the lights fades, I feel surrounded by an atmosphere of acad¬ emic fervor and scholarly zeal. Re¬ sponsible for much of the fervor and as much of the zeal will be you, Eva Poliakoff, Isabel Shipley, Marian Cal houn, and Katherine Hertzka. Now Eva will, of course, be pursuing knowledge of historical fact and date at the University of Chicago. Isabel, vou will be earnestly endeavoring to find out at Cornell University wheth¬ er or not Bennet is correct in his version of the ablative absolute. Now, Marian will be sending augumentative young women from the portals of Sophie Newcomb to debate with logic unit equally augumentative young women from your old Alma Mater, A. S. C. Now, Katherine will be search¬ ing and researching at the University of Wisconsin to see if water is H20 after all. Without the aid of the crystal—by my prophetic art also I can see vou — Dorothea Blackshear, Gladys Burns, Margaret Goins, Mary Lib Squires, Elizabeth Thrasher, and Amy Underwood—that you will cast your lot with that 6 5 per cent or there¬ abouts, of Agnes Scott Alumnae who make the American home what it is—or in less peiled language, you will "get your man." Still relying upon my prophetic pow¬ er—I may disclose to you, Mildred and Mary Thompson, that you will be ap¬ pearing at the best theatres through¬ out the country in your vaudeville act featuring special dancing and singing. —to you, Mary Hutchinson, I must reveal that I can see you in jolly old England, happily married to a real English lord—tweeds, monicle and all. Back across the Atlantic by a twist of my magic—a second twist, and I'm across the continent on the Pacific coast in the glamorous, glittering Hol¬ lywood. Amid the glamor and glitter, I can see you, Betty Lou Houck— first lady of the silver screen. The whole world's turning out to see you sometimes. Nina Parke and Alice Dunbar, you, from your exclusive shop in Hollywood, will be directing the mode and manner of dress of the fem¬ inine sex, everywhere. Trellis Carmichael, you and your old roommate, Jane Cassels, will be the proprietors of the popular and world- known Lavender Bonnet successor to the famous Brown Derby of present renown. Assisting in this thriving en¬ terprise will be you, Carolyn Cole and Anne Scott Harmon, you will be re¬ sponsible for the appeal of the food shows and the delectableness of the menus. Mary Logan, you, too, I can tec in Hollywood—and you, Margaret Robins, both are writing movie scenar'os for Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer. Susan Ttimer, Sara Davis, and Virginia Woodj, a'l three of you will be recognized as j leading directors of motion picture productions. A bit dazed by-the glamour and j glitter of Hollywood, I search the' depths of my crystal for a quieter and j more peaceful picture—I can see a still, small French village. Living there j in its simplicity I can see you, Mary Virginia Allen, Margaret Stokey, and Jule McClatchey, where you arc pur¬ suing eagerly further knowledge of French language and custom. But an instant, and Paris replaces this small town. In Paris I find you, Marie Adams, Jo Jennings, Eva Constantine, and Laura Whitner. All of you are world known for your contributions to stvle and fashion. Also, in Paris I see vou, Suzanne Smith. You are Paris correspondent for the Chicago Tribune. Confused by the French idiom I am e'ad to see my crystal reflecting the familiar scenes of Georgia. Athens be¬ comes visible and there I see you, Mar¬ tha Allen, happily married and still .oving mathematics. Dorothy Bell, you are assisting in the English department and you, Willie Florence Eubanks, in the Latin department. The whole of Georgia can be seen and scattered over the entire state are various branches of welfare work. Prominent in the development of the program will be you, Mary Adams, Grace Robinson, Marie Simpson, and Nell Tarpley. Doing similar work in your own state I see you, Martha Ann Rodgers. Discarding my crystal, and sum¬ moning all my prophetic art and magic power, I can see you, Mary Green, that you will be one of the assistants in the Congressional Library, Washington, D. C. Washington, I can tell you, will also serve as the center of your activities—Mary Jane Evans and Clara Morrison—There you will | add to the honors being won by your sex in the legal profession. Now, Har¬ riet Dimmock and Elizabeth Heaton, will be traveling hither and yon over Europe trying to get a bit more of the inside story of European history. Alice Burke, Helen Derrick, Martha Red- wine, and Juliette Puett, you will be the eager and enthusiastic leaders of the A. A. A.—Association for the Ad¬ vancement of Anglo. Now, Jacqueline Woolfolk, Elizabeth Mannnig, and Ca¬ rol Griffin will be doing notable re¬ search in Biology. But—back again to my crystal—I oeer into its depths—a great ocean liner is taking shape, becomes visible, and on deck I see you, Marjorie Car¬ michael and Clara McConnell. It would seem that your conducted tours for college co-eds have become rather fa¬ mous. On the same boat are you, Peg Waterman and Mary Summers, both are married—you to an economics pro¬ fessor, Peg, and you to a mathematics teacher, Mary. May the seas of matri¬ mony always be calm and untroubled by storm and gale for the two of you. (These sentimental touches add even to a prophecy.) My crystal tells me that your fu¬ ture holds for you great success, Sa¬ rah Cook, as a second Walter Winchell. As for you, Betty Fountain and Anna Humber, you will leave scholarly pur¬ suits for industrial endeavor. Now you will be co-managers of a large vintage factory in France. Caroline Long and Nokie Spencer, you will both become doctors, special¬ izing in surgery—I think. Ah, the scene in my crystal is vaguely famil¬ iar— Of course, it's Agnes Scott with some of the "greater" added. I see vou, Frances McCalla and Nell Pattil' o and Virginia Nelson as members of die faculty of the "Greater Agnes Scott"—GOD BLESS HER! Lulu, do not include this merely my own com¬ ment to you. Well, I have looked into the future and I have seen each of you there. So it comes the time to cover my crystal. . . wait a minute, the old ball isn't blank. I see a couple of figures run¬ ning into line of visibility. Why, I recognize you Fidesah and Mary Lil¬ lian—even a bit late appearing in my crystal—I see the two of you leading an exploring party through Mexico— I'm sorry I can't tell you what or why you're exploring, but my power is fast ebbing. The best of luck to you, any¬ way. I am powerless. My art, my magic, my crystal—they're all gone. So—by your leave, I renounce my power of prophet, fortune teller, and crystal gazer. My services are no longer avail¬ able— Another failure—I make my farewells. HOSIERY Jn mrmnry of JBary HJouiHr Cattmrr Cflaso of 1935 DR. JACK COUNSELS A.S.C. ; '35 GRADUATES TO PIONEER (Continued from Page 1, Col. 5) generation is better prepared to cope with problems than ours was, we con: tinue to address you as you set out— ■ :o counsel you, to admonish you, to en¬ courage you, and to bid you God speed, in the high hopes of a more suc¬ cessful experience on your journey. 1 am calling this collection of words that I am addressing, quite humbly, to you today, FRONTIERS, PION¬ EERS—AND A LAST WORD. And since there are three items in this sub¬ ject, I call to mind the occasion when a learned bishop, invited to dedicate a newly built church, dedicated almost without end; it seemed to some who listened that already they were seeing signs of physical deterioration in the appearance of what had been at the beginning of the sermon a new struc¬ ture; the very building seemed to sigh, along with its occupants, over the memories of a long experience; when finally it was finished, another learned bishop, responsible for the invitation, with a tartness for which he is fa¬ mous, remarked that he well knew the right reverend brother had three ser¬ mons, but he never expected him to use all three on one occasion. Now, I haven't three sermons today; rather, at this moment, I am wondering if I have even one. I am genuinely sympa¬ thetic with the young fellow from an obscure western college, teaching for the first time one summer in the Uni¬ versity of Chicago. He met up with a self-satisfied scholar from the erud¬ ite East, who was complaining that he could not deliver in the twelve short weeks of the summer quarter the tre¬ mendous message he had for his studen ts. "That's all very well for you," said the Westerner, "but what troubles me is how I am going to make what I have to say last all of that time." I haven't, as I have said, three ser¬ mons, but I do have two somewhat dissimilar things to say to you—and I promise to say them both quite briefly—one concerned with your re¬ lationship with society, and the other with your relationship with yourself. From time immemorial the things and the ideas that lie just beyond our vision or our grasp have always ex¬ erted a tremendous and overwhelm¬ ing power on the spirits and the dreams of men and women of imagination and daring. This lure of the unknown, this eagerness to know, to see, to feel, to master has always been the moving cause, the constant urge, the propell¬ ing force of great discoveries, of wider conquests, of the gradual reaching out of men's minds and hearts and spirits into the vastnesses of the unknown and the unexperienced—the categori¬ cal imperative driving men forward, Compliments of A FRIEND LINGERIE The Stocking Shoppe 1 Broad St., N. \Y., (at Viaduct) and 146 Peachtree Arcade Peachtree Hosiery Shoppe 12 Peachtree St. Third Door North of Arcade Entrance j ; , j : ; j ; ; | I I j slowly, ardously, yet ceaselessly, to notable achievement and to the wid¬ ening of man's physical, moral, eco¬ nomic, political, spiritual, and social horizons. This spirit is not one of ease and contentment, of satisfaction and of servile acceptance of the existing condi¬ tions. It does not appeal to the weak or to the timid; it has no lure for the unimaginative or static mind; always it calls for courage and vision, almost for recklessness and daring. The fron¬ tiers of human experience call imperalively for vision and daring, for strength and courage, for hope, for aspiration, for deathless faith, possibly for self-immolation. This is the great challenge of the frontier, whatever, wherever, when- ver it may be. And to it the truly great in human history have ever responded. But one cannot think of a frontier without thinking as well of the pioneer. Christopher Columbus, cabinned in the narrow Mediterranean, dreaming of an unknown world be¬ yond the trackless seas, by his daring and his faith, trebled the area of the known physical world. St. Augustine, the mystic, meditating on the unex¬ plained world of religious experience changed the whole trend and tenor of Christian thought, and Wesley, preach¬ ing a doctrine of an inner light, changed the whole face of English thought. Copernicus, disregarding the accepted notion of celestial arrange¬ ment; Madame Curie, prying into un¬ known properties of matter; Edison, tirelessly experimenting with the un¬ explained forces of electricity; Com¬ modore Maury, with his studies of ocean movements, revolutionizing the science of navigation—all moving slowly, tediously, painstakingly, un¬ daunted by temporary failure and dis¬ appointment, through the myriad mazes of undiscovered natural laws and forces. And there were such pioneers, in another field, as Justinian, Locke, Rousseau, Jefferson, reaching out into untraveled paths of political control; and the humanistic scholars, pains¬ takingly piecing together the frag¬ mentary bits of learning, to form a better and a newer pattern of ideals and ideas. These great pioneers of hu¬ man genius—explorers, theologians, scientists, statesmen, humanists, reach¬ ing out into unknown areas, broaden¬ ing and deepening the mind and the spirit of man, opening new vistas, challenging constantly the unknown. And so today, young people just en¬ tering on a broader world beyond the college walls may, almost uncon¬ sciously, feel a certain hopelessness of spirit born of an idea that the frontier of human experience is gone and that the days of pioneering are over; that BURSON'S SHOE SHOP Ladies' Shoes Cemented Work Called for and Delivered 307 E.

Court Sq., __ Decatur, Ga ❖ I all that is to be done has been done; that there are now no new fields to pioneer—perhaps even that we have reached the limits of our horizon. In the field of invention, for example, what is there to do, now that we have our telephones, our electric lights, our radios, our airplanes, our submarines, cur electric refrigerators, wire photog¬ raphy, and all that, with television just around the corner? And vet is it not a sufficient answer to say that your great grandparents had none of these comforts, conpeniences, and irritants most of their generation could not con¬ ceive of such veritable miracles? In the face of such an idea as this, one cannot but think of an Alexander of Macedon, master of an infinitesimally small portion, just a city block, so to speak, of the world's territorial area, going desolately to his last sleep, sighing for more worlds to conquer; or a Harvard group of savants seriously questioning the validity of Harvey's theory of the circulation of the blood; or a Daniel Webster, inveighing against the new railroad trains, because, as he said, any instrument of locomotion de¬ signed to travel with such blinding speed as eight miles an hour contra¬ vened the will of God! And again it is said that the pio¬ neering spirit is dead, along with the removal of frontiers as a challenge to the daring. If the frontiers of human achievement are gone, perhaps the pioneers are gone as well. But not so— not if human history has any meaning. I heard a surly cynic say "The eagles all are dying,— The kings that nded the mountain tops are vanishing away." But from a thousand lofty peaks The echo comes, replying "The eagles of tomorrow arc the nestlings of today." The world you face today is nothing more than a vast frontier in the scope of man's imagination, almost un¬ touched, full of opportunity for the pioneer, open to development to those whose minds and hearts reach out to progress. Much as man has done in his short span on this earth, I believe only the surface of achievements has yet been touched.

ARE REVEALED By Anna Humber Some people are born lucky, and some are not. Some people get all the breaks and others none. Some seem to be born into a perfect set-up of time and situation, and sweep grandly thru life without an obstacle. We weren't. We, the class of 193 5, have hit all the red lights. So difficult has been our way, so beset with trial and misery, we call ourselves the red-headed step child class. It all started because we made a mistake in our time of coming. 19313 5 was no time to pick for a college career. There's been no money. We came up just in time to share the col¬ lege and the family economics. We even lived thereon the homely mora¬ toriums, with the help of Mr. Tart and Lawrence's credit department. And now, most cruel thrust of all, we are leaving school just in time not to get a grammar job. And it was an on-between time as far as the college was concerned too. We entered just too late to dedicate Buttrick; we leave just too soon to reap the benefits of our campaign—a new library, a new science hall, a stu¬ dent art building. We didn't get to have a class at Emory; unless we come back some years later to take our Ph.D. degreeh ere, we'll not profit by the proposed cooperation plan with Emory and Tech—there's been no surplus of young men on the campus during our regime. We didn't get to try out the quarter system; we are even, poor class, missing the benefits of comprehensive examinations. We must have started off wrong as freshmen — and, to be sure who wouldn't, being set down, immediately, a stranger in a strange land, to write a theme weekly on such subjects as Why to come to College and First Impres¬ sions of Tnmbuctoo or My Pet Poodle; and being required to budget one's days and live within the budget. It was disheartening, to say the least; and before we were through the emo¬ tions of loneliness and bewilderment, we run thru (?) bodily into plain ter¬ ror and despair, which came to us, sur¬ prisingly enough—surprising to us, anyway—at vespers, whither we went one night innocently enough. All went well, too, till the lights went out. Then came an every rattling of chains and black figures stalking down the aisle chanting: Freshmen, the Sopho¬ mores are after you today!" The fun had started: it lasted thru the next day —There's little more disconcerting to a freshman's poise than being ordered blossom like a lillie to scramble like eggs, or to sit on the edge of infinity and dangle one's feet over; though at that it's better than a belt line. Or a peanut race. The peanuts being moti¬ vated down the hall by one's nose. And there was our exasperating motto with which we had to greet the sopho¬ mores. Phis lousy loose-legged evon legally lauds thee. Selah. We insist that with the typical luck of step children we were the last to suffer the full stringency of ratting; the next year we were allowed to take our re¬ venge, but with reservations—it was strange revenge.

Cabinet held its an¬ nual Spring Retreat, May 5, at the Stone Mountain Camp. Many helpful changes for next year were discussed from these halls. We may have missed the Metropolitan Opera Co., but we received our full share of ratting and starvation dinners. Little that we have tried to do has prospered. In the competetive addition of the Agonistic each year, our record has been lamen¬ table. We started out ambitiously enough with our issue, the Scottentot, which we considered pure inspiration in the way of a name. It was probably the most freshmen freshmen newspa¬ per ever published by any Hottentot. Each year since we have struggled faithfully and have believed implicitly in the excellence of our issue till the judges reports have come in. However, in this our final year, our achievement has risen to a climax: we won third place in the Agonistic contest. And our record in the field of Ath¬ letics is, to put it mildly, regrettable, though we started out there also with vim and viguour; the Atheletic editor reported with awe one of the first hockey games of our first season here: the freshmen had put up a team of 11 members with 19 substitutes. It never happened again, somehow. I am inclined to think that people did not know exactly how to deal psychologi¬ cally. They discouraged or thwarted us. We started everything so bravely or something, but we never carried (Continued on Page 8, Col. 3) and plans were laid for the new fresh¬ men.

He was unwilling to with¬ draw into some dim cloister, there to content Himeslf with pious exercises. Neither did Jesus overcome the world by exploiting it. How different from Napoleon who tried to bend the na¬ tions to his wll that his thirst for power might be satiefied. Jesus over¬ came our world by releasing a new power for living. Jesus knew that by His life, His teachings, His death, and His resurrection, He was giving to the world permanent values which would eventually bring victory to His cause. He could make the claim that since these values were established at the heart of the universe, that conse¬ quently resources are available by the use of which His followers can make the same conquest which He had achieved in His own soul. One who companied with Him in the days of His flesh saw this clearly and recorded what he saw: "Whatsoever is begot¬ ten of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith. And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God." (2 John 5:4,5). In his recent book, Realistic Theol¬ ogy, Walter Marshall Horton, of Oberlin College, discusses the contribution of Christ. In that book are found these sentences: "He did nothing to clarify men's thinking about their cos¬ mic environment, nothing to overcome the niggardliness of nature, nothing to solve the vexing problems of state¬ craft and economic organization. Aristotle, Galileo, and Karl Marx have done more for the deliverance of man¬ kind along certain lines than he. But he did something more centrally im¬ portant for human deliverance than any philosopher, scientist, or social re¬ former can possibly do: he broke the power of sin, suffering, and death to corrupt and cow men's souls; and he let loose into the world a great torrent of divine life, love, and power, which is bound in the end to sweep all ob¬ stacles away before its onrush This power simply was not released before." Recall the rugged confession of George Bernard Shaw: "I am ready to admit that after contemplating the world and human nature for nearly sixty years, I see no way out of the world's misery but the way which would have been found by Christ's will if he had undertaken the work of a modern practical statesman Though we crucified Christ on a stick, he somehow managed to get hold of the right end of it, and .... if we were better men we might try his plan." The only way in which Jesus Christ can come to grips with the present mood is through men and women. This mood about which we have been speaking is in truth the accumulation of our individual attitudes. He can deal with it if He is allowed to deal with us, Jesus matches our fear with a faith in God which not only enables a man to stand anything that can hap- Try Our SANDWICHES We Make Them Right LAWRENCE'S PHARMACY Phones De. 0762-0763 ^jiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiif = Complimentsof E 1 FRANK G.

Jesus brings to our | confusion a single recommendation— j "the Way." He dissipates our disillu¬ sionment with a new enthusiasm. He lifts to our sense of futility a per¬ spective which keeps us sane in the face of disappointment. For our spir¬ itual anemia Jesus offers what the late Baron Von Hugel called "an overflow¬ ing interior plenitude." He challenges our restlessness with a revolutionary leadership which counts no cost and tolerates no compromise with wrong, however deeply entrenched. Yes, Jesus Christ is more than adequate to deal with these times—and with us. What will you say to these things? Will you graduate from this institu¬ tion declaring your faith with Bertrand Russell that all man's achieve¬ ments will finally be ruined by the "trampling march of unconscious power?" Will your faith be that of our high-minded non-theistic contem¬ porary, Walter Lippman, that life ought to be regarded by a wise man as "comedy, or high tragedy, or plain farce?" Or do you dare accept the spiritual leadership of Jesus Christ? I commend to you of this graduating class the measured words of Auguste Sabatier in his Outlines of a Philos¬ ophy of Religion: "If, wearied by the world of pleasure or of toil, I wish to find my soul again and live a deeper life, I can accept no other guide and master than Jesus Christ, because, in Him alone, optimism is without fri¬ volity, and seriousness without de¬ spair." Dr. McCain Reviews Campaign History Of Agnes Scott By Dr. J. R. McCain In 1926 Agnes Scott was given a Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, and this indicated that it had achieved the best possible educational rating; but it was at the very bottom of the Phi Beta Kappa colleges for women so far as en¬ dowment, plant and equipment were concerned. It was deemed essential that steps be taken to improve the physical appearance of the campus and to strengthen its income-producing funds. After careful plans had been made, the General Education Board of New York was invited to participate in our developments. This Board had an¬ nounced its withdrawal from the gen¬ eral college field, and it was no small task to convince them that Agnes Scott is an exceptional institution. Early in 1929 President Arnett and other representatives of the Board vis¬ ited the College, and very readily agreed to give us $5 00,000 if other friends would raise an additional $1,000,000. They took this action "in recognition of its excellent work, standing, and influence." The total fund was to be used one-third for en¬ dowment and two-thirds for buildings, land, and improvements. The story of the progress of this campaign is known to most Agnes Scott friends. By July 1, 1931, the full subscriptions were in hand, and the General Education Board sent us a check for more than $2 5 8,000 at one time as a pro rata payment on what we had then collected. It has been difficult to get money during the years 193 1-193 5 ; but more than 8,000 good friends have stood faithfully by us, and we have now gotten all but $98,000 of what we must secure to col¬ lect in full from the General Education Board. In the mean time the Board has real¬ ized the fine support which our friends are giving us and the difficulties of the times, and they have made a very un¬ usual offer of an extra $100,000 as a bonus if we collect in full our money by July 1, 193 5. This will make a total fund of $1,600,000 if we can get all of it. It is perhaps the very best offer made to any American College, and we are eager to take full advantage of it. The time is very short. It will take the best efforts of every Agnes Scott friend to win. We have confi¬ dence to believe that it can be done, but it will take many small gifts and some large ones for complete success.

You who to¬ day in this place and in hundreds of similar places are receiving the im¬ primatur of academic accomplishment, you who stand today facing forward, you are truly living and will live, if you are of the stuff I think you are, on the frontier of achievement, and you are, in very truth, pioneers of a new day. Perhaps this is an unwelcome thought; perhaps you would be content with the world as it is; perhaps you are inclined to feel as that timid soul of Shakespeare's creation, "The world is out of joint. Ah, wretched spite, that ever I was born to set it right." But I am unwilling to believe that of the strong, well-trained, forward-looking young college men and women of to¬ day. Rather I choose to think that you would say with Rupert Brooke, that brave young soul, facing far worse conditions than any you face today: "Then God be thanked, Who has joined me to His Hour, with hand made strong, clear-eyed, etc." You were, in a very real sense, of pioneer spirit when you chose to reach out beyond the aims and ideals of most of those with whom you had been as¬ sociated and to enter this college, four years ago; that was your frontier then and you were pioneering—or at least you were preparing to pioneer. It is beside the mark smugly to say that colleges are old familiar things and that those who enter are merely fol¬ lowing the beaten track. It took cour age and daring and foresight and, in many cases, real sacrifice to set out on a four years' course of preparation un¬ der conditions as they were in 1931. Only the strongest dared and only the stongest have survived. You entered into a little frontier of pioneer-experi¬ mentation. And now it is certainly true that you face conditions quite as unfathomable, quite as unknown, quite as hazardous as pioneers in other days and in other ways faced. But as pio neering has always been the joyful en¬ terprise of daring spirits, offering a rich reward, I do not condole with you, rather I congratulate you. Again I urge you to think as Rupert Brooke thought and to say to yourself, "Then thanks be to God Who has joined me in His hour"—this hour in which you now live and in which you will serve. And in very truth the world that you are coming into is a very different world from that we have formerly known. There are frontier conditions in the real sense that you face; it is a new philosphy of life that you must pioneer. The tasks and the difficul¬ ties—and the rewards for achieve¬ ment—are fully equal to those that faced pioneers of different sorts in years gone by. Now I do not know the problems of this new frontier that you are en¬ tering today, nor do I know how to dvise you to conduct your pioneering. The point is that this college has trained you for just such times and for just such problems as you face. Thine was the prophet's vision, The exultation, the divine Insanity of noble minds, That never falters nor abates But labors and endures and waits— Till all that it foresees it finds, Or what it cannot find, creates. Dare to say, with Robert Louis Stevenson, "My mistress still the open road, And the bright eyes of danger." And now, turning somewhat ab¬ ruptly away from this idea of you as DECATUR BEAUTY SALON 409 Church Street Tel. De. 4692 A. S. C.'s Trade Appreciated DECATUR WOMAN'S EXCHANGE DeKalb Theatre Bldg. Flowers, Gifts for Graduation, and Cards Dearborn 3343 pioneers in a new frontier, let me say a few last words to you, as you leave your beloved alma mater—some words that I hope will be of service to you as you enter on your pioneering, words that come out of a long experience with college students and college graduates. And so the older generation, of which I am a part, speaks today, but very humbly and very hesitatingly, to the newer generation, of which you are a part. If a bare-footed cobbler, so to speak, may be permitted out of a vivid real¬ ization of his own improvidence and lack of vision to offer advice, these are some of the things my generation, con¬ scious of its failures and imperfections, might say to you: 1. Don't cease to be students, now that you have your diplomas. If your diploma is to you a symbol of a com¬ pleted education, then it is as sound¬ ing brass and a tinkling cymbal. Keep on learning, keep on studying, but learn life and study mankind. Your educa¬ tion has just begun today, as you re¬ ceive your college degree. The college Has not educated you, no college can really educate a man or a woman. It can only prepare and furnish tools for you and offer you a selection. You must educate yourself. These exercises are quite appropriately called a Com¬ mencement, a beginning. Somewhere I remember reading a statement made by Theodore Roosevelt, running something like this: "When I was graduated from Harvard College in 18 80, I then began my education." Now Roosevelt was not an ignorant and unlearned man in 1880; on the contrary, it is obvious that he had profited tremendously from his four years in Cambridge. He was ready to begin, the tools had been fashioned for him, life lay spread out before him, his vision had been en¬ larged and his zeal had been inspired. He was prepared to live a life. And you are prepared—ready to learn, ready to serve, ready to use the tools this fine college has fashioned for you. In this connection I recall one of the best def¬ initions of what an education is that I have ever read. It was written many years ago by John Milton, one of the wisest and most far-seeing men of his day (the 17th Century in England). "I call, therefore," Milton wrote, "a complete and generous education that which fits a man to perform justly, skillfully, and magnanimously, all the offices, both public and private, in peace and in war." That, I think, is what an education does for one. It does not necessarily tell him every¬ thing he well might know, it does not necessarily train him in all the skills and philosophies, it fits him to do in fine fashion whatever needs to be done by him at any time and under all cir¬ cumstances. You have the tools, the college has furnished them to you, learn how to use them to the greatest advantage of yourself and mankind. Keep on studying, keep on learning. 2. Live life to the full. Live it viv¬ idly, live it eagerly, live it with gusto nd enjoyment. Life is given us to live, not niggardly to conserve. Run out to meet it and take it into your bosom. Live a full life and be not too sparing or overcautious. Some cautious folk advise you not to burn your andle at both ends. I say to you, burn it at both ends and wherever else you can strike a light—and say to the world as the poet has beautifully said to the super-cautious: "My candle burns at both ends, It will not last the night, But oh, my foes and ah, my friends, It gives a lovely light." Of course I am not advocating a wast¬ rel existence; I am not advocating the flaunting of the laws of God or of man or of the science of health. But in the hmits of reason and good sense that God and man have set, live your life— live a full, abundant, abounding, joy¬ ous life. And so bring joy and glad¬ ness into this dreary, tired, disap¬ pointed world that we are passing on to you. 3. Believe in yourself and have re- Swannee Sweet Shops 107 Sycamore Street Decatur, Georgia G. M. GREELY, Prop. spect for yourself and your powers. Do not underestimate your God-given attributes. You are now become mem¬ bers of the elect of the earth. As col¬ lege graduates, you are among the highest two per cent of the educated people of America. The largesses of a beneficent Providence have been showered on you. The learning of the whole world, the treasures of the ages have been put under tribute for your training. Contrary to what many say to you, I say, be proud of yourself and of the opportunities you have enjoyed. A justifiable pride is not to be scorned. But let your pride be the pride of noblesse oblige. 4. Think for yourself, but have re¬ spect for the opinions of others. No one can do your thinking for you. Thinking is essentially an individual¬ istic process. But do not become proud in opinion. Even a fool frequently has something of value to offer to a col¬ lege graduate. Do not cut yourself away from the past. Even the mem¬ bers of the older generation, as discred¬ ited and ashamed as we are, may have thoughts and ideas of value to you. But pass these through the fine sifter of your own mental machinery. Yet above all things, use your own brain; think for yourself. 5. Love your native land and serve it. Ordered and orderly government is one of the essentials for peace and happiness, for progress and prosperity. Intelligent and searching criticism of government has never been more needed than now. Carping criticism gets us nowhere. Constructive think¬ ing and intelligent, informed action are sorely needed for the onward jour¬ ney of the Ship of State. Take your full share in this, assume your full re¬ sponsibility as educated men and wo¬ men. Study your government and its problems, participate in their solutions. As I have said, government is an es¬ sential. See that ours is well and hon¬ estly conducted. Refuse to sit in a scorner's seat. Bear your part of the responsibility. The educated citizen who does not vote and who does not take his full responsibility for good and efficient and honest government is a genuine menace. If you fail, to whom can we look? 6. Fear God, not in any craven adjectness of spirit, but with uplifted face. Despite the clamor and the clap trap in certain pseudo-intelligent cir¬ cles, God has not yet been outmoded. Religion is still the supreme concern of created man, his supreme stay, his supreme hope. I preach no doctrine of peculiar creed or of fine-spun and theoretical theological abstraction, but I urge you, in honesty and in sincerity, to hold fast to the love of God, to trust in his goodness and powers, and to rely on Him as your Stay and your Support. 7. And finally, do not take your¬ self too seriously! This is the famous Rule No. 7, I believe, of the late Dwight Morrow. We are all human, we are all prone to error. Learn to laugh at yourself. All the issues of life and of death do not rest in your hands alone.—Be human, do not take yourself too seriously! And now I pray that joy and hap¬ piness and love and service and a long life may spread fairly out before you as you journey on and that you may come to the end of your days with a consciousness that you have lived the good life and have served well your God and your country and your fel¬ low man and have brought added re¬ nown to your beloved and famous alma mater. And on a commencement occasion one ought not to fail to quote at least one Latin expression: Macte virtute esto!—which the noble Gildersleeve has so beautifully translated (if you need a translation) God speed you in your high career. I can sense the pride your college has in you today, the joy with which it sends you out, well furnished to serve your day and generation, the confidence it has in you, and the hope. I can almost hear its voiceless prayers for you and its Godspeed. "And when the world shall praise your name For gracious deeds and manners fine, Your mother will assert her claim And proudly whisper, These are 44444❖4-4*❖44*444 * 4-4*4 The Agoxistic EDITOR'S NO I E An edition of THE AGOXISTIC at this time of year evokes surprise from the College. An edition of THE AGO¬ XISTIC of such abnormal size as this one at any time in the year evokes a word of explanation from the Editor. The purpose of this issue is to draw- together as well as possible the close of the session 1934-35. By means of a somewhat retrospective editorial, we have attempted to review the activi¬ ties of the past year with a fair de¬ gree of accuracy as to dates. The Commencement address and the Bac¬ calaureate sermon we have printed in full. The news articles cover the cam¬ pus events since the last regular issue of THE AGOXISTIC. The Class Day- program speaks for itself. In spite of everything, the spirit of willing cooperation with us on this paper has been most gratifying. The entire campus, in one way or another, have expressed their interest in the project. Special mention and individ¬ ual thanks must go: to Professor Hayes whose idea the Commencement edition originally was; to Dr. McCain who, financially and news-ily, helped to carry the idea along; and to Mr. Bowen and his men who patiently and reassuringly held our hand while the paper was steadily growing from a modest four-page sheet to this amaz¬ ing out-size. . . . eight pages. There are many sins, both of omis¬ sion and commission in this AGOXIS¬ TIC. It is a first mighty effort toward making THE AGONISTIC take the vi¬ tal place it rightfully should fill in the college life at Agnes Scott. And the highest we can wish for it is that this first Commencement AGONISTIC will set a precedent which succeeding editors must follow; that eventually it will become one of the traditions of Agnes Scott College. Glee Club Presents ar 'The Pirates of Penzance" The Glee Club of Agnes Scott Col¬ lege, under the direction of Mr. Lewis H. Johnson, of the voice department, presented the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera, The Pirates of Penzance, on Saturday evening in the Burcher Scott Gymnasium as part of the 46th annual Commencement Program. Mr. C. W. Dieckmann, head of the music department of Agnes Scott, was the accompanist. Members of the cast included: Rich¬ ard, a Pirate King, Eugene Traber; Samuel, his lieutenant, Jack Bagwell; Frederic, a pirate apprentice, Bealy Smith; Ruth, a piratical maid of all work, Jane Clark; Major-General Stanley, of the British Army, Richard Smoot; Mabel, General Stanley's youngest daughter, Betty Lou Houck; Edward, a sergeant of police, Walton Bobo; General Stanley's daughters: Geraldine Young; Alice Chamlee; Mil¬ dred Thompson. The chorus of General Stanley's daughters was as follows: Jean Barry Adams, Louise Brown, Gene Caldwell, Shirley Christian, Mildred Davis, Car¬ olyn Elliott, Nell Hemphill, Sarah Jones, Sarah Malone, Rosa Miller, Mary Alice Newton, Rose Northcross, Mary Past, Mary Earnest Perry, Frances Steele, Mary Thompson, Jane Allen Webb, Frances Wilson, Virginia Wood. Members of the pirate and police¬ man chorus were: James Addy, John Austin, Alexander Blair, Marion Bullard, Guy Chappcll, Philip Davidson, Wilson Davis, Boyce Dial, Harold Dobbs, Gordon Gill, J. Flowell Green, Jr., Ulrich Green, George Hayes, John Houck, Frank Manning, Henry Rob¬ inson, Moore J. Smith, Jack Smoot, Raymond Stanley, Charles Staples, Stephen Rives, Don White. Evelyn Wall was stage manager; Alice Chamlee, publicity manager; Rosa Miller, business manager; Jane Clark, property manager; Virginia Wood, costume manager. It has become almost traditional for the Glee Club to present a Gilbert and Sullivan opera at commencement. Last vear The Mikado was given, and Pin¬ afore was presented two years ago.

CITADEL CLASS POEM | ByMary Boggs i Why seek u e here to raise some citadel j Of spirit on the too inconstant sand That baffles the restlcs mind at every siceII Of leaves; the scattered heart makes here no stand Against the bright assault of April, the swift j And breathless hurt of sudden snow; no brace Before the tide of shapeless days, the shift Of darkening winds across the blinded face. Yet still we shall be building, stone on stone, A citadel along the changing shore. Inviolate, where we shall watch alone The unrelenting dawn advance against the door. And from the crumbling walls the stricken eye May see a winged pattern light the eastern sky. FOUR YEARS OF 1935 ARE REVEALED (Continued from Page 5, Col. 4) through, we are inured to defeat; we do not feel at ease above third place. And our class cooperation is miracoulous to see; the list of our senior swim¬ ming team reads majestically: Betty Fountain. However, during our Soph, year, we did win first place in the last swimming meet. That year is also memorable as the period when Fedessah went in for beauty culture. F. fur¬ nishes the red headed part of the red headed step child's class. She found one day a blonde rinsing her hair in lemon juice. Why, asked Fidessah, being possessed of intellectual curiosity. "To keep it light," answered the blonde. Fidesah went to Decatur and bought a sack of oranges. And then, there was the matter of the stunt. As freshmen we put on our take-off in the airial comedy, Cloud- Hoppers, with Mary Boggs as Will Fly, the hero, and Lib Young as Haint Flown, the villian. We thought the stunt was elegant, but the Sophom. won. The Sophs won the next year too, and we were it. The plot, largely conceived by Mary Boggs and Loice Richards, was a grana conglomoration of nursery-foiK—Little Bo-Peep, the three Blind Mice, King Cole and his fiddlers three, Lucy Lockett— It reached its climax in Mother Goose's real goose, or else in tne mar¬ riage of Puss in Boots and Lucy Lock¬ ett, or probably in the delightful poe¬ try which Simple Simon quoted in his own inimitable way: The little fishes in the brook They swim and play the live long day My sister had a horse. Anyway, we won the stunt and Hey Diddle Diddle gave us a new lease on life. For, the red-headed child grew up and got a permanent. It hasn't been entirely a dismal life we've led here; and it wasn't an absolutely inauspic¬ ious time to come. We have been here, of course, the four years that the Me¬ tropolitan Opera Co. did not come. But, on the other hand, we have heard Paderewski, and Kreisler, and Lily Pons, we have heard here at school the lec¬ tures of Will Durant and Louis Untermeyer, Joseph Anslander, Arthur Compton and Edna St. Vincent Mil-j lay, not to mention the lecturer—our j freshman year who came attired in j golf pants and an evening coat to lec-; ture on Byzantine art. And afterwards offered to fence with anyone who would volunteer. We were here to I see the initiation of Hoasc, the local j senior honorary society into Motar Board. i Increasingly, thru the four years we I have benefitted from improvements ■ in social regulations, which have made j this school one of the most reasonable I of those College schools which must, of necessity, keep strict surveilance over the social life of the students, j Alberta Palmour has proved herself i one of the ablest presidents that Stu¬ dent Government has ever had here; i we have heard, as well as Mary Boggs, to boast of specially, it was under Bert's leadership, that the fund was 1 raised among students and Alumnae for Dr. McCain's portrait, a long meditated project that was brought to j completion this year. There have been the epoch-making ! events this year also. Mortar Board's parties for the freshmen for instance, so that even they may meet and know young men of Atlanta and Decatur; ! and the Fashion Show sponsored by the Silhouette, which was like nothing else that ever has been at Agnes Scott. And there's Senior Opera, which was a triumph irom the nrst crepe paper wig to the last peanut in the grand¬ stands. ine opera, misrepresented this year by tne Semorpohtan Opera Co. was Sams bon and the Lilac; the cast was Sam s Son and de Lilac; tne cast included Doth Sam's bon and wicKed the Lilac, and God Iva with bouncing hair.

Mot¬ toes were strung everywhere, such as "munch a hunkey after lunchy." We kept ourself stripped of money with which we might have paid our pledges, trying to support the money making efforts of another group. The cam¬ paign was sponsored by M. B., but seniors can't take the credit for its grand success. This was a cause in which all the students were remark¬ ably united, though the race was run competitively. Man-of-War, the fac¬ ulty horse, won the Derby. But the senior class horse Twenty Grand, Jocky Mary Green came up, with a grand to¬ tal of $2,057.10. Our class gift goes to the campaign. We may have entered school at a time when we missed the advantage of living in the cottages or working on the quarter system, but we experienced the excitement on the ex¬ hilaration of this campus campaign, whose goal had been set tentatively at $15,000; here on the campus within ten days, over $24,000 was raised. The red-headed step child had her day. Pathetically and journalistically speaking, we may not be preeminent; we may even have to hang our red heads in shame. But then our compen¬ sations—Scholastically, this is a ban¬ ner class. Thruout the four years, a compaUtively large number of the class have been on the Honor Roll, and a proportion of the people on the Honor Roll have been members of this class—And this year, a thing was done which is rarely done—the full Phi Beta Kappa quota was filled; eleven members of the class of '3 5 were elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa. And so in one way or another, the red-headed step child class has come into its own. We are not ashamed of our records here, or of our contribu¬ tions to the College. We think it only goes to show that you never can tell what may become of the ugly duckling.

To the old collegiates we would say, "Welcome back. We hope you will share with us the benefits of a pleasant summer. Stu¬ dent Government goes forward on your strength." And to the new collegiates we would express, "A special welcome to you! You will add new life to the student body with the new interests and personalities which you bring to us. It is our wish this year that each student will recognize the Student Government Association as a means of effective self-expression. It is our pur¬ pose to use the power which the ad¬ ministration has given us for interests of the entire college community." Encouraged by the success of the Greater Agnes Scott Campaign and by contacts with the faculty we are ready for work. Adelaide Stevens President of Student Government. A. A. Urges '39 To Be Sporting and - Opening day at last! Vacation has been wonderful for us all, but there's no denying it's great to be at Agnes Scott today. You new students are, of course, eager to see just how things "tick" here on the campus, and we others are equally as anxious to begin again the fun we've already tasted. Perhaps these miles of red-tape in¬ volved in registration make you won¬ der just where we keep this fun all Hottentots claim to have! Just don't give up the ship, 'cause registration can't last forever, and we have good times in A. A. all the time. Try that sing this Tuesday night in Main, and croon off your registration wearies. In fact, whenever in need (of nomatter- what) try A. A. first! You've no idea how a round of tennis can change your attitude toward chemistry problems or theme conferences. Or what relief to discover that Lost and Found really has found your pet foun¬ tain pen or his fraternity pin! And of course you'll want to learn all the latest dance steps, not to mention the most fashionable and acceptable meth¬ od of wielding that wicked ping pong paddle. You're going to have more than one person advise you to study much and diligently; so, if I may leave those ad¬ monitions to others, let me advise you to l>lay often, whole-heartedly, and as well as you can. A. A. welcomes you! Ann Coffee President of Athletic Association. Y. W. C. A. Offers Challenge to All New Students When you first come to college you will find that life may be rather com¬ plicated. When you were at home you always had someone to call on, to ad¬ vise you, or to help you in the smallest things. Here at school you must learn to live independently and to "shift" for yourself. That is just where the Y. W. C. A. comes in at Agnes Scott. We want to help you as much as possible, and we are anxious really to know you. In our Y. W. C. A. you will find a wonderful opportunity for spiritual growth, along with a great deal of fun and enjoyment from all our activities. Later in the fall you will learn all about our "hobby groups" which will give you a chance to cultivate almost any hobby you have ever cared for. Don't miss our Y. W. C. A. tea on Thursday afternoon and the Inman floor party Friday night. They will both give you wonderful chances to meet vtore girls! We really need your help as much as you may need ours. Won't you sign up with us and work with us? We need you and we want you. Make this or¬ ganization yours as well as ours. We are glad that you are all here and to each of you the Y. W. C. A. extends the heartiest welcome. Sarah Spencer President of Y. W. C. A. Day Students Must Be Campus-Minded Welcome to Agnes Scott, the friend¬ liest, finest school in the world. We open our arms and hearts wide to you and bid you to come in. Won't you? Freshmen! Your college career has begun! May you keep your eyes peeled for every opportunity that knocks at your door and may you learn early what it really means to be a Hotten¬ tot. Day Students, do not think that be¬ cause you are not boarding, you can¬ not take part in every college activity. Just remember that what you do at college, what you achieve, what friends you make, depends entirely on you, so make your stay at A. S. C. a joyful one. If you wish to spend the night on the campus, there are day student rooms all ready and waiting for you where you can not only enjoy a very comfortable night, but also get a taste of boarding life. Don't forget the stunt. It is the first important activity of the fresh¬ men. Put all you have into it, and re¬ member that co-operation in this first event indicates your spirit in the ac¬ tivities of your other years at Agnes Scott. Mary Snow President of Day Students. Greater Agnes Scott This is how Agnes Scott will look some years hence—perhaps when you are seniors! It has been made possible by a series of campaigns, the last of which—and by far the jolliest!—being the Victory Effort which closed on July 1, 193 5. Of course you all missed that tremendous campus drive in the Spring—the all-College luncheon in the gym and the horse race (which the Juniors won!). All of that was fun, w o M but just think! you all are going to see greater Agnes Scott grow—almost under your eyes! And the new library building is first! Just because you missed our fun of raising the money is no sign it's not as much yours as ours. It's yours now for keeps—today in the living reality of it all, later, in memories of the fin¬ est, dearest four years of your life— four years filled with activity and study, four years steeped in the sacred traditions of Agnes Scott College. ^f?

Make-up THE APPROACHING GREATER AGNES SCOTT What with new roads and side¬ walks and steps and general im¬ provements on the campus, the ideal of a Greater Agnes Scott no longer exists as a shadow of the future. Especially does the sight of the empty space between Buttrick and the gym take the futuristic touch altogether out of Greater Agnes Scott. The fact that bids for the new library are to open on October 15 enhances the prospect for all of us—even those of us who came through the thrill and excitement of the Victory Effort Campaign of last spring. Yet the need of a library commensurate with the demands of such an institution as Agnes Scott is not much greater than the need of a center for student! ab]y jn 1934.35, will be followed life on the campus. Such a center will be realized in the remod¬ eling of the present library into a Student Activities Building. The necessity for a gathering place for students has long been felt by students and administra¬ tion alike. Definite rooms for meetings so that clubs would no longer have to visit around in studios and parlors; offices for publications so that editors would not have to work in the nearest empty corner; a place where stu¬ dents could gather for social functions and general hilarity— these have been lacking in the campus life of the past. And these will be furnished by the proposed Student Activities Building. This concentration of campus life will not only remove many of j normal, and a more nearly round¬ ed social life here. WHY NOT PAY YOUR BUDGET NOW? The matter of the Budget is again the subject of much dis¬ cussion on the campus; it is every fall. Nevertheless it still merits serious attention mainly because the money derived from it forms the basis of many of the important organizations at Ag¬ nes Scott. And, although the amount is comparatively small— especially when it's paid on the installment plan, there are many students who feel unable to bear the extra expense or who under¬ estimate the value of the fee. ..» The Budget not only supports she takes part, or has the right to Part in ever>' Phase take part, : i of the college life. The SO-called "black list" made up of those students who have not paid their Budget is, unfor¬ tunately, no disgrace. Names of some of the "better people" ap¬ pear there from time to time. One year in the past the name of Student Government president held its alphabetical position on the "black list" for an entire ses¬ sion. Consequently, in the spring of '34, a plan was adopted where¬ by each Budget-supported or¬ ganization would lose a certain percentage of its money, the amount forfeited being figured on the basis of the number of "black list" people in the group. This plan, which worked admir agajn this year. The logical way to eliminate this annual disturbance is, of course, to include the Budget in the tuition. And, although this may be done by next fall, it is clearly out of the question for this session. Therefore, in the meantime, we have the matter of the Budget. A good two weeks remain before the posting of first semester "black list"—for there MUST be a black list. Or MUST there? We wouldn't consider making this a lOOQ' Budget-paid session, would we? Or would we? FOR FRESHMEN ONLY A Key to Current History ETHIOPIA Ethiopia, "in a sense an image of the ancient world that has remained un¬ changed throughout the centuries," suddenly finds herself brought to the world's attention, because she is in¬ volved in rumors of war with Italy. Interested observers discuss the facts that Ethiopian natives smoke too much and that they go without shoes or that, according to legend, the Queen of Sheba ruled the land and was followed in the legal procession by her son, Menjlik I, whose father was Solomon. Ethiopia would merit attention even if she were not involved in a threat to he sanctity of international agree¬ ments. Sometimes this feudal state, which has no outlet to the sea, is called "Abyssinia," a word of Semitic origin, BOOK To-Day's To-Morrou, Walter S. Martin. Christopher Publishing House ($2.50). A new novel in a new style by a new author, To-Day's To-Morroiv is not a novel but a series of character sketches connected closely enough only to re¬ tain the interest of the reader. The story, in short, centers about a mother, who is a kleptomaniac, and her chil¬ dren, all of whom are queer, somewhat perverted, but brilliant. The mother, Sara Willis, blindly devoted to her old¬ est son. Sonny, a doctor, interests her¬ self superficially in the activities of her other offspring in between her zeal¬ ously pursued social work and her re¬ ligiously attended seances. The first part of the book, called Illusion, por¬ trays the family in its natural setting under normal conditions.

"It is sacred to Abyssinians, essential to Egypt and the Sudan, coveted by Italy, of vital in¬ terest to Great Britain, and under treaty subject to American control." The character of the country is prob¬ ably the main reason why Ethiopia has remained practically a feudal state and kept so many of its old customs. The general opinion is that the people do not desire any change; they cling to tradition and insist that the old cus¬ toms remain. Illiteracy is almost uni¬ versal; and society is made up of classes, the basis of which is military.

The high point of the action ar¬ rives when, just before she is to be ar¬ rested for stealing, she falls over dead of heart failure at the sight of Sonny's face and the sound of his voice in a seance.

But —have you heard about chapel? Chapel at Agnes Scott is dif¬ ferent from chapel at many col¬ leges mainly because it's not compulsory. And the reason it is not compulsory is because most of us get the chapel-going habit early in our freshman year. It furnishes a half-hour of relaxa¬ tion from classes—perhaps from the very classes from which you need relaxation most.

The Stars Look Dou n—A. J. Cronin. Dr. A. J. Cronin, English physician, novelist, and author of Hatter's Castle, depicts in his latest novel lite in an English coal-mining town from the years 1903 to 193 3. He writes from the point of view of a physician, an¬ alyzing his characters as a doctor an¬ alyzes his patients, stating the facts but offering no remedy. Especially in¬ teresting is his account of the struggle between labor and capital during the thirty years' span of his book. Aly Country and My People—Lin Yutang. Few countrymen write of their na¬ tive lands with more truth and flavor and with less boastfulness than Mr. Yutang writes of China. In exceptional English prose he touches upon each phase of life in his country—not blind¬ ed, but guided by affection for it. Pearl S. Buck said of My Country and My People, "It is the truest, the most profound, the most important book yet written about China." Vein of Iron—Ellen Glasgow. Courage, sweet and blind, is, as the title suggests, the keynote of Miss Glas¬ gow's new novel. She successfully un¬ dertakes a great difficulty in present¬ ing the six major characters of the book in six consecutive chapters. The story centers around a poor minister in a small Virginia town, his daughter and light-headed wife, the grandmother, and the housemaid—each with his own brand of courage. Readers of the Vein of Iron will appreciate the excellence of the book as well as the worth of an author whose rise to fame has been sure and steady.

The Agonistic AUROKA ANNOUNCES EXCHANGE STUDENTS ENROLLMENT FOR SCHOOL YEAR 1935-1936 INCLUDES EXPRESS DELIGHT WITH AGNES SCOTT What Agnes Scott would be without the Exchange students that come every year from across the sea no one knows, and fortunately no one needs to know, for this year again a girl from Ger¬ many, Lucie Hess, and a girl from France, Marcelle Cappatti, have en¬ rolled in the College. Marcelle Cappatti is eighteen, a na¬ tive of Nice, a wonderful and fascinat¬ ing city, according to her; she thinks it unsurpassed, with its old churches and straight cypress trees. Since her fa¬ ther was a French officer, she passed most of her interesting childhood in Germany in Mainz. Naturally from this contact, she loves Germany, its people, and its literature almost as well as her native land. Later on Marcelle was in Philippville, Algeria, for four years, learning to love the sunny land and its treas¬ ures of tapestry and embroidery, some of which she has brought with her to Agnes Scott. Like most French girls, she is very fond of dancing and sing¬ ing, while her favorite sport is swim¬ ming. She attended school at the Lycee in Nice, and it is from there that she comes to Agnes Scott. Marcelle came to America on the Lafayette during the past summer, landing in New York at midnight, and her impressions of the great city with its lights at that first glimpse are very vivid. "But the Statue of Liberty is so small!" she complained! After only a day in New York she spent a few days in Riverdale, where she met Lucie Hess, the other Exchange student. Lucie is nineteen, and was born in Jena, though since that time, she has lived in Stuttgart in southern Germany. She is the niece of Rudolf Hess, one of Hitler's most prominent represen¬ tatives, in whose charge is the settle¬ ment of race and church questions. During her early life she traveled widely in Europe, and is well acquaint¬ ed with Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, and the Netherlands, besides all parts of Germany except East Prussia. For thirteen years she has attended Obercalschule in Stuttgart, finishing last year. Lucie is keenly interested in the na¬ tional organizations of her country. She has been for six years a member of the Protestant Girl Guides, and had planned to go into the Service Labor camps, the regular year's service for the government that is required of Ger¬ man girls. Like a true German, Lucie plays the piano and loves music, especially organ music. In Germany she attended con¬ certs almost continually. "Cultural life," she says, "has changed very much for the better under Hitler." She is fond, too, of hiking, another national hobby. Lucie came over on the Albert Ballin with forty-seven other German transfer students. They evidently had a gay voyage, and gathered for the last time at Riverdale to sing their na¬ tional songs together. "We sang a great deal," said Lucie, "to make up for our year in America when we cannot sing our songs."

Mr. Murphey Candler, a member of the original board of trustees of Agnes Scott College, died on August 7, 193 5, He was a member of the committee appointed to draft the charter and by¬ laws of the Institution in 18 89, and has drafted every change that has been made during these 46 years. For more than 20 years he served as chairman of the executive commit¬ tee of the College; for 15 years he was chairman of the committee on build¬ ings and grounds, and under his chair¬ manship there has been an expenditure of more than $1,500,000 for improve¬ ments. Mr. Candler was responsible for the awards of scholarship. He has also been active in all the campaigns for the Col¬ lege, and served as treasurer of the first drive in 1909. No other person has had so long a connection with the Institu¬ tion as he; his is a unique place in the history of Agnes Scott.

However, since this bay and its port were bought primarily for a coaling station and since it did not seem worthy of development, Italian interest in its new-found colony waned until she found she had been cheated out of Tunisia, on the northern coast of Italy, by France in 1881. It was about this time that the "scramble for Africa" began among the European nations, and the Berlin Conference of December, 1884, strengthened this fact. At the time of the conference some Italians returning from an offi¬ cial mission to Ethiopia were massacred by natives; and Italy seized upon this as an excuse to settle Massawa, which was the natural port for the trade of the Ethiopian plateau. The settlement of Massawa seemed only a signal for Italians to settle in other parts of Ethiopia, and the situa¬ tion began to appear difficult. Italian troops were sent in, and by 1887 sev¬ eral conflicts had occurred between Italians and natives. In 1889 Menelik of Ethiopia concluded the Treaty of Uccialli with Italy. Later Menelik found that he had been tricked and sought to acquire France's aid and to turn against Italy. Several bloody bat¬ tles followed; and Menelik, who was successful in the encounters, suggested a peace conference. The Italians, how¬ ever, desiring to avenge their defeat, re¬ fused. Then occurred, in March, 1896, the tremendous Italian defeat at Aduwa. Peace was made in October, 1896. at Addis Ababa, and Italy kept Eritrea. In the peace treaty Italy recognized Ethiopia's independence. Ethiopia enjoyed her independence until the period of the World War; this was because Italy had no colonial administrators and was in no position to interfere. Since the War, however, Italy has become "colony conscious," and she has a sufficiency of colonial officials. The Treaty of 1906 between England, France, and Italy maintained that these countries are the guardians of Ethiopia and that no one govern¬ ment should intervene there without the consent of the other two. Then followed the Treaty of London of 1915, which provided that Italy was (Continued to page 3, column 4) PAY YOUR BUDGET Alumnae News Sara Hewlett, '3 3, will be married October 9 to Lamar H. Ellis.

BOOK NOTES EXCHANGES Life uith Father—Clarence Dav, Jr. Only a dutiful and irresistible son could have added that final touch to the character of Old Clarence Day, Wall Street broker of the past genera¬ tion. Dignified and stern, taking him¬ self seriously and being taken serious¬ ly, Mr. Day, Sr., is now surveyed through the eye of comedy and made human with the rest of us. Excellent wit and discrimination were employed by the author in giving this new angle to the character and yet preserving its dignity and strength. Scien Pillars of Wisdom—T. E. Lawrence. This is the full, unstinted account of Lawrence's great Arabian adventure, of which The Revolt in the Desert was only a faint echo. Here he pours out all that which he alone knows of the children of the desert. The story pictures at the outset Lawrence as a young, intelligent officer in the Arab Bureau at Cairo, "full of assorted ambitions." Where Fate led him through the commands of imper¬ ious English dignitaries to spur the Arabs against Turkey makes a boldlv stirring tale. Side by side with Feisal, the somber Arab chieftain, Lawrence plodded through burning deserts, heed¬ less of his filth-festered wounds and everywhere weakening the Turks to¬ ward surrender. Lawrence is essentially an artist, mind and soul. In the midst of spec¬ tacular attacks, retreats, guerilla skirm¬ ishes, and interminable marches, he speaks in a rich, high-colored, and lofty style that never lapses into plain¬ ness. That which torments him cease¬ lessly is his loathing of the bloodv task to which he must devote himself, and throughout he reveals the struggles of his own soul in passages of poignant beauty. The greatness of the man Lawrence, fitfully revealed, yet still shrouded in mystery, and the charm of his man¬ ner of telling make Seven Pillars of Wisdom destined to live on as a book of the age. Vachel Lindsay. ,4 Poet in America —Edgar Lee Masters. A genius writes of a fellow-genius, unfolding with infinite sympathy and appreciation the story of a life obscured by poverty and lack of recognition. He "kept the heart of a little child, and has written the purest American poetry since Poe." The greatness of Lindsay's dream and his lack of strength and opportunity to carry it into reality brought on the tragedy of his self-inflicted end. Summer Time Ends—John Har¬ grove. Summer Time Ends is an English- type novel that brings out the various classes very clearly and seems to pre¬ pare a bird's-eye view of the back¬ ground of the next great European war. Its forward look "is like the ex¬ perience of reading tomorrow morn¬ ing's newspaper at nine o'clock to¬ night." Gilbert and Sullivan—Hesketh Pear¬ son. Gilbert and Sullivan are mentioned together because to separate them would be to shatter the marriage of tal¬ ents that have brought tears of laugh¬ ter to the eyes of the world. It was second nature to the hearty Gilbert to reel out the pithiest of witticisms and puns, drawing from the whimsical Irish dreamer Sullivan the lilting music of the world's best-known light operas. This story brings out these two dis¬ similar natures in amusing and clever contrast. Pole Star—Stewart Edward White. Mr. White has written a vigorous ro¬ mance of the Russian fur traders in Alaska of the early nineteenth century. The spirit of that "short-lived but greatly conceived empire" is centered in the character of Alexander Baranov, the Czar's manager of the Russian Fur Company. The enrollment at P. C. this fall is the largest in the history of the college. The same is true of Washing¬ ton and Lee. Seven pairs of twins have been enrolled at Florida State. The resolution which the Oxford Union drew up two years ago is of particular interest now. It has been reverberating in the colleges of the western world. The latest echo comes out of McGill University at Montreal, where a group of students voted 2,23 3 to 83 against support of their govern¬ ment in any war it might attempt.— The Blue Stocking. Four women are enrolled in the coaching school at Butler University, trying eagerly to master the manly art of football coaching. The first Chinese Sorority in the United States has recently been found¬ ed at the University of Michigan.

Massachusetts State College recently conducted an investigation to see what proportion of students come from homes of college graduates. It was found that 70 per cent of the fathers had had no college education, and only half of those had finished high school. Only 19 per cent were college gradu¬ ates.—Crimson Rambler. The following postscript was found in a blue book at Maryland University: "Dear Professor, If you sell any of these answers to the humor magazine, re¬ member I want my cut." Bones of a prehistoric Indian child were found under the U. K. football field last summer. Perhaps Agnes Scott will unearth some such relics when the foundations for the new library are begun. Sometimes a child will develop a phobia or fear indirectly. A case in point was that of a child who feared rabbits, with which it had played for years, after being startled during such play by the beating of a gong. Another case was that of a boy who grew to manhood with an intense fear of con¬ fined spaces because, when very young, he had been frightened by a dog in a narrow passage.—Colliers. More than 90 per cent of the popu¬ lation of the world and 5 0 per cent of the people of the United States do not have running water in their homes and still use wells, springs, lakes, rivers or fountains.—Colliers.

In the seventeenth century lace be¬ came highly popular among gentlemen, particularly those in royal and aristo¬ cratic circles. The peak of this fash¬ ion was probably reached by King Charles I of England (1600-1649) who had even his night clothes trim¬ med with 1,800 feet of fancy lace ruffles.—Colliers.

WORK TO BEGIN ON NEW LIBRARY (Coii/imteii from page 1, column 5) The furnishings of the entire room will be more or less informal, and it is plan¬ ned as an inviting place for required and cultural reading. Also on the first floor, back of the charge desk, will be the work rooms, the librarian's office, and open reserve shelves. The ground floor will contain a reading room of the same size as the main reading room, and will be fur¬ nished with formal tables and chairs. This floor also will contain receiving and storage space, janitors' work rooms, and machinery rooms for the elevator and ventilating systems. All of the windows on the ground floor will be above ground level. On the second floor will be three seminars, a typing room in which stu¬ dents may use their own typewriters, a staff lounge, and a projection room for lantern slides and film books. Six-tiered stacks will be built in the internal angle of the building. Each floor will shelve twenty thousand books, with a total stack capacity of one hundred and twenty thousand vol¬ umes. About half of the stacks will be completed this year, but all the floors will be installed. The outdoor reading terrace will be placed at the southeast corner of the building. A stairway will go down to it from the main reading room. There will be no outside exit. The terrace will be controlled from the main reading room. The building will be about one hun¬ dred and fifty feet long, by one hun¬ dred feet. There will be elevators for books, and passenger elevators in the stacks. A ventilating system will be in¬ stalled, and facilities for artificial and natural lighting have been carefully planned. Noise-absorbing materials will be used throughout the building.

XXI AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1935 NO. 3 Halliburton Will Lecture In Atlanta Public to Hear Again Speaker Who Appeared on Lecture Series at A. S. C. Richard Halliburton, the inimitable lecturer, will appear in his latest lec¬ ture, "Seven League Boots," at the Wesley Memorial Auditorium on Thursday, October 24, at 8:30 P.M. This will be the first appearance of Mr. Halliburton in this section since he was brought to Agnes Scott by the Lecture Association some years ago. He is known as the author of The Royal Road to Romance, The Glorious Ad¬ venture, New Worlds to Conquer, and The Flying Carpet. Mr. Halliburton comes with first¬ hand information about the Italian- Ethiopian situation. As the guest of Haile Selassie, king of Ethiopia, he was allowed to observe at close range the progress of the political condition in that country. He spent two months in this marvelous and romantic land and has returned with startling conclusions and accurate facts. TAKES ELEPHANT TRIP He secured the first eye-witness story of the assassination of Czar Nich¬ olas and his family, how the entire fam¬ ily was killed, their bodies disposed of, and every trace of the murders care¬ fully concealed. This confession was made to Mr. Halliburton by the Bol¬ shevik who did the killing as he lay at death's door. As a result of obtain¬ ing this confession, Mr. Halliburton was asked by the Russian authorities to leave the country. It has been a long time since a more thrilling and terrible and authentic story has come to the American lecture platform. In the tracks of Hannibal, Mr. Hal¬ liburton rode his famous elephant over the Alps via the great St. Bernard Pass and one hundred miles into Italy in or¬ der to relive the celebrated Carthagenian's elephant march on Rome. All over Europe, this dramatic exploit caused May Day Scenarios Due in November The annual contest conducted by the May Day committee for a scenario ap¬ propriate for the May Day festival will close in the latter part of November when all scenarios are to be turned in to the committee. Last year Alice Chamlee and Jane Blick wrote the win¬ ning scenario, which was based on Feter Pan. Eloisa Alexander is the May Day chairman, and Jane Blick, the busi¬ ness manager. Their committee in¬ cludes the following: scenario, Anne Thompson and Charline Fleece; cos' ume, Sarah Nichols, Frances Steele, Kathleen Daniel, and Sarah Turner; dance, Helen Ford, Ruth Tate, and Lucile Dennison; properties, Fannie B. Harris; poster, Jane Wyatt; publicity, Alice Chamlee. The May Day festival takes place on the first Saturday in every May. The dell at the left of the hockey field is the scene. Colorful dances are fea¬ tures of the pageant, which is presided over by the queen and her court. More exact details of the scenario contest will be announced at a later date. Agonistic Names Nine Reporters Following the judging of articles submitted on Saturday, October 12, the following girls have been named mem^ bers of the reporter staff of The Ago¬ nistic: Alice Cheeseman, Giddy Erwin, Mamie Lee Ratliff, Mildred Davis, Carol Hale, Douglas Lyle, Mary Frances Guthrie, Mary Willis, Selma Steinbach, and Nell Hemphill. Each article was judged on a basis of the subject matter, the lead, and the general treatment of the story in re¬ gard to detail of structure. Lulu Ames, editor, and Laura Steele and Frances Gary, assistant editors judged the reporter try-outs as well as those for Giddy Gossip. No decision has been reached yet about the latter.

Robert Frost Uses Realism In Numerous Poems on Trees By Sarah Catherine Wood Robert Frost is a poet who finds the chief source of his inspiration in na¬ ture. While, of course, he deals with people a great deal, even these seem to have their roots fixed firmly in that New England soil to which he always turns for the sources of his poetry. Predominant among the aspects of nature of which Frost writes are the trees. The picture of the New England landscape which he paints so accurate¬ ly and so vividly seems dominated by these trees. Other details are present, such as the snow, the brooks and pools, and the piles of stones, but there is almost always in the picture a tree which overshadows these other details. Thus, if the poems are not actually about trees as in "Christmas Trees," "The Sound of the Trees," "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening," "Tree At My Window," and many others, there is a background of them present as in "Ghost House," "The Hill Life," and "Spring Pools." Through these poems we are able to formulate a very definite idea of the kinds of trees which dot the New Eng¬ land hillsides. There are the evergreens, the "straighter, darker trees" the "young fir balsams like a place Where houses all are churches and have spires," dealt with so lovingly in the poem "Christmas Trees," or the hemlocks in "Dust of Snow:" "The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree." There are the maples with their many moods: "It was the tree the autumn fire ran ran through And swept of leathern leaves, but left the bark Unscorchcd, unblackened, even, by any smoke, They always took their holidays in autumn." There are the birches in the poem "Wild Grapes:" "Wearing a thin head-dress of pointed leaves, And heavy on her heavy hair behind. Against her neck, an ornament of grapes—" or as they appear in "The Birches:" "When 1 see birches bend to left and right Across the line of straighter darker trees—" The delicacy of the wild apple tree is given in the poem "A Winter Eden:" "Some wild apple tree's young tender bark—" The contention may be made that all (Continued on page 5, column 4) Meyer Gives Gay Account Of A.P. Work Mr. Ben F. Meyer, state news editor of the Associated Press, spoke at The Agonistic chapel on Friday morning, October 11. He gave an interesting and amusing account of his adventures as an Associated Press writer, and spoke of the excellent training in journalism offered by modern high schools and colleges. In speaking of journalism as a career, he advised work on school papers for practical experience and knowledge, adding that it is amazing with how much of the mechanics and technicali¬ ties of a newspaper some students are acquainted. Mr. Meyer's experience in the news¬ paper field is colored with such inci¬ dents as interviewing President Roose¬ velt, and covering the story of the Mississippi flood, which included rescu¬ ing people and then being rescued him¬ self. Mr. Meyer has been connected with the Associated Press in Atlanta for the past nine years. He came here from Texas where he did his college work at Baylor University, in Waco. Mr. Meyer is the first in the series of speakers that The Agonistic will bring to the campus this year. Mr. W. F. Caldwell, southeastern editor of As¬ sociated Press, who was to have spoken, was called to Chicago on Thursday to an Associated Press meeting; he sent Mr. Meyer in his place. Mr. Caldwell will speak on The Agonistic pro¬ gram, however, later in the year. Four to Receive Agonistic Award On December 13 As recognition for their service, four students who have done unusual work on The Agonistic will receive the Agonistic Key at a special chapel program on Friday, December 13. The Agonistic Key is a new honorary or¬ ganization, created for the purpose of encouraging a finer type of journal¬ ism on the campus and for giving credit to those persons who do out¬ standing work on the editorial or busi¬ ness side of The Agonistic. Eight members will be elected a year, four in December and four in the spring. The emblem of this society is to be a gold A with a key running through the center; at the corners of the bar on the A are a small S and C. All those who are elected shall have merited two-thirds of their academic work for the semester preceding; in the case of freshmen, they shall have merit¬ ed two-thirds of their work for the pre¬ ceding six weeks. Girls who are elect¬ ed must also be active participants in at least one other campus organization. Girls working on the business side of the paper will be judged by their work on all the issues of the paper for this year; reporters and members of the edi¬ torial side will be judged for their work on four editions of The Agonistic, beginning with the one on October 23, which will be published next Wednes¬ day. CORRECTION The Agonistic sincerely re¬ grets the error made last week in reporting the amount pledged on the first day of the Benevolent Budget drive. The correct amount was $1,064. The Budget required $1,274; the full amount was promised by the end of the drive on October 8, Isabel Mc¬ Cain, Y. W. treasurer, said. Underclassmen Vote For Stunt Judges Going from practices masked in se¬ crecy to pep meetings reverberating with cheers, the sophomores and fresh¬ men are preparing for their annual contest of wits, which will take place at 8:30 on Saturday evening, October 19, in the Bucher Scott Gymnasium. Ann Worthy Johnson and Anna Mar¬ garet Riepma are the sophomore and freshman Black Cat stunt chairmen. The judges who will decide to whom the coveted Black Cat belongs will be Miss Carrie Lou Scandrett, assistant dean; Professor Philip Davidson, of the history department; and Miss Bee Mil¬ ler, biology assistant. They were elect¬ ed at class meetings held in the chapel on Thursday, October 10. It is the custom for each class to elect one judge apiece, and for the combined classes to elect a judge. Miss Scandrett was chosen by the freshmen, Mr. Da¬ vidson by the sophomores, and Miss Miller by the freshmen and sopho¬ mores. The following have leads in the sophomore stunt: Gene Caldwell, Anne Taylor, Kennon Henderson, Anne Wheaton, Kitty Hoffman, Anna Katherine Fulton, Jeanne Mathews, and Frances Norman. Others in the cast in¬ clude Anne Howell, Mary Lillian Fair¬ ly, Jane Turner, Martha Peek Brown, Ellen McCallie, Sue Bryan, Ola Kelley, Laura Coit, Hibernia Hassell, Betty Anderson, Giddy Erwin, Alice Reins, Lulu Croft, Lillian Croft, Peggy Ware, Joyce Roper, Nell Allison, Anne Thompson, Anne Cullum, Betty Ad¬ ams, and Kay Ricks. Those taking part in the freshman stunt are: Mary Simonton, Mary Guth¬ rie, Barbara Cassat, Mary Moss, Flor¬ ence Wade, Jeanne Flynt, Catherine Moore, Catherine Ivie, Kay Kennedy, Jane Moore Hamilton, Jane Carithers, and Helen Moses. Members of the choruses are: Harriette Von Gremp, Vera Marsh, Eliza¬ beth Furlow, Mary Workman, Char¬ lotte French, Catherine Ivie, Estelle Cuddy, Virginia Kyle, Mary Ellen Whetsell, Mary Eleanor Steele, Lucy Doty, and Mamie Lee Ratliff. Blackfriars Will Give Milne Plav Blackfriars will present Mr. Pint Passes By, the clever and amusing play by A. A. Milne, on November 22 and 23. The play will be directed by Miss Frances Gooch, head of the Spoken English department. Mr. Irvin McKoy of Atlanta is to play Mr. Pirn, but as yet the rest of the cast has not been chosen. Tryouts are to begin next week, so that work on the play may be started as soon as possible. The cast is small, including seven people—four women and three men. The scene of Mr. Pirn Passes By is the typical English country house, a small distance from London, in the present day. The action is brought on by a careless remark which Mr. Pirn lets fall in the beginning of the play. Mrs. Marden, the ravishing widow who has married again on her first husband's supposed death, is e'ectrified to hear Mr. Pirn say casually that he had had a recent shipmate named Telworthy. At the name of her first husband, Mrs. Marden and her present husband are thrown into the most painful con¬ fusion. Is she Mrs. Marden or Mrs. Telworthy? Mr. Pirn the innocent, having thrown his bomb, disappears. After endless complications, he naivelv con¬ fesses that the name could not have been Telworthy after all, bringing the play to a startlingly clever climax. , A.S.C. Sends Four to Press Convention Ames, Chamlee, Christian. Jones To Represent Publications In Chicago. Lulu Ames, editor, and Alice Cham¬ lee, business manager of The Agonis¬ tic, Shirley Christian, editor and Sarah Jones, business manager of the Silhou¬ ette, will represent Agnes Scott Col¬ lege at the national convention of the Associated Collegiate Press in Chicago, October 17-19. Sarah, Shirley, and Alice drove through the country with Miss Helen Morgan, of Atlanta; they left yesterday afternoon. Lulu left this morning by train. There will be 276 delegates representing 119 publications at the convention, which was attended last year by 104 colleges from 3 3 states. This is the first year Agnes Scott has sent delegates to this conven¬ tion although both the publications have long been members of the organi¬ zation. ABLE MEN TO APPEAR Among the prominent speakers will be Leland Stowe, Paris correspondent of the New York Herald Tribune and winner of the Pulitzer prize for the best example of foreign correspondence in 1930; and Carrol Binder, distin¬ guished foreign expert of the Chicago Daily Netvs, who has represented his paper in Rome, Moscow, London, and Latin America. Mr. Stowe will discuss "The Euro¬ pean vs. the American Press" and Mr. Binder will speak on "News of the World." Others on the program include Harry B. Rutledge, managing director. National Editorial Association; Curtis D. MacDougall, editor, Evanston News Index, and lecturer in journalism at Northwestern; Grant F. Olson, adver¬ tising manager of Sheaffer Pen Co.; Chet Oehler, Lord and Thomas Adver¬ tising Agency; Carroll Geddes, grad¬ uate manager of publications at Min¬ nesota; and Gerhard Becker and Fred Noer, manager and editor, respectively, of Collegiate Digest. While in Chicago the delegates will stay at the Medinah Club. They will return to Decatur on Sunday, October 20. 300 From A.S.C. To Hear Kreisler Fritz Kreisler, world-famous violin¬ ist, will appear as the first artist in the Atlanta Ail-Star Concert Series when he plays on Tuesday evening, October 22, at the Fox Theater. Approximately 3 00 Agnes Scott College students will attend. Atlanta audiences already know and appreciate Mr. Kreisler, who was re¬ ceived with unusual enthusiasm by music lovers when he appeared here before on the Concert Series. His ren¬ dition of his own compositions proved especially popular. As in past years, special street-cars have been obtained for the boarding students who are going to the concert. They are asked to be at the underpass in front of the College before 7:15, since the cars will leave promptly at that time. There will probably be three cars available to carry the girls all the way to the Fox and back. The fare will be 5c for the trip in and 10c for the one back. After the concert is over, it has been requested that the Agnes Scott students wait in the front lobby until the cars arrive. Students are also requested to sign out early Tuesday in order to avoid confusion. The Agonistic ®l)e nistic Subscription price, Sl.25 per year in advance. Single copies, 5 c.

A Key to Current History What Has Gone Before By Margaret Watson In the fifteen years since its found¬ ing the League of Nations has never attempted to bring full pressure to bear against any Great Power. It was feared that the League could not do this: but in the present Italo-Ethiopian crisis her covenant is being upheld by her most powerful member, Great Britain, and it seems possible for the League to exercise its stated power to invoke sanctions against an unpro¬ voked, aggressive nation. When Italy and Ethiopia submitted reports to the League early in the sum¬ mer, an arbitration committee was ap¬ pointed, being composed of two Ital¬ ians and two white Ethiopians with Dr. Niccolas Politis of Greece as chair¬ man. The first week of September this commission agreed unanimously in its report that in the encounter at Ualual (the specific "causi belli" mentioned by both nations), where 32 Italians and 107 Ethiopians were killed, neither side was to blame. It failed to decide whether Ualual was in Ethiopia or in Italian Somaliland. Following that report the Italian case was presented to the League As; embly by Baron Pompeo Aloisi. He spoke of some revolting Ethiopian prac¬ tices which are still sanctioned by sav¬ age customs and of the prevalence of slavery despite edicts against it. "Such a country," declared the Baron, "is un¬ fit to belong to the League of Nations." Ethiopia's case was presented by the French Law Professor Gaston Jeze, who said that since neither side was to blame for the Ualual incident no cause for war exists. He continued, "In France we have a proverb, 'When a man wants to drown his dog, he first says it is mad.' Italy, having desired to conquer Ethiopia, begins by calling Ethiopia mad." The League then appointed a Com¬ mittee of Five to draft a proposal for settlement. The committee had as chairman Salvador de Madariaga, of Spain, and as members Premier Labal, (Continued on page 5, column 1) Alumnae News Ida Lois McDaniel, '3 5, is giving a series of classes in Spoken English at the Pro-Cathedral of Saint Philip.

Golden Apples, likens the Florida setting of the book to the Wessex country of Hardy's works. Both, he explains, have the "spiritual environment," unlike any other part of the world. Through the story—a simple one—of two orphans trying to raise oranges on the Florida scrub land, the author gives a new beauty and understanding to the life of the despised Cracker. The Lees of Virginia—Biography of a Family, Burton M. Hendrick. This is the biography of not one brilliant man, but of six—all sons of the famous Thomas Lee. Richard Hen¬ ry and Francis Lightfoot Lee signed the Declaration of Independence; William and Arthur Lee were prominent diplo¬ mats in the American Revolution; and the youngest, Arthur Lee, whose life is the most emphasized, is also noted for his negotiations in Europ>e. Mr. Hen¬ drick also emphasizes the Lees of "Stratford" rather than the "Leesylvania" branch. Europa—Robert Briffault. Society with a capital letter is the theme of Mr. Briffault's "panorama of European society." He writes of Europe from the days following the World War to the year 1914. No less remark¬ able than the undertaking of such a task is the success with which Europa has met. It holds the place of the third most popular book on the nation's fiction list. Red Sky in the Morning—Robert P. Tristam Coffin. Hamlet, as a Maine fisherman, is a rather difficult characterization to real¬ ize. Yet Mr. Coffin throughout his novel, compares the hero, with his trou¬ bles and sorrows, to Hamlet. Basil Davenport calls the book "a poet's novel" and speaks of the characters as having no more analysis than one might expect of a Ivric. If Memory Si'rves—Sacha Guitry. If Memory Serves is not so much an autobiography as an unraveling of one of the most interesting peronalities in France. Sacha Guitry, well known playwright and actor, writes of his amazing life with humor and reserve. Kidnaped by his own father, spending his childhood on the Russian stage, writing plays by the week—one act a day—all these facts and many others he records in this account of his career. Mr. Guitry's most well-known play is Pasteur. (Continued on page 4, column 1) If you like to be staggered here are some figures that should do the trick for you.

Lest any one take undue credit to himself for racial superiority in fore¬ head height, Dr. Hrdlicka makes it clear that this measurement has noth¬ ing to do with intellectuality. He meas¬ ured four groups: old Americans at large, representing the "average citi¬ zen" of native stock; Tennessee highlanders, a group much retarded educationately; old American members of the National Academy of Sciences, and academy members without regard to race. The latter two groups, of course, may be presumed to be the very cream of American intellectual life. Their foreheads were all of almost exactly the same average height. There wasn't a twelfth of an inch difference in the forehead heights of the four groups, and the averages for the Old American in the Academy and Old Americans from the Tennessee moun¬ tains were precisely the same!—Science. "To see what the effect would be," James ("Jimmie") Donahue, Woolworth 5 and 10c heir, cousin of Countess Barabara Hutton Haugwitz, stepped onto a balcony of his Rome hotel, shouted "Viva Ethiopia," squirt¬ ed a syphon of soda water at a group of young Fascists.

BOOK NOTES (Continued from page 2, column 4) Dwight Morrow—Harold Nicolson. At the beginning of this biography Harold Nicolson writes: "What renders Dwight Morrow so fascinating a sub¬ ject for biography is that in the varied and rapid expansion of his career, he developed a new type of civilized mind." And it is this "civilized mind" of the Pennsylvanian lawyer, New York financier, and United States Am¬ bassador to Mexico, that the author portrays in his biography. Mr. Nicol¬ son pays a high tribute to Dwight Morrow, in saying, "He is a model for the completely civilized man." NEXT WEEK A special review of Anne Morrow Lindberg's, "North Through the Orient."

Students, Faculty Discuss Black Cat Whether the Black Cat has grown too young for Agnes Scott, or whether Agnes Scott has grown too old for the Black Cat, has been a matter of much interest on the campus in the last few weeks. Students are almost universally in favor of the stunt. Ruby Hutton, vice- president of Y. W. C. A., believes that the contest binds classes together, es¬ pecially the freshman class, giving many students opportunities to show their talent and sense of responsibility. Frances Gary, a junior, also believes that the stunt promotes cooperation between classes. She thinks that the up¬ per classes are bery little benefited but that the freshmen and sophomores get a gleat deal of enjoyment out of it. Lita Goss, editor of the Aurora, feels that while the stunt is a good thing generally speaking, there is far too much stress laid on it both in time and preparation. According to Sarah Sbencer, also, president of Y. W. C. A., the stunt is very hard on lessons. "But," she adds, "fun comes with the stunt that would not come in any other way." Miss Alberta Palmour, '3 5, field sec retary of the Alumnae Association, of fers the opinion that working on the stunt not only brings out ingenuity and wit that should be recognized, but also gives a great deal of pleasure. Faculty members appear to be rather less sure of the advantages of the Black Cat stunt, although some are in favor of it. Mr. S. G. Stukes, registrar, does not believ that Agnes Scott has outgrown the stunt. However, he states, it has become too elaborate and important. The first stunts ever given by Agnes Scott students were much simpler and more extemporaneous than the present performances, taking a great deal less time and expense. Mr. Stukes believes that the spirit of rivalry has gradually expanded the idea too much: there is always a group in each class whose aca¬ demic work suffers because of stunt ac¬ tivity. Miss Carrie Scandrett, assistant dean, favors the stunt as long as it is kept subordinate to scholastic work. It is a necessary group function for the fresh¬ men, but nevertheless has more disad¬ vantages than advantages unless held in its proper place. She has noticed that this year the stunt has been better planned and has caused less confusion than on many other occasions. Other faculty members think that Agnes Scott has outgrown the Black Cat stunt. According to Assistant Pro¬ fessor Leslie Gaylord, of the mathemat¬ ics department, too much time is spent in preparation and there is too much strain on the freshfen at the start of their college work. Dr. Mary F. Sweet believes that some other occasion should be substi¬ tuted for the stunt. The tension of preparation tires some of the leaders more than is wise, and some simpler performance would be an improvement. The original stunt was much less tax¬ ing to the performers, and yet gave as much pleasure, she says. "However," finishes Dr. Sweet, "it is up to the stu¬ dents; let them choose for themselves whether they prefer the stunt or some substitute."

XXI Committee Offers Varied Ideas For May Day Scenario The annual contest for a May Day scenario begins tomorrow, October 31, and will continue through December 2, when all entries must have been sub¬ mitted to the May Day Committee. Since the May Day festival, which takes place on the first Saturday every May, is a colorful and attractive fea¬ ture of the College program, the writ¬ ing of the scenario is necessarily impor¬ tant. The committee has posted on the bulletin board outside the library sev¬ eral suggestions for the theme of the scenario. They include a gypsy idea, such as The Bohemian Girl; an Indian idea; Ri[) Van Winkle; a German fes¬ tival; Robin Hood; Hansel and Grctel; a fairy tale, such as Snow-Drop or Cin¬ derella; an English fair; and an histori¬ cal one. Any subject may be used, and the student may refer for help to the May Day files in the Athletic Board room on the second floor of Bucher Scott Gymnasium. Scenarios are to be turned in to any member of the committee, of which Eloisa Alexander is chairman and Jane Blick, business manager. The remain¬ der of the committee is composed of Anne Thompson and Charline Fleece, scenario; Sarah Nichols, Frances Steele, Kathleen Daniel, and Sarah Turner, costume; Helen Ford, Ruth Tate, and Lucile Dennison, dance; Fannie B. Har¬ ris, properties; Jane Wyatt, poster; and Alice Chamlee, publicity. Several girls may write the scenario together. Last year Jane Blick and Alice Chamlee wrote the winning scenario, based on Peter Pan. BUY YOUR FROST TICKET A.S.C. Will Observe Armistice Silence Joining with all other college mem¬ bers of the National Student Federa¬ tion of America, Agnes Scott College will observe two minutes of silence at 11 o'clock on Armistice Day, Novem¬ ber 11. The imminent threat of an¬ other World War is the immediate rea¬ son for dedicating two minutes tribute to those sacrificed in the last World War. Students will remain in their classrooms during this period, which will begin when a bell rings at 11 o'clock and will end when Loice Rich¬ ards plays taps from the quadrangle. Dr. J. R. McCain, president of Ag¬ nes Scott College, has requested that the faculty and students cooperate in this matter. Student organizations in¬ dorsing this observance at Agnes Scott are Thf.

McCAIN RETURNS FROM BATON ROUGE ON S. A. C. TRIP Dr. J. R. McCain, president of Ag¬ nes Scott College, spent several days last week in Baton Rouge, La., work¬ ing on a committee investigation of political control of the state educa¬ tional institutions of Louisiana. The committee, of which Dr. McCain is chairman, was appointed at the last meeting of the Southern Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. The chief purpose of this examination was to observe the effects of the death of the late Senator Huey P. Long on the educational situation in Louisiana and to investigate particularly the control of the Louisiana State University and Normal College. The committee will make its report at the meeting of the Southern Associa¬ tion, to be held sometime in December in Louisville, Ky. AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1935 Bids for Library Will Open Today Bids for the new Agnes Scott Col¬ lege library opened today at 2 o'clock, and it is assumed that the contract will be let immediately. The construction of the library is made possible by the $450,000 pledged in the Greater Agnes Scott Campaign which ended last July first. The library will be located between Buttrick Hall and Bucher Scott Gym¬ nasium, on the former site of West- lawn. It will be an L-shaped building, set back about 30 feet from the back campus drive, with its main entrance at the northwest corner of the build¬ ing, near Buttrick. In the front will be a sunken lawn, and in the back, an outdoor reading terrace. The architecture is to be Gothic in style, and will resemble that of But¬ trick Hall. It will be called Carnegie Hall. BUY YOUR FROST TICKET Second Concert To Be Orchestra As the second feature on its pro¬ gram, the All-Star Concert Series will bring to Atlanta the National Sym¬ phony Orchestra, of Washington, D. C., and its famous conductor, Dr. Hans Kindler. They will appear on Wednes¬ day evening, November 13, at the Fox Theater. The National Symphony Orchestra, one of America's major symphony or¬ chestras, will be heard for the first time in Atlanta. Conducted by Dr. Hans Kindler, a man of unusual musi¬ cal ability, this organization has won within five seasons recognition as one of the leading orchestras of the coun¬ try. Dr. Kindler, who undertook the task of developing this symphonic or¬ ganization of his own, formerly has made appearances as a guest conductor with the New York Philharmonic, Phil¬ adelphia Symphony, Paris, Vienna, and other European orchestras. Fritz Kreisler, noted violinist, opened the All-Star Concert Series Tuesday evening, October 22. More than 300 Agnes Scott College students were pres¬ ent. 102 to Receive Caps From Dean At Investiture One hundred and two seniors, the largest group to be invested in the his¬ tory of Agnes Scott, will be invested at the traditional ceremony in Gaines Chapel on Saturday morning, Novem¬ ber 2. Miss Carrie Scandrett, assistant dean of Agnes Scott College, and an adviser of the senior class, will deliver the ad¬ dress. Dean Nannette Hopkins will per¬ form the capping ritual. The investiture service, unique to Agnes Scott, recognizes the members of the senior class as a group, wearing for the first time the academic caps and gowns. As each senior receives her cap from Miss Hopkins, she is invested with the dignity and responsibilities of seniorhood. The impressive service is one of the most revered traditions of Agnes Scott College. The ceremony begins with a proces¬ sion of the sophomores dressed in white and the seniors, wearing academic robes. The senior class mascot, Master Henry Robinsn, son of Professor Henry Robinson, of the mathematics depart¬ ment of the College, will head the pro¬ cession. Parents and friends of many of the seniors, and a large number of Alumnae are expected to be on the campus for investiture. BUY YOUR FROST TICKET A. S. C. To Take Part In B. S. U.

Agonistic Sponsors Ballot on Peace A Peace Ballot, sponsored by The Agonistic, will be mailed to all stu¬ dents and faculty members of Agnes Scott College tomorrow afternoon. The ballot, which is patterned on ones circulated in many American colleges last year, will attempt to discover the attitude of Agnes Scott toward the matter of war, and of peace. It is not necessary that the question¬ naires be signed; only the class stand¬ ing and, in the case of the faculty, the department should be indicated. It is hoped that from this information con¬ clusions as to trends may be deter¬ mined. Students and faculty alike are urged to answer the questions and to return the ballots to The Agonistic by Fri¬ day, November 8. The results of the poll will be carried in the Armistice Week edition of the paper, to be pub¬ lished on November 13. -BUY YOUR FROST TICKET— Blackfriars Has Milne Play Cast Try-outs for the parts in Mr. Pirn Passes By, the clever play by A. A. Milne, which Blackfriars is presenting November 22 and 23, have resulted in the following cast: Dinah Marden—Kitty Printup. Olivia Marden—Myrl Chafin. Lady Marden—Carrie Phinney Latimer, Virginia Turner. Anne, the maid—Carrie Phinney Latimer, Virginia Turner. Brian Strange—Luther Carroll. Mr. Pirn—Irvine McKoy. George Marden—Jimmie Jepson. The parts of Lady Marden and Anne are to be interchanged between Car¬ rie Phinney Latimer and Virginia Tur¬ ner in the two different performances of the play. Mr. Pirn Passes By was very suc¬ cessful in London on its first presenta¬ tion. It is interesting to note that the role of Brian Strange was first played by the well-known Leslie Howard. After the play's success in London, it was presented, seven or eight years ago, by the Theatre Guild in New York. The original English cast came over to play in these first American performances. Fine Reader; Greatest Living American Poet Is Ordinary Man By Mary Margaret Stowe Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant, in one of her series of portraits of contempora¬ ry Americans in The New Republic, gives some of Frost's definitions. She says of Robert Frost in the number for September 30, 1925: "Frost the shrewd, lounging rascal, has vanished behind the junipers. In his place I fancy I see an austere, hieratical figure, serving a rustic altar wth a ritual of his own making. And these are some of the ritualistic words: Imagery and after-imagery are about all there is to poetry. Synecdo¬ che and synecdoche—My motto is that some thing has to be left to God. In making a poem you have no right to think of anything but the subject matter. After making it, no right to boast of anything but the form. A poem must at least be as good as the prose it might have been. A poem is a box with a set or assortment of sentences that just fit together to fill it. You are rhyming sentences and phrases, not just words. They must go into it as unchanged in size and shape as the words. A straight crookedness is most to be {Continued on page 3, column 3) By Ruth Hertzka "Robert Frost is a simple and friend¬ ly person. He is not at all spectacular; he has no stage tricks. He is a person to whom one can talk easily." These are Associate Professor Elizabeth Jack¬ son's impressions of the well-known poet as he was several years ago. Miss Jackson met him at Russell Sage Col¬ lege in Troy, New York, where he spent a few days lecturing. At this time she not only had the opportunity of hearing him read but also had the pleasure of having several meals with him. Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, of the physical education department, heard Frost speak at the University of Michi¬ gan about ten years ago. She found that she enjoyed him more as he con¬ tinued his lecture, and was so impressed by his reading and interpretation of his works that she still remembers the con¬ tents of the poems he read that eve¬ ning. Since the home of Assistant Profes¬ sor Melissa A. Cilley, of the Spanish department, is in New Hampshire, she is well acquainted with the country that Robert Frost writes about in his book, New Hampshire. She feels that in this book Frost gives an interesting {Continued on page 6, column 1) By Margaret Watson Appearance might not make the man, but to know what a man looks like certainly makes him more real and interesting to us. Especially is this true of the poet Robert Frost, who is to lecture here on November 7. Several authors have written vivid descrip¬ tions that give us a most interesting and contrasting "pen portrait" of Frost. In the section "Literary Spotlight" of the May 1923 Bookman, an un¬ named writer has this description of the poet: "Frost's body, which is sturdy and square, makes little impression on one who meets him for the first time. It is the eyes: bright blue, steady, gentle yet canny, two vivid lights in a face that is otherwise grey. There is the loose, coarse, now almost white hair, the full but finely cut lips, the nose that is a trifle too broad to allow the char¬ acterization "Greek" for the whole head, which is indeed a noble one. Physical movements are casual. In old age they may become soft and sham¬ bling. Loose clothes become the poet. If he were to wear a snappy cut suit, it would take on the appearance of {Continued on page 6, column 1) NO. 5 Gym to Celebrate Tenth Birthday With Open House The tenth anniversary of the build¬ ing of the Bucher Scott Gymnasium will be celebrated at Agnes Scott Col¬ lege on Friday, November 1, under the direction of the physical education de¬ partment. Members of the Athletic As¬ sociation board, members of the May Day committee, and student athletic instructors will assist the physical ed¬ ucation directors in sponsoring this cel¬ ebration. The physical education department will keep open house from 4 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon and from 7:30 to 9 o'clock at night. At 4 o'clock there will be a hockey game between the varsity and sub-varsity teams. Be¬ tween halves the senior team will award the hockey stick to the sophomore who has shown the most skill during the hockey season. Following the game tea will be served in the gymnasium. From 7:30 to 8 o'clock coffee will be served in the gymnasium, and im¬ mediately afterwards there will be an inter-class swimming meet. At this time the Swimming Club will make its first public appearance. Events of the meet will include a 40-yard dash free style; a 20-yard dash backstroke; back and front tandems for form; diving with sparklers; and a novelty relay. A picture showing the activities in athletics during the past ten years will be placed in the gymnasium for ob¬ servation. The college community, friends of the college, and guests and visitors for investiture are cordially in¬ vited to attend this celebration. BUY YOUR FROST TICKET A. P. A. Congress Meets in Atlanta The sixty-fifth annual congress of the American Prison Association, held in Atlanta October 27-31, was offi¬ cially opened Sunday afternoon by Dr. M. L. Brittain, president of the Geor¬ gia School of Technology, at a mass meeting in the Biltmore auditorium. This congress, which is the largest an¬ nual gathering of its kind, is the great yearly forum for the discussion of all problems relating to delinquency. The highlight of this opening session was a talk, "Humanizing Our Prisons", by Warden Lewis E. Lawes, Sing Sing Prison, Ossing, New York. At the general session on Monday, the Hon. Paul V. McNutt, governor of Indiana, addressed the convention on "The State and Probation". One of the most interesting features of this meeting was the reading of papers writ¬ ten by prison inmates, expressing their views on penal problems. The com¬ mittee on criminal law has offered prizes for the best papers. A formal reception was held Monday ight, following addresses by the Hon. Eugene Talmadge, governor of Geor¬ gia, and the Hon. James L. Key, mayor of Atlanta. Dr. J. R. McCain, presi¬ dent of Agnes Scott College, presided over the general session Tuesday eve¬ ning. The topic under discussion was "Revenge or Reform." The Hon. Homer S. Cummings, at¬ torney general of the United States, will be the main speaker at the formal ban¬ quet held tonight at the Biltmore Ho¬ tel. Music and dancing will follow. Special sightseeing trips to Grant Park and the Cyclorama, the Stone Mountain Memorial, and the city of Atlanta have been planned for the ladies attending the convention. The convention will close Thursday after¬ noon with a barbecue luncheon at the United States penitentiary honor farm.

McCain, on Friday morning, October 18, to hear something of the workings of the system which makes the scholarships possible. Dr. McCain explained that Agnes Scott College is especially fortunate in being able to receive help for seventy- five girls, since the maximum number of students which the government or¬ dinarily aids in a single college is fifty- seven. Agnes Scott is fortunate, too, in being able to advance the loans before the work is done, whereas in most other colleges this is not permitted. Every week each student is to submit an accurate written report of her work to the College administration office, from where it is to be sent to the N. Y. A. headquarters. Besides these weekly reports, Agnes Scott will send a monthly report to the national office. The N. Y. A. students are engaged in various kinds of work, including libra¬ ry and stenographic work and assisting in the language departments.

McCAIN, President Annual Announces Snapshot Contest; Will Close Dec. 7 The staff of the Silhouette, Agnes Scott College year book, is sponsoring this year for the first time a snapshot contest, which opened on November 7 and will end on December 9. This con¬ test is open to all students; cash prizes will be awarded to those submitting the two best pictures. All snapshots will be judged on the basis of general campus interest, orig¬ inality, and clearness. The first prize will be $3.50, the second prize, $1.5 0; a page in the annual will be devoted to all pictures receiving honorable men¬ tion. Barton Jackson, contest chair¬ man, has offered the following sugges¬ tions to those desiring to enter the contest: emphasis should be placed on groups rather than on an individual; indoor exposures, unposed "shots," and unusual backgrounds make the snap¬ shots interesting; the pictures must have local color and be characteristic of college life; and all snapshots must be taken on the campus this year.

The other groups varied in their attitudes, the sophomores being most in favor by a vote of 23% for. In general, the ballot brought peace¬ ful returns. The faculty, representing mature judgment on the matters, brought less variation from policies of peace than any of the others. Since only 23.3% of the college community voted, the chart and its percentages cannot accurately be taken as a gen¬ eral attitude on the campus. The Peace Ballot, sponsored by The Agonistic as part of its policy to pro¬ mote a campus attitude toward the matter of international peace and to stimulate interest in questions of im¬ portance outside college problems was composed of the following questions: 1. Would you be willing to support the United States in defensive war¬ fare? 2. If a nation insists upon attacking another, should other nations including the United States combine to stop it (a) by military or (b) by economic and non-military measures? 3. Are you in favor of protecting by force of arms property rights of United States citizens in foreign lands? A KEY TO CURRENT HISTORY (Continued from page 2, column 3) Cure of War. It dates from the spring of 1924 and has had for many years Carrie Chapman Catt as its enthusias¬ tic leader. Only organizations which were not considered guilty of pacifism were accepted as members of the com¬ mittee. In this respect and in many others this organization is more con¬ servative than the International League. The aims of the Committee on the Cause and Cure of War are: "(a) To establish round tables to set people thinking on peace aims of the Confer¬ ence; (b) to strengthen all peace or¬ ganizations; (c) to keep peace (and war) facts before the public." The American Peace Society, the American section of the International League, and the Committee on the Cause and Cure of War are only a few of the great number of the long established endowed peace societies. Since the World War the church has become conspicuous in its desire for peace. Judge Ulman, of Maryland, stated in a discussion several years ago that at least twenty-six Protestant de¬ nominations have been as closely lined up with the pacifist position as their governing bodies could permit them. Many state interdenominational meet¬ ings have proved themselves pacifist in sentiment. The ministers themselves have often adopted this position. In 1930 almost 20,000 of them replied to a questionnaire circulated by a publica¬ tion; and of this number sixty-two per cent voted that the church should not support any future war. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, pastor of the River¬ side Church of New York City, cre¬ ated much excitement last year when he apologized to the Unknown Soldier because he himself had "counseled sol¬ diers before they went over the top on the murderous and suicidal task." A great number of people look to the j church for the leadership in peace | movement in the future. The school has taken its customary place beside the church in its partici¬ pation in the American peace move¬ ment since the World War. Last April 12 a collegiate peace demonstration was held at many colleges in the United States. This student "strike" against international conflict was sponsored by the National Council of Methodist Youth, the Inter-Seminary Movement (Middle Atlantic Division), the Na¬ tional Student League for Industrial Democracy, the American Youth Con¬ gress, and the American League Against War and Fascism (Youth Sec¬ tion). This demonstration was a pro¬ test against "imperialist war," Fascism, and the R. O.T. C. Another movement thoroughly op¬ posed to war, yet varying in its make¬ up from most peace organizations, is that organization known as the Fel¬ lowship of Reconciliation. The Ameri¬ can branch of this movement, which began during the World War, is com¬ posed mainly of those who are opposed to the use of force under any circum¬ stances. The F. O.

Left wing political groups have tried to maintain a prominent position in the peace movement, but their efforts have not been very successful because they are so often confused with pohtics as such. The socialist stand for the pacifist ideal, which insists on parlia¬ mentary and non-violent methods, has lost prestige as a pacifist movement in recent years. When a Hitler strikes ir~\t~ rvzvtxrorLs^ ^ ^^.£. ——^ 'I "L. for power, what price pacifism." This condition afforded the Communists the opportunity to extend their ideas concerning pacifism. In 1933 the Com¬ munist party organized an American League against War and Fascism; but non-Communist bodies which had joined this movement in order to form a "united front" soon found that the "pacifism which the Communists were promoting was pacifism against 'impe¬ rialist' war" rather than the type of pacifism they had been led to expect. These left wing political groups have fallen short of their goal in their peace movements. Among such a varied list of organi¬ zations much inner confusion is bound to arise as to aims and purposes. The endowed peace societies, the peace movements in the church and in the school, the work of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, and the left wing polit¬ ical groups have all contributed their share in the peace movement, but their programs are too varied to accomplish very much as a collective group.

Get Contract For Stacks For $21,780, Snead and Company, of Jersey City, N. J., have contracted to build the bookstacks in the new Agnes Scott College library. Bids for the contract were let on Wednesday, November 6; the lowest base bid was $31,261, and the highest one, $34,865. Because of limited funds, however, the contract was closed at $21,780. Snead and Company, an internation¬ ally known firm, did the stack work in the Vatican Library at Rome, and, at the present time, are constructing stacks in the annex to the Congression¬ al Library in Washington. This stack job, having a $1,500,000 contract, is one of the largest that has ever been done. The stack room, which is the storage space for books, is located in the internal angle of the L-shaped building. The stacks, six tiers in height, will be of the Snead Steel Bracket type, with the open bar hinged bracket shelf, and the deck floors will be of the new Snead reinforced concrete flat slab type. The walking surface of the deck floors is to be covered with asphalt tile. At pres¬ ent only two tiers of the stacks are to be equipped with shelves and carrels. Advantage has been taken of light coming from the east and south win¬ dows to provide a row of study car¬ rels in the decks along the east and south walls. In each tier there will be twelve carrels, and in each carrel there will be a table of sheet steel, covered with a linoleum top, equipped with a drawer, and supported on brackets from the steel carrel partition. Above each work table there will be two adjustable shelves for the books in use by the oc¬ cupant of the carrel. Prof. Dieckmann's Pupils To Appear In Music Recital The pupils of Professor C. W. Dieckmann, of the music department of Agnes Scott College, will present a varied program of piano and organ numbers on Monday, November 2 5, at 8:00 P. M. in Gaines Chapel. This program, which is the first re¬ cital of the year, has as its features a contrast of classical and modern num¬ bers and a variation of organ, piano, and piano duo numbers.

Holiday Is Given On Roosevelt Day Following the Thanksgiving holiday of Thursday, November 2 8, a holiday on Friday, November 29, comes as a result of the faculty's consideration of the student petition for extension of time. The faculty decision was made in order that the students may hear President Roosevelt's address at Grant Field on November 29. No holiday planned for later in the year will be forfeited for this privilege. If This Be I (As I Suppose It Be) is the rather bewildering title of Mar¬ garet Deland's new book of childhood experiences. One amusing anecdote gives the whole flavor of the book. Maggie, the "enterprising enfant," (Margaret Deland at the age of five) proposed to a drummer boy on a street car sometime during the Civil War davs. The author describes herself as having said, "Sojer boy, will you marry me?" But it seems that the answer was never given, for Maggie's aunt, shocked at such "brazen feminism," quickly jerked her off the car.

Language Clubs Will Sing Carols One of the loveliest features of the Christmas season at Agnes Scott Col' ege will be the singing of carols by the French, German, and Spanish club members on Tuesday evening, Decem¬ ber 17. As is customary on the night before the Christmas holidays, the three groups of carolers will meet on the quadrangle at 9 P. M. and from there go to the various dormitories and fac¬ ulty homes on the campus, singing the familiar songs in the different lan¬ guages. The caroling usually lasts about an hour. Definite plans as to the selection of songs have not been made by the French and German clubs, but rehear¬ sals have already begun. The Spanish club plans to sing Belen, Los Reyes Magos, El Nino Jesus, and Noche de Paz. Sports On Tuesday, November 12, the Outing Club held its meeting in the Athletic Board room in the gymna¬ sium. Two members of the club, Ora Muse and Dean McKoin, instructed the class in camp craft. About twelve were present. Plans were made for en¬ tertaining the Appalachian Trail Club of Atlanta. The Swimming Club held its regular meeting Tuesday, November 12, at 3:30 P. M. After a short business meeting members of the club rehearsed a formation which they planned to pre¬ sent Tuesday night, November 19, at the Briarcliff indoor pool for the bene¬ fit of the Examiners' Club of Atlanta. All examiners and senior life savers are urged to attend these meetings every Tuesday night at the Briarcliff pool. These meetings are sponsored by the Atlanta chapter of the American Red Cross.

HAPPY GIVING THANKS ©I)e ^V^onistic HOLIDAYS VOL. XXI AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1935 NO. 9 Dr. McCain, Dr. Cox Confer With Groups in New York Officials Plan Investigation For Program to Develop Center of Learning Dr. J. R. McCain, president of Ag¬ nes Scott College, and Dr. Harvey Cox, president of Emory University, re¬ turned on Saturday from New York City where they conferred with the General Education Board, the Carne¬ gie Corporation, the Commonwealth Fund, and Harkness officials about the development of the proposed educa¬ tional center in Atlanta. All four groups expressed keen in¬ terest in the project; the Carnegie Cor¬ poration and the General Education Board will send representatives here soon to investigate the situation. In view of the fact that this was the first approach of these two institutions, Dr. McCain said that the results are most encouraging. It is impossible to tell yet, however, how the matter will turn out. Since next year is the centennial of Emory University, both Dr. McCain and Dr. Cox feel that this is the time for action on the coordination and ex¬ pansion of the two schools which was proposed first a year ago. Y.W.C.A. Speaker Ta 1ksonPeace Carrying out the Y. W. C. A. theme of Realizing Christ, Mr. Jack McMichael, of Emory University, spoke at chapel yesterday on what other stu¬ dents are doing towards peace. Be¬ fore the Christmas holidays, the Y. W. C. A. plans to bring to the Agnes Scott College campus two more speakers who will carry out the theme as related to world problems. On December 3, Rev. William M. Eliott, pastor of the Druid Hills Presbyterian Church, will discuss The Attitude of the Church Toward Peace. The last of these programs, on December 17, will present Dr. W. A. Smart of Emory, speaking on Christ, the Prince of Peace. During the fall, the Y. W. C. A. has brought to the campus several speakers whose subjects have dealt with the theme Realizing Christ personally, on the campus, and in the world. Among these have been Bishop H. J. Mikell, of the Atlanta Diocese; Rev. R. T. Gillespie, of Rock Springs Pres¬ byterian Church; Sara Lane Smith, Ag( Continucd on page 4, column 2) CHORUS SINGS FOR COMMUNITY CHEST AT ATHLETIC CLUB The special chorus of the Agnes Scott College Glee Club appeared on the program at a banquet given for the Atlanta Community Chest cam¬ paign workers at the Atlanta Athletic Club on Monday, November 18, at 6 P. M. Approximately 600 campaign solicitors attended the banquet, among whom was Mr. S. Guerry Stukes, reg¬ istrar of Agnes Scott, who is serving as chairman of the DeKalb County Chapter of the American Red Cross. The chorus, accompanied at the pi¬ ano by Alice Hannah, sang "Annie Laurie," "Italian Street Song," "Win¬ ter Wind," "Sweethearts," and "The Sleigh." The members of the chorus are: Jessie Query, Amelia Nickels, Shirley Christian, Evelyn Wall, Rosa Miller, Alice Chamlee, Nelle Chamlee, Virginia Wood, Sarah Jones, Virginia Kyle, Mary Alice Newton, Augusta King, Ruth Tate, Maxine Crisler, and Martha Young. Blackfriars Play Is Milne Comedy Of English Family Mr. Pim Passes By, by A. A. Milne, was presented by Blackfriars on Friday and Saturday evenings, November 22 and 23, in Bucher Scott Gymnasium to good houses. The play was under the direction of Miss Frances K. Gooch, of the spoken English department. The scene takes place in the drawing room of Marden House, in Bucking¬ hamshire. Dinah Marden (Kitty Print- up), niece of George Marden (Edgar Neely, Jr.), has forgotten her careful upbringing to the extent of wanting to marry Brian Strange (Luther Carroll), a young artist whose success is lim¬ ited to bright air castles. The young couple is nervous about telling Dinah's uncle, although Olivia Marden, his wife (Myrl Chafin), thinks they will be happy together. As they had feared, George Marden is in¬ dignant. Mr. Pim Passes At this point, Mr. Caraway Pim (Tom Wesley), appearing from no¬ where, casts a bomb that further wrecks the peace of the Mardens. He has recently met in his travels a cer¬ tain Telworthy: and George and Olivia believe that he is speaking of Olivia's former husband, supposedly dead. Thereupon, the elder Lady Marden (Carrie Phinney Larimer) repeats that she should make sure her husband was dead before she married again. Then Mr. Pim passes by again and in his uncertain, smiling manner, re¬ calls that the name of the mysterious traveler was certainly not Telworthy; and the curtain goes down on the joy¬ ful family whose happiness the passing of Mr. Pim has so nearly shattered. The part of Anne, the maid, and that of the elder Lady Marden were played by Carrie Phinney Latimer and Virginia Turner, president of Black¬ friars, respectively, on Friday night. On Saturday they exchanged roles. Community Chest Results Near $800 A contribution of $743.5 0 was the result of the ten days' Community Chest drive on the Agnes Scott Col¬ lege campus under the direction of As¬ sistant Professor Leslie Gaylord, of the mathematics department, and Miss Blanche Miller, instructor in the biol¬ ogy department. The campus campaign was begun on Tuesday, November 12, and was brought to a close on Friday, November 22. Members of the faculty and the ad¬ ministration were the only contribu¬ tors to the campus drive, no students having pledged. According to Miss Miller, some faculty members pledged with the Decatur teams to which they belong. These team contributions to¬ gether with those made on the cam¬ pus brought the total faculty contri¬ bution to approximately $800. There was no set goal, but this amount was considered to be an average one. Reports from the drive being made in Atlanta show that the returns are proving very successful, and the cam¬ paign solicitors expect to reach their goal of approximately $420,000. Mr. S. Guerry Stukes, registrar of Agnes Scott, is chairman of the DeKalb County Chapter of the American Red Cross. Alumnae Continue Texas Field Tour; To Return Dec. 14 Miss Alberta Palmour, field secre¬ tary for the Agnes Scott Alumnae As¬ sociation, and Miss Jacqueline Wool- folk, '3 5, who are now traveling in Texas in the interests of the College, will spend Thanksgiving and the rest of this week in Dallas, according to a letter received from Miss Palmour. She plans to contact the Hockaday School for Girls while she is in that city. Miss Palmour and Miss Woolfolk have visited in Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Waco, and Fort Worth so far. While they were in Austin, they were the guests of Miss Mary Ames, '34. From Dallas they will go to Shreveport, Louisiana, and Monroe; in Mon¬ roe they will visit with Dr. and Mrs. B. M. McKoin, parents of Dean Mc- Koin, '3 6. On December 4, they will be in Little Rock, Arkansas, with Frances McCalla, '3 5. They will continue their trip back to Decatur by way of Memphis, Ten¬ nessee; Clarksdale, Greenville, Vicksburg, and Meridian, Mississippi. In each of the towns visited, Miss Pal¬ mour will speak on Agnes Scott and show moving pictures of campus ac¬ tivities to members of the upper two high school classes. They plan to reach Decatur on December 14. Ames to Represent Agonistic in N. Y. At Editors' Meeting ' ••A Lulu Ames, editor of The~Xgonistic, will leave for New York City to¬ morrow morning to attend a Confer¬ ence of College Editors meeting there November 29-December 1. The Con¬ ference is being called by the National Student Federation of America. Dele¬ gates, who will probably number no more than thirty, will be housed at In¬ ternational House near Columbia Uni¬ versity; all meetings will be held at In¬ ternational House. Among the speakers at the Confer¬ ence will be Heywood Broun, Scripps- Howard columnist and president of the American Newspaper Guild; J. David Stern, publisher of the New York Post and several Pennsylvania papers; Fran¬ cis G. Smith, Jr., former editor of The Daily Princeton/an and president of the Association of College Editors; and James Wechsler, former editor of The Columbia Spectator and author of Re¬ volt on the Campus. The program, which will include discussion of such problems as editorial policies, function of college press, intercollegiate cooper¬ ation, features, and printing, has been arranged by Jane Whitbread, editor of the Vassar College Miscellany News; Roger Chase, editor of The Columbia Spectator; and David Schwartz, of the N. Y. U. Washington Square College Bulletin, among others. This is the first year that The Ago¬ nistic has sent a delegate to such a meeting although it has long been a member of NSFA. ATTENTION Davison-Paxon Co., of Atlanta, wishes to employ Agnes Scott students during the Christmas rush. Mrs. Latady, employment manager, began interviewing girls on Saturday, November 23. Work will begin on December 18. Unlike last year, students will not be excused from classes early in order to work. Many From A.S.C. To Hear Roosevelt Speak on Friday La Argentina Will Dance Here Dec. 3 On Concert Series La Argentina, the greatest living genius of the dance, follows the All- Star Concert Series' presentations of Fritz Kreisler and the National Sym¬ phony Orchestra with her appearance at the Fox Theater in Atlanta on Tues¬ day evening, December 3. The only dancer to appear on the Concert Se¬ ries of this season, she is expected to draw a large audience, including over 3 00 Agnes Scott College students. From triumphs in Europe, South America, and Mexico, La Argentina re¬ turns to America for her seventh tour. The Legion of Honor from France, and the Rosetta of Isabella, the first Order bestowed by the Spanish Republic, are the tributes to her dancing that she brings with her. The Atlanta audience will see La Argentina in a program of Spanish dances colored by gorgeous costumes and castanets. Madame Argentina returned to the Town Hall in December, 1934, to open her fifth New York season after an ab¬ sence of nearly three years. According to the New York Times of* that date, no other artist has been able to supply that peculiarly electric quality of ex¬ citement in an audience, nor to perme¬ ate a hall with such a glow of graciousness as did La Argentina. Yet under that engaging surface is an art of ex¬ quisite perfection, an art that conceals art. The outstanding Spanish dancer of today, comparable to none, La Argen¬ tina is the objective artist with a defi¬ nite point of view and a unity of style in all her creations. Since she always knows how to re-create her characters afresh at each performance, she is look¬ ed forward to with even more delight by those who have seen her than by those who have not. City Music Group Presents Quartet The Gordon String Quartet, one of the foremost chamber music organiza¬ tions of the country, and the second on this winter's series of concerts present¬ ed by the Atlanta Music Club, appears tonight at 8:30 in the Atlanta Wom¬ an's Club Auditorium. Tickets are on sale at Davison-Paxon's and at Rich's. Members of the Quartet are Jacques Gordon, first violin; David Sackson, second violin; Paul Robyn, viola; and Naoum Benditzky, cello. Their pro¬ gram tonight will include the entire Haydn Quartet in G minor, Opus 74, No. 3; the Quartet in D major, No. 2, by Borodin; and two movements of the Debussy Quartet in G Minor, Opus. In addition to the Gordon String Quartet, the Music Club offers this year the famous Vienna Choir Boys on January 22, and Myra Hess on Febru¬ ary 2 5. An integral part of cultural Atlanta, the Music Club has done much for the city in bringing famous artists here every year. In combination with the Atlanta Philharmonic Society, it has made possible the All-Star Concert Series, which this season is bringing La Argentina on December 3; Ruth Slenczynski, January 13; Nelson Eddy and Helen Jepson, February 8; and Grace Moore, March 19. Students Have Reserved Seats At Grant Field; College Has Holiday Participating in the Roosevelt Home¬ coming Day, a large part of Agnes Scott College's student body will hear President Franklin D. Roosevelt ad¬ dress the people of Georgia at one o'clock on Friday afternoon, November 29, at Grant Field in Atlanta. Agnes Scott has proclaimed a holi¬ day for Friday, as have the majority of Georgia schools and colleges. The State Education Committee on the Roosevelt Celebration is anxious to pro¬ vide tickets for reserved seats in Grant Field for Agnes Scott students. Those who wish to take advantage of this offer have been requested to sign up on the bulletin board in Buttrick Hall. Atlanta Decorated Before the main address at Grant Field, President Roosevelt will make a short talk to the school children at Piedmont Park at 12 o'clock noon. After riding through the city, he will go to Grant Field from where he may be heard by those outside the Georgia Tech stadium through loud speakers placed throughout the city. Atlanta will be decorated with United States and Georgia flags and banners, and all colleges and schools having bands have been asked to send them to take part in the parade. The President passed through At¬ lanta on Thursday, November 21, on his way to the Little White House, his Georgia home at Warm Springs, where he is spending his Thanksgiving holi¬ days. During President Roosevelt's stay on the Foundation this year, a special de¬ tachment of Marines has been stationed {Continued on page 4, column 1) Swimming Club Offers 'Pageant The Swimming Club of Agnes Scott College presented a colorful water pageant in Bucher Scott Gymnasium on Tuesday, November 26, at 8 P.

North China. This declaration by the Japanese government followed the massing of thousands of Japanese troops on the Chinese border at Chinchou and at Shanhaikwan. The Japanese army leaders issued an ultimatum to the North China officials that the autonomy program must be approved by noon Wednesday or eleven divisions of troops would invade and occupy the involved territory. Military intervention was threatened if the Nanking government should send troops to suppress the North China au¬ tonomy movement. However, the Nanking correspond¬ ent of the Rengo (Japanese) News Agency reported that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, leader of the Chinese national government, had decided to approve the projected autonomous con¬ federation. This alleged decision, the correspondent said, resulted from com¬ promise speeches designed "to save his face." Other dispatches indicated that the Chinese officials realized it would be suicidal to interefere with the au¬ tonomy movement. Although the new state will nomi¬ nally acknowledge the sovereignty of the Chinese republic, there will be no allegiance to the Nanking government and no financial or economic ties. It will be called the governing body of North China autonomous anticommunist commission of the Chinese repub¬ lic, but the name and the fact that it will continue to fly China's national flag of red, white, and blue are re¬ garded merely as "face saving" devices for Chinese nationalistic leaders. Dispatches said that a Japanese-advised subcommission will supervise the collection of taxes hitherto sent to Nanking. A new currency will be es¬ tablished linked to the Japanese yen and the Manchukuon yuon rather than to Nanking's new currency system. North China's airways, railways, and telegraph and telephone systems will be linked to those of Manchukuo. Although in Chinese quarters the opinion has gained ground that the au¬ tonomous North China state would be set up without bloodshed, government officials in Shanghai said, "We have been instructed to prepare for any eventuality."

Paths of Glory, by Humphrey Cobb, is a very realistic novel with a theme of outstanding and immediate interest to everyone—War. We are conveyed bodily to the battleground of the World War, which we perceive in all its horror and loathesomeness. We en¬ counter here not the glory—for the very title is infused with cutting irony, not the victory, not even the mere fact of death per se; but we come in sickeningly close contact with that side of war that is not so obvious or so gener¬ ally recognized, that is never discussed in our polite—or indifferent—society. We are brought face to face with the most revolting physical conditions im¬ aginable. We behold the glazed eyes and gray faces of men in whom all physical functions have been stopped by the tenseness of constant fear and by improper living conditions. We smell the smell of death on every hand. We perceive men dying the most ap¬ palling deaths conceivable. That of Lieutenant Paolacci is perhaps one of the worst. The lieutenant "groped for his thigh and couldn't find it. Instead, his hand entered an enormous, sticky cavity which seemed lined with sharp points . . .

It looked to the right and the left, two or three times, quickly, then lowered its head and began to eat Paolacci's under lip." The situation of Paths of Glory— it can hardly be called a plot—is pri¬ marily one of bitter anguish as opposed to the general atmosphere of physical suffering which pervades the entire book. We witness the selection by their captain of three men—all courageous, as it happens—to be shot for cowardice in the face of the enemy, admittedly not for personal cowardice, but as an example to the regiment because it has been absolutely unable to make a par¬ ticular advance. We are fascinated by the several methods of their selection and by the ultimate dramatic outcome of the whole deplorable situation. Indeed, it has truly been said that Paths of Glory will be instantly sup¬ pressed by any government approach¬ ing war; for it is a hideous indictment of the facts and methods of war, which, after all, remarks one of the characters, "never settled anything ex¬ cept who was the strongest." More¬ over, it is my firm belief that this novel, so suggestive in its simplicity, so overwhelming in its realism, so bit¬ ter in its irony, and so accusing in its significance, will take its place among the realistic masterpieces of English prose. —Jacque McWhite.

Campus For Longer Slav Expressing a desire to return to Ag¬ nes Scott College, Robert Frost, who is probably America's foremost poet of today, wrote Monday to Associate Pro¬ fessor Emma May Laney, of the Eng¬ lish department, that if it is agreeable with the College, he would like to make a visit here of longer duration than the one day's stay when he lec¬ tured on last November 7. Since he and Mrs. Frost are spending the winter in Florida, he could stop at the College in March or April on the return trip North, and could have the opportunity of having individual conferences and talks with students. A definite time in one of these months will be arranged by Miss Laney and Mr. Frost. When the members of the College Lecture Association first invited Mr. Frost to speak here in November, they had expressed the desire that he might be able to remain here a few days after the lecture. However, as it was impera¬ tive that he return immediately to Amherst, where he is a member of the faculty, Mr. Frost was able to be at Agnes Scott for only one day. Feeling that he had cheated us, as he termed it, he wrote Miss Laney that to the colleges where he goes, he "usually gives one public lecture, one-half a dozen or a dozen individual confer¬ ences, and one or two round tables. The arrangement is my own invention and has grown to be rather my spe¬ cialty." In the two or three places that Mr. Frost has spoken since, he has fol¬ lowed this plan. Mr. Frost continued that "Hand¬ shaking receptions almost never hap¬ pen to me. I usually sit somewhere and talk awhile to or with anyone who will sit on the floor at my feet after the platform is over." In his letter, Frost also remarked that he is sending some first editions of his poems to Miss Laney and to Frosty Brown, a relative of his. Robert Frost came to Agnes Scott on November 7 as the first of the dis¬ tinguished men to be brought here this season under the auspices of the Lec¬ ture Association. Thornton Wilder, the novelist, will be here in Febuary as the second. If the financial returns from this lecture are very satisfactory, the Association, continuing its policy of bringing a few distinguished peo¬ ple to the campus, hopes to bring either a speaker on current events or some well-known woman. German Club Will Present Christmas Play December 11 Ten members of the Agnes Scott German Club will take part in Das Weihnachfspiel, a Christmas play, at the last meeting of the club before Christmas. The date has been set for Wednesday, December 11. The play is under the direction of Professor Mu¬ riel Harn of the German department, Lucie Hess, and Ethelyn Johnson, pres¬ ident of the club. The cast of the play includes the following: der Vater, Wayve Lewis; die Mutter, Lucie Hess; eine fremde Frau, Anne Thompson; der Tod, Kathryn Bowen; das Miidchen, Jean Austin; der Soldat, Mary Kneale; der Konig, Jane Dryfoos; die Altc Frau, Ora Muse; and Engclchiir, Ann Worthy Johnson and Virginia Wood. Ann Martin and Lulu Ames are in charge of properties and costumes. The scene of the play is laid in a lonely hut in the woods, where a child lies dying. As Death is about to seize him, a strange woman who has come into the home reveals herself as the Vir¬ gin Mary and saves the child. Rehearsals for the play began last week. Practices for singing German Christmas carols have also started. Dr. McCain, Mr. Stukes Are At Louisville Conferences Three College Associations Hold Mr. S. D.

This is the first time that such a con¬ test has been held, and it is open to all students. Cash prizes of S3.SO and SI.50 will be awarded to those submit¬ ting the two best pictures. All snap-shots will be judged on the basis of general campus interest, orig¬ inality, and clearness. The first prize will be S3.5 0, the second prize, $1.5 0; a page in the Silhouette will be devoted to all pictures receiving honorable men¬ tion. The following suggestions have been offered those entering the contest: emphasis placed on groups rather than individuals, indoor exposures, unposed shots, and unusual backgrounds. The pictures must have local color, be char¬ acteristic of college life, and have been taken on the campus this year. BOOK NOTES (ContinueJ from page 2, column 5) physical comforts, the author obtained much pleasure from the inmates them¬ selves. He laughs through his entire account both at himself and at his neighbors. And in defending his mirth, he brings out one of the main points of the book—that "most forms of mental derangement have lost their clement of hushed shame and horror- pity by the fact that modern psychia¬ try has proved them curable." "This being true," he goes on to say, "I may add that a good deal of the stuff that goes on in such an institution is funny, de facto, whether it ought to be or not, and that any picture which leaves it out would be sentimental buncombe." Therefore we laugh wholeheartedly with the author over the three men who each claimed to be Napoleon Bonaparte and who found it uproar¬ iously funny that anyone else should call himself Napoleon, and again at the little chap who went around say¬ ing "Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle," thinking '■„ was the bell inside the telephone, and at the patient who always hid un¬ der his bed when the occupation bell rang. With characteristic humor, Mr. Seabrook ridicules "those innumerable f imilies who would rather see a relative 'in his grave' than shut up in a 'mad¬ house.' . . ." maintaining that the cross¬ ing of two cerebral-lingual wires is no more embarrassing or incurable than a broken arm or leg. And with a sud¬ den change of tone he crosses from the humorous to the serious, showing the different kinds of insanity and their causes. Loss of control he placed first in the list of causes. We enjoyed Asylum because it pre¬ sents the real inside picture of a mod-; crn asylum, because it gave us some j new ideas about mental disorders, and ; because it is written in a delightful and • informal style scintillating humor and ! pathos. £111111111111111IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIL: 1 IHY | 1 JUNIOR DRESSES [ -7111111111111111111111111111111111111 i 11111111111 iT ECWL - In the Largest and Most Beau¬ tiful Bowling Alleys on One Floor in the World.

Miss Bee Miller, instruc¬ tor in biology, and Associate Profes¬ sor Llewellyn Wilburn, of the physi¬ cal education department, will referee; Lulu Ames will be scorer, and Mary Elizabeth Morrow, timekeeper. Alice Taylor is basketball manager for this year; the class managers are: senior, Kathryn Bishop; junior, Isabel McCain; sophomore, Elizabeth Black- shear; and freshman, Caroline Car michael. During the season, each team will play six games.

It topped the list with 191 students sign¬ ing up for it, excluding the 29 mem¬ bers of the class in fundamentals of movement. Basketball came second with 62 signing up; individual gym¬ nastics next with 53; then swimming with 48; and finally campfire leader¬ ship with 30. This list does not include the large number of girls who belong to swimming, tennis, outing, and arch¬ ery clubs.

The second floor will contain three seminar rooms, a typewriting room, and a special room for the showing of lan¬ tern slides. It is hoped that the seminar rooms may be used as memorials to Dr. J. D. M. Armistead, professor of Eng! lish at Agnes Scott for eighteen years, to Miss Cleo Hearon, professor of his¬ tory for nine years, and to Miss Emily Elizabeth Howson, professor of physics and astronomy for eleven years. The | equipment of these rooms will consist I of the tables and chairs in the present | library, which will be refinished. The ; typewriting room will contain tables I and chairs for the use of those girls who have their own typewriters. Miss Hanley hopes that it will also be possible to have attractive furniture on the terrace, which will be connect¬ ed with the reading room by an at¬ tractive staircase. Further details of the plans for the equipment of the new lirary are now being made. The University of Virginia has open¬ ed its new art museum. Among the many famous paintings is one of George Wasnington by Rembrandt Peale, given bv Mrr Tiffany to the University.
