Scherg'cr as speaker in one of the best Armistice Day assemblies in recent years. Doctor Scherger, who is nominally professor of history at Armour, is on leave of absence this year. In his address at the as- sembly however, he delivered a most constructiva and interesting history lesson. At present, Doctor Schergcr point- ed out, the world is in a far worse condition than it was in 1913. In that year, Europe had 28 million men under arms and was expending one and one-half billion dollars for war preparations. Today there are 38 million men under arms and more than three billion dollars are being spent yearly for war preparations. Further complications are presen today because of the fact that Japan and Russia are world powers; the World War hasn't been paid for yet (the U. S. is doing most of what little paying is being done); and above all, the infamous treaty of Versailles created far more trouble than it dispelled. More Dangerous Than in 1913 There are many more politically dangerous spots in Europe today than there were in 1913. For in, stance.war is certain if voting in the Saar region is dishonestly conduct— ed; Jugoslavia and Italy are on very unfriendly terms; if Hungary at- tempts to place Otto on the throne, Czechoslovakia will most likely at- tempt to intervene; and there is the ever-present danger of war between Russia and Japan. “Diplomaniacs” and munitions makers are responsible for wars, Doctor Scherger stated. He cited an illustration of a Frenchman‘s admir. ation for Germans and German art, and then showed that the French people were led to hate the Germans because they were so easily led.” Prepare for Peace, Not War Doctor Scheiger felt that the way to preserve peace was to prepare for it, instead of for war. He felt con- vinced that our generation would be able to solve the problems of peace and the social problems at home. By teaching history more from a social and literary viewpoint instead of from a military and political stand we would make a good start toward international peace, be said. “Your director, Mr. Erickson, has performed miracles," was the hand— some compliment presented to the musical organizations by Doctor Schcrger, “and we believe that their fine work merits this compliment. In- cidentally, the fine attendance at the assembly is also worthy of a com- pliment to the school.” Steuben Club Scene of Architects Dance Over one hundred and twenty-fivel couples attended the Arx dance, at the Steuben club, last Friday. This gratifying success was due in part to the hearty co~operation of the engineers. who constituted a large; portion of those attending. 1 After the evening was well under; way, a photograph was taken by J. M. Bard, which included all ChOSel attending. A waltz contest added the final touch to an enjoyable evening.i Among the chaperones were Dean Heald and Professor C. G. Blough,, J. F. Mangold. VV. F. McCau,e;hey,i W. Hendricks, I. M. Spears, W. L.‘ Butter, and their wives. ; The proceeds of the dance werei relegated to the Armour Architec- tural Society treasury, and will be, used to help finance other social‘ functions which are to be given lat-, er in the season.

Morrison Wednesday, Oct. 27, was the one hundred and thiriy~sccond anniversary of the birth of John Purdue, founder of Purdue university. The Oval in front of University Hall is his burial place. The Daily Illini tells us that one of the chair pushers at the World’s Fair last summer is now completing his course in the Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology with the assistance of a wealthy Boston widow whom he wheeled about the exposition grounds for twenty consecutive days. In the course of their travels his financial state was revealed as well as his ambitions, and the lady offered him a job as chauffeur and furnished the finances for the completion of his course. We also find in the Daily lllini an account of a professor of English at the University of Illinois who forgot his textbook. It seems he sent one of the students in the office after it. forgot he sent him out, and marked him WflflW—WW grammes (Continued from page 1) Ray McGraw, University of Penn- sylvania captain, caught every punt for three years and then dropped the last punt in the last game—however he picked it up and returned it 30 yards. that type given General Johnson should be vested in a board or coun— cil. Now Richberg .rides on high. Is group activity and authority superior to that of an individual? Perhaps thought along this line may be well directed by another question. Was there ever a committee or board which possessed the characteristic intent of an individual? There is no basis for {car when progress appears due to the efforts of an individual. Individualistic power in government may tend to resemble “dictatorship." but at any rate it still requires the character of an individual to present the solution to any problem.
