"The MeGuiTeY readers are remem bered with affection by our fathers and, grandfathers. They were used mostly in the middle western part of Pennsylvania, but were not restricted to that section. Except the Bible and the dictionary, no books have ever sold, so many millions of copies," Wil liam J. Cameron, a noted book collec tor, said in a talk over the radio on a Ford program March 17. On a visit to his home in Ohio last summer, Professor Nixon met a man from Chicago who was an&intlmate friend, of Mr. Ford.

Ford about Professor Nixon's inter- est in the old school• texts and Mr. Ford had the copies made which he sent here. "No excellency without great bor; talent makes a man respectable, tact makes a man respected," and other quotation's were used in the old readers to admonish scholars in the first six grades during the last cen tury. According to one authority on old text books; the McGuffey books excell all others for purposes of moral in struction. War, liquor, laziness, im pudence, dishonesty and other vices received terrific blows from the Mc- Guffey brothers and they believed that their, books should be character building as well as educational. "From 1836 through the second half of the nineteenth century, these texts probably did more to root deeply the moral convictions of the American nation than any other factor," ex- Governor , Gifford Pinchot once said of the, books.

Tho time of year..has come when we are concerned with putting the campus grass in proper condition. The great majority of our students have pride in the appearance of the campus and make'a:practiee of not walking on the lawns. A few either are not interested .Or are forgetful and they are making.paths which are already conspicuous; and unsightly. know that the Student Board is interested in having, the campus look its best this spring and I should be glad if the Board would 'take such steps as appear practicable'to arouse student sentiment :in favor of pro tecting the appearariee of the lawn areas.

The lectures will be conducted in the Chemistry amphi thCatre from April 29 to May 3 inclu sive. The speaker for this series, who will discuss the borderline between physical chemistry and electrometal lurgy, is Prof. Matthevi A. Hunter, professor of electroclfemistry and head of the department of physics and electrical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. • His topics for the five:lectures will be: "Reactions in the Liquid State," "Reactions in the Solid State," "Phys ical Properties of Alloy Systems," "Physical Properties of Alloy Sys .tems, Continued," and "Special Ap plications." Inaugurated in 1926 The annual series was inaugurated by the faculty in 1926 and was taken over financially by Phi Lambda Up silon in 1931. The alumni of the chemistry department, of the College, as their part of this memorial to Jos eph Priestley, bought the .old Priest ley home at Northumberland, in 1919, and have since then built near' the home a museum in which are housed all the Priestley relies, that could be gathered together.

(Big Man On Cam pus.) ' , .See Statement Below. "I'll confess that it is very natural for students to take short-cuts across the grass, especially when they are in a hurry. However, this instinct must be curbed, particularly during this season of the year, if we hope to preserve the beauty of this cam pus during the months to come. "The thoughtless students only need to look about the campus to see many of the ugly, bare spots which are their own creations. Probably one person's walking across the grass would not do much harm, but the trouble lies in that 3,000 other stu dents decide upon the same short cut—each thinking that he is the only one taking it. "The administration can no longer be blamed• for the bare spots. It has laid so many sidewalks and asphalt paths that the campus has practical ly reached a saturation point as far as walks are concerned. 'The administration has taken the only course open to it; it has appeal ed to the students to keep off the grass. ,On . behalf of. the.• Student HOffd,' I reiterate the'Presidert's ic cpieit, and, urge that the students be more considerate ia the future."

History Professors Unperturbed By Major War Scare in Europe Prospects of war may be sending the pacifists of Europe scurrying un der their beds, but three history and political science professors of this College remained unperturbed, stat ing that a major war in Europe at, the present time is practically impos sible. Dr. James E. Gillespie, professor of European history, doubted if there would be a war in the immediate fu ture. He said, "Germany is not pre pared for war, and all of the other major nations arc anxious , to avoid trouble at the present time. There is no question but what Germany will rearm, but she won't dam to start anything because she is isolated." Dr. Jacob Tanger, acting bead of the department, said, "Germany won't start anything, and if she doesn't, the other countries won't either. All the European officials realize that a war will offer an excellent chance for the spread of Communism throughout all of the countries. Also, the dicta tors know from experience that if they got their countries into a war, they would be very apt to be 'un horsed' before it was over." While pointing out that he was not in a Position to make an authentic statement on the question, Dr. Fran cis J. Tsehan, professor of ancient, Roman, medieval, and Oriental his tory, felt that there was no immedi ate danger of a European war. He didn't believe that the European countries could afford another war at Light, Criswell To Captain Wrestling, Boxing Squads; Swift Will Manage Cagers All Freshmen Urged To Attend Meeting All freshmen are being urged to attend the mass meeting in the Chemistry amphitheatre tonight at 7 o'clock, being held for the pur pose of permitting first-year men to become better acquainted with sonic of the candidates for sopho more class officers, The candidates who will address the group are Frederick L.

Combining their efforts in a joint program, Phi Mu Alpha, honorary music fraternity, and the Louise Ho mer Club, women's music group, will present the third number in the win ter concert series, in Schwab, audi torium, Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'- clock. Using the same instrumentation as that of Paul Whiteman, the Phi Mu Alpha orchestra under the direction of Prof. Hummel• Fishburn, of the department of music education, will present the first part of the program. Opening with "Two American Sketches," Nocturne and March, by Grisell, the orchestra 'will then play Rube. Bloom's prize-winning jazz se lection, "Song of the Bayou." Two selections by Ferde GrOfe, '"On the Trail," from the "Grand' Canyon Suite," 'and "Metropolis'," conclude this part of the program. The Louise Homer Club will pre sent the second part of the program, opening with a group of soprano so los by Barbara M. L. Troxell '37, who will sing "Springtime," by Drumm, "0 Sleep, Why Dost Thou Leave Me?", by Handel, and "The Years at the Spring," by Beach. Dorothy A. Williman '3B, will play the flute ob ligati). A piano and organ duet, De marest's "Rhapsody," will be played by Margaret L. Hrthsinger '35 and Ann C. Strong '35. The concluding part of the pro gram .e consist of three selections 'by a mixed chorus composed of mem bers of the Louise Homer Club and Phi Mu Alpha, conducted by Miss Willa Williammee, of the department of music education. The numbers are "Twenty-Eighteen," a Norfolk coun ty air; "Judge's Dance," a Swedish folk song, and "Waters Ripple and Flow," a Czecho-Slovakian folk song. the present time. Dr. Tschan continued by saying that while he definitely was not an admirer of Herr Hitler, he believed that Hitler's renunciation of the Ver sailles Treaty was a very sensible move. "Hitler didn't have to break the treaty. Germany has been very consistently evading it for the past several years. From the first, the treaty has been a menace to the peace of Europe, and is as unsound as the treaties of Westphalia, Utrecht, and Vienna were." ' Alfred G. Pundt, instructor in his tory, was the only one of the four in terviewed who felt that war in Eu rope was imminent. He said, "There are three facts which niche me be lieve that war is inevitable. First, there has been an eighty per cent increase in the manufacture of arma ments in Europe during the past few years. This same increase took place in Europe, in the five years directly preceding the World War. "Second, there is a growing war like tension within Germany. And, third, all of the countries of Europe are becoming increasingly distressed over the prolonged depression. How ever, there is one very significant fac tor which should at least delay any European war. That is, that at the present time, there is no balance of power in Europe. Practically all of the major nations have lined up against Hitler; so that it would be futile for Germany to start anything now."
