Council holds the loading role of
Margaret Shipman, a sensitive un
dergraduate nurse in a metropolitan
hospital, who has brought to her
calling a bright hope and idealism.
Her idealism is faltering and un
tried, however, and receives the real
test when Margaret is confronted
with the many heartbreaks of her
profession. The young nurse finds
herself faced with the necessity
to sacrifice a personal love, Charles;
she sees injustice typified by the
formalized rigidity and merciless
ness of Miss Crisson, her superin
tendent (Anno Folger.) Margaret
Shipman learns the meaning of
hypocrisy as exemplified by Eleanor
I^e Witt, a fanatic on the word
“duty” (Helen Slye.) And finally
the young n-»rse is forced to cope
with tragedy in relation with Janey
Held, a weak narcotic addict who

SpeakerHere In Asssmbly
“Drawing is the fii'st spontane
ous, warm record of what an artist
feels—it is basic to art,” stated
Harold J. Brennen, professor of arts
and crafts at Westminister College,
when he lectured in Memorial Hall,
March 13. His topic was “Drawings
and the Master Draughtsmen.”
Using drawings by such outstand
ing artists as Michael Angelo, Rem
brandt, Renoir, Van Gogh, and many
others, which were projected onto
a screen, Mr. Brennan illustrated
how lines express tone, volume, tex
ture, space, and unity. The drawings
shown covered the period from the
fifteenth century to the present.
Pencil, crayon, pen and ink, brush
and ink, and silver point were the
mediums.
The artist, Mr. Brennan said, may
make a visual record, or he may
express what he thinks about what
he sees or what he feels about what
he sees.
Mr. Brennan emphasized the dif
ference between drawings and paint
ings and brought out the features
of drawings which are often over
looked.
INFORMAL TALKS
Harold J. Brennan made many
informal talks on various aspects
of the arts this week. He was re
ceived on Sunday night by a com
mittee of students and faculty, with'
whom he discussed the need for
more sensibility, or awareness of
the finer things of man’s spirit.
Brennan thinks that education will
gradually awaken sensibility, but
not in the near future because of
the nature of our society.
The nature of American society
causes a lack of widespread appre
ciation of art. This lack of aware
ness goes back to our pioneer days,
when men were concerned with the
bare necessities of life and had no
time to devote to the fine arts.
Another influence is the Industrial
Revolution. This problem of today
was presented to the Art history
class on Monday morning.
Other classes also heard Mr. Bren
nan. He talked on Spanish and
French art to the language classes.
On Monday morning, he outlined

Inman Talks
Dr. Samuel Guy Inman, adviser to
the State Department on Latin-
American affairs, and ,a member
of the United States delegation to
the recent Mexico City conference
of the American Republics,' said
yesterday that this was “the most
important conference in the history
of the American continent because
it was concerned with the raising
of standards of living for the Amer
ican people.”
Dr. Inman spoke at assembly yes
terday morning, giving! his analysis
of the results of the Mexico City
Conference. He told of the out
standing personalities present: Stet-
tinius, Connally, and Padilla. Stet-
tinius was described as a “cheerful,
smiling. Boy Scout” and Padilla was
the man who swung the Ldjl^n
American nations to the side of
the United States in 1942.
According to Dr. Inman, the Con
ference dealt with economic ques
tions rather than politics. The chief
idea was to raise the standard of
living of the little people of the
American continent. This should
be done by the industrialization of
Latin America.
Stettinius stated the , United
States foreign policy for the first
time at this historic conference.
The five points were as follows: (1)
Win the war, (2) eliminate Nazism
and Militarism from Germany and
Japan, (3) eliminate subversive
activity in this continent, (4) build
a world government, and (5) con
tinue the good neighbor policy.
Inman expressed his elation over
the fact that the conservative
United States was supporting and
