QUEENS BLUES
FOUNDER’S
DAY
January 19^ 1935
Queens-Chicora College, Charlotte, N. C.
Vol. 14-No. 7
Founder’s Day Celebration Held
Eminent Speaker
Heard By Girls
Here At Queens
President of Goucher, Dr.
David A. Robertson, Gave
Interesting Lecture
l)i'. David A. Robertson, presi
dent of Goucher College of Balti
more, spoke at the organization’s
last meeting, which was held at
Woman’s Club at eight o’clock
last Tuesday evening. Dr. Rob
ertson arrived in the city Tuesday
morning and spoke at Central High
School. He was entertained at
luncheon by Charlotte alumnae of
Goucher and was honored at a tea
given in the afternoon by Mrs. C.
T. Wanzer, president of the Char
lotte University of Women and an
alumna of Goucher. Members of
the Charlotte University Women’s
organization were invited to at
tend Mrs. Wanzer’s informal tea.
The lecture was to have been
given in the college auditorium and
was to have been followed by a
reception with the faculties of
Winthrop and Dividson* as guests.
Plans were changed, because of
the illness of Dr. Blair.
It is doubtful if Queens-Chicora
Students will have during their
stay in college, another opportun
ity to hear a speaker as forceful
as was President Robertson. He
represents the culture and poise
which an education ought to give
and as college women students can
not afford to miss such opportuni
ties as this one to enrich their col
lege experience.
Miss Harriet Elliot, of the
Woman’s College of the Univer
sity of North Carolina, will speak
at the March meeting on some
questions of international interest.
Tentative plans for the voca
tional guidance work to be done in
the spring were discussed by the
American Association of Univer
sity Women at their meeting held
in the S & W Cafeteria. No defi
nite dates for contacting the high
school and college students have
yet been decided upon.
New Courses To
Be Offered Here
A number of new courses for
the second semester are being of
fered by the various departments
of the school.
In the psychology department
there will be courses in mental
hygiene, experimental, and educa
tional psychology, and applications
of psychology, as well as a course
in classroom management.
In addition there will be classes
in bacteriology, local flora, Latin
American history, history of chem
istry, and methods of teaching
science.
Many English majors will be in
terested in the course in Tennyson
and Browning. Others may refer
studies in economics, costume de
signs, or a beginning course in
typing.
Schedules are now being ar
ranged, and it is possible that
other courses will be added.
Tea Given By
Coronet
The Coronet staffs will give a tea
in honor of the Alumnae. The tea
will be given to introduce The
Coronet to all the alumnae and to
obtain more subscriptions from that
body. This will be the, first time
that The Coronet has been former
ly presented to the Alumnae, though
the first copy of the “magazine-
annual” was shown at an Alumnae
meeting in November.
Junior Class
To Sponsor
Big Cabaret
First of Its Type To Be Pre
sented at Queens Feb
ruary 15
A cabaret is to be presented at
Queens-Chicora College on Febru
ary 15, under the auspices of the
Junior Class. This will be the
first entertainment of its type ever
to be presented at Queens and
promises to be unusual and spec
tacular.
The dining room in Morrison
Hall, where the cabaret is to be
given, will be decorated in the
colors and motifs of Saint Valen
tine’s Day. Elaborate plans for
an attractive floor show of talent
ed dancers and singers are now be
ing perfected. During the evening
a Charlotte orchestra will furnish
a continuous program of popular
dance melodies.
The cabaret will be open not only
to the students of the college but
also to the people of Charlotte and
to the students of Davidson.
Sale of tickets will begin the last
of this month. The moderate price
of those tickets will entitle the
holders to a simple supper and to
see the floor show. On the menu
there will be numbers of other
dishes which may be ordered at an
additional cost.
The proceeds are to be used for
the Junior-Senior banquet which
is to be given this spring.
Carnival To Be
Held on Feb. 2
A Carnival will be held Febru
ary 2, 1935, in the dining room in
Morrison Hall. This Carnival,
which promises to be unusually at
tractive, is being planned by the
Social Committee of which Vivian
Hilton is the chairman. Other
members of the committee are
Betty Manning, Mary Murray,
Margaret Trobaugh, and Frances
Smith.
Some of the attractive features
of the Carnival will be a cakewalk,
a fortune teller, and a “fishing-
booth.” There will also be a booth
selling candies, popcorn, and pea
nuts. The climax of the Carnival
will come with the crowning of the
King and Queen of Festivity.
A small admission will be
charged which will entitle the stu
dents to enter many of the booths.
There will be a fee at some booths.
The entire receipts of the Car
nival will be used to improve the
furnishings of the reception rooms
in Burwell Hall.

he justified.

Senior Class; (2) recommendation

In an effort to stimulate discus
sion and to crystalize opinions
among the students on the con-
^■rovei‘sy of “International.sm vs.
Nationalism,” the Queens Blues
carried in a recent issue a copy
of the Open Letter from the As
sociate of College Editors to Wil
liam Randolph Hearst. That let
ter carried nine significant ques
tions which had been prepared in
England by Sir Norman Angell, the
pacifist author and “probable win
ner of the Nobel Peace Prize for
this year,” to be answered by Lord
Beaverbrook, owner of the London
Daily Express.
Because of the laborious nature
of the questions, Lord Beaverbrook
declined to answer them.
Following is the answer of Wil
liam Randolph Hearst, the per
sonification of arrogant national
ism, to Mr. F. G Smith, Jr-.. Presi
dent of the A. C. E.
Mr. Francis G. Smith, Jr.,
President, the Association of
College Editors,
354 Fourth Ave., New York.
My Dear Sir:
I am happy to learn that Mr.
Norman Angell is a “probable
Nobel Prize winner,” but I have
not been overwhelmingly impress
ed by actual prize winners—as far
as their political sagacity is con
cerned.
Because of which (and irrespec
tive of which), I do not feel obli
gated to answer categorically dis
ingenuous, spacious questions pro
pounded on the recognized “Have
you stopped beating your wife,—
answer yes or no” basis.
Neveitheless, I have no objec
tion to stating- clearly and com
prehensively my beliefs as to what
constitutes visionary and what
practical and patriotic inter
nationalism.
I personally believe in national
ism and internationalism, each in
its proper place.
* * *
I BELIEVE in benefiting all the
people of the earth, whenever
and wherever we can do so WITH
OUT SACRIFICING THE IN
TERESTS OF OUR OWN PEO
PLE.
I believe in promoting- the pub
lic welfare, but I do not believe
it necessary in doing so to be en
tirely indiffeient to the needs of
my own family and associates.
I believe in loving my neighbor
as myself, but I have not yet reach
ed the point where I am ready to
sell all I have and give every pre
cious personal and national posses
sion to covetous neighboring na
tions who desire them but do not
reserve them.
* S(c * .
I BELIEVE in good faith and
common honesty among individuals
and also among nations.
I believe in honor among theives.
I believe that honest debts
should be paid and a word of honor
respected among- peoples and poli
ticians, even when dishonesty and
dishonor are momentarily profit
able.
Pledges must not be given un
less they are to be observed; obli
gations cannot be contracted unless
they are to be discharged.
Business cannot be conducted
unless the names on notes and
bonds are valid and honored.
International relations can never
be maintained on a friendly basis
or even on a business basis if all
men are liars and all nations re-
pudiators of debts and duty.
I believe in peace and in all
sane measuies to promote peace at
home and abroad and among- na
tions—BUT PARTICULARLY AT
HOME.
* * * *
I BELIEVE that the best way
to insure peace at home is to keep
out of wars abroad and out of un
necessary international complica
tions which may lead to war.
I believe in dasarmament when
nations are willing to disarm.
I believe in sustained efforts to
persuade nations to disarm.
But I do not believe that a rich
and envied country like our own
should place itself in the position
of a shortsighted and misguided
