They are especially important as they are the ones who will chief ly influence the future policy of the nation. The young Europe are now forming a league of those who are resolved to take part in any future war. This movement may become so wide spread that diplomats will be forced to find some other way to settle quarrels. The third way in which America can help European nations is in the work of media tion. America is in such tion as to be able to stand apart from their quarrels and to help make peace among the warring factions. An interesting was recently brought about by the United States ir which Polish and German stu dents came together to discuss their international problems. They were able in this way to study each other’s history and present situations, and to get clearer understanding of the problems existing in the tiwo countries. If this plan can be carried out in other European countries, many beneficial re sults will undoubtedly ensue. Europe stands divided in many clashing parties and factions, and America is in a position to conciliation. If she undertakes to carry out this great responsibility, it may be that she will be able to save civilization from another catastrophe. i)K. FLO'i 0 lONTERTAINS HER ADVISEES AT TEA Dr. Floyd entertained her ad visees at tea on Friday. Tea from England made in a Russian samovar was served o Moorish tray from Granada. For favors Dr. Floyd gave little fans from Spain. This very unique tea was greatly enjoyed by the advisees of Dr. Floyd. THE BEAUTIES OF NATURE (Continued from Page One) eight years he taught in Boston, going from there to Columbia University where he founded the department of music. Six years later, at the age of forty-two, he died of a serious illness. Following this sketch of the composer’s life, Dean Shirley spoke interestingly of personal experiences as a pupil of MacDowell during one s mer at Peterboro, New Hamp shire. MacDowell opened a world for him,' Dean Shirley stated. He gave him something too wonderful to be expressed. He was the kind of teacher for whom it was a pleasure and inspiration to work. All of MacDowell’s pupils. Dean Shir ley declared, feel exactly as he himself feels concerning his great master. Dean Shirley described Mac- medium height, with blue eyes and dark hair slightly tinged with gray. He was an extremely modest man and was very fond of the great out-of-doors. His attitude toward beauty and nature was that of a poet. As a composer his rank ire. During his lifetime and so during the fifteen years since his death he has been recognized everywhere greatest American composer. He wrote for both piano orchestra. His four sonatas great from every point of v 3 Indian Suite orchestra is decidedly noblest American composition ever written. At the close of his lecture, Dean Shirley played several ( MacDowell’s piano composition —notably his “Norse Sonata’ a difficult and lengthy composi tion of three movements. The follo-sving shorter pieces were also given; “From a German Forest”, “Bre’r Rabbit”, “To a Water Lily”. Dean Shirley played with such perfect finish and such beautiful effect that he won from his audience the heartiest and most appreciative applause at the close of each number. I will confess in the beginning that a hike in the country has absolutely no attraction for I may be lazy, or perchance that element that causes the soul to leap up in response to the beauties, is lacking in my make Whatever the cause 1, I do not delight country strolls. It was only the necessity of going through with such a stroll for the sake of English theme that led me the country on this particular morning. I awoke with an alarm clock clanging under my pillow. This must have caused my annoyance at the whole affair. To me, the sound of an alarm clock i ■ly morning hours is the the revielle to the average soldier. I donned my attire and sot out for regions unknown ith the same air that a missive small boy assumes when deber minded mother about washing his ears. When I reached the country e so called beauties of nature met my eyes on all sides. I was on the edge of a lane trying to drink in one of the noticeable scenes, when footsteps near by told me that I not alone in my sojourn. Turning around, I beheld another beauty of nature— namely, a bull. Great jubila tion surged in my soul.. I knew when I returned to school, I could say I had leaped and with a beauty of nature as incentive. By and by the sun grew w and my physical being wai affected that small beads of pers piration began to make them selves felt on my brow'. I tried to pay no attention to this and think only of the spiritual side of my being; because the pur pose of this walk was to feed my soul. Fatigue, however, overcame me and I thought per haps after all, I could enjoy my surroundings equally as much from the shade of a near by tree. I chose a nice shady spot, the bank of a gurgling streamlet, and betook myself thither. I started to throw my self comfortably on the ground, when again, I leaped at the wonders of nature. I had chosen a bed of stinging nettles my resting place. Feeling the need of medical skill and of food, I hailed a pas sing vehicle and came back to school tired, thirsty, and sleepy, but deeply impressed by the 'vels of nature.
