interesting meeting
Rabbi Leiberman Addresses
Club
The American Association of Uni
versity Women met on Tuesday
night, October 15, in Louisa Wilson
Bitting Building of Salem College.
The speaker at the meeting was
Rabbi Morriss Leiberman, who with
I?ev. Beverly Boyd and Father Leo
Frierson is addressing the high
schools of the city. Eabbi Leiber
man is to lead the study for the In
ternational Relations and Current
Events group of the A. A. II. W. this
year.
Rabbi Leiberman’ subject was
“Modern Challenge to Intelligence.”
He began his address by stating that
the world as it is and the world as it
should be are separated by a great
barrier which should be overcome by
groups such as the A. A. U. W. Ihe
speaker quoted from Huxley’s
“Brave New World” and other
books pertaining to his subject. He
declared that members of the A. A
U. W’. are trained to understand
existing condtions and should ex-
l>lain to the lesser educated, it is
right for the intelligent to assume
this responsibility.
An error in thinking, Rabbi
Leiberman said, is that armed de
fense brings peace. History proves
this theory erroneous. The failure
to comi>rehend the cause and effect,
ho declared, is the reason for the im
pending catastrophe abroad . His
concluding words challenged the in
telligence of educated people to real
ize the responsibility of society.
The president. Miss Diana Dyer,’
presided and various business affairs
wore transacted liefore the meeting
was adjourned.
COLLEGE LIBRARY PRE
SENTS BIBLE EXHIBIT
Celebration of Anniversary
of English Bible Continued
Have you seen tlie bible exhibit in
the library ? You can see a facsimile
of the title page of the Coverdale
Bible which was printed in 1535, the
first bible printed in English. It
was translated from German and
Latin by Hiles Coverdale. In 1525
Lyndale’s New Testament was pub
lished. In 1539 the great bible was
printed. The translation was started
in France under the direction of |
Cromwell and finished in England ^
under the direction of Coverdale.
This was the first bible to bear im-
j)rint ‘ ‘ Appointed to be read in
Churches.” In 1500 the Genevia
Bible was published. This transla
tion was by Whittingham, Gibly, and
Sampson. This bibe was popular with
the common people. In 1582 the
Rhiems New Testament was publish
ed and in 1609 the Douai Old Test
ament was published. In 1611 the
King James Version was published.
The plans for this translation were
started in 1604. At Cambridge, Ox
ford, and Westminster there were
scholars working on different parts
of the bible. When all the parts were
finished, representatives from each
company met and spent nine months
harmonizing it. The King James
Version was publi.shed in 1611 and
more copies have been printed and
sold than of any book in any lan
guage. ®

It is whispered about on the cam
pus that these German Club meetings
are not really serious business as-
.seniblies at all, but are social affairs
there’s the Salem German Club,
7:30, October 16 th, that members
of the German Club at Salem met at
The Hut for a Treasure Hunt. High
and low, far and near, the campus
was searched and explared. 'I’he
treasure, liowever, was finally un
earthed near the Hut whence the
treasure hunters had begun their
quest.
Their goal reached, the German
Club members gathered before a
large fire in the Hut and popped
corn and ate apples to the tune of
German songs which they sang lus
tily. It seems to us that where
there’s the Salem German Club,
there’s fun.

Mr. McEwen Discusses
“Jesus As A Hygienist”
Mr. JIcEwen, head of the Depart
ment of Education, spoke in chapel,
Saturday, October 12, on “Jesus as
a Teacher and Hygenist.” Jesus,
with His remarkable personality and
His daily activity, will always be
regarded as the world’s greatest
Teacher. lie used an imi>ortant
method in teaching, adhering to a
genetic approach, and recognizing de
velopment in nature and in the hu
man mind. Mr. McEwen pointed out
passages in the Bible to show this
development.
Josus used the method of adjust
ment and practiced practical experi
ments. He pointed out truth through
these everyday occurrences; His
many parables illustrate this. He
used the parable because it loaned
Itself to any situation.
He also used psycho-analysis. He
analized the rich young man who
consulted Him and saw the weak
ness of the man, and advised him
to sell all his possessions and join
the disciples. Jesus was a success
ful teacher because He was always
sincere in His teaching — He was
always in comj>lete readiness to face
reality.

from the time of its founding to the

unbiased patriotism to the nation

‘ Loyalty to the truth of Southei'n
history,” and the U. D. C. has done
moie toward preserving the true
history of the South than any other
organization of its kind.
By awarding scholarships to many
young people throughout the country

Boston and on to New York has been
just the thing for Dr. Rondthaler.
