ARCBJE DAVIS SPEAKS
TOY.W.JA CROUP
Discusses Jewish Situation
In Germany
Mr. Archie Davis spoke Wednes-
day night, to the World Fellowship
Goup of the Y. W. C. A. on “The
Jewish Situation in Gemany. ”
Mr. Davis stated that the Jews
have been for 2,000 years a people
persecuted by many powerful na
tions. The persecution which they
have suffered in Germany is a result
of the World War. Prior to 1912 the
Jews were forbidden positions in the
army and as a means of livelihood
turned to the arts and professions.
With the defeat of the Germans the
soldiers also turned to the same
means of making a living as employ
ed by the Jews. Then, naturally,
followed efforts to displace the Jew
and give the German a place among
the professions. This resulted in boy
cotting the former. Without work
in Germany the Jews began to leave
the country, some going back to
Palestine, some to other countries
where they were tolerated. The
exodus from Germany has added a
considerable number to the already
large Jewish population in America.
One third of all in the world live
in America while one eighth live in
New York City alone. Those being
added to our population at the pres
ent time are reported to be of the
highest type intellectually.
Alpha Iota Pi held its annual pic
nic Monday afternoon at the home
of Eugenia McNew. The affair was
a success as usual. The club mem
bers played Croquet, rode bicycles,
and tried to hit the bull’s eye with
an arrow during the afternoon.
Katherine Sissell and Ethel Mae
Angelo were in charge of the food
and Eleanor Watkins was in charge
of the transportation. Chaperones
were Dr. Minnie J. Smith, Mr. and
Mrs. E. K. McNew, and Mr. and Mrs.
C. F. Sissell.
Officers of Alpha Iota Pi for next
year are: President, Eloise Baynes;
Vice-President, Helen McArthur;
Secretary and Treasurer, Katherine
Sissell.
The installation service for the new
Y. W. C. A. Cabinet of 1936- ’37 was
held in the college library, Sunday
evening at six-thirty. Just as the
day was fading into dusk, the old
cabinet members retired from office;
and the new cabinet members pledged
themselves over lighted candles to
uphold the ideals of the Y. W. C. A.,
and to undertake the responsibility
of the duties given over to them by
the retiring cabinet. Erika Marx
gave her farewell talk as old presi
dent of the “Y. ” and Mary Frances
Hayworth made her first address as
new president. A spirit of great
dignity, beauty, and reverence pre
vailed throughout the whole service
—a spirit which was enhanced by
Mrs. Eondthaler’s prayer for the
guidance of the cabinets and Miss
Beed’a beautiful violin solo. Those
