Dr. Rippey of Ouke
Addresses 1. R. C.
Using as his subject, “Funda
mental Factors in Our -Latin
American Relations,” Dr. J.
Fred Rippey, of Duke Univer
sity, spoke to the International
Relations Club on Tuesday eve
ning, March 7, in the Asfci*o Hall.
“Wc‘aren’t as superior as we
think wo are,” stated Dr, Rippey.
He gave the following reasons
for America’s feeling of superi
ority: We know more about
science; we’ve conquered our
environment with greater facil
ity ; we can govern ourselves bet
ter than they; and, we think we
are morally better. However,
according to Dr. Rippey, the
Latin Americans are superior to
the Americans in their apprecia
tion of art and music, in their
balance and poise, and their hu
man kindness.
Dr. Rippey said: “Our feel
ing of superiority has stood in
the way of a spirit of cordiality
between the two countries. There
are, however, many other differ
ences between the two nations.
Some of the underlying causes
Dr. Rippey gave for Latin Amer
ica’s general handicap arc phys
ical conditions, colonial inherit
ance, and the aftermath of the
war of independence.

Girls to Get Degree
During Summer
The summer school at Wake
Forest this year is to bear the
name Wake Forcst-Meredith, in
accordance with action taken
Friday by the executive bodies
of the two colleges.
The two presidents’ have
agreed that co-ordination of
summer school students will
strengthen botli colleges and in
volve no financial outlay.
This arrangement will enable
a student to do the work required
for the bachelor’s degree in three
years and three summer sessions.
President Brewer said that the
Meredith board of trustees will
grant the degree to students who,
compelled to drop out before
graduation, do their last year of
work in the Wake Forcst-IVtere-
dith summer school.
Two members of the Meredith
faculty, Professor Bunyan Y.
Tyner and Dr. Mary Lynch
Johnson, have already been en
gaged to teach in the summer

Barrie Play is Senior
Class Presentation
Dining Room Has Permanent Inmates
Archibald and Pcrcival, Oscar
and Oswald have built their nests
and taken up their permanent
abode in the Meredith dining
hall. Oscar and Oswald dwell in
the last panel, while Arcliihald
and Pcrcival live by the tree
“Pansy” in the right panel of
the west end of the dining hall.
They came in to keep the deer
and his master company during
the long, lonely hours betAveen
meals. They are excellent com
pany, too, for their brilliant
plumage is very cheerful, and
their voices are never raised in
wrangling quarrels. The birds,
though they have sissy names, are
not at all that way. In fact,
they are charming, and quite
friendly, so come in and get ac
quainted. Just now Archibald
has a cold—^Ins nose just xtnll run
—but he is cxpected to be well
again when the weather gets a
little warmer. The others are
thriving heartily, growing big
ger and brighter every day. In
some way, a snake lias crawlcd
in with Oswald and Oscar, but
they do not seem in the least
bothered, so why should we ? We
give them all, the snake included,
a rousing welcome, and thank
Knox Hood and Mary F. Snead
for getting them to make the
Meredith dining hall their home.
Contrary to the traditional
custom of the “odd classes, the
senior class will not give a Shake
speare play this j’ear but will
present Sir James M. Barrie’s
famous play, “What Every
Woman Knows.” The play is
being coached bv Dr. W. C. Hor
ton and will be given on Satur
day, April 8 instead of during
Commencement. It is the story
of a Scotcli lawyer who becomes
a success in London bA;> the help
of his wife without realizing it.
What every M'oman knows is that
“every man who is high up loves
to think that he has done it all
by himself.”
The cast of characters for the
play is: Maggie Wylie, Charlotte
Ilooper; John Shand, Pat Aber-
nethy; James Wylie, I.ula Belle
Highsniith; David Wylie, Norma
Lee Phelps; Aleck Wylie, Minna
LcGrand; Conitcsse do la Brieve,
Mary l^rances Snead; Lady
