At the conclusion ef his own address, Dr. Hamilton presented Dr. Bassett, a north Carolinian who. had gone far in his chosen field of history bsforo he left the Stat for higher achievements. Dr. Bassett presented' a paper that dealt ia detail with fhe world situation as it affect! America and as America ia involved in international relations. The League of Nations, the issue of the late political campaign, the speaker maintained has aot bee discarded. A a people,' he said, Americans are ashamed of the nation's stand on the league, and he analysed the opposition to tha league from the viewpoint of those who were sincerely opposed to nay league, thase who believed that whoever should; b lected the league would be saved, ana toose who opposed it through' sheer perversity, . In his opinion, the league will pro vail anyhow, ia time, and America will take her place ia the association of nations. "It may be," he declared,' "that an other world war will have to be fought, but evca in, that ease, tha league or something like it will be adopted."
