Born in Holland
. Born in Holland in 1893, Van
Der Leeuw's philosophic career
began when he was fifteen years
old, and since that time he has
lectured more than a thousand
times on such varied subjects as
philosophy, political science, edu
cation and modern psychology,
often delivered in French, Ger
:man or Dutch.
Van Der Leeuw's present
tour through the United States
is a harbinger of the growing
outlook expressing itself in hu
man life, social and political as
wdl as religious and , philo
sophical and in art and science
as well as in education and eco
nomics, and has been
designed
in an effort to acquaint. the in

Dearth of University Men of Political Fame in 1908 Presents Con
trast to Situation Today, When Forecast of Head of
Philosophy Department Is Entirely Fulfilled.
Speaking before a Y. M. C. A.
Meeting in January, 1908, Pro
fessor Horace Williams express
ed his belief that the Univer
sity was in a position to turn
out men who would assume lead
ership in- the affairs of the state
and that two students would be
come great lawyers of the south.
He observed in his address,
"Of our congressmen only one
is a University man ; neither of
om senators owes anything to
the University and our governor
is a Davidson man." The legis
lature of that day was also lack
ing in Carolina men. Citing the
jneed for leaders in the New
South, he stated, "We are in a
position to turn but men now."
Different Situation
Today seven of North Caro
lina's national congressmen and
almost half of the present legis
lature, are alumni of the Uni
versity. Governor 0. Max Gard
ner is a Carolina graduate.
Senator Cameron Morrison re
ceived an honorary degree from
"the University in 1922 and is an
honorary member of the class
of 1897. ;
More exact proof of Profes
sor Williams' prophetic prowess
is apparent in his testimonies of
Walter P. Stacy and John J.
Parker, both of whom studied
under him. Speaking of them in
1908, he predicted "Stacy, the
fighter, the man I had rather
have behind me in a fight than

HOUSE DESCRIBES

DAILYjflSTORIES
Executive Secretary of Univer
sity Speaks in Assembly on
"Current Events."
"There is a great fallacy
among American newspaper
readers that if they glance over
a number of brief headlines they
are well acquainted with a num
ber of current subjects," de
clared R. B. House, executive
secretary of the University in
his assembly discussion of "Cur
rent Events." .
"The Abbe Ernest Dimnet in
his book, The Art of Thinking,
cautions us not to give an equal
attention to a various number
of topics in a daily paper, for he
says that there is no quicker
way to destroy any ability to
concentrate on one subject than
to read in a careless or desultory
manner." In connection jwith
his statement, House explained
how the relative importance of
news may be misunderstood by
headlines. He illustrated by
mentioning the extent of publi
city which the French news
papers gave to the races at
Longchamps, while at that same
time only a brief note appeared
concerning the assassination of
the Austrian archduke at Sera-
jevo. - v..,. ,

a daily paper a page of contem
porary history. "In addition to
our interest in its , news, the
daily paper should be a stimulus
to our thinking," said House in
conclusion.

Under New Idea Students Would
Sign Pledge at Time of ,
Registration.
A new plan for the enforce
ment of the honor system at the
University has been presented
which would hold equally respon
sible a witness to a violation who
did not report and the student
who committed the act of viola
tion.
The suggestion of this policy
was the outcome of a joint meet
ing of the faculty executive com
mittee and the student council.
It can not be adopted, however,
without the approval of the
members of the student body, j
The definite aim of the coun
cil is to lead the students to the
endorsement of a plan whereby
beginning with the spring quar
ter of 1932 each student upon
registering will sign a definite
statement that he will report any
violation of the honor system
coming to his attention. Such
a statement would be signed
each fall quarter hereafter and
by new students upon registra
tion. The council feels that the
signed pledge is in no way in
computable with the honor sys
tem but rather is a helpful re
enforcement. Activities Offer Aid
