TVA Chief
Tells Ho w
t
Unif Helps
The, numerous ways in which
the Tennessee Valley Authority
had helped revitalize the people
in the Valley and reclaim the land
were outlined here yesterday by!
W. M. Landess, chief of the Agri
cultural Exposition Unit of the
TVA.
Landess was in Chapel Hill to
deliver the annual Common Moor
ing Lectures under sponsorship of
the Department of Health Educa
tion of the School of Public Health
of the University of North Carolina.
He spoke at the University Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday af
tefaoons, and each morning spoke
at .the North Carolina College in
D.uiham.
I The Mooring lecture were in
augurated in 1943 by the late Dr.
JIarcourt A. Morgan, former chair
man of the TVA Board of Directors
jand president of the University of
Tennessee, who was instrumental
' in shaping the resource develop
ment program of the Tennessee
Valley Authority. The Common
Mooring was the philosophy of Dr.
Morgan who was the father of Dr.
Lucy Shields Morgan, chairman of
the University's Department of
Health Education.
He believed that "the Common
Mooring is found in the contribu
tions of nature and the new values
we create as we enrich the ma
terials of the universe; every hu
man personality developed to its
highest possibility and allowed
fullest expression in that creative
service it is best capable of render
ing." Dr. Morgan delivered the lectures
here until his death in 1950. Since
then Landess has given them. I
Landess pointed out that the
TVA has sought to inspire the res
idents of the Valley to develop a
spirit of teamwork "to meet the
challenge to today's complex civ
ilization." This teamwork, which is evi
denced by the transformation of the
Valley in the 20 years of TVA, has
resulted in a new "interdepend
ence that puts farm communities
and farm people on the same foot
pride in new abilities and new ways
ing as their city neighbors; puts
of doing things that give agricul
ture new dignity, farm people new
opportunity, and city people a new
realization of their dependence
upon the land and their responsi
bility for working with farm fam
ilies to improve and protect the
ource of both rural and urban wel
fare." These people have seen what
the vast teamwork of dams, oper
ated as one system but each with
its own function, could do for a
region that was in grave economic
trouble in 1933 and is now one of
the fastest growing regions in the
country, Landess said.
"They are finding that new pow
ers for more satisfying human ex
istence can come from a unified
approach to the problems of liv
ing developing a working part
nership with nature, giving each
person and each family opportun
ity to contribute whatever each is
best fitted to contribute in the
proper relationship to the desires
of the entire community," he said.
"At the same time," he added,
"the individual finds that he loses
none of his independence or indi
vidual dignity. Rather, like the sys
tem of dams where each gains in
stature as in effectiveness by its
working partnership with all the
other segments of the gigantic sys
tem he finds greater opportunity
to develop his particular talents
and achieve new stature in con
tributing to the new effectiveness
of the community, county, and
region."
Landess believes that much of
the trouble of the world could be
resolved if this concept of inter
dependence, of oneness was shared
by all the peoples of the world.

Life Magazine
Exhibit Opens
This Weekend
A new photographic exhibit,
"1848", prepared by the editors
of Life Magazine in their series
of exhibitions on the history of
Western Culture, opens this week
end in the Morehead Building.
It will continue through March 7.
Depicting the crucial year of
the 19th century which some
historians have called "the turn
ing point of history at which his
tory didn't turn," "1848" consists
of 24 large panels, including
many rare pictures from the
journalistic point of view. Some
of the more unusual were ob
tained from 19th century periodi
cals and other sources contem
porary with the period.
"1848" attempts to describe
something of the complex nature
of the events which culminated
in that turbulent year.
. The exhibition is divided into
into five sections: England and
Industrialism, France, Austria,
Italy and Germany. The title
panel is a reproduction in color
of Delacroix's "Liberty Leading
the People" and is followed by

Quarter's faculty lecture in the
Humanities in Gerrard Hall.
j Taking as his subject, "Can These
Dry Bones Live?" Dr. Nash said
. "we who identify ourselves with
the humanities may ceaselessly

humanities but by so doing we do
little more than give the impression
of whistling to keep up our courage.
1 "Little more than two genera
tions ago the humanities were cen

alike of what happened, at any
' rate, at the worst, tolerated, and at
the best ignored."
Dr. Nash told his audience "the
ironic fact is that the humanities
find themselves in their present
position because their exponents
have so often sought unconscious
ly rather than consciously to ape
the natural sciences by the way in
which they have worshipped 'ob
jectivity.' "Basically, we. have ignored the
fact that the humanities received

Definition
Defining the mission of the to-S
tal University is the main goal of
the first annual "State of the Uni
versity Conference" to be held
here Tuesday and Wednesday. .
According to a Consolidated fac
ulty memorandum from President
Gray, it will be a "realistic work
conference, dealing neither with
minutiae nor with glittering gen
eralities, but with such basic, con
crete problems as the improve
ment of college teaching, the prop
er balance between research and
teaching, student-faculty relation
ships, and the mission of the total
University in the richer integra
tion of the three institutions."
Working procedure in this "ex
periment in self-examination" will
be as follows: The , University's
mission will be considered thor
oughly by faculty committees from
the three branches. During the Two
day session President Gray and
President A. Whitney Griswold
of Yale will address the entire
panel of approximately 150 faculty
members. : '
The written findings of the vari
ous work sessions win be presented
to Gray, who will reply with final
appraisals of the conference.
Chairmen of the three Institu
tional Committees are Franklin H.
McNutt of Woman's College, John
W. Shirley of State College and
B. L. Ullman of Chapel Hill.
Dr. Howard W. Odum is overall
chairman of the conference. Ar
rangements and exhibits chairman
is Russell M. Grumman of Chapel
Hill. J ,
In his letter to .the three facul
ties Gray listed reasons for his call
ing the conference: "To have in
mind a clear and workable concep
tion of the mission of the total
University is a matter of continu
ing concern to all of us.
"I have learned that such a
clear conception is no less import
ant to the faculty member who,
giving his best in teaching, re
search or service to other scholars,
requires, and is entitled to, a re
sponsible and practical statement
of what the total University is
seeking to accomplish in all areas
of its work.
, "And, of course, it is the devoted
faculty member who can contribute
most in basic content, to stating
, clearly the lines that mark out the
umvcisiij. iCoi,ul1xxo
dents, trustees and to the people
of the State," Gray said.

WSSF, in a report to the local
Campus Chest board depicting the
hardships of Korean students go

The woman's university there,
Ewha Woman's University, is proud
of its "campus in exile" made up
of wooden barracks built with cheap
crating lumber and tents. High on
the six levels of a Pusan hillside,
1,500 young Korean women study
in the colleges of liberal arts, edu
cation, fine arts and healing arts
without heat and with little furni
ture and equipment.

BRIEF
SEOUL Allied infantrymen
knifed into Red lines and killed
an estimated 197 Communists in
sporadic predawn clashes along the
bleak 155-mile Korean battlffront
yesterday. Screening U. S. Sabre
jets damaged two Red MIG's in a
clash between four Sabres and four
Russian-built fighters.
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. Stung
by U. S. charges that Russia is
prolonging the Korean war, Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishin
6ky worked yesterday on the reply
he will make before the United Na
tions. Henry Cabot Lodge directly
challenged Vishinsky to disprove a
list of charges that Russia planned
and instigated the aggression in
Korea, and supplied the North Kor
eans and Chinese with jet planes,
tanks, and heavy military equip
ment. SAN FRANCISCO Gen. James
A. Van Fleet will begin his "leis
urely" trip to Washington tomor
row where he will likely repeat his
warning that if the United Nations
lost Korea, "the Pacific Ocean
would become a Communist High
way." "If Korea is lost Japan and
the rest of Asia would follow suit,"
the former Eighth Army command
er said yesterday.
NEW YORK The New York
Post said yesterday that funds rais
ed in behalf of Vice-president Rich
