coming September it will hold its second an-
nual Congress at Geneva, from the 1st until
the 2ist of the month. As during last Sep-
tember, it will arrange for a series of talks
by many of the most prominent delegates to
the Assembly, by permanent experts ‘con-
nected with the Secretariat and the Labor
Bureau, and by visitors of note. Most valu-
able of all, in the writer’s opinion, will be
the 9A. M. lectures every morning by Prof.
Alfred: E. Zimmern, well known by many
Americans and all educated Europeans, who
will outline from day to day the work of
the Assemb!y and its committees. Last
year the talks were attended not only by
students proper, but by crowds of the older
generation who had come to Geneva for the
Assembly.» It-might be added, too, that:mem-
hers of the Universities’ Federation are
given the opportunity of mecting many of
these men. Last fall even Premiers Herriot
and MacDonald found time. ta.receive per-

It remains now to tell of the relation of the
students who come to Geneva among them-
selves, of how young men and women from |
many lands meet and mingle in friendship
and mutual understanding. Strely the value
of such contacts both in broadening the out-
look of the students themselves and in estab-
lishing the foundations of future interna-
tional peace, need not be argued here. There
are many places where “such meetings be-

tween the students of different nationalifies
have taken place in the past ;.Oxford, Cam-
bridge, Paris, Berlin, Rome and other cele-
brated University centres in ‘Europe. But
it is to be doubted ifsever before such op-
portugities have offered themselves for
gatherings of this sort as'in Geneva during
the vacation months and particularly in Sep-
tember. The activities of the Universities’
Federation in this respect are notable, Be-
sides the numerous social functions#%t ar-
| ranges for, such as téas, evening parties and
trips on the lake, is the miniature Assemb!y
which takés place during the first week of
the Congress. Here the same procedure is
followed as in the League Assembly. Com-
mittees examine special questions and report
back to the Assembly, which debates them,
but which usualy passes them. Last fall
America was officially represented _ in, this
‘Assembly by 10 college students,
«Closely connected in spirit, but not
tuality, with the Federation, is the Interna-
tional Students’ ‘Union, a most promising or-
ganization founded last September byxa New
York woman, to provide a meeting place
and headquarters for the hundreds of stu-
dents ‘who flock to, Geneva throughout the
year. The Federation, together with all
other student bodies of an_ international

character, has the use of this Union.’ The
European Student Relief, which, also makes
its headquarters, at Geneva, has already uti-
lized the Union; and it is hoped that such
organizations as the C, I. E. (Confederation
Internationale des Eutudiants). will find op-
portunity to do so in the future.- The Union
is situated: in a fine apartment overlooking
the University of Geneva.

But. the--typical American student will
probably not have journeyed to Europe to
spend the summer in serious study in one
spot. The significance of all [ have said is
that he can, if he so wishes, top off his

during this month of the League Assembly.
He can remain there even for the whole of
the first two weeks and still get back to the

stout-hearted, he can run over to Chamonix
and climb Mont Blane over Saturday and

a or if his doctors have convinced

him that his heart is weak, he can sail quiet-
ly down the Lake of Rousseau and Byron
to Chillgn, Lausanne, and other tempting
sites. At the same time, in Geneva itself,
he will be going through a fascinating ex-
perience and gaining the background for
future contributions on his own part to the
life of man,

Honors Course.

Fifty colleges from various middle west-.
ern colleges, from the University of Michi-
gan in the north to Centre College in the .
south, attended a two-day conference on the
honors course at lowa City, Iowa, March
20 and 21. Although no resolutions were
passed at the closing sessien, officials ex-—
pressed satisfaction at the favorable recep-
tion of the idea by the delegates. It was
generally corfteded that the idea would work
better in the small colleges-than in the large
universities. ral J

“We did not meet actually “to settle this
question but to get a consensus of opifion
from different colleges,” commented Dr,
Frank Aydelotte, president of Swarthmore,
in an interview. “The general opinion is
favorable to the adoption of some form of
the honors course, -and withowft. doubt it. |

‘could be applied to any college or univer-

sity,”

The honors / cayirse, in operation at
Swarthmore for three years, was described
in The New Student, March 14. The course
is given to college students of exceptional
ability during the junior and senior years.
