I must confess, however, that of one- half (or perhaps not quite so much) of the man,‘ I know. very little; I refer to ‘that -half described in your invitation card as “Chief of the .Disdrmament Sec- - tion of the Secretariat of the League of Nations.” | Of, Madatiaga as a man of letters, a poet in his own right and a most distinguished critic, I. can‘ speak ‘with more. assM@¥attce. ‘erhaps ‘he is not very well known in this country, nor even very well outside England. England, how- ever, has taken him to her heart and will know him-as the first’ incumbent of. the newly founded chair of Spanish Studies at Oxford. _In Spain he will be better known in the near future, as well. His absence from Madrid, far from the literary cenacles that divide the literary empire of the capital, accounts for that. But there is little doubt that we. are dealing with a major figure in the world of letters. Mr. de Madariaga is a “Saniteni. He comes as close as any I have eyer known to being a representative European. Let us define -our terms and not to. make them too. stringent—this. simple one may do for the time being: “A European is someone who-can- understand and inter- pret at least one of the great continental cultures of Europe, France, Germany, Even measured by that standard there are not many. “Europeans.” But among a long line of distinguished mediators between the English-speaking world and Spain, he holds a foremost place. Spain Realistic, Yet Romantici. . Spain, as you know, is the home-.of realism. Yet the same country is steeped, not in the meretrigious “romantic”. gla- mour of populaf . but in an atmosphere of delicaté, sensitive poetic fancy. “No country has more beautiful popular poetry than Spain, and few have been able to feel it, interpret it, translate it even, more felicitously than Mr, de Madariaga. But he is able to see and face facts. Last night I picked up his volume of essays entitled “Shelley and Calderon,” and his dual personality was clearly apparent. The short, almost bald Cissy Centipede, on being told what was before her, replied by letter: , “My dear Mrs, Lot: “For two years you have abused me whenever you saw fit, and yet have I ever complained? No. I have submit- ted with all the grace possible to my in- sect nature. And now, this .latest im- position—shall I rebel? No. . Again, no. T: shall comply, but, Mrs. Lot, you have given me unrivalled opportunity to get my Rrrrevenge. : : Aha, Mrs. Lot, I.-shall_smash.-your stately Pillar with all my force.

The poor Dark Blue seems tobe tast- ing the dregs this year. Taylor did her best - for them, but without proper sup- port she ‘c wuld not stop the five fight- ing Seniors. Bruere was the outstanding player for 1928, raging all over the pool in her effort to help fill the places of the missing two. The line-up was: 1928— H. Guiterman***,. H Tuttle**, M. Gail- lard, A. Bruere*, M. Pettit, 1930—E. Grant, H. L. Taylor, F. Pettust#*, 1, Littlehale; K. Hirschberg, D. Cross, H Seligman, 5 1929 vs. 1931, January 19. : Another triumph for. the Freshmen., They ducked their sister class 6,3 on Boyd and Wills .were the mainstays of the Junior team but they could not prevail against the fast swim- ming of Burrows, Asher’s guarding, and the sure shooting of Libby Baer. The ‘freshmen’ fought hard every mo- ment, and they seem to'be developing a champion team’ closely resembling the Seniors in power. The line-up “was: 1929—-B. Freeman**, R. Wills, E. Moran, E. Boyd*, J. Carwratis V. Buel, S. Bradley. 1931—E, Baer*, ‘A. Burrows*, . E. Blanchard***, M. Frothingham*, C, Asher, -E.-Totten, H. Thomas: 1928.vs. 1931; January 23. * The champion Senior team. claimed another scalp on. Monday when it beat vans which will take British trade across the seas and bring back—like the galleons of old—a less bulky ‘though no less sub- stantial.cargo in the form of dividends.” This explariation of the rising favor of Spanish studies in England is “materialis- tic interpretation of. history” indeed: But it.is sound, just as certainly 3 as the’ grow- ing suecess, of Spanish Studies in this country is based on a nascent, yet uncon- scious, ambition of empire, economic at least, over the countries of Central and South America. Good Command of English. Yet his argument, intelligible to the counting-house, announces a collection of essays as delicate, as aigy, as far removed from obvious facts as well may be. Let me quote just a paragraph, which will evidence at the same time Mr. Madariaga’s unusual command of the tesources of the.English language: “Tt is too .readily assumed that the True, the Good'and the Beautiful are one and the same thing. They are. We want them to be. We passionately want them.to_be,.and_that-is why. we-keep-prov- ing it through ages of philosophy. But even if they are; even though they are one and the same thing, it is only in the Infinite, parallel ideas that’ meet in the of the earth.e And, even as geometrically parallel ‘lines, they never meet for prae- tical purposes.” He has published other books, ape under the title of “Canciones de ciego;’ volume of literary portraits; “Seiublanaad literarias,” and quite recently a “Guide to Don Quixote,” and I suppose it is no mean achievement to find a public for such a b k, in the face of the mountain of literature that has vantes. I can say little more. , But you may ask, pertinently, what all this has to do with the “Chiefof the Disarmament Section ot the Secretariat of the League of Na- tions”? And my. answer is that you can- not dissociate the two aspects. of -the man. de. se lap of God as verticals meet in the center’ overwhelmed Cer-’ Variation on a Familiar- Theme _ We had not room enough to print this Child,” but we thought its lyric, almost Blakian quality contrasted well with the epic tone of: the other The bootlegger’s chidd at the breakfast table Said she’d do what she could, were she only able. “But alas, cruel fate, where will my cereal come from If my daddy accepts not an evil sum from superiority last Thursday by’ topping. the} last week, with the other ‘“Bootlegger’s |. ae Freshmen 7-2.

For ’28 Guiterman made a pretty goal, and Field’s playing was much better than it has been lately. The line-up was: 1928—G, Field****, H, ‘Tuttle***, H. Guiterman*, E. Morgan, A. Bruere, E.

In the age in which we live we have a treniendous opportunity to throw our influence and weight into the making of an age of better understanding and fellowship between nations, creeds and races everywhere.” We are nervously awaiting the results of Cissy’s efforts. She is inclined to be eccentric, and after the threats in her letter, we wonder whether we will be in- cluded at all! Maybe it would be safer if we weren't. * * * Meditation of a Maniac.
