Miss Rawson, who is vice-president of
the Association, said, in a brief talk
after the announcement, “We can con-
tribute to-the Christian Association bud-
get and work on the different committees
without being really active members.
Our attitude toward other people ought
to show what membership in the Chris-
tian Association‘means to us. It ought
to make a vital difference in our lives.
If we could remember to do the little
friendly things that really count so much
in the end it would be easier for every-

one in College to live ‘in the spirit
of reverent .worship, fellowship and
service.’ ” ~

PAUL’S EPISTLES DISCUSSED AND
EXPLAINED BY DR. TYSON

Paul’s letters were the* subject of Dr.
Stewart" “Pyson’s third “Bible lecture given
ir Taylor Hall last Wednesday evening.

Dr., Tyson explained that the chief rea-
son for the—existence of the »letters :was
the condition of the Christian churches.
at the time, which made Paul. anxious
to encourage them and exliort them to
greater effort. He also had-a desire- to
express his opinion. For this reason he
wrote to the Romans of man’s relation to
God, and to the Ephesian'’ssof the Chris-
tian church. The Epistle.to the Ephesians
was not: a letter in the exact sense of the
Word, Dr. Tyson said, since it was not
designe@&for any one church.

“Out. of ‘what must have beén a_ most
extensive personal correspondence only oie
letter remains, the~Epistle ‘to~ Philemon,”
Dr. Tyson stated. This-is an appeal to the
owner of a runaway slave to forgive the
culprit.

IN THE NEW BOOK ROOM

“Humorous Ghost Stories” is the first
of the week’s new books likely to catch the
eye of a casual loiterer in the New Book
Room. It is a collection of the very best
stories of its kind, beginning with Oscar
Wilde’s ever refreshing “Canterville
Ghost,” and including, améng others, “The
Ghost that Got the -Button,” by Will
Adams, “The’ Haunted Photograph,”.. by
Ruth M. Stewart, and Theophile Gantite’s
“The Mummy’s: Foot.”

Another collection on the shelf this ‘aii
is “The Best Plays of 1920-21.” Here we
have the familiar titles “Deburau,” ‘The
First. Year,” “Enter Madame,” “The Green
Goddess,” “Liliom,” Mary Rose,” “Nice
People,” “The . Bad Man,” “Emperor
Jones,” and the “Skin Game,” bound to be
of interest to theater-goeys.

As a book of the times, “Fruits of Vic-
tory,” by Norman Angell, has come into
the library.- Mr. “Angell is the “fathor “ot
the “Great Illusion,” “Dangers of Half
Preparedness,” and a number of other
‘volumes on modern’ problems. —

“Le Roman-de Tristan et Iseut,” a new

books on the shelf. The style is simple

M. “Bédier’s has been crowned by SS

MRS. CATT STRESSES. POLITICAL

DUTIES OF COLLEGE WOMEN

Delivers First Lecture ~ of Shaw
Memorial Foundation in Politics
“Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, founder of.
the Léague of Women Voters and for mdny —
years president of the National Woman
Suffrage - Association, delivered the -first
lecture of the Anna Howard Shaw Chair

‘of Politics before a large audience in the

gymnasium last Thursday evening at 830.

“A foundation in politics at a-woman’s
college is a most fitting memorial for Dr.
Anna Howard Shaw,” said Mrs. Catt in
the introduction to her lecture. “Dr. Shaw
was a genuine: maker of. history. More
than any other person she compelled the
natign to change its mind about suffrage,
and to write in the Federal constitution the
result of its conversion. -She, was~ easily
the greatest woman’ orator. the world has
yet produced. For nearly forty years she
fought, and pleaded, and then in the very
moment’ of triumph, she died.”

“You have inheritéd.a.baHot-share-in -the
government of this nation, plus superiority
of intelligence,’ Mrs. Catt told her audi-
ence. “The machinery through which you
must work is politics. Politics has been
called ‘a rege process ®f electing un-
known mento offices the duties. of which :
are either unknown or _ uninteresting.’
Politics is’ also present history,” said Mrs.
Catt... “It is ‘the drama played’; but
though it doesn’t require much intelligence
to understand history, provided it is well
written, it requires the highest —
to understand politics.”

“You are among the thirty per cent.
which controls the factors which ‘make
civilization,” Mrs. Catt declared.- “The
world of the future depends on your
breadth of vision, the clarity with which
you compel 6thers to see, the courage with
which” you defend: your. -end,.” . Though
government never reaches the level of the

highest intelligences, Mrs. Catt believes that, -
| fundamentally all people want. honest and

just .government. “The American people
are not always right but give them time
and they will wobble right,” she quoted.
“Our people’do not always know what they.
want... The aim of ‘the greatest good to
the greatest number’ is lost sight of in the
moods and emotions of the political drama.
No intelligent man or woman can exempt
himself, therefore, from political service
without corresponding loss in the welfare .
of his country.. -For intelligence there is
no divine right to privilege, but there is
divine right to ‘service.”

..Mrs. Catt will lecture at 8.30 tomorrow
evening on “How Politics Function.”
