“The unrest in colleges today is a revolt
against boredorh,” ‘declared Mr. Allinson.
“It is a terrible state of affairs when peo-
ple spend time and money on college, and
then tell you that they have: no serious
extra-curriculum interests. In the middle
of July, several Dartmouth men will report
on a survey they have made of American
education, and Mr, Harold Cowley and
Mr. George Pratt will preside over a dis-
cussion of education and student govern-
ment. '
The causes of war and the attempts to
avoid it, and the question of civil rights in
America will also be treated in the course
of the summer.

GENEVA, OR “THE TOUR
OF THE WORLD”
“At Geneva,” writes a French author, “one
can, in less than.two hours and at relatively
slight expense, accomplish the tour of the
world.” For this it is only necessary to be
present at a session of the Assembly ‘of
Nations.” Prior to 1920 Geneva and vicinity
were faforite haunts of American travelers.
The beautiful lake, the clear, crisp air, the
surrounding hills, Mont Blane in the. pink
glow of sunset, and certain historical connec-
tions—all these conspired to bring pilgrims
to Geneva in thé past. All these attributes
are still there. But something has been
added. The League of Nations has taken up
its abode in this famous city. «|
We cannot stop to consider all the conse-
quences of this momentous fact, to examine
the average increase in income of the Geneva
tradesmen since the League came to town, ar
to note in what proportions the tourist trade

at nearby Chamonix has. swelled: What we
know is that Geneva, for at least one
month: in the year, presumably “Septembet,
has become the most important. spat, in the
‘world, or at any rate-important enough to
warrant the strict attention of «all civilized
‘mankind, including both ‘supporters and op-
ponents of the League. To this ancient town

statesmen, politicians who are not statesm@n,
journalists, authors, students and sightseers.
As a spectacle plone this yaried gathering i$
well worth looking at. But for anyone who’
is something more than a gaping tourist
Geneva in September is far more than just
another great sight. It offers a broad and
fascinating experience to all who possess any
interest in international affairs, be their spe-
cial field politics, economics, medicine, educa-
tion,” mangers and customs, *or what-not.
And no group which comes to Geneva has
as fine a chance for development along these
many different lines as that composing the

First of all, there is the League itself. The
Assembly, in which our French friend makes
the tour of the world within twice 60 min-
utes (in comparison with the famous 60
days of Jules Verne), is exceptionally in-
tresting, but after all it is only a small part
of the League. Heavier work is done in the
Council meetings, and the heaviest work of
all in the sessions of the special committees,
In addition the student of the League will -
find much to keep him occupied in investi-
gating the activities of the Secretariat, in
nosing about its immense library. on inter-
national affairs, and-in acquainting himself
with.the world-wide exertions of the Inter-
national Labor Bureau. <1
Some of the most absorbing experiences
of that month at Geneva, however, come
through channels which bear no official re-
lation to the League whatsoever, by means,.
fer instance, of the International Universi-
ties’ Federation for the League of Nations,
This Federation was founded a year or so
ago. to marshal together-in.one. international
body the student League organizations in
every part of the world and to win over,
through education, to the League. This
