In Faculty Meetings|
Students are invited to attend a
series of meetings organized -by
the Dean’s office and members of
the faculty on “Opportunities in
the Major Field in College and
Afterwards.” These meetings, in
the form of fifteen-minute talks by
faculty representatives of various
departments, followed by general
discussion, are designed to present
a clearer picture of the major field
than can be gained by reading the
catalogue for any one year, since
advanced courses, honors. work,
and often even second-year courses
vary by a system of rotation and
in accordance with the needs of
It- is hoped
that freshmen and sophomores will
find the meetings of some _assis-
tance in .making an_ intelligent
choice of a major, while upper
classmen will gain an appreciation
of subjects outside of their own
major and will be able to plan
their allied and elective work more
wisely. Although in most cases
emphasis will be upon the academic
point “of view, ‘there will also be
discussion-of the types of careers ||
and of war service open to stu-
dents who have majored-in_parti-
cular fields. :

Hudson States Faith’
In International Law
For Post-War Period
To extend and hold its gains is
the problem faced by International
Law in the future, stated Dr. Man-
ley O. Hudson in his concluding
lecture of the series on Interna-
tional Law. Dr. Hudson expressed
his faith in the place International
Law would take in the organiza-
tion of the world after the war,
since the emphasis on future inter-
national organization must be
placed on function and not on
structure. We must apply what we
already have at hand to this fun-
tion.
The first function of world or-
ganization would be “to save peo-
ple from exploitation one by an-
other.” This raises colonial, mi-
nority and social justice questions
which we must handle with experi-
ence gained through the League of
Nations, the mandate system, and
minority treaties. International
organization must also protect
free intercourse of people which
we have already attempted through
the Communications Union and
maritime treaties. We are lacking
in agencies for dealing with the
third function . . maintaining
their Activities Drive, no funds:open channels of world trade. We
can utilize the success of interna-
tional law in dealing with the drug
trade and in establishing machin-
ery to suppress admitted abuses.
To deal with the function of settle-
ment of international disputes we
have the experience of the Court
of International Justice and Coun-
cil and Court of the League of Na-
tions, but a new approach to this
problem is necessary.
“There are basic factors that
condition a scheme of international
organization with such functions,”
Dr. Hudson declared. There must
be political freedom for dependent
and independent people, which
raises the question, “Will the great
empires. be restored, and if not,
what will be substituted?” There
must also be economic freedom giv-}-
ing reasonable opportunity for
people to secure their well-being, | :
as well as civic or spiritual free-
dom.
Dr. Hudson based his theories on
United
Nations will have an influence in
the determination of international
organization whatever the out-
come, that there will be the con-
tinuance of state systems known in
the past, and in spite of changes,
the world of the future will not be
altogther different from the one we
knew in the past.
Dr. Hudson stated that he places
his faith in efforts to build a satis-
factory world society and that the
gains of international laws will bé
extended into the universal laws
of an organized world.

Mysterious Bushes Vanish from Cloisters;
Crowded Goldfish Welcome Regained Peace
_ By Barbara Kauffman, ’43
Two or three years ago, non-
committal and.silent, four bushes
appeared around the cloister foun-
tain. No inquiry could unearth
whence or why they had come. No
amount of caustic remarks could
make them-fo. And for an equal
number of years, Freshmen stum-
bled over them on Lantern Night,
while, in the Spring, potential
Katharine Hepburns swam under
their protective shade.
Now? Now they are gone, in
the same mysterious fashion, leav-
Jing no tales behind them—save
four muddy pools on the cloister
lawn. No one knows why they
left, or if any one does, he or she
H..S. Ede, Art Critic,
Will Give Lecture on
National Art Gallery
A lecture on “The National Gal-
lery of Art, Washington, D. C.,”
will be given by H. S. Ede, on Sun-
day at 5:00 P. M., in the Deanery.
Mr. Ede, who was curator at the
National Gallery of British Art
for 15 years, is. well known in
England as a student and critic of
modern painting. His house in
London has been a rendezvous for
artists of every kind, as well as for
others interested in any of the
arts.
Mr. Ede is the author of Savage
Messiah, a biography of Henri
Gaudier-Brzeska, which was chosen
by the Book-of-the-Month Club
some years ago and enjoyed a
wide circulation in this country as
well-as-in-England.—_In--addition,
Mr. ‘Ede has written a book. on
Florentine Drawings of the -Fif-
teenth Century, and a number of
his articles have appeared in the
Burlington Magazine and other
leading art journals.
Under the auspices of The Insti-
tute of International Education,
Mr. Ede recently made two lecture
tours in America.
is being carefully silent. But
everyone is ready with sugges-
tions: Perhaps the paper shortage,
anticipation of Christmas, or pure
sabotage explain the deficiency.
Some hope that perhaps long
standing censure of them has at
last had effect. There was: never
anything technjcally wrong with
the bushes. Cloi$ters may, it ap-
pe ‘s,_have shrubbery <<. -, of
sorts. But aésthetically, the flora
were a sacrilege. The Cloisters,
one faction contended, were ren-
dered lineless. The Mediaeval
peace produced by symmetry and
stones ‘was __ shattered. Slacks,
chewing gum, Freshman English
classes and cigarettes had not dis-
turbed it then came the
bushes.
Kittens will become cats, . ‘
and bushes will grow. At first
only obtrusive, they became un-
manageable. They’ spread. They
cast shade. They crowded out the
goldfish. They were removed.
And neither these bushes nor
any related to them will return.
Once gone, we know better than to
give them another chance. The
pool will have a border of ivy. The
symmetry will continue again un-
disturbed. Mediaeval peace will
be restored.
