the world as a whole should not be prone
to say that the League is accomplishing
nothing. One thing is sure; no one would be
safe in case of another war.
Through the League people have been
brought to better understanding of each
other. It has not intended to make a new
world. The League has a place to meet and
a method of work. It is gradually coming
to have an international spirit. Without
trying to make people different, it is de
veloping the will for peace in every coun
try. People are becoming aware of the fact
that safetv for one necessitates safety for
all.
He said it is childish to say that nothing
good has been done—that we need to start
new. There is value in much that has been
done, and improvement of past procedure is
less wasteful than to try to start new, as
if good work had not already been done.
Concerning the economic situation, he
said, the entire world tends to be divided
into two classes: those with money and those
who do not have even the necessities of
life. Not everything is to be won by money,
and there are other things to attain than
high standards of living. We need rather to
stabilize our standards of living than to
continue to place them higher. Something
will have to be done to break the great
gap between the rich and the poor or else
there will come an uprising of the poor
against the rich.
Monsieur De Lanux concluded by stating,
the whole world is interdependent; we are
only safe as long as the whole world is
safe.

but is what the people have wanted all the
time.
Then Mr. Hutchins explained to us the
idea of a Utopian school. The first work
would be completed in six years, and the
next preparation in three years, followed by
three more years at the end of which time
those not wishing to go to University should
go to a technical school at public expense
and parallel to this would lie college for the
scholarly.
At eighteen or twenty those who are
scholarly after completing twelve years of
study should be allowed to go to the uni
versity. No one should be allowed to enter
university unless he has scholarship for a
scholarly atmosphere.
The scheme would give this country the
same type of school as the gymnasium in
Germany and the lycee in France, both of
which prepare for the university. Then the
American university can have the high
standards it should have and will deserve
the name.
Thus, this solution might give the Amer
ican youth the kind of education needed and
light may yet flourish and guide our people.

Additions to University
E acuity
Announcement has been made by Presi
dent -John Hope of Atlanta University of
the appointment of two new members to
the faculty for the coming academic year:
Mr. William 11. Dean, Jr., in the Depart
ment of Economics and Mr. Rayford W
Logan in the Department of History.
Mr. Dean Avas graduated from Bowdoin
College in 1930 where he was a member of
Phi Beta Kappa, and continued his studies
at Harvard. At the close of his first
year his record Avas so outstanding that
he Avas awarded the Henry Lee Fellowship
in Economics, the highest award the De
partment had at its disposal and the first
time it had ever been awarded to a colored
student. Since the Henry Lee FelloAvship
is rarely renewed Mr. Dean av:is not eligible
for it the following year but instead he
Avas awarded another fellowship of almost
equal value.
In speaking of his Avork, Professor
Charles J. Bullock of Harvard University
says: “I believe I am making a very con
servative statement when I say that in
point of natural ability and scholarly ac
complishment, he is entitled to be ranked
among the three or four most distinguished
colored students that Ave have ever sent
out from Harvard College Graduate School
of Arts and Sciences.”
Mr. Logan Avas graduated with honors from
Williams College in 1917 where he was a
member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society
and winner of the DeAvey Prize for Com
mencement Orations. After attending the
Institute of Politics at WilliamstoAvn in
1928, he received the degree of Master of
Arts from Williams in 1929 and from Har
vard in 1932. Mr. Logan last year com
pleted the tAvo years of residence study
required at Harvard toward his Doctor’s
degree in history. While a member of the
faculty at Virginia Union University he
made an extensive study of Negro history
and has from time to time been a con
tributor of magazine articles to The Na
tion, The World Tomorrow, The Journal of
Negro History, Crisis, Opportunity, and
The Southern Workman. At present, Mr.
Logan is associated with Dr. Carter G.

of Negro Life and History in Washington,

back with reverence to the rule of Touis-
sant Louverture much as Americans look
back to the rule of Washington.
Cuba, to which the United States claims
that she has granted freedom, still feels
little tied to the desires of the United States
because that country only grants her the
freedom to do the wishes of the United
States. It is the belief of Mr. Herring that
the United States is throttling all the de
sires of these peoples.
