6 The Campus Mirror Pierre De Lanux (Continued from Page 1) 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. Atlanta University Receives Gift of Paintings A gift of the College Art Reference Set from the Carnegie Corporation to Atlanta University has just been announced by Dr. John Hope, president of the University. The set comprises a collection of over 5,000 pho tographic reproductions of masterpieces of painting, sculpture and architecture, cover ing every significant art movement, and is valued at $5,000. The set was designed by a committee of the College Art Association, and the Carnegie Corporation has co-op erated in its distribution in order to pro mote the study of art. The photographs vary in size and include reproductions from the minute detail of sections of architecture, sculpture and stained glass windows, to black and white prints of cathedrals and copies in color of world famous paintings. Each copy bears the notation of the title, artist, date, classification, materials used, and the present location of the piece, mak ing the collection an illustrated history of ai t. The set is housed in the exhibition room of the Atlanta University Library for the use of students in art. Dr. Hope considers the university exceedingly fortunate to re ceive this gift. So do we all! Program for Education (Continued from Page .1) 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. Graduate of Spelman Receives Degree in Home Economics Miss Willie L. Reese, graduate of Spel man College, was listed among the forty women of the Negro race who have re ceived the “masters degree in home eco nomics” from reputable American colleges and universities as compiled in January, 1933 by President John W. Davis of West irginia State College, Institute, West Vir ginia. Miss Reese is one of three Georgia wom en to receive such a degree. Baroness Ishimoto Visits Spelman One of the most outstanding visitors on the campus during the month of February was Baroness Shidzuye Ishimoto, who is the leading feminist of Japan and a developer of educational opportunities for women in that country. Baroness Ishimoto is a leader of the lib eral movement for equal rights for women in Japan. American Avomen, said the baroness, have much to be proud of. In her charming man ners of the East, Baroness Ishimoto ex pressed her fondness for American people. 1 i T. E. LAUGHRIDGE (Member of Volunteer Stores) Groceries, Fresh Meats, Fruits, Sandwich Meats TELEPHONE RA 9258 i j 801 North Lawn St., S.W., cor. Lee j ATLANTA, GEORGIA [ 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. V oodson of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in Washington, I). C. Hubert Herring (Continued from Page 3) 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.
