Meeting of the Biology Club
The Biology Club held its first regular
monthly meeting in Tapley Science Hall
at 4:00 o’clock on October 13.
The president presented Miss Elizabeth
McKee who spoke on and demonstrated
to the club members the technique of
mounting pictures for laboratory or per
sonal use.
The clear explanations of how and why
each succeeding step followed the pre
vious one and the exactness of the work
challenged the ambitions of each mem
ber present. The mounting of Dupont
game-bird pictures, which were given to
the department hy President Read, is
the next project of the club.
Further plans are that each member
will bring newspaper or magazine clip
pings and pictures of scientific interest
to compile a classified scrapbook which
will be placed in the laboratory.

Fhe Light Goes Out
Perhaps one of the most ironic state
ments concerning the war was one made
by a recent New York columnist who
bemoaned the fate of German soldiers
who died fighting on Polish territory
for Russia’s glory. It sounds the futility
of struggle reminiscent in the words of
a Spelman student who said: “My last
year in school seems such a waste of
energy and effort—there’s no point in
planing for a future with a war in the
offing.” American students planning, hop
ing, plugging through four years of col
lege to have their minds and bodies
torn and twisted by an alien—War—
for the good of another alien—Aggres
sion. They are like fatalists marching
half-heartedly but defiantly toward an
inevitable unknown. As the Y. W. C. A.
student leader said: “American stu
dents cannot conceive of having to go.
like the German Christian students, in
secret—by twos and at half-hour in
tervals—to a Y. W. C. A. meeting. Yet
we know that, as the world stands now.
there is more than a possibility that,
in the not so far distant future. w r e may
find ourselves in the same predicament.”
What a close, narrow, litle spot the
world is after all—mean and brutal,
too. America, so intimately affected by a
European war — 3,000 miles and two
oceans away! Russia’s heavy, clodding
soldiers stumbling over the defenseless
countries of Europe; Hitlerism, secre
tive and pointless, but deadly like the
bombs which burst, and a leering men
ace of liberty-snatching aggressiveness—
these reach tentatively out and touch
American peace and democracy as if the
distance were less than a league. So the
United States must strengthen her army
and navy—and American students must
give up dreams for the future because
there may not be one.
And then there is the story of the
American private in the last world w r ar
who found himself on the front line di
rectly facing German fire. German artil
lery sent shell after shell across the line,
beautiful, explosive shells that made
brilliant white, flashing lights amidst the
smoky cloudiness of the atmosphere
above. Once the private looked up and
caught the swift spangle of lights dotted
now and then with tiny blue spots. He
was overwhelmed at the loveliness of the
sight, and whistled softly, but he said.
“Gee, they make a pretty light but it
goes out so quickly.”
