To the inevitable questions put
to most Americans returning from
the European continent, “What
countries did you like best?” and
“What interesting things did you
see?” President and Mrs. James
P. Brawley of Clark College, just
back from England, France, Italy
■and Switzerland, responded with
a tea for the faculty where they
narrated the most memorable of
their experiences.
The sixty or more guests heard
Dr. Brawley paint word pictures of
the art and architecture of Paris,
Versailles and Rome especially. He
explained with intricate detail, his
visit to Saint Peters and the Cata
combs; to Florence—which appear
ed to him more than any other city
to typify the spirit of the Renaiss
ance, and to England where they
looked upon the white cliffs of
Dover. Before Leonardo daVinci’s
“The Last Supper”, they exper
ienced a new and refreshing mean
ing of the painting and what it
represents. In Switzerland the
towering Alps and their scenery
intensified their already strong be
lief in the omnipotent.
Mrs. Brawley Communicated an
accumulation of impressions as she
described their audience with Pope
Pius XII—obviously their most im
pressionistic experience. In skillful

sitivity she made very real some of
the scenes of Paris and Rome, con
tinental food and European way of
life. While complimentary of Par
isian designers arid fashions, she
did not share the overwhelming
enthusiasm generally accorded the
dress of Paris women. Instead she
reminded American women of their
high standards and sense of fashion.
For both President and Mrs.
Brawley this trip had even added
significance. Mrs. Brawjley’s mas
ter’s thesis was written on Samuel
t
Johnson, and their visit to his Alma
Mater, Pembroke College, gave
new insight into his life.
While studying the Oxford Re
formers as a student at the Univ
ersity of Southern California, Dr.
Brawley became fascinated with
the ancient city of Florence and
yearned to see it. This visit re
kindled his interest and added a
new appreciation for the' cultural
values in the Renaissance.
While in Europe President and
Mrs. Brawley were in attendance at
the Methodist Ecumenical Confer
ence which convened at Oxford,
England. They have been invited
to speak before a number of church
