$ 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.
