DR. GEORGE E. VINCENT
Dr. George E. Vincent, former
president of the Rockefeller Found
ation, will be presented by Town
Hall Intime on Thursday evening,
March 5, at the Atlanta Woman s
Club, as the fourth in a series of
celebrities.
Dr. David Marx will introduce
Dr. Vincent, whose address, “The
Social Role of Humor,” begins at
8:30 P. M„ and will lead the forum
discussion which follows.
Known for his keen wit, Dr. Vin
cent will discuss the nature of hu
mor, its part in group life, its con
trol of the individual, its relaxa
tions of social tension and its value
as a protection against fanaticism.
He is the son of the famous
Bishop John II. Vincent, who with
Louis A. Miller, the father of Mrs.
Thomas A. Edison, founded Chau
tauqua Institution. Dr. Vincent
served for many years as presi
dent of the institution and has,
since 1915, been honorary presi
dent.
While president of the Univer
sity of Minnesota, he did much to
coordinate the schools of that state
by bringing the schools of the ru
ral districts into a closer relation
ship with those of the towns and
cities.
Upon the resignation of John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., Dr. Vincent was
elected to the presidency of the
Rockefeller Foundation, a position
which he held until recently. While
serving as president, it was his aim
and purpose to carry out the pur
pose of Rockefeller Foundation: “to
promote the well-being of mankind
throughout the world.”
The entire audience is invited to
attend the informal reception to be
held in the Ball Room of the At
lanta Woman’s Club immediately
following the Forum, and meet Dr.
Vincent in person.

Jew hath all these pains
own besides.”
“Aye,” said the Lord, More
blessed is the Jew on account of
his own pains. Other men capy
pains against which they can but
cry out, ‘Why are we afflicted by
this?’ for they do not understand.
“The most unhappy are they who
suffer and know not why.
“But the Jew doth know. He sut-
ferethand knoweth that his pain
is for being a Jew, for being faith
ful, O my son! He doth feel the
pain of the sword and the pain^ of
the fire and holdeth his head high
and is unbroken, since he knoweth
that he suffereth for having been
faithful.”
“O my Lord God, Thou meanest
that the Jew hath the better pain?”
“Thou dost understand, my son.
And I saw that the pain of being
a Jew was at least a pain that is to
be suffered with pride and dignity.
What grandeur was in the pains of
other men? They were like whip
ped sheep that knew not for what
reason they were whipped. The
good man who suffered the torture
of his mortal sickness sighed,
“What have I done to deserve
this ?”
But the Jew could understand his
special pain: He had been faithful,
he had guarded certain ideals that
were his inheritance, he had been
himself. For that he suffered.
“O, Lord,” I said, “I am ready to
answer.”
“Which pain dost thou choose,
my son ?”
And I answered: “I take the bet
ter pain which is of being a Jew.”
* * *
So I was born a Jew again, car
rying the pain that is for all men
and my special pain besides. And
when I grew up I went to seek em
ployment at the National Widget
Corporation, and the employment
manager said, “You are Jewish,
aren’t you?” as if he had caught
me in moral turpitude.
I walked from his presence with
a high head, knowing, as I did, why
I suffered this pain.
