Several members of the faculty were marooned for a short time this summer at the outbreak of the European war, and have been entertaining their friends this autumn with the tales of their various experiences. On the evenings of October 17 and November 14 the members of the Graduate Club listened interestedly to the stories of the "escapes" of Professor Updyke, who was in England at the time of the declaration of war; of Professor Bolser, who was in Switzerland; of Mr. Stearns, who was in Austria and who came out byway of Italy, France, and England after hostilities were well under way; of Professor Colby, who was also in Switzerland; of Mr. Blume, who was in France; and of Mr. Washburn, who was a student at the University of Grenoble. All of these succeeded in getting back to" America without more than temporary inconvenience, but all of them had excellent opportunities to observe the attitudes of the inhabitants of the various nations in which they happened to be when war was declared. These observations were made the subjects of entertaining and enlightening addresses.
