SIX-40-FIVES

The League of Nations formed the principal topic for discussion in the annual series of Six-40-Fives, which came to a close at the end of the second term in March. Ten minute reviews of current events, given by L. D. White of the faculty, preceded every talk, and practically every meeting was given up to some phase of the League of Nations problem.

Prof. A. H. Basye of the History Department spoke February 21 on "The League of Nations and the British Fleet", while the following Friday Prof. C. A. Phillips of the Economics Department discussed "The League of Nations and World Trade." Prof. W. K. Wright dealt with "The League of Nations: Conditions of its Success" on March 7, and Prof. W. C. Shaw brought the series to a close March 14 with a talk on "The League of Nations and the Monroe Doctrine."

Two special speakers conducted Six-40-Fives of an entirely different nature. E. M. Moffatt '09, a missionary from India, gave his impressions of the country in a talk March 2 on "The Land of the Great Mogul." The following Sunday Alden Clark, another missionary, gave a similar lecture entitled "The Call of Armenia."
