The Round Table Sponsors
DECEMBER 1926

The Round Table has brought to the College thus far an array of speakers which have thoroughly justified the efforts of that organization to arouse an interest among the undergraduate body in various topics of wide range. The Rev. Frank B. Gigliotti of Italy gave an interesting address on the present day Italy with an illuminating discussion of the policy and accomplishments of Premier Mussolini.

The Rev. John Roach Straton of New York spoke on "Evolution" from the extreme fundamentalist viewpoint and drew an interest which is reminiscent of Williams Jennings Bryan's visit three years ago. The audience was so large that the meeting had to adjourn from Dartmouth Hall, where it was originally located, to Webster Hall and every nook and crany of the auditorium was filled with eager listeners. Few speakers have left Hanover with as- many dormitory and fraternity house "-bull leagues" in their wake as Dr. Straton.

Professor Hankins of Smith College followed Dr. Straton within a space of two days and presented the other extreme view of Evolution,the mechanistic conception of the theory and its effects on human life and organization.

Issac F. Marcosson, speaking under the auspices of the Political Science department, spoke of his experience in interviewing great personages of international repute and gave as his thesis the opinion that the disorder of the present day in world affairs is due to the lack of enough big men of affairs.

The Arts has just announced its list of visiting speakers which includes: Kenneth MacGown, dramatic critic and producer, Ford Madox Ford, author and collaborator with Conrad, Floyd Dell, American novelist, Alexander Meiklejohn, Professor of philosophy at the University of Wisconsin, Elinor Wylie, poetess, and Stephen Leacock. The Kreymborg Puppet Theatre will appear March 4.
