Tenth Anniversary--burned and banished books in Europe.
Display of 'Verboten' Books Is In Library
The 10th anniversary of the "Burning of the Books" in Germany is being commemorated on the campus by a display of the forbidden literature which is now on exhibition on the second floor of Watson library. This exhibit was arranged through the suggestion of the joint committee for the restoration of
The "Burning of the Books" took place in Germany on May 10, 1933. Student members of the Nazi party gathered in major cities of the Reich to burn literature which was considered dangerous to the furtherance of Nazi aims. Dr. Goebbels, minister of propaganda, in his speech that day, said, "These flames not only illuminate the end of the old era, they also light up the new. Never before have the young men had so good a right to clean up the debris of the past. If the old men do not understand what is going on, let them grasp that we young men have done it," and explained that the literature was destroyed "... by those who represent a nobler German." In Berlin, 20,000 volumes were burned; in Breslau 5,000 volumes were burned, and in Kiel, 2,000. The University of Munich furnished many of the books from its own library.
Among the authors whose works were burned were Germans such as Einstein, Mann, and Schiller. Milton, Tennyson, and Whitman were among the "non-Aryan" poets whose works were considered anti-Nazi.
Some of the works which at that time were burned, have since been accredited to "Aryan" sources and are used today, but only those which are considered essential for the success of Germany in its various conquests.

(continued from page one) the Navy to its flyers is also offered by the University and the Navy has sent 80 men here to study the airplane and certain technical subjects. Regular Students in Reserve Forces
But the emphasis on war training does not stop with the story of the 1085. Nearly all of the men students attending regular University courses are in some branch of the armed forces on a reserve status.
The Army Enlisted Reserve Corps contains 250 students who will leave at the end of the current semester with possibilities of attending offi- ser's candidate school.
Although the Army Air Corps has supposedly called all its members to active duty 12 men still remain on the campus.
The Marine Corps Reserve and the Signal Corps Reserve each contain 15 members.
Navy Reserve Program Is Largest The Navy under its three reserve programs, V-1, V-5, and VV-7, has the largest enrollment of University students. V-5 members will leave school for training at the end of the current semester. Because of the rigid physical and mental condition required only 12 students are enrolled in this reserve.
The V-7 program has 132 students under its wings. Twenty members of this reserve will report for duty Apil 29 because when they answered a call from the Navy asking members of the V-7 to report for duty voluntarily ahead of their induction date. The remaining members of the V-7 program will be placed in uniform sometime this summer and allowed to continue school until they receive their degree.
V-1 Contains 130 Members
V-1 contains 130 members. Nearly all of these men are freshmen and sophomores and, if they are able to meet naval requirements, will be placed in uniforms and allowed to continue school until they have completed seven semesters.
The last reserve to come before the eye of the University student was the V-12 or A-12 reserve program. This program designed primarily for high school students has a number of University students enrolled in it. Results of qualifying tests have not been announced and so no definite figures are available on the number enrolled in the program.
