"We are all traveling provincially," Chancellor E. H. Lindley said yesterday in the main address of the first day of the visit, this morning in the Auditorium.

"We have become provincial to our own locality, but not to the outside world as a whole," he said. We, the people of the United States as well as the people of other countries are being living in entirely too small a world. We have been content to live within our own villages." Chancellor Lindley used for the basis of his address his experiences during his tour of Europe last sum-

"England has lost so much," he said, and had a hard time trying to put the nation back on its feet, but they have made it easier to pay their war debt, and seured in making their credit more and more recognized." He said,
