The committee is also undertaking the news release to universities and colleges of articles by prominent men on the topic of prohibition. Such man as Governor John C. Newman, Nielson's Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, and Governor Ritchie of Maryland will be asked to discuss this problem.

Germany Is Refused Admission to League After Special Session
Inanimous Vote for Exclusion Will Bring Subject Before Regular Meeting
Failure must be written on the records of the League as a result of the ten day session which has just ended. Germany has not been entitled to any agreement which provides for European security and peaceful arbitration of disputes between France and Germany. Poland and Germany, and Belgium and Germany, have signed an agreement with Germany's failure to get into the League. These agreements will become effective only with that country's admission. They will remain in abeyance, therefore, until September 2018. Germany may become a League member.
Genva, March 17. The first special session of the League of Nations assembled in the history of the organization adjourned today after unanimous voting to postpone Germany's admission to the League until September when the assembly will meet in regular association.
Since last Monday negotiations have been begun at 9 a.m., to circumvent the Stalemate which was preventing Germany's admission. The German government has expressed a firmed effort to dispose of differences. This effort failed.
Sudden Style Changes Are Noticed on Campus
A flash of brilliant green above another and then another below across the campus it goes, followed by a flash of green on first this one and not one.
"What trick of dame fashion's is, his, that she decrees flashing greenies and hoze to match?" is asked.
“Eirn go braugh,” ‘tis March 17, cries a wearer of the green, and all loyal sons and daughters of didl Ireland are paying homage to the worthy St. Patrick, the one who drove all the makes and toads from the Isle.
The more modest or perhaps those who have less claim to doxylium Irish ancestry wear a bit of shamrock not so conspicuous as the ties, but nevertheless the true national emblem of Ireland.
The shamrock is and probably always will be a mystery to botanists. It cannot properly be called the national flower of Ireland, because only
it cannot properly be called the national flower of Ireland, because only the leaf is used as a backdrop for several flowers of the leaf belongs. It is commonly identified with ordinary white clover but grows more luxuriantly in Ireland because of the moist and equitable climate of the island and the favorable
modern botanists have broken up this old method of classification and arrange them now according to flowers and fruit hence we have several
The shamrock is the only plant famous in antiquity whose modern classification is in dooks. In the time of ancient Egypt these were identified by their leaves and any tri-foliate plant was called "seamorum" or shamrock.
Just which one of these it was whose leaf St. Patrick plucked in his famous theological dispute will probably never be known.
So it is harsh to judge the color scheme of one's attire today for it is probably the outcroping of Irish ancestry demanding recognition.
To an Irishman a shamrock is a shamrock so long as it is green and what carehes he for his botanical classification. In fact, no scheme to maintain the main idea.

College Skeptics Lack Real Vision, Van Dusen States
Few People Make Attempt to Get New Religious View, Speaker Believes
"The trouble with most college re骄ious sketics is that they are trying to deal with an infinite scheme with a small, inadequate intellect," said H. P. Van Dusen in a speech on "What Can We Bee About God?" Tuesday afternoon at Meyl hall.
"A lot of us say we'd give anything for a vital religious faith," he said, "but when we get down to facts we find very few who have read, experted, or tried to gain a new viewpoint.
"Why should we be interested in God anyway?" he asked. He then pointed out that mar's mind is cause and effect, so a reaction to God, and that he has an interest.
Religious Desire Natural
"Of the many college students I have talked to, who professed to be skepsters, I found hardly any of them interested in books in the last year," he continued.
Speaking of the long disputed idea of the conflict of science and religion Mr. Van Dusen said, "There are facts about the universe which run through all science but which must be attributed to some higher divine mind
"It has been science which has driven me to religion," the speaker said. "The pathway to God is not by scientific argument, but by a larger vision; it is not by persuasion, but by appreciation."
extinguishable yearning for truth in life. This instinctive desire (or religion) is natural and necessary, according to the speaker.
"The infinity of magnitude, infinity of complexity, and the absolute orderliness of the world are those conditions incomprehensible for the finite mind.
The discovery of God is not a massaging of new facts, but a real visual of the old facts with understanding eyes, according to Mr. Van Dusen who taught us that "life truth, and appreciate its significance," he said. "Christ lived lifally and understandedly, and the universal response by making his life truthful."
Discovery of God Discussed
At the 8 o'clock meeting of the institute, Mr. Van Dusen spoke of "Why Pray?"
"Religion is the attunement of life to God," he said, and "prayer is one method of attunement. The reason we pray so little is that we live so many times a day. We man prays on his death bed because he is face to face with reality."
He mentioned the desire for food and the fact that food to meet the diet, and the desire for air, with air in the world to meet this desire, and that of sex and love, were also cites for examples of his statement that the desire for prayer and communion was met by actual experience.
In discussing the intuitive quality of prayer, Mr. Van Dusen said, "There is no intuition which is universal, in the sense that all people who have a fact in life to meet it."
Quality of Prayer Discussed
The remaining meetings of the in-
stitute will be held in Myra hall at
today at 4:30 p. m. and at 6 p. m.
when the fellowship dinner followed
by the closing session at 6:45 p. m.

Thomas Hardy will be the subject of the lecture on contemporary English authors to be given Thursday afternoon, at 4:30, in room 258 The lecture will cover both the fiction and the poetry of the great English author.
Open forms followed both the afternoon and evening meetings. Dorcy Lyltau, representing the W, Y M C, A., had charge of the afternoon session, and Dick Hahn of the Y, M presided at the evening's program.
"Another reason for believing in prayer is that prayer is true, because it works," he declared. "With the ex-convict who was being powerless, and a fitness of insight."
Thomas Hardy Is Subject of Freshman English Talk
These lectures are primarily for the benefit of freshmen who do not have an opportunity to read contemporary texts and addition to their scholastic work.
