Universities Fail to Solve Housing Problem--Congdor
Fraternity Members Live Well While Others Occupy Cheap Boarding Houses

We need the Wheaton Congdon, in a recent issue of the Rockefeller Alumni Review.

"The fraternity and sorority houses are an essential part of the housing program," says Congdon. "In order to keep such schools different between the classes."
Should Plan University as City
He compares the planning of a university to the planning of a city of 10,000 inhabitants in which a growth of two or more times that number may be expected.
Differentiation Causes Discontent
Non-fraternity and non-sorrority students become discontented if there is a marked difference between their fraternities and those of the fraternities and sororities, according to a Mr. Congden.

"Need of Nations Mutual Knowledge of One Another"
Westerners Materialistic
National Superiorities and Inferiorities Do Not Exist, Says Hossain
"The first fundamental requisite for any ideal is that it be a human value, equally capable of being shared by all humanity," said Syd Housain in a speech on "Eastern and Western Europe." "The supreme need of our times is for a mutual understanding among nations of the world. They have come together on a physical plane, but how far has there been an approach on a mental plane?" We all have something to learn from one another.
"in the course of evolution of modern Western civilization, the governing principle has been materialism. Side by side with the predominant materialism in the West has been a quest for spiritual things in the East. Of these unconscionably exclusive ideals may be mutually advantageous."
Mr. Hosaina quoted part of the doctrine of Buddha: "My doctrine makes no distinction between the high and the low or the rich and the poor. To him in whom love dwells the whole world is like one family. Hatred is never overcome by hatred. "The nations of Europe have not yet learned this fundamental principle," said Mr. Hosaina. "He told to end war war, appropriately to end peace to end peace. What have we to show today for the sacrifice of the lives of ten million men?"
No Monopoly of Truth
"I agree with Bernard Shaw when he said, 'I have no use for the old tang.' Our hope is in the rising generation. The novel deals not merely for the glory of his nation or reedition of humanity as a whole.
"Too many people think in mutually exclusive terms. There can be no monopoly of the truth. It is as one and indivisible as humanity. There are no such things as national superiorities or national inferiorities. Culture is rather supplementary and complementary.
"The process of focusing our gaze on the demirges of the other side and glorifying the merits on our own side has been going on for many years both in the East and the West," "he speaker continued.
Each Nation is Landmark "The East is a bigger proposition than most people conceive. Each country is a landmark in human civilization. All that humanity has received has come from the East. China as a land of laundrymen who subsist by taking in each other's laundry. The popular notion of India is of a land mainly populated by snake-charmers and fortune tellers, with a competition between elephants and snakes for possession of the country. "A native land may be defined as an island entirely surrounded by foreigners," Mr. Hosain said. "it
"A native land may be defined as an island entirely surrounded by forerunners, a history of ecological moments this fundamental ignorance of nations is disaparent."
