POLICEWOMEN START TODAY
Lecture Series of Four Topics To Be Given By Miss H. D. Pigeon.
Coming to the University of Southern California from lecture engagements throughout the country, Miss Helen D. Pigeon, executive secretary of the International Association of Policewomen, will conduct a cries of four lectures at S. C. beginning today, at 4 P. M.
The theme of her lecture series is to be “The Service of Policewomen in the United States” and the opening lecture will be on “The History and Development of the Policewomen’s Movement; Its Social Significance.” On Monday, July 25, she will talk on “Organization and Personnel of Policewomen,” and on Wednesday afternoon her subject will be “The Duties of Policewomen.” Her concluding talk of the series will be given on Friday, July 29, entitled “Constructive and Preventive Service by Policewomen.”
Miss Pigeon, who is making a tour of the United States to stimulate interest in the association’s work in raising the standards of women seeking to serve in the protective departments, was the first Boston worker appointed by the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities, where she had practical exper-ince in supervising places of public recreation and in dealing with the cases of women and girls. She is a graduate of Radcliffe College, Simmons College of Social Work, and has taken graduate work at Clark College.
Seattle, Portland, and Berkeley were visited by Miss Pigeon on her western speaking tour. This eminent social worker left her headquarters in Washington on June 13 and on June 16 she addressed the police chiefs and sheriffs of the northwest at an anti-crime convention at Nelson, B. C. on “The Policewoman as an Agent in the Prevention of Crime and Delinquency.”
According to Miss Pigeon, the In* ternational Association of Policewomen is undertaking the organization of a lay membership, with hopes of securing 1000 sponsors, women of prestige in all parts of the country. Each state is assigned a definite quota which is secured under the leadership of a state chairman. Among the women of note who have already become chairmen and sponsors are Lady As tor, Mrs. Haley Fiske, Mrs. Alice Ames Winter, Mrs. Josophine Daniels, Mrs. Robert Lansing, Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip, Mrs. Gifford Pinchot, Mrs. Medill McCormick, and Mrs. William B. Borah.
AT TWIN CEDAR
Special Music With Talks By Visiting Members Feature Evening’s Program.
Twin Cedars Inn was the scene o* the History and Political Science Society banquet last Monday evening in honor of the visiting professors in the Department Judge Mower, Dr. Latane, and Dr. Benjamin were the guests of honor. Professor Harley of the Political Science department acted as toastmaster for the evening.
Special music was rendered by Miss Gore who played one of her own compositions and several other selections. Mies Lee sang, “It’s only a Tiny* Garden,” and “Dream Children.” Miss Gore accompanied Miss Lee.
After introducing some prominent members, past and present, of the History and Political Sci'ence, the toastmtster introduced Dr. Benjamin of Iowa. In the course of his brief address, Dr. Benjamin said that it was.... unfortunate that the lecture classes were se large. It was impossible for professor and student to know each other. Too, he emphasized the imporatnce of reading history.
Judge Mower from the University of Vermont in his address called attention to the fact that Aristotle called political science the all-embracing science. Judge Mower said that the attempt to make political science a science was hopeful, and the freedom of modern criticism of the functions of government showed that we were advancing in progress. He suggested the idea of comparing our government with modern democacries, in view of the lact that all democracies are faced with the same problems. The hopeful thing about the political situation, according to Mower is the great number of students studying in the foreign field, and international affairs.
Dr. Latane spoke in a reminiscent vein. He commented on John Hopkins University at great length and said that there was less teaching in the graduate school of John Hopkins and more research and discussion of the subjects. Commenting on the League of Nations he said ,“We are in the center of World politics, aloof from the League and Court, and it would be political suicide ofr anyone to come out in the open and favor the League.” He pointed out the fact that even if we were out of the League officially, we were in the capacity of observers, advisers, and commissioners etc., and referred to Charles Evan Hughes as being referred to as the secretary of Petroleum by the European diplomats. In ocn-clusion he said that we ought to build up an enlightened public opinion and let the American People know the real truth of our foreign relations.

Dr. Mims a Thinker.
Dr. Benjamin Has Vision.
The Price of a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa is—High! It ought to be, since that organization is the order which represents the highest honor a student can achieve while taking Liberal Arts courses. For some time now, Southern California has been making strenous efforts to secure a chapter on her campus. Entrance requirements have been raised, a women’s dormitory built, new building constructed, conditions of remaining in S. C. raised, noted professors brought to the halls of Troy and the range of courses greatly increased.
SENIORS SELF-SUPPORTING
“And I earned my way through college.” So reads the autobiography of the self-made man ,the American ideal.
Among the hundreds of graduating seniors last June, there were scores of men, and a few women, who literally earned their diplomas by four yeaj*s of self-support, who at the same time figured prominently in campus life, and who maintained high sclu^r*^hip.
In the percentage of self-supporting seniors the professional school leads the list, Law School estimating its number at 30 per cent, Commerce showing 20 per cent, and Engineer* ing 25 per cent. Liberal Arts figured only 6 per cent of its seniors as totally self-supporting.
“I did not find it hard,” responded
By BETTY BAKER
the majority of those interviewed and added their account of their experiences by saying, “I believe I have gotten more out of my four years by working than I would have otherwise.”
Looking down the list of “prominents” in the senior class there appear among others the following men who check one hundred per cent as their expenses earned since 1923: Arthur Syvertson, Waldo Reinoehl, Elwood Smith, H. Jeffery Smith, Clayton Pickup, Bill Friend, Moody Kilgore, Don Cook, Magdalena Abaya, Ardis M. Walker, Howard B. Chad-sey, William Morehouse, Scott Crae-ger, Carl V. Green, George Orms-by and Edward S. Bernard.
It was a noticeable fact that prac-rContinued on Page Three)
Qne of the prime prerequisites is a library euipped with numerous books, and especially works which cover the courses offered in Liberal Arts in a* definite and complete manner. The library on the Trojan campus was one of the first quarters visited by the representatives of Phi Beta Kappa, on their recent visit. Their comment was not ot the highest praise.
Realizing the importance of a splendid library, the Administration is commanding every power at their disposal to increase the number of volumes, and especially the well known classics. We are told by the librarian that any student or professor desiring a book which is not on the shelves, should^notify the library. Such books will be ordered and thus bring to Southern California books wThich are needed to furnish information on courses now being offered. The library also carries a large number of books that are fiction. The library force, with the Administration, is anxious to improve the library and has asked frankly that students and professors co-operate with them in their efforts.

If every institution had men who think like Dr. Edwin Mims

of Vanderbilt University does, students wTould be given more of real “stuff” which is needed to make a worth while life. His address last Tuesday was one ot the most forceful and far-seeing speeches that has been given for some time in any educational group. Dr. Mims hit the point that this column took on the question of Botany and other subjects which try by every possible man-nei to confine the student to one* little narrow’ viewpoint, and thus shut off any possible knowledge, or appreciation which might be injected into the lecture.
