Harley explains Wilsonian theory
The comprehensive story of the Wilsonian ideals for an adequate world peace organization is told by Dr. J. Eugene Harley, professor of political science, in his book, “Woodrow Wilson Still Lives—His World Peace Ideals Triumphant.”
Dr. Harley evaluates Wilson’s ideas concerning the league of Nations and collective security, quoting tributes made to Wilson by such men as Sumner Welles, Jan Christian Smuts, Charles Evans Hughes, and Cordell Hull.
In showing how Wilson predicted that the world would fight another war if some lasting peace organization were not set up, Dr. Harley’s book quotes a speech the late president made to the senate in 1919.
“ . . . the world must be given peace. If there was not the will or the intelligence to accomplish that now, there must be another and a final war, and the world must be swept clean of every power that could renew terror,” Wilson said.
An introduction to the book was written by Eleanor Wilson Mc-*Continued on. Page Four;
With the spring term's inter-sorority competition for sales in the Victory Hut begun, Mary Kirschner, stamps and bonds chairman, announced that SC would try to exceed the $132,746.65 total established during tihe Fourth War Loan drive.
Zeta Tau Alpha sorority is in charge of stamp and bond sales in the Victory Hut this week. Each of the 14 sororities on campus will have a week’s turn in the Victory Hut, with the Gamma Phi Betas scheduled to lead stamp and bond sales next week.
MI realize that students hare many obligations while in college,” said Miss Kirschner, “but if everyone would cooperate and fill stamp books, SC coaid surpass its previous records. The monetary loss would not be greatly felt, and the student would have saved money.** *
Interested friends of the university who purchase bonds through banks may obtain white credit slips showing the amount sold. These white slips may be turned in at the Victory Hut or to Miss Kirschner and credited to SC sales.
As the quota for the Fourth War Loan. was $100,000 and SC exceeded it by over 50 per cent, Miss Kirschner feels certain that “Trojan spirit can do it again.”
