Mr. Cestre spoke at great length on “The Spirit of the French University.”
“Now that the universities of France are recognized as being among the world’s best,” said the speaker, “it is expected that many Americans will go to France to study.

COLLEGE WOMEN TO FILL
GOVERNMENT POSITIONS
IN ABSENCE OF MEN
U. S. C. MEN WIN DEBATE
George A. Glover, J. D. Porter and fred E. Sublith, representing the University of Southern California College °t Law, defeated the Whittier college ’earn in a debate in the College of Law auditorium. Conscription of labor by j&e government was the subject of the Rebate. The winners were coached by Judge Hugh Neal Wells, head of the abating department of the College of Uw.
Increasing calls from the Government for women to take the places of men has caused the Intercollegiate Intelligence Bureau, in Washington, to establish a division which will place college women and women of college type in positions of war service.
Dr. William McClellan, dean of the Wharton School of Finance of the University of Pennsylvania and Director of the Bureau, announces the appointment of Miss Louise Shepherd of Vassal College to organize this work. Miss Shepherd is the associate warden of Vassar. She will use the experience which she gained in organizing the Vassar Alumnae records and the Vassar College appointment bureau.
Dr. McClellan said: "A number of calls from the government for college men cannot be filled, and women will have to be called upon."

A. Veditz, commercial attaohe of the U. S. Embassy in Paris, has sent word to the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce that he has received inquiries for one thousand of the machines. Firms interested in the sale of sewing machines should apply to Dr. Veditz.
WORDS AND DEEDS TEST OF LOYALTY
Executive Committee of the National Security League Urges Investigation
(From the Patriotic News Service— National Committee of Patriotic Societies, Washington, D. C.)
At the meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Security league held in New York on February 6th, resolutions were passed urging upon presidents and governing boards of American universities and colleges an inquiry into the loyalty of members of their Faculties with a view to the removal of any who are found to be disloyal. Copies of these resolutions are to be forwarded to all university presidents and to the presidents of all alumni organizations.
Must Watch Teachers
University instructors whose loyalty has been in question, are particularly apt to be found teaching the German language or literature, and though the greater number are German-American, it would be a great mistake to assume that loyalty is determined by ancestry. Among the German-American professors teaching German are to be found some of the staunchest patriots, whereas in other departments than German are men whose non-German American citizenship extends back into Colonial times, but who are as much the Kaiser’s aids as those marching with his army. All tests of loyalty should therefore be based upon words and deeds alone.
One reason for the concentration of disloyalty within the German depart ment of our American universities, is that now for a number of years tt has been in vogue to teach German through the Realien or the Anschau-ungspunkt, that is to say, the German way of looking at things, or in plain language, Kultur.
The methods of conducting such propaganda, familiar to those who have watched it from state universities in the Middle West, have been for the German professor to arrange for lectures on some special German topic, or merely German culture, where pos sible in the German language; and to a very large extent, the Lutheran pastors and Catholic priests in charge of German parochial schools have been the coadjutors in this movement. In one state in which the Sons of the American Revolution was presided over by a pacifist, this state organization has been extensively used for German propaganda through making the head of the German propaganda in the state the “State Manager of Americanization Movement.”
Pro-Germans Active In Colleges
Pro-German activities within our universities assumed entirely different character with our own entry into the war. Before we had declared that a state of war existed with Germany, some professors were most outspoken in their German sympathies and freely made use of their class-rooms to conduct German propaganda. Our government was discredited for not having put an embargo upon the shipment of munitions; the rape of Belgium was defended; and German superiority and efficiency were extolled. Those bold spirits among their students who dared offer defense of the allied countries, did so at the risk of being marked down in scholarship. It is freely reported of one professor that he sold tickets in his class-room for the lecture given by the Kaiser’s special representative in this country and indirect-

STANFORD MEET IS VAGUE POSSIBILITY
While there has been much talk recently on the probability of a track meet with Stanford no such event is likely to be held. In tho first place, a reason for not holding the contest is the fact that U. S. C. would probably lose several hundred dollars on the deal which could be used to good advantage in other ways. Moreover, Stanford will not take our team north, paying the expenses. Again, the date on which Stanford would come here is the same date on which the big city meet is scheduled to be held on Bovard field, March 23. For these reasons the Stanford project is practically destined to an early grave, according to the powers that be.
New Star Perry’s specialty is the 440 in the sprints, while he is also a “demon” in the high and broad jump. He was a member of Poly’s championship relay team last year. Perry beat Big Bill Isenhouer twice ln the 440, the 440 being considered Big Bill’s favorite. He won from Isenhouer the first time at the city meet and again in the state meet at Berkeley.
Belgian Babies To Get Old Trojans?
FOOTBALL MEN TO GET AWARDS AT BIG RALLY
Well-Known Speaker Will Deliver Principal Address of the Morning
32 MEN GET LETTERS
Post Season Football Rally to Be Annual Event at the University
The students have responded nobly to the appeal of the salvage department of the Red Cross. The contributions placed in the salvage box, which is located near the stage entrance to the chapel, are indeed wonderful. As a proof of the overwhelming generosity of the American university student are many things donated which were not specified on the Red Cross placard as needed to raipe money for Belgian babies. Such personally precious things as chewing gum and old Trojans have been unflinchingly given to aid ln this work of charity.
A partial investigation of the salvage box (to a depth of 7 inches) revealed some of the war gifts. Here is the record of Belf-sacriflce:
1 Scotch plaid cap.
1	Evening Herald (well read).
5 Rubbers.
2	3V&x30 inch tires.
1	Copper kettle.
2	Cold cream jars.
1 Hag of bottles and meat cube tins.
3	Dry cell batteries.
1 Coil of hay wire.
5	Feet of rubber tubing.
1 Dead tennis ball.
1 Box of mystery.
3	Spectacle cases.
5	Old Trojans.
1 Brass tube.
4	Typewriter spools.
3	Padlocks.
1	Door stop.
3	Electric fixtures.
2	Packages (contents unknown). Miscellaneous bits of tinfoil, string
and paper.
Dr. James Whitcomb Brougher, well-known Chautauqua speaker and pastor of the Temple Baptist church of Los Angeles, will deliver his famous address, “War Spirit,” at the special assembly Monday morning.
