NATHANIEL SCHMIDT, Cornell University. As a celebration of the birth of Jesus, Christinas seems to be grad- ually disappearing. The name is indeed more popular than ever, but the hero whose advent is celebrated is no longer the Jewish prophet. It is Santa Claus. Whatever the evidence regarding the existence of Jesus there can be no question as to the tremendous challenge the spirit associated with Ilis name presents to the order that prevails in tho world today. In view of the devastating wars between nations and sinister preparations for still more terrible wars, a social system that allows multitudes of men to perish in misery and starvation while enormous wealth is concentrated in private hands, and a deadening formalism and sectarianism in religion, there is need of a prophetic voieg that humanity will recognize as coming from its inmost self.

ENVOY TO IRELAND Chinese Mob Looting British Shop American Colleges of Today Training Youth to Become Submissive Slaves By DR. DONALD J. COWLING, President Carleton College. If our forefathers had been trained in the colleges of today they would have remained submissive subjects to the king of England instead of becoming freemen. This dodging of the liberalizing cultural subjerts, this cl pursuit practical studies by the majority of students, is taking all the spunk out of the younger generation. Our forefathers were able to fight for ideals of liberty in the Revolution only because the colleges of the day were liberal enough to foster such ideals. I i the colleges of today the students are taught to be submissive slaves to those who tyrannize over our personal freedom. When the young people study only practical subjects they forget that there are standards of personal liberty that must be maintained. ed Frederick A.
