Hambly of the c’l‘assé‘ of 1923 is one of on? three persons: in the country to hol secretary\ for the Junior League. Miss Hambly is placement sec- umbus, Ohio. Her work is to direct the Junior League program of vol- unteer service in the community. This means making contacts with the various social agencies to line up openings for vfuntecrs, inter- viewing the seventy-odd active members of the League to determine their various interests and abilities, and then Placing\ t'hern in the volun- | teer jobs that suit them best. It includes, also, follow-up work with the girls and the agencies, and as- sisting with the educational pro- ram of the League in the welfare held. The Columbus Junior League is giving volunteer service in twenty! social agencies and at the Art Gal- lery. , Besides the specific work with the League, Miss Hambly takes an ac- tive part in the general social work program of the community, and for the past five years has been chair-| man of a Case Committee of the Children's Division of the Council She is also a member of the National Committee on Volun- teers in Social Work which is made up. of about twenty lay and pro- fessional people from various sec- Miss Hambly finds the work with the Junior League interesting and stimulating. It brings her into con- tact with large numbers of both pro- fessional and lay people, and chal- lenges her initiative, as there is lit- tle precedent to follow. So far as we know there are at present only two other Junior Leagues besides the one in Columbus which have professional placement secretaries. Ii‘he idea is spreading, however, and several Leagues are now considering such a plan. Before entering upon her present work about a year ago, Miss Ham- bly was County Sectetary of the Children's Aid Society of Lehigh] County, Pa., with headquarters in Allentown, Pa.

One applying the whole meaning of a: Christian would take it quite serious- ly as applying to his own life. 'She showed that two statements of Jésus, \I have given you an example\ and: \Follow me\ could be successfully ‘ applied in our own lives, While our problems today are different from the ones that faced Jesus, there are some fundamental convictions of Jesus that can still function in our society. One im- portant belief to Jesus was his con- viction about God. He accepted; him as one whom he needed. His conviction about prayer was a second important belief to Jesus: In prayer he tried to establish his essential oneness with God, since our very nature is made up of physical and spiritual needs. The third be- lief, in regard to the relationship be- tween man and man, she illustrased by using a quotation from one of Baron Von Hugo's letters to his niece in which he wrote, \Caring matters most\. In conclusion she stressed the fact that while one most always comes up to his best in a time of crisis, it was really the way one lived from day to day that showed his Christian characteristics. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 6 Dr. Marjorie Greenbie spoke in chapel on Wednesday on \The Busi- ness World Today and Its Oppor- tunities,\ She advised us to look forward to training that would help us throughout life. While college| was excellent for developing our ideas and attitudes, it had very little connection with the world today, except to teach many miscellaneous facts. We live by buying, selling, and creating new things. - She showed how radio jobs have develop- ed, whereas about twenty years ago a radio was. practically unheard of. Her advice is to fin! some simple technique which can act as an en- tering wedge into other kinds of work. Such courses as buying, decora, ting, or commercial art, and train- ing to be entertainers in a dramatic or musical way, require many quali- ties that are quite independent of any real talent. The training is hard and the comptition is terrific. Dr. Greenbie said, however, that there is a demand for professional other forms of activity,- FRIDAY, NOVEMBER i faculty went to India last gcar to visit her mother and sister, but she; things about which she told us in ing in the study rooms is onrbidden.‘ | Qflbison. spent [flier chlldhood days m [[India and compared the India| [found.

However, the Indians feel that this bill is giv- ing nothing to them. Why is there this hard feeling in India today? The Indians feel that England is not to be trusted, be- cause in Certain Cases, England has been unscrupulous in some of its dealings. Charles Sanford, in his book \Farewell to India\ said: \We are hated in India today.\ The. 'difficulty is chiefly social, Miss Or- bison thinks. The English don't know how to deal with the Indians. Miss Orbison outlined Ghandi's program for the rejuvenation of In- dia. There are five main things for which Ghandi strives: (1) removal 'of untouchability, (2) a Hindu- Moslem union, (3) independence, brought about by non-violence, (4) prohibition, (5) an equality for men and women. What are the contributions which India, free and independent, could give to the West? Professor Orbi- son mentioned three qualities of In- genius\ and (3) a naturalness of response, which we in the West lack because we wear a \mask of .conventionality.\ __ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25th Dr. H. A. Hamilton spoke on Inauguration in chapel on Friday, October 25th. He explained the significance of the caps and gowns, 'with their various colored hoods which our faculty members wore in the inaugural procession. - Some colors indicate different degrees; some, different institutions and de- partments of learning. Dr. Hamilton also explained the significance of inaugural ceremonies. 'Mrs. Frederick B.
