DR. MORSE LECTURES ON NEGRO PROBLEM Last Lecture of Series At tracts La-ge Audi ence Dr. Josiah Morse gave the last of a course of six lectures on the "Race Problem in the South" in Flinn Hall on Thurs day night, April 18th. Dr. Morse said that he con sidered it a privilege to have given this course of lectures and that he appreciated the in terest the students had taken in it and that he considered c'i that young men with open minds on big questions like the "Race Problem" were the hope of the nation. In closing Dr. Morse said that there were one or two mis conceptions that he wished to clear up. The first was that "we insist in thinking in terms of domination." "This is not an age for domination but for cooperation." he said. "Yon can't dominate another with out hurting yourself more than the orne you dominate. Cooper ation with race integrity is what we want." Dr. Morse made it very plain that the re sponsibility for the mingling of the blood of the two races lies with the white race. The second difficulty that Dr. Morse dealt with is that "what the negro wants is not social equality, but social justice." To solve this problem you, Dr. Morse said, must have sym pathy. "If your heart is sym pathetic to mankind you will see the way." There is another element that enters in, he said, and that.is the element of faith. "You iast have faith. You must believe in the f2 erhood of God and the brotherhood of man." This course given by Dr. Morse has been the most prof itable one of its kind ever given at the university. Dr. Josiah Morse gave his fifth lecture on the "Race Prob lem in the South" at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Wednesday night. Dr. Morse showed that "achievement is a criterion of capacity;" that what race achieves is determined largely by environment; that the races living in tropical climates where food is plentiful have not had to stir themselves as have those living in the colder climates. The negro has lived in an environment which has not demanded great effort on his part. This however, does not prove that he does not have capacity for achievement when necessity demands it. KEITH LIFE MEMBER ALLIANCE FRANCAIS Elected at Annual Conference Held in New York Prof. 0. L. Keith, head of the modern languages depart ment of the university, attend ed a meeting of the Alliance Francaise of the U. S. and Canada held in New York City on Saturday, April 6, at the Plaza hotel. The French am bassador, M. Jusserand, pre sided. Mr. Stephane Lauzanne, who recently visited Columbia, and a number of prominent French officers were present. It is the custom of the alli ance to select each year a man and a woman as life members of the federation. Prof. Keith received a great distinction by having this honor bestowed upon him this year as the fed eration group is very small and select. His appointment is a well deserved tribute to the ex cellent work that he has done in Columbia in organizing a progressive and enthusiastic Circle Francaise, whose mem bership is composed of stu dents and of many prominent Columbians interested in the language and history of the French. The Alliance Francaise is doing a great work in quicken ing the interest of the Ameri can public in French history, French literature and especial ly in the heroic role that the French are playing in the great war drama. ANOTHER EXODUS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS Many Carolina Men Going Into Service Mr. H. D. Steadman has gone home to see if he can not obtain the permission of his local board to join some branch of the service. Mr. S. D. Rogers applied to his local board sometime ago for permission to volunteer, but they would not grant him the privilege, be cause his name was too high on the list, and he was in formed a few days ago that he would have to report at Camp Jackson in May. So he has gone home to have a few moonlight talks with her be fore he reports to the camp, and also to spend a while with his parents. Mr. J. C. Brown has suc ceededi in getting on the reserve list of the navy, and while he is waiting to be called he is at tending school. Two of Carolina's brilliant students have quit school to go to work, namely, Mr. McDan iel and Mr. Rawlinson. 1524 Main St. Phone 1831 Tom Hook I c Clothing and Furnishing Goods S Suits Made to Order Students Welcome AT THE C PALMETTO f RESTAURANT Wingfield's I 1443 Mai The Bank of COLUMBIA.
