'The following article from Richmond Collegian.will be interest to the friends of Dr. C. 3(itciell,former president the University: There has been no more. far hing and wider gain de this year than the inment of the services of . S. C, Mftchell as head of o Department of History and litical Science. After an sence of many years, this nored and lovable friend has turned to our midst and we lcome him with open..hearts. To most of the students Dr. tchell is personally un o*n, but his reputation is 't. And, furthermore, it is ly a question of days before will be to us as he was to er classes of by-gone days earned teacher and a lovable end. -Already the winning rsonality of the man has de itself felt and the Col an feels greatly honored in yng this tribute to the rth of a man who has been inestimable value to our at institution in the past and e whom the University of hmond takes especial pride numbering among its corps instructors.

Moreover, the votes of British colonies could never by any 'pos sibility hurt us because we have an absolute veto on any measure concerning ourselves. Majority vote is not the rule of the League but -unanimity. The League does not prevent boundaries being changed but only prevent their being changed by war by external aggression. In fact it provides much needed machinery for changing boun daries by arbitration, and it does not interfere in internal revo lutions. . Some critics objected to the first tentative draft of the League on the ground that it in terfered with the Monroe Doc trine. It didn't, yet, to silence criticism a specific referenoe to the Monroe Doctrine was insert ed in the final draft. As it waq, Theodore Roosevelt once told Germany to keep out of Venezuela or he would use our warships, and previously Giover Cleveland told England essen tially the same thing. In both cases we were saved the use of force because we were known to be willing if need be to use it. And for a century since Monroe we have never had to fire a shot, just because it was known we were ready to do so. Theodore Roosevelt said : "The nations should agree on certain rights which should not be ques tioned, such as territorial inte grity. All should guarantee each of their number in the posses sion of these rights. They should furthermore agree, not only to abide, each of them, by the de cision of the Court, but all of them to unite with their military forces, to enforce the decree of the Court as against any recal citrant member.' Under these circumstances it would be real and effective. It would be im possible to say that such an agreement would at once and permanently stop war,- but it would mark an important ad vance. It would certainly mean that the chances of war were minimized.-For it will mean that at last a long stride has been taken in the efforts to put the collective strength of civ ilized mankind behind the col lective purpose of mankind to secure the peace of righteous ness, the peace of fustice, among the natiorfm of the earth." As Mr. Hoover, who closely follows Mr. Taft, has' recently said, our adhesion to the Treaty of Versailles is a necessity. And, if we reject the League we shall have to reject the whole treaty. Again, if we reject the Treaty we lose all claim to indemnity. These three reasons for voting for Cox and Roosevelt, namely, (1) to insure our entering the League, (2) tp check the Senate oligarch&y, and (3) to uphold the honor of the nation, are the great and compelling ones. A vote for Hardingr is really Wi ngh 14 COLLEGE DIRECTORY W. S. Currell, Ph. D., President. Senior Class. A. ,I. Beck, President. A. J. McDavid, Secretary. Junior Cldss. W. C. McCall, President. L.
