German So Here This A German sociologist is t semester. He is Dr. Gerhard Wurzl at a school of education in HE lecturer in sociology at the Ui Prof. Schmitt Speaks On Wilson To History Club It was President Woodrow Wil son who guided American policy and made the decisions for the United States in World War I, Pro fessor Bernadotte E. Schmitt told the Graduate History Club in a speech on the First World War. Professor Schmitt spoke to the group at. the Faculty Club on Thursday, March 8. A visiting professor in the his tory department, he taught at the University of Chicago before re tiring. After leaving Chicago, he worked for the United States State Department. "While he listened to other opinions and sought advice and ob tained all possible information," Prof. Schmitt said, "in the last analysis it was he, sitting at his own private typewriter in his pri vate room in the White House, who decided what should or should not be done." In reference to American foreign policy during the years 1914 to 11117, I'rof. Schmitt put forward thlree points about Wilson. First, he said, "Wilson was the last per son in the country, perhaps, to be convinced of the necessity of war." Second, "Wilson never let his per sonal sentiments affect his official thinking." Finally, he said the Iresident "had a profound convic tion in the power of words." lit mentioning the forces leading to war, Prof. Schmitt said that Wilson paid most attention to his secretary of state -- first William Jennings Bryan, then later, Rob ert Lansing. Most people had their minds made up about the war in Angist 1914, he stated. According to 'rof. Schmitt, one of tle factors which turned Ameri can sentiment against Gernmany was that of propaganda. Heo stated that the other factors turning setinent against Germany were activities of German agents in the United States and submarine warfare. le said there was no doubt that Wilson was re-elected President. on the issue that he kept the country out of war. "Inl spite of all our disappoint ments in 1931) over the failure to bring about a new Europe and a peaceful, orderly world, I, for one, remain absolutely convinced, as I was ini 191'7, that the honor and the initerest of the Ujnite'd States wvere well serDvedl by our entering the wvar," Prof. Schlmitt said in closing.

Then again, what good would this serve if the upperclassmen do nlot acceplt the responsibility and look upon it oinly as a convenient thought? The problems are serious, but they can be solved. Abolishing the Honor System will be a failure in itself, but al blessing in the fact that it will pro tect those who are honest and gret ciologist Semester aching at the University this )acher, professor of sociology ,nover, Germany, and formerly iiversity of Hamburg. - Dr. Wurzbacher is the recipient of an exchange professorship under the Fulbright program and Smith Mundt Act. A graduate of the University of Leipzig, he received his Ph.D. de gree from the University of Berlin. At the University he is teaching a course in "Development of Soci ological Theory" and serving as a guest lecturer in the school of edu cation and department of anthro pology and sociology. "As a professional sociologist, I am grateful for the opportunity of visiting the United States," Dr. Wurzbacher says. "Although Europe is somewhat ahead in sociological theory, the United States is far advanced irn applied sociology. European and American sociologists have much to learn from each other and can work together to attain a synthesis of theory and application." Dr. Wurzbacher says that the United States is unusually interest ing from a sociological point of view because it is a new country where the background of the popu lation is so varied that conflicts of a kind unknown in Europe result. IIe is particularly interested in how the cultural background of in dividuals affect their personality. An ardent believer in the im portance of learning more about foreign countries, Dr. Wurzbacher thinks that "every educated man should study abroad for a year." rid of those persons who take ad vantage of it. It may be that the students here are not really will ing to accept the responsibility of protecting and having an Honor System. If this be the case, what a dark future Carolina has, the state of South Carolina has and the United States has in the hands of such people. l'roficient Honor System The effects that a proficient honor system would have in the University are too numerous to be listed here. Among them would be stronger school spirit, better rela tions among the students, the con tinuation of intellectual growth and the development of mind and character. It is a priceless posses sioi without which we can not properly advance. In essence the next month will determine whether the students of Carolina possess the courage to make - through their own inter est and contributions - a basis for a successful honor system or whether they are content to avoid the issue and do awvay with the Honor Pin ciple. You can help by giving the subject careful and seriouis considerattion and by e'x p)ressinlg it honestly in the poll to be' conducted niext week. Let's work ogether oni this p)roject andi make our system one of which we can be proud antd, when we leave, one of which we can be grateful that we were a part of - or (Io away with the ineffective set-up) that now exists. 640 K.

Dr. Pottle, an authority on Bos well, described the search in his talk on "The History of the Bos well Papers" in the Russell House auditorium Monday night. . Dr. Pottle said that Boswell, "a collection of paradoxes," was a man who felt that he had not com pletely savored life until he had written it down. Believing this, Boswell undertook to record his ideas in a daily confessional jour nal. Best known for his biography of Samuel Johnson, Bpswell wrote ex tensively about his own life in his journal, which his family stub bornly refused to publish long after his death, Dr. Pottle said.
