Isf ue of OcTo BER 1951 Europeans are spiritually and intellectually tired. Thi was my first impression at Salzburg thi ummer. The member of my seminar were a picked group. Included were three Germa:i. philosopher , a German editor, a Swiss hi torian, a Briti h p y­ chologist, an ltalian Jesuit, a Finnish Lutheran pastor a Uutch Catholic student, fo"tr other Swi and Italian student and for good measure, four tudent from Harvard. 1 h.ey were mature and well-111formed. J::Sut the remark of the .t.ur pean about merica were caustic.

Hov long will you continue to exploit siatic coun­ tries in such an imperialistic \11,1ay? As I listened to this combination of true and misleading critici m I felt that they had a familiar ring. Much of '"'hat these men were saying was just what t11e1r tatners haCl said to me twenty-five years ago. The only difference was that to the standard patter oi \ e tern European comments the Russians had added a few new phrase of their own. Then it occurred to me that the real reason for thi resort to tereotypes is that the European is worn out and has no energy left for a vigorous 111tellectual attack on his prob­ lems. A man of 25 or 30 has been for more than half of his life under the threat ot war or in the thick of war itself. He has probably spent many months in a prison camp. tt1s education has been picked up piecemeal. His property has been wiped out by intiat1011. lie suffers from the shortage of food. Hi future is so uncertain that he dare not marry. lie has none of the steadiness or feeling of continuity that is necessary for reflective thought. There are however many evidences cf a change. For example, one finds an intense interest in merica's future. Whether he professes to like \.merica or not, the educated European reads merican books and magazines, listens to American broadcast and rec­

ords, and goes to � merican movies. Where twenty-five years ago he was reading only a few selected and rather unrepresentative merican authors, today he is well versed in our literature. He knows the classics - Emerson, \/[elville, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Mark Twain - practically as well a we do, and he is readmg all he can lay his hands on of Faulkner, Steinbeck, Hemingway, and Fitzgerald. His actual knowledge, in other words, goes much further t�1an his talk and his talk is, I think so confused because he is so apprehensive about what merica may do. To him America is like a young Siegfried, innocent and untrained, who has suddenly been given a sword which if he doesn't watch out, will kill the one who handles it and everyone el e with him. So the European's profession of dislike for thing merican is actually his own \Vay of saying that he realizes that from now on he will have to follow us and he only hopes we know where we are going.

This suggests that in their hearts Europeans are ready to accept _ merican leadership as never before. They are aware of course, that they have profited enormously by Mar­ hall Plan aid. Economic conditions are unquestionably improving. The food 1tuation is better and that in itself is raising morale. As I see it, this opens up a great educational opportunity for us at Col'by.

l.,ssue of OcTOBER 1951 3 THE JULY ISSUE of Redhook maga­ zine included an editorial that said a number of things worth repeating. Entitled " Is This America's Twilight of Honor?", it was written by Roland Irvine Gammon, '37. Editor of See magazine, and frequent contributor of religious pieces to other publications, he begins with a collection of news heads -RED ATOMIC SPIES SENTENCED ...G RAIN FOR I NDIA R IOTS ... KEFAUVER COMMITTEE SPOTLIGHTS MoB R uLE .. . ARMY CADETS CHEATING ... SENATORS ScoRE CORRUPTION IN RFC ... " These crackling headtines," he writes, " recently shattered our com­ placency as they uncovered our creep­ ing crisis in character. Many Ameri­ cans read them as though watching the Twilight of Gods, the crumbling of long-cherished idols and institutions." Roland Gammon proceeds to drive home his point in effectivefashion con­ cluding with two paragraphs which, with his permission, we are quoting in full. "Tragically, in getting and spend­ ing, too many of us waste our higher powers; ignoring neighbor and na­ tional welfare alike, we forget the original American way which saw God - as - love, men - as - brothers, and truth-as-universal; worshiping the god­ dess of getting on, we are victimized even today by the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on a people - faith in things instead of thought, and goods instead of God.

4 COL BY A LUM cs THE SEVENTH ANNUAL Institute for Hospital Administrators was held at Introducing--Dean ERNEST C. MARRINER Colby September 5, 6, 7. Sponsored jointly by the college and the Maine Hospital Association, the Institute has made valuable contribu-

• tions to laymen and specialists alike. During the last two years the In­ stitute has offered special programs for hospital trustees and for women's auxil­ iaries - fields often ignored despite their wide and important influence. Raymond P. Sloan, '46 (Hon. ), Colby trustee, directed the 1951 In­ stitute as he has since its beginning. Theme of the sessions this fall was "Human Relationships in the Hos­ pital. ' A sidelight of the meeting which caught our attention was an eight page article written by Mr. Sloan especially for the conference entitled "Meeting Our E\ eryday Problems." Editor of the American Hospital magazine, he asked one question that seems to us to be related equally to matters outside the hospital field- "Is it not possible that we are becom­ ing problem-minded? " " I am not altogether sure, he wrote, " but that by our very educa­ tional processes we are contributing to this state in which we think in terms of problems. "In our courses in hospital admin­ istration we lay stress on medical staff problems, trustee problems nursing problems. In our magazine we read about the same problems. 'In so doing we are admitting, encouraging perhaps, the idea of prob­ lems. It can be possible that younger people embarking on a hospital career might well feel that if some of these problems about which they have heard failed to materialize something may WELL REl\lEi\IBER well be wrong with them.

There is much more in common be­ tween a Church of England parish and an Episcopal, than there are differences, which is only natural since the latter is a daughter church of the former. St. Saviour's, like St. Joseph's, has a daily service of the Holy Communion in addition to the three services on Sundays. Having to stand daily be­ fore God's altar in the parish church meant that neither Fr. Judd nor I could travel too far from our " adopted " parishes, but we· both were able to make freguent day trips. My greatest impression was the fact that most Church of England folk take their religion for granted. For cen­ turies the Church has acguired endow­ ments through gifts and the returns from these mean that a very large pro­ portion of local church supJ>Ort comes from those good people who so dearly loved the Church that they remem­ bered it in their wills.

The fieldhouse has been re-roofed, additional space added to the Seavern� Field press box, and the baseball field, dedicated at Commencement to Jack Coombs, given a real fact lifting. One of the major drawbacks of effective spring ball practice (Eddie Roundy will tell you!) has been the soggy condition of Coombs Field. The college hopes that the drainage ditch that has been hollowed out in a corner of right field has this problem licked once and for all. In addition the dia­ mond has been spread with several loads of top soil and seeded. A major landscaping underway that will beautify the campus to a degree not yet realized is the elimination of the thoroughfare separating the north end of Miller Library from Fraternity Row. The road has been bulldozed away, walks laid, and grass planted. Once completed there will be a continuous lawn leading from the library all the way to Roberts Union. Hard surfaced walks have been put in as well as around the Memorial flag pole in front of the library. There are only a few walks on the campus still to be surfaced.

ORE THA ON.Eundergraduate poll M in recent years has declared Colby's need for a social center. True, the girls have their Union building, as have the boys, but outside of the Spa, there is no place on the new campus where boys and girls can get together to play cards, dance, visit and relax. Last fall a student committee decided to do something about it. The result of their efforts, a spot called the " Hangout ", has opened in Roberts Union. The college gave permission to use the west wing lounge in Roberts and it has been brightly transformed. The originators of Hangout were Marjorie Austin, '52, Yonkers, New York, Herb Simon, '52, New York City, and Caye Bums, 51, Terre Haute, Indiana. Ann Ryan, '52, Bris­ tol, Connecticut was named chairman of the first committee. A few days after college reconvened Dancing, games, card playing, sociability - here is the center for them.
