Professor Trimble

Addresses Meeting
Of Optomist Club

Dr. E. G. Trimble, assistant professor of political science, was the
principal speaker Saturday evening
at the regular dinner meeting of
the Lexington Optimist club. His
topic concerned the causes of international conflict and the possible
consequences to the United States
of the Far Eastern situation.
That China offers a front line of
defense against Russia, and is also
a valuable source of natural resources was Dr. Trimble's opinion
on the reason for the Chinese-Japane- se
conflict.
Ha added that Japan's weak
economic position makes it unlikely
that she can ever completely conquer China. He stated that a boycott of Japan by the United States
might halt the Japanese invasion.
Two courses are open to the
United States, he continued. It may
oppose the invasion, or adopt a
policy of complete isolation as provided in the neutrality act.

to obtain college education.

king abdicating and a complete outsider winning the Grand National and everything. They really deserve something letter
than having their soldiers shot in China. The
Jaj. don't seem to appreciate England's position
though. They keep on shooting Britishers and
Anthony Eden keeps demanding things. The
statement has been made, and it sounded authoritative, that if diplomatic relations
any more involved, England will have to fight
Christmas. This may seem a bit sensational, but it's true and if you have noticed it,
jecple are taking more interest in the military
department than ever before. They are asking
questions and that is bad. Whenever people
start asking questions it is definitely bad. We
hate to get serious even for one paragraph, but
the thing worries us.

It seems that the fraternities have a file in
which they keep all material pertaining to
courses on the campus. They have
final examinations, etc., and whenever one of
ihe brothers finds himself in need of any instruction he merely presents himself to the
keejer of the file (they have a keej)er) and says,
"I should like to have access to the files, sir." It
is a sort of an "Open sesame" affair for when he
says the words, lo!' he has the wisdom of the
ages before him! The thing bears investigation,
at least.

Judging from these statistics, the fact that
character and the closely related traits of health
and disjdisition play the prominent role in the
selection of a husband and wife, it becomes
evident that the faculty of this University has
successful in culminating one phase of
their aim.
But what of the matter of independent thinking? Docs the fatt that education, business
placed further
ability, and religion have
down in the list indicate any sign of thinking?
Dims the fact that students have relegated the
desiie for children to last place indicate any
sin of intelligent thinking? Is it not iniortant
to piojogate the intelligent race? Or does it,
jKihaps, mean that the students have acquired
the necessary confidence in themselves and have
made those oints of secondary imjxjrtance in
their mates?
It would le extremely interesting to note the
;m nude of the student body through the stages
l development.
It tould lie determined by asking students lo classify themselves on these
xints dining their four years of college life. It
would le worthwhile to lake time during a class
lo make this classification.
In that way it could le determined whether
the student outlook has matured during their
inloi matie stage.

extra supports were built into the
walls in preparation for the big
