DANTE DECLARED FIRST
WORLD-PEACE ADVOCATE
Dr. F. M. Padelford Praises
Author’s Realism
Realism of the finest kind is found
in Dante’s “Divine Comedy,” Dr. F.
M. Padelford, head of the department
of English at the University of Wash
ington, told a group of journalism and
English students at an informal lecture
in alumni hall yesterday morning.
Dante was one of the truest students
of human nature and of life that ever
lived, he said. Dr. Padelford was the
speaker at Thursday’s assembly, when
the 600th anniversary of Dante’s death
the death of the Italian author was
observed.
Dante, when he expressed in his
“Da Monarchia,” (The Monarchy) the
belief that for highest efficiency and
highest, thought universal peace was a
necessity, was the first man in the
modern world to express such appeal,
was the message brought to the stu
dents at yie assembly.
That the commemoration of the
Sixth Centenary of the death of Dante
should be held at the time when dis
armament is being discussed was re
garded as particularly appropriate by
Dr. Padelford. September 14 was the
exact, date of the anniversary, but as
sembly speakers had been arranged for
up until the present timo.
“Dante has influenced people for
centuries, he was characteristic of the
spirit of the Renaissance. The same
spirit of public good and of universal
contribution to the good of posterity
should prevail today,” declared Dr.
Padelford. His subject was announced
as, “Dante and the Renaissance.”
“The Divine Comedy” was charac
terized as a picture of the world as it
actually existed and as revealing many
great truths. Dante was misunder
stood, said the speaker. IIo was not
only a great poet, but a man of high
civic ideals, who sacrificed much for
the city he loved and in return was
exiled. Wo honor Danto as the greatest j
intellect of the Christian centuries, |
the greatest poot, and the greatest, :

SERVICE!
We like to put it in capitals that way
because we believ^ it is the most im
portant thing in the battery business.
Of course we can’t make a new bat
tery out of an old one, or a good bat
tery out of a poor one, or a long-lived
battery out of a short-lived one. There
are limits even to battery service.
But we can make any battery last
longer and serve better if you give us a
chance. We can make the Willard
Threaded Rubber Battery do both—
and it already holds records for long
life and reliability.
We can always do more with a bat
tery if we get a chance right at the
•tart, although we are ready to help
anytime Come in!
Vou’ll say, too, that we give
