The film includes some magnificent settings done in rep lica of the famous court of France's Louis XIV. In the cast are Conrad Nagel, William Farn um, Cissy Fitzgerald, and Hobart Bosworth. INDIA BEST SUITED TO FEDERAL IDEAL (Continued from Page One) have a powerful influence on the relations between the two peo ples,” the eminent Hindu speaker believes. “India’s higher education has been laboring under extreme diffi culties. The government does not help the universities; therefore, (hey are dependent entirely on student fees and individual contri butions. Yet India has 20 univer sities, one of which, the University of Calcutta, has an enrollment of 20,000 students. The schools are crowded with young men and women who have a real hunger for knowledge. They are poor, many of them desperately so, but they attain the highest of scholas tic honors, some of them continu ing their work at the great uni versities of England and France. "Few of these post-graduate students come to the United States for study, because they cannot get jobs when they go back. The British selection of officials in In dia is partial to the England trained H i n d u, and students trained in the ways of American democracy are not wanted,” Doc tor Nag pointed out. "The story of India's higher ed ucational development is one that Includes the sacrifices of such men as Sir Asutosh Mookerjee, vice chancellor of the University of Calcutta, and founder in 1920 of a science department that was to produce, ten years later, C. V. Raman, 1930 Nobel physics prize winner. Pandit Maleviya, of the Hindu university, at Benares, who went to prison with Gandhi, is an other example. "But the real need Is for a pri mary itnd secondary system. The government offers salaries of from two to four dollars a month, with totally inadequate housing, and expects that to educate the people. “India is fighting for control over tier own revenue, and when she gets it, then education for the masses will be possible. It is the rule of private monopolies over the government of India that Gandhi is opposing. He is probably ready to accept dominion status, but the essence of his goal is India’s con trol over her own finances, her own foreign affairs, and her own army and police force. All India idolizes Gandhi as the personifica , t ion of her ideals, and they will hack him in anything he does; but he is fair-minded in his demands all he asks is a voice for India in India's affairs,” Doctor Nag said.

Smertenko To Recite Greek Choral Poems Selections from Greek drama' with special emphasis on the chor al poems which flourished during the fifth century, B. C., will be read by Mrs. Clara M. Smertenko, associate professor of Latin and Greek, at this Sunday evening’s English reading which will take place from 7:30 to 8:30 in the wo men’s lounge of Gerlinger hall. All tragedy originally came from these choral poems, Mrs. Smer tenko explained. The original poems or songs recounted the suf ferings of the Greek god of wine, Dionysus. Gradually these choral poems developed into plays which were given at the Dionysus festi val which took place every spring. By the fifth century B. C., the poems had become a part of the drama, serving as interludes be tween the action of the play. The chief originators of the Greek tragedies using these choral poems were Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. It is from their : work that Mrs. Smertenko will read. She will read for the most part translations into English made by a number of famous Eng lish poets, but she will also read one or two choral poems in Greek. Fellowships To Be Given By American University — The graduate school - of the American university at Washing ton, D.
