Scott, of the Historydepartment, who delivered the thirdof the six lectures on "Why the United States is in the War," before apublic meeting held last night at 7in Mandel hall. The subject -of hisaddress was, "The Passing of Splendid Isolation.""It is impossible for us to live anylonger in our air tight eompartmentof politics; and national life, aeparatp from th�e of Europe and therest of the world," declared Dr. Scott."The great reason for this fact isthat the United States is now a worldpower and being such has legitimateinterests and national affairs throughout the entire world, in every country on the globe. The bamers which �we 12l0ugbt were going to keep us outof the tangle of 'world and 'European-'politics have all been broken dawn.Our interests have become world-widein scope.

But the forces which i'n the beginning allowedus to assmne this ·position of isolation to the rest of the world arenot the same forces which exist today, Changes have taken place geographically, for by the railroad, thesteamship, the cable and the telegrap, the world is bound more closely together than ever. When we assumed our position of national isolation, we thought that the Atlanticocean was a barrier. We thoughtthat Providence had placed it in theway to keep' us out of the scrambleof European politics. With the Atlantic ocean ·between us and the restof the world, we thought that forever we could maintain our isolation. But now the Atlantic ocean isno longer a barrder, We no longeroccupy a position distant from therest of civilization."We thought too, at the ttme whenwe adopted our policy of isolationfrom the rest of the world and noninterference in European politics, thatthe political situation of Europewould continue as it was, and 'Sowould prohibit any inti'macy with us.We thought at the time that reactionary, despotic, unrepresentativegovernment would remain in Europe,but here again circumstances havechanged our whole scope.

Here is theusual line .of attack: a cursory-verycursory-glance at the front �geheadlines as the sheets are eagerlyfingered in search of the 'Sportingpage; a rather critical reading of thenews of the world of sport followedby a few chuckles found in the pa-·per's humorous column, whatever ithappens to be, This done, our average college man gives a second hastyglance at the screamer and the scareheadlines on the front page, and, having satisfied himself that Ty Cobb isstill playing baseball, that B. L T. isstill funny, and that the UnitedStates DS not yet at war With Germany, casts it aside for the day. Theeditorials seldom receive any atten�tion. But, the paper has really beenread. _,-•"Our college man has gotten fromhis hasty 'gbmce at headlines but' afaint rUmble of the internationalstorm which threatens even our ownland.

Our vision must be a world vision-and it is only through a thoroughreading from day to day of the newspaper that we can get this world vi ...monor"It has been said tliat the test of aneducation is the appreciation of analien interest. It is the obligation ofthe college man to society to lead injust this appreciation. Yet, can theaverage student pass the test?"If it has been your habit to givefive minutes daily to newspaper reading, adopt a new schedule and allowan hour-and, if you don't know it,already, you'll find the most lmportant news on the front page.

There is no drill atthat time, and :the Iectures being overby eight, those who attend still havethe whole evening before them."We members of the faculty haveoften been asked by students to express our opinions on the war, andhave felt ourselves rather hamperedin the classrocm, But now when wehave been gUven the opportunity tospeak right out, to.tell how this greatwar has affected us, in hsort, notconfined at all ,by any restrictions, it.seems as if the student body shouldrespond, since it was ·the student bodythat asked fot' vieWs and ideas.Give Personal Reactions."I do not think that the differentsubjects shoul,d fri�ten anyone awayfor each speaker's subject is a verygeneral one, and ibas been chosen Imerely as a center of attack.

The officials advise that those in seareh ofwar material should first- consult themain catalogue in the delivery roomunder . the headings �'Military Artand �ience" and other militaryheadings under allied subjects.It this proves unsatistactory ,theclassed catalogue may be of USIe. Subjects on such topics are elassed underthe letters U and V.

The play was written byProf. Frank J. Miller, ot the Latindepartment and is being given underhis personal direction.It deals with Aeneas' visit to Cat:thage, after seven years of wandering. He and his comrades are welcomed by Dido, the queen and urgedto make their home with the Carthag'inians, Venus, the mother of Aeneas, distrusts this hospitality. To protect her son, she instructs Cupid toshoot a dart into Dido's heart thatshe may love Aeneas. But her loveis ill-fated and results in tragedy.The cast includes ten characters,assisted by a chorus of sixteen singers, who will give the prelude andfour other numbers. At the dressrehearsal, the directors expressedthemselves as being quite satisfied bythe improvements that had been madein the production. A fetW remainingtickets may be obtained at the door.The price of admission is twenty-fivecents. "And so, with these' changes whichhave taken place in Europe, with thefact that the world is smaller nowthan it has ever been before, throughthe medium of our forms of communication and transportation, withthe- fact that the United States hasassumed the dimensions of a worldpower, we are foreed to change ourtraditional policy. The United Statesis brought back into the whirl of worldpolities, with a probability that itwill never be isolated again."Before the war broke out, andeven after it, �e heard from time totime of plans to establish a leaguefor the' preservation of world peace.Now, with the entrance of the United States into the conflict, I am surethat there is a league for the enforcement of peace;in.tbe world. For withdemocratic Britain, France and Dussia and the United States, we havethe very epitome of a leagile to preserve the peaee of the �world, andto crush those who reNae to bepeaceful.
