RECITAL OF
WAR POETRY
Dr. Thompson, Assisted by Mrs.
James Taafe, Entertains
Promethean
One of tlic most enjoyable as
well as profitable evenings ever
spent by tlie society, was at its
last meeting, Thursday evening of
last week. The entire program
.was in charge of Dr. 11 arotd
Thompson, of the English department, assisted by Mrs. James
Taafe, alto soloist at the First
Presbyterian church, The subject
ol the evening was " War Poetry."
President Margaret Shcvlin presided at the meeting. After announcing that the next meeting of
Promethean would occur on March
seventh, and that election of officers for the second semester would
take place at that time, she introduced Dr. Thompson. By' way of
introduction, Dr. Thompson said
that he did not intend to present a
lecture, but rather wished to
present a few examples of the different types of poetry that the war
has brought out among the Allies.
As a keynote to the whole program, Dr. Thompson read Galsworthy's " Courage." Next followed type poems representing the
spirit of each of the countries on.
this same subject. England was
best represented by Kipling, whose
poetry first gave us the word
" l i n n " in its present usage, Dr.
Einley's poem, " The Red Cross
Spirit Speaks," is an excellent illustration of the American spirit.
After this was read, Mrs. Taafe
sang the selection, as set to music
by Horatio Parker of Yale, Two
French poems, " Vive L'Francc"
and "The Soul of Joan D'Arc,"
were next read. The latter expresses the spirit woman has shown
throughout the war. To further
illustrate this point, Mrs. Taafe

fie declared that a new emphasis on our Revolution could be
gained from the present experience of Russia with Bolshcviki. He
styled Washington " a very prosperous looking gentleman," saying, " I t is a part of our valuable
inheritance (hat our Revolution
was not left to the lower classes,
that a prosperous looking gentleman with other prosperous ones
like Alexander Hamilton, were our
leaders. We had our Bolsheviki,

a change, little matter what sort,

were not the class of men to whom
we entrusted the task of forming
an enduring government. Let us
be proud of the things we have,
no longer minimizing the dignity,
conservatism and solid information
of a Washington, nor the constructive financial genius of a
Hamilton."
Mr. Risley then tried the historical experiment of

present-day basis of non-intervention, Mr. Risley said, " Non-intervention is self determinism, the
right of each people to develop in
its own way without outside interference.
" Viewing the present emphasis
on the personality of rulers, who
shall say that with a man of the
dictator stamp in the highest
office, with a military personage
leading a disaffected army, the
whole background of the Revolution might not have been disregarded? It staggers the imagination to think of Washington as the
forerunner of Napoleon Bonaparte
and of William Hohonzollcrn, so
different from them was his whole
character. Let us glory in our
possession as a national heritage of
the memory of the plain, country
gentleman, who longed for his estates even while in office, and who
rejoiced to go back to his farm,
his horses, his dogs, as soon as release from office came.
"A slight view of history as it
was not makes us glad that our
Father of his Country was neither
a radical nor a 'royalist."
Mr. Risley then regarded Lincoln in the light of present developments, saying that Lincoln's
attitude toward Seward's early advice now assumes a wholly new
aspect. " Seward urged Lincoln
to make foreign war as a cure for
internal dissension, a policy in
favor with foreign rulers from
Frederick the Great through Bismarck, to William the Second.
But apparently this is not the kind
of policy made in America, for
Lincoln never gave it a second
thought. The sole recourse of
Germany was totally foreign to
Lincoln's character and to American genius."
The Gettysburg Address was
lauded for its universality, its
special application to democracy
today — particularly • as Lincoln
spoke in the closing sentence,
"That this government of the
people, by the people, and for the
people shall not perish from the
earth." Mr. Risley, then, by a daring paraphrase of the address emphasized Lincoln's patriotism. "Let
us imagine that the Kaiser is delivering an address at the battlefield of Verdun, spoken with his
customary bombast, irreverence,
and lack of respect for popular
government, It would have been
a physical and psychological impossibility for him to have thought
out one line of an address of the
sort Lincoln gave. Lincoln's was
made in America.
" On . such an occasion as we
have imagined, William the Second
might have spoken thus: 'Twoscore and eight years ago, my ancestors brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in
autocracy and dedicated to the proposition that I am it. Now we are engaged in a great illegal war, testContinued on page 4

Purple and Gold Five Suffers 34 to
25 Defeat in Hard Fought Game
Superior passwork and shooting
enabled the Pratt Institute quintet
to defeat the defenders of State
College in the Albany High
School gymnasium, Saturday last.
Pratt's victory was a spectacular
one, four of their field baskets
being made from midcourt. The
contest was one of the best ever
seen on the High School court,
and although the home team went
down to defeat it was not until it
had put up the hardest kind of a
fight and displayed a good brand
of basketball.

Pratt was the first to score,
Captain Van Leyen scoring; from
the foul line within a minute after
the whistle blew. Fitelson soon

" Little " Fitz made the first score
for State College by dropping one
in from the foul line. Both teams
added to their score by baskets
from the penalty line, With the
score 8-3 against State, Fitz came
through with three more points
from the foul line. The Brooklyn
boys then cut loose and scored
six field baskets from different
parts of the court. Barry scored
from midcourt and Fitz soon followed with three more counters

YORK TRIP THIS
WEEK
Purple and Gold to Play Manhattan, Pratt and Stevens
Manager Sutherland will take
his basketball warriors on their
New York trip this week. The
boys will leave Albany early
Thursday noon, and play Manhattan in New York Thursday
night. Coach Maroney predicts a
victory over Manhattan, because
the Manhattan-State College game
played _ here was won by only a
two-point margin. Coach Maroney
deserves great credit for the big
improvement in the team since the
beginning of the season. He has
worked wonders with the available
material at the College. Speaking
of the matter recently, he said,
"They arc the best bunch of fellows I ever handled. They're always fighting and ready to take
any suggestions, and that counts a
whole lot."
Friday night will find the State
College defenders lined up against
Pratt Institute. Previous to their
northern trip, the Pratt five had
won nine straight games.
Captain Fitz and his men will
clash with Stevens Institute Saturday night. The Hoboken quintet
have been meeting with great success this season, having won
eleven straight games.
The trip will certainly be a
trying one, as three games in a
row is_ hard for any team. However, if the team keeps up the
record of its recent northern trip, the
best record made of all trips taken,
the time and effort will have been
well spent.

Of spinach and kale,
And I've never raised a row,
I have swallowed a can
Of moistened bran
And I feel like a brindle cow.

I count them o'er by the weary

First t w o I knit, then t w o I purl,
And r o u n d the leg I slowly reel;
Now joyful paens to the heavens I
hurl,
I've turned t h e heel.
Oh, k n o t t e d ends that scratch and

Oh, stitch t h a t dropped, uneven

I kiss each blight and strive at last

LECTURES ON DEMOCRACY
Continued from Page !
trance into the war focussed the
attention of the civilized world
upon us and upon our governmental ideals. Our Democracy, as
championed by President Wilson,
has been accepted as a worthy
ideal by England, France and
Italy; and Russia is even now
groping about in the darkness of
.revolutionary chaos after this
same Democracy, Even Germany
comes forward with a claim that
she too has heard of Democracy
and even insists that she has made
it part of her system. The world
is fighting for Democracy.
But what is Democracy? Can an
ifjeal of government embrace such
diversity of forms as are represented by the Allies' governments?
The lectures on Democracy by
the State College faculty will try
to answer some of the questions
that promptly arise when we think
of Democracy. The speakers will
try to interpret the various phases
of the subject, and will surely
stimulate our thinking on this
momentous matter.
rather for us to he here dedicated
to the great task remaining before
us — that from these honored
words you take increased devotion
to that task for which I have not
yet given the last full measure of
words; that you here highly resolve that I shall not have spoken
in vain; that this nation, under ME,
shall have a new birth of autocracy; and that government of the
Hohenzollcrns, by the Hohenzollcrns, and for the Potsdam gang,
shall not perish from the earth.'
" Let us thank God at least twice
a year for the blessing of living in
a country whose heroes are Washington and Lincoln, not Frederick
the Great and Bismarck."
Mr. Risley then spoke of the
difficulty of Woodrow Wilson's
present task, "Washington's problem was to make a nation free, Lincoln's to keep a nation intact, But
Wilson must preserve a nation
from a foreign foe, and so manage
its internal affairs that we may be
leaders of foreign thought as we
always have been."
Mr. Risley deplored the wholesale optimism into which so many
of. us have been lulled, and urged
that we "fight the kind of fighting
that is made in America."
In closing, Mr. Risley suggested
that each of us, as he or she enters
our college building, shall salute
the flag that was made in America.
"The stars in that flag stand for
our undivided country, the red for
the blood shed by the boys of yesterday and today, the white for the
purity of our purpose, the blue for
the souls of men like the valiant
Washington and the martyred
Lincoln."
