Baroness de Hueck Thursday afterneon at 3:30 o'clock In the Lounge
of Richardson hall. The Baroness
will speak on World Youth Movements and all students and faculty
members are Invited to attend.
Baroness de Hueck is a daughter
of a colonel in the Imperial Hussars
who was left penniless as a result
of the revolt of the Bolshevists.
Imprisoned for some months, the
Baroness finally made good her escape and joined the British Red
Cross. She so distinguished herself
in this service, that the British
government decorated her at the
close of the World War.
Last year, this popular lecturer
and journalist toured Europe as a
correspondent for a nationally
known magazine. She was included
as one of the speakers presented
in Troy Music Hall by the Catholic
Forum.
Originally scheduled to
speak for but an hour, the Baroness
so captured her audience that even
after two hours, it was reluctant to
permit her to conclude. She is in
this vicinity at this time in order
to fill a return engagement in Troy.
Internationally known as a socialservice worker, the Baroness is the
founder of the Friendship houses in
Toronto, Canada. At present, she is
director of the Friendship house in
Harlem. She will be introduced by
Dean Moreland, and after speaking
on youth movements, will conduct a
discussion and answer questions on
the subject.
Faculty guests will include: Miss
Agnes Futterer, assistant professor
of English; Dr. Thomas Klnsella,
Instructor and supervisor In commerce; Mr. John A. Mahar, professor of French; and Miss Grace
Martin, instructor of art. Charles
Kelly, '39, and Fred Ferris, '42, are
In charge of arrangements.
In her appearance at Troy last
year, the Baroness Included much
information of interest concerning
European youth movements. She
emphasized England and Belgium in
this connection and reviewed conditions in Portugal. Concerning
Belgium, the Baroness spoke of a
program of work and study thnt to
the average American student would
seem most ambitious.
It is expected that stud

• Classroom conduct hasn't changed much since the latter part of
the 14th Century when Henricus de Alemania lectured at the
famous School of Bologna (no gag). Boredom, gossip, laughter,
weariness and argument are all present in the student body. The
scholarly lecturer sits almost on the ceiling, a symbol of his intellectual superiority and — also — a good vantage point during
exams. Some of the students are unshaven because good old
Bologna hadn't won a badminton match since early in the century. (Miniature painting by Laurentius de Voltolina.)

• Here are the recqueteers of the class of '12 practicing for the finals
of the National Intercollegiate Indoors. Court tennis was a bit different
in those days; the rules were more complicated and you had to hit that
oval painted on the back wall for some esoteric reason. The tennis balls
sprinkled around the court and in the basket bear a suspicious resemblance to fruit but it's probably just the artist's fault. Or should we cell
it a "fruit-fault"?

tht 14th Century when Honricus do Alomania locturtd at tht
famous School of Bologna (no gag). Bortdom, gossip, laughter,

scholarly lecturer sits almost on the ceiling, a symbol of his intellectual superiority and — also — a good vantage point during
exams. Some of the students are unshaven because good old

Student Clubs
Will Be Active
Next Few Weeks
New Student Patriot League
Will Conduct Meeting
This Afternoon
Clubs and other student organizations of State college will be busy
during the next few weeks, despite
the break in the school calendar provided by Easter vacation. The leaders of the various groups report
several activities.
The Student Patriot League will
conduct its first meeting today at
3:30 o'clock in room 109 of Draper
hall.
S.P.L. has been recently
formed, and this first meeting will
be devoted to better organization
of the group. The ideal of the organization, according to its founders,
is to "stimulate a more intelligent
patriotism and a deeper appreciation of American democratic ideals
among the red-blooded youth of
America."
SCA Easter Service
The Students and Religion commission of the Student Christian
association will sponsor an Easter
service on Tuesday at 12:00 o'clock
in the Unitarian chapel. The service will be under the direction of
Jean Mitchell, '40. She will be assisted by Mary Miller and Merrill
Walrath, sophomores, in charge of
music; Robert Karpen and Douglas
Rector, juniors, and Donald Minturn, '41, in charge of publicity; and
Eloise Hartmann, '40, Douglas Dillenbeck, '41, and Roy Carlson,
graduate student, in charge of arrangements. Dr. Caroline Croasdale,
professor of hygiene, will lead the
service.
Discussion on Religion
Students and Religion commission
of S.C.A. will also sponsor a round
