Hutchins of Chicago University; Dr. Gould Wickey, executive secretary of the two religious associations; and many others. From the Symposium on Higher Education in the South, which met in Nashville last week, President Allen brought back this quotation from the speech of Dr. O. C. Carm- chael, of Vanderbilt University: "The purpose of a college is not to impart learning, but to impart the spirit of learning." Secretary of the Interior Ickes spoke in this vein in Chicago, and Dr. Allen quoted two of his observations: "No education is complete if it does not develop a spirit of social and political participation," and, "Dictatorship cannot thrive on education: democracy cannot thrive without it." Executive secretary Wickey, according to Dr. Allen, said a great truth when he spoke the words— "No education is stronger than the philosophy on which it is founded." And still another quotation favored by Stetson's president is that expressed by Prof. Forester— "Our task is to set the trends: not to sit by and watch for them." "These are only a part of the many marvelous things which I heard at the meetings," said Dr. Allen, "and I have enough left to make a speech in chapel." Following the convention in Chicago, Dr. Allen spent a week as a member of a committee studying: Picture postcards of the Stetson camp'— hi'- sale in the "book Sullivan operas and has had the largest first run of their comedies.
