Prof. Smith, fellow of Peterhouse and history lecturer at Cambridge University, gave "a deliberately one-sided account" of the 19th century leader who was instru- mental in uniting Italy. One of the common assumptions about Cavour is that he acted with the goal of Italian unity in mind, Prof. Smith said. But "far from planning it out, he had little or no idea of where he was going." Realism Makes Success Realism and an excellent sense of timing were responsible for his success, Prof. Smith continued. Cavour planned a large war, sup- posedly to unify Italy, but in his private correspondence spoke of "the aggrandizement of Pied- mont." Another help to him was the "un-Italian" part of his outlook, he said. Cavour's Swiss and French influences made him more Euro- pean than Italian and he "imbibed his political doctrines from the July monarchy." His French influence was espe- cially strong and Prof., Smith thinks he "studied France more than Italy." He felt most at home in northern Italy which "was in spirit more a part of Europe," Prof. Smith added. . Writes First Paper The paper Il Risorgimento was Cavour's first medium for reform ideas. Through the paper he ad- vocated war with Austria in 1848 when the Milanese revolted against the Austrians. In Nov., 1852, he became Prime Minister. In the subsequent years Cavour created a "rubber-stamp" parliament which hurt his en- emies, Prof. Smith said. These included the extreme right, the left, the Catholic church, and the king. Creation of this Parliament is regarded as one of his greatest acts as a politician. In 1854 Cavour decided to in- volve Piedmont in the Crimean War. Although this has gone down as one of his greatest moves, Prof. Smith called it discreditable and said it "had little aim in mind."

Or, show that the square root of two is irrational: These problems are typical of those being assigned by Prof. E. E. Moise of the mathematics depart- ment to the. 52 students in his freshman honors math sequence, '17h and 18h. Although analytic geometry and calculus constitute the primary material covered, the relatively high pace of work allows time for investigation of topics not nor- mally presented in beginning math courses, Prof. Moise explained.

The king tried to get rid of Cavour by getting France to sign a treaty which would involve Pied- mqnt in the war. Cavour an- nounced in Parliament that his government= was trying to fight the Crimean War. In 1856, he decided to have a European War which would op- pose Austria and Piedmont, Prof. Smith said. His bravado' deluded' him into thinking,however, that he could fight Austria and England at the same time. He persuaded France to help him and war broke out in 1859. At this time Cavour had occa- sionally become the victim of al- most delirious fits. Causes Failure In 1860 Cavour was responsible for makirg the Villafranca Armis- tice "a minor failure," he stressed. Later that year he opposed Gari- baldi's army and annexed part of, the papal states. During this, time Cavour was idealized by Italian historians to help him stabilize the regime and make nationalism attractive to the people. "He faced a difficult situa- tion and made the best of it," Prof. Smith believes, "and had he been a visionary idealist, Italy may never have been unified." FRESHMAN MATH-Prof. E. E.
