of Conference.
Whether ideas or ideals are the
biggest assets in achieving suc-
cess will be considered at a parley
on personal philosophies to be
held the second week following
the spring vacation.
Faculty members, including
scientists and scholars who have
achieved a recognized standing,
will gather informally around a
table with interested students and
reveal many interesting facts
about how they view the broad gen-
eral problems of life and happiness.
With a representative cross section
of philosophical thought, including
athiests, free thinkers and the
more orthodox believers, clashing
mentally on questions of work,
idealism, sex, personal happiness,
it is hoped that a hitherto untouch-
ed field of student interest and
opinion will be opened up.
To Be Held in April.
Initiative for the gathering was
begun about a week ago when a
small group of students got togeth-
er and put the question: "the fac-
ulty members give us academic in-
struction in a multitude of the sci-
ences and professions, why can't
they give us some of the intimate
personal ideas which they hold in
support of their theories on how
to live, whatever they may be?"
Headed by Ivan Williamson, '33,
a committee. was chosen to put the
Idea into- concre form. -April 23
and 24 have been set as the dates
for the parley which will probably
be held in the union or the league.
Professors have been interviewed
and many students have already
expressed a keen desire to put the
professors "on the carpet" with re-
gard to their philosophies of life.
Pian Breakfasi.
The first day of the parley, a
Saturday, will see two round table
conferences at 2:30 and 7:30 o'clock
while on the following Sunday
morning a breakfast for those at-
tending will be scheduled for 8:30
o'clock.
Other students on the committee
which is making the plans for the
two-day session include: Wilbur J.

Navy Triumph.
ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 19.-(G)
-Walter Spence of Rutgers scored
the feature triumph of the 26th
annual individual meet of the In-
tercollegiate Swimming association
at the naval academy pool here
today by capturing two crowns, the
300-yard medley race and the 400-
yard swim.
Navy also took two titles while
Yale, who entered the finals with
15 qualifiers, netted one first place
and divided another with Dart-
mouth. Harvard, Brown and Co-
lumbia gained one champion each.
Spence, who competed in the 1928
Olympics for Canada, won the
medley race without great effort
and then came back to capture the
440-yard swim in 5:13.9, clipping
0:08.5 off the naval'academy's pool
record.
For the first time in the history
of the association, two champions
were declared in a single event

Johnny Schmieler and Taylor
Drysdale of the University of

Schmieler did the 100-yard
free style in 54:6 and the 200-
yard breast stroke event in
2:41.5, while Drysdale was first
in the 150-yard backstroke with
a time of 1:46.8, and in the 200-
yard free-style in 2:27.8.
Banfleld of Dartmouth and Fobes
of Yale raced to a dead heat in the
50-yard swim and as officials were
unable to pick the winner, each
was given a right to hold the title
jointly for the coming year. Their
time was 0:24.2.
Stowell of Harvard made the
only other record-breaking per-
formance when he clipped more
than a second off the 150-yard
backstroke mark set yesterday in
the preliminaries by Anderson of
Yale. Stowell's time was 1:47.1.
Brown won the 200-yard fresh-
man relay race in 1:40.4. Butler
led two Yale teammates in the 220-
yard swim, winning in 2:23. Mc-

-Henry "Red" Johnson, the sailo3

baby's nurse, was led about the
Lindbergh estate by detectives to'
day, to determine how much h.

He was not under arrest, buW
detectives wanted to learn whethe:
or not he had been an unwittini
aid to the kidnappers.
While Johnson was being exam-
ined at the Lindbergh home, an-
other man was arrested at South
Plainfield after an attempted kid-
napping or burglary at Highland
Park, about 20 miles away.
This man, who gave his name as
she slept with the Johnson's infant
ion. The interloper fled. Malder
vas arrested and identified by boti'
n~urse and grounds keeper.
He was fingerprinted and thr
irnts brought at once to Hope

the methods of the Lindbergh baby
Kidnapper and the man at th'
Tohnson home, both of whom rais-
ed ladders to nursery windows.
In the morning bulletin from the
Lindbergh house, it was said that
Paul and Kate Engstenberg, serv-
ants who suddenly left their place
of employment in Franklin Park
the day after the kidnapping, had
made complete statements and had
been allowed to return to their new
jobs in Ardmore, Pa.
