Features Of France Described
DAILY OFFICIAL
IBiJLIITI
Inuw, its puptlituce, its art and its
science, were described by Prof. Mich-
ael S. Pargment of the French de-
partment, in a speech yesterday over
the University Broadcasting Service.
"The race elements which have
gone into the making of the French
nation are quite as numerous as those
that have contributed to the forma-
tion of the American nation," Profes-
sor Pargment stated. The Gauls, the
Romans and the Franks are, however,
the main races- which have combined
"in the melting-pot of Europe," he
said, and the unity of the French na-
tion thus resides not in the race, but
in the nation itself.
The climate of France, Professor
Pargment continued, is characterized
by its great variety. In a short time
one can go from a cold winter cli-
mate to one of a hot summer and
through all the others, he explained.
Speaking of Paris, Professor Parg-
ment declared, "it is much more than
gay; it is, without a doubt, the most
industrious, patient and disciplined
city of the world. It is the heart
and mind of its country. Also it is the
intellectual and artistic Mecca of the
world.
"The population of France," the
speaker continued, "is increasing due
to the readiness with which France
receives into its midst the different
races and people from other nations."
France assimilates foreigners more
rapidlyand more completely than
any other nation. A French na-
turalized citizen is, as a general rule,
a Frenchman heart and soul."
The race problem, moreover, Pro-
fessor Pargment pointed out, plays
a very insignificant role in France.
"The Frenchman possesses neither
racial instinct nor racial conscience.
He does not understand the attitude
of the Anglo-Saxons towards the col-
ored races. He judges men only
according to the civilization to which
they are attached."

"Democracy," the spvaker deckared,
"is probably a greater reality in
France than in any other European
country." This, he explained, is be-
cause no job is political, "all power
being almost at all times in the hands
of the electors." Moreover, FranceE
"is a country of great freedom," he
added.
"France is one of the mightiest cul-
tural forces in the world," Professor
Pargment stated.

Club Is Addressed
By Prof. Meinecke
Prof. Bruno Meinecke of the Latin
department went to Detroit yester-
day to deliver a lecture before the
"Classical Teachers" Club of Detroit
on "Music Among the Greeks and
Romans."
Professor Meinecke discussed the
ancient theory of music. and demon-
strated the various genera and scales
on his violin, and played his own
arrangement of two important frag-
ments of Greek music. His first se-
lection was "The First Pythian Ode
of Pindar," and the second "Hymn to
Demeter."
He also showed slides representing
the ancient sources as found in ob-
jects of art, in literateur and daily
life.
due to the humanism of French phi-
losophy, the universality and logical-
ity of its thought, and the clarity of
the language, he added.

Sitbject Of Book
Dr. Leroy Crummer, whose gift of
important books illustrating the his-
tory of medicine has been one of the
notable benefactions of the last few
years to the University Library, is
the subject of a recent book, "A Doc-
tor's Odyssey," by A. Gaylord Bea-
man of Los Angeles.
The volume is illustrated with pho-
tographs of some of Dr. Crummer's
books as shown in the exhibit cases
of the General Library.
Dr. Crummer has spent a varied
and successful life as a physician,
teacher, book collector and author.

William W. Bishop, University li-
brarian, commented, "The import-
ance of the Crummer Collection to
students of the history of medicine
at this University cannot be over-
emphasized."
