THE MICHIGAN DAILY THEA^ JANUARY6, 11 Mrs. Sehall To Run 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." r - - - - -7 - 7 7 "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. This eminence is -Associated Press Photo. Mrs. Thomas D.

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. I)1% C i-mmer Is 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. Of his important contributions Dr. 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."
