istorye Department Presents
Varied Views On Rulers Vist
By HERVIE HAUFLER
England's King George VI and
Queen Elizabeth have arrived on
North American soil, the first British
monarchs to journey here, and ex-
planations of the visit by faculty;
members in the history department
range from that of a royal pleasure
cruisento matters of profound world
portent.
Prof. Arthur L. Cross points out
that the King and Queen were invited
to visit America, and specifically to
tour the New York World's' Fair. The
usual British response to an Ameri-
can invitation has been to send a
prince. The Duke of Windsor, then
Prince of Wales, and Prince Edward,
later Edward VII, have toured here
as good-will ambassadors of Eng-
land, Professor Cross explained.
'Friendly, Good-Will. Tour'
There is a 'danger, Professor Cross
believes, of reading too deep a mean-
ing into what in normal times might
well 'be merely a friendly good-will
tour. However, the journey of Queen
Victoria to receive the title "Empress
of India," he admits, undoubtedly
stimulated India's patriotism to the
British Empire.
Rumors that the royal couple left
England because of the imminence
of Eurbpean war are called false by
Professor Cross. Monarchs have : a
heritage of being calm in the face of
peril; he explains, and the British
rulers would: encourage their sub-
jects' morale rather- than flee from
danger.
Several professors emphasised the
loose organization of the British Em-
pire as an important reason for the'
rulers' trip. Technically each domin-
ion can decide whether or not to aid
the' mother country in event of war.
Thie union is becoming more and
more one of good-will and economic
relations, and the monarchs' visit
serves as mortar to help in keeping
the structure together.
French-Canadian Problem
The French settlers in Canada offer
a particularly knotty problem in keep-
ing that dominion favorable to Eng-
land. French settlers demand a
measure of autonomy, including the
right to speak their own language,
and are not enthusiastic in backing
England's policies. The royal visit
may serve to impress the French-'
Canadians and swing them toward
a closer cooperation with England.
Prof. Dwight L. Dumond points out
that the British spent great sums in
introducing Edward, Prince of Wales,
to the world, only to have him abdi-
cate after a few months as King Ed-
ward VIII. King George, however,
did not travel widely as a prince and
consequently does not as yet have the
full sympathies of his subjects.
Still another rumor which has been
voiced is that the monarchs may be
surveying the possibilties of a new
seat f'r the British Empire, a capital
to replace London, extremely valner-
able to air attack.
All professors who were interviewed
agreed that the rulers' visit to the
United States may be designed as an
important step in the British drive to
swing American support behind Eng-
land and France.
bury the dead."
A great dispute still rages over the
origin of the use of caps and gowns
at Swingout. Prof. Edwin C. God-
dard, of the Law School, believes
there were no caps and gowns until
long after 1889; but Prof. Arthur L.
Cross, of the history department, says
they were here when he came in 1890.
Professor Moore, an authority on
Swingout, said, "the origin has been
